Diffidence, or a nage et right determine the former, and raiscalculate4 hopes eme fitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea Of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eotiprosiwg hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness socitl content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set kleatent. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect waned more sorely than poverty or misfortune.. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in .2 vols., each (by post, in stamps, 1,6 d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, er prudish feeling dater you, by their titles, nor he hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, hut • far the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash pat fortk on the above sublects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price is. each, by I' ost Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid." and How to be Happy." They are not merely pamp , lets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scrlbblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob serr.suca of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he wordi he done ante—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always en the "sunny side of the way."

For inferior and low qualities, how ever, the demand has continued exceedingly langqiekand lower prices have in some instances been accept,eileo effect sales. Oatmeal has moved off steadily, but it„was necessary to submit to reduced rates. The supplies c frOszt Ireland into Liverpool continue to increase, an 4 ivrecthis week to a fair extent. From abroad the imports,are.oiily moderate, probably owing to the pr e v a l ence o f Wdirerse winds; and from our own coast the arrivals are very scanty. At our market this morning a somewhat firmer feeling was exhibited, and wheat was held for fully the currency of this day se'nnight. In the value of choice qualities of flour no change was apparent, but for other kinds rather less money was taken. Oats supported their previous value, whilst , oatmeal again declined fully 6d per load. GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 11. At OUT market to-day, the numbers mere—oxen, 707; sheep, 3,697 ; lambs, 478; milch cows, 45. The supply was larger, and consisted principally of Irish cattle. The attendance of buyers was numerous, but sales were not easily effected—the prices being nearly the same as last week—and at the close of the market a number remained unsold. Best ox beef 50s per cwt, mid quality from 40s to 45,, inferior do. 32s to 38a. Sheep a dull market. Best aged wethers, 54d per lb, mid quality from 4d to 4/d, old ewes from 3d to 3id.

Coat, OCT. 12.—The supplies of home-grown grain continued liberal, the receipts for the week being— wheat, 4,964 barrels, at 16s to 203 6d per barrel; barley, 7,880 barrels, at 7s to Ils 64 per barrel; oats, 13,164 barrels, at 6s 6d to 9s 24 per barrel. The samples of Wheat offering are taken freely at fully the rates of last week. In the prepared article some business has been done at prices varying from 19s to 214 per barrel. Holders however aro firm, and look for higher prices. Barley firmly maintains its value, while Making samples, wh - ch are scarce and anxiously looked for, are dearer. In prepared barley we have no transactions to record. Oats continue to come to hand freely, and are taken readily at a slight improvement on the prices of last week, mealing and feeding samples especially bringing higher prices. But few transactions have taken place in prepared oats, buyers seeking to purchase at late rates, while holders are unwilling to submit to the terms offered. We quote the free on board prices for black oats 8s 6d to 85 9d per barrel; but these quotations, in the present Leuncelot's year, when he rode Calypso for the St. SIR ROBERT PEEL in ABERDEEN. Leger. Shortly afterwards he withdrew himself ! (Abridged from the Aberdeen Herald of Saturday.) altogether from public life, and went to reside at When it was ascertained that Sir Robert Peel was Tickhill, where his remarkable eccentricities in after to pass through Aberdeen the magistrates resolved life acquired for him the title of " Admiral Nelson " that a suitable expression of respect should be made amongst the inhabitants of that locality. to one who stands so high in the estimation of his fellow-countrymen as a man and a statesman ; and the Council having unanimously voted the freedom of the city to the Right Hon. Baronet, it was remitted to an open committee to make the necessary arrange ments for his reception, in such a manner as the credit of the town required. An elegant banquet was accordingly prepared in the Town-hall yesterday, to which a number of the clergy and principal citizens, to the number of 260, were invited. Sir Robert arrived in Aberdeen, from Haddo House, at about a quarter past twelve, along with the Earl of Aberdeen. Shortly after, Lady and Miss Peel ar rived, and proceeded to visit Marischal College, the New Market, and other public buil(' ings, conducted by Mr. Robertson of the Royal Hotel. The Senatus of the University and King's:College, Aberdeen, at their meeting yesterday unanimously conferred the honorary degree of Doctor in Laws on the Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., and appointed a deputation of their number to wait on the Right Honourable Baronet on his arrival at the Royal Hotel. The deputation, consisting