In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in theirseveral healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.

(From the Colombo Observer of May 7, 1846.) In England, as it is pretty generally known, all judges and bar risters, who appear in Court, must be dressed in their robes and wigs. On the first day of term, and on a few other par ticular days, such as the Queen's birth-day, the judges and Queen's counsel wear what is called full-bottomed wigs, which not only cover the head, but extend a considerable distance down the back and upon the chest on either side, leaving scarcely more of the face of the person wearing one of them to be seen than eyes, nose, and mouth, and which produce a very singular effect. The judges and Queen's counsel also wear their full-bottom wigs in the House of Lords (when it sits in its judicial character) and in the Privy Council. But the gentlemen behind the bar, or jollier counsel, as they are termed, have not two sorts of wigs—they wear the one sort always, when in Court. It is an old proverb, that "there is wisdom in the wig ;" and which would almost appear to be considered a reality in England, because as we have said no judge is allowed to sit, nor advocate to plead, unless he is covered with the wig. It is now, we believe, thirty years since a learned gentleman wore the wig in this colony, but Mr. M'Christie, who is an English barrister, and a member of Lincoln's Inn, was on Tuesday last admitted as an advocate to practice in our courts, and on that occasion he afforded to our friends who happened to be in, and in the neighbourhood of the Supreme Court, an opportunity of seeing the gown and wig worn a l'Anglais, as he appeared in them in open court to take the usual oaths and be called. We almost wish it was the custom of our judges and gentle men at the bar to wear the wig also here, for it certainly does impart a dignity and solemnity which they who do not wear it fail to command to the same extent as they who do wear it. It is said that our climate is too warm to admit of its being worn here. That observation was certainly ap plicable to to the old-fashioned wig, which required, on=if dressed, to have smeared over it, every other day, b quarter of a pound of pomatum and half a pound of but the barristers' wigs are now made upon av e r y are r improved horse hair,fior ; e from tli eiro constructedar manufactured a s admit ofevaporation froml ght.. c o ou the head, very light, and require nothing in th e shape o grease or powder to be put upon them on being dressed. r It t being ais gratifying cl to hear of au English p ract i t i oner of cha racter led to our bar. We heartily wish that we bad inducements sufficient for a few more of our learned friends from home to come amongst us ; if we had, probably many of the complaints that daily reach us of the practices at the bar, and which are unheard of in England, would soon likewise cease to be heard by us. For instance, no gen tleman at home could be allowed to hold such offices as our district judges hold, or even those of stipendiary magistrates, without having been previously and for years regularly edu cated for the bar, and in practice at the bar. But here, many. of our important judicial offices are filled by men who hav e never undergone that preparatory and necessary course of education to qualify them for such offices; and is it to be supposed that those who are put into them, in that un qualified manner, can possibly administer justice, in the satisfactory way which might be looked for, were the selection of our functionaries made either as in Eng land, or from the English bar. We very much regret that we have not greater encouragement to hold out to English barristers to make the required sacrifices they would have to make in coming to reside here ; and we much regret also to have reason to believe that Mr. M'Cliristie has not come among us with a view permanently to remain here, but that he intends to return to London as soon as an important legal question has been decided in this colony, upon which he has been specially sent out by the plaintiffs at home. We have heard that his acquirements are very varied, that his knowledge of business is extensive, and that he comes to us recommended by persons of the highest distinction in England for his attainments and strictly honourable and upright character. He is likewise known to he one of the most expert, if not the most expert, short-hand writer in London ; and we only express that, which we are sure, many who may have become, or who may yet become acquainted with Mr. M`Christie, will cordially join us in expressing, namely, that he may yet be induced to change his views and to continue with us. ABD-EL •KADER'S LAST MARRIAGE.---A Spaniard who resided some time in the empire of Morocco, where he studied the customs of the Arabs, communicates to the Clamor Public° (Madrid paper) the following details respecting Abd el-Kader's marriage with his last wife, Lella Beira. As it constantly happens in similar circumstances, their first inter view took place near a fountain. Such is the spot in which the destiny of women is most commonly settled among the Arabs. This meeting preyed fatal to a man who wit aessed it, and was killed in consequence by Abd-el-Bader. Abd-el. Kader's father, gave his son a large sum of money eight days before his marriage, and promised another of the same amount, which he engaged to pay to his wife in case of her husband's death or of a divorce. It was likewise agreed that the bride should be presented with brace lets, ear-rings,and two kolkal (two large rings). Besides her portion, Sid-Aly-Ben-Taleb (Keira's father) presented to his daughter a looking-glass and a negro woman. The three months preceding the wedding were spent in prayer by the bridegroom. When his bride entered Abd-el-Rader's tent he embraced her and said," Tel coup del baraka at shed ;" "Wel come thou who bringest me peace and happiness." The clay after his nuptials he stole away f r om his tent, ancl o reralAea absent three days, as is the custom amongst t?soA3ra a ps. n t the Mr. Archibald Boyd transacted baw l cOlon33§l-9)5C0 921 giIMrCIST* and after guiding the vessel safely through all dangers, tame alongside the pilot vessel, which was moored about quarter of a mile from Bridle. Hailing the pilot vessel in true nautical fashion, with a force of lungs only to be equalled by the stentorian powers of