Man and his Maker alike condemn that f or 'ch " yields no,fruit," and we find large tracts of laud abandoned Vie same reason that caused the barren fig t ree to he cursed. Th is ra u curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it br in g s u p on the earth ta ini ne: - But the malediction breathes loude st and dee p est into the o` those of the humas race who remain child less in a community rwhich must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only d 0 such encounter the -silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures, I" , their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation ? the wifeless bosom —brings no return for the childless home. is a remarkable fact that the unproduciiveness of soil and tl e cies — arises - from similarity of cause. Some lands are Produce of vitiated strata that yields an OffSprillf as ~n i nealthy as itself. Others nurture In t heir j uices the poison of which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value I 'Y being too early worked, before they are tit for cultivation, Some originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others ; r e ,Polleil by 'unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the f„ant of perseverance a nd nerve in the husbandman. Mark the ana f, -0. : Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom lie aPrings. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine zuCh as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early, Rod ` ) Yerta-sks it too late. Man, hr unwholesome contact can also in fest his f - ame ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance of orga lzation.amidiffidencein his powers. Nor does the analogy Cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have ,)een recently so entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul ture, that fartners.are now enabled to produce crops almost from stone itself; and. In like manner, Sterility in the human race is now renkovablo through the profonnd discoveiles.in physic which enlighten the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been produced which tills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove Sterility altogether. It is from the peri of Messrs. J. L.

Oc introducing this extraordinary and highly Important in vention, it will be necessary, in the first instance, to point out the evils and imperfections arising from all other principles of roasting a.,d preparing Coffee at present in use. Coffee. is almost universally roasted in an iron cylinder, which is turned by hand or steam power over a coke fire. The Coffee is let in and out of the cylinder by means of a slide, which is the whole length of the cylinder, and which it is next to impossible to render perfectly air-tight ; the consequence of this defect is, that the sul plftir,us and noxious fumes of the coke penetrate into the cylinder and mingle with the Coffee. We will suppose, however, the cylinder containing the Coffee to be placed over the fire, which is then co vered in, cylinder and all, and the process of roasting to be,commenc ing. The first evidence of this fact is the vegetable vapour which is given off by the Coffee, and which vapour is more or less impregnated with genic and mallic acids, which acids, acting upon the Iron, form gallates and inalates with that metal. The heat continues, the va pour is condensed, and forms a most noxious fluid, which is mingling with the Coffee, and by the increasing heat is again vap..rised, and is assisted in its destroying work by one of the most powerful acids known, namely, by the pyroligneous acid, which Is now beginning to be given off by the Coffee most freely. This vicious acid continues firming with the iron the acetate thereof, and imparting the same to the Coffee, which receives, in addiCon, a sulphurous flavour from the coke. It =honld he observed, that so astonishingly great is the quan tity of pyroigneous acid formed, that many ounces may be collected from the roasting a single hundred weight of the berry. The action of the pyrAlgneous acid upon either iron or copper cylinders is well known; with the former a compound is formed which, if not de cidedly injurious to health, gives to the berry a most acrid and dis agreeable flavour; whilst, with the latter, the result is verdigris. Again, by the usual roasting process, which is notliine more nor less than a species of destructive distillation, what possible chance has the aroma of this valuable berry of being properly developed? Supposing for one moment that it were properly developed, it is we:l known to be exceedingly volatile, and would quickly escape through the crevices in the slide of the cylinder ; whilst the vegetable vapour, being exceedingly sluggish, and containing the vicious and noxious acids, would remain behind, giving to the Coffee that cankerous, acrid, and metallic taste, that renders the infusions of this otherwise most valuable and wholesome berry a beverage avoided by the deli cate, and highly injurious to the health of many who consume it. For guarding against all these evils, and for doing away with all those long-complained-of imperfections, her Most Gracious Majesty has been pleased to grant to Dakin and Company her Royal Letters Patent. i lie plan en which "Dakin's Royal Patent Coffee" is roasted and prepared is as follows :—The iron cylinder is altogether done away with, and the Coffee is -never, under any circumstance, allowed to come