" Sir,—l have much satisfactien in communicating to you the re /Ault of my experience after repeated trials of Framptou's Plll of health ; and I feel it bie justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have sever found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little ,inconvenience ; I am there fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long 'wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe esially mercantile mein, whether at the desk or on the road, a most —valuable resource ai an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit - to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making Yrampton's PAs more generally known and appreciated.—l am, Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM S3IITII." The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for Bilious and Liver C om p laints, with their many well• known attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression after meals, tdeldiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and 'Zara, Drowsiness, lleartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c.

The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place ; and Instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions a ecomptsnying each box.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other Lkai them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a °L right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes era pt t T the latter.

FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE 1. 7 The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown er black, without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change. While other dyes destroy the hair by their pernicious properties, this liquid promotes its growth, nourishing the roots to the latest period •f life.

Amid the garden's peaceflil shade, At evening's tranquil hour, Cecilia, meditating, strayed, And in her leafy progress stayed, To pluck a beauteous flower. " Fair lady," (quoth the chosen bloom, When taken from its stem) " Those roses have a rich perfume— Why take a tulip from the loom, Instead of one of them ?" Cecilia smiled, and thus addressed The golden-petalled flower:— " Fair bloom, it was thy beauteous crest, Which made me choose thee from the rest, That blossom in the bower. " Flora has butscloth thee e assumethee with ; attire, Which few And 'tie this dress which ranks the higher, However much I may admire The rose's scented bloom." APPLICATION. I heard—and smile not IN hen I say I thought of Moses' Mart, Where fashion's flower., In choice display, Attract admirers, day by day, From many a distant part. This splendid salt, by Moses made, Tias won Cecilia's smile ; She thinks the beauty here displayed, Casts every other in the shade, In point of make and style. Had it not been for M. and Son, She might have passed me by ; But dress like this, excelled by none, Has, like the tulip's beauty, won Cecilia's judging eye. LIST OF PRICES. 11,1• DY MADE.

HOPS.-Our Mayfield correspondent writes thus : The hops are almost a failure iu this parish, and there seems to be no chance of any improvement; they are still infested with vermin and are very black. So come what will as regard s weather to assist them, they will prove almost a failure." Of the harvest generally he says—" Wheat harvest has partially commenced and will become general this week; the crop is very good. The peas are nearly all housed, and prove a good crop. The oats are very good partially. The beans are also good, and they are cutting them; so that if the weather should prove fine through this month, the harvest will be nearly completed."—Brighton Guardian. HOP INTELLIGENCE. Bortoucm, AUGUST 13.—The accounts this morning from the Weald of Kent and Sussex come rather more favourable. In Mid-Kent the mould is making sad havoc in some of the best grounds. The duty is at 75,0001. We have a firm market at last week's prices. MAIDSTONE.—Where the grounds are good, the bines seem to be improving, but the bad grounds are getting worse. The mould is also more seen than talked of, and in many places is increasing. We have seen branches of hops, but in some districts they appear to have ripened prematurely, and not to possess that powerful odour which indicates strength and condition. MEREWORTH, TESTON, WATERINGEURT, &c.—The hops in these parishes have grown considerably within the week, but it is questionable whether they have improved, as regards the ultimate crop, equal to their growth. Where the bine is strong and vigorous, the mould has generally attacked them, and where the bine is weak, there they have not thrown out any branches, and those that are blackened by the vermin have shown their incapacity to produce any crop at all. There is not, taking the appearances collectively, any better account to be given as to the probable produce than there was last week. YALDING.-Our hops in the fair grounds, during the late warm nights, have done wonders, but the others remain incurable. HORSZIONDEN.—In some grounds no improvement can be noticed, and they appear to be irrecoverable ; in others a great change has been effected by the late thunder showers; the bines are growing away luxu riantly, and the burr is coming out fast. We have gardens in the parish that are likely to grow from twelve to fifteen cwt. per acre, but of these there are but few. WEST MALLING.—Some grounds are past doing anything, and others want favourable weather to grow even a few. The mould is appearing in those which looked most promising. EAST MALLING.—There is but little or no improve ment in the blighted grounds, in the lower part of this parish. The upper grounds look somewhat better, with a slight improvement. One large gar den of Mr. Browning's, on the rocks, of nearly forty acres, is looking exceedingly well, fast coming out into hop, and promises a good crop. CRANBROOK.—We have devoted a considerable portion of our leisure during the past week in watch ing the progress of the bine, and in endeavouring to ascertain what probability there exists in this locality of growing a crop. The plantation seems to have assumed three different positions : the good bine, which has been comparatively clean during the summer, and which, perhaps, constitutes one-fourth of the cultivation ; the indifferent, which was black till midsummer, but which has since thrown out a few green shoots, and may comprise half; and the very bad pieces, which the most favourable weather can never rally, and which may be said to constitute the remainder of the plantation. The first of these have made rapid progress; the poles are covered with thick foliage in many places, the pendant flowers already appearing as light festoons, and with every prospect of a luxuriant crop. The next have improved considerably ; the late showers, accompa nied with thunder and lightning, and suc ceeded by very genial weather, are mani festing their salutary effects on the bine. The last, which, as we have before stated, have be come black, and, instead of holding out any hope of improvement, are becoming not less nauseous to the smell than they are unpleasant to the view and unpro fitable to the grower. Such is a brief account of the state of the plant in this parish, and those persons whose long experience justly entitles th e ir o pi n i ons to some weight, and renders them competent to judge of the amount of duty likely to be realised, are most sanguine in their expectations that about eighty thousand pounds may, with a continuation of propi• tious weather, be obtained. GOUDHURST.