N TESTIMONIALS to the EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE LATE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE. _ (From the Manchester Guardian). 4. It will be recollected that at the great meeting held in Manchester on the 2d of July last, for the purpose of dissolving the Anti-Corn-law Lellgue, it was determined to acknowledge the exertions of the various members of the executive council, by the presentation of some public testimonial. On that occasion Mr. William Rathbone, of Liverpool, moved the following resolution, and it was at once adopted by the assembly :—" That the members of the Executive Council of the League are enti:led to the warmest gratitude of the League and of the couniry, for their high-principled, laborious, and most successful exertions, during the seven years of our constitutional agitation; and that a committee be appointed, consisting of Joseph Brotherton, Esq., M.P., and such gentlemen as may be associated with himself, to determine on some suitable testimonial to be presented to those gentlemen out of the funds of the League." _ _ _ _ _ In accordance with this resolution, Mr. BROTHERTON, M.P., requested Mr. George Wilson, late chairman, of the League, and Mr. Alderman Harvey, of Salford, to determine with him the best mode of carrying out the wishes of the meeting ; and, after a little conversation, they resolved to present a handsome service of plate to each of the following gentlemen, the members of the executive council:—Mr. Archibald Prentice, who had attended the committee meetings 1,127 times; Mr. Samuel Lees, 862 times ; Mr. William Rawson, 601 times ; Mr. Thomas Woolley, 485 times ; 111 n William Bickham, 474 times ; Mr. \Villiai' Evans, 444 times ; and Mr. H. Rawson, 258 times. Olz Saturday evening last these gentlemen were invited by Mr. Brotherton and his associates to partake of tea, in the council room of the League, in Newall's-builings, Market-street. After tea, Mr. Brotherton took the chair, and the tes timonials to the gentlemen above-named were brought into the room. Each consists of a complete silver coffee service, with silver tea-urn, and a large splendid salver. The urns are of the Etruscan form and style, the handles being richly worked with foliage, the body elaborately adorned with emblematic ornaments, inter spersed with scrolls, and the tops are surmounted with beautiful representations of three sheaves of wheat. The large salver is richly ornamented with a scroll border interspersed with wheat sheaves, and bearing the devices of the bee-hive, the cornucopia, and sailing and steam ships (all admirably executed), emblematic of in dustry, plenty, and commerce. These emblems are also e l a borately worked on the whole of the service, the sugar b a ;jll and cream ewer being richly gilt inside. Each service ;,'as contained in a substantial oak plate chest, with brass inscriptions, and having separate par titions for the various articles. Of these services there were five sets; but to meet the wishes of Mr. Woolley, the committee presented to him a magnificent silver epergne with a plateau or t....+q11d, of equal value with the other testimonials. This e p e e was elaborately worked with similar emblematic ornaments, upon an nts, with four , branches of frosted silver, and was placeu ele gant plateau, eighteen inches in diameter, with a richly chased border of grapes and vine leaves. Mr. BROTHERTON, M.P., in presenting the testinin• nials, briefly alluded to the resolution we have given above, and then expressed a wish that it should be un derstood and generally known that these tributes were not meant as rewards, but simply as an acknowledgment of the deep debt of gratitude which the public owed to the members of the executive council of the League, who had, by their persevering conduct, performed such services to their country ; services which it was impos sible fully to estimate, and which would prodice never-ending harvest of good to the nation, In esti mating those services they should recollect the great difficulties which had been encounteral, and in order to appreciate the labours of the council, they must take into account the circumstances in which they were placed. They should consider the state of the public mind at the time the League first commenced operations, and they must add to that the fact that the population was uninstructed to a considerable extent in the princi ples of free trade ; nor must they forget that they had not only to oppose a Parliament of monopolists, but the monopolist principles of the landowner, the West India planter, and the Canadian shipowner, for whose benefit taxes had been imposed upon corn, sugar, and timber. It was impossible, 'a hen they viewed the triumph which had been accomplished, and the difficulties which had been overcome, to estimate the value of the services ren dered by these gentlemen in directing the movements of the League, but he was satisfied that, by their exertions, principles had been established which would tend to the general happiness of mankind.—(Hear, hear.) He esteemed it a great honour to have had the privilege of being made the organ of the League for the presentation of those memorials to the members of their executive council for their eminent services in brining about the repeal of the corn-laws, and establishing free-trade prin ciples for all the nations of the earth. He would only add, that he wished them all health and happiness long to enjoy the fruits of their triumph ; and he trusted that when they saw those testimonials occasionally upon their tables, they would be reminded of the past, and be gratified by the recollection at the result of their la bours. Their names would be handed down to poste rity with respect and esteem ; they would be remem bered by their countrymen of the present times with pride and respect, and by nations yet unborn with gra titude and veneration.