SUGGESTED BY THE IRISH STATE TRIALS. At a time ltke the present, we've very good reason Te.say is few - words with regard to High Treasoa ; For a subject like this is by no means too solemn For a matter of trade in a newspaper column. The only idea with E. MOSES and SON, Is to make such a topic a mercantile one. It is said that when persons excite revolution. As traitors, they owe a severe retribution. But here no allasion whatever is made E. what may be termed, revolution in trade. E. MOSES and SON. as you all must confess, Have caused a complete revolution in dress. And they've levied a war with the trade, as you know, But the war has been civil—remarkably so ; And MOSES and SON is the efforts they've made, Have endeavoured to make themselves monarchs in trade. Now, although in the State, this is viewed as High Treason, To apply it to trade is to speak without reason. The trial which MOSES and SON have goes through, Proves them friends to the public in all that they do. Their prime Autumn dress, in its wide distribution, Will prove them not foes to a good constitution. And thus has the subject of Treason been made TO serve Messrs. MOSES and SON in their trade. E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting- Coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style. 'adding much comfort in the It. E.

The numerous advan tages which it offers, at a very trifling cost, ought to commend it to a still larger number of subscribers. nip list of lectures, announced as " The First Course for the Season," comprises the names oft tuititign ministers and other gentlerncii, - WhOgi• - aTiUntenance is an assurance to the public that the Athena3um is de seriing their support. The first lecture was deli vered on Monday evening, Oct. gth, to a numerous attendance of ladies and gentlemen, at Baker and Son's Public-rooms (which, we understand, are to be permanently taken, for the purposes of the Athenaeum), by A. A. Fry, Esq., on " The ,States reen-Orators of England—Pit; - Fox, and Sheri dan." The lecturer displayed considerable talent in ;delineating the character of each, and was most happy in his description of their several dis tinguishing peculiarities. The illustrations of their eloquence, from their various published speeches, elicited deserved applause. For an hour and a half the utmost attention was kept up, and every one appeared highly gratified. The second lecture, by the Rev. Dr. Bennett, on " The Nature and Advan tages of the Science of Logic," was still more nu merously attended on Monday evening last. The Rev. Gentleman, with his usual felicity, made this too often dry and uninteresting subject most attrac tively instructive. Few men possess in a higher degree the qualities requisite for a public lecturer than the Doctor. A thorough knowledge of his subject, clear and distinct method of arranging and stating it with a most astonishing- command of words —his apposite and forcible illustrations,- while a vein of humour runs through the whole—his venerable ap pearance and entire freedom from ostentation, com bined with great kindliness of manner, make one re • gard him as the affectionate parent giving instruction ad his to his family. In acknowledging the unanimou s thanks of the meeting the Doctor assured them that it gave him pleasure in contributing to the h imparta tion of knowledge, end that such institutions st wishes. He regarded them as affording great advantages to youth- of'the present day, which he re gretted that he himself had not enjoyed, for then he might' have been a wiser. and better man. At the cloie it was announced that the third lecture will be delivered by F. Lawrence, Esq , on Monday evening next, on " The Eloquence of the Pulpit and the Bari' —From a Correspondent. • •:FALL OF A. RAILWAY BRIDGE. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

The impetus given to the train - previously prevented the clrivee:, from entirely stopping it, and the moment the engine got Upon. the bridge the driver and stoker saw sufficient to sati s fy th emse l ves that the arch was Without an instant's delay both the driver and stoker jumped off the engine, which they had barely. accomplished when the bridge sank with the weight of the engine, the latter falling over on its side and rolling down the embankment into a field. The luggage trucks were pulled by. the weight of the engine over, and several of them tell beneath, some into the river and others into the field. Those which remained above were forced into terrible confusion across the line, and were all more or less damaged; some of them which fell into the field were shattered, and the goods partially if not entirely destroyed. The driver, stoker, and guards, upon recovering in some measure from their fright, proceeded to send intelligence of the disaster to the chief stations both up and down the line, to prevent any other train from meeting with a similar accident, and having reached the . Wye station, it was soon telegraphed to London and to Dover. The moment the news arrived a number of work men, with the railway officials, proceeded with a special train to the scene of the accident. The water was then found to be considerably higher than the level of the bridge, and the sole cause of tbe misfor tune was the excessive rains having swelled the river to such an height that it had washed away the sup port of the arch; which, the moment the weight of the train came upon it, was forced down. Seeing that the arch could not be repaired until tic water should subside, a number of omnibuses and other convey.. antes were placed at the spot, and passengers as they arrive by the trains are landed and conveyed to the next station, where they again enter a train kept there in waiting for them. Should the water fall suffi ciently during to-morrow, the bridge, a idgedy o is,aitr tv‘o expected, will will be replaced in the course one_ was hurt by the accident beyond a few trivial bruises.

