Ile u il Lice to 4 ISLE OF WIGHT. (Farm A CORRESPONDENT.) From Brighton we started on the 11th inst., at eight in the morning, although certain parties, not weatherwise, attempted to dissuade us from the jour ney- We took our seats in a toupee " back," mean ing back to the engine, with a respectable lading of passengers, adding to their number at Worthing, &ittlehampton, Arundel, and Chichester. The class of persons so conveyed were evidently not singularly remarkable "for delicateness and tenderness." Each Seemed, with coat, cap . e, mackintosh, cloak, shawls, boas, &c to face rude Boreas in a style Worthy of determined a bruiser dealing with an ugly customer. The views from Brighton to Portsmouth presented Pictures of the most exquisite description, framed by the window-sashes through which we, enraptured with their beauty, regarded these scenes. The great roasters of art appeared to us to be children when compared with the masterpieces of nature, worked by the finger of God. Few remains of the harvest being left, the plough had already succeeded to the reaping-hook. The ap proaching Michaelmas and Christmas were indicated 1 .1 tie fl oc k s of bipeds and quadrupeds destined to Immolation at those festivities. The farmyards and their cartilages abounded 'with stacks of grain, the produce of a bounteous harvest. Seats of the no bility and gentry profusely adorned the southern de clivity of the Downs, the sacred edifices standing out as gems scattered over the variegated mantle of nature. Chichester Cathedral especially attracts at tention, its form being ichnographically that of a vreao, and symbolic of the Redeemer's sufferings. The entrance by the nave is termed Gallilee, the tame Gallilean being applied to the followers of Christ in the time of Pilate, and our Saviour being reproached with the proverb, as applicable to his origin, e Can any good thing come out of Gallilee ?" The nave represents the lower portion of the cross Sled in Gallilee ; the transepts correspond with the transverse arms of the cross, through which, as by the bands of Christ, the believer is brought into the church, and whereby access to the interior is usually obtained. The choir is symbolic of the head of Christ. It is the portion of the building wherein all the divine services are almost invariably performed, when 'sufficiency of space exists. To pursue this langua'ge further, we may assume the towers at the extremity of the nave to indicate the feet, the eleva tions at the ends of the transepts to indicate the hands, whilst the central tower or spire may indicate the spear transfixed in the Saviour's side. Turning to the south, different views present themselves. The Sea, with vessels whitening her bosom, forms a broad Margin of beauty, incomparable save only by the ethereal blue of the sky " overarching all," with no cloud to threaten disappointment to the traveller. The enormous inlet of the sea which surrounds Hayling Island was checkered with numerous small C raft, and vessels of larger dimensions were visib'e t reading their white sails to the breeze , agita ted i le/ Ike the feathers of the swan, and destined to receive the offerings of Ceres into the lap of Amphitrite, to be conveyed over the bosom of Neptune's extensive domain. Approaching within a short distance of the Ports- Mouth station a military outwork is passed. Here we not e d the sergeant-engineer expounding to his Reaching the mathematical mysteries of his craft. eteaching the new station, which, like almost all other railway stations, is already too small for the business done there, we passed quickly within the lines of fortification. It may assist the reader to impart a rude notion, better than none at all, of what a fortifi cation is ; for there are few persons now, we should 'lope, who, not having seen a fortification, would answer with the schoolmaster to such inquiry, that a , f ortification was t wo t wen tyfications. Conceive a base nne extending along the margin of the sea, which in this case is presumed to be a right, straight, or direct line, upon this line carry horizontally four more lines, of qual length, so as to form a five-sided figure kyentagon); at the three salient angles nearest to the ra ilway additional works are so added as to enable the Military occupying these works to command in flank the long line from one angle, corner, or outwork, to . I t,nother, in such way, that if troops approached the walls the military, from these outlying corners might direct the fire of the garrison, its usketry and large cannon lengthwise upon the Attacking columns. The effect is intended to be the same as planting cannon at the two ends of a street, so that the soldiers or riotous citizens in the street might, in nautical phraseology, be " raked fore and aft*" The corner works are called bastions, being angular or circular projections from the line consti tuting the pentagon. There are other works, as horns, counterscarps, and what not; and if the traveller be at all fond of military fortifications as a branch of Mathematics, he may have a rich treat in this locality. But time and tide wait for no