The first idea of those who hear of an iron ship is, probably, of something amazingly strong, but so heavy as to be kept afloat with difficulty, and liable to go down " like a stone," as the sailors term it, the moment she has the misfortune to spring a leak. Now all this is pure imagination, and it only requires to inspect an iron ves sel while under the builder's hands, to have every preju dice on the subject removed, and to ascertain that, so far from being heavier and more liable to sink, the weight of an iron vessel built of the same degree of strength as one of wood, the external dimensions of both being equal, will be something less than half that of the latter, the proportion being, we believe, on an average, about as seven to sixteen. A strong wood-built vessel is estk ,, mated.to weigh at least sixteen hundred weight to every register ton ; the new iron ship building at Bristol, about seven hundred weight, or, in other words, supposing a wood-built vessel of the same size as the Great Western Company's new iron steam-ship, and both to be loaded with the same weight of cargo, the iron ship might take in fourteen hundred tons of water by leakage, be fore she would come to the same bearings as the ottrer Not only, however, is the iron ship superior in lightness, but she is also far less liable to spring a leak at sea than a wood-built vessel. There is scarcely a plank in an or dinary ship which is not forced into its place, more or less, contrary to the position it would maintain if left to it&a, and this is particularly the case round the bows and in the run of the vessel, where, after being softened and rendered. pliant by saturation from steam, it often requires considerable mechanical power to bring the ...plunt,s to what is technically called "their berth."

STOURBRIDGE RACES.-(CONCLUDED.) TUESDAY. Of the outgoing Ministry we need not speak. Our opinions of them have been declared frankly and fear les.dy. The spring-time of their official career was in deed promising—but the fruit they produced was not.in proportion to the profusion of early bloom. That they gave the country several valuable measures we have no disposition to deny. But we affirm, without fear of contradiction, that their liberality always increased with their diffimlties, and as uniformly died away in the day of their power. When they could have done " the State some service " they were most unwilling —when they were most willing their ability was gone. They have managed to dispirit and divide reformers— to fritter away an overwhelming majority—to produce general distrust in 'the professions of liberal men—to leave the constituencies of the nation in a state of un precedented corruption—and to hand over at last the powers of office to a Tory majority of fearful strength. The advent of Sir Robert Peel to power is the com mencement of a uew era in the progress of reform—the setting in of political winter. Toryism, like frost and snow, may have its uses, but like them it is pinching in its operation, possesses no kindliness, and serves only to cheer one in the prospect of the nearer approach of another spring and summer. Let those who will, expect liberal measnrea, from Sir Robert—we canaut.. Putting entirely out of view the . whole past course of the Honourable-Baronet—his edu cation, his evident tastes, his measures and his no-Mea sures, it is impossible to anticipate anything more than a seeming reiiirm out of the materials with which he will have to work. Were his political tendencies less aristocratic than they are, and his ability far greater than he has yet displayed, he - would be loath, we think. to risk his present supsemacy by attempting to work out any extensive measure of good to the people by means of his present supporters. We doubt much whether the attempt would not bring down upon him instant defeat. The Buckinghams and the Winchilseas, and the hun dreds of others who now tolerate Sir Robert because he can better do their work than another man, are not likely to turn at his bidding and do his. Peel is but an apparent leader—he is a real fag. _ _ . Dr, 9d rat The Stourbridge Handicap of 15 sovs. each, 10 ft, and 5 only if declared, with 50 added. Mile and three quarters.