One half the world are desolately single, and the ether supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret in comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an Item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound snore sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim you attention (same price ls. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy."

SIR,—In the account of the opening of the Loop line of the Great Northern Railway, contained in your paper of Wednesday last, there is a very gross inaccuracy, to which I take leave to call your attention. It is there stated that the shortest route from London to Peter borough is, by the North-Western Railway, whereas a reference to the time-table of that company will show that Peterborough is distant from London 1101 miles, whilst the distance by the Eastern Counties line is but 1021 miles, being 74 in favour of the latter line.

PORTSMOUTH ' FRlDAY. — Admiral the Honourable Sir Bladen and Lady Capel will entertain the follow ing guests at the Admiralty-house to-morrow evening, to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, in which Sir Bladen commanded the Phoebe frigate : —Rear-Admiral Prescott, C.D., Mrs. and Miss Prescott, Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., Captain Chads, C. 8., Mrs. and Miss Chads, Flag- Captain Eden and Mrs. Eden, Flag-Captain Dacres and Mrs. Dacres, Commander Crispin, Commander and Mrs. C. R. Johnson, Mr. Secretary Uaig and Mrs.,Haig, Flag-Lieutenants Cochran and Aplin, &c. The Prince Regent, 92, Captain W. F. Martin, at Spithead, is ordered to change her armament for heavier metal ; she is ordered all 8-inch guns (88 pounders) on the lower deck, of 6.ltwt. each; long 32-pounders, of 56 cwt. each, on the main deck; • and long a2's, of 42 cwt. each, on the . quarter-deck and forecastle, which terrific batteries, , it is expected, she will carry and be enabled to use with ease ; but with this increased armament she ought to have an increased crew ; 1,000 men would not be one man too many for such a ship. The Orestes, 18, and Sappho, 16, at this port, advanced for the pendants, are ordered to be masted, rigged, and prepared for the reception of officers and men immediately. The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Harvey, will sail hence on the 29th for Plymouth to be paid advance, whence she will sail on the let of November for the coast of Africa with the mail. Commander Graham Ogle, of the Victory, has been discharged that ship, the Admiralty intending to abo lish the appointment of commanders to harbour flag ships. The Driver steam-sloop, Commander C. R. John son, received ord ers t o -d ay to proceed with provisions and water to relieve the wind-bound vessels in the Chops of the Channel. She is directed to sight Scilly every other day during her cruise, which is to be re gulated as to length by the wind. On that becoming westerly, she is to return to this port, calling at Ply mouth. It is highly creditable to Commander John son's diligence that his steam was up in an hour after the orders arrived, and that he sailed in the course of the afternoon. The Stromboli steam sloop, Commander Lord A. W. Beauclerk, Was taken into the steam•basin to -day. The Dockyard Revision Board, comprising Cap tain Milne, Mr. Ward, M.P., Colon e l I rv i ne , an d C ap • tain Sir Baldwin Walker, of the Admiralty; Mr. Bromley, of the Audit -office ; Captain Ellice, of the Steam Department, &c., held their sittings at the office of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C. 8., in this dockyard; they berth, however, on board the Admiralty yacht, Black Eagle, in the harbour, and are so desirous of economy both in their own persons and appetites and those of others that they will not accept an invitation to dinner even at the Commander-in- Chief's mansion.. The Urgent steam-vessel, Lieu tenant Commander A. M y Di an n, was undocked to-day, and the Rifleman sc rew steam-schooner, Li eutenant-Commander -Cmmander So IR. Crafton, was docked in her room. The Reynard screw steam-sloop, Commander. Peter Cracroft, was taken into the old basin this afternoon. In port and fitting—Victory, 22, flag-ship; Illus trious, 10, ordinary flag-ship ; Excellent, gunnery exercise-ship; Victoria and Albert, Royal Yacht ; Blenheim, steam guard-ship; and Rolla, exercise brig for apprentices; Stromboli, Reynard, Rifleman, Urgent, Black Eagle, Fairy, Fire Queen, Echo, and Myrtle steamers; Fanny and Portsmouth, Admiral's yachts. In dock—Princess Charlotte, 104 ' • Collin