This week's arrival of English Wheat, coastwise, has amounted to 2,410 quarters, almost wholly from Essex and Kent, and in very moderate condition. Fresh up today, the receipts by land carriage were very limited, hence the show of samples of both red and white was small. The few old qualities on offer were mostly dis - Posed o f at full prices, but new parcels were much neglected, and the most inferior red sold as low as 32s r quarter. For forward delivery, no transactions took )14 e e. Upward s o f 23,000 quarters of foreign Wheat g come in, t h a t gra in met a very dull inquiry, and low qualities were offering on somewhat easier te rms. Floating cargoes commanded very little attention. Malting Barley was vary scarce, and quite as dear. ce, Grinding and distilling sorts commanded very little !aoti yet importers refused to accept lower rates. We h ad a slow sale for Malt, at Monday's figures. The ar- I lv als of h ome - grown Oats were small—those of Foreig n 32,980 quarters. A fair averego business was transacted in them, at previous currencies. Beaus and Pe as were quite as dear, but Indian Corn and Flour Were very dull. ARRIVALS THIS WEER Wheat. Barley. Malt. i Oats.

Fortunatay the mains of the Eat Loudon Company 3ichled an abundant supply of water, from which the firemen set their engines to work under the direction of Messrs. Fogo, Connorton, and Overton, but in spite of which the wcrk of destruc tiveness continued, and eventually the roof and floors of the large house fell, and consequently the costly stock in trade fell along with them. The loss, it is expected, will exceed 20,0001.; and unfortunately the firm was insured for only 6 0001. The origin of the misfortune is enveloped in obscurity. THE VAST SCALE of our RAILWAY SYSTEM. Apart from its higher developments, a very few gross facts will show the position of the railway system in our country. It appears that up to the end of 1850 railway companies had raised a sum equal to 240 k millions sterling, and retained powers to raise a further sum of 1221 millions. In June, 1851, the number of persons employed on railways open for traffic was 63,500, and on those in course at construction 43,000. In the United Kingdom, 85i millions of persons travelled by railways in 1851, nod paid eight millions sterling for doing so; while, for the transport of goods, seven other millions were paid, according to the official report of Captain Simmons, recently published. Look, too, at the Railway Clearing house, which may be described as representing all the railways in account with any individual line, and which has become a matter of enormous magnitude, with a business of the most elaborate character. About fifty companies are associated in this system, of which the public know nothing, though they owe to it facilities of the greatest value and importance. The in creasing amount and difficulty of the business transacted here, in settling the proportions to bo paid and received by different lines in respect of the travellers and goods passing over more than one, will ultimately lead to amal- gamation in one shape or other, even if other circum stances did not tend the same way. The public will have to protect themselves when this approaches. The companies, if they are wise, will make the present des potism so light that it may not be felt. Should they pursue an opposite policy, we may prognosticate, with out fear of failure, the ultimate assumption of all the lines by the State.—Builder. CRICKET. ELEVEN OF ENGLAND V. TWENTY-TWO OF BRADFORD AND DISTRICT.—This match was brought to a conclu sion at Bradford on Wednesday, when, to the astonish ment of not a few, it was found that the Eleven were vanquished in one innings by 50 runs, the score pre senting the following appearance: —Bradford, first innings, 180. The Eleven, first innings, 79; second ditto, 60. THE UNITED ELEVEN OF ENGLAND V. FIFTEEN 07 SHEFFIELD.—This match was resumed at Sheffield on Wednesday, and upon being brought to its termination gave the subjoined result, by which it will be seen the "United Eleven" won by eight wickets. Sheffield, first innings, 110; second ditto, 37. United Eleven, first innings, 104; second ditto, 46. The United Eleven won by eight wickets. FATAL EFFECTS OF POACHING.—AEI inquest was held on Monday, by LIZ. M. Wilson Esq., coroner, on the body of Thomas Bungay, of Plaitford. It appeared that the deceased, who was aged 20, went out with a lad three years younger than himself, named John Moore, each armed with a gun, for the purposes of poaching, on Sunday afternoon. Having found a covey of partridges in a field in the occupa tion of Farmer Noble, they marked down a single bird in a hedgerow, and both fired on the bird's rising, John Moore lodging the contents of his gun in his companion's left side. Bungay called out, " John, what did you shoot at me for ?" and upon Moore's replying, " I don't know that I did," Bungay answered, " Yes, you did though," and after walking two or three yards fell down and expired in a few minutes. From the position of the wound it seemed probable that the charge had lodged in his heart. Verdict, " Homicide by misadventure."—Sherborne Journal. BRIGHTON. - Our roadstead on Sunday exhibited a lively and picturesque scene. The Rolla gun-brig, and the Fernande, a beautiful yacht, belonging to Major Martyn, being anchored off the town, nearly all the boats on the beach, especially the row-boats, the sea being almost as placid as a lake, were engaged by parties anxious to visit her. From the shore the small boats near the brig looked like a swarm of bees around a hive. So many boats being engaged was attributable to the influx of excursionists. On Tuesday another yacht, the Violet, belonging to Sir Henry Blake arrived in our roads. She is a smaller craft than Major Martyn's. The brig and yachts sailed westward yes terday morning. It is in contemplation to get (up a Regatta Club in this town ; and to invite the members of the West minster Regatta Club to join them in the formation of October matches, to take place off Brighton. The first meeting is to be held at the Royal Sovereign this evening.