Captain Askew, who had occasionally enlivened the company during the night with a miscellany of nautical jokes, the first indication of anything living being on board the t rilot vessel, was four or five sailors suddenly springing up from the bulwarks, succeeded by a figure dressed in white, which flitted to and fro, and which proved to be the long-wished-for pilot, who had just "turned out." We shall not stop, of course, to report the "salutations" which passed on either side in English ind Dutch, or rather, we should say, salutations which were exchanged in a sort of nondescript language, though from the tones of voice, the meanings of the re spective parties were perfectly intelligible even to lands men. In the midst of the jargon, a boat was lowered trom the pilot vessel, and into this the pilot precipitated himself, his jacket and other portions of his attire being very considerately thrown after him by the crew. Having about half made his toilet, the pilot boarded the Orwell, where he was soundly reprimanded for his neglect, and reminded that intimation some days before had been torvvarded of the hour at which the Orwell would arrive. The fellow, who was a little round fat plump man, of the Rip Van Winkle school, with a merry twinkle ,)f the eye, and altogether, indeed, the very impersona tion of good-humour, apologised, as far as he was able, for his neglect, alleging, in extenuation, that he had been beating about all night in the ()fling, and not meeting with any vessel, had concluded that none would arrive, and consequently had sailed back to the spot where he was discovered, and had " turned in" to rest himself after his fatigues. The pilot, who was received m board at half-past five, conducted the Orwell to the Bridle, where she arrived at ten minutes to six. Here she was boarded by the Custom-house officers, the head dicial entering tlae saloon, and without ceremony or lering one of the tables to be cleared of the breakfast ap pendages, that be might the better be enabled to take an inventory of the stores. In this office he displayed all the gravity of a Dutch burgomaster, with the most im pe turbab!e want of feeling for the comfort of the passen gers, who were anxious to arrive at their destination. These preliminaries having been at length got through, •he Orwell again proceeded on her voyage at ten minutes to ssven, and with the English and Dutch colours flying, was off the wharf opposite the Hotel de Pays Bas pre cisely at ten minutes to eight, announcing her arrival by the report of a small cannon. Though the passage was a rough cue, it is only right to state that the whole of the passengers landed in the highest spirits. To Capt. Bukhara they expressed themselves highly delighted with the seaman-like man ner in which he had conducted his craft, not only in the earlier but in the latter part of the voyage. There can be little doubt that, the Orwell would have made the passage in less than 12 hours, but for the heavy seas she had to encounter, which sadly retarded her progress, as well as the detention she experienced from the want of a pilot, together with the ordeal she had to undergo from the Custom-house officers at Bridle. As it was, with all these disadvantages, she accomplished her voyage within fourteen hours—a fact that reflects the highest credit upon the skill and enterprise exhibited by Ipswich in steam navigation. It is unnecessary for us to enter into any description of either the Meuse or of Rotterdam. Steam navigation have brought them into such close contiguity with Eng land, that all such descriptions would be superfluous. The company upon landing was, as usual, beset by touters from the river hotels, the Hotel do Pays Bas, and the Bath Hotel. A skirmish ensued between the respec tive rivals for the luggage, and one or two blows were exchanged, to the infinite amusement of some of the Dutch denizens who, smoking their meerschaunzs, wit nessed the contest. The skirmish was, however, soon put an end to by a posse of Custom-house officers, who took possession of the whole of the portmanteaus and carpet-bags, which were laid under strict surveillance, and half-an-hour elapsed before they were restored to the owners, which was done only upon payment of a fee of fourpence from each owner. In the course of the day various parties, escorted by Commissionaires, inspected various localities ; at four o'clock, p.m. excellent dinners were served u p a t the rival Inn s , the company drinking the healths of our gracious Queen Victoria, and the King of Holland. Soon after the arrival of the steamer at Rotterdam, Alr. Arthur Cobbold, and a party proceeded to the Hague, taking with them copies of The Sun, and other London Evening Papers of the date of the departure from Ipswich. These it was expected would be read in Amsterdam in the course of the day, thus proclaim ing through Holland the advantages of Harwich Har bour, as the point on the English coast from whence the route to Northern Europe may be most expeditiously performed. At sh. lOm. A.M., on Thursday morning, the Orwell left the. quay at Rotterdam, on her return voyage. The usual delay took place at Brielle, and at about a quarter past eight the Bridle pilot was dismissed, and the steamer stood out to sea. There was every prospect of a rough voyage, the wind blowing strong from W.S.W., with a terrible sea. The landsmen suffered accordingly; the vessel, however, gallantly held her course. At 2h. 25m. P.m., a steamer, with all sail set, was descried, bearing S.E. by E., about three miles distant, and steer ing S.E. by E. This was supposed to be the Norfolk Company's steamer, which had left Yarmouth that morning for Rotterdam. It was calculated that the Orwell was then from 55 to GO miles from Bridle, and that the steamer in the distance would not make that point in less than .5i or 6 hours. According to this es timate, the Norfolk steamer would not reach Rotterdam before half-past ten. At half-past 4 the English coast was visible, and pre sently the tower of Aldeburgh Church was recognised. The steamer was then directed towards Harwich harbour, in the face of a strong ebb-tide, and entering the Orwell river, arrived at " The Bridge" at a quarter past 10. Here the River Queen steamer was in attendance, and the Ipswich Custom-house officers made the usu a l searc h and took charge of the vessel. The passengers arrived in Ipswich by the River Queen shortly before 12 at night.

