The largestand most siaendid in the world at the under-mentioned charges, warranted equal in *very respect, as regards quality, 'style, and fashion, to any emanating from the most fashionable houses at the West-end, where those who pay prompt are obliged to suffer for persons who take unlimited credit. The Proprietor having six very extensive establishments, advantageously situated in theprincipal Manufacturing towns in the kingdom, and having capital at corn- Mend, he is enabled to take every advantage of the fluctuations of the markets, independently of which he is a manufacturer of a great part of his stock. His enormous consumption enables him to buy immense quantities of goods of very first-rate quality for cash, considerably below their real value; and as he pursues but one system in selling, charging a uniform per centage, the lowest ever offered to the public : the result is that those who honour him with their confidence and commands will receive the full benefit of his capital and experience. An immense quantity of goods always on hand, suitable for immediate use, made in first rate style and fashion, and at really astonishing prices. The Proprietor particularly invites attention to his immense stock of waistcoats, the newest, and richest designs are always kept on hand, ready made, splendidly cut, and manufactured in the best possible manner : and he can say, without exception, that he is the largest maker in the kingdom, 1,000 Waistcoats king manufactured daily for his various Establishments.

Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times:"— " Sir —I think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and Which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months a.° I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured any ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con nued very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered dreadfully from 'severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the ar ms. Having exhatisted every resource of relief which I and 113 Y medical friends in the country could suggest, to no Purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con suiting Si r B en j am i n B rod i e or Mr. Li ston — t h en to a d opt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night. nor have I had one since. The next tm.rning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was 441 e to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive, medical practice in the county of Stafford I know of 1 ,1 0 medi c i na l compound possess i ng suc h won d er ful efficacy. In aidin g my test i mony to 11Ir. Feaver's Embrocation, am iac tuated by no other m o ti ve than g , atitude to hint , an , f a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow. suf ferer'. Possessing as I ever dal, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a .ystem w hi c h, g enerally speaking, I know to be nothing but a refarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.. Carmock, near Walsall, S , aff ird3hire. P . S.

STARCH. —BROWN and POLSON b eg t o in vite the attention of laundresses and the public to their PATENT POWDER STARCH, unequalled for strength, colour, and purity. It gives a fine and glossy finish, does not stick to the iron, and requires no boiling. The annexed certi ficate of that eminent chemist, Dr. Fyfe, will prove that it is free of potatoe, and contains no deleterious ingredient. " I hereby certify that I have submitted to chemical investi gation the starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison, of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article, conse quently free front any ingredient that would act injuriously even on the finest fabric. From trials conducted with it under sny own superintendence, I have found that in starching it goes farther than the best kinds of patent starch, that it gives an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not iable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of manufacturing the starch in all its stages, I am satisfied that potatoe flour is not used in its manufacture. " AW. FYFE, M.D., F. R.

Sold by Chemists, Italian Warehousemen, and Grocers, in half-pound and one pound packages, at 9d. per pound.

This bankrupt was described as a bill-broker and foreign merchant. The amount of debts and liabili ties were stated in his schedule to be 27,8001., while the available assets at present amounted to 5,7501., and a further sum of 4,0001. was expected to be realised from a consignment to the West Indies, made by the bankrupt and a person named Weston. This day being appointed for the final adjourned examination of the bankrupt and a proof of debts, a number of creditors were in attendance, and further claims for 8,7651. were established. The body of the creditors not offering any opposi tion, and the bankrupt having rendered the usual ac counts, he was declared entitled to pass his final exa mination. PO LICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) GUILDHALL. James Jackson, a mechanical instrument maker, was placed at the bar, charged with attempting to steal a piece of broad cloth, the property of the Patent Woollen Cloth Company, Moorgate-street. The prisoner was seen to put his hand in at the window, which is about five feet fro:4 the ground, and try to lift the piece of cloth in question off the shelf. He was therefore given