— Brighton Gazette of yesterday. THE WEATHER AT GLASGOW.—The weather during the last three days has been warm, drying, and sultry, and all that could be wished for the completion of harvest operations. An immense quantity of victual has been cut over the entire country, and a short continuance of the present splendid weather will enable the husbandman to make it secure.— Glasgow Chronicle. TERMINATION OF THE BUILDERS' STRlKE.—Yes terday the whole of the men, about 150 in number, who were lately out upon strike, returned to their work—their employers, the Messrs. Smith and Pearse, of the Camden Town-road, having, at a meeting of the workmen, on Tues day, given their consent to the four o'clock movement. Yesterday the lien held a meeting at Mr. Cheef's, the Rail way Tavern, Maiden-lane, King's-cross, at which it was stated that numerous other parties were prepared and in tended to follow their example, if their employers refused to comply with their demands ; viz., the concession of the four o'clock movement. A placard was also read, from which it appeared that the whole of the carpenters lately in the em ploy of the Messrs. Edwards, of the Lower-road, Islington, in consequence of their being debarred from leaving off their employ at four o'clock on Saturdays, had refused to work; and it concluded by calling upon their fellow workmen to support them while out of employ. It was stated that nearly the whole of the large master builders of the metro polis and suburbs complied with the request of their work people when it was first mentioned to them. The customary vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. THE LATE MR. ALLEN, THE ARTIST. We are glad to hear that the City of London School has given fifty guineas to the widow and family (eight children) of their late professor of drawing, Mr. J. W. Allen, the well-known landscape painter, whose sudden death on the 29th ult, left them in such a state that it was found necessary to make an appeal to his friends and the admirers of art. The head master, the Rev. Dr. Mortimer, has also given ten guineas, and the other masters have made this sum up to thirty guineas. As 1,0001. would permanently benefit the widow and family of this gifted and truly English artist, a great effort is being made to raise this sum; and we heartily wish well to this proper testimonial to the artist and the man. THE COURT.—We understand th at her Majesty and the Prince Consort were expected t o attend the annual Hi g hland Braemar gathering, which " cam e o ff" yester day. The Earl of Malmesbury, who is the Minister in attendance on the Queen, will be succeeded to-morrow, it is expected, by the Noble Premier. The Viscountess Can ning, who has arrived at Fort William, Inverness, will go into waiting on the Queen on the 27th instant. A detach ment of the 42d Highlanders, commanded by Captain Camp bell, is stationed at Ballater as a guard of honour during her Majesty's stay. The infant Prince Arthur and the princess Louisa remain at Osbor ne until the retu r n of their illustrious parents, in charge of Lady Caroline Barrington. THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—The day fi xe d for the opening of this railway is Friday, the 17th instant, and not Thursday, the 16th, as has been stated by mi s _ take in several journals. The directors will arr i ve at Swansea, on the 15th. Great preparations are being made for the occasion. -- A great scarcity of silver continues to be felt in bianyrttshoef emigrantsnt h o r e t north the o h u t a n hy t e r ye demands b , e e a n nd l a r i g n o enr consequencepartf o s f bo t em h ee met f s e sums m b the y s m h t a a o k h s e k t n s p the supplies from the Mint. ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The monthly meeting of this society was held at their rooms, 17, Old Bond-street, on the sth instant, J. 9. Westwood, Esq. , F.L.S. president ' in the chair. The ord inar y dona tions of books , &c., were ann ounced, and thanks ordered to be given to the respective donors. The specimens exhibited on this occasion were so varied and numerous that we can find space only to mention the most remarkable of them. Mr. F. Bond showed a box of Coleoptera, from the Mandarra River, New South Wale s , 400 miles north of Sy dne y , containining various new forms including a curious cylindrical-shaped Scarites. Mr. S. Stevens exhibited some fine specimens of the sexes of Calli thea Sapphira, which had been bred by Mr.. H. W. Bates in the Brazils. The larva and pupa of this insect had also arrived in this country. Mr. Curtis called the attention of the members to a specimen of Sphinx Antseus, which had been bred in the gardens of the Hort i cultural Society at Chiswick from a box of plants from the Pitchlake, Trinidad, and remarked upon the caution with which we should look upon all extraordinary insects which have appeared in this country at various times, as doubtless many such, like the present, are only imported species, and alluded specially to those which have been taken at lighthouses. Mr. Edwin Shepherd exhibited a very fine specimen of Chilo cicatricel lus, new to the British lists, taken last month on the cliff near Dover, along with two new species of Tortrices, from the same locality. ROYAL ORTHOYMDIC HOSPITAL, BLOOMSBURY sQUARE.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the committee of this charity was held in Bloomsbury-square. It was stated by the chairman that in consequence of the number of severe cases on the books, waiting their turn of admission for indoor treatment, a special appeal had been issued in behalf of the building fund with the view of extending the accommo dation of the hospital. There were no less than 300 cases too severe in their nature to admit of out-door treatment, and as the majority were growing more difficult, if not dan gerous, by delay, the committee were anxious to provide for their accommodation as soon as the funds would allow them increase the number of beds.

