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 owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several 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. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our daty to ourselves, we secure the lit e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation 'V' our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

NOTICES Or THE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between ' irritative. and inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. leaving carefully perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices Of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks." From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks Is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in treating, the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea lousies which sever the peace of families."

PTi.ICE I shall receive from my fellow countrymen, who, in different parts of the kingdom, have so kindly come forward to express their approval of the appointment that her Majesty has been pleased to make of a resident proprietor as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. " The interest I have always felt in the prosperity of this country makes the appointment most gratifying, as it gives me the opportunity of more immediately di recting my attention to those measures of internal improvement which 'must tend to the tranquillity and weifnre of the kingdom. "I deeply regret the distress that prevails in many parts of the country from the failure of the potato crop, and you may rely on my immediately carrying into effect those measures which the Legislature have adopted for relieving the poorer classes under this heavy dispen sation of Providence." The Corporation then withdrew. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of the above Association was held in Conciliation Hall this day. At one o'clock Mr. O'Connell entered the hall (attired in his municipal robes) amidst loud cheers, and moved that Counsellor O'Dowd should take th e chair. The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting at some length, and commenced by thanking the meeting for the honour they conferred upon him. He then alluded to the Young Ireland party, and stated that in his opinion no ques tion, except the repeal question, should be discussed in that Hall. He (the Chairman) denounced the conduct of the Young Ireland party ; he denounced their cri minal silence upon that question (the Bequests Act) which vitally affected the interests of the Catholics of Ireland—not merely the Catholics, but of the Protest ants, for that question referred to both parties. He ar raigned their conduct upon that question—he arraigned their silence, as tending in no small degree to the passing of that very measure. Mr. RAY read the minutes of the last day's proceedings. Mr. O'CONNELL rose, and after handing in some money. said that as he was now in trim for visiting the Castle, and as he had to go up with the Address from. the Corporation to an Irish nobleman, the Earl of Bes borough—a man who was well acquainted with Irish affairs, he would speak to the meeting at once. He sup posed he would not find fault at hearing his (Mr. O'Con nell's) brogue addressing him this day. At all events, the Association would be satisfied.— (Cheers.) The first topic he had to allude to was the state of the diltiess, and the failure of the potato crop in Ireland. It had been thrown out that they had done nothing. Upon that subject they were mistaken. They did all they could ,; and he a ould tell the meeting what they did. They put into the possession of the Government every account they received from different parts of the country, and the sentiments expressed by different writers upon the subkct. He (Mr. O'Connell) himself did a great deal more ; for he sent them information respecting the failure of the crop. He engaged the attention of Government to the distress that prevailed in the country. The Govern ment had passed an Act of Parliament for the relief of the poor. By that Act the rich must pay for keeping the poor in employment, and whenever the poor Irish man could get good wages for his labour, he was never known to ask for charity from any man. The landlords did not like that law. Now, he would tell them th a t l aw would be perpetu a l, un l ess they gained the repeal, which would compel the absentees to come here and spend their incomes in Ireland. The next topic was the Infidel Col leges Bill.—(Cheers.) He never read a paper with more delight than he did the Evening Freeman of Saturday, announcing the glorious news that the Cardinals, to whom it was referred, unanimously condemned the Bill.—(Cheers.) What a triumph was that for the faithful people of Ireland, for the Catholics of Ireland, and for the Catholic clergy of Ireland. The Colleges Act had been condemned in Rome, and it was also condemned in Ireland. Mr. O'Connell then referred to the demand made by the Presbyterians. He (Mr. O'Connell) thought the Presbyterians were perfectly right in that demand. He thought Lord John Russell was very wrong in refusing them.—(Applause.) He would do the best he could to get for them that demand. He would insist upon the demand of the Catholic clergy to have jurisdiction over the professors appointed to in struct the Catholic youth—and the same jurisdiction should be given to the Protestant. He gave notice that he would move—that before the next session an address should be presentei to the Queen condemning in the most emphatic terms " mixed education." He believed Lord John Russell liked the principle of mixed educa tion. He would now refer to a subject of great import ance to the Association. It had been said that many people were anxious for reconciliation between the two parties in that Hall, No man was more anxious for a reconciliation than he was, especially a reconciliation with Mr. Smith O'Brien. He would do anything but sacrifice principle to obtain that reconciliation. He could not afford to sacrifice his principles because he would be breaking through the basis of the Association. They stood upon the basis of the Association. If the Young Ireland party choosed to come in and stand upon that basis they were heartily welcome to do so. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman entered fully into the breach between the Young Irelanders and the Associa tion, and detailed his reasons for compelling the Young Ireland party to state their opinions. On June 15 last, Lord J. Russell, in his speech on the Coercion Bill, in the House of Commons, spoke as follows:—" There is a numerous body in Ireland, numerous even among the representatives of Ireland, but far more numerous in Ire land, which says that no legislhtion of a united Parlia ment can devise fit remedies for Irish grievances, and that it is in a domestic Parliament alone that fit and wise l,gislation is to be sought. Such is their opinion. There is another, I hear, who if I read rightly their sen timents, as expressed in a newspaper—l will name it — called the Nation., which has great circulation in Ireland, who go beyond the question of legislative union, who would wish not merely to restore such a Parliament as that which it was the boast of Mr. Grattan to found, and which legislated under the sceptre of the same Sovereign as the Parliament of Great Britain, but a party which excites to violence, which looks at disturbance as its means, and separation from England as its end." What interest had Lord John Russell? He had no party in terest—he is too high-minded a man to say and think the contrary, when he gave this account of the Young Ireland party. They had attempted to dony it. One of the newspapers said that there was no tendency of separa tion. Why, he was looking over their articles in answer to correspondents. The Learned Gentleman then read another extract, and proceeded to observe:—The reform was carried by moral force. The Anti-Corn-law League was carried by moral force. Why, we succeeded before them (Englishmen), and English success was only en couraged by our success.—(Hear, hear.) But it was unfortunate for themselves, they were implicated in the guilt of treason. They did not understand the law. He said distinctly there are two kinds of high treason. On the 18th of July the IVation deliberately published this. The Learned Gentleman here read the following: _ " France sent them offers of help and guidance through _ M. tiedru Rollin, and through many a surer source. America talked openly of Baltimore clippers and raids over Canadian border." " And some have believed that a country haunted with the memory of heroic resistance and proud victories from the field of the yellow ford to the church of Dun- • gannon, and hot with shame and indignation at suffering and disgrace without end, would at length rise and snatch the liberty so long denied. That her Chief, weary of hope deferred, would at length proclaim that patience had limits, and resolve now again to " Right her wrongs in battle line." " We fully confess that much was written in this journal tending remotely to that end, calculated to sti mulate the hope and desire of great and speedy changes wrought by a people's might."—Nation, Saturday, 18th July, 1846. The Learned Gentleman concluded by referring to seve ral legal authorities, showing that they would be guilty of high treason if they held the same opinions as the Young Ireland party did. Mr. STEELE addressed the meeting with reference to his late visit to the county Clare. He was present at a meeting in Kilrush, and was deputed to express to Mr. O'Connell the thanks and gratitude of the people and Catholics of Kilrush, and particularly their moral alle giance to his commands. Mr. O'CONNELL expressed his gratitude to the people of Kilrush. Several sums of money having been handed in, Mr. J. O'CONNELL spoke at some length upon the Colleges Bill, and concluded by referring to religion in the army, and proposed that a committee should be. formed called the Religion Grievance Committee of the Association, and that they should search for the severul grievances which existed in the army. Several subscriptions having been handed in, the rent was announced to be 1041.

WESTFIELD AND SEDLESCOMD, AUG. 30.—We cannot speak too highly of our hops in this neighbourhood ; they are now past improvement, having arrived et ma• Wray, and picking commenced. There are some who think the duty will pay nearly 200,090/. WADHURST, Aua. 29.—Picking has commenced in this parish. They come in much lighter than they were expected, and in many instances requiring 90 to 95 bushels for a cwt. The usual calculation in average years is about 60 bushels to the cwt. lIORSMONDEI7, Auo. hop picking will be general in this parish about the middle of the week. We have seldom seen a larger flower or a more luxuriant show than is to be witnessed in nearly the whole of our grounds this year, and from present appearances we judge that both quantity and quality will be found to be excellent. (From the Maidstone Gazette.) MAIDSTONE.—The hop picking began very generally yesterday. A few planters began in the middle of last week. The hops have been improving, the weather has been very favourable for them, and we shall have ex ceeding good samples both for colour and quality. The college ground is in very beautiful order, and Mr. Gurney's ground is said to be even still better. 'WATERINGDURY, TEST O N, MEREWORTH, AND NET TLESTEAD.—SeveraI of the great growers have begun picking, and the quantity and quality answers their ge neral expectations. This is a favoured district, and the hops are better in quality than usual. GOUDHURST.—We are now picking at many places, but the prevailing opinion is that it would have been better to have deferred it for a week or ten days later, being convinced that they have lost considerably in weight by so doing. If the weather continue still and warm, they would do well to let them stand at least a fortnight longer. EAST MALLING.—There has been great improvement in the hop plantations in this neighbourhood within the last ten days. The hops are grown out large, and are good in quality. One large garden belonging to Mr. Thomas Browning, sen., comprising forty acres, is ex ceedingly good ; a great part of it is laid at a ton per acre. Picking will commence generally about the 3d and 4th inst. YALDING.