THE LADIES. T The powerful influence of the sun on the skin at this period of the year calls for increased attention in preserving its delicacy and beauty. The most "pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable object is R. ANDS' K ALYDOR, so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation. Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan, Spots; Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa• rency of complexion.

Mr. E. W. Stubbs, a chemist at Hastings, proved that about last June twelvemonth he sold the prisoner arsenic upon three occasions. The last time was in Juno. She had a pennyworth each time, which was about 60 grains, and she said that she wanted it to poison rats. Charlotte Thrubsell deposed that she was in Mr. Stubbs's shop upon another occasion when the prisoner purchased some arsenic. Mr. Pittman, another chemist at hustings, proved that upon four several occasions since the autumn of 1848 the prisoner purchased arsenic at his shop. The . last time was about the month of February in the pre ' sent year, and she then purchased twopennyv‘ orth. A witness was then called, who deposed that about three years ago he frequently heard the prisoner and the deceased quarrel. Another witness spoke to hearing the prisoner say that she did not like her husband, and she never should; and she hoped she should pass one year without him. Sarah Benney, sister to the deceased, deposed that in 1846 she accompanied him to the savings bank at Hast ings, and saw him deposit a sum of 20/, there, and the book which had been produced by the constable was the hh, b ienl a B n %d4 k ,r7i . te,nwet l hss n sefs M ou a t rc o h e by the bank.

The whole of the money was given to the prisoner herself. By the COURT—Where they knew the parties the _ production of the savings bank book b y an y member of the family was considered sufficient authority to p a y the money. Jane Brown, a married daughter of the prisoner, e posed fr a e i g n . - e t n htelyre had "t "o r a disputes' posed that after the funeral of her father, the p r isoner said H dec er e" fa ec t i he w r a iSh n ed d he it o o em and then it was to be equally divided between the family. this money. By - Mr. HURST—Prisoner bad been in the habit of purchasing drugs for other people since she (witness) was a child, and people frequently got her to purchase arsenic for poisoning rats, because she was known to the chemists. Joseph Honeysett, the steward of the Guestling Benefit Club, was then called to prove that upon the death of Richard Geering, he carried 51. 33. 4d. to the prisoner, to which sum she was entitled as the widow of a member of the club. The prisoner applied lo him for the money on the same day that her husband died. It was the rule of the club that one shilling should be given by each surviving member. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. HURST then addressed the jury for the prisoner. The Learned Counsel commented at considerable length upon the absence of any adequate motive for the com mission of the crime, and also upon the improbability, if the prisoner really entertained the horrible design im puted to her, that she should have gone openly to pur chase the deadly ingredient from persons who were well acquainted with her. The Learned JUDGE then summed up the whole case, and the jury, after deliberating a short time in the box, expressed a wish to retire. They were not absent more than ten minutes, and at a quarter past seven o'clock they returned into court, and gave a verdict of Guilty. The CHIEF BARON then put on the black cap, and passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, who was re moved from the bar apparently very little affected at her awful position. Messrs. ARCHER and HOLT most respectfully invite their friends and the public to patronise the Nell Uwynne Coffee-room, which has been fitted up in the style of the period in which she lived.

An Entnacce also from Maiden lane. any arsenic for his go's, By the COURT—Dag the week my father was taken ill, my mother put thenner for him every day. Alban Geering saidx am twenty-four years old. The prisoner is my mother. In September last I was not living with my father a mother. My father was very ill in June and July, h did not at that time keep his bed. I saw him when e was taken bad the last time, and he complained cf hyi ng b een s i c k. My father ha d some money in the Eavg's Bank, but I do not r ecollect ever asking my motie t t o l e t me se e the deposit book. About a month after mfather was buried, I ask ed m y mother if he had dravr a ll th e mon ey out of the bank , and she said he had rat, and there was 121 . t here. I had no knowledge thtt here was arsenic in the house. I have heard my brdha.s say there were rats in the cottage, but I never stw any myself. Just before my brother James died, Isav some medicine for horses in his possession. I knew t was medicine for horses, be cause he told me so. Edwin Geering, anothr son of the prisoner, sixteen years old, said that in lecember, while he was sleeping with his brother James,he heard the sound of rats, but never saw any. Mr. John Pocock deptsed as follows—l am a surgeon and apothecary at Witrhelsea, and under a charitable bequest I attend the pcor people of Gurstling profes sionally without any charge. I saw the deceased on the 10th of September. He was in bed, and the prisoner was in the room when I went in The. ap,,peeed was very i...enw0....rj eaboing,..arupsan in tbeAkest and l s tomach. f sent - him &blue pind'an opening mixture, and when I called on the second occasion I found him dead. I treated him for a bilious intermittent fever. The prisoner, after his death, told me that her husband had been suffering from a disorder to which his family were subject ; and, in consequence of her representation I gave a certificate that death was occasioned by disease of the heart and