The Atoniteur contains a decree from the PRrs DENT of the Republic, and countersigned by M. DE MA - urA:, the Minister of Police, declaring the Paris journal the Corsaire to be suspended. The decree is dated the Bth instant, and has been issued, it is be lieved, in consequence of a strong Legitimist article which the above-named journal published in its num ber of that day. " According to intelligence," says the Moniteur, "received from the Governor of Guadaloupe to the 13th of August, the sort of effervescence which had manifested itself amongst the parties which divide the colony had altogether subsided. The country en joyed perfect tranquillity." Each of the Ministers in turn is, says the Patric, to accompany the PRINCE PRESIDENT for a certain distance in his journey to the south. The Minister of Marine is to leave Paris on Sunday next for Cherbourg to attend the launch of the ship of the line the Austerlitz on the 15th. The Slide has an article on the subject of the dimi nution of the interest on Treasury Bills and the pay ment of the twenty-five millions remaining due to the Bank of France. It merely proposes to treat it as a matter of business, nothing more. Looking, then, at the affair in a business point of view, it observes that the State cannot, like a private individual, come in for a legacy or find itself enriched by a sudden stroke of fortune. Consequently, the 700 millions floating debt which had been ascertained and certified a couple of months ago remains where it was ; still it is happy to admit that taxes are more easily paid. The re duction of interest must then be taken as a sign of an excellent financial position, but of one which is tending towards a good position. If the hands of the Treasury be so full as that it can make its own terms, the reason, according to this paper, is that capitalists, unwilling to engage in speculations of long date and subject to the risks of the future, are but too glad to invest their money in Treasury Bills, which are of short date and easily negotiable, and in this way the whole mystery is explained. This abundance of money, proceeding as it does from the savings-banks' deposits and other investments, will not relieve the Government from the necessity of diminishing public expenditure by bringing it down to an equality with income, and it joins in the pretty general cry for the reduction of the army. The Moniteur announces that the Haitian Go vernment has paid 18,000 piastres (95,000 francs) to the Consul-General of France in satisfaction of cer tain demands which the French Government had made on it for losses sustained, and for indemnities due to French citizens. The Bulletin des Lois publishes a decree from the PRESIDENT of the Republic, opening an extraordinary credit of 150,000 f. to the Minister of the Interior, to be employed in the purchase of the materiel necessary for public fetes. This credit is granted on the ground that the present supply is quite inadequate and unfit for use. The Marquis DE LAROCHEJAQUELEIN has addressed a letter to the Assemblie Nationale, which, after de claring that the address of the Council-General of the Deux- Sévres, which had been attributed to him by that journal, was proposed by General ALLARD, and signed by all the members present, proceeds as follows : " Prince Louis Napoleon, in doing me the honour to name me President, was well aware that I would never repudiate my principles; he was aware also that I had protested against the coup d'etat of December 2. I had, in fact, told him so myself. Since that period, I, like many others of my colleagues, was enabled to appreciate events and the situation of France; I had seen men and political parties closely enough to be convinced that, if the coup d'etat of December 2 had not taken place, I certainly should not have had the satisfaction of witness ing the triumph of my own opinions, but that we should have inevitably fallen into the hands of a faction, red or blue, which would have given us a regime of which I cannot say that I should have in the slightest degree to acknowledge the mildness. I did not desire to see the present Government, but it has the double merit in my eyes, first of preventing others from appearing which I should have infinitely less desired to see; and next, of having its basis on the national will, of appealing to all the men of worth, who are willing to give their loyal and disinterested co-operation to the service of their country, without asking for any renunciation of their principles. Ido not think that Louis Napoleon would think himself honoured by the support of apostates." The Presse says— " The household of the Prince President of the Re public is at present boing completed by the engagement of numerous domestics; but they are not to commence their service until the return from the journey to the southern departments. All the persona whom the Prince President employs have belonged to the corps d'aite of the army, and especially to the carbineers." We read in a Paris letter in a Belgian journal— " I have before me a list of pardoned political offenders, who owe their liberty to M. Belmontet, deputy of the Lot-et-Garonne, under the most touching circumstances. M. Belmontet, whose fete was on the 25th ult., as his name is Louis, dined on that day with the Prince, whose, oldest friend he is, and who formerly used to offer hini a bouquet. Well, Belmontet,' said the Prince at the dessert what can I give you this year ?" Some pardons, Monseigneur !' answered the poet. Hum ! pardons !' said Louis Napoleon ; but the persons whom I pardon treat me so prettily !' I answer, Monseigneur, for those whom I should have the honour to propose to you.' Well, let us see your list.' Here it is, Mon seigneur.' The Prince read Constant, ex-avoue, of Castel Sarazin ; Berger, clerk to an avoue of the same place ; the brothers Delbert, tradesmen, of Moissao ; Lambert and Courtis, workmen of the same place. But that only makes six names !' remarked the Prince. Oh, Monseigneur, I have others 1' and he read, Leygne, workman, of Castel Sarazin ; Vidaloque, apo thecary, of Agen; Talons, maker of sabots, at Toulouse; Floret, relative of the prefect of that name ; Manna, advocate, of Moissao'—and four others whose names 1 forget. ' Well said the Prince, ' give that to Roguet.' By this time fifteen proteges of M. Belmontet have been restored to their families, without conditions and without restrictions." Government securities were more firm at the Bourse.

