A R R I A G E. M One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questioaably contented. Diffidence, or a sense "of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un ,:ornprosine hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice deneatad that health should form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or 4eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hiadcred oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but tor the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price le. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " Ilow to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfirtunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously eutertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MEitT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

TO THE BENEVOLENT. The case of MRS. CAROLINE WELLITON, which appeared in " The Sun" of Saturday, the 12th instant, under the head of " Marl borough-street Police-office," is earnestly recommended to the 'notice of those whom Providence has blessed with the means and disposi tion to assist one who is deprived of a home and every earthly com fort belonging thereto, by the base conduct of her husband. The Magistrate (Mr. Bingham) who heard the case, said, " Ile thought if her case were made public, some benevolent individuals might come forward and assist her. He would give her a sovereign from the poor-box for a beginning." This appeal is accordingly made on her behalf to enable her to pur chase materials for her business, viz. :—the making of cloaks and many other useful and ornamental articles of the most beautiful va rieties, knitted in Berlin wool, that by her great skill, well-known ability, and perseverance, she may be raised from the distressing condition in which she is placed. and be henceforth enabled, under God's blessing, to maintain herself in that sphere of respectability to which her worth and talents entitle her to aspire to. The following Ladies and Gentleman have kindly consented to re ceive contributions on her behalf: Mrs. S. Ilayler, No. 22, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. Mrs. Montgomery, No. 2, Upper Ebury-street, Pimlico. Mrs. Gravel', No. 3, Charles-street, Berkeley-square.

The great regatta at Isleworth, which has for some time past engrossed the attention of aquatic gentlemon, amateurs and others, took place on Monday, under a committee of the most influential residents of the place, who had prepared so sumptuous a bill of fare, that, but for the extremely unfavourable state of the wea ther, must have rendered the meeting superior to any that have taken place near the metropolis, ex cept only the Thames Grand Regatta. It unfortu nately, however, poured with rain nearly the whole of the day; notwithstanding which the Duchess Dowager, the Duchess of Northumberland, and a select party, wit nessed the race from Sion Pavilion. There was a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen on board the Vivid steamer and a state barge of Captain Styles's, lately be longing to the Goldsmith's Company, and many hundreds availed themselves of the shelter of the trees to view the rowing from the towing-path. There were twelve races on the card, affording considerable variety of sport, and the arrangements throughout were admirable. Isleworth Watermen Double-scullers' Match for a Purse of Sovereigns.

By the arrival of the royal mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Neil Shannon, in the Mersey, yesterday afternoon, we have received our usual files of papers from the United States and Mexico. The Hibernia left New York on the 2d, and Halifax on the sth instant. She brings the usual mails, and forty passengers, and has about 5,0001. specie on freight. The America, which sailed from Liverpool on the 22d ult., reached Halifax on the 2d instant. - -- - In Congress the atte m pt t o pass a sort of Com promise Bill for the government of the new territo ries has been defeated, the House of Representatives refusing even to entertain or discuss the Bill which had passed the Senate, and of which the tendency was to permit the establishment of slavery in New Mexico and California. It seems pretty well settled now that no Bill looking to such a result can obtain the assent of the House of Representatives. General Taylor's acceptance of the Whig nomina tion to the Presidency has at length appeared. The only other news of political interest is the statement now received in an authentic shape of a battle, or rather succession of skirmishes near Gua najato in Mexico, between Bustamente commanding the Government forces, and Paredes with Jarante at the head of the revolters. The victory is claimed for both sides, but neither appear to have done ranch in the way of fighting. The dates from the city of Mexico are to the 14th ult., where the Government of Herrera seemed to be pursuing its course without interruption or dis turbance. The American troops have now all left Mexico, and that country is again delivered up to its own laws and rulers. Among other effects of this is the re-enactment of the old Mexican tariff. Dulness pervades all branches of trade and com merce. The sales of cotton and woollen goods for the autumn trade had commenced at New York, but we cannot congratulate our English friends on the prospect of high prices. Loud complaints, says a New York paper, reach us from the American manufacturing districts. Cotton and woollen manufactories, as well as iron works, are stopping work in every direction in consequence of the ruinous competition of the English. These dis asters, acting upon the public mind, bid fair to