Whilst the firemen were busily engaged, the whole of Mr. Watkinson's premises not consumed by fire fell with a tremendous crash, blocking up the foot pave went, and nearly burying several of the firemen. After two hours' hard working the firemen succeeded in getting the, fire entirely extinguished, and, as soon at the ruins were cool enough, they commenced their search for the lad who was known to have perished. After some time his body was found on the ground floor. standing in almost a perpendicular position on its head, clearly showing that he must have ben in one of the upper rooms, and when the fkoring gave way had faller. head foremost into the place where he was found. Frot , -, the fact of a handkerchief being round his peck, end hie stockings being on his feet, it is supposed that he stop ped after being alarnied to dress himself, instead of making his escape. The body was literally burnt to a cinder, and has been removed to Whitechap. I workhouse, where it will remain until the coroner's inquest. Respecting the origin of the outbreak nothing that cat. be depended upon' could be learned. Mr. Hedger, the assessor of losses to Messrs. Toplis and Son, surveyor, to the principal fire-offices, inspected the ruins during, the day with a view of learning how the 'calamity oc curred. From the statement made by Mr. Watkinson it sppeared that he closed the shop on Ftiday night al ten o'clock, and at half-past eleven he turned off the gas, and retired to rest. At that time there was not the least smell of anything burning. He went to bed al ;ng with the unfortunate deceLsed, and was awoke betweet. two and three o'clock on Saturday morning:by a strangt noise, and the moment he got up he found the room full of smoke. The first thing he did was to arouse the youth, who was sleeping in his bed, whom he told to escape without a minute's loss of time. The next thing he did was to go upstairs and alarm Mr. Pitt and his wife and family. The lal, he considered had not dont what he told him, if he had he might have escaped. Ile could not form the least idea how the fire originated. It is but right to say that when the distance of the fire-escape station from the scene of conflagration i. taken-into--consideration, :the' rugubine - arrived - as - early as possible. Subjoined is the official report of the damage done:— " No. 45. Whitechapel-road—Mr. A. F. Watkinson. staymaker, &c. Building burnt down, and content: consumed. Insured in the Legal and Commercial Fire office for stock in trade. A lad named S. T. Pitt burnt to death, and Mrs. Pitt with her daughter, a girl nine years of age, seriously burnt and taken to the hospital. " No. 44, Whitechapel road—Mr. H. Coektnan, oi and colourman. Building severely damaged by fire and water. Insured in the Sun Fire-office. " No. 46, Whitechapel-road — Mr , Thomas Hartley. cap-maker and hatter. Building similarly damaged. Insured in the Phoenix Fire-office. The cause of fire unknown." DEATH OF ANOTHER SUFFERER. SUNDAY EVENING.—The unfortunate child, Priscilla Pitt, who,along with her mother, was so severely burnt at the above fire, expired in the London Hospital yester day forenoon at 11 o'clock. From the time the child was admitted very little hopes were entertained by the surgeons of that institution that she could recover. Mrs . Pitt, the mother ' 'who is far advanced in pregnancy, is als , most fearfully burnt about her legs and thighs, and it i: extremely doubtful whether she will survive. Every thing is being done for her by the medical staff of tht hospital that humanity or surgical skill can suggest ; but it is feared that all will prove unavailing. The father of the two children is in a state of dreadful mental an. guish. Mr. Watkinson, the proprietor of the premises who was severely burnt in endeavouring to save the live: of Mrs. Pitt's family, is considerably better, and nothini fatal need be apprehended in his case.