GERMAN Y. The new loan ofeighty millions of florins has been announced, and favourably received on the Vienna Bourse. The decree announces that of the produce of the new loan twenty million s shall b e applied to railways, twenty-five millio ns to the si nking of paper money, fifteen millions to the partial repay ment to the Bank of its credit at the charge of the State. The postponement of the treaty between Belgium and the Zollverein has been accorded to the 24th of December next, on the request of the Belgian Go vernment. The Hamburyh Correspondent of the 6th says— "On Friday last the editor of the Reform, a local journal, was summoned to the Town-hall, where the magistrates informed him that he would not be allowed in future to make allusions to Prince Louis NAPOLEON and his Government. The Reform bad published an article on the ball at the Halle in Paris, and it had been formally complained of by the Minister of France to the Senate." The New Prussian Gazette of Berlin was seized on the 6th for an article criticising in very severe terms the policy of the Government. A letter from Berlin states that a prolongation of the treaty between Belgium and the Zolverein, has been granted to the 24th of December next, at the express request of the Belgian Government. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Ber lin, dated the 6th :—" A Catholic priest, named BRINDIN, from Greece, who has been here some time collecting subscriptions for the Catholic communes i n Greece, has been ordered to quit Berlin. This ex pulsion, the motives for which are not stated, has caused great sensation." The Prince Regent of BADEN left Carlsruhe on the 7th for Vienna, instead of waiting, as had been announced, to visit the Emperor of AUSTRIA in Hungary. SWITZERLAND. The Federal Council of Switzerland has resolved to inform the States composing the German and Aus trian postal union, that the question of the definiti ve adoption of the convention entered into with them, shall sse m b b e l y, w discussed h which is to o i n the nextoo3mn session o o o o n the f the Fed era l Assembly, 10th j a. nuary, 1853. Nevertheless, the Federal Council has determined to propose t hat the said convention shall come into operation, if possible, from the let October, under certain conditions. The Zurich Gazette giv es an account of the won derful ca l c ulating powers of a blind youth named WINKLER, brought up at the blind school of Unter stress. He lately gave a public exhibition of his peculiar talent, extracting square and cubic roots to the extent of fi ve decimals with t he g reatest ra p idit y and corr ec t ness .

