Excesses are always inittriOUS ; the gift , which wh e n ab I n moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, wnen .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less In j ur y to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on tbe nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, Ore Productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, e aah any other to which it is subject. This work contains au accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly 'venires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physicl capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy •ricthn of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired " early Ilte or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering trona their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are Beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can he procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of aLsease, symp athy with the sufferer, and, above all. secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse , sion of the requisite legal ,qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes atonal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

LADIES, during the heat and dust of Summer, will find ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshing pre paration for the complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and re laxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately afford ing the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the skin. Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free from all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful in its effects, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR tends to neutralise the action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promote that healthy action of the microscopic vessels, by which its general well being and the beauty of its appearance are so essentially promoted. Freckles, tan, spots, pimples, flushes, and discoloratiens, fly before its application, and give place to delicate smoothness, and the glow of beauty and of bloom. In cases of sun-burn, or stings of insects, its virtues have long been acknowledged. Beware of spurious " Kalydors" for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is imperative on purchasers to see that the words. " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper, and " A. ROWLAND SON, 20, Hatton-garden," also engraved (by desire of the Hon. Commissioners) on the Government Stamp affixed on each bottle. Price 4s. Gd. and Bs. Gd. Sold by the Proprietors, and by all Chemists and Perfumers. F OR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH. Price 2s. 6d.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does zot re,quire the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness sad social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

Hours of consultation from Eleven till Two, and Six to Elleht , n the Evening THE CHARTISTS. — Two public meetings were held last night, one at the South-London Chartist llall, Webber • street, Blackfriars, and the other at Islington, the last being the assemblage of the members of the " People's Charter Union." At each the various speakers advocated the people's charter in the usual strain, but seemed careful to avoid any thing that might be called " sedition." ::~i,:~;~r:. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. I The contemplated visit of Lord John Russell to this country is the subject of abundant speculation here, and minute details are published,,regarding not only the objects of his Lordship's journey, but also of his intended route. The most circumstantial statement that has appeared is the following, from the London correspondent of the Freeman's Journal. It is dated Saturday night:— " Lord John Russell announced to his colleagues, at a Cabinet Council held this afternoon at Downing-street, that he purposed starting for Ireland on Thursday next. The Premier, accompanied by his lady, daughter of the Earl of Minto, has made arrangements for leaving London by the express train, via Holyhead, so that unless some unforeseen accident should occur, you will, in the course of Friday, have amongst the good citizens of the Irish metropolis the leader of that Ministry which proposed, and carried by immense majorities, four coercion Bills for Ireland, in the compara tively brief space of nine months. I am enabled to inform vou that the Premier intends passing some few days with you Clarendon, either at Dublin Castle, or the Viceregal Lodge; that he then dashes into the heart of the country, with the view of ascertaining from personal - observation the state of the harvest, the extent of the potato failure, and the condition of the peasantry ; and that, having derived sash -information as he considers necessary towards enabling him to judge of the actual relief that may be required at the hands of Government in the ensuing winter for the sustenta tion of the Irish people, and the prevention of famine, he will proceed on the 16th or 17th of September to join her Majesty at Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, probably embarking for the land o' cakes' at Belfast, or some other northern port. Until Lord John Russell reaches the royal party, Sir George Grey, ecretary of State for the Home Department, will remain in attendance on the Queen. " During the period that the Prime Minister has arranged to pass with the Queen's representative in Ireland, I believe no doubt whatever exists—at least such is the prevailing impression among political men .having access to sources of information generally found correct—that he will express to Lord Clarendon the desire of her Majesty's Ministers to se cure the complete and permanent pacification of Ireland by gracious concessions; and, as I communicated last night , I have excellent authority for thinking that one of the prin cipal features of this consultation between the Viceroy and the First Minister of the Crown will be the expediency of granting an amnesty to all concerned in ihe recent rebellion. The Queen has expressed herself in favour of such an exten sion of the Royal prerogative, if her Ministers believed that it could' be carried out with certainty of thereby laying a safe foundation for improving the social and political condition of the country. The people ,of England unequivocally express their conviction that the future security and tranquillization of Ireland would be best provided for by such a master-stroke of policy; and the leading members of the Government have sufficient wisdom to see that in a land covered with troops, and held by military occupation only—with the prisons crowded, the peasantry starving, and thousands of unexe cuted warrants in the hands of the police for months, the effect of a general pardon for political offences could not prove otherwise than calculated to lessen their