—(Approbation.) Mr. Brotherton then formally presented the testi menials. Mr. Alderman HARVEY, in expressing his concur rence in the observations of the chairman, remarked that it might have been expected some more public oc casion should have been taken to present these memo rials to the members of the exeutive council ; but as they had carried on their valuable labours without ostentation, it was, in his opinion, the most fitting course to reward their exertions in a quiet and unos tentatious manner, without any public demonstration. Mr. PRENTICE, on behalf of hiroselrand those who had been associated with him, said he had felt deeply grateful for the handsome manner in which their ser vices had been acknowledged. These splendid testimo nials would be valuable and gratifying to themselves and their families, as a proof, not only of the gratitude, but of the justice of the 14( ague towards those who had un dertaken to do its work. --- Mr. WILLIAM EVANS also acknowledged the high compliment which had been paid to himself and col leagues, and remarked that it was a subject of general regret amongst them that it was imposs'ible to include numbers of other gentlemen, whose services in the cause had been invaluable, in so honourable a distinction. H e was sure, however, th a t t h e mem b ers o f the execut i ve council were extrem e ly proud of the compliment paid to them, and that th e y would always regard it with feelingsof gratitud e an d sat i s f act i on , ass ociated as it was with one of the greatest struggles for public nsOulness in which any body of men had ever joined. The meeting then separated. --'\ cdrit - _-= ''s )4---.: - --- -.,- 1 • - '; 7 .;! ,, 4;7 1 *1 &PM SM.a.' - The usual weekly meeting of the Manchester Com mittee, in connexion with the abova fund, was held at seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, in the League Room, Newan-buildings. There were present Mr. G. Wil son (in the chair), Messrs. Nodal, Barker, Armstrong, Latham, Hampson, Prentice. B. Syddall, J. E. Rule. J. Lees, and W. M`Cartney. Mr. Pattison read the mi nutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. 'The Chairman then read the report of the progress of their fund, during the past week, which stated that since the last meeting the fund had increased from 72.3001 to 73,400/., making an increase of upwards of 1,0001. during the last week. Of this increase Manchester had contri buted 289/, Is. 6d. ; Huddersfield, 620/. 15s.—(Hear.) The subscriptions from Huddersfield (the Chairman. remarked) were accompanied by 100/. towards " the Bright testimonial," and the parties were extremely anxious that the two subscriptions should appear conjointly, in tbn same advertisement, in the papers. This would interfere somewhat with the arrangements of the committee, but as the application was from such zealous free-traders as the people of Huddersfield, their wishes would be complied with. Wigan had contributed 27/., and Halifax 90/. ; the small subscriptions amounted to 75/., making the total increase for the week 1,1011. 16s. 6fl. It might be noticed (the Chairman observed) that Mr. George Combe, who was known to those pre sent as having lectured at Manchester a few years since, and his brother, Dr. Andrew Combe, physician to the King of the Belgians, had each contributed 101. to wards the fund, and sent a letter expressive of great interest in the object. The fund in London was gra dually increasing, and a careful and systematic canvass was being prosecuted. A letter had been received from Mr. Harvey, of Dea, a lieutenant in the navy, in- closing a card, with subscriptions to the amount of five guineas. The following were the names upon the card: — Admiral Sir T. Trowbridge, Bart., M.P., IL ; Captain Boys, R.N., Deal, 1/. ; Mr. Harvey himself, it., anti other friends, at Deal, 21. ss. During the whole of the League proceedings (the Chairman continued) the admirals and sailors were its best supporters in many of those districts. The Chairman then read the letter, which expressed a hope that Mr. Cobden might be per fectly restored to health, and yet be placed among the rulers of this country. The Chairman, referring to the postscript of the letter, said that the committee, whete the subscription was completed, would publish a list of the subscribers, a copy of which would be sent to every subscriber. He then read a letter from Mr. Adam Corrie, of Wellingborough, in e vykiski e efeer speaking of his own illness for nearly two years, the writer says :--. "I feel most grateful to Mr. Cobden for his unwearied exertions in promoting the best interests of all descrip• tions of the people, whether they will own it or not. I have enclosed five pounds, which please add to the list of subscription. I sin cerely wish that Mr. Cobden may be restored to perfect health, and that he may be spared for many years to labour for the good of his fellow-man." The Chairman said, that with the exception of Halifax and Huddersfield, no reports had been received from the towns in Yorkshire, which was owing to having been engaged in preparing for the registration ; in another fortnight it was expected that a satisfactory report would be made. After a few additional remarks, the Chairman called upon Mr. Nodal, who reported that during the past week 901. 7s. had been subscribed in small sums, which, in addition to 171. 2-;., made a total of 4081. 2s. The sum promised was 1081. ss. 6d., and the whole amounted to 5161. 17s. 7d. An additional number of cards and books had also been distributed. The Chairman said it should also be borne in mind that the object of the committee was to get a large number of subscribers, without reference so much to the large amount of their subscriptions. They were anxious that all persons should have an opportunity of contributing to the fund. It must be expected that the collection of so considerable a sum was not to be effected in a short time ; still there was nothing to show that it was not proceeding satisfactorily, or that much had been neglected so far.—(Hear, hear.)

