As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity of the powder to produc e th e d es i re d effect, BEWLEY, FISHER, an, CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other Medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is recom,nended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner vous habits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diff use d th roug h o t the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and sense of oppressi alter meals, and restoring the tone of the stomach. Its utility is also m an if este d as an ad j unct to other medi cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and other aerated or Mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic Property.

Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the Profession, have strongly recommended Lactucarium (the in‘pis Bated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To in-rease its efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and demulcents, and have adopted the form of a lozenge as being the Most agreeable mode for its administration.

But will our gracious Sovereign meet Across St. George's waters, With warmer heart, than those which beat I❑ England's sons and daughter.. And when she views, with beaming smile, The scenes which there a vait her; Will she be weaned from Al .ion's Isle, And think Hibernia greater? Much will she see in that famed part, But when her visit closes, Will she have seen a greater Mart Than that of Messrs. Moses ? In Trowsers, Coats, and Waistcoats, too, Will Ireland's shears or needle Shame Moses' Mart, which stands in view Of Aidgate's pari4l beadle?

Diffidence, or a once of right determine the former, and miscalculate,l hopes ern. oltter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret .. sornprosisur hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness And social content. The dowry should not tae the only marriage set -.lament. Honour and iustice demand that health should form an item In the cemact; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

The Right lion. the First Lord of the Admiralty, with the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Rear- Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., M.P., and Mr. Secre tary Parker, M.P., returned to the Admiralty on Thursday evening,from their official visit in the Light ning steam tender, Master Commander Petley, to the Channel Islands. Their Lordships left Cowes on Monday afternoon, and arrived at Alderney next day. They la!,ded, and went round the island, and then proceeded t, Jersey, and steamed into every bay and nook around that island, and inspected the new works there, attended by Mr. Walker, C.E. They then proceedtd to Guernsey, and returned to Portland, where they inspected the breakwater works, convict prisons, &c., at that place, previously to returning to r , ,wn. The Lightning proceeded to Portsmouth n ar bi arr. TILE TRIALS BETWEEN THE BASILISK (PADDLE) AND NIGER (SCREW) STEAM-SLOOPS.--These vessels uut to sea, from Devonport, on Wednesday morning, but the Basilisk returned to the Sound in the night, and the .Nig( . l. on Thursday morning, and both sailed for Portsmouth at 3.30 P.M., arrived at Spithead early yesterday morning, and went into harbour at eleven o'clock. They did not see anything of the Royal yacht squadron. As the Niger carne out trona Plymouth she saw a large steamer to the west ward of the Rain Head, which might have been one of th.! war steamers of the squadron. The trial be twuon these vessels is not yet concluded ; for the prin cipal feature has not yet been tested—viz., the trial against a strong head-wind and heavy sea, the fine weather they have hitherto had affording no oppor tunity for such a trial. Both vessels steam remark ah!y well, but generally the paddle vessel under steam alone_has had a slight advantage in speed, about half a knot per houi over the screw, especially when drawing a light draft; when deep in the water the advantage is not so much. On the other hand, under canvass, and in ordinary circumstances, the screw heats her op ponent nearly a knot per hour; both vessels are, we iinderstani, fine wholesome ships, and steam and sail remarkably well. The Basilisk has gone along side the coal-snip to complete fuel; and the Niger will also up, and, probably, proceed again to sea on Monday; but that defends on Admiralty orders. The Ajax, 60, screw steam liner, was to have gone out to try her engines at Portsmouth yesterday morning, but her trial will be deferred until Monday. She is down to her load water line, and draws 23 feet 1 inch att. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Robert Fitzroy, left Lisbon, on the morning of the 24th ult., fbr Spithead. The Dauntless, screw steam-frigate, .1,500 tons burden and 580 horse power, was taken into dock at Portsmouth on Tuesday. She is to undergo exten sive alterations ; her stern frame will be taken out, and she will be lengthenel soma nine or eleven feet. This Is rather expensive work, more especially as she is a new frigate, never tried at sPa; this alteration, which will, it is supposed, cost 3.0001. or 4,0001., is expected to increw;e her speed at least one knot per hour under ste:im. The Pvcenix, 6, screw-sloop, Commander Wode house, arrived at Devonport on Wednesday night. She has some detect in her funnel, which will be put ro riglvs by this evening, when she will sail with the mails for the coast of Africa. The Ve.:uvius, 6, steam-sloop, in charge of Master Attendaw Bellaoiy, arrived at Pembroke, with the marines, Sze., on Wednesday. The Persian, 12, sloop, Commander Bullman, will be detained a few days longer at Woolwich A Halifax paper, dated June 19, has the following paragraph :—" The admiral in her Majesty's ship Wellesley, is, we understand, about to leave this pert, on a cruise to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Newfoundland, with a view to the investigation of the state and prospects of the colonial fisheries. The flig.ship has, we believe, been preceded by small vessels, suited to the purpose of entering those coves and harbours of the coasts from which the fisheries are chiefly prosecuted. The Noble Earl appears to be untiring in his endeavours to ascertain the extent of our maritime resources and to promote their de velopment. With such objects in view, he cannot fail to be accompanied in his efforts by the best wishes of every• true-hearted colonist." The Noble and Gallant Earl has sent the Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren; the Bermuda schooner, Lieutenant-Com mander Jolly; and the Vixen, 6, steam sloop, to the divisions of the station named, and is now about to visit them himself. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—A court-martial, compri sing Rear-Admiral H. Prescott, C. 8., President, Captain Chads, C. 8., ot the Excellent; Captain Yates, of the Illustrious ; Captain Purcell, of the Superb ; Captain Blackwood, ot the Victory ; and Mr. George L. Greethain, Judge-Advocate of the Fleet, assembled this morning on board the Victory, to try Joseph Payne, a private of Royal Marines, belonging to the Blazer steam-vessel, just paid off from the coast of Africa, on the following charges : " For that he, the said Joseph Payne, when a private of Marines, and borne upon the books of her Majesty's ship Blazer, on the Eli of February last, was on the said day drunk and incapable of doing his duty. Also on the said 6th of February, whilst on the quarter-deck of the said vessel, did use certain disgusting language to his Commander, Lieutenant Smith ; and also did threaten the life of Mr. William George Aldridge, Second M as t e r, and the petty officers who conducted him below." heCourt havingat the he prisonerardthecase ha i d n tsoupapnoergteoin h of the is charge, rt and what defence, and having maturely deliberated upon and n4dered the whole, was of opinion that the charges had been fully proved, but in consideration of the ',mg and rigorous confinement endured by the priso ner since the commission of the offenses, adjudged him only to be mu!cted of all pay and prize -money due to him in the service, and to be imprisoned for six calendar months in the county gaol at Winchester. The Lightning steam•tendr returned to port last evening frotn the Channel Islands,- having landed Sir Francis Bring, First Lora of the Admiralty, Rear. Admiral Deans Dundas, Mr. Patker, and Sir Charles Wood, at Weymouth, on their return to town. The Basilisk and Niger experimental steam• vessels, under the command of Captain Horatio Austen, C. 8., having been ordered to return to port, came in here this morning, and returned to harbour. There is .iuch a division of opinion as to their respective merits, or which has the superiority, that we decline to pub lish the reports. The Fire Queen steam yacht has not accompanied the Royal squadron, but, together with the Elfin dis patch-yacht, remains in harbour. The Dreadnought, seamen's Hospital- ship, and the Hermes are in the East Docks. and all the agricultural reports are most satisfactory. The Cork Reporter of Thursday says-- - " A gentleman called at our office this morning with some potato stalks, which had been what is corn manly called blighted.' About a fortnight ago some of the leaves assumed the appearance of blight —became brown and rotted. The owner of course, thought, as many others have done, that his crop was diseased, and would be destroyed, but was agreeaLy surprised some time afterwards to find the diseased' stalks throwing out new and green leaves. These shoots are still growing, and although the blighted' ones, which appear to have been struck by lightning, remain on the stalk, that is perfect and sound. We rather fancy that a similar attack in other cases .has, been the cause of ' the panic' that is prevalent among certain parties, who cannot believe that the crop can be, sound, or would desire that it should not be so."

A public meeting of the members of the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society was held at Exeter. hall On Monday evening; C. Lushington, Esq., M.P., in the c air. The Cuairtmax in opening the proceedings stated that he had attended there in compliance with the re quest of the committee of the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society, and also according to the wish expressed in a - requisition placed in his hands of certain inhabitants of Westminster, most resp-ctably signed, and that by per sons of every phase of political opinion, which was an indication that the meeting did not partake of the slightest particle of political feeling, and that its objects would be di scuse d i n t h at grave and st ricus manner beeorning a su bj ect d eeply affecting the inter e-ts and welfare of the community at large. Wfe n the deputa tion from the Alleged Lunatic.' Friend Society wait. d j s e t e a t t , e d a n t , h l a t t h abt e b e n hat on l very (i ntoitttle undertake, upon him t o request his presence at the meeting, he acq lainte ,,,' d .i, s h vit t h he th m e s u u lt b i . tarions object s i n wh i ch he was .' engaged, to decide upon any fixed opinion on the. subject, but he thought it was one which ought t o b e b rought before Parliament, It g i was three w e ek s s i nce h e had seen those- 1, and he had been so muc h engaged with his Parliamentary and other d ut i es , t h at he had not been up for the o ccas i on , li e trusted, therefoa;e e thatto read h re.d should be excuse d i t his address were' sil ort e and it he abst a i ne d f rom giving any decided opinion, but , at the same time, from what he had read regarding the existing lass upon lunacy, he was satisfied they were very defective. When certificates could with so little difficulty be .obtained, by which a person could be con. signed to an asylum in the case of an apprehended or alleged lunacy, it certainly was a dangerous state of things, and requited some further intervention. lie also perceived that when a person was so consigned to an asylum, he or she was denied the advantage of consult ing any friend, or of having the counsel of any legal ad visers. These were abuses which undoubtedly required to be remedied.