in•contact with Iron. A SILVER cylinder is substituted, and• the heat is obtained by means of the atmospheric air passed over hot plates, by which plan, as neither the fire, nor the fumes thereof, are in any way a:lowed to be in contact with the cylinder, the evils arising from the sulphurous vapours of the coke mixing with the Coffee are entirely avoided The sILV ER cylinder is so constructed that, though apertures made for the purpose, the vegetable vapour walch contains the vicious acids from the Coffee, is allowed to es cape, whilst the apertures, being closeable at pleasure,, are imme diately closed as soon as this. the first part of the process of roasting, is accompl'shed. The SILVER cylinder then becomes air tight, and the aroma, which otherwise would escape, is condensed on the berry, which thereby contains all its valued and inherent excellence. The Coffee, after being sufficiently roasted in a SILVER cylinder, and after being cooled down in a SILVER cooler, is ready for purchasers who buy- their Coffee whole : whilst the Coffee that Is supplied ground, is pulverised between powerful stones, and for better preservation from the atmosphere, is recommended to purchasers packed in glass bottle, containing two pounds each, which are corked down air-tight, and sealed with the Royal Arms. DAKIN and CO. will have great pleasure in showing many testi monials which the) have received from the most eminent physicians, surgeons, and gentlemen of the faculty, as to the beneficial effects and advantages of " Dakin's Royal Patent Coffee." The following certificate of Mr. Alfred S. Taylor and Mr. Arthur Aikin, the great authorities on chemistry, medical jurisprudence, ;and the sanitary question, will, however, no doubt be deemed conclusive:— " We hereby certify that we have chemically examined four " varieties of coffee—namely, best Mocha, Jamaica, Very Fine and " Good Plantation (Ceylon) Coffee, both in the raw state and as " prepared and roasted by the patent process of Messrs. Dakin. We " have likewise chemically examined samples of the same varieties " of Coffee roasted at the same time in the usual way, and the result " of this examination is that in delicacy of flavour, odour, and as an articl. of diet, the Coffee prepared by Messrs. llakin's process is, in our judgment, superior to that prepared in the ordinary way. " We Lave also examined the apparatus used by Messrs. Dakin for roasting Coffee, and we find that all the surfaces with which the Coffee comes in contact during this process are of silver. 'We find aiso that great care is taken so to regulate the degree of heat and the mode of its application as to render necessary a longer time and lower temperature to effect the roasting, whereby all risk of charring the berry or of producing empyreumatic oil is prevented, the separation of acid vapour is more gradual and com plete, and a larger portion of aroma is retained than occurs in the usual methods of coffee roasting. " The process of Messrs. Dakin appears to us, therefore, in a chemical view, better adapted than any yet suggested for procuring roasted Coffee in a pure and wholesome form.

They are not merely atmahlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral seribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's ate, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob .ervance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he -could be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always 0 the " sunny side M the way."

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 than ambition. No man is exempt Irons its influence, 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 ninon does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this g.hien tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in tho heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all times upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and rifler a life time spent. in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?

Barley: we had a, little offering of the new crop, the quality of which was middling; rates demanded 36s to 38s per quarter without leading to any sales.

DEVIZES, SEPT. 14.—We have had a very short sup ply of Wheat for the time of year, but a good attendance of dealers, and every thing in fair condition was sold at an advance of from 2s to 3s a quarter on both old and new; the only lots left unsold being some.vcry soft and out of condition new Wheats.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 15.—At this day's market there was a good attendance of town and country dealers, with a fair show of Wheat, but small of all other articles. The demand for free Wheat was very moderate, at a decline generally of Id to 2d per 701bs; for bonded, however, there was a good inquiry, and few parcels on' the spot or afloat being offered, prices were fully supported. There are scarcely any" oAts or old Oatmeal here, and, conse quently very full prices were realized. New Irish Oat meal brought 32s to 325. 6d per load. Barley, Beans, and Peas met a slow sale, without any material change in value. Indian Corn was in fair request, yet prices gave way Is to 2s per quarter; and Corn Meal met little attention at 17s barrel. The transactions in Flour were unusually limited. English was rather easier to purchase. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Sim 15. . _ STOCK EXCHANGE.—The Share Market remains in a very depressed state.