pro duce important changes in our rates of duty on Euro pean manufactures. The state of the commercial and money market is not improved since the advices by the preceding steamer. The news by the Europa, with dates to the 14th ult., produced little or no alteration in the American markets, except for cotton, which has advanced some what, as is stated below. Money continues to be in great demand here, although business is ♦ery dull. The stocks of the United States, and of the States, feel the effect of this pressure. Treasury Notes bearing six per cent. in terest, were down to-day at 1021, and United States Sixes of '67 at 103. In fancy stocks there is little or no speculation. The State of Pennsylvania commences paying her in terest to-day—not all, we grieve to say, in cash—but a portion of it in relief notes, which are at a dis count—an unworthy expedient, certainly, for a great and rich State. Congress would adjourn on the 14th August. COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, Atro. 1. Cotton.--The news, per ,United States and Europa, has caused an advance of about half a cent per pound in this market, and we must now quote middlings at 6/ to 7/ cents for all growths, and fair 71 to 7/ for Uplands, and Bto $1 for Orleans. Stock in this port between 55,000 and 60,000 bales. Sales of the last few days average about 1,200 per day, chiefly for England. Not much offering for sale. Freight to Liverpool *th to 5-32nds of a penny per lb. The prospects for an abundant crop continues about as good as ever. Some complaints are made of rains here and there, but they seem very local, though there has been more rain in the New Orleans districts than in the Atlantic States. The maximum effect probably is merely retarding the appear ance of the first hundred bales of new cotton some four or five days. Flour, Ecc.—ln, consequence of a demand for the English market during the last few days, and light re ceipts, a slight improvement has taken place in the com mon brands of Western Canal flour. The sales reach 4,000 to 5,000 barrels per day. Common New York 4 dolls. 76c. to 4 dolls. 1 lie.; Western Canal, 4 dolls. 87,ic. to 5c.; pure Genesee, 6 dolls. 25c.; common southern kinds, 5 dolls. 76c. to 6 dolls.; for old and new rye flour, 3 dolls. 59c. to 3 dolls. 62/c.

Whisky continues in request, 110 bbls. of Western sold at 221 cts. Drudge casks are hold at 23. The transactions in Exchange for this steamer were limited and at declining prices. Bills on London, 60 days, may be quoted at from 9 to Of, and at the latter figure difficult of sale. The difficulty of disposing of U. S. Six per Cents. in any large amount, in the home market, will probably lead to a considerable remittance o f th em abroad to try the Evropean market.

PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 2. Several very important events have' occurred since the sailing of the Boston and Liverpool steamer of the 26th ult. On the 27th the " Compromise," or Now Territory Bill, which involved the princi ple of the Wilmot proviso, and of slavery or n o slavery in the new states and territories, and which left the choice of slavery or no slavery to the inhabitants, by vote, of such states or territories, was, after a very long debate, carried in the Senate by 33 yeas to 22 nay s . On Friday the same Bill was brought forward in the house of Representatives, where, almost without debate, it was laid on the table, by 112 yeas to 97 nays. A motion was then made to reconsider the abo ve vote, but this motion was laid on the table, was 114, nays 96. The senatorial vote was decidedly favourable to the introduction of slavery into new territories; but the vote of the House has completely killed the Bill for the pre sent session, while the vote against a reconsider a ti on of the question hr,s literally buried it in the tomb of th e capitol. Thus for another—and yet another —and per haps for many more sessions, will this important question agitate Congress and the country. The result thus far has given vigour and courage to the " Barnburner" (Mr. Van Buren's) division of the democratic party, w h ile it has greatly strengthened the views and policy of the northern or free states. And now wo have, for the first time, General Taylor's official or forraal acceptance of the Whig no m i nation, as a candidate :'or President of the United States. We have had two arrivals from Mexico. The first brought us ,accounts of the formal congratulations of the diplomatic corps to General Herrera, on his acces s i on to the Presid ency, and his reply in the following sp eec h : " Gentlernen—lt is very grateful for me to receiv e from the honourable representatives of friendly nations the expression of their good will for my government, and of their ar dent interest for the fate of the nation with the first mag istracy of which I am invested by the funda mental le .ws of the State. "I tru st that the wishes for the happiness of Mexico, which I have listened to with gratitude, may bo fulfilled. All good citizens are of accord as to the means of re pairing past calamities, and of improving the elements of prosperity winch the country contains within its bosom, and nri administration will spare no effort or sacrifice that - four prayers may be accomplished. " The goad understanding which exists between this republic a-id all other nations is one of the best features in its pre sent situation, and it will be cultivated with all care. Th e people of Mexico feel only sentiments of in terest f , )r the happiness of all their brother nations, and of justice and frankness towards all who live beneath the sky, These form the basis of their policy.