—(Hear, hear.) Then he thought that the proprietors and physicians of the establishment, how. ever respectable they might be, possesaed a power of abusing their trust, and that power was not sufficiently guarded against. He could not imagine any case so wretched and so horrible as that of a person of a nervous and anxious temperament, whose mind might be slightly affected by some domestic or afflicting event, finding himself confined, separated from his friends and rela tives, denied all communication wi.h them, and with those he bad been in the habit of consulting, and com pelled to a.-soci ate with lunatics and pee 'ens who have been adjudged incompetent to conduct their own affairs. —(Hear, and cheers.) When he contemplated the misery of persons so immured he confessed that tie felt the deepest sympathy with such individuals, and he entertained the most anxious hope that legisla tive remedies might be applied, and that every possible exertion should be used to prevent them from being made human sacrifices. He had happily never known tri instance in his own family of any such real or pre. tended visitation, but when he contempla , ed that a nervous person, perhaps fluttering as it were on the very bounds of insanity, could be thus circumstanced, he felt hat it required their best attention, their de , pest sym pathy, and the greatest p.issible precaution should be ~ x erted to prevent these abuses. He understood there were upwards of 30,000 lunatics in England and Wales, .5,000 of whom were private patients confined in private asylums; the remaining 25 000 being in asylums pro vided by the public, were no doubt properly taken care of, and he trusted that very little abuse occurred in these public asylums. The object to which the attention of this society was more particularly directed was to pro vide a safeguard against the undue confinement and the ill-treatment of the 5,000 persons in the private asylums. Dr. Conolly had sent him a pamphlet, relative to the case Nottidge v. Ripley, but he did not agree with the opinion the Doctor had there expressed, although he had the highest opinion of his talents, for he did not think he had given that attention ho might have given to the too great facility of placing persons in confinement, or the temptation, from pecuniary interest, in continuing he confinement after convalescence, and the cruelties too often practised, but had relied too much upon the !eelings of those "delicate friends" who had placed persons in those as)lums, perhaps actuated by selfish considerations. He thought the supervision of these private asylums, as at present conducted, was not suffi cient. Mr. Purnell, the Chairman of the Magistrates of the county of Gloucester, who had visited several asylums in that county, had discovered various abuses, and had explained many points upon which improve ments were urgently required, and amongst many cases was one of a Mr. T. C. K., who was confined warty months, at the instigation of his own brothers, because those brothers wished to enjoy the property belonging to the alleged lunatic undisturbed and utimolested, lie had since been released, by the authority ot the magis trates, and was married to a lady, from whom, by the machinations of his relative, he had been temporarily separated, and he was now living with his wife, perfectly calm and rational, and in the lull enj a meet of il,ruestic happiness.—k Cheers ) He (the Chairman) was happy to state that the Law Amendment Society, had decided t hat the having investigated the subject, lunacy law was very capable of revision, and that that re cision ought to be carried out as soon as possible. One of the remedies they proposed was very simple, It was this—that when an individual was placed in an asylum under the charge of lunacy, his property should not re main under the control of those persons who placed him under restraint, but that it should be entrusted to cer tain publicofficers, which would obviate many of the evils of the present system. He thought this en excellent rule, and be trusted, when considered in Parliament, it would he duly weighed. In conclusion, he hoped those gentle men who followed him would make such observations and employ such arguments as would satisfy the meeting that the law regarding lunatics required to be amended and improved. The lion. Chairman sat down amidst loud cheering. Joust YERCITAL, Esq., proposed the first resolution as follows:—" That the present laws of lunacy are highly detective; that, under these laws, persons may be secretly seized and confined as lunatics, without any opportunity of defending themselves, in a mariner contrary to every principle of constitutional freedom and justice; and that acts of the greatest aggression and cruelty have been, and are still, committed in lunatic asylums, in conse quence of the imperfect system adapted for super intending the same." He explained the present state of the law, by which persons might on the authority of two and sometimes of one cer tificate from a medical man, be torn from th e i r houses, without any respect for ;heir persons or property, not by the . fficers of justice, but by hired servants, em ployed by the proprietor of the asylum to which they were consigned.—(Hear.) Any stranger had it in his power to act thus towards a man. He would not say that there were not occasions in which strangers should interfere, but they ought to begin by taking the person accused before a magistrate, and giving him an opportu nity of explaining his conduct. But, at present, althou;h the law required two certificates to be signed by two me dical men, yet it allowed, under special circumstances, one to be sufficient to get a party to an asylum, when another medical signature could be obtained under the influence of the proprietors of such asylums, and thus might a British subject be deprived of his liberty, and placed in a mad-house, the law thus operating in such a way as to render the second certificate valueless. Atter alluding to several cases which have already been pub lished in the reports of the Gloucestershire magistrate: in their inquiry into the management of the li' Captain ispo home n d Asylum, Mr. Percival referred to thec atase o f Bath on one Dixon, who had been taken fro m his country to en asylum, where another cer tificate, and carried across th e' certifier and certificate were readily ob tained ; but upon a