All old sailors are perfectly aware of this, and are never caught by a storm, en a lee-shore, without keeping a watchful eye on the pumps as well as the sails ; but in the case of an iron built vessel it is entirely diferent : every separate sheet of iron with which she is closed in is adapted to its' par ticular situation, from which it has no tendency to re move itself, except that which it naturally derives from gravitation ; and as every sheet is bolted in the firmest manner into all those to which it adjoins, above, be low, and laterally, as well as to the iron ribs, or frame on which they are laid, the vessel may be considered almost as compact as a cylinder ; and we should no more ex ' pect to find her leak by straining at sea, than we should expect to see the bilge-plank of a wood-built vessel open through its centre, under similar circumstances. To sup ply the place of a kelson, ten distinct rows of plates arc fixed to run the whole length fore and aft on the bottom, above two feet deep, and something less than that apart, the whole being united by a number of bonds in the form of the letter U, the bottom of each of which is fastened into a flooring iron, and the sides to the two plates be tween which it stands ; thus, with superior lightness,. securing the same strength, and distributing the support so as to meet the strain on the bottom, wherever it may occur. To insure the safety of the vessel, and prevent her from being subject to wreck at sea, from whatever cause, she will be divided into separate compartments, each of which will be water-tight, and any two of them ca pable of supporting the entire weight of the vessel with considerable buoyancy, so that if she ran into an ice• berg, or were thrown upon a rock, sho would not be liable to go down, or endanger the lives of the pas sengers, as long as one end of her remained unbroken. To this may be added the power of her pumps, Which will be enabled, in case of any serious leak, to throw off a quantity of water exceeding 7,000 gallons, or twenty.. five tons per minute ; so that a leak which would in five minutes sink a loaded ship of the size of three or four hundred tons, would merely keep the pumps of this steamer briskly at work, to prevent the water from gain ing,on her. In fact, when the ship is fairly afloat, with good canvass aloft and the screw-propeller below, she may be pronounced to be the most safe and complete nautical machine with which mankind were ever yet 4equaiuted. , this year 51bs extra, of two or more, 101 b.

And now, let us mark the likelihoods of the case. The Corn-laws constitute, at present, the great burden of the suffering people. Are these likely to be so effec tually modified by the Tories as to afford seasonable re lief ? We answer, No ! The wily Premier will make a show of concern for the people, as he always does, and will attempt to cozen them out of every sound principle. We have his own word for it that he will adopt the sliding scale—we have his further assurance that he will not pledge himself to details. We deem it somewhat worse than foolish to attempt to build hopes of such re lief as the countrycraves, upon so narrow and so nnstable a foundation. By adopting the sliding scale, he gets rid of the free trade principle, which gave to the measures of his predecessors the only value they possessed—he re tains all the evils of the present system—its fluctua tions of price, its encouragements to gambling, its fee quent derangements of our whole monetary system — and he shuts out the advantages which even the mea sures of the Whigswould have partially secured—steady and extended commerce, general employment, and fo reign markets for our manufactures. Sir Robert will give the poor nan a slice more bread for his . penny, if he can earn it ; but he will do nothing to assist the in dustrious artizan in finding and making the most of his employment. If, however, the elementary materials which go to make up the party of which Sir Robert Peel is leader, coupled with'the Premier's declarations, are considered insufficient to contradict the new-born expectations of his liberality, surely the dictum of the Duke of Richmond, and the avowed satisfaction of the Duke of Buckingham, ought to dispel the dream. Men's wishes, not their reason, must be father of the thought. Nothing what ever in the professions of the party, nothing in their past history, nothing in their known character, nothing in their present conduct, fairly prompts an idea that thoy will prefer serving the people and saving the country to carrying out the objects of the lande in terest. The very necessity of a great change in our commercial policy, in so far at least as the importa tion of corn will be affected by it, is in so many words denied. Is Sir Robert to be liberal " nialire lui ?" Will not the country take his own word for his fu ture course, backed by the emphatic declarations of his own friends ?

The eulogy bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public lournals, and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink stands was almost unprecedented. The present novel and sci entific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it ; in this state it cannot overflow, whatever may be the change of temperature, and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use, and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear lnk for four or six months. PERRYIAN LIMPID INK.

Sir,--I have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills have been of he greatest service to me. Between nine and t n months ago I became afflicted with that mot painful disease Sciatica; the agonising pain which I suffeied in Inv legs and thighs for so long a pe'io 4, haffl.s any description which I can pos ited; giveof my then miserable rate I could eldom obtain either rest or sleep I had the best medical advice, eielteling that of to o phyAiciaes in London, without obtaining any essential relief I were to Margate, and had the best mcdi at advice, trying the warm bath there, and at other plates, without obtaining any eenelit. A short time ago I was rec mmenee i to try Blair's Clout and Itlietimatc tills; and wa the - eby induced to purchase a box of this valuable medicine of Me srs Hammond and Co , Chemists of this. town, and befo e I had taken the quantity therein contained, I was entirely free from pain, and speedily recovered my health ley taking a few snore Pills, and ha• pity there ha' been no return of this di treeting malady. Y u arc at liberty to publish my ea e, in the hope thereby that this excellent ne dicinc may be the means of relieving ethers. 1 am, Sir, your-, respectfully, 'J. 11 Mimes, Brewer and Maltster, Dartford, Kent. P. S.-.if I could possitil, speak in stronger terms of your invalu able mcdi ins I should be most happy, for it imposeble for lan guage to describe the relief I have ex peri,nred. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PI LLS in curing every de crip ion of Gout and itle umatisre, have seeurect to them a c lebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or pre,ent times. They no' only give relief in a few hours, ti here the patient has be - n driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures ef this disease, but restore I o perfect health in an incon ceivably short space of time. They arc equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains In the head or face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in tact, such has been the rapidity, perfect case, and complete safety of Ibis medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is n to city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many grateful ev i d ences o f t h e benign i n fl uence o f th is medicine.