difficulties, and certainly a material consideration with the Whigs, to prolong their tenure of office. It remains to be ascertained whether Lord Clarendon reciprocates those views. He will be a bold man indeed it be should run counter to the will of his Royal Mistress, his colleagues, and his own countrymen. But it is right I should state that unless Lerd John Russell calculated on the most distinct and positive assurance from the leaders now incarcerated against future infraction of the law or instigation to revolt, he would not hold out the shadow of hope to those who had committed themselves by their want of foresight, prudence, and discretion." Mr. Meagher is quite restored to health. He was at tacked with a heavy cold of a feverish appearance, which gave way before medical advice. He had not fever, as was reported. MORE ARRESTS. On Saturday night twenty-one more of the Bailin garry insurgents were brought up from Thurles, and lodged in Kilmainham gaol. The Tralee Chronicle gives the following account of another arrest ARREST OF MR. Jusrmr SUPPLE.—We had hoped, see ing that those men who formed the Exile Club had dissolved, in obedience to the law, and vindicated as that law had been elsewhere, that in this county, for the peaceful and loyal disposition of the majority of whose inhabitants we think We may vouch, no arrests would take place. We are sorry, however, to state, that Mr. Justin Supple, solicitor; and one of the coroners for this county, was arrested at three o'clock yesterday morning, by Sub-Inspector Wyse, Head- Constable Willis, and Constable Sheehan, and imnrdiately conveyed to our gaol. Mr. Supple, who was taken from the connubial bed, was treated with every kindness, and the arrest was made in the most delicate manner. A .search was made for arms, but none were found; neither was there anything of a treasonable character discovered among his papers, of which an active scrutiny took place. The war rant sets forth for being concerned in treasonable practices, and on suspicion of being guilty of high treason against her Majesty the Queen, and rumour has it that those proceed ings on the part of the authorities have been based on a letter of Mr. Supple's found among Mr. Smith O'Brien's papers. Other arrests in the town and neighbourhood are spoken of." Mr. JOHN S. LALOR.—In reference to the reported arrest of Mr. John Shee Lalor, the Tralee Chronicle says—" The Limerick Chronicle was wrong in stating that Mr. J. S. Lalor was arrested last week in Kenmare. Mr. Lalor is now in Killarney, and by no means apprehensive of duresse, having, though the president of a club, set his face against the late insane movement of Smith O'Brien. The rumour must have arisen out of the fact; that in consequence of his son being refused arms by the Bench in Bantry, Mr. Lalor had sent Mr. Thomas Gallwey with a hostile message to Mr. Sheilds, 8.M., which that gentleman, upon being called upon, while on the bench, for an interview, warned him not to deliver. On Friday last articles of bail, himself in 5004 and two sure ties in 2501. each, were exhibited against Mr. Lalor, in Kil ler ey." ' DEPARTURE OF THE FLERT.—The squadron on "parti cular service," under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., was detached from the immediate orders of Rear-Admiral the Hon. H. D. Mackey, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief on the Irish station. The ships belong ing to this fleet in Cove Harbour sailed out on Thursday. They were the St. Viircnt, 120, bearing the flag of the Rear- Admiral Sir Charles Napier; Prince Regent; 90 ; Bellerophon, 78 ; Frolic, 16 ; Helena, 16 ; Tweed, 10 ; Amphion, screw steamer, 32 ; Stromboli steamer , 6 ; Lucifer steamer,3..Each vessel fired five guns as she left the harbour.—Cork Constitu tion. SALE or Mn. DTIFFY's PROPELTY.—This interesting sale was brought to a conclusion on Saturday by Mr. Dillon. The anxiety manifested on the preceding days was not at all abated. The attendance on Saturday was numerous and re spectable. The day's sale commenced with the library, and then followed the prints, &c. As remarked in a former pub lication, it would be quite impossible to enter on the details of the auction. The books brought very high prices, especi ally those containing Mr. Duffy e autograph.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.—A murder of an infan by its mother, accompanied by the suicide of the latter, occurred at Worksworth, Derbyshire, on Friday. A respectable married female, the wife of a master cooper named Ford, having on the day named, pariaken of breakfast with her husband, went upstairs with the ap parent intention of making the beds, but remaining longer than usual, an inmate proceeded to ascertain the cause of the delay, but was horror-struck on perceiving the unfortunate woman in a pool of blood, dead on the floor, and her child of the age of two months also dead in the same room—both mother and infant exhibiting dreadful gashes in the throat, no doubt inflicted by the unhappy woman. Ford, the husband, is a steady and industrious man, and no cause can at present be assigned for the dreadful occurrence. IMrORTAKT SALE Or LANDED ESTATES NEAR YORK.-The abersfon freehold estate, consisting of a residence, small park, farms, woods. and a large tract of waste moor land, the whole 12,600 acres, situate be tween York and Scarborough, was brought to the hammer, at the George Inn, York, on Friday last, by Messrs. Farebrother, Clark, and Lye. The rental of the estate, after deducting the out-goings and allowance to tenants for tithe, leaves 5,7601. per annum, and was sold in two lots, after a spirited competition, to W. W. Caley, Esq., for 190,0001. A second lot, consisting of a freehold farm-house, and 5G acres of chiefly moor land, was sold to Captain Corns at 7001.

FIRE AT EAST SiurrurtELD.—Sunday night, between nine and ten o'clock, considerable alarm was caused in Upper East Smithfield, by a sudden outbreak of a fire upon the premises in the occupancy of Mr. Dratchan Laydon, a clothier and slop-seller, carrying on business in Parson's -street, a few doors from the corner of Wells street. Several engines arrived in quick succession, and in less than an hour the fire was entirely extinguished, but not until the stock in trade was totally consumed, the lower part of the premises burned out, , and the re mainder materially damaged by fire and water. How the fire originated could not be ascertained, neither could it be learned whether or not the sufferer was in sured.t Committee ,:ee, REPRESENTATION Emev r pel void, Berkeley, SATURDAY.—The :s o uE k ahi inuN a p pdnTs AsA a edycTaaee. again The occupants of the house were all absent when unseating CHELTENHAM.ihnretrgehdteet thehc isi t l ) a n e n s w . t o n f l niehtceet Parliamentary rl C i a l L E e L n T t E a N r CravenaonEf feverishei t r zla ar d state i ng Chelten hame of excitement, and increased the previous bitterness of party feeling.

