Man and his Maker alike condemn that ?Web " yields ne fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned for the same reason thit caused the barren fig tree to be cursed. ls curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth 'amine. But the mtledtction breathes loudest and deepest into the . ..Prat' of thove of the humipt race who remain childless in a community Pilch must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only r such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures, but their own hearts condemn them ; Wealth brings no consolation In the wifeless bosom—brings no return for the childless hems. It is a• remarkable fact that the unproductiveness of soil and Tecies arises from similarity of cause. Some lands are the produce of vitiated strata that yields an offspring as unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of nlinerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value ' by too early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some 8 0118, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the .rant of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Ma rk the ana logy ! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he spring.. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine 141s. such as mercury, &e. Man also tries his constitution too early, and avertasks it too late. Man, be unwholesome contact can also in 'et his frame ; and, to - Tender- the comparison complete, man can render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance ()this orga iize.tion and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy Cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have iieen rec ently se entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from atone itself; and. in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now removable through the profound discoveries in physic which enlighten the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been produced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove Sterility altogether: It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS .AND CO., Consulting - Surgeons. 7, Frith- street , Soho-square, London, and bears the—title of " MANHOOD: The Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for its Perfect Re storation;" and is sent by W.

Tho gentleman would have been considered by a passenger one of the finest-looking men in Scotland. The lady would have been regarded as remarkably pleasing—cr kind-►iearted —but, at the same time having a large share of intellect and decision in her appearance. As the people before and behind exhibited ❑o unusual feeling regarding them, and only a two-horse carriage was in waiting on the south side of the bridge, a stranger in these parts might have supposed that he had met a landlord, his lady, and their tenantry on the way from church. Europe, or the world, had no finer spectacle, notwithstanding its appa rent simplicity. The lady was the Queen of the widest and the greatest empire of the world ; the gentleman was her consort, and, from his position, the first in the land; their guards were the devotion and affection of their people, rising not merely from cold foundation of duty, but from respect and love to the character of the purest and the best Sovereign of a long line of Kings. And yet the preacher had spoken of troublous times in the Church they had left—troublous times that might have even shaken the strong structure of the Bi itish constitu tion except for the character of the lady who held the sceptre of the state. " At the south side of the bridge a small number of the people whose road lay down the river waited until the Queen's carriage came up, took off their hats or bon nets, and bowed. " There was, we think, no occurrence that could give umbrage to the Queen, who is known to be opposed to any great manifestation, even cf respect, in such circumstances." IRELAND. THE INSURRECTION. DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.--fi: accounts re ceived this morning from the south are gratifying to the extent of proving that the previous accounts were grossly exaggerated, and that the gatherings cf the peasantry were more of a local and agrarian than a political nature. The truth is, the general policy of the landlords has almost driven the people to despera tion, and we believe there is no longer any doubt of the recent meetings at Slievenatnon having been caused by the seizures and evictions by which Tipperary, Waterford, Limerick, and Clare have recently been distinguished. It appears now that the previous state ments, as to the insurrection, were not only grossly exaggerated, but that they contained very little of any truth. The bridge at Grenagh was not blown up by the rebels, nor was there any reason to believe that several of the peasantry had been shot. By the train which arrived at Kingshride . e this „ morning, we learn that everything was tranquil, and that little fear was entertained of even an attempt at an outbreak. The following appears in the Freeman's Journal of this morning : • " Kilkenny, Thursday Evening, Sept. 14. " The districts of this - and the adjoining county of Tipperary, which were disturbed during the beginning of the week, now wear an aspect of the utmost calm, and the people seem to be engaged in the fields at their usual avocations, as if nothing uncommon had recently occur red in the neighbourhood. Rumour is, of course, still busy, and we have flying reports of beacon-fires on the hills around Dungarvan, In the county of Waterford, last night, and of a meeting, this morning, of a large con course of peasantry, at a place called Bawndonnell, a portion of the Slievenamon range, but situate imme diately on the opposite side of the mountain frem Aheny. To these reports, however, I give but little credence, and I have no revolutionary' intelligence to impart to you which could be considered based upon any authority. " Major-General M'Donald is in this city, with his Aid-de-Camp, Lieutenant M'Donald, and his military secretary, Lieutenant-Colonel Wood. Captain Roberts, Assistant Inspector-General of Constabulary, has also arrived here to take command of the police force of the district. The battalion of the 60th Rifles, which arrived from Dublin by the late train of yesterday evening, are still encamped in the barrack square here. The head-quarters of the 83d re giment proceeded from Callan this morning to Fethard, en route for Fermoy. Two companies of the 75th, which have been for some time encamped at Callan, also left that town this morning, and had marched within two miles of Kilkenny, intending to join head-quarters, when they received a dispatch from General M'Donald, order ing them to remain in their Ifbrmer position. They accordingly returned to Callan, and again pitched their tents there. Orders were received by the commanding officer of the S3d, to leave 200 of his men in Fethard for the present. "It is asserted here that a farmer, residing in the neighbourhood of Bawnconnell, and obnoxious to the peasantry, was this morning shot by some of the people. This is stated on authority to which, under ordinary cir cumstances, credence would he fully due. But at pre sent I would be reluctant to vouch for the accuracy of any report not officially authenticated. " The driver of the Clonmel car, who arrived here at eight o'clock this evening, states that the most perfect tranquillity prevailed along the entire of his route through Tipperary.

