T O TAILORS anti DRAPF RS.—An eligible opportunity no'v offers to any one with moderate capital de sirous of commencing either of the above trades in on. , of the chief provincial cities. An income of 2,0001. per annum has been cleared up to the decease of the recent proprietor, and which could be easily and considerably increased by an energetic man of business. There will go with it an agency for the sale of NICOLL'S PALETOTS, and other patented goo Is, manufactured exclusivly by Messrs. Nicolls, 114, 116, 120, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill, London. For full particulars personsl ap dication should be made at the counting-house department of the above firm, between the hours of Eleven and One. ANOVELTY for the approaching season is in preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114, 116 , and 120, Regent .street, and 22, Comilla, as al;o THE TREBLE Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered G and 7 Vic., cap. 65) in its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible from a warm to a light Overcoat, or Vice versa, at the pleasure of the wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in this variable climate. THE NECOLL has been secured by Royal Letters Patent in ENGLAND. IRELAND, sewn - , kND, and the COLONIES ; it can, therefore, oily be purchased in the country, or abroad, of Ntessrs NICOLL'S' (the patentees) recognised AGENT and in LONDON only of themselves, viz., at 114, 11G, 120, REGEN P-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

TILE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT EVER INVENTED CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com- Panics, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. It Is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, coprer, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent sating. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint fur out door purposes may be easily inferrel from the simple fact, that its Ilse has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being able to .ay it on.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Stromboli steam sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, sailed this morning for Devonport, with men for the ships fitting out there. The Leander, 50, Captain S. C. Dacres, was only forty able seamen short of her complement this morning. The Admiralty are very anxious to get her to sea. The Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, is taking in her final stores, and will sail in a few days for the East India station. The Champion, 14, Commander Hayes, was at Mazatlan on the 23d of August. The French ship Roland drove on shore on the rocks and went to pieces • fifteen people were drowned. The boats of the C hampion, in charge of Lieutenant Bridge (who behaved gallantly on the occasion), rescued ten of the crew. The Champion was to sail for Panama on the 20th of September. Mr. Roberts, the surgeon, died at St. Blas, and was buried at sea. ROYAL MARINES. This morning a general parade was formed in the Head-quarter Barracks of the Portsmouth division, at Gosport, to witness the delivery of the silver medals for good conduct and meritorious long service to the sergeants of this division, for which purpose the artil lery companies of the corps were transported across the harbour from their quarters in flat-bottomed paddle• box boats, and two columns were formed, one of artillery and the other of infantry. The large drum being placed in the centre, the Commandant, Colonel Menzies, K.H., and the Field Adjutant, accompanied by the Staff, approached, and, placing the medals, with their ribands attached, upon the drum-head, five sergeants were brought to the front to receive their rewards. The letter from the Board of Admiralty to Colonel Menzies having been read, he ordered the Field- Adjutant to attach the medal to the breast of each sergeant, which having been done, the Colonel assured them that he felt much pleasure in decorating them in obedience to his orders. He observed that he had so frequently had occasion to address them upon the subject of medals and rewards that it must he self-evident to every man who heard him that the care of the Board of Admiralty, in bestowing rewards on the deserving, was unceasingly exercised, and all their Lordships expected in retur❑ was, that they would do their duty as became good and obedient soldiers. A great portion of the division (continued the Gallant Commandant) were well conducted ; to them no admonition was necessary, but again there were others whom he strongly recommended to alter their line of conduct (at the same time turning to the defaulters of the artillery companies who had been separated from the rest of the division for that pur pose) if they intended to quit the service with either advantage or credit to themselves ; for his (Colonel Menzies) part, he was determined to do his duty unflinchingly, and at the same time would take care that they should do theirs. The medal is of silver, about the size of a half crown piece, bearing on one side her Majesty's head, and on the obverse, surrounded by a laurel wreath, the words, "For meritorious service," surmounted by a crown. The riband is of dark blue. The recipients of this first distribution of the honours of the service on this interesting occasion were Sergeants Lee and Wilson of the Artillery companies, and Sergeants Snape, Slaney, and Morris of the divisional companies, all good men and tried soldiers. -"ra arla, ° ^ N°.l7 809.] LONDON TUESDAY it - 4- 9 OCTOBER 23 ) 1849 ° SEA, FIRE, LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 31, COTINI - lILL, LONDON.