ANECDOTE FOR ST. SWITHIN'S. Two worthy gentlemen (so I've heard say), . Convers'd together on St. Swithin's day. Their chit-chat you shall hear; for it discloses Another feather for the cap of MOSES. " I say (said one, respectably attired), Umbrellas will be very soon required; Saint Swithin, with his frequent heavy showers, Will shortly spot and spoil these suits of ours." " Nay (said the other), don't you be alarin'd, You needn't fear the wet, if rightly arm'd ; MOSES and SON, the Tailors, don't forget To make their preparations for . the wet ; And if you visit th it new house of note, • You'll see the new dcsign'd ' St. Swithin's Coat. This over-coat, thonuli light, will keep you dry, And, Sir, you'll be delighted when you try." "No doubt (rejoin'd the other), well done MOSES." And here the friendly conversation closes. But, let us toll you, that the worthy gent. Started for MOSES' New Establishment, And there procured, without the least delay. A summer's over-coat for little pay, Exactly suited to Saint Swithin's day. dlreerieW Work, entitled " Past, Present, and Future," with full w ird for self-measurement, may be had on application, or fbr ons 'fa, "Post Free."

It is universally acknowledged by every one_ of taste, that however beautiful a woman may be, if her hair is deficient either in quantity, quality, or colour, one of her greatest charms is wanting. A complete remedy for all this is to t e found by visiting the establishment of ROSS and SONS, and choosing either Head-dresses that surpass Nature herself, Fronts, Bands, or Ringlets that assist her, or splendid Plaits that, encircling the thin hair, give it all the appear ance of a luxuriant growth. The partings are so admirably con trived that the nearest inspection Is confounded, the transparency of the web admitting the skin of the head to be seen through ; they may be described as being as light as a feather.

C OPY of a LETTER from WILLIAM COURTNEY, Esq. To 31r. Tnomes PaouT, 229, Strand, London Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Rants, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing My astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills fer the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get our of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found In a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use .'ou please of nu report.—Yours. truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COtTATNE Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age,' none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth-ache, &e. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

The as it ; is asserted, with unchecked speed total destruction of th le carriage first struck was the work of a moment, and then ensued a scene that battles description, and . would, indeed, be but too painful if we attempt e d to d ep it it. In the words of one of the witnesses, " Bodies we a.. a lying in all directions, some with legs broken, oth, ni s with ribs fractured, faces horribly cut and d isfigured, feet crushed, and in some instances : half cut off, and others apparently dead." soon as the servants of the company could collect themselves they ren dered the utmost assistr ce to the unfortunate passen gers, Mr. Richardson, tl le station clerk, being particu larly active. It was fou all that between thirty and forty persons h a d b een injured yand anengine was immediately sent off to the terminus at Shoreditch for carriages to remove the sufferers to th a London Hospital. The car riages arrived i n a f ew m i x lutes, arid a surgeon with them, who proceeded to render This professional assistance with the greatest zeal. In a i erry short time all that were in any way injured were t aiken to the London Hospital, with the exception of • e clime who preferred to be sent home. When the alarm had somewhat subsided, it was found that the engine bi ir 'ging the trucks had run into the last carriage in the t passenger train, which was a second-class carriage, an al completely shattered it, and the buffers of a first-cla v.; carriage had forced-them selves into a second-cla - s s carriage, in which several persons had their legs fill.ctured. The concussion was so great as to do cos isiderable damage to every carriage, and scarcely passenger escaped without some injury. Provide anially, no lives were lost ; but we cannot undertal to say that several of the accidents may not yet 'have a fatal termination. As soon as the distressing calamity occurred, information was sent to Mr. Roney, ti ,e secretary, who was at Cam• bridge, by means of thi electric telegraph, and that gentleman, immediately e n receiving the melancholy in telligence, started for St a atford in a special train. Mr. Mosely, the manager of t he traffic, and Mr. Samuel, the resident engineer, in ti le meantime rendered every assistance. Our reporter waited I al) on Mr. Roney, together with the representatives of ( Aber journals, and was received by that gentleman with the greatest courtesy, unlike the generality of the head officials at railways. He ex pressed himself desirous a affording the press every in formation, and for that _purpose he called all the wit nesses of the accident ogether, and permitted them to give, iu detail, what th. fy individually knew of the un fortunate transaction. As the statements m: ad e by the witnesses furnish the only authentic account •of° the affair, we will proceed at once to give them in th Or own words:— Mr. Richardson was tile first person called and ques tioned. He said—l am the station clerk at Stratford. The up train, which lean , s Ipswich at one o'clock, was due a few minutes before four o'clock, but it did not arrive until twenty minutA 35 after its time. We had had a cattle train up from COlchester, which was just cleared off into the sidings, why sr m the passenger train came up. The bell was