Reader, remember, this letter was put Int he paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weckley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoxe, of the lierbary, High rate ter the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four month., Ind the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than f ever was heinre the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.% le,T,enator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase in I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex cadence, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far hey and any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering an:, ady of respectability to the above fact:.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afew drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mare it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the air brilliancy, causing It to curl. The most delicate ladles may use this delightful product of the ;nest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing , dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head; If very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre veri convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See lanaphlet of testimonials.

Ei R 1 A ", , One halt the world are desolately single, and the other Ipposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em .:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself imder the plea caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un •or,prosia7 harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, Ind broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happiness -ni social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set :le/neut. Honour and Justice demand that health should form an item .11 the compact; tt alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or ;eglect wound more sorely than poverty or migfortune.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. CHRONICLE.—IIeaIIv the Protectionists are vastly to be pitied. " Happy " and " miserable" are purely relative terms, and, as regards individuals, are to be applied according to the particular. standard of happiness or misery which they adopt. Now it is one of the idiosyncrasies of the Protectionists to make scarcity their good, and plenty their evil. There are many inconveniencies, indeed, in rever,,ing the ordinary meaning of terms employed upon man kind; but if any set of men should insist on calling four two, and two four, you must consent, in dealing with them, to adinit that f o ur times four is two. Proceeding on this principle of humouring the o Idi ties of our whimsic a l f r i en d s , we have no hesitation in admitting that the present conjuncture is one of pro found distress and absolute ruin. " The good min strogOing with the s'orms of Etc, And greatly falling with a falling state," is nothing to the melancholy spectacle of a Protec tionist battling with plenty in all its hideous forms ; for, not merely in the increase of the necessaries and conveniences of life, but in every imaginable form of cheapness and abundance, this multitudinous foe is perpetually starting forth from places where it was least expected. Indeed there is no hope for the Country Party ; the Philistines are upon them ; abundance has penetrated into their very tents ; in front, rear, and flank, a horrid prosperity assails them. To us, who are habituated to the ordi nary phraseology which calls abundance a good and scarcity an evil, it is not a little entertaining to find a Protectionist contemporary complaining, in the bit terest term, of the disastrous consequences of free trade, which has produced, he says, not only " an enormous increase of imports, but a plethora of bullion in the Bank, and an unnatural height of the Three per Ceots." We remember a caricature of Gilray's, in which John Bull is exhibitedsin the act of opening a sal t -box, and,*:iigh alt with ' pcitililigspirlit:Seeiag Pitt starting out of ilt with a it Oiplar„fV,ej4iiiites, " What here too!

You must have a nistional , bankruptcy. It is unnecessary to dwell any longer,on the argument that, if the balance of trade were? not "against" .us e there could be no exportation at aille because it would be worth no one's while to export leStit we may, al , lege the case of America (as obvious facts are more suited to the capacity of our scholars.: than logical reasoning), to show them that O l e ctintstry may haVe had for a numb n- of Years a great preponderance of: imports over exports, and yet not be . .entirely ruined. The errors of these writers, in this as in other cases, arise from a want of apprehensitin of some most simple truths with which every well informed school. boy is now familiar. They have never divested themselves of the old fallacy that wealth consists in hard money. It is nothing to them to get a comfort able coat if it has not gilt buttons on it. If they could once learn that it is labour, and labour only, that ultimately napstitutes wealth, we should be saved many dull speecEes - ilia dulrer parri - plikts. Taking this simple truth for our guide, the effects of an extensive importation upon the industry of the country will be obvious. If we exchange goods which are worth 1,0001. for goods which are worth 2,000/ when they are brought back to our markets, what does the difference of price mean bat this—that, in exchange for one hour of labour, we have got that which it would have cost us two hours or more to make ourselves ? Now suppose (quod Dii aver runcent) that the sages of Protectionism had the power, as they have the wish, to exclude all importa tion—then, in order to obtain the same quantity of commodities which we at present receive from abroad, we should require at least twice the quantity of labour to be expended on