SUGGESTED BY THE IRISH STATE TRIALS. At a time like the present, we've very good reason To say a few words with regard to High Treasoa ; For a subject like this is by no means too solemn For a matter of trade in a Newspaper column. The only idea with E. MOSES and SON, Is to make such a topic a mercantile one. It is said that when persons excite revolution, As traitors, they owe a severe retribution. But here no allusion whatever is made To what may be termed, revolution in trade. E. MOSES and SON. as you all must confess, Have caused a complete revolution in dress. And they've levied a war with the trade, as you know, But the war has been civil—remarkably so ; And MOSES and SON ii the efforts they've made, Have endeavonred to make themselves monarchs in trade. Now, although in the State, this is viewed as High Treason, To apply it to trade is to speak without reason. The trial which MOSES and SON have goes through, Proves them friends to the public in all that they do. Their prime Autumn dress, in its wide distribution, Will prove them Rot foes to a good constitution. Aid thus has the subject of Treason been made To serve Messrs. MOSES and SON in their trade. B. MOSES and SON Cavite especial attention to their Shooting coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort in the it. E. M. and S. are convinced they will be much approved of by the public. Shooting Coats, in a variety of materials from 89. CA. to 21s. The Doeskin, or Elastic Coat, from.. •• • • 178. Od. to 325.

Several Porters Waatei. STERILITY. —Whatever is unproductive is with cut intrinsic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that Which " yields ne fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned for the same reason that caused the barren fig-tree to be cursed. This cuts* clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth famine. But the maledictive breathes loudest and deepest into Use ear of these of the human race who remain childless in a community Which must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures, but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings ne consolation to the wifeless besore—brings no return for the childless home. It is a remarkable fact that the unproductiveness of soil and species arises from similarity of cause. Some lands are the produce of vitiated strata that yields an offspring as Unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value by being toe early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some soils, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Mark the ana logy ! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he springs. Man is toe often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early, and avertasks it too late. 'Nan, by unwholesome contact can also in fect his frame ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance of his organization and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have been recently se entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from stone Itself; and, in like maaner, Sterility in the human race is now removable through the profound discoveries in physic which enlighten the present age. In testimeny of this, a volume has recently been produced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove Sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS - " - ' l4 CO, Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, LondOn, and bears the title of " MANHOOD: The Caase3 of its Premature Decline, wink Plata Directions for Its Perfect Re storation and -le sent by W.

It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys Its power ex the system. This important part of the Work should be read by every Young Man entering into life.

Attendance daily at 19, Bereers-street, from Eleven Oil T we, and Eye to Eight 012 BaLldayll &OM EICTO to The Belgian papers contain a lengthy analytical review of the trade of that country for last year, the general results of whick show, that it. has increased from 15 to 27 per cent., compared with 1846 and the average of the previous five yours. The export branch manifests the greatest improvement, and has, it is as serted, exceeded in amount any former period, national products alone establishing an advance of 12 per cent. contrasted with 1846, and of 22 per cent. with the average of previous years. The chief articles exported' it is stated, wore for France, Holland, the Zollverein States, England, America, and the Hanseatic Towns. Through commercial intercourse with some of these countries, Belgium, in 1847, disposed of 1,827,000 tons of coal, valued at 24,500,000 f.; and 110,500 tons of iron, valued at 15,000,000 f.; besides woollen and cotton manu factures, machinery, zinc, oil, grain, and fish for large amounts. The report of the Minister to the Govern ment is encouraging, and enters fully into the details of the subject. The warrant system having been favour ably received, its operation has lately been extended, and it is now decreed that certain descriptions of silk manufactures, lace, embroidery work, and glass, may be privileged to have their value so represented. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The following mem bers of haut ton have been present to witness the per formance of Mr. Sims Reeves in La Somnambula : Marquis of Donegal, Earl and Countess of Glengall, Lord Burghersh, Countess of Westmoreland, Arch duchess of Austria, Duchess of Inverness, Lady Fortes cue, Count de Montemolin, Baron Brunuow, Count Kiel mansegge, Baron Rehausen, Lord Clinton, Sir George and Lady Armitage, Lord de Manley, Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., Sir George Wombwell, Bart., General Cavendish, lion.