PonTsmourfr, SuNDAT.-I;sterday, at twelve o'clock, the flag-ship and platform battery fired royal salutes in honour of Prince Albert's birthday; the ships dressed. Dr. Sir W. Burnett, the Director-General of the Medical Department of the Navy, has been making his annual in spection of the medical departments connected with this port during the past week. In the future survey of war-steamers it is ordered by the Admiralty that a joint report by the Surveyor of the Navy and of the Controller of Steam Machinery departments shall be made to them, each fully co-operating with the other. Mr. Blake's splendid new 52-gun frigate Leander, in ordi nary at this port, is ordered to be advanced for the pendant.: The Termagant, screw steam-frigate, of 1,650 tons, and 620-horse power, designed by White, of Cowes, and intended to carry twenty-four heavy guns, arrived here yesterday morning in charge of Mr. Bellamy, recently appointed Master Attendant of Woolwich Dockyard, vice Elson, de ceased. An accident which was very near being attended with disastrous consequences, occurred immediate]) on her entering the harbour. The floating bridge which crosses every fifteen minutes throughout the day, between Ports mouth and Gosport, was about one-third over from the latter shore when the Termagant made her appearance at the mouth of the harbour, with the pilot jack at her fore. She was not visible before in consequence of a thick mizzling, misty rain, which had been falling. The conductor of the steam-bridge, it is thought, fancied he would be able to get far enough over towards Portsmouth to be clear of the fairway before the frigate got in, and consequently did not stop and work back, as is the custom in such cases. The consequence was, that the Termagant's helm was obliged to be put to starboard to avoid a collision, which must have been fatal to the bridge, and most probably all on board. The Lightning steam-tender, Master Petley com mander, had just come into the harbour, with about 100 military invalids from the Belleisle and Resistance troop ships, and, as usual, had tak en hold of one of the transport ing buoys just inside the track of the floating bridge. The change of direction in the Termagant's course threw her directly on the Lightning, and although her way was con siderably deadened, and her anchors let go as soon as the danger was perceived, she struck the Lightning on the port paddle-box and crushed it to atoms. The conse quences would have been horrible had she struck her with any force, as the Lightning must have gone down, when there is-little doubt nearly- all her invalid freight would have perished. A Dutch vessel and the schooner Gipsy Queen (the yacht of Sir H. Houghton) are reported consi derably damaged by the same collision. All the necessary repairs have been ordered to be done at the expense of the dockyard. The Advice steam mail-packet, Lieutenant-Commander Petch, arrived from Pembroke yesterday. She is ordered to Deptford to be paid off, and will take thither some riggers who assisted in navigating the Termagant to this port. The Otter and Sprightly packets were paid off yesterday. ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY. —Captain Langley's com pany proceeds to Chatham on Tuesday to relieve Captain Logan's company, in command there.—Lieutenant Draffen goes on the same day to Woolwich to relieve Lieutenant Alexander, ordered to return to head-quarters for embarka tion. MONDAY.—The Dauntless steam-frigate, of 1,496 tons and 580-horse power, a new ship built by Fincham, was taken out to-day for her first regular official trial trip at the measured mile, in Stoke's-bay, under the superintend ence of Captain Horatio Austen, C. 8., the superintendent of the steam squadron at this port. The following officers were also on board :—Captain Halsted, Commander Crispin, Mr. Murray, superintendent engineer of this dockyard ; Mr. Baker, chief engineer of the royal yacht, inspector of machinery afloat ; Mr. Smith, inspector of screw propellers ; and Mr. Fincham, the builder of the vessel. She went out at half past eight, and remained cruising to and fro between Spit head and Cowes until nearly seven o'clock, when she re turned into harbour. Taking the mean of her three first runs, she made 7.715 knots, after which she increased to 8.2, making 261, revolutions as the maximum. It is consi dered that with a very trifling re-adjustment of her machi nery she will make a knot and a half more per hour. The Diamond, 28 guns, built at Sheerness dockyard, on the design of the late Surveyor of the Navy, under the superintend ence of Messrs. Atkins, Watts, and Reed, the successive mas ter shipwrights of the above yard, is to be launched to-day about twelve o'clock. The Tribune, a sister vessel to the Diamond, will in a short time be laid down upon the same slip. The Encounter, new sloop of the first class, to be propelled by a screw with 360-horse power, will be taken out of dock and advanced for commission at Portsmouth this day, when the screw-sloop Rattler will take her place, to have her pe riodical examination made by the steam department. Tiii ROYAL Yove.GE.—lier Majesty's sea-service:steam yacht, the Victoria and Albert, is ordered to be taken from the harbour at Portsmouth to Cowes this day, where the royal luggage, &c., will be shipped for the intended voyage to Scotland, with which the yacht will leave for Woolwich to morrow morning. The Fairy steam-yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzcla rence, proceeded down the Southampton Water yesterday with the royal standard at her mast-head ; it is believed her Majesty and the royal family were on board. The Adelaide schooner, Lieutenant Forbes, R.N., com mander, to be fitted as a steamer, for the service of the Co lonial Government of Port Adelaide, South Australia, has had her machinery landed, which will be sent out for her in another ship. She was removed from the fitting dock yes terday, and put into the boson at Portsmouth, where she will complete her fitment for the voyage. The packet service having been discontinued at Pembroke, Commander Dunn has received notice from the Admiralty that his services will be no longer required. Commander Bevis remains at Liverpool superintending the contract packet service ; but a great reduction has been made in the establishment there. The Admiralty have ordered the account of the expenses in repairing the Dover packets at Woolwich to be kept sepa rate from the accounts of other vessels in her Majesty's ser vice. Their Lordships have called for the expense of refit ting the packets for the last six months. Judging