—The few gardens that have been going on a little favourably, as might be anticipated, in consequence of the few warm nights, are coming very fast into hop. The whole of the blighted grounds are in one sad predicament; their time is gone. HAWKHURST.—The fair took place on Friday last. This fair is celebrated for the transaction of business in the hop trade, and it was as usual well attended by mercantile gentlemen from London. The general report was, that the present duty is thought to be overrated in the borough. There is no improve ment on the whole in this parish. BRENCHLEY.—We cannot quote any general im provement, although there is a little freshness visible in some grounds. The season is too far advanced for t f w ro s m o o th lo e se y ly ou . ng shoots, par usticutolarelxypeacst t a h n e y li b g lice fol lo w IGHTEIAM AND SEAL—Although the weather of the past week has been very favourable, the hops have improved but very little, excepting those grounds which have been but partially blighted, and they are very scarce. ORPINGTON.—Four-fifths of the hop grounds about here will not grow a hop ; what few good hills are left will just be worth picking. EDENBRIDGE.—There is an improvement in the best grounds, but the blighted are nearly at a stand. CANTERBURY.—The grounds here show but little improvement, and the most sanguine estimate does not exceed an average of more than a bag an acre. Some few grounds exhibit a promise, which, with the continuance of the present favourable weather, will, it is hoped, be realised by affording a good sample for the season, while many acres are too far gone to expect a basket to be placed in them. HURSTGREEN.—The hops in this locality are a little improved in some places, while others are worse and past all hope. There are some healthy looking gsbhoroaTnnweiccihmnEetßusoueshaßtrsbesTitlfhgnhisnt ofg a fr e u ro i t s . s the alleys, but they do not ha&c.—Suchve improv e d grounds w i at within in have the n o t last and the vermin that were following up the y oun g shoots and bur have ver y muc h d ecreased ; those re maining present a weakly appearance, and the coming hop is showing health and vigour.

I.3.—The best plantations are improving, but the blighted grounds have a very sombre appearance, and remain in state quo.—Maidstone Gazette. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN LONDON AND PARIS.—The French Government has accorded to Mr. Jac. Brett the authorisation to establish on the coast of France a submarine electric telegraph between Calais and Boulogne, which, crossing the Channel, will go to Dover on the coast of England. The treaty entered into with Hr. Brett guarantees certain advantages to the French Government, and leaves all the expense at the charge of Mr. Brett, assuring him, however, a privilege for ton years in case the experiment should succeed. The works must be terminated by the Ist of Septem ber, 1850, at the latest; but it is probable that they will be finished sooner. The first application of the subma rine electric telegraph, if it should succeed, as from the long examinations which have been made there is every reason to hope, will produce on the relations between France and England results of which it is impossible at present to estimate the importance. Dover, the point at which the submarine telegraph is to join England, is united to London by a direct telegraphic line; the capitals will, therefore, be in this manner in almost in stantaneous communication. A case of hardship from the strained interpretation of an Act of Parliament on the part of a City company has been presented to us, which seems to call for an im mediate remedy. By an Act passed in 1825 the masters of all vessels under GO tons are allo w ed to pilot their own vessels. The tug boats in the Thames are not only under this tonnage, but they are also worked according to the orders of the pilot conducting the ship towed. Insisting, however, upon an Act passed two years later—namely, in 1827, and which provides that none but frc,emen shall he permitted to ply or work as watermen or lightermen, or navigate or cause to be navigated any wherry, lighter, or other craft, on the Thames, the Watermen and Lightermen's Company claim the exclusive command of those boats from Yant lett creek (between Gravesend and the Noro) to Windsor for freemen or apprentices of their body. Hence the proprietors of the tugs are prevented from giving the command to mariners or even persons trained for years in their service, and are compelled to select men whose only qualification may consist in having served an ap prenticeship of seven years to row and work in the river on board a wherry o r li g hter, and who are not examined as to their fitness to pilot any sea-going vessel previously to becoming freemen. A restriction so injurious to the safety of Channel and river navigation could never have been intended, and, indeed, the wording of the Act by which it is enforced will not, in reason, bear such an in terpretation. The fear, however, of contesting the point with a powerful company causes it to be submitted to, and it would, therefore, appear desirable that the matter should be put upon a just footing by some direct mea sure on the part of the Board of Trade. The change of day and night—of the seasons, of flowers and fruits, and wha 'ever else meets us from epoch to epoch, so that we can and should enjoy it; these are the proper springs of earthly life. The more open we aro to these enjoyments, the happier do we feel ourselves; but if the changes in these phenomena roll up and down . before u s w i t h out our ta ki ng i nterest in them, if we are insensible to such beautiful offers, then comes on the greatest evil, the heaviest disease ; we regard life as a disgnsting burdlen.— Eliza Cook's Journal. Mr. Nicoll, the Sheriff elect for London and Mid dlesex, has appointed the Rev Thomas George Patter son Hough, M.A., incumbent of Ham, Surrey, to be his chaplain, and Mr. David Williams Wire, of St. s w ithia's-lane, to be hie Under...sheriff. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES —The only ground on which the policy of the French expedition to Rome has bean defended, even be the Minist( rs of the Republic, is the positive assurance that the restoration of the Pope, as effected by France, would be accompanied by a thorough reform of the abuses which are encrusted on the temporal government of the Papal States. M. de Tocqueville concluded his last speech on this subject by a declaration that he could undertake to say the Pope was prepared to sanction such an arrangement, and that the consequence of the Papal restoration would not be a blind and implacable reaction. The honour of France, the tranquillity of Rome, and the very existence of the Pope as a temporal Sovereign, depend on the fulfilment of these engagements. Un happily, the first acts of the Pontiff betoken the exist ence of a very different spirit, and have at once roused the hostility and the suspicions of the Roman people to such a pitch that a fresh insurrection would immediately have broken out if it had not been for the imposing atti tude of the French army. General Oudinot had prevailed upon Prince Odeschalchi and some other eminent Roman laymen to constitute a species of municipal Govern ment, in concert with the French military authori ties, until such time as he should hand over the govern ment of Rome to the Pope, or to his representatives. These individuals, who :appear to have acted from very patriotic motives, have since received General Oudinot's official thanks for " the enlightened and active service they had given him in the direction of public affairs;" and it is obvious that Pius IX. could not have done better than in entrusting the supreme power to this re spectable municipal body of Roman laymen until his own return to the Quirinal. He has pursued, however, a directly opposite course. The commission which ar • rived in Rome on the 3d of August is a revival of the worst and most contemptible usages of the old Papal ad ministration. A triumvirate of Monsignori, whose names and characters are literally abhorred by the people, has assumed the reins of Government, without a word of practical assurance to the nation, or a word of remonstrance on the part of the French General. Their first measures were of a piece with their proclamation. They instantly removed from office all the persons who had obtained employment since the revolution, and thereby augmented the discon tent of the most formidable and intelligent agents of the Republican party. They rescinded all the laws passed since November, and restored the hateful and clumsy old courts of justice. They appointed a commission of inquiry with undefined powers, and quashed the municipal bodies in the towns to which they ought specially to have looked for support. And they repudiated one-third of the paper currency by a measure which could not fail at such a moment to occa sion excessive irritation and embarrassment. This paper being inconvertible, it was the interest of the Govern ment to maintain its, circulation as long as possible; it was a convenient fiction; and as the value of the Repub lican baiocchi must have eventually declined, that would have been the time to propose the conversion of this cur rency. Coin had disappeared, and there was no remedy for this state of things but to allow the paper to sink to its own level. The unpopularity of such acts as these is, of course, excessive, and if the object of the French be to restore the Pope to power, they could not have ren dered him a greater disservice than by tolerating so fatal , 1 and absurd a comeaencement. We have no doubt that when the Papal Government was attacked in November, 1848, by the murder of M. Rossi and a brutal outrage on the Pope's palace, the better part of the Roman population were disgusted and appalled by such acts of violence. The Government which was then overthrown by Mazzini was the best experiment Rome had witnessed. The Cabinet consisted of able laymen; the Chambers had convoked the best citizens of central Italy; the destruc tion of that form of government was a fatal blow to the cause of the Constitution and of freedom. But, much as that event has been deplored, we can entertain little doubt that if the choice of the Roman people lies only between the two extremes of a complete restora• tion of clerical misgovernment and the evils of a de mocratic Republic, they would prefer the latter. We can conceive nothing more odious than that a power sanctioned by ages, and laying claim to something like a divine authority, should show itself more ar bitrary, implacable, and unjust than the dictators of a revolution ; and if this is to be the con duct of the Court of Rome, we venture to affirm that the most hostile measures of Mazzini and his associates will have proved less fatal to its security and power than the foolish and intolerant actions of its own representatives. The avowed object of France and the Catholic Powers is to give permanence, stability, and independence to the Head of the Church to which they belong; but the states men of those countries must perceive that this object is absolutely unattainable, unless it be possible to promote mutual confidence and union between the Pontiff and the people whom he is to dwell amongst and to govern. If PisuslX. has not sufficient ent iudcpcndonoo of judgment and vigour of character to distinguish the just rights which he may wphold from the gross delusions which have almost buried the Papacy under their ruins, his infatuation will give the deathblow to his power. lie is said to have relied on some miraculous interposition of Providence on his behalf ever since his Hegira or flight to Gaeta, and pos sibly he may impute to the unlooked-for operations of the French Republic a somewhat miraculous and super natural character. But even Popes cannot reign super naturally; they have no charmed lives; and their tem poral power will, like that of other Princes, perish when it is abused. An enthusiastic enemy of the Papal power could perhaps desire no better than to see it restored by means and with accompaniments which show its nature to be incorrigible and its downfal inevitable. We de sire to speak with greater respect of the head of so large a portion of the Christian world, but at the same time we can discover nothing in the present policy and inten tions of the Popo which seems calculated to disappoint the predictions of his bitterest adversaries. CHRONICLE.