Coffee is almost universally roasted in an Iran cylinder, which is turned by hand or steam power over a cake fire. The Coffee is let in and out of the cylinder by means of a slide, which is the whole length of the cylinder, and which it is next to impossible to render perfectly air-tight ; the consequence of this defect is, that the sul phurous and noxious fumes if the coke penetrate into the cylinder and mingle with, the Coffee. We will suppose, however, the cylinder containing the Coffee to be placed over the fire, which is then co vered in, cylinder and all, and the process of roasting to be commenc ing. The first evidence of this fact is the vegetable vapour which is given off by the Coffee, and which vapour is more or less impregnated with Gallic and mallic 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 vap.aised, and is assisted in its destroying work by one of the most powerful acids known, namely, by the pyroligneous acid, which is now beginning to be given off by the Coffee most freely. This vicious acid continues forming with the iron the acetate thereof, and imparting the same 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 pyroligneous acid upon either iron or copper cylinders is well known; with the former a compound is formed which, if not de cidedly injurious to health, gives to the berry a most acrid and dis agreeable flavour; whilst, with the latter, the result is verdigris. Again, by the usual roasting prooess, which is nothing more nor less than a specieli 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 well 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 en which "Dakin's Royal Patent Coffee" is roasted and prepared is as follows :—The iron cylinder is altogether done away with, and the Coffee is never, under any circumstance, allowed to come in contact with from. 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 AMY Fat cylinder is so constructed that, through apertures made for the purpose, the vegetable vapour which contains the vicious acids from the offee, 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 packed in glass bettle=, containing two pounds each, which are corked down air-tight, and sealed with the Royal Arms. DAKIN and CO. will have great pleasure in showing many testi monials which 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 aathorities on chemistry, medical jurisprudence,:aad the sanitary question, will, however, no doubt be deemed conclusive:— " We hereby certify that we have chemically examined four . . varieties of coffee—namely, best Mocha, Jamaica, Very Fine and Good Plantation (Ceylon) Coffee, both in the raw state and as prepared and roasted by the patent process of Messrs. Dakin. We have likewise chemically examined samples of the same varieties of Coffee roasted at the same time 'in tke 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. Dakin'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 preveated, the separation of acid vapour is more gradual and com plete, and a larger portion of aroma is retained than occurs in the usual methods of coffee roasting. " The process of Messrs. Dakin appears to us, therefore, in a chemical view, better adapted than any yet suggested for procuring roasted Coffee in a pure and wholesome form.

The canal revenue 'account showed that a net sum of 63,255/. had been received, including 7,751/. from the last account, and 59,892/. expended in payment of in terest on the canal shares and loans, leaving a balance of 3,363 L After a short conversation, resolutions were passed, adopting the report and approving of the arrangement entered into for leasing the Shropshire Canal fur the term of 21 years. Thanks were voted to the Chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. BOUTH•WESTERN RAILWAY.—BRANCH TO DATCHET —Since the opening of this line, on the 22d of last month, the number of passengers travelling thereon have been immense, particularly on Sundays when the wea ther has been fine. On the 3d and 10th of this month more than 4,000 passed and repassed on each of those days, 62 trains ranning in twelve hours—via., 31 down and 31 up; to Richmond eleven both ways, going to Datchet. On Sunday, the 17th, the number was even greater. The inns and public-houses at Datchet could not accommodate one- tenth of the number. It is said that this branch is likely to prove one of the most profitable belonging to the South-Western Company. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—The commit tee of directors appointed at the late half-yearly meeting of this company to open a negotiation with George Hudson, Esq., M.P., met th at ge ntl eman a t the Bush Inn, on Friday last, and came to an arrangement to the effect that they will recommend the shareholders to dis pose of the line, with all its liabilities, to the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company (of which Mr. Hudson is chairman) at f our per cent . ; the arrange ment to take effect on the Ist o f O cto b er nex t : with this contingency, that whenever the York and Newcastle Company divide nine per cent. they are to pay tie Maryport and Carlisle shareholders five percent. It is not likely that there will be anrcopposition to the pro posed transfer.—Carlisle Patriot. • LIVERPOOL AND BURY RAILWAy.--The viaduct at Liverpool is complete, with the exception of five arches over the dock property. The Walton and Upholland tunnels are finished, and all the bridges between Liver pool and Wigan are built. The double way is laid and ballasted for that distance. From near Wigan to the junction with the Bolton and Preston Railway the bridges are all built and a portion of the permanent way laid down, and only a few thousand yards of earth-work have yet to be removed. The large viaducts near Bolton are in a forward state, that at Bolton being finished with the exception of the planking. The masonry of the Darcy Lever viaduct is complete, and two-thirds of the iron-work is fixed. The stone viaduct at Bury is finished. The permanent way (double line) is laid through between Darcy Lever and the Bury viaduct. Several of the plat forms and stations are built, and the signals are now being put up; and should the weather be favourable, the line may be opened for passenger traffic in October next. —Liverpool Journal.

