I THE QUEEN'S LANDING AT ABE RDEEN. ABERDEEN, FRIDAY EVENING.—At an early hour this morning the citizens of Aberdeen were all astir. THE STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—On Thursday the sum monses were served on the grand jurors of the South Riding- of Tipperary,. ordering their attendance in Clonmel on the 21st instant, under a penalty of 1001. each in the event of failure. The High Sheriff of the county of Dublin and the Board of Superintendence visited Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mr. Meagher yesterday, in Kilmainham gaol. For the first time since their imprisonment leave has been given to both gentlemen to have free access to newspapers, and whatever books they may choose to call for, pending their transmission to the south to take their trials. Notwithstanding all the reports to the contrary, Mr. Meagher has not up to this day had any consultation either with counsel or agent, nor has he made the slightest preparation for the con duct of his defence. There was a long conference held this afternoon, at the Viceregallodge, between Lord John Russell, the Earl of Clarendon, the Lord Chancellor, the Attorney - General, and the Solicitor-General. This evening Lord and Lady John Russell will take leave of their Excellencies the Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon, and, attended by Mr. Grey, his Lordship's private secretary, in one of the Lord-Lieutenant's private carriages, they will proceed to the railway station at Westland-row, where, at the appointed time, a special train will be in waiting to convey the Noble Lord and suite to Kingstown. Her Majesty's packet-steamer the Banshee will be along side the jetty to receive them. The Banshee will start direct for Greenock, where the Noble Lord will land, and proceed to join the Queen at Balmoral. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The following is extracted from the report for August, as read by the secretary at the meeting of the COunell held' en Thrirsday : " The time having arrived for calling in the different practical intructors in husbandry appointed under Lord Clarendon's letter, they have been all paid off and discharged, and a full statement of all the receipts and expenditure connected therewith is hereby submitted to the Council, to be duly audited and examined previous to publication. " In order also to ascertain the opinions of the gentry in the different districts where the instructors were located, as to the effect produced by their visits, a circular was addressed to the grand juries, Poor-law boards, and local farming societies in these districts, calling on them to state their candid opinions on the subject, and to furnish the Council with the result. To this application numerous replies were received; and at a meeting of the managing committee, held on the 17th of August , " It was resolved,—That copies of such answers and resolutions as had been received in reply to the above circular by the grand jurors, Poor-law boards, and ma gistrates in those districts where the instructors had been located, should be transmitted forthwith to his Ex cellency the Earl of Clarendon, with the most respectful assurance from the committee to his Excellency that they consider those documents as satisfactorily conveying the opinions of those gentlemen who, from local knowledge and personal interest, are most capable of forming a sound judgment as to the effect of such a plan as that so humanely devised by his Excellency for the instruction and improvement of the farming classes in those districts, and to the effective carrying out of which the Council of this society and its committees have devoted their best attention. " CLANCARTY, Chairman." PURSUIT OF " GENERAL" DOLIENY. By break of day thousands of pedestrians had arrived from the country, and planted themselves along the line chalked out for her Majesty's route on landing from the royal yacht. At six o'clock the city bells were set ringing, ban ners were displayed from all the public buildings, the vessels in the dock, and from the top of every hill in the suburbs whence a view of the town might be ob tained. The sun shone forth in brilliant splendour, the wind from the south-west was just fresh enough to spread the colours, and everything gave token of a gala-day. At half-past seven o'clock the amphi theatre in front of the royal arch was crowded, the portign of the quay railed off wasldopely packet", and every window within sight of the dock was filled by elegantly-dressed ladies. At a quarter after eight o'clock the Lord Provost, magistrates, and town council, the Earl of Aberd een , i n f u ll uniform as Lord-Lieutenant of the county, the Sheriff, the Con vener of the county, and Deputy-Lieutenant, the Members of Parliament for the city and county, the Provost and magistrates of old Aberdeen, the princi pals and professors of both Universities, and the clergy in their Owns, the Parliamentary Commis sioners of the harbour, and other official gentlemen, took their position within a semi-circular enclosure immediately in front of :the landing-place. The whole line of Waterloo-quay and Regent-quay from the royal arch to the bottom of Marischal-street on the north side, was filled in by about 2,000 