into custody.. The prisoner was well known to the police, having been three times convicted of felony. As the property was not removed, The MAGISTRATE said he could only commit the pri soner to the House of Correction for a month. BOW-S7REE7. Two young men, the one a waterman and the other a labourer employed at the Iron Steam Boat Pier, were charged, the latter with resisting the police and the former with attempting to rescue the latter. Policeman . F 82 stated, that in consequence of what he . heard, he went down to the Adelphi-stairs, when he found two men who had fallen into the water and were drunk, sitting shivering on the side of a barge • they . were surrounded by a num b er o f people, and witness thought it was wrong to allow the ere, and he wanted to take them on shoie when the toriner prisom-A---tryia -€6:llltt.r -fere, and said that the police were always poking their noses into places where they were not wanted. Wit ness was nearly shoved into the water, and in at tempting to take that prisoner into custody the other interfered and attempted a rescue. The prisoners said that they had just saved the two men in question from drowning; the labourer had held them up in the water for nearly five minutes, and when the policeman came up they were both very much exhausted, and could scarcely breathe. He (the policeman) was excessively overbearing in his conduct, and knocked them about in a disgraceful manner. A gentleman named Russell here came forward for the purpose, as he said, of bearing testimony to the very improper conduct of the policeman. So l ing as the men were in the water the policeman did not come near, but directly the men at the. bar- rescued them from the water the policeman came bustling up to the place with Much importance, and shoved every one about in a most disgraceful manner. He wished to shove every one away who had been concerned in saving the men. _ _ HALL said the evidence of the policeman had not been at all disproved. He should fine them 10s. each, or in default commit them to the House of Cor rection for seven. days. We suppose the poor fellows must go to prison. _41,4 I?LBOROUGH-STREET. Ellis Hartley and Alfred Thomas Gowland, two fashionably-dressed young men, were placed at the bar, charged by William Varney, a labouring man, with assault, &c. Complainant, his wife, and child, were coming down the Hampstead••road about eleven o'clock on Saturday night, when the two defendants, and another who had escaped, violently pushed himself and child off the pavement. His wife asked what they meant by such conduct, when Hartley, who was partially intoxicated, struck him a violent blow on the head and then ran away. Complainant followed, and gave him into charge of a constable. The other pri soner used no violence. The prisoners could make no defence, and the Ma • gistrate (Mr. Rawlinson) stated that if defendants would remunerate complainant for the injury and loss of time, he would dismiss them both. Complainant was handed 205., and defendants left the bar. TRIAL OF THE RIOTERS. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, Sept. 2. Lord Denman and Mr. Justice Maule are energeti cally engaged in clearing the heavy " supplemental calendar." Every case is but an echo of the preced ing. The major portion of the prisoners were appre hended among the rioters. The unfortunate men are arraigned by the dozen or the-score, and in but a few cases are there acquittals, perhaps the evidence of identity seems questionable, or where witnesses are produced, to substantiate what is the commonly urged defence—viz., an accidental or involuntary en tanglement in the crowd. A batch of near twenty were tried at one time by Lord Denman this morn ing (some of them defended by Mr. Wilkins) for in timidating by tumultuous proceedings in Leeds. The evidence being clearly conclusive, Mr. WILKINs, on the part of his clients, said he re gretted he had not seen the depositions previously to the trial. Had he done so, he should certainly have advised them to retract the plea of " Not Guilty," for he had made up his mind all through these cases (in many of which he defended) never to advisedly aggra vate the offence of a prisoner by an unjustifiable alle gation of innocence. It was natural, looking at the crowds of unhappy men who were brought to the bar, for and eepspr t : o r olirtiv.frpefeue:flreiasttlecoys purposes of ofta e froi Nn:N d id, alhh e ce e iart i edse ) hn e og s sdN t fevoelona i fiNu n .%esi. lo d ohdttl i oie g t brvnete l achd a nel te:oi vanity or oocv llamented against ilsn; u:feiolenNore, tifeeedstdsihsasgfinroinuklseoleeslir3 successfully, hcelt o yoee. , urg bitt a family, and would be sorely felt through the whole country. Nor could too much anger be felt at con duct so cowardly and cruel, when it was pursued, as it had been (unless his information deceived him) ' by me n occupying the station of Magistrates, who had dared thus to excite the people against the laws, simply because, in the bigotry of so-called "Libe ralism," the laws did not suit their notions. Lord DENMAN here interrupting, said—Mr. Wil kins, I hardly think that I ought to hear that said— that Magistrates have incited the people to insurrec tion ! Besides, this question is not relevant to the matter on inquiry. Witnesses Nvere then called, who gave the prisoners good characters --one or two of thpm having been teachers in