Man and his Maker alike condemn that which " yields DO fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned for the same reason that caused the barren fig tree to be cursed. l it oudest brings deepest tthe into eatrut h e ear of those of the human r ace who remain childless in a Community f T a l m il n e e ur . s e Butell n g t e t o malediction Ste rility in everyre h s e h s ape ; reatures which must altogether fail, wit hout cont ei h of t ityrinual addifellowtion. c Not only do such encounter the silent sc orn a p but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation to the wifeless bosom —brings no return for the childless hems. It is a remarkable fact that the unproductiveness of soil and species arises from similarity of cause. Some lands are the produce of vitiated strata tha t y ields an offspring as unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose e valu by being toe early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some soils, originally fertile, become barren by exc ess of tillago ; other are spoiled by unwholesomo manures ; and others, again, by the want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Mark the ana logy ! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he springs. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early, and .wertasks it too late. Man, by unwholesome contact can also in fect his f-amo ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance of his orga.iization and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have been recently se entirely overcome by modern Improvement in agricul ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from stone itself; and, in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now removable througk 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. STRANGE, bookseller, Pater noster-row, London, post-paid, in a sealed envelope, by initial or to any address, for 2s. 6d. in postage stamps, secure from observation. L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human breast. 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 thims upon carat. 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 or 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 beon instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being mast subsequently he beyond measure deplorable ! 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 unaroyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and d eser i es the attent'on of all.

REVIEW OF TIER woag. La'Mert en the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drams of life which are acted with no spectator butt Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge hint ! In the book before as such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust It in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but o herover laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breatldng in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

On Friday the half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this railway was held in Gibb's Royal Hotel, Edinburgh. Captain Stewart, of Binny, the chairman of the company, presided. The SECRETARY read the report of the directors, of which the following is an abstract:— " Since last meeting the directors had to report that in consequence of one•half of the capital of the company not having been raised and expended, they were unable to carry the Bill for amalgamating the company with the Edinburgh and Glasgow. They had much pleasure, however, in informing the shareholders, that with the approval of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company they succeeded in converting that Bill into one legalising the holding of stock in the Edinburgh and Bathgate by the Edinburgh and Glasgow, thereby enabling them to raise money for the payment of the calls on the large amount of shares held by them. This Bill had now received the royal assent. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Company were thus relieved from the position in which they were placed by holding shares for which they had no legal contract, and the directors of the Edinburgh and Bath gate were freed from the difficulty they experienced in recovering payment of the calls due on these shares, which had materially impeded the progress of the works. The directors had further to report that the Bill for the de viation of the Uphall and Binny branch, with powers to extend their Whitburn branch to the Benhar coal fields, had also been sanctioned by Parliament. By the devia tion a considerable saving was effected, and an increase of capital was required for the extension. The financial position of the company had occupied the serious atten tion of the directors. Though aware of the continued depression in the monetary world, and the difficulty ex perienced in raising money to complete the ♦arious lines throughout the kingdom, they did not feel justified in unduly postponing the completion of _the works, seeing that the undertaking would shortly become remunerative from the prospect of an early junction with the Wilson town, Morningside, and Coltness Railway, whereby the resources of an extensive and valuable mineral district would be opened up, and a new line of communication effected between Edinburgh and Glasgow. A reference to the state of the accounts made it obvious that another call of 21. 10s. must immediately be made. The advan tages of promptly responding to this call were appa rent, as the amount it might be the means of realising, together with the arrears and sums paid in anticipation of calls, would place the company in a position to exer cise their borrowing powers. It was earnestly hoped that the arrears still outstanding would be immediately settled, as the period of opening the line, and thereby making the large sums already expended productive, would depend entirely on the amount of arrears placed at the disposal of the shareholders. Looking to the mutual advantages to be derived from an early junction and simultaneous opening of the Wilsontown and Bath gate lines, the directors of the Bathgate, in con junction with the Wilsontown and Edinburgh and Glasgow directors, considered it essential vigorously to force on a completion of a single rail meanwhile, leaving the double line to be completed as circumstances and the funds of