THE CoMMISSIONERS for 247XECUT ING the OFFICE of LORD HIGH ADMIRAL of .he UNITED KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and I RE AND hereby give Notice, that on THURSDAY, the 19th 'i ll _unust next, at One o'clock, they will be ready to treat with !.eb Per sons as may b e w illi n g to Contract for supplying her najesty's several Dock Yards with experimmits, which were principally made on the Liver ' pool and Manchester Railway, were very numerous and varied, and amongst the most important results were the following :—That a very large proportion of the resist ance encountered by trains in motion is as the square of the velocity. With respect to the high resistance of the air, contrary to the opinion given - in the report, Mr. Ron del afterwards stated that this was 'veryeOnsiderable, as on the Southampton Railroad it had been known to delay the arrival of the trains for half an kour. One import ant result which the Report arrived at was, that it would, if correct, be found advantageous to the introduction of railways into hilly countries. According to the Report it appeared that a level, to obtain which many difficul ties had to be encountered, was no advantage over a*Fra client of 16, 20, or even 25 feet per mile. The subject, it was resolved, should be reserved for future inquiry and discussion. In the afternoon the Marquis of Northampton pre sided at the ordinary at t)evonport, and the Earl of Morley tit that in Plymouth.. The former has accom modation for 165 at the tabThs, and the latter for 397. Each ordinary was well attended, and the usual .. toasts. were given. TRAIN AND PALE SEAL OIL.

TAINE.—(SECOND NOTICE.) In our notice of the Mesmeric exhibition which tOik place at the Queen's Rooms, Hanover-square, on Thurs day last, it was mentioned that M. de Lafontaine in formed those of his visitors who were disappointed by the crowded state of the theatre on that occasion, that he would upon a future day afford them an opportunity of witnessing experiments, the same as those which he was then about to perform. Monday was accordingly fixed for the repetition, and at three o'clock nearly two hun dred and fifty ladies and gentlemen, mostly persons of rank (to judge from the crowd of liveries and the number of emblazoned carriages which stood before the doors), were assembled in the second concert room—an apart ment much larger than the theatre of the previous exhi bition. There was a better ♦entilation, less heat, and consequently a more satisfactory opportunity of witness ing the expected repetition, than could have been enjoyed in the observation of the original experiments. These, however, were varied and abridged on this occasion by incidents, far more interesting to the curious than agree able to the sensitive. CROWN OFFICE. Ara. 3.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that. tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the Wiles, putting on all the oute r a pp earances of c onsumption, which, * however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is ne member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent. a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching t a premature rave, in conse- quence of some disease, wh in ich, o for p want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, takes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com efiisnedd, a u c ri l l u e e s s to the guidee vil rn through arrested in p t r h o e p e i r a time tr t . e m H a e z e will r e rn this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.

WILKINSON'S PAI gTI - CORROSION REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to 54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street, Cheapside. J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbo wish to paint their houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven tive to damp or sea sprit, in exposed situations; it will not blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences, farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as lommon paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves sels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no other colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal allowance to the trade.

