DIALOGUE at DONCASTER Two gentlemen, whose names I need, not mention, One day last week. Began to speak Of something which enlisted my attention. " Pray (said the first one), had you much at stake, And have you anything worth while to take ?" " Not much (replied tho second), When every thing is reckoned : A half-a-dozen sovereigns, I suppose, Barely eno , ,gh to buy a suit c f clothes." • "Barely enough for what ?" exclaimed his friend, " You're out of reckoning there, I must contend. A suit will never cost you that. Wherever do you rurchase at? MOSES and SON Would sell you ono For infinitely less.; A suit that you'll pronounce to be, In point of style and quality, A most superior dress. Nay I would really lay a bet with you, That such a sum would almost buy you two Six pounds, indeed, what ne ct? The very mention makes me feel quite vest.

T T O he powerful Influence of the sun on the skin at this period of the year calls for increased attention in preserving its delicacy and beauty. The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable object is R 0 W L AND 5' IC AL TDOR, so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation. Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and Induces that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan, Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa rency of complexion.

ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—Last night a numerous assembla?e took place at the Town Hall, for the pur pose of hearing a lecture by the Rev. Professor Willis, upon the applicability of mechanical science to railways. The lecture was purely scientific, and elucidated by experiments. At the close of the meet ing, on the motion of Lord Wrothesley, the thanks of the company were carried by acclamation to the reverend lecturer. This morning the section-rooms were opened at eleven o'clock, when a great number of papers were announced for reading, and in the course of the day, Mr. PORTER, in reference to his subject, " State ment of prices and wages in each year from 1842 to 1849," said it was felt to be an inquiry of the deepest interest to all to know whether the legislative measure had been productive of any, and what, result to the great bulk of the community. To begin, then, with what was called the staff of life, and the price of which was a thing of the very first importance to all who depend upon daily and weekly wages. The four-pound loaf of bread sold in the bakors' shops in London had been, in the month of July of each year, from 1842 to 1849-1842, 9. d. ; 1843, 70.; 1844, B}d.: 1845, 70.; 1846, 811.; 1847, 110.; 184$, ; 1849, 7d. Now, when it was considered that from one-half to three fourths of the expenditure of the most numerous class of the people was for that one article, it could not be held of light importance that a saving of twenty-five per cent. =a made in its cost. Such a saving to the family of a working man consisting of himself, his wife, and four children, could hardly be less than 2s. per week, which was too often a very considerable proportion of - the man's earnings, so that it would greatly depend upon that bead of ex penditure whether or not he and his family were able to provide themselves with decent clothing, and with other matters, which, although perhaps not absolutely. necessary to the support of life were yet most im portant towards the comfort and contentment of the family. The price of meat was unfortunately not a matter of such universal interest as the cost of bread, and it was to be feared, that even in ordinarily pros perous times there were very many of our fellow subjects who were forced to forego its use. The prices, as quoted in the accounts of markets cannot be taken as the prices actually paid for retail pur chases by the working man, but they would govern the retail prices, and were as follows :—For prime beef and South-down mutton at Smithfield in the month of June in each year, 1842 to 1849.—Beef, in 1842, 4s. Bd. ; 1843, 3s. 101 d. ; 1844, 3s. 80. ; 18-15, 4s. 4d.; 1846, 3s. ; 1847, ss. 61; 1848, 3s. 101 ; 1849, 3s, sd. Mutton, during the same period, was from 4s. 3d. to 4s. 2d. Mr. Porter then glided the price of all other articles of food used by the working men and their families and the cost of their clothing, and proceeded to say, In the course of inquiries made among London tradesmen, it was stated, that, as respected cheese, the working classes seldom or never bought it by %eeight, but applied at the shop for sixpennyworth, or whatever sum there was to be laid out, the dearness or cheapness of the article affecting the quantity that they receive for their money. Another fact was ascertained from the proprietor of a large establish ment for the sale of linen, woollen haberdashery, &c. The working man or woman was accustomed to pay certain prices for certain articles, and does not vary the outlay with the varying markets, but purchase a 3s. or ss. hat or bonnet for so much. The benefit of cheapness reached them in the quality of their pur chases ; and, as the tendency had, for many years, been towards lessened prices, they now saw, at least, such was the case in London, that the working classes were better clad than formerly. He had also learned from a person who gave employment to 1,200 people, men and women, in making up clothes, that, taking