Her Majesty and the Prince walked this morning in the grounds of Balmoral, after which his Royal Highness went out deer-stalking. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by his royal sisters, and attended by Miss Halyard, also went out walking. BALMORAL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. For the first time, since th e arr i va l o f th e Court here, her Majesty had yesterday an opportunity to enjoy the delightful scenery of her beautiful and romantic Highland retreat. The day was a bril liant autumnal one, although a sharp breeze prevailed during the morning; but about noon the wind gra dually lulled, when the air became mild and serene. Soon after eleven o'clock the Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and attended by Viscountess Canning, the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, and Sir James Clark, rode out on horseback. On passing over Cratline-bridge, Prince Albert and Sir George Grey left the royal party, and rode over the hills, to have a few hours' sport on the grounds of Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., who holds a lease of the shootings of Gairn-e-Shiel. Sir B. Hall's shoot ing lodge is situate on the banks of the Gairn, a con siderable stream, that takes its rise near the source of the Don, on the south side of Ben Avon, and falls into the Dee about three miles above Ballater, and the neighbouring moors are well streaked with game. The scenery on its banks is bleak and mountainous, with little wood for shelter, beauty, and variety. Her Majesty and Viscountess Canning and party , continued their ride towards Invergeldie, and re turned to the Castle shortly before two o'clock to luncheon. In the afternoon the Queen, accompanied by the Countess of Gainsborough, Viscountess C ann i ng , and Lord Alfred Paget, again rode out a considerable distance along the south side of the Dee, and about four o'clock the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and Prince Alfred, and attendants, enjoyed a ride of four miles up the river side. Th e fi neness of the weather apparently induced her Majesty and the whole of the inmates of the royal residence to avail themselves of the opportunity that offered of seeing the varied scenery by which the Castle is environed. The route selected by the Queen was one of the most agreeable, the scenery being the most magnifi cent for miles around. After passing Craignordie, at the base of which is Craig-na-gugheen, from which, in days of yore, the Farquharsons of Invercauld derived their slogan (war -cry), a splendid vista of mountain and forest, open to the eye through the narrow pass . between the hills of Craig-spanni e an d Craig sperm, the latter meaning the hill of the nose, from . its resemblance to that feature, on the one hand, and on the other the fine valley contained between Craig spenie and Balloch Bowie. Her Majesty expresse d ber delight i n v i ew i ng the attractions presented, and, occasionally, the royal party were brought to a stand to enjoy the scene around them. After the return of his Royal Highne s s Prince Albert and Sir George Grey from Sir Benjamin Hall's, they joined the Queen and royal party. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and the several members of the royal household, being desir ous to inspect the process of the distillation of the national beverage, honoured the Loch-na-gar Distil lery with a visit. Mr. Begg, one of the p ropr i etors, met the royal visitors on their approach, and con ducted them through the works. It fortunately happened the distillery was in full oper a ti on, f or i t was actually the last day on which it could be worked until the new crop is ready. Prince Albert minutely examined all the operations, and asked many ques tions, although he was fully acquainted with the general principles on which the process was con ducted. Mr. Begg explained each department, from the drying and mashing of the malt till the liquor became the real " mountain dew." The Prince tasted some of the liquor, and her Majesty also con descendingly put the vessel to her lips. The Prince Consort thanked the worthy proprietor for his courtesy. All those employed on the establishment celebrated the honour conferred on the distillery by the royal visit in the evening. The Earl of Aberdeen has arrived from Haddo House on a visit to her Majesty, and has been out _ !Lt. t • bagged nine brace of grouse. The Braemar gathering, appointed for to-morrow, was postponed for a fortnight, in expectation of the auspicious presence of the Queen and Court to their party. It is quite dependant on the weather if the Queen goes or not, but his Royal Highness Pr ince Albert is to be present. Great preparations are being made for rendering it worthy the presence of the august visitors. The Duke of Leeds and the Hon. Sir Alexander Duff have distinguished guests visiting at their respective residences expressly to be specta tors of the exciting exhibition, and the Duke of Atholl, it is said, is to bring over from Blair Atholla band of his Highlanders, and other chiefs with their clansmen are to attend. The North British Daily Mail of yesterday sup plies the following interesting details : "It was generally known that the Queen and Prince Albert would be present at worship at Crathie parish church on Sunday, but the circumstance did not cause any of that-excitement which was supposed to have been highly and justly offensive to her Majesty at Blair Athol. The church is a small building, and was quite full, but not over-crowded. The congregation appeared to con sist entirely of the parishioners, who may have attended is larger numbers than is usually the case, but none of the people from neighbouring parishes seemed to be pre sent. The visitors at 13allater, eight miles lower on the river, were not there; and the attendance was not equal to the numbers who would be present on a communion Sabbath. Crathie pariah church stands on a slope of a range of mountains that are separated there by the valley of the Dee. Balmoral