LADIES, during the heat and dust of Summer, will find ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshin. pre paration for the compl , :xien, 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 discoloraticns, 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 .f 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 llon. Commissioners) on the Government Stamp affixed on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. Sold by the Proprietors, and by all Chemists and Perfumers. F OR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH. Price 2s. 6d.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH, 52, FLEET-STREET. MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change col3ur or decay, and will be sound very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of r,ots, 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. Decayed teeth rendered sound and usenet to rua.tica tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Fire. A R R I A G E. M One half the wend are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, mod broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered ey misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly fbr mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, whloh alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price le. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They aro not merely 'pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

The contemplated visit of Lord John Russell to this country is the subject of abundant speculation here, and minute details are published,:regardingnot 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 tho 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 math: 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, be the comrara tively brief space of nine months. I am enabled to inform you that the Premier intends passing some few days with Lord 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 such 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 - kayo e.ttelknt nnthotlty - f r thinking that one of the prin cipal features of this consultation between the - viceroy ana the First Minister of the Crown will be the expediency of granting an amnesty to all concerned in the 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 provbied for by ;uch a master-stroke of policy; and the leading members of the Government have sufficient wisdom to see that Li 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 if he 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 Lord 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. JUSTIN Surm.n.—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 immediately 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 fur 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. LALOI2.—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 illaane I nereczneet of Smith O'Brien. Th. runic, 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, R.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 5001., and two sure ties in 2501. each, were exhibited against Mr. Lalor, iu larney." D EP ARTURE OF THE FLITAIT.—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. Vincent, 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 ; Luci fer steamer, 3. Each vessel fired five guns as she left the harbour.—Cork Constitu tion. SALE OF Mn. DUFFY'S PROPEETY.—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's autograph. The furniture of the state rooms at Richmond Bridewell in 1844 attracted immense attention. Each article had an Irish harp inlaid in silver, with the date and the name of the party by whom used. The competition for each of these relics was very great, and the figures at which they were knocked down proved the sincerity of the bidders. It was very late in the evening when the sale concluded, and up to the last moment a crowd re mained at the auction.—Freeman's Journal. MURDER AND SUICIDE.—A murder of an infant 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 coop e r 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 is se n a t n s e t eacly assigned and in the same room—both mother and inf . ant . exhibiting dreadful gashes in the throat, no doubt inflicted by the unhap p ' re industrious ywo m m a ab n, for the dreadful occurrence. an F d o n rd o , ea th n e se h e u a s n ba a n t d p IMPORTAST SALE or LANDED ESTATES NEAR YOWL—The Ebbersfon freehold esta te, 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 56 acres of chiefly moor land, was sold to Captain Corns at 7001. The sale took place at one o'clock, and the room was crowded with . the chief landed estate proprietors and gentlemen of the county. FIRE AT EAS T SMITHFIELD.—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 promises 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 engin es arr i ve d i n qu i c k succession, and in less than an hour the fir e was entirely extinguished, but not until the stock in trade was totally consumed, damag ed could not o t b them a n firede r materiallyoriginated the lower part of the p rem i ses b urne d ou t, an d the re may inder r a e se a e n r d ta w in a e t d e , r. ne H ith o e w r, could it be learned whether or not the sufferer was in sured. The occupants of the house were all absent when the fire took place. REPRESENTATION OP CHELTENHAM. CHELTEN HAM, SATURDAY. —The decision of the Parliamentary Committee unseating the Hon. Craven Fitzharding e Berkeley, and declaring the last election for Chelten ham void, has again put the town into a f ever i s h s t a t e of excitement, and increased the previous bittern ess o f party feeling. On the receipt of the news of the deci sion, a largo mob assembled in the streets, and broke several windows. A very indignant manifesto has been put out by the Liberal party, and Mr. Grenville Berke ley and Mr. Holland are spoken of as the candidates for that party. Pending the issue of the writ no candidate has, however, yet declared himself. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Nervousness, Lowness of Spirits, Disordered Stomachs, and Indigestion Cured by Holloway's Pills.