HER MAJESTY'S ANNUAL MARINE EXCURSION. — The report has been revived again that her Majesty and Prince Albert's marine excursion this year will extend to Scotland, and that, too, in the vicinity of the High lands, where the newly-acquired royal estate is situated. THE ALLEGED MURDER Or THREE CHILDREN IN GROSVENOR-PLAC E .—Yesterday Mr. Bedford, Coroner for Westminster, resumed at the Malpas Arms, Charles street, Grosvenor-square, the adjourned inquiry respect ing the deaths of Mary Elizabeth Dore, aged seven weeks, and Adolphus William Spry, aged 11 months. The first-named deceased was a sister of the child on whose body an inquest was held by the same coroner about a fortnight since, for whose death a verdict of wilful murder was returned against Mary Ann Dore and Mary Spry, the mother and grandmother, who kept a lodging-house in Lower Grosvenor-place. From what transpired at the former inquest as to the sudden deaths of the children, and the many reports since circulated tending to throw a suspicion as to the two deaths, the churchwardens were communicated with, and the bodies, which had been interred in the burial-ground of St. George's, at Bayswater, were exhumed, and instruc tions were given to have the stomachs analysed to ascer tain whether the children had died from the effects of poison or not. Mr. Rogers, the eminent analytical lec turer, and Mr. Bloxam, the surgeon, had made a most minute analysis of the two bodies, but nothing in the shape of poison could be detected in either. The latter gentleman proved that he attended the deceased for diarrhoea and convulsions. The jury without the least hesitation returned a verdict, that one child died from diarrhoea, and the other from convulsions. by or aHnoyl affection oway [ADVERTISEMENTJ — The Prevailing Epidemi c sP o il f ls t .— he Personsßowel s o u m ff p o l r a i i o n g t s f r m o a m y bowels, should have immediate recourse to Holloway's D b i e ar C r u h r c e e d a, Pills, as they are the safest and most certain remedy to obviate and remove the morbid and irritating causes of the disorder, by which means the impaired tone of the stomach becomes perfectly restored.

But no sooner had this been published than we re ceived a second mail, containing advises of a battle be tn•een Bustamente, at the head of the Government forces, and Paredes, commanding the insurgents. Pa redes is represented as having gained a complete vic tory, his loss being only 87 killed or wounded, while that of Bustamente exceeded 500! Thus it is probable that ere this there has been another revolution in Mexico, and that Parades is now in power. But there is a graver light in which this matter may be regarded. The in surrection of Paredes was based upon the ground of opposition to the treaty of peace with the United States, and it is thought that war may yet be rekindled, and indeed that Paredes might be actually pledged to resist the occupation by American troops to the territory ceded by the late treaty to the United States. The remaining news from Mexico is not very impor tant, except that the whites have at length gained several advantages over the Indians of Yucatan. The Custom house at Vera Cruz has been restored to the Mexicans, and most of the high roads of Mexico are infested with robbers and guerrilleros. Nearly all the United States troops have left Vera Cruz. The Indians had risen against the Government in several parts of Mexico. Most of the United States forces have been withdrawn from beyond the Rio Grande, and a few regiments are ordered to Santa Fe and California. The project of a new and independent " American " Republic, commencing at Tampico, and occupying the whole region of the Sierra Madre, is now more actively cherished than ever. It is to be established chiefly by private adventurers, in armed bands—and therefore we find in several New Orleans papers advertisements for " men to join in a buffalo hunt on the Rio Grande, to be armed and equipped, and the expedition to rendezvous at a given point in the fall, and there to be joined by Mexicans, natives of the country," &c. We hear by every arrival of further massacres by the negroes at Martinique ; also that negro insurrections, at tended with great destruction of life and property, have broken out in the islands of St. Bartholomew and St. Croix. The United States Senate has resolved to adjourn on the 14th inst. The Irish meetings continue to occupy much attention, and doubtless it will interest your readers to know some thing of public opinion on the subject on this side the Atlantic. At the meeting held at the Shakspeare Room, New York, immediately before the sailing of the last steamer, it will be remembered that