the company would permit. The report concluded by stating that it was the confident hope of the directors that the shareholders, by cordially second ing their exertions, would enable them to open the line for traffic early in the ensuing summer." The report of Mr. Grainger, the engineer, was next read. It stated that on the Clifton contract, extending to four miles and a half, there were five road and two water bridges, all of which had been completed except one water bridge, which was in progress. Nearly half a mile of the double line of the permanent way was finished, and about the same distance of the single line. Of the whole works on this contract, about one-fourth was completed. On the Houston contract, which was two miles and a half in length, two of the bridges were completed, and the other one was in progress ; while in regard to the works as a whole, they may be said to be half finished. On the Bathgate contract, extending to three miles and' three-quarters, all the road bridges had been completed, while in regard to the other works they might be said to be about two-thirds finished. On the Uphall contract, extending to about two miles, one, road bridge, one water bridge, and two out of three cul verts were completed, but nothing was done to the per manent way. The works on the Whitburn branch had been marked out, and were ready for being commenced. Of rails for the permanent way, 1,261 tons had been de livered, in addition to 536 tons of chairs and 27,291 sleepers, part of which were already laid. An abstract of the state of the accounts up to the 31st July last was then read. The receipts, which amounted to 94,5431. 6s. 11d., included 25,0004 for deposit; for three calls, 53,920/4 for payment in advance of calls, 13,4704; and for interest, 2,106/. To this sum of 94,5431. there fell to be added 21,0804 of arrears on the second and third calls. The expenditure to the 31st July amounted to 84,999/., leaving a balance in hand of 9,5421. The expenditure included 9,0731. for Parliamen tary expenses, 4,421/. for engineering expenses, 23,6331. for land and compensation, 27,1414 for works, and 13,616/. for rails, chairs, and sleepers. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to move the adoption of the report, said it contained all that was necessary for him to say in regard to the undertaking. After some conversation, the motion was unanimously carried. GLASGOW AND GREENOCK. The half•yearly meeting of the shareholders of this railway was held on Friday last, the 15th inst., in the Sheriff's Hall, Greenock, Mr. James Tasker, deputy chairman, in the chair. The meeting was an unusually numerous one. The secretary read the report of the directors, con taining the usual statement of accounts for the half-year ending the 31st of July last, showing a net balance of 14,5731. 6s. 7d., at the credit of the revenue account. After providing for preference shares, the directors re commended a dividend of ss. per share on the 251. shares and 2s. Gd. per share on the 121. 10s. shares (21. per annum), to be payable on the 29th current. After al luding to the dullness of trade, on account of which the revenue had been lessened, the report of the directors concluded as follows : " The committee appointed at last meeting to watch over the interests of this company any questions which might arise with th e Caledonian Railway Company, agreed to a mat er i a l c h ange i n the terms regulating the amalgamation of the two companies, which has been confirmed The e e sh b a y the reiw directors. shareholders will ll remember that by the Act of amalgamation it was decl are d opt i onal to the Caledonian Company, within five years, to put an end to the gua rantee of 4 per cent. on the ordinary stock of this com pany, and to incorporate it with the stock of the Cale donian. That option the Caledonian Company h a r e renounced the right to exercise, wherebyny th e guarantee of 4 per cent. ha s b ecome abso lute, and in lieu of the right of the shareholders of this company to participate in the profits of the amalgamated companies, the shareholders of both companies are mu tually to participate in the profits to be derived from this line exceeding 4 per cent." Mr. TASKER, the deputy-chairman (in the absence of Captain Houston Stewart, the chairman, who had been called to Ireland on official business), moved the an. provai of the report in a lengthened speech. He attri buted the falling off in the revenue to the dulness of the times, especially in the conveyance of passengers. So s G o however, r o e n e , nnck wna would s b t a h e made the Clydesdale depot oJtu of Junction t theio w n greata s mineral products of the West of Scotland. A long discussion followed as to the amalgamation with the Caledonian Railway, and the period when the guarantee offered by it of 4 per cent. would begin; in reply to which it was stated by the chairman and secre tary, that so soon as the transference of their capital and property to the Caledonian, under their deeds of agreement, had been ratified, according to the Act of Parliament, that then the amalgamation and guarantee would commence. _ _ _ • A very kindly feeling to and desire of co-operation with the directors of the Caledonian was expressed by the meeting. Another long discussion then followed as to the construction of a great mineral depot in connexion with the harbour, but the line for which had been op posed by the town council of Greenock and the feuars of the locality. A. committee of the shareholders was appointed to confer with Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, the proprietor, with the feuars, and with the town council, for the ob taining of this mineral line and depot, which was said to be absolutely essential to the prosperity of Greenock as a seaport. . The report was agreed to. In reply to a question from Mr. BLAIR, The CUAIRMAN stated that when the line was trans ferred to the Caledonian Railway Company he could not say but Sabbath trains would be run. There was no guarantee that Sabbath trains would not be run. Adjourned. SHROPSHIRE UNION AND CANAL. The fourth half-yearly meeting of the company was held on Thursday, at Shrewsbury; the Earl of Powis in the chair. The report stated that the works from Shrewsbury to Stafford are progressing steadily, and the line will be ready for opening