FATAL ACCIDENT on the GREAT WEST.ERA RAIL WAY.—TIIREE LIVES LOST. GLOUCESTER, SATURDAY AFTERNOON.—A mos melancholy catastrophe happened yesterday afternom, on the Great Western Railway, near the Hatherle3 Bridge, between this city and Cheltenham. Thi• portion of the line is used in common by the Grew, Western broad guage and the Midland narrow gaug.. companies, a line of four feet nine-inch rails being laid within the broader ones. In the course of th( afternoon, a number of men in the employ of Mr. Blinkhorn, contractor, were engaged in removing ol: and laying down new ballast . ; and in con sequence o the almost constant traffic of the two companies pass ing over this particular part of the line, the work is liable to frequent interruption, and a vigilant look out is necessary for the safety of those engaged iu ballasting. Accordingly, the contractor has em played a lad to attend to this important duty, and t( ring a loud-sounding bell on the approach of a train t.bout four o'clock a train of about sixty luggage• trucks on the narrow guage line passed by. The bel was sounded as usual, and five of the men thought lessly stocd upon the down-line, counting the trucks a. they passed. Whilst they were so engaged, the Grea Western train, which left Paddington at twelve o'clock appeared in sight. The boy rang the hell; and the drive. of the engine, Firefly, sounded the steam whistle ; bu the poor fellows seemed not ta hear it, for they made no the least attempt to move off the line. The driver o the engine, perceiving the terrible fate that awaite( them, endeavoured to shut off the steam, and revers, the action of the engine. All, however, had but littl effect in thwarting the shocking accident that ensued. The Firefly reached the five unfortunate men, and it an instant they were struck to the ground. On thi passing of the train a melancholy catastrophe pre tented itself. The remains of three of the poor fel lows were stretched on the permanent way shockingl) mutilated. Their names were Joel Witts, Johl Newman, and Henry Paul, whose deaths were instan taneous. The other two men, James Wilkes an( Joseph Ford, were discovered to be alive. Mr. Ashbee the superintendent of the Cheltenham station, and Dr Brooks, of the same town, were quickly dispatch& by a pilot-engine to the scene, and the survivors w itl every care were conveyed to Cheltenham Hospital There it was ascertained that Wilkes has sustained compound fracture of the arm and leg; Ford, a frac. ture of the thigh and arm. Eventually, however. Ford's' thigh was amputated, so severely was it shat tered. The remains of those who were killed were removed to Cheltenham. The five poor fellows were married. Witts and Newman have , left as many a. eight children each. The survivors remain in a bat way. Wilkes says that they were so engaged in no tieing the luggage trucks that they altogether forgo the approach of the Great Western train. t RISs AMELIORATION SOCIETY, • In course of being incorporated by R•yal Charter.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, SUNDAY MORNING.-- , The accounts by the early train this morning state that there has been no father indication of disturbance in the south. The Limerick Examiner contains the following in a second edition. It is, we have no doubt, an un- founded report : •° We are informed an express has just arrived in this city, conveying the intelligence that a conflict took place last night at Curraghmore-wood, between a party of the 85th Regiment and a body of the insurgents, and that eight men were killed, several wounded, and a consider able number taken prisoners;' The Sub-Sheriff of Tipperary has written to gen tlemen summoned on the juries at the Special Com- mission, who are staying at Kingstown, requiring their attendance, on the penalty of 1001., and stating that no excuse can be allowed for non-attendance. (From the Dublin World.) THE. INSILItitECTION.—ALARMING STATE- MENTS. We have received letters from Kilmacthomas, Car rick-on-Suir, Waterford, and Kilkenny, but they con- taro very little well-authenticated - intelligence in addition to that which has been already presented to the public. The insurgents continue to scour the country, pillaging wherever they have a chance of doing so with impunity, and vanishing like phantoms at the approach of the police or military. Intelligence having reached Kilmacthomas that an encampment of rebels had been formed in the moun tains, a military detachment started yesterday morn ing on a tour of discovery, and came up with about .500 insurgents, who immediately dis Versed in all directions. The military discharged their muskets at the rereating heroes, hut it is thought that no damage was done, as nothing could exceel the ra pidity of the fugitives. SEIZURE FOR. RENT—FATAL CONFLICT. The Limerick Examiner of Saturday contains the following " We have received