them—i.e., the people of this coun try would have to do twice as much work in order to get an equal amount of wealth. Here, then, is the first benefit of importation—it sets free an enormous quantity of labour which would otherwise have been unprofitably wasted, and admits of its being devoted to employments which will in like manner purchase the produce of a larger amount of labour than has been expended. And this would be true whatever were the nature of the imports —so long as these are of greater value than the exports, we have economised by the exchange so many hours of labour. The least advan tageous case would be if the imports were of such a character as to add nothing to the stock from which labourers are supported —i. e., if they were articles of unproductive consumption. But there is another class of imports which not only economises labour, but increases the capital stock from which the labourers are maintainwl. And it is this class of im ports, almost exclusively, which Free trade has opened to us. A Protectionist cont..mporary very simply exclaims—" We are richer, doubtless, through this large accumulation of commodities ; but has this import provided maintenance and support to the popu lation?' Now, what is the meaning of accumulation of commodities ? Where have they been heaped up, and where era they kept ? Somebody must have benefited by them ; or do the Protectionists imagine that there is some great pit in 'Manchester into which they are thrown, without being ever paid for or consumed? But look at the items of our 90 millions of imports—and then see whether they can have merely accumulated, and whether they have not contributed to the maintenance and support of the population. First, we have 32,500,0001. of articles of consumption for the year 1848. Does anybody pre tend that the highest protective duties could have made this country produce, in the year 1848, 32,500,000/. of consumable articles more than it did ? If not, then here you have a clear addition of 32,500,000/. to the stock by which labour is main tained; and, that there may be no doubt that additional labour actually was maintained by this stock, we have this other item of imports—viz., 48,400,0001. of raw materials to be worked up by that additional labour, and to make the case com plete, we have a large increase of imports this year, which is the payment for the increased production of last year, and which will in ifs turn maintain a larger number of labourers next year. Such is the simple and beneficial process by which an unrestricted commerce provides for the necessities of a growing population. Can there be folly more gross than to assert, in the teeth of such facts, that a large importation is detrimental to home industry ? But the benefits of a just and sound commercial system are as multiform as are the evils of an erroneous one. The importation of articles of con sumption not only directly increases the means of maintaining labourers, but, by diminishing the cost of pro luction, it also lowers the price in the home market of all articles which the consumer requires ; so that, with the same amount of what is called the " effective desire of accumulation," each man can save more than he otherwise could, and a much larger capital is amassed for the maintenance of future industry. And, moreover, the abundance of support for labourers, produced by a large impor tation of consumable articles, opens a great many fields of industry, which would otherwise have been closed—because, when the food of the labourer is cheap, it is worth while to employ him in many trades which, when food is dear, would not be remu nerative. This is no doubt the true account of the large increase in the importation of raw silk. A low price of provisions enables us to weave silk at such a price as to compete with the forei gner, wh i ch we could never do while the food of the labourer was dear. These are but a tithe of the points of view in which a large import trade may be shown to he among the chief promoters of domestic industry. The foolish attempt to create a feeling against it is a sign either of interested blindness, or of hopless stupidity. TIM ES.—The complaints often made respscting the small encouragement given to literature in this country are to a great extent founded on truth, although it may, we believe, at the same time be said that, with the exception of ribands, titles, and official station, the literary men of England are not behind their brethren in general advantage of position. The f:ct is that the best patron, in the long run, is the public. No courtly or ministerial favour could be halt so productive to a deserving suitor as the itnpar ti3l discernment of Paternoster. row. Nor is this otherwise, than as it should be. Such remunerations and acknowledgments are infinitely more to the tote of a roan of letters than the gifts of patronage, how• ever lavish or however graciously bestowed. Still, there do occur cases in which the due hire of the la bourer is not forthcoming. Of these the most conspi cuous is that in which the subject selected by the writer for especial study is less le pular than useful—more cal culated, in short, to benefit posterity and mankind than to attract the notice and the tribute of an existing generation. That such an author should be recoin ;sensed for his trials by some national acknowledg ment, is what no one would deny. In other cases, either the misfortunes to which all are liable, or the calamities peculiarly incidental to the pursuits in question, may have induced privations and distress. It is not every author, who, like Prescott, can write when he is blind, or who, like Walter Scott, can dauntlessly make head against overwhelming obliga tions. In such instances there appears a manifest propriety in some public acknowledgment of public ser vices ; but