—The Drury-lane Reform Meeting reported in our paper of Tuesday was a display of popular feeling which, despite the exaggeration of its tone and the manifest extravagance of its professed ob jects, a far-seeing statesman will scarcely regard with supercilous indifference. It would be easy, no doubt, to find matter for criticism in this " first aggregate meet ing" of the now Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association, as well as in the smaller local gatherings which preceded it. Were we to remark, for instance, that the leading speakers (assuming their entire since rity) greatly over-estimate the power of mere agitation as an element in the formatioa of English public opi nion, and that they still more absurdly exaggerate the practical advantages to be derived, even undl r the most favourable circumstances, from organic chances which, according to all recent European experience, have no necessary affinity either to good government or to popu lar liberty, or to economy in public expenditure—and were we further to hint that the whole movement, so far as it has hitherto gone, appears much more likely to answer Mr. Feargus O'Connor's purposes than those of its original promoters —we should probably be only saying what Mr. Cobden himself feels, though he prefers to leave it unsaid. Certainly the curiously lame excuse of the League leader, whom "absence" prevented from " being present"—and who, while dexterously putting in a prospective claim to the command of an " army reserve' "another campaign," contents himself for the present with admiring his "heroical" friends at a distance—is, as we read it, the language of a man who does not more than half like the business, and who wishes to limit his responsibilities for a move , went that has outgrown his controul. We own, how ever, that wo feel no particular interest in the easy, but unprofitable task of exposing faults and flaws that are sufficiently obvious on the surface. We hold it to be incomparably more important that Lord John Russell should not think too little of Drury-lane demonstrations than that the President and Council of the new League should not think too much of themselves and it. We are far more afraid of one mistake of the Premier's than of all the violence of all the agitators; and if we could only assure ourselves that he was carefully studying the signs of the times,we should be more than satisfied to let the new Charter pass off quietly. For our own part, we have no difficulty in at once saying that we regard the present movement as being, to a not inconsiderable ex tent, a genuine one. Without for a moment imagining that any large portion of the classes whose opinion con stitutes " public opinion" are prepared for the wholesale and sweeping changes indicated in the programme of the new League, we quite believe that a conviction both of the safety and the desirableness of further electoral re forms is entertained by a numerous and increasing class; and wo are not at all sure that, if Ministers much longer refuse or neglect to take measures for sati sfying this very legitimate popular wish, it will not eventually a ssume a shape at once embarrassing and formidable. For, say what we will, there is no denying that even the Drury lane agitators are truer, practically speaking, to the spirit of the age and to the genius of the Constitution, than an impassive and immobile Administration. The progressive adaptation and re-adaptation of our political institutions to new circumstances, new feelings, and sew wants; the correction of mischievous anomalies, and the re moval, as opportunity serves, of gross and palpable in equalities; the gradual extension of political franchises to classes of the people mentally qualified for their exer cise, and eagerly solicitous for their enjoyment; in a word, the theory and practice of Progress, are con formable to the spirit of the British people, to the precedents of our constitutional history, and to the temper of the times. No British Minister, therefore, however skilful and conscientious in the discharge of ordinary or extraordinary administrative responsibilities, can bo said to be fit for his office if he knows n o t w h en and how, by " measures from time to time suited to the occasion," to realise the natural and healthy popular demand for the extension and improvement of popular institutions. If, at a period when circumstances have given an unusual stimulus to these progressive and re forming tendencies of the national mind, an d whoa likewise events have smoothed the way to moderate and rational change, by impressing all prudent men with the Conservative efficacy of timely conces sions to popular feeling—if, at such a period, a Minis ter is to content himself, year after year, with mere verbal disclaimers of the " finality" which he obsttnetely practises—and if any league or association, avowing ultra principles and extravagant objects, is left to be the only visible representative and organ of the nation's favourite policy of progress—it is but too probable that we shall one day do iu haste, not only many things that ought to have been done at leisure, but some things that , ought not to be done at all. It needs no particular sagacity to predict, if the only two powers in.the political s a aain r nb e ydl n : p a otoen a lr r i me e y , s theo—bnuot htt t ha h tet e hria,t t o an iso e fmn h hoe a otr n letd d hi , ,en, a tolerably numerous and energetic body of agitators who glpa oat k tffiret n ryc o et w hooafa t t h ot e i i ie r dl ipeoitt,w, eventually: niew:uittihpnood carry the day. Other opportunities will no doubt pre sent themselves for adverting to those particular topics which strike us as more immediately deserving the at tention of a prudently-reforming Administration; and we shall now say little more on this interesting sub ject, than that we earnestly trust that the author of the Reform Act will spend a considerable portion of the present recess, not in preparing philosophical Parliamentary replies to Mr. Hume, Mr. Cobden, and Mr. Feargus O'Connor, but in devising some rational and practical way of meeting an extremely natu ral and perfectly legitimate popular demand. Without, however, undertaking to do any part of Lord John Rus sell's work for him, we may perhaps suggest that the preposterous anomaly of unenfranchised payers of direct taxes to the Crown affords matter for at least one piece of electoral reform, which any statesman of Liberal aspirations and Conservative prudence might, one would think, be only too happy to avail himself of. Nor can we forbear adding, that some of the rather numerous list of East Retfords discovered by the Parliamentary inquiries of last year (not to speak of the vacant Sudbury seats), together with a few of the rising Manchestf rs and Birminghams that have shot up in our manufacturing districts within the last seventeen years, might very ad vantageously be catalogued, without further delay, in a pair of appropriate schedules. Waiving, however, for the present, all detailed discussion of these . and other similar points, let us say that the grand des i deratum io make a beginning of some sort—to break the ice of Finality—to give the country some practical proof that progress is possible without knocking the Constitution all to pieces, and that Conservatism does not mean standing still with folded hands while unreformed abuses, unre dressed grievances, and unappeased discontents are growing at compound interest.