When the cloth was reniored,_ [PRICE 6D. tion of railway communication from one extremity of Ireland to the other.—(Cheers.) If ever a railway deserved success it was this—conducted in so straight forward a manner that its most secret and intricate transactions could at any moment be brought before the public—finished in so splendid and permanent o manner, that the works will serve to immortalise the names of the engineer, Sir John Macneil, and the intrepid industry and persevering enterprise of Wil liam Dargan, the contractor.—(Loud cheers.) In the carrying out of these works Mr. Dargan had, had diffi culties of no ordinary kind to encounter—but they were overcome by his energy and indefatigable zeal ; and whilst such a vast amount of employment had been dispensed by him, amongst Irish labourers, he had found the mode of rendering them as efficient as the workmen of any other country, as anxious to perform the business they had undertaken, as orderly and as contented in their avocation.—(Loud cheers.) After some further remarks on this topic, his Excel , lency observed that the chairman had alluded to the enthusiastic reception recently given to her Majesty by her loyal and attached subjects in this country. He felt most happy in assuring the company now assembled that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to convey to him an expression of the delight beyond measure which that reception had afforded to her; and he trusted that he might, even during the period of his official connexion with this country, enjoy the gratification of beholding her Majesty once more receiving renewed expressions of the love and loyalty of the Irish people.—(Loud cheers.) His Excellency, towards the close of an address which produced a profound impression, and of which the preceding is a mere outline, alluded in very feeling terms to the late Mr. Carr, who had filled the post of chairman of the company with so much efficiency. The company, however, had found in their present chairman a worthy successor—a gentleman whose reputation as a merchant and a citizen reflected credit upon the company in which he occupied so dis tinguished a position, who has evinced such indefati gable zeal in promoting this great undertaking from its commencement. All the good qualities of their late chairman were possessed by the gentleman who now filled that office, and his youth and health enabled him to render them fully available for the inte rests of the company whom he worthily represented.— (Cheers.) The Lord-Lieutenant resumed his seat, but soon again rose and said he had a toast to propose. Previous to doing so, however, he had an honour to confer—it was the first time he had exercised this privilege, and it could not be exercised on a more worthy, honourable, or estimable man.—(Here there were loud demonstrations of applause from all parts of the room.) His Excellency was handed a sword, and Mr. M'Donnell knelt down ; his Excellency touched him on the back with the flat of the sword and said —" Rise, Sir Edward M'Donnell." His Excellency then, with a flattering eulogium on the subject of the toast, gave " The Chairman and ,Court of Directors of the Great Southern and Western Railway Corn pany."—(Hear, hear.) Sir EDWARD M'DONNELL returned thanks. He then proposed "The Mayor and Corporation of Cork." Sir WILLIAM LYONS returned thanks, and pro posed " The health of the Lord Mayor of Dublin."

The Rates of Premium are calculated uoon Carlisle mortality, and ore as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM..—By this plan only one-half of the premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retaht ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts.