boys, with their teachers from the various schools in the city. Those little fellows marched in order to their places, each school carrying a flag with an appro priate motto, and in - most cases heralded by a band of music. Not the least interesting group of this gathering , were the children connected with the Industrial Schools, nearly 400 of whom Were placed at the entrance to Regent-bridge, dressed in their school clothes, and clean and tidy in appearance. From the landing-place on Water loo-quay, and onwards by Marischal-street to Castle street and Union-street, a carriage -way 50 feet broad had been railed off for the royal cortege, the granite pavement, being covered over with sand for the occasion. At a quarter to nine o'clock the officers on board the royal yacht took their places on the quarter-deck, the Earl of Aberdeen being present on this occasion. At ten minutes to nine o'clock her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Prince of \Vales and the Princess Royal, appeared on deck, and were received by a royal salute from a battery on the Inches and spontaneous and long . -continued bursts of applause. Her Majesty was conducted down the steps of the landing by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, having the Princess Royal in her right hand, w hil e P r i nce Albert followed with the Prince of Wales in one hand and Prince Alfred in the other. As her Ma- The Clonmel Chronicle says— " During the last week or ten days there have been some expeditions, within a few miles , of this town, in search of Doheny. We heard of one in the neighbour hood of Ballinamult, where it was supposed he was con cealed in a wood. The party in pursuit Started some man, evidently not a peasant, though dressed as such. He was immediately hailed and commanded to stand, at his peril, but succeeded in effecting his escape by a plunge into a thick part of the plantation, being consi derably in advance of his pursuers. If Doheny is not in Dublin Castle, we think he is in this vicinity still. It is reported that Doheny held a moonlight meeting, a few nights ago, on a mountain within four or, five miles of Carrick-on •Suir. The general belief is, that he is still in this neighbourhood. Since penning the preceding about Doheny, we received the subjoined information from a source on which we can place the fullest reliance,: —The other day Doheny was very nearly pinned in Dungarvan. A constable got his eye on him, and in stead of arresting him, as he should have done, kept him in view for some time to make the arrest himself, and thus obtain the entire reward. Doheny, ever awake, perceived the bent of the policeman, and left Dungarvan in a trot, crossing the country by Crotty's Rock, in the direction of Coolnamuck Wood , in which, it is supposed, he is at present kennelled. This wood, from its contiguity to Slievenamon, Ballingarry, Mullinahone, and Carrick, enables him and one or two others, who are generally with him, not only to procure provisions, but to muster as many armed followers as they may require. It is reported that a few nights ago they had a plan laid to entrap the police—that upwards of 400 men were armed and posted at both sides of the wood between this town and Coolnamuck, and that a scout was sent up by them to give information to the police that Doheny would be coming towards Clonmel at a certain hour. However, the plan proved unsuccessful, as the constabulary here are too well acquainted with persons and appearances to give full credence to every whisper that may come to their knowledge." DUBLIN, SUNDAY MORNING.—Lord John Russell, with Lady Russell and their children, reached Kings town yesterday evening, at half-past seven, and pro ceeded on board the Admiralty steamer Banshee, where they remained during the night. At daylight this morning the Banshee left Kingstown harbour for Glasgow, from whence the Premier is to proceed at once to join the royal party at Balmoral. jesty and the Prince passed through the royal arch and on to the crimsoned platform they were received by the Lord Provost, and again welcomed by an uni versal burst of cheers. The simple attire of the Queen, the kindly glance of her eye, and winning smile which animated her countenance as she ad vanced, and, with his Royal Highness, acknowledged the hearty and honest welcome which they had re ceived from the denizens of the far north, did more to establish the house of Brunswick in the hearts of the Scottish people than all the display of pomp and grandeur by yvbich royal visits to this city were for merly distinguished. At nine o'clock the royal cortege proceeded along the quay at a walking pace. On passing Waterloo quay-and Regent's-quay the cheering multitude, waving' their hats and handkerchiefs with the boom ing of cannon, formed a picture which cannot be de scribed. In the carriage immediately following that of her Majesty were Sir George Grey, Sir James Clark, Lord Alfred Paget, and the Hon. Captain Gordon ; the next carriage contained the Ladies in Waiting, and was followed by another with the re maining members of her Majesty's suite ; then came the carriage of Lord Aberdeen, containing the Noble Earl, Lord Haddo, the Hon. Admiral Gordon, M.P.; and Mr. Grant, Convener of the county