—The causes from which these com plaints arise are too numerous fur recital, yet nothing lays the foundation sooner than a studious or sedentary life, which disorders the nerves, and other distressing complaints follow such as deranged stomachs,:indigestion, and lowness of spirits. There is no medicine so certain as Holloway's Pills in allaying the irritability of the nervous system, strengthening the tone of the stomach, creating appetite, improvtng .digestion, and invigorating . the constitution. Their purifying n at ure gives freedom of circulation to the blood, so that by their use the afflicted are speedily restored to health.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY. — Yesterday, 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 h's 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 Nary 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 frigste 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, ofCowes, 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 immediateh on her entering the harbour. The fl oat i ng 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 taken h o ld 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 Astrforcerterthettghtning must: Sieve gone ,down, when there is little doubt naariy---an tier invalid freight would have perished.. A Dutch vessel and the eef....yesz- 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 oil; and will take thither some riggers who assisted in navigating the Termagant to this port. . - The Otter and Sprightly packets were paid off yeste r day. ROYAL MARINE ARTIL unty.—Captain Langley's com pany proceeds to Chatham on Tuesday to relieve Captain Logan's company, in command there.—Lie u t enant D raffen 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 headtnrne di and n t oCowes harbour. unt Takingnearly seven tnem o e ' a c t l i o clock, her three first , when she re turned runs, she made 7.715 knots, after which she increased to 8.2, making 26b 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 Nary, 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. THE ROYAL VOYAGE.—Her Majesty's sea-service,-steam yacht, the Victoria and Albert, is ordered to be taken from the harbour at Port.smouth to Cowes this day, where the royal luggage, &c., will be shipped for the intended voyage to Scotland, with which tho 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., corn. mender, 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 bacon 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 r eZa k blLL ' m rv e i n e f there.. a treat reduction bec— The Admiralty have ordered the account of the expenses in repairing the Dover packets at Woolwich to he 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 ths 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 masts 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, w as resorted 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 ship s se l ec t e d 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, Actaeon, 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 completed 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'e plan. Th ere is no intention of converting the Princess Charlotte, 104, ship. The Hogue, 56 screw guardship, is to un docked at Mr. Green's on the 15th September. i n to a steam - guard The Ajax, 56, steam-guardship at Portsmouth, is to be rigged, but the Admiralty have not yet 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 to have her machinery fitted without delay.

[PRICE SD. IM ?ROVEMENT IN PRINTING. A ne iv printing machine has recently been produced in Ame rica, the invention of Colonel Hoe, a partner in :Lown engineering house in New York.' This maLlaile sears quite novel in its working, and is called by tie . Americans, " Hoe's Last Fast Press." The fol io w i et . Acieription of the working of the machine is f rom t _Philadelphia Ledger :7 " TI ie .essential principle of difference betrreen this last in% en . ,ion and all other kinds of presses or machines hitherto led consists in the fact that while upon those th e typr x are locked up with quoins' and mallet and rho it,.ng-stick,' in a chace, and laid flat upon a bed' of *i •on, the surface of which is flat; with this one the :Ype , ; are screwed up with a wrench, in what our composit or c are pleased to denomine a turtle,' consti tuting bo bed and chace, and placed upon a large cy linder, fu as and a half feet in diameter, more or less, which re r. iives upon its own axle within four other smaller c) the fourth part the size of the, larger one, thesE revolving also upon their own axles in an op posite dirt sclion. "Each et e of these smaller cylinders receives from its supply kg attendant the sheet of paper with which, at every fo irth revolution, it meets the form or ' turtle' of type as i comes round, and in passing, gives the im pression, t 1 instantly throws it out into the receiver's hands, abc or below, according to the relative position of the cyli at ier. " Surrot in ding the large inner cylinder, to which the form of t.y pe is attached, and between those giving the impressiol , are placed the inking rollers, which spread the ink up , n] the face of the type as it revolves under them. Tf *re are two of these to each cylinder. The inking fou stain is placed entirely underneath the ma chine, fro's% which the ink is constantly drawn by means of a contin wally revolving small iron cylinder, forming itself a pat .t of the fountain. From this the ink is taken up by mean is 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 ,hy„the form of typo r performs in its revolution the office of both diltributer `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 /he 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 ail included, is about sixteen feet in length, and nine f:e;: .nigh by about five feet in breadth. The types used u i .on it are the ordinary types hitherto used upon the Lerver, which are made to assume a circular form in the A riake 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." This machine, 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 use 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 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 h o t c h a i n , from a syphon tube which regulates its supply. This causes the tar, or melted resin, to throw off an abund ance of bi-carburet of hydrogen gas. The gases being mixed in this manner, aro immediately conveyed into the gasometer for use, without any purifying vessels whatever, none being required. 