of Dr. Tulloch, Professors Thomson, A. Scott, and Ferguson, and H. J. L es li e, E sq., of Powis, one of the assessors to the Lord Rector, were severally intro duced by the Earl of Aberdeen, Chancellor of the University, who intimated to Sir Robert the honour which had been conferred on him. Dr. Tulloch stated that the Senatus had conferred this honour as a mark of the sincere respect entertained by them for his distinguished character as a statesman, and expressed a hope that Almighty God would long spare him to continue to lend his valuable services to his country. Sir Robert, in reply, said that he felt deeply grateful for the high honour which had been conferred upon him by the University and King's College, an-I for the kind wishes with which it had been accompanied. At one o'clock Sir Robert Peel, accompained by Lord Aberdeen and the other illustrious guests of the Magistrates, left the Hotel, and proceeded to the Town-hall, receiving on his way the adulations of a large crowd of spectators. Sir Robert, with the Earl of Aberdeen, and the other illustrious guests, entered the Town-hall a few minutes after one o'clock, and was received with loud cheers. The customary loyal and national toasts having been drunk, The CHAIRMAN called for a very full bumper and said—My Lords and Gentlemen, before partaking of the bumper which I have now requested you to fill, I have a duty to perform which, with your permission, I will endeavour to discharge ; and, in doing so, I will take the liberty of addressing the Right Hon. Baronet on my right—Sir Robert Peel—(Loud ap plause)—in honour of whom we are all assembled on this occasion. —(Renewed applause.) [His Lordship turning te the Right Hon. Baronet, proceeded.] Sir R. Peel, when the Magistrates of this city heard of your intention to pass through Aberdeen on your way southward, there was only one feeling and one opinion on their part and on that of the Town Council, that the opportunity should be embraced of paying some signal mark of respect to one so eminently dis tinguished.—(Loud applause.) At the same time, there was expressed on the part of many of the citi zens a strong desire that, in addition to the presenta tion of the freedom of the city, you should be invited to partake of a public dinner.—(Hear, hear.) I am sure that we all regret that your time and other arrangements have prevented your accepting of this invitation. It is, however, extremely gratifying to the Town Council of Aberdeen, as I am sure it is to this large and respectable assembly, to find that you have honoured us with your presence, for the pur pose of receiving the greatest mark of respect which this community can confer.—(Loud applause.) If it were in the power of the citizens to confer any higher honour, I am sure they would most readily and cheerfully do so.—(Loud applause.) Perhaps it may not; in your estimation, depreciate from this tri bute of regard, to inform you that, in the records of this city are the names of not a few men celebrated for their genius, their piety, and their patriotism, and that the last individual upon whom a similar honour was conferred was his Royal Highness Prince Albert, her Majesty's illustrious Consort. lam desirous, Sir Robert, on this occasion, to convey to you the sense which is entertained of your great public services, and of your high eminence as a statesman.—(Cheers.) Your name has been inseparably interwoven with the history of your country, and during a long period of your public life you have filled many important offices in the state, and more recently the highest civil office to which any subject can aspire. —(Loud applause.) In all these positions you have dis charged your duty in `an admirable manner, with great industry, singular prudence—(Applause) —and consummate ability—(Loud applause)—and you have earned for yourself a reputation which has long since placed you in the first rank of British statesmen. — (Loud applause.) It would he presumptuous on my part to attempt to delineate your career, or even to trace the course of your public services. I have no intention of doing so ; but I may be permitted to refer to your early and successful efforts to restore the currency of this country to a sound and heathful condition—your unwearied and benevolent exertions to ameliorate the civil and criminal code—your pro motion of education—your patronage of the fine arts —and your generous and liberal encouragement of charitable institutions—(Loud applause)--efforts and exertions which have all had a tendency, in no ordi nary manner, to advance the prosperity, and to im prove, elevate, and refine the character and condition of your countrymen.—(Loud applause.) Nor must I omit reference, although in a single sentence, to the great and important measures which marked the period of your last occupancy of office—(Loud and continued cheering)—measures which, I have no hesitation in saying, have placed the trade and commerce of this country on a solid and permanent foundation, and which will be found in every succeeding year more and more to improve the comfort and happiness of the people of this country.—(Cheers.) Whatever diversity of opinion may exist as to the ultimate effect of these measures, there can only be one sentiment as to the purity of your motives in advancing them, and of the profound conviction which animated you in proposing them.