Farewell, poor Tray, farewell ! thy mournful fete Has touched my hesrt, and filled my eyes with water; For oh, thy services were truly great, And such as should be valued by a sporter. Yes, thou had'st worth, and memory's pen has booked it, And grieved am I to find that thou hast hooked it. No more thou'lt mark the fa' ed Bird aloft, Nor watch while in my sporting bag I tuck it ; This thou hest done full many a time and oft, But all is over—thou hast kicked the bucket. Another dog must show me what his nose is, When sporting in my shooting-coat from biOSES. Ah. Tray, if thou couldst see thy master now, Dressed in the shooting-coat which MOSES sold him, Thou'dst stars at the improvement, and allow 'Twas quite a pleasure even to behold him. ROSES and SON thou'dst say have every reason To claim renewed support throughout the season. I never saw, I candidly confess, Such admirable articles for sporting ; Hundreds of sportsmen to obtain such dress, To MOSES' noted Warehouse are resorting. Better or cheaper coat ne'er honoured Britain, And that is why this epitaph is Written. _-----. Anglo Mexican lOO ..•.•• -- ..•••• to -. Asturian Mining Company 13 ......

MOne half the wend are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

It is the want of this which has damped the fires of eaucatiunal life in the establishment in Gower-street; and " cribbed, cabined, and confined" the talents of its brilliant professorial staff; for parents, after all, are shy of sending sons to " godless colleges." But in examination the case is entirely different, though it is genctially, with ignorant care lessness or studied obliquity, confounded with that of educa tion. A paper of questions on Ancient History, Poetry, or Philostpliy, drawn up by a man of one sect, and audited by men of two or three others, front its necessary liberality, will be unable to instil any objectionable doctrine, or insult any prejudices by its insinuations. A paper on the Differential Calculus might be drawn up as well and as harmlessly by a Jesuit from Stonyhurst as by an Independent from Homerton College. De Morgan, Francis Newman, and Dr. Wiseman, though they could not teach the same set of men their re spective subjects long without clashing—the ungovernable, restlessness of sectarianism, which is peculiar to no sect, would not let them for ever pretermit their opportunities of pro selytizing—might sit for ever and draw up examination papers, and look over the answers, with the unanimity of a board of what dear Sidney would call " your regular thirty nine times articled clerks." How is it then, Sir that the godless examinations at So merset-house are thought as little of by the body of English students as the godless education in Gower-street? Give this question a place in your paper, and I will answer it in a day or two myself. FREDERICK WILLIAM GREEN, (Oriel College, Oxford). y, Aug. 22, 1848. 7, Clapton-square, Hackne IRELAND.

"MAZIEItE BRADY, C." Mr. John Martin, since receiving sentence of ten years' transportation on Saturday, has remained in the department of Newgate allotted to convicts. It was manifest, from his hectic appearance on Saturday, that the unfortunate gen tleman has been suffering from some pulmonary affection. Yesterday afternoon Sir Philip Crampton, surgeon-general, and other medical gentlemen, visited Mr. Martin in the prison, for the purpose of ascertaining the state of his health, and reporting the result of their inquiry to the Go vernment. It was stated last week that Mr. Smith O'Brien retained Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., for his defence in the prosecu tion for high treason.

About half-past twelve o'clock to-day (Saturday) the Go vernment screw steamer Trafalgar, landed fourteen of the state prisoners at Dunbar's Dock, where a large attendance of police, with Mr. Jenkins, R.M., at their head, waited their arrival. The quay was densely thronged with spectators, but no word expressive of feeling, pro or con, escaped from the crowd. They entered the prison van, and were escorted to the new gaol by a few police and a troop of the Carbi • nears. The crowd followed thevan a short distance from the quay, but the driver having received orders to move quicker, drove off at a rapid pace, and left the spectators behind. The prisoners, with one exception, are young men of manly appearance and robust constitution, looked the personation of good health, and seemed quite cheerful. They came in charge of Sub-Inspector Mathew and seven policemen.— Be/fast Vindicator.