for such occasions the Civil List is the only resource beyond the tardy justice or capricious gene rosity of individuals. It is clear, however, that in proportion as this fund is circumscribed and burdened should the assignments upon it be judicious and impartial. Our readers are well aware that literature is not exclu sively privileged in its prescriptive demands upon this store. Services of all kinds, scientific, commercial, philanthropic, military, and philosophical, are regis tered and rewarded in. the pension list, but such embarrassments should only induce a greater caution in proportioning the liquidation of claims. We do not of course overlook the peculiar character of the fund ; but whatever may be the idea theoretically attached to the botinty of Royalty, it is commonly understood ennorei the people of this country that such pensicns are adjudged, like other offices and appointments, upon the reeponsihle advice of the Minister, and they are accord irreely. 9held th' betoken the appreciation which has been - set' tiptni:the services of the candidate by corn sptterip tiellAinpartial judges. In this view, therefore, elfey"faVlnitimately under the scrutiny of the AttNiefiCerdette this scrutiny we now submit a case hailleeti recently brought under our observe , VeieeKeightley will be known to most of our , yeBltrsPid - th:6 popular and successful author of many eeletilieistaiyeeitorks. He has given an attractive and AiisiCesiblee form to the histories of Greece, Rome, ./togGnd, and India; he has condensed and sitbplifie(Pthe most familiar of the ancient mytholo `„gi4s %and I& constructed some easy editions of the elailahleivelters in greatest request. We do not prerenet "'scribe such publications to the highest order of i lect, but it would be very erroneous to suppheee no scholarship or aptitude is required Or The essionessful compilation of rudimentary treatises. •111Ixeinteif - fact, the performance of such tasks de Mai ds:.ihe hand of a master, and if the subject can tioe•filsiarys command such ability it is because the • recompense seldom bears any adt quate proportion to ehl'stoil..• Mr. Keightley, however, is shown to have 'ceded in his attempts by the reception which e*tlfet4n to his series of publications. Many of them e have reached their fifth or sixth edition ; ana4billegeneral employment in the junior classes of wall (*ducted schools is a sufficient testimony to the authoies - egrvices in the all-important cause of educa tions, Under these circumstances, and with the ad ditionabolaims of advancing years and unexpected misfaittrilts, Mr. Keightley preferred his suit to the Xlinisteiilared his representations were seconded by a'aue4rOilltnation of that personal influence, without which;-iis this free and enlightened country, no claims are permitted to pass current. The result was a proffer of 801. per annum—a stipend so wholly un• equal to his necessities, and, as it was conceived, so disproportioned to his services, that he resolved on declining it. Without touching on the prudence of this determination, we are prepared to admit that a case of injustice is fairly to be made out by the only test practically applicable to such questions a comparison of the treatment experienced by ethers. It is an invidious argument to be driven to, nor have we any wish in advocating one cause to depreciate another; but, surely, if Lady Morgan's literary claims on the consideration of the Govern - merit are--jlistly represented by an- annuity of 300/- per annum, Mr. .Keightley's could not have been adequately acknowledged by one of 801. We do not pretend to strike any balance of intellectual merit between the parties, but it the services respectively rendered to the country by each are carefully weighed—and such is surely a proper method of forming an estimate—it seems to us absolutely impossible that the decision should not be very peremptorily in favour of Mr. Keightley. His works have been numerous and on the most useful subjects. They have established their own reputation and footing in the best schools, and one of them, we be lieve, was undertaken upon the recommendation o the late Dr. Arnold, who judged that Mr. Keightley was the writer be.t calculated to convey information on an historical subject very little known. Nearly 100,000 copies of these rudimentary works have been published in this country alone, and they have been largely circulated by reprints in America and translations on the continent. It may naturally be asked why, with such a demand for his productions, Mr. Keightley should have been compelled to solicit the extraordinary consideration of Government; but we are informed that the explanation of this circumstance involves no confession beyond that of misfortune. So much, indeed, is evident on the first aspect of the case; for if Mr. Keightley had been in any way disqualified for the receipt of the Royal bounty, his claims of course could neither have been recommended by his friends nor even thus partially recognised by the Minister. It is not a pleasant necessity to a man of letters to stoop to any solicitation at all, and still less is it agreeable to substitute the importunity of a public protest for the privacy of personal representations. But Mr. Keightley's duties are, unfortunately, not limited by considerations for his own maintenance in impending poverty and advancing age. He has a large and a helpless family, and is further distressed by those embarrassing obligations which multiply themselves with such terrible rapidity after the first moments of misfortune. It is upon these considera tions that he relies for the promotion of claims, of themselves justly entitled to prompt and favourable notice. He conceives that he is honourably qualified by his past services for the receipt of that recompense which prescription and example have combined to assure to all who deserve it, and he feels besides, not unnaturally, that the pressure of undeserved calami ties should be taken to add something to the urgency of his claims. THE ABIHT.