The attention of the Equitable Policy Holders le particularly called to the Half Credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which Table the Bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present Annual Payment of one half the rates charged by other Companies. In the event of death, the sum insured will be paid, less the amount of Premiums on Credit. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the Bonus, the Policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounceal l claim for the Half Premiums which may be due thereon ; or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the Policy can be kept up breommencing to pay the full Premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last Equitable Division in 1810, when it was largely , adopted, and many of the Policies then effected are still in force, and large Bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the following Table: — Sum Assured.

On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 17.—The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Johnston, arrived at Kingstown, Dublin, on Monday, from this port, at 5 A.m., and landed 20,0001. sterling of the money she carried out for the relief of the distressed Irish. On Tuesday she proceeded to Waterford, where she would land another moiety of the 80,0001. From Waterford she would proceed to Cork. No other man-of-ear was at Kingstown when the Comet left. The Bulldog steam-sloop, Commander Davies, will be ready for sea, if no fresh disaster befall her, to morrow night. Her newly appointed engineers have joined. - The Myrtle steam-vessel, a little craft of 116 tons and 60-horse power, arrived yesterday evening from the eastward, to supply the Cornet's place as a dispatch boat during the absence of the latter on the coast of Ireland, distributing money and meal to alleviate the prevailing distress. Her Majesty's ship Scout spoke, April 20, in lat. 26 degrees N., long. 18 degrees 40 minutes \V., the barque Esk, from Trieste, bound to Pernambuco ; May 6, in latitude 1 degree 30 minutes N., longitude 22 degrees 42 minutes W., the ship Hamilton, from and of Greenock, to Valparaiso ; May 15, lat. 17 de grees 25 minutes S., long. 27 degrees 48 minutes W., the barque Josephine, Liverpool to China, 57 days ; May 16, lat. 18 degrees 32 minutes S., long. 29 degreeslo minutes W., the brig William Woolley, London, to Algoa Bay, 56 days ; May 18, lat. 22 degrees 31 minutes S., long. 29 degrees 23 minutes W., the ship Nepaul, Ewing master, of Greenock, bound to Bombay, with loss of main and wizen masts,—after rigging jury masts for her, parted from her, bound to Rio Janeiro to refit. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 16.—His Imperial Majesty's Rus sian corvette Abo arrived here from Naples on the 11th instant, bound to Cronstadt, has been since detained by light contrary winds. During her detention Captain Nordmann and other officers ..;ttacbeA to her have visited the Pore-Admiial; - Sir. John West, Admiral-Su perintendent Sir Samuel Pym, and other heads of de partments. Li company with the Russian Consul, Mr. Luscombe, the following gentlemen attended the ball given on Mon day night in aid of the Female Orphan Asylum at Stoke, which was under the patronage of the Earl of Auckland, viz.:—Captain Nordmann, aide-de-camp to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias ; Captain Rud ner, Lieutenant Golovin, Lieutenant Corosackoff, Baron Luvenstern, and Count Aprafin, officers of the Abo. The same gentlemen were yesterday afternoon conducted over her Majesty's dockyard by Sir William Symonds, the Surveyor to the Navy. DEVONPORT, SEPT. 16.—0 n Monday evening the Earl of Auckland and the Lords of the Admiralty dined with the Hon. 11. Murray, Commander of the Forces in the Western District, at Mouutwise. On Tuesday morning their Lordships transacted business at the Royal Hotel. At eleven o'clock they visited the Royal Naval Hospital, the Royal Marine Barracks, and the Royal William Victualling-yard at Stonehouse. To-day the Lords of the Admiralty inspect the River Tamer, and in the evening dine with the Earl of Mount- Edgecumbe. To-morrow, in all probability, their Lordships will proceed in the Lightning steamer to inspect her Majesty's Dockyard at Pembroke. WOOLWICH, SEPT. I7.—Her Majesty's steam-packet Garland, Captain Smithett, has resumed her duties on the Dover station, having been absent three weeks, attending on the Queen during the royal cruises. The Garland appears to have gained great favour with her Majesty from the extraordinary speed she manifested the whole time she was with the royal squadron, no other steamer having the smallest chance of keeping pace with her, much to the astonishment of every officer and person on board the other vessels. - The Garland is ordered to be at Ostend on the 20th inst., to meet Lieutenant Waghorn, R.N., who is ex peck(' to arrive there on that day with the overland mail from India, via Trieste, Germany, Belgium, &c. In the event of the dispatches reaching London on Monday next, it will be an extraordinary triumph for this truly enterprising gentleman and all concerned in the experi ment. The Athol troop-ship was brought clown the river yesterday from Deptford to Woolwich, and her neces sary repairs are expected to be completed by Monday next, when she will embark Captain Thorndike's com pany of the Royal Artillery for Barbadoes, and Captain D'Arley's company of th e R o yal Artillery for Bermuda. No. 1 Company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, sta tioned at present at Woolwich, have been ordered to em bark in the Athol, under the command of Captain Gor don, of the Royal Engineers, for a passage! : to Bermuda, to relieve the company at that station. No. 1 Company will embark 70 strong, and on arriving at Bermuda will be joined by 30 of the youngest privates serving there at present, to raise the company to 100 men. The others will return to headquarters at Woolwich. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, returned to Woolwich at half-past seven o'clock yesterday morning from attending on his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief, and the Marquis of Anglesey, Master. General of the Ordnance, during the visit of these distinguished officers to Sheer nesi and Chatham. The Aurora corvette, belonging to his Majesty the King of Sardinia, and command e d by Captain the Mar quis Spinola, arrived at Woolwich at eight o'clock P.M. yesterday,,and remains at moorings opposite the Dock yard. The gallant Captain came on shore at eleven o'clock A.m. to-day, and accompanied the Sardinian Minister to the Royal Arsenal. There are betwixt 30 and 40 officers employed in, or studying for, the naval service of the Sardinian Government on board, who have come to this country to visit the principal naval and military establishments in England. The Sidon. steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, remains opposite the Dockyard, Woolwich, and a number of ship carpenters are employed upon her to get her ready for sea. A very serious accident occurred on board on Tuesday evening on her arrival at Woolwich, imme diately after her return. It, appears that two fine able bodied seamen were stationed at her bows to let go the anchor to hold the vessel in the river, and that by some means the cable caught hold of them, and store off the left arm of George Bone, and three lingers of the right hand of William Bayly. The sufferers were immedi ately attended to; and in the course of the night brought on shore to- the Royal Marine Hospital, where they re• main, in a better condition than could have been expected under the circumstances and the severe nature of the injuries they have sustained. The Emily and Henry hired convict•ship, with 176 female convicts on board, hoisted her sailing signal this morning, and is expected to leave her moorings, opposite the Royal Arsenal, in the course'of the afternoon. • PROMOTIONS.

A grievous event, the murder of the Cadi (chief magistrate) Lakhal, of the Ouled-Ahmed tribe, has lately taken place in the province of Constantina. The Cadi was making a journey through the district under his authority, for the purpose of receiving the taxes, ac companied only by some horsemen of his tribe and his servants. On the night of the 16th ult. this native chief had established his bivouac on the spot called Guiltet el-Farat, near a douar, or encampment of a fraction of the Olmas. Part of the night had already elapsed with. out the occurrence of anything to arouse the fears of Lakbal or his suite, and the servants of the Cadi, who had kept a good guard against marauders, were about to betake themselves to their slumber, when the report of a gun was suddenly heard from the tent of their chief. Some immediately snatched up their arms, while others took to flight under the impression of the danger by which they were menaced. Lakbal, although wounded, at once rose to face his assailants, upon whom he fired his gun, and afterwards attempted to defend himself with the butt, but speedily fell lifeless at the feet of his assas sins, pierced with numerous mortal wounds ; the mur derers afterwards mutilating the corpse of the old man in the most barbarous manner. Scarcely had this crime been consummated than the perpetrators decamped, carrying with them the money that had been previously raised, amounting to about 4,000 f., the h orses an d t h e mules of the murdered Cadi, leaving on th e th eatre o f this sanguinary drama nothing save a corpse and the tent, which was too heavy to be'taken with them. The accomplices in this murder are very numerous, and the unity with which they have acted has called for prompt repression. Lieutenant-General Bedeau quitted Con stantina on the 21st of August at. the head of a c o l umn , to avenge the death of this faithful chief, who fell a vic tim to his devotion to France. Numerous hostages have already fallen into the hands of Lieutenant-General Bedeau, and it is hoped that the assassins will soon be delivered up. —Sud de Marseilles. THE SPANISH MATCH.—AII the jewellers and gold smiths of Paris are at work on ornaments for the mar riage of that poor little victim the Queen of Spain, doomed to be executed to her cousin. The finery is spoken of, by competent judges of such matters, as being very superb. The" diamonds are said to b e as bright and almost as numerous as the tears shed by the bride, and the gold trinkets almost as heavy as her sighs. Her hymeneal manacles, though they may gall 'her to the bone, will at least be magnificently chased. N o m oc k ° widow was ever burned with greater splendour than will attend the Spanish bride to the altar. She-will be sacri ficed to marriage like a Queen. And when she has given her hand to her cousin, and promised to give her heart, the spirits of hypocrisy, and guile, and fraud (especiallye th a a y), will chant an composed for the occasion by that great master of domestic discord, the parent of mum inv e o x k p e r d es f , sl ) y r the solemnity), all falsehood. An amnesty will, it is said, be granted, and all political offences forgiven, on the marriage of the Queen. Poor thing ! She herself may forgive her enemies, but, as the Italian says, " it is not ordered that we should forgive our friends ;" and Isabella may bitterly remember thot exception gad Pritleges—kunch, BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. SOUTHAMPTON,, THURSDAY.