Sunday schools. During Mr. Wilkins's address most of the pri soners sobbed with grief, antl seemed heartily sorry for their folly. • Lord DENIM AN, in addressing the Jury, said it was of the utmost importance that all men, especially those in the situation of the prisoners, should clearly understand, that by the law of England any man voluntarily lending —even if by presence only—his sanction and . support to riotous and unlawful mobs, was guilty of a participation in the offences in which they were involved. For it was the very numbers which gave force and invested with terror these illegal assemblies ; and each individual present, and 'silently aiding and abetting in their lawlessness, was as a private in a large army of rioters carrying the terror and the violence of invasion into peaceably disposed districts of her Majesty's d om i n i ons. Still, however, on the part of the peopl e o f thi s coun t r y, h e mu s t assert the right .of free discussion, and of peaceable statement of grievances. But there was a very wide difference between meeting for the purposes of peace able discussion, or of petitioning the Sovereign and the Parliament—there was a wide difference between this and assembling riotously, and to the terror of the peaceable Subjects of her Majesty, and with the view of committing acts grossly illegal and tyrannical. Nor was it fair or just to trace to perfectly legal and constitu tional discussion all the unlawful acts which might thereafter be committed. Unfortunately, it was mat ter for astonishment and lamentation that, after all that had been done to enlighten and educate the peo ple, and, he would fearlessly add, to improve their condition and promote their comforts,_ there should be found in this country men, by the hundred and the thousand, ready to assemble together fOr the absurd the insane, the suicidal purpose ot throwing men it their own circumstances out of employment, and thus increasing terribly the distress which unhappily ex isted. The Judges would certainly endeavour to give full effect to every circumstance of palliation; but the monstrous and unheard-of tyranny of preventing men from working who were willinOy engaged in Work, mist be met with condemnation ; and it was far from mitigation—it was aggravation—that men of education and of religious profession should have taken a share in 'these proceedings, which might have pro duced bloodshed. men were arraigned In nth pri en s e o x n t er c s as w e e , r a e bo c u o t niet a v do e z d e . n for attempting to stop works near Leeds, and the evi dence was similarly conclusive.. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, said, in the present case two of the men had asked for money to depart and were it not that the firmness of the proprietor of the works had resisted the demand, they would now have been taking their trial, not for. misdemeanour, but for felony of a most serious nature. The Jury convicted all but one, recommending several to mercy.—The sentences were deferred. Mr. S. Wortley and Mr. Baines, with Mr. Pollock, prosecute. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. A great many of the rioters, on being arraigned, pleaded Guilty. The delusion all the prisoners seemed to have la boured under was, that if they abstained from violence they could not be convicted—an error expressively exemplified in the language of many among them when asked to plead to the indictments, that language very commonly being, " Guilty only of having been present." Their error was abundantly corrected, the Learned Judge taking care to have it well under stood that any man voluntarily present with an un lawful assembly incurred the guilt in which they were collectively involved, whether or not he were proved to have actively participated in the proceedings ; that what was done under dread of or by means of the terror inspired by a large mob, was the effect of cri minal violence, in which all persons present (unless involuntarily) were involved. The Judges went on rapidly clearing the calendar, though some 30 cases were added since it was printed, prisoners being arraigned in parties of from one or two to a dozen, and the evidence often occupying not more than a few minutes, the short simple facts to be deposed to being the presence and participation in riotous proceedings when the stopping of works was attempted. Mr. S. Wortley and Mr. Bathes left to-day, and the prosecutions were then carried on b y Mr. H all , Mr. Granger (M.P.) Mr. Denman, &c.. Great satisfactionwas universally expressed at the careful consideration and humane feeling which the 1-....= - =.0.