—Some of the gardens in this parish are in a splendid condition ; in many the yield will be above a ton per acre. _ _ EAST PECKHAM. —flop picking commenced here on the 26th, and the hops come down quite to the grower's satisfaction ; yesterday the picking was general. There has been a ground picked that has averaged one bushel per hill, and 400 bushels per acre. IIORSMONDEN.—Picking has commenced in this parish and will be general about the 2d or 3d of September. We have seldom seen the hops so large as they are this year. The yield, we trust, will be found nearly equal to that of last year, and of excellent quality. ANOTHER ACCOUNT.—Picking commenced in this parish last week, and four instances out of five left off picking in consequence of the hops being so much in two crops, that the weight fell so very short, about seven and a half cwt. per acre. It will commence again about the 3d of September. It appears that the largeness of the 11.)p, which is beyond all precedent, will not make up for the deficiency of number, being so thin on the poles. INCREASE OF FARES ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN LINE. On Tuesday the South-Eastern Company raised their passenger fares to an extent varying from ten to forty per cent.—an admission, notwithstanding all that has bean officially said to the contrary, that low fares have failed, in the county of Kent. The circumstances under which the reduction and in crelse have taken place are of so singular a character, and public convenience and accommodation are so mixed up in the matter, that a brief notice of them becomes a public duty. Railway companies are induced to reduce their fares by one or two convictions, viz., that it will produce an increase of receipts as well as of the number of passen gers ; or that t will what is termed drive an opponent out of the field, or, in other words, enable them success fully to-contend in Parliament against a competing line. In both cases the result must be interesting and instruc tive to the community. Without desiring to say by which of these motives the South-Eastern Company were actuated, we shall give the old and new fares, and then briefly state a few facts connected with the re duction and the increase. The following is a list of the fares as they were and as hey now are : Ist Class. 2d Class. 3d Class. Increase s. d. s. d. s. d. per cent. Reigate, old „ new 4 0 3 0 1 9 Tunbridge, old 6 6 4 0 2 6 26 new. 7 6 5 6 351 Tunbridge Wells, old 7 0 4 6 2 81 ~ new 8 6 6 6 3 10S "'" Maidstone, old .. 7 0 4 6 2 8 40 fit new 9 0 6 6 4 0 Canterbury, old 9, new l5 0 11 0 6 9 Rarnsgate, old new ...... Folkestone, old - l6 0 10 0 GOZ ,t new _ _ .. .... ._ Dover, old l5 0 10 0 601 16 „ new It will be recollected that at the termination of the session of 1844 it was known that a very strong contest would take place in the session just closed for competing lines through North and Mid Kent. In September, 1845, the South-Eastern Company re duced their fares, and in a very elaborate official state ment of " the position and projects of the South-Eastern Company" it was asserted that by this reduction " a great benefit had been conferred on the public without any loss being sustained by the Company." At the South-Eastern Company's half-yearly meeting in March last, the directors in their report stated - "On the Ist of September last the directors carried into effect a great reduction of fares, and adopted the system of granting day tickets, and the directors have much satisfaction in stating that these measures have had the effect they anticipated." _ _ _ _ At that meeting the Chairman (Mr. M'Gregor) also said, " . I beg leave to congratulate you on the state of your affairs, which must be highly satisfactory to you. You are all aware that the resolution of the directory for reducing the fares came into operation on the Ist of September, and the result to which we looked forward has been attained." It will be seen that these assertions of the directors and chairman, that the experiment of the reduction of fares had proved successful, were made seven months after it had been in operation. In Parliament this reduction of fares was made one of the chief grounds on which the South• Eastern claimed a sort of right to make a North Kent as well as a Mid Kent line. In the statement put in before Group 14 by the South- Eastern Company, in the session just closed, they say:— "Recently they have carried the reduction of fares, prev;ously low, still further, and have gone to great expanse in placing their locomotive establishment on the best footing, and in laying down the electric telegraph. " Under these circumstances they feel that there would be a hardship in giving a preference to other cora panics, the establishment of which would not be of any peculiar advantage to the public, but would inflict serious injury on the South-Eastern Company." In fact, no one doubts, that much of the strength of the Parliamentary case of the South-Eastern Company arose out of the reduction which has just been done away with, and from the belief that it had proved remu nerative, and that it would, as a consequence, be a per manent reduction. The questions that the public have a right to ask and have answered are-Ist. Were the directors and chair man mistaken when they stated the experiment of the reduction of fares had proved a successful one ; and if not, why have they raised the fares when the receipts have gone on continually increasing from the time they declared the reduction of fares had proved remunera tive? Is it that the Canterbury and Ramsgate branch is not remunerative, and that an increased receipt over 141 miles, is less remunerative than the old receipt over 113 miles? Or was the reduction made, not in good faith, but for Parliamentary purposes? Our readers have the short facts of the case before them, and can judge for themselves. The peculiar feature in the South-Eastern line is its circuitous character. Dover by road is 72 miles, by rail it is 88; Canterbury by road is 56, by rail 82; Maid stone by road is 33, but by rail it is 56; Ramsgate is by road 72, and by rail 97k. The principle admitted by the South-Eastern Company in its Parliamentary