He afterwards commenced the figures at the other end, and repeated them with perfect correctness. FRIDAY AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF 1 1 11 E FRANKLIN. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 9.—The United States' mail steam-a Lip Franklin, Captain J. A. Wotton, arrived off Cowes this morning, and after landing the English mails and passengers proceeded on her voyage to llavre. The Franklin has 115 passengers, 13 only of whom were for England, and on freight spe c i e value 451,500 dolls., of which 101,500/. is f o r L ondon, the remainder being for France. The f re i g h t list also comprises 600 b oxes of Indiapbber shoes an d sundry merchandise. This steamer h as experienced moderate easterly winds during th e w h ole passage. Oni the Bthnst. she passed the b arque Peningham, bound east. The steamship Asia arrived out at New York on the 25th ult. The advices by the Franklin, which extend to the 28th ult. inclusive, contain three days' later intelli gence than that received by the last Liverpool packet. The news is quite unimportant, and nothing further had transpired officially with reference ' to the fisheries dispute or the Lobos Itland s difficulty. The Journal of Commerce on the latter question yubiishea the subjoined remarks : " The 20 or 25 vessels which have left this country to load guano at the outer Lobos Islands can hardly be ex pected to come back empty. They will get guano some how, we imagine; it may b e b y force, or i t may b e by purchase. It the former, it will be at the cost of blood, and may lead to serious differences between the two Go vernments; and in either case it will beget a competition for the sale of the manure between the owners of these cargoes when they arrive here and the agents or the Pe ruvian Government, which will be disadvantageous to the latter, however advantageous to consumers. To disentangle the subject of these difficulties, would it not be well for the Peruvian Government to purchase the charters of said ships, if it can be done on reasonable terms, as wo rather suppose it can, and then load them with guano on its ow n account, and consign them to its agents in this country? At the same time it should re duce the price of the article to a reasonable figure, which would be as advantageou s to its own revenue as to the consumers. The costliness of the article will prevent an extensive use of it in the United States, unless abated; whereas, if it were offered at prices for which it can be afforded, and yet leave a handsome revenue for the Peruvian Treasury, the c onsumption here would be quadrupled in a year, and quadrupled again in two or three years more. The ef fect would be to give to that Government a much larger revenue in the aggregate than it receives at present, whil e at the same time the cupidity both of individuals and nations would be less tempted to insist upon doubtful rights for the sake of obtaining the article gratuitously. " If Peru can quash the American claim, or secure an abandonment of it, by some concessions of this sort, so far as Lobos Afuera are concerned (no other islands are in dispute), she will find it much more economical on the whole than to maintain the force which will be necessary to prevent guano from being carried off by private ad venturers under a state of things like the present, and also more economical than t o get into a quarrel with the American Government. "We look upon this Lobos question as one of the many about which a good deal can be said on both sides. That much can be said in favour of the American claim 1 Mr. Webster has shown in his letter of the 21st instant to the Peruvian Minister. That much also can be said om co ivs i n ee p ru rorai b se u . y in favour of the Peruvian claim is shown by the docu ments recently published in England , and partly trans ferred to our columns, in connexion with a communi cation from Mr. Riley, who, we believ e is agent of the the case is really a doubtful one, if there are evidences Peruvian Government for the sale of title more or less satisfactory of guano. Now, if on both sides, it is clearly one of thoso cases which ought to be settled vessels already departed for Lobos and compromise, e nts ,w e conceive, aretthehe furnished at said islands to American properindicated dal re m taetr u es t basesduo mutual l Aa mh of oevrei c concessiona n a vi z c . o , arrangement be entered into ton, the price being much below by which hereafter the article between , sa a tht n has d el ol t wm t b h oeu e that now charged at the inner Lobos Island. Whether the vessels of other nations shall be furnished at the same rate is an affair between those nations and the c li G hf uolrvenet per Peruvian Government, and therefore we need not med dle with it. 6 , Under such an arrangement Peru and her agents would still retain a monopoly of the guano trade, but under certain restrictions as it respects the deposits at the outer Lobos. She could still collect a revenue from the article, even greater than at present, on account of the greater quantity sent to market; and, if it suited her in terests best, she might close the inner Lobos to com merce until the deposits on the outer Lobos were ex hausted, if they ever should be. " We throw out these remarks for the benefit of those whom it may concern. The leading idea which we wish to convey is the duty of an amicable adjustment of the question on principles of equity, having refe rence to the degree of title or colour of title, which each nation may be able to present. We take it the United States Government does not wish to engage actively in this business, but only that those wonderful deposits so lon g reserved for the refreshment of worn-out or poor lands may be placed within the reach of our farmers and shippers on reasonable terms. The title of Peru to Lobos Afuera must be very perfect indeed to justify her in locking up for ages and generations those elements of vegetation which are required for the sustenanc e of man and beast in various parts of the earth, and which, while locked up, can be of no possible use to Peru or any other nation. We think the American title is at least suffi ciently good to neutralise any right which Peru may imagine herself to possess, thus to lock up in perpetuity or for an indefinite period, treasures deposited by sea birds on barren rooks in the wide o c ean—which trea sures are now, and will continue to be required for the sustenance of man. But, if she i s disposed to recede from her miserly attitude in reference to these deposits, we trust she will be met by our Government in a liberal spirit. If she will open them to commerce on reason able terms, let her have th e sovereignty over t h em , an d the revenue derived from them." Accounts from Boston of the 2Gth ult. mention that the steamer Sir John Harvey had arrived there, had sailed intelligence th at Admiral S eymour sailed for Prince Ed ward ' s Island.