authentic information that a man and woman were shot yesterday by an armed party at Carrig-o-Gunnell, within five miles of this city, The man was placed ai keeper over some property which was distraincd. Probably the woman, who was with him, was his wife. " Jtnce the ahoy° was in type we have learned that the land on whiclithe unfortunate people met their dsaths belonged to Mr. Hunt, and is situttect at Cragbeg, neat Carrig-o-Gunnell. Re: cue was, it appears, attempted ott the part or the persons whose property was seized.' The keepers were bringing the cattle into town en. this morning for the purpose of selling them by auction, when a conflict ensued between the keepers and the owners, in which one keeper was shot and another man wounded—not a woman, as we heard at first." The troops in garrison were reviewed on Friday by Prince George of Cambridge and Sir Edward Blake ney. There were on the ground the 7th and Bth' Hussars, the 17th Lancers, and all the infantry and artillery, except those on duty, at present stationed here. On 'Thursday morning Mr. Keating O'Dwyer, brother•in-law of Mr. Doheny, was arrested by the police at Ulla, in the county of Tipperary. Several letters from Mr. Doheny, and a pistol with that gentleman's initials engraved on it, were found in his possession. He was at once transmitted to Clonmel Gaol. Laurence and William Cull underwent the ex treme penalty of the law at eleven o'clock yesterday' (Friday) in Clonmel. There was a large military escort present. On Thursday a reprieve from Dublin Castle was received at Nenagh prison respiting the sentence of execution passed on John Ryan (Garaghcus) at the last assizes, for conspiring to murder R. U. Bayly, Es ARRIVAL OF LORD. LANSDOWNE.—This day the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne arrived in Kingstown shortly before twelve o'clock, in the Admiralty steamer Banshee, and proceeded to the Vice-regal Lodge, where the Noble Marquis and Marchioness are staying on a visit with the Lord- Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon. THE ARMY. The 40th Regiment arrived in Dublin at four o'clock this afternoon from Galway,' and marched:into Ship-street barracks. The Rev. Dr. Hinds, rector of Castleknock, and first chaplain to the Earl of Clarendon, is, it is said, to-day, to be elevated to the vacant Deanery of Carlisle. The Rev.

The Clonmel Chronicle, in a second edition published this after-, noon, says— " The general belief to-day is, that the rebel camps are breaking up for the pres ent, by the orders of O'hiabony, but that the insurgents have received in structions to hold themselves in readiness to re-assemble at a moment's notice, whenever he may choose to call them together.

No doubt he will be heard of before long." INQUEST ON ONE OF THE INSURGENTS -4 SI/OT AT GLENBOWER. CARRICK-ON- SOLE, SEPT. 14.---The coroner (Mr..

The jury unanimously found the following verdict: —4; That the deceased, Patrick Keating, came by his death by a gun-shot wound, inflicted by the police, at Glenbower, in the county of Tipperary, on Tuesday evening, the 12th of September, 1848, when defending their barrack and arms. ROYAL VISIT TO CLIATSWORTII.--The Duke of Devonshire is dispensing his princely hospitality to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and a distinguished circle of the aristocracy. The Duke of Cambridge, attended by Baron linesebeek, also travelled from Norwich by railway, met the Duchess at Derby, and travelled from there in the same train to Chesterfield, where their Royal Highnesses arrived at five o'clock on Friday afternoon. Since the Queen's visit to Chatsworth, the station at Chesterfield never presented such a scene of bustle, for it had transpired that the Duke of Wellington would also come by that route to join the party at Chatsworth. The Noble and Gallant Duke arrived by the same train as the Royal Duke and Duchess. n s to ring, girl ' bits. itter, four veral the sinit e on • a nd area suid „ 19 ~ 6d.

CELIBACY. —Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a tit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered p.ge of life reveals innumerable instancy where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigable anguish fillefettered solitariness into which his affianced wciald be plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her fr - an accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an Instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have more than one primary source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely, Natural Deficiency; the Prostration produced by Early Habits; the Weakening effects of Later ExcesSes ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im- pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, Loudon, entitled MANHOOD ; the Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration, &c., &c.