writ of habeas corpus being sued out, be was immediately discharged by the physician as a sane man, but only to be entrapped and re-confined on two certificates, regularly obtained. One person had been deprived of his liberty through the contrivance of his wife to prevent his pub licly denouncing her proved infidelity. Another gen tleman, from a difference with his wife, was by the latter, for that cause only, placed in a lunatic asylum ; but it was at Dr. Munro's, who, being a wealthy practitioner, would not submit to any unfair practice, and he ulti mately determined upon liberating, this gentleman. A gallant captain of the navy, then present at the meeting, was also dragged from his home under similar circum stances, and carried away to an asylum, where he was kept for some months, until a relative threatened to in dict all the parties for a conspiracy, when lie was re leased. Mr. Percival read a very interesting letter to show the perfect sanity of this officer, from the Rev. Thomas Bissett, rector of Addiscombe, and chaplain to the college. The secretary of the society, Mr. Bailey. had suffered nearly five years' confinement in five private asylums, having been passed or transferred from house to house, not because be was mad—for if he had been it was the duty of either of them to have kept him—but because he had been the means of stetting other patients discharged, and was, upon the 'whole, very troublesome. He was at length sent to Fairford, in Gloucestershire, and the only ground alleged against him was, that er _ e . was the first discoverer of the principle of h a e tme e s r pb.., !- railways. Mr. Perceval warmly eulogi i sed mi t agi lt atrateo a f ward Legh Bennett, a clergyman, i :st d h liberation, arid Gloucestershire who procured of the commis sinners it with the conduct him. strongly contrasted refused to in lunacy w h o had . .cli he (hear re The great principle forno Englishmanwhi should be con finedcival) contended was, that access to his legal advisers in the, without having Englishman should b e judged beh i nd n his back. lie did hope that the magistracy' ~t England would no throw on the Com missioners in Lunacy t h e responsibility. longer of discharging pati ents, and • which, from their quick transitory visits, they were ill qualified - to perform; but that the magistrates would on their visits to these asylums scruinize and investi gate the cases of the patients themselves ; and, following the steps men of the women of quiet, mild demeanour, who had a spark of int.llect left, by releasin ,, teem buffet that spark to be fanned and nurtured in the world, rather than to crush it and for ever extinguish it in asylum. LUKE JAMES HANSARD, Esq, seconded the resolu tion, which seemed to him to be the whole pith of what could be said for the society. It was a sad state of affairs when a man was liable to be seized upon the grounds of some mere temporary excitement, and carried , 0 a madhouse. Yet any individUal in that room was liable to it.—(Hear, bear.) The best mode of deter- A NEW DISCOVERY. 1 - R.

It is a long time since this arm of the port defence was noticed, but all the time that has been unnoticed has been employed in improvement in their various evolutions and exercises. During this week they have been exercised in gunnery outside the harbour, and on Wednesday evening we witnessed some target practice that few artillerists could match. This bri gade consisted of 100 men, distributed intofour boats, each commanded by an officer, and armed with a 24- pounder ; the whole being under the command of Major Davies, Master-Attendant of the Clarence-yard, Gosport. On the above evening the squadron went out to Spithead, and, when abreast of Southsea Castle, a cask on which was fixed a flag was sent out, and moored at the range of 150 yards. The first shot fired carried away the fisg-staff; the second struck and sunk the cask. Another cask was immediately put out, and by the time the ninth shot (from the com mencement) was fired the cask was sunk. No more casks having been provided, a cork " fender " was moored out, and this, too, was riddled at once. Com ment is almost unnecessary, but we cannot forbear eulogising such excellence in gunnery, when we know the materials out of which the boat brigades of the dockyard battalions have been constructed. Major Davies is a master of 20 years' standing, and saw some ball practice last before Acre. Wind, N.E.—Light airs and hazy weather. CHATHAM, AUG: 3 —The Melampus, 42 guns, Captain G. H. Mason, from Bombay, was towed into this harbour yesterday forenoon by the Pigmy and Advice steam-vesseld to be paid off. The Melampus struck her topsails, and commenced unrigging during her passage up the river. She is alongside the Hussar hulk to complete her dismantling, and delivering her stores, previous to being paid off. The Meeanee, 80 guns, lies alongside the Bos cawen, 70 guns, dismantling for being paid off. She is a beautiful ship, built of teak, and a very excellent Tie Phaeton, new ;0-gun frigate, constructed by Mr. Whit e , of Cowes, Isle of Wight, being ordered to be brought forward as an advanced ship, was towed up from her moorings at Folly Point yesterday morn ing, and she is now moored abreast the dockyard for the convenience of fitting her. The Juno, '26, making good defects, and fitting for commission, will be undocked next week, and she will he ready by the end of the month for the pendant. Wooi.wic a, AUG. 3.—The Flamer steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jones, left Woolwich in the afternoon for Greenhithe, to have her compasses ad justed, and will then proceed to Holyhead, to remain at that station as a reserve mail steam- packet. The Minx ste4ln-vessel went down the river today on an experimental trial with a screw-propeller abaft of the rudder, on a plan submitted by Mx, Simard. PROGRESS OF THE ROYAL SQUADRON. CIIESILTON, THURSDAY.