Mr. O'Connor who had just returned from Canada, spoke of invading that province with 50,000 men, said that it must be invaded ; and that Mr. Mooney said that, "if the British Govern ment seized on a single American (Irish) citizen which they (the meetings) had sent over to aid Irel an d i n t h e present struggle, they would in turn seize upon the British Consul in New York. For the first man of theirs that they would assail in Ireland, they would here seize double the amount." As might naturally have been an ticipated, these expressions, which set all national and all American law at defiance, have evoked much censure from several American journals. The !Yew Yorh Herald of the 27th says : " As regards the invasion of Canada, it is all fudge— sheer nonsense—and intended, no doubt, to stir up the ire of the Irish here, and coax them out of their money." The Philadelphia Times remarks—" Our Government is, of course, notwithstanding its warm sympathies, tied up by the comity of nations to non-interference." The Philadelphia Sun, alluding to another, but to a kindred point, remarks:— "We perceive that the New York Irish Brigade' are getting up a subscription to present Meagher, the Irish agitator, with a splendid sword on his arrival in this country. If it is as keen as the irony conveyed in the gift it would: do tremendous execution— in good hands —upon the oppressors of Ireland. The Irish patriots, notwithstanding their ten years' bluster, have proved themselves ' the mildest mannered men that ever cut a throat.' We would recommend the committee to recon sider their proceedings, and welcome the great Irish rebel with a wooden fire-horn, or some other emblem which makes a great deal of noise, but never does any harm." The New Orleans Evening Mercury, alluding to the subjoined closing paragraph of the "Declaration of Irish Independence," recently read at a meeting by Mr. Mooney, is quite severe:— 6' Now, we, whose names are hereunto subscribed, vow before God and the nations to go forth, and, at the risk of our lives, shoot down the men who form this Govern ment, and those who assist them, either in detail or in gross, according as the Lord may deliver them into our hands." The Mercury then "comments editorially," and in the course of its remarks, says:-- "No man possessed of common sense, and who is a true and devoted friend to Ireland, would conceive or give expression to such a sentiment. It is calculated to excite the contempt of bravo men and the bitter loath ing of every generous lover of liberty. If adopted by the Irish associations of this country, it would bring their noble cause into disrepute, and array against them much of the patriotism and intelligence of the land. The sacred fire of liberty can never be kindled by the sword of au assassin." There was a " mass meeting" of the friends of Ireland held in Tammany .hall on the 26th inst., i n relation to the arrest of Messrs. Duffy, Martin, O'D o h er ty, Wil liams, and others, and to take measures to meet the crisis at hand for Ireland. This meeting , was called by Mr. Robert Emmett, the Chairman of the Association; but ho was not present. About 2,000 persons attended—all, or nearly all, Irish. Mr. Greeley was in the chair, and Messrs. Doyle, Lynch, White, I Robinson, Mooney, and Michael T. O'Connor were the speakers. Some of the speeches were violent en oug h ; but it will be observed, on perusing the published reports, that the invasion of Canada was not again introduced; neither was the British Consul again threatened. There was, however, some little diff erence o f op i n i on towards the close, in relation to the subscription, one of the speakers suggesting and half insisting that " Mr. T. O'Connor should put his name down for 5,000 dolls., or ever after hold his tongue—because he was very rich; and another gentleman was called on for 1,000 dolls. for is similar reason." This was resisted, and a kind of squabble ensued. A series of resolutions censuring the British Government were passed. A meeting on Irish union and fraternization was held in New York, on the 27th, Robert Emmett, chairman; and on the 28th there was also a meeting of the " New York American League for Ireland." One business meeting has likewise been held during the week in Philadelphia, but as there was a great resemblance in the speeches that were made at all these meetings, it is scarcly worth while to en cumber our columns with even condensed sketches or abstracts. CO URT CIRCULAR. The Queen and the Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince and Princess Hohenloho Langenburg, and the Princess Eliza or Hohenlohe Langenburg, and attended by the Viscountess Canning, Colonel the Hon.

THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' FANCY FAIR.--The fancy fair and fete in uid of the funds of the school of this society were commenced yesterday in the grounds of Cremorne House, Mr. Ellice, the proprietor of the grounds, having very liberally consented to give up his gardens if the weather would permit the fete to be holden. There was a numerous attendance of visitors, not less than 5,000 persons could have been present at 7 o'clock. At that hour there was a balloon ascent, conducted by Mr. Gale. In the early part of the day aquatic tourna ments were exhibited, and in the gardens a variety of amusements in addition to the usual attractions of the place were introduced. In one of the largo rooms Mr. Jones, the governor of the institution, the committee, and the gentlemen more immediately connected with the charity, were asssembled, and here the usual toasts were drunk with the honours, It wes,late before the ooropany broke up• [PRICE SD. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—l will take the opportunity to conclude the naval subject. For the last fifty years there has been a conti nual tendency to increase the size of the vessels used for the various purposes of war. Thus a frigate now, is of double the force of frigates fifty years ago, and a line-of battle ship greater by the half. Two reasons for it may be traced. One is, that if you were to build two ships of twenty guns, and your enemy one of forty, there would be several chances in favour of your enemy. If he fought your two ships both on the same side, you would be on equal terms, or twenty active guns against twenty. But if he posted himself between your two vessels, he would have forty guns in action against twenty of yours; and though his forty guns may not be so well manned as your twenty, still the advantage must be with him, especially at the commencement of the fight. And the same principle operates to a certain extent in cases where the difference is less marked, and produces a general feeling in favour of expending a given sum on a smaller number of larger vessels instead of a greater number of smaller. But there is another reason, dependent on the sailing qualities of vessels. I remember making out, five-and forty years ago, in the course of my studies, that what may be called the fixed element in the dimensions of ships with different tiers of guns, is the height of a man between decks. If men had been twice or half as tall as they are, the proportions of one, two, and three-decked ships would have been totally altered. Suppose then a perfect frigate, which is a vessel with only one complete gun-deck in a sailor's reckoning, though a landsman would unhesitatingly swear to the fact of there being two. For some reason or other, a sailor never counts what a landsman would call the uppermost deck, and a vessel which has got no deck but this, he calls " corvette-built." Perhaps the origin of this may be, that in the earlier war-vessels the uppermost deck was not intended for guns, but was merely of the nature of a stage to work the ship upon. Fancy then the possessors of a perfect frigate taken with the ambi tion to add another tier of guns, which will make what the sailors call a two-decker. But here it is plain that one of the dimensions concerned, namely the extreme height above the water, will be something like doubled. From which it would be a reasonable first inference, that the way to make the new vessel possess the sailing qualities of th e ot h er , wou ld b e t o give it something like double the dimensions in all ways. And though this from various causes is impracticable, there is left a strong determination towards the fact, that one way to provide for the increased height of the new vessel and the weight it is to carry at that height, will be to increase the principal dimensions, as notably the length and beam. And the same reasoning will hold when the ambition soars to a three-decker. Hence if the principle of adding to the fo rce o f s i ng l e s hi ps b y i ncreas i ng t h e tiers of guns is to be carried out, it implies increasing the dimensions in general, in order to preserve the sail ing qualities. In spite of the principle which admits the superiority of larger vessels, three-deckers do not appear to be a very popular class. Sir Walter Raleigh protested against the very idea of them. Ile says, " Two Decks and an half is enough, and no building at all above that, but a low Master s C a bbi n . Our Masters and Mariners will say, that the Ships will bear more well enough - and true it is, if none but ordinary Mariners served in them. But men of better sort, unused to such a life, cannot so well endure th e row li ng and tumbling from ; side to side, where the Seas aro never so little grown, which comes by high Charging.—Letter to Prince Henry, touching the Model of a Ship." And the charge against them at this day is, that they roll their lower deck guns under water, in weather where the two-deckers do not. An inference from this is, that they are not yet so large as they ought to be ; or at all events, that the largest are likely to be best. A large class three-decker now, (120 guns), is of exactly half as many more guns as made a three-decker when our oldest admiral was born. The sailors make no complaint of them as unwieldy ; on the contrary, some of them, as in the instance of the Queen Charlotte, have had the cha racter of being among "the best sea-boats in the nary." Still, from some cause or other, the three-deckers do not appear to have established in naval annals any superiority of name above the ships with two decks. Possibly it may be from having less frequent opportunities; which is the cause of a similar appearance in respect of the heavy and light cavalry of armies. Neither can it be collected from the history of naval combats, that any principle for the employment of three-deckers in action has been made out and acted on, beyond assigning to them the task of engaging the enemy's vessels of the same class. Steam, in the event of a naval war, is very likely to give a fillip to the calculation of all the possible moves upon the chess-board of the ocean. And now comes the point which you will