—The Marquis of North ampton, Sir R. I. Murchison, Sir J. Herschel, the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Winchester, and all the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Secretaries of sections, to ;ether with Professors Oiirsted, Forchhammer, and Mid dendoriT, were entertained at dinner yesterday by the May or. entitled to the name of eminent in science in the British empire. He would, therefore, spurn any criticism which might be directed against them. When he saw himself supported by such men as Herschel, and Owen, and Faraday, he felt that it was no idle boast on his part, humble geologist as he was, to say that he spoke in the name of the united science of Britain. All they required was, 3n open stage and no favour, to have their acts investi gated, but instead of that, those who criticised them seized on mere excrescences of the meeting, which had no connexion whatever with the great objects which they were assembled to promote. After some further remarks, he announced that the Marchioness of Hastings, Lady Murchison, Mrs. Whitby, Mrs. Philips, and other ladies had that day paid their subscriptions and become members of the British Association. Mr. BULLER moved a vote of thanks to the President. Dr. RoniNsoN seconded the motion, and observed that the association was not the first scientific body that admitted ladies as members. The Royal Irish Academy had conferred the title of honorary corresponding mem bers on two ladies—ono was a near connexion of his own, and the other was no less than their distinguished countrywoman, Mrs. Somerville. Her fame was known to all, but it might not be known to many that, with all her transcendental mathematical knowledge, which so much astonished foreign philosophers, she was distin guished for her amiability and goodness in all the rela tions of private life. The Rev. Doctor alluded in lauda tory terms to the respect which Prince Albert had shown when attending the meetings of their sections to the opinions of men of superior scientific acquirements. Mr. L. HORNER thought it right the meeting should know that the second lady who had been admitted an honorary member of the Royal Irish Academy was Maria Edgeworth.—(Cheers.) The meeting shortly after adjourned. In concluding our report of the proceedings of the asscpiatiau‘bsokr.wpmay remark that there were several interesting exhibitions open in the s rown during the week. The principal was the model room attached to the mechanical section, in which were exhibited some rich specimens of Irish poplins, geological models, fossil shells, and mathematical instruments. The Messrs. Sowerby had also an extensive collection of shells and minerals on view. The most important feature of interest, not immedi ately connected with the association, was, however, the map-office of the Ordnance survey of Great Britain which was thrown open to the members of the associa tion. All the officers of the establishment, both com missioned and non-commissioned, were unremitting in their attentions to the visitors. Captain Yolland, the superintendent of the depot, was in particular most zealous in explaining the ingenious processes which have been adopted to facilitate the engraving and print ing, the perfect arrangement of all the complicated details of the surveys, the intricacy of the calculations, and the almost miraculous accuracy which has been attained, both in the observations and in the manner in which they are recorded and transcribed. A highly in teresting feature in this establishment is the reading room, which the deptot has established under the new regulation. Though there are but thirty men in the establishment here, they have expended no less than 301, —partly subscriptions from their officers—in fitting up a neat and commodious reading-room. It is provided with about a dozen large framed prints—one a present from her Majesty, two great geological maps of Great Britain and Ireland, coloured. Arrowsmith's large Atlas, and 824 volumes of books. The latter were, however, previously collected by the company under Captain Yolland's command. The reading-room is also provided with two or three of the leading London morning papers, and a selection of the best magazines and reviews. VISIT or THE ASSOCIATION TO PORTSMOUTH. PORTSbIOUTH, SEPT. 17.