4 • _ _ VANCOUVER'S ISLAM). TO THE EDITOR OF 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 pees 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 . tbrea or four Canadians. wi/h_theiandian wives. H 6 likewise dilator. 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 abort stay in their territory. But, not only this, ho would lead you to be lieve that the American Commodore had visited the Red River, and that he described it es 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 expenres at tending it, but it is to be presumed that ho does not know much of those matters. He has taken a very illiberal view, too, of colonization in 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 be 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 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 en immense tract of her Majesty's dominions. If it is any satisfaction to the Noble Loaf, I can assure him Oat " should dips wa sßvelid death around," tile AmericaMkre as likely! Minvade Issis 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 prohibition against a mode of fishery, which in Ireland as well as in Gre a t B r i ta i n h as been found profitable and pro ductive, and is a violation of all the rights of Property. G. Because th e power of levying a tax of 10 - per cent. on the rated value of a n y d escr i pt i on 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., th ough 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 Fi s h er i es 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, to decide and to report on the manner in which they have themselves exe cuted their ministerial duties. 8. Because it is not shown, or even suggested, that this extraordinary Bill has been sanctioned or recommended b . y the Co mm i ss i oners of Irish Fisheries, the official functionaries appointed under a recent statute to report annually to the Legislature and to Parliament on this subject. 9. Becaus e o n th ese groun d s th e Bill i s unwise and unjust, oppressive to the poor, partial in its bearing on tli moree wealthy, destructive to industry, and nconsistent with tlie rights of property . , and is therefore likely to just creia:e mad e feelings of discontent in Ireland, when that country . the subject and the victim of a legislative experiment which could never have been proposed, much less . carried, in rela tion to the analogous interests of Great , Briyin. p vcDoN. , MONTEAGLL OF B WINDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING.—The birth-day of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort was celebrated in Windsor yesterday with the customary demonstra tions of loyalty; the ringing of the joy-bells in the toveer of both church and castle; the firing of royal salutes by the guns of the Belvidero Battery in the Great Park, re echoed by the corporation guns in the Bachelor's-acre; by a public dinner in the Town-hall, plentifully supplied with venison from the Great Park, snd 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, &e. 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 11,gent 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 . execntion of t Burton, at Huntingdon, a packet of tolerable size arrived ., a the station that town, directed to some one . unknos n , as it d was not called for at the end of ten days I , t, wa , s opened, an found to contain a large quantity of the las, d) ing speech and confession of Charles Burton," ready for immediate cir culation, but which the respite he bad received rendered valueless. 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 frc . e from u,ny. nuisance in its nunufacturp, and atinve all; so. ppre and innoxious that it ma? be burnt in any private'room without%the least ill effects or smoke resulting from it. .1.118 tzpinualus may aro u.inl Au. Luc , baa cu 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 wo 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', Lilversmiths', and drapers' goods, books, pri n t s , pi c tures, 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 fur general purposes, surpassing coal gas in brilliancy and purity." All whu may be interested in the public heaitli, as well as the scient?fic, may spend an hour at the Polytechnic, and hear this lec:ure and explanation of the invention. Besides the foregoing, we must once more make par • titular alluion t.) the lectures delivered by Lham Boggs, Eiq., 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. Boggs, 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 Ryan, 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. liyan and dove lopcd by Mr. Biggs, wo 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 by 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. An 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 a 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 scat 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 disputants in the previouscon test rose. He commenced by observing (looking in a me nacing manner towards his opponent), 'l'll break that chap's nose before he's many days older. This observation was checked by Mr. Cochrane, and the speaker went on in a more regular strain. Mr. Cochrane afterwards addressed the meet• ing, and stated some appalling facts connected with the sani tary state of the metropolis, and a resolution was agreed to appointing a district committee. M EEC HANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN A sYLUM.—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 posegirls into the asylum. d six announced the names of the successful candidates immediately after t termination Captain Ecimeebtill'el'ons,ixwlbiooypsreasiCet of the pol!ing. 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. e x r p t ao issneted(liv et r h ‘ e . a . t t e :i e t .