A (fir 31 Ono half the wend are desola l tely single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right deteruaine the former, and miscalculated hopes em '•itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eemprosiag hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, tad broken health, aye the great hindrances to domestic happiness snd social content. The dowry should net las the only marriage set tlement.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even Oa* ambiton. No man is exempt from its influence , or can avoid its s wa y ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity - Itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consumma!ion of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all thins upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life timebeyond i i : n ed e r a ,a, s sbo i spent in the fhlfflinent of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits,. or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disquabfled, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important end, The wretched condition of such ab. ing mast subsequently be l t le r a e ttili d osn c a p pt l il o ,,o r .t a iinl b t l rno c :It, horrible, r o or v nib n it e g h:i w a o ld iee be n loved, p, li h oe e i 70 entails unrt upon l i h' i li ai ls u st r e a ll i nf l attributes would change the sc ene , an d yield to both a life of unaLoyed happiness.

Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work er.titled DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. EDITH, SATURDAY EVENING}.--Last evening a ire, which destroyed a consinerable quantity of: property, broke out at the Anchor •quay, near to Erith creek, im mediately below the pleasure gardens adjacent to the pier. The following particulars, which our reporter care fully collected, upon the spot. may be relied upon as accurate. The fire.broke out in a straw•stack at the read of a pile of buildings, consisting of a large barn and three cottages inhabited by ab .ut twenty individuals. From the kflammable nature of the roof of the bars (which was covered with tarpaulins and felt), and filled with a large quantity of rye, the produce of the present harvest, the flames spread to other stacks, enveloping the cottages in one sheet of flame. At this time great alarm was caused, from the fact that the mansion o! Richard Pitt, 4,; sq., and his storehouses, were in great danger of' igniting from the large flakes of flames which were hurried onward by the wind, which, however, blowing at the time from the east south. east, carried tht principal part of the burning Urands in the direction of the river, or the result would have been most disastrous Information was sent by Sergeant Lennard, of the R division .of Police, to Cray ford, for the engine, but it was refused, on the ground that some time since it bad been lent to the corporation of Gravesend, at which place it was damaged, the authorities subsequently objecting to pay for the necessary repairs. It being low water at the time, and the mud near the shore being very deep, it was not possible to obtain any water from the river, where alone there was a supply. The fire, const quently. burned on until every particle of the property was con sumed, excepting a small portion of the furniture which was rescued by the police and occupants of the cottages. One man ran into the midst of the burning buildings, foi the purpose of saving his bed and bedding. He succeeded in reaching the staircase, up which he ran, and laid hold of his bed, but at that moment the fire overcame him, when he was compelled to retreat. lb then sunk upon the floor, and must have been burned to death had he not have been dralgeiost by one oittra—bystaniAcrs who witnessed the circumstance. `The'stecks, barn, and cot tages, are the property of Messrs. White and Sons, o' London and Erith. Report, grounded upon good autho rity, states that the firm aro not insured. The fire is supposed to have originated through the overheating of the straw stack at the back of the barn. It has been said that it was caused by some of the children playing with Luellen, but our reporter could not find that such was the fact. A vestry meeting is to be held at this place upon the subject, on Wednesday next. CHRISTCHURCH ' HANTS, SATURDAY. A f ee li ng of much regret pervades this neighbourhood, in consequence of the total destruction by fire of the seat of the Hon. Captain E. A. J. Harris, MP. for this borough, situate at Rocotat, between three and four miles distant. The mansion was called " Vernovignette," and we under stand was the property originally of Captain Jackson, R.N. On Thursday morning, about eight o'clock, an alarm was raised that a portion of some thatched roof near the kitchen was in flames, and ere means could be adopted to stay their progress, the building was on fire at different points. It therefore appeared evident that little of the seat could be saved, as the nearest engines were stationed full two or three miles distant; the do mestics exerted themselves to the utmost in preserving the furniture. They succeeded in saving nearly all that was valuable, but