In the month of May, 1841, three steam vessels left England, bound on a distant and perilous expe dition—an expedition holy in its object, auspicious in its commencement, but unfortunate in its conse • quences. All that science could suggest, or the prec autionary appliances o f ty of the devise, were made use of in theconstructionhumaniii ingenuity en vessels destined to this arduous and perilous adven ture. The preparations excited general interest and attention ; even royalty too k p art in , t,h the initiatory proceedings ; and when at length , the Albert," " Wilberforce," and the " Soudan ' weighed anchor and steered their course towards the shores of Africa, the warm sympathies and anxious hopes of many thousand hearts went with them. The object of this expedition was the suppression of the slave trade. All other means having proved fruitless, it was proposed to arrest that unholy traffic at its source. The Go vernment, accordingly, resolved to send out an expe dition which should ascend the river Niger and its great tributary streams by means of steam-boats, with the view of entering into commercial relations with those chiefs and powers on its banks within whose dominions the internal slave-trade of Africa was carried on, and the external slave-trade supplied with its victims. Such was the object of the " Niger Expedition ;" the fortunes of which expedition are faithfully narrated in the volumes now before us — volumes bountifully adorned with pictorial illustra tions and crowded with anecdotes and adventures. Captain Allen has here distinguished himself in a threefold capacity—as an artist, an author, and a commander. The drawings are from his pencil, the narrative is for the most part from his pen, and, throughout the expedition, he was continually placed in most arduous and responsible situations, in which his abilities were fully tested and his perseverance and fortitude fully proved. The narrative of this momentous expedition is necessarily most inte resting : the only fault we have to find with it—a fault which some persons will perhaps consider an additional merit—is a too great Elaboration of details. The style is natural and agreeable, and the details of which we speak never become wearisome. The most interesting portions are perhaps those which refer to the native tribes visited by the captains of the vessels in their charac ter of her Majesty's Commissioners. Some of the interviews, or palavers, as they are termed, between the strangely matched parties to the negotiations are most amusing. One King Abi, who, nevertheless, acceded to the terms of the treaty proposed by his sister Sovereign, grew impatient of the embarrassing questions and long exordiums of her Majesty's emis saries, and at length put an end to the conference by exclaiming, " The slave palaver is all over now, mid I do not wish to hear any more of it. Notwith standing the impatience of this individual king, the Commissioners were on the whole favourably received by the blacks. The expedition was, however, soon arrested in its progress by the sickness of the crews of all the vessels. The Soudan was sent down the river with the sick, and the other ships endeavoured to continue their course, but in vain ; and while the indefatigable Captain Allen was endeavouring to make one more attempt, orders were received from the English Government putting an end to the unhappy expedition. No pains have been spared to render these volumes a complete and authentic history of the expedition. The appendix contains the instructions from the Admiralty and all other official documents relating to the expedition, to which is added an elaborate " estimate of expenses," together with the vital statistics of the expedition at its close." Cap tain Allen has prefixed to his narrative accounts of all former expeditions and explorations of that part of Africa to which his narrative refers, and has added to it some interesting remarks respecting the negro inhabitants of Southern Africa. Annexed to these is a vocabulary, containing numerous wordsin various African dialects, and also a dictionary of the natural history of the country. Besides the pictorial illus trations to which we have already referred, these volumes are rendered more valuable by accurate maps of the Niger and the part of Africa through which the Niger flows. To the conclusion of his " Narrative " Captain Allen has appended " On Saturday last, the bar was sounded by the port captain, and at half-tide twelve feet of water was found. This clearly proves our bar is not so dangerous as has been represented; for, even six days previous to full moon, this quantity of water was found at half-tide. What then would be the case on the full and change, and high tides? We should say, sufficient to bring over vessels of large burden; and a small outlay of capital, judiciously employed, is all that is required to prove our harbour can be entered with the greatest safety." It is satisfactory to know, from the statement made by the Colonial Secretary at the meeting of Council on Tuesday, that the construction of the sea wall in Table Bay, and the prosecution of other important improvements in the ports of the colony, are only delayed by the need of a competent director and superintendent. This want, there is every reason to believe, will soon be supplied. We may, therefore, hope, before the close of the year, t o see severa l o f the useful works to which we have referred in pro gress. -- X --- I X a. d s. • tank of Scotland British Linen Company Si. ialedonian Bank • • . • • 7 • Nr per sent. 10 0 0 i 2 10 0 41.