Castle occupies a similar and slightly elevated position on the opposite bank. The valley at that point is much contracted; but the popula tion is considerable, and the houses have a comfortable appearance generally. The communication between the north and south banks of the river is dmain tained by a chain bridge, of a fragile appearan ce, and doubtful character. Before the arrival of her M a j est y , it had been exposed to a strain of two tons, and was found to yield little; but the trustees have taken the precaution of intimating, on large boards on each pier, that not more than one loaded cart should pas 3 the bridge at once. The precaution aea rs to be highly necessary, for even und er th e tread of three or four passengers, the bridge yields more than consists with a feeling of comfort in bridge-crossing. The river at the spot is broad and rapid, and the channel rocky, while from the nature of the banks on each side, the platform of the bridge has a high elevation. The view westward is confined by the ranges of mountains that seem to close in the world in that direction, as the river bends round the base of the hill on which Balmoral Castle is built. The view eastward from the bridge is singularly beauti ful, and has a combination of scenery not often sur patsed, even in the Ilighlands. The church was specially whitewashed and cleaned, the pulpit neatly covered with cloth, the front seats of the gallery decorated and painted, and the pew set apart for her Majesty and the Prince covered with crimson cloth, and a small canopy of crimson fringe was suspended from the roof. The improvements were very neatly done, and not out of keeping with the unpretending character of a 'highland church, which is seldom or ever attended by a proprietor. The only proprietors in the pariah are the Earl of Fife, who is under trustees; Colonel Gordon, of Abergeldie, wh is in the same position; and Mr. Farquharson, of Invercauld. The Rev. Mr. Anderson, who is minister of the parish, conducted the services in the form usual in the Church of Scotland. lie read part of the last ad dress of Moses to the Israelites, and made some remarks elicited by the passage on the nature and character of national sins. His text was the 36th verse in the Bth chapter of John's Gospel. The rev. gentleman is not a pleasing speaker. His voice is harsh, and admits, appa rently, of no modulation. He would not have been ac counted some time since a favourable representative of the parochial ministry of Scotland; but the composition of his discourse was better than the delivery. It was remarkable for brevity, and occupied exactly twenty five minutes. It was singularly faithful, and calculated to be remembered by the highest and lowest of its hearers; not from the eloquence of the preacher, nor from the character of the style, but from the plain, downright truths it contained, and tho personal applica tion made of them to the state of every human being. "Crathie church on this occasion p re sented one of the i we re seated n ex t t h e Queen of finest illustrations that the world can exhibit of the equality of all the creatu res before Go d. Peasant girls i in printed cotton, and Hig hland matro ns in their snow of t h e Hi g hest, and that they prof esse d therein was h an sg m i t i e a nod se ansdp u thet f caps r an e d c pl a wl , no t merely to the hi g h personages whole appearance of th e congregation there but to the practical fe elin g t hat this was a place of to be engaged. The pre acher read th e 61 st paraphrase,and the word had evident l y esca ped the Queen, who turned round to a young man in the pew im me di ately behind, and requested him, apparently, to show her the place,' as people say in Scotland. "At the conclusion of the service there*was very little displayof curiosity.

The gentleman would have been considered by a passenger one of the finest-looking men in Scotland. The laxly would have been regarded as remarkably pleasing—or kind-hearted —but, at the same time having a large share of intellect and decision in her appearance. As the people before and behind exhibited no unusual feeling regarding them, and only a two-horse carriage was in waiting on the south side of the bridge, a stranger in these parts might have supposed that he had met a landlord, his lady, and their tenantry on the way from church. Europe, or the world, had no finer spectacle, notwithstanding its appa rent simplicity. The lady was the Queen of the widest and the greatest empire of the world ; the gentleman was her consort, and, from his position, the first in the land; their guards were the devotion and affection of their people, rising not merely from cold foundation of duty, but from respect and love to the character of the purest and the best Sovereign of a long line of Kings. And yet the preacher had spoken of troublous times in the Church they had left—troublous times that might have even shaken the strong structure of the British constitu tion except for the character of the lady who held the sceptre of the state. " At the south side of the bridge a small number of the people whose road lay down the river waited until the Queen's carriage came up, took off their hats or bon nets, and bowed. " There was, we think, no occurrence that could give umbrage to the Queen, who is known to be opposed to any great manifestation, even of respect, in such circumstances." [PRICE SD. IRELAND. THE INSURRECTION. DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.