m i l s d basedPeterborough—for onthesimple struggle, as well as i n their reduction of fares in September last year, w as that the passenger should be by very circuitous charged—as between London ( pi l i i rn r oc e ps c o t sa d irt i ei s o t n a o n fft hceearset.d if certain This rdt a.tri p en : t i t Le Psl e e , served with fares at the same line, rate per mile as those charged by the longer one, such towns may justly call upon the company having the circuitous railway to charge them f or di rect d i stances only. Because the legislature chose to sanction a roundabount instead of a strilight line through Kent, it does not follow that the public can be justly required to pay for as well as to travel and lose time over some unnecessary 23 miles in 56, which is now the case in travelling betyveett London and Maid stone by the South-Eastern line. Tho argument that the South-Eastern Company cannot, with profit to itself, carry passengers 56 miles round to Maidstone and c harge them for the distance b y road, i s a good and valid and very reasonable argument when. urged before South- Eastern proprietors , but it is of no force to the people of M a id s tone, nor to those who wish to travel to that place, when responsible persons go beforo Parliament, and offer to construct a direct line to Maid s t one , an d to i nsert a clause in their Act binding them to carry passengers to and fro at a rate below the sum that was levied by the South-Eastern when that Company ch arged over the direct distance only. The excess of fare w hi c h the pr i nc i ple now Doverin operation on the Dover line, of charging for circuitous distances, occasions will beseen from the following figures : -.--Tunbridge is thirty - two miles by road, and the third-class passenger. if charged according to the Parliamentary restriction, would , pay 2s. Bd. ; but be cause he is compelled to be an additional half-hour on his journey in order to get over the circuitous nine miles, he is charged 3s. 5 d. , o r abo ut thirty pet cent. beyond ; the ordinary third-class charge. Canterbury is fifty-six miles by the road, and the charge by a direct line of rail DIVISION OF PROFITS. The remarkable success and increasing prosperity of the society has enabled the Directors, at the last annual investigation, to declare a fourth bonus, varying from 35 to 85 per cent. on the premiums paid on each Policy effected on the Pro& scale.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. ALTON.—Picking has began in most of the gardens since Monday, and a fair yield is expected. Some of the plantations will have to remain another week before the poles are lowered, as the second shoot with burr has not yet ripened sufficiently to lead the cultivators to commence gathering till the expiration of a week or ten days. FROYLE.—The gardens present an animated appear ance ; all are busy picking, having commenced in most of the gardens on Monday last, and the yield is much greater than was expected. ALRESFORD.—The fruit is full four inches each on branches two feet or more in length, and the poles co vered from the top to the bottom. MILLPORT AND . WINNELL.—There will be more than an average crop ; such a yield has not been here for more than twenty years past. Some plantations that were considered not worth standing two months ago, will now produce from five to eight cwts. per acre. FARNUAM.—Such is the profusion of hops, that from fifteen to thirty cwt. per acre on some favoured spots is confidently looked far. A great number will be picked, safely dried, and pocketed before Saturday, should the weather continue as favourable as it was on Monday and Tuesday. A few showers fell on Monday night, yet not to that extent as to stop the gathering. CrtoNnEm..—Although the bine is not so tall on the poles, nor the burr so productive as at Farnham, yet the yield is expected to be much greater than it has been for many years past. Some sporting men are betting that this year's duty for England wilt reach at least 190,0001. (From the Sussex Advertiser.) BURWASH, AUGUST 40.—Some of our farmers have just commenced picking their hops, with what satis faction to themselves we hardly know, very small quan tities having as yet gone to scale. Rumour, however, speaks of these few not weighing well ; in one instance about 80 bushels have, we believe, been required to the cwt. The pickers, so far, do not seem to be getting on satisfactorily ; in some cases not picking the quantity in a full day that they expected ; in others working too few hours. The bulk of the planters have not yet begun; by the middle of the coming week, however, picking will be eeneral. BREDE, AUGUST 30.—A - s — a - Proof of the excellence of the crop, it may be stated, that six pockets of hops, the produce of an acre and forty-five hills from the grounds of Mr. Edward Lord, were found to weigh exactly 10 cwt. This is at the rate of sixty-eight bushels and a fraction to the cwt. Throughout this neighbourhood, that is, Ewhurst, Newenden, Northiam, Udimore, and Sandhurst, the hops will average this rate. Hop picking has commenced at a few places in this parish, and will be pretty general by the first of September. The hops are very full of condition, bright, and free from mould. Duty estimated at 180,000/. to 185,000/. BEXHILL, AUG. 29.—The hops in this and the ad joining parishes have improved far beyond our expec tations ; still we shall be short of last year's growth. Picking will be general next week. GOUDIIURST, AUG. 20.—Picking will be nearly ge neral with ua to-morrow, though in many instances the hops are not all of them ripe ; where they have begun many complain of their weighing uncommonly light, in some instances wanting as many as 100 bushels to the cwt., which will cause us to come short of what we expected. GUESTLING, AUG. 30.—The hops in this and the neighbouring parishes are still improving ; both bine and hops continue to grow. Picking will not be general till the end of the week. HURST GREEN, AUG. 30.—The hop picking in this parish has become general. In some plantations they weigh very light, in others rather heavy. The general complaint is that, they are in two crops. No average can be given, as they vary as much as from 60 to 100 bushels per cwt. MAYFIELD, AUG. 30.