The barony and est ,te of Islay, mtnprising the island of Islay arid small adjacent islands is in the game latitude as Edinburgh and 9 ut ,ogre l Asgow, and is ogre of the richest and most productive properties in e west of Scotland. It co - tains about 140,000 acre.:, of which 34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this maguificeast property amounts at present to 2 0,001/.; but a Government grant of 30,000/. is now being ex pended in drainage ant improvements.. The rents are periodically and legitimately increased as the leaser fall in, and it is evident that reh a property must, under improved agriculture , affo rd a much larger return. the purchase, it is 'expected, will be effected for About 500.0001., and it Is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,0031., in 12,000 501. shares, each s hareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to be insured oat of the rental, so as to secure the. repayment of his S Ubscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The r emainder of the accumulated rental ist to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business Of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dl - idend of Profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton !the, will, under any circumstances, rec eive back the amount of his investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the general life assistance department (and the basis and guarantee i ndicated cannot fail to matte this branch most extensive and 'ucra tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, , every ten years h's nominee survives, in the accumulated and constintly improving rental ; and, In the ev. nt of his nominee beim; the last survivor, will become the abso'ute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontines have been maturely con. sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq., the eminent actuary of the Is dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire ap• probation. The estfte is to be vested in three trustee!, resident in Scotland.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. 26, Cornhill, London. Capital £500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament. This 7 lnstitution embraces important and substantial advantages with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties. Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi sion for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary available resource to himself, if ne,:dial, while! lying. The Assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid. DIVISION - O 1 PROFI N. The continued prosperity of the Society has enab'ea the Directors .it the Annual Meeting, held on the 10th of May, 1848, to declare a ,ixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid on each Policy effected on the profit scale.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. ;ENEFITS 11.

A 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 the second), When every thing is reckoned : A half-a-dozen sovereigns, I suppose. Barely enough to buy a suit of 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 uurchase at ? MOSES and SON Would sell you one For infinitely less; A suit that you'll pronounce to be, In point of style and quality, A most superior dress. Nay 'would really lay a bet with you, That such a sum would almost buy you two, 'Six pounds, indeed, what next? The very mention makes me feel quite Veit." Nay (said the other), don't let me Misturb your tranquil feelings, I was not cognizant, you see, Of MOSES' moderate dealings. I've dealt for years and years with one good man, Thy, positively, now, I'll change my plan. Six pounds—let's see—if what you say is true, • MOSItS for that would furnish me light through; Yes, :MOSES would supply for that A pair of Wellingtons—a suit, and hat. Thanks for the hint, I'll not omit to take it, I waist a suit, and P.L. and SON shall make it." LIST OF PRICES. UADY WADE.

HALF PRE MUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the rxemiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid for the first five years — the retained h a lves, being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE, WORLD POL [CIES are granted. whereby tho security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER yIIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.

A sentry of the Royal Marine Corps was stationed near the place; but, owing to a high paling recently put up. his position did not command a good view of the window from which they descended. It is supposed they have escaped in a canvass suit of clothes, as the greater part of their con vict dress was left behind. The convicts must have contemplated their escape for some time, as the window frame was found to be greased so as to open with greater ease, and an inside shutter having been generally up, they had better opportunities of making the preparations without being noticed. The windows of the lower range of the rigging-house ought to be built up with brick, as they are seldom used, and two sentries placed on that station, one to walk the lane, the boundary of the dockyard will, and the other to stand at the south east corner; SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The Emperor of Russia has withdrawn his troops from Hungary with a promptitude and sincerity which are more calculated to increase his weight and influence in the affairs of Europe than any concessions of territory wrung from an enfeebled ally, or any act of hostile defiance to the other states which