M, Gibson, &c. &c. According to the late statistical report made to the Government, the number of locomotive engines con structed in France, and employed by the country in 1842, equalled the number imported from abroad; in 1843, there were two more French than foreign engines; in 1844, the surplus was 44; in 1845, 76; and in 1846, beyond which year the report did not go, this excess was 161. In 1846, there were 294 steam-boats belong ing to private individuals and companies navigating the Fivers and seas. The numbers and force of the engines in use on land, and acting as locomotives in steamers : wore in 1846 as follows:—viz., 4,395 engines at work on land, equalling 163,402 horse-power; 461 locomotives, of 60 horse-power each, upon the average amounting to 27,600 horse-power; 338 engines used in steam-ships and boats, amounting to 103,513 horse-power. These together, give a force of 299,515 horsepower. Com paring. th e s t rengt h of man to horse-power, it will be found that the steam-engines employed in Franca in 1846 were substitutes for 2,097,625 men. PORTSMOUTH, Fammr.—Admiral the Honourable Sir Bladen and Lady Capel will entertain the follow ing guests at the Admiralty-house to-morrow evening, to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, in which Sir Bladen commanded the Phoebe frigate : —Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8., Mrs. and Miss Prescott, Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., Captain Chads, C.B. Mrs. and Miss Ch a d s , Fl ag - Captain Eden and C. 8 .; Eden, Flag-Captain Dacres and Mrs. Dacres, Commander Crispin, Commander and Mrs. C. R. Johnson, Mr. Secretary Haig and Mrs. Haig, Flag-Lieutenants Cochran, and The Prince Regent, 92, CaptainlV. F. Martin, at Spithead, is ordered to change her armament for heavier metal; she is ordered all 8-inch guns (68- pounders) on the lower deck, of 56 cwt. each ; long 32-pounders, of 56 cwt. each, on the main deck ' • and long .2's, of 42 cwt. each, on th e quarter-deck and forecastle, which terrific batteries, it is expected, she will carry and be enabled to use with ease ; but with this increased armament she ought to have an increased crew ;' 1,000 men would not be one man too many for such a ship. The Orestes, 18, and Sappho, 16, at this port, advanced for the pendants, are ordered to be masted, rigged, and prepared for the reception of officers and men immediately. The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Harvey, will sail hence on the 29th for Plymouth to-be paid advance, whence she will sail on the Ist of November for the coast of Africa with the mail. Commander Graham Ogle, of the Victory, has been discharged that ship, the Admiralty intending to abo lish the appointment of commanders to harbour flag ships. The Driver steam-sloop, Commander C. R. John son, received or d ers to-day to proceed with provisions and water to relieve the wind-bound vessels in the Chops of the Channel. She is directed to sight Scilly every other day during her cruise, which is to be re gulated as to length by the wind. On that becoming westerly, she is to return to this port, calling at Ply mouth. It is highly creditable to Commander John son's diligence that his steam was up in an hour after the orders arrived, and that he sailed in the course of the afternoon. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord A. W. Beauclerk, was taken into the steam-basin today. The Dockyard Revision Board, comprising Cap tain Milne, Mr. Ward, M.P., Colonel Irvine, and Cap tain Sir Baldwin Walker, of the Admiralty ; Mr. Bromley, of the Audit-office; Captain Ellice, of the Steam Department, &c., held their sittings at the office of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C. 8., in this dockyard; they berth, however, on board the Admiralty yacht, Black Eagle, in the harbour, and are so desirous of economy both in their own persons and appetites and those of others that they will not accept an invitation to dinner even at the Commander-in- Chief's mansion.