pericardium. There was no arsenic in the medicine I administered. . . By Mr. HURST —I had no suspicion that there was anything wrong in the case. Judith Veness deposed that she assisted the prisoner to lay out the body of the deceased, and, while they were so engaged, the prisoner said it was a disease of the heart that her husband died of. Some months,,be fore the death took place, the prisoner said that her husband was a great trouble to her, and she wished he was dead. Evidence was then given that the body which had been exumed was that of the deceased, and that when the coffin was taken home the prisoner wished the body to be screwed down immediately. John Hawkins, sexton and gravedigger of Guestling, deposed that on the occasion of the burial of the de ceased the prisoner looked out a piece of ground in the churchyard, and wished h m to ask the Rev. Sir John Ashburnham to allow her to have it, as she said she had a large family, and she should wish them all to be buried together. She at the same time requested that her hus , band's grave might be six feet deep, and that a piece of plank should be put over the coffin to keep the earth from it. Four feet was the usual depth of a grave in that parish. By Mr. HURST—Had no doubt that the effect of put ting the plank on the coffin was to preserve it. George Hawkins, father of the last witness, proved that the cost of the funeral, without the church fees, was 21. ss. The deceased and his two sons were buried close to each other, in accordance with the request of the prisoner. Alban Geering, recalled by Mr. HURST—I heard my father say before his death that he should like to be buried in a six-foot grave, and have a slab placed on his coffin, to keep the earth from it. Mr. F. Ticehurst, a surgeon at Hastings, deposed that on the 26th April, he was present when the bodies of the deceased and his two sons were dng up, and he after wards examined the body of the deceased. There was a considerable quantity of fluid in the coffin, and the body was almost swimming in it. The head and face were very much decomposed, but the external portion of the abdomen appeared in good preservation. The intestines were of a pink colour and were not decomposed. The right lung adhered to the pleura covering the ribs. The heart appeared healthy, as also did the liver. The pink appearance of the intestines indicated severe inflamma tion, and he had no doubt that the inflammation was the cause of death. Witness afterwards placed the contents of the abdomen, the stomach, the pericardium, and the liver in a jar, which he sealed, and afterwards delivered to Professor Taylor on the Ist of May. The witness then proceeded to state that upon examining the other two bodies, those of George and James, he discovered .....ioitect in the body of the deceased ; and he said that ho placed those portions of the internal organs which he consi dered necessary in different jars, and handed them also to Dr. Taylor. The witness likewise expressed his opinion that the deaths were occasioned by the exhibi tion of some irritant poison to the deceased. Mr. Tice hurst also deposed that the vomit of Benjamin was like wise given to Dr. Taylor for analysis. The witness then read the statement which he took down from the witnes Benjamin with regard to his symptoms, and it appeared that after describing what he himself suffered, he said that his father and brothers suffered in exactly the same way immediately before their deaths. He added that, upon hearing what Benjamin said, he called to the pri soner and told her that he had just received an account of the circumstances connected with the death of her husband and sons, and he wished to know if it was cor rect. He then read to her what he had taken dowthand she said it was all right. The symptoms he had de scribed were those which would result from the taking of arsenic; in answer to a question he put to the pri soner she said that she had not had any arsenic in the house for twelve months, but said that she used to keep " the stuff" at one time for the mice. On the follow ing day he again asked the prisoner if she was sure she had not had any arsenic in the house, and she said she knew she had not had any for several months, as during that time she had kept a good house cat. Upon a subsequent day a large pill or bolus was delivered to him by Jeffrey, the policeman, and he gave that also to Dr. Taylor. Witness analysed a portion of this pill, and in his opinion it contained arsenic. By Mr. HURST—lrritant poisons were sometimes ad ministered in medicine, and arsenic itself was given, but never to a greater extent than a quarter of a grain, and then always in solution. If a person were to die imme diately after the administration of such a medicine, the in By h y e m b o r d . y c , t f r E o A m s r t — h e T s h m e a ll pilln e s t s o o f w t h h i e c h q u h a e n t referred ty . arsenic, in witness's opinio n , wou ld not b e di scovere d was net such a one as would be made by a medical man. It was a sort of irregular bolus. Mr. Pocock was recalled—He said, I administered no arsenic either to James or George Geering. I attended George for several weeks, and gave him a considerable quantity of mercury. He had, during most of the time, as much as twelve grains of blue pill per day, which would bo equal to four grains of metallic mercury. By the COURT—I am a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. Mr. Duke, another medical gentleman from Hastings, corroborated the evidence of Mr. Ticehurst with regard to the appearances presented by the bodies of the de ceased upon the post mortem examination. Dr. Taylor was the next witness. He deposed that on the Ist of May he received some jars from Dr. Tice hurst, and analysed their contents afterwards. He then proceeded to state that with regard to the organs and viscera belonging to the deceased, the result of the usual