THE BANQUET. A magnificent banquet was given in the evening at the Imperial Hotel, when the party was increased by numbers of the nobility and gentry of the south. The chair was occupied by Edward Macdonnell, Esq., chairman of the Great Southern and Western Rail way, the completion of which mighty work the dis tinguished company had assembled to commemorate. The great room of the Imperial was fitted up with much splendour, and the fine band of the 41st Regi ment occupied the gallery. The style in which dinner was served reflected the greatest credit on the house. _ _ His Excellency the _Lord-Lieutenant occupied the post of honour to the right of the chairman, the Duke of Leinster to the left, and on either side were the Earl of Bandon, Lord Hawarden, the Lord Chan cellor, Lord Monteagle, the Hon. and Rev. the Dean of Cloyne, Sir P. Crampton, Bart., Sir W. Somerville, Sir T. N. Redington, Lord Dunkellin, A.D.C. ; Major Henry F. Ponsonby, A.D.C.; Lord Kil worth, Lord B e lf as t, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Admiral Sir M. Dixon, C. Con nellan, Esq., Sir Robert Kane, Sir M. Barrington, Bart., Sir W. Lyons, Mayor of Cork, Colonel Sir D. M'Gregor, Sir W. W. Becher, Sir John Macneil, Sir Thomas Deane, Colonel Beresford, Colonel Browne, Colonel Portlock, Colonel Spink, Robert Borrowes, George Roe, E. B. Roche, M.P., Dr. Power, M.P., Edward Grogan, M.P., High Sheriff Sarsfield, Mr. Fagu, Colonel ChAtterton, Colonel redder, The CHAIRMAN said—Heretofore, in proposing the health of her Majesty, it was the duty of the chair man at banquets like the present to give assurances of' the loyalty and affection the Irish people. This is no longer necessary—her Majesty can now judge for herself, and I am certain that she is satisfied that in no part of her extensive dominions has she subjects more loyal, more affectionate, and more attached to her Royal person than her Irish subjects. It is true she visited us after years of unparalleled distress, and it must have gratified her Majesty to find us willing to forget our own griefs to be happy while she was with us. We all hope and trust that that visit is but a prelude to many others, and in happier times ; and, if so, there is not a doubt that we shall have to date the prosperity of this country from her Majesty's first visit to Ireland. I give you " The Queen." — (Enthusiastic cheers.) Air, " God save the Queen." 'rhe CHAIRMAN then gave—" Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, now Eerl of Dublin, and the rest T Load A c r h: y rs a .) nd of tThehe Royal nex tto b a 'a s rn t Navy." Admiral Dicitsoie and Colonel SPIN s ev erally returned severe y returned thanks. The Cuatameer then rose and said—The next toast I have to propose is, " The Lord- Lieutenant and prosperity to Ireland."—(Loud cheers.) I propose this toast in the usual form, but if ever there was a name that deservedly ought to be coupled with the prosperity of Ireland, it is that of the Earl of Claren don. Evincing, as his Excellency does, the greatest anxiety, and devoting the most untiring zeal to for ward any interest connected with it, he is always to be found willing to receive and consider any proposi tion that he considers likely to advance it. Let us look back at the state of things in this country since he undertook the government. He found us in the midst of famine—our trade and com merce totally paralyzed— our agricultural inte rests ruined by the failure of our crops, which are the floating capital of this country. In place of finding U 3 united and willing to join in one common effort to raise the country from this dread ful state, he found us a divided and unhappy people. Shortly after a revolutionary movement broke out in almost the entire of the Continent, which communi cated itself to these countries in a minor form. But such was the prudent government of his Excellency in putting down the attempt, that we can now look back with pity on those who had the madness to join it; but which, if mismanaged, might have left recol lections that years could not efface. In this state of things, little could be done by his Excellency to for ward anything for the good of the country. But the moment a gleam of hope of better time appeared on the horizon, he advised, nay, perhaps, induced her Majesty to visit this country—knowing that her royal visit would be accompanied and followed by crowds of English, with foreigners, who should then see the real state of this country—its miseries as well as its capabilities—and the result was just as he antici pated; and it is from the consequences that will re sult from that visit, to which we are indebted to his Excellency, that I look forward to future prosperity. But, to couple his name with the objects of the rail way interes.s, I shall show you that he practically carried out his intention for the good of Ireland. His first visit to this line was when we first opened the branch to Carlow, and we never can forget the plea sure he felt and the manner in which he spoke on that occasion, at seeing what he considered the first proof of the enterprise and exertion of this great undertaking. Subsequently he came to the Limerick opening, and there, in the presence of congregated hundreds of our nobility, merchants, and traders, be gave out his feelings in a way that we cannot forget, and there declared that, looking upon a welt-digested system of railways as one of the great levers by which to uplift this country from