REYNOLDS. The certificate of the bankrupt, a Chartist leader, and author of various works, was opposed by Mr. Duncan, on behalf of Mr. Wilton, a creditor, for 401 . the bankrupt was supported by Mr. Sturgeon. The debts were 2,600/. ; the assets about 2001. The bankrupt examined-Had been a bankrupt in 1840. Paid nothing. The debts were only 1201. Had been bank rupt in Paris in 1835 or 1836. In 1837 was insolvent in England ; also again in 1839. Had several thousand pounds when he began in Paris an English newspaper. Had paid 63. 80. in the pound on his French debts; and it was the liability on the French debts that occasioned his subsequent diffi c ulties in England. Earned 500/. a year by his pen ; his expenses had not been more than that sum. Had sold Mr. Spokes copies of " Wallace," " Catiline," &c., for 70/. Con tracted to sell him 2,000 volumes for this sum. Obtained his acceptances for the same, but had not sent in the books, being unable to do so, except about 34/. worth. Spokes gave him the bills to assist him in executing the order. On the eve of bankruptcy he offered his creditors 20/. per month. A few creditors held out, and he was compelled to come to this court. Had duplicate stereotype plates of two of his works sent, in 1846 and 1847, to Mr. 'Williams, of Boston, in America. Received 100/. for them, which sum is entered in his balance-sheet. Had sold nothing but some old stereo type plates just before his bankruptcy. Sold them for 141., to Messrs. Figgins, type-founders. There were not tons weight of it, and they were not sold at 121. per ton. They were old plates of " Reynolds's Miscellany." At the time of the bankruptcy he held the copyright of the " Miscellany," and fourteen others of his works. These were all sold to Mr. Cooke, an engraver, of Kentish -town, for 151. Does not know that 1501. had been since offered for the copyright of „ Reynolds's Miscellany" alone. Mr. Davis, solicitor to the assignees of the bankrupt, here objected to this inquiry. It was, he urged, a matter for the official assignees. His HONOUR decided that the examination must proceed.. Examination continued-The sale of the " Miscellany' bad been 20,000. It fell to 10,000, and was worth nothing. It had since been enlarged by Mr. Cooke, and he (bankrupt) was now writing for it. Mr. Cooke was an old friend of his. Has known him ten or twelve years. Cooke had never brought an action against him. Mr. Strong, of Crown-court, is bankrupt's official assignee. Strong has since been applied It) to stereotype his " Miscellany." He (the bankrupt) had kept books. In April Mr. Cuthbertson had put in an execu tion for a debt of about 901., for furniture and clothes. Has known Mr. Cuthbertson four or five years, and has paid him 2001. Went and told him be was in difficulties. Cuthbert son then commenced proceedings, and afterwards put in an execution. Did not plead to the action. The property Cuth bertson seized was valued at about 160/. Knows a Mr. Daly. He borrowed 20/. from him, and had given him stereotype plates as security. James William Spokes examined-Is a trade valuer, re siding at 393, Strand. The bankrupt's house was well fur nished. The furniture and books were worth 2201. Is a creditor for 551. Has not proved. Has sold by auction large quantities of bankrupt's books. On the 11th of March pur chased of bankrupt 2,000 volumes for 701. 16s. Bd.

Afterwards ' asc ertained ttiat many of them were out of print, and only succeeded in getting 271. worth. sued for them by Mr. Cox, the printer. The bankrupt had Gave payment for the 701. in H th as ree pr b o il e s d , a fo n r d so is L now na b s e never perfected any one engagement.

