BY SAMUEL LA'MEiIT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Ace. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the "o'cil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when ahnsed.the orolitic source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subiect. , . This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions In health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it ttafortunately happens that the unhappy ,victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, anwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it oan be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that ho is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MEIIT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Mr. Thomas Saunders. TREASURER—Mr. Patrick Watson. SECRETARY — Mr. William Boyack. The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted but unfor tunate Poet of Inverury, beg leave briefly hut earnestly to appeal to the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, in behalf of the trust which has been confided to them. The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his Rinse have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form, but in various periodicals. Ills talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges ; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de ♦eted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of praise to which they considered his merits entitled. The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the Hawkhill of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend his latter days in comparative peace and quiet. llis wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his last on Monday, the 28th of February. He has left a widow and three infant children, the youngest but flue months old, totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Commitcee has been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey, Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un• olstrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which . the Committee have in view. Dundee, March 10, 1848. Contributions will be received by any of the Members of Commit. tee ; and at the shops of Messrs. Chalmers, Shaw, and Middleton. Booksellers, and Mr. Mille, Perfumer, Dundee. DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INITERLTRY POET. (To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.") I)mndcc, February 29, 1648. Sir,--The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For some time past he kad been in delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his honourable aid sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half past eleven a.m., he departed this life. Ile has left behind him something more than a name—some true and beautiful strains. which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will riot willingly sutler, like the Inscription en the coffin, to be buried in the tomb. lie has left behind him, alas I something of yet ten derer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children, th 7 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere this to the charity of the streets. I make HO appeal in behalf of the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." He has found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. or will I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly poetic usage. He was caressed, hut not fed ; as if one could sup on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years ! But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of Ills destitute lamily. I would implore every lover of literature— every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's lyrics, or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meeting with and hearing him for the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be, dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and others. But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death bed, let us follow the start we have accidervally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns. Messrs. Chainlero, Middleton, and Shaw, Dookmaterei, and Mr Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest sums will be welcomed I ROI, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE GILFILLAI.C. The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before his death : SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE. Tune—" Miller o' Dee." While we laugh aad sing, in this happy ring, With a bright and a brotherly glee, May we never forget that the sun bath set On the homes of misery. For oh I it may be that this chill night wind Sweeps round some fireless hearth, Freezing the heart of the homeless one, With never a friend on earth. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright Sid brotherly glee ; Yet never forget that the sun may set On the houses of misery. Man was not made for this world alene, The world was lent to man ; 'Tls a debt we owe to Heaven, you know, Then pay it as well as you can. . Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow, With his pelting rain and his hail ; May it never be said that hunger and woe Held abiding in bonny Dean Vale. Thin aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee, And never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. W. THOM.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY. —The Ocean Steam Navigation Company's new steamer Hermann arrived at Cowes this afternoon, at half past four o'clock. Her mails, with what passengers she brought for England, were immediately transhipped on board the Ruby steamer, which boat had been waiting her arrival, and conveyed to i his port. There were about eight or ten passengers brought by the Ruby, and about the same number proceeded on to Bremen, the Hermann proceeding thither immediately on the mails and passengers being put on board the latter. The Hermann left Halifax on the 29th ult., after having undergone some repairs to her machinery, which got deranged in a heavy gale. She is a fine-looking boat, after the Washington model, and made the passage from Halifax in good style. Her mails will be forwarded by the midnight train. The intelligence is of the same date as that brought by the Cambria. The Observer of Sunday, April 9, gave twelve folio columns of Chartist movements, including upwards of three columns of the Saturday proceedings of the National Convention. Mr. Feargus O'Connor's speech at length, preparations of the Government, and all the latest particulars of the intended demonstration. It may be asked, why is the Observer enabled on every po pular occasion to do so much better than other journals? The reply is, that the establishment of the Observer is equal to that of all the other Sunday papers put toge ther; so far as regards editors and reporters, the Observer is on an equality with nearly all the daily newspapers. The Observer gave a column of Saturday's proceedings at a meeting of surveyors at Freemason's Tavern, Saturday's Marylebone Vestry, &c. &c.—Price of the Observer 6d. Monday's edition at Four Monday after noons. ARREST OF A MAN IN POSSESSION or SOME OF TEE CROWN JEWELS OF FRANCE.—The ilioniteur Beige of the 10th inst. says :—" The/Vouvelliste of Flanders says that the police have arrested a man, named Van Doorne, whose wife and family lived in Flanders, but who was himself a workman in Paris, and occasionally visited them. In February Van Doorne was in Paris, but reappeared at Bruges in the beginning of: March. Contrary to his usual custom, he sported a good deal of money, which he distributed among some workmen. This excited the attention of the local police, who kept an eye upon him. Last Saturday the Commissioner of the Police was informed by a M. do Voss that Van Doorne had called upon him and requested him to buy some jewels. The Commissioner instantly repaired to the dwelling of Van Doorne, and, after a search of several hours, succeeded in discovering a small box containing diamonds of the crown of France, of great value. Among the jewels was the eagle of the imperial crown, several stores of which had been already removed. Van Doorne declared that he had not stolen these jewels, but had picked them up in the court of the Tuileries." AVEYNIOUTLI.—A large piece of silver, weighing about sixty ounces (called by the Portianders Duckey Stone), was found a few days siric.? On the Portland beach, by a poor man. A number these lumps of silver have been found there at various times. It is thought that there are a great many still left, the re mains of a wreck many years since.