in the course of two or three hours the mansion itself was reduced to ashes, nothing remain ing but the blackened walls. There appears to be very little doubt that the fire was caused by a spark from the kitchen chimney being carried on to the thatched roof, where it is supposed it lay smouldering during the night, and burst forth as stated. The mansion and furniture are stat d to be insured in the Phosuix Fire-office. Last night a fire, attended with a serious destruction of property, broke out upon the spacious pile of premises known as the Ship Tavern, situate in Wardour-street, Soho, the property of Mr. Robert John Pearce. The flames; were first discovered at a few minu3es before eight o'clock, at which time they were rushing out of the kitchen window on the first floor. Immediately in formation of the outbreak was communicated to the in mates, and an endeavour was made to confine the flames to that portion of the building where they commenced. In that, however, the parties failed, and the fire speedily extended to the large club room on the same floor. Owing to the combustible nature of the premises the flames travelled round this compartment with more than usual rapidity, and seizing upon the staircase they as cended the same, and finally entered several rooms en the upper floors. Fortunately there was an immediate supply of water obtained, and several engines having been set to work the flames were prevented from de scending into the bar, and by nine o'clock they were ex tinguished. A fire broke out on Saturday night in the King's Head Tavern, Green-bank, Tooley-street, Southwark. It commenced in the first floor front, and was occasioned by a spark fling from a lighted candle upon the bed ding. The engines of the brigade quickly attended, and owing to the exertions of all parties the fire was confined to that part of the tavern in which it origi rsted; but considerable damage was done to the build ing and its contents by fire and water. Mr. Jewess, the landlord of the house, was insured in the Pl.ceaix Fire-office. THE FATAL CONFLAGRATION IN WHITECIIAPEL. (LATEST PARTICULARS.) On Saturday morning the inhabitants of Whitechapel road, in the immediate vicinity of the church, were aroused from their slumbers by the springing of rattles and a general cry of " Fire!" In the course of a few minutes it could be disiincily seen that she premises be longing to Mr. Alfred Frederick Watkinson, a stay melt( r and milliner, No, 45, Whitechapel-road, were en tire. At that time the inmates, consisting of about hall a dozen persons, were in their beds asleep. The police who were on duty in the district commenced knocking violently at the street door, and, after considerable trouble, succeeded in awaking. Mr. Watkinson, but not until the shop and staircase were completely enveloped in flames, so that all means of descending to the street door were cut off. The other inmates having been made sen sible of the great danger to which they were exposed, they attempted, but in vain to get down the stairs, and the moment they got on the vain., they were met by such a deuse mass of flame and smoke as nearly suffocated them. llaving retraced their steps to the upper roo ms, they opened the windows and called loudly to the people below to assist them. Unfortunately, the. nearest station of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire was at A Idgate pump, a diseance of considerably snore than half a mile, consequently some time was lost before the necessary intelligence could be conveyed to the con ductor ; and when it arrived the fire had made too great a havoc for it to be of any assistance. Seeing the perilous condition of the inmates the crowd called to them to jump out of the window, and that they would catch them. A Mr. Pitt at once obeyed the order, and he fortunately recei ved no injury. Mrs. Pitt, with her daughter and a son, a little boy, made to the upper part of the house, hoping there to be secure until the fire-escape arrived. In that, however, they were doomed to disappointment, and in the courao of a few minutes the room was filled with hot emoke, which compelled them to retreat to a lower floor. Upon getting to this part of the building Mrs. Pitt beheld a most distressing scene. An elder son, a lad about 13 years of age, was running to and fro in the midst of the flame, and unable to reach his mother. In vain he cried out for assistance, for the flames ascend so fiercely that it was impossible for the unfortunate woman or any one else to get to him. Half paralyzed with grief and fear the poor creature ran to the window with two of her children at her side. She was repeatedly told to get out and walk along the blind-box over the shop front, but this she refused, and said " she wou'd not leave unless she could rescue her boy, who was in the midst of the fire." There is no doubt that, had it not been for the praisewerthy and intrepid conduct of Mr. Watkinson, both Mrs. Pitt and the two children would have been burnt to death; as it is, it is extremely doubtful whether she and her daughter will survive the injuries they have received. Owing to the great quantity of