its prostrate state, he pledged himself to assist similar undertakings; and you have the declaration of the chairman of the Mid land Great Western Railway, that it was owing to his assistance that they obtained the loan of 500,0001, without which, I say, it would have been madness to attempt a line to Galway. As representative of that Government to which, we are so much indebted for the timely assistance given to us, and which the Prime Minister had such difficulty in passing, lam delighted he has this day seen the value that loan was to us—and also the value we have given for it, in the stupendous works he has this day seen ; and I have now to tell his Excellency that hail we not succeeded in getting that grant, such were the financial difficulties of these coun tries at the time, these works must have been stopped, and hundreds thrown out of employment, at a time of all others when employment was so necessary. I will not dwell longer on these topics, which I have brought forward to show how anxious his Excellency is to forward in every way the prosperity of this country, but will conclude by proposing " His Ex cellency the Lord-Lieutenant, and Prosperity to Ire land." The toast was received with the warmest ap plause, the band playing up " Patrick's Day." His EXCELLENCY arose amidst the most enthu siastic acclamation, and observed that it was with no ordinary feelings of gratification he had heard his name associated with the welfare of Ireland, and had witnessed the manner in which that toasthad been received by such an assemblage. The chairman had connected his name with a subject which had long and anxiously occupied his thoughts, and which, no matter whether he should be in a public or private station, should still engage his unremitting solicitude.—(Hear, hear.) It was with such feelings as these that he had accepted with alacrity the invitation of the chairman and board of directors to witruss the opening of their railway, because he considered that undertaking as one of paramount importance in relation to the future prosperity of this country.--(Hear.) They had all that day had an opportunity of witnessing the splen dour of the works—the magnificent viaducts—the noble arches—the cuttings and embankments, all finished in the most complete and permanent manner, and, when the immense labour was considered, in an amazing short space of time. What an amount of benefit must not this work have conferred upon the districts through which it passed. Their chairman, he observed, had alluded in grateful terms to the loan sanctioned by the Government to promote the com pletion of this railway ; and it was his belief, but for that well-timed loan, that they could nct now reach Cork by railway.—(Hear, hear.) If they looked back to the period when his Noble Friend at the head of the Government, with prudent foresight, consented to advance that money, they would find that it was in time of such pe- cuniary difficulty that companies even of the highest standing were unable to procure advances upon almost any terms. No doubt some inconveni ence might have been felt by the Chancellor of the Exchequer from a loan at such a time ; and they were bound to feel grateful for the consideration and fore sight of his Noble Friend in providing assistance at such a crisis, to enable the company to facilitate their works, to give extensive employment when the neces sities of the labouring classes so much required it, and thus to hasten the completion of a great line of rail way which must prove of incalculable service in pro viding for the farmer a ready market for the sale of his produce.—(Bear, hear.) Allusion had been made by the chairman to his (the Lord Lieutenant's) previous visits to this railway, and that to Dundrum especially he well recollected, because he had there availed himself of the opportunity of speaking upon a subject which still filled his mind—he meant the vast importance of railways in affording facilities for ex tending improved modes of husbandry—in opening the best and readiest markets for the sale of agricul tural produce. They could not over-estimate the advantages to the farmer which must be conferred by this railway, connecting Dublin, Limerick, and Cork, and the intermediate districts, in one chain of communication.—(Hear, hear.) It was to such fa cilities and advantages the farmers should now look in sustaining themselves against the severe competi tion they had to undergo, which could only be ade quately met by persevering energy, and by taking advantage of all available means to increase produce by the adoption of the best system of cultivation.— (Hear, hear.) Considerations like these had influ enced his Noble Friend at the head of the Government when he had determined to aid this company by an advance of money. The manner in which the affairs of this company had been conducted was most cre ditable to the gentlemen entrusted with its manage ment, and a more honourable and high• minded body of men did not exist than the chairman and board of directors. Possibly they might not be satisfied with the present proceeds of the line; bnt he could not help remarking, it was the general impression that rails% ay property had now reached the lowest point of depression ; but when this railway, at a period of unexampled depression, yielded such a traffic as that now in progress, what extent of increase might they not expect in better times, when the country assumed its normal condition, and