The Chisholm will preside. It aims generally to improve the condition of the labouring classes throughout Scotland, by various suitable means. It however, has at this time six hun dred improved acre farms in Giuloch, cultivated on Bel gian principles of husbandry, under the superintendence of the honorary secretary, and two hundred of the Edin burgh workmen, who have no empl,yinent at their own trades, are at this time occupied in spade husbandry on the Patriotic Society's land, at Edinburgh. The society at this juncture is most useful among the Scottish it ia bouring classes, and will, we trust, rally round the support of all who wish to keep those classes from de mocratic influence.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT OLD COURT. DESPERATE ASSAULT.—CharIes Empey, aged 23, a smith, and Alexander Pickett, aged 20, labourer, were indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding a police constable, named Pickett, with the intention of doing him some grievous bodily harm. It appeared that on the evening of the 21st of March the prisoner and several others created much disturbance by singing and other noises outside a public house in Holloway. The constable interfered, and was grossly attacked by the prisoners, and several others, amounting to the number of twenty. The prisoners were, however, more violent than t he rest. Empey wrested ' his truncheon and rattle from him, and struck and kicked him, and at length threw him on the ground, and jumped upon his body, in which he was assisted by the other prisoners. A number of large stones were thrown, and the witnesses stated it was re markable that the constable was not killed. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and Empey was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment and hard labour, and Pickett to 12 months. Henry Nicks, a person of respectable appearance, was indicted for stealing a gold watch, value 201, the pro perty of Henry Willson. Mr. Platt prosecuted, and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. The circumstances under which the charge was pre ferred were of rather a singular character. The prose cutor is the landlord of the Cold Arms public-house, Limehouse, and on the 22d of March, the prisoner, who, it appeared, was respectably connected, went to the house in question, accompanied by a person named Jackson, and the latter invited him, with the consent of the land lady, to go up stairs to tee the club-room. They ac cordingly went up stairs, and Jackson entered the room, supposing the prisoner was following him, but he missed him, and in calling out to him, he found that he had gone into Mrs. Willson's bed-room, and he complained of his having done so, and told him he thought it was a great liberty. Very soon after the prisoner left the house, the watch in question, which was of considerable value, was missed from the mantelshelf, and the prisoner was seen in possession of a watch of a similar description to the one lost, and it was Proved that he pawned it on the 25th of March, at the shop of a pawnbroker in Lon don-wall, in the name of Henry Ladds, and on his being taken into custody, the key of the stolen watch was found in his possession. Witnesses were called for the defence, who gave the prisoner an exc e ll en t c h aracter; an d i t appeare d that he was good cir cums t ances , an d net suf f ering f rom an y pecuniary as perfectly difficulty, and it like w i se a pp e ared that he perfectly sober at the time the robbery was com mitted. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to be transported for seven y ears . James Mayh ew , who was convicted of forgery on Mon day, was brou g ht up for ro judgment, and sentenc e d to be transported for seven years.se In the report o f t h e t r i a l p it was stated that the oi e e utor was the son of Mr. Hall, the Bow -street magistrate. This, it app ea r s , i s in correct, his father bein(Mr. B:Hall, one of the Middle sex county magistrates. Edward Bozall, 34, was convicted upon clear evidence of of feloniously receiving a large quantityproperty that had been stolen from Messrs. Healey and Burbidge, iron mongers, Fleet-street. The prosecution was instituted by the authorities of the city of London, and the evidence left no doubt that the prisoner, who kept a sort of marine store-shop, in Shoe-lane, was a most extensive receiver of stoleq goods. The officers found a very large quantity of stolen pro perty of every description on the premises; and it was proved that after the prisoner was in custody, and his establishment was in the charge of the police, in the course of two days six persons came openly to the shop with stolen property, and they were all taken into cus tody and eonvicted. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for ten years. Charles Barnhard, 54, and Fanny Marks, 34, were in dicted for stealing seven 10/. Bank of England notes, the property of Rachel Folks, since deceased. In other counts the property was laid to belong to the Bishop of London. Mr. Ryland and Mr. Laurie conducted the prosecu tion. Mr. Horry defended the male prisoner. The woman had no counsel. It appeared that the female prisoner kept a sort of lodging-house in Hounsditch, and the man lived in the same house, and they were on intimate .terms. The deceased, who was a penurious old woman, lodged in the house, and on the 14th of last October she went to a banker's, and received change for a cheque for 1201, in one note for 50/ and seven 101. notes. On the 9th February following she was taken suddenly ill with an attack of an apoplectic character, and remained insen sible for two or three days, when she expired, and, upon a search being made, none of the money could be found. When the prisoners were questioned upon the subject they denied all knowledge of the money, and made a suggestion that the deceased upon one occasion had been knocked down, and that she might have been robbed. This statement, however, very soon turned oat to be false, for it was proved that on the very day when the deceased was first attacked by her fatal illness the male prisoner changed oce of the notes, and he was afterwards proved to have changed five of the others, and on his being taken into custody the remaining 104 note was found in his possession, as well as 581 in gold. Upon this discovery he imme diately changed his story, and declared that the money had been given to him by the old lady as a present; but, according to the testimony of the witnesses, this was not at all likely to have been the case, as she was on very bad terms with the prisoner Barnhard, and had not spoken to him for six months before her death, and one witness said that so far from the deceased being a likely person to give any ono such a sum of money, she was so penurious that it was like extracting blood from a stone to get any money from her. The evidence against the woman consisted, in addition to her statement of the deceased having been robbed, of the fact that evidence was given that a piece of paper, in which the notes had been wrapped up, was found in one of her drawers. Mr. HORRY addressed the jury for the male prisoner, and called a number of witnesses, who gave him a good character. The woman, on being called on, declared her inno cence of the charge. The RECORDER having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Barn hard, and Acquitted the woman. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Four men, who gave their names as William Waters. John Graham, Frederick Lester, and Arthur Soper, riotous and were placed at the bar, charged with disorderly on Monday afternoon, andflinging stones and assaulting the police. i r t i l o i John Spring, 337 of the City Police, said that about three o'clock the previous afternoon, while on duty in Fleet-street, he observed the prisoner Waters fling a stone at some brother constables, upon which he imme diately attempted to take him into custody, but had no sooner laid his hand upon him for that purpose, than the prisoner eluded his grasp and made towards Bride lane. He followed, and on overtaking him he exclaimed, " What do you want with me? What have I done?" He (the officer) replied, " You must come with me to the station-house," upon which the prisoner rejoined, " You —, I will not be taken," and instantly struck him a violent blow across the nose. A struggle ensued, during which the mob collected around, crying " Kill t h e _____," He then received a kick in the mouth, and also on the side of his head, which rendered him for some time insensible, but recovering, he shortly after captured the prisoner with the aid of other constables. Evidence of a similar character was given with respect to the other prisoners. The prisoners denied the charge in tote, with the ex ception of Graham, who admitted striking the special constable (Smith), but said that he was justified in consequence of being first attacked by that individual. Alderman SIDNEY said, that when business was stopped, as lately it had been, and the public safety endangered, it was high time to put a stop to such pro ceedings, which caused such serious results, and there fore he had come to the conclusion of holding them all to bail to answer the charge at the sessions, and he should instruct the City Solicitor to prosecute. Nut having bail the prisoners were all locked up. Mr. Thomas Taylor, one of the special constables, was charged with firing a pistol off on Ludgate-hill. Constable Burrowes, 335, stated that about eight o'clock the previous evening the prisoner pistolfired. uI) from the top of an omnibus which was proceeding and he Ludgate-hill, The vehicle immediately stopped, (the officer) took him into custody.