CREMORNE GARDENS. SECOND PARACHUTE ASCENT OF MADAME POP TEVIN.—A like beautiful ascent to that effected on Monday evening was made by the intrepid Madame Poitevin, at half-past six o'clock yesterday evening, from the grounds of Cremorne. The balloon pro ceeded in a westerly direction, and the parachute, be ing detached at an elevation of about three-quarters o f a mile, descended gradually and securely, the fair voyager reaching terra firma in Richmond-park, where the balloon shortly after landed. Madame Poitevin returned to the gardens a little after eight o'clock, and was led on the stage of the theatre by Mr. Simpson, just before the termination of the ballet, her reception by the dense mass of spectators being of the most enthusiastic nature. On Monday, we understand, the immense balloon, termed a Railway Balloon, will ascend, affording an opportunity for a party of persons to witness the descent from the car. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. BELFAST, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.--The meeting of the association at Belfast terminated today with the general meeting, which was held in Dr. Cooke's church. The General Secretary read the resolutions that had been agreed to by the general committee to be confirmed by the meeting. These resolutions referred to the election of Mr. Hopkins as president of the next union at Hull, and to the grants and recommendations proposed. The total of money grants recommended amounts to 3.551., of which sum 2001. is appropriated for the maintenance of the Kew Observatory. The re • mainder is to be appropriated in small sums, principally for the prosecution of investigations already com menced. Among the grants for purposes of most general interest was 20!. to Dr. Hodges for the continuation of his researches regarding the properties of flax. A grant of 10/. was also recommended for dredging the north-eastern coast of Ireland. The question of the establishment of an observatory in the southern hemisphere is again to be pressed on the notice of the Government at the recommendation of the Association. The Assistant-General Secretary made a statement of the numbers of members and associates who have attended the present meeting, as compared with the numbers at Ipswich. The total amount received for tickets at B e lf as t h as b een 1 , 106 1 .; a t Ip swic h it was 7111. The number of associates at Belfast has been 510, and of ladies 29 9 ; the respective numbers at Ipswich were 246 and 141. It will be seen, there fore, that, financially speaking, at least, the meeting at Belfast has been very successful. The Rev. D r . R o bi nson, at the reques t o f th e president, undertook to notice the subjects which had been brought forward in the various sections which he had attended that he considered of most import ance. This he did in an address that occupied an hour and a half. Th ere was on l y one o f th e su b jec t s , he said, that ;had occasioned him any pain, and that was a paper relating to the sanitary statistics of Bel fast, which presented a lamentable want of attention to drainage and atmospheric purity. Dr. Robinson strongly impressed on the influential inhabitants of Belfast the importance of attending to this subject. The impurity of the atmosphere in Belfast is indeed most strongly manifest to the senses. A large stream into which the sewerage is emptied winds about in various directions through the town, emitting in its course, and to a great distance around, a pestilential effluvium. Attempts have been made to cover-in this open drain, and Acts of Parliament have been obtained for the purpose, but, owing to some disagreement among the parties the nuisance continues, and it is said it will continue until another Act is p rocured. Dr. Ro b inson, i n th e conclusion of his address, said that in his opinion, and in that of the oldest members of the Association, the present had been the best meeting they had ever held, both as regarded the subjects brought forward in the sec tions and the interest they had excited in the mem ber attending. After thanks had been given to the President and to the local authorities and others who had contributed to the reception of the Association, the meeting separated. The excursions appointed for to-morrow are va rious. The most important is that to the Giant's Causeway, the harbour commissioners having placed a steam-boat at the disposal of the association for the accommodation of 100 members, strangers :to Bel fast, gratuitously. Other excursions comprise drives to the many places in the neighbourhood which pos sess either geolo g i ca l, or ant i quar i an, or p ic torial interest. The business of the association has, how ever, terminated with the meeting held this afternoon, and the return t o th e or i g i na l or d er o f pr o ceedings, of making the excursions on an extra day, has not been generally approved. DEATH OF PROFESSOR MACGILLIVRAY, ABER DIEN. —We learn that Dr. W. Macgillivray , Professor of Natural History in Marischal College, Aberdeen, expired at his own hous e the r e, on Sabbath last, after an illness of some duration. Dr. Macgillirray wus the author of many works on the above department of natural science, abteedsidite.s He was bio graphies of men who had succes sfull y an ardent and enthusiastic student ofY cultivated nature as well as of books, and this probably has tened the event which the scien tific world has now to deplore. The Crown has the patron age of the chair. THE LATH WATERSPOUT AT HIGHAM.—DUTing the past week the neighbourhood of Higham has been visited by man y persons, all anxious to witness th e devas tating effects of the recent sudden inundation. On a more minute examination of the locality, we find that the injury sustained by the agriculturists and market gardeners has been greater than was at first supposed. No less than 100 loads of the soil from the gardens lying on the side of tne hill have been washed down on to the paddock of Mr. J. Ilulkes, at the Hermitage, while hundreds of cabbages and a consi derable breadth of potatoes have also been carried away. The fruit, too, beaten from the trees, lies mingled in the ge neral mass—more particularly the apples, the crop of which has in a great measure suffered. The high rcad also came in for a share of its destructive effects more par ti c ularly th e footpath, which for a con s id era bl e di stance was furrowed aa! if a plough had been driven along its course.