WOOLWICH, Auou 22.—The Royal Victoria and Albert yacht is expected round from Portsmouth to Woolwich, to embark her Majesty and Prince Albert at' this port about the let of next month, and the Queen and his Royal High ness will land at Aberdeen this year, being the nearest port to her Majesty's Highland residence at Balinoral, adjoining the forest's of Braemar. The embarkation at Woolwich, io stend of from the Isle of Wight, will save a night at sea. The Resistance troop-ship arrived at Quebec on the 28th of July, with the head-quarters of the 79th Regirnent of Cam rum Highlanders on board, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel the Honourable Lauderdale Manic, from Gibraltar. The corps is a fine body of men, 550 rank and tile, the age of the men averaging 25 years; and a draft from the depot will shortly juin at Quebec. • Toe 79th relieves the 93d regiment of Sutherland Highltfiders, and the latter embarked in the Resistance, homeward btitand, on the Ist of August, and sailed on - the same evening for Portsmouth. The strength of the 93d is 2 field officers, 4 captains, 6 subalterns, 3 on the staff; 30 sergeants, '23 corporals, 7 drum mers, and 378 privates, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Spark ; 72 women and 90 children accompany the regiment. The magistrates of Quebec, previous to the departure of the corps, presented a very highly complimentary address to the officers and men, approving of the assistance they at all times received from them, and the remarkably good conduct of the men during the time they were stationed in Quebec. Lieut.- C olonel Spark returned thanks. [PRICE 51). • MO Y and COMMERCIAL NE.W S. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. Thire was a heavy market for Cotton at Liverpool yes terday. Sales 3,500 bales. American aorta realised W a d: to 5%d. per lb. In Railway Shares a fair business was done, and the market was steady. An improvement took place in Midland. In grain there has been a steady business done to-day at Monda3's prices. The state of uneasiness felt at Paris for some days past, and the extraordinary disclosures made in the report of the Committee upon the insurrection, is represented in private letters trom France as having an exceedingly injurious in fluence upon credit, and as retarding materially the indica tions of improvement which were previously observable in many quarters. The finances of the Government, any more than those of individuals, cannot be ex_ petted to prosper under such circumstances, and it is obviously nothing but the improved political aspect of affairs, and the cordial understanding with Eng land, that causes the French funds to be as well supported as they are. :The value of an alliance between the two nations is appreciated likewise on this side of the Channel, and in despite of the many unfavourable circumstances that exist, has served to buoy up the money market. The foreign exchanges were not yesterday afterncon supported at the previous rates, less being given for the- pound sterling, except upon Paris. The decline, -no doubt, is partially the result of operations commenced in the corn trade for importations from abroad, which, under any circumstances, will be needed, and there is much interest to be attached.to the consideration of how far our wants will extend. As yet, the bullion reserves of the Bank have been very little reduced, the quantity . of specie received' from North and South America, and various other places having furnished a portion of the amount exported, and the further arrival of half a million sterling from Russia, has likewise proved a seasonable aid. From the currency debate of last night there is not much to be gleaned, as our merchants and capitalists appear to conceive, except that the advocates of restriction are as ob stinate as before, and that to obtain any modification of the. Act, a decided and general expression of opinion in trading circles will be necessary to induce any action on the part of the Legislature. It may be useful to remind parties interested that the next Paris and Lyons Railway call will be due on the sth of October, and that from that date to October 1849, 250 francs per share will have to be paid. The English Funds have been firmer to-day, but there has been very little business doing. Consols have been 86 to 8618 for Transfer, and 86 to 86 1 4 ( for Account. Exchequer bills of June have realised 225. to 255. premium. Bank Stock is i 96 to 197 1 ,¢. The Foreign Investments are exceeding heavy. Mexican bonds have been 16% to 16%, and Brazilian 72. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 44 to LA. Railway Shares are rather better on the whole than they were yesterday. Caledonian have been flatter, however, at 22% to 23 1 / 8 ; and Great Southern and Western of Ireland are not so good. Great Western are higher, and also Mid land, North-British, and South-Western. Brighton and North- Western are much the same. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) _ Bank Stock _ 196 197% 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities.-- 8 6 1,E 4 8 per Cent.