—(Loud cheers.) Impartial posterity will be more able to appreciate than your own times and your contemporaries, the great benefit you have conferred upon the nation, and I feel assured that your reputation will grow brighter and brighter, and that your name will descend encircled with renown to distant generations.—(Loud cheers.) lam not here, Sir Robert, to offer insincere adulation, but I may be permitted to express what I conscientiously believe to bo a truth, that a deep feeling pervades the mind of the public, that in whatever circumstances you may be placed, in office or out of office, as a member of the Cabinet or of the Sen a t e , y our lofty powers, your varied attainments, and your great experience, will continue to be devoted to the interests of your countrymen, and to the welfare and happiness of mankind.—(Loud cheering.) gshall not detain you longer, nor this assemhlage, but I shall at once proceed to present to you to the freedom of this ancient burgh. The diploma conferring 'the freedom was imme diately presented to the Right Hon. Baronet, who tied it on the front of his hat by the scarlet ribands attached to it. Placing the hat thus adorned on his head, Sir Robert rose, and was received with raptu rous cheering. The LORD PROVOST then said—You are now a burgess of the ancient city of Aberdeen, and I think that I may congratulate my fellow-citizens that so distinguished a name has been added to our roll of burgesses. lam sure that you will one and all join in a cordial bumper to the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, the youngest burgess of. Aberdeen.--(The toast was received with the greatest enthusiasm.) Sir ROBERT PEEL, on rising, was received with rapturous and continued cheering. He said—My Lord Provost and gentlemen—l wish that I could find any terms in which I might adequately express my grateful acknowledgement, not merely for the municipal distinction which has just been conferred upon me, but for the most kind and cordial reception which has been given to me on my first visit to this ancient city. That visit must necessarily be of short duration, but ii, will leave impressions upon my mind of lasting satisfaction.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I came to Scotland in a purely private capacity, for the purpose of enjoying the pleasures of seclusion and retirement from the busy scenes of public life —of enjoying a happy oblivion, for a time, of all topics which are the objects of political contention, and of avoiding—you must excuse me for saying it— that exciting interest which is inseparable from publio meetings, even of the most friendly character. I came to this particular part of Scotland for the purpose of marking my respect for the honourable Lord of whom I have been the guest—(Loud and continued cheer ing)—whose feelings, as he is present, I will not wound by describing in the only terms in which I could adequately describe them, my warm attach ment to him as a personal friend—(Applause) — my admiration of his conduct in every relation of private lif e —(Renewed applause) —my gratitude for the in- THE OBSERVANCE of the TRUTH. " Audacter calumniare, semper aliquid bieret." In our last number we remarked on the breach of one of the Commandments—that against false witness —through which the zeal for another is displayed in the agitation' against the new arrangement in the Post office. The Bishop of London has since pre sented the very worst example of misrepresentation that has yet appeared. He does not content himself with statements of fact for which there is no ground, but deals besides in aspersions carrying popular odium with them. This prelate's religion should teach him the charity that thinketh no evil ; but see his practice to the contrary, in this sweeping and venomous imputation. " The proposition of the Government seemed to warrant the supposition that little feeling (for the proper observance of the Sabbath) was entertained on the sub ject by those in authority." Yet in the same speech (at Willis's Rooms) he afterwards expressed his belief that if Lord John Russell were cognisant o f th e e ff ects o f t h e propose d change, he w ou ld a t once put his veto on it. In the first passage, th e Bi s h op imputes to the Government et the least indiff erence as to the observance of the Sabbath; in the second, he declares his convic tion that the head of the Government is so far from indifferent as to the observance, that if he were aware of any danger to it from the meditated arrangement he would forbid the alteration. As the Bishop then knew the first imputation to be false, he must consciously have flung out a foul calumny. Now for truth : "No one pretended to believe that this measure, if introduced, would not lead to further changes." This is flagrantly false. The Post-office authori ties, and all who have defended the new arrangement, have maintained that no further change is involved in the one proposed. Bishop Blomfield may believe them insincere; against the rule of Christian charity he believes the worst of all men from whom he differs ; but in that case he would be bound, by his own un charitable notion of the truth, to aver that they pre tended to think what he more falsely asserts no one pretends to think. More truth : " The innovation was, it was true, very slight, but still, the principle being once introduced, they were quite sure that an extension of it would follow." The innovation very slight ! The innovation is none at all. There is no innovation in the case. The practice of Sunday employment