Dlr.lTaylor—Suppose my staff had been taken, and my life e ndangered, would I not have a right to resort to my pistols ? Alderman SlDNEY—Certainly not ; because b e ing a special constable, appointed to preserve the peace, he had no right to fire without the direction of the ma gistrate. The unauthorised or accidental firing of a gun at Berlin had caused the loss of a thousand lives, and if a similar calamity had happened yesterday, it was impossible to forsee what extent of confusion and loss of life might occur here. Considering that you may have acted in error, I shall only fine you 10s. for firing thel‘fol, and bind,r in), Ills. John Ellard, l i abrneyman tailor was charged with threatening to shoat Mr. Parker, a special constable. Alderman SIDNEY said he should fine him or fourteen days' imprisonment, and alio bind him over to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects. Other cases of assault were similarly disposed of. SOUTH W ARK . George William Brown, a powerful man, following the trade of a butcher in the New-cut, Lambeth, was brought before Mr. Cottingliam, charged with assaulting a Mr. W. Harris, one of the numerous special constables sworn in at this Court to preserve the peace on the day of the Chartist meeting on Kennington-common. After hearing evidence, The MAGISTRATE said he should adjudge the defendant to pay 3/. for the assault, and to commit him for a month to Laol in default of paying the fine. LAMBE T 11. Andrew Dawson, a thick-set and powerful fellow, v.lio described himself as a miner, and a native of Bol ton, in Lancashire, was cha:ged with assaulting and obstructing two special constables in the execution of their duty. Mr. Ford, a plumber, in the Lambeth-wal:, and who had been sworn in at this Court as a special constable, deposed that about six o'clock on the preceding evening he saw a croild o f 300 persons i n L ambeth-walk, an d on going up to see what was the matter he found that two men were fighting. He parted the men and was dis persing the mob, when the prisoner laid bold of him and also his stair, and tried to take the latter from him. The persons in the crowd called out to the prisoner to secure the staff and use it upon him (witness), and it was very possible, with the assistance of the mob, that ho would have been enabled to do so, had not two other special constables come to his assistance, and the prisoner was ultimately taken to the station house. ou over to keep the peace for six The prisoner was convicted in a penalty of 405., or in default of payment to 20 days' imprisonment. CHARTIST MEETINGS. SHEFFIELD, TUESDAY.—A large meeting of Chartists was held yesterday. Resolutions in support of the Charter, and expressive of confidence in the National Convention, :were unanimously carried, after which the meeting quietly separated. G4ascow.—From the chief magistrate at Glasgow to Sir George Grey:— " Glasgow, April 10. This town has been perfectly quiet all day. No at tempt to hold meetings here." EDINBURGH.—From the Solicitor-General, Edin burch, to Sir George Grey.—" A large Chartist meeting on the Calton Hill, Edinburgh, which went in procession to the Provost House, presented a petition for the Charter, and then quietly dispersed. Town all quiet at 10 P.M." INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. (JosHuA FIELD, Esq., President, in the chair.) On Tuesday last the second part of Mr. Jackson's paper " On the engineering of the Rhine and the Mo selle," was read. It consisted to considerable extent of a translation of an account of the spurs, groynes, end other works on the Moselle for restricting the dimensions of the bed of that river and increasing the depth of the water, so as to enable the navigation to be carried on, iti hich would otherwise be averted in the low water seasons. It was shown that to effect this numerous arms of the river had been damned across and allowed to silt up, the course had been straightened, elbows had been cut off, and the convex shores, after being silted up by deposit between the groynes, were defended by arm ing of fascines, &c. Division banks had been established for the inflowing rivulets, so as to carry the gravel to greater distance down the stream. Rocks also were removed by powder, and general improvements to such an extent were executed that the river was comparatively under good control. The account of the Rhine was then resumed, and, after detailing the various plans that had been proposed for ameliorating its course, giving numerous interest ing and valuable tables of Banken's and Bolstra's expe riments as to the tides, the inclination of the bed of the various rivers, the duration of the ebb and flow and average height of the river at the time of new and full moon, the height of various dykes above the extraordi nary flood line, &e., the paper finished with these gene ral views :—" O n l oo ki ng at the map of Holland, and tracing its various streams, it certainly does not appear__ singular that frequent stoppages should take place in that country, whilst such occurrences are comparatively rare in Germany; for, as long as the Rhine retains its sin gle course, as at Emmericic, no