scientific tests to which he subjected them was the pro duction of arsenic, both in a metallic and crystalised form. The whole quantity of arsenic which he actually discovered was seven grains; but a much greater quan tity must have been taken, as the whole of the body was impregnated with the poison; and he could not attribute the death, from all the appearances he observed, to any other cause than the administration of arsenic. Witness afterwards subjected the contents of the jar which con tained the viscera of George Geering to the same che mical process, and ascertained the presence of quick silver or mercury, but no arsenic; and he considered it possible that, if the person had lived for some time after the administration of the last dose of poison, the arsenic might have been entirely expelled and have left no trace in the stomach. From the appearances of inflammation, however, that were presented, he bad no doubt that the death in this case was also the result of the administra tion of arsenic. Upun examining the viscera of James he discovered the presence of arsenic, and that poison was no doubt the cause of his death. Upon examining the vomited liquid of Benjamin, he discovered that it con tained two grains of arsenic. He likewise examined and analyzed the pill or bolus that had been referred to, and he found it was composed of arsenic, opium, and some ve getable substance, probably linseed powder. The effect of the mixture of opium with the arsenic would be to deaden the pain and to check vomiting, but it would not in any way prevent the deadly effect of the poison. George Jeffrey, a constable belonging to the East Sussex constabulary, deposed that he was stationed at Guestling, and resided near the prisoner's cottage. On the 24th April, he asked the prisoner if she had got any arsenic in the house, as the mice bad gnawed his peas in the garden. She told him she had not had any arsenic in the house for twelve months. He took her into custody on the 26th, and she then said if she had had any arsenio she should have given it to him, but she had not had any for twelve months, and when she did use it she used to burn what remained before the children came down stairs. The witness then spoke to finding the pill in one of the drawers, and also a savings bank receipt book. Mr. J. G. Shorter, clerk to the magistrates for the Hastings division, deposed, that while the prisoner was under examination upon the charge of feloniously ad , ministering poison to her son Benjamin, with intent to i: _-.'!' > •,.' ,_. -- -2„..--yz...-- - P ---- -- ..--e---e--- - AILL I . •• 1 / 4 - .-.-,..,4- *l \ 4„. ~,t , -, . 7 . .. ."'''. sVI- -6-4/ 'N'..

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—Lewes. Aug. 1. CROWN SlDE.—(Before the CHIEF BARON.) THE GUESTLING POISONINGS. Mary Anne Geering, 49, widow, pleaded to four in dictments, three of which charged her with the crime of wilful murder, alleged to have been committed upon the persons of her husband and two of her sons, by poison, and the fourth imputing to her the attempt to commit the same crime upon another of her sons. The prisoner pleaded not guilty to all these charges. The first case that was proceeded with was that im puting to the prisoner the murder of her husband, Richard Gearing. Mr. Horne and Mr. Creasy conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended by counsel. The Learned Counsel for the prosecution having, in a concise and temperate address, laid the case before the jury, the following evidence was adduced : John Sinden said—l am a labourer at Guestling, and was acquainted with the deceased. Some time last year I was at work with him at Mr. Arckoll's, at Guestling. We were working on the Tuesday, and he was taken bad on the Saturday following. Deceased used to bring his dinner with him, 'and the labourers generally ate their dinners together. At 12 o'clock on the Monday before he was taken ill we had our dinners as usual, and a short time after deceased had eaten his dinner he was taken very sick. We had not had any beer with our dinner on this day. The next day the deceased aLd the rest of the labourers had their , dinner at the same time, and Mr. Arckoll gave us all some, beer. The deceased was again taken ill in the same way after . he had eaten his dinner, and he vomited very much, and appeared very bad. lie asked for seine water, and I got it for him and he drank heartily, but, brought, the up directfy afterwards. It was in September, I think, that this occurred. Before this Tuesday the deceased always appeared in good health, and did his work like the other men. s ill during the harvest, iTo l rk on . only judged he was ill because he did and By s t t a h y e e d i) r a i t s o h n o e m r Po r e e t e e a n s Ci d ay w s a . notEN v y e o t a h mi e a (L e t o o A tt h a pi s T p s said— I remember the deceased being taken ill after he had eaten his dinner. He seemed quite well in the morning, and did his work as usual until he had his dinner. He brought the dinner from home with him in a basket. I called at the deceased's house on the Saturday, and asked the prisoner if he was ready to go to work, and she said. " No, he cannot go to-day, he is very ill, and has been sick the biggest part of the night." Benjamin Leering said—l am a son of the prisoner and the deceased. In September last, I' and my brothers and sisters lived in a cottage at Guestling. There were two bed-rooms and one keeping room in the cottage. Had a brother named James, another named George, another named Edwin, a sister Mary Anne, and two younger brothers named Andrew and Peter. lam 19 years old; James was 26 and George was 21 years old. There were two older brothers who did not live at home. James and George are both dead. James died in March, 1849, and George in December of last year. I remem ber my father being taken ill. I don't know the day of the month, but the last day