surround the frontiers of his empire. We are not surprised at the haughty and self-applauding language of the proclamations in which the Russian Autocrat has thanked his armies and celebrated their triumph. Nor do we regret that the harshness of some of the expressions contained in these documents should be such as to make the Austrian Ministers feel how little such acts of friendship are to be coveted or accepted. The Emperor Nicholas took up arms against the Hungarian insurrection partly from a desire to extricate the house of Austria from the formidable difficulties which had been aggravated by the open and by the clandestine enmity of other powers. But the principal and decisive considera tion which led him to enter upon this campaign was the extreme danger to which the possible success of the Hungarian Republic, assisted by the most daring soldiers of the Polish emigration, obviously exposed the most unsettled portion of his own dominions. Many thousand Poles fought in the ranks of the Magyars. Dembinski and Bern exercised a degree of control over the military plans of M. Kossuth's Government which might subserve their own ulterior objects, but which was highly unpalatable to such men as Georgey, wile probebly entertains the wonted aversion of the Magyars to their Samaritan neigh bours. These foreign auxiliaries had contributed to make the breach between the Hungarians and the house of Austria irreparable, by encouraging the de position of .the Emperor and his race, because their only hope was in total revolution. No recognition of the national rights of Hungary could have satisfied them ; but it was precisely the excesses to which they I ad contributed which brought down upon them the whole force of the North, and terminated the cam paign. Moreover, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, extending its observation to the rest of Europe, was well aware that the triumph or defeat of the Hunga rian insurrection was not a question confined to the frontiers of that kingdom. Its consequences em braced the whole of southern Germany. Already, in October last year, Hungary had kindled the confla gration in Vienna which rivalled the horrors of the Parisian days of June, when the Polish Bern and the Saxon Robert Blum conspired to overthrow the monarchical institutions of Germany in the heart of her greatest capital. However patriotic the inten tions of some of the Magyars may have been, their cause was identified elsewhere with the explosion of those frantic doctrines and acts of violence which had no recently spread terror and destruction through so many of the fairest cities of Europe. At one moment the policy of M. Kossuth had been daringly aggres sive ; had he become undisputed master of Hungary, it would probably, or rather perforce, have become so again. The termination of the Hungarian war has interrupted a series of calamities to which it is not easy to assign bounds. But, whilst we express our satisfaction that the blind enthusiasm of some of our contemporaries has not been gratified at so enormous a price as a erolongeol European convulsion, we have never concealed our regret that no other means of averting it could be employed with effect, and we con cur with some of our habitual antagonists in viewing with dissatiefaetion the increase which has thereby accrued to the power and influence of Russia. That the fact is so is generally acknowledged, and no less generally deplored, because we have yet to learn that the armies and agents of Russia are to be regarded as the champions of improvement, tied it fares but ill with freedom and civilisation if they are to be the defenders of Europe from the most grievous excesses. But to what cause are we to attribute this augmen tation of the European ascendancy of Russia, which those who are so ready to call revolutions liberty ob serve and deprecate as we do ourselves ? Evidently to the occurrence of those very convulsions which their puerile enthusiasm was so eager to applaud; and secondly, to the extraordinary position of British diplomacy on the continent, which some of them have the intrepidity or the ignorance to defend. What ever Russia has pima has been by the weakness of others, rather than by her own strength—by opportunities of influence which offered them selves to her more readily than if she had sought them—by calamities which threw others pros trate whilst she remained erect, and which left her mistress of her policy and resources, whilst all the other continental States were without force and without will. In other words, the revolution which paralyzed the other Governments of. Europe left her the more free to pursue her own course, even against their aberrations, so that we may venture to affirm that no combination of circumstances could have been so favourable to the extension of the power of Russia as that sudden and irrational outbreak which swept away the habit ua l c hecks to her policy. The Emperor Nicholas made use of his positron with great forbearance and moderation ; but, had his ambition been of a more active kind, he would have found that h:s most effectual auxiliaries abroad were precisely those Liberals who professed the keenest hostility to his policy, but who had destroyed the system by which that policy was controlled. The conflict between a regular and absolute Government, conducting its affairs with skill and secrecy, and dis posing of great military resources, and a fluctuating, irregular, and irresponsible popular power, whose resources are dispersed, and whose diplomacy