of Aberdeen. Sheriff Davidson, and Captain Fordyce, the Member for the city, occupied their own carriages alone, and, with the Lord Provost and magistrates in two car. riages, led the procession, the carriage of the Lord Provost immediately preceding that of the Queen. The rear was brought up.by a number of private car riages, containing several military officers, the De puty-Lieutenants, and other gentlemen who were in vited to a place in the enclosed area at the landing place. Having ascended Marischal-street, a magnificent view all at :once burst upon, the royal visitors. To the east, the fine old square, with its ancient and unique cross in the centre, and the colossal statue of the Duke of Gordon, carved out of a single block of blue granite, standing on a massive pedestal, were objects of peculiar attraction. To the north, a glance of King-street, with its handsome public buildings, fine churches, and elegant spires, was well calculated to excite admiration ; but on turning to the left, by a gentle, curve expressly made to bring King-street in view, Union-street was opened, which is believed to be without a parallel in the kingdom. This great undertaking was planned in the year 1801 by the magistrates of the city, the design being to bridge over the 'valley which separates the high groun d of the old city, and made its entrance from the south in olden times very unsafe. The street was laid out an English mile in length, 100 feet in breadth, and under such conditions as would insure the erec tion of dressed granite buildings on both sides, of not less than four stories high. A bridge of three arches was first intended to be erected, but the late Mr. Telford having occasion to pass through the town at the time, recommended a h ri dg e brie of one arch. At the desire of the ma g furnished a plan of a one arched bridge of 130 feet span, which was adopted, and built with 2,000 tons of granite, at a cost of 13,0001. The str eet thus laid i out was speedily built upon, and now is all but com plete, by two ranges of buildings of th e most costl y description. There is a gentle curve in the level, but the view from end to end is without interruption. Along this street her Majesty and Prince Albert had to pass, and, when viewed from the point of Castle street where they turned, the scene was most brilliant. The reflection of the strong light from the mica of the granite, the clear colour of the stone, and the uniform surface of the buildings, made the whole appear as if the city had been hewn and polished from the rocks on which it is built. The cortege, after passing out of Union-street, turned to the left, and went down Holborn-street to the Dee .side road. Here the magistrates and town council left the pro cession, took farewell of her Majesty amid much cheering, and returned to the city, while the Queen and Prince Albert proceeded on their route to Bal moral, passing through a triumphal arch at Holborn and cheered by a multitude of people who had met to welcome her Majesty to the banks of the Dee.

CELIBACY —Singleness is not always the eon lJ sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that t blighting c e consume h c ouh t a h n es s t , manegrave , ha rather permitted thanh the consignm osardent aj e f t e c a to to that life of unmitigable an g uish and fettered solitariness into which his affianced would he p lun g ed if he married; Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex tuider c ircums t anc es; and, though no t so villanous as to p roceed to these the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have more than ene priniary source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importa.nce are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects o f disease—which, when 111-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the suffere to consider his case beyond remedy, and he fails to o consult even his r own me di ca l attendant. Such wilt find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh CURTI thousand and CO ~ of which has just been publishe d by its Authors, J.

The sheep-pox, we regret to state, is still on the increase in this county, and it is likely to continue s?, while the farmers and flock dealers are not alive to their own interests. Nothing can be pleaded in mitigation of the gross conduct of a seller, who we are infornied by Mr. Smith, the active Norwich inspector, exposed be tween 50 and 60 lambs for sale on the 15th ult. This person, after the animals were turned off the hill as in- iected, actually sent them to Kenninghall fair a few days subsequently. Mr. George Bailey, of Caston, near Wat ton, there became the unfortunate purchaser; the lambs are now in a very diseased state. Such cases, we under stand, are very common, and call for the most unquali fied reprehension.

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 from 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 union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar , and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine LaW for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being mast subsequently be beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness: The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all.