obstacles, excepting elbows, stay the progress of the current seawards ; but, as soon as it divides at the Waal and Pannerden Canal, the evil commences and increases, accordi ng t o the number of arms and 'channels' lower down. It is generally agreed that a river should have as few outlets as possible, in order to allow it the more effectually to clear itself, and that the tide should be admitted as far as possible, whilst, at the same tim e , th e act i on o f t h e winds should be diminished; again, that the more the surface water of any river is abstracted, the more quickly the sand will accumulate; and also that, if a cut be made, it is usual for ice stoppages to take place be low it, so as to raise the water level above ; and it is also agreed, that if a cut be made, as capacious as the river itself, or be permitted to increase to that extent, it will soon get beyond control, while the sand will accu mulate rapidly, and that when openings exist in dykes the ice gets into eddies. loses it, velocity. end by degrees closes up the passage below the opening, so as to raise the water above. The question, therefore, to be solved with regard to Holland and the system followed there, in order to prevent breaches in dykes, and to save the better part of the country (taking into account its weak, marshy soil, and its incapacity to withstand any great force), is whether it be the better plan to relieve .the pressure on the cl3kes, by cuts and new channels, and local floodings, at the expense of in creasing the number of ice stoppages, and, at the same time, diminishing the velocity in the main rivers, thereby greatly augmenting its liability to accu mulating sand. It is true, as already stated, that the rivers are at present in such a condition, that it must be very expensive to effect anything of im portance ; but the question is of such vital importance to the port of Rotterdam, and the certainty of the mouth of the Meuse at the Brislle in the course of time closing up like that at Katwyk, if no improves ment be attempted, is to clear, that it is very much to be regretted some steps have not been taken ere this to prevent so great a flow of water from passing out by the Hollands Diep to Hellicut." The author directs the attention of the institution to this subject, and directs the tollowing:points for the con sideration of the members:— " That the object to be aimed at, in any steps, which might be adopted for improving the Meuse at Rotter dam, should be to protect and strengthen the shores and dykes likely to be operated upon by the alterations ; to straighten all the curves on the Leek, so as to lessen chances of ice stoppages ; to separate the Waal and Meuse Waters as much as possible, and to lead off the former together with the Leek, into the sea by the Bridle ; to narrow the Bresbosch channel (now divided) into one, regulating the quantity of water ; to close the Krabbe, the Noord, a nd th e Spry, with sluice gates ; and, for the purpose of widening the outlet, to join the island of Rosenburgh to the main land at Vlaardingin, thereby causing the ebb water to act upon this island, and with increased velocity, and an additional quantity of water attempting to remove the bar and shoals." At the monthly ballot, Messrs. F. C. Penrose, R. Hughes, 11. Curry, F. P. Smith, and S. Woods, were elected associates. The paper announced to be read at the meeting of Tuesday, April 11, was—" An Account of the Works at the Corbet Lough Reservoir, being a continuation of the account of the Bann Reservoirs," by J. F. Bateman, M .LC.E. "FREE AND EASY" PATRIOTS.—On Monday evening some of the crowds that were traversing the streets, en tered the premises of Mr. Draper, Globe, Hatton-garden, and forcibly turned various taps, and very unceremoni ously commenced helping to the several beverages. They were, however, disturbed, and got out out of the premises. They next proceeded to Mr. Bennett's. White Lion, Lea ther-lane.

LOYALT Y OF B RITISH SEAMEN.—There WaS an interesting scene on board the ship Rainbow, lying off Gravesend, bound on a voyage to Aden, when, on Wednesday, at five a.m., Captain Arnold came on board, the ship being hove to, and a steamer ready to tow her away, he mustered all his crew on the quarter-deck, and gave them to understand, as a pattern to British seamen, before they left the port., that they w ould give three hearty cheers to England and her Queen. The captain and all the tars loudly cheered for old England and her Queen; the British ensign was immediately hoisted, the aechur weighed, and the good ship Rainbow, with her honourable captain, proceeded on her intended voyage. CASTI.E CLIFF, BARNARD CASTLE.—An immense mass of rock, estimated to weigh several tons, became disengaged on Sunday last, from the cl iff up o n w hich stand the ruins of the once powerful and magnificent Castle of Barnard, and fell on the Tees' side from an immense height. The cause of the sudden precipitation of this frightful mass of stone is unknown; but some attribute it to the effects of a violent storm of thunder and lightning, with which the town of Barnard Castle was visited on Sunday last.—Darlington Times.