Immediately after the arrival of the 72d High landers at Windsor, her Majesty commanded the attend ance at the Castle of the performers on the bagpipes at tached to the regiment. At first the instruments were played on the New Terrace and in the Quadrangle, but were afterwards brought into the interior of the Castle by the desire of Prince Albert, who was but little fami liar with such music. The performers, however, ac quitted themselves to the entire satisfaction of his Royal Highness, and the result has been that he has presented a very handsome suit of new uniform to the bagpipe major, in testimony of the superiority of that person's performance. There aro six performers attached to th• regiment, who on ordinary occasions act for the en tire band. Soon after three o'clock, M. de Lafontaine presented himself upon the platform, introducing a young lady of delicate and bashful appearance, who took her seat in the patients' chair. A perceptible sensation, or, if we may so say, a silent murmur, pervaded the assembly, which to us was expressive of a sympathetic shrinking from the trial anticipated, of witnessing so gentle and engaging a creature, subjected to the harrowing and (at least appa rently) cruel ordeal which the principal subject of the previous day's operation underwent. The gentleman, who had before acted as interpreter, then came forward and was received very kindly by the audience. He repeated nearly as we have already re ported the cause of his interference, and his own impar tiality upon the subject, which this company was assem bled to investigate. He proceeded to sketch the history of Mesmerism, with less detail than upon the former occasion ; but adding, in answer to a statement that no great names in science could be found in the list of those who favoured Animal Magnetism, that Cuvier, Laplace, Humboldt, and several others, whose names we could not catch, had expressed opinions in its favour.— (Much applause.) He was disposed to agree with those who found fault with public exhibitions of the nature of that which they were now to witness.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the experiments should more fitly be pur sued in the privacy of the philosopher's salon, or in the hospital. Yet he must ask, what was to be done ? When the experiments were made under such circum stances, there was raised a cry of " fraud, folly, delu sion."—(Hear, hear.) No other course, therefore, was left to those who believed that , the alleged phenomena did really occur, and that the appearances produced were not the result of charlatanism—than to bring the in vestigation fully before the public, in such a manner as to subject the facts to unquestionable exposure, or con firmation.—(Hear, hear.) With that view he suggested that if any lady or gentleman should, as happened on Thursday last in the other room, choose to submit to the operation, no objection would be raised to the publication of the name and address.—(Hear, hear.) It would be but justice to themselves. the public, and the question.—(Hear, hear.) If they should be found sus ceptible to the mesmeric influence, they would be sus pected of collusion, unless the observers and the public were informed who they were, and were thereby satisfied that they had no connexion with the exhibitor.—(Hear.) The young lady in the chair had been already once mag netised by M. Lafontaine, but with little effect : but he believed she was susceptible of the influence • and here he had to observe, that the reality of the influence was not to be disbelieved merely because all persons were not susceptible of it ; nor even the same persons at all times. (He was very much applauded throughout a very neat' and eloquent address.) The young lady was then subjected to the usual mani pulations by M. de Lafontaine—that is, pressure of the knees, palms of the hands and thumbs, accompanied by a fixed gaze of overwhelming intensity. In three minutes she sank into a state of apparent insensibility, while the Professor tested by sticking pins into her head and hands. (A lady exclaimed, " That is very cruel.") She did not shrink in the least, or exhibit the slightest degree of feeling. But M. de Lafontaine said that she was only partially insensible —in the hands, head, nose and chin. This he illustrated by thrusting pins into the parts he named, and leaving them so ; whilst he tested other parts which by a very slight quivering manifested some degree of sensibility. The assembly gave very evident tokens of their sensi bility during the experiment, by sighs, sobs, and mut tered cries of " shame." The Professor then applied a phial of highly concentrated ammonia (the strength of which we can vouch for) to the patient's wise ; and al though to our observation she did not wince in the least, the Professor said she was still sensible in a small degree and he would make it more palpable. This he did by applying a lighted lucifer to her nostrils, when she very feebly shook her head. Some gentleman here laughed ! When M. de L. gently retorted (in. French) "you see-though, that when she does feel, she, shows it" —(Applause)—" but we shall see more." He . then manipulated further, passing his hands downwards in a supine