—A detachment of the 831 Foot ar rived at Bombay on the 26th of June, in the ship Ursula. The detachment consists of 1 captain, 2 subalterns, 3 sergeants, 1 drummer, 3 corporals, 64 privates, 8 women, and 14 children; total, 96. The detachment immedi ately proceeded to the head- quarters et Poonah. Two other detachments of the same regiments have also ar rivt d at Bombay in the Earl of Bulcarras and Mermaid. The detachment in the former vessel consisted of 1 lieu tenant, 1 ensign, 1 assistant-surgeon, 3 sergeants, 1 drummer, 79 rank and file, 8 women and 8 children; total, 94; and in the Mermaid, 1 field officer, 1 captain, 1 lieutenant, 1 ensign, 1 assistant-surgeon, 7 sergeants. 3 drummers, 174 rank and file, 19 women, and 18 chil dren; total, 226. A detachment of the 64th arrived in the Earl of Balcarras with the above, consisting of 1 field officer, 2 captains, 7 subalterns, 12 sergeants, 2 drummers, 242 rank and file, 20 women, and 44 children; total, 340; all of which have joined the head quarters. The death of Albert Gallatin, in the 89th year of his age, is announced in the last accounts from New York. He was a native of Geneva, Switzerland. He emigrated to the United States in 1781, repaired to Maine, and was a volunteer in the American army. For a short time he taught French in the Ilarvard Univer sity. He removed to Virginia, engaged in business, negaired property, and was eventually settled in Con gress. • RAILWAY PARCELS.—One of the longest answers ever lodged in Chancery since the remarkable case of "Small v. Attwood," has just been filed, in answer to a bill of great length filed by a leading railway company against a carrier in Black'riars, who had brought actions against the company to recover for lost parcels, and to try the validity of the charges made to the extent of about 2001. The answer occupied seventy-three skins of parchment of the largest size. EXCURSION TRAINS.—The railway company con tinue their cheap Sunday excursion trains from London. The number of persona who availed themselves of this great convenience on Sunday was 1,300 They were brought in two trains, one of 24. the other of 19 car riages. Of excurtionists from Brighton the numbers were—to Hasseek's-gate, 112; to Burgess-hill , 3 6 ; and to Hayward's Heath, 43. The weather was delightfully fine during the whole day.

In giving the first Oast the Nobl© and teemed CHAIRMAN 511, it was quite unnecessary to preface such a propos4l with any obs-rvations for the purpose of re commeticling it; but ho could not avoid stating the infinite gratification he bad derived from seeing that a i i her Majesty, on h er l ate v i sit to the sister kingdom of Ireland, had b e en recived wfftheero such unanimous un divided sentiments of loyal et, r t a h n a d t no ; one single word had been mentioned either of Repeal or 'any other subject which coull divide the people of that very loyal part of the Queen's dominions. —(Chters.) The Irish were a most amiable, a most warm-hearted people. Their habit was to give way to impulse; but in this case impulse had been consistent with principle and reason, which made it much more respectable. He remembered their impulse in 1821, when the Queen's royal uncle went over, was to carry him on shore upon their backs and to subscribe a palace fur him. He was glad they did not practise such foolery now; he was glad on their own account, because it made their loyal and respectful demeanour towards her Majesty more valuable in his eyes, and he had no doubt in hers, for her Majesty was a person of acute mind, and she was none the worse, fur she never would have got a palace if they had subscribed.—(A laugh.) He inquired after wards, and found there never had been - a farthing Sub scribed for &palace to George IV.—(A laugh.) It was gratifying to find that all faction and all wrongheaded notions were put down, and that her Majesty was re ceived as she would be in every part of her dominions, with the respectful loyalty of faithful subjects, and with the gratitude which rational men owed to a Sovereign who upon all occasions acted on the true principles of our Constitution, and whose private life was as bright an example as her public life was constitutional. The toast was received with all the honours. The health of " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of -Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," followed, amidst much cheering. Lord BROUUHAM, in proposing " Our Gallant De fenders in the-Army and Navy," observed that there was no person °tic of the Society of Friends, and not many in that respectable and excellent body, who had a greater horror of war than he had. He held it in absolute, utter, and irreconcilable a bh orrence . —(Ch eers .) H e regarded: it as the greatest of all evils; but, unfortu nately, as men were constituted, it was a necessary evil. They could net help it. It was not necessary that there .hould be war; but as long as there was war, it was 'ab • solutely necessary that there should be the means of self-defence.—(Cheers.) There were two ways of pre venting war—one by preaching in favour of peace, in great meetings as they were called in this country, or congresses as they were termed by foreigners.—(A laugh.) He had the greatest respect for those meetings. and for the gentlemen who there displayed their love of peace. Perhaps he should have more respect for some of them if they had not displayed their love Of war at other meetings in London; but probably they hid been con verted on their way scrois the Entlisli Channel. His notion of preserving peace was to be prepared to defend ourselves in war.