—The accounts re ceived this morning from the south are gratifying to the extent of proving that the previous accounts were grossly exaggerated, and that the gatherings of the peasantry were more of a local and agrarian than a political nature. The truth is, the general policy of the landlords has almost driven the people to despera tion, and we believe there is no longer any doubt of the recent meetings at Slievenamon having been caused by the seizures and evictions by which Tipperary, Waterford, Limerick, and Clare have recently been distinguished. It appears now that the previous state ments, as to the insurrection, were not only grossly exaggerated, but that they contained very little of any truth. The bridge at Granagh was not blown up by the rebels, nor was there any reason to believe that several of the peasantry had been shot. By the train which arrived at Kingsbridge this morning, we learn that everything was tranquil, and that little fear was entertained of even an attempt at ' an outbreak. The following appears in the Freeman's Journal of this morning : "Kilkenny, Thursday Evening, Sept. 14. " The districts of this and the adjoining county of Tipperary, which were disturbed during the beginning of the week, now wear an aspect of the utmost calm, and the people seem to be engaged in the fields at their usual avocations, as if nothing uncommon had recently occur red in the neighbourhood. Rumour is, of course, still busy, and we have flying reports of beacon-fires on the hills around Dungarvan, in the county of Waterford, last night, and of a meeting, this morning, of a large con course of peasantry, at a place called Bawndonnell, a portion of the Slievenamon range, but situate imme- . diately oa the opposite side of the mountain from Aheny. To these reports, however, I give but little credence, and I have no revolutionary' intelligence to impart to you which could be considered based upon any authority. " Major-General M'Donald is in this city, with his Aid-de-Camp, Lieutenant M'Donald, and his military secretary, Lieutenant-Colonel Wood. Captain Roberts, Assistant Inspector-General of Constabulary, has ' also arrived here to take command of the police force of the district.' The battalion of the 60th Rifles, which arrived from Dublin by the late train of yesterday evening, are still encamped in the barrack square here. The head-quarters of the 83d re giment proceeded from Callan this-morning to Fethard, en route for Fermoy. Two companies of the 75th, which have been for sometime encamped at Callan, also left that town this morning, and had marched within two miles of Kilkenny, intending to join head-quarters, when they received a dispatch from General 111.1)onald, order ing them to remain in their ' former position. They accordingly returned to Callan, and again pitched their tents there. Orders were received by the commanding officer of the 83d, to leave 200 of his men in Fethard for the present. _ _ It is asserted here that a farmer, residing in the neighbourhood of Bawnconnell, and obnoxious to the peasantry, was this morning shot by some of the people. This is stated on authority to which, under ordinary cir cumstances, credence would be fully due. But at pre sent I would be reluctant to vouch for the accuracy of any report not officially authenticated. " The driver of the Cionmel car, who arrived here at eight o'clock this evening, states that the most perfect tranquillity prevailed along the entire of his route through Tipperary. ' The Southern Reporter, referring to the distur bances at Granagh Bridge, assures us that they were not political, but social. They arise, that journal says, " from the relations between landlord and tenant. We have been assured that scarcely a load of agricultural produce is sent to market without a person empowered by the landlord, his agent, the bailiff, or his agent, accompanying it to market, and receiving from the buyer the price of the commodity, giving to the grower anything, dr nothing--just as he pleased. This has maddened the people, and it is more than feared it will cause a general rising all over, at least, the south of Ireland. It is said that a seizure of crops was the immediate cause of the out break." • . - COURT CIRCULAR.

THE DUCHESS OF KENT.—Powless House is re ported to be taken for twelve months for her Royal Highness. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—The tvvo houses at West Cowes, taken for her Majesty, having been found to be too small for the Royal establish ment, orders have been given to relet them. Morris Castle was also partly prepared for Queen Adelaide, but has now been given up. Numbers of our fashionable visitors have left, and several houses have been taken again for the bathing season (September and October), the rents of which have been reduced to one-half what they were in &Mid in tfie L eila - to - 6e titite l icfini i ntageof the pro prietors. They had better let for half the amount before paid than keep their houses empty. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE ARIADNE YACHT.— About half-past ten on the evening of Sunday, the 3d inst., Lord Godolphin's yacht the Ariadne, of 84 tons then standing down channel, with a south south-east wind, when off Portland, with scarcely wind enough to stem the tide, they saw a large steamship standing up towards them, at about half a mile distance. The captain showed a lantern and burnt a blue light to no effect. He burnt a second, and the distance was reduced to a quarter of a mile, but to no purposd ; the fiery monster bore straight down on them till they were within two hundred yards, when the shout ing of all on board the yacht at last made her situa tion known to the officers of the steamer, who called out " Hard a starboard !" which was immediately done, and they passed within a few feet, never even stopping their speed or taking any further notice. Those in the yacht had given themselves up for lost, and had their cries not been heard at the moment, and the steamer's course altered, the yacht would have been cut down, and it is more than probable all on board would have perished. It is said that the steamer has since proved to be the Hermann, from-New York. The burning of blue lights having so often failed to give the necessary notice, it is suggested to try rockets. If a sky-rocket had been let off from the yacht right over the steamer, it would have given notice, not only to the men who ought to have been on the look-out, but to all on the deck of the steamer, while the blue light would not be seen by any aft of the steamer's lights.