say is of most immediate consequence to you and me; which is to try to throw some light on what may be reasonable or unreasonable in the way of naval expenditure in the time of peace. If we are met by the assertion that the best way would be to have no preparation at all, we must wait till that view of the case is satisfactorily established; but till then, we must attend to our own. And here there is a strong analogy, as to be expected, between what is sensible for the sea and for the land. The prin ciple on which the artillery was organized in Napoleon's Italian campaigns, was that every division of artillery present with the troops, had a second of equal force in the rear, and a third a day and a half's march further back. On extraordinary occasions the two first were supposed to join ; and the third was considered as a reserve in case of loss. A similar principle, though not restrained to numbers and proportions, seems applicable to fleets. Supposing the simple case of a precautionary fleet, after providing vessels for distant services, it is clear that there ought to be maintained a miniature model of what fleets should be ; for which five heavy ships with appurtenances (being nearly what is now in the British seas) would apparently be sufficient. These should have everything of the best; but be prepared, as far as pos sible, to turn over one watch of the crew to another ship if the service requires it, and fill up with new. But as long as there is a possibility of a naval alerte in Europe, it is clear that there should be the power of doubling these ships, almost by a a word. Ten ships of the line aro (as a great bookseller once said of twenty shillings, in his evidence before a com mittee of the House of Commons,) a certain sum, or pro duce a definite idea of importance, which is not so clearly conceded to Dine or eleven. But then again, L there should be the power of doubling, in a compare ! Lively short interval, which may undoubtedly be in some degree calculated upon the knowledge of what ships exist in other countries, but on which it is better to be on the right side. And considering the great interests ' at stake, no reasonable man would probably object, to there being ships in a state of forwardness for this pur pose ; thus pointing in the whole to 40 sail of the line. All beyond this, may be considered as defensible only on proof produced, that the state of naval preparations in other countries is such as to require it. Ship building and ship-keeping aro most ;expensive luxuries. You will be astonished to hear, that a ship of the line when built, cannot be kept in a band-box for more than fourteen years on an average; which makes us half through our third set of ships since the peace of 1814. It seems scarcely credible; but I find it stated in a pamphlet on the navy, backed by the declaration of the author, that ho is ready to allow to past Governments that their ships should only last eight years, and still prove the existence of inordinate expenditure. As an indirect evidence, what were known as the Fir Frigates, were contracted for, to last for seven. A question of parallel importance is how such succes• sive augmentations are to be manned. The great secret is, as in every thing else, to pay ; and to this, now that the idea of impressment is everywhere given up, it must clearly come. Some aids, however, might be contrived. Whatever is the law for the Militia, might be applied to the water-borne population under the title of Sea-Fenci bles; and when the one wont into camps and garrisons, the other would go into block-ships and floating batteries. The Coast Guard—which is a force to prevent smug gling—is recruited without difficulty under an engage ment to be disposable for home service in the navy in the event of invasion ; and by following out the same idea, it is probable a large proportion of the coasting seamen, for a small bounty or pay, would voluntarily enrol themselves under a similar agreement. Men easily give the uncertain for the certain ; and a few ships of the line saved in building, would go a long way towards providing crews for the rest. Since nothing is so cheap as instruction, why should not the Marines be made as perfect as the Marine Artillery, in everything connected with gunnery which can be learned in harbour, and in fact all the duties of a ship of war, except going aloft, which can hardly be acquired but by :early habit ? In many ships the marines can furl the mainsail, and of course the foresail also. They man the lanch or heaviest boat; whence the sailors' phrase of " a s?'gers to wind," for a side wind, which carries t he marines Jut shore and back again without pulling at the oars. if they can man one boat they could m an another; a nd if two cutters were started for a p iece of service, one manned with sailors and the other with marines, it may be held certain that neither would be much behind the other. There appears no reason why y the best of the top-men should always be s ent away fn boats. The no tion that men cannot be brought war, and must be stolen ready- made, humbug. In 1804 I remember is professional men sent on board a frigate by the London police. O ne of them was a whher it was he hackney-coachman; an u sed to ribbands,—but within et that six months he acted was as captain of the mast, not an office of the charge a landsman might infer from the name, but still one of considerable trust. Instead of the allowance to ships of war being one marine to a gun, why should it not in case of emergency be four? Why shohld not one or more battalions of marines form part of every garrison to which a fleet or single ship can come to re fit? Why should not every battalion have a rifle com pany? And why should not the marines, the Admi ralty's army, be officered from that superfluity of officers in the earlier grades of the navy, which is always besieging the Admiralty for promotion? Ia cases of proved aptitude, the officers and non-commissioned officers of the marines should be promotable to places about the dock-yards. The marines are a po pular service so far as recruiting i s concerned, and there would be no difficulty in rai s i ng t h em to any• tent in place of other troops.