in the London Post office has , long existed. So long ago as when Bishop Blomfield‘passed a,Sunday, as he publicly stated, in counting the boats going through Putney-bridge, the sorters and messengers were at work in the Post office. The Bishop talks of the consequences which , must follow " the principle being once introduced';" the principle being already introduced, and having long been established,= of partial occupation in the Post-office on Sunday. When we read such speeches as this, and the worst of the class it certainly is, we feel how wofully wanted is a stricter observance of the truth. With a strict observance of the truth, the plea against the arrange ment in the Post-offioe, as involving desecration of the Sabbath, would fall to the ground ; and in place ' of it would appear the fact that the . change will operate the other way, to diminish most considerably the amount of Sunday occupation in the Post-office service throughout the country. But pharisaical zeal is ever prone to fiction, making mountains of mole hills, to swell the odium of whatever it rages against, and to enlist the levy en masse of the antipathies upon false pretences. At the meeting. at Willis's Rooms, Mr. Garrett honestly stated, in bar, to a condemnatory resolu tion— • "He bad that day seen Mr. Hill, and had questioned him on the. subject, stating that he would use his answers at the meeting that day. Mr. Hill had stated that there were on Sundays posts callefl cross-road posts, which not being able to go to London on Sundays, took circuitous' routes before arriving at their destination, and by taking these routes kept a great many clerks employed at the different stations. The abolition of these posts would also do away with the second Sunday delivery in the country, and as to the employment of these clerks on Sundays, it was always necessary that some should be employed; Ho had at first entertained apprehensions that this innovation was a downward step. but after Mr. Hill's statement, he was led to hope that it was going up a step. Mr. Hill had stated that he was anxious to avoid the desecration of the Sabbath, and that, in fact, he had relieved many from the pressure of the old system by re moving the necessity of the reception of Post-office orders on Sundays." This explanation had not, however, the slightest effect on the meeting. The truths of the question have nothing to do with the judgment on it.— Examiner. THI PoST•OPPICH.—The new arrangements pro posed for the Post-office have been deferred for a fort night—that is, from to-day (the 14Lh) to the 28th inst. This was no more than was due to the numbers sod re spectability of the remonstrants against the proposed change; although there is no doubt whatever that never was there such a storm raised about so trifling a matter, and never certainly was there so much apprehension Lbroad upon any given subject. We took cccasion, at the very commencement of these proceedings, to say that there was no intention whatever to propose either a Sunday delivery in London or a Sunday dispatch of letters from London. It was merely to send on some pressing letters, known as " forward letters," which coming from one part of England to another, and mostly arriving,.frora abroad, ,would oth e r w ise remain in the London Post-office from periods varrying from twenty , four to thirty-six hours. This was the "be all and the end all, of the change which has caused such excitement through all the realm of interested prejudice against a plan, which we verily believe to have bees most usefully devised for the public service, and which has been de nounced without being at all understood. As far as re lates to the keeping of the Sabbath, we believe that the leading features of the plan, whilst it only demanded the voluntary attendance of twenty-five clerks, to be remu nerated within doors at the London Post-office, relieved no less than 1,500 from public duties at the country offices, during a greater part of the Sundays, where they are now employed. This is the " head and front of the offending." It is all very well to talk of the fine end of the wedge, and of ulterior intentions, and such other uncharitable accusations, in which none are BD apt to indulge as those who lay claim (for themselves) to the greatest amount of Chris tian virtues. " All looks yellow to the jaundiced eye;" but to us the whole thing seems, when properly under stood, to be scarce worth contending for. Mr. Rowland Hill was placed in the General Post-office to carry out those improvements which to so great an extent he had sa auspiciously begun. In the course of his experience and the progress of his investigation he rinds a state of this gs producing the greatest amount of inconvenience, for which he suggests a simple and what to us appears a most inoffensive remedy. Had the Government not exhibited a willingness to hear, and if approved of to adopt, the suggestions which his acquaintance with the whole subject had led him to recommend, they would unquestionably have laid themselves open to the charge of obstructing a rational and well-considered reform. We are not disposed to overrate the advantages of the change proposed by Mr. Rowland Hill; indeed we be lieve that, for good or for evil, it has been overrated more than any question with which the opinions or the prejudices of the public have had to deal. Whatever may come of it, it has seldom fallen to our lot to encoun ter so large an amount of misrepresentation as is over thrown by the authorised statement of the mil facts of the case.