gwoo d, 80 ; Pembroke, 7 2 ; Flying Fish, 12 ; Malaba r , coal depot ; and Rifleman steamer. In the old basin—Dauntless,Reynard, and. Plum per, steamers, and Defence, convict-hulk. In the steam - basin — Aj ax, Retribution, Centaur, Stromboli, Salamander, Phoenix, Cormorant, Fairy, Otter, and Jackal steamers. At Spithead—St. Vincent, 120 ; Prince Regent, 92; Powerful, 84; and Java, freight-ship. Wind, N.N.E. ; strong breezes and squally weather, with rain. It is reported that during the ensuirig *fort n i g h t some small relief will he aff orded to the suffe r i ng thousands of starving, good seamen, in our p orts, b y the commissioning of one or two ships. The Powerful, 84, Captain t he Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., as-we anticipated on M onda y last, has been ordered to have her defects made good, and to fill up the number of her crew from 490 to 750 officers and men, her full war complement. She is also to take on board all her sea stores, and to ship four months' provisions. The Canopus, 84, at Devonport, is ordered to be completed as an advanced ship.- The Wellesley, 72, Captain Goldsmith, w i t h the flag of Vice-Ad m iral the Earl of Dundonald, with the Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Wingro ve , were at Halifax on the sth inst. RUSSIAN FLEET IN THE BLACK SEA . TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING LIERALD. Sir,—ln your paper of yesterday I observed a paragraph under the head of Naples, dated the 27th September, in which it was stated that— " A courier from the Russian embassy in L on d on brought a:note.from Baron Brunnow to Lord Palmer ston declaring that any intervention by France an d England in the affairs of Sicily would be considered by Russia as a declaration of war. If this statement be true it will behove those mem • bers of the Cabinet who are urging on the Ad m i ra l ty the reduction of our navy to bear in mind that Russia has twenty sail of the line and fifteen large f r i gates in the Black Sea, all perfectly equipped and rea d y for active service ; which force might, through the in trigues of Russian diplomacy, be in the Mediterranean A r ti OCTOBER 21, 1848. and in the Bay of Naples too, within ten days after passing t'ne Dardanelles. Surely, then, if the threat above alluded to has been made, it would not be wise to risk a collision between this fleet and our half dozen ships of the line only —even though we might be aided by the French Admiral and his three or four ships. The Russian fleet is commanded by one of the most active and energetic officers in the navy—Admiral Count Lazareff, who was seven or eight years a mid shipman in our service, and was, I believe, flag lieu tenant to Count Heyden at the battle of Navarino. These facts it is to be hoped that Lord John Rus sell and Sir Charles Wood will at once become ac quainted with, in order that they may see the pro priety of stopping the further reduction of our fleet. October 14. BRITANNICUS. LORD MORPETH'S FAREWELL ADDRESS TO *HIS CONSTITUENTS. The Earl of Carlisle (late Lord Morpeth, ALP;) has addressed the following letter to the electors of the. West Riding of Yorkshire : "Castle. Howard, Yorkshire, Oct. '2O. "Gentlemen,—l dO not purpose to obtrude upon yolt tbesOrrOws of a private home, but I _cannot forget thatthey involve the termination of the politicil con,_ neflon which' it has long been an honour and happi 41ess for me to hold. "For the' space of 18 years, With one interval, and upon no less than-ten occasions, has it been •my good fortune to be elected by you as your, representative; in conjunction, at the earlier periods, with th e elec torS of the whole county of York, whom, on account of many common interests and many common favours, I could almost wish to be allowed to associate with you in the terms of my present respectful and grate ful farewell. "It was to be expected that, during so extended a time of service, comprising the agitation of ques tions which stirred the depths of almost every politi cal, social, and religious feeling, I must occa sionally have found myself obliged in my views to disappoint the wishes, and in my public conduct to act at variance with the convictions of successive classes of my constituents. Neither can I fail to he apprehensive that my tenure of bearing offices unde r the Crown during the larger portion of my represen tative service, must necessarily have often unduly curtailed the attention which I should have wished to devote to their important . local concerns. I never yet, however, found them inclined to put an uncandid construction on my motives or my proceedings ; and I trust that I may bear with me, during the remain ing portion of my life, the assurance of their indulgent estimate of the past. " It will always be a source of unmixed pleasure to me, •if any future opportunities should present themselves, for showing that my gratitude to them is not a superficial or transitory feeling. " Having just returned from paying the sad offices to the dead, I wish to devote to you, gentlemen, the last signature of a name, which I unaffectedly feel has derived its chief illustration from its connexion with you.