—(Loud cheers) While man was man they could not settle their disputes by arbitra 'ion. No doubt grave. questions were oftenNettled' by arbitration at law ; but there, parties were ; beund to submit. Suppose the doctrine were applied to nations, Ind instead of defending, themselves by gallant officers, brave soldiers, great' aehnirals, and captains-With ex cellent ships, they had-to,rely oft arbitration, this would happen—au arbitrator would be appoined between us and France, he might decide against France, and then France would go to war with us—appealing to arms against the award of the arbitrator.—(Cheers.) Charles Fox had. justly said that no war was worth one-hun dredth part of the cost, even if successful ; its only 'de fence was that it might be absolutely necessary in de fence of national honour ; but how would he have looked if he had lived to hear it seriously proposed that armies should be disbanded, navies broken up, ships placed in ordinary, the Admiralty and Horse Guards abolished, and everything left to arbitration ?—(Cheers.) He hal been invited tu'attend the Congress now sitting in Paris, and he now gave his ens% er to the invite ,ion. As long as wa had a gallant ,army and an invin cible navy there was no great risk of any nation being rash enough to attack us, and that was a very good security foryeace,- 7 (Cheers.) Colonel Low - rnprt, for the army, and Captain WARD ta IV, forlthe navy, returned thanks. Lord Beouctiiat then, in a highly complimentary speech, proposed the health of the Earl of Lonsdale pa iron of the society and Lord-Lieutenant of the county. The Earl of LONSDA.LE returned thanks, drawing a favourable contrast between the state of farming now .end what it was 30 years ago. indicating the many im provements which had been eff, cted, and staiieg that he romself had laid down a line of deep draining extending 300 miles. His Lordship was much cheered in the course of his speech. Lord BItoUGHAM then proposed, " The Health of the High Sheriffs ot the two Counties." The High Sherifi of Westmoreland was not present, but Mr. Hudleston, the High-Sheriff for Cumberland, was, and they all knew and respected him as a neighbour and a country gentleman. Although he hoped he should not have to exercise his functions in respect to any of them—(A laugh)—he had no doubt, if required to do so, he would execute his office with great mildness and discre tion.—(Much laughter.) Mr. IlunLEsToN, in returning thanks, observed that he had not only duties to perform connected with the execution of the law in extreme cases, as had been hinted by his Noble Friend; his functions were also brought into play when county elections took place, and, as his Noble Friend had made them merry at his expense, he would be even with him. At one of their former agricultural meetings in that town an incident occurred which would no doubt be in the recollection of many present. During the exhibition of stock two boars which bad bzen placed in adjoining pens broke down the rail between them and attacked e .ch other most ferociously. The one came from Lowther, and the other was said to have come trom Brougham.—(Roars of laughter.) Great was the onslaught;—(Laughter)—shrill were the cries of the combatants;—(Laughter)—loud the exclamations of the spectators. "Go it, Brougham!" "At him again, Lowther!"—(Laughter.) And bloody Has the field ere the combatants could be separated.—(Laughter.) He was sure he spoke the feelings of all members of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Agricultural Society, e hen he said he was delighted to see here present, cheek by jowl, Lord Brougham and the Earl of Lonsdale— the heads of the two houses of LoWther and Brougham, harmoniously partaking of their hospitality. They were much indelEed to them for their kindness and support. The patronage of his Noble Friend, Lord Brougham, had added most materially to the interest of the occasion, as no doubt it did to the joviality of their assemblage. The next toast proposed by the Noble Chairman was " The health of the Bishop and Clergy of th e diocese, " which was acknowledged by the Rev. Dr. Bowstead. Lord BROUGIIAM then rose, and said he had now to p ro pose, as the immediate business of the day, " Success to the Cumberland and Westmoreland Agricultural Society," whose great proceedings of the cattle show had brought them this day together. He ought to ap proach such a subject as that, on which he was generally spt eking so ill-informed, and of which he had really no practical experience, with very great distrust of him self ; but, nevertheless, he could not help feeling that he should ill discharge his duty as their president on that occasion if he were altogether to repudiate the subject. They were met certainly to avoid all allusion whatever to political topics, and to unite in that which should further one of the greatest interests of mankind—the cultivation of the soil. His Noble Friend, the head of the society, and Lord-Lieutenant of the county, had set him the example of abstaining from any refer ence to disputed points, sueb as those connected with the trade in provisions. He cheertully adopted the principle, and would avoid the contested ground altogether. He would also join him in hold iug this opinion—that whatever might be the effect of the late very important change in the law and policy ot this country with respect to the corn-trade, all men must admit that its first tendency, whatever might be its ultimate effects, was rather, upon the whole, be would not say of a kind to press hard upon the pro- , ducer of food, upon the tiller of the earth, upon the land lord or the tenant-farmer, but rather to stimulate (or that was the moral he drew from it—to stimulate him to all measures of improvement whareby he can make his trade more profitable and his land monre_efp ductiee.—(Cheera.)