The Princess Charlotte, 104 guns, is ordered to be taken into dock at Portsmouth, and repaired immediately. It is reported she is to be fitted with a screw-propeller, without being cut down. Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., having arrived at Cork from Kingstown in the Stromboli steam sloop on the 19th, and hoisted his flag on board the St. Vincent, 120, was waiting the arrival of the Tweed, 18, from Waterford, and the Pilot, 14, from Youghal. It was expected that they would join him on the 20th; and on the 21st he was to pro ceed with the St. Vincent, 120; Prince Regent, 90; Belle rophon, 78; Tweed, 18 ; Helena, 16; Frolic, 16; Pilot, 12 ; Amphion, 34, screw steam-frigate; Stromboli steam-sloop; and Lucifer steam-vessel; on a cruise ten degrees south-west of Cape Clear, to try rate of sailing. After trying the sloops, he was to dispatch them to their respective destinations, and return to Spithead after a fortnight's absence, and wait fur ther orders. The Recruit, 8, screw-schooner, it was expected, would follow the squadron. She had been delayed in having to set up her rigging afresh. The Dauntless screw frigate has been taken alongside the Blake hulk at Portsmouth, and had her sails bent. She was to have gone out yesterday to try her engines and speed, under the temporary charge of Commander Stevens, of the Blenheim. If the Dauntless is found to answer,__ she will be forthwith coppered and fitted for commission. When brought into dock the other day she had no less than three different log lines wound round her screw. The Tortoise guard-ship and depot, Captain Halton, at the Island of Ascension, is coming to England, having sustained serious damage by the fires that have on three occasions taken place on board by the spontaneous ignition of the coal. _ . . The Hermes steam-sloop is ordered from Devonport to Portsmouth to embark supernumeraries, parcels, &e., for the ships and vessels of Sir Charles Napier's exercising squa dron, whom she will put on board before that force sails from Cork. THE COMMAND AT PORTSMOUTH.—AdmiraI of the Blue, Sir Thomas Capel, K.C.8., is nominated to succeed Admiral Sir C. Ogle in the chief command at the above station, and we are informed is accepted by her Majesty to fill that post. sir Thomas and Lady Capel will visit Portsmouth on Tuesday next, to look round the establishment and make a few preliminary arrangements. The let of October is the day named for the blue flag to supersede the red one at the mast-head of the Victory, the established flag-ship for Portsmouth. STEAM ON TURNPIKE ROADS. TO THE EDITOR OF ME SUN. RESPECTED FRIEND,—I observe in your paper of the 16th instant, a letter signed by " C. Weeks, Civil Engineer," in which he intimates (alluuing to a letter of mine that previously appeared is your journal) that it would have been desirable if I had stated details, so as to have enabled persons to form a more correct oßiniun i prßbable success of Sir James LW. sia as, is pr IJAUI6 1 IV made, this will be better than the most elaborate description of details, or the most perfect theoretical deductions. I will, therefore, only add, that I considerione of .the greatest and most important improvements made by Sir J. Anderson is the fact of having adopted oscillating cylinders. C. W. however, in the absence of the desired information, and with• out knowing how far Sir J. Anderson's improvements were likely to meet his views as to what he considered essential to success, nevertheless affirms that Sir .T. Anderson has not