—Observer. WHOLESALE MURDERS OF INFANTS.—HANDS WORTH, Sa:runDa.Y.—For the last four or five years this town and neighbourhood has obtained unenviable noto riety for the number of newly-born children bearing marks of their having been deprived of life by violent means soon after being brought into the world, that have boen found in the by-lanes and other remote places. To such an extent has the atrocious system been prac tised, that.the local magistrates have laid the whole facts before the Secretary of State, and her Majesty's Govern ment have offered such a reward as will be likely to suppress the revolting acts. During the past week a farmer's labourer, named Ellis,.was proceeding along Cramp-41 1e , near the Birmingham-road, when he observed a brown paper parcel in a holly bush in the hedgerow. On opening it the contents were discovered t) be the bodies of two newly-born children. The Coroner of the district, Mr. Hinchcliffe, held an inquiry upon them, and Mr. Hammond, a surgeon, who had carefully examined them, expressed an opinion that they were born alive, and that strangulation was evi dently the m o d e b y which they had come by their deaths. Other facts showed that the innocents bad been mur dere.' as soon as iLey were born, and the Coroner's jury bound as their verdict—" Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." The Coroner, however, eith a view of doing all he could in the matter, waited upon tho Hon. F. Gough and Mr. Plercy, county magistrates, and it was at length determined to seek the aid of the Secretary State. The result has been that S;r G. Gray has authorised a reward of 50/. being offered for the capture of the perpetrators of this atro cious crime, and a free pardon to any one giving infor mation, provided they be not the actual offenders. Mr. John Mackenzie, son of the late G. F. Mackenzie, Esq., of Allangrange, was mortally wounded on Tuesday, by the accidental explosion of a gun which he was loading, and died on Wednesday. The melan choly event has caused general and profound regret.-- Aberdeen Herald. 4 11 valuable aid which I received from him as a minister of this country—(Loud cheers)—in carrying on the public service. I say, gentlemen, I came to Scotland in a purely private capacity, and determined to main tain that character, but your kindness has compelled me so far to depart from my resolution, as to be pre sent on this occasion, in order that I may receive, in the most respectful manner in which I could receive it, the freedom of the city of Aberdeen.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I was well aware before the Lord Pro vost referred to the fact, that that freedom had been conferred upon men of the highest eminence in literature and in the walks of public life. I was aware that it is a high honour to have one's name associated with them. I believe it was observed by one—almost the most eminent of the distinguished men who have received this same distinction —I think, if I recollect aright, it was observed by Samuel Johnson, in speaking of the freedom of Aberdeen, that the honour had been con ferred on him " with all the decorations which politeness could add."—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, in witnessing the kind feeling which has been manifested towards me, not only within these walls, but, allow me to say, without these walls—(Cheers)—and which I will, with your permission, now acknowledge in grateful terms—l say, after witnessing that feel ing, I can now say with truth, that this distinction has been conferred upon me not only " with all the decorations which politeness could add," but that it has received that stamp of substantial and intrinsic value which it could only receive as a token of your cordial goodwill towards one who is personally a stran ger to you.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, 1 shall not abuse your generosity in giving me this cordial reception. The freedom of the city of Aberdeen has been voted to me by the unanimous voice of the magistrates and Council of the burgh, and I can readily believe that some who have joined in that unanimous vote have been prepared to pay a compliment to one who has held high offices under the Crown, and has for many years taken an active partin Parliamentary life, and yet who m a y diff er i n opinion—(Hear, hear)—as to the policy of the great measures which it has been my duty to recommend. I will not presume that their approbation of the motives by which I have been ac tuated necessarily implies concurrence in approbation of these particular measures; it is sufficient for me that you have given a decisive proof, by this act, that you do believe that, in ad v i s i ng th e Crown at critical periods, and in recommending to Parliament certain measures, I had no other object in view than to avert public danger and promote the public welfare.