We have been assured that scarcely a load of agricultural produce is sent to market without a person empowered by the landlord, his agent, the bailiff, or his agent, accompanying it to market, and receiving from the buyer the price of the commodity, giving to the grower anything, or nothing—just as he pleased.

VISIT OF THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE TO No. 17,465.] LONDON, SATURDAY .47 1 4, 4, 4 ' t • G DAKIN'S ROYAL PATENT COFFEE. Oa introducing this extraordinary and highly Important in vention, it will be necessary, In the first instance, to point out the evils and imperfections arising from all other principles of roasting and preparing Coffee at present in use. Coffee is almost universally roasted in an iron cylinder, which is turned by hand or steam power over a coke fire. The Coffee is lei in and out of the cylinder by means of a slide, which is the whole length of the cylinder, and which it is next to imposeible to resider perfectly air-tight ; the consequence of this defect is, that the sul phurous and noxious fumes of the coke penetrate into the cylinder and mingle with the Coffee. We will suppose,however, the cylinder containing the Coffee to be placed over the fire, which is th.ra co vered in, cylinder and all, and the process of roaming to be commenc ing. The first evidence of this fact is the vegetable vapour which is given off by tine Coffee, and which vapour is more orless impregnated with traffic and mettle acids, which acids, acting upon the iron, form gallates and malates with that metal. The heat continues, the va pour is condensed, and forms a most noxious fluid, which is mingling with the Coffee, and by the Increasing heat is again yap ,rised, and is assisted in its destroying work by one of the most powerful acids known, namely, by the pyroligncous acid, which is now beginning to be given off by the Coffee most freely. This vicious acid continues forming with the iron the acetate thereof, and imparting the saint to the Coffee, which receives, in addition, a sulphurous flavour from the coke. It should be observed, that so astonishingly great is the quan tity of pyroligneous acid formed, that many ounces may be collected from the roasting a single hundred weight of the berry. The action of the pyroligneoue acid upon either iron or copper cylinders is well known; with the former a compound is formed which, if not de cidedly injurious to health, gives to the berry a most acrid and dis agreeable flavour; whilst, with the latter, the result is verdigris. Again, by the usual roa=ting process, which is nothing more nor less than a species of destructive distillation, what possible chance has the aroma of this valuable berry of being properly developed? Supposing for one moment that it were properly developed, it is we:l known to be exceedingly volatile, and would quickly escape through the crevices in the slide of the cylinder ; whilst the vegetable vapour, being exceedingly sluggish, and containing the vicious and noxious acids, would remain behind,. giving to the Coffee that cankerous, acrid, and metallic taste, that renders the infusions of this otherwise most valuable and wholesome berry a beverage avoided by the deli cate, and highly injurious to the health of many who consume it. For guarding against all these evils, and for doing away with all those long-complained-of imperfections, her Most Gracious Majesty has been pleased to grant to Dakin and Company her Royal Letters Patent. The plan on which Se Dakin's Royal Patent Coffee" is roasted and prepared is as follows :—The iron cylinder is altogether Cone away with, and the Coffee is never, under any circumstance, allowed to come in contact with iron. A. SILVER cylinder is substituted, and the heat is obtained by means of the atmospheric air passed over hot plates, by which plan, as neither the fire, nor the fumes thereof, are in any way allowed to be in contact with the cylinder, the evils arising from the sulphurous vapours of the coke mixing with the Coffee are entirely avoided The sILV ER cylinder is so constructed that, through apertures made for the purpose, the vegetable vapour wnich contains the vicious acids from the Coffee, is allowed to es cape, whilst the apertures, being closeable at pleasure, are imme diately closed as soon as this, the first part of the process of roasting, is accomplished. The SILVER cylinder then becomes air tight, and the aroma, which otherwise would escape, is condensed on the berry, which thereby contains all its valued and Inherent excellence. The Coffee, after being sufficiently reacted in a SILVER cylinder, and after being cooled down in a SILVER cooler, is ready for purchasers who buy their Coffee whole : whilst the Coffee that is supplied ground, is pulverised between powerful stones, and for better preservation from the atmosphere, is recommended to purchasers prcked in glass bettle., containing two pounds each, which are corned down air-tight, and sealed with the Royal Arms. DAKIN and CO. will have great pleasure in showing many testi monials which they have received from the most eminent physicians, - surgeons, and gentlemen of the faculty, as to the beneficial effects and advantages of " Dakin's Royal Patent Coffee." The following certificate of Mr. Alfred S. Taylor and Mr. Arthur Aikin, the great authorities on chemistry, medical jurisprudence, :and the sanitary question, will, however, no doubt be deemed conclusive: — We hereby certify that we have chemically examined four " varieties