accomplished these objects; upon what data he founds his conclusions lumat a loss to conjecture. C. W. further con tends that it is most important to reduce the friction in the engine rather than on the surface of the road; but in this I res pectfully beg leave to differ. I contend it is most im portant to reduce the c ause of concussion, and consequent friction on the surface of the road, which the p ast experience of rails and tramway sufficiently proves. C. W. l o o f co w m h ot ie iy h e I rai en lw t a e y r s t , ein w v h e ic ry h h al e lud t e h s ink t s o may a strong doubts, for reaso ns w hich it is not needful now to state. But what a pp ears to me extraordinary is, that C. W. seems to overlook the mos t im p ortant p art of m y planf succeed, or former observations, viz., the circumstance of laying on the middle or side of the road timber or other tracks which would render unnecessary an extraordinary attention to springs, &c. In order to enable him and your readers to form some opinion thereon, permit me briefly to explain the mode of construction I should propose if timber-tracks were determined upon. Wood-paving has hitherto been unsuc cessful principally on account of a want of a sufficiently firm base to prevent the blocks sinking below each other, to remedy which I propose to construct angular troughs 15 to 18 feet long, with planking two inches thick, say 18 inches wide at the top, and nine inches deep in the middle, and then to fill the interior with suitable angular blocks, the upper surface of these blocks to be the end way of the grain, and the wood, which may be either beech or elm—the former would perhaps be the best—the blocks may be cut so as to avoid waste of material. These tracks I apprehend may be made fit for laying down complete at from 3s. to 4s. per yard run—these tracks to be embedded in and flush with the surface of the road, with proper concrete,; which would render them immoveable and prevent the possibility of an unequal surface. On such tracks as these I estimate the a t l es ten t milesthirty se g at the same speed; thus passengers n traction or friction not t o excee d l2lb s. per t on , which is about 3lbs. more th an on i ron. O n t h e Edi n b ur gh and Dalkeith Railway, whi c h was f or many years w orked by horses, the allowance f or one h orse was t o d raw forty pas sengers 1, therefore, imag i ne t h at on these trac k s one h orse wou ld draw at a showing that T e lf or d an d Si r H. P arne l were correct in stating that on a rail or perfect track on the surface of the road, same undulating, one horse would draw as much as five or six.: and, consequently, as far as regards horse-power, the usual charge of 2d. and 3d. per mile made by coaches on turnpike-roads, might be reduced to one halfpenny and three farthings per mile, and still afford a reasonable profit. But with steam.power the profit would be large indeed, which the followi ng statement will exhibit. I estimate Sir James Anderson's engine to be equal, at moderate working, to eight horses, and therefore it will be fully equal (even without tracks) to convey, on such a road as from Hyde-park to Hounslow (ten miles), at least forty passengers. But let us imagine the tracks laid, and the engine (though capable of drawing three time" the number) yet confine it to 40 each, trip, and that it makes 10 trips per day, the account would stand thus:— CRIDITOA. £lO 0 0 400 passengers at 6d each ... .. DEBTOR. Cost of fuel for 100 miles at 4d. per mile Engineer is., guide 55., guard 4s.