— (Great cheering.) I will not incur the risk of dis- Curbing the unanimity and harmony of this meeting by introducing any topic which has been the object of fierce contention. You shall hear nothing from me that can provoke dissent with regard to particular measures. lam too much overpowered by feelings of gratitude for the kind construction which you have put on the motives of a public man—(Applause) —in publicly showing that you disbelieve and disregard the calumnies by which—(Tremendous cheering, amid which the remainder of the sentiment was lost.) I feel too grateful to you for these marks of public esteem and confidence, at least in the integrity of the motives by which I have been guided, to offend any one of you by introducing matters upon which there might be a difference of opinion—(Hear)—and al though you have compelled me to depart from this resolution which I had formed to take no part in any public meeting, you will allow me to adhere to my resolution to avoid any reference to topics of a con troversial nature. Gentlemen, there is one point on which I might dilate with the certainty of uninter rupted harmony and perfect concord. The Lord Provost has referred to the fact that I am the youngest of the burgesses of Aberdeen ; but, al though I am the youngest burgess, I yield to none—not to the oldest inhabitant—not to him who has the warmest personal interest in the prosperity of this ancient city—l yield to none in the earnest desire that Aberdeen may long pre serve the illustrious name which it has borne in the annals of this country.—(Cheers). I yield to none in the earnest wish that she may maintain her double title to respect, as the seat of academic learning and the seat of commercial enterprise—in the earnest wish that the Universities of this city may long continue to dispense to the generous youth of Scotland the in estimable benefits of sound learning and pure religious doctrine—(Cheers)--that this great city, in its com mercial capacity—by its enterprise—by its ingenuity —.by its industry and by its skill—may, through the free and unrestricted intercourse in the products with which Nature has blessed the county—(Cheers) —contribute at the same time to the prosperity of her own citizens, and to the enjoyment and comfort of other parts of the world with which she carries on her commercial intercourse. Gentlemen, I will, with your permission, embody this sentiment in that brief expression which is best suited to a convivial meeting, by calling upon you to join with me in drinking, with the utmost sincerity and enthusiasm, "Prosperity to the City of Aberdeen."—(Cheers.) The healths of the Earl of Aberdeen, the Lord Provost, and Lord Claude Hamilton, having been drunk, Sir ROBERT PEEL again rose, and was again re ceived with vociferous cheering. He said—Gentle men, as the period is fast approaching when I must sincerely bid you farewell, I cannot reconcile it to my feelings to do so, without again expressing to you what cordial satisfaction I have derived from the meeting of this day—(Loud applause)—how deeply I regret that I have made arrangements which compel my immediate departure—how firm is my resolution, whenever I return to Scotland, to make compensa tion—(Loud cheering)—for this very brief visit, so unworthy of the interest which I feel in this city, in its antiquities, and in its name—and how firm his my resolution never again to come to Scotland without repairing to the city of Aberdeen, and exercising the privileges of a citizen. —(Loud and continued cheering.) lam afraid that, in thus addressing you, I am breaking through the ordinary rules—(No, no, and applause)—but I wish to return my grateful ackowledgments to those of the citizens who are not present, and who signified a wish that they might do me the honour of receiving me as a guest at a public dinner. Gentlemen, lam deeply grateful for the intention which they thus manifested. I shall have no opportunity of meeting with many who joined in an expression of that wish, but I shall trust to your kindness to do me the favour of informing them of my gratitude for their intention.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I must also express my acknowledgments to the Lord Provost, for the great kindness which I have experienced from him. lam afraid he spoke of my public services in much too flattering terms. —(No, no, and cheers) But if I have gained the esteem of so truly respectable a man, I will for give the exaggeration.—(Cheers.) I now feel myself bound to you all by the ties of common citizenship, and I shall feel with you a warm interest in all that concerns the welfare of Aberdeen. I came here and met you as a stranger, but I shall depart and re member you as friends.—(Loud cheers.) The LORD PROVOST said—lt is always extremely painful to terminate so pleasing and so comfortable a meeting as the present. I have never seen any as sembly within this hall at which it was not ex tremely disagreeable to pronounce the parting word " Bon-Acord." And if I have always felt so be fore, I am sure that on this occasion I feel it most deeply—(Hear, hear.) But I trust that on another occasion we may have the pleasure and happiness of meeting again, when we may enjoy a longer period of the Right Honourable Baronet's time. I beg leave, with your permission—though I know it is disagree able—to say good bye; but, as Sir Robert Peel must be in Edinburgh early to-morrow morning, it has been announced to me that the proceedings must necessarily be abridged. I therefore give the parting word—" Bon-Accord." The company then broke up, and Sir Robert returned to the Royal Hotel, wearing his burgess diploma► round his hat, and taking the arm of the Earl of Aberdeen. On making his appearance on the street, Sir Robert was loudly cheered. Sir Robert, with his lady and daughter, left Aberdeen immediately, for Brechin, where they were to dine with Lord Pan mure, and pass the night, leaving early this morning for Edinburgh.