next spring. The whole of the land is in the possession of the company, and the purchases which had been completed were effected generally on fair terms. The Bill authorising the purchase of the Shropshire Canal had been withdrawn, and an agree ment had been entered into which carries out for a li mited period the terms originally agreed upon, and there was no doubt before the expiration of such term all dif ficulties with respect to the completion of the arrange ment will have been removed. The directors will not undertake any new work without the previous sanction of the proprietors. Arrangements are being made for working the canal traffic, in conjunction with the rail ways of the district, in a profitable manner. The en gineer's report stated that the works are proceeding satisfactorily ; that upwards of twenty-one miles out of 297 (the distance from Shrewsbury to Stafford), are ready for the permanent road, a portion of which is already completed. At present there were 3,300 men, 280 horses, and one locomo tive em p lo y ed on the works. The whole line from Shr ewsbur y to Stafford will be ready for opening early in the ensuing spring for pas sengers and merchandize. The capital account to the 30th of June showed that 603,0731. had been received, and 381,491/. expended, and 5411. advanced to the canal department, leaving a balance of 221,0411, in hand. The number of passengers, according to the return recently published, who have travelled by railway (luring the half-year ending on the 30th of June last, amounted to 26,330,492—which is just about the population of England, Scotland, and Ireland—and some idea maybe formed of the tide of human beings who have passed over the country, as Mr. Locke says, "by means of two parallel pieces of iron," when we reflect that the official numbers actually represent the transmission of every map, woman, and child, in the United Kingdom, a certain distance, within the short period of six months, at a speed previously unattain able, and with a reduction of danger, considering the mass of human beings thus transferred, almost infinitesimal. Archimedes is recorded to have said, if he had standing ground he could move the globe, and though our modern engi neers have not exactly attempted to work out that problem, they have satisfactorily solved another, which a few short years since would almost have been thought as visionary. The number of accidents figure as 189 ; 90 resulted in death, And 99 in injuries, more or less severe. Of passengers, six unfortunately were killed and 60 hurt from no fault of their own—a wonderfully small proportion when we consider the enormous aggregate who now use this mode of locomotion; the remainder of the casualties is made up from accidents to railway ser vants, labourers on the lines in construction, and per sons who have taken this novel mode of committing suicide, by precipitating themselves from trains or into their way, but who, in fact, have as much to do with the safety of railway travelling as a man blow ing out his brains has to do with the safety of fire arms. Of the accidents to those regularly employed by the companies, a large proportion seems to have have arisen from the carelessness of the men them- selves, and we have no data as to the per-tentage, nor of the labourers ; but, w hen the nature of their work is taken into account, we are surprised that there have not been more deaths ; and we have little doubt that many other employments would give a much higher rate of mortality and mutilation than railways, and it must also be recollected that when finished a great cause of damage is at once cut off, which just now, whilst so many are employed on the lines in construction, must largely increase the average. We make these remarks without any wish for concealment of the number of accidents, and merely to call public attention to the real state of a question all are interested in ; we urge no relaxa tion of any precaution that can tend to preserve life and limb, but when railways and their directors are held up as a sort of public executioners, it becomes our duty to place the matter in its true light, and we boldly assert that the statement from which our figures are taken is a wonderful evidence of the com parative safety with which one million of people shift from town to town and from village to village every week, or to bring the numbers to lower denomina tions, a host of 144,000 souls.is daily on the move. —Railway Chronicle. [A.DVERTISENIENT.I—Cured by Holloway's Oint ment and Pills, wounds in a leg, after more than three years suffering.—The wife of Mr. James Springle, schoolmaster of the town of St. Patrick, Grenada, had been suffering with an ulcerated leg for more than three years, which was so bad that it baffled the skill of the professional practitioners in the island who could not possibly heal it, after every other remedy had failed, Holloway's Ointment and Pills were resorted to, and by their powerful efficacy the wounds were soon healed, and a perfectly sound cure effected.

To-day his Lordship will go over to Preston, where he is to preach to-morrow, in the parish church.

PAROCHIAL ACCOUNTS.—By an Act of Parliament passed on 31st last month , if overseers of poor sh a ll lawfully, by virtue of their office, contract any debt on account of the parish, within three months prior to the termination of their year of office, and the sa me s h a ll not have been discharged by them before their year of office shall have determined, such debt is to be payable by an d recoverable from their immediate successors, and charge able upon the poor-rate of the parish. And if such debt shall have been contracted more than three months prior to the termination of their year of office, the amount is to be payable by and recoverable from their immediate successors in office, if the rate•payers in vestry assembled, and the poor-law commissioners, shall consent. Solicitors having bills against parish officers need not now pre sent their accounts against the parish until the business is completed, but if not presented within a year after the termination of the business, the parochial funds are not to be made liable to ft. This Act also contains useful provisions as to balance in the hands of outgoing overseers, &c.; and the powers of auditors are restricted and defined.