—A great number of ladies and gentlemen connected with the British Association, having their president, Sir R. I. Murchison, with them, arrived from Southampton, by the South-Western Rail way, at the Clarence-yard, Gosport, this morning, at eleven. There must have been upwards of 50, for Admiral Sir Charles Ogle sent his barge, and those of the Vic tory and Excellent, with some other boats, to embark the party, and they were packed so close that the men had to lay in their after oars. The distinguished party first went on board her Majesty's ship Excellent, and were received by Captain Chade and his officers, and a prodigious number of half-pay officers and others, who expected to see some experimental operations, suggested by members of the association. After several introduc tions had taken place, the party went over the upper and lower decks, and the guns being cast loose, they first witnessed the gun drill, and then several rounds of quick firing with blank cartridge from the 32-pounders, and the 8-inch and 10-inch guns. Inquiry was then made for some of Professor Schonbein's gun-cotton to be tried, but it happened that he was not one of the party, having, it was said, gone to London to take out a patent for his invention. Some disappointment was felt by the naval people on the occasion, but there was no help, and the only satisfaction which could be obtained and given to those who expected to have witnessed the explosive effects of the gun-cotton was an assurance that the Board of Ordnance had ordered one hundred weight to be purchased, and that it was to be tested at Woolwich, and on board the Excellent, when furnished by the Learned Professor. After the ladies and gen tlemen had adjourned to the poop of the Excellent to observe the effect of two 68-pounder shot, which were fired at the wreck of the iron steamer Ruby, both of which hit her, and knocked away large fragments, Sir R. Murchison, for himself and the members of the asso ciation, expressed to Captain Chads his thanks for the attention which had been paid to them, and the gratifi cation they felt in witnessing what had been done in this short Visit; 'the barges were then brought alongside, and the parties went to her Majesty's ship, Victory, packed as close as before ; here Captain Pasco and his officers received them, and escorted them over the ship, pointing out the various objects of cu• riosity in her, particularly the spot on which Nelson fell when wounded; the company, wany of whom had never been on board so large a ship, were much gratified when taken over the store-rooms, which were lighted up for the occasion, and after remaining on board near an hoar, the greater part of the members and their friends landed at the dockyard, and proceeded to Admiral Sir C. Ogle's house, where a splendid lunch had been provided on a most liberal scale. After lun cheon at Sir C. Ogle's, the party, much increased in numbers, and apparently mustering one hundred persons, went over the dockyard in groups, and were attended by Mr. Brown, the senior master attendant, and Mr. Fin eham, the master shipwright, who took them to the block machinery, metal mills, smithery, new steam basin, test house, hydraulic pump, rope-house, sail loft, &c. About five o'clock the party left the yard, and were taken across the harbour to the Clarence victualling department, which they inspected—the various parts of the baking machinery being explained by Mr. Grant, the store keeper and inventor of it. In the evening the learned body returned to their quarters at Southampton. MR. BULWER'S NOTE TO SENOR ISICURITZ. The following is the first note addressed to Senor Isturitz by Mr. Bulwer, the British ambassador at Madrid, protesting against the proposed marriage be tween the Infanta of Spain and the Due de Mont pensier : " Madrid, Aug. 31, 1846. " I have heard (though not from your Excellency) that in addition to the marriage of the Queen with Don Francisco de Assis, which has been announced to me, the Infanta Donna Luisa is to be married at the same time to the Due de Montpensier, son of the King of the French. Far be it from me to dispute whatever may be her Majesty the Queen of Spain's intention towards her royal sister, but I much regret that it is my duty to ob serve to you that this marriage taking place at the same time as her Majesty Queen Isabella's, as I am informed it is to do, appears to me under all the circumstances of the case, one of the most grave events that can happen in Europe, and that I fear exceedingly may tend very materially to alter the relations of Spain with those powers that have hitherto made it one of the chief ob jects of their policy to maintain the national inde pendence of this country. Ido not make any apology for this note, since you are fully aware that the marriage of the Infanta can in no way be considered a private marriage, and that it is especially regarded an affair of state by the laws of Spain. (S'gned) " H. L. BULWER. " His Excellency F. D. Xavier Isturitz. PROCLAMATIONS Or OUTLAWRY.—Yesterday, at the Court of the Sheriffs of Middlesex, Mr. Hemp, the officer, formally called upon the following persons to surrender to their creditors:—William Mullingar Hig gins, at the suit of Thomas Gray; George Rutherford, at the suit of Samuel Reynolds; William Cunningham Burton, at the suit of Charles Curlewis; J.

CART ACClDENT.—Yesterday an accident of a serious nature occurred to a youth named Edwin Moulder, aged thirteen years, whose friends reside at Brixton. He was riding on the shaft of a cart, and while passing along Larkhall•lane to Forest-hill be fell off, and before the horse could be stopped the near wheel passed over his head, and the horse kicked him on-the base of the skull. He was raised up and carried to the nearest surgeon's, but he remained in an uncon scious state for several hours. He was conveyed to tae accident ward of Guy's Hospital, where he was placed under the care of Mr. Walling, the assistant-surgeon, who ascertained that he had roaeived concussion of the brain and other fearful injuries, which will most probably PrOYe Attttl.