VERY UNSEASONA➢LE DRESS IN TILE NATT.-011 Friday last, when the Court removed from Osborne to London, the Superb and Encounter, at Spithead, and the ships in harbour, excepting the Victory, manned yards, and although the weather was excessively cold, and a keen N.E. wind blowing, the men were dressed in white trowsers. This is according to Admiralty orders ; but with due deference we are of opinion that in ti.e matter of dress the arrangement should be left to the discretion of the Commander-in-Chief or officer, commanding. White trousers on such a day were a punishment to the men, and in many cases (where flannel drawers were not in their possession) very injurious to health. The Victory, on account of being short-handed, did not man yards ; but her crew manned the rigging in white trousers, and cheered as enthus . aitically as ever. Lieutenant Jame§ Sabben (1810) died on Wednes day last, aged 62. This officer (who had been in the merchant service, and had witnessed the destruc- tion of the Queen Charlotte, 100, in Leghorn Rolds, March 17, 1800), entered the navy March 16, 103, as first-class volunteer, on board the Dreadnought, 98. Shortly after he had joined he was se verely injured by a blow from a storm-staysail sheet. In August, 1805, he was present off Cadiz when the Dreadnought, with two other ships of the line, was pursued by the com bined squadrons of France and Spain, on their return from the West Indies, whence they had been driven by Lord Nelson, and was signal midshipman, and was wounded at the battle of Trafalgar. On Dec. 17, 1806, being at the time a supernumerary in the Netley schooner, he was taken captive by the French frigate Thetis and brig Sylphe, and carried into Guadaloupe. He was soon, however, restored to liberty, and on again joining the Wolverine was awarded the rating of master's mate. When subse quently in pursuit of an enemy he was a second time accidentally hurt. Was received by Sir Alexander Cochrane, on promotion, on board his flag-ship the Neptune, 98, part of the force engaged in February, 1809, at the reduction of Martinique. Was acting lieutenant of the Julia, 16, when she put to sea, at a moment's notice, in pursuit of a large French letter-of marque brig, whom she succeeded in capturing. When in the same sloop, at the blockade of Guada loupe, Mr. Sabben was almost daily in action, either in cutting out vessels, in storming batteries, or in intercepting the coasting trade. He also partici pated in three attempts to capture or destroy the French frigates Furieuse and Fdlicite in the road stead of Basseterre. As acting first lieutenant, afterwards, of the Ringdove, he passed through scenes of great mortality—was wounded Dec. 18, 1809, at the destruction, in L'Ance la Barque, of the 40 gun frigates Loire and Seine, laden with stores and protected by numerous batteries—and contributed to the reduction of the island of Guadaloupe, where, during the absence of his captain on shore, he held command of the ship. Lieut. Sabben was possessed of a scientific turn of mind. LIEUT. GRAUAM AND Ma. ELLIOTT.—We can, from undoubted authority, contradict the statement which has been going the round of the papers respecting the suppoasd mistake in passing sentence on Lieut. Graham and Mr. Elliott, master in the Royal navy. The imprisonment was distinctly placed in the wording of the sentence, prior to the dismissal from her Majesty's service.—Exeter Gazette. The Prince Regent, 92. Captain W. F. Martin, was left with the flag-ship at Corfu on the 26th ult.

Their Lordships pro ceeded to inspect the Terrible, and remained upwards of half an hour on board that vessel. The taking out of the two boilers in the fore part of the vessel will be completed this afternoon, and when their funnels are also taken out, the darerence will be about 64 tons in favour of the accommodation in this fine frigate. The vessel having beep found so efficient when working with only two boilers, it is intended to get her ready again as soon as possible. The two aft funnels and boilers left in her having been but seldom used, they are nearly as good 83 new, and will not occupy much time in getting ready for service. From the Terrible their Lordships proceeded to the Royal Albert, NO, and went on board that ves.el with Mr. Lang, master shipwright, when they ex pressed themselves much pleased with her excellent and substantial appearance. After inspecting the Royal Albert their Lordships,' with Captain Sir Bald win Walker and Commodore Henry Eden went on board the Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain T. 0.