of coffee—namely, best Mocha, Jamaica, Very Fine and " Good Plantation (Ceylon) Coffee, both in the raw state and as " prepared and roasted by the patent process of Messrs. Dakin. We " have likewise chemically examined samples of the same varieties "of Coffee roasted at the same time the usual way, and the result " of this examination is that in delicacy of flavour, odour, and as an " article of diet, the Coffee prepared by Messrs. Dekin's process is, in " our judgment, superior to that prepared in the ordinary way. "We have also examined the apparatus used by Messrs. Dakin " for roasting Coffee, and we find that all the surfaces with which " the Coffee comes in contact during this process are of silver. We " find also that great care is taken so to regulate the degree of heat " and the mode of its application as to render necessary a longer " time and lower temperature to effect the roasting, whereby all " risk of charring the berry or of producing empyreumatic oil is " prevented, the separation of acid vapour is more gradual and coin ' " plete, and a larger portion of aroma is retained than occurs in the " usual methods of coffee roasting. " The process of Messrs. Dakin appears to us, therefore, in a " chemical view, better adapted than any yet suggested for procuring " roasted Coffee in a pure and wholesome form. " AIKIN, " ALFRED S.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 15.—At this day's market there was a good attendance of town and country dealers, with a fair show of Wheat, but small of all other articles. The demand for free Wheat was very moderate, at a decline generally of Id to 2d per 7olbs; for bonded, however, there was a good inquiry, and few parcels on the spot or afloat being offered, prices were fully supported. There are scarcely any oats or old Oatmeal here, and, conse quently very full prices were realized. New Irish Oat meal brought 32s to 32s 6d per load. Barley, Beans, and Peas met a slow sale, without any material change in value. Indian Corn was in fair request, yet prices gave way is to 2s per quarter; and Corn Meal met little attention at 17s barrel. The transactions in Flour were unusually limited.

The carcase capped, is the carving cleaned off. The situation is one of the finest in the metropolis—the view from the state rooms of the new house, over the park and towards Buckingham Palace, is perfectly beautiful, and, in point of locality, t he house is not to be matched, i nc l u di ng amongst i ts neighbours, together with the buildings already named. Stafford-house, the residence of the tasteful and excel: cellent Duchess of Sutherland, St. James's Palace, and Marlborough-house. The plan approaches a square; the south front is 142 feet 6 inches, from east to west; and the west front 122 feet from north to south; and there are two small courts within the mass to aid in lighting the various apartments. It was originally pro posed to erect a square tower at the north-east angle. The palace-residences of Rome and Venice furnish the general types for the elevations, skilfully combined in good proportions: the details are mostly very elegant, and the general effect good. The projection of the wings is very slight. It is by the careful outlining of eve r) moulding, and the repeated study of every orna ment, no matter where it is to be placed, that Mr. Barry succeeds in giving to all his buildings that degree of finish and completeness which distinguishes them. The south elevation differs from the west in having no pro jections of the front wall. Vases surmount the dies of the halUstrade. The entrance-porch, not yet built, will be in the centre, and be surmounted at the angles by similar vases. The whole of these fronts, and part of each of the other fronts, are faced with Portland stone. In examining the interior of the building, when finished, one point will particularly force itself on the attention, and that is the care which has been taken so to plan it, that the freedom of access to his fine gallery of pictures, which Lord Ellesmere proposes to grant the public, may not be interfered with by the private requirements of the liberal owner. — The Builder. THE PICTURE-GALLERY OF LORD ELLESMERE TO BE OPENED TO THE PUBLIC.—The gallery of the new edifice (Bridgewater House, Green Park), occupies the whole of the north side of the house, and is carried out a few feet beyond the cast wall of the ground floor. This extension is carried on stone landings and iron can tilevers, which come throu4h at least twenty feet, and are there securely tied down. The height of the gallery is thirty-two feet, and the width is the same. The roof is formed with iron principals, elliptical outside, with a horizontal tie about midway to form a flat ceiling inside, with coved bides, from which the gallery is lighted. The walls will be perfectly flat from the level of the dado up to the cornice; and in order that no hanging chandeliers may obstruct the view in any part, an arrangement will be made to illuminate the gallery at night, which is somewhat peculiar. A burner (probably gas) will be fixed outside each light in the cove with a stronger re flector, by which means, further, the heated atmosphere paintings withint admitin gs t h e properly ys tdwauni during na b rgd e ts h a e v od being iadye, putd.a and tAi out a t v e oo l fi e d s s c i o g p e consequent on the numb er o f l am p s requ i re d t o s how the f tu r o b m e the obstruction of sun-light, and a gallery is formed exter nally to give easy access to them.