from the frequency of their overhauling and repairing this will form an important item in dockyard work. A reduction of 8,000/. is to be made in the wages of the shipwright department at Woolwich this year, and no less than 20,0001. in wages, &c., for the factory establishment. On the decease of Mr. Elson, the master attendant of Woolwich Dockyard, being reported to the Admiralty, their Lordships, in a letter of condolence, expressed their regret at the loss to the service of so valuable and highly respected an officer. The Admiralty have called on the dockyard authorities to report the result of any experiments which have at any time been made with Smith's galvanised wire rigging. The Formidable, 84, to be the advanced line-of-battle ship, to be kept ready at Sheerness, with her m asts stepped, will be taken out of dock in November. The Pembroke, 72, will be taken out of Dock at Ports- mouth on the 31st October. The Canopus, 84, at Devonport, was reported to be com pleted by the shipwrights, as an advanced ship, by the 27th. The Cambridge, 78, repairing at Devonport, it is reported, will be completed by the 14th October. The Benbow, 72, one of the ships selected for fitting up as a cholera hospital, is ordered to be sent up to Woolwich im mediately, and another ship is to be selected at Sheerness, for coast-guard gunnery practice. The Vindictive, 50, Actseon, 26, and Fantome, 16, are or dered by the Admiralty to have their defects made good at Portsmouth at the earliest opportunity—the Vindictive to be the first taken in hand. The Amazon, 26, repairing at Devonport;will be complethl by the shipwrights by the 16th September. The Edinburgh, 72, at Portsmouth, is to be fitted as a screw steam-guardship, on a plan suggested by Lord John Hay, the expense of converting which will, it is said, be within a twenty-fifth of the cost of converting the Blenheim according to Mr. Eyde's plan. There is no intention of converting the I'rincess Charlotte, 104, into a steam-guard ship. The Hogue, 56 screw guardship, is to be undocked at Dir. Green's on the 15th September. The Ajax, 56, steam-guardship at P or tsmouth, is to be rigged, but the Admiralty have not y e t decided whether With iron rope. The Firebrand, steam-frigate, at Woolwich, is to be fitted with new boilers, and will be ready in the engineers depart ment by the 15th November. The Cormorant, steam-sloop, will be taken out of dock at Portsmouth, on the 31st inst. The Basilisk, steam-sloop, launched at Woolwich, is 1 0 have her machinery fitted without delay. The following are her dimensions:— Feet. Inches • 190 0 ... 166 yi ... 34 5 • 33 5 1.... 5 65•~ Length below the perpendiculars Length of keel for tonnage ... Breadth of extreme ..

The Medina, steam -packet, refitting at W oo l w i ch, will be ready in the engineer's department by the Ist of October. Messrs. Forrester of Liverpool, are to repair the boilers at their own cost. The Hermes, steam -vessel, Martin, master, arrived at De vonport, from P o rtsmouth, on Thursday, embarked super numeraries, and sailed for Cork.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES. Sir,—As one who has trodden the shores of Van couver's Island, and who knows its value sufficiently to appreciate it, I trust you will give me a place in your columns. I read with pleasure your leading article of this morning, as I was afraid you were going to pass over in silence the most interesting subject of Friday night's debate, in which the Right Hon. Member for the University of Oxford has so ably brought before the public a case of such vital importance to the interests of this country. We hear on every side cries for relief, and we are told that emigration is the only possible provision for the universal distress, and yet, in the face of all this, we see an island nearly equal in extent to England, most admirably suited to the wants and constitutions of Englishmen, and so situated as to become the watch tower of the Pacific, consigned to oblivion by being granted to a company who for nearly 200 years have held the- most despotic sway over a tract of country nearly equal in extent to ourlndian possessions. Have they made such rapid advances in civilization as to sanction the existence of such a monopoly at this ad vanced stage of the 19th century? No, their motto is statu quo. They have nothing to show, it is their in terest to show nothing, Sufficient argument has been advanced by Mr. Glad stone to prove that the Hudson's Bay Company are unfit to colonize; not one statement which he has made can they refute; he has even dealt leniently with them, they know it, and no doubt rejoice at getting so easily out of an ugly scrape. On the other hand, to meet those arguments of the Right Hon. Gentleman, great exaggerations have escaped the lips of the Government supporters; the Under Secretary for the Colonies uses the following expression—" that they have at this mo ment a very flourishing settlement on Vancouver's Island." Let your readers judge whether that settle ment deserves the appellation which Mr. Hawes has given it, being in reality a wooden enclosure of some 200 feet square, occupied by two Englishmen, two half breeds, and three or four Canadians, with their Indian wives. He likewise dilates upon the high encomiums passed by the American Exploring Expedition on the internal management of the company. originating in some passing compliments, perhaps unwillingly admitted by Captain Wilkes, in return for some interested acts of courtesy which he received during his short stay in their territory. But, not only this, he would lead you to be lieve that the American Commodore had visited the Red River, and that he described it as a settlement " ad vancing in civilization and flourishing;" but the Hon. Member forgot to state how the Commodore got his squadron across the Rocky Mountains. The less that is said about the Red River settlement the better; it is not a free settlement, and a most dis graceful specimen of British colonization; and as for the Puget's Sound Association it is a bugbear. Mr. Buller has made rather a miscalculation as to the voyage out to Vancouver's Island and the expenses at tending it, but it is to be presumed that he does not know much of those matters. He has taken a very illiberal view, too, of colonization i❑ general, and seems to think that New Holland, New Zealand, and the Cape of Good Hope should be "filled" before emigration to Vancou ver's Island should bo encouraged. lam sorry to say we have too long practised an erroneous system of emigra tion; it has been, in fact, a species of transportation, and not free emigration. We