its vast resources should be amply developed by the , efforts of agricultural improvement now becoming so , I general, facilitated as they would be by the comple- The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The health of the Duke of Leinster," said—l shall not on this occasion propose his Grace's health in the usual form of a re sident landlord, looking to the interests of his tenantry, and encouraging them on to improvements of every kind, but as the father of this line—for it was his Grace who cut the first sod of it in the December of 1844, little thinking that in five years from that sod should spring up this gigantic work. His Grace on that occasion gave us a noble example, for he stripped to the work and put his shoulder to the wheel, and ac tually filled and emptied the first load of soil on it, showing us directors that in a great undertaking like this we must also put our shoulders, in order to ac complish it. His Grace the Duke of LEINSTER, in returning thanks, said he would be ready to work as hard for any other similar company.—(Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN—In proposing " The health of the Lord Chancellor," I shall make but this remark— that, perhaps, no man in the profession ever rose so rapidly as he has done; and step by step as he ad vanced to this high position, he gave the greatest satisfaction in every position he was called to, until at length he has ascended to the highest judicial po sition, where he holds the justice scales so evenly that no mechanical beam ever invented can do so more accurately. " Lord Bandon, the lord-lieutenant of the county. " The Earl of BANDON returned thanks. " The City Member, Mr. W. Elgan." Alr. TAG AN returned thanks. "The County Members, Mr. Roche and Dr. Power." Mr. E. B. ROCHE responded. "In proposing " The Railway Directors," the CHAIRMAN said, I am happy to say the railway inte rests are strongly represented here, having present on this occasion, directors from the Dublin and Kings town, Drogheda Railway, Midland Great Western Railway, the Belfast Junction, the Limerick and Waterford Railway, Irish South- Eastern and Killarney Junctions. I shall couple with this toast the " Health of George Roe," a; chairman of the Dublin and Kingstown Line, which is the parent line of the country, and which has given such good example to us all in the admirable manner in which that company is conducted. The chairman is one of our most estimable fellow-citizens, and one who not only gives extensive employment by his cwn private enterprise, but supports, by his property and his exertions, every undertaking which he considers for the good of the country. Mr. RoE briefly returned thanks. lie was, he said, chairman of the first railway company esta bli...hed in Ireland—the smal!est line, certainly, but which had not the example of such noble enterprise ; and he was happy to say that that company had done pretty well.—(Hear) But, in speaking of that com pany he felt bound to say, that this country was indebted to his friend, Mr. James Pim, for the intro duction of railways, and to his practical knowledge, foresight, and persevering energy, for the manner in which the public attention had been ultimately directed to the subject.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Pim might in fact be termed the parent of Irish railway enterprise, from wnich this country must, at no distant day, de rive most inestimable advantages.—(Hear ) The CHAIRMAN next gave the health of Sir John Macneill. He said—l shall call you only to look back on the stupendous works you have this day seen—all planned and devised by him, and carried on under his superintendence. You must also bear in mind that your line differs in construction—that is, in the rails and sleep,rs, and general method of laying —and has been tested, and proved in every way su perior to any other plan as yet devised. Sir JOHN MACNEILL returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN—The next tosst is " The health of William Dargan." I give him to you as the great contractor, and truly he may be called so. If he had never constructed any works but those from Thurles to Cork, he would have his fame. But north, south, east, and west, his great works are to be seen; and with every company he has had to contract with, he has given entire satisfaction, by his honourable, straightforward mode of carrying out his engage ments. Ile has another claim on us as Irishmen, because he has for ever removed the slur from the Irish character—that the Irish in their own country will not work, but are idle and lazy. He has proved that if you treat them fairly and pay them honestly, there is no work that cannot be done by them. He can tell you that the enormous viaducts, cuttings, and embankments you have this day seen, are all the work of Irishmen, nay, of men from the very counties in which the works are executed. Mr. DARGAN briefly responded. The CHAIRMAN next gave" The Right Honourable the Secretaries for Ireland." Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE returned thanks. "Lord Monteagle, and our friends in the House of Lords." Lord MONTEAGLE delivered a long speech. After which the company broke up, much gratified with the proceedings of the day. REFORMATION OF JUVENILII OFFENDERS it ap• .