STATE OF KERRY. KILLARNEY, SEPT. 11.—On Saturday last there was a meeting of the depositors in the Killarney savings' bank held in the Court-house, to prepare an address to Mr. llerbert, M.P. for the county, el pres sive of their gratitude for the services he had rendered and the unabated zeal with which he urged their claims upon _ the _ Government r althpagbl„ 0,,t1 - 1814 and expressed their satisfaction in a short and well written address, which will soon be presented to their excellent representative. It is certainly due to Mr. Herbert to state, that he has fulfilled his duty to his constituents, and although a Conservative, voted for the few popular questions which came before the House of Commons in the last session. The condition of the people in this part of the country is most disheartening. They had expected to retrieve their bank losses in some degree by the crops of this year. But they have been sadly and bit terly disappointed. The failure of the potato here is all but universal. One third of the quantity dug does not prove sound, and what is still worse, the decay is rapidly on the increase. The farmers say that the last week of fine weather, instead of retard ing, has accelerated the corruption of the tubers. The poor people are utterly bewildered. Two years of famine were followed by the loss of 20,0001. in the savings' bank ; and now comes another potato blight to complete their misery ! Another cause of depression which operates very extensively, although strictly local in its character, is this—the chief produce of Kerry consists of butter, pork, and black or " dry" cattle, for exportation to the midland and northern counties. Butter this year is nearly 20s. a cwt. lower than in the last ; pork has fallen in price before American competition ; and the sale of horned stock has almost altogether ceased. The jobbers, who purchased largely at the fairs for inland traffic, and expended consi derable sums among the mountain breeders, by which they were enabled to pay the March rent—this useful class has been put completely hors de combat by the bank failure. They draw out their money in the beginning of summer, purchased cattle, and after realising a good profit in the interior, returned the aggregate amount to the savings' bank until the fol lowing year. This class of dealers has been utterly extinguished, and the stock of dry cattle remains un sold on the hands of the farmers. There is a rumour here that a landlord of high pre tensions, who has received a large sum for drainage, has been paying his labourers with meal, and realis ing a profit on the sweat of misfortune. This per version of the public money, which the Earl of Cla 7 rendon appears to have fresh in his mind's eye when lashing certain of the Irish landlords, c oram Mr. Beasley, was represented to the Board f Works, and the proprietor has in consequence been ordered to Dublin to render an account touching the money and the meal. It would be well such practices were checked in time, for, without inculpating the gentle man referred to, it is unquestionable that the public money has been very widely jobbed in this county as elsewhere. Since assistance is expected from the state in the coming winter, an example or two among the " meal-mongering" proprietors would greatly tend to keep straight their dealings with the :pea santry and their accounts with the Board of Works. The Board of Works is presidinglover the erection of a sumptuous lunatic asylum within a short distance of this town. The estimate of the work, of which Sir Thomas Deane is the contractor, is not less than 28,0001., to provide accommodation for 250 inmates, or at a rate of 1101, or so per head! People here imagine that a modest and convenient structure, which would cost about 10,0001., would be prefer able to the bastard and unappropriate piece of archi tecture which is to link arms withthe poor-house on the other side of the road. Colonel Jones has been down here on a tour of inspection, but he suddenly returned to Dublin last week for some object con nected with the Premier's 'visit. Our beautiful lakes are comparatively deserted this season, for " when sorrows come, they come not single." Real famines deterred strangers before— now immaginary rebellions do the same work. You might hear an odd bugle, or the occasional and musical plash of the oar on so me fine tinßoorsnsi.ngsor But evenings while standing on the q ua y the old and buisy life of innkeepers,:bonaotmdeenje,uann,sd buglers is extinguished.