CATHOLIC FITTINGS. Sill LL IR EER'S FUNERAL ESTABLISIDIEN r, City-road, near Finsbury-square. Originated in 1842, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Potasmotrrn, TIJURSDAY.—The Admiralty have been employed to-day in inspecting the Excellent gunnery establishment, Captain Chads, C 8., trans acting official business, inspecting the defective machinery of the Victoria and Albert, &c. A number of rope-mak , rs and riggers'-labourers are to be dis charged. The Board entertained all the heads of the local departments and a few friends at the George Hotel this evening, which may be considered the close of their onerous labours as official visitants to the port for the present year. The Arrogant steam drigate, Captain Fitzroy, came out of the basin this morning to finish her refit along side the Blake hulk. The Cormorant steam•sloop, Commander Schom berg, was hauled down the harbour to the Maidstone coaling-hulk, to take in her stock this morning. It is reported she will take the place of the Inflexible on the East India station. Wind—W.S.W., light airs, and cloudy weather. TILE MEDITERRANEAN. Extract of a letter dated the 22d inst :—" The Pasha of Egypt's yacht Sharkie left under steam on the 20th, with a strong breeze from the N.W. During her stay here numerous were the visitors, who expressed themselves much satisfied with the kind reception and courteous attention they received from her captain and officers. Mehemet Ali and his son Ibrahim are no more, and it is very doubtful if the pre sent Pasha of Egypt will ever use her as a yacht. Her Majesty's steamer Spitfire arrived on the 18th, having been relieved by the Locust. All was quiet at Naples, Palermo, and Messina. The steam-frigate Terrible, Captain Ramsay, returned on the 20th from taking a survey of Graham's shoal, the least water on which was found to be thirty-two fathoms. Six miles to the eastward of the above mentioned another shoal had been discovered with eighteen fathoms on it. lier Majesty's steamer Growler, Commander Stod dart, arrived early yesterday morning, having on hoard the two sons of the Emperor of Morocco and their suite, amounting to eighty-five persons, amongst whom are two very ancient female nurses to take care of the infant Royal pilgrims (aged twenty five and twenty years), who were saluted shortly after anchoring with twenty-one guns from each ship of the squadron, and manned yards. Soon after war.is the Commander-in Chief, accompanied by the Admiral-Superintendent and the Captains of the fleet, waited on their Royal Highnesses, who with their suite live under a tent rigged up for them on the poop of the vessel. The Growler has on board ten Arab horses intended as presents to the various Sheks to whom the Princes in their pilgrimage to and from Mecca may wish to present them. The Growler proceeds to-morrow to Alexandria with her royal freight. The Oberon and Spitfire steamers, under the orders of Captain Sir James Stirling, of the Rowe, 120, left yesterday evening to search for a rock said to be situate between 90 and 100 miles to the eastward of Malta. Some months hack an iron steamer from the eastward put into Malta, and was docked, she having reported striking on the said rock, and had two or three sheets stove in. Sir James has with him a lieutenant and the master of the Howe, and upwards of twenty young gentlemen belonging to different ships. It is to be hoped that the search will be a successful one ; the rock has been talked of for the last thirty years. The surveying vessels have not been able to find it, and there are many who doubt its existence. On the return of the Spitfire it is said her crew will be turned over to the Volcano, to convey that vessel to England. " Ships in Harbour—The Caledonia (flag), llowe, Powerful, Vengeance, Terrible, Olin, Growler, Mer lin, Ceylon, Volcano, and Triton. " The Thetis is on her way from Genoa to Malta, to be docked. The Bellerophon and Porcupine are at Leghorn ; the Bull log at Civita Vecchia ; Prince Regent and Locust at Nap!es; Frolic on the coast of Syria; Anr.elope on passage to Corfu; Medusa at Marseilles; Obzron and Spitfire in search of the rock." ROYAL MARINES. The Portsmouth division were inspected at Gosport tills day by the Lords of the Admiralty. A further reduction of the corps is again rumoured The young officer lately on duty at the main guard-house , who was arrested for not reporting the salute to the garrison by the Russian frigate Pallas, on Sunday., was released on Wednesday ; the Lieut.- Governor h t::ken a hlnient view of his offence, owing to 'Ms; inexperience.