he went to work was on a Friday, and he died on the Wednesday following. My mother nursed him during his illness. My brothers George and James and myself used to go home to our dinner, but my father used to take his dinner with him, and I have seen my mother prepare it for him. I saw my father on the Sunday. He was in bed, and he told me that he was very ill, and complained of burning heat in his inside, and ho continued in the same state all that day. He died about one o'clock in the afternoon of the Wednesday, and about six the same morning he told me that he was suffering very much, and could not get his breath. I remained with him until he died, and he was buried on the Sunday following. My brother George died on the 27th Sep tember. He had been ill for a month and four days be fore. During his illness he complained of suffering a pain in his heart, and also of sickness, and he constantly vomited, and complained frequently of thirst. My other brother James died in March. My mother nursed them both. James was ill for five weeks before his death, and be also complained of a pain at his heart, and of sick ness, and of suffering from thirst. During his illness I saw him throw up stuff of a green and yellow colour. During the five weeks James got better at times, and then became ill again. I was taken ill myself on the 6th April, and was ill for a month, and I was then taken away from the house. I used to take my meals at home during the time I was ill. My mother used to provide the meals, and pour me out tea and coffee. I suffered from heat and pains in my chest, and used to vomit and bring up the same sort of stuff as I have seen my brothers do. I was attended by two medical gentlemen, named Pocock and Ticehurst, and the latter gentleman took away my vomit to have it examined. It was here intimated to the Court that a daughter of the prisoner was anxious to retain a counsel to defend her mother. The CHIEF BARON said she might do so if she pleased, and he would allow her time to give the necessary in structions. The daughter said that she must throw herself .tipon the mercy of the Court. She had no means to employ counsel. The CHIEF BARON said that all he could do was to ask whether the senior counsel present would watch the case on her behalf. She replied that she should be perfectly satisfied if this were done, and Mr. Hurst consented to act for the prisoner. The examination was then continued—Mr. Ticehurst took away the stuff which I vomited. I was mostly taken ill after meals. I had never experienced such symptoms before. In the keeping-room there was a nest of drawers which was used by all the family in discriminately. After my mother was taken into cus tody the rest of the family were removed from the house, and it was locked up, and I had the key, and if any one went in I accompanied them. We kept a cat before my father's•death, and we were not troubled either with rats or mice. I never heard my mother say that there was any poison in the house, and never heard arsenics looked vermin mentioned. My broth er J ames was a waggoner to Sit John A s hb urn h am.

My father was a mem ber of a burial club, and so was I and my brothers James and George. A book of the rules of the society to which he re ferred was here handed to the witness, and he identi fied it. The material ru l e appeared to be that upon the death of a member there was to be a contribution of one shilling from each of the other members to defray the expßcyai Mr. H se of the funeral. mother seemed very kind and attentive to me during my illness. I was first taken ill ROYAL PA.TRIOTIC SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND. The second ~ .nnual meeting of the Landau branch of this sooleiT, fbr iinpovii - q the condition of the labourinrw ' classes, especially of the Highland fisher men and peasantry, which is under the joint patro nage of her Majesty the QueQn and of Prince Albert, was hell on Tuesday, at the London Tavern ; the Right Han. the Lord Mayor (Sir James Duke, M.P.) in the chair. Among other gentlemen who were present, we olserved Poulett Scrape, Esq., M.P., Thomas Berningham, E• 41., George 11,iin, Esq., Charles Forbes, Eq., Rev. Mr. Ilamilton, James Malcolmson, Esq., Captain Bellew, Charles Macken zie, Esq., of Scotsburn ; Rev. Mr. Fisher, Daniel Davidson, Esq., Dempster, Esq., &c. The LORD Mayon, on taking the chair was very cordially received. He was very sorry that he had been called away on his reaching the Mansion-house (after being at the table of the House of Commons as Member for the City). He had been obliged to go to Guildhall, to hold a Court there, and he hoped that circumstance would be accepted as his apology for having delayed the meeting.—(Hear, hear.) lie wes always very much gratified to have an opportu nity of taking the chair on any occasion where his fellow-citizens thought he would be useful. He re gretted that he had been so much occupied of late that he could not make himself so well informed as he ought to be with the details of this society ; but his deficiency would be made up by 'the more able remarks of many gentlemen whom he saw around him. lie would beg to call on Mr. Forbes to address the meeting. Mr. CHARLES FORBES said that his first office was to read the report of the committee. The report stated that the London branch of the society was es tablished in March, 1848. The committee regretted that the primary object of its formation, namely, that of augmenting the funds of the parent society, had been less success f u ll y carried out than they hilh trusted it would be i .,, lfutu!? .., ye b a i r i v i t ru h,ith( ! ugh ort a possessed by the parent society had been contributed in the south, yet the amount subscribed during the year ending March, 1849, in connexion with this auxiliary branch, amounted to 801. 9s. only; which, deducting the charge for printing, advertising, and incidental expenses, left a clear sum of 501. 