one article with another, the materials and their cost were not more than one-half what they had cost at the close of the war in 1815 ; and since 1834 there had been a further reduction in the cost of all such articles. It was impossible to over-estimate the importance of the subject to which he had called their attention. So long as in any country the whole earnings of the labouring classes were required to procure for them the bare necessaries of life, they must look in vain for any advancement in the social and moral condition of the people. On the other hand, if their earnings were habitually found sufficient not merely to sustain life, but to provide for themselves and their families its decencies and some of its comforts, they would not willingly fall back in the scale of society, but rather would strive to go forward. Their intelligence being cultivated, their labour would be rendered more pro ductive, and of necessity would be better remune rated, thus enabling them to make further progress in the social scale, and to provide the means of still greater advancement for those who may succeed them. Mr. Porter then read over a great number of tables, setting forth the rate of wages paid weekly to the factory hands in full employment in Manchester during the years of depression, from 1844 to 1849, and from which it appeared that in one of the best mills in the card-rooms males were paid in 1844, I.Bs. 60. per week. In 1849, 12s. In one of the ironworks of South Wales the colliers were paid, in 1844, 135.; in 1849, 14s. 3d.; miners in 1844, 10s. 7d ; in 1849, I Os. 9d.; labourers in 1844, 11 s. ; the same in 1849 ; founders in 1844, 235. 9d.; in 1849, 30s. 4d.; felters in 1844, 225.; in 1849, 305. 4d.; refiners in 1844, 375. Bd.; in 1849, 393.6 d. In Staffordshire wages are higher. Pudlers in 1844 earned 6s. per day; in 1846 and 1847, Bs. per day; and in 1849, ss. 6d. Several gentlemen, including Mr. Joseph Sturge, Mr. Saunders, &c., spoke of the necessity of increas ing the wages of the working men as the only means of really improving their condition. Mr. DANSON read a paper on the progress of emi gration from the United Kingdom during the last thirty years, in relation to the growth of the popula tion during the same period. The first complete census of the three kingdoms (in 1821) gave as the total population 21,193,000. In 1831 the number re turned was 24,306;000, showing an increase of 3,113,000 in ten years. During the ten years, 1821 —3l, the total number of emigrants from the United Kingdom was only 291,070. In the ten years, 1831 —4l, the number was 738,582. And in the seven years, 1842-48 inclusive, the number was no less than 985,953. And, according to the latest complete returns obtained by the Emigration Commissioners (down to the 30th of June last), the number of emi grants in the first half of 1849 was no less than 196,973. Hence it appeared that the emigration from the United Kingdom, during the last three years, was fully equal to, if it did not exceed, the natural increase of the population ; and, in short, that emigration has now been carried to such an extent as, if it were maintained, must effectually prevent the further growth of the population. The paper excited much interest, and was illustrated by a diagram, which exhibited in a striking manner its general effect. In the course of the day interesting experiments were made at the Canal Company's reservoir by Mr. Carter, with his celebrated sea•service rocket appa ratus. There was a considerable number of spec tators present, and the results were most satisfactory. BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 19.—The concluding general meeting of the members of the association was held in the Town-hall this afternoon. At a meeting of the comm ittee, held in King Edward's School in the morning, Lord Dunfermline was elected a Vice- President. In the organ gallery of the Town-hall this afternoon were Professor Robinson (the Presi dent), Prince Canino, ord Wrottesley, Sir R. J. Murchison, the Dean of Westminster, the Marquis of Northampton, and othe r distinguished members of the association. Colonel SABINE, the general secretary , proceeded to read a long list of recommendations by the general committee, which were duly adopted. Professor PHILLIPS, the assistant-secretary, next read a short report, from which it appeared that du ring the present meeting of the association there had been present old life members, 277; old annual, 94; new life members, 11 ; new annual, 32 ; associates, 439 ; ladies, 237 ; and foreigners who had arrived by railway, 32—total, 1,122 persons, from whom had been received 951/. ss. 9d. These numbers had only been exceeded twice at any meeting of the association which had been held since they assembled in Bir mingham ten years ago. The PRESIDENT, in an eloquent address, expressed the thanks of the association to the Mayor and various local authorities of Birmingham. The meeting had been eminently successful. Sir R. J. MURCHISON moved a vote of thanks to the President, which was seconded by the Mayor of Birmingham and carried unanimously. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Lord Wrottesley, Dr. Buckland (the Dean of Westminsier), and, finally, the meeting of the association for 1849 dissolved between five and six o'clock.