DEATH OF Sul HUGH EVELYN, BART.—This vene rable Baronet, whose name may be familiar t o th e p u bli c from the fact of his bei n g the lineal descendant of John Evelyn, the distinguished author of " Silva," and also of George Evelyn, who first introduced gunpowder i n t o England, died on the 11th instant at his residence on Sydenham, at the advanced age of 80. The decased married a Miss Hathaway, of Southwark, but nut having any issue, the tide becomes extinct. DEATH OF MAJOR PHILTOTTS.—Major Philpotts, who, since his recent arrival from India, had been resid ing with the Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Keswick, diedsud denly at the Queen's Head Hotel, Newcastle , on Ihurs day evening last. He had travelled to that town by the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, and on arriving at the hotel was conducted to an upstairs apartment, where in half en hour afterwards he was discovered by one of the rvants lying lifeless on the floor. The advice of Mr. Newton, Sir John Fife, and Mr. Glenton, was obtained, and those gentlemen pronounced that life had been some time extinct, owing to the bursting of a blood vessel, -accelerated, in all probability, by some other disease under which the Major was labouring. An inquest was held on the following day, and a verdict returned of— " Died by the visitation of God. CHARTIST APPREHENSIONS.—MANCUESTER, TUES DAY AFTERNOON —This morning the Rev.

FIRE AT SEA.—The steamer Motala, belonging to the Swedish Government, caught fire off Tjarhofvad, on its way from Stockholm, on the 27th ult., and in a short time the greater part of the deck was in flames. The commandant succeeded in running the vessel on a sand bank, and assistance was rendered from the land. All the passengers and crew were saved, but notwithstanding all the efforts employed the fire could not be got un d er for an hour-a Ed-a-half, by which time the upper part of the vessel and the greater portion of the cargo were destroyed. Some few articles, however, were thrown into the sea, and among them two pianos of Erard of Paris. The steam-engine of 80-horse power only sus tamped slight injuries, and was removed to Blockunstallen.

THE HARVEST. vve are haply to state that the weather, since laa week, has been all that could be wished for agrieulturd purposes, and farmers, with the most praiseworthy ex • ertions, are busily engaged cutting their crops, aid housing such us is considered fit for leading. Corn in this neighbourhood is in excellent condition; and, it the present vleather bolds, our harvest operations will soon be brought to a close. The crops generally are not heavy, but the quality is highly satisfactory. Potatoes are, in many places, a sad failure; but with a continua tion of the present fine, warm, dry weather, it is confi dently hoped that the blight may not prove so disastrous as was imagined.—Hull Advertiser. Fortunately for the country the unfavourable weath* r which we alluded to as having retarded the harvest in the beginning of last week, cleared up on Friday, since which day it has been as favourable as could be wished. The consequence is, that a large quantity of grain has been cut, and a fair portion carted in excellent condi tion.—Carlisle Journal. KEIGHLEY. - Since last week harvest operation:, have made considerable advances. The corn in this neighbourhood is, generally speaking, ready for the sickle, and considerable progress has been made in housing or stacking that previously cut. Last week, with the exception of Tuesday, which was partially wet, has been one uninterrupted week of splendid sunshine, and has materially assisted, not only in bringing to maturity, but in improving the quality of the yield, so that those persons who profess to be prac tically acquainted with the subject, give it as their opi nion that the product in this locality will be what is termed a full average. The continuance of favourable weather will also have a very beneficial influence in ripening a large breadth of oats now growing in some of the higher districts of Craven. With the exception of small patches of after-grass, the hay harvest, even in the most elevated situations in this locality, is now completed, and will be found an average yield.