—Several planters have com menced picking, and they fully realise their expecta tions ; the samples are good. The last week has been very favourable for the plantations, and picking will be come general by the Ist of September. The produce will far exceed that of last year. RYE, AUG. 30.—Hop picking has partially commenced in this district, and in the course of a few days will be come general. From what we have heard, we are in clined to believe that the hop growers are perfectly satisfied with their crops, exceeding, in most instances, their expectations. UDIMORE, Auc. 30.—The hop gardens in this parish have improved very much within the last fortnight ; some of them are very large, and the branches thickly set, so that we are in hopes we shall grow more hops than we did last year. MI . & . ) SEPTEMBER 3 1846. , 7 3 would be 4s. Bd., whereas the South-Eastern Company now charge Gs. 9d., or between forty and fifty per cent. for the elbow route. Rarnsgate is seventy-two miles by road, and the fare, therefore, should be Gs., whereas it is now charged Bs. Id., or thirty-three per cent. too high. Whatever be the cause of this increase of fares, the public may rest assured that the directors feel the neces sity of it. On this subject we shall offer a few observa tions in another notice.—Herald. tenants at Culloville, and amicable arrangements for the purchase of about two miles of the line near that village were made. The money was paid d own an d p ossess i on given. There are only a few claimants remaining un settled w ith on this contract, and as they are all tenants at-will there will be no difficulty in settling with them, the proprietor in fee, the Marquis of Bath, having ar ranged with the company. Approaching Dundalk the works have made considerable progress, and the con tractors having lately got possession of nearly all the land required are about to employ more hands. On the whole line under contract there are now about 1,300 men employed, which number will in a few weeks be in creased to nearly 3,ooo—Dublin Railway Gazette. A NEW RAILWAY SIGNAL—A new railway signal, intended to afford a certain and speedy mode of com munication between the guard and driver of a train, was yesterday tried on the Eastern Counties Railway during a trip made especially to exhibit the same from London to Romford. A party of gentlemen connected with various railway companies, and otherwise interested in railway travelling, assembled on the invitation of Mr. J. H. Dutton, the patentee, at one o'clock, at the Shore ditch terminus, where the nature of the invention was explained to them by that gentleman in person. The proposed contrivance is simple enough, and consists of a small copper tube, about one inch in diameter, at tached to the bottom of the engine and each carriage in the train. On the engine, and on each carriage where a guard is seated, an upright tube communicates with the longitudinal one beneath. This tube is supplied with a small brass whistle and mouthpiece. The action may be thus explained :—A train consisting of twelve carriages would probably have two guards, one sta tioned on the last carriage, and one about the middle of the train. The guard on the last carriage wishes to bring the train to a sudden stand, for this purpose he Ftblows thvmah the mouthpiece 11 his upright übe, Making care, at the same time, y raising a small I brass lever, to render quiescent the action of his own whistle. The attention of the driver and the second guard is immediately arrested by the sound of the whistles attached to their respective tubes, the steam is shut off, the breaks applied, and the train stopped. The chief advantages which Mr. Dutton's invention appears to possess over others of a somewhat similar nature which have preceeded it, is the placing the whistle at the extremity of the tube, instead of near the mouthpiece, through which the air enters. By this arrangement the sound is preserved, and heard very plainly by the parties to whom it is addressed, even when a train is at full speed. The trial yesterday was with a train of twelve carriages, and we believe the experiment was considered, so far as it went, perfectly satisfactory. The break between the carriages is sup plied by an elastic wire and India rubber tube, which is fitted and detached with great facility. The expense of the signal, Mr. Dutton states, will not exceed 30s. per carriage. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO GUERNSEY. (From the Guernsey Sun of Monday.) In compliance with a wish expressed by his Excellency Major-General Napier, a public meeting was held this day at two o'clock, on the New Ground, for the purpose of having communicated to the inhabitants of this Island, the following most gracious Message from the Queen, expressive of her Majesty's sentiments on the occasion of her late visit to Guernsey. Precisely at two o'clock, his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, attended by his staff and the Colonels of the Royal Guernsey Militia arrived on the New Ground, where his Excellency was met by the Royal Court, the clergy, the constables, most of the civil and military authorities, and an im mense concourse of the inhabitants. His Excellency was most enthusiastically cheered. Previous to reading Sir George Grey's letter, his Excellency said, — Inhabitants of Guernsey, I have called you together this day to read to you the letter from the Home Secre tary conveying her most gracious Majesty's thanks for the loyalty and promptness which you testified on the occasion of her late visit to Guernsey. Yon welcomed your Queen, the mightiest Sovereign in the whole world, with a promptness that did you credit, and proved what Guernseymen can do at so short a notice. When the head acts it is well, when the heart acts it is well also; but when both work together, all is sure to go righ►, and I feel indebted to you fur the loyal manner in which you received her Majesty. It was suggested to me to call a meeting on Tuesday, but as you proved what you could do when her Majetty took you by surprise, I was determined to try you again. I was also advised to send the letter to the newspapers, but I preferred reading it to you myself, than to see it garbled in the columns of a newspaper. It is my intention to have the letter of the Home Secretary printed in French and English, and posted on every church door. Such is a feeble obtline of his Excellency's speech, who was frequently inter rupted by repeated cheers. His Excellency then read the following letter:— Whitehall, Aug. 28, 1846. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that I have received the Queen's most gracious commands to take the earliest opportunity of expressing to you, as Lieu tenant-Governor of Guernsey, her sense of the affec tionate loyalty with which her Majesty was received upon the occasion of her late visit to that island. The feelings of attachment and devotion to her Majesty's person and government so conspicuously exhibited upon that occasion by the inhabitants of Guernsey, have been, I am commanded to assure you, peculiarly gratifying to her Majesty, and I am to request that you will, as Lieu tenant-Governor of the island, make known these her Majesty's sentiments to her faithful subjects there. I beg to offer you my congratulations upon your having witnessed the loyal demonstration which has called forth this gracious expression of her Majesty's sentiment, and imposed upon you a duty which, upon every account, must be gratifying to your feelings.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, G. GREY. . Major-General Napier, &c., &c., Guernsey. The above was listened to with respectful silence, the gentlemen uncovering themselves. At its conclusion the town band, which was in attendance, struck up the national anthem, and three times three hurras made the welkin ring, the Lieutenant-Governor giving the time. His Excellency then said, that he could not let a post go without answering that letter. He would read them his answer, and if it did not meet their approbation, and if any individual, private or public, thought he could do it more justice, he would transmit it for him. His Excellency,then read the following answer:— Havilland Hall, Guernsey, Aug. 30, 1846. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the reception of your letter of the 28th inst., conveying her Majesty's sense of the affectionate loyalty with which her Ma jesty's was received upon the occasion of her late visit to this island. I will immediately cause this her Majesty's sentiment to be made known to the people of Gurnsey, and in their behalf as well as for myself, I express our profound feelings of gratification and pride, at this expression of her Majesty's sense of our humble but heartfelt efforts to display our attachment towards her Majesty's person and Government. I remain, Sir, Your most obedient and faithful servant, WILLIAM NAPIER, Right Hon. Sir G. Grey, &c. &c. &c. The meeting, after again and again cheering his Ex cellency, left the grouud every one seemingly highly de lighted with the results of this happy day. Most of the streets in town were decorated with an unusual number of flags. IRELAND. THE CORPORATION.-ADDRESS TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT. DUBLIN, Auc. 31.—At half-past two o'clock this day the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Town-Councillors pro ceeded to the Castle, for the purpose of presenting an address of congratulation to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, on his appointment as Viceroy of Ireland. The members of the Corporation were attired in their robes, and accompanied by the band of the Queen's Bays. The deputation, on arriving at the Castle, were immediately ushered into the presence of the Lord Lieu tenant, who was attended by the officers of the household in their robes of state. The Lord Mayor (John Keshan, Esq.) read the following address:— " TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE EARL OF BESBOROITGII, LORD LIEUTENANT AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND. " Address of the Right Hon. the►Loi d Mayor, Alder men, and Burgesses of Dublin. " May it please your Excellency,—We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the City of Dublin, in Common Council assembled, tender to your Excel lency our most sincere and cordial congratulations upon your Excellency's appointment to the exalted station of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. "In the delegation of the high authority of Chief Governor of Ireland to your Excellency—deservedly en deared to us as you are, by birth, family, and residence —we recognise an act in conformity with the desire which has been uniformly expressed by our beloved Sovereign towards this part of her kingdom, while your Excellency's reputation, experience, wisdom, and atten tion to the affairs heretofore committed to your charge, afford us the best grounds of assurance that this instance of her Majesty's favour will prove not less conducive to the interests of her Irish people, than it has been conge nial to their wishes, and gratifying to their feelings. " With pride we recognise in your Excellency a resi dent Peer of Ireland, and trust that your appointment to its government will prove the harbinger of measures which will place Ireland on a perfect equality with the more favoured parts of the empire ; and that when you render up to our beneficent Sovereign the high trust her Majesty has committed to your hands, you may retire from the administration of this country with the consciousness that your efforts for its peace, prosperity, and happiness have been crowned with success. " WM. FORD, Town Clerk." His Excellency bowed at the conclusion, and delivered the following reply : " My Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the City of llublin,—l thank you for the cordial manner in which yo•z have offered me your congratulations on my arrival in this country. "In accepting the important office to which her Majesty has been graciously pleased to appoint me, I am conscious of the deep responsibility of the duty which I have undertaken. " I rely, however, with confidence on the support that RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TRAFFIC ON METROPOLITAN LINES. The following is a synopsis of the number of passen ger trains daily leaving London:— THE GREAT WESTERN.