This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.: -Ist, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, proeured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay, impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, comprehended under nervous debility. will find this Rocket Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va rious wants.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books.

Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp.

" Gentlemen—l beg to acknowledge, with the deepest sentiments of respect and gratitude, the expression of opinion embodied in the address from the public meeting of the citizens of Limerick. " That the services which it has been allotted to me to render during the period of my connection with the Government of Ireland, and still more, that the inten tions by which they were suggested and guided, should have been thus indulgently recognized, is now felt by me as a most abounding reward, and will prove to me, through every change and chance of my future life, a source of genuine and abiding satisfaction. " It cannot fail to be even additionally gratifying to me that such a mark of consideration should have pro ceeded from a community which, although of great and growing importance, is yet far removed from the usual scenes of my official labours ; and I cannot refrain from remembering with pleasure that the latest act connected with the duties of my department in Parliament was to introduce a measure which I hope is yet destined to af ford to Limerick a more close and speedy connection with the other portions of the empire.—l have the ho nour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient and devoted servant, " W)RPETH."

This match came off on Thursday, and was witnessed by an immense concourse of spectators from all parts of the country. During the afternoon the city was half emptied of its inhabitants. The boats started from Coldharn-hall, about half-past four o'clock. In the London boat, the two Maynards, Lett, Perry, and Noul ton—one of the Maynards being coxswain. In the Nor wich boat, the two Girlings, Clarke, Le Fevre, and But tle steersman. The Norwich men, who strained every nerve, plied their equal oars with great neatness and rapidity, and appeared to gain at first, but the superior strength and skill of the Londoners prevailed, and before they passed Brundell Dyke they had increased the original distance of a hundred yards apart ; they left the Nor wich boat still further behind as they passed Surlingham Ferry, and at I3ramerton Woodsend and Pastwick Grove tho boats were not in sight of each other. Tens of thou sands were on the look-out at Willingham. The red oars of the London boat first appeared in sight, gleaming in the sunshine, but the multitude appeared by no means pleased while waiting for the appearance of the Norwich boat ; when it did appear, the Londoners seemed to be half a mile in advance. The Norwich men did their best, but had hardly passed Willingham when the signal gun announced that their competitors had won the day, and passed the advanced distant post. The seven miles were rowed by the London crew in 53 minutes, and in 56 mi nutes by the Norwich. The boat of the former is said to have given them a decided advantage. On Saturday several other matches came off. The first, for twenty sovereigns, was intended to try what the Londoners could do in a Norwich boat ; it was a three miles match, from Bremerton to Thorpe.. In this match both crews were in Norwich boats, 24 feet long, but the Londoners wero, as before, successful ; it was, however, a close run, the Norwich men coming in within 15 seconds of time, and but 50 yards behind ; the three miles were rowed in 22 minutes arid 55 seconds by the Londoners, and in 23 minutes and 10 seconds .bythe Norwich rowers. The second was a two miles match, betweedtivo Lonaitti and two Norwich amateurs, but in this again the Londoners won by a few yards.- 7 -Ipswich Express. THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE. The contract of Messrs. Webb for the foundation of the New Royal Exchange was finished on Thursday even ing, and the Gresham Commtiee met yesterday at one o'clock to receive tenders for the second contract, which is for the completion of the whole of the edifice. Fourteen of the principal builders of London had, as we formerly stated, been applied to, and it was also de termined that each tender should contain two prices, the one being for executing the mason-work with the best Portland stone ; the other, the additional price for using the magnesian lime-stone, similar to that introduced into the Houses of Lords and Commons. The contracts of the several tenders were as follows: — Tenders. Portland. Magnesian Lime-stone Thomas Jackson X 115,900 .£ 124,700 Baker and Sons 122,765 127,300 IL and J. Lee 126,390 131,900 Sam.