THE ARAB, ON HIS OWN GROUND —A proposition of a chivalric order, in the true sense of the word, has been alluded to in these columns, as having proceeded from the Pacha of Egypt to the owners of English racehorses. Should the affair come to fruition, it will excite interest far beyond the circle of those immediately connected with the turf af fairs, strictly so called. Mr. C. C. Greville, who has been chosen as the me dium for this friendly and spirited cartel, has addressed the following letter to the public prints : " Sir,—A challenge has been sent through me on the part of the Pacha of Egypt to the English turf, which I first communicated to the Jockey Club, and now wish to notify to the public through the medium of your paper. It was my,inteution to have sent you the letter of our Consul-Cieneral, in which this challenge is conveyed, but I have unfortunately mislaid it, and after the most dili gent search have been unable to find it. I remember, however, the contents of it with sufficient accuracy to answer every purpose. Mr. Murray states that his Highness the Pacha is convinced that his Arab horses are superior to our English race•horses over a length of ground, and he proposes to test their relative merits by a match to be run in Egypt; the distance to be ten milts; the stake 10,000/., which he thinks, if desired, might he iocrimsed to 15,0001.; .no limitation as to ago or weight. The ground over which the match would be run is sand, with a good many stones in it. He concludes by saying that if there is a disposition here to make the match, he will proceed to adjust the preliminaries. Upon the re ceipt of this bitter, I wrote him word that I would make this cliallebge public, and that I thought it very probable it would be accepted, and I then put to him a variety of questions as to certain points on which I deemed it essential that information should be supplied. Thus the matter stands at present. As soon as I hear again from Cairo I will trouble you with . a further com munication. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " C. C. GuEvn.ix. " Bruton street, Oct, 12, 1849;" The vast superiority of the English thoroughbred horses over Arabs of the purest blood, has been estab lished by innumerable trials in India, and that the Cos sack horses have as little chance with them will be gathered from the following account of a match in Russia, from the Stud. book:—" Sharper (bred by Lord Egremont, and•got by Octavius out of Young Amazon, by Gohanna) was sent in 1825 to Russia, where ho and Minna (bred by Mr. Newton, and got by Woful out of Diana, by Stamford) were matched to run 75 versts (494 English Mires) on the public road, against two Cossack horses: , Minna falling lame, was pulled up early in the race which Sharper won with ease, not withstanding the loss of a stirrup, and the consequent inability of his rider to restrain him for several miles. The Cossack horses had nearly 3st. advantage in weight, and one of them fell at the end of 25 miles and died. This race was run in 1825, near St. Petersburgb." DEATH of GEORGE NELSON,the JOCKEY. (From the Doncaster Chronicle.) We have this s• k to record the sudden and unexpected demise of George Nelson, the celebrated north -country jockey, who expired at the Turf Tavern, in this town, on Wednesday night last, after an illness of only a few hours' duration. Deceased was .out. in the town on the afternoon of his death, and was apparently in the enjoyment of his accus tomed health. The last place which be visited was the bank of Sir W. B. Cooke and Co., where he was suddenly seized with an apoplectic fit, and, dropped upon the floor. Medical assistance. was immediately rendered, but the deceased never afterwards rallied, and expired about eleven o'clock the same evening. The deceased was born at Masham, near Middleham, Yorkshire, on the 15th October, 1793, When the time approached for him to be put apprentice to some business, his godfather interposed, and Procured him a situation under Mr. Samuel King, now of this town, who was at. that time the celebrated training groom to Sir T. Gascoigne, Bart. Nelson was placed l under the charge of Mr. King in Januaiy, 1807, and though at that time upwards of 13 years of age his weight scarcely exceeded four stone. He soon became an especially favourite with the worthy baronet, and kept him at exercise on the young horses. The young jockey in 1809 made hisdebut on Rover, at York, where he rode sst. 41b., and cleverly beat Cardinal York, Paul, and Teazle Evitch, in four mile heats. In 1810 he made several starts in Cheshire and Lancashire, bis weight :at that time scarcely exceeding four stones. Sir Thomas Gascoigne dying in 1810, Mr. King was appointed head trainer to Lord Scarborough, and Nelson obtained a fair share of public employment. His star was now in the ascendant, and in 1816 he became the established jockey of Lord Scarborough, and had the best mounts in the stable, with the ex ception of old Catton, during the latter part of whose performances that celebrated animal was ridden by Mr. King himself. The deceased had by this time established his rept], tation as a rider, and continued to achieve consider. able fame in the sporting world. On Lottery and Fleur-de-Lis he was never .beaten, and during the racing season of 1824 he landed in Minna .a winner no less than eight times. Two years aftewards he won the Doncaster St. Leger on Tarrare, and the skill and judgment which he displayed in the race throughout were highly commended by the sporting men of that day D . uring the time that Nelson was in the service of Lord Scarborough, he occasionally rode for his late Majesty King George IV., when young John, the son of Mr. Samuel King, used to supply his place in his Lordship's stud. Hi s M a j es ty conceived a great liking for Nelson, and he at one time remarked that they had had "a clever jockey on sea, and now he had a clever jockey on land." On the death of George IV., King William being imbued with the racing propensities of his predeces sor, kept on a stud of horses, and retained Nelson in his service up to the time of his death, when a com fortable annuity was settled by Government upon the fortunate jockey. Nelson afterwards entered the service of Lord. Glasgow, but from the time of his receiving the but little regard to pension he paid racing matters.