It is astonishing that no Government has arisen which has found out, that the more a nation spends, the less it has to spend hereafter ; and that the true way to and strong would be, not to expend every six fence as fast as it can be laid hold of. But this may im gLove with time ; and the root of all improvement is whoa "eve are all seeking after, which is to know. On Monday, the 14th, the House was summoned for twelve o'clock ; and after waiting half-an-hour before forty Members were collected, was, at ten minutes after one, adjourned till five; an instance of the inefficiency of the attempt to do business by much sitting. . . In the evening, debates upon Supply. If you study the division-lists, you will perhaps be tempted to con- - - elude that all the opponents of the Government voted for the Government's proposals, and all the rest against them. The appearance is owing to an odd manner of putting the question. The substantial matter in dispute was, whether the demands of the Government should be cut down, for various reasons mainly connected with hostility to the Catholics of Ireland. And it seems the rule is, to put the smallest sum to the question first ; which is in the teeth of ordinary habits, inasmuch as no man is ever heard saying " I won't give you 201. for that horse, because I will give 25/." But so it is hero ; and you will find it put to the vote, that a sum not exceeding 20,481/. 19s 3d. bo granted to her Majesty, and nega tived by 109 votes against 38, with no other object than deciding immediately afterwards without a division, that a sum not exceeding 23,167/. be granted to her Majesty. I doubt whether you do business in that way in the West Riding.. On Tuesday the House met at twelve, and at three ad journed till five. On meeting at five, it was immediately counted out. I um, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, Aug. 16, 1848. SALE — OF — THE DUKE OF BUCK INGHAM'S PROPERTY AT STOWE. BUOLINGRAM, TUESDAY.—The unreserved sale of the effects of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos was commenced this morning in the state dining room of the palatial residence of Stowe. Up to the latest moment prior to the actual come mencement of the auction, a report was very generally current in this neighbourhood that the sale would not bo permitted to take place, that the contemplated dese cration would be stopped at the last moment. Unfor tunately, those who gave credence to the rumour had little knowledge of the utter hopelessness of any means of liquidation short of the absolute and unreserved sale of nearly the whole of the family property. The bona fide debts of the Duke are variously estimated, but about one million and a half sterling is said to approximate to the true amount. The creditors for this enormous sum are amply secured on mortgages, which extend over every acre of land of the family estates, with the single exception of the Chandos property, as well as on the mansion of Stowe itself, with all its valuable contents. The latter are mort gaged, exclusively of the books and valuable ma nuscripts, for between 60,000/. and 70,000 L This mortgage is wholly unconnected with the liens upon the land; and however much it is to be deplored that a place so celebrated for its historical and literary associa tions should ho invaded by the auctioneer, some conso lation may be felt in the fact that the mortgagee of this property is no usurious money-lender, but a private gen tleman of fortune, whose transactions with the Duke are said to have been marked by the strictest honour and probity. The present sale, it may startle some of your readers to learn, has been not only authorised, but in sisted upon by the heir to the dukedom, Lord Chandos, who, feeling that any attempt to preserve the mansion and its appurtenances would be worse than useless, gave the necessary authority without the slightest hesi tation. his Lordship, on seeing the position in which his father was placed, in the most generous manner. and with a degree of high-mindedness which will re dound to his honour, at once freely gave up the entail to which he was entitled for the credit of his family name, and rendered himself hereaftercomparatively a poor man. The Duke of Buckingham has also long foreseen the necessity of parting with the heir-looms of his family, and no difference on the subject is said to have arisen between the father and