The total attendance at the Cathedral in 1839 was 3,873; in 1842, 4,199; and in 1845, 2,701. The total numbers at tending the three days' morning concerts, 2,271. The total attendance at the evening concerts in 1839 was 1,332; in 1842, 1,579; and in 1845, 1,568; thus showing an increase of 700 upon the highest number in those years.

DEATH OE A YOUNG LADY BY A 1 , -,- ALL FROM A CLIFF.—On Thursday afternoon lust a yours; l a dy named Stephens, from Bristol, who had b een ? e d g i ng at Athol-terrace here, fur some time, met her death by a fall from the cliff near Cornhill coast-guard station, about two miles from Dover. We understand Miss Stephens had left her lod g ings in the m orning, with the view of South Foreland lights, she proceededghts, situated on d to St. Margaret's Bay by the beach. At St. M argare t' s she hired a donkey, wi th which she p r oceeded towards thetop ovfisSitti.ng Margaret the South s Dover, on the top of the cliffs. On reaching Cornhill station she alighted from the donkey, and inquired of one of the officers on duty w hether she night with safety descend the cliffs to the beach. The man replied she might by the zig-zag path, which he pointed out. Near to this - zig-zag path thero is cut, from the base to the top of the cliff, 1; an almost perpen dicular , p, used for draw ings•- up manure, &c. At the top of this slip, near the edge of this cliff, Miss Stephens was observed sitting, and the next that was seen of her she was found by another coastguard man a. mutilated corps e , on the beach immediately below. It is possible deceased may have mistaken the slip for the . zig-zsg, and unwittingly ven tured to descend by the former. 'The cliff here is some 200 feet iu height.—Dover Chronicle. svtuotna '1'.1.!

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—CharIes Chubb, the regis trar of birtha, marriages, and deaths, was brought up before Mr. Rushton this morning. The charge was the fabrication of names in the registry-book, with the ob ject of defrauding the overseers. There was also a charge of forgery, the registrar having Ott] in the name of an in form an t-coutrary to law, . h ich specifies that each ap plicant shall sign his or her name in the registrar-book. The case was fully gone into on Friday, when it was proved by several witnesses that the seven records of births made by the prisoner on the 22d of August were fictitious, no such persons as tho - se appearing in the book being found in the street set down as their place of resi dence. This morning the prisoner was attended by bis pro fessional adviser, Mr. Charles Pemberton. Mr-Snowball, the attorney for the Solicitor to the Treasury, the prosecutor, stated that, though there were many cases besides the seven gone into the preced ing day, he should not then go into any more, but should content himself by strengthening the charge by the pro duction of other witnesses. Joseph Blewer, a relieving officer for the district over which Chubb's jurisdiction as registrar extended, proved that i❑ Eaton-street, which was set down in the register book as the place of residence of one person referred to, there were no houses numbered as four (26, 32, 36, and 12.) entered in the book. Wm. Williams, one of the parish collectors, produced the poor-rate book, for the purpose of showing that the names recorded in the registrar's book, and assigned to Eaton-street, had no existence. Mr. Pemberton stated - that Mr. Chubb,. acting under his advice, would reserve any defence he had to make until a future day. Mr. RUSHTON said that he should commit the prisoner to take his trial at the assizes, and would not decide at present whether or not bail should be accepted. STEAM NAVIGATION.—In the Act relating to steam navigation, noticed in The Sun of Saturday, reference is made to the 9 and 10 Vic., cap. 100 ; and it is directed that twice in every year, on or before the 30th April and the 31st October, two declarations shall be sent by the owners of steam-vessels to the Board of Trade respecting such vessels. The enactment is now to apply to all steamers, irrespective of the distance they run ; these declarations are only referred to in the new Act, but are particularly mentioned in the one passed in August, 1846. The first declaration is to be as to the sufficiency and good condition of the hull of every steamer, under the hand of a shipwright surveyor, to be appointed by the Board of Trade ; and the second, as to the sufficiency and good condition of the machinery of such steam vessels, under the hand of an engineer, to be approved in like manner. The declarations are to be registered, 1 and certificates granted of the same, in which the Board pf Trade may, under the new law, limit the number of passengers to be carried. Owners who have not trans mitted the declarations, are required to do so by the 20th instant.