is in the street, can have but one termination. One country, indeed, besides Russia, remained entirely exempt from these infirmities of revolution ; the measures of the British Foreign office were never taken with greater freedom from external pressure or popular debility; and if they have failed it has been not from necessity but from choice. Nevertheless, even when an effort has been made by this country to oppose or counteract a tendency which she disap proved, it has so happened that she has not only succumbed, but has actually contributed to promote the result least acceptablelo British policy. We have seen it asserted that in the Danish mediation Lord , Palmerston succeeded in defeating the intentions of the Russian Cabinet in the Baltic. A more erroneous statement was never made, fur the settlem ent which was ultimately adopted was precisely that which Count Nesse:rodo had sanctioned, and every impor tant point in the negotiation and the war was deter mined, not by English suggestions, but by Russian declarations. It was well known that the Emperor Nicholas was resolved and prepared to act, though with reluctance, and that we were not. So also in the affair of Moldavia and Wallachia ; when England protested against the Russian occupation and was even said to have fomented the warlike spirit of the Porte, the Russian-Cabinet simply took no notice of our remonstrances, and declared it should continue to hold the country. In Italy and Sicily, when ie was found that the weight of England was thrown on the side of the revolution, the credit and influence of Russia increased in a compound ratio with all the Governments we had estranged from ourselves; and, to crown these exploits of our foreign policy, our persecution of the interests of Austria contributed to send her as a suppliant to Warsaw until Russian armies appeared on the Lower Danube. If, therefore, the Emperor of Russia hae reason to view his present political poseion with pride and satisfac tion, he may thank, in the first instance, those factions which have vveekened end convulsed the continental States of Europe, but heowesat least an equal debt of gratitude to that English Minister who based his policy on the chances of these revolutionary adven turers, and at once threw aside the principles and the power which this country had so long adhered to and enjoyed in her foreign relations. CHRONICLE. —That well known Greek motto which is the first thing that strikes the eye of the visitor who seeks health or amusement at the Bath Pump-rooms, may have an undenia'b'le local appro priateness—but, to the mind of a Lond o ner, it is as far as possible from conveying a truth of universal and unconditional application. To, us of the metropolis there is something of cruel and cutting irony in the maxim that so obtrusively proclaims, though it be but in a dead language, the virtues of the limpid element. We know " water," or what is so called, under several characters—but in none of them is our acquaintance with it of such a nature as to render it agreeable to us to hear its praises. We are familiar with it, first, for instance, as the nominal designa tion and supposed chief ingredient of that foul and fetid ditch which, under the name of " River Thames," flows backwards and forwards, twice in every twenty-four hours, between London and Westminster on the one side, and South ' wark and Lambeth on the other—charged with the accumulated refuse of the dwellings of mere than two millions of human beings We further know it as a liquor th a t is to be obtained from certain parish pumps in the immediate vicinity of grave-yards, whence it comes saturated with the reeking pollupon of countless corpses in every stage of decomposition. And we are likewise acquainted with it as an inordinately high priced article of domestic necessity, which we prccure in insufficient quantities, at inconvenient intervals, and of variable and (mostly) equivocal quality—which we have to store up for use in a highly awkward and expensive fashion—and which, by dint of boiling, filtration, and other such devices, we 'yet contrive to render barely driukablo. Here our m ( t rci O m an kuow. ledge of what is sarcastically called " the element" may be said to terminate. As for the " water" of che. wintry and the poets, the London of the nineteenth century knows it not, except as a tantaliz ing hearsay. Our nearest approach to the enjoy ment of this universal gift of nature is but a make• shift imitation, for which we have to ray very smart half-yearly rates. The metropolis of the wealthiest and most powerful empire of the world is, with respect to this first necessary of life, very much in the condition of a beleaguered city or an ill found ship. And, as matters stand, the evil is a growing one. Under present circumstances, our civilization is every year taking us further off from the realization of that first condition of personal, domestic, and public cleanliness and health—an ample and con stant supply of pure water. We lay especial stress on this consideration, for it is the great governing fact that ought never to be lost sight of in the discussion of the question of metropolitan water supply. Things are every day getting worse instead of better. With the sewerage problem still unsolved, every house that is added to this stupendous wilderness of streets, squares, courts, and alleys —every new family that swells our population of 2,200,000 souls—nay, every "improvement," as we eall it, that is made in the art and science of house drainage—only