rung, as is usual, on the arrival or de parture of a train, and I came out of the office on to the platform, and saw the I atisengers getting in and out of the carriages. The trains was about to start for London, and I had ran down the train to find the guard, when, on looking round, I saw tE e engine of a train of trucks coming towards the par Langer train. I then shouted out to the engine driver ,af the passenger train to go on, and ran towards him. As I came up I saw the fireman of the engine falli vg to the ground. I then ran to the carriages to see -what had happened. There was a vacancy between t . tie engine of the trucks train and the passenger trai a. One second-class carriage was lying in ruins on the line. I then commenced picking up those who wet . r injured. I saw a man lying on the platform with his leg nearly cut off ; he was one of our men, and there wt to another of our men with his toe cut off. There were many others lying about, all more or less injured. There were in all between 30 and 40. I should think the greater number injured were those in the last carriago, which had been put on at Romford. The train was: composed of an engine and tender, two horse-boxes, a coach truck, a first-class car riage, several second and third-class carriages, and an other horse-box, a luggage van, and the second-class carriage I have spoken of as being destroyed. I after words went with the one - die to the terminus to obtain some carriages to take the injured parties to the hospi tal and obtain medical aid- The regular signal that a train was then at the statitom, and any . other coming up was to stop, was given. The signal is 300 yards from the station ; it can be seen the same distance on the other side, and, therefore, if the driver of the engine at tended to it, there was time to stop before he got to the station. The signal known as Halle's, or the fan-signal, was down, denoting that there was a train then at the station. Had no obstruction ex. 3 sted the fan would have been up. At that station there is a foreman, porter, a goods man, a signal and point man, an under locomotive fore man, and a lad about eighteen years old, who does errands and other work. At the time the collision took place the signal man was attending to the cattle-train, and the lad, Unwin, had been appointed to watch the signal. I had told the signal man to attend to the cat tle-train, and had sent the lad in his place ; I saw him there, and he never left it till the train from Ipswich arrived, and then he pulled down the fan, the signal for no other train to approach, and left it to attend to the train. The signal is raised by windlass, and therefore could not act of itself. Mr. Kitson, the foreman of the locomotive de partment, said : In consequence of a communication I received, I came on to the platform immediately after the accident, and saw a lady, who was being led away. I found the engine of the passenger train forced ten or fifteen yards from the carriages. As I ran along I saw two persons severely injured : one said his leg was broken. The hindmost second-class carriage was broken all to pieces. After sending to London for carriages, we got the injured passengers into this room as quickly as possible. There were five horses in the boxes, and none of them were injured. A great number of the passengers were very slightly injured, and were enabled to proceed to London. None of these were taken to the hospital. Neither of the engines got off the line. The delay in the arrival of the train was occasioned by its being heavily laden. It was only about seven minutes behind its time. The driver who drove the engine of the train from Romford is now in custody. He says he shut off the steam, and that the signal was wrong, that it was up instead of down. Ilis name is William Clare ; the engine he drove was numbered 34, and he had been about twelve months in the company's service. The signal was down after the accident. All the fans were opened. The signal consists of four piece; of wood fan•shaped and of different colours ; when it is intended for a train to stop, all the fans are down or opened, and are so large that they are very easily dis cerned. By the desire of the secretary we visited the signal and saw it worked, and we must state that if the fans were down when the accident happened, the driver of No. 34 engine is in our opinion criminally responsible for any lives that may be sacrificed by this untoward event. On our retnrn, Edward Unwfn, a most important witness, was called in, and he stated as follows :--I am a messenger at this station, and am eighteen years of age. I was at the signal post when the passenger train came tip, and I put down the signal to give notice that a train had arrived. I do not know what time it was, as I could not see the clock, but the train was twenty minutes behind its time. I was at the signal post to pull up the signal for the passenger train when the cattle train was cleared. When I left the signal to go to the station I left three fans down ; at that time the road was clear. I did - not Bee anything coming up. I could state on my oath the fans were down when I left the signal to come to the station. On my arrival at the station I locked the doors, and then came out on the platform, when I heard Mr. Richardson hal lowing out. I looked down the line, and sa w a t ra i n coming in. He shouted for the passenger train t o go on, and ran up, and then ran back, and called " Stop I" to the other party. Mr. Richardson set me to stop at the signal, and told me to turn round and look towards the train coming dove the line, and I did so. Mr. Roney, the secretary, here informed our re porter that the following persons were in custody : William Clare, the driver of en g ine 34 ; William Quen lin, the stoker ; Thomas Green the signal-man ; and an under foreman, named Nicholson. Mr. Samuel, the