The foundations at present laid are a very interesting specimen of the expedients adopted in modern science for procuring a permanent and solid foundation. The con crete is in some places 18 feet thick, and the walls and piers are laid together by arches in all directions, the piers being further' strengthened by the introduction of large quantities of wrought iron pooping laid in alternate beds. The form and general arrangements of the building are clearly pointed out in th ese f oun d a ti ons . Th e Merchants' area appears to us much larger than the area of the Old Exchange was. The form is, how ever, different. In the new building tha area is oblong, whereas in the old Exchange * it was square. We understand the exertions of the Gresham Committee, and their able Chairman Mr. Richard Lam bert Jones, have been unremitting in completing the necessary arrangements with Lloyds, the Royal Ex change Assurance Office, the various public companies, and other tenants who are to occupy the new building ; and that the rental to be derived will exceed 10,0001. per annum. These gentlemen have been most ably seconded by their architect, Mr. Tite, and though the public corn plained of the delay in the first instance, the exertions. he has made since the building was placed in his hands, and the sccess that has followed, lead to the confident be lief that by the time named in the contract,- the mer chants of London will assemble in gn exchange worthy of them and of the commerce of thetreatest commercial city in the world. HOUSEHOLD BRIGADE OF FOOT GUAIIDS..--- CHANGE OF QUARTERS.—Yesterday being the Ist of Sep. tember, the following change of quarters in the House hold Brigade of Foot Guards took place, pur suant to orders issued from the Adjutant-General's office, Horse Guards :--L-Grenadier Guards, first bat talion, marched from the Tower, four companies to head-quarter, St. John's-wood Barracks, two companies to St. George's Barracks, one company,to Kensington Bar racks, one company to Magazine Barracks, one company to Buckingham Palace Barracks, and one company to Wel lington Barracks. The third battalion marched from St. John's-wood and detached Barracks to Portman street Barracks. • Coldstream guards, the first battalion marched from Wellington Barracks to the Tower ; and the second Battalion from st. George's Barracks to the Wellington Barracks. PARENTAL BRUTALITY.—On Monday a very shocking occurrence took place at Sands-end, Filt h:l'm. It appears that a man named Baker, who is an ex cavator and of very dissipated habits, returned to his home about ten o'cloCk to his dinner. Finding his wife out and his meal net ready, he flew. into a furious pas sion, and, on his . eldest daughter, a girl about fourteen years old, expostnlating with him, he struck her on the head with a poker. The poor • girl fell senseless on the. floor; and was found by the neighbours, whO heard her screams, bleeding profusely from a dread ful wound on the head. The father on seeing the situation of his wretched child fled the house. The girl was removed in a cart to St. George's Hospital, when on examination by the surgeons, it was discovered that she had received a severe scalp wound, and that her skull was also reverely fractured. She lies in a hopeless con dition., The police are in pursuit of the father. SUICIDE OF AN OCTOGENARIAN.—On Tueid day an , inquest was held before Mr. T. Charsley, Coroner for Bucks, at the Swan Inn, Denham, about two miles from Uxbridge, on view of the body of Thomas Judge, aged 80 years, who hung himself under the following circumstances :---From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was a pensioner at is. per diem, which was all he had to support himself with. Latterly two of his sons having become out of work, were a great burden on him, which preyed upon his mind, and made him very low spirited, and on Friday' morning he was found hang ing in an' . outhouse near his own, dwelling,. quite dead and cold.---Verdict, " Temporary insanity." THE LATE DR. CLELAND. The following extract from a biographical notice of the late Dr. Cleland, .we copy from the " Popular Scot fish Biography," to which it was furnished by Henry Wilson Cleland, M,D., of this city, a son of the late Doctor's. It supplies some particulars relative to this eminent man, hitherto but partially known : Cleland, James, LL.D., a distinguished statistical writer, was born at Glasgow in the month ofJanuary, 1770. His parents. though highly respectable, were in a humble station of life, his father's trade being that of a cabinet-maker, to which his son was likewise brought up. Although he himself had received but a scanty education, .Mr. Cleland, sen., who possessed great shrewdness of character, had the good sense to be aware of its advantages, and accordingly James was early initiated in English grammar and the rudiments of the Latin language, and had made considerable progress in arithmetic. In the workshop of his father he continued until 1789, when, in order to render himself perfect in his business, he went to London, in which city he re mained