position, smoothly, but with great energy, within a few inches of her body, from head to foot. He then satisfied himself (how we could not guess, further than that he gazed upon her intensely) that she was insensible, and he held lighted lucifers, one after another, until three or four were burnt out, close to her nostrils, and, to our amazement, her flesh did not blister, nor did she wince or move a muscle. Loud cries of " enough, enough," induced the Professor to desist ; when he was requested to restore her, and ask how she felt. On her restoration we understood her to say with great cheerfulness (but in a low tone, and in French) that she had felt nothing. The youth, who had been the subject of the last day's operations was now introduced. It was remarked by those around us that he looked pale and anxious. We thought so too ; and the subsequent interruption of the experiments was possibly occasioned by previous illness, as much as by the fact to which M. de Lafontaine attributed it, and which, if there be any truth in the established doctrines of this school, would be sufficient to account for the interruption. Hav ing quickly reduced him to insensibility, M. de Lafon taine made certain movements of his hands in front of` the youth's legs, from the hips down, and they rose from the ground gradually, and as if mechanically, until they came upon a level with the seat, where they remained in a horizontal position, rigidly extended and fixed, without tremor or oscillation, for the rest of the hour during which he continued under experiment. In the mean while the pins were stuck deep and numerous into his head, hancfs, cheeks, lips, and thighs, without producing a twinge. A Gentleman observed, that no blood issued. M. de Lafontaine, with some indignation, pointed to one hand from which the blood was streaming, and then withdrawing one of the pins from the thigh, said, "If you wAnt to see blood, there' it is," and held up a large pin of the kind called " corkers," which was red with blood to about half an inch from the point. This exhi bition produced a universal shudder, strangely accom panied by universal, although suppressed, applause, elicited, we must suppose by a painful conviction that no deception had been practised. A protracted, confused, and unintelligible discussion then took place, of which the object seemed (as we could guess) to be to settle the question whether the youth only feigned or was really insensible. A number of gentle men crowded round the operator and the subject, putting questions altogether ; in bad French, and in English of a mixed character, and wrangling (in greater zeal than discretion or good manners) with one another, and with the Professor, as to the result of their own experiments, which, by crowding and confusion, they prevented the company at large from appreciating. In the course of this disorder a gentleman applied all his force and might to one of the rigid and extended legs of the poor patient, for the purpose of trying, as it would seem, whether he could press it down. The Professor exclaimed in alarm, in which all but the unreflecting experimentor partici pated, " My God, you will break his leg I" and then pushed aside the thoughtless medler. The latter retired to his seat amidst hisses and cries of " Shame." This incident broke up the party of disputants, and the space in front of the chair being cleared, it was an nounced that great difference of opinion existed as to the state of the lad's pulse some gentlemen having affirmed that it was imperceptible, and others that it was at 80, which, in his state of health, would be the natural condition. We understood the explanation to be, that the mesmerised condition was interrupted by so many opposite wills or temperaments operating on him at the • same time ; and that those who felt his pulse at one time found him in a different state from that which he had been a minute before, when his wrists were held by the others. His hands and arms were all the time extended, rigid and motionless, as were his legs, and remained so, when he was for a few minutes restored as to the head alone. He then said that he had felt nothing but a slight headache, and a pain, for the seat of which he pointed to his groin, which was considered an indication that he had been hurt by the force applied to his leg. He was again rendered " somnambule ;" and the inter preter said that as the youth had been supposed to res pire when the ammonia was put to his nostrils, an am monia would now be applied to him, of such a strength and in so exact a manner, that if he had respired during former experiments he would never respire a Oer this one. The experiment was conclusive as regarded ammoni but several gentlemen proposed snuff as a surer test, an applied it copiously and carefully out of their own boxe They laughingly expressed their surprise that it pro' duced no effect whatever. A gentleman who, on being required to give his nam said, " My name is Jackson, and I am very well know at St. Bartholomew's Hospital," asked if the Professo would be able to magnetise the young gentleman, a render his arms rigid, while he (Mr. J.) held them ? ,114 de Lafontaine replied in the affirmative, saying he could do so without touching the patient. A tedious and unmeaning discussion (which was carried on in such F rench that it was necess ar y t 9 interpret it to M. de Lafontaine), was raised by 8(136 gentlemen who were repeatedly requested by the audi ence to speak English. At length Mr. Jackson's exile= riment proceeded. The patient, having been awakened, that gentleman took him by the arms in a manner which caused some resistance, and the exclamation " You hurt me." Mr. Jackson at length raised the arms per pendicularly above the head, and, the passes being per formed, insensibility was :renewed. The young man's arms became rigid as one jointless bone, and descended ( n otwithstanding the utmost resistance of Mr, Jackson a muscular and vigorous man) nearly to the horizontal, when De Lafontaine interfered, and withheld Mr. Jack. son, saying that he would break the arms, as they were tense to a degree of brittleness. Many persons now ut tered strong expressions of disapprobation, of which Mr. Jackson was the unmerited object— for what he did was, SQ far, perfectly justifiable and right in our mind. On the resuscitation of the sleeper, M. de Lafontaine asked the usual question, " How do you feel ?" The poor youth, with an expression of painful anxiety, said he had headache and excessive heat. M. de Lafontaine said that the lad was ill, in consequence of an ascertained law in animal magnetism, that the patient suffers by any strong resist ance exercised by a third person to the will of the ope rator who has magnetised him. The patient intimated that such was his feeling, and he seemed to become so ill, that the company with one voice begged he should be taken away. He was subsequently brought back, for the purpose of undergoing the galvanic and .electro magnetic experiments (described in this paper on Friday last), and took his seat in the chair with a smiling and cheerful, but very pallid countenance. The com pany, however, would not allow this operation to , be attempted; but unanimously cried " Enough, enough !"- M. de Lafontaine bowed assent, and then pointed to a large stain of blood upon the back of the lad's trowsers, saying expressively, " I did not do that." —(Great indignation.) The interpreter observed, that It was evidently done by some . gentleman who wished to satisfy himself as to the genuineness of the insensibility, by sticking a pin* severely into a part of the patient's person, which would not be seen by the patient, or any one in supposed collusion with him. He hoped the gen tleman was satisfied.—(Hissing, and cries of " Shame !") The young gentleman bowed to the audience, and retired amidst loud expressions of sympathy, and even of regard. • 'The most curious part of the day's proceeding now commenced. It was announced that some gentlemen were desirous of submitting themselves to experiment, and the explanation was repeated, by way of a caution, that all were not susceptible. A lady stood up and said, " I hope you will magnetise Mr. Jackson, and not spare him with the pins."—(Great laughter.) Mr. Jackson, who scarcely merited this spiteful wish, was not inclined to gratify it ; and another gentleman (about twenty-four or twenty-five years of age), placed himself in the chair amidst some applause. He was perhaps as resolute and bold-looking, as well as strong and healthy, as could be selected from such a company. M. de Lafontaine said that he did not expect to produce much effect on such a temperament in a first experiment. However, in one minute precisely, the gentleman's nerves gave way in the distressing struggle, and after a convulsive and pain ful resistance sank into a state of insensibility, which at first seemed as profo u nd a nd " somnam b u l e " as that of the habituated patients; but after a few seconds, and be fore the amazement of the audience had subsided, he made some convulsive movements, which induced the Professor to take off his neckcloth, and open his shirt collar. At the request of some gentleman near the chair M. de Lafontaine proceeded to revive him, and when he seemed to be in a state of sensibility he was asked, did he feel quite awake ? He answered, with a smile, that " he was not sure ; but he would try if he could walk." He was lifted upon his legs, but found that he was not in the least master of them, and sank again into the chair amid s t muc h l aug h ter , i n w hi c h lie gol•humouredly joined. Some manipulations by the Professor seemed shortly to have the effect of restor ing him:perfectly to the possession of his faculties and bodily powers. leing asked what he had felt, he said -he had not been quite unconscious any part of the time. He had felt as if he were about to faint. Upon this a gentleman exclaimed, "Of course you were !" And we concur in the opi nion which the exclamation implied, that any man in the same circumstances would have fainted, and that so far the experiment proved nothing. The gaze of the operator, and the constant and varied motion of his fingers before the eyes of the firmest and best-nerved man in the world must bring on fainting—at least, it must come to this, if the gaze be mutual and continued, one of the two, the subject or the operator, must give way, one of them must swoon. In this case the volunteer swooned in one minute after a manly and resolute effort to keep up. In reply to the general call, he gave his name as "Baggot, of Queen's College, Cambridge." Another gentleman then volunteered in the same man ner, and, being apparently a more nervous subject than the last, was received with some degree of alacrity by the lecturer, and placed in the chair without preface. Contrary to all expectation, however, this gentleman held out much longer, and with apparently less effort than his predecessor. He was, however, overcome, and so completely that M. de Lafontaine, with out the least hesitation in the world, put him to the test of the pins ! They were stuck in his head, cheeks, and hands, apparently without affecting him, and left as carelessly as if he were fully initiated in the art of mesmeric endurance, and accustomed to serve the uses of a pincushion. M. de Lafontaine, however, was not yet satisfied of his insensibility. He said he can feel a little and I think he can hear, to provewhich he fired a per cussion cap close to the gentleman's ear, and applied the ammonia to his nostrils. We observed no sign o f sensation, but the Professor said : "You see he feels a little, and hears." The patient, however, being aroused from his stupor, and questioned on the subject, said he had " not been quite insensible—he had heard the dis charge of apistol, and had felt pins p r ickin g hi m b u t very slightly ' '— (Laughter and applause.) He gave his name as Mr. Greenwood, of Peterhouse College, Cam bridge. Itis scarcely our province to offer any opinion upon the facts which we have witnessed, and if it were, it would• be a duty to withhold it for further consideration, believing that not one man who has yet observed the phencimena is in a condition to explain them, or to say whether they result from reality or delusion. Future opportunities may also enable us to enter into a question alluded to by the gentleman who acts as M. de Lafontaine's interpreter, as to the dif ference between natural and magnetic sonnambulism, which it is preferable to waive for the present, admitting, in the meanwhile, t!tat utter insensibility during the state of natural somnambulism has been proved by nume rous and historical facts, and that there seems little rea son to doubt that the so-called magnetic somnambulism exhibits the slime phenomenon. " From wharwe have since heard it would appear that a lancet was secretly thrust into the thigh, and that the loss of a large quantity of blood, by this cruel and cowardly experi ment was the cause of the youth's illness. The appearance of the trousers would warrant the opinion that such was the case; but if any thing to that effect was stated, the confusion that prevailed prevented our hearing it. In the ill-judged and in decorous crowding—upon which we remark above —such an act might have been committed without observation ; and it is to be hoped that it will induce gentlemen in future to abstain from the indulgence of such disorderly zeal as was manifested on this occasion. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 30.--The seve ral sections commenced their meetings yesterday morn ing, and the attendance at most of them was very good. They all broke up at an early hour, as is usually the ease on the first day of meeting. Our Correspondent (see The Sun of Monday) has already watched and noticed the proceedings down to Paper 4, read in the C. section of Geology and Physical Geology, upon the destructiveness produced by pholas at ,I'lym.th. We resume at ''..l. 1: Seetsin D.—Zo o l o gy. an d lotany.—Dr. Ri c h ar d son, t r resident, in the chair. Mr. J. E. Gray, F.R.S., rea d a report on the geogra phi ca l distribution of the animals of New Holland. There are, it appears, 94 species of mammalia. There are only two species and two genera of the ferre or carnivorous beasts, as the dog and seal. There is only one known beast in Norfolk Island, which is supposed to have been introduced from Sydney, espe cially as it is not known in Van Diemen's Land. Mr. Couch made a report on the zoology of Cornwall. Amongst other interesting f ac t s , h e stated, that what might be called severely cold winters did not occur more frequently than in cycles of six or eight years. The appearance of the bat might be witnessed in every week of an ordi nary year ; but if the thermometer fell below 40 degrees Fahrenheit it was a signal for their retreat, although a milder temperature restored them to activity, when it was not uncommon to se e th em the whole clay. Another proof of the mildness of the climate was, that the long taired field mouse breeds at the beginning of January, forming its nest in the ricks of hay, and that fishes then posit spawn. H e stated Cornwall as containing • 4 s es of birds, and 173-fishes, and made an addition tkOnumber of testace - ous and molluscous animals and znopytes. Professor Henslow made an interesting re port on certain diseases in wheat. He particularly al luded to one which was confused under the name of red guni, prod iced by an anima,l and was called the wheat midge, and was the larva of a gnat, that deposits its _ o _ vl c l in tlie unripe ears of corn in the months of May ni . June.

These The first general meeting of members was held in the evening at the Town-hall, at Devonport, which had been enlarged for the occasion by the erection of a temporary vestibule at the front of the building. The numbers pre sent exceeded 1,200, including all the rank and fashion of the vicinity. Amongst those on the platform were the Marquis of Northampton, Earl Morley, Lord Ebrington, M.P., Lord Adair, Lord F. Egerton, Sir Themes Dyke Acland, Bart., M.P., Sir Charles Lemon,' Bart., Dr. Bowring, M.P., Mr. Gill, M.P., &c. The Rev. Professor WHEwELL, The President for the year, having taken the chair, proceeded to address the meeting. He stated, that he had last year been elected to this honourable office in his absence, that he had been a labourer with the Association ever since its first meet ing, and felt a high interest in its success. He would first take a slight sketch of the general aspect of the Association, which so generously lent its aid to science in all its appliances. In Lord Bacon's " Vision of Atlantis " he had framed institutions of every order for the welfare and benefit of man—colleges, establish. ments, and associations forpromoting the intellectual com forts, the welfare, and the happiness of man. He should be glad to see realised all the colleges and benevolent intentions of this Utopia, but instead of a temple of Solomon being supported by the State, they must have a Britis" A Isociation4pporsed by themselves. Th, Association-had now existed for ten years, end al though it did not possess colleges like those alluded to by Lord Bacon, it had performed experiments which no nation, however rich or learned, could ever unaided hope to reach. It had not employed professors or inter preters of nature, but it had found, both here and abroad, active cultivators enlisted in its service, of which no institution could hope to get so many. Mathematicians, astronomers, chymists, and naturalists had all come for.. ward to aid in its cause. Since the establishment of th© Association it had judiciously laid out•upwards of 7,000/. in the prosecution of scientific objects; through its re commendations the aid of the Government had been en listed to several subjects of scientific interest. With re gard to the Ordnance surveys, their recommendation that they should be published on a scale of six inches to the mile, instead of two inches, had been adopted ; but their greatest achievement of all was the survey of the terres tial globe, undertaken by means of fixed observatorie a in all parts of the world. He could bear his testi mony to the liberality with which the Government had acted upon all occasions to the Association. When he pointed to these results, he could not but say that those who established it acted upon a knowledge of the exige cies of the country. Sovereigns; and nations, and wealthy indiiiduals had deemed astronomy worthy of their patronage, and provided costly instruments for the purpose, but „none had considered the wind, the tides, the atmosphere, electricity, magnetism, and even vege table and animal life ; but for these they would not call upon the Government, as they had . already - been under taken by this voluntary Association. Mr. Wes we n f ur . ther advised that the storm of opinions, en which the best and wisest differed, were to be avoided, and a solemn piety Ted in their elevated pursuits, in the stead of con troversal metaphysics and religion. SATURDAY MORNING, July 31. sec l 'al business commenced yesterday mos.:llles ittri4 at eleven o'cl oc k. P a p ers i n severa l sect i ons were ree d' , but that of chief interest was perhaps the fellowin_g':—ln Section G.—Captain Taylor, of her Iliaje4tY's ship San Josef, read a communication on floating breakwa ters. The subject of prOtection to the harbours of this country was one of very great importance, particularly as the Commissioners appointed by Government had pointed out the desirableness of having three harbours of refuge on the western coast. This would involve an expense of at least 6,000,0001., which at once nega tived the proposition. There were no les s th an 250 harbours round the coasts, all of which re• quired protection. In the course of last year, 500 ships were wrecked on our coasts, whilst 1,200 lives were annually destroyed, and the annual loss was about 3,000,0001. sterling. On the score of humanity, there fore this subject deserved cons id erat i on, and Captain Taylor was prepared to prove that a floating breakwater, made of wood, might be constructed for at least a fiftieth part of the expense of a solid breakwater. Nor was a floating breakwater liable to many of their objections of the former, and it had been found in many parts of Ply mouth Sound the mud had accumulated to the depth of five feet. A breakwater on this principle was about to be laid down at Brighton, so as to make it a harbour. In the evening