SUDD EN DEATH OF SIR RICH ARD LEVINGE, BART. This gentlemen suddenly dropped dead at four o'clock on last Tuesday evening, while out on a walk in the grounds of his princely residence, ,Knock drin Castle. He was, up to the fatal moment., in his usual good health, and had reached his sixtieth year. go He was distingu;shed from the great majority of his class IT his permanent residence on his estate, by the extensive improvements which he had made on his demesne, thereby afford ing employment on a large scale, and by his encou ragement of all efforts at introducing among the peasantry a batter Oan of agriculture than that hitherto in we: He was the first to. introduce into the province.of Leinster the manufacture of tiles for the rough draining, which have since been so exten sively—aro so profitably used. COnservativein I politics, Sir Richard did - not, 'we believe, treat ilia iianfry, who differ d om hi in opinion and acted on that convicti , with e severity than did other landlords in similar circumstances, who had less redeeming traits of character than had the resident Baronet to counterbalance that evil. The family property, to which the oldest son of the deceased, Lieutenant. Colonel of the Westmeath Militia, now in his 34th year, succeeds, is said to be worth 8,000/. per annum. We have been given to understand .that if the son be like his father in his capacity of land lord his tenantry will be content. VISIT OF THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE TO IRELAND. The Marquis of Lansdowne, President of the Council, whose intended visit to Ireland has been already stated, is expected this day. The Noble Marquis, attended by the Marchioness and the Earl of Shelburne, were to arrive at the George Hotel, Holyhead, on Friday (this day), at which place ar rangements have been made for their reception. The Banshee steamer was to be in readiness, and the party were to sail in the course of the evening. It is state;] that the visit of the Noble Marquis is part* official, and that he is anxious to avail himself of the most correct information with respect to the real position of the country. The Noble Marquis has " tensive so e m st e at w es eek in s.__ lre F la r n e d e) , lla a n nd ofi pu t r li p s os m es or r n e i m ng ai . ning here for INTELLIGENCE. ordsorthi Admi_ PORTSMOUTH, 16.—The reify slept last night and breakfasted this morning at the George Hotel, after which, Lieutenant Herrick, their Lordships' Flag-Lieutenant, embarked the whole party in the Admiralty barge, at the Sallyport-stairs, and steered for the depot ship Illustrious, Captain Yates, flag of Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8.; the second in ccrrn [nand. The Victory saluted as the barge, with the flag flying, passel up the harbour. On board the Illustrieus the whole of the " ordinary" was mustered. Their Lordships then went on board the Blake, the depOt ship of the steam squadron; Captain Horatio Austin, C." 3., and. Commander Stevens received the Board, who mus tered the steatn-staff after the .same manner as the or dinary. The Admiralty then landed at the King's stairs, in the dockyard, about twelve o'clock, where all the officers of the establishment received them and con ducted them over the yard. • At the Camber-dock their Lordships were met by Mr. Peter Bolt, the contractor for the immense works completed end in progress in this establishment, and his superintendent, Mr. Edmund Smith, C.E. This Camber, deck is progressing very ra pidly, at which their Lordships expressed their satisfac tion. They the e ermsed over to the west factory on-the edge of the steam•basin, and ascended to the highest story. Here the Earl of Auckland' expressed his gra tification to Mr. Bolt at the appearance and pito grms of the structure, the whole of which, under the 'indefatigable superintendence of Mr. Murray, the engi neer-in-chief of the establishment, will, before Many months, be in full, activity. From this part of the works their Lordships went and surveyed the new dock (No. 9) building, adjacent to the patent slips. They afterwards returned, and crossing over , the caisson of the basin, took a view of the extension of the sett wall building by Mr. Rah. The Centaur steam-frigate in the basin was then boarded by their Lordships, who were received by Commander Stevens, of the steam squadron. This vessel was fully inspected, as was the Retribution, also in the basin, after which the whole party proceeded to the mansion of Sir Charles Ogle to luncheon. At two o'clock their Lordships inspected the Central Mathematical School under the superintendence of Professor Woolley, and the Dockyard School, under Head- master Raw.on. The csnduct of the establishment and the proficiency of the pupils yielded the highest satisfaction to the Board. Lord John flay and Captain Berkeley then went on board the Plumper screw schooner in the harbour, while the other members of the Beard went to the battery field ; here again Mr. Bolt