—The Builder. We understand that the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company have purchased the Union Canal, the terms being that the canal stock be converted into rail way shares . in the proportion of three of the canal to one of the railway. This will give the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway virtually a monopoly of the whole goods and the cheap passenger traffic between the East and West of Scotland, with the exception of the more bulky commodities, such as corn, &c., which will still be conveyed by the Forth and Clyde Navigation.—. North British Mail. THE ORDNANCE. —It is understood that early next year a variety of new regulations will be adopted in reference to the barrack accommodation afforded to the troops in Ireland, and also in parts of England. It ap pears that Lord Hardinge, during his stay in Ireland, gave it as his opinion that sufficient accommodation was not afforded to the troops, nor sufficient attention paid to their comforts. In this opinion his Lordship will be supported by all who have had experience in the matter. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. BALMORAL, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13. Her Majesty and the Prince walked this morning in the grounds of Balmoral, after which his Royal Highness went out deer-stalking. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by his royal sisters, and attended by Miss Hillyard, also went out walking. BALMORAL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. For the first time, since the arrival of the Court here, her Majesty had yesterday an opportunity to enjoy the delightful scenery of her beautiful and romantic Highland retreat. The day was a bril liant autumnal one, although a sharp breeze prevailed during the morning; but about noon the wind gra dually lulled, when the air became mild and serene. Soon after eleven o'clock the Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and attended by Viscountess Canning, the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, and Sir James Clark, rode out on horseback. On passing over Cratline-bridge; Prince Albert and Sir George Grey left the royal party, and rode over the hills, to have a few hours' sport on the grounds of Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., who holds a lease of the shootings of Gairn-e-Shiel. Sir 13. Hall's shot ing ledge is situate on the banks of the Gairn, a con siderable stream, that takes its rise near the source of the Don, on the south side of Ben Avon, and falls into the Dee about three miles above Ballater, and the neighbouring moors 4 "are well streaked with game. Th e scener y on its banks is bleak and mountainous, with little wood for shelter, beauty, and variety,— - •1•• - ----Her Majesty and Visconntei s ' 'Vat ga eparty continued their ride towards Invergeldie, and re turned to the Castle shortly before two o'clock to luncheon. In the afternoon the Queen, accompanied by the Countess of Gainsborough, Viscountess Canning, and Lord Alfred Paget, again rode out a considerable distance along the south side of the Dee, and about four o'clock the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and Prince Alfred, and attendants, enjoyed a ride of four miles up the river side. The fineness of the weather apparently induced her Majesty and the whole of the inmates of the royal residence to avail themselves of the opportunity that offered of seeing the varied scenery by which the Castle is environed. The route selected by the Queen was one of the most agreeable, the scenery being the most magnifi cent for miles around. After passing Craignordie, at the base of which is Craig-na-gugheen, from which, in days of yore, the Farquharson& of Invercauld derived their slogan (war -cry), a splendid vista of mountain and forest, open to the eye through the narrow pass between the hills of Craig-spannie and Craig spenie, the latter meaning the hill of the nose, from its resemblance to that feature, on the one hand, and on the other the fine valley contained between Craig spenie and Balloch Bowie. Her Majesty expressed her delight in viewing the attractions presented, and, occasionally, the royal party were brought to a stand to enjoy the scene around them. After the return of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and Sir George Grey from Sir Benjamin Hall's, they joined the Queen and royal party. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and the several members of the royal household, being desir ous to inspect the process of the distillation of the national beverage, honoured the Loch-na-gar Distil lery with a visit. Mr. Begg, one of the proprietors, met the royal visitors on their approach, and con ducted them through the works. It fortunately happened the distillery was in full operation, for it was actually the last day on which it could be worked until the new crop is ready. Prince Albert minutely examined all the operations, and asked many ques tions, although he was fully acquainted with the treneral principles on which the process was con ducted. Mr. Begg explained each department, from the drying and mashing of the malt till the liquor became the real " mountain dew." The Prince tasted some of the liquor, and her Majesty also con descendingly put the vessel to her lips. The Prince Consort thanked the worthy proprietor for his courtesy. All those employed on the establishment celebrated the honour conferred on the distillery by the royal visit in the