No. CCCIII. THE DONCAsTER MEETING. TO THE rlizroß OF THE SUN. ISIR, —Doncaster—the greatest meeting in tho north, and the first in England in the opinion of the sporting inhabitants of the county of York—will be the great centre of attraction to the Turfite for four days of next week. The meeting this year is under the stewardship of Lord Ribblesdale Mr. Lumley, and the Earl of Derby ; th e l as t-named, I understand, has signified his intention of being present, having engaged rooms for the week. The bill of fare this year is equal, in amount of sport, to any, and much better than most, of its predecessors. This is owing in a groat measure to the active exertions of Mr. Johnson, the indefatigable clerk of the course at York and Doncaster. The first day's list comprises five races: the second, five stakes and a match: the third, six races: and ti e last, eight stakes and a couple of matches; one of the letter, however, has the words "no day mentiorpo" affixed to it. The sport co mmences on Tuesday, as usua l , w i t h t h e Fitz withal"' Handicap Stakes of 5 sows. eacn, with 50 added,for . al 1 ages, cne m il e, to close and name on Monday. Then follows the Champagne Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h ft; colts Bst 71b, end fillies Bst 51b. Red Howe in; five furlongs 125 yards. T h i s sta k e has obtained thirty-one entries, o f w hi c h not more than five, or six at the outside, will be found at the post. The field most probably will be composed of The Friar, the Reiver, Vindex, Cumlit, and anoth er or two. Th is race will, no doubt, be a highly interesting one, on ac count of the antagonism of the unbeat en V index and Reiver. The Friar, though fancied by his ow ner , i s not likely to be backed by anybody . else, a n d can have no reasonable chance of beating either of the cracks. Lord Zetland's Comfit will run well, but cannot in this pre sence win. The previous performances of Vi n d ex, three in number, have stamped him with a first-class charac ter. At Newcastle, with the odds on Lord Fauconberg, he won the Produce Stakes with great ease, beating the favourite by two lengths, and nearly half distance Ax well- On the following day, carrying 6st 121 b, he won the Grand Stand Stakes, beating Anteverta, 6st 91b, by a neck; Lainbton losing the second place by ahead. The Hecate colt and Roger Thornton were beaten a hundred yard s . T h i s performance does not l oo k qu i te so well a s t h e first,may r' as it be said he only won after a sharp set-t o; be, however, to my knowledge, had pounds to spare; and being on the muzzle two days in succession, is good enough reason. without any ether, why his ru nning this d a y s h ou ld no t be closely inquired into. Hi s last appearance was at York, where be won the Colt Sapling Stakes in the most dashi ng style imaginable, beating Eulogist, Mr. Sykes, Alocassin Pitfall, and Youthful-days. The victory was accomplished ' by two lengths,. but might . have been a dozen without much exertion upon his part. The ring had the temerity to already e a a n d y e essay appeared t i h n i s lay sto 4 against him. For this race he must finish first public s ta) thrice, He, e or second. The renowned Reiver will make his last n this dex e h a a r s , p liee e n a r n a t on appearance his debut taking place at Ascot, where he won the Fourth Triennial Produce Stakes by a h ead from rth Ched dar; beating also Auld Acqu a i n t ance and Warwhoop, who were close up ; and V eteran and the Cuckoo filly, who were a long way behind Some people assert, that had n o t C heddar swerved at the finish, he must have won. I dissent from this opinion, and think, with many others, that the closeness of the race was owing to the orders whi c h Whitehouse received concerning the Reiver. The Reiver next ran at Newmarket, where he frightened all out of the field for the July Stakes, except Dove, Amason, and Blue John, whom he, however, beat very easily, as he finished ten lengths ahead of Dove, who was a length in advance of Amazon, and both left Blue John far in the rear. His next appearance was on the following day, when he walked over for the 100 Sus. Sweepstakes. The Reiver's performances, on the whole, do not look quite so rosy as those of Vindex, but the result of the Champagne Stakes will, I think, prove that he is not only equal, but superior, to Vindex. I should place the competitors thus: — THE REIVER ,„ 1 VINDEX..• 9 ..• - COMFIT ... 3 FRIAR ... 4 The Great Yorkshire Handicap of 25 soya, each, 15 ft, &c., with 100 added; one mile six furlongs and 132 yards; will, not improbably, be contested by Alonzo, Miss Ann, Alp, Scarecrow, The Knight of the Garter, Lerrywhent, Imagination, The Twin, and Infidelity filly. I have already given an analysis of this handicap, and as my opinion still declare my conviction that in the favourite, THE KNIGHT OF THE GARTER, will the victor be found; Scarecrow, Alonzo, and The Alp being his nearest attendants. Lerrywhent is much talked about, and said to be very dangerous. The Twin is reported to be not quite the thing; but whether that refers to health or anything else, 1 think it needless to say.