On Tuesday - morning the court was opened at ten o'clock, when the revision of the Livery lists was pro ceeded with. The only case which presented any feature of interest was the following. In the list of the Skinners' Company the name of a voter was entered as " Michael Turnell, 13, Argyll-street, New. road," and the beadle of the company informed the Court that there was a clerical error in this descrip tion. There was no such person as Michael Turnell attached to the company. The name of the party intended to be described was Michael Turner, as stated in the printed lists of the company. Mr. Browne objected to the vote of Michael Tur ner, on the ground that he lived at St. Leon trd's, and not within seven miles of the city of London. Mr. M'CunisTlE said the only list which the Act of Parliament empowered him to recognise was the written document signed by the clerk of the com pany, and he was not justified in altering the name from " Turnell" (as it appeared in the list before him) to "Turner," (as described in the printed list). Mr. Browne's objection, therefore, to the vote of Michael Turner was untenable, as there was no such name on the list which had been submitted to the Court. Mr. Browne said he had objected to Michael Turner—the name which appeared in the list printed by authority of the Act of Parliament. He therefore begged the Court, under the sanction of the interpre tation clause, not to evade the operation of the Act by retaining a name which ought not to have been placed on the list. Mr. S. Smith contended that the objection was to Michael Turner, and as there was no su ch p erson on the list before the Court, the objection could not be maintained. The only list by which the .barrister could be guided was that signed by the clerk, and furnished by the secondary, according to the Act of Parliament. Mr. Browne replied that the effect of this argu ment was to put him out of court, not because his objection was invalid, but because the list furnished to the court was incorrect. He (Mr. Browne) had taken the name as it appeared in the printed list, and the beadle of the company had stated that the list before the Court contained a clerical error with regard to this name. On these grounds he submitted that his objection was one which ought to be allowed. Mr. Smith said that Mr. Browne ought to rest satisfied, inasmuch as he had objected to " Michael Turner," and that name would not appear on the list.—(A. laugh.) Mr. M'CnaisTin said that as the name appeared as Michael Turnell in the only list he could recognise he was bound to retain that name. The objection therefore fell to the ground. The revision of the Livery lists having been con cluded, the Court proceeded with the Ward lists. ALDERSGATE WARD. Donald M'Gregor claimed a right to vote by reason of the occupation of premises No. 42, Noble.street, in the parish of St. Anne and St. Agnes. The clerk of the parish had stated that the number ought to have been 43. He knew the claimant resided there, and had paid his rates iii respect of that house. Mr. Browne said he had objected to the claim of Donald M‘Gregor on the ground that no such person resided at No. 42. He now contended that the court ought not to admit the claim in the absence of the claimant, and in the absence of evidence to show that he resided at No. 43. There was no legal proof before the Court as to Mr- M`Gregor's qualification, and he protested against the admission of claims in such a loose manner. Mr. Smith submitted that upon the evidence of the clerk the claim ought to be allowed. Mr. M'Cnatsrin said this was simply a case of claim, and he could not hear the objection until afterwards. The name was in the printed list for No. 42, and the voter finding that to be a mistake had given notice that he wished to have it corrected, ac. cording to the Act of Parliament. It appeared that the party had resided at No. 43 for some time, and had paid all his rates and taxes for that house. The witness had proved everything that was necessary to establish the claim, and it must therefore be allowed in respect of " No. 43." The following is the result of the revision of the Livery lists : Liberal objections sustained ..... Conservative.. .... e• 47 Double objections sustained .. 17 Liberal objections failed or withdrawn 23 Conservative Expunged by Barrister .. 18 The revision of the lists of voters in the several parishes of the city of London was continued yester day by Mr. T. Y. IVl`Christie, the barrister appointed for that purpose, in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall. Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. Ledger re presented the Libe.-al interest, and Mr. Samuel Brown appeared on the part of the Conservatives. QUALTFICATION OF TENANTS. Mr. John Getting, the occupier of a counting-house at 46, Lime-street, in the ward of Aldgate and Bil lingsgate, appeared in support of his claim to be placed upon the register, against an objection taken by the Liberals, upon the ground that he was in the position of a lodger, not having such a full command of the premises as is required by the 27th section of the Act William IV., c. 45, which describes the qua lification for tenants. It appeared from Mr. Getting's testimony, that the counting-house, in. respect of which the vote was claimed, formed part of a block of buildings, consist ing of two wings, with a gateway common to all the tenants. Mrs. Dunmore, the landlady, lived upon the premises, and also cleaned them, thus acting in the double relation of owner and servant ; and at night she closed the gateway, and kept the key, after which no one could. gain admittance except by:ringing a bell. Mr. Getting, however, had a