9s. 11d.; that as the existence of the parent society depended at this crisis in its history upon the pecuniary aid which it derived from the London auxiliary branch, the com mittee trusted that the current year would be charac terised by more liberal aid to enable it to carry out its highly necessary and beneficial objects. The com mittee regretted that a portion of the fund held by the British Relief Association had not been devoted to the praiseworthy and legitimate object of enabling the parent society, by the extension of its permanent im provements in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, to obviate the destitution which there prevailed, with out any prospect of abatement ; and that as considerable relief balances remained in the hands of the commit tees in Scotland, the committee hoped that while an effort would be made by the friends of the society in the south to enable it to carry out its benevolent agency into the destitute districts without a week's delay, the Highland relief committees referred to would appropriate a portion of their funds to the pro motion of this society's permanent rural and fishery improvements, and not allow the whole of the muni ficent contributions which had been made for the relief of Highland destitution to be consumed, with out securing the germs of future amelioration in the condition of that peaceful and loyal portion of the community. The report concluded by stating that James Matheson, Esq., M.P., was proposed as presi dent for the current year, and returning thanks to the Lord Mayor for presiding on this occasion, and expressing a hope that he would consent to become the first annual president. Having read the report, Mr. Forbes observed that it was unnecessary for him to say anything further, as the report embodied all he could state. He could, therefore only express his own feelings. He believed he was surrounded by those who, without reference to country, wished well to the poor Gael.—(Hear.) The objects of the society were so well put forth in various ways, especially in the Industrial Magazine of the society, edited by their secretary, Mr. Bond, as to show the vast utility of the society. These channels of communication ex plained the amount of destitution which had taken place in the Highlands, which now pervaded the High lands and Islands of Scotland, and which would con tinue unless assistance were promptly given. The case of these afflicted, but patient people, was one which could not fail to excite general sympathy. With regard to the appointment of a president for the current year, he had been requested by the committee to wait upon the Earl of Aberdeen. He had received a communication from that nobleman, couched in the kindest terms, expressing the great interest he felt in this institution, at the same time regretting his inability to accept the office of second president of the parent society. This had led to Mr. Matheson being requested to accept the office, and that gentleman had undertaken it. The CHAIRMAN here referred to letters of apology for unavoidable absence from his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Montrose, the Mar quis of Abercorn, Mr. Matheson, M.P., The Chis holm, &c. The SEC RETAILY read a very interesting letter from Dr. Mackenzie, the honorary secretary of the parent society, detailing the immense amount of benefit which the society's plans had effected in districts where they had been tried, but at the same time con veying great apprehensions in respect to large dis tricts, where the prospect for the ensuing winter was dreadful. Letters also confirming the utility , of the society's measures were read from the Rev. Mr. La mont, of Skye, and the Rev. Dr. API - slay. The amount of destitution appeared to be incalculable ; and from the patience with which famine was endured, the extent of the evil was not known in many parts even of Scotland. Mr. Y. SC ROPE, in moving the adoption of the re port, begged to express the great delight he felt at the contents of the communications which had been read by the secretary, not only with a view to the Scotch peasantry, but because he hoped that the ex ample which had been set by this society would be followed up in England, and extended to Ireland. He had long been convinced that they were all embarked in the same boat as to the object they had in view. Now it was vain to attempt to relieve the condition of the working classes in this country, unless they first relieved the wants of the labourers of Ireland and Scotland, who were compelled to come to England, and deteriorate the value of labour of English work ing people. How was this to be done ? Not by any eleemosynary system of relief, even though carried to the liberal extent it had been. But the best thing to do first was to teach the poor people to be self-sup porting, and to derive their existence from the soil of their own country. They should be taught to culti vate that soil in various ways. This society attempted to convey this principle to the people of Scotland, and he hoped that the example would be followed in Ireland. the object means by which this s ociet y sou g ht to achieve object were various. He believed that in improving the condition of the working classes they recommended what was called in England the allotment system—which gave every man a piece of ground of a quarter of an acre to employ his leisure on. With respect to a higher class of persons, they had heard of the success of Dr. Mackenzie's efforts, who had carried on his plan to a large extent. It had been shown that 500 crofters, as they were called in Scotland, occupying only five acres each, had their cottages improved within three years; their holdings were rounded off and made more convenient, and they were able in the last three years, notwithstanding the failure of the potato caop, to maintain their holding, and