The following are accounts of the progress of the ex pedition of Captain Sir James Ross, in search of Sir .John Franklin and his companions, in the Erebus an ,4 Terror:— An American whaler, that had called at Lievely Dis covert' Island, July 2, brought home the information. ten days since, that Sir James Ross, in the Enterprise. and Captain Bird, in the Investigator, had passed Lievely. The expedition reached Whale Island, Davis', Straits, lat. 69 N., June 22, and sailed thence June 29; and at Lievely Sir James Ross put his dispatches on board a Danish ship lying there. The expedition was in good health and spirits; but nothing had been heard of the gallant fellows of whom they aro in quest. The dispatches of Sir James Ross reached the Admiralty yesterday. " Whale Fish Islands, June 29, 1848. " I will now give you a short notice of our proceedings since I left you. We got through the Pentland Forth on the night of the 19th of May, and then carried a fair wind for Cape Farewell till the end of the month, when we got light breezes from the west, which detained us for some time. " On the 7th of June, in the afternoon, we fell in with the first stream ice, and we passed through the last on the I2th. This, lam given to understand, is a strange place to meet stream ice. We were then clear until we came within two days' sail of this place, when we fell in with some magnificent bergs, :upwards of 200 feet in height, and bulky in proportion. We fired a 24-pound shot into one of them, which, of course, produced no effect. " We sail to-morrow for Melville Bay, and from thence to Lancaster Sound, if we can get through. " I suppose there unever were happier ships' crews than ours. Sir James Ross does everything he pos• sibly can to make everything comfortable for man and officer. " Whilst here we have formed some pleasant shooting parties. I have just returned with one, nearly knocked up, having been out from nine, i M., until five A.m. I may mention, however, my consolation in having bagged two dozen fine ducks. " I hope to shake hands with you in the course of eighteen, months. Send to me in the spring, as I believe there will be a chance, if we do not return this season." The following particulars of the daily progress of the expedition commence from our last notice of it. The details will not be uninteresting to the general reader:— " Her Majesty's ship Enterprise, Whale Island, Davis's Straits, lat. 69 N., June 29. " No news of Franklin yet. I wrote in haste, for wt are on the point of weighing anchor for the northward. We are all well and hearty. I have sent you a journal of our proceedings from first making the ice up to this day. I shall, perhaps, have another opportunity of writ• ing by a Greenlandman. This will go by a Danish ship ❑ow lying at Lievely. " Wednesday, 7.—Twenty-seven days from Green hithe; one P.M., ice observed from the mast-head, rather extraordinary to meet with it so far to the southward, Cape Farewell bearing N.W. by W., 160 miles; seven P.M., fell in with a considerable body of drift ice, bore away on purpose to clear it; thermometer 43. Investi gator in company. " Thursday, B. Wind from the northward, reaching to the westward; three P.M., tacked in order to weather a stream of ice; five P .M., made a passage through it.

ESCAPE AND CAPTURE OF A NOTORIOUS PRISONER FROM NEWPORT GAOL. About two months since a young man of fashionable exterior and manners visited the Isle of Wight. His prepossessing demeanour and amusing conversation gave him a welcome entree to society. He represented him self as the nephew of a Southampton banker, and proved his connexion with various distinguished provincial families. Our narrative will show that his relatives had discarded him before his arrival in the Isle of Wight, where he had not long been before he resumed his former practices of levying contributions on inn and hotel keepers. In consequence he was apprehended, taken before the magistrates, and committed to Newport gaol, to be tried for obtaining money under folse pre pretences. On the night of the 30th of August last he escaped from prison in the following manner:—He feigned illness, and deceiving the surgeon by assumed symptoms, he was transferred to the prison infirmary, all the officers of which thought him in reality very unwell. Not so, however, Mr. Allen, the governor of the prison, who warned the turnkey, Webb, in whose charge Alexander Ford, the prisoner, was, that the latter was reigning indisposition for the purpose of effecting his escape. As the hour of locking up for the night ap proached, Ford always entreated the turnkey, Webb, to allow him as much law as possible before his cell-door was finally locked fur the night, pleading weakness and inability to arrange his cell with the speed of the other prisoners. On the evening of the 30th ult., Ford retired to his cell, and having arranged his bed in such a manner that any one, not minutely examining it, would suppose him in it from the appearance it exhibited of head, body, and legs beneath the clothes, he concealed himself in an adjoining, unoccupied cell. At a late hour he com menced his operations for evasion, getting through an unbarred window, then climbing on to the top of a wall, and dropping from it, a depth of 18 feet, into the garden of Mr. Mue, the brewer. He then got over several fences, waded through a deep brook, and finally reached the town. He hastened into the Pig and Carrot public house, as it was about to close, and, detailing with great jocularity to the landlord the minutia of a glorious spree he had just had with several companions whom he had left behind, and during which he had got a ducking and lost his hat, he bought a cap from the landlord, and even tually borrowed from him on a promise of large pay ment, a horse and gig to convey him to Ryde. Arrived there he met with a policeman on duty on the pier, and representing to him that he had urgent