separate bell, and it appeared that the entrance to his counting house, although from the street it was through the gateway, was altogether distiuct and independent from those of the other tenants. The BARRISTER said that, under these circum stances, there was 310 ground for the objection, and he awarded 20s. cost against the objectors. Mr. Ledger rather warmly remonstrated against this decision as far as regarded the costs, urging that in 1847 the court had taken a contrary view. He trusted, at all events, that it would be suspended until the question had been argued, as the objection had been taken with that view, and there were several other cases in which the same point arose. The BARRISTER intimated his willingness to take his course. A number of minor cases having been disposed of, Mr. Walter Logan, also the occupier of a counting house at No. 46, Lime-street, was objected to by Mr. Brown, on the ground of want of qualification, under the 27th section. In support of the claim, Mr. Smith called William Adkins, who was examined as to the construction of the premises; and who stated that those occupied by Mr. Logan had a separate entrance, of which he had the sole and exclusive control. Mr. Brown submitted that this case came under the rule laid down by the Common Pleas in "Fitch v. Smedley," reported in Mr. Lutwyche's Registration Cases. It was there held that where a person occu pied part of a building, which was at the same time in the possession of the landlord, as this was—for the landlady had free ingress and egress—he was merely a lodger. Mr. Smith, on the other side, contended that the objection was untenable. Mr. Logan could maintain an action of trespass against Mrs. Dunmore if sbe entered his counting-house without his permission. He relied upon the decision of the Common Pleas in the case of "Jones v.',Luckett," reported in:Lutwyche's Registration Cases, vol. ii., part 1, page 26, a case exactly similar to the present. Mr. Brown, in reply, dwelt upon the importance of the right of way in this case. After the tenants left at tight, they had no right of way. They could only be admitted by leave of the landlady. The BARRISTER—You make the right of way a main point in the objection ? Mr. Brown replied in the affirmative. Mr. Smith observed that the Common Pleas, in " Jones v. Lockett," attached no importance to the point. After an argument of considerable length, The BARRISTER said the question was one of much importance, and as there was some novelty in the cir cumstances, he would take time for consideration, and deliver his decision on Monday. The other cases heard during the day were desti tute of public interest, and the Court rose at a few minutes to four o'clock. The following is the result of the revision of the lisp for Aldgate ward, which is now concluded : Liberal claims allowed ... 1 Ditto objections sustained ...

THE HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths registered in London in the week end ing Saturday, September 15, were 2,865; of which 1,682 were by cholera; making the aggregate num bers, since the commencement of the epidemic in London, 12,8:37. The deaths from all causes in the last six consecutive weeks were 1,909, 2,230, 2,456, 2,796, 3,183, 2,865. The numbers last week sensibly decreased. On Sunday the inhabitants of these islands, in the city and the country, in their cathedrals, village churches, and chapels, assembled to entreat God to stay the destroying plague; and, as if by anticipation, it began to subside, so that the time was most appropriate. Afrer they had been journeying through the gloom, while the darkness grew thicker, the terror greater, the strokes of mortality nearer and everywhere uncertain, the light began to dawn, and the prayer—half-supplication, half-thanksgiving— rose of itself from the hearts of the people. These great acts of religion are rarely performed in England ; and whether the earnestness of the nation or the truth of God is regarded, the prayer for health has a much more serious import here than the cere . monial rites of paganism in Persia, Greece, or Rome ; yet there it would have been deemed impiety to ask the increase or the earlier and later rains, unless the land were tilled and the seed sown ; or to implore victory for their arms, except through the valour of well equipped armies. The prayer for the public health in England is a solemn pledge, not only that all the powers of the State, but that the local autho rities, the clergy, the educated classes, who form and govern opinion—all the multitudes who join in that prayer, will employ the means which, with God's blessing, will insure its accomplishment, and save the people from the ravages of the cholera and other epidemics. Thousands of the houses of London have now no pure water; in some places where the chOlera is most fatal the inhabitants are driven to use the polluted waters of tidal sewers for culinary and household purposes. .This state of things will exist no longer; the first engineers of the country will be employed to lay the rivers under contribution, and in every house there will be a spring of fresh, filtered, living water; for circulating water is the life-blood of a city. The bodies of the dead, " sown in corruption," will be decently interred in distant grounds and sacred groves, where their flesh may be resolved into its elements, without tainting the air and destroying their brothers. The carnage of slaughtered animals will no longer be suffered to infect the air of cities. The sinks and sewers of London—black bubbling lakes and rivers under ground—extending from the Thames to the house-drains and cesspools, send up damps into dwellings nightly, travel by us in