(From the Registrar-General's Return.) The deaths in London during the week ending Saturday, Aug. 11, were 1,909. The mortality is somewhat less than it was in the previous week. The deaths from all causes in the six last weeks were 1,070, 1,369, 1,741, 1,931, 1,967, and 1,909, of which 393, 630, 1,002, 1,173, 1,308, and 1,185 were by diseases of the zymotic class. Small-pox, scarlatina, and hooping cough are comparatively quiescent ; typhus is more fatal than it was. The excess of 901 deaths over the average is due to diarrhcea and cholera, which were fatal to 173 and 823 persons. The deaths from cholera during the six last weeks were 152, 339, 678, 783, 926, and 823. The decrease is gratifying, but is right to observe that the im provement is chiefly confined to West London, Pop lar, St. George, Southwark, Newington, Camberwell, and Lambeth. The deaths from cholera in the two last weeks were 29 and 48 in Wandsworth, 9 and 21 in Pancras, 4 and 14 in Islington, 3 and 10 in Lon don city, 16 and 35 in Bethnal-green, 15 and 35 in St. Giles. The deaths from all causes on the north side the Thames (1,118) were 89 more than the deaths (1,098) of the previous week. The parishes which have not yet been visited must be on their guard. Those in which the epidemic has partially subsided should redouble their precautions. The epidemic of 1832 broke out in three successive cruptinns ; the first commencing in February, was at its maximum in April and subsided ; the second rose rapidly from June to July, and sunk again down to the second week of August ; its course was very much like that pursued by the present epidemic. The deaths returned by the parish clerks in the three weeks from July 17 to August 7, in 1832, were 968, 793, 661 ; which, allowing for the defects in their returns and for increase of popula tion, are equivalent to 2,323, 1,903, 1,586, or 5,812 deaths in 1849, when the deaths registered in the corresponding week were 1,931, 1,967, 1,909, or 5,807 :in the three weeks July '2l to August 11. A third eruption in 1832 broke out at the end of August, and extended to the first weeks of September ; a fourth in 1833. It is satisfactory - to find that the deaths of 819 out of the 823 persons who died last week of cholera are certified. They were seen by qualified medical at tendants. But it is to be feared that the advice was not obtained in time. The accounts of the sudden stoppage of the epidemic by prompt medical treat ment and the house-to-house visitation are perhaps over-coloured. But a mortality as high now as in 1832 should not take place ; it may be prevented by improvements in the treatment, by arresting the pre monitory symptoms, by still earlier attention to the general health. Medical men are called when the people are dying; but it is then too late. If the families of the middle and higher classes were seen at intervals during the epidemic by their medical attendants, and a corps of medical officers employed by the guardians to visit the poor at short intervals, the present epidemic might very probably be cut short, and a third eruption be averted. The precise locality in which almost every victim of cholera lived is given in the present return under each dis trict ; would it not be practicable for the autho rities to have all these and the neighbouring localities inspected ? If this were done and proper precautions taken, the tragedies of Albion terrace, Wandsworth-road, where seventeen persons died in two weeks in ten houses, could scarcely recur. Another case appears this week in the note under Hampstead. In the house No. 6, Albion-terrace, five deaths had been registered—a Wesleyan mi nister's wife, aged 59 ; his mother, 80 ; a widow, 49 ; and two old servants. This is all we learn from the Clapham registrar. The registrar of Hampstead adds that during the week an aged man came with a friend to Hampstead for change of air —breakfasted, dined, went to London to transact business at the Bank of England, and after his return seemed "pretty well." At six o'clock the next morning he felt i 9, had medical advice, bat died in eight hours. This old family,he minister was apparently the last of his for him in seen his mother, wife, and servants die before in Albion-terrace, and could not fly from the poison which he carried in his breast. Such scenes of deso lation could scarcely happen without great negligence on the part of the people themselves and on the part of the authorities. SCREW STEAMING.—Messrs. Maudslay, Sons, and Field, the eminent engineers, made an experimental ex cursion from Blackwell down the Thames on Monday on board the Bosphorus, belonging to the General Screw Steam Shipping Company. There were present to witness the trial Captain W. Houston Stewart, R.N.; Captain Halsted, R.N. Mr. Halstead, Indian army; Mr. Chatfield, head of the School of Naval Ar chitecture, Woolwich; Mr. Humphrey, Chief Engineer; Mr. Smith, Chief of Screw Department, Somerset house; Mr. Dinnen, Inspector of Machinery, afloat ; Mr. Laming, Managing Director of the Company; Cap tain J. Ford, Superintendent ; Mr. Mare, the builder ; and Mr. Jackson. The Bosphorus left Blackwell about one o'clock, and made five runs in Long Reach, the mean rate of which showed a speed of 9.G79 knots per hour, which is considered by the above scientific gentle men the best result ever obtained by a screw-vessel of the same horse power per ton. The Bosphorus was much admired for her symmetry, and the engines worked with the greatest accuracy, without noise ; the vibration could scarcely be felt at any part of the ship. The following particulars will be satisfactory to those interested in the propulsion of ships by the screw : The Bosphorus is 175 feet between the perpendiculars, breadth 25 feet, depth 15 feet, engines 80-horse power, direct toting ; draft of water on trial, forward, 6 feet 8 inches, aft, 9 feet 6 inches; mean draft of water, 8 feet 1 inch; screw, 14 inches above the water ; diameter of screw, 10 feet 6 inches; pitch, 18 feet 6 inches; mean revolutions, 62.2 per minute ; speed of screw, 11.348 knots; slip, 14.7 per cent.; length of engine-room, 30 feet, including stowage for 150 tons of coals.