increases the pollution of that vast central reservoir into which runs all the accumulated filth of London and its suburbs, and out of which six of the eight so called " Water" Companies that supply London pump up the mixture which eventually finds its way to cur cisterns and our tables. With our existing resources and appliances, not only is improve ment an impossibility, but deterioration is a necessity. If we except the Hampstead and (partially) the New River Company, all the water-works by which the metropolis is provided with this prime necessity of life derive their supplies from the Thames within range of sewerage—that is, between Brentford on the one hand and Woolwich on the other. Thus the case, as it stands, is, from the nature of it, desperate. The two million and more inhabitants of this metropolis need never hope to know the taste of pure water—not though they doubled their pre sent enormous con tribution to the companies of 350,000/. per an num—nay, they must expect the quality of the ex isting substitute to become progressively worse than it is at present—until science, art, and legisla tion shall have devised and executed some totally and generically new mode of procuring this necessary of life. All the evils, sanitary, social, and moral, public and private, which proceed from the universal use of adulterated water, will inevitably grow, as London itself grows, until we learn how to fetch our supplies from beyond the reach of metropolitan sewerage. This question of the quality of London water ap pears to us of such transcendant importance, in a sanitary point of view, as determining, at all events, the direction in which we are not to look for any im provement in this vital branch of our social and munici pal, economy, and, of course, as incidentally clearing the ss ay towards a positive soluticn of the problem, that we have thought it better to concentrate attention on it, in the first instance. We shall take another opportunity of dwelling on the equally material, though perhaps less embarrassing, considerations con nected with the question of quantity—and likewise on the subordinate, but by no means unimportant, subject of price ; and when the outlines of the whole matter are thus brought under the reader's notice, it will be time enough to speak of the various plans, now more or less distinctly tefore the public, by which it is proposed to remedy, once for all, the melancholy and shameful deficiency under which our metropolis has long laboured. In the meanwhile, it is with the utmost satisfaction that we observe the signs of a powerful public sentiment forming itself on this all-important question. Without wishing to express or imply an opinion prematurely on the merits of any project that is either supported or opposed by those who are now agitating the matter, we are at least glad to perceive that popular feeling is fairly stirred on the subject, and that a general agreement exists as to the essential desiderata— namely, entire independence of the sewerage region of the Thames, constancy and universality of supply at a minimum cost, and unity and responsibility of management. Notwithstanding our discouraging experience of the qualifications of our present rulers for dealing with a great sanitary and municipal question, we cannot forego the hope, that by the time Parliament next meets this matter (with some kindred ones) will have become ripe for legislative settlement, and that our boasted nineteenth century civilization will at length be found competent to the task of curing its own evils and abating its own nuisances. AFFRAY BETWEEN POACHERS AND WATCHERS. — On Saturday morning at an early hour seven or eight poachers visited the preserves of the Earl of Sefton at Altear. The poachers had just commenced operations ov hen they were surprised by Mr. Warner, and a number of watchers, when a serious fight ensued, which termi !latest in the capture of seven of the poachers. The teen were brought to Ormskirk about nine o'clock the same morning; 4'o of the gang were conveyed in a cart, being unable to walk from the injuries received, their heads being much hurt. Mr. Warner, the gamekeeper, was severely cut about the head, and some of the watchers came in for a share. The prisoners were ex amined before T. Brandreth and J Imes Culshaw, Rigs. and were remanded. The injured poachers are attended by Mr. Symons, the union surgeon. It is supposed all the poachers are from Liverpool; several of them are old offenders.—Liverpool Met6try. EMETIC TARTAR IN CHOLERA.—The French Patrie has the following:—" After numerous observations made on a large scale, a military surgeon at Landreciya has published the following fact. Emetic is a means as simple as it is prompt and infallible against the symp toms of cholera. On the slightest derangement of the bowels, or inclination to vomit, although the vomiting may have begun with cholics, with or wit!i:;ut diarrhco s, sensation of coldness, cramps, the blue stage, headache, Rec., a❑ emetic taken cn the appearance of one or the whelk of these symptoms united, in the dose of from five to ten centigramme-a, will make them entirely di,appear in less than three hours, or in the course of the day at the latest. This fact is so clearly proved by evidence, that if every person inhabiting an inreetv-ci place were to carry about him a grain or two of tartar emetic, and take it as explained above, the cholera will never attain any gravity, and there would not take place one death in a thousand cases." CHOLERA IN THE QUEE'N'S PRISON.