man ; and the steamer gaily decorated, and what is more important, well laid in with stores, is filling fast with passengers and their private " belly-timber." The circuit of the island is upwards of 60 miles, and the voyage is to last for eight hours. Ryde, with its half. mile long pier and clustered houses on rising ground, is the most conspicuous object, after viewing the marine for tifications which command the entrance to the harbour of Portsmouth, and the first-rate (largest) ships of war, and the naval steamers lying at anchor off the head of the sand, called the " Spit," and, there - fore, Spithead. The curious traveller who desires to see Spithead must go as a diver, admission bei n g re fused to all other modes of approach. Contrary to the Initial course, we are to go south about to visit the back of the island first, and to return in the afternoon northward, by way of the Solent. St. Helen's, Brad lag Harbour, and the Foreland, being passed, the Whiteness of the bluff chalk cliffs gives place to the sandy strata of Sandown Bay. Here the breaks in the rocks, which elsewhere might be called ravines , take the name of chines, very different, from Chines of beef or pork, from which, however, the name is said to be derived. Those of Shanklin and Luccomb being covered with verdure, and the streams f rom the elevated cliffs above coming down in tor tuous courses, making very deep fissures, and leaping as successive cataracts from one point of elevation to another in their descent, at length throw out jets and streams of pellucid water on the ruddy sand, Which, viewed from the sea, look like diamonds sparkling in rainbow colours, and are comparable only to these gems set off in brilliancy and beauty by the fair bosom which beats with sympathy or love. Next, the Undercliff heaves iu Sight. It is evident that at some very remote era there has been a laud-fall nearly the whole length of this southern face of the island. The land undis turbed forms an enormous perpendicular wall, having the appearance of rude masonry, apparently designed to keep off the northern blasts and their conquerors of the east and west. This land is dest itute of trees for miles and is similar in character to t he Bri g hton downs ; not so the fallen land, which, independently of the extraordinary diversity of surface and aspect Which it presents is remarkable for the rich fertili t y of its vegetable kingdom. The dense foliage of the trees, already giving some signs of autumnal tint, and th e beauteous glades, over which the shadows of the trees and of an occasional fleeting cloud passes, make ,the scene almost instin ct with life. The cattle and norses are feeding on the lower lands. The flocks of Sheep grazing on the lofty downs, reaching far into the region of the clouds, contrast with and arid brilliancy to the deep blue of the sky. From amidst some of these masses of foliage an Eliza bethan or a Gothic structure emerges ; one of the latter largely covered with ivy (Steephill Castle) has a supereminently beautiful effect in the combination and contrast of art with nature. Far different is the impression conveyed to us by the modern-looking, mean houses of Ventnor. These hideous structures, Without verdure, stuck in-rude confusion, apparently on e above the other, some with projecting roofs, others with verandas, seemed each to " grin horribly a ghastly smile" at our little steamer, and her merry and delighted, because fully occupied crew. We had passed but a short while the lighthouse, elevated on the most southern point of the island, When, changing our course, we encountered the direct opposition of wind, tide, and current. Here, on a small scale, was a sort of Bay of Biscay, to us new voyagers as remarkable as the larger bay is to those who are compelled to navigate it. Our little steamer contended nobly with her enemies, having one leg (or wheel) almost suspended out of the water, the other being immersed, far above its axle, in the sea ; the action of the rudder to adjust this one-sided motion, and the ground swell of the waves together, Produced that complicated series of motions, the resultant of which is faintly adumbrated by the apothecary in shaking a medicine bottle. The delicate vibration of the stomach necessary for the due simmering of the contents of that animal stew-pan was sensibly affected thereby: An ashy Paleness began to overspread the features of many of the passengers, chiefly of the ladies in the first instance, and presented favourable occasions for offering the delicate attentions to the sex which result in a bucket and mop. The votaries of Ceres, 41 acchu3, and Vesta, that is , t he eaters, drinkers, and s e teokees men as well as women , were soon com p elled by the dread stroke of Neptune's trident to bend before him and contribute to his loud demand for larges s I Few of the passengers could avoid making con tributions. Horace, in his ode to Virgil, says truly, a nd perhaps feelingly— " Ile robur et aes triplex, Circa pectus erat, qui fragilem truci Commisit pt lago ratem Primus.' That is, " the man who for the first time embarks in small stesm-bost