DOVER, WEDZIESDAY.—This gigantic undertaking, which has been steadily and satisfactorily progressing since its commencement two 3 ears since, was this day visited and inspected by his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The Noble and Gallant Duke arrived at Weimer Castle on Monday, and came over here this morning to preside at a special meeting of the Barbour Commissioners, of whom his Grace, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, is the official head. The fact of the Noble Duke's intended arrival having been made known to the military commandant, Colonel Tylden, R.E., th a t ga ll ant o ffi cer gave di rect i ons that a guard of honour should be in attendance to receive his Grace upon his arrival at the sessions -house, and at eleven o'clock 100 men of the 50th Regiment, with the band and colour of the corps, marched down from the barracks under the command of Brevet Major Long, and took up their station in front of the building. The visitors and townspeople also came out in great numbers to greet the Duke, and the harbour presented a very gay appearance, the fleet of steamers moored therein displaying all the canvas they could muster. Precisely at a quarter to twelve o'clock his Grace's barouche was observed descending the Castle-hill, and at the same moment the heavy booming of artillery firing a salute from the battery on the heights an nounced the approach of the Noble and Gallant Duke. About ten minutes were occupied in the descent of the hill, and at the expiration of that time the Duke's carriage drew up in front of the Harbour Sessions House. His Grace on alighting was received by Colonel Tylden, R.E., the Commandant of the Gar rison; Mr. Jenkinson, Lieut.-Governor of Dover Castle ; Colonel Pettet, of the 50th Regiment ; and several other officers. The Commissioners present to meet the Lord Warden were—Sir E. Dering, Bart., Captain D'Athe, Mr. Plumptre, M.P., Mr. Deedes, M.P., Mr. Hammond, Mr. Passillon, Mr. Jenkinson, and the Mayor of Dover (Mr. Payne). The Noble Duke, having exchanged salutations with the various officers, entered the Sessions House, and the business of the meeting was immediately proceeded with. This consisted chiefly in receiving the reports of Mr. Walker, the engineer, and Mr. Hardwick, the architect to the Harbour Commissioners, as to the state of the works now in progress ; each of which having been read, were respectively approved and adopted. The appointment of registrar to the Commissioners, vacant by the resignation of Mr. G. W. Ledger, was conferred by the Court upon Mr. G. Thompson, of Dover. The Noble Duke having expressed a strong desire to inspect the harbour of refuge, in progress of formation at this port, Mr. Walker, who combines the twofold character of engineer to the Harbour Commissioners, and also to the Government in this great national undertaking, at once volunteered to conduct his Grace over the works. Before proceed ing to describe the Noble and Gallant Duke's visit of inspection, it may be well to remind the reader of the circumstances under which the work itself has been undertaken. The desirability of forming harbours of refuge on our southern coasts has for years past been admitted both within and without the walls of Par liament, and the important recommendation of the Committee who sat upon this subject two or three sessions since, to the effect that five such harbours should be at once commenced, will be freely in the recollection of most of our readers. The localities recommended were, first of all—as most important to the maritime service of the country—Dover, and, after that, Portland, Harwich, and the Channel Islands of Jersey and Alderney. The works of all these are in progress, though none has yet advanced to anything like the degree of completion attained at Dover. The difficulties to be surmounted at the latter port were for some time considered to be almost insur mountable, owing to' the constant accum j ialtition of shingle in Dover- sy, which it was vew naturally feared would create an obstacle to the freeepassage of vessels of large burden to and from the proposed harbour. The inconvenience arising from this accu mulation has been notorious for years past, and the necessity of landing and embarking in small boats at ebb tides has rendered the' continental passage, via Dover, very objectionable. All the anticipated diffi culties, however, appear to have been surmounted by the engineering c hill of Mr. Walker, and although Only a small portion of the proposed harbour wall is yet finished, the effect already produced is sufficient to show that when complete, this part of the coast, which has heretofore been dreaded by mariners as one of the most dangerous in the Channel, will form a perfectly secure haven. One circumstance we may mention in proof of the correctness of this opinion, and it is this, that since the com mencement of the operations, the shingle which formerly accumulated in the bay has altogether disappeared, in consequence of which the Harbour Commissioners have been enabled to take away a quantity of rock from the mouth of the old harbour and give three feet greater depth of water to vessels entering. The plan of the proposed harbour may be described in brief to consist of the enclosures of about 500 acres of water, extending from about 100 yards west of the old harbour nearly to the South Foreland. That portion of the contract already let consists of a wall or pier running out from the main land 800 feet into the sea. This pier is 63 feet in width, and 29 feet above low-water mark. The west wall consists of 18 feet, and the east wall of 164 feet of solid masonry, Portland and Bratnley Fall stone of the best quality being used in their con struction. The centre is filled up with patent con crete composed of due proportions of shingle, hy draulic lime, and pozolanna (or lava from the burning mountains), obtained at Civita Vecchia, the extraordi nary binding qualities of which, when ground to a fine powder, and moistened with water, have only recently been discovered. The foundation of this wall is laid