—The Queen's fleet, bound for Ireland, was observed late last evening steaming away to the westward in excellent style. The Royal yacht had cleared the Bill of Portland befure nine o'clock. She was well out at sea, probably eight or nine miles distant. The weather was all that could bewished e f f or t , he andtraip throughoutbriglmoon fa th v e oured the con tinuancesteamers were clove in the w a ke of the I Albert. The appearance o f th e sq uadion at that late period of the evening was mos t unex p e cted, as it was night. Two steamers and w o generally supposed that the royal yacht would have put into Portland Roads or Weymouth Bay for the night. Her Majesty's ship Lightning arrived off Portland in the early part of yesterday from Guern sey, with the Right Hon. Sir F. Baring, First Lord of the Admiralty; the Right Hon. Sir C. Wood, Chancellor of the Exchequer ; Rear-Admiral Dun das, and Mr. Parker, the Secretary of the Admiralty. Their landing immediately at the works of the break water led to a belief that they had arrived either to receive her Majesty in the event of her inspecting this great national undertaking, or to join the Royal squadron. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Lords of the Admiralty remained at Portland, and after minutely inspecting the works of the intended breakwater for the Victoria Harbour of Refuge, Portland, as it will be called, left by the last train of the South-Western Railway for. London. EXMOUTH, DEVON, TuunsuAL—The master of the Waterwitch, from Bordeaux, which brought up in the roads this morning, reports passing the Queen's yacht and the steamers forming the Royal squadron, between eleven , and twelve o'clock last z night, to the southward. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY' NlGHT.—Anxious inquiries have been made throughout the day respecting the progress of her Majesty's squadron to Ireland, it being expected, even if the Royal fleet did not run into the Sound for fuel, that one of the packet steamers would put in to signalize the dockyard authorities. To the surprise of all, however, nothing was heard of the progress of the Royal fleet till late to night, when it was ascertained that the 'Victoria and Albert, with the accompanying war steamers, had passed some miles outside the Eddystone: lighthouse, in the early part of the morning, at daybreak. By the mail this evening from Falmouth we learn that her Majesty's yacht was off that place about 5 o'clock, but a considerable distance out at sea. She, no doubt, spoke the Basilisk and Niger steam-frigates, which passed the yacht later in the morning, lower down channel. The weather was very fine, with a good breeze from the northward. From the circumstance of the squadron not putting into Falmouth, it is pretty certain that her Majesty had determined to proceed direct to Cork. The distance from Osborne to Falmouth is 200 miles, which was accomplished in little over 13 hours by the Royal yacht, and in the event of its continuing at the same speed, her Majesty would reach the Cove of Cork by eight o'clock—perhaps sooner—this even ing (Thursday), 12 hours before her expected arrival. The mode of saluting the Queen on her arrival will form a very imposing scene. A squadron has already assembled at Cove, comprising the Hogue screw guard-ship, 80 guns, Captain M`Douall ; the Arrooant steam-frigate, 46 guns, Captain R. Fitzroy, the Dragon steamer, 6 guns, Captain W. Hall ; the Ganges, 80 guns; the Trident steamer, 3 guns; and the Lucifer, 2 guns. These vessels are anchored on each side of the channel. The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Commander Cooke ; the Sphynx, 6 guns ; Stromboli, 6 guns; the Vivid (mail steam-packet), the Banshee, and the little Fairy are to be stationer in a line with the others, and salute the Royal yacht as it advances up the centre of the channel. IRELAND. THE QUEEN'S VISIT. DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNlNG.—Although not yet officially announced, it is generally understood that the Levee will be held on Wednesday next. Her Majesty, it is said, will proceed in state from the Lodge in the Park to the Castle, the royal carriage to he drawn by eight horses, and the streets lined by the military along the line of quays up to Cork-hill. During.the Queen's visit to Dublin she has intimated it to be her gracious pleasure to visit the principal parts of the city. Her Majesty, end as far as she car. influence, the entire royal suite, will appear in dresses of Irish manufacture. Nearly all the leading met. cantile houses of the city have given notice that their establishments will be closed on Monday next, and also on the day of the review. With respect to the latter pageant, applications to post and job master:, for the hire of vehicles, made so far back as the earl) part of the week, have been altogether unsuccessful— not a horse, or carriage, or jarvey, of any description, to be bad for " love or money." The Cork papers announce that— " Lord Bandon has received a communication from the Lord Steward of her Majesty's Household, to in fortn him that all deputations presenting addresses to the Queen on board her yacht are expected to appear in uniforms or in Court dresses. With respect to civic bodies, the civic robes of office will be a sufficient distinction." The Cork Constitution has the subjoined programme of the arrangements for the Queen's reception in that city : "On to-morrow our harbour may expect to be visited by the first Sovereign of the British dominions that ever appeared within the county . of Cork. The arrangements for her Majesty's reception, considering the brief announcement of the honour to be con ferred, are exceedingly extensive. In Cove, a marine villa is in course of erection on the Columbine-quay it consists of a base and upper story, forming two rooms of 60 feet by 40 each, which are tastefully fitted up. In this building it is expected her Ma jtuoe s rw t e y na t wwillil Island, r l h e a c v e ea i v ni e tc: t sfl h aa e nge i t d ia d on r nd e st on ne o f tahl t t h ee e re a i v n tei h io) a in b n igot the f ts F name Friday of Cove t o Q ueenstown. Every eminence around the the houses and the hills around will be illuminated, as well as -the yachts in harbour. On Saturday her Majesty will come up to the city in the Fairy tender, and land at the northern quay of the Custom-house. Here accommodation is provided for one thousand spectators, besides officials, military band and guard cf