Large as this appears (especially by adopting the means I have suggested)4l have not the least doubt but this astounding result may be and will one day be most amply confirmed. I remain respectfully yours, THOMAS MOTLEY. Bristol, eighth month 18th, 1848.

WHEAL CURTIS MINING COMPANY.—Yeste rda y an extraordinary meeting of this company was convened at their offices, Basinghall-street, for the purpose of considering the propriety of dissolving the company and discharging its liabilities. An hour beyond the titre fixed for commencing the proceedings (twelve o'clock) elapsed ere more than six teen regularly qualified shareholders had assembled; and as no less than twenty are required to form a quorum, no ofgal meeting could, therefore, be held. However, those f t e shareholders who were present came to a resolutiontbhe die they separated, to the effect that "They recommit-Lid e t rectors forthwith to sell the leases, the plant„ ani.i .t fhe p h ro or p e e o r f T , of the company, and to discharge all the liabilities t . • It was also suggested by the shareholdets that the directors should immediately take measures to enforce payment from all defaulters.

A. Judge also is• appointed, at a considerable salary, and it is admitted without equivocation, that there is nobody to judge, and consequently to govern. One Member in favour of the proceeding, announced in round terms, that the end was to be the taking possession of Borneo. This is the upshot of all admissions of " Illustrious Strangers." It was stated too fur the defence, that merchants in London strongly urged the measure. I wonder what they would not urge, when they are to have the chances of what may come of it, and the public is to pay. The debate on the African expenses was memorable for the first distinct enunciation of the demand of the West Indians, viz. to be allowed to go to the coast of Africa, and purchase nrgroes where they can get them. It was brought out, quaintly enough, by the admission of the Government that two vessels sent to the coast of Africa for volunteers, only brought one boy between them. It is natural enough it should be so. Imagine that after Europeans had been for centuries in the habit of looking on Algiers as the seat of a slavery worse than death, two Algerine vessels had been sent to the coast of Spain or Italy for the purpose of inviting volunteers. Where upon stand up members of the Algerine Divan and say, " Since these people will not come when they are asked, we shall be ill-used Mussulmen if not allowed to go and take them where we can get them." This is a literal transcript of what we heard on Monday. And then a quaker stands up, and protests against the English people being made to pay "for philan thropic objects in which they have no concern. If I was speaking to your fathers, I should say it was because they had a concern. There was a time when the restoration of the slave trade would have set the West Riding in a flame. But we all know better now. We have found out that a philanthropic object w hich does not touch a man's pocket, or touches it the wrong way, is no concern of his. What, then, is philanthropy? On Tuesday, the perpetual Sugar. Lord George Ben tinck repeated his proposal of a clause with the purpose of removing inequalities under which the British refiners are represented to lie, as compared with the Dutch; and many of what are known as the Free Traders voted with him, in spite of a damaging speech from a former Chan cellor of the Exchequer, which might be supposed aimed at mixing the question with other matters on which the Free Traders could not be expected to agree; The clause was finally lost by 73 against 40. On re -assembling, the [louse was surprised by the ap parition of a Currency Debate. The objectrtain on such occa sions appears to be, to give vent to a ce quantity of talk, and then by declining going to a division, to avoid giving any absolute measure of strength. The only substantial result of the night'S debate, was the vigorous declaration of Sir Robert Peel, of his determination to maintain the integrity of his Law of 1844 in despite of the Lords' Report; in which he was supported by the cheers of both sides of the House. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, Aug. 23, 1848. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—There is one little mistake in Perronet Thompson's bulletin of the House of Commons issued yesterday, viz.— " That the fact of a man's going to one university in prefe rence to the other is proof that the value of the two degrees is not in his eyes the same." The comparative value of the degree can have no influence in sending a Dissenter to Cam bridge, inasmuch as he knows that be cannot obtain it. It is the course of instruction pursued, the habits cultivated, the associations enjoyed, and the prospect of honours held out a r t l e i to competitors in a genuine struggle, whic h draw men of mam which talent and industry to the schools of a (to them) heterodox theology. No light testimonial this to the wor kin g of a sy t ich ar c e ert c a o i n n d v em olu ni n n t g eer w r h ep oi r e e sa se i n e t , a_ti t v h e a s t of it dis stin Parliament attracts within its pale some of the brightest geniuses of those who Pytheir religious tenets are excluded from its substantial honours. I . do - think, Sir, that if the old universities . are able to shall be paid to t o h f e a feelings of h maintain for themselves a character like this, the Church of kngland has some right . to demand that as much respect the sin o g u l t e cry colleg e even with State section assistanc a n s i t t y o a The Spirit support a 'i s n . modificationsbridge are,. wh F ie r n m h illions concerning them and opinions at Oxford and of this age is progressive, sahnoyw position itself unable, of di g. tii in accordance with acknowledge, undergoing it. Reform is felt to be wanting l into t the everywhere, aecre t and f shape doubtless, o f after an the examination m of i a s r e s io little asit is stimulant,nosh shame thee tto common-room, hebdomadal, and capitula n r prison-houses,l; we shall have steps taken in the direction demanded c l am our, but common sense. We do not want, however, y, not party of that violent interference from without, which wouldcoatn nY ineuze, by withdrawing from certain professo r s—th ose , t oo , whose lectures ar e attended ; for I ma y mentio n that, at Ox ford, attendance on those, e. 9., of the Regius Professor of Divinity is required of candidates for orders graduating here by nearly every English Bishop—the stipends which have secu red their services, the payment of which is a national debt of honour, and to repudiate which would be a national disgrace. What w e want, Sir, is new blood, not bleeding. I wish that Perronet Thompson and the world would un derstand the difrerence between educating and examining. With respect to the former, though averse to the exaction of an y subscription to creed or articles, with damnatory clauses above all, from anybody save those who profess a Divine call to propagate them, I ca` help thinking that every system of education is imperfect which does not comprise some reli • gi +us teaching—leaving the amount digested, of course, to he • determined by the inherent vitality of the doctrine taught, . the persuasive powers of the teacher, and the capacity, or (I . write hastily) the swallow of the catechumen. It is this which has secured the confidence of a religious people in the EXCHA.NGZ. iGibraltax.