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. the account of the opening of the Loop line of the Great Northern Railway, contained in your paper of Wednesday last, there is a very gross inaccuracy, to which I take leave to call your attention. It is there stated that the shortest route from London to Peter borough is, by the North-Western Railway, whereas a reference to the time-table of that company will show that Peterborough is distant from London 110/ miles, whilst the distance by the Eastern Counties line is but 1021 miles, being 74 in favour of the latter line. Yours respectfully, THOMAS TURNER. Crowland, Lincolnshire, Oct. 20, 1848. LAMBETIL—A case of Asiatic cholera, certified by the medical officer, occurred yesterday, in Devon shire-street, Princes-road, Kennington -cross. WOOLWICH, OCT. 20.—A board of medical officers assembled yesterday, at the Justitia convict ship, which caused a delay of yesterday's return to a rather later hour. The number of cases returned up to twelve o'clook on Wednesday was-36 attacked, 10 deaths, and 5 recoveries. On Thursday there were —1 new case, 1 death, and 5 recoveries ; making 37 attacked, 11 deaths, and 10 recoveries. From twelve o'clock yesterday to twelve o'clock to-day, there have been no new cases, and consequently there are 37 cases of attack, and 12 deaths, one having died this morning, and 10 recoveries. The result of the meet ing of the medical board and an investigation of the cases on board the Justitia, is an order that the con victs are to be removed out of that vessel, and for the present will be hulked on board the Hobe and Sul phur receiving vessels, opposite Woolwich Dockyard. The Justitia is also ordered to be removed from her present position, and will be stationed lower down the river, where she was formerly placed, or very nearly in the same spot, where the convicts were generally healthy. The inhabitants of the town, and the convicts at the dockyard, have hitherto escaped the slightest symptoms of the disease. WORMINGPORD.-We are informed that three fatal cases of cholera have occurred at Wormingford, in one family. Th e c hild ren were attacked and soon after sunk under th e v i o l ence o f th e disease. They were buried on Tuesday.---Essex Standard. SUNDERLAND, OCT. 10.—Three cases of Asiatic cholera occurred last night in this town, one of which terminated fatally. The sufferers were seamen from the Baltic, and were attacked on board their re spective ships. No traces of the disease have as yet made their appearance in the town, nor does any ap prehension of an attack prevail amongst the inhabit ants. The wind blows strongly from the north-east, with a heavy sea rolling on the coast. EDINBURGH.—The number of cases of spasmodic or Asiatic cholera reported at the police-office, Edin burgh, on the 14th and 15th instant, including Leith and Newhaven, were—Died, G 0; recovered, 11 ; re maining, 7.—North British Daily Mail. WESTMINSTER.—A meeting of the members of the Westminster Sanitary Association was held last even ing at the Literary Institution, Great Smith-street, for the purpose of adopting such measures against the cholera as seem most calculated to subdue the effects of the epidemic. Mr. Elliott, Dr. Aldis, Mr. Wilson, the Rev. G. Stoddart, and other gentlemen addressed the meeting. BaosiLET.—An influential meeting of the inhabi tants and ratepayers of the parish of Bromley was held yesterday at the clerk's office, lligh-street, " to consider the best means to be adopted with respect to the nuisances arising from the factories in Bow Common-lane." It was resolved that " A deputation, consisting of the officiating minister, the church wardens, and the overseers, do wait on the Commis sioners of the Board of Health, representing the dan gerous effects likely to arise to the health of the neighbourhood if the nuisances be allowed to remain, and that they be solicited to use their powerful in fluence to remove the same."