honour. A jetty has been erected outside the quay, the length of the Fairy, with a flight of steps, to enable her Majesty to come up to the platform at low water. At the southern quay of the Custom-house, the carriages of the Earl of Bandon and Viscount Bernard, M.P., will await the arrival of her Majesty and royal suite. On landing her Majesty will be saluted by a guard of honour of the Cameronians, the band of the 12th Royal Lancers playing the National Anthem. Het Majesty will precede the cortege, having on either side of her carriage, on horseback, the Lord-Lieu tenant and High Sheriff of the city, and will be fol lowed by the Mayor in a carriage, the high sheriff's cirriage, and two carriages with - the royal suite. On taking their seats in the carriages they will leave the yard through the southern gate. These will be fol lowed by civic and military authorities on horseback. Her Majesty will proceed along Lapp's-quay to Anglesea-bridge. Moving along the western road, Ler Majesty will see the great gable of the Examina tion-hall, and the royal tower of the Queen's College, and at the moment she passes her statue will be placed on the apex of the gable of the hall. The moment the Queen and her Royal Consort come in front of the college the sustaining wedges will be removed by the architect, and Mr. John Butler, the builder, thus, midst the loyal cheers of the people, commemorating and handing down to future generations the never to-be-forgotten event of the regal visit to Cork. The progress of the work would not allow of f er th ve e removal of the scaffolding; however, it will to exhibit th e R o yal standard waving 'high in air' over the statue of our Queen, and under it in gay colours the beautiful banners of the various trades employed in the building. Passing along to George 'V.'s bridge the next triumphal arch, one of the Ro man order, will app-ar, and it is hoped that her Ma jesty on arriving at this point may be induced to drive along the new road to Carrigrohane Castle, and crossing the bridge, return by the Mount Desert-road. Having re-crossed the Lee by Wellington -bridge, her Majesty will return to the city along the Dyke. Having driven through- Ivlardyke-street, where a festooned arch is erected, her Majesty will again pass through Great George's-street into Patrick street. At the entrance to this street there is another trium phal arch, and midway a second. At Patrick's an Italian arch, decorated with Blackpool ginghams, will have a pleasing effect. The Royal party will from this proceed along Merchant's-quay, Warren's and Lapps-quay, returning to the Custom-house by the Southern-gate. Here her Majesty will re-enter the yacht, and having received the addresses of the cor poration, the county and city, return to Cove and get on board the Victoria and Albert, and in the evening put to sea for Dublin. The Cork Steam Company send two vessels to sea on Friday to meet the Royal squadron ; and the River Steam Company will have six steamers on the river that day and Saturday. It is understood trains will run every hour on the Ban don Railway." Tsui HARTMIT.—The weather continues splendid, A LEAP FOR LIFE. As the supervisor of inland revenue at Aberyst with, Mr. J. Miller, his nephew, and two professional -..Tentlemen, geologists, were last week examining some strata of rock in the cliffs between Aberystwith .mod Llanrhystid, they proceeded along a narrow ledge of projecting stone on the face of the cliff, about 120 -eet above the level of the sea, which providentially happened to be at full flow. In passing round a projecting angle, " which for ages has frowned on All below," the professors an i the revenue dicer had rounded the point, and the young man was in the act of doing so, when the rock suddenly breaking from under his feet he was whirled round i,h his face towards the sea, and as he descended he seized with one hand the ledge beneath his uncle's feet, whilst he extended the other hand to him, and it was firmly clasped by the revenue officer, who held him suspended for full five minutes, during which time he with great difficulty main tained his position, there not being more than six inches to stand upon. At length a breathless pause ensued, whilst Mr. Miller gazed on a rugged projec tion of rock about 90 feet below them, and on which he concluded the unfortunate youth was inevitably doomed to be dashed. But the uncle (who calls him self "an awful coward") at length said, with all the calmness imaginable " Tom, there is but one way for it ; I'll save you, or we will both perish together," and, with a firm voice, he commanded the young man to loose his hold of the rock, which was mechanically obeyed, with a faint reply, " Yes, uncle." At this awful moment Mr. Miller horizontally sprang into the air, carrying the young man with him ; and such was the force with which he leaped, that the check caused them to perform several summersets over each other as they descended linked together. With the rapidity of a flash of lightning they disappeared be neath the foaming billows, having cleared the craggy ledge, which projected more than six feet from the perpendicular of the point orer which the youth was suspended. To the delight of their companions, who were momentarily horror-struck, they rose about twenty yards Apart, buffeting the heavy swells of the flowing and returning waves ; at length they struck out for a rock that lay about seventy yards in the sea, on which they were shortly seated, and from which they gave three hearty cheers. Their companions attempted to procure their rescue by obtaining a boat, but owing to the breach in the ledge, found it impoa bible, and had to proceed onwards for more than three hours before they were able to extricate themselves. to their delight, the geologists then found that their brave and dauntless companions had once more com mitted themselves to the deep, had swum to an acces sible part of the cliff; and returned to Llanrhystid, where, with the exception of the loss of hats, the officer's boots (which he had taken off in first start ing on the ledge), and a few slight cuts and bruises, they appeared not a whit the worse from their perilous adventure.— Welshman.