ought to take a hint on this subject from our brethren on the other side of the At- 1 lantic, not force our countrymen to colonize against their will, on Mr. Buller's principle, by sending a family to New Holland who preferred the Cape, or to New Zealand who preferred Vancouver's Island. " Do to others as you would be done by;" do not shut out to the emigrating community a most desirable colony. I say shut out, for that under the jurisdiction of the Hudson's Bay Company it is so to all intents and pur poses, time will show. Why should they have roused from their slumbers after such a long snooze, and taken such a colonising fit into their heads? The problem is soon solved. Because they found that energetic indivi duals were about to confer a lasting benefit on their country by founding the nucleus of a future generation on the distant shores of Vancouver's Island, and they knew that the first dawn of civilisation in that quarter would be the signal for them to quit, so they made a bold effort; and although they have carried their point, certainly not with flying colours, yet I venture to predict that before eleven years of probation have expired, or even the first term of five years, the Government will repent their bargain, and be wiser by half on this subject than they are at present, although, as usual, John Bull will have to " fork out" for the ex perience. In conclusion, I only regret that the Noble Lord at the head of the Government should know so little about Vancouver's Island, or have so little respect for Ameri can citizens as to think that they would make a piratical descent upon the island, while he was obtaining the requisite information to justify his disposing in such a summary manner of an immense tract of her Majesty's I I dominions. If it is any satisfaction to the Noble Lord, I can assure him that even " should dire war spread death around," the Americans are as likely to invade Iceland as Vancouver's Island, as they have got more territory than they can well take care of for many years to come. OCULAR DEMONSTRATION. - - PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF THE IRISH FISHERIES BILL. 1. Because a Bill of this nature, dealing with various and conflicting rights, ought not to have been forced forward for the adoption of Parliament in the absence of nearly every Peer connected with Ireland and at a period when it is im possible to give the subject due consideration. 2. Because the Bill is founded on a principle not only un precedented, but indefensible; oppressive and discretionary powers of taxation being vested, not in the owners of pro perty, but in conservators, chosen by persons who may for the most part possess no property whatsoever, and whose only qualification is the payment of a license duty for the use of a fishing rod or net. 3. Because a system of annual election by a constituency not required to possess a property qualification cannot fail to lead to confusion, mismanagement, and strife, when applied to the government of a district which, like that of the Shannon, may extend for several hundred miles. 4. Because the imposition of an annual license duty levi able from the poorer class of fishermen, and exceeding the total value of the cats and nets employed by them, is grievous and oppressive ; calculated to deprive many honest and industrious persons of their means of livelihood at a time of unexampled distress, and which cannot fail to pro duce just discontent, leading to acts of violence and resist ance to the law. 5. Because the imposition of an invariable tax on all Scotch weirs, without any reference to their relative value, is unjust and unequal, and will in many instances act as a prohibition against a mode of fishery, which in Ireland as well as in Great Britain has been found profitable and pro ductive, and is a violation of all the rights of property. 6. Because the power of levying a tax of 10 per cent. on the rated value of any description of fishery is iniquitous and unjust, and is the less defensible at a period when Parlia ment has withheld its assent from an additional property-tax. of 2 per cent., though stated by responsible Ministers to be required by the exigencies of the State. 7. Because the appointment by Act of Parliament of the Inspectors of Fisheries to hold- the additional office of Com missioners, is inconsistent with all sound principles of admi nistration, the same individuals being called on to discharge conflicting duties, to issue orders as Commissioners, to exe cute those orders as inspectors, and, finally, * decide and to report on the manner in which they have themselves exe cuted their ministerial duties. S. Because it is not shown, or even suggested, that this extraordinary Bill has been sanctioned or recommended by the Commissioners of Irish Fisheries, the official functionaries appointed under a recent statute to report annually to the Legislature and to Parliament on this subject. 9. Because on these grounds the Bill is unwise and unjust, oppressive to the poor, partial -in its bearing on the more wealthy, destructive, to industry, and inconsistent with the -rights of property, and :is therefore likely to create . lust feeling's of discontent in Ireland, when that country is made ihc the subject and the victim of a legislative experiment which in rela te i o o u n l d t o n tehv er an h a a l v o e g o b u e e s n i n p ti o i r P o e s as s t s e rr d o E f A G ' n G r u e c L a h E t B le o ri F s tal ß a n r . R n A e DON. WINDSOR, SUNDAY EvEt!ailG.—The birth- day of his Royal Highness the Prinpe Cotisort was celebrated in Windsor yesterday with the customary demonstra tions of loyalty; the ringing of the joy-bells in the tower of both church' and castle; the firing of royal salhtes by the guns of the Belvidero Battery in the Great Park, re echoed britie - Corporation guns in the Bachelor's-acre; by a public dinner in the Town-tall, plentifully supplied with venison fiom th 6 Great Park, and choice fruit from the royal fruit gardens adjoining the grounds at :Frog more House, The principal inns and the houses of the royal tradesmen were splendidly illuminated after sun set; and to-morrow the festivities are, to be continued, by another public dinner at the Royal Adelaide Hotel, in the vicinity of the LOng-Walk, ,with a brilliant dis play of fireworks, salvoes of artillery, Ste. THE ROYAL VISIT TO BALMORAL—We have now the gratification of being able to announce that arrangements are being made for her Majesty's 'visit to the north, which will take place very early- in September. The royal visitors will proceed directly to Aberdeen, and