evening. The Earl of Aberdeen has arrived from Hada° House on a visit to her Majesty, and has been out shooting with his son the lion. Captain Gordon, and bagged nine brnee of grouse. The Braemar gathering, appointed for to-morrow, was postponed for a fortnight, in expectation of the auspicious presence of the Queen and Court to their party. It is quite dependant on the weather if the Queen goes or not, but his Royal Highness Prince Albert is to be present. Great prep trations are being made fur rendering it worthy the presence of the august visitors. The Duke of Leeds and the Hon. Sir Alexander Duff have distinguished guests visiting at their respective residences expressly to be specta tors of the exciting exhibition, and the Duke of Atholl, it is said, is to bring over from Blair Atholl a band of his Highlanders, and other chiefs with their clansmen are to attend. The North British Daily Mail of yesterday sup plies the following interesting details : "It was generally known that the Queen and Prince Albert would be present at worship at Crathie parish church on Sunday, but the circumstance did not cause any of that excitement which was supposed to have been highly and justly offensive to her Majesty at Blair Athol. The church is a small building, and was quite full, but not over-crowded. The congregation appeared to con sist entirely of the parishioners, who may have attended in larger numbers than is usually the case, but of of the people from neighbouring parishes seemed to be pre sent. The visitors at Ballater, eight miles lower on the river, were not there; and the attendance was not equal to the numbers who would be present on a communion Sabbath. Crathie parish church stands on a slope of a range of mountains that are separated there by the valley of the Dee. Balmoral Castle oc cu p ies a similar and slightly elevated position on the opposite bank. The valley at that point is much contracted; but the popula tion is considerable, and the houses have a comfortable appearance generally. The communication between the north and south banks of the river is main tained by a chain bridge, of a fragile appearance, and doubtful character. Before the arrival of her Majesty, it had been exposed to a strain of two tons, and was found to yield little; but the trustees have taken the precaution of intimating, on large board s on each pier, that not more than one loaded cart sho uld p ass the bridge at once. The precaution appears to be highly necessary, for even under the tread of three or tour passengers, the bridge yields more than consists with a feeling of comfort in bridge-crossing. The river at the spot is broad and rapid, and the channel rocky, while from the nature of the banks on each side, the platform of the bridge has a high elevation. The view westward is confined by the ranges of mountains that seem to close in the world in that direction, as the river ben ds round the base of the hill on which ' Balmoral Castle is built. The view eastward from the bridge is singularly beauti ful, and has a combination of scenery not often sur passed, even in the Highlands. The church Was specially whitewashed and cleaned, the pulpit neatly covered with cloth, the front seats of the gallery decorated and painted, and the pew set apart for her Majesty and the Prince covered with crimson cloth, , and a small canopy of crimson fringe was suspended from the roof. The improvements were very neatly done, and not out of keeping with the unpretending characte r of a Hi g h land church , which is seldom or ever att ended by a proprietor. The only proprietors in the p arish are the Earl of Fife, services who is under trustees; Colon el Gordon, of Abergeldie, ash is in the same position; and Mr. Farquharson, of of the Invercauld. parish, cTohnedußcteevd the . r. Anderson,in the form usua l in who is minister the Church of Scotland. He read part of the last ad dress of Moses to the Israelites, and made some remarks elicited by the passage on the nature and character of national sins. His text was the 36th verse in the Bth chapter of John's Gospel. The rev. gentl eman i s not a pleasing speaker. His voice is harsh, and admits, appa rently, of no modulation. He would not have been ac counted some timo since a favourable representative of the parochial ministry of Scotland; but the composition of his discourse was better than the delivery. It was remarkable for brevity, and occupied exactly twenty five minutes. It was singularly faithful, and calculated to be remembered by the highest and lowest of its hearers; not from the eloquence of the preacher, nor from the character of the style, but from the plain, downright truths it contained, and the personal applica tion made of them to the state of every human being. "Crathie church on this occasion presented one of the finest illustrations that the world can exhibit of the equality of all the creatures before God. P easant g i r l s in printed cotton , a nd Highland matrons in their snow vti hite caps and plaids, were seated next the Queen of England; and the whole appearance of the congregation was most respectful, not merely to the high personages there but to the practical feeling that this was a place of worship of the Highest, and that they professed therein to be engaged. The preacher read the 61st paraphrase, and the word had evidently escaped the Queen, who turned round to a young man in the pew immediately behind, and requested him, apparently, to ' show her the place,' as people say in Scotland.