re sident engineer, gave them into custody, as they ap peared to be the four persons through whose negligence the accident had taken place. The secretary subse quently stated that he should release Green, the signal man, as it appeared he had been employed by the station clerk to attend to the cattle train. The men are now locked up at the Bow station. Mr. George Burford, a linen-draper, residing at Strat ford, attended by request of the secretary, an d made a statement that becomes of vital im portance, in the event of any of the sufferers dying , inasmuch as it con fi rms the more material portion of the lad Unwin's statement, and tends to strengthen the charge of culpability against the driver of No. 34 engine. He said—l was coming bridge the Point, wh en I saw a pas over the railway brid senger train coming up, and directly it came up the signal was let down. I had not left the bridge thirty yards before up came another train. I took no notiee then of the signal, and went straight home, I heard of the accident afterwards. I am aware how important what I have stated is; but it is the truth. When I heard the other train I thought it was one coming down. I could not have imagined that ono would be coming up so quickly after the other. I heard the man Clare say to Mr. Kitson that the signal was up, and when they saw the danger they were getting in, then be shut off the steam, and the stoker put on the breaks. Mr. Kitson saiti when be was taking the engine driver to Bow station, ho said to him, " What have you been doing," and he said the signal was up. Mr. Roney observed that the above was all the infor,- natation he mad give the press relative to the owe of S y JULY 20, 1846. the accident at present. He had a list of those persons who had been seriously injured, and Mr. Mosely, the superintendent of the traffic department, wculd read it. LIST OF THE WOUNDED TAKEN TO LONDON HOSPITAL. William Millward, bandbox maker, Bethnall-green, the large toe of the left foot cut off in the collision. Henry Olive, one of the Company's porters, a frac ture of the right leg. John Smith, one of the Company's men, chest and back much injured. William Prentice, porter, a very bad fracture of the leg ; amputation must follow. Hiram Morris, Hoop Inn, Deptford, the left foot partly cut off, the right leg much injured. This unfortunate individual must lose his foot, if not his leg, by ampu tation. Mr. - Richard Murphy, Hendon, Middlesex, solicitor, contused left leg. William Keeler, publican, Westwell, a fractured collar bone. Mr. Richard Stone, a gentleman from the lower part of Kent, a confined forehead. Of this number Messrs. Keeler, Murphy, and Stone were removed-from the hospital and sent home by their own desire. The following is a list of these persons injured who were by their own request sent to their residences, after being attended to by the medical gentlemen provided, by the company : Mrs. Payne, of Ilford, Essex : a comminuted fracture of the two bones of the leg. Mrs. Weddenhall, of Chigwell, Essex : a supposed racture of the thigh. Mrs. Bromley : a contusion. A gentleman residing at Chelmsford : his leg. se riously injured. A gentleman living at Victoria Villas, Dalston : taken home with a copcussion of the brain. ' It is stated by this accident thecompany will be the sufferers to the extent of between 6,000/. and 7,000/. It is intended to have a most searching investigation, and the directors will do their utmost to severely punish the real offender. (ADDITIONAL PA RTIC lILA s.) As soon as conveyances could be procured, those un fortunate sufferers who could not be attended to by the medical gentlemen at Stratford and their assistants, and who humanely and promptly hurried to the frightful steno, were placed in them, and conveyed, as quickly as the nature of their injuries would permit, to the London Hospital. On the vehicles arriving, the sufferers were removed to the receiving -room, when Mr. Luke, one of the principal surgeons, Mr. Chrichit, an assistant-sur geon, and Mr. Wardsworth, the house-surgeon of the institution, rendered every possible assistance that hu manity could suggest. The number received amounted to fourteen, but of these the injuries "of eight were not of a very serious charater, and after they had been dressed, the parties were enabled to leave the hospital. The remaining six cases, we regret to say, are of a very serious description, and three or four of them, in particular, are of a very dangerous description. When brought to the hospital, the majority of the in jured parties presented an extraordinary appearance. The clothes of many of them were rent and cut in au extraordinary manner, and to all who saw them their escape from instant destruction was considered as mi raculous. William Cotton, Esq., late Governor of the Bank of England, and Chairman of the Ilford bench of magis trates, was a passenger, and amongst the injured. The Hon. Magistrate received a severe contusion over one of his eyes. The following letter from the secretary of the Eastern Counties Railway gives an official account of the injuries received : " Eastern Counties Railway, Shoreditch, Sunday Evening, Ten o'clock. " Sir,—With reference to the accident on this line yesterday, I beg to state that I have been to Colchester to-day, to see Mr. and Mrs. Bromley, who had been re ported to me as being very seriously injured. The shin bone of the former is fractured, but Mrs. Bromley is only suffering from slight bruises and the shock on the nervous system, consequent upon the recent accident. Mrs. Payne, of Ilford, has a compound fracture of the small bones of the leg, and is, under the circumstances, going on favourably. Mrs. Widdenhal, of Chigwell, is suffering from a fracture of the thigh and dislocation of the small bones of the leg. The dislocation has been re. duced, and - when I saw her at five o'clock her symptoms were considered favourable. At the London Hospital there are six persons—Pren, tice, a porter in the service of the Company, compound fracture of the small bones of the leg, symptoms unfa vourable ; Wm. Millwood, laceration of the great toe, going on favourably ; Olive, goods carrier, fracture of the leg, doubtful whether amputation necessary; Smith, a constable belonging to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, fracture of the ribs and injury to the chest ; Morris, injury to the head ; and Shaffing ton, a porter in the service of the Company, injuries E 0 slight as will enable him to leave the hospital in a few days.