will land, it is believed,. on the quay of the harbour, immediately below Regent bridge. It is proposed, that should the tide not be suitable at the time when. the royal fleet approaches Aberdeen, it shall lie to in the Frith of Tay, so as to arrive here exactly at high water. Her Majesty will be accompanied by a com paratively small retinue, and it is understood that it is not the intention of the royal party to make a lengthened stay at Balmoral at present, the sole object of the visit being to inspect the lately acquired royal residence there. It is ex pected that the whole trip will be accomplished in ten or fourteen days. Inquiries have been made as to the facilities of posting up Dee-side, and the number of horses to be or dered is quite beyond the wants of any party of less rank than royalty itself. Professional orders, to be executed im mediately, have been received by several of her Majesty's tradesmen in Aberdeen. The House Steward arrived in Aberdeen on Tuesday night, from Osborne, where he had waited on her Majesty, and received her commands as:to the necessary arrangements for the reception of the royal party. We are happy to learn that the necessary arrangements for the debarkation of her Majesty and suite in this harbour can be satisfactorily made.—Aberdeen Herald. THE TRICKS OF FLYING STATIONERS.—On the morning which had been fixed upon for the execution of Burton, at Huntingdon, a packet of tolerable size arrived at the station that town, directed to some one unknown; and an it was not called for at the end of ten days it was opened, found o t n o f e contain o f a C I a h r a g r e l e s q B u a u e r t t i o t n y , , of the ready for‘ l a sitmdmyiendgi immediate ec cir culation, but which the respite he had received rendered valueless. L L• wedread .03dgor IMPROVEMENT IN PRINTING. A new printing machine has recently been produced in America, the invention of Colonel Hoe, a partner in a well-known engineering house in New York. This machine seems quite novel in its working, and is called by the Americans, " Hoe's Last Fast Press." The fol lowing description of the working of the machine is from the Philadelphia Ledger : " The essential principle of difference between this last invention and all other kinds of presses or machines hitherto used consists in the fact that while upon those the types are locked up with ' quoins' and a mallet and shooting-stick,' in a chace, and laid flat upon a bed' of iron, the surface of which is flat; with this one the types are screwed up with a wrench, in what our compositors are pleased to denomine a turtle,' consti tuting both bed and chace, and placed upon a large cy linder, four and a half feet in diameter, more or less, which revolves upon its own axle within four other smaller cylinders, the fourth part the size of the larger one, these revolving also upon their own axles in an op posite direction. "Each one of these smaller cylinders receives from its supplying attendant the sheet of paper with which, at every fourth revolution, it meets the form or turtle' of typo as it comes round, and in passing, gives the im pression, and instantly throws it out into the receiver's hands, above or below, according to the relative position of the cylinder. ''Surrounding the large inner cylinder, to which the form of type is attached, and between those giving the impression, are placed the inking rollers, which spread the ink upon the face of the typo as it revolves under them. There are two of these to each cylinder. The inking fountain is placed entirely underneath the ma chine, from which the ink is constantly drawn by means of a continually revolving small iron cylinder, forming itself a part of the fountain. From this the ink is taken up by means of small rollers, with a small vibrating dis tributor, working in connection with them, and is con veyed to the surface of the large cylinder, the entire cir cumference of which, except that section of it occupied by the form of type, performs in its revolution the office of both distributor and feeder to the eight inking rollers, from which latter the types receive their supply direct. " With two of the cylinders the white paper is fed in above, and the printed sheets are thrown out below, and with the other two it is fed in below and thrown out above. The room taken up by the machine, paper boards, and all included, is about sixteen feet in length, and nine feet high by about five feet in breadth. The types used upon it are the ordinary types hitherto used upon the Ledger, which are made to assume a circular form in the make up ' by the use of bevelled column rules. " For the attendance of this press ten persons are re quired—viz., a superintendent and an assistant, and four to feed sheets in, and four to receive them as they come out. This is the same number only that have been re quired to attend the two presses heretofore used in printing the Ledger." —edger. - Thismachine, according to the Ledger, is capable of throwing off twelve thousand impressions an hour with the same amount of labour as that bestowed on those in ordinary nse at the same office, and which are stated to be the best that - could be produced. The invention is certainly one of great importance, and may be the means of producing great changes in periodical lite rature. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. Among the many attractions at this institution we have been much gratified with a lecture, accompanied by a working model, on the now hydro-carbon gas appa ratus, patented by Mr. Stephen White, which is ex hibited in the theatre, for the manufacture of gas from water and common tar, or resin, &c. The invention appears to be a very valuable one, and is ably explained .in its various points by Dr. Ryan. The apparatus consists of three retorts placed in a stove, two of which are filled with charcoal and thin pieces of iron, and the other with iron chains hanging from a centre bar. The two first retorts are for the decom position of water, which is regularly supplied by means of a syphon-pipe passing through and into the centre of the retort; the water in passing through the heated material becomes converted into pure hydrogen and per-oxide of carbon. It then passes into the third retort to receive its dose of bi-carburet of hydrogen, which is prepared from common tar, resin, or similar substances, passing or dropping on the red hot chain, from a syphon tube which regulates its supply. This causes the tar, or melted resin, to throw off an abund ance of bi-earburet of hydrogen gas. The gases being mixed in this manner, are immediately conveyed