It was found, however, that this, instead of abating the nuisance, increased it. A vestry meeting of the inhabi tants was then held, and a deputation, consisting of the churchwardens, the vestry clerk, and thein Lord Morpeth, medical officers of the parish, were appointed to wait . 0 v, a remedy.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—RE TIREMENT OF MR. CREED AND MR. BOOTH.—We learn, with unfeigned regret, that Mr. Creed and Mr. Booth gave in their resignations on Saturday. It is not necessary that we should - say of these gentlemen more than that they, and Mr. Saunders, the secretary of the Great Western, are universally acknowledged to bo three of the ablest railway men of the day. We believe that both Mr. Creed and Mr. Booth join the direction. This, it must be confessed, is but a poor satisfaction for the loss of their constant, vigilant, and able supervision of the internal affairs of the company; and we say this with a full knowledge of the various circumstances under which the resignations have taken place.—Herald. S N SEPTEMBER 11, 1848. THE CORN TRADE. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The duty on Wheat has de clined to 6s per quarter, and on Flour to 3s 72,-d per barrel. There is no alteration in the impost on other articles. We have had another week of highly pro pitious weather for the harvest, and the greater propor tion of tho grain is now secured in the north of England, and in good condition. The character of the northern harvest is likely to be superior to the southern, both as regards quality and quantity. At our Corn Exchange yesterday we had a fair show of samples of grain and Flour. There was a moderate sale for old Wheat to consumers at an advance of Id to 2d per bushel, and on bonded the improvement was 3d to 4d per bushel on the low rates at the beginning of this week. Flour, on the contrary, was a dull sale, and English sack was easier to buy. Indian corn was in good demand, and it was mostly cleared off at is to 2s per quarter advance, 36s per 4801 b being paid for American, both yellow and white. Indian meal was 6d per barrel dearer. In other articles of the trade there was no change from Tuesday, with small business doing. Prices are maintained to day. MANCHESTER, SATURDAY,--The weather since OUT last report, although wet for several hours on Tuesday, and subsequently rather cloudy, has on the whole con tinued of a favourable character." The trade, influenced thereby, as well as the decline in the value of wheat at most of the leading markets held during the week, has remained in a state of extreme inactivity, the transac tions in nearly every article being confined to the retail purchases made by necessitous buyers for the supply of their present wants, to effect which it was necessary to submit to lower prices generally. At Liverpool and Runcorn the arrivals of wheat and flour coastwise are to a fair extent; but of other articles thence or from Ireland the supplies are again scanty. From abroad the im ports of wheat, barley, and Indian corn are on a more liberal scale, and only moderate of other produce. A t our market this morning a firmer feeling was apparent in the trade; and at the reduction accepted during the week,'namely is to 2s per sack, a fair amount of business occurred in flour. Wheat must be noted 2d to 3d per 701b,-and oats Id_ per 451 b cheaper; whilst oatmeal, of which there was but little, either old or new, of suitable quality offering, sold slowly at barely the previous currency. THE ATMOSPHERIC SYSTEM. IMPORTANT INVENTION. The failure of the system of atmospheric traction adopted for two or three years upon the Croydon line, and recently upon the North-Devon, and its all buttotal abolition from our railways, must have greatly dis heartened those who believed that the invention was destined to create a new era in locomotion, and that the time was not far distant when that mode of pro • pulsion, now almost universal, would be banished altogether and for ever from the rail ways of the kingdom. Any pains that were expended in im proving the atmospheric mode of traction, one might naturally think would be lost, in consequence of its ill. repute owing to the disastrous results, in a pecu niary point of view, attendant upon its adoption and fair trial, so far as we have been enabled to judge upon the Croydon line. But the enormous ex pense, and the fearful and useless expenditure of power, are generally conceded to be the cause of the failure of the system heretofore tried, not the inapplicability of atmospheric traction, if ren dered more easy and less expensive of adoption. It is right, however, to state that the apparent