they had regularly paid their rent. Now, if this were done in one case, why could it not be done generally ? If it were done in Scotland, why could it not be done in Ireland ? Teach the people in Ireland and elsewhere how to support themselves, and the result would be an increase of the wealth and strength of the country Mr. CHARLES MACKENZIE seconded the motion, which was carried. The SECRETARY, in a very able speech, and a most elaborate manner, proceeded to give an account of the industrial improvements which had been effected in various districts under the auspices of the society. The estate (Gairloch) referred to by Dr. Mackenzie as that on which the improvements had been carried out, WAS the property of Sir Kenneth Mackenzie, to whom the first-named gentleman was uncle and guardhiaan, Under that gentleman's direct ion the black hhiuchts had been replaced by comfortable cottaegecs,, w the estate been built at an expense o f only 51 e a ch, supplying the timber . In order to a sho w that the llighianders did not willingly live in t h e i r present miserable abodes , he would mention an interesting anecdote. Lady Mackenzie was much surprised one day, to see a whitewashed cottage glittering in the sun — for the other s were built of grey stone, and there was no lime in that part of the country. In answer to her inquiry the occupier stated " that he had picked up the shells on the sea shore—had burnt them so as to make lime, and had thus whit ewas h e d his cottage."—(Hear, hear.) He regretted that a portion of the funds for the relief board had not been placed at the disposal of the society, a recommenda tion to this effect having been made by Dr. Mac kenzie,secon_ded by that great and good man Dr. Chalmers. He said that the efforts of the public to PUBLICATIONS. TO TOURISTS.-BLACTS GUIDE, BOOE.S AND TRAVELLING MAPS. New Editions.

DOGGETTS COAT AND BADGE. This old-established annual contest, one of the most popular and attractive of the season, for the livery and badge, bequeathed by Doggett, the famous comedian, in honour of the accession of the family of her Majesty to the throne of Great Britian, took place yesterday. To the coat and badge for the winner, which has gene rally been the introduction to considerable advantages to the fortunate possessor, has been added 41. 7s. 6d. for the second man, and 21. 12s. 6d . for the third, the interest of 2001. South Sea Stock, the .bequest of the late Sir W. Jolliffe. The reader is no doubt familiar with the fact that the race extends from the Swan at London-bridge, to the Swan at Chelsea, against tide; and as the dis tance is one of the most trying character, the young watermen whose term of apprenticeship has expired since the preceding wager have been permitted to use wager boats of the lightest construction they could possibly procure, outriggers, however, being on this occasion very properly prohibited. The weather was extremely fine, and as the time appointed for the start approached an immense number of boats moved towards the spot, and one of the Waterman steamers, which had been chartered for the occasion, was crow ded with company, whilst London-bridge, Bankside, Southwark, and Blackfriars, with the other bridges, and every other place from which a view of any portion of the contest could be commanded, crowded with spectators. Thomas Cole, Chelsea 1 James Arthur Messenger, Teddington ... 2 William Bathe, Queenhithe... ... 3 Richard John Tozer, Bermondsey ... ... 4 Thomas Knolt, Irongate ... 5 Samuel Allison, Tower 0 Although only three were placed, the position of the remainder is given for the information of the reader. The betting had been for some time in favour of Cole, but owing to Wilson, of the Customhouse, having aban doned his lot on Tuesday, and Messenger having the good fortune to obtain the vacant chance, the betting changed; as he was considered, although untrained for the event, by many a safe winner, he having distinguished himself at the Thames Regatta by carrying off the chief sculler's prize against Leach and other crack men. After two false starts the men got away from the Swan under the able management of Dards, the bargemaster of the Fishmongers' Company, who afforded them all an excellent chance, by getting them under way in all but slack water. For an instant they were together, so well was the start effected; but after,q, few, streltes Cole and Messenger went in front of the whole party, the former drawing. pull by pull, his boat clear of his adversary. While this was transacting between the leading pair, the other four formed a most capital run, it being some time before there was any advantage observable worthy of record, the whole being in a cluster at Bankside. The winner kept about a cutter's length ahead of his op ponent to opposite the new Houses of Parliament, when, in shooting the water, Messenger, who had made some determined attempts to overhaul his opponent, again re. peated his exertions, but with even a trifle less success than before, Cole drawing right well away from him, maintaining his advantage throughout, and winning by upwards of 250 yards. There was a much greater dis tance between the second and third, the four last having completely tailed off, and making a distinct race of their own. We understand that the winner's father also ac quired much fame by carrying off this prize twenty-seven years ago. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Last evening, at half-past seven o'clock, Mr. Charles Green being determined to show the public that the lateaccidont to the Nassau balloon was one that had occasioned no injury, and in no manner daunted his courage or lessened his conviction that the balloon was able to ascend with eleven passengers, as cended from the firework-ground at Vauxhall-gardens, in sight of some thousands of spectators, whom curiosity more intense since ;the reported mishap, had brought together to witness the result. The balloon had two cars attached to it, one below the other. In the upper one were Mr. Risley. the celebrated American athlete; Remanded, the well-known equestrian; Mr. Rush, who has so often accompanied Mr. Green in his trips; Mr. Ferrer, who was one of the gentlemen who alighted last week on the house in the London-road; Miss Orme, Miss Forrest, and Mr. C. Green himself. In the lower car were Mr. Henry Green, Mr. R. David, an two other gentlemen. Numerous applications were made by other individuals for seats, but of course they could not be complied with. The balloon was completely inflated, and, notwithstanding the great weight of the passengers, the grapnel and other apparatus, it was no sooner released from the mooring ropes than it rose most ra pidly and majestically, and almost immediately obtained an immense elevation, soaring to the south-east amidst the discharge of , guns, the sounds of - music, and the hearty cheers of the groups who beheld it. This expe riment has tested the powers of the balloon, nor would the late accident have happened had not an immense escape of gas taken place from some mismanagement of the valve. The company in the gardens after the ascent betook themselves to the usual amusements of the place, which was lit up more brilliantly than usual in honour of the event, and music, dancing, and promenading, the fireworks, &c., detained them in the grounds till a late hour. The extensive and valuable Estates of the late E. L. Charlton, Esq., for some -years the M.P. for Ludlow, are, we perceive, announced for sale by auction by Mr. Robins, under an order of the High Court of Chancery. The sale will take place at the Town-hall, Ludlow, on Wednesday, August 29, and comprises several small farms and accommodation and building land around the town of Ludlow, and adjoining Ludford Park, besides a fishing cottage close to the river Teme, the paper-mills near the town, the Ludford Arms, and several houses, with gardens, in Ludford. The property announced for sale forms the unentailed estate of the late well-known gentleman, and being within the Parlia mentary boundary of the borough, added no little im portance to his position, and enabled him to secure one of the seats. The lands are judiciously divided into lots, and from their contiguity to the town will, no doubt, command much competition: CLERKS OF COUNTY COURTS.--AD Order in C.osuno._ cil, published in Tuesday's Gazette, fixes the aid by abriefeesi clerks, of county courts (who are not to,be p n. s _ , .T. can after the Ist October), at 5001. per sepuip , , u, le 3 ii be , shown by any of these that fees has exceeded time aim, ,p -vv, aunt of i PelliFX:Carigeiltsfamouiii average. • , o wi th ad tine . of the salary is to .be' BiLed -I,?* aeld -• _d e 6 relieve the dese ution of the distressed diAriets of the Highlands had heretofore been totally ineffectual, because they only sought to mitigate the evil after it had made its appearance, instead of averting its recurrence by timely improvement. The Patriotic , Society, conscious of this mischievous mistake, wished to apply a remedy based upon principles that lay at the _i very foundation of all permanent national prosperity and safety. It sought to enable the poor to help e themselves in developing the resources of the land and the sea ; and wherever the limited support it hale yet received had allowed its operations to be brought - to bear, they told with effect in districts where they were most needed, They laboured to introduce practicable and better methods of cultivation, end thereby to extirpate the present. wretched era:: and ceteist syetern ; and the society could already point to 500 improved crofts in Garloch, upon which several hundreds of improved cottages had been built under the direction of Dr. Mackenzie, the honorary secretary. An improved dwelling wag already erected on almost every holding, which, mainly owing to its interior arrangements, when compared with the pre vailing Highlend black hut, might be called a palace. Strict regulations were enforced as to rotation of crops and those other arraegeinents which are essential to render small holdings productive. The secret of the success already obtained was , first, intel ligence, system, and energy on the part of the philan thropist and skilful agriculturist whom the soci▪ et y possessed as its honorary secretary; s econdly, the constant supervision of the people by his subordinate agricultural inspectors, who not only directed them what to do, but gave them no peace till they saw it done. Under this system, waste land had been drained, stones dug out, miles of road formed through the holdings, which, at Strath, had a beautiful slope to the bay of Gairloch. There could be seen the cow stall• fed on green crop, as in Hollan d ; the fertili▪ sing c substances i n o of the tank,by r a e n c d a , r e b f y u l t y h e p i r r e s s e p r p v l e i d e a f t from to ;t h e e , land, at a show of roots, held in November, turnips, grown by the crofters, were produced which would have done credit to the Lothians. Last year clover was grown ; and the people found that notthe climate, but their faulty husbandry, was the cause of that bar renness which formerly prevailed, and under which their cattle were usually by spring so exhausted from starvation as to require to be lifted on their feet before they could rise from their miry beds. The timber for the cottages was obtained free from the estate, and 51. was the whole outlay in hard cash upon each cottage. The society wished to promote the introduction of agricultural education into elementary schools; and at Gairloch the honorary secretary had established a model farm of five acres, which the boys en tirely c.alti,atod with the spade. This system of ameliorati on th e soc i ety h as b een i nv i te d b y various proprietors to extend from Shetland to Mull ; and