six feet below low water mark, and the operations for this portion of the work are carried on in three colossal diving bells, the arrangement of which is so perfect that the workmen remain under water for five hours at a time, hewing the rock and fitting in the stones, the least of which, by the terms of the contract, must weigh three tons. The contractors for the execution of the work are Messrs. Henry Lee and Son, of Chiswell-street, who executed the branch of the South-Western Railway from Nine Elms to the Waterloo Station. They com menced work in July, 1847, the contract allowing them seven years for its completion ; but so favour ably have their operations been conducted that at the present moment, two years only having expired, they have already advanced 400 feet into the bed of the ocean. The vastness of the undertaking make s t h e sum total allowed for its completion (230 ,0001.) p only ap pear a very small sum of money, a be realised by the most rigid economy ro t can of arrange ment.ary This is carried out in a very - steam-engine of twelve horse power work s a crane by which a cargo of stone ca n be l anded in less than one-tenth of the time it would occupy were manual labour employed. More than 600 tons of stone have been delivered on to the trucks of the contractor in one week by this engine, which we should mention is also made subservient to the grinding of lime and pozolanna at the same time. One circumstance came to our knowledge yesterday, which will probably occasion some little surprise. Of the advantage of the proposed harbour of refuge to the Harbour Commis sioners there cannot be a doubt ; we were therefore astonished to learn that these very Commissioners levy a toll of 131 d. per ton on all the stone landed for the purposes of the work. We now return to the inspection made by the Lord Warden. His Grace having ascertained that Mr. Walker's presence was required at Inverness on public business to-morrow—a circumstance which would oblige him to leave Dover by the afternoon train, the Noble Duke begged his co-commissioners to excuse his presence shortly before the business of the court had concluded, in order that he might view the harbours of refuge, under the conduct of that gen tleman. At the entrance of the works, Mr. Walker introduced Mr. Lee, the contractor, to the Noble Duke, and then proceeded to explain the progress of the undertaking. The Noble Duke was first shown the process by which the loose shingle is convertedomost into solid blocks equal in strength toth durable stone, with which his Grac e ex p ressed him selfin the much pleased. Walking so m e di stance Grace was enabled direction of the Shaksperecl pier, and to observe cliff, h is to survey the outer walltr of uction. the eturning the the mode of itsc Walkerena p shelter already ob tained ointed out ß the effect to of the inner wall, Mr. t i ne d in producing a perfect calm w i t hi n the circuit of the pier whilea rough sea was runn ing ou tside. T he Noble Duke, on o b serv i ng exclaimed, " Oh, yes; I see—l see—it'll answer this, — I am sure it will. And again, in reference to the sol id wall of masonry presented by the external stonework, his Grace remarked to Mr. Lee that it a ppeared to him to be " very goo d work —very fine workindeed." After traversing the pier for some distance, and entering into conversation with Mr. Walker on the subject, his Grace, addressing that gentleman, said, " I have no objection to all this, Mr. Walker, but (striking his hands together, end speaking emphatically) you must finish it —you must carry it out in a workmanlike manner." Mr. Walker assured the Noble Duke that he would take care of that. Before leaving the works the Noble and Gallant Duke ap pealed to Mr. Iron, the harbour master, as to whether he had any difficulty Mr. Iron replied that culties which formerly diminished since the Government works were begun, and that in his judgment the proposed harbour Lf refuge would prove of immense service to the com • munity. The Noble Duke then left the works and proceeded to inspect the h ar b our o f D , ver itself where the various improvements in progress, n n(1 recently effected, were pointed out to his Grace by Mr. Walker; among the rest the new patent slip for repairing steamers, and the protection wall along the esplanade now in process of erection by Mess;s. Lee, and the new steam dredging machine for deepening the harbour. The Noble Duke having made the circuit of the harbour, with great considerati on in - sisted upon Mr. Walker's proceeding direct to the railway, and after taking leave of that gentleman, Iti;, Grace walked to Birmingham's Ship Motel, and pod a visit to the Lord Chancellor, who, with his family, is at present sojourning at that establishment. The Noble Duke returned to Waliner in the course of the afternoon. MURDER AND SUICIDE AT PECKHAM. Last evening Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Marlborough Arms, South-street, Camber well, on the bodies of Maria Lindsay, aged 22, and Charlotte Lindsay, aged seven months, the illegitimate daughter of the former and a person of the name of Rich, who were found drowned in the basin of the Peckham branch of the Surrey canal, about four o'clock in the morning of Monday last. From the evidence of the various witnesses, it appeared that the deceased had formerly been in the s e r v ice o f a r espectable family on Rye-common ; but, having lost her situation, was employed by a Mrs. Jackson, a laundress in the same neighbourhood ; and about four months since she was engaged by Mr. Jackson to superintend the manage ment of a small general shop, ca ll e d R ose C o ttage, Shearmore-pl ace , Ry e -l ane , hi s son a l so f o ll ow i n g the occupation o f a genera l d ea l er , an d peram bulating a m deceased M ar i a Li n d say, w h o was descr ib e d as being woman, notwithstandin g h er un f ortunate li ason w ith the father of h er c hild, (f rom whom i t appeare d she had never rece i ve d any relief, nor could his well-behaved whereabouts be traced), had gained the esteem of both Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, and