for two years. On his return he entered into partnership with his father, and from his peculiar tact and straightforward mode of conducting business, he, in a short period, rendered the trade in which he was con cerned one of the most flourishing in the city. It was while thus engaged that he first exhibited his inclination to figures ; the thremost of his printed productions being " Tablas for Showing the Price of Packing-Boxes of sundry Dimensions and Thicknesses," an opuscule which was highly thought of at the time, and which is still in common use amongst tradesmen. In 1814 the office of Superintendent of Public Works at Glasgow having be come vacant, Dr. Cleland was unanimously elected to it by the Town Council, and in this situation ite continued until 1834, when, owing to some alteration in the distri• bution of offices, consequent on the operation of the Mu nicipal Reform Bill, he thought it expedient to resign. Many of his fellow-citizens, however, considering that some compensation should be afforded him, called a pub lic meeting on the 7th of August of that year, at which it was unanimously resolved, that a subscription should immediately be set on foot, in order to present Dr. Cle land with some tangible mark of the esteem in which he was held by them. This was accordingly done, and in the course of a very few weeks, when the subscription list was closed, the sum collected amounted to no less than 4,6001., which it was agreed upon by a committee should be expended on the erection of a productive building, to be placed in a suitable part of the city, and to bear the name of the " Cleland Testimonial." That this very superb present, however, was not totally unde served, will be apparent even from the following isolated trifling fact:—Previously to D r . Cl e l an d' s election to the office of Superintendent of Public Works in 1814, the caravans of performers, who were accustomed to meet in Glasgow during the fair week in July, had been allowed to be pitched on ground belonging to the town, without paying anything for such a privilege. But when Dr. Cleland entered upon his duties he 'imitated the example of the Corporation of London with rogard to Bartholomew Fair, and by charging a small sum for each standing of ground, he was enabled, during the period between 1815 an d 1834, t o pay i nto the hands of the City Chamberlain, from this source, no less a sum than 2,5091. In 1821, Dr. Cleland was employed by Government to draw up and classify the enumeration of the inhabitants of Glasgow ; and, from the following high eulogium contained in the Government enumera . tin volume, it will be observed in what point of view his services were regarded at head-quarters :—" It would be unjust," observes the writer, " not to men- tion, in this place, that Mr. Cleland has transmitted documents containing very numerous and very useful sta tistic 11 details concerning the city and suburbs of G lasgow, and that the example has produced imitation in some other of the principal towns in Scotland, though not to the same extent of minute observation by which Mr. Cleland's labours are distinguished." In 1831, Dr. Cleland again drew up the enumeration for Government, and the very flattering mode in which it was received, both at home and in several of the countries of the European conti nent, attests its value. From 1820 to 1834, the bills of mortality for Glasgow were drawn up by him, and from the following panegyric on them by the highest autho rity on the subject, we may judge of their accuracy and value :—" Of the statements derived from bills of mor tality, and enumerations of the people," observes Joshua Mylne, Esq., in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, " only those for Sweden and Finland, Dr. Heysham's for Car- lisle, and Dr. Cleland's fin. Glasgow, have been given in the proper form, and with sufficient correctness to afford the information, which is the most important object of them all, viz. that which is necessary for determining the law of mortality." In 1536, a number of gentlemen hav ing united themselves into a Society for Promoting the Advancement of Statistical Inquiry, 1)r. Cleland was unanimously elected President, and in the first part of their transactions there appeared a paper written by him on his favourito subject—the State of the City. From the 4ate of his s resignation to his death, which took place after an illnesss of nearly a year's duration. on the 14th of October, 1840, Dr. Cleland never ceased to entertain a lively regard for the inter'? It and pros perity .of his native city, and not a month before he expired, he published a pamphlet " On the Fortner and Present State of Glasgow." By the University of Glasgow he was honoured with the degree of Doctor of Laws. He was a member of the Society of Civil Engineers of London ; a Fellow of the Statistical So cieties of London, Manchester, and Bristol ; a corre sponding member of the Society of Antiquaries af Scot land ; and, a short period before his decease, he was elected an honorary member of the Societe Frtunois de Statisque Universelle.