—Your ever grateful servant, " MORPETH." TILE CHOLERA. LAmnETII.—A case of Asiatic cholera, certified by the medical officer, occurred yesterday, in Devon shire -street, Princes-road, Kennington-cross. WOOLWICH, OCT. 20.—A board of medical officers assembled yesterday, at the Justitia convict ship, which caused a delay of yesterday's return to a rather later hour. The number of cases returned up to twelve o'clook on Wednesday was-36 attacked, 10 deaths, and 5 recoveries. On Thursday there were •i-. 1 new case, 1 death, and 5 recoveries ; making 37 attacked, 11 deaths, and 10 recoveries. From twelve o'clock yesterday to twelve o'clock to-day, there have been no new cases, and consequently there are 37 cases of attack, and 12 deaths, one having died this morning, and 10 recoveries. The result of the meet ing of the medical board and an investigation of the cases on board the Justitia, is an order that the con victs are to be removed out of that vessel, and for the present will be hulked on board the Hebe and Sul phur receiving vessels, opposite Woolwich Dockyard. The Justitia is also ordered to be removed from her present position, and will be stationed lower down the river, where she was formerly placed, or very nearly in the same spot, where the convicts were 'generally healthy.. , The inhabitants of the town, and the convicts at the dodkyard, have hitherto escaped the slightest symptoms of the disease. WoastrzsGroup.—We are informed that three fatal cases of cholera have occurred at Wormingford, in one family. The children were attacked, and soon after sunk under the violence of the disease. They were buried on Tuesday.—Essex Standard. SUNDERLAND, OCT. 10.—Three cases of Asiatic cholera occurred last night in this town, one of which terminated fatally. The sufferers were seamen from the Baltic, and were attacked on board their re spective ships. No traces of the disease have as yet made their appearance in the town, nor does any ap prehension of an attack prevail amongst the inhabit ants. The wind blows strongly from the north-east, with a heavy sea rolling on the coast. EDINBURGR.—The number of cases of spasmodic or Asiatic cholera reported at the police office, Edin burgh, on the 14th and 15th instant, including Leith and Newhaven, were—Died, 60; recovered, 11 ; re maining, 7.—North British Daily Mil. WESTMINSTER.—A meeting of the members of the Westminster Sanitary Association was held last even ing at the Literary Institution, Great Smith-street, for the p ur p ose o f a d opt i ng such measures against the cholera as seem most calculated to subdue the effects of the epidemic. Mr. Elliott, Dr. Aldis, Mr. Wilson, the Rev. G. Stoddart, and other gentlemen addressed the meeting. BROMLEY.—An influential meeting of the inhabi tants and ratepayers of the parish of Bromley was held yesterday at the clerk's office, High-street, " to consider the best means to be adopted with respect to the nuisances arising from the factories in Bow Common-lane." It was resolved that " A deputation, consisting of the officiating minister, the church wardens, and the o ver seers, do wait on th e Commis sioners f the Board of Health, represcriting the dan gerous effects likely to arise to the health of the neighbourhood if the nuisances be allowed to remain, and that they be solicited to use their powerful in fluence to remove the same." POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. This admirable establishment continues to attract a numerous company, although it may be considered the dullest time of the year. The reason is obvious enough, as it contains within its walls a multitude of models, machinery, &c., not to be met with elsewhere, together with instruction in the various branches of chemistry, natural philosophy, and art, by the professors of the institution , who daily lecture on subjects o f importance. Models and machinery are also described, and among these we were much