The men in the employ of the Hon.

The contest amongst respectable young amateurs for a sil ver wherry and sculls, th e g if t of C. Cownden, took place yesterday, in three heats, the distance being from Hammer smith to Putney-bridge. First heat—T. Jeamcs (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), I ; 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 Opassed 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—Jealp C.:3, 1 ; Laurence Itt&L, 7:1 2a , slightly in advance, retained it, and won by three lengths. It was a close race all the way, and rowed with much CRICKET. ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. FIFTEEN OF MAN- CHESTER. The match was resuniedoTigatiirday morning upon the new ground of the Manchester Club, and again there was a numerous gathering of spectators. As will be seen, the game at its termination proved that the Eleven of England were the victors by four wickets, the final score showing the sub joined figures:—The Fifteen of Manchester: first innings, 59 ; second ditto, 83. Eleven of All England: first innings, 77 ; second ditto, 66. England thus won, having at the close of the play four wickets standing. The Eleven of All England commenced their match yes terday (Monday), against Sixteen of Sheffield. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. _- LIVERPOOL, AUG. 28.

Mr. Deputy Conley presided. A supplementary 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. llartly had consented to take his seat 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 500/., 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 recei ved since 1842, 2501. p er ann um as ac ti ng manager, independently of his services as director. After a conversation , a series o f resolutions wer e passed to the effect that the resignation of Mr. Collett be accepted ; that Mr. Hartley be elected as director in his stead; that the th an ks of the shareholders were due to Mr. Collett, and that the sum of 350 r. be awarded to him.—Mr. Coll e tt , in ex pressing his acknowledgments to the proprietors, sa id t h he was willing to accept 2001 . of the amount in sha res i n the intentibestonthanks ofoffer ing for again subsequently as adi intimated re ctorin iN his i aynext._ esoluti O were then passed, by which the meeting accepted the resig iciiogniphanim3s'elafild resig nation of Messrs.

The proceedings then terminated. INCENDIARY FIRE. On Sunday evening a fire broke out in a barn containing so me Mr. Woolley, of Wilmington,wheat at the farm of about four miles from Bath. The flames soon extended to an adjoining building, which, with the barn, was completely large wheat • ric k , were also destroyed . Several other ricks were in imminent danger, but b •the • ' . saved 3 timely arrival of the engines and b y the vigorous exertions of the villagers. The barn had not been opened for three or four days, and it is supposed that some combustible must have been thrown into the window. It is difficult to conjecture the cause of the vile act, Mr. Woolley being a good master, and bearing an exemplary ch arac t er i n th e n e ighbourhood. Il e h a pp en s, 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 an 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-street, and 37 inen and two ;women were taken into custody. A sergeant of police was severely wounded in the thigh by a, sickle, and another was struck on the face with a brick. Various wea pons were taken from the prisoners, or picked up after the fray.