- 1 ---T‘adgras displayed thromg. bout these tedious trials, every circumstance of palliation or extenuation being attentively and kindly elicited. The conduct of the Counsel, too, empl o y e d for the prosecution, has called forth general approbation, they having dis oharged their duty with as much forbearance as ability. About half-past five o'clock, nearly simultaneously in both Courts, the trials terminated, and the Learned Judges congratulated the Jurors on the close of per haps the most arduous assizes ever known. The Sentences were to be delivered this morning (Monday.) STEAM NAVIGATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Having read the expose in the Times of this morning of the discouraging situation of the different Atlantic Steam Navigation Companies, I take the liberty of offering a few suggestions with respect to the West India and North American lines, which I think are worthy of the serious consideration of those companies, and would receive the attention and con currence of the Government, if properly brought under their notice. Almost every person who possessed a knowledge of the expense of steam-ships pronounced from the beginning that the W es t I n di a C o mpany must prove a failure, and the prediction has unfortunately been realised. It is now generally understood that the Company have made a new arrangement with Go vernment, by which certain parts of their contract have been modified, and the service to be performed greatly reduced. They were obliged by their origi nal contract to dispatch a steamer every fortnight from Havannah to New Orleans, Charleston, New York, and Halifax, for what purpose no one could ever conjecture; this service is under the modified contract to be dispensed with. St. Thomas is to be ma le the central depot, from which, on the arrival of the steamer every fortnight from England, four steamers are to be dispatched to the British islands, but the mals for Mexico and the foreign islands are only b be forwarded by every alternate steamer, or once a month. These alterations will doubtless effect a considerable saving, but they will never either retrieve the affairs of the Company, nor will the public derive the ad vantage of having the mails carried with greater cer tainty or speed. The principal evil remains unaltered. The Company, have undertaken, and still persist in the plan of conveying the mails between the islands in steamers of 1,500 tons and 500 horses power, whereas the ,e:vice could be performed at less than one half of thy: expense by steamers of 500 tons and 200 horses' power, and with a much greater degree of certainty, the smaller Steamer being much. more manageable, and much better adapted for running into harbours. Any man acquainted with the expense of steamers will inform you that as you increase the size and power of a ship you increase the expense in a much greater ratio ; the expenditure and wear and tear of a vessel of 1,200 tons, and 400 horses' power, will be far more than double that of one of 600 tons, and 200 horses' power. It appears, also, that the North American steamers which have performed their work with such admi rable regularity have made no profit, and no body of private individuals will continue a service which in volves so great au amount of capital, without receiving a remuneration. As the present line of communica tion with the West Indies seem s to be defective, and must soo-er or later be abandon e d , I would propose that the West India mails be forwarded via Halifax by the present line of steamers, and that the West India Company take them thence to St. Thomas (or any other central island in the West Indies) in a large steamer, to be then dispersed in smaller steamers throughout the islands, and I will now proceed to prove the Practicability of my plan by showing the great expense which will be saved by its adoption, without increasing the distance or time ; and I would beg any person who may read this letter, and who takes an interest in the subject, to look to the position of Liverpool or Southampton, Halifax, and St. Thomas, on the map, and then read the following statement, and I think he will agree with me that the mails can be landed in the West Indies, via Halif ax , in as short a time as they are at present, and at nearly one-half the expense. The distance from Southampton to St. Thomas is about 4,000 miles, w hich the W es t I n di a s t eamers occupy about 20 days in performing. The distance from Liverpool to Halifax is about 2,500 miles, which, by a statement which recently appeared in the Nautical Magazine, the North Ame rican steamers have pe rformed, w i n t er an d summer , in an average of 13 days on the out war d voyage , an d 10 to 11 days on the homeward voyage. The dis tance from Halifax to St. Thoma s is a b ou t 1,800 miles starting in goo d t r i m , from not bein g obliged which a steamer, to take in a full cargo of coals, would perform in eight days. The average tithe, therefore, of landing - the - mails at St. Thomas via Halifax, would be 21 clays ) and the homeward mails would be landed at Liverpool via Halifax in 18 or 19 days. I think that this statement, based riot upon suppo sition, but upon facts ' will clearly prove that the mails to and from the West Indies may be sent via Halifax in as short a time as they are at present. Will now give you what I consider a fair state ment (of the saving which would be effected if this plan were adopted. I think both. Companies will allow that it costs them one sovereign for each and every mile they steam ; if, therefore, the distance from Southampton to St. Thomas be 4,000 miles, it costs the West India Company. 