—F rout a statement issued by the Philanthropichveatlength Society been com pleted that the arrangements_ pleted for the final ri7movalof the a school from London to the new institution at Bed-hill. Sunday morning next, w ith the sanction of t he Bisho p of Winc hester, has been a ppointed for the delivery of the anniversary and fare well sermon in aid of the society's funds, after which the chapel will be converted into a district church. The proceeds of the service of Sunday are to be especially a pplied to the fitting and furnishing of the new chapel erected at the Farm School, Red-hill, and it is to be hoped that the efficient co-operation of the affluent will enable the society to continue and increase these bene ficial works which have so long distinguished the opera tions of the " Philanthrophic " in the southern suburbs of the metropolis. LIE ST. BOSWELL RIOT.—We understand that the Provost of Jedburgh has received a communication from the Secretary of State is reference to the prisoners Wilson and Brady, now under sentence of death for the murder of William Lauder, at St. Boswell Fair, on the 18th of July last. Brady has been reprieved; but the law is directed to take its course in regard to Wilson,who will, consequently, be executed at Jedburgh on Thugs day, the 25th iust,--Kelso Nail. WOOLWICH, OCT. 22.—The Black Eagle steam vessel, Master-Commander S. B. Cook, arrived at Woolwich on Saturday afternoon, from Portsmouth. Commodore Henry Eden, superintendent of this dockyard, has been engaged to day in making ar rangements for the service afloat which will be em ploy ed on the 30th inst., when her Majesty and Prince Albert will proceed by water to open the new Coal- Exchange, near the Custom-house. Mr. ...Slare, the eminent ship builder at Black wall, having offered the use of a handsome steam-yacht, fitted with paddle wheels, the length of the vessel being 100 feet by 12 feet broad, Mr Petley, Master- Commander of the Lightning, has been appointed to command her on the occasion, and will proceed in advance of the royal barge to see that the river way is clear. The Fairy and Elfin steam-vessels are hourly expected at Woolwich to be in attendance, in case their services should be rt quired, but it is doubtful whether the Fairy will be taken above London bridge.

The matriculation paper is also rsquired. PURIFICATION of the RIVER THAMES. Yesterday Mr. Dover, of New-street, Spring gar dens, the projector of a scheme for deputrifying the sewage of London, in order to prevent the contami nation of the river by the sewers, and the consequent evils to public health which flow from its pollution, rave a further exhibition of his e x pe r i men t s f or t es ti ng the soundness of his views. The outlines of Mr. Dover's plan have already appeared in this journal ; but we may mention that it is proposed to construct works at the exit of each sewer into the Thames to intercept the sewage, and effect its deodorization and filtration, and after undergoing this two-fold process, the water will be allowed freely to discharge itself into the river. The sewage is to be pumped up by steam-power into tanks or vats of one to three thou sand gallons each, and disinfected progressively whilst filling. As soon as the tank is full, the contents will be ready for.filtering by ascent, and then the resi duum is to be removed from the works in order to be converted into an inodorous fertiliser termed " British guano," the value of which is estimated as more than equivalent to the outlay upon the in the worla, machinery, and labour necessary fur producing it. The experiment on this occasion was made upona quantity of pestilential sewage taken d presence of some of the spectators from an adjac ent seer; and f the result was that the water came o . rth from the apparatus apparently effaecdtuellydeaptutrtireuetadb, attributable e bu t t o still the and retaining an acid taste smell, disinfecting agent employed. In this state we were assured that the effect of the water upon the h uman frame would be rather medicinal than otherwise. It is not quite so clear as the water supplied by the dif ferent metropolitan companies, but still it is fully adapted to the grand and paramount purpose of keep ing the river free from its present deleterious impuri ties ; and when mixed with the limpid stream flowing down from the lock of Teddington in the proportion which naturally flows from that source, it is con sidered that the innocuous acid taste and odour which we mentioned above will be greatly diminished. Upon the whole the experiment yesterday—which was very simple and conducted with the most perfect candour and openness—proved successful. TUE NICARAGUA QUESTION.—We have intelligence from Nicaragua to the 20th of August. The New York company for the construction of the canal had obtained an absolute and unconditional grant from the Nicaraguan Government; and, until the completion of the canal, were to have the exclusive right of navigation of the San Juan liver and the Lakes Nicaragua and Leon. It is reported, that when the English Vice-Consul heard of this, he wrote to the Nicaraguan Government, complain ing of their having asserted that a revolution had been stirred up by British agents, and treating it as a cause of offence. The Government are said to have replied that they would appeal to the United States Government for protection. IMPROVEMENT IN STEAMERS.—Mr. Humphries, the chief engineer of her Majesty's dockyard, Woolwich, has prepared a plan for fitting the centres of paddle wheels on the shaft, which will, doubtless, be applied to the steamers now in coarse of fitting.