it was necessary to organize auxiliary branches of the society in every village before the social evils of the Highland peasantry could be effectually dealt with. For this purpose, however, funds were wanting; and he hoped that those who were blessed with the means would willingly lend a helping hand in promoting the social redemption of so interesting and deserving a race. The society had also established allotment gardens at Edinburgh, In verness, Portobello, and Perth, and was actively engaged in improving the residences of-the labouring classes in towns, as regards comfort, cleanliness, and sanitary regulations. Another of its objects was to promote the extension of the fisheries, and the safety and welfare of those employed in them ; and it was now engaged in getting up various simple aquatic life preservers, and in digesting plans for extending the fisheries. Having dwelt upon the permanent im provements advocated by the society, such as paro chial farms, fishery and rural improvements, and the cultivation of flax and hemp, as recommended by Mr. AVarnes, he pointed out the unnecessary abandonment in Ireland and in the Highlands of rearing pigs, owing to the failure of the potato, when the Jerusalem artichoke was even more available and valuable as food for pigs than the potato ever was. Mr. Bond said the measures of permanent amelioration to which he had referred required time and at least some little outlay. The condition of the people, however, was such that in a vast number of cases they could not raise five shillings if you were to offer them the world for it. He had therefore been planning minor but immediate resources for his destitute constituents. There was a suggestion which he would take the liberty of throwing out for public consideration, in connexion with the discovery of means for supporting the poor. A large number might be employed in the manufacture of " kelp ;" but kelp could not be manu factured at a profit without a bonus from the Govern ment or some remission of taxation. In the western islands the sea-weed was thrown up in banks six or seven feet high every day, and only had to be spread out and dried. Na capital was required—the fingers of the people were all that was necessary, and that, therefore, was one of the most available means for affording employment. But he c ou ld men ti on o th ers still. On the coast of both Ireland and Scotland cod fish abounded; and all the use that was made of the oil obtained from it by the people, was to burn it in lamps for their cottages. But cod liver oil was a valuable article, being sold at 3s. Gd. the quart bottle in Edinburgh, and at 75., he believed, at Cheltenham ; and by the use of merely a tin cullender, any old woman could extract it from the cod liver. Another article of some importance.was the cranberry; - High land cranberries were highly prized, and the gather ing of them offered another means of employment, and as thousands now confronted in the Highlands with famine did not in prosperous times taste animal food for years together, he recommended the domes tication of rabbits among them, and concluded with an energetic appeal in behalf of the Highland peasantry. a en .l eli former e f r Le h o me N e me then si opgfr year, t p eh o ae s r dowmit with h e i t :thee the of r appointment The e n e n d y t o . n o 3 f l b r t r h . a the i n addition of the names of the Lord Mayor as the annual president, and Mr. P.

Though not a Highlander himself, yet he had great respect for a race of men who in time of great distress had remained loyal, peaceable, and contented ; and he thought they were on that account entitled to the sympathy and active aid of those whom Providence had blessed with a superior lot.—(Cheers.) The proceedings then terminated. YORKSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. LEEDS, TUESDAY EVENING.—To-day has been the first of the annual meeting of the Yorkshire Agri cultural Society at Leeds, yesterday having been occupied with a preliminary trial of implements at Kirsal. At nine o'clock this morning the implement yard in Wellington•street was thrown open for the admis sion of visitors. Rain fell very copiously . during the night, and the morning wore a threatening aspect. These two circumstances not only diminished the pleasures and comfort of the show-yards, but to some extent indisposed many to visit the exhibition durin g the day. Nevertheless the show-yard has not been by any means deserted. The ill effects of an unpro pitious morning were in a great measure counter balanced by an afternoon of most cheering brilliancy. Happily much is not looked for on the first day of exhibition, which is viewed as merely preliminary of the great show of to-morrow, or no very great en couragement would be derived from either the pro ceedings or receipts of the day. The show of implements is, in one respect at least, remarkable—namely, in its extent, which is twofold that of former years ; and it has the very praise worthy merit of displaying a greater regard to prac tical utility than, perhaps, any exhibition which the Yorkshire Society has previously held. The imme diate vicinity of Leeds, and indeed, it may be added, the West Riding, does not, however, seem to have any great proportion of claim to this general commenda tion ; for though contributing to the show some valuable implements, the most conspicuous stands are claimed by distant competitors. At three•o'clock to-day the annual meeting w took o place at the Court-house, but the businreas a formal nature, being the selection , or n re election, of the council of t year and a vice-. tsherasa s president for the ensuing Ilotham, whose place yo a .t ; 1 1- ta o ti f ie place arl is l o e f , Lord w The president for next the presi dent year, it is probab l e, w illsu P w P i l ir th• b e e Lord;Feversham, who, we believe, occupied that distinguished post a few years ago.