business in Lon don in the morning, and wanted to be in Southampton in time for the first train, the constable (Ford givinc , him some silver) procured a boat and two watermen, who, for IL, safely landed the runaway at Southampton. Isle of Wight boatmen frequently, when no steamer is running between the Isle and Southampton, convey persons pressed for time across. Ford arrived in London the morning of his escape by an early South-Western train. On the turnkey Webb visiting Ford's late cell at the usual hour, be found his gaol bird flown. The fact he communicated to the governor, Mr. Allen, who promptly sent for Mr. Campbell, superintendent of the county police. Measures of pursuit and detection were instantly adopted, and Ford was traced to the Waterloo Bridge road station, but there for a time all scent of him was lost. Mr. Allen caused the following hand-bill to be printed and circulated:— _ "ESCAPED.—On the night of the 30th August inst., from the gaol at Newport, Alexander Ford (committed for trial at the next adjourned quarter sessions, charged with obtaining money under false pretences from several persons); describes himself as a medical student, but about four years since carried on the business of a che mist at Swansea. He is between 20 and 30 years of age, of a superior education, of very prepossessing manners and address, about five feet eight inches in height, of rather slender make. When he escaped he had a good head of hair, (dark) and looked very delicate, with much hair on his chin and upper lip, apparently not to have been shaved for a considerable time, but no whiskers; was dressed in a dark biown coat, black trousers, low shoes, white socks, black satin cravat, and white calico shirt; is believed to be the same person as Benjamin Alexander Ford, convicted at the Central Criminal Court, on the 17th August, 1840, of uttering a forged order, and removed from Millbank prison on the 26th of January, 1847, to the Warrior hulk at Woolwich. While in prison he has been visited by two fashionably dressed females." 1 4 .4 LAST Zimi" E IN WHIT—E d , - j" — \ C • EL. • - Yesterday, an inquest was held at th London Hospital, on the bodi es o f S amue l Taylor fit;-aged thirteen, and Priscilla Pitt, aged nine, w consequence of injuries received at the disas -F-;-..t.-:=Z,/ in Whitechapel on Saturday, th e particulars tif,Which were-published-in-yesterday's Sun. James Morris, belonging to the fiftlr.compa4-&:' the second battalion of the Grenadier Guards, laid' that on -Sattrdayl morning last, between two and three o'clock, whilst passing through Whitechapel, he saw smoke issuing from the premises of Mr. Watkinson. He immediately raised an alarm, and then attempted to break open the shop door. He saw some parties standing at the first floor windoW ; he called to them to jump out, but they refused at that time.- He, h9wever, had one child handed down to him, which he conveyed to a house opposite, and from thence it was removed in a cab to the - hospital. It was very much burned over the legs and feet. He went back and tried to get into the house for the purpose of saving the boy, but could not, on account of the fire raging so furiously. He next assisted to get the mother out of the window. When he first noticed the smoke no one appeared to be stirring in the house. This witness, from the testimony of the other'par ties, appeared to have rendered the most essential service in saving those persons who escaped; and se veral of the jury recommended the coroner to write to Colonel Astell, the head of the battalion to which the witness belonged, requesting him to overlook the witness's dereliction of duty in not being in barracks on the night of Friday, on account of his meritorious conduct at the fire. ;Mr. Wetkinson said that the premises No, 45, Whitechapel-road, were in his occupation. On Fri day night he was awoke whilst asleep in bed by a knocking at the street door. He got up, heard glass cracking, and found the room filled with smoke. He immediately shook the deceased boy, who was sleep ing in the same bed, and told him to escape out of window, as the place was on fire. This he considered he had done, He then ran up stairs to Mr. Pitt, who, with his wife and family, were sleeping on the second floor, and told them th a t th e h ouse was on f i re, and ordered them to get out es quickly as possible. He next took up a little boy and ran down stairs with him to the first floor, and handed 'him out of window. The father of the children had previously got out of window, and witness considered that he had taken the deceased boy with him, as he had to pass through the room in which he was. The mother having come down to the same window with the de ceased girl at her side, she fainted at the window. He, however, at length succeeded in pulling her out of the window, but she fell upon the pavement below. The furniture and clothes were insured by witness for 501. He turned the gas off from the main at half-past eleven o'clock on Friday night, and went to bed at twelve, perfectly sober. By Mr. George Brace, solicitor to the Legal and Commercial Fire-office—The stock in trade was insured for 2501., and the fixtur2s for 50/. more. He had never been apprenticed to Mr. Pitt. He was not aware that Mr. Pitt had premises in other parts of the country. He knew that he had had a fire in Lambeth, and then he was insured in the West of England Fire office. He claimed a sum which was disputed by the company, and he was paid considerably less than he charged. He was also aware that Mr. Pitt had had a fire in Tooley-street, but was not then insured. He also knew that he had been in business at Norwich, but had failed there. Witness did not think there was anything in the place likely to ignite sponta neously. The premises were to let six months ago. The house surgeon having described the nature of the injuries the deceased had received which were the cause of death, the jury returned a verdict, "That the deceased died from the effects of burns, but how the fire occurred there was no evidence to prove." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Admiralty inspection of this port having terminated, the " last of the Lords " left this day for town. The Undine steam-packet, Lieut.-Commander Jones, is ordered to sail immediately for Weymouth, to attend upon the Admiralty on their arrival there. The Driver steam-sloop, Commander Johnson, is or dered to be ready to sail for Ireland at three PM. to morrow; 100 extra marines are coming from Woolwich for embarkation in her. They travel express on the South Coast Railway, and _will arrive at one P.M. to morrow. The Myrtle steam-vessel, Acting-Master Balliston commanding, sailed today with Captain Sherringham, to prosecute his survey of the south coast. Wind north, light airs and hazy weather. SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON. CoRK, SEPT. 15.—The squadron under Sir C. Na pier—St. Vincent, Prince Regent, Bellerophon, Blen heim, Amphion, Helena, Stromboli, Reynard, and Rifleman—are still lying here waiting weather to start for Plymouth. Yesterday the Blenheim went out on a trial of the auxiliary screw, which was highly satisfac tory, steaming six knots with full power, and four knots with half power. WooLwrcu, SEPT. 18.—The Pigmy steam-vessel, Lieutenant Abraham Darby commander, arrived at Wool wich to-day, and immediately commenced coaling; she is to be kept in readiness to embark the detachment of Royal Marines of the Woolwi -.11 division selected yester day to proceed to Ireland, who are now to remain until further orders. Lieutenant Robertson, assistant to Captain Austin, C. 8., who took round the Plumper steam-vessel to Ports mouth, End made the experimental trials in that vessel before the Lords of the Admiralty at that port, has re turned to Woolwich by railtvay, and brought round the crew who assisted in navigating the vessel to Portsmouth by the same conveyance. ARRIVAL OF ONE OF THE ROYAL SQUADRON AT LEITH.—On Tuesday the Vivid, one of the steamers belonging to the royal squadron, arrived at Leith from Aberdeen, with some gentlemen attached to the royal p , irty on a visit to Edinburgh. This steamer, considered one of the swiftest in the service, made the voyage from Aberdeen to Leith in five hours and twenty minutes. She is one of the Dover packets, and is built of ma hogany on the diagonal principle from the same lines as the Banshee, and is fitted with two of Penn's oscillating engines of 90 horse power each. Since her arrival a great many have visited her, attracted -by her beautiful appearance. She leaves at the end of the week, and returns, we believe, on Monday with the officers of the royal yacht-7- Witness. He then communicated with the London police com missioners, soliciting their aid to recapture Ford. They granted it, and issued the necessary orders to the officers of the metropolitan force, and on the 3d inst., Inspector Tedman was so close upon Ford's heels that he was on the point of capturing him three different times in so many successive hours. The clue was broken again, and in consequence a more minute description of Ford was given, and circulated amongst the metropolitan and City police, stating that he continually changed his dress and address, and giving the directions of several respectable gentlemen on whom he was likely to call, who were his relations, and also mentioning that he was born at Bris tol, had resided at Bath, hnd several shops as a chemist, and was educated at King's College, London. Notwith standing no tidings were heard of him until Tuesday at noon, when Mr. Tedman discovered that he had been seen at Derby, and had him telegraphed to Hull, where the detective force instituted a most diligent search for him, but so altered was he in dress and aps pearance that he eluded their vigilance. However, Mr. Tedman was so confident of the whereabouts of his man, is pursuit of whom he had been since the 6th of July on another count—viz., for uttering a forged bill of ex change on Mr. Revell, of 272, Oxford-street, that he again telegraphed him to Hull, describing his route, and the port Ford intended to go to. This was done at six o'clock on the 6th inst. the time mentioned, that the vessel was to sail; still no tidings could be had of Ford. At half-past seven another telegraph message was sent down, which was answered by Mr. M'Manus, high con stable of Hull, that they had succeeded in apprehending a young man, who said his name was Montagu Clifford, stoutly denied that his name was Ford, but acknowledged that he knew a young man of that name, who, he said, was a great rascal, and in pursuit of whom the police were. Mr. Tedman instantly telegraphed to Mr. M'Manus that " Montagu Clifford" was the gentleman they wanted, and requested that he should be detained in custody. He was taken before the Hull magistrates, and maintained that Tedman was totally mistaken in his identity—that he, the prisoner, was a gentleman by birth and education. Whilst thus pleading, he became the subject of another charge, that of uttering a forged cheque at Messrs. Smith and Co.'s, bankers, at and at the very time Tedman was telegraphing him from London to Hull, a gentleman from Messrs. Smiths' bank was telegraphing him to London. On Thursday, the 7th inst., Mr. Tedman arrived at Hull, and on th e fol lowing ay Ford, being brought before Mr. Blyth, one of the Hull magistrates, he was identified by the London police inspector, and delivered over to him. On their return to London, Ford, at two of the stations where they stopped for refreshment, was recognised by two landlords whom he had victimized in his journey down. On Saturday, the 9th, Inspector Tedman with his pri soner arrived at Newport, and the magistrates being then sitting, Ford was taken before them, and recom mitted. The magistrates, of whom the Rev. Walton