timber used in the con struction of the building, but few minutes passed away before the house, from the ground floor to the room in which the inmates were, was in one immense sheet of flame, which rushed through the door and window shut ters with the greatest impetuosity, and extended com pletely over the footpath int) the middle of the road. Mr. Watkinson, at this juncture, got upon the narrow lead flat, and, although the flames mounted over his head, succeeded in snatching from the flames a child about four years of age, which he handed to a soldier below. The child fortunately received no injury; but a daughter of Mrs. Pitt, a girl about 9 years of age, was clinging to the aide of her mother, wh o was leaning over the window and bewailing the loss of another son. Mr. Watkinson laid hold of this child (her wearing apparel being in flames), and threw her out of the window. She fell on the pavement below, and was immediately taken to the London Hospital, severely, if not fatally injured. Notwithstanding that the fire was burning his bands and face, Mr. Watkinson stood to his post, and by great exertions managed to pull Mrs. Pitt out of the room, when she also fell upon the stone flags, and was likewise removed to the hospital. Notwithstanding that so much mischief had been done, scarcely ten minutes had elapsed from the time the first discovery was made, and neither fire-engine nor esca pe had time to reach the spot. The premises on one side the blazing property being the extensive oil and colour warehouse belonging to Mr. Cockrnan, an d k nown t o contain articles of the most inflammable, if not explosive character, the greatest fears were entertained lest they should also become ignited; and the crowd were cau tioned from venturing too near them, when the parish engine arrived. This was followed shortly afterwards by several brigade engines, and those of the County and West of England Fire-offices. The speedy arrival of these machines allayed in some measures the fears of the inhabitants, and, there being a n abund ant supply of water furnished by the East London main, the engines were set to work under the direction of Mr. Braidwood and the other chief officers. The first object sought to be accomplished was to cut off the further extension of the flames, for by the time the engines could be called into operation the premises of Mr. Cockman on one side, and of Mr. Hartley, hatter, on the other, were both on fire. By directing the water from the hose of two or three engines upon the latter named property the further progress of the flames was EXECUTION AT LIVERPOOL LIVERPOOL, SaTuaDAY.—Nearly fou - ryearshav, elapsed since the last infliction of capital punishmen , occurred at Kirkdale ; and the wretched individua who underwent the extreme penalty of the law in th, present instance was the man Adams, in expiat;on o' the murder of a woman with whom he had cohabited The execution took place at the north-west angle o Kirkdale prison this day ; and the crowd which col lected to witness the solemn spectacle was much lest than we have seen on occasions of a similar nature, and the conduct of the multitude more decorous. The number present amounted to about 4,000 persons ' A strong body of police was stationed under the gallows, to preserve order. A few minutes before twelve the door leading to the scaffold was opened and immediately after Calcraft, the Old Bailey exe• cutioner, came forward to adjust the rope. The prisoner soon appeared, and cast an anxious glance at the multitude. His countenance was care-worn and disturbed. In his hands he bore a crucifix, and the two Catholic clergymen followed him, reading the litany for the dead. During the final preparations the dying man looked wistfully on the scene about tc close on him for ever. The bolt was drawn, amidst exclamations of sympathy and horror from a number of persons, and he fell. For a moment there was scarcely a struggle perceptible ; a few seconds and he struggled intensely, amidst the shrieks of the by standers. At length, in his agony, he attempted to raise his hands convulsively to the rope by which he was suspended, and at least five minutes elapsed be fore life was extinct. -- DREADFUL DEATH OF AN OLD WATERLOO SOL DIER.—On Saturday a poor fellow of the name of Roll ston, an old pensioner, and one of those who served at Waterloo, expired in the Westminster Hospital under very melancholy circumstances. It appears that en Thursday last he was engaged in cleaning the windows at the house of Mr. Wade, a baker, in Strutton-ground, Westminster, and while he was observing the men deli vering some flour in the shop, his foot slipped from the second-floor window, and he fell with great violence on his head on the pavement beneath. He was imme diately taken to the Westminster Hospital, and attended by Mr. Wildbore, ono of the house surgeons, but it was evident he was suffering severely from injuries inflicted on the head and body, and also fracture of the skull, and no hopes c3uld be entertained of his reco very, and he expired as above stated, early on Saturday morning. The deceased was stated to be a civil, hard working man.