de lighted with the lace machine for manufacturing this beautiful article. The following description will give our readers some idea of its uses :—The process through which the cotton passes from the raw state into various fabrics, first, by the spinning machinery, the raw material is converted into thread, then may be observed the platting of the threads to form . braid by the braiding machine, or we may pass to the .elaborate_ and .beautiful lace machinery, and the same, thread -may be , seen converted into lace of various-kinds and patterns; the delicate and intricate movements-in the lace machine appear to dazzle the eye by their complexity, and almost lead us to sup pose the thing impossible, which we still observe going on before us—that is, a number of threads in motion, and the finished fabric slowly rising from this appa rently confused mass. There are also numerous other inventions well worth the inspection of the visitors.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing oven 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 tak• place, however. this passion, this fervour, this redden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in taco heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fhlfilinent of every engagement, snap the very con tract &sander which should be most binding to as honoarable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and apon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject Is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION. Illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa tions ea the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, 0.• infection.

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There aro scenes in the drama el life which are acted with no spectator but Coescience ; and of these tka 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 him ! In the book before ■s such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing ens idea that can ♦itiate 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 wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing 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.

BKDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. The Belgian papers contain a lengthy analytical review of the trade of that country for last year, the general results of which show, that it has increased from 15 to 27 per cent., compared with 1846 and the average of the previous five years. The export branch manifests the greatest improvement, and has, it is as serted, exceeded in amount any former period, national products alone establishing an advance of 12 per cent. contrasted with 1846, and of 22 per cent. with the average of previous years. The chief articles exported' it is stated, wore for France, Holland, the Zullverein States, England, America, and the Hanseatic Towns. Through commercial intercourse with some of these countries, Belgiudi, in 1847, disposed of 1,827,000 tons of Coal; valne - 1 aC24,500 0001.;, and 110,500 tons of iron', valued at 15,000,0001.; besides woollen and cotton manu factures, machinery, zinc, oil, grain, and fish for large amounts. The report of the Minister to the Govern ment is encouraging, and enters fully into the details of the subject. The warrant system having been favour ably received, its operation has lately been extended, and it is now decreed that certain descriptions of silk manufactures, lace, embroidery work, and glass, may be privileged to have their value so represented.

According to the late statistical report made to the Government, the number of locomotive engines con structed in France, and employed by the country in 1842, equalled the number imported from abroad; in 1843, there were two more French than foreign engines; in 1844, the surplus was 44; in 1845, 76; and in 1846, beyond which year the report did not go, this excess was 161. In 1846, there were 294 steam-boats belong ing to private individuals and companies navigating the rivers and seas. The numbers and force of the engines in use on land, and acting as locomotives in steamers ; were in 184 G as follows;--viz., 4,395 engines at work on land, equalling 163,402 horsepower; 461 locomotives, of 60 horse power each, upon the average amounting to 27,600 horse-power; 338 engines used in steam- ships and boats, amounting to 103,513 horse-power. These together, give a force of 299.515 horse-power. Com paring the strength of ma❑ to horse-power, it will be found that the steam-engines employed in Franca in 1846 were aubstituteq for 2,097,623 men.