Difildence, er a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em- Sitter the latter. The solitary one nay shield himself under the plea of caution aid worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an comprosieg harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, sad broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

They are net intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whose they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above sub;ects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (stun* price Is, each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Rat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are net 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 ewes his present existence, health, and position to this eh servanee of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done ante—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always nn the "sunny side of the way."

O V E is the leading feeling of the human A breast. More exalted than mere passion, it ■ears high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its 'flamenco, or can avoid its sway; 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 consummation 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 things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life tine spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to au honoirable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, ho entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the Milo work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION.

Surely, then, if the threat above alluded to has been made, it would not be wise to risk a collision between this fleet and our half dozen ships of the line only—even though we might be aided by the French Admiral and his three or four ships. The Russian fleet is commanded by one of the most active and energetic officers in the navy—Admiral Count Lazareff, who was seven or eight years a mid shipman in our service, and was, I believe, flag lieu tenant to Count lleyden at the battle of Navarino. These facts it is to be hoped that Lord John Rus sell and Sir Charles Wood will at once become ac quainted with, in order that they may see the pro priety of stopping the farther reduction of our fleet. October 14. BRITANNICUS. LORD MORPETH'S. FAREWELL ADDRESS TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. The Earl of Carlisle (late Lord Morpeth, M.P. has addressed the following letter to the electors the West Riding of Yorkshire : " Castle Howard, Yorkshire, Oct. 20. " Gentlemen,—l do not purpose to obtrude upon you the sorrows of a private home, but I cannot forget that they involve the termination of the political con nexion which it has long been an honour and happi ness for me to hold. "For the space of 18 years, with one interval, and upon no less than ten occasions, has,it been my good -fortune to be elected by you as your representative, in conjunction, at the earlier periods, with the elec tors of the whole county of York, whom, on account of many common interests and many common favours, I could almost wish to be allowed to associate with you in the terms of my present respectful and grate ful farewell. "It was to be expected that, during so extended a time of service, comprisi ng th e ag it a ti on o f ques tions which stirred the depths of almost every politi cal, social, and religious feeling, I must occa sionally have found myself obliged in my views to disappoint the wishes, and in my public conduct to act at variance with the convictions of successive classes of my constituents. Neither can I fail to be apprehensive that my tenure of bearing offices unde r the Crown during the larger cordon of my represen tative service, must necessarily have often unduly curtailed the attention which I should have wished to devote to their important local concerns. I never yet, however, found them inclined to put an uncandid construction on my motives or my proceedings; and I trust that I may bear with me, during the remain ing portion of my life, the assurance of their indulgen t estimate of the past. " It will always be a source of unmixed pleasure to me, if any future opportunities should present themselves, for showing that my gratitude to them is not a superficial or transitory feeling. " Having just returned from paying the sad offices to the dead, I wish to devote to you, gentlemen, the last signature of a name, which I unaffectedly feel has derived its chief illustration from its connexion with you.—Your ever grateful servant, " MORPETH."

This admirable establishment continues to attract a numerous company, although it may be considered the dullest time of the year. The reason is obvious enough, as it contains within its walls a multitude of models, machinery, &c., not to be met with elsewhere, together with instruction in the various branches of chemistry, natural philosophy, and art, by the professors of the institution, who daily lecture on subjects of imp or t ance . Models and machinery are also described, and among these we were much de lighted with the lace machine for manufacturing this beautiful article. The following description will give our readers some idea of its uses :—The process through which the cotton passes from the raw state into various fabrics, first, by the spinning machinery, the raw material is converted into thread, then may be observed the platting of the threads to form braid by the braiding machine, or we may pass to the elaborate and beautiful lace machinery, and the same thread may be seen converted into lace of various kinds and patterns ; the delicate and intricate movements in the lace machine appear to dazzle the eye by their complexity, and almost lead us to sup pose the thing impossible, which we still observe going on before us—that is, a number of threads in motion, and the finished fabric slowly rising from this appa rently confused mass. There are also numerous other inventions well worth the inspection of the visitors.