—Leeds Mercury. The prospect of the harvest farther north are most cheering. In Bedlingtonshire, and along the whole east coast of Northumberland, from the Tyne to the Coquet, hardly a rig of wheat remains uncut. Oats are, in many places, backward, but the present fine weather will bring them fast forward. Turnips promise fairly; and potatoes are pretty certain to turn out a great deal better tha❑ was feared. Generally speaking, in that part of the country there is likely to be a fair average yield of food, both for man and beast. The roads swarm with Irish, the supply of whom far exceeds the demand, and the great bulk of them appear to have come too late. Last Sunday afternoon not less than three or four thousand attended the harvest hiring at Morpeth, most of whom failed in securing employ ment. In our own immediate neighbourhood the wheat crops almost everywhere are off the ground. Various opinions prevail as to the probable yield; but there need be little doubt that, on the whole, the harvest will be fully an average one, so far as this country side goes. A very few days more of fine weather will suffice to win all the wheat on this side the border. Shearers' wages are just' about one-half of what they were last year.— Newcastle Guardian. CARDIGAN.—The recent fine weather has quite en livened the farmers in this neighbourhood, and the corn of every description is being rapidly got in. A portion of the various crops has been already secured.—Car narvon Herald. CARNARVON.—The weather in this part of the Princi pality has of late been very fine, affording the farmers a good opportunity of securing their crops, and the yields of wheat, barley, and oats, in thisneighbourhood at least, have been plentiful.—Carnarvon Herald. The glorious weather of the last fortnight has put a new complexion on the prospects of the coming winter. In Kent generally very little corn is now out, and if the weather hold up for a few days more the field, will be entirely cleared. The accounts of the potato crop are various, and in some sort gloomy; but we believe the disease is not so wide-spread as was at one time antiei pated.—Dover Chronicle. TICEHURST. —We are sorry to say that the wheats have been considerably injured in this locality by the heavy rains and uncommonly damp state of the atmosphere. Where little or no attention was paid to the shocks, the corn . . sprouted, became quite green, and the sheaves were literally matted together; much of it was stacked in a very damp condition. Since the fine weather has set in, harvest operations have been actively performed, and it is to be hoped the produce of the norther❑ districts of the king dom will be secured in a much better state than ours The hops have been battered about by the stormy winds, and will, according to the present ap pearances, be small. The glorious weather we have had lately should elicit the warmest gratitude to the Author of all good. The potato disease is general with us, and we fear but very few sound ones will be obtained.— Dover Chronicle. Another week of fine seasonable weather, with the exception of Sunday night and Tuesday afternoon, has enabled the farmers throughout the county to clear the corn-fields of nearly all the wheat, in excellent condi tion. In the colder districts the season has, on the whole, been by no means unfavourable; and the same remark Ons.—There has been much inquiry after Southern Oil, and an advance in the value is apparent; the quantity on offer is not larger. Of Cod several parcels have been disposed of at 24/to 24155, at which holders are desirous to sell, as the importation is kkely to be larger this season. In Seal a good business has been concluded, at firmer rates. Sperm cannot be quoted higher, but there is a much bet ter demand, and the supply less plentiful. At auctio❑ 80 tuns Colonial were soli at 691 lOs to 701 for good, and fine quality is worth 70/ lOs to 71/, whilst Headmatter sells with more freedom at 71/ to 72/. Linseed Oil met with little attention for home trade purposes. Rapeseed Oil finds a ready sale, pale at 365, and brown 355, at which the market is firm, and the consumption continues to get larger. Olive is much wanted, and prices continue on the advance, there is also a further decrease in stock. Palm is held with firmness and many parcels have been sold at 30s to 31s 6d per cwt for good and fine, and at 28s to 30s for low to mid, but 71 casks at auction were bought in at 31s to 31s 6d. Cocoa Nut is offered at a further reduction; and buyers do business with reluctance, there is also an enlarged supply. Lard Oil has been dealt in with caution. TALLow.—Russian on the spot has again been largely dealt in, and prices continue to advance, fine new P.Y. Candle selling at 45s 9d to 48s, and on tho part of holders there is also firmness. For forward delivery many contracts have been concluded at 45s 6d to 46s for the last three months of the year, and for the early part of 1849 some sales are reported at 46s 3d per cwt. Home made sells freely at 45s 6d to 46s nett cash, but the supply does not diminish. Other sorts of Tallow realised en hanced rates, and a large business has been done. At auction 57 casks of old P. Y. Candle were sold at 44s 3d to 455. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, Slier. 9, 1848.