'lns AFGHAN TRIB E S.—The state of ' society in Afghanistan is now, and seems from time immemorial to have been, entirly different from that which prevails in other countries of Asia. In name, the government is monarchical ; but the authority or the monarch, ex • cept in the great towns and throughout the districts im mediately dependent upon them, extends no farther over his subjects than the authority of the first Jamese, extended in Scotland over the clans which occupied the most inaccessible of the Highland districts. Indeed, the Afghans bear, in this respect, , a striking resemblance to the Celtic portions of the population both of Scotland and of Ireland, that they are divided into tribes, clans, and septs, which pay little or no obedience, in the inter nal management of their affairs, to any power except that of custom and of their chiefs. To be sure, there is a point in the spirit of clanship in Afghanistan which acts differently, and on principle too, from its manner of operation either in Scotland or in Ireland. In the latter countries, the head of the tribe used to demand and ob tain the fealty of his clansmen to his person ; in the former this fealty is paid more to the community than to the chief ; and hence it comes to pass that there is much more of individual independence of character among the Afghans than seems to have prevailed among the ancestors of the M'Neils or the O'Connors ; for though there are instances in the history of the Celtic clans of the setting aside by his people of one c hief, and the appointment, on the same authoilty, of another, the proceeding was not only rare in itself; bat seems never to have been resorted to except in the last emergency ; whereas in Afghanistan the practice is of constant oc currence, as often us by the representatives of the prin cipal families the chief is held to be incompetent, or is found guilty of having transgressed those unwritten laws which are understood by all, and by all reverenced and obeyed from one generation to another.—Sale's Brigade in Afghanistan. KILM An N K—TH kl HA nv EST.—The weather for some weeks has been uncommonly fine and favourable for the completion of the harvest. The fields are ge nerally clearned, and the produce of them bulky ; the yield, so far as it has been tried, is not in proportion Some of the new crop has been brought to market, and is selling at Is. 3d. per peck of 7 lbe.—Ayr Observer. OSTEND, SEPT. 13.--Prince Louis Napoleon landed on Saturday, on his way from London, and put up at the Hotel des Baines, where he is to wait till he receives the necessary permission to go to Florence, to receive the fortune left by his fathers GENERAL MEETING. The last general meeting of the Association was held at eight o'clock in the evening, at the Victoria Rooms; Sir R. Murchison, the president, in the chair. The PRESIDENT, on opening the meeting, observed that the parliament of science bad now terminated, and it only remained for them to lay some of the result s which had att e nd e d their proceedings before the British public, in order that all might be able to judge of the merits and value of their association. He would, in the first place, call upon the treasurer to produce his report. Mr. TAYLOR, the treasurer, then read the report, the substance of which we have already published. The total number of tickets issued at the meeting was 843, and the entire amount recceived, including 1001. from Prince Albert, was 8271. 4s. Bd. Colonel SABINE, the general secretary, then read a list of the grants of money voted by the general committee, and which has been already published in our columns. lie added, that among the reports which they required for next year, and which would not involve any outlay of money, would be two on the important subject of earthquakes, and one from Mr. Scott Russell on the science of naval construction, including steam naviga tion. They had also requested Dr. Ewing and Sir James Ross to draw up a plan for a naval expedition for the purpose of investigations to complete our know ledge of tides. The recommendations to the Govern ment were two : one for the publication of the important meteorological (*serrations tsken.by the officers of the trigonometrical survey of Ireland under Captain Lar combe, since 1834, and which were compiled with the greatest care and accuracy of any investigations in the world • the other was for a s urve y o f t h e supposed parallel roads at Glenroy and its vicinity, in the north of Scotland. The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON, after congratulating the association that he could address them as " gentlemen and ladies," for they had that day decided on admitting ladies to the rank of membership, proposed the first re solution, which was a vote of thanks to the mayor, cor poration, and inhabitants of Southampton, for the kind manner in which they had received the association. He was sure no stranger there would ever forget the kind ness which they had received from all the inhabitants of the town, and more especially from the excellent chief magistrate. He wished to take that opportunity of can gratulating the association on the meeting which had just terminated, and on the results to science which were likely to arise out of it. There was only one circum stance connected with the present meeting which he could regret, and that was, that he had not seen any philosophers from among their trans-Atlantic brethren among them. This was the more to be regretted from the fact, that at their last meeting they had listened to the eloquence of that friend of civilisation, and of science. and of peace, Mr. Everett. He was sure that great man would give them his hearty good wishes, and would re juice when he heard of the triumphant display made by the association this year.—(Hear, hear.) It was true they had not so large an assemblage as they would have had at Liverpool, or Manchester, or Bristol, or Birming ham, or Glasgow ; but then Southampton, it should be recollected, was a comparatively small town, and the at tendance was certainly greater in proportion to the popu lation than at any of the larger localities they had hi therto visited. He did not mean to cast any slur on those greater towns, but he mentioned the fact as a proof that the association was rising in public estimation, and he was convinced, though when they held their meetings in the smaller towns their disbursements were necessarily larger than their receipts, that still, when they again visited the great leading towns of the kingdom, their previous losses would be more than made up to them.