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, _ _ " C. P. RONEY." ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SO- CIETY'S SHOW AT NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. This annual meeting commenced at Newcastle on Monday. On Tuesday the implement-yard was thrown open to the public, and at the same time the public ex amination of the working of the prize implements on the farm of Mr. Henry Hall, of Gosforth-cottage, com menced. The weather being, exceedingly fine, the at tendance was very large on the farming field, not fewer than twenty thousand people having visited the ground in the course of the day ; but the number of visitors to the exhibition of implements was very scanty, and but few seemed to take a lively interest in the development of this department of agricultural science. The exhibi tion was, nevertheless, a very interesting and important one. The number of articles exhibited to-day was 727. This is a decrease compared with the number of last year, but]the judges of the exhibition state that Ns hat is lost in point of number has been gained in point of quality, the new implements shown being singularly well adapted for improved cultivation, while the modifica tions on those exhibited which formerly obtained prizes were all of a simple and highly practical descrip tion. At five o'clock in the afternoon about 600 members and friends of the institution met in the Music-hall, Nelson-square, to hear a lecture from Professor Johnston, on the chemical principles involved in the preparation of manures, and their action upon crops, with demonstra tions. Lord Portman, President of the Society, occu pied the chair, supported on the right by W. Miles, Esq., M.P. for Somersetshire. Various questions were put by gentlemen present, which were answered to their satisfaction; after which Mr. Smith, of Deanston, de livered an interesting address on the subject of preserv ing the sewage of large towns, in order to supply the country districts with liquid manures, which would answer all the purposes of bone dust or guanO, at much less cost. After giving several instances in proof of the value of preserving the sewage of large towns, he stated that he was now associated with some gentlemen in London with a view to carry this system fully out. They intended, and indeed offered to pump liquid manure, and deliver it eleven miles in the country, at three pence a ton—spreading it on the ground for that charge, and guaranteeing its excellence in quality. They had already contracted to supply 28,000 acres of land, and in a short time he would be able to lay a detailed statement of his views on the subject before the public. A good deal of discussion followed Mr. Smith's address, and many points of practical importance were touched upon. Lord Portman then said they had had an exceedingly suc cessful and practical discussion, and doubtless great good would result from it; but in order to the full bene fits of agricultural science being realised, the co-opera tion of landlord and tenant must be secured.—(Cheers,) His Lordship, in further illustration of the advantages of liquid manure, stated some instances of its effects which he had witnessed in his own neighbourhood, and then urged on all present the necessity, not only of educating themselves, but of educating their sons and grandsons also.—(Cheers.) Those who, like himself, had come from the south, would doubtless return with the convic tion, that in point of education in agricultural science they were far behind those in the north. It was impos sible to sit as he had done at that meeting, and not be struck with the deep-toned earnestness of the farmers present, their shrewd observations, and the practical character of their study. It was evident they were edu cated men.—(Hear, hear.) A vote of thanks was then passed to the Noble Chairman, and the meeting separated. The award of prizes for the stock was issued on Wed nesday evening. On Thursday the general show-yard was opened to the public in the morning, and throughout the day was crowded by visitors. During the morning the high rate of admission rendered the company select and fashionable ; but, at one o'clock, when the charge was reduced to a shilling, the rush became so tremendous, that another entrance was found necessary to prevent serious consequences. Notwithstanding this precaution, several children were trodden under foot, and were rescued only after great exertions. The show itself was considered by competent judges much superior to any of the Society's previous ones. The quantity of stock was large, and the quality gene rally good. A fatal accident unfortunately occurred in the yard. A boy venturing too near one of the competing horses, received a violent kick ; he was removed to the in firmary, and soon afterwards died. THE PAVILION DINNER. The public dinner took place in the afternoon in the" capacious pavilion. At four o'clock about 1,300 persons sat down, under the presidency of Lord Portman, with the Earl of Egremont (the president elect) in the vice chair. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who is on a visit at Ravensworth Castle, entered with the chairman, and was received with much warmth. Amongst the distinguished personages present were the Duke of Cleveland, the Earl of Chichester, the Earl of Sheffield, Viscount Morpeth, &c. &c. The Earl of CHICHESTER, in proposing (after dinner) the toast, " Agriculture, Manufactures, and Com merce," urged the importance of bearing in mind the fact that a reciprocal interest exists between these great portions of the community. When he first joined this society, and indeed till about eight months ago, be felt mot iuterent iA tie pp:verity q Agriculture, and, what is not identical, he took great inters st ii the prosperity of manufactures ; but, until the period tt which he had alluded, he was not himself a practical far. mer. Having now become so, he would venture to stag to the meeting the source from which he drew en couragernent, under God's providence, and those calm and higher considerations which ought to encourage to in every difficult task. They were all aware that tin farmer, in the course of his operations in husbandry, was in the habit of watching those signs which Provi dence has given us, and by which we judge to a certair, degree what weather and seasons we may expect ; and though we were not able to foretell for a long time to gether what weather we should have, yet if we wert sedulous in watching those signs, we should general') make pretty sure guesses what they would be, when we looked around us and observed the stars of the horizon. But we had also to consider, par ticularly in large undertakings, what we .might expect to be the state of the demand for our produce. And when he entered into these speculations, the manner ii, which he directed his observations, to ascertain whether improvement in agriculture and the increase in agricul tural produce was likely to be an employment in whict one might safely engage, was towards the state of the country in general. He tried to ascertain how far hi might look upon the prosperity of those great interests which were included in the toast he now proposed; and, in considering this question, his eyes were turned towards the north of England. They all knew how essentially the prosperity of the agriculturists must always depend upon the prosperity of those almost innumerable masses of our countrymen who resided at a distance.—(Cheers. And they had found that just in proportion as the manu facturing part of the population of the country prospered and thrives, so did the agriculturists find a ready market for their produCe. This and many other instances showed that the various interests of soeicty depended intimateirt~rtsttltoft 011.5 ittirargu went which! ie should address to them as a farmer. The I other classes comprised in the toast were equally in terested in improving the science of agriculture, and thus to add to that supply of food which, it the farmer: of England bestirred themsel v e s , would enable th em to scatter plenty th roug h out the land.—(Loud cheers.) The Duke of CLEVELAND proposed " The Mayor and Corporation of Newcastle." He hoped, that notwith standing what had taken place, this society would con tinue to flourish.—(Hear, hear.) Entertaining, as he was known to do, very strong opinions in this respect, he must yet say that he neither despaired nor desponded.— (Hear, hear.) He certainly might be allowed to say that agriculture bad received a heavy blow and great dis couragement.—(lronical cries of " Hear.") But there was ito reason why they should relax their endeavours, or why they should not exert themselves to the utmost. His advice was, wherever improvement had not taken place, to go on, as far as in them lay, to create that im provement. Much was still to be done in every district in England.--(Hear.) They were now cast entirely upon their own resources.—(Partial cheering.) He must take the liberty of denying the fallacy that they could improve agriculture to any extent. Manufactures might be carried on with a skill, an industry, and a power of machinery which reduced the matter to a certainty; but in agriculture they were dependent upon the weather and the seasons, let their ingenuity be what it might. The MAYOR of NEWCASTLE returned;thanks on behalf of the Corporation. Mr. GREY, of Dilston, proposed "The Labouring Classes." Mutual dependence existed between the te nant-farmers and the tillers of the soil, and the condi tion of the latter could not be improved until the former were raised above the annual or tenant-at-will system. They had been told that there was a limit to agricultural improvement, but he was satisfied that it would not be reached in our day.—(Cheers.) Lord PORTMAN, in returning thanks for his health, expressed his cordial approval of the principle and prac tice of the society, and congratulated the members on its increasing prosperity. This society had, since its com mencement, paid eleven thousand pounds as prizes, and it now numbered nearly 7,200 members. In 1839, at their first meeting at Oxford, 249 cattle were entered for show; this year they had had 613. At Oxford they had 23 im plementsvisited, and he sincer e ly h o p e d th a t t h ey wou ld l eave a t t o hl i s m y p e r a o r ve th th ey e v h a a r d iou 7 s 32 d .- i — st ( r C ic h t e s er w s. h ) ich T t h h e e i y r object lesson for the benefit of the district in which they now were, for he had never seen a district in which drainage was so much needed, or in which the farmers so de lighted in the cultivation of weeds.—(Loud laughter.) Viscount MORPETII, in proposing the health of the judges of the show, said, I believe it is known, upon good authority, that an illustrious foreign Prince, who has recently visited our shores—l wish he had been present on this occasion, together with our own illus trious Prince of our own good old soil—among all the spe cimens of beauty exhibited to him, manifested the greatest admiration for a certain roundness and plump ness of proportion.