". -.1,337 THE RECENT MELANCHOLY CASE OF CHILD MURDER ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday Mr. Higgs held an adjourned inquest at the Ship in Milford-lane, on the body of Alice Tranham, aged five years. It will be re membered that on Friday evening last the mother of the deceased was on board the London Pride steam-boat with her child, and that when opposite Paul's Wbarf she suddenly jumped into the water with the child in her arms from the larboard sponson. The mother was rescued by a waterman, hut the child was unfortunately drowned. The principal evidence that was given was tendered by the friends of the unhappy woman, who is at present in the Compter, with the view of showing that she was of unsound mind when she committed the rash act. The only witness of importance was Rebecca Fisher, of 8, Croydon-street, Crawford-street, who de posed that Ann Tranham and the deceased had lived with her for the last four months. She always appeared to be in a low, desponding state, and frequently com plained of her head, saying that she was sure unless something happened she would go quite mad. She left witness's house about two o'clock on Friday, stating that she was going to her aunt's in Red Lion-street, Holborn. Witness saw no more of her until after this melancholy occurrence. The Coroner, in summing up observed, that in inquiries of this nature every per son of the age of discretion was presumed to be sane and accountable for his actions, unless the contrary were proved. In compliance with the general rule, it would be better to leave the question of sanity to a superior court. The jury, after a lengthened deliberation, re turned the following special verdict :—" We find a ver dict of wilful murder against Ann Tranham, and we cannot separate without expressing our opinion that when Ann Tranham flung herself into the Thames, the said Ann Tranham was of unsound mind." - GREENOCK, SEPT. 11.— Her Majesty's mail packet Banshee, Captain W. Smithett, arrived hero last even ing at five o'clock, and landed Lord John Russell and suite. The Banshee left the harbour of Kingstown at 4 40 P.M., and made a most wonderful passage of little more than twelve hours, against a very strong head wind from the north-east, being at the rate of fifteen miles per hour. The Banshee has been greatly admired by many shipbuilders and others who have been to see her, and all are astonished at her beautiful form and ex traordinary speed. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-01.1 Wednesday last as our respected rector, the Rev. G. F. J. Marsham, was out shooting with his brother, the Rev. J. J. Marsham, ho fired at a partridge, which he killed, but some of the shots at the samo time wounded his brother, and one entered the ball of his eye, of the sight of which he was instantly deprived. Other shots entered his chest and body. Mr. Woolcott, of Maidstone, surgeon and oculist, was immediately sent for, and we are happy to state that the rev. gentleman, under his judicious treatment, is go ing on favourably, and hopes are entertained that he may recover his sight.—Maidstone Gazette. applies to the later sown crop in the more genial dis tricts. The chief mischief has occurred in the open and usually early parts of the county. The week has been a busy one all along the western border of the county, and in the adjoining valleys of Radnorshire, Brecon, and Monmouthshire. The cutting of wheat, oats, and barley, and the making of hay, have in many cases gone on this week simultaneously. The potato failure is, unfortunately, quite as extensive as we had previously understood. The smell of the fields in many parts is quite offensive to the passenger along the roads. Every where we learn that plots of this tuber, which were per fectly sound and of excellent quality up to the last few weeks, have begun to decay. Many persons anticipate that the effect will ultimately b© to render the potato only available in future as an early vegetable. The weather has produced its natural effect upon that fickle plant, the hop. The bine has made great advances, and the condition of the burr is quite as favourable as could have been hoped for, considering the state of the season. The duty is estimated at 17,0001. or 18,0001. for the district; and indeed some persons are sanguine enough to talk of 20,0001., the sum named before the cold tem pestuous weather of the latter weeks of August; but we have not heard of anything being done at such an estimate. Should this weather continue, however, such , an advance will be by no means unlikely. In many parts of the county the growers have engaged their pickers, and will commence on Monday; in some places they have already begun.