The first annual meeting of this institution took place yesterday at All Saints National School-house, Spicer street, Mile•end New-town, Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., in the Chair. Some extremely beautiful fabrics, the produce of the Spitalfields looms, were prodigally lavished on the walls. There were four beautiful specimens of glass fabric, woven bp the men of Spitalfields, ' and • a blue tissue of silk and gold, and a crimson and gold pattern, which were the perfection of art. The walls of the school-room were also adorned with drawings or designs of the scholars. Among these was a very striking design for a picture, to be executed in silk, or silk and glass, by Bailey, of her Gracious Majesty. and Prince Albert. Lord Grosvenor, M.l'., having taken the Chair, Mr. lIANBURY read the Report. After a few prelimi nary remarks, it went on to say, that the establishment of schools of design was of modern invention. Except the Government School of Design, and that of Manches ter, there were no others in England. English manufactu rers had been compelled, in consequence, to commit pi racy on foreign artists. This evil was felt severely in the silk manufactories. The artistical character of Lyons, and other Continental cities, was entirely owing to their Schools of Design. In Paris alone 19 Professors of De sign were appointed, who were attended by 800 pupils. Many of them did not exceed nine years, and they paid five francs for the first, and six francs for the second and third years. Of 80 Schools of Design in France, Lyons was the most successful. It originated in a decree of Napoleon Bonaparte written in Poland. The Report then reverted to the condition of the Spitalfields School. of Design, which had been in operation only six months, and yet numbered 60 pupils. They met on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, and paid 3d. per week for instruction. Further the Report stated that they looked forward with confidence to the speedy erection of a building for a School of De sign in those parts. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR then said that the duty de volved upon him of awarding the prizes. The selection had been made with great care and impartiality, and the decisions of the Committee had been influenced by the excellence of the productions themselves, and by the in dication of other qualifications—namely, diligence and attention, and well-regulated habits of study. It was satisfactory to see the great progress which had been made by . the pupils. It was rather mortifying to think that in regard to our silk manufactories we had now, after so long a period of practice, been obli g ed to resort to first principles—to study, as it were, the alphabet and grammar of the art—the only true foundations of science. By this neglect the manufactures of the Spitalfields district had been reduced to so great a state of depression, but happier prospects, he trusted, were about to open. The Consort of our Gracious Queen had lately condescended to be present at the annual distribution of prizes at the central school in Somerset-house ; our belovered Sove reign herself had patronized the last year's ball at the Opera-house, the proceeds of which were to be appro priated to relieve the distress of the Spitalfields weavers, but circumstances had prevented her being present on that occasion, as she had intended. It was her gracious intention, however, to reiterate the command this year for a ball for the same objects.—(Applause.) His Lordship then deli vered the following prizes, chiefly fir designs for silk and satin patterns :—No. 1. To Mr. J. Brown ; Catter mole's Book of the Cartoons. No. 2. To Mr. Wm. 11. Towner ; a Treatise on Practical Perspective. No. 3. To Mr. C. Cutter ; a Treatise on Isometrical Perspec tive. No. 4. To Mr. G. Martin ; a Treatise on the Ori gin and present State of the Silk Manufacture. No. 5. To. Mr. J. Campbell ; a Treatise 'on Insect Transforma tions. No. 6. To Mr. C. Branchflower ; a Treatise on Quadrupeds. No. 7. To • Mr. Wm. Thomas, presented by the Rev. Henry Taylor ; Babbage's Economy of Ma nufactures. No. 8. To Mr. Jos. Hiberd, presented by Robert Hanbury, Esq. ; Conversations on Natural Phi losophy. . _ students also received testimonials from the committee for general good conduct and profi ciency :—Messrs. Wm. E. Cadman, J. Tuffnell, J. Whiter, J. Burridge, W. Justin, J. Connell, It. Hay ward, J. Cain. W. Edward Davis, W. Foster. The following resolution, moved by Mr. Cockerel], and seconded by Mr. Wilkinson, was then agreed to : "That this meeting, regarding with much pleasure the exertions of the Committee of the Spitalfields School of Design, and considering the obvious importance of such an institution, as a means to improve the art of silk manufacture, do earnestly recommend the cause to public sympathy and support." In the course of a few observations he made while proposing the resolution, Mr. Cociinimit, stated that his friend, Mr. Baily, the sculptor, had 'offered present his bust of the late Mr. Stothard to: the institution. Mr. Stothard commenced