—(Uproarious laughter.) Now, I cannot but think that if his Highness Ibrahim Paella had been here, he would have found much to admire in English cattle as well as English ladies. (Loud laughter and cheers.) But at all events he would not have complained of their being too slight and sylph-like in their proportions.—(Loud laughter and cheering.) lie would have, I am sure, especially applauded the smoothness of outline, and the filling up of all irregular parts which they displayed. The toast was drunk with the usual honours. 31r. Tow, of Riley, acknowledged the compliment. After " The Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland," and " The Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Ireland," Mr. LIDDELL, M.P., gave " The health of the Presi dent elect." The immense company then separated. The sale of the stock, which terminated the proceed. ings of the meeting, took place on Friday. • SECOND EXCURSION TO ROT TERDAM. (From the Ipswich Journal.) IPSWICH, JULY 18.—The public are again much in debted to the Eastern Union Railroad and Steam. boat Companies, for the opportunity afforded on Wednesday last of visiting the fine port and town of Rotterdam. The arrangements were on the most ample scale, and afforded the best possible accommodation to all who wished to enjoy railroad transit, with a voyage to sea, and a shor3 sojourn in a town which, by commercial opulence and enterprise, ranks deservedly as the second in the king dom of Holland. At three o'clock P.m. on Tuesday, a train left London, with John Chevalier Cobb°ld, Esq., and a party of gen tlemen, arriving at Ipswich station precisely at half-past five P.m. They immediately proceeded to the Orwell Steam Company's wharf, where the Orwell steamer, under the command of Capt. Rackhani, with about 130 persons on board, including several gentlemen from East Suffolk, with their respective families, were in waiting. The whole of the passengers being embarked, the Orwell left the wharf precisely at 20 minutes to 6, with the Dutch colours flying at the mast head. No sooner had the Orwell been released from her moorings, than the largo crowd of people assembled on either sides of the river and on Stoke Bridge, raised a succession of hearty hurras for the success of the voyage, which were cordially responded to by the voyageurs, and the Orwell speeded majestically on her course down the river, the pleasure of all on board being materially augmented by the fineness of the weather, though a brisk breeze from the S. W. portended a heavy swell at sea, and a rough passage. When off John's Ness, a large company on board the River Queen Steamer, under the command of Captain Wells, in passing saluted the Orwell with a succession of hearty cheers, which were answered with alacrity. The Orwell arrived at Har wich at 31 min. past 6, and after a stoppage of 20 min., received on board a party of gentlemen who had ern ' barked on board a craft from the Jetty. At the entrance to Harwich harbour, the company were agreeably en• livened by the arrival of some splended yachts for Har wich regatta, under full press o f sa il . T hese were soon left far behind in the distance. The first point to which the Orwell steered h er course was the Shipwash which she passed at 6 min. to S. h er course was now steered direct for Brielle, and being regularly out at sea, many of the passengers began soon to ex perience the inconveniences to which landsmen are liable. The sky became overcast, and a heavy swell caused the Orwell to roll a good deal. This continued throughout the night, and if anything increased on Wednesday morning at 2, and indeed long a fter the Dutch Coast loomed in the di s t ance . T o those, how ever, who felt none of these qualms, the scene throughout the night was of a character which impressed all present with a full view of the majesty and grandeur of the ocean. Towards eleven o'clock the atmosphere in the zenith cleared, unfolding to contemplation a blue canopy of stars. All around, as far as eye could view, was one unbroken expanse of foaming and rolling sea. A-head of the vessel, the horizon, for about 20 deg. in altitude, presented a mass of vapour. In the centre of this, the crimson disk of the moon peered through the clouds, and soon afterwards shone effulgently in the clear atmosphere. The appearance she presented from the after deck was peculiarly no ve l. A s t h e Orwell rolled from side to side, the moon assumed the semblance of a huge crimson ball flitting across the bows of the vessel. Indeed the scene altogether almost surpasses description, and will be long remem bered by those who witnessed one so full of interest. No sooner was the Dutch coast in view, which appeared like a long line of vapour, than all on board were on the look-out for the Dutch pilot vessel. In vain however was their expectation—no Dutch pilot vessel was to be descried, though the telescope was put in re quisition. If anything, the sea at this time ran higher than at any previous period of the voyage, and nearly the whole of the passengers were sent below. In this manner, the Orwell beat about for at least an hour, when no pilot boat coming to her assistance, Cap tain Raekham ordered the helmsman to steer direct fur the channel to Bridle. Having passed the Gorce Light the Orwell neared the als:er Bank, the soundings occasionally varying from six fathoms to three. In this manner she proceeded a considerable distance ; on the right, between the Orwell and the shore, a long line of breakers with the masts of a wreck as a warning of the hapless fate of some other vessel; on the left, at the distance of a quarter of a league, the hull of a fine vessel, which had only a few days before got into the shallow waters of this dangerous shore. The captain and crew of the Orwell, however, were !Andy and cool in the discharge pf their duties, too , °I ,or f e ct garl 1 12, 0._100:
