A number of sportsmen, like " birds of a feather," One day after shooting, were dining together, And I needn't to say they were all rather merry, As they sat after dinner, enjoying their sherry. such indeed was the case, and in style did they go on. With toasts and with anecdotes, ditties, and so on. Now ens of the company happened to be A quick-witted gentletua.n, something like me; And the test said he trusted it would need no persuasion, If he asked for a song on the very occasion. So the'poet requested a writing utensil, And at once set to work with his paper and pencil, And in five or ten minutes, or hardly so long, The sportsman produced AN ORIGINAL SONG. The warrior bold, in days of old, Might sing if ills sword and his shield ; But - the man of the sport, would sing as he ought, Of the Coat that he wears in the field. See. see. I hare gone, by MOSES and SOS, An out-and-out spicy affair ; Hurrah for the Mart, and its Sheeting-coat smart, Yes, hurrah I may It long flourish there. I gaze round the room, and I see the costume Is all made by MOSES aid SON ; lite myself, you have been, where the best Coats are seen, Well done, brother sportsmen, well done. • Let ns all, as is one, back MOSES and SON, And tell what their Shooting-coats are ; And as long let us sfig as our gun barrelling, - Hurrah for the Warehouse I —hurrah ! ifl • l oat MOSS and SON i n vite especial aVention to their Shooting - Which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort ht t h e at.

QTERILITY.—Whatever is unproductive is with '. - 7 out intrinsic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that, which " yields no fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned for the same reason thst caused the barren fig tree to be cursed. This curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth famine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into the - ear of those of the human race who remain childless in a community which must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures,, but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation , to the wifeless bosom—brings no return for the childless home. 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 that yields an offspring as unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value by being too early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some soils, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others are spoiled by unwholesome 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 avertasks it too late. Man, by unwholesome contact can also in- ' fect his f-ame ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance , of his orga•dzation and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy cease here.. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have i)een 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 through the profound discoveries in physic which enlighten the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been produced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove Sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS AND CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith- street, Soho-square, London, and bears the title of " MANHOOD: The Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for its Perfect Re storation ;" and is sent by W.

No man is exempt from poweritsg philo sophy,i influence , nnLdc LOVE, ,v divinityEr can „v h which, unlike n i c s eo w n im a with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that snap th ,o o f v m e o r s y t c u o n ni c h angea ble habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being inset subsequently be 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 unalloyed happiness.

REYIEW OF THE WpitlE. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but 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 him 1 In the hook before us 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.

Leeds, September 8,184 S. lalarmed, and told the e n g i ne-driver to move on.' The latter did so, but it was too late. He had not moved five yards before the collision took . place. Both driver and stoker jumped off the engine, after having turned the full steam on, leaving the engine to move ahead without any ene to control it. It was only by a singulai accident, resulting from the collision, that it was pre vented from running a wild career over the line, hurry ing the unfortunate passengers who had escaped the col lision to some fresh disaster. " The last carriage of the local train was an old se cond-class canine which, was used as a third class. The framework was quite decayed, many parts of it being so rotten that I could scrape a hole in it with my finger. It crumbled to pieces 'on receiving the shock of the express engine, and the fragments forced under the next carriage, which was a third-class one, lifted one end of it high up from: the line. In this position, one of the most unfavourable, it was struck by the engine, and broke by the shock. The next carriage was a first class one; the bind wheels were forced off the line, and the buffers were somewhat strained, but othersvise the carriage was uninjured. It was the singular circum stance of the hind wheels of this carriage being off the line, and dragging through the sand and sleepers, that probably saved this train from another disaster. The resistance caused by it was so great that the engine could not get away with it, " The train had nearly stopped of itself when the stoker overtook it and shut off the steam. " By this collision one-third class pasiellger , a wo man, was killed on the spot, and several persons were injured, souse so severely that it is feared they may not recover. " So many causes c om bi ned to pro d uce thi s catas trophe that it is not e as y to determine to w hi c h to g ive precedence. I should say that those causes were— " I. The lateness of the express train and its starting so soon after the local train. " 2. The inefficiency of the. signals on the line. "3. The local train not keeping-isa timed taking. no precaution when they knew they were late, and that the express was behind them. " 4. The uncertainty as to who is the rightful pos sessor of the line. "5. The want of a proper understanding between the Lancaster and Carlisle and the lessees of the Lancaster and Preston Railway. "6. The rule which allows an express train which often runs at 45 miles an hour to pass a station only five minutes after a slow train. "7. The want of sufficient station accomodation at Preston, causing all the trains , to the north to start late. " I would suggest that the two companies should come to a good understanding, and that every effort should be made to determine the right ownership of the railway— that the signals be immediately replaced by others of a better description—that the express be not allowed to pass till, ten minutes after the starting of a preceding train, and that means be taken to insure, as far as pos sible, greater punctuality in the times of starting from the Preston station." TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY. Permit me to congratulate you upon the favourable report made by your directors at your last half yearly meeting, and particularly upon the circum stance of the prompt payinent of calls, so that it appears there remain unpaid only about 45,000/. due upon every description of shares. Having from the commencement of your under taking attempted to promote the profitable success of your line, by an endeavour to check unnecessary ex pense, in which I have reason to know I was successful to an important extent, which I have also reason to know was the means of causing me a con siderable pecuniary sacrifice, notwithstanding which, I still feel an interest in the future progress and prosperity of your line. I observe that your directors are authorised to negotiate with the Great Western or other parties, on the subject of leasing your railway, which, judging from the report, ought not to be on terms leis than from 5i to 6 per cent. In the absence of official in formation, I think a tolerably accurate estimate of the value of your line may be based upon the following items. It appears by your last half-yearly report that the tollage of one farthing per mile on passengers was 9,439, and tollage on goods one farthing per mile per ton amounted to 3,0261. Now as the average charge for passengers is at least seven farthings per mile, and for goods eight farthings per ton per mile, multiplying the former sum by seven and the latter by eight gives a sum for half a year of 90,2811., or at the rate of 180,5621. per annum ; but as the extra charge on light goods, cattle, parcels, mails, &c., is not mentioned, I think it may be safely inferred that the gross income of your line is nearly 4,5001. per week. I will, therefore, presume it equal to 220,0001. per annum ; expense of working entire 45 per cent. will leave a balance of 121,000/. ; deduct interest on loans, bonds, &c., 53,5001., leaving a balance of 67,5001. per annum to be divided on 15,000 whole shares, which would be 41. 10s. per share, or 51 per cent. That this estimate is rather under than over the truth, may be inferred by the circumstance of the Great Western Company on a former occasion offering to accept a renewal of the lease, allowing a rent, &c., nearly equal to six per cent., which it may be presumed they would not have done without expecting a reasonable profit. I am, therefore, of opinion, that if the line be worked by yourselves, under the management of your able chairman, directors, and officers, your line will at the present. and for years to come, produce from 5i to 6 per cent. My private opinion is that it will be equal to from 6 to 7 per cent., considering that notwithstanding the commercial panic and consequent distress the traffic increased the last half year nearly 24,000 passengers and 5,000 tons of goods, pro ducing, at the low tolls, a clear gain of nearly 1,000/., arising from a gross amount of about 8, 0001 . It is, therefore, reasonable to conclude that it may co ntinue to increase when trade and commerce improve s, and public confidence is restored. I am, however , w illin g to admit the possibility of some reduction in the re venue, some four or five years hence, by the op enin g of the proposed Salisbury and Exeter line, but not to so serious an extent as some people imagine. Let it be supposed that one-fourth of the presen t g eneral traffic is direct from Exeter to London — thi s would be about 30,0001.—and that when the said line was opened one half-of that amount may avail thereof, making a loss of about 15,0001. per annum; but as the speed on the broad guage is higher than on the narrow guage, and if the charges are the same, I think it, probable that the circumstance of Taunton, Bridge water, Bristol, and Bath being on the line, will still induce, at least, half to continue the use of the Bristol and Exeter line, even if business do not require it; thus, under the most unfavourable future circum stances, it appears to me quite probable that its revenue will warrant a dividend of at least five per ce6t. There are particular circumstances likely to arise which, in my opinion, may probably, go a , great way towards increasing the present income, perhaps nearly equal to the supposed possible loss of 15,000; and, therefore, I ineline to believe that, by the judicious management, which it is likely will be adopted, the di4idend will undoubtedly range from five to seven per cent. There is also this favourable circumstance attending your line, that,, with the exception of the contingency of the Salisburyand Exeter line, no further competition can arise, consequently its present local traffic will remain, and the whole of the northern and Welsh traffic must continue to flow to the west upon it. I remain, yours respectfully, THOMAS MOTLEY, C.E. Bristol, 9th month 6, -1848. E RAILWAY SHAR MARKETS. BRISTOL, SEPT. 8, STOCK EXCHANGE. —The Share Market remains heavy, dull, and inactive.

THE FATAL COLLISION ON THE LANCASTER AND -PRESTON RAILWAY. OFFICIAL REPORT. The following official report from Captain Laffan, the Government Inspector to the Railway Commis sioners, with reference to the accident which hap pened on the Lancaster and Preston Railway on Monday, the 21st ult., clearly shows the causes which produced this shocking disaster, and is also of the highest importance. After referring to the extraordinary position of the Lancaster and Preston Railway, the rightful pro prietors of it being unknown, and the companies using it running their trains between Preston and Lancaster without paying toll to any one, the inspec tor proceeds to lay before the Commissioners the re sult of his inquiries into the more immediate causes of the accident in the following terms : " I shall first observe that, on examining the line, 1 found that the signals at the stations were of the rudest description, and that though they might have sufficed for the traffic when this railway was only a small local line, they are utterly insufficient to provide for the public safety now that this line forms part of one of the great chains of railway communication with the north. There is but one signal at each station, so that it is impossible to tell to which line of rails it ap plies, and that one signal consists simply of a small red flag hoisted to a staff. At some of the stations an attempt is made to keep the flag square with the line, by fixing to it small cross sticks, but at others, and particularly at the Bay Horse station, where the present collision occurred, there is simply a small stick at the top, .and, the flag not being held down in any way, blows about freely, and can scarcely be perceived_ when the wind blows up or down the line. On Monday, when I was at the Bay Horse station, it was a remarkably fine bright day, and, having directed the signal to be hoisted, I walked away from it to ascertain at what distance it could be seen. I had scarcely got 200 yards:from it, when, ou turning round by chance, I was surprised at not see ing the flag. I returned to ascertain the cause, and on getting nearer perceived that in fluttering to the wind it had wrapped itself so tightly round the staff, that at a short distance it could not be distinguished from it. Had another express train been coming round the neigh bouring curve just then, and another local train been standing in the station, it is probable that a second die. aster would have occurred. " The insufficiency of these signals was pointed out to the company by Captain Coddington, but his suggestions were not attended to. " All trains running northward over the Preston and Lancaster Railway start from the Preston station, which belongs to the London and North-Western and the Lan cashire and Yorkshire Railway Companies jointly. The Lancaster and Preston Company and the Lancaster and Carlisle pay rent for the use of it, and the whole of the trains are started by the superintendent appointed by the two companies to whom the station belongs. The ac commodation in the station is utterly insufficient for the great traffic passing through it, and most of the trains going northward are very much delayed, and start late in consequence. On Monday last, the day this collision occurred, the local train of the :Lancaster and Preston, which was subsequently overtaken and h run into by the express, started 14 minutes late. It was standing ready in a siding, but could not be allowed even to come on the line, because two other trains, which were timed' to start before it, were both detained. " These were the Preston, Fleetwood, and Wyre train of the Laneashire.and Yorkshire Company, and the Ken dal and Windermere train of the Lancaster and Carlisle Company, both of which were timed to start at 3.40, while the Lancaster and Preston train's time was 3.45. They actually started the Fleetwood and Wyre train at 3.50, the Kendal and Windermere train at 3.54, and the local train of the Lancaster and Preston was then allowed to start at one minute before four, being 14 minutes after its time. _ _ _ " The express train of the Lancaster and Carlisle Company which leaves London at nine ♦.m. should arrive at Preston at five minutes past three, should leave that place at ten minutes past three, and, running over the Lancaster and Preston line without stopping, should reach Lancaster at 44 minutes past three. For some time past, however, it has invariably been late. For the last fortnight, especially, it has seldom left Preston before a quarter past four, and sometimes it has been so late as a quarter to five. On Monday last it left Pres ton at 24 minutes past four, being 25 minutes after the starting of the Lancaster and Preston local train. This want of punctuality in the time of the express train, causing it to start after instead of before a slow local train, is very dangerous, when combined with the want of cordiality between the two companies, and the insuffi ciency of the signals on the line. " The local train, which left Preston at 1 minute before 4 o'clock, consisted of an engine, tender, and five carriages. The wind was blowing strongly across the line, and the driver found that this circumstance affected his engine so much that he hid scarcely steam enough to keep up his speed—in fact, it appears that he lost time, tor the time tables show that he should be leaving the Bay Horse station 45 minutes after leaving Preston, whereas it appears that he only reached it 47 minutes after, and that he had been standing there 3 minutes more before the express train came up. He was thus already 5 minutes behind his time, and he was not even then prepared to move away. The station-master, who is the only man at that station, was actually in the lug gage-van assisting the guaid to get out the luggage, when the express train struck their train. There is a private coal depot near the Bay Horse station, and the stoker, to help to get up the steam, took a large lump of coal, broke it up into small pieces, and spread it on the fire. This caused a great smoke, which the wind blew across the line, and rendered it difficult to distinguish the signal flag, even if it had been blowing free in the right direction to be seen, and, as engines do not usually emit smoke, it was impossible for any person not seeing the engine to know whence it came. ; The express train left Preston at 24 minutes past four o'clock, and passed the Scorton station, 2.2-3ds miles short of the Bay Horse station, at 44 minutes past four o'clock. It is a rule on the Lancaster and Preston line, that on a train leaving any station no other train be allowed to pass until it has been gone five mi nutes. On nearing the Scorton station, therefore, all the parties in charge of the express train looked to see whe ther any signal was hoisted, but there was none, and they passed the Scorton station without seeing any one there, as they could have seen any signal at the Scorton station a long way off; they, therefore, concluded that the local train which was ahead of them must have passed at least six or seven minutes. In this conjecture they were right, for the stationmaster at Scorton de clares that there were seven minutes :between the two trains. Thinking, therefore, that the line was clear be fore them, the express train passed on at its usual speed, and, on nearing the Bay Horse, the driver blew his whis tle loudly while yet three quarters of a mile off. This whistle was heard at the station, yet the local train made no attempt to move away, nor was any precaution taken to stop the coming train; all parties seemed to have con fided in the little red flag. On nearing the station still more, the driver of the express train leaned forward over his hand-rail to catch the first sight of a signal, if there should be any, and to see the line as far ahead as he could. The stoker, too, screwed up the break to within a turn of the wheels, and stood with the handle in his hand ; the guards also stood to their breaks. They all knew that the Bay Horse station was dangerous when a slow train was ahead. Yet, having to run over the whole distance from Preston to Lancaster in 34 minutes, they could not afford, without actually seeing a signal, to slacken their pace. " The Bay Horse station is placed on a wide curve, and about a quarter of a mile before coming to it the line sweeps round this, a deep cutting. 370 yards from the station there is an ovorbridge, and a signal can be seen in fine weather 100 yards before coming to the bridge, or 470 yards from the station. On Monday last, however, the weather was very unfavourable. There was a high wind, and it was raining, and the smoke which , blew across the line still further obscured the view. It is impossible to tell how the flag was blowing, for no one seemed to have remarked it; but, even had it been blow ing ever so well, it is probable that under such circum stances it could not have been perceived further than the bridge. No one on the express train saw the flag, though they were anxiously on the look out for it, but 'D n the line.passing the T bridge i T t e h r e they of sawthe expressth e other instantly train sprang on to his whistle, opened it, and left it blowing. lie then shut off his steam, reversed the engine, and put the steam on again in back action. The stoker at the same time screwed up his break and the guards applied theirs, but all was unavailing. The rain had rendered the rails slippery, the train was running at least 40 miles an hour, and the distance was only. 370 yards ; they were still going about eight miles an hour when they struck the other train. The stoker jumped off about 90 yards be fore he reached the other train ; he merely came down upon one knee, and was in no way hurt. The driver remained on his engine, and to the last moment did all ho could to stop it. " The indifference displayed'on the part of those in charge of the local train, while this disaster was im pending, would be difficult to account for, were it not ex plained by their confidence in the little red flag, which always sufficed for their own local traffic and slower speed, and by the feeling which evidently prevailed among them that they were on their own ground, and that the others were intruders. On hearing the distant whistle they had disregarded it; on hearing it sounded sharply a second time, with the full loud tone that tells of imminent danger, the driver looked, and saw the ex press coming under the bridge. "He called to the guard that ho must get away, but the guard, who was by the station-master, told him to stand still, and that the express must wait for them. a l few seconds, after, however, even the guard v. 0,04,, s lor N SEPTEMBER 9, 1848. ROYAL VISIT TO SCOTLAND. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT ABERDEEN. ABERDEEN, THURSDAY EVENING.-At eight o'clock this morning the royal yacht Victoria and Albert rounded the Girdleness light, and steamed right up into the harbour of Aberdeen. The passage from Woolwich was made in thirty-nine hours and a half, and from the Nore in thirty-seven hours—this last run being without a parallel in the history of steam navigation between London and Aberdeen. When the royal yacht - was telegraphed frOm the Girdleness Lighthouse, the harbour authorities were quite taken by surprise. From the intimation of the embarkation received yesterday by the Provost from Sir George Grey, it was not expected that the royal squadron would reach Aberdeen Bay until seven o'clock this evening, and then only by an effort to save the evening tide. But so perfect were all the arrangements made for her Majesty's reception, and so fully alive were the civic authorities to the import ance of leaving nothing to be done at the last hour, that before the yacht had entered the lock to pass through the gates to the Victoria Dock, the provost and magistrates were ready to receive her Majesty, and thousands of the citizens rushed down to the harbour, when the city bells were seta-ringing to'bid her a loyal welcome. The vessels in the harbour; sent their colours aloft in quick time ;yards were speedily manned, and the scene, as her Majesty viewed , it from the bridge of the paddle-box, even at that early hour was well fitted to excite her admiration. The yacht was moored at the floating buoys imme• , diately opposite the landing at nine o'clock. At half-; past nine Mr. George Thompson, provost; Mr. A. Davidson, sheriff of the county ; and Mr. Arthur' Dingwall Fordyce, M.P. for the city, proceeded on board the royal yacht to receive her Majesty's com mands. This was a moment of great anxiety to the city. It was feared that the Queen and Prince Albert would proceed at once to Balmoral, as the day was fine and the royal carriages all in readiness. An express was dispatched to the Earl of Aberdeen to request his attendance on her Majesty without delay. The special constabulary who were to act as guards of honour were mustered, and the various public bodies who were to constitute the escort through the city were convened. On being introduced to Sir G. Grey, the Provost was informed that it was her Ma jesty's intention to land on Friday morning, but that he would ascertain her commands and give a defini tive answer in an hour. At eleven o'clock the grati fying announcement was made that the landing would take place at half-past eight o'clock on Friday morn ing, and then the multitude who had assembled in front of the yacht gave three hearty cheers for the Queen. It was further arranged that her Majesty would receive the civic authorities at half-past one, to present a loyal and dutiful address, to confer the freedom of the city on Prince Albert, and also receive a deputation from the Professors of blarischd College and the University. In this interim we may describe the voyage, sketch the scene of her Majesty's visit, and endea vour to give some idea of the port which her Majesty has chosen as the landing place to her Highland resi dence, Balmoral. _ . The royal yacht left Woolwich at twenty minutes before five o'clock on Tuesday evening. At seven o'clock she was abreast the Nore. It had been ar ranged that the royal squadron should anchor here for the night, but the night was so clear and the wind so favourable, that Captain Cargill, who was specially engaged to pilot the yacht, on being consulted by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, recommended that, if it were her Majesty's pleasure, they should proceed with the voyage. Her Majesty having consented, the squadron continued its course seaward, and steamed all night at the rate of from 10 to 12 knots an hour. Having passed outside the sands at Yarmouth, they made the Ne warp Light at four o'clock, A.M., on Wednesday, the wind blowing strong from the westward, with clear weather. The passage along the Yorkshire coast during the day was pleasant. The sea was perfectly smooth, and her Majesty and Prince Albert enjoyed the prospect greatly, spending much of the time on deck. In the evening they were off Tynemouth, passed the Fern Islands at midnight, and then steered for the Girdle ness. The sky now became cloudy; the wind fresh ened from W.S.W., and in crossing the Frith of Forth a heavy swell from the westward came tumbling in. Here the yacht rolled a good deal, and once or twice towards morning her Majesty sent up inquiries as to the cause of this change. On being assured that the weather was quite favourable, although somewhat changeable, and it being the opinion of Captain Car gill that the yacht might make Aberdeen in time for the morning tide, the idea of taking the Tay was abandoned, and the course main tained. At six o'clock the high land of Kin. cardineshire was full in view, and was a grateful sight to the royal visitors. Unlike the undulating shores and chalky cliffs of Kent, the verdant flats of Essex, the table lands of Norfolk and Suffolk, studded with steepled churches and dotted with windmills, the black and frowning rocks on the east coast presented nothing on which the eye could rest with pleasure. Yet along these bold rugged shores, standing out from among the mountain masses of conglomerate quartz, there were points of interest well worth ob serving. The majestic ruins of Dunnoter Castle, once the stronghold of the Marischals of Scotland, and the scene of many a deadly feud in barbarous times—the giant caves of the iron-bound coast, scooped out by the lashings of the storm, where the " hoarse cadence" of the waves is heard—the clus ters of fishermen's huts perched like the " cones on the rock," and the deeply indented bays which here and there relieve the hard-visaged outline of the shore, are full of character. At 7 o'clock the Vivid was dispatched to announce the approach of the yacht, and at half-past 8 Aber deen was fall in sight. From this point of observation we may sketch the scene that lies in the distance. On the south, looking westwards, the eastern limb of the Grampian mountains stretches inwards as far as the eye can reach. From the banks of the Dee, which here finds its confluence with the German Ocean, there rises up in verdant undulations a gentle slope of highly cultivated land, behind which is a range of granite hills topped with clumps of firs, and higher up, on to the southward, a ridge of peaked granite, whose well heathered summit fills in the background. Along the base, which forms the bed of the river, a marshy flat outspreads itself, covered with a luxuriant crop of yellow corn. In the sweep of the river, here, a basin has been washed out by the Dee, which at one time was the only harbour which the port afforded. In course of time the alluvial deposit car ried down here by the river had all but sanded up the entrance ; but .by indomitable perseverance and scientific skill a basin was scooped out, and a quay wall of everlasting granite was run out on the north side and carried the bar to a good depth seawards. Nearly half a million of money was spent in this erection, and it now stands a monument of what man can do when he sets himself to a great work. In the fore ground, to the westward, the city rises up on the face of two hills, bridged by a noble arch of 120 feet span, over which, in the distance, a well-wooded country may be seen. The Dee here, on the south- west, flows through a gully spanned by a chain bridge, which bears the honoured name of Wellington. To the north a semicircular sweep of sand lies off the bay, bounded on the north-east by another bold headland, called the Black Dog. Sheltered from the south-east swell by the Girdle ness, the bay was as smooth as glass, and notwith standing all that had been prophesied about the danger of crossing the bar, the yacht went right forward and entered the harbour in gallant style. The appearance of the dock was, to the Royal visi tants, a subject of agreeable surprise. Both her Ma jesty and Prince Albort expressed their astonishment at a work of such stupendous magnitude, and Sir George Grey remarked to Captain Cargill, that he had no idea such a dock existed at Aberdeen. Let us describe it. It includes the upper part of the tidal harbour already described, and the water covers an area of thirty. four acres. It is the largest single dock, we believe, in the kingdom. The chamber of the lock is 250 feet in length and 60 feet in breadth, and is constructed entirely of dressed granite. The whole of this immense structure rests upon a founda tion of 4,000 piles. There are three pair of gates in the lock, the ribs of which are of cast iron and the covering plank entirely of mahogany. Beyond the lock, on the south side, a cofferdam has been con structed for another entrance, for a single pair of gates, 70 feet in breadth. The whole of the quay walls around the dock are composed of dressed granite, and measure 6,000 feet in length. The quays measure 100 feet in breadth, and are all paved with granite. In the centre of this magnificent sheet of water, and about 30 feet from the North-quay, the Victoria and Albert i 3 now lying gaily decked, and viewed by at least 60,000 people. The Black Eagle and Vivid are also in the duck, but the Virago did not arrive in time for the tide. At one o'clock the whole of the vast amphitheatre around the dock was filled by elegantly •dressed citi zens.d A detachment of military guarded thlrieeed3l the e of the platform. The s pecial constables n inner front of the circle, an d the carriage way, which was railed off on the quay, was kept clear for the ma gistrates and. council, who •were n?w.opt.t heir waY t present the address. At half-past one the LOraVrovost, accompanied by Captain Fordyce, M.F., Sheriff Davidson, and Sir [PRICE SD. Michael Bruce, arrived in a splendid carriage. They were received, with the Town-Clerk, magistrates, Dr. Cruickshank, Professor Pirie, Rev. Dr. Pireie. and Professor Martin, of Marischal College and University, by Sir G. Grey on the quarter deck of the Victoria and Albert. The officers were ranged by the fore rail, and the deputation on the starboard side of the quarter-deck. At a quarter to one o'clock her Majesty and Prince Albert appeared on the main deck, which was splendidly carpeted for the reception, and the moment they were recognised they were welcomed by a burst of cheering from the immense multitude who had congregated to witness the reception. The Lord Provost having been intro duced to her Majesty by Sir George Grey, did obei sance, and kneeling presented her Majesty with the silver keys of the city. - The Lord Provost had then the honour of kissing hands, and presenting in the name of the community a loyal and dutiful address from the magistrates and council of the town. In presenting this address the Provost said " he had the honour, in the name of the magistrates, town council, and community of Aberdeen to congratulate her Majesty and Prince Albert on their safe and speedy arrival in this ancient city, and begged to tender the grateful acknowledgments of the citizens for the dis tinguished honour thus conferred upon them." Her Majesty graciously received the address, and expressed her happiness at being in Aberdeen. The following is a copy of the address : " UNTO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. "May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Provost, Magistrates, and Council of the city of Aberdeen, beg leave most heartily to congratulate your Majesty on your Majesty's safe arrival in your ancient and loyal city of Aberdeen, not unfrequently honoured in former times by the presence of your Majesty's Royal ancestors. In now placing at your Majesty's disposal the keys of this city, we beg to accompany them with our sincere expres sion of fidelity and attachment to your Majesty's person and government, and of our warmest wishes for the con tinued health and happiness of your Majesty, your illus trious Consort, and the Royal Family. " Signed in name and by appointment of the Provost, Magistrates, and Council of the city of Aberdeen, and the common seal of the said city hereunto affiied at Aberdeen, and within the Town-hall thereof, this 7th day of September, 184 S. " GEORGE THOMPSON, jun., "Provost and Chief Magistrate of the city of Aberdeen." The Lord Provost, then addressing his Royal High ness Prince Albert, said, " May it please your Royal Highness to allow me the honour of presenting to you the freedom of the city of Aberdeen—the highest compliment which it is in the power of the commu nity to offer. Assuredly, it cannot be more worthily conferred, and it will afford great pleasure to the citizens to know that the name of your Royal High ness is enrolled among the burgesses of Bon Accord?' To which his Royal Highness replied, that " He felt highly honoured by this mark of distinction from the citizens of Aberdeen, and highly appreciated the pri vilege of being enrolled a burgess of their ancient L city." Sir Michael Bruce, in the name of the Se natus of Marischal College, was then introduced by Sir George Grey, and presented to her Majesty the following address:— - _ " To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " Most Gracious Sovereign,—We, your Majesty's most loyal and faithful subjects, the Chancellor, Rector, Dean of Faculty, Principal and Professors of the Maris chal College and University of Aberdeen, beg leave to approach your Majesty with our most hearty congratu lations on your Majesty's sate arrival in this part of your dominions, and with the expression of our most warm attachment to your Majesty's person and govern ment and to that happy constitution of which your Ma jesty is the head. "As members of a university, we shall ever feel it 'our duty to inculcate, in connexion with literature and science, those principles of religion and loyalty which are the best safeguards of true liberty and of public order. " We earnestly pray that the Almighty may long pre serve and bless with health and happiness your Majesty, your illustrious Consort, and the Royal Family. " Signed in our name and by our appointment. " Aberdeen, Sept. 1848." "To Ins ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. " May it please your Royal Highness,—We her Ma jesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the dhancellor, Rector, Dean of Faculty, Principal, and Professors of the Marischal College and University of Aberdeen, beg leave most humbly to tender our heartfelt congratula dons on the auspicious visit of her Majesty and your Royal Highness to this part of her Majesty's ancient kingdom of Scotland. " That your Royal Highness may long be spared in the enjoyment of every blessing is our united and fer vent prayer. " Signed in our name and by onr appointment, RICHMOND, Sic. " Aberdeen, Sept. 1848."4 The Provost and magistrates then withdrew, and her Majesty and Prince Albert advancing to the taff rail of the quarter-deck, were received with deafening shouts of applause. Retiring for a little her Majesty and the Prince again advanced, and, with the Prince of %Vales in one hand and the Princess Royal in the other, presented themselves before the multitude, who welcomed them with the most enthusiastic cheering. In the afternoon, Prince Albert, accompanied by Sir James Clerk and Sir George Grey, visited King's College, and was received in the hall by the Earl of Aberdeen, Chancellor of the University, Sir Michael Bruce, and the professors and magistrates of Old Aberdeen. Lord Aberdeen read an address from the Senatus to his Royal Highness, which was very cor dially received and gracefully acknowledged. The Provost of Old Aberdeen also presented a loyal and constitutional address, which was received with equal cordiality. His Royal Highness showed the utmost courtesy to the large andience, comprising all the beauty and fashion of Old Aberdeen. Prince Albert was then shown through the library and museum, after which his Royal Highness proceeded to Marischal College, where he was received by the Professors in the open square of the court, and walked to the College-hall, where an address was presented by Sir Michael Bruce. After inspecting the pictures in the hall, his Royal Highness proceeded to inspect the granite polishing works of Messrs. M‘Donald and Leslie, where he spent some time in examining the specimens of polished granite produced by machinery. He also visited some of the other public works. We are informed that all the royal party bore the voyage without inconvenience. Her Majesty appears frequently on deck, delighting everybody by her condescension, and astonishing many by the simpli city of her attire. The yacht is greatly admired, and the officers and crew cordially welcomed to the city of Aberdeen. COURT CIRCULAR. _ His Serene Highness the Prince of Hesse returned to town on Thursday, from Kew. Viscount Palmerston left town yesterday afternoon, for his seat, Broadlands, Hants. Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial office, from the Governor of the Mauritius. Dispatches were sent off last night from the Co lonial-office, for the Governor of Canada and also for the Governors of the other North American Provinces. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, SEPT. B.—The resignation of the Regius Professor of Hebrew, which has been stated for some time past as likely to occur, has now taken place ; the resignation of Dr. TAP is in the hands of the proper authorities, but has not yet been officially made public. Dr. Lee, who is reputed to be far away the best Hebrew scholar, and the best Oriental scholar generally in the University, was elected,_in 1831, to succeed Mr. Lloyd, of Trinity, who occupied the chair during a period of 35 years. Dr. Lee is a member of Trinity College, and went out in 1818 ; he was in the habit of giving an an nual course of lectures (generally in the Lent Term), and was formerly Professor of Arabic ; he is now a Prebendary of Bristol. The electors are the Vice-Chan cellor, the Master, and the two Senior Fellows of Trinty, the Provost of Icing's, and the Masters of Sr. John's and Christ's Colleges, the Master of Queen's to supply the place of any of the above-named who may happen to be Vice-Chancellor at the period of the vacancy. Prefer puce is to be given (cceteris paribus) to Fellows of Trinity for College, should there be such among the can d idates_ as the office. Several gentlemen have bee n named aspir ing to the succession. MR. MA CR EADT.—Mr. Afacready made the follow ing farewell speech at the Theatre Royal in Liverpool, on Thursday night. lie sails to-day (Saturday) for America:—" Ladies and Gentlemen, —It will not be con sidered intrusive, I am sure, if I venture to trespass on your p a ti e nce with a few words , to o ffer y ou a p artin g tribute of my respect, in expressing to you, as briefly as possible, my grateful acknowledgments for the frequent kind receptions I have experienced at your hands.