He contended that no man should be put into an asylum who was not danger ous to himself or to others. J. MILLER, Esq., supported the resolution. He said he stood before th e meeting as an alleged lunatic; and he proceeded to s t ate the _ extr aordinary circumstances under which he had been arresteda ssuehue had some sears ago connected himself with a religious denomination which brought him into contact with a converted Jew. Differing upon some polemical question, the Jew went out and introdu ce d a d octor who had a per: centage upon all he sent to lunatic asylums, So much For " county money," and a yearly allowance as long as he was there kr pt; and he nut knowing the bead doctor bad discussed with him some of their religious opinions, and was then asked to exhibit his tongue. He was by the doctor at once pronounced to be insane. A keeper there upon entered and took possession of his par !war, and when he threatened to use th.- roker in i jeceing torn, at :en o'clock at n'ght, the keeper celled in a number of his ll.ovs, and he was placed in is straight waistcoat and told to be" quiet.," us if such treatment were not enough to make any sane man mad.—(llear, bear.)

He would a-k them to imagine his feelings uudt r such eir cumstanceF. ‘.‘ hyo unless ain in had immense nerve such treatment would drive tom med.

Ile sent tor his own ph) sician, who, atter a prop , r examination, pro nounced him pertecils sine. The end of it alt wits, that he one day took a walk out widi his keeper Emit led him into his solicitor's office, who quickly discharged him, and ordered him at his peril turiher to in terfere. His interview with his solicitor led to a trial in the Court of Exchequer, when he obtained a verdict and 1001. damage s. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. GILBERT BoLDEN, Esq., the solicitor to the society, moved the second resolution:—" That a petition be pre ' seated to the House of Lords and the house of Coin mous in the next session of Parliament. praying for a Committee of Inquiry into tho laws of lunacy, with a view to the amendment of the same, and that the peas' tion now read be adopted." The petition was a tran script of the first resolution. Mr. Bolden stated that the importance of the , utij; cr, arid the abuses perpe trated under the present state of the law, w,,re daily un folding th mselves. and he was glad to see the di,cus- Sion that had arisen in censequeaco of the judgment of the Lord Chancdlur iu the case of Messrs. Au.tina, and of the opinion of the Lard Chief Baron, in the cause Nottidge v. Ripley, so energetically expresed by his Lordship—" That per, , ons ought not to be confined in lunatic asylums who are not dangerous to themselves or to others." Mr. Thilden, reading from Dr. Conolly's pamphlet, showed to what an immense extent of abuses and evils these medical epinions and practice must ultimately le,d, and commented very severely on the assertion that, " if the judges, members of the bar, and members of the press, would take the trouble of visiting asylums more trequently, they would all derive useful and weloom- information from opportunities which would be everywhere cheerfully afforded them." Now, however pleasing this aught sound in the public ear, it was disingenuous in the highest degree, for Dr. Co nelly knew well that, excepting his own asylum, every other asylum would have been shut to any such appli cation, tither from the bar or the press, and that with double force. The liev. RICHARD KING, a clergyman from Dublin, in seconding the resolution, stated that he thought the present law qui.e hied- quate, and advocated, at some length, the csse of a lady ut property who was detained in an asylum. He exhitited some. beautitul specimens of needlework, the production orthis highly accom plished lady, the mistress of several languages, who was m e t i e a n r e t p d, t upon be t) but si m gpie i o s i s bo t r us(rjtti. religion.--(hear, k , sstiai which s q sthi u i n sh d ba e od t v t t n er g h showed nas e cs r rpi for tuneebceid: in needle-work, in Italian, end English, and stating various proofs of her sanity asked whether it was right such a woman should be deprived of her liberty ? THOMAS STURGES, Esq , surgeon, supported the re scilution, and stated that the bounds of perfect sanity and of insanity were much more obscure than the world ge nerally thought, and gave some data by which, in his opinion, necessary restraint might be decided upon. With much feeling he warned his brethren of the profes sion of the various injuries arising to a person being placed in confinement. It was often, in the case of men of busi ness, the total ruin of their circumstances, and the loss of self-esteem and confidence, forming a considerable bar against their advancing themselves in their future career of life. It were, therefore, better that cooling medicine, change of air, end some and every means and remedy should be resorted to for the purpose of restora tion to sanity previous to any attempt to"{ire a person in en as) lum, leaving confinement as Abe last resource, when all other means have tailed. The very shock produced by isolation and confinement has often totally bereft those of their senses who otherwise might have been only temporarily affected. The next resolution was moved by J. C. SEARLE, Esq., barrister, as follows:—" That the detective state of the law c,f lunacy, and the abuses and evils practised on all ged lunatics, having been most effectively exposed, and redress afforded in several cases by the magisterial influence of the county of Gloucester, the thanks of this meeting are due to the chairman and the other visi , ing magistrates of asylums in that county for their zeal, perseverance, and humanity in pres, cuting the inquiry and acting upon it in the energetic and benevolent man ner they had dor e." In proposing this resolution, Mr. Searle stat, d that the visiting magistrates of Gloucester shire were most excellent udmintstrators of a very bad law, and that but for their exertions the case of the unfortunate Ansties would never have been brought to li ht, as the Commissioners, who uatst have frequently ' visited the asylum, had never taken the trouble to in boyfulorirelee g th e a t d ° lun acy calcy7l.