— (Hear, hear.) Their president had, in his opening ad dress, detailed to them some of the advantages which the association had conferred on science and on the com munity, but he was satisfied that, in addition to all this, they did more good than they could be at all aware of; that they lit up the sparks of science in many minds that would hereafter enlighten the world with their brilliancy and splendour. After some further remarks, the Noble Marquis concluded by moving that all the members of the association present, not belonging to Southampton, should join with him in expressing their thanks to the mayor and inhabitants of the town for the kindness which they had shown to them. The motion was re ceived with loud applause. The Mayon returned thanks, and said he was sure his fellow townspeople would unite with him in expressing their gratitude to the great and distinguished men who had honoured them - by coming among them. He con eluded by expressing a hope that the meeting of the British Association in their town would lay the founda tion for the establishment of a local literary society among them, which might hereafter aid in lighting up the spark of science, to which the Noble President of the Royal Society had referred, in the bosoms of some of their fellow-citizens. Professor PHILIPS moved a vote of thanks to the local secretaries and members of the local committee, and passed a high eulogium on their exertions to ensure the comfort and convenience of the association. Dr. CLARKE returned thanks. Sir Join; lIERSCHEL said that however remarkable Britain had made herself in the field of science, she was but one of the nations that were distinguished before mankind in the advancement of civilisation. He felt that he was therefore placed in a situation to which his rhetorical powers were extremely inadequate, in rising to express the feelings not merely of the British Associa tion, but of British civilisation generally, in reference to European science. England was undoubtedly an island, but she refused to be regarded as one in matters of science. A great bridge had been built across the Channel, and there was no longer a separation between her and the continent of Europe. In science thre was but one direction which the needle would take when pointed towards the European continent, and that was towards his esteemed friend Professor Oersted.—(Hear Rad cheers.) He knew not how to speak of him in his presence, without vio lating some of that sanctity by which as an individual he was surrounded. To look at his calm manner, who could think that he wielded such an intense power, ca pable of altering the whole state of science, and almost convulsing the knowledge of the world? He had at this meeting developed to them some of those recondite and remarkable powers which he had been himself the first to discover, and which went almost to the extent of obliging them to alter their views on the most ordinary laws of force and of motion. He elaborated his ideas with slowness and certainty, bringing them forward only after a long lapse of time. How often did he (Sir J. Herschel) wish to heaven that he could trample down and strike for ever to the earth the hasty generalisation which marked the present age, and bring up another and a more safe system of investigation, such as that which marked the inquiries of his friend. It was in the deep recesses, as it were, of a cell, that in the midst of his study a far idea first struck upon the mind of Oer sted. He waited calmly and long for the dawn which at length opened upon him, altering the whole relations of science, and he might say of life, until they knew not where he would lead them to. The electric telegraph and other wonders of modern science were but mere effervescences—the mere scum from the surface of this deep recondite discovery, which Oersted's had liberated, and which was yet to burst with all its mighty force upon the world.—(Cheers.) But with the long list which he bad to get through he would not dilate longer on the great discovery of his esteemed friend. If he were to characterise by any figure the ad vantage of Oersted to science, he would regard him as a fertilising shower descending from heaven, which brought forth a new crop, delightful to the eye and pleasing to the heart. But if he turned on the other hand, he would have to describe a mighty Titan—one who can convulse nature, tear up the rocks, and call the lightning to his aid. When he mentioned the name of Schonbein he surely recalled to them all these ideas.— (Hear, hear.) After proceeding at some length to de scribe in eloquent language the celebrity of the other eminent foreigners present at the meeting, he concluded, amidst loud cheers, by moving the thanks of the meeting to Professor Oersted and the other foreign philosophers who had honoured them by their presence. Mr. M. STIRLING said he thought the term applied by Sir John Herschel to Professor Wheatstone's great discovery—the electric telegraph—of being mere scum and effervescence, was one requiring some explanation. Sir JOHN HERSCHEL said nothing could be further from his mind than to depreciate the important discovery of his friend Professor Wheatstone; but in using what was, perhaps, rather an infelicitous term, he merely wished to compare what had already appeared on the surface from Oersted's discovery, in comparison to the depths which they were yet unable to fathom.—(Hear.) The Rev. Dr. RoniNsort said, before the gentleman, whoever he was, rose in so peremptory a manner, he ought at least to have understood what he was speaking about. No one had a higher esteem for Professor Wheat stone than he had, but yet he had no hesitation in say ing that the discoveries of Professor Wheatstone were but e ff erves cences of that fermentation which the dis coveries of Oersted were raising in the minds of men. vv Some interruption for a time of rather an angry kind ensued, after which the resolution was carried amidst loud cheers. — Professor OERSTED said he was quite overpowered at all the praise which that distinguished gentleman, Sir John Herschel, had heaped upon him, and he regretted that his command of the English language was not suffi cient to enable him to express his feelings as he would wish. There was no country had more reason to love science than England. Her great men were too nume rous to be enumerated, but the name of Newton was perhaps sufficient to mention.—(Hear, hear.) Science was power, and much of the vast power of England had certainly been derived from the scientific pursuits of her great men. He felt the liveliest gratification on coming amongst them on this occasion, and he was sure all the foreigners around him were actuated by the same emotions. The PRESIDENT begged to remind the meeting that, at that association, which might be called the parlia ment of the science of England, there had been assem bled one time or tinother every rasa who w Sum added to Policy. £ 5000 .• • • • • •• ..6 years 10 months... ..... £683 6s. 5000• ..... •.6 years ........ 600 Os. 5000........• • 4 years ........ 400 Os. 5000......•• •• 2 years •.•....• 200 Os.