novelty of propelling carriages by air generated undue prejudice in the minds of those who chose rather to adopt the opinions of others, than to take the trouble of forming one for themselves. The air we breathe seemed so weak, and untangible an agent, so impotent when applied to the propulsion of a thousand tons at the speed almost of lightning, so unmanageable, and so uncertain in its density, and, consequently, in its in fluence, that the promoters of the new system of traction had other obstacles to contend with than those which ordinarily attend the first applications of the best inventions. It may, therefore, almost be said that the system of atmospheric propulsion has fallen into abeyance. It was not, therefore, without some feelings of dis trust and misgiving that we inspected on Saturday last at the Rosemary Branch Tavern, in Peckham, the model of a railway, worked by a new mode of at mospheric traction, which promises, we think, judg ing from the experiments we witnessed, to supersede entirely the old and exploded system of Mr. Samuda, and :to commend itself, from its vastly inferior cost and simplicity, to the directors of railways in pro gress, but more especially to those who possess short traffic ; for instance, the Camden incline on the North-Western, and on a more extended scale on the South Devon, where its applicability might be severely tested on the steep gradients. The inventor seems very desirous to co-operate in a generous spirit with those interested in other systems, with - the view of adopting one general and satisfactory plan, an swering, in fact, all that is good in the old system, and eschewing all that has been proved, by practical and painful experience, to be altogether valueless and costly. We should state here, perhaps, that Mr. I'iatti, of Milan, is the inventor, and that it has been patented in this country by Messrs. Prosser and Ca - rcano. The plan is thus clearly described by the gentle men interested in its promotion, to one of whom (the gentleman who devoted much pains to indoctrinate us into the novelty of the invention) we have to express our thanks : " A reservoir is filled with compressed air, by means of a four-horse Cambrian steam engine—a communication between the reservoir and traction tube is maintained .by a pipe, and the supply of air regulated by a cock. The line of rails, which are eighteen inches apart, is 150 yards long—fifty thereof being on an incline of 1 in 30—a traction tube is placed between the rails, of 24-inch bore, giving an area of a trifle less than four inches. On the piston being inserted in this tube, and the end of the pipe hermetically closed, and the coulter attached to the carriage, which, with its load, weighs one ton— compressed air of about 301bs. pressure is admitted, and allowed to exercise its force for only twenty-one yards. This giies sufficient momentum for its tra velling over the remaining line of about 79 yards on a level, and nearly 50-more on the inclined plane. " This system is based in the power of compressed air, acting on a piston, travelling in a series of longi tudinal iron tubes, fixed between the usual iron rails. The upper side of the tube has, in its whole length, a slot or aperture. The tube is furnished with a lon gitudinal vulcanised india rubber valve, which, shut ing from within, closes the above slot. The piston has a vertical coulter, which, passing through the slot, is attached to the first carriage of the train. At the commencement of,.and at convenient distances on the line, are reservoirs, which are filled with com• pressed air, by means of small steam-engines con stantly at work, or by water power when advan• tageously to be obtained. To set the train in motion the piston is inserted in the traction pipe, and the coulter attached to the first carriage ; compressed air is then admitted from the reservoir into the traction pipe, and acting behind the piston, imparts a velocity according to the power employed, hermetically closing the longitudinal valve the moment the piston has passed. The com pressed air can easily be continued of the same force the whole of the course. The cocks of the reservoirs on the line may be worked by the train itself as it passes. The tube at several sections, according to the number of the reservoirs, has within it tranverse valves to stay the passage of the compressed air ; suspends its action. on the piston when nearing a station ; and to maintain and determine the commu nication from oae tube to the other, and in crossing the road. " Numerous advantages are possessed by the At mospheric Vacuum Railway over the locomotive ; viz., immense saving in cost of construction