—It was re ported yesterday, by parties who attended the Insolvent Debtors' Court from the Queen's Prison, that the cholera had broken out in that establishment, and attention is, therefore, directed to a section in an Act of Parliament framed in the year 1843, which should be publicly known. By the 15th section it is enacted, " That whenever one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State shall deem it necessary the prisoners, or any of them, shall be removed on account of any contagious or infectious disease in the prison, or upon any other emergency, it shall be lawful for the Secretary of State, by a warrant under his hand, directed to the Marshal or Keeper of the Queen's Prison, to order that such prisoners shall be removed, in the custody of the said Marshal or Kuepsr, to sueh'other place of imprisonment as the Secretary of State shall shrect, such place being first reported by the Marshal or Keeper of the Queen's Prison to the Secre tary of State as a safe place of custody, and fit for the reception of such prisoners, and wht.n such disease shall have ceased, or the purp,see for which the priso ners shall have been removed shall have been fulfilled, it shall be lawful for the Secretary of State, by a like war rant, to order that snob prisoners be removed back to the Queen's Prison, and any place to which any prisoners shall be removed under such warrant shall be deemed during their imprisonment therein to be a part of the Queen's Prison, and no such removal of any prison:r stall be construed to be an escape." MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—During the whole of last week there was much anxiety felt on account of the absence of the usual American news, by which, in some measure, business war disarranged. The tidings brought by the last steamer have not, as yet, had much effect on this market. Though Liverpool market is expected to be higher, most of the cotton goods that were sold in the Manchester market yesterday went off at a slight reduction. Most of the manufacturers, how ever, are firm, and have refused all offers, except at the full rates. The market is exceedingly unsteady, and a very trifling amount of business is being transacted. Shippers aro doing little, their business being confined to actual orders. The home-trade houses are complaining, and it is thought by some that cholera is preventing many buyers from appearing in the market. Man chester, however, has been so favoured hitherto that this cannot have much influence. Yarns and heavy goods are in no better condition than last week, and but very few sales are effected. SOUTIVEASTERN RAILWAY.—We understand that the directors have determined upon carrying out all the important financial recommendations of the shareholders' committee of investigation. The dividend to be declared to-morrow for the past half year—which, it i 3 to be borne in mind, is the worst six mouths of the railway year—will be a reduced one. It is rumoured that the dividend will be about 10s. or 121. LATE FIRE AT CAunninGE.—An inquest to in quire into the manlier in ,which the late fire in this town originated was commenced on Mo nda y last, at the Town Hall, before Mr. C. 11. Cooper, deputy for Mr. 1). King, the coroner for the borough, and a number of witnesses were examined. The further investigation was ad journed till yesterday evening. The inqairy was insti tuted in comquence of rumours which were circulated to the prejudice of character. The orders for the Hecate steam- sloop to equip and sail with all speed from Portsmouth for the Cape of Good Hope, issued on Sunday night, were superseded by others on Monday night, returning her to her former state. Pleasure is like a cordial, a little of it is not in , jurious,.but too much destroys.--. Eliza Cook's Journal. EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Having fled from the City to Brighton to escape the risk of cholera, and finding that even there pre cautions are needful, we consequently on the morn ing of this eventful day made a tolerable breakfast of cald roast beef, ham, and partridge, and took (we confess it with shame for the prevailing degeneracy of the present day) tea, the succedaneum of the blood of barley, characteristic of the golden age of Homer, when man and beast were fed with the same cereal. Remembering the last words that fell from the lips of Socrates, " Crito, we owe a cock to Esculapius ; pay it, th ere f ore , an d d o not neg l ec t it ;" an d, conse quently, appears to kn ow so li tt l e a b out c h o l era , we did no t paying due respect to the divinity, who neglect to close th e orifice of the stomach with a drop of eau de-vie de C ognac , to intimate that another was coming, and to complete the libation to the " God unknown " who cures men of this frightful malady. Aristou men udoor biou, as Pindar says, in Bloom field's last edition, " Brandy is best." Leaving by the nine o'clock train, we were greeted by a splendid day. No railway in the vicinity of London presents more rural charms than the Brighton. The birds, objects of the sportsman's eager pursuit at this season, had been driven away from the broad acres and square miles of land covered with crops into the turoip-fields, the copses, and the heaths. The sportsman's dog stands fixed, as if struck by catalepsy, immobile as the living model from which it Praxiteles or a Bally our :_ Multiply to i m p ar t t h e P romet h ean lif e o f b eauty to th e notice. liul tipl The he th cost os a t ve o ra f average this height may by be cold marble.