4,0001. per voyage out;. but if they sailed from Halifax to St. Thomas, a dis tance of 1,800 miles, it would only cost them 1,8001., making a saving of 2,2001. per voyage, or 52,800/. for 24 voyages. It is much more difficult to arrive at a correct conclusion of the saving which would be made if steamers of 200 or 250 horses' power were employed between the islands, instead of those of 500 horses ; btit I should estimate, from looking at the distances between the islands and to and from Mexico, that a saving of at least 4,0001. per month on all steamers employed might be accomplished, or 96,0001. for 24 voyages, making a total saving, by conveying the mails via Halifax, and substituting smaller ships in the West Indies, of 48,800/. per annum. It will be quite apparent from these statements that we have two lines of steamers, one said to be nearly ruined, and the other to be making no profit, passing over nearly 2,500 miles of the Atlantic, which would, by a little arrangement, be, just as well performed by one of them. _ The West India Company have now fourteen large steamers ; they might, if my plan were adopted, dis pose of ten of them, four being quite sufficient to convey the mails every fortnight from Halifax to the \Vest Indies ; and they could then build or purchase tour or five smaller steamers at a cost of 25,0001. each for the work between the islands. There would, no doubt, be a loss in the sale of the large steamers, but the first loss will prove the least. I am not fortunate enough to hold a share in either Company, and have to claim to your consideration on that score ; but I trust that my desire to see under takings so important to filo mercantile interests of our country meet with the success they merit, and which with a little arrangement and good manage ment they may yet obtain, may be offered as an apology for occupying so large a space of your valuable paper. I remain, your obedient servant, Sept. 1. A STOKER. P.S. The West India merchants would, I think, approve of the mails being forwarded via Halifax, as they would then have a direct communication with British North America, with which they have an important and extensive trade. THE LATE CAPTAIN SKINNER. BENGAL.—In our obituary to-day, we record, on sure information, the death of Captain Skinner, late of the Gist Regiment N. 1., and of the Commissariat (and very latterly the political) department in Aff ghanistan. He was highly regarded in his regiment. His gentlemanly manners and feelings, and his thorough kindness of heart, won for him the warm esteem of all his brother officers, and they have the satisthction now of knowing that, much as his loss is to be lamented, he had earned for himself a name which must cause his memory to be pre served with honour, and reflect credit on the corps of which he had been so many years a member, and in which his professional character may be said to have been formed. In the trying scenes of the memorable and awful retreat from Caubul to Jugdulluk, his noble conduct had gained not only the admiration of his friends merely, but the re spect of his enemies; and we are assured, upon un questionable authority, that even Akbar Khan grieved when he heard of Skinner's death, and thus showed himself not wholly destitute of the feelings of humanity ; and we also know it to be a fact that he had search made for the body, was successful in find ing it—unmutilated too—and had it decently interred —a solitary instance of real respect for a fallen enemy, by that man, which was extorted from him by his involuntary admiration of the courage, integrity, and wisdom of Capt. Skinner, of which the Khan still speaks whenever the name is mentioned. We have nia.v.,d4tails—fromial source, which differ some what from those furnished by a late number of the Bombay Times, on the subject of p oor Skinner, and we believe the reader may rely on them as being per feetly correct. When his house was attacked on the 2d of November last, and his life clamorously sought for by the_ruffians of the city, lie narrowly escaped into the house of an Affghan neighbour (opposite to his own) who saved him, in consideration of his for mer disinterested kindness to several members of the family, and whose aged mother, in defiance of great personal danger, and the prejudices of a Mussulman female, came forth in the midst of the affray, and seiz ing him by his hand, called him her son, and drew him into her house; and to the great risk of his pro tectors (whom we are sure Government will duly honour, if they are discovered when we get to Caubul —indeed it would be well if General Pollock named that family in a proclamation on arriving at the capi tal, as one that should be protected for that deed) he remained there—the sanctity of the harem being violated for his sake, in the recesses of which he lay concealed for upwards of a month. But Atneen Ool lab, who was then all powerful in Caubul, forced him at last from his sanctuary, but treated him well, and after a few days transferred him to Akbar Khan, who soon conceived a regard for him, and over whom he obtained so great an influence, that the prisoners have said, if mortal man could have saved our doomed army in the course of its retreat, poor Skinner could have done so; and it is felt by the ladies and other prisonera that they owed their lives, in that dread ful hour of danger, mainly to his efforts ; for through great personal risk (as may easily be conceived) and difficulty, he obtained frequent interviews with Akbar Khan, who, under Skinner's influence, at list agreed to save them. He endeavoured also, out of his pure personal regard, to save Skinner him self, urging him always to remain with him where alone was at that time safety, when the cry to mur der every Feringhee—man, woman, and child—was all over the hills ; but Skinner firmly resisted these persuasions, and after the interview rejoined his post, and at last, when Elphinitone and Shelton were pri soners, in the afternoon of the 12th of January, on an interview which the gallant and devoted young officer had with Akbar Khan, the latter actually laid hands on him to detain him (with a friendly motive) when Skinner exclaimed—" What, Sirdar, do you violate your faith with me ?"