off the Isle of Wight, ought to have his stomach lined with treble plates of brass. Slowly, indeed, did we proceed, and well are we initiated into the rudeness of Neptune's embraces. As 8 a railway shareholder in the No r t h Western, B righton and Eastern Counties, we fell a musing on t he lead ing persons to whom we and others 44 entrusted the mAnagement of those concerns. TilE SUN. Oh, Hudson ! Hudson, oh ! Here we rapidly ap proached the Needles, and the lady who had been reclining on our shoulder, which we had recommended as a specific for sea-sickness, and who ought to have inspired us with other emotions than the tergiversation and knavery of railway chairmen, suddenly found it necessary to be escorted to the taffrail to pay her respects to Old Neptune. After securing the lady in the most approved position for her devotional ex ercises, we retreated to our former position, the boat seeming to rise when we expected it to fall, and to slip from under our feet when we thought it about to rise up to them. Even the seamen and stewards,who appeared sometimes to have one leg a foot long and the other a yard in length at the same time,were, nevertheless, obliged to grasp with their hands at any object withi❑ reach. The skipper, in his attempts to gallant a lady, who was not very agreeable a-weather, to the leeward of the vessel, had no light task, and the two cut more capers, stans pede in U7lO, than Taglioni and Vestris ever exhibited in the ballet. All the ladies did, in fact, pay their nautical respects to the Needles. One wag observed that it was remarkable that ladies should have any difficulty in passing the Needles ; to which a medical student added, " that in passing the Needles nothing had been left on the stomach." Before reaching the Needles, the chalk cliffs pre sented, on their projecting faces huge beds or patches of samphire, producing remarkable groups, out of which a lively imagination might compound as many forms as can be seen in the shadows of rocks, or in the glowing embers of the fire: From the tops of the cliffs— " Half-way down, Hangs one that gathers samphire—dreadful trade." His occupation combined also that of catching plovers as they emerged from their nests in the rocks, and robbing them of their eggs. The geologic formation of the Needles—detached masses of chalk-rock—is on this wise. The chalk for mation extending from the eastern to the western extremities of the isle, a promontory of this mineral projects far into the sea westward, and is gradually washed away by the advancing and retreating tides of the ocean until the friable material is undermined in certain places, whilst the more durable portion of chalk rock still lifts its head above the hostile deep. Some of these portions have been reduced, so as to assume a pyramidal shape, nautically termed Needles. The most characteristic of these have been many years submerged, and those that remain appear more like thimbles than needles. Rounding the Needles, we changed our course, and had immediately a smooth sea, a favourable wind, tide, and current. Alum Bay now presented itself in variegated colours, arising from the strata of red and yellow ochres, fuller's earth, black flints, and grey and snowy-white sands. Hurst Castle and Light houses appeared on our left, and Yarmouth on the right, the Southampton water, with its fleet of swift and beautiful yachts on the one hand, and Cowes,with its wooded terraces and villas, on the other. Norris Castle and grounds next appeared, and then Osborne, the marine residence of her Majesty. The addition of two belvederes gives this structure a very imposing appearance, viewed from the direction of Portsmouth, as projected on the sky. Sailing up the harbour, we passed over the iron chains which direct the course of the floating bridge, passing every quarter hour between Portsmouth and Gosport. We approached the ships lying in ordinary ; the gallant Victory, with jury masts, serving for an immense nautical school for the young " mariners of England." The enormous bakehouse at Gosport and the Government yards opposite, where every article required for naval ship-building is manufactured, were passed, and our landing was effected just in time for the starting of the train for Brighton on our return, with spirits enlivened and purified by the magnificent displays we had witnessed of the power and goodness of Almighty God in this most beautiful portion of his sublunary creation. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE AD VANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—Last evening the first general meeting of the association was held at the Town Hall. At half-past eight o'clock the Marquis of Northampton took the chair, and opened the busi ness in a brief address, observing that it was not the first time he had the pleasure of addressing the mem bers of the association. On the present occasion, how ever, it would be unnecessary for him to detain them by any lengthened observations, because he would be followed by a more able man, whom it would be his great pleasure to introduce to them as his successor in the chairmanship of the association—a gentleman whose merits were so well known that it would be unnecessary for him to say more than announce the name of the Rev, T. R. Robinson. The Noble Lord then paid a high compliment to the well-known merits of the Learned Professor, and concluded by introduc ing him to the meeting. Professor ROBINSON then took the chair, and in an address of considerable length set forth the objects and utility of the British Association for the ad vancement of science. Their objects were threefold. First, to promote intercourse between the scientific men of this country and those of all other nations, to give a stronger impulse to science and a more systematic direction to the energies of mechanical science as applicable to the growing wants of the nation. The association had carried out these objects fully and advantageously. On the present occasion they were honoured with the presence of Chevalier Bunsen, a man whose fame was well known, and who had proved that the study of science was not in compatible with the discharge of onerous dutiesito society. But the great and principal utility of the association had been to draw attention to scientific pursuits where it was most required. In no country had it been' more neglected than in Eng lund, and in no place had a greater penalty been paid for ignorance of science than in this country. In England alone the ornaments of science were not rewarded by Government, nor did he complain on the part of these men, who bad been neglected. True lovers of science found in the pur suit of it ample reward for their labours. He, there fore, did not complain of the parsimonious niggardly conduct of Government, which passed unnoticed the services of an Ivory and a Dalton ; but he did com plain of the injury which society had sustained in consequence of the ignorance which had hitherto pre veiled upon scientific subjects. He knew from good au thority that the question had been asked in high places, of what use is science ? Times, however, had changed. No man in authority now would be foolish enough to say so, even were he weak enough to think so. What had not science done, and would not yet do for the sanitary condition of the people of this coun try ? Up to the present time the terrible disease which had scourged other parts of the country, and was carrying destruction around that neighbourhood, had not reached Birmingham ; and why ? Because they had availed themselves of scientific knowledge, and had taken those precautionary measures necessaay for the prevention of disease. Again, had not science conferred immense advantages upon the maritime world, and how much still remained to be done in nautical science ? Was it not a melancholy fact, that three ships were lost daily in consequence of their ignorance of nautical science ? If agricultural science was properly cultivated, the produce of the country might be doubled, and who did not know of the great advantage which had been already derived by the application of scientific knowledge to the manufacture of iron? One million tons of tbat useful metal was added to the manufacture of the country, not to mention the thousands of individuals who derived their daily sub sistence from it. The machinery of the country had also been vastly improved by scientific knowledge. What had not the steam-engine done, that powerful machine, the invention of one of their own immortal townsmen ? At last the application of practical science had found its way into their universities to an extent hitherto unknown, and never before comtemplated. In his own university (Dublin), the sciences of chemistry, electricity, and magnetism, had been in troduced, and now constituted an essential part of the under graduates' course; so that hereafter a man coming out of such an institution, unacquainted with these sciences, would be deemed as deficient in proper education, as a man was now held to be who was ignorant of the common rudiments of arithmetic. Besides the ordinary advantages of science, there were still the more glorious benefits of religious asso ciations arising from it. Who could contemplate the immense works of the great Creator of the uni verse, through the medium of astronomy, without being impelled to recognise in the order of the creation, an all.powerful, an all wise, and all-benifi cent creator—(Applause)—and if they went to the extreme, through the medium of the microscrope, there again they beheld myriads of almost indis cernible creatures formed of life, and for whose wants and comfort every accommodation had been provided. It was, therefore, false to say that science and religion were incompatible. They were not. I n everything created they found the op eration of omni potence, and the man who was not impelled by scien tific knowledge to be a believer, must either have imperfect knowledge, or must have allowed his rea soning powers to be blinded by his passions.