the streets daily, and through a thousand mouths by the way and river side pour their poisonous incense on the passengers for ever : these emanations, if not drawn through and decomposed by fire, will no longer open under our faces, but ascend with the smoke over the houses ; and other matters be carried, solid or in steams of water, over distant fields. No city, perhaps, ever possessed such an efficient body of medical men as are now practising in London. During this epidemic they have performed services which in any other field must have won the highest honours; combating the disease night and day in the most pestilential quarters, and that on much more settled principles than the public might be led to sus pect from certain discussions at the medical societies. And their office has been discharged with so much kindness as to deserve the gratitude of the poor, in stead of drawing down on their heads the charges with which the physicians of other countries have often been assailed by the populace. Nearly all the sick have been seen by these practitioners ; yet 12,837 persons have already died of cholera in London. How is this ? The medical force will be found to have been employed at an immense disadvantage. It is called into action at the wrong end of the malady. Inquiries prove that while medical advice is generally sought in the characteristic stage, it is seldom ob tained in the premonitory stage, when the power of medicine is decisive ; and to that earlier and still more important period preceding the premonitory stage, which is prevented as easily as cured, medical prac tice has had little or nothing to say. Cholera here also only shows in high relief what exists in ordinary circumstances. Medical men rarely if ever treat the beginnings of diseases, and are scarcely ever consulted professionally on the preservation of the health of cities or families. The art of preserving health is taught in no regular course of lectures at any of the great schools of medicine in the United Kingdom. Yet the classical sanitary works of Pringle, Lind, Blane, Jackson, Johnson, and Martin have been framed from observation in the British navy and army- In the science of health there are more exact demon strable truths than in the science of disease ; and the advantage of " prevention" over " cure" requires no proof. In the Cyropcedia of Xenophon physicians who only treat the sick are compared to " menders of torn clothes," while the preservation of health is declared a noble art, worthy of Cyrus him self. Vegetius espaks in similar, Jackson in stronger terms, but perhaps unjustly ; for if it is godlide to save many from suffering, and to carry them in healthy life up to the natural term of existence, it is a worthy occupation to rescue a few from the arms of death, or incurable infirmity. But the pre servation and restoration of health are parts of one science; and if, as has been done by London and Liverpool, health-officers be appointed in all the dis tricts of the kingdom, the art of preserving health will be studied by a high order of men well paid by the public; and ultimately with an increase of their remuneration—the diminution of sickness, the disappearance of epidemics, immense advantage to the public—the whole medical profession may devote themselves to the preservation and development of the vigour of the human faculties, instead of being tied down to the treatment of the sick and dying. "And this," Lord Bacon says, after his great survey of learning, " we hope might redound to a general good, if physicians would but exert themselves and raise their minds above the sordid considerations of cure; not deriving their honour from the necessities of tnan. kind, but becoming ministers of Divine power and goodness, both in prolonging and restoring the life of man ; especially as this may be effected by safe, com modious, and not illiberal means, though hitherto unattempted. And certainly it would be an earnest of Divine favour if, while we are journeying to the land of promise, our garments, those frail bodies of ours, were not greatly to wear out in the wilderness of this world."—llist. Vile et Mortis. ADDRESS TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF CAN TERBURY. NATIONAL HUMILIATION. The following address to the Archbiihop of Can terbury is in course of signature : "My Lord,—We, the undersigned clergy of the province of Canterbury, venture respectfully to re quest that your Grace will be pleased to authorise the observance of a special day of humiliation and prayer throughout the province, on account of cholera in this country. "We venture to approach your Grace with this request, for the following reasons : " First—Because upwards of 11,000 persona have already fallen victims to this disease in the metropo lis and its suburbs, and a proportionate number in the provinces. " Secondly— Because we are firmly persuaded that, although such n excessive mortality may be aggra vated by imperfect drainage and other local causes, it can primarily be ascribed to nothing but the imme diate visitation of Divine Providence ; while we also believe, on the authority of Holy Scripture, and our own national experience, that we have no right to expect to be relieved from this visitation until we have humbled ourselves before the Throne of Grace, and, as a nation, implored of God's mercy that we be not utterly consumed. " Thirdly—Because from the opportunities we have of ascertaining the feelings of the laity on this subject we are convinced that, although in particular places days of special humiliation have already been observed, the appointment of some general day by your Grace is most earnestly desired, and would be observed throughout the province with remarkable strictness and solemnity. " We have, &c." Signatures will be received until after Tuesday next, by Messrs. Rivington, St. Paul's Churchyard and Waterloo-place; Messrs. Hatchard, 187, Picca dilly ; and Mr. Masters, 78, New Bond-street, and 33, Aldersgate-street. GENERAL CABRERA.