That was the fact.—(Cheers.) He mentioned this to show how the wisest of men were very wrong when they came to speculate on futurity. God knows we acre poor limited beings, not always seeing what was around and about us, and never at all what will be in the future. But it always was the opinion maintained by those with whom he associated cn this subject—it was the most important lesson that could he drawn from the result of that contreversy, end whatever easpened to press on the farmer, it was the more important lesion for Mtn to learn—it became deathly slid trebly imps rant that he should move all his p erers, an i pot all leis energiv s is fier ce and action for the purpeee of increases g the produce of Ids laed and dineuishieg the expense of Isis cultivation.— (Cheers.) That tees the greeted on which they ina.slit Sill meet, a hatever their opieisma on local peatees or general pitta's might be. Ills friend the High Shelia', fleeing paused some time in the East, had imported au eripetel erlogue, tor which he did not believe, there was the slightest tome:alien in fact.— (A laugh.) Ire that excellent Arabian iVisehts' tale he ;nave them an account of a fight between a bloc bsar and a yellow boar, and Ira the time might come when, as the ereechere of peace and arbitration promised. " the lion should lie down with the lamb"—although that was lien Lkely soon to happen— he did not know what progress lied b'en made in Africa towards taming the la'n, by paring his claws. and meek hie him submit with sci-uore in hand; but long before that the blue and the }el ow boar were certainly at peace with each weer on the pre:eut occasion. —(Cheers, and a laugh.) If they would allow him to make a somewhat scholastic allegory on the subject, he ould say that, as the opticians told them that the mixture of the two colours, yellow and blue, made green, so did their mix ture here naturally tend towards the object of their pre sent meeting—th e improvement of the green earth.— (Cheers) He must then be permitted to say, that this improvement, which was every man's interest—the intt - rest of the lendlerd, of the tenant farmer, of his workmen, or all the people whether connected with land or net, as consumers, ought to be strenuously, actively, anel mire wittingly pursued. Ilis Noble Friend had justly sdverted to the great importance of draining. It did not require a man to know much of fartnieg to appreciate the importance of that rustier. For himself, he hardly knew more than the difference between an ox and a sheep—(A laugh)—he scarcely went further in his knowledge of stock than that. H. , might be able tee dis criminate barley from wheat. With barley and rye he might, perhaps, tie taken in. —(A laugh )In short, he knew almost as little as the Legislature on the subject.— (A laugh.) It was utterly impossible to know less.—(A laugh ) For instanc!, they passed a measure—a most important measure, for it was a model Act—the Muni cipal Clauses Act., impesing various penalties for over driving cattle. They d.d not know an ox or cow to be cattle; and, in the interpretation clause, which had been very carefully framed, they said—putting forth, no doubt, all the knowledge they possessed—" cattle shall be taken to mean horses"—not very likely to be overdriven ; " goats"—not very likely to be overdriven; " mules" —hardly ever seen—(A laugh)—" swine"—not to be driven.—(Laughter.) They might as well talk of driving the Legislature, the ' s eedy way of driving them was to pull them back,—(Laughter continued.) Ilow e ver, the Legislature left out oxen and cows as if they were not " cattle," and very likely to be aver driven.—(A laugh ) He knew almost as little as the Legislature; but, without knowing much more, he could easily tell that as long as the earth was a sponge of water, as in many parts of the country—some, not far off he was sorry to say it—still remained, it was utterly useless in ploughing and putting in manure. He had actually seen people throwing lime into wet ground making lime water, very good for a - burn, but of no use to make the ground dry. His Noble Friend near him had taken the judicious course—deep draining. (Cheers.) He had drained to an enormous extent; and be would go on draining until he made his land doubly valuable. From many practical agriculturists he knew that the effect of deep draining had been to double the value of the land.—(Cheers.) After they had drained it was of the greatest importance no doubt to attend to manure; and a friend of his who had attended very much to that subject produced a most valuable inven tion which had been patented in France, and would have been patented in this country but for his death. It would have been a very great accession to the powers of manure both in respect of cheapness and e ilicacy. But a very great step had been made lately, and approved of by all farmers, not merely specu lative but practical, with whom he had the opportunity of cons ersing. He alluded to the effect of liquid manure. This he knew, that Lord Fortescue, himselt a very ex cellent farmer, stated lately at, a meeting of a sanitary association that manure in a state of liquidity, itepreg mated with offal, applied to the eoil—when the experi ment was tried on a moderate scale, raised the value of the land from 7a to 165,, and when tried on a most ex tensive scale, the value was increased by the I:quid flow in the proportion of 71. to liBi.