---to which Akbar answered,— " If you put that construction on my actions, go ; but I implore you to stay"—but Skinner would not, though then there was but a miserable remnant of the fOrce remaining, and those who now survive think he might have, without dereliction, constituted himself a prisoner. But he thought' otherwise—and we think he decided rightly and nobly, however fa tally for himself, poor fellow—and refused to abandon duty while any of the men still held together ; and while riding from Akbar's tent towards the handful of soldiers still remaining, he was shot—the deed hav ing been perpetrated by a Ghilzie Chief who followed him, and who is said to have been . jealous of his influence over Akbar Khan, and fearful lest it might be the means of obtaining the liberation of the prisoners, and the escape of the other survivors. Surely this Chief is known, and will be marked accord ingly. Thus fell Captain James Skinner of the 61st, an officer whose really great value to the ser vice was only thoroughly known when Government were about to be deprived of his services ; for one who, knew him well, in Affghanistan, and who is most competent to appreciate the qualifications that render an officer pre-eminently serviceable to the state, thus speaks of what we may call his local professional character :—" Had James Skinner lived, his perfect knowledge of the language, habits, and modes of thinking of the people of the country, and of their real social and political state, combined with his in fluence among all with whom he came in contact, from his acknowledged integrity, persuasive and gen tlemanly manners (for he had more tact in his inter course with Affghans than almost any man I have ever seen) and his various other qualifications as a servant of Government, must shdrtly have raised him to that station to which, although long entitled, his claims were not understood until the late adverse cir cumstances of his countrymen in Affghanistan called forth this display." The loss of an officer to whom, at a still early period of his life, such a character as this is deservedly given by one fully capable of a due appreciation of public conduct and character, is indeed a loss to Government, which is not to be supplied without very great difficulty, if to be fully supplied at all; but it must afford great and just consolation to Captain Skinner's friends and relatives to be able to say, on Buell undeniable grounds as those we have set forth, " he would have achieved honourable greatness in his country's service, had it pleased od to have spared him for a longer cours e of duty."—English man, June 14. Dr. Elliotson has left town on a visit to Lord Brougham, in Westmoreland. THE EDINBURGH MAGISTRATES. The following is copied from an Edinburgh paper. It relates, as our readers will see, to the chase of the Lord Provost (Sir James Forrest) and Bailies, after the Queen, on her arriving in Edinburgh earlier than they expected. The scene, from all accounts, was highly ridiculous. Some of the City functionaries, it would appear, had not time to put on even their ordi iiary vestments. It is lamentable to reflect that the kilt is now out of fashion. A NEW SONG. • (Air, " Jamie Forrest.") Hey, Jamie Forrest, are ye waukin' yet ? Or are your Bailies snorin' yet : If ye are waukin' I would wait, Ye'd hae a merry, merry mornin'. Hey Jamie, &c. The frigate guns they loud did roar, But louder did the Bailies snore, An thought it was an unco bore, To rise up in the mornin'. Hey Jamie, &e. And syne the Castle thunder'd loud, But kipper it is savoury food, And that the Bailies understood, Sae early in the mornin' Hey Jamie. &c. The Queen she's come to Granton Pier, Nae Provost and nae Bailie here ; They're in their beds, I muckle fear, Sae early in the mornin' ! - Hey Jamie, &c. The Queen she's come to Brandon-street, The Provost and the keys to meet, And div ye think that she's to wait Your waukin' in the mornin' ? Hey Jamie, &c. •My Lord, my Lord, the Queen is here ; And now my Lord he lookit queer — And what sets her so soon asteer, It's barely nine in the mornin' ! Hey Jamie, &c. Gae bring to me my robes o' state, Come, Bailies, we will catch her yet ; Run, run, my Lord, ye're ower late, She's been through the town this mornin'. Hey Jamie, &c. Awa' to Dalkeith ye maun hie, To mak your best apology ; The Queen she'll say, 0 fie ! 