Ir y con sequence of the Lituncs s of th e seasun, and 4'great Luny of the elite of aquatic sports being out of town, the members did nut engarse an excuision boat. Th or , was a large fleet of yachts, whicia went down the river, ac companying the contending vessels, and which were tilled with the members of toe club and their friends— with the War Hawk, the Vulante (bearing the flag Of the commodore), the Fleur-ile-Lis, the Gwaliur, the Trio, the Waterwitch, the Idas, &c. The folio:ring are the names of the yachts which were entered fur the match:— Tons. Owners. Whisper Thought 25 ... G. Coope, Esq ; Phantom 2O ... S. Lane, Esq.

At twelve o'clock they got under weigh, the wind being fresh fro m the northeast, Th ou ght having got her canvas first set s h e t oo k th e lead, but she was quickly followed by Whisper. She soon weathered her oppo nent. Phantom was close up, and gradually took tho lead after running through Woolwich Reach, and was first to round the boat at Tilbury Fort, which was ac eompliehod ab out three o'clock. The Whisper, in about two minutes and a half, followed; Thought being half a length astern of Whisper. Upon rounding Thought shot ahead to windward of them, and a most interesting struggle ensued. In Long Reach Phantom picked up, and passed to leeward. Thought, however, again got ahead, and the issue was as follows:—Thoughe was five minutes and a half at the starting-place before Phan tom, which was reached at half-past four; and the latter half a minute in advance of Whisper. by Ph antom, which has A protest has been tendered on th e part of the owner twice committee. to of b W e h d i e s c p i e d r e dby h o f be tngefouled SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Poor Hamburgh 1 In the day s of " the holy Roman empire" it had sometime veaa. tious squabbles with " the Emperor," like all the other " free towns." But now it is condemned to speak under the incessant jealous surveillance of no less than three Emperors (of Russia, Austria, and Hayti), with a fourth " looming in the future," as Mr. Disraeli might express himself. Next in rank to the sable Emperor among the new bunters of the press is the illustrious Rsja of Sarawak. Indeed it may be doubted whether injustice is not done to this great man so long as he is not recognised as the great original whom Soulouque is imitating. Ills exploits have been longer reacting our ears than those of others, but then the theatre on which thay are per termed is more remote. The press at Sarawak is as quiet and ins ffensive as a press can be. But in the ,ettlement of Singapore, which has unluckily been formed on the revolutionary model of El , gland, the press is active, and apt to he uncivil. It so happens that one of the Singapore newspapers has been in the habit of calling in question the absolute wi,cloni of the Itsja of Sarawak, and even expr,ssing incredulity on the score of his pure and unmixed philanthropy. Some time ago a gentleman who was (or was supposed by the Raja to be) closely connected with this Jacobi nical newspaper, was appointed to hold a certain office in the law courts of Singapore. As soon as the news reached the Raja, he issued a rescript to the Governor of Singapore to rescind the nomination of the wicked man who had denounced the ruler of Sarawak. The Governor of Singapore had more moral courage than some kings in Europe; he coolly replied that the appointment not having been made by him could not be unmade by him ; and that, more. over, the laws of Singapore did not admit of punish. ing an y man, without trial, on the private exparte statement even of the Raja of Sarawak. The re joinder of the offended dignitary was that he would hound the English and Anglo-Indian Governments upon the disobedient Governor. The contest is an Labuan, of uneq ual one.

And neither of the arbiters—neither the A • nglo-Indian Government nor the Derbyite M . • 4. inisury are under stood to be very friendly to a free press. The rulers of France, Hayti, and Sarawak, each hunts news papers with his own private pack. We now come to a number of gentlemen • who seem disposed to pursue the amusement, as it were, with a subscription pack — the worthy members of what has been called in , Ire land, or at l east i n Ulster, " The Landlord League. ' During the canvass which preceded the late election for the County Down, a resolution wss adopted at a meeting of the Tory leaders, and pu bli s h e d along with the names o f all who adhered to it. This pu bl ication, bi and its bearing on the election, were discuss ed yr. Sharman Crawford in a letter which 3, w i a r s published in the Northerly Whig. In this lette r o _ the. resolution Crawford extended his censure from the term s f on by the to the conduct pursued in the s igned it. He held the canvass ing agents of the partiesthwe resolution responsible for gentlemen who signed athe agents employed in the elect any act committed y had associated themselves to carry. He tion which they warranted in doing so. Electioneering and was perfectly ranizations have not, like railway other politicaliimo g ited responsibility for their members.

Mr. Sharman Crawford did n o t say that Sir Booby This or Sir Blunderhead That was a bad and oppressive landlord; but he said that " the Landlord League," by its agents, was a busing the powers possessed by the landlords, and that every member of it was responsible for such abuse.

To its old enemies the Pope and the Holy Alliance , must now be add e d the -emperor of Hayti and the would be E mperor of Prance, the Raja of Saraw ak and the orange landlords of Ulster. And yet we have no fears for it. For more than two hundred years it has just emerged from one campaign of the kind to get entangled in another; and it has conic victorious out of every one of thChl at last.