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped the result of that meeting would be to extend more largely the bonds of amity between scientific men all over the world. In no place could they more properly have assembled than in the town of Birmingham, surrounded as they were by such a variety of objects, calculated to call forth the intellectual powers of the mind. It was a place of great and varied inventions, and consummate skill in manufactures, and he looked forward with intense pleasure to the forthcoming proceedings. The Learned Professor resumed his chair amidst loud and con tinued applause ; after which Lord timinowny came for ward and moved a vote of thanks to Doctor Robinson, and in doing so highly complimented the Learned Professor on his address. He was sorry to say that the Rev. Gentleman had too firmly fixed upon past Governments in this ootin- try the neglect of science, but he hoped for better times for men who devoted themselves to the pursuit of science. He was glad to find that the Board of Admiralty had issued a manual of instructions for those under them, and from that step he anticipated considerable benefit. The Bishop of OXFORD seconded the vote of thanks, and took occasion to express the great gratification he had experienced in hearing the Rev. Professor Robin son so ably defend scientific pursuits against the charges of irreligion, and show so clearly that it was not incompatible with the divine truths of revelation. He most cordially seconded the resolution, and hoped the address of the Learned Gentleman would be pro ductive of all that good which it was so well calcu lated to produce. The vote of thanks was then passed with acclama- tion. The meeting separated. - This morning, Thursday, the section rooms were opened at eleven o'clock, when the following papers were presented :••••-• SECTION A. -- MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE.—Mr. Ronald's general report of proceed ings at and i❑ relation to the Kew Observatory, during the last year.

INTRAMURAL INTERMBNT.—Yesterdny evening a vestry was held at the school-house, Church-entry, of St. Ann's. Blackfriars, to take into consideration the order of the General Board of Health, dated the 6th of September, prohibiting interments in the burial ground of the parish, and requiring the churchwardens to make the necessary provision for interments elsewhere. The chair was filled by Mr. R. Wheeler, the secior church warden, and the object of the meeting having been explained by him, Mr. Low suggested that the burial-ground should be closed till the com mencement of the new year, after which, if it was neces sary to extend the period, a vestry might be called for the purpose. Mr. Butterfield thought that the order of the Board of Health ought to be adopted, and made a motion to that effect, which being seconded by Mr. Robeson, was carried unanimously. Mr. M‘Lachlan then proposed that a committee be appointed to provide a proper place of interment for the poor of the parish. The Chairman, in speaking to this resolution, stated that the Tower Hamlets and the Nunhead Cemet eries were the nearest which could be made avail able for the burial of their poor. The parish of St. Bride had already come to terms with the directors of the former cemetery, and he thought they ought to do so also. Mr Churchwarden Childs took a similar view, and stated that he would I , ng ago have advocated the closing of the churchyard but for the increased expense of interments at a distance, whieb, by the Act of Parlia ment, fell upon the poor-rates. Mr. M'Lachlan's motion having, after some further discussion, been adopted, it was arranged that the proposed committee should report progress as speedily as possible; and, after the usual vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. POSTPONEMENT OF THE HOP DUTY.—At length Kent is fairly aroused. The white horse of Hengist is again in the ascendant, and the men of Kent are resum ing their prescriptive station in the van, which their an cesters so long and so proudly maintained, and from which they should never have shrunk from one moment. We will not, however, dwell upon the past. The close approximation to the 15th of October has awakened the lukewarm from their lethargy, and all parties are now strongly uniting in one grand effort to obtain a further postponement of the duty. Parish meetings aro being held from one end of the county to the other for the purpose of memorialising the Lords of the Treasury upon the subject, and we feel convinced that as the objects of such meetings are car ried out unanimously, they wit be more effective than meetings of a more pretending description.—Kentish Oeserron LONDON, FR I: DA .Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14 1849 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES. DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.---Tho rain fell so heavily during the whole of the races, that in order to save the last train we were under the necessity of dis patching our parcel without the betting and the remarks on the St. Legg, and trust to the electric telegraph to supply a raurn of the last two races. We now give such particulars as are requisite to complete our account of the day's racing, &c. THE ST. LEGER. CHOLERA AND DIARRHEA. RETURN OF CASES, SErr. 13. THE METROPOLIS.