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

PORTSMOUTII, Stele 15.—The Lords of the Admi ralty slept last night and breakfasted this morning at the George Hotel, after which, Lieutenant Herrick, their Lordships' Flag-Lieutenant, embarked the whole party in the Admiralty huge, at the Sally port-stags, and steered :for the depot ship Illustrious, Captain Yates, fig of Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8., the second i n com mand. The Victory saluted as the barge, with the flag flying, passed no the harbour. On board the Illustrious the whole of die " ordinary" was mustered. Their Lordships then went on board the Blake, the depot ship of the steam squadron; Captain Horatio Austin, C. 8., and Commander Stevens received the Board, who mus e tered the steam-staff after the same manner as the or dinary. The Admiralty then landed at the King's stairs, in the dockyard, about twelve o'clock, where all the officers of the establishment received them and con ducted them over the yard. A t the Canaberedock their Lordships were met by Mr. Peter Rat, the contractor for the immense works completed end in progress in this establishment, and his superintendent, Mr. Edmund Smith, C.F 4 , Tbis Cambeiedock is progressing very ra pidly, at which their Lordships expressed their satisfac don. They then crossed over to the west factory on the edge of the steam-basin, and ascended to the highest story. Here :the Earl of Auckland expressed his gra tification to Mr. Bolt at the appearance and pro gress of the structure, the whole of which, under the indefatigable superintendence of Mr. Murray, the engi neer-in-chief of the establishment, will, before many months, be in full activity. From this part of the works their Lordships went and surveyed the new dock (No. 9) building, adjacent to the patent slips. They afterwards returned, and crossing over the caisson of the basin, took a view of the extension of the sea-• wall building by Mr. Rolt. The Centaur steam-frigate in the basin was then boarded by their Lordships, who were received by Commander Stevens, of the steam squadron. This vessel was fully inspected, as was the Retribution, also in the basin, after which the whole party proceeded to the mansion of Sir Charles Ogle to luncheon. At two o'clock their Lordships inspected the Central Mathematical School under the superintendence of Professor Woolley, and the Dockyard School, under Head-master Rawson. The conduct of the establishment and the proficiency of the pupils yielded the highest satisfaction to the Board. Lord John Hay and Captain Berkeley then went on board the Plumper screw schooner in the harbour, while the other members of the Board went to the battery field ; here again Mr. Rolt and Mr. Smith escorted the official party over their work, which is upon a most extensive scale, the hard and road for the use of the public in lieu of the others taken into the improvements of the locality being among the principal features. On passing to this quarter in the morning, their Lordships inspected the-inlets of the steam basin, the estimates fur which will be introduced into next year's budget. After a most minute inspection of the whole internal economy of the dockyard, their Lordships adjourned to their hotel, and thence to Admiral Superintendent Pres cott's to dinner. The following comprised the party:— Rear-Admiral Prescott, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Lord Auckland, Lord John Hay, heard-Admiral Dundas, Captain Berkeley, Captain Milne, Captain Yates, Cap tain James, Captain H. Eden, Colonel Irvine, Colonel Powell, Sir B. Walker, Captain Ellice, Mr. Ward, Mr. Fincham, Mr. Brown, and Flag. Lieutenant Aplin. The Adventure naval store transport, Peter Welling ton master, was towed to Spithead by the Echo steam tug this morning, and sailed immediately for Plymouth. She took all the supernumeraries from this port. The Plumper screw steam-vessel arrived this morning from Woolwich, in the charge of Lieutenant Robert Robertson, of the Fisgard. Silo is to try rates of steam• irig to-morrow with the Termagant and the Encounter. A vast quantity of shot and iron ballast has been put on board the Ajax to counter-balance the ill effect pro duced by the misplacing her engines. She has been, in coneequence, brought to the draught of 18 feet 7 inches forward, and nearly 20 feet aft. In Pert and fitting—The Victory, 22, flag-ship; IF. luetrious, 10; Blake hulk, temporary guard-ship of at,arncni Excellent, gunnery excrehe-ship; Cyclops, Devastation, Fairy, Myrtle, Lightnieg, Echo, and • yachts. In the Basin—The Malabar, coal depot ; Ajax steam guard ship ; and Kingfisher, 12. In the New Basin—The Centaur, Retribution, Hecate, Plicenix, Salamander, Cuckoo, Otter, - Sprightly, Fire Queen, and Jackal. In Dock—The Pembroke, 72 ; Collingwood, 80; Cor morant, Dwarf, and Undine, steamers; Flying Fish, 12. At Spithead—The Powerful, 84 ; Rolls, boys' exer cise brig. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 15.