ROYAL NAVAL CLUB or 1765.—The members of the Royal Naval Club of 1765 gave their concluding banquet for the present season last evening, at the Piazza Hotel, Covent-garden, Admiral the Earl of Egmont, who served in the Orion, as midshipman, at the battle of Trafalgar, presided, and was supported by several naval officers. The Royal Naval Club of 1765 was esta blished in that year, for the purpose of affording relief to the widows and orphans of naval officers, and since its establishment bas expended in that benevolent object upwards of 6,8001. Amongst its most distinguished members have been his late Majesty King William IV., who joined it in 1786, the immortal Nelson, Admiral Duncan, Lord Collingwood, &c. Amongst the officers who attended the banquet last night were—Admiral Sir Edward Chetham Strode, K.C.8., K C.H., Admiral Sykes, Captain Pridham, Captain Bague, Captain H. Sweeney, Captain Wynn, Captain R. Douglas, Captain J. Gordon, Captain Robinson, Captain Marshall, Captain C. Jay, Admiral Ross, C. 8., Captain Branford, Captain Brain, Captain Rich, Captain Currie, Captain T. Dick enson, Captain C. Greene, &c.

We understand that they are in treaty for some other collections in the physiological and pathological departments to complete the medical faculty.—Cork Constitution. A Leeds policeman in disguise has had his pocket picked of a parcel containing handcuffs.—Hull Ad ger tisar. DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—Thursday List will be looked upon as one of the memorable days in the annals of Irish railways, from the fact of the opening of this gigantic and useful enterprise having been effected upon that day. A period of five years has but elapsed since the Act of Parliament authorising the construc tion of the line received the Royal assent; and, thanks to the energy and ability of the engineer, the con tractor, and the directors, it is now completed to within a distance of about three-quarters of a mile from the final terminus on the quay at Cork, the latter part being a tunnel of the heaviest character from the nature of the material of which the hill to be tunnelled is composed. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, accompanied by the Earl of Belfast, his Private Secretary, Corry Connellan, Esq., his Aides-de-Camp, Hon. Mr. Ponsonby, &c., left the terminus at King's-bridge at half-past nine in a special train. Amongst the com pany were the Lord Mayor, the Duke of Leinster, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Monteagle, Lord Hawarden, Sir W. Somerville, Sir J. Macneil, Sir P.Crampton, Sir D. McGregor Sir R. Kane, Sir M.Barrington, Sir T. N. Rediogton, dol. Browne, Col. Carruthers, Messrs. E. Macdonnell, chairman of the company ; Hutton, Haughton, George Roe, directors; James Magee, James Pim, Thomas Hutton, E. Grogan, M.P.; F. T. Porter, E. Redmond, Arthur Cane, Dr. Tole lain, Francis Codd, G. W. Heman s , W. Taylor, B.E. Ball, John M'Donnell, Governor of the Bank of Ireland ; R. S. Guinness, C. Bianconi, S. Woods, architect of the Great Southern and Western Rail way ; J. W. Murland, and several others connected with the mercantile interests of the city. The train went on at a reasonable rate of going till they arrived at the Red Bog, four or five miles be yond Ballybrophy, where it may be in the recollection of our readers that nearly half a mile af the road was regularly swallowed up—utterly disappeared a year and a half ago. here his Excellency and the party stopped to examine the manner which the ingenious and skilful engineer of the company, Sir John Macneil, took to remedy this terrible puzzle. It was impossible to pile it; the contractors threw in lots of material, but they all disappeared ; Sir John then purchased a larch wood which grew near, severed the branches of the larch trees and placed them horizon tally below, in such a quantity that he made a wooden raft of three-fifths of a mile, on which the railway has passed over now every day for the last twelve months. The company were greatly struck with the undulating motion of the carriages as they drove backward and forward over this part by the desire of Sir John Macneil. From this the train proceeded on by the junction, Charleville, Buttevant, to Mallow, and stopped to give the company time to visit the gorgeous viaduct completed over the Black water. It consists of ten arches, each forty feet in diameter and eighty feet high. The lightness, the grace, and the beauty of this work excited the admira tion of the whole company. When the train entered the station-house at Mallow it was received with a loud cheer by a large crowd of people, including a number of the navvies. A party of military of the 47th, and a body of police in full dress, were drawn up on the platform, to give his Excellency the salute of honour. Many gentlemen from the neighbourhood of Mallow, including Sir