life as a designer for silk patterns in Spitalfields, but afterwards acquired such great celebrity, that he was placed at the head of the English School of Design. In no place, therefOre,Could the bust. of that remarkable man be - inure appropriately placed than in the Spitalfields School .of Design. • Mr.' EAST, a working weaver, in a quiet and pleasant manner, seconded the resolution. The Rev. HENRY TAYLOR, seconded by Mr. DYCE, offered the thanks of the meeting to the Right Hon. Lord Robert Grosvenor, for his kindness in presiding. IIis.LORDSIIIP baiting returned thanks, the meeting separated. TURNAL BALLOON ASCENT. The following account of Mr. Green's ..trial voyage from Vauxhall Gardens, on Monday last, is from one of the female passengers : " Dear Sir—Agreeably to your desire, and not with out considerable reluctance, I sit down to endeavour to give an account of our delightful voyage, but deeply regretting th a t my power of pen w i ll produce b ut a feeble portrait (I am spea ki ng as a portrait-painter) of all that was calculated to command our admiration of nature through the medium of art, and of one so well adapted to effect such an object as that stupendous machine, the Nassau Balloon. In pursuing my narra tive, you will excuse me, if, as the gentlemen of the press, I assume their privilege of writing in the phi rality of persons by using the monosyllable we. The evening was delighfully calm, the heavens beautifully serene, and of that lovely blue which the Italian masters have so delighted in transferring from their own sunny skies, speckled over with numerous light and fleecy clouds, and scarcely a breath of wind stirred. By veterans in aerial voyages it was considered that a more favourable evening for a trip could not have been selected. From some misunderstanding, however, the inflation was but partially performed. It certainly robbed the balloon of a great portion of its majestic appearance ; but, whether from parsimony, or for other reasons, it matters not, it did not rob Mr. Green of his skill, so that he could not bear up and rise above the difficulties thrown in his way. At ten minutes past seven Mr. Green com pleted the act of separation from our friends, and we embarked, impressed with loftier views, and every prospect of a pleasing voyage, taking a north-easterly direction, which current, with but little variation, bore us throughout. It is utterly impossible for persons on their first adventure, to give expression to their feelings. There is something very awful in the very novelty of, the situation that, to a great degree, paralyses the language of description ; and yet the awe may be con sidered imaginary; tbr the balloon that Benjamin Frank lin recognised, as a boy, appears to have reached its manhood. On leaving the Gardens, we were somewhat flattered by the cheers of those we left behind us, and they changed notes in proportion as we towered over the lanes and thoroughfares adjoining. The motion of the machine was so imperceptible that it seemed not to 'us as if we were leaving the gardens, but as if the gardens left us. The first blush of observation pre sented to us something like a school-boy map—every thing dintinieherc,,,io_ dimensions, and curiously compact. The motion of heads and dirtiritildik .up of - feces, partly indicating animation, but more espeeSelly reminding us of bas-relief sculpture. We soca tei =pliantly o'ertopped the orientalists of the metropoe lis, and then the scene changed shades, and assumed a different shape. The River Thames became like an ani mated reptile, of ponderous growth, serpentining along, and seeming to encircle in its coils the mighty London, the mistress of the world. Crossing the river between the Tower and Blackwell, and surveying the scene we were passing from, the lights sprung up in rapid suc cession like glow-worms in the twilight. The ob jects became more coafpact, and the bridges bore the semblance of beautiful and sparkling fillets, encircling here and there an immense boa-constrictor, and fet • tered, as it were, or controlled, by white and riband looking roads, the inlets and outlets of the great city. Shortly after this we attained our highest altitude—six thousand two hundred feet, or nearly two miles and a quarter. We had expected, from what we had often heard, that some difficulty of respiration woold have been experienced, but, so far from this, we fancied that it was more free than usual, added to a buoyancy of feeling per fectly delicious, and instead of the cold usually resulting from a great elevation and a ratified atmosphere, the heat was unusually oppressive. 