0 fie ! You're lazy loons in the mornin'. Hey Jamie, &c. THE SALE TESTIMONIAL. (From the Bombay Times.) We take blame to ourselves that we have not, be fore now, adverted to the subscription for a Sword, or testimonial of some sort, to Sir Robert Sale, now in progress amongst Bengal civilians. This move ment amongst t members of . the civil . service is as graceful as is well-merited ; and as its object, and he ,time of its selection, have been well chosen. The amount subscribed by each has been limited to a maximum of Rs. 10, and it is needless to state that no subscription under this has been set down. We have not observed what the grand total on the list presently amounts to, but we should think that, by the time the papers are called in, it might be guessed at by multiplying 460—the number of civil servants — by 10, the amount subscribed by each—that is, to Rs. 4,600. It is proposed to subscribe for a separate testimonial to Lady Sale : and certainly no thing can more tend to enhance the self-satisfaction which her heroic husband must feel at the position his own gallant conduct has procured for him, than to know how becomingly those who are dearest to him have borne themselves throughout a period of unexampled trial, where courage and patience were of such unappreciable value. It is, we trust, re served for Lady Sale to be the chronicler of those fearful scenes in the midst of which the hearts of so many men failed them, but where her's never for one moment quailed. And poor Sturt—yet why should we say poor of one who fills a hero's grave, where so many sleep forgotten,—in the midst of the homage paid to his living relations, his memory must not be unremembered. A nation's gratitude is due to them, and will be accorded them : —the evidence of the estimation in which they are held by their fellow-citizens will speedily be with them. We trust that the gallant veteran and his heroic lady,—with their bereaved daughter, the widow_ of the, bray-cot - who fell at lezeen, and who, had he found spirits congenial, might have saved Caubul—may speedily be restored to their country; and withdrawing themselves at length from the perils of war, live through many a tranquil day of the bright autumn of a green old age, to reflect on the deeds they have done, and the dangers and difficulties they have endured—knowing that, while England remains what she is and has ever been, it is on characters and conduct such as theirs that it is her pride and glory to dwell ! CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. (From Cleave's England and America contrasted.") The constitution is essentially popular, and there is no office in the country to which a naturalised foreigner is ineligible. The Government is strictly republican. The ad ministration of affairs is confided by the federal con stitution to three grand departments, namely, the legislative, executive, and the justiciary. The legis lative branch of government is composed of delegates chosen from the body of the people, for the period of two years, who are required to assemble in general congress annually, for the purpose of enacting such laws and deliberating upon such subjects as the exi gencies of the country at large may require. This body is denominated the House of Representatives, who, in conjunction with the Senate, composed of two Members from each State, chosen by the territorial legislatures, constitute the first department. The Executive branch of the Government is con stituted by the President, who is elected by the people for the period of four years, and the Senate, without whose advice and consent the President is almost wholly devoid of power, not having authority even to appoint his own cabinet council. Th e Judiciary is composed of seven Judges, nomi nated by the President, and confirmed by the Senate, who are supreme in all their decisions upon legal and constitutional questions referred to them in the shape of appeals, not only from State sovereignties, but also from the Grand Consolidated Union. These Judges are appointed during good.behaviour, and are ame nable to the people for official misconduct only through the medium of the United States' Senate. The Executive branch of the Government is subdi vided into the following departments. viz.:— Department of State Department of the State, Post-office Department, Department of War, Department of the Navy, Attorney-General, the heads of which are styled secretaries ; they are in eligible to a seat in either House of the 'National Representation, but sit as a Privy Council, for advice to the President in all matters with which he is offi cially charged. The three grand divisions of Go• vernment enact and carry into effect all laws of a ge neral nature, and superintend the welfare of the whole Union, but refer to local or State assemblies the power of governing themplves, agreeably to the wishes of the people, in their own particular mode • hence it is that no two of the States are governed ;like or sub ject to the same code of laws. The district of Columbia, which has been appro priated exclusively to the uses and purposes of the general Government, contains three cities, viz., Wash ingtO, Georgetown, and Alexandria. i n the former city are located the Capitol of the nation, the Presi dent's house, and all other public bu ildin g s, render ed necessary at the seat of Government. The Capitol is built after the plan of St. Peter's Cathedral at Rome. The President's house is large and magnificently fur nished, and has very much the appearance of Gold smith's hall, in rear of the General Post-office, tLon don. White marble being found in the greatest pro fusion in many parts of the United States, all public and many private buildings are built of that beautiful and splendid material. The district of Columbia is only a place o f importance duri ng th e sess i ons of Con gress ; its population is little short of fifty thousand. The salaries of the leading public officers are as follow : President, per annum ........ $25,000 or £5,000 0 Vice-President 5,000 or 1,000 0 Secretary of State .........