—We are sorry to announce that the gallant General Cabrera has been seriously in disposed during the pest week, at his residence in Mar garet-street. The worst symptoms have happily subsided, however, and we are glad to learn that Dr. Cremens, the medical attendant of the gallant officer, confidently anticipates his complete restoration to health in a few days. During the gallant General's illness he has been daily visited by his R , yal Highness the Infante Don Juan (of Spain), who has manifested the greatest anxiety and most honourable solicitude on his behalf. All the Spanish Royalists in London—many Portuguese holding legitimate opinions —and a large number of the English nobility and gentry, have also called to make I inquiries. —Post.

One letter says—" We are not allowed to speak with the State prisoners, particularly Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Meagher. The latter appears a quiet, gentlemanly man. We have had beautiful weather throughout, and a very pleasant passage." The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, went out of harbour this morning, for 'Woolwich, to be paid off. A melancholy accident occurred at Spithead last evening. Captain Somerville, of the Royal Engi neers, wife, and female servant, had been on board the Superb, and were returning homewards in the boat of a waterman named Bailey, when they changed into a smaller boat, or punt, which, being over freighted, instantly capsized, and all were immersed in the waters, between the Superb and Southsea-beach. Captain and Mrs. Somer ville regained the boat, and were picked up, but the less fortunate attendant sank to rise no more alive. Thr body, however, was promptly recovered, and conveyed to the King's-rooms, on Southsea-beach, where a warm bath and the utmost assiduity of its proprietors (Mr. and Mrs. Hollingsworth), combined with the best medical attendance, were set in opera tion, but all fruitlessly; animation did not return. The distress of the Gallant Captain and his amiable lady is naturally great at the disaster, which is the second of the like nature from a similar imprudent cause within three week 9, and ought to operate as a warning to all excursionists upon the water in such treacherous craft as " pleasure' boats. The Myrtle steam-tender, Master Commander S. Braddon, sailed this evening, with supernumeraries, and one sergeant, one corporal, and 17 gunners of the Royal Marine Artillery, for service in the Hecla steam-sloop.

The race was for 101. a side, the distance being from Putney bridge to Chiswick Eyot, and shortly after the start, which was well taken by both, Gale's boat, one of pecu liarly light construction, capsized, and he was unavoid ably taken into bis cutter. Chitty, who was a trifle astern, but rowing extremely well, at the time of the accident, pursued his way over the course in order to claim the stakes. DARING ATTEMPT TO ROB A STEAMER ON HER PASSAGE FROM DUBLIN.—Three men, Robert Smith, John Beaton, and William Kenney, were charged with an attempt to realise large plunder from the cabin pas sengers on board the Britannia City of Dublin steam ship, during her passage from Dublin to this port, on Saturday night last. The prisoners, after dark, had obtruded themselves into the saloon, though they bad not paid cabin fare. The steward observed some strange conduct on the part of one of them, but thought he was merely looking for a berth to sleep on, and having no suspicion of his intention, did not question him. The steward soon afterwards found that several articles had been taken from his pantries; and two gentlemen pas sengers afterwards found that the same parties had been in their state rooms, and had ransacked their pockets, of money, &c. The vessel was off Holyhead during part of these transac'ions. Part of the property, nearly all of which was recovered, was found on board after the vessel reached the waters of the Mersey. Mr. Rushton sen tenced the three prisoners to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour.—Liverpool Standard. POWER OF CONSCIENCE.—The following letter has been received by Mr. Josiah Hannam, of this town:— " Dear Sir,—Ab mt four years ago I was at your shop to purchase goods, and when paying for the same, you, in giving me change for gold, gave me 54. too much. I joyfully received and kept it, determined to make it sup port my pursuits after happiness in the road of dissipa tion and vice. But a change has been wrought in my mind; the influence of Divine light has led me to re pentance, and to make restitution for my past conduct (not to God but to man), I have sent back the principal with simple and compound interest—total, 10s. In doing this, I feel myself as only paying you your own: receive it as such; and believe me when I say, that here the business had not closed but for that extension of God's mercy, free and undeserved, which spoke my sins are forgiven, and satisfied me by his Spirit's witness that the handwriting against me is blotted out, and that I am saved from the guilt and dominion of sin. I subscribe not my name lest cu r i os i t y s hGuld revive a circumstance that has already occasi one d a il amount of pain that would not be equipoised by any g ood consequence tha t plucked from the may ensue from particularising my name and addr ess, but beg leave to state, I am a brand burning by the instrumentality of Weele:an Methodis m.