son, except on one question, via., the locality where the sale should take place, the Duke wishing the effects to be removed to London, and the young Marquis yielding to the opinion of the mortgagee in favour of selling at Stowe. The • Stowe estate consists of about 59,000 acres of land, most of it of first-rate quality, divided into farms of convenient size. The title-deeds of this property aro chiefly held by the Norwich Union Life-office, and that the whole will eventually be brought to the hammer there does not appear the smallest possible doubt. The out-lying farms have already been offered for sale by Messrs. Farebrother, but only two have been disposed of, the one for 11,0001. and the other for 9,0001. What is to become of Stowe? is now the question asked on all hands. Every one feels that once robbed of its mag nificent contents, there can be small hope indeed of find ing any member of our aristocracy prepared to purchase and refurnish it. The park alone, moreover, exceeds 1,500 acres in extent, and will necessarily require a very large income to support it. Two or three noble men have been mentioned as anxious to possess the place, but beyond the desire expressed, there is nothing calculated to confirm the probability of its sale. Ono rumour states that Government have it in contempla tion to purchase the domain for the Prince of Wales. A more truly royal residence it would be difficult to select in any part of England. Again, its proxi mity to the adjoining county of Berkshire, in which Windsor Castle is situated, and the convenient access to London which will be hereafter afforded by the Buck inghamshire Railway, seem to point out Stowe as one of the most eligible residences which could be selected for the future Monarch of these realms. Whether ,tnch will be the ultimate lot of Stowe can at present be only conjectural, but seeing the alternative appears to be nothing less than a razing of the classic walls of the man sion, its future occupation by royalty cannot fail to be " a consummation devoutly to be wished." To return from this digression. The mansion during the week has been crowded with company. Many of the visitors have travelled from distant parts of the king dom, unwilling to allow so celebrated a place to be dis mantled without taking a last view of its magnificent interior. Among the members of the aristocracy who have paid visits during the week are—the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Hertford, Earl Delawarr, Earl Granville, the Earl of Cardigan, the Earl of Scarborough, Countess Fortescue, Lord Hotham, Lord Hastings, Lord Ward, Lord Carrington, Lord Sondes, and many others whose names have not been preserved. The Barons Rothschild were here on Saturday, and on the same day Mr. Rey nolds, M.P., and a deputation of Irish Members of Par liament made a pilgrimage to the place. Yesterday, in consequence of some agents for the sale of the catalogues having, in contradistinction to the auctioneer's express instructions laid down on the sub ject, let out a large quantity on hire for a small sum, a scene of a very disgraceful character occurred at the mansion. During the afternoon the doors were besieged by an immense crowd of persons. The parties in charge of the entrance having vainly endeavoured to opposes. their entrance, were at length overcome, and a large number of persons entered the house without any au thority whatever. By the great exertions of the more respectable parties present, who lent their assistance to the persons in charge, no serious damage or loss was incurred, but so alarming did matters at one time appear, that it was deemed necessary to send for the police from Buckingham. sal T e h ta is k m in o g rn p i l n a g ee , watertewefilnvaellyo'crleomcko,veadllbdyoumbrts. masantosi3thwes mounting the rostrum,which th i e s e e o r m e m cte e d oce i m n e t o h t e o s f t t a h te e dining-room, and announcing sale.

The Government have very wisely determined to take early precautions to prevent the cholera from spreading to our shores, in the event of any cases occurring in ships afloat. They have ordered the Benbow and De vonshire, old line-of-battle ships, to be immediately pre pared as hospital ships, to receive cholera patients from merchant vessels; and another ship, the Iphigenia; is also to be fitted as a cholera hospital ship, tihOttld 67 require adclitioual accommodation, i .