Wright was chairman, paid Inspector Tedman a high and deserved compliment for his activity, ability, and perseverance in re-capturing so clever a fugitive as Ford. It was described in the Police Gazette that two females called upon Ford while in prison, and it was supposed that they were implicated in aiding him to escape, but from inquiry made by Inspector Tedman, it appears that _ Ford met them on board a steamer at Portsmouth, and represented himself as holding a responsible situation at Osborne House, and that he was nephew to the banker already alluded to, and that he should be able to show them all the curiosities of the island. He so imposed upon them that they believed him, as many others had done, but Tedman is of opinion that they had not the least guilty knowledge of Ford's escape. One of them is personally known to Tedman, and is highly respect able. Ford, although only 27 years of age, was con victed at the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to be transported for seven years, in August, 1846. Great interest was used to mitigate the punishment, and he was pardoned. Ford has made numerous escapes from sheriffs' officers and others, and, though so young, has perpetrated more offences of this character, and effected more escapes, than any delinquent of his day. .11r. Tedman describes the gaol of Newport as a model of cleanliness, and eulogises the governor and his wife for their exemplary treatment of their prisoners, and for their general conduct, but reports the prison as exceed ingly insecure. A GOOD FISHING.—We are glad, amid the gloom of Peterhead, to he able to chronicle at least one in stance of success and good fortune, which we give on the authority of a respected fish-curer of our own town, who knows and can vouch for the circumstances. He mentions that one of the - boats 'froth. 13uckie, fishing at Peterhead, having a crew of five or six men, captured, between the 14th of July and the end of August, 421 crans of herrings, a quantity almost unprecedented, yielding to the fortunate owner of the boat no less a sum than 2251. Bs., besides the usual perq uisites, which we believe will amount to 10/. more. This is certainly a magnificent fishing, which will leave a pretty surplus to the skipper, even atter paying the wages of his CfCW ; and this shows what could be done if the fishing was properly prosecuted, with good boats, and proper tackle. _Montrose Standard.

C RONER'S IN QUEST .—O n Saturday a long in -1 quiry took place before Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East,Surrey, at the Cavendish Arms Tavern, Cavendish road, Wandsworth-road, on the body of a male child, which was found dead under very extraordinary circum stances. Mr. Richard Vine stated that he was formerly a chemist, but now resided at No. 1, Cavendish-house, Cavendish-road. On Tuesday evening last, his wife called his attention to some appearances,on,the floor which were like blood. He called to Mr. Neal, the landlord, and asked Jane Stevens, who was in his (witness's) service, if she knew what they were, but she denied all know ledge of them. She appeared pale, but was standing up, and he asked her if she had been delivered of a child, and she said she had not. He afterwards saw fresh marks on a pail, and in another the body of a male child, but Stevens, who was there, said nothing about it. Mr. Jones, a surgeon, was then sent for. His wife had asked her a week before if she was in the family way, but she positively said " No." Mr. J. Jones, of 1, Seymour-place, Wandsworth-road, surgeon, said he was called in on Tuesday morning, and examined both the mother and the child, but the child was quite dead. He had no doubt the mother had re cently been delivered of a child, and at last she admitted the one found was hers. Soon afterwards he made a closer examination of the body of the infant, and found marks of violence on the chin, and along the right cheek, which had apparently been inflicted with some sharp in strument, but they were superficial, and had nothing to do with the death. Upon opening the body the lungs were fully inflated, and floated in water, so that he had no doubt the child had respired. In answer to questions put by the Coroner, Mr. Jones said he could not tell positively whether the respiration had taken place after birth. The jury then, after some deliberation, returned a verdict, "That the child was found dead, but the jury had no positive evidence to show that it was born alive." The mother was in custody, and will now be taken before the magistrates on the charge of concealment of the birth. Ma. F. O'CONNOR IN NOTTINGHAM.—NOTTING iIItMONDAY.—Thii afternoon a l arge meeting was held in the market-place of this , town, call e d for the pur pose of hearing from Mr. 0 Connor an account of his stewardship during the late session, and for the purpose of " re-:-lecting him as their representative." Mr. San ders having been called to the . chair, M r . O' Connor pre sented himself, and was loudly cheered. Ile was there to day to discharge a most sacred duty—namely, et the dose of the session to surrender his trust into the hands of the electors rind non - electors ; and, after giving an ac count of his stewardship, to ask a renewal of their con fidence. Thus, he carrivil into effect the main point of the Charter—annual Parliaments and universal suffrage. It was almost boyoni the power of man to describe the iniquity transacted during the late session. Whilst the six points of the Charter had been repudiated, five gag ging Bills had been passed, every one of which he had opposed in every stage, and almost alone. Those Bills had been passed chiefly to catch him (Mr. O'Connor); but the " old fox" was not caught yet. At the time those Bills were under discus3ion, he said that the suppression of public meetings would have the effect of creating secret associations; and such had been the case.—(l lear„ hear.)