into the gasometer for use, without any purifying vessels whatever, none being required. The great advantages arising from this invention ap pear to be, the small, simple, and cheap apparatus re quired, and the beautiful, clear, and bright light pro duced, surpassing the ordinary coal gas ; also, its perfect purity, being free from any nuisance in its manufacture, and above all, so pure and innoxious that it may be burnt in any private room without the least ill effects or smoke resulting from it. The apparatus may be used and the gas made in any private mansions, churches, or manufactories, and on any scale, from 5 to 1,000 lights or more, as well as for cities and towns. As a sanitary measure it cannot be too highly appreciated, when we consider the thou sands who inhale the poisonous fumes, con sisting of sulphuric acid, sulphurous acid gas, ammonia, &c., given off by the ordinary coal gas, not only affecting the health of a mass of indivi duals, but injuring jewellers', silversmiths', and drapers' goods, books, prints, pictures, furniture, and a variety of other articles. This gas can be made and supplied at a price considerably less than that of coal gas. Thus we see accomplished the foretelling of that eminent chemist and philosopher, the late Sir Humphrey Davy, " that at some future time gas would be generated from water for general purposes, surpassing coal gas in brilliancy and purity." , All who may be interested in the public health, as well as the scientific, may spend an hour at the Polytechnic, and hear this lecture and explanation of the invention. Besides the foregoing, we must once more make par ticular allusion to the lectures delivered by Isham Beggs, Esq., on the connexion between the Asiatic cholera and the electrical condition of the atmosphere. The subject of itself, connected as it is so intimately with the health of the community, has in a marked manner arrested the observation of the frequenters of the institution, and treated as it has been by the fluent eloquence of Mr. Baggs, the history of the great scourge of the nineteenth century has acquired an additional fascination. From an announcement made by the lecturer him self, it appears that the hypothesis of a connexion between electricity and cholera originated in the mind of John Howard Elyan, Esq., whose name has long been familiar not only to the world of science but to society at large, from his important discoveries as to the prevention of decay in timber. Originated by Mr. Ryan and deve loped by Mr. Baggs, we trust that the mysteries of this remarkable theory will be thoroughly investigated before the arrival of the Asiatic cholera on the shores of England. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.--On Friday, Mr. George Sinclair, a master baker. residing at Strood, having spent the evening, as was his usual custom, with a party of friends at the Watermill Tavern, near the terminus of the Graves end and Rochester Railway, left that house about eleven o'clock on his return home, and about two o'clock in the morning search having been made for him in consequence of his unaccountable absence, the body was found lay a police-constable in the adjoining mill-pond, into which he had accidentally fallen, the accident, as is supposed, hav ing arisen from his having walked into the water by mis take, in consequence of the darkness of the night. Au in quest was held on Saturday before Mr. Lewis, Coroner for Rochester, and a verdict of " Found drowned " was re turned, the jury at the same time severely animadverting on the insecure state of the embankment round the mill pond. SANITARY REFORM, ST. MARTIN'S PARISH. A public meeting, convened according to the announcement bill by the St. Martin's Sanitary Committee, for the purpose of promoting public health, but evidently convened in reality by Mr. C. Cochrane, for the purpose of promoting his own private interest or political influence, was held last night at the Rose and Crown, in Drury-lane. Mr. Cochrane arrived shortly after eight o'clock, when there were about four per sons present, two of whom.had a few minutes before engaged in a personal altercation, one accusing the other of smelling strongly of ale. Mr. Cochrane proposed that the accuser should take the chair, but after a moment's reflection, he in ducted another person, a Mr. Spiller, into the seat of honour. The chairman was evidently not at home in his position, and was about to seat himself when the following scene occurred : —Mr. Cochrane (to a person present)—" Would you like to speak ?" No answer. " Would you—would you !" Still no answer. At length one of the disputautsirt the previonscon test rose. He commenced by observing (looking in a me nacing manner towards his opponent), " I'll break that chap's wrap before he's many days older." This observation seas checked by Mr. Cochrane, and the speaker went on in a more regular strain. Mr. Cochrane afterwards addressed the meet. tug, and stated some appalling facts connected with the sani tary state of the metropolis, and a resolution was agreed to appointing a district committee. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Yes terday the half-yearly general meeting of the governors of this valuable charity, instituted to provide, maintain, and educate the orphans of seamen in the merchant service, was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the pur pose of electing six boys and six girls into the asylum. Captain Embleton, who presided, announced the names of the successful candidates immediately after tho termination of the polling. The children elected, added to those pre viously admitted, will make the number of orphans now in the asylum amount to 97—there being 65 boys, and 32 girls. DISCOVERY OF A ROMAN VILLA.—The Hon. It. C. Neville, with his usual zeal in his researches of Roman re mains, has been enabled lately, through the kind permission of Mr. Samuel Jonas, of Ickleton, to have a field in his pos session explored ; it is situated within sight of the Roman encampment and Templi Umbra (as called by Stukeley), and about a quarter of a mile from the Chesterford station, by the road side leading to Ickleton. The men in the employ of the Hon. Gentleman and under his personal directions, com menced their labours about ten days since, and have sue eeeded in discovering the remains or walls ofalarg Roman building, toNmlieawn building, supposed a villa, having already exposed five rooms or compartments. Hopes are entertained that it will lead to some further interesting discov ery, Amongst the numerous fragments, &c., found on Friday skeletons of two infants.