of the line and maintenance thereof; impossibility of colli sions, of trains taking fire, or of running off the rails ; facility of travelling up steeper inclines, and on curves of very small radius ; the direct application of the motive power on the load itself, instead of being, in a great measure absorbed by the locomotive engine and tender ; and the consequent ability of drawing twenty tons more goods every journey, from the absence 6f the locomotive and tender, usually of that weight. Mr. Piatti's system has all the above, as also the following advantages over the vacuum. " 1. Perfect closing of the longitudinal valve, which prevents any escape of air or loss of power. " 2. Uniformity of diameter of traction tubes at all acclivities. " 3. Facility of increasing or diminishing the pro pelling power according to the weight of the train. " 4. Facility of augmenting the speed of the train. " 5. Facility of surmounting steeper inclines. " 6. Regularity and precision in the Service of the trains. " 7. Saving by the engine and air pumps, being considerably less, and constantly at work. " 8. Economy of about twenty per cent. in con struction of the line. " 9. Economy of about twenty-five per cent. in its maintenance." This is a manifestat improvement over the vacuum system, inasmuch as according to Mr. Piatti's plan of compressed air no waste can take place; the power is expended in moving the train alone, and not on any foreign object. Its promoters, who consider that the engine-houses should be four or five miles apart, in stitute the following cemparison between the two systems : "TIIE VACUUM SYSTEM.-1. The longitudinal valve, shutting on the outside of the tube, and having a pressure of only from two to ten pounds on the square inch, cannot shut close, consequently much air gets in, and a considerable portion of the vacuum is destroyed, and propelling power lost. "2,3, 4, and s.—As the power, resulting from the pressure of the atmospheric or external air. (about eight pounds on the square inch) on the surface of the piston cannot be increased, it will be necessary to change the ordinary tubes, and replace them by much larger pipes and pistons, whenever an increase of power is required for heavier trains than ordinary, steeper inclines, or increased velocity. "6. The closing of the longitudinal valve being very faulty, a decrease in velocity of the train fre quently occurs, and sometimes a total stoppage. " 7. Large air-pnmps are required to be the action worked by very powerful steam-engines, because th of the pumps being intermittent, . suh t he_e loss of motivey are inactive nearly two-thirds of the time. iss power also takes place, f° of the longitudinal valve, from th e imperfect closing which adinits the external air, and diminishes the vacuum in the tubes. "8. This system requires the road to be more levelled than that for compressed air; as also a variety of tubes and pistons from a diameter of fifteen inches upwards. "9. Repairs of road from embankments, cuttings, &c., to make it more level; also repairs of large pipes, pistons, and complicated apparatus to valve, & c ., making the working expenses high." " MR. PIATTI'S COMPRESSED AIR.-1. The longi tudinal valve shuts within the tube, and no air can escape, as the pressure from the compressed air within the tube of at least thirty pounds to the square inch, must close the valve hermetically, and prevent any loss of propelling power. "2, 3,4, and s.—To accomplish the same objects, no change of tubes or pistons is requisite—it is only necessary to increase the force of the compressed air, which can be done to an almost unlimited extent. It can also be diminished at pleasure, by admitting smaller quantities through the cocks, which the train itself regulates in its passage. NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL. NORWICH, SUNDAY.—The preparations for the forth coming musical festival, which will commence to-mor row, are on a most extensive scale, and promise great effectiveness. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who has accepted an invitation from the Lord Bishop of Norwich to spend a week at the Palace during the festival, will arrive by special train from London to-morrow; and amongst the distinguished persons who have signified their intention of being present at the festival, and who have received invitations to dine with the Bishop, are the Marquis of Bristol, the Marquis of Douro, the Earl of Orford, the Earl of Rosebery, Earl Gosford, Lord Strad broke, Earl Jermyri, Lord George Bentinck, Lord Rane lagh, Lord Jocelyn, Lord Hastings, Lord Berners, Lord Stafford, Lord Sondes, Lord Walsingham, the Rev.