Mr. Selby expressed a strong desire that public attention should be aroused to the subject before the next session of Pat liarnent, and that each person present in his own sphere should co-operate with the society and the public in the endeavour to obtain an amendment of the law, which was filling the country with receptacles for the insane, the greater por tion of which, there was good ground to conclude, were accused most unjustly and injuriously. Captain DrcuY, It N., shortly seconded the resolution. and stated that he bad not found the asylum at Hilling don to be the paradise that Mr. Dlylne, the Commis sioner, had represented it. In support of this resolution, Mr. PERCIVAL read extracts from a petition presented this session to the House of Commons from Samuel Doubleday, E.q., detailing various abuses alleged to be existing in a certain lunatic asylum. The resolution, having been put, was carried unani mously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was adopted by acclamation, and the me , ti.,g separated. .431.1-S P • _ . INCENDIARISiII AT CREDITON, DEVON. About five o'clock yesterday morning, some miscre ant set fire to a linhay, which covered a thrashing machine, belonging to Mr. Philip Francis, of Moore, about one mile from the town of Crediton ; and, homestead, and ultimately to the dwelling - house, un fortunately, the fl a mes soon extended to the whole which, with some immense stacks of wood, soon became one burning mass, and sent forth such a volume of flames, that even the apple trees in an orchard adjoining, could not withstand the destruc tive element; nothing now remains but their charred and broken trunks. '1 he agent for the Imperial Fire office tells us, that he has witnessed very many alarming fires in Crediton, but none that could in any way be compared to this. The loss occasioned is esti mated at 1,5001. Mr. Francis is insured in the Sun Fire-office, but, we fear, to nothing like the extent of his loss. Much sympathy is felt for him, as his farm may in all respects be considered a model one, as he has always been one of the first to embrace any im provement in agriculture, though he still maintains the good old practices of his ancestors in respect to the hospitality of his table, which we have heard all classes praise. He is one of those, however, who have availed themselves of the use of machinery,ot which the labourers believe is the main d cause o f fhe want of employment, and not the vereye origin of i in of the har vest of' last year; hence, no doubt, h 12 houses were town about three weeks ago, middleof the night; for almost tire, and very probably that which happened in this burnt down in the fleld behind, stands a barn con tainingadjoining them, in a chine which is, however, so a thrashing-ma when and walls as to be difficult fenced in with high gates . . from its proximity to the houses, of approach, though, any one would have thought it was impo s iibl e f or one to have been burnt without the oth er ; and i t is now remembered that some old people looking on said, the machine was the cause of the fl con agration, as they had heard it loudly cursed. e attention was, 1 • on was, however, at that time paid to what said, but now those farmers who have threshing machines are getting quite alarmed, and some of them, it is said, have received h • t reatening notices. It is a singular circumstance connected with the fire at Mo re, that a fox had em d aher nest under one of the stacks of wood, though so near the farm-house, and one of her cubs was observed attempting to escape, but was pursued and taken alive ; two others were found literally roasted. DEPARTURE OF TRH DUCIIEFS OF KENT.--Fier Royal Highness the Duchess of K.'ut left townyi”terday for Tonbrtdge Wells by the South-Eastern Railway. Her Royal Highness, attended by C o lonel Sir George Coup , r, &c. &c., arrived at the London -bridge station at a quarter-past one o'clock, and was received by two of the directors and Mr. Herbert, secretary to the South- Ristprn Railway Company. The red cloth was spread along the platform, and the royal carriage placed in readiness to receive the illustrious visitor. Mr. Brown, dir.ctor, and Mr. C.