—The Vesuvius steam-sloop, Commander Austen, was paid off tc-day at this port. The Arrogant steam-frigate, with auxiliary screw propeller, and the Sharpshooter and Styx steam-vessels, are in the docks, having some alterations effected, and being made ready for sea. The Firebrand, Flamer, Janus, Medina, Prometheus, and Vulture steam-vessels, are in the basins fitting fur sea, and the Ariel steam vessel fitting with a smoke consuming apparatus. - The Fisgard frigate, the Vesuvius, Monkey, Charon, and the Niger, steam-vessels, are in the harbour, and the latter will be again tried in a few days. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have or dered that the 32-pounder guns, 24 in number, are to bo taken to the Royal Arsenal, with the guns of the Ar tillery Companies, for preservation during the winter. The 32-pounders are mounted on ship or garrison car riages, for the exercises of the Boat Brigade, and the field-battery guns for the Artillery Companies. The receipt of this order renders it probable that there will not be any inspection of the Dockyard Brigades by the L-rds of the Admiralty during the present year. CHATHAM, SEPT. 15.—The Wildfire steamer, tender to the Port Admiral at Sheerness, is to betaken in dock to-morrow at this yard to have the defects of her hull and machinery made good. The Columbia steam-sloop, in dock, making good ber defects and fitting for sea, has bad her temporary deck removed. She is to be armed with four 32-pounders, 25 cwt. each, broadside guns, and they are to be fitted on Hardy's transporting slides. The Warspite, 50, fitted for guns, is to be removed to-morrow to her moorings in Long-reach, Gillingham. A party of shipwrights left Sheerness Dockyard yes terday for the purpose of assisting in the undocking of La Hogue steam-guard ship, at Green's building-yard, at Blackwall, this day, when she will be navigated to Woolwich, and to-morrow she is to be towed to Sheer ness. - Last evening 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 14 privates of the Royal Marines, arrived at this division in charge of First-Lieutenant M‘Carthy, from Portsmouth, having been paid off from the Ferret sloop, and the Crocodile, 8 guns, receiving-ship. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT M r. W i ll iam Payne held an i nques t on Th urs d a y, in stßarthlo mew's Hospital, on th e b o dy of Sarah Middleton, aged 81. The deceased lived with her son, at 68, Wynyard street, Goswell-street, and about six weeks back she went into the workshop to look for a broom. Her grandchildren told her that the broom was not there, and as soon as she left ,the shop, they fastened the doors, and looking out of the window they began laughing at her. The deceased, exasperated at the conduct of the children, got out upon a zinc flat, and having found broom, she was in the act of striking the children with it, when she overbalanced herself and fell off the flat upon her head, a distance of nearly twelve feet. She was picked up in an insensible state, bleeding copiously from the injury to the head, and died yesterday morning in the above institution. Verdict—" Accidental death. SOCIETY FOR THE REFORMATION OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS. —On Thursday afternoon a meeting of the committee of the above valuable society was held at the institution in St. George's-fields, Southwark. In the selection of a plan for the Farm School of Industry, about to be founded, that of Mr.Moffat was chosen as being best fitted to carry out the intentions of the corporation. In this building the boys are to be accommodated in fa milies of 50 or 60 each, and, although thus divided, every facility will be maintained for an efficient and complete superintendence. A general system of agricultural in struction will also be kept up. This establishment is t con fidently looked forward to by undmoters ation of a new institution as being likely to lay the the promoters of the system of training the children of the poor; and, besides having all the comforts and appliances of home, it will give greater facilities for instructing the different classes of boys according to their condition and future destina tion, and is muchmoresimple l than the expensive and artificial system which has _ been hitherto employed. Fisu INFESTED win' VERMIN.—Fish taken in the Serpentine —more particularly in the'Kensington-gardon end of the river—are often found to have attaching to them as many as four or five vermin,usually designate 4 “.Licer These animals are said f to resemble l those with which sheep are infested, but age gelatinous consistency. This singular phenomenon, though o tev w e h d ie p h rev th iously unknown to the public, is yet one with lions officers of the park and observant anglers °have long been acquainted ; and adds another proof to the many already afforded, of the foul and seriously un healthy condition of the water in which the vermin are bred. MORE CHARTIST ARRESTS.---On Thursday Mr. Boswick, chief superintendent of police, Manchester, arrested Patrick Devlin, of Manchester, and William Grocott, secretary to the Miners' Association, also of Manchester. They were both arrested under bench ; warrants, and were ordered to find bail, themselves in loot, each, acid tvve saPile4 94 . 