'We next passed over the forest of Epping. We now commenced rapidly to des cend, till within 2,300 feet of the earth, as indicated by the barometer. For the first time we became sensible of the motion of the balloon, our gradual approach to ob jects enabling us by comparison to form a judgment of the swiftness of our course. The sliest sublime object that accompanied us throughout our trip, when night had set in, was the moon and its effects on the scene beneath. The reflection of the moonbeams upon the river—now bursting upon the vision, now coquettishly dis appearing—leaving this in darkness, and suddenly presenting the same appearance in a thousand different quarters—rescuing solitary scraps or sheets 'of water from obscurity, rather as if it were artificially pro duced, than the mere result of accident. As an artist, I was delighted with the light and shade of the scene ; and one of the most prominent objects attracting our attention, from its uniqueness of character, was the moon's reflection on the bell, and the mighty shadow of the latter upon the earth. Although at the great eleva tion at which we then were, we were much surprised to find with what exceeding and clear distinctness we could hear the voices and distinguish the words of those who, attracted by the novelty of the object, were assembled beneath, the conversation, mundane and celestial, if not very edifying, was at least highly amusing. Mr. Green now became anxious to descend—but finding from in formation afforded by the good folks below that the giound was not well adapted for his purpose, we rose considerably, but still in the saase direction, until we found a fitter spot, at least as well as the obscurity enabled Mr. Green to judge, being without the guide line. Our car company had been so exceedingly plea sant that it was not without regret we heard of his in tention to descend. Captain Curry, who is a veteran aeronaut, this being his thirty-third ascent, delighted the company with the favourite ballad of The jolly young waterman ' with many ;other little flashes of amusement, which he called sky-larking. We had ' nec tar and ambresia' in abundance. Now to the descent. Mr. Green's anxiety suspended all these pleasing pass times, and having arrived at a place that he thought would be suitable, he encountered a difficulty from the sudden spring up of a ground breeze. The grappling iron was thrown, but, from the nature of the surface a hold could not be retained, until after two or three at tempts, when, with the assistance of the country people, the iron was properly planted, and we owed especial thanks to sundry little urchins, who bounded over hedge and ditch to our assistance. We were sorrysto find the balloon considerably injured, from having been for a short time entangled in the embraces of a solitary ash tree Our descent leas, however, effected scatheless, barring sundry bumps and thumps, which fortunately formed but a slight alloy to the pleasures of our trip. The gentlemen of the party then assisted us to alight, precisely at twenty minutes to nine , havin g been in the air exactly an hour and ten minutes. We were now on terra firma at Knavestock, near Brentwood, in Essex, twenty-three miles from Vauxhall. We stere kindly invited to the house of Mr. J. Crouchman. by his good lady, who was attracted to the ground, and to her • kindness, and the efficient services of her husband, we were much indebted. Finding We were in a part of the country abOundine; in cross-roads, and the cattle being engaged in the harvest, it was three hours before a conveyance for the balloon could be obtained. A very unpleasant incident occurred after landing, some one having abstracted the ornamental drapery of the car ; but, through the vigilance of the police, a tins young fel low was presented to us manadeel as the thief. Mr. Green had previously handsomely rewarded him, and to share with his fellows. It was our own opinion that the poor fellow did not wish so much to take it fix its value, as to obtain a relic. Then comes the price of pleasure. There were Mrs. Green and myself, Dr. Locock, Captain Curry, Mr. Daily, a gentleman whose name we did not learn, and Mr. Greta,driven to . our wits' end. We called a council of exreediency found ourselves six miles from any post-hrmse. The gentlemen were capable of walking six sris''es ; this was, ho never, rather too great a distance for vase and, by direction, we sought shelter at a house is mile and a half distant, where, we regret to say—theoug.l a female oracle, we suppose the landlady— admission was refused the party, benighted as we were ; showing . rots only a want of common courtesy, but a complete lick oC humanity, and more especially to those of her own sex.. Baffled in this reasonable appeal, we retraced our steps , to the hospitable cottage of Mr. Alexander Doddington, a few minutes' walk, whose whole family vied with each other in ministering to our wishes. One of his sons was immediately despatched on horseback to furnish us with such stores as he was himslf deficient in. Our eventful career was finished in comfort, before a blazing lice, lighted for our especial benefit, and every other accom modation was at our service. It is pleasing to contrast the warns-hearted kindness of this worthy fun fly with - the unfeeling. brutality of the other. A post-chaise was obtained shortly afterwards, and we reached town in t he .. morning, between nine and ten o'clock, slelighted our excursion, nothing the worse for an adventure or two, and looking forward with much pleasure io our next trip to the Isle of Sky.'