—Hereford Times. ASHRURTON.—The weather has been exceedingly fa vourable for the closing of the corn harvest, which, with the exception of a few fields that were sown late, and not as yet fit for the sickle, has terminated.— Western Times. CREDITON.—NearIy all the barley has been saved in this neighbourhood in capital condition.— Western Times. NEWLYN, WEDNESDAY.—The favourable change of weather within the last few days has acted beneficially upon the corn crops, and caused a stirring among the whole body of yeomanry. The harvest is now on all sides proceeding in a very satisfactory manner. We hope, however, that the rain which has fallen during the past night will neither cause any serious damage, nor be of any long duration.—Cornwall Royal Gazelle. WADEBRIDGE —The recent glorious weather has caused the greatest activity in this neighbourhood, so that the greater part, indeed, nearly the whole of the corn, is now safely housed, and in much better condition than was expected .—Cornwall Royal Gazette. . . The harvest in the neighbourhood of Risca, Abercarn, Mynyddyslwyn, Newbridge, Bcdvvellty, Gellygaer, &c., is progressing steadily. A great deal of corn has been secured in good condition, although there is still a con siderable quantity in shock, and some uncut, but not in jured. There is also a quantity of hay here and there, many of the farmers being obliged to turn their attention exclusively to the corn harvest.—Monmouthshire The weather for the last four or five days has been all that could be wished for. The warmth and the sunshine have again visited us, and gladdened every heart. A few fields in this neighbourhood, belonging to Mr. Jame, skinner, &c., we perceive, have yielded a second crop of hay. The harvest has proc eeded with all the possible rapidity which the condition of the crops per mitted. The accounts from every quarter are of a cheer ing character. — Cambrian. D ARLI NGTON.—We are, happily, again able to report a week of progress in the harvest field ; for, though visited during that period with occasional rains, no lengthy or serious detention to operations has even re sulted. Though the sickle has been busily employed, the wheat stooks have, from prudential motives, so soon as dry, quickly disappeared, and in many instances the bare stubble appears, while the adjoining crop is not yet sheared. Spring wheat and crops on late land need, however, a continuance of sun, otherwise they will severely detract both in quality and quantity. Instances of the potato disease are being more generally reported, though such are found to be confied very locally, and nut even then, to be so devastating as before. The bulk of green crops is mostly good, and those Favoured by vigilant supervision are, owing to the season, vigorous and plentiful.— Yorkahireman. DRIFPIELD.—The uninterrupted continuance of the glorious weather , of the last ten days has enabled farmers on the Yorkshire, Wolds to secure a great breadth of the wheat crop in 'very fine condition, and, happily, the fears which filled every breast a fortnight ago, as to the result of the harvest, have been dispelled. In this important district scarcely any sprouted corn exists, except in a few instances where seeds had been sown with the crops, and the sun and rain could not penetrate. The wheat crops being rather light in the straw, corn was not laid, and was thus prevented being injured by the continued wet weather. At Driffield market on the 31st ultimo, the effects of this glorious change were sensibly felt in the turn of the previous upward tendency of prices ; and the fall of 6s. per quarter at the principal markets has given t.) the gloomy prospects of approaching winter wind cheering and different as p ect. On Monday the win veered round from north to south, and the day was very sultry; on Tuesday night there w e an ather heavy fall of rain fo r several hours, but onesday the weather was again fine with a drying breeze. Should the weather continue fine during the week, the whole of the wht at in the neighbourhood of Driffield is expected to be housed.—Yorkshireman. StiAnar.—Although wo have had occasional showers wo haw had more than a week of fine sunny wea ther, accompanied with a brisk wind, which has con tributed. materially to the drying of the corn, and getting in the crops in good condition. The com• plaint ii t this district, however, is general that the crop wi .11 be far short of au average. Our only anchor e hope is that the splendid weather of the last week ma y check the potato disease, which is exceedingly prevalent among the early varieties on the low sand land.