the son had conceived so great an affection for her that he bad contributed to the support of her infant, and offered her marriage, believing (as h e sa id i n hi s ev i dence) " she would make a good and indust r i ous w if e ." O n S un d ay l ast a conversation ensued between them relative to the marriage, when he told deceased it might as well take place about next Monday week, and they had better put up the banns at the cheapest place. Some time after this conversation the deceased went out to see some acquaintances in the neighbourhood, leaving her child in bed at home, and did not return for upwards of an hour, when young Jackson remonstrated with her. She replied, " Never mind," and took up the baby, and went out as it was supposed to sup with a friend, but nothing more was heard of her until her body and that of the infant child were taken out of the Canal Basin, near Archer's coal wharf at Peckham. The only important evidence adduced during the inquiry, to show that the dece ase d mus t f o r s o me timehave contemplated the act, was that of Mrs. Cecilia Shergold, who deposed to repeated conversations with the deceased, in which she expressed the distress of mind she experienced at her inability to support her infant, and to find the residence of the father, to compel him to contribute towards its support. About three weeks ago the deceased stated she was determined to destroy herself, and would some day " drown herself and the baby." The witness urged her to acquaint her father and mother with her position, as they were ignorant of her dishonour. She, however, refused to afflict them with the fact, as they held a respectable position in the county of Oxford. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the deceased Maria Lindsay with respect to the deceased Charlotte Lind say, and that the deceased destroyed herself in a fit of temporary insanity. ... NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The dockyard and Vic tory were honoured with a visit of inspection this morn ing from their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklen • burg Strelitz, who were conducted over the establishments by Admiral Sir Bladen Capel, Rear-Admiral Prescott, Captains Blackwood, Yates, &c. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, was docked this morning to ascertain her defects. Her Majesty's steamer Lizard, Lieutenant Hollin wouh, arrived this morning from Rio de Janeiro, after a very stoutly passage. Her crew are all in excellent health. She has brought no specie, nor any invalids or passengers. Her news is not important. She touched at Fayal to coal. On the 11th inst., when 600 miles from the land, sho shipped a heavy sea, which carried away the starboard quarter boat off the davits, broke the starboard paddlewheel, and coming inboard, knocked the man steering over the wheel, and killed him on the spot.

A t ten o ' clock on Tuesday morning their Lordships commenced their labours in the dockyard by a careful examination of the engine house, after which they minutely inspected all the store houses, joiners' shops, mast-houses, mould-lofts, &c.; and at three in the afternoon took water for the purpose of visiting the new steam-yard at Keyham, the cost of which has been the subject of so much discussion in the llouse of Commons. On descending into the Admiral's barge, their Lordships were greeted by a salute of 19 guns from her Majesty's ship Impregnable, 104, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, the yards of which were manned by her fine crew, dressed in white frocks and blue trou sers. At Keyham, the Admiralty flag was hoisted on the top of the engine-house chimney, which is 100 feet high from the base, and has been finished only within the last fortnight, and the union-jack was flying at the office. Their Lordships landed just opposite the entrance dock. The present state of the works of this important and valuable addition to the arsenal is as follows: Keyham works are bounded on the west by Hamosz , , on the south by Moon's Cove, on the east by the turn pike-road leading from Devonport to Saltash, and on the north by the old Keyhem powder-works. The river (Hamoaze) wall is completed, from the south to the north, as tar as the cofferdam will allow; and the Moon's Cove wall, facing Morice-town, is fiuished from the w, st to the east, near the eastern or main entrance in the turnpike-road. The south basin is nearly completed, with the exception of the east wall, and the entrances to the docks. The north dock is progressing with expeJi tion. The entrance between the basins is nearly fiuished, as is the entrance from the north basin to the river. The west and south walls of the north basin are com plete, and nearly all the excavation has been removed. The entrance lock is nearly completed. The etigino house tor pumping the docks is finished; the machinery and boilers have arrived, and will be fixed immediately. The factory buildings and officers' houses have not been commenced; it is expected that the foundations will be laid shortly after April, 1850. There are 800 artificers and labourers now employed by the contractors, Messrs. Baker and Son. The expen diture on these works formerly was 10,0001. per month; it is now reduced to about 5,5001. The careful inspection of the steam-yard concluded the official duty of their Lordships on Tuesday. It probable that the dockyard men will be mustered; and the battalion inspected on Wednesday; and that cn Thursday the Lords of the Admiralty will, in the Blacic Eagle, escort out of the harbour, and proceed some dis tance down Channel, with her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Wise, bound to the Mediterranean. Her Majesty's brig Grecian was taken into dock on Saturday, to be examined and repaired. Her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, was paid wages on Monday. The sails of her Majesty's frigate Nimrod were taken to the dockyard on Monday; her crew commenced dis mantling the same day, were taken out by the evening. She will be paid and all her guns and tanks on Friday.