We are glad to learn that this excellent institution, being as yet little more than nine months old, has been thus far very successful. The numerous advan tages which it offers, at a very trifling cost, ought to commend it to a still larger number of subscribers. The list of lectures, announced as " The First Course for the Season," comprises the names of Christian ministers and other gentlemen, whose countenance is an assurance to the public that the Athenreum is de serving their support. The first lecture was deli vered on Monday evening, Oct. 9th, to a numerous attendance of ladies and gentlemen, at Baker and Sou's Public-rooms (which, we understand, are to be permanently taken for the purposes of the Athenaeum), by A. A. Fry, Esq., on "The States men-Orators of England—Pitt, Fox, and Slie-ri dan.'"The lecturer displayed considerable talent in delineating the character of each, and was most happy in his description of their several dis tinguishing peculiarities. The illustrations of their eloquence, from their various published speeches, elicited deserved applause. For an hour and a half the utmost attention was kept up, and every one appeared highly gratified. The second lecture, by the Rev. Dr. Bennett, on " The Nature and Advan tages of the Science of Logic," was still more nu merously attended on Monday evening last. The Rev. Gentleman, with his usual felicity, made this too often dry and uninteresting subject most attrac tively instructive. Few men possess in a higher degree the qualities requisite for a public lecturer than the Doctor. A thorough knowledge of his subject, clear and distinct method of arranging and stating it with a most astonishing command of words—his apposite and forcible illustrations, while a vein of humour runs through the whole—his venerable ap pearance and entire freedom from ostentation, com bined with great kindliness of manner, make one re gard him as the affectionate parent giving instruction to his family. In acknowledging the unanimous thanks of the meeting the Doctor assured thefilfthat it gave him pleasure in contributing to the imparta tion of knowledge, and that such institutions had his best wishes. He regarded them as affording great advantages to youth of the present day, which he re gretted that he himself had not enjoyed, for then he might have been a wiser and better man. At the close it was announced that the third lecture will be delivered by F. Lawrence, Esq., on Monday evening next, on " The Eloquence of the Pulpit and the Bad' —From a Correspondent. FALL OF A. RAILWAY BRIDGE. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. CANTERBURY, FRIDAY EVENING.—The driver of the train, upon getting within a few feet of the bridge, discovered that it was covered with water. Not knowing the cause, he shut off the steam, for the purpose of proceeding very slowly along the re maining portion of the line between the bridge. The impetus given to the train previously prevented the driver from entirely stopping it, and the moment the engine got upon the bridge the driver and stoker saw sufficient to satisfy themselves that the arch was falling. Without an instant's delay both the driver and stoker jumped off the engine, which they had` barely accomplished when the bridge sank with the weight of the engine, the latter falling over on its side and rolling down the embankment into a field. The luggage trucks were pulled by the weight of the engine over, and several of them fell beneath, some into the river and others into the field. Those which remained above were forced into terrible confusion across the line, and were all more or less damaged; some of them which fell into the field were shattered, and the goods partially if not entirely destroyed. ' The driver, stoker, and guards, upon recovering in some measure from their fright, proceeded to send intelligence of the disaster to the chief stations both up and down the line, to prevent any other train from meeting with a similar accident, and having reached the Wye station, it was soon telegraphed to London and to Dover. The moment the news arrived a number of work men, with the railway officials, proceeded with a special train to the scene of the accident. The water was then found to be considerably higher than the level of the bridge, and the sole cause of the misfor tune was the excessive rains having swelled the river to such an height that it had washed away the sup port of the arch, which, the moment the weight of the train came upon it, was forced down. Seeing that the arch could not be repaired until the water should subside, a number of omnibuses and other convey.. antes were placed at the spot, and passengers as they arrive by the trains are landed and conveyed to the next station, where they again enter a train kept th ere in waiting for them. Should the water fall suffi ciently during to-morrow, the bridge, it is expected, will be replaced in the course of a day or two. No one was hurt by the accident beyond a few trivial braises. back h the on As 1 be same •nard izens R 3 to the of in- r the at of Thick ' the :well ye as ate. ands• littee 3 in- /hich Olson. 0 0 r