After a delay of three or four minutes, arising from Honeycomb and Elthiron having broken away, a good start was effected, Saucy Dick taking the lead, followed by Herbert and Vatican, Old Dan Tucker and Thrin garth next, and in the rear Nunnykirk, Honeycomb, the Flying Dutchman, and Elthiron. The latter got into the ruck before they were over the gravel road, at the hill was fifth, and at the mile-post was in advance of Old Dan Tucker. Saucy Dick and Herbert maintained their positions to the Red-house turn, where they were beaten, the running being taken up by Vatican, the Dutchman waiting on him. At the distance the latter deprived Vatican of his lead, was clear of him at the Stand, and won in a canter by two lengths, amidst cheering loud and prolonged, from all parts of the course. Nunnykirk drew towards the leading horses at the turn, caught Vatican at the distance, and beat him for the second place by two lengths; Honeycomb, who came at the last, finishing a bad fourth. Elthiron was fifth, and Old Dan Tucker sixth. Run in 3 min. 20 secs. This is the third St. Leger Lord Eglinton has carried off, his previous successes having been with Blue Bon net in 1842, and with Van Tromp, half-brother of the Flying Dutchman, in 1847. This stake and the Derby has been won three times by the same horse, Surplice having won both last year, and Champion in 1800; Marlow alone has had the good fortune to ride the win ner in both races. The issue of the races is all against the fielders, for which reason there is not much to fear for the settling. Lord Eglinton's friends are " good winners," but the Noble Lord himself had only one bet on the race, having taken 60 to 5 that his horses were first and second. BETTING ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

NINE GENTLEMEN OF NORFCLK WITH DAY AND GRUNDY A great treat was given to the admirers of the noble game of cricket, and others, on the princely domain of the Earl of Leicester, Holkham Hall, Norfolk. On Monday last a first-rate match commenced, finishing on Tuesday evening, between the above-named two parties. The weather being most lovely, a select and numerous party assembled each day, to witness the progress of the play. At the commencement great odds ware in favour of the Marylebone, from their having woa the match so easily at Swaff ham last week, yet the result of the first innings proved how soon judges may be deceived about this uncertain game. The Marylebone went in first, all being out for the very moderate score of 63; but no doubt the absence of the Hon. F. Ponsonby was felt, and was one cause of the falling off in the number, and probably through that the Norfolk Gentlemen gained more to theirs, those Gentlemen making 142, giving them a majority on the first innings of 79. This finished the first day's play. The gentlemen and players were then hospitably entertained at the Hall by Lord Leicester. On Tuesday morning the wickets were again pitched, the game re commencing at half-past eleven by the Marylebone going in for their second innings, the Hon. F. Ponsonby having joined them, who went in first with H. Vigne, Esq.; but they were soon parted, Grundy bowling out the latter-named gentleman without a run; the lion. F. Ponsonby being run out for 6 runs; Colonel Liddell adding none to the score; Dean but 2, when Chester went in and played in first-rate style, being joined by W. Kynaston, Esq. They soon made the score look more respectable; Harana, Esq., also getting a fair innings. But the three last were put out for three round O's, the number gained in their second innings being but 65,censequently the county of Norfolk won in one innings and 14 runs to spare. BIABNLEBONE.