CA STLETOWN BRAEM A E FRIDAY MORNING. — Yesterday was a glorious one in the future annals of the north of Scotland, from the auspicious presence of the benevolent Queen and the illustrious Prince, her consort, and the , members of their youthful family, at the annual reunion of the Society of the Braemar Highlanders, who hold their yearly " gathering" in the ancestral domains of Mr. Farquharson, of Inver cauld. The Society, which has for its object the preservation of the ancient national games, has existed for a long series of years, the chief :,upporters and promoters of these meetings being the Earl of Fife, the Duke of Leeds, Sir Alexander Duff, and the Invercauld. It is alinost needless to oheerve that on no previous occasion have these gatherings been so brilliantly attended as in the present instance, for it was universally imagined that her Majesty and Prince Albert, availing themselves of the close proximity of Balmoral Castle to the scene of that national display, would embrace the opportunity to be present at the exhibition. The preparations were this year on a far more extended scale than hitherto noticed—there was much additional eclat imparted to the scene by the attendance of several distinguished Scottish Noblemen, accompanied by their clansmen and re tainers in full Highland array, and, indeed, no such assemblage as that of yesterday was ever witnessed in these parts. The gathering was a scene of the most pleasing description. At an early hour in the morning the inhabitants of the adjacent districts, of all ranks, and owning every description of conveyance, began to congregate. About noon the pibroch of the different clans were heard in the distance. Lord Ogilvie, and the family of the Earl of Airlie, were first to arrive at the ren dezvous, followed by above thirty of their clan. In a short time was heard the bagpipes, in the direction of Braemar Castle, of the men of Mar. The Fife tenantry then made their appearance, accompanied by General the Hon. Sir Alexander Duff, Mr. George S. Duff, M.P., and Mr. Ricardo, M.P., and formed in line in front of the house. The Athol men, num bering 130, with the Duke of Athol and the Hon. Captain James Murray at their head, were next to arrive. The band was admirably equipped in full Highland costume ; one party were armed with jedart" axes, another with true Highland armour, of broad sword and target; and the third with those formidable weapons of war the Lochabar axe. This corps had a fine martial hearing, and excited general admiration. The Duke of Leeds with about one hundred retainers, all appropriately equipped, came on the ground soon afterwards, from Wear Forest, and with the Athol men formed round the inclosed arena, in which the games were to take place. The re tainers of Invercauld and those of Braemar were united to serve as a body guard to her Maj esty 'and Royal Family. Her Majesty and his Royal Elighness Prince Al bert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and Prince Alfred, arrived in an open carriage (the weather being remarkably fine), at half-past two o'clock, attended by the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, the Countess of Geinsborough, Viscountess Canning, Sir James Clark, Lord Alfred Paget, the Hon. Captain Alexander Gordon, Hon. G. E. Anson, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, in the royal suite. The presence of the Qaeen, and the Prince Con sort, with the young Princes and Princess, was hailed by the enthusiastic cheering of the host as ;embled to enjoy the festivities. It was a truly Highland demonstration of devoted loyalty, and the excitement was prolonged somewhat beyond the cus• tomsry bounds by the int nse pleasure of those rough hut warm-hearted subjects of the Sovereign. General the lion. Sir Alexander Duff and Mr. Farquharson, of Invercauld, received her Majesty and the Royal Family, the armed Highlanders at the same time saluting the Queea with all the honours lue to her exalted station. As the Queen and royal - -party were being con ducted to the seats specially prepared for them, from which they were to visit the games, four handsome youths, sons of Mr. Farquharson advanced, and kneel in?, presented her Majesty, the Princess Royal, and the Ladies in waiting, the Countess of Gainsborough and Viscountess Canning, each with a bouquet of - flowers. The Queen evidently participated in the feelings of her Ladies in waiting at that delightful mark of consideration, and bestowed on the young ;entlemen her most gracious thanks. Her Majesty and the party comprising the royal circle having taken