Jullien. SIR ROBERT PEEL AND MR. SALT, OF BIRMING HAM.-Mr. T. C. Salt has received the following note in reply to his letter on the currency to the Right Hon Baronet:— "Drayton Manor, Sept. 1, 1848. Sir Robert Peel presents his compliments to Mr. Salt, and has had the honour of receiving this day the communication addressed to him by Mr. Salt, Sir Robert Peel will limit himself to the assurance that he gives Mr. Salt entire credit for a sincere and disinte rested conviction of the truth of the doctrines which he maintains on the subject of the currency, and that Sir Robert Peel does not consider that he has the slightest ground to complain of the temper or spirit in. which Mr. Salt has expressed his total and unqualified dissent from the views of Sir Robert Peel." DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE IN WILLIAM SON-SQUARE, LIVERPOOL.—About ten o'clock last night, a gentleman, apparently about thirty years of age, and of respectable exterior, went down into Mr. Clarke's shooting gallery, in Williamson-square, in this town, and asked to have a few pistol shots at the bull's eye. The pistols were handed to him, and he fired fourteen shots. The fifteenth loaded pistol was then handed to him, when he deliberately said to the party in charge of the gallery, "We will now try it this time," at the same moment applying the mouth of the pistol to his right jaw, which, without further ceremony he discharged. The contents of the deadly weapon lodged in the unfortunate man's jaw and head, and it was, supposed for a moment that life was extinct. He, however, rallied, and was taken to the Northern Hospital, where, we learn, up to the hour of going to press, h e li es i n a most hopeless state. The melancholy occurrence, for which there appeared no imaginable reason, necessarily caused the greatest con sternation in the neighbourhood.—Liverpool Chronicle of Saturday. THE LATE AMATEUR PERFORMANCE AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.—Yesterday the committee of the Brunswick Club, which conducted the late amateur and other performances at the Theatre Royal, for the benefit of the sufferers by the Ocean Monarch, brought their 1 labours to a close by presenting the handsome sum of 1501. to the treasurer of the charity, Mr. Daniel Neil son. The spirited manner in which this undertaking was conducted, from first to last, reflects the highest credit on all the parties connected with it. When it was determined to assist the unfortunate sufferers by the performance, the members of the club who - happened to be present at the time the subject was mooted subscribed thirty guineas in aid of the undertaking, to prevent the possibility of loss or failure ; and the spirit with which the public and the professional leaders, and gentlemen in the town; seconded the efforts of the amateurs, has pro duced the gratifying result we have mentioned. — Liverpool Chronicle of Saturday. . LIEUTENANT EDWARDES. — This young officer, whose skill and gallantry in routing the army of the Moultan Raja with a handful of men have been for the last fortnight the subject of so much commendation in the continental as well as in the British press, is a na tive of Frodesloy, in Salop, where • he was baptized on the 17th of January, 1820, so that his laurels, of which the oldest general in tho army might be proud, have been won early indeed. His father, the Rev. Benjamin Edwardes, brother to Sir Henry Edwardes, of Ryton grove, Shrewsbury, was at the period, and for many years, rector of Frodesley, at an income of 3701. per annum. After receiving a preparatory education in his native village, the subject of this notice was sent to King's College, London, where, uncL•r the superinten dence of the Rev. Dr. Lonsdale, now Bishop of Lich field, his instruction was completed. He was one of those cadets, therefore, who had not the advantage afforded him of an education in the Honour able East India Company's establishment at Ad discombo. To a fortunate accident, therefore, do the company and the country owe the possession of the young hero's services. Through the instrumentality of his uncle, Sir Henry Edwardes, was the young man nominated to a cadetship by Sir Richard Jenkins, G.C.8., late M.P. for Shrewsbury, many years on the civil department in India. lie was passed and sworn on the 26th of August,•lB4o, as direct cadet of infantry on the Bengal establishment, and shortly afterwards pro ceeded to the scene of his future glorious career. It may be added, for distinction sake, that the name of the officer is Herbert Benjamin Edwardes, as several directors, from a similarity of surname in their Own protdgds, have been led into the mistake that the nomination of the young officer was theirs. A pleasing incident may be here mentioned. On Mr. Hume rising in the Lower House, a few nights since, to inquire into the nature of the reward intended to be conferred on Lieutenant Ed_- wardes, Lord J. Russell somewhat quickly interposed, and, addressing Sir John Hobhouse and Air. Hume,. said that the nature of the reward wou ld be made known to the officer by a communication from the Sovereign her self. A difficulty will arise a s to the p romotion of Lieu tenant Edwardes, owing to t he p eculiar regulations of thel Company's service , he bein g but yet a junior lieutenant ; but it is generally thought that, in the present instance, a special case will be made, and that he will of one be promoted to the milli of Field Officer.
