THE QUEEN'S LA V N I I IIT TO 'SCOT- .STOC K AND SON. D'S. STUD. ay last at Meal at f -ndance or el• 1'1" cP de;erret Ptq_gllnvit 0)441 Desssumn.--On Saturday we announced the arrival of her Majesty at Dunkeld, and gave a brief account of the magnificent reception prepared for her by Lord Glenlyon sand the Duchess of Athol. The following are additional particulars : . As est u as seven o'clock on W e d nes d ay morn i ng the tie assembled assembled f r o m a ll parts o f t h e Rini.Yr eztates2 Were aroused_ from their encamp by a discharge of ordnance, and shortly after wards went through the exercises to be observed at the reception of the Royal guest. By 'elev en o ' c l ock all the Highlanders of the diffe renc clans, gathered flora the properties of M'lnroy, of Lude; Mr. Stua r t Al ston, of U rrard and Kila krunky; oge Mr. Sandiman, of Bouskied ; Mr. Butler, of alielly; Mr. Stewart Black, of Ballykelly ; Mr. - s sir, of K en d rogan ; and the men of Tully ? minch (Sir R. Dick's estate), &c., had congregated. Theme was a party of Highlanders under the corn inand of the Duke of Leeds, who headed them as Via ▪ count Dunbl ane , t h e Noble Duke's title in the peerage of Scotland. The Duke of Leeds and the Hon. Captain James Murray, brother of Lord Glenlyori, were in the full garb of their clans, and there were, with the foresters, above 700 men in the beautiful costume of the High lands, which, it is needless to say, contributed highly i; to enhan ce th e li ve li ness of the scene, and render the ensemble truly magnificent. The Queen'S body guard was solely composed of the Athol men, with claymores and targets, number , ing 150 ;- and in addition there was a company of the same clan, of about 100 men, armed with the once f▪ ormidab!e and now effective Lochaber axe. That fine body of men was headed by their chief tain, Lord Glenlyon, and the Hon. Captain Murray and Captain Drummond. tiveT h :!l o a t i h rd er s. Highlanders were headed by their resp e c- With resp ec t t o t h e f ete, a spac i ous marquee, 64 feet long by 20 wid e , was prov id e d , t h e i nter i or of which was lined with scarlet and white draperies tastefully festooned, with corresponding rosettes. It was boarded, and covered completely with crimson cloth. The pillars supporting the open part of the tent com manding a v i ew of the ruins of the ancient cathedral and o the fir- c l a d mountains that form the background choicest the cha rm i ng p i cture, were entwined with the flowers, and otherwise ornamented. At the east end of the pavilion there was an enormous mirror framed with flowers. In the centre was the refresh ment table, l a id out i n a style of elegance in every respect bec om i ng the Royal reception. Gold orna mental plat e w i t h f ruit and flowers was arranged along the tabl e , an d the entertainment was altogether of this, most recher c h e c h aracter. The Master of Strathallan Colonel Hay, and a nu merous party o f t h e neighbouringY gentry, were on the gr oun d s, as also the officersofthe 42d High landers, &c. At the west end of the grounds were the numerous pavilions occup i e d by the Athol men, in frontof Which they were formed in double file. Long b e f ore t h e h our at which the Queen's arrival was W expe c t e d, th e