The Irish horse was backed for some money at 3 to 1; but, owing to a rumour that certain parties were determined to get at him, if possible, the disposition to back him was not very general. sto 1 was taken several times about Sur plice, but offered at the close. Flatcatcher was backed freely at 6 to I—a point more than any one would bet at the finish. CESAREWITCH STAKES. 50 to 1 agst Mr. S. L. Fox's Executor—taken DERBY. The only bets laid were-1,000 to 25 agst Mr. Bowes's Emma colt, and 1,000 to 15 and 20 agst lir. Wall's Chatterer. AQUATICS. ST. OLAVE'S REGATTA. The watermen of this place contended yesterday for a new boat and other prizes. The attendance of - spectators was very considerable, both on the river and shore, and the rowing very spirited throughout. The race was in four heats, with six pairs of sculls. The distance was from off Chamberlain's Wharf to George Stairs, and back again to Battle-bridge Stairs twice. First heat—William Hurst (pink), 1; David Jones (blue), 2; James Law (green), 0. Second heat—William Scott (purple), 1 ; George Conway (red), 2; T. Allinghain (yellow), 0. Third heat—This heat comprised the two second and third in the first and second heats : David Jones (blue). 1; James Law (green), 2; George Conway (red), 3; T. Allingham (yellow), 0. Fourth heat—The winner of the third heat, and the first man in the first and second heat, contended for the grand heat: William Hurst (pink), 1; William Scott (purple), 2; David Jones (blue), 3. This was a well contested heat. They were all close together until the second time round, when pink at length got clear away, and won•by a boat's length. • COWNDEN'S SCULLERS RACE. The contest amongst respectable young amateurs for a sil ver wherry and sculls, the gift of C. Cownden, took place yesterday, in three heats, the distance being from Hammer smith to Putnev-bridge. First heat—T. Jeames (dark blue), 1; Dennis (yellow), 2 ; Smith (light blue), O. The winner took the lead, kept it, and came in first by a couple of lengths. Smith was second down to the Crabtree, but there having the misfortune to break a thawl, he was unable to continue the race. Second heat—Laurence (white), 1 ; Walker (green), 2; Hopkins (pink), 0. It was a capital race. Hopkins took the lead, closely followed by Laurence, Walker being close on the latter's stern. In this condition they continued until near the Crabtree, where Laurence challenged Hopkins, and passed him ; and shortly afterwards Walker became scull and scull with the latter, and rowed into the second place. It was only by half a length, and the second boat was not clear of the third. Grand heat—Jeames, 1; Laurence 2; Walker, S. They ware scull and scull for a few strokes, when Jeaaies went slightly in advance, retained it, and won by three lengths. It was a close race all the way, and rowed with much spirit. CRICKET. ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. FIFTEEN OF MAN CHESTER. The match was resumed on Saturday morning upon the new ground of the Manchester Club, and again there was a numerous gathering of spectators.

A supplenientary report of the Committee was submitted to those present. It was to the effect that a satisfactory arrangement for the future direction, subject to the approbation of the shareholders, had been entered into. The chairman, Mr. Collett, having stated that he would probably be absent in Ireland during the autumn, Mr. partly had consented to take his swat at the.board as a director. The Committee considered that thanks were due to Mr. Collett for his past services, and recommended that a sum not exceeding 5601., including the 1501. already paid to him, should be awarded to him for the same. In answer to a question from a proprietor the chairman stated that Mr. Collett was the only gentleman who had received payment . ; As a director, for his services; but that Mr, Oxenford had received since 1842, 2501. per annum as acting manager, independently - of his services as director. After a conversation, a series of resolutions were passed to the effect that the resignation of Tdr. Collett he accepted ; th a t Mr. Hartley be elected as director in his stead ; that the thanks' of the shareholders were due to Mr. Collett, and that the sum of 350/. be awarded to him.—Mr. Collett, in ex pressing his acknowledgments to the proprietors, said that o ß n e a o o f icnogm p h a i m n y s , e l a f n a d g s a u i n b s e a q s u a e n d t i l r y, ec r i t n o t riat i n a t e A d i a h y i n i e n x t t en . he was willing to accept 2001 . of the amount in s h ares i n the luotffioenra were then passed, by which the meeting accepted the resig nation of Messrs. Irving and Read, with th •ea best thanks for past services, and elected Messrs. Corra the office of auditors until M nextay - y and Garrawa v to .—The last resolution gave the directors power to receive 41. per share on the un marked shares, iu default of payment of which the sh are s 11 were to be forfeited. The proceedings then terminated. • INCENDIARY F IRE . Sunday evening a fire broke out in a b arn containing Mr. Woolley, of some wheat at the f arm o f Wilmington, about four miles from Bath. The flames soon extended t with the b arn , was completeol a adjoining td. building, which, 3 es roye Several A straw rick and large wheat ri c k were also destroyed.other ricks were in imminent danger, but saved by the timely arrival of the engines an d by the vi • gorous . exertions of the villagers. The barn had not b een opened for three or four days, and it is supposed that some combustible must have been thrown into the window. kis difficult to conjecture the cause of the vile act, Mr. Woolley being a good master, and bearing an exemplary character in the neighbourhood. He happens, however, to be a poor-law guardian. The damage done is to the extent of about 500/. The buildings were insured in the Sun and the stock in the Farmers' Insurance-office. An " Irish Row" occurred at Leicester on Sunday . night. .It arose out of a quarrel between 4an Irish reaper and a shoemaker. It is estimated that nearly 100 Irishmen took part in the fray. A strong body of police .were dis patched, to the scene of the fight in Abbey.SlXef;, and 37 men and two ;women were taken. into custody. A lergeant of police was severely wounded in the thigh by 11,44 , 51t1e, and another was struck on the face with' "a brick: Virieitis wea pons were taken from the prisontrg, or picked up atter the I fray.