—On this line of railway 19 trains start from the Paddington terminus. Of this num b-r 11 go through to Exeter, 5 not further than Bristol, 13 to Oxford, including one which starts from the Did cot Junction, 10 to Gloucester, 2 only as far as Reading, 3to Maidenhead, and 2to Slough. On Sundays the number is reduced to 9, five of which convey passengers through to Exeter, and the same number to OXford and Gloucester, 2 only as far as Slough, 1 to Maidenhead, and 1 to Reading. THE NORTH WESTERN (late London and Birmingham) North and South Branches, starts 22 trains daily from the Euston station. Of these 1 takes passengers through to Carlisle, by means of the Midland and North of Eng land Railways, 3 to Durham, 3 to Shields, 5 to New . - castle, 7 to York, 8 to Leeds, 4 to Derby by Birminghani, and 8 by Rugby, 7 to Manchester, 8 to Liverpool and Chester, 4 to Lancaster, 3 only as far as . Birmingham, 6 to Northampton and Peterborough, 4 not further than Rugby, 2 to Aylesbury, 1 to Tring, 1 to Blisworth, 1 to Watford, and 7 for Leamington and Warwick. On Sun days the number leaving London is reduced to 7. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON coneys passengers daily by 10 trains, of which 8 go through to Chichester, 1 not turther than Brighton, and one stops at Lewes. On Sundays only 4 trains are started. THE EASTERN COUNTIES (Cambridge line).—To the various places on this line no fewer than 22 trains are started daily from the Shoraditch station. Five of the number convey passengers through to Norwich and Yarmouth, 1 to Brandon, 2 not further than Ely, 1 to Cambridge, I to Wendon, 8 to Hertford, 1 to Brox bourn, and 3 not further than Waltham. On Sundays 10 trains are started. THE EASTERN COUNTIES (Colchester Line). —On this branch of the Eastern Counties 9 trains start daily, 6 go through to Ipswich, 1 not further than Colchester, and 2to Brentwood. On Sunday the number is reduced to 6,3 of which go the full distance, 1 to Chelmsford, and 2 to Brentwood. THE SOUTH-WESTERN.—OR this line 18 trains leave the Nine Elms Station, 11 proceeding through to South ampton and Gosport, and 7to Guildford. On Sundays, the number is reduced one-half, 5 of which go the whole distance. THE SOUTH-EASTERN.—There are ten trains started on this line from the London-bridge and Bricklayers' Arms stations daily through to Dover, but conveying passengers for all the branch lines. On Sundays the number is reduced to six. THE RICHMOND.—On this railway seventeen trains run daily, and on Sundays the number i 3 limited to ,hirteen. On the CROYDON and GREENWICH the trains run every hour (with four extra trains on the former) and every quater of an hour. IMPROVEMENTS ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES.—The directors of the decried Eastern Counties have at length come to resolutions of amendment, and have set vigor.. ously to work in reforming the faulty features of their line. We understand that within the last few months extensive improvements have been made on the Cam bridge and Colchester lines, the cost of which has amounted to upwards of half a million. Many of the accidents that occurred on these lines arose from an imperfect code of signals, more especially at night time; in fact some of the smaller stations were en tirely without them. Since that period, however, the entire property of the company has been fitted with patent semaphore signals, both to the up and down rails. At night they display most powerful discs, which can be seen, providing the weather is clear, full three miles distant. The whole of the stations have in other respects undergone a considerable alteration, and some of them have been entirely rebuilt, large warehouses being erected to every one of them, for the purpose of carrying on the goods traffic. At Ely extensive works are in progress in forming a kind of canal or dock near the line, while the station is being otherwise enlarged, to meet the increase of trade. At Cambridge a range of storehouses has been erected, and at Bishops Stortford the old station has been demolished, and in its place a fine commodious building has sprung up. The Hertford branch is being laid with a double line of rails, and in a few weeks will be thrown open to the public. On the Colchester line a beautiful station has been built, in the Elizabethan style, at Ingatestone. Its accommodations are of a very ample character, and it has every con venience for cattle. New stations have also been built at Brentwood and at Forest-gate, all of which appear, by a recent trip on the line, to be fitted with the necessary arrangements for the protection of the public. The elec tric telegraph is complete from London to Yarmouth, and in a few days it will be properly adjusted to Colchester and Ipswich. A double line of rails is to be forthwith laid down on the Thames Junction, so as to work the passenger traffic on to the N)rth Woolwich line, and which will be ready for opening in a few months. Addi tions have been and are being made at the goods depiit of the company in Bethnal-green; but the great im provement will be the erection of a new terminus in Bishopsgate, and the building of a general station, workshops, &c., at Stratford, the Acts for which were passed during the late session. The latter will be of great extent, and Mr. Hudson, M.P., chairman, with his co-directors, were engaged until late yesterday afternoon in completing the arrangements for its forma tion. The new terminus will be one: of the largest in the kingdom, and will extend a considerable way up and down Shoreditch. One portion will be devoted to the short traffic trains, and the other to the through traffic, whereby the inconvenience felt by the confined construction of the present station will be obviated. The parties working the signals undergo a strict examina tion as to their qualification for such an office before they are appointed. The rule is a very necessary one for the protection of the public, and the directors have placed a superintendent over them, who is solely en gaged in seeing that they fulfil their duties correctly. THE GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER.—This railway, in the hands of the South-Eastern Company, is about to undergo considerable improvement, by the introduction of a double instead of a single line as at present. For this purpose works of some magnitude will be required, more particularly within the tunnel, where the canal must be filled up. On Tuesday, Mr. Stephenson, the engineer of the South• Eastern, surveyed the line, arid it is proposed to close it about the first week in November, in order to accomplish the work. Arrangements have ben entered into with Messrs. Grissell and Peto for the purpose, and a great number of hands are to be em ployed, so as to ensure its completion within a given time, and under this arrangement it is calculated that the traffic will not experience an interruption of more than six weeks. In connexion with these works, it is also intended to proceed immediately with the line from Woolwich to Gravesend; and those to Maidstone, Chil ham, &c., will next engage the attention of the:company. POOR PEOPLE'S TRIP TO FLEETWOOD.—On Monday last the third annual trip of poor people left the Maud land station about eight o'clock. The number of per sons who were gratuitously accommodated was upwards of 1,500. This large number speaks well for the bene volence of the people of Preston, all the tickets having been purchased by parties, and afterwards presented to those who were supposed to be unable to pay for the en joyment of atiip to the sea side. Long before the hour of departure the station was crowded with a numerous concourse of poor people of both sexes; also a good num ber of " young 'uns." All along the line, and upon the bridges near the station, an immense number of persons were also assembled to witness the departure of the mon ster train that was to convey the parties to Fleetwood. One very interesting circumstance took place, which we are glad to record, namely, the arrival of Mr. Billing ton's omnibus, which had been engaged by Messrs. Hor rocks, Miller, and Co., to convey a number of aged and infirm persons to the station. About a quarter to nine o'clock the train, consisting of 44 carriages moved off amid the shouts of the spectators. A large number of flags and small union jacks were waved from the carriages, some of which were deco rated with evergreens ; on one of them was stationed the Rechabite band, and on another a number of casks and boxes containing provisions for the day. The train on its arrival at Fleetwood drew up on the quay, when the immense assemblage alighted and dispersed to enjoy themselves as they thought fit. About noon was the time for bathing, and the males were seen enjoying themselves and performing all sorts of manoeuvres in the briny element ; the females were accommodated at a low charge by the owners of the machines. Many en joyed themselves by short excursions in the small plea sure boats, all the steamers being at sea or ender repair, and the exhibition of Mr. Carte's rocket experiments was a great attraction. Soon after five o'clock the carriages were again filled with the numerous party, and in an other hour all were set down safely at the Maudland station, amid the welcome of the surrounding spectators. Nothing occurred during the whole day to mar the en joyment of the parties, and none seemed to have trans gressed the strict rules of sobriety, with the exception of one man and two women, out of upwards of 1,500 persons. The `'Pyre Company deserve our notice for providing comfortable carriages for so large a number at the very low prices they charged, namely, sixpence each there and back. Great praise is due also to the parties who have had the management of this trip, among whom we may name Mr. Joseph Liveaey, sen., Mr. Cartwright, Mr. fool, Mr. Walsh, Mr. Baxter, and others.—Freston Chronicle. DUNDALK AND ENNISKILLEN.—WO visited on Friday last the works of this company from Castleblayney to Dundalk, and it was very pleasing to observe the pro gress made and the activity with which the contractors are getting forward. In the vicinity of Castleblayney there are now about 700 men employed, and in the course of a fortnight a large number of additional hands will be put on, as the contractors will by that time have obtained possession of all the land on their contract. On Friday Mr. Kane, the solicitor, and Mr. Golding, one of the directors, met a number of the occupying STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, SEPT. I.—The continued firmness of the weather, and the animation prevailing in t'ae Liver pool colton market have both tended to give 'a stimulus to business in our market. The improvement in the de mand foor gooes, which was n ticed in the latter end of last week, has been fully mainta,ned to-day, awl the prices of various fabrics have slightly improved. For yarn, too, there is a much better demand, and a further improvement in the prices of those descriptions which had been relatively the most depressed. ROCHDALE, Ana. 31.—The demand for flannels re mains steady, at former prices. To-day we have had some London buyers in the markets, who must necessa rily purchase their goods at the warehouses of the large manufactursrs, as the pieces sold in the Blackwater roar- TA are in the grease. There is no alteration in. the wool market. IINDDERSFIELD, SEPT. I.—We have had rather a brisker market today, there being several buyers in. the trivia. The approach of the sales creates considerable dulness in the wool warehouses, but the present prices are expected to be maintained. LEEDS, SEP. I.—There is no alteration whatever to report about our this day's market, and things remain in the same state as last week.—Manchester Guardian. THE CONVICT SMlTn.—The petitions for the ex tension of the mercy of the Crown to Smith, now under sentence of death, will not be presented to the Homo Secretary till Friday. The jurymen who pronounced the verdict of " Guilty " have signed a short memorial again pressing their recommendation to mercy. A. de putation offered one of the petitions for signature to Mr. Alderman Wilson, the sitting magistrate at Guildhall, yesterday. The Alderman, alter reading it, affixed his name. The Lord Mayor has also intimated his willing ness to sign it.