The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held in the Star Hotel, Glasgow, on Tuesday, the 18th inst. ; Peter Blackburn, Esq., in the chair. The report stated that, although there is an increase in the receipts for passengers, there is a very con siderable decrease in the number carried. This de crease is, doubtless, partly attributable to the opening of other lines, giving tourists or travellers for plea sure a choice of route. The working expenses are 30,419/. 2s. 81, showing a diminution of 9401. as compared with the corresponding period of 1848. In accordance with the intimation given at the last meeting, the capital account is now closed, and every further expenditure beyond the sum now stated shall be met from revenue, no further sum being called from the shareholders or borrowed from the public. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, stated that he had little further to add to what the report contained. He would, however, be willing to give any explanations, and answer any questions which might be put to him. Since the report was issued several letters had been addressed to him by shareholders, complaining that it did not contain a statement of the liabilities of the company, in reference to other lines. Such a statement was made in the last report, and since, no alteration had taken place. He might state, however, that the construction of the Edinburgh and Bathgate line would cost 200,0001., and they were bolmd to pay 4 per cent. during its formation ; but it was proposed to amalgamate with this line, which would enable them to do away with the expenses of the double direction. In the Stir lingahire Midland they had expended 75,1351., and it would require a further sum of 713,4051. to cemplete it, thus making a total of 151,540/. This stock bore 5 per cent. interest till 1852, and after that si. They paid 8 per cent. cea 140,0001. in the Wilsontown, but they bad the option to bay up the line at '751. per share, which would amount to 210,0001. ; 60,0001. would still be required to open the line to Bathgate, snaking a total of 270,0001. They were also interested in the Stirling and .Don fermline, but as that company had failed to obtain power to make the line to Stirling, the directors of this company were in consequence advised that they had no further liability in connexion with it. Mr. It DUNLOP seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. Mr. M'CLELLAND, at the instance of Mr. Cox and other gentlemen in Edinburgh, gave notice of motion ; for next half-yearly meeting, that the company should run morning and evening trains from each terminus on Sundays, the accommodation to he given by first, second, and third-class carriages being attached to the mail trains. The meeting then separated. WINDSOR RAILWAYS.—The Great Western Com pany, are working day and n i g ht t o com pl e t e th e i r line into Windsor, where the passenger station is nearly erected. It is expected that the line, which will give a direct communication between London and Windsor, will be opened on the Ist of October. CHARLEROI AND ERQUILINES RAILWAY.—The ironmasters of the Sambre district have made an offer to assist in the execution of the line from Erquilines to Haumont, as regards a considerable portion of the material required for its completion, and taking to the extent of one .half of the shares. ANGLO-ITALIAN RAILWAY.—This company have received the decree of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, granting a guarantee of four per cent. upon the capital stock of the Maria Antonio Company, who are constructing the line from Florence to Prato and Pistoj a. NEW GAUGE OF RAIL FOR. BRANCH LINES.—A new plan has just been proposed by Sir John Mac neill, the engineer, for working branch railways in districts where the traffic would not warrant a more extensive system, by a gauge of 3 feet 10 inches, in steed of the present gauge of 4 feet 8 inches, with locomotive engines and plant to correspond. DESTRUCTION OF THE PACKET SIIIP HENRY CLAY BY FIRE, NEW YORK, SEPT. 5.—1 have just returned from a melancholy scene—the destruction of the New York and Liverpool liner, Henry Clay, 1,400 tons burden, and her outward-bound cargo on board, by fire. The Henry Clay was moored at the foot of Maiden lane, in the East River, and about two o'clock this morning flames burst forth from between-decks and up the main hatchway. The alarm was instantly given, but such was the combustible nature of her cargo—chiefly turpentine, resin, flour, and cotton (250 bales)—that although the fire companies and their engines were on the pier alongside in the course of a few minutes, yet it was impossible to save the noble ship. In about an hour the flames enveloped the rigging in their destructive folds, mounting mast high with a thousand tongues of roaring fury, throw ing their red and lurid glare with a fearful reflection over the city, Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, and a perfect forest of masts, whilst in Broadway it ap peared as if the deep and roseate twilight of dawn illumined the eastern heavens. The confusion and sublimity of the scene were appalling, especially as the bale-fires flashed upon busy groups of men and boats hauling out the neighbouring ships, which were exposed to the utmost danger. Soon after four o'clock the main and mizen masts fell, each with a tremen dous crash, and amid °rips and shouts of " Clear away I Fur God's sake stand from under 1" O n e man only was injured, so far as yet known, by th e f a lli ng spars; but it is feared that his wounds are mortal. The foremast did not go by the board until nearly seven o'clock ; and at that hour the ship had heeled over against the pier ; sheets of fire, and dense rolling volumes of black smoke bursting through her entire deck, and many holes on her larboard side—the last sad scene in the conflagration of the Henry Clay. The Henry Clay was one of the finest vessels of the line of Grinnell, Minturn, and Co., and was worth 100,000 dollars. The cause of the fire is not known, neither can I learn with certainty how the ship and her cargo were insured. The packet Waterloo, and another very large vessel, bad a narrow escape. Much credit is due to the New York firemen for their prompt and well-directed exertions—for they alone saved a whole fleet from the destroying element. ELEVEN O'CLOCK.—But a few timbers of the Henry Clay now remained. The loss may as well be called total. The ship was insured by Messrs. Grin nell and Minturn by the year. The cargo, if owned by English merchants, is probably insured. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 17. Her Maji.sty and the Prince, attended by the Mar chioness of Douro, went to the "Hat" at Loch Muick this morning, and will pass the night there. The Prince of Wales, attended by Mr. Birch, rode out on horseback. Dispatches from the Governor of South Australia were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Earl of Minto has left town for Scotland. The Earl of Lichfield has joined the Countess and family at Shuckborough, from the Continent. SURREY THEATRE. The operatic company which has held profitable possession of this theatre for the last few weeks has departed—the singing birds having taken their flight, the actors have donned the sock and buskin, and are seeking to elevate and delight the Surrey public. The selection of Sheridan Knowles's play of The Rose of Arragon speaks well for the intention of the manage ment, and is a step in the right direction. Good plays and humorous farces must, in the long run, prove more profitable than sanguinary melodrama and gaudy spec tacle, and the result of the experiment of Monday night must, we should think, set all doubts on this point at rest. The company is capitally selected, and fully efficient to the due interpretation of the better class of drama, and the healthy sentiment, nervous poetry, and ingenious situations of The Rose of Amager: were thoroughly appreciated and relished with great gusto by a crowded auditory. Mr. Creswick, who was a leading member of the Haymarket Theatre during the last two seasons, has become one of the managers, a sufficient warranty tha t all fitting exi gencies of the stage will be duly cared for. The play was exceedingly well acted in all its parts, and the scenery, dresses, and appointments were on the most liberal scale. Mr. Creswick, Mr. Shepherd, and Ma dame Ponisi, in the leading characters, were de servedly applauded , an d called before the curtain at the termination of the tragedy. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE AYR RACE COURSE...—. An accident, attended with a fatal result, occurred at the Western Meeting at Ayr on Friday. As Mr. Drake's colt Reversion was running the second heat for the Glas gow and Ayr Railway Company's Plate, a farm-servant named Wm. M'Ghee ran across the course immediately in front of the animal. M'Ghee was struck by the horse and knocked heavily to the ground, when one of the fore feet struck him on the face, and one of the hind feet trampled on his body. lie was carried to the hospital in an insensible state; and despite the utmost attention of Dr. Crawfcrd, he never rallied, and died the fPliOwing morning. From a post mortem examination of the body, the bones of the cheek were found to be fraettired, one of the ribs broken, and the liver injured. No blame is attached to Marson, the jcckey of Reversion.—nr Observer.