—(Cheers.) Lerd Fer tescue gave the details of these experiments, and he hoped they weuld be printed and cireuldted. The operation required no apparatus —no expense of outlay. It only required that sufficient water shau be applied to the manure—that there should be no sort of hydrophobia. no fear by diluting of destroyirg its fort (Cheery.) The amount of waver was meest me( rink to the success of the a ; plication. Celore sitting down ho wished to allude to anethe r matter, which he thought very ma terial—relating t machinery. He had been very much delighted to see so good a show of valuable engines, some of them most ingenious and very reasonable in price, for churning, leo: ing, threshing, and so forth. A friend of his, a practical agriculturist, informed him that a ver y important ste p h a d been taken for the purpose of saving Ilooar, and thereby economizing the expense of produc tion, and object which, with care and judicious mechanical contrivances, was always in our power, even when we could not increase the fertility of the soil.—(Cheers.) Toe most valuable experiments had been made in the application of steam on a small scale. People were apt to suppose that steam could only be employed on a gigantic scale, fur locomotion on railways, or in great manufacturies: of various kinds; and of course, in pro portion to the size of the engine was its expense, both in first cost, and in working it by means of fuel. But in the town of Glasgow a person had been able to have a steam-engine not larger than a teakettle—he had seen such an one himself ; in one instance he had heard of one fleet larger than a teapot, which was quite capable of driving a small turning lathe on which a cutler could work.—(Cheers.) Still it might be said this power had only been employed in manufactures ; but it might, with the greatest possible advantage in saving labour, be introduced into agriculture as well as manufactures. —(Cheers.) Thrashing machine's, straw•cutting ma chines, and various other engines, might be worked most advantageously by the application of steam; and he had the most confident, sanguine hope that he should live to see this new and most valuable extension of the appli cation of steam.—(Cheers.) Why not ? His Noble Friend had asked them to cast their eye back for thirty years; and most judicious was his reference. Never had he seen such beautiful cattle, such magnificent horses and bulls, as he had seen that day —not to mention their extraordinary exhibition of poultry. Thirty years ago no man could have contemplated such a thing north of the Trent. He ventured to say, that as great progress had been made during the last twenty or thirty years, in farming and stock, through Cumberland and ‘Vestmore land, as in any other part of England.—(Cheers.) Perhaps one re.-son was, they hai very great occasion for improvement; fur, certainly, thirty years ago, they were riot quite in the state they eught to have been.— (A laugh.) Bur, with reference to steam, it any one, thirty or forty years ago, had said we should go to Lon don and back in twenty-four hours by steam, they would have been laughed to scorn, as though the thine were utterly, absolutely, physically impossible. Dr. Darwin, indeed, by a most wonderful gilt of prophecy, antici pat e d the day when he said— " Soon shall thy powers gigantic steam afar Push the slow bark, drive the reluctant car." But ho was supposed to be a visionary. Mr. Canning noel other wits laughed at hire for his poem; but had Dr. Darwin lived, he might have laughed at them for the ridicule cast on him; for now steam was the great loco motive power in the universe. It travelled over the sea and over the land—over the sea in spite of tide, current, and wind—over the laud almost iu spite of time itself.— (Cheers.) What reason had they to doubt that the same wonderful engine which Watt showed applicable to pump up water from the bowels of the earth, split rocks in pieces, or manufacture the machinery of a watch, shall be applied to something between the te to some of the agricultural works whicn could no o w ur on y be executed by dint of well-paid human lab estion ? (Cheers.) He could not help thinking th b e et s te e r gg system well worth the attention of farmers, that of keeping their accounts, as tendi ng wealth in itself, a to a economy above all, arid to regularity, a great seu , re te e d. —(cheers.) He aheual be more generally d p dafarmer, on a considerable o s o cale. hardly ever knew a gres a t t et e who did not to a cer tainscale. or one on a themoderato office of his own accountant, degree p erfer r le M set of books, as tradesmen were keeping a regular o.

Ile ,lever co uld tell exactly what st a t e h e was i n —what was I s i s expenditure, what were his gains or losses, without regular or systematic bookkeeping. He therel ore strongly recommended his agricultural friends, although they might not he so well educated as Shoo he now addressed, and started back from pen and ink, to adopt a good system of accounts.—(Cheers.) The Noble and Learned Lord concluded, amidst loud cheers, by giving a Success to the Cumberland and Weetmorelend Agricultural Society," which was duty hanaured. Mr. SENilousE., the Vice-President, proposed "The health of the Members of the two Counties." Colonel Lowther, Mr. E. Stanley, the Hon. C. 11. Howard, Mr. W. Marshall, and Captain Lowther seve rally returned thanks. The awards having been read, and the health of the judges drur.k, The Earl of LONSDALE proposed the health of Lord Brougham. He lelt utterly unable adequately to express the sense of obligation which he, in common with all then present, felt to his Noble Friend for having con sented to take the chair upon that occasion. —(Cheers.) They all knew the great variety of his Noble Friend's attainments, as well as his great iuduitry and quickness in attaining knowledge of every kind. His acquire meats wen! in truth the surprise and admiration of all who had watched his career —and who had not? — (Cheers.)