their seats, the games were imme diately commenced by a foot race for a mile. Another race (a regular steeple-chase), up Craig Chlunie, on the opposite side of the water, was stoutly contested, the distance being 100 yards, up a steep wooded hill Tossing the caber, throwing the putting-stone, and such trials of strength, dexterous training and agility suc ceeded, and afforded much pleasure and amusement to the royal and ennobled spectators. That portion of -he sports having concluded, the Queen and Royal Family, accompanied by a numerous body of the noblemen and gentlemen present, proceeded to the spacious marquee erected on the lawn, in which the dancers were to exhibit their proficiency in the more graceful arts of the national recreations. Se veral dances were performed in the Royal presence, among others the favourite sword-dance peculiar to Scotland. At the termination of the dancing his Royal Highness Prince Albert called over the names of the successful competitors to whom the prizes were adjudged, and as they respectively stepped forward, her Majesty, with a charming affability, conferred the several prizes on the victorious candidates. Some of the feats were very remarkable, and merited the applause awarded ; but we have not space to give all the names of those who gained prizes, and to particu larise one or two individuals, would be considered invidious, as all contributed to render the sports as interesting as possible. In addition to the Queen and the Prince Consort, and the Royal Family and personages in the royal retinue, we observed among the elite of the com pany, the Duke and Duchess of Leeds and Miss Lane Fox, the Duke and Duchess of Athol, the Marquis of Huntley, the Earl and Countess of Aboyne, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Hon. Francis Charteris, M.P., and Lady Anne Charteris, Hon. General Sir Alexander and Lady Duff and Miss Duff, Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P., Sir John Guest, Bart., MX , and Lady Charlotte Guest, Sir Maxwell and Lady Wallace, Mr. Duff, M.P., Mr. Ricardo, M.P., and Miss Ri cardo, Lord and Lady James Hay, Lord Henry Bentinck, Lord Eccles, Lord Brooke, Mr. R. H. Clive, Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson, Captain Hay, Captain and Mrs. H. Ross, &c. &c. Her Majesty and his oyal Highness Prince Al bert, after thanking Mr. Farquharson for his polite ness and hospitality, retired shortly after four o'clock, with the Royal party, for Balmoral Castle, the air ringing again with the cheers of the assembled com pany, as the Queen took her departure. A grand banquet was. given in the evening, in the marquee before alluded to, which was beauti fully decorated by evergreens and wreaths of foliage, and round the room were festoons of small lamps, in termingled with green leaves. One half of the mar quee was appropriated for the banquet—a sumptuous repast—and the other was, at a later period of the evening, devoted to the dance. BA LMORAL, FRIDAY. His Royal Highness Prince Albert bad excellent sport on Wednesday morning while out deerstalking, and succeeded in killing several head. Yesterday morning the Queen and Prince took their accustomed earl y p romenade in t e private grounds of the castle, a nd as you will he informed in the afternoon, after luncheon, went to Invercauld House to witness the Braemar gathering, with the l whole of the members of the Court staying here. In the evening the Itight Hon. Sir George Grey left for Perth to meet the mail train, en route to his sert in Northumberland. Lord and Lady John Russell arrived in time to join the royal dinner table, last evening, from Dublin, a fter making brief sejourns at Glasgow and Perth on the way. The Noble Lord has arrived to succeed Sir George Grey, and it is expected will remain with her Majesty up to the time of her departure, when the Noble Lord will accompany her Majesty to Minte SELF-PRESERVATION, il l us t ra ted by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, practical observa tionsl physiology, a se o c f re t t he reproductive infirmities o f youth org a ans n maturity, resulting from so lit a ry habits, excesses, O. infection. 1 diseases on the By SAMUEL LA'MEET, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member *f the University of no Edi n burgh, Licentiate of A p othecaries' Hall, London, He rary Member of the Lon.lon Hospital Medical Society, Sec.

It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, bl en ding the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a Production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety.