The potato diser.se seems generally prevalent in a greater or less degree ; bat a s th ere has been a great e r quant i ty planted this }cur than the last, we hope, after all, that scarcity and dearness will not be experienced to that extent which is anticipated by the fearful and conaplaining.—Rua Advertiser. PoTATots.—Some of cur potato growers have conj. menced taking up their crops, though the larger growers generally defer it until thecloseof the harvest. The disrase appears to be general and most, parties are anxious to have them up and sorted. The produce in the field is not so much tainted as the earlier sorts in the garden. where from one .fourth to one-third are unfit for use. No apprehension is felt in this dist' let of any scarcity; the produce is so abundant, and the breadth of land planted of a greater extent than on any previous year.— Yorkshiremax. In the neighbourhood of Kelso harvest work is now far advanced. 1 The greater part of the grain has yielded to the sickle, and a portion of it is already in the stack yard. Labour, from the commencement of harvest, has been abundant, and farmers have thus been enabled to avail themselves of every favourable hour for shearing or leading. At the Dunse market, for engaging shearers for the week, there was a great attendance of Irish reapers, but few farmers to hire them—wages with vic tuals, from 9s. to 10 s . p er week. The operation of shear ing will be nearly over by the end of the week; and if this dry and favourable weather continues a large por tion will be stooked and secured in the barn-yard.— Kelso Mail. WINCHESTEL—The weather, during the past week, has been highly favourable to harvest operations; most of the wheat and a large portion of the barley is now se curely housed. The potato disease still progresses; in digging, a very large portion of the tubers are found to bo entirely decayed. —Hampshire Independent. ANDOVER.—Here everything depends on the success ful operations of agriculture; and the very long unset tled state of the atmosphere has prevented the labourer from following his out-door work with advantage to himself or his employer. The frequent showers have precluded the possibility of turnip-hoeing, and we never saw so many acres of this plant not hoed out as is to be observed this season. The hay season and harvest were equally unfavourable for labour. The labourers, con sequently, accustomed to these occupations, have been unable to work their full time, and lay by that portion of money which they look forward to at this period to pay their house rent, firing, and lay in their little stock of clothes.—Hampshire Independent. RUGBY.—The very favourable weather that has conti nued, with the exception of a slight interruption on Thursday, during the last ten days, has caused quite a clearance to be made in this neighbourhood, and it affords us considerable satisfaction to find that the wheat pre sents every appearance of being an average crop, both as regards quantity and quality. With respect to barley and oats, from the late period of the year at which they were sowed, they have changed places with the wheat, being last instead of first this season, and the proba bility is that neither the yield nor the quality will be so good as last year's produce.—Coventry Herald. LEICESTERSHIRE.—The favourable change of weather has materially improved the harvest prospects. Since the commencement of the present month a great quan tity of corn has been got in under the most favourable circumstances, and the quality of the grain is less injured from the long wet weather than could have been expected. Some corn in the early harvest was carried in a very damp state, and will be long ere it is fit for use, and of second rate quality. We are happy to be able to state that no injury has been sustained which will render the wheaten flour unsound, therefore we shall have bread of good quality. Notwithstanding all the forebodings of a scinty produce, we indulge the hope that it will not be materially below an average, yet, certainly less than last i year. The great bulk of wh i t e corn i n t hi s v i c i nit y s secured, and if the present fine weather continues a short time longer, the late barley crop will be well got in, and the harvest concluded. We re r ,ret that no improvement is visible in the potato crops, and they are decidedly more affected with the disease in this neighbourhood than last year.