Say the height is thirty yards, the length ninety, and the breadth twenty yards, fifty-four thousand yards is the result, equal to a cost of 2,7001. The flocks of sheep and the herds of cattle all graze with their heads in the same direction, as if marshalled by the drill 7 sergeant. A cow, looking up with her placid face at the rapid train, is twisting her tail, with bovine facility, into a true-lover's knot. Leaving the rail at Reigate, we drive across the delightful country of the North Downs. The South Downs have their escarpment facing the north ; these, on the contrary, present their precipitous decilivities towards the south. Passing swiftly the charming villas nestling amidst a profusion of trees shrubs, and flowers, we began slowly to ascend the bill leading to Gatton, memorable in the days of rotten boroughs. To aid vehicles in the ascent, a stone tram-way has been laid down for a quarter of a mile, similar to the one in the Commercial-road, constructed by Mr Walker, for the conveyance of East India goods from the docks to the City. All the way up this ascent the most striking beauties of natural scenery meet the eye in every direction; on the right Leith Hill, with its commanding column, is raised up far into the sky. The South Downs are visible in the remote distance ; numerous and beautiful hills are thrown up in the foreground, the tops of which are enlivened by the busy mill hurling defiance at the Quixotic spirit of the present age. The new station of the South-Eastern Company in the centre, their old one to the left, are animated by these half living and semi. intelligent engines to vs hich we are indebted for a power of loco motion now become a necessary of life. A small modern structure, in imitation of the Gothic style, points out the spot, well deserving a visit, where, in a deep cave, the Barons of England met in consulta tion prior to their enforcement of the great charter from John at Runnymede. To the right the hills of Kent bound our view. Below is a huge and precipitous hollow, which, on the South Downs, would be called a coombe. Every where the eye takes in long tracks of wood, the re mains of that enormous series of forests which once extended over a large portion of Sussex and Kent, and enabled the latter county to manufacture iron, for which, as well as cloth, it was once celebrated. At the most elerated point of the ridge we were crossing a light bridge, on the suspension principle, spans the road above our head leading from one part of the grounds of the Countess of Warwick 'to another. At Walton we observed four mile-posts, respectively indicating distances of 15,16,17 and 18 miles, all placed within a yard or two of each other, which reminded us of the assertion of a Yankee, that as he was driven very swiftly, he observed what he thought to be a churchyard, from the number of grave-stones ; hut immediately stood corrected on being assured that what he beheld were mile-stones—a demonstrative proof of the swiftness of their course. The lanes we passed through in ,Surrey could scarcely be exceeded in beauty even by the inimitable ones of Sussex. Trees of all kinds—the oak, beeoh, ash, the mountain ash with its bright red clusters of berries, and the accacia with the Australian character of its leaf, seemed to be the combination of unaided nature • whilst the residences of the larger landowners were skirted by brood borders of larch and fir plan tations, which, if not collectively so beautiful, are, however, equally as, profitable to the agricultural eco- nomist. Scarcely a cottage was to be seen unadorned by the rose, the ivy, the dahlia, the honeysuckle, the holly hock, or the sunflower ; the latter enshrined in im mortality by the beautiful language of Moore, and its symbolic illustration of constancy. Before we heard this song, the sunflower had seemed the most unto ward of plants from which to extract a poetic image ; it had been degraded, in our imagination, to the re semblance of a hideous old woman with a greasy nightcap. What charms are there in that uncultivated heath at Walton—nature run wild in the pursuit of beauty ! Here Cupid and Psyche seem to kiss each other. What indescribable tints penetrate the eye! But we must hurry on, for the Grand Stand is in sight, and the Pindaric scene opens on the view with gay streamers floating in the breeze from every stand and tent. How different from the approach to Goodwood ! To the latter we ascend by a kind of giant staircase to the Olympian heights, where walking over the sleeping Titans, stretching their huge lengths along the Southern Downs, we reach the delightful scene of the gods of the race-course. At Epsom the race belong to men, who travel by excursion trains at " an awful sacrifice," and "unparalleled low fares." The Goodwood stand is appropriate for the aristocratic few, Epsom for the oligarchic many. Each side of the Epsom course, for half a mile in length, was lined by tier on tier of men in the sombre habiliments which characterise our country, varied by the occa sional display of the more brilliant dresses of the women. Vehicles of all kinds, men of all grades, and beautiful women crowd to the Downs, just befor.7 , tenanted only by flocks of sheep, whom, if they could not be covered by a sheet as a pack of hounds, were at least covered with the material from which our blankets are made. Popular and rustic amusements, unknown to Goodwood, engage the attention and delight the mixed multitude who flock to Epsom, where the natural darkies and the artificial, in imita tion of semi-savage life, are especial favourites. What an enchanting sight to an Englishman, and especially to a Yorhehireman, from the vicinity of Hambleton Moor, is the stripping of the noble animals who are to contend, as eager for and as delighted in the race as the bipeds for whose particular entertain ment and profit they are brought hither. The round barrel, the broad and deep chest, the small head, the slender neck, the powerful muscles of the hind quar ters, the springy tread of the foot, lighter than gos samer, are all conspicuous, as well as other beautiful adaptations known only to the cognoscenti. In what a profusion of rainbow colours are the riders distin guished, themselves rendered, by training, light and corky, and ready to fly over the moon, if provided with a suitable Pegasus. But no winged steeds of fabulous times are wanting now to import a charm to the brilliancy of the scene which the handicap pre sents, with its valuable stakes, amounting to 8901., for the victor. Ten horses were put through their paces, to incite the crowded betting ring to support their favourites, and to challenge the field. Loud were the bidders against the field, which indicated either that some of the horses were great favourites, or that the mathematical calculus had been brought into operation to educe a large profit out of the long odds. The new Derby course, recently constructed, now gives the spectator from the grand stand a full view of the starting and of th e whole course of the field. For more than half the length of the course all the horses, save one, might have been covered by a sheet. At Tattenham Corner the competitors began to sepa rate a little, skilful jockeyship was called into full play, the power and mettle of each steed was urged to the uttermost, and Kissaway came in first, with the Maid of Masham second, and Mounseer the third, the other seven horses having no place in the estima tion of the judges of the course. For other particulars of the day's races better authorities must be consulted. As regards running, the Derby day itself could not present a richer treat to the true sportsman. The initiative has been given at Epsom by the spirited exertions of Mr. Dorling and his supporters to add autumnal and spring races to the grand summer display; and fresh opportuni ties and inducements have been thereby afforded to the cultivation of the horse-race, in the prosecution of which pursuit " panting nations toil'after us in vain." RTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM AUTUMN MF.ETING. Whatever opinion may be entertained of the policy cf this meeting in the week between Dunerstsr and imaiket, or peshaps of h av i ng an awl.= meeting at no one will withhold from Mr. Dorlir,g the merit of lrg done all that was possible to render it af.ti active -5004 given to one day's racing speak s volumes of his in tentions, and whatever the results may have been in a pecuniary point of view, it will be admitted that on tidy:, as on all previous occasions, he has catered fur the ernusemcnt of the public wall and euccessfully. Th e Brighton Railway DirEctors went hand in hand with him, and we have to record to th, it credit, that instead of raising the fares, as at the summer races (a most objec tionable practice), they reduced them to so low a mark r<F, to make it a question if the traffic was sufficient to cover the sum contributed to the fut_cl and the workirg expenses. That, however, is a question for the share holders—all that we have to do with the matter is to mention the fact as a proof of a dettralinatiou that nothing should be wanting on their part to ensure succe4r, and to add that the unusual, facility thus ariorde d, coupled v.ith fine and seasonable weather, induced hun dreds to have " a day on the Downs," who, had tl:e screw been applied, would have remained at home. In giving the directors credit for their conduct in this te. spect, we feel bound to say that their arrangements were far from being satisfactory—in proof whereof we need only mention that three trains were at the Carshal ton station at the same time; fortunately no accidet t occurred, but so much time was lost by this mismanage ment, that great numbers did not reach the Downs until after the first race was run! The assemblage on the course was much larger than we had anticipated—it embraced a good proportion of the frequenters of " the Cerner," and a few fashionable!. On the whole, however, we fear that the experiment, if it enabled the metropolitans to enjoy a capital day's sport, could not have been other wise than a losing one to its promoters. The racing commenced at half-past one o'clock and terminated a few minutes after six. The Nurmanton Stakes of 10 £OVS. each, 5 ft if dcclartd, &c., with 75 added; optional selling weights.

GREAT TAKE OF PERCH..--OUT Macduff fisher men, having dropped the herring, have betaken them selves to the haddock fishing, in which they have had fair success; but towards the end of last week they have had a fully greater number of perch than of haddocks. The perch is rather a rare fish in this quarter. They are generally got about the close of the herring season; but never during the memory of the oldest fisherman have they been got here in such quantities. On Satur day last every fi.herwoman had u good creelful; and to atundant were they that they sold at about id. a pound; fish weighing two and three pounds selling at 2 ). and 3d.— Busff hire Journal. PORT AND HARBOUR OF CIIESTER.--RIVER A m' :at important inquiry took pace at the Town hail, Chester, during the last week, before two Admiralty Commissioners. The object of the inquiry was to ascer tain how far the River Dee Company had carried out its engagements respecting the maintenance of a depth of water for vessels drawing fifteen feet at high water of a moderate spring tide, in this important and once flourish ing naNigation. It is contended by its opponents, that th 3 company Las embanked large estates from the estuary of the Dee, at the sacrifice of the navigation. The meetings were numerously and respectably attended, and among those present were Sir A. Dalrymple, Mr. Ran kin, and Mr. W. A. Provis, C.E., on the part of the company; Mr. Henry Robertson, C.E., and Mr. Robert Roy, secretary, and Mr. Marten, Parliamentary agent, reprcsentirg the Chester and Shrewsbury Railway Company; and Mr. T. L. Marriott and Mr. Hamilton Fulton, C.E., on the part of the shipping and manufac turing interests. The report of the Admiralty is looked for with much interest by all parties concerned, and the citizens of Chester are sanguine as to the Dee Company heir. , compelled to restore the navigation to its former efficiency. MELANCHOLY EVENT.--.A YOUTH SHOT NEAR ROTHESAY.—On Monday last a party of young gentle men, who were out on a pleasure excursion from Rethesay to Arran, were passing near to the vitrified fort, one of the company, intending to signal another boat that left at the same time, took a gun from the den for the purpose of firing it, when it unaccountably went off, and lodged its fatal contents in the neck of the unfortu nate youth, causing instant death. This painful event has caused considerable emation and sympathy for respected family of the deceased. All w h o knew bite regret the loss of one so promising, and i n a ll res p ec t s so amiable as be is said to have been. H e was a b out , 17 years of age, the eldest son of James H. Semple, Esq, banker, and was on the eve of leaving the parental roof, for a highly-respectable situation in London. We trust this instance of the danger resulting from the injudicious, use of fire-anus will not be lost upon all. It is melan choly to thiek on the loss orso many valuable lives from similar causes, and especially at the licence given to youths to carry fire-arms. It would be an act of hu manity, and spare the anxious fears of many a parent could measures be adopted to prohibit those under 20 years of rge, at least, from handling such deadly and dangerous wcapons.—North British Nail. DUNDMI. HERRING FISHING, SEPT. Is.—After every one believed the fishiag• to be over, and many of the boats had been drawn up for the season, the fish have set in ss abundant as ever, and for the last three days the boats have come in nearly full. The mer chants are purchasing them at three shillings per mu. The shoal is so large, that, had even one-half of the boats which attended this station during the season been present now, there would have been little or no room to work up the fiih. They are young and of excellent quality.— Caledonian Mercury.