and Mr. Smith escorted the official party over their work, which is upon a most extensive scale, the hard and road for the use of the public in lieu of the others taken into the improvements of the locality being among the principal features. On passing to this quarter in the morning, their Lordships inspected the inlets of the steam basin, the estimates for which will be introduced into next year's budget. After a most minute inspection of the whole internal economy of the dockyard, their Lordships adjourned to their hotel, and thence to Admiral Superintendent Pres cott's to dinner. The following comprised the party:— Rear-Admiral Prescott, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Lord Auckland, Lord John Hay, Beard-Admiral Dundas, Captain Berkeley, Captain Milne, Captain Yates, Cap tain James, Captain H. Eden, Colonel Irvine, Colonel Powell, Sir B. Walker, Captain Ellice, Mr. Ward, Mr. Fincham, Mr. Brown, and Flag- Lieutenant Aplin. The Adventure naval store transport, Peter Welling ton master, was towed to Spithead by the Echo steam tug this morning, and sailed immediately for Plymouth. She took all the supernumeraries from this port. The Plumper screw steam-vessel arrived this morning from Woolwich, in the charge of Lieutenant Robert Robertson, of the Fisgard. She is to try rates of steam. ing to-morrow with the Termagant and the Encounter. A vast quantity of shot and iron ballast has been put on board the Ajax to counter-balance the ill effect pro duced by the misplacing her engines. She has been, in consequence, brought to the draught of 18 feet 7 inches ful . W £4Agu awilt/.1-112-Q-Yer iclery, 22, flag-ship; lustrious, 10; Blake hulk, temporary guard-ship of steamers; Excellent, gunnery exercise-ship; Cyclops, Devastation, Fairy, Myrtle, Lightning, Echo, and Adelaide steamers; Fanny and Portsmouth, Admiral's yachts.

Woon.wicu, SEPT. 15.—The Vesuvius steam-sloop, Commander Austen, was paid off to-day at this port. The Arrogant steam-frigate, with auxiliary screw propeller, and the Sharpshooter and Styx steam-vessels, are in the docks, having some alterations effected, and being made ready for sea. The Firebrand, Flamer, Janus, Medina, Prometheus, and Vulture steam-vessels, are in the basins fitting for sea, and the Ariel steam vessel fitting with a smoke consuming apparatus. The Fisgard frigate, the Vesuvius, Monkey, Charon, and the Niger, steam-vessels, are in the harbour, and the latter will be again tried in a few days. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have or dered that the 32-pounder guns, 24 in number, are to 1 be taken to the Royal Arsenal, with the guns of the Ar tillery Companies, for preservation during the winter. . The 32-pounders are mcunted on ship or garrison car riages, for the exercises of the Boat Brigade, and the field-battery guns for the Artillery Companies. The receipt of this order renders it probable that there will . not be any inspection of the Dockyard Brigades by the Lords of the Admiralty during the present year. CHATHAM, SEPT. 15.—The Wildfire steamer, tender to the Port Admiral at Sheerness, is to be=taken in dock to-morrow at this yard to have the defects of her hull and machinery made good. The Columbia steam-sloop, in dock, making good her defects and • fitting for sea, has had her temporary deck removed. She is to be armed with four 32-pounders, 25 cwt. each, broadside guns, and they are to he fitted on Hardy's transporting slides. The Warspite, 50, fitted for guns, is to be removed to-morrow to her moorings in Long•reach, Gillingham. A party of shipwrights left Sheerness Dockyard yes terday for the purpose of assisting in the undocking of La Hogue steam-guard ship, at Green's building-yard, at Bhielcwall, this day, whets she will be navigated to Woolwich, and •to•morrow she is to be towed to Sheer ness. Last eveni❑g I sergeant, 1 corporal, and 14 privates of the Royal Marines, arrived at this division in charge of First• Lieutenant M'Cart by, from Portsmouth, having been paid off from the Ferret sloop, and the Crocodile, 8 guns, receiving-ship. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—MF. William P..,yne held an inquest on Thursd a y, i n St. B ar tholo- - mew's Hospital, on the body of Sarah Middleton, aged 81. The deceased lived with her son, at 68, WynYard street, Goswell-street. and about six weeks back she went into the workshop to look for a broom. Her grandchildren told her that the broom was not there, and us soon as she left the shop, they fastened the doors, and looking out of the window they began laughing at her. The deceased, exasperated at the conduct of the children, got out upon a zinc flat, and having found a broom, she was in the act of striking the children with it, when she overbalanced herself and fell off the flat upon her head, a distance of nearly vefe c e o L piou S s h ly e was picked up in aninsensible stat e, bleeding t wel from the injury to the head, and died yesterday in the above institut ion.