—Lincoln Mercury. GREAT VIADUCT ACROSS THE DEE, IN THE VALE OF LLANGOLLEN. While the speed to be attained by mechanical inge nuity is being intensely considered, the architecture of our railways is not forgotten, and we feel pleased to have it in our power to notice one of the most daring and stu pendous t tforts of skill and art to which the i ..de ay has given rise. We refer to the great viaduct now in course of completion across the valley of the Dee, in the vale of Llangollen, the di mens i ons of which surpass anything of the kind in the world. While the tubular bridges across the Menai Straits and Con way River are, from their novelty, attracting much attention, the undertaking referred to has proceeded pearly to completion without any considerable notice beiter taken of it. Its va s t ness o f proport i ons may be atter conceived when it is stated that in magni tude it far exceeds what is considered the greatest effort of human skill in connexion with railway com munication—the Stockport viaduct. The Dee via duct (for this is the term given to the one at Llan gollen) is upwards of 150 feet above the level of the river —being 30 feet higher than the Stockport viaduct, and 34 feet higher than the Menai bridge. It is supported by 19 arches of 90 feet span, and its length is upwards of 1,530 feet, or nearly one-third of a mile. The out line of the structure is perhaps one of the handsomest that could have been conceived, both as regards its chaste style and attractive finish, and its general ap pearance is considerably enhanced by the roundness of the arches, which are enriched by massive coins, and the curvilinear batter of the piers; this style of archi tecture imparts a grace and beauty to the structure without impairing its strength. The greatest attention seems to have been paid to the abutments—the only part of the erection, in reality, where any decora. tive display could be made. In the middle of both, on each side, there are beautifully executed niches in the Corinthian order, in addition to some highly finished masonry. The piers are neatly wrought at the angles, and at the base of nearly each there is a bedding of upwards of 460 square feet of masonry. With the exception of the entradoes of the arches,which are composed of a blue sort of brick, the whole structure is built of beautiful stone if not as durable, equal in richness and brilliancy to Darlydale. The viaduct has an inclination from end to end of ten feet, and connects that part of the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway be tween Rhos-y-Medre and Chirk. "Viewed from beneath, the vast structure presents a noble and truly grand appearance, and its bold pro portions with its height cannot fail to call forth ad miration from the most indifferent beholder. While the view below develops what art can accomplish, that from the summit surpasses in richness and luxuriance of the picturesque any landscape in the kingdom. Situated in the middle of the far-famed Vale of Llan gollen, there is all that nature and art can bestow to make the view charming and beautiful. On one side are bold and swelling hills, on the other a plain teeming with luxuriance far and wide. Within view are Castell Divas Bran, or, as it is commonly called, " Crow Castle," which is situate on the crown of a conical hill; the glaciated rocks, Winnstay, and font-y-Cyssyllte, or the Dee Aquaduct. This last structure, which con veys the Ellesmere Canal, is within a short distance from the viaduct, and from its beauty and extent im parts additional interest to the locality. The viaduct has been erected by Messrs. Makin, Mac kenzie,and Brassy, contractors, at a costofu t pw e upward s o f 100,0001., being upwards of 30,0001. more than . h ion was 15,0001., and scaffolding, &c., for its . erec h t Stock port viaduct.

Within a few miles dis tance there is another viaduct in course of building across the valley of Ceiriog. This structure will be upwards of 120 feet high, and will have ten arches of 45 feet span, and one of 120 feet. The entire length will be at least 630 feet, and will have cost, when completed, a large sum of money.—Liverpool Mercury. We understand Madame Dulcken, accompanied by the inimitable John Parry, Madame D'Okolski, and Miss Eliza Nelson, purpose leaving town shortly, to fulfil engagements at Exeter and its neighbourhood. THE EICISI3 DUTY or( Hors. —A meeting of hop growers was held at the George Inn, Hurst-green, on Thursday last, to memorialise the Lords of the Treasury for the repeal of the Excise duty on hops. G. C. Cour thorpe, Esq , took the chair, and there were present— Major Curteis, Messrs. Tilden Smith, Vinehall, Dawes (113 e), Neve (Benenden) , Fagg (Cranbrook), J. an d T. Hildt r, &c. Resolutions in accordance with the object of the meeting were unanimously carried, and a deputa tion appointed to present the same. A short time since Mr. I'. L. Hodges, M.P., Mr. Edward Barrett Curteis, and Mr. Pomfret had an interview with Lord John Russell, on whom they urged the memorial of' a large number of hop-growers in the Wealds of Kent and Sussex.

A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. EXTRAORDINARY TROUT.--A trout of very large dimensions, and in most excellent e,ondition, was caught by Mr. Edwards, jun., of the Uxbridge Arms Hotel, on Monday last, in the celebrated lake of Quellyn. The fish measured two feet five inches from tip to tip, and was fifteen in girth. Its weight we estimated at twelve pounds. Larger specimens of trout have, we believe,, been occasionally caught, but fish of this magnitude are by no means common as far as trout are concerned.--, Carnarvort Herald. -~