W. R. Becher, Mr. Newman, Mr. Croker, Rev. Justin McCarthy, P.P., Rev. Mr. Greene, P.P., and a number of others, were amongst those who awaited the arrival of the train from Dublin. Amongst the gentle men from Coils were Lord Viscount Mount morris, Dean of Cloyne, and the Venerable Archdeacon Kyle, vicar-general of the diocese. Dr. Wilson would have been present, but for illness ; and Dr. Delany was absent in consequence of duties connected with his episcopal functions. We must not forget to mention that Mr. Berwick, the assistant-barrister for the East Riding of Cork; Thos. Ronayne Sarsffeld, high-sheriff; Sir William Lyons, mayor of Cork ; and F. B Beatnish, one of the most active of the original projectors of the line, came in the Cork train to receive the Dublin party. All the carriages having been attached, the train was again set in motion, but not at great speed, as the line was to be inspe c t e d in detail by Lord Clarendon, the chairman, and Sir John Macneil, acting as ciceroni. On coming to the Mallow viaduct, that crosses the Blackwater, the train was stopped, and almost the whole party got out of the carriages, with the intention of viewing the works from the level of the river. This viaduct is 70 feet in height, and consists of ten arches, 60 feet high, and of 45 feet span. Viewed from below the effect is peculiarly fine, the noble arches forming magnificent frames for as sweet pictures as could be seen, and having all the rich tone of colouring belonging to this season, in wood, stream, sky, and background. The prevailing character of this, as of all the structures on the line, is an appear ance of graceful lightness; and yet no works can be more massive or substantial, the foundations being deeply sunk, the material being of the very best stone which the country affords, and the workmanship such as could not be excelled. The Ballygibbon embankment was next admired. This is a stupendous mound of earthwork, 110 feet in height, and finished off with all the precision of a flower bed in a gentleman's garden. A piper was here stationed on a table, working away at his cherished instrument. A flag of the most hospitable and friendly character was also one of the features of this spot; for on it was inscribed a welcome to Lord Clarendon, a welcome to the directors, a welcome to Sir John Macneil, and a welcome to her Most Gracious Majesty, with a " God bless her" into the bargain. The Monard Viaduct was next inspected, the party going down as before. This is not only a magnificent structure, but its construction has been positively miraculous. It consists of seven arches 90 feet high and 45 feet span. The arching was not commenced until the 30th of August of this year, and it was completed on the 30th of September! We happened to stand near Lord Clarendon as Sir John Macneil informed his Excellency of this surprising fact; and we heard him remark, " It is one of the most magnifi cent works I ever saw—and completed in two months? impossible!" But Lord Clarendon may now learn that there is no such word as " impossible" in the vocabulary of Mr. Dargan, the Napoleon of viaducts, cuttings, tunnels, and embankments. The train passed slowly through the Rathpeacon cutting—a gigantic work—a cutting through solid stone, of 64 feet in depth, and a mile and a quarter in length. The next and last stoppage was at Kilnap, to ins spect its beautiful viaduct, the grandest and most striking of all the works on the line, and enclosing within its arches as exquisite bits of living landscape as it is possible to see. This majestic structure is 95 feet in height, and consists of eight arches of 45 feet in span, the first stone of which was laid in November, 15=48. The effect produced by the ensemble—the gigantic nature of the structure, the train slowly passing along its light and graceful line, the variety and beauty of the scenery, the many hundreds of all classes who came from the city to witness the arrival, and the deep interest attaching to so grand an under taking—was indeed most striking and impressive. The foundations of some of the pillars supporting this mighty fabric are sunk 21 feet below the surface of the seer:iing base. After viewing the viaduct for some time the party resumed their seats, and the train being set in motion, it reached the station at Blackpool. On the arrival of the train at Blackpool there was a vast multitude of persons of all classes assembled, who cheered enthusiastically. A salute was fired from a howitzer and three field •pieces of artillery placed for the occasion. General Turner, in command of the district, with a guard of honour of the 41st Regiment, band and colours, were in waiting to receive his Excellency with a salute, the band playing " God save the Queen," and the Viceregal party pro ceeded without much delay to the Imperial Hotel, where suitable apartments were provided. _ ___ SIR E.