504 STATE OF KERRY. KILLARNEY, SEPT. 11.—On Saturday last there was a meeting of the depositors in the Killarney savings' bank held in the Court-house, to prepare an address to Mr. Herbert, M.P. for the county, ea pres sive of their gratitude for the services he had rendered and the unabated zeal with which he urged their claims upon the Government, althought without success. The depositors felt deeply the obligation, and expressed their satisfaction in a short and %veil written address, which will soon be presented to their 'in 1 et n f It is certainly due to Mr. lent - if to state, that he has fulfilled his duty to his constituents, and although a Conservative, voted for the few popular questions which came before the Llouse of Commons in the last session. The condition of the people in this part of the country is most disheartening. They had expectod to retrieve their br.rl losses in some degree by the crops of this year. But they have been sadly and bit terly di-appointed. The failure of the potato here is all but universal. One third of the quantity dug does not prove sound, and what is still worse, the decay is rapidly on the increase. The farmers ::ay that the last week of fine weather, instead of retard ing, has accelerated the corruption of the tubers. The poor people are utterly bewildered. Two years of famine were followed by the loss of 20,0001. in the savings' bank • and now comes another potato blight to complete their misery ! Another cause of depression which operates very extensively, although strictly local in its character, is this—the chief produce of Kerry consists of butter, pork, and black or "dry" cattle, for exportation to the midland and northern counties. Butter this year is nearly 20s. a cwt. lower than in the last ; pork has fallen in price before American competition ; and the sale of horned stock has almost altogether ceased. The jobbers, who purchased largely at the fairs for inland traffic, and expended consi derable sums among the mountain breeders, by which they were enabled to pay the March rent—this useful class has been put completely hors de combat by the bank failure. They draw out their money in the beginning of summer, purchased cattle, and after realising a good profit in the interior, returned the aggregate amount to the savings' bank until the fol lowing year. This class of dealers has been utterly extinguished, and the stock of dry cattle remains un sold on the hands of the farmers. There is a rumour here that a landlord of high pre tensions, who has received a large sum for drainage, has been paying his labourers with meal, and realis ing a profit on the sweat of misfortune. This per version of the public money, which the Earl of Cla rendon appears to have fresh in his mind's eye when lashing certain of the Irish landlords, cora m Mr. Beazley, was rerresented to the Board f Works, and the proprietor has in consequence been ordered to Dublin to render an account touching the money and the meal. It would be well such practices were checked in time, for, without inculpating the gentle man referred to, it is unquestionable that the public money has been very widely jobbed in this county as elsewhere. Since assistance is expected from the state in the coming winter, an example or two among the " meal-mongering" proprietors would greatly tend to keep straight their dealings with the :pea santry and their accounts with the Board of Works. The Board of Works is presidinglover the erection of a sumptuous lunatic asylum within a short distance of this town. The estimate of the work, of which Sir Thomas Deane is the contractor, is not less than 28,0001., to provide accommodation for 250 inmates, or at a rate of 1101. or so per head! People here imagine that a modest and convenient structure, which would cost about 10,0001., would be prefer able to the bastard and unappropriate piece of archi tecture which is to link arms with:the poor-house on the other side of the road. Colonel Jones has been down here on a tour of inspection, but he suddenly returned to Dublin last week for some object con nected with the Premier's visit. _ _ . Our beautiful lakes are comparatively deserted this season, for " when sorrows come, they come not single." Real famines deterred strangers before — now immaginary rebellions do the same work. You might hear an odd bugle, or the occasional and most musical plash of the oar on some fine mornings or evenings while standing on the quay at Ross. But the old and buisy life of innkeepers, boatmen, and buglers is extinguished. No stag-hunts—no dejeunts —no dancing. Everything is changed but the " Genius of the place," who will haunt it, and fill it for ever with the beautiful, the graceful, and the grand. SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR RICHARD LEVINGE, BART. This gentlemen suddenly dropped dead at four o'clock on last Tuesday evening, while out on a walk in the grounds of his princely residence, Knock drill Castle. He was, up to the fatal moment, in his usual good h ealth, and had reached his sixtieth year.