Although at the late meeting of the British Asso ciation in Manchester, there were many very inte resting specimens of mechanism exhibited, there was, nevertheless, one in particular, which threw all others completely into the shade, when considered either as to the novelty of the invention, or its evident practi cal applicability to the every-day concerns of life— and may, with truth, be said to have been " the lieu of the exhibition," viz.; a machine for the Working, or forging of iron, steel, &e. This truly surprising machine .is quite portable, occupying only a space of 3 feet by 4 feet, and cannot be daemed other even by the most critical judges, than one as purely ori ginal in principle, as well as practical in its applica tion, as ulna so perhaps as was the splendid' invention of the fluted roller of Arkwright, by which the art and perfection of drawing the fibrous substances be came known, or that other still more splendid disco very of Watt, the condensing of steam in a separate vessel a. - by which the power of the steam engine of that day may be said to have been doubled. But now for. some explanation of the machine, and its probable general application. It is then, as has before been said, very portable, not requiring more- space than from three to four feet, and may)* worked by istedm of water power,' and when moved by the former, as was the case at the exhibition; made 650 blow s, or impressions per minute; but from their very quick succession ; and the work being effected by an eccen tric pressing down, not striking the hammer or swage, not the least noise was heard. 'here are five or six sets of whkt may be called anvils and swages in the ma chine, each varying in size. The speed and correct ness with'which the machine completes its work, is per ! fectly astonishing, and must be seen in order that its 1 capabilities in this respect may be duly appreci a t e d ; for instance, when it was put into motion for the pur pose of producing what is known as a roller, with a coupling square , upon it (and which had acadtilleplatedr wards turned and fluted), the thing wa in fifty seconds ! of course at one heat, to the ' astonishment of the hystanderaa . But what ap peared as the most extraordinary part of the affair, was,,that the coupling squares was produced direct from the machine, SO mathematic:llly euirect, that no labour can make it more so !! ! The machine willper form the labour of three men and their assistants or strikers, and not only so, but complete its work in a vastly superior manner to that executed by manual labour. For engineers, machine-makers, smiths in general, file-makers, bolt and screw-makers, or for any description of work parallel or tar'', it is most specially adapted ; and for s what is technically known as reducing, it cannot possibly have a successful coin peCtor—in proof of. which it may be stated, that a piece of round iron, I 4 inches in diameter, was re duced to a square of din., 2ft. in. long at one heat. The merit of this invention belongs, it is said, to a gentleman at Bolton, of the name of Ryden—Pro villain/ Pape. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, SEPT. 3.—E. S. Foulkes, scholar of Jesus College, was yesterday adrnitted a probationary fellow of that Society. Jesus College - was lounded by Queen Elizabeth for natives of Walei, at first for eight fel lows, and the same number of scholars • it has since been much increased by different benefactors, among them, Charles the First founded a fellowship for a native of Guernsey or Jersey.

C A MBRIDGE, SEPT. 3.—Thursday week; the 10 - th instant, is appointed for the public dinner to take place iii Lancaster, given by the inhabitants of that town to the Rev. Master of Trinity. Professor Owen, Who is also a native of Lancaster, is, it is said, to he associated in this public manifestation of esteem. The old and beautiful fountain - which stands in the old court of Trinity, and which fin• some years gave no supply, owing to the leaden pipes which conveyed its water from the spring, near the Maddingly-road, having been corroded by time,is about to be restored to its former usefulness. The master's lodge is undergoing a process of thorough repair. The modern timber frames have been already removed from the windows, and their places supplied with stone mullions, to harmonise with the-fine old dining-hall alongside. There is to he a new oriel window of stained glass at the north-west corner.. In addition to these alterations, the lodge is being newly roofed. The examination for the vacant Fellowships takes place very shortly, and the names of the s&ceAsful candidates will be announced on the.lst of October.

BANKRUPT GAMBLERS.—For the edification of these gentlemen, we give the following clause in the New Bankruptcy Act, which comes into operation next No vember :—" No bankrupt shall be entitled to the certi ficate under this Act, and any such certificate, if ob tained, shall be void if such bankrupt shall have lost by any sort of gaming or wagering in one da y twenty pounds, or within one year next preceding his bankruptcy have lost 2001. by any contract for the purchase or sale of any Government or o ther stock, where s uc h contract was not performed within one week after the contract, or where the stock bought or sold was not actually transferred or delivered in pursuance of such contract.' A curious custom prevails among the Solonais, in the department of Orleans, when a young couple marry without the means of commencing housekeeping, as is ordilwrily the case, the contributions of the neighbour hood being always forthcoming to supply the deficiency. The mode of collection is whimsical enough.