a soiree was given at the Town -hall in Devonport, which was very well attended ; and Mr. Chatfield, of the Dock-yard, gave a lecture, with illustra tions on ship-building, demonstrative of the launch of the Hindostan 80 gun ship, which will take place Oa Monday. To-day none of the sections meet, as the whole of the members have joined the excursions to some of ;he inte resting localities in the neighbourhood: • SATURDAY NIGHT. ACCOUNT OF THE EXCURSIONS ITP - THE TAMAR, &c. The excursion up the Tamar was Inade in men-of war's bonts ; in those of the San Jcsef, Caledonia, and Impregnable. The party svae Small in comparison to that which visited the mikes beyond Tavistock, the latter consisting of nearly two hundred ; the former between sixty and seventy. Six boats contained us all, and com fortably. We embarked at eleven o'clock at the New Passage, where the steam ferry bridge plies. Up the Hamoaza we went in capital style, viewing with pleasure the wooden walls of old England all around us. Next we commenced the beautiful river scenery of the Tamar, looked up the St. Germans, and glimpsed the Tavy, leaving Graves end and Thankes (the property of Lord de Lisle), and Anthony (belonging to Mrs. Carew), on the left. A little higher up is schedule A —or Saltash, looking dila pidated, which we attributed to its privation of ancient privileges, but were told it was now in a most flourishing condition in comparison with its state when it returned the Hon. -Member for Saltash. The women here are well skilled in aquatic exercises, that is,. they are clever and practised oars-women. A prize is annually given during the regatta, which takes place next week, to be pulled for by the female boatmen of Saltash. Pentilie Castle and grounds present a fine object We first .landed at Cotehele, Coteil, or Cothell, a property belonging to the Edgecumbe family, and walked some little distance up to the ancient castle of the Coteils, where Charles 1., Queen Elizabeth,-Queen Anne, George 111., and others of Royal blood have sojourned: It is accounted to be of about the time of Henry 'VIL How real antiquarians would revel here. We had but one amongst our party • and he knew n o t h ow to l eave each relic. Chairs, tables, cabinets, oak, ebony, and yew, with the most complex arrangement of secret drawers, doors, locks, keys, dogs (of which, in Queen Elizabeth's room, there was a beautiful pair in brass), carvings, candlesticks, snuffers, glasses, metallic mirrors, &c., attracted and rivetted his attention on all sides. It did one's heart good to see such thOrough enjoyment; but not much Jess re was that o f most of the party; there were one or two that walked through the rooms with almost se vacant stare, yet, thinking it necessary to make„scze when anything was pointed out, utteret with tapes funny, that is funny!' Every room is g. u and sub jects of try, from ceiling to floor; the colours a nd .tsreinvearrik really bea utiful and curious; to examine all the beauties orne which are well preserved. But all weeks at least. of Coteil, however, would occupy .were and cu riosities with one of a corresponding angle side of a steep slope, forminga deep dell, thickly wooded, the boughs walked through s the w ood s on the From the castle we opposite,. , th mos t picturesque manner, and Meeting interlacing zn down to a small shapel„ built on a rock over event on to Calstock, passing the every g Re -embarking, we ov f erhanging the river. woods of Coteil, which magnificent and useful trees. ve y r a h eri a e n 7 g a in no g enormous ah c i h co es tnut and other orn amental We landed at Calstock , and much enjoyed from that ele; rat spot the view of the Morwell rocks and the beauti fuled surrounding scenery, the winding river. &c., return.. _ ing to the village to dinner. Everything cold in. the form o f meat, poultry, pastry, &c., had bee n provided, and laid out for our attack : our appetites had n o t b ee n destroyed by our excursion, and we set to work i n r i ght good earnest. The weather on our return was squally ; w e B .4 ed back, and with the exception of once sticking on A mud bank in the middle of the river, covered at hi:pi ' water. where we might have been obliged to repair until the next flood, we 'reached, and were landed at Admi ra l' s Hard, at Stonehouse, without accident. I,bout seven o'clock in the evening. The party to the mines returned uhout the same time, Everything that could be was Shown to them. Mr. De la Beche explained the geolo.kical, and Mr. Taylor the mechanical peculiarities or. their route, and at the mines, for raising, crushing, Scc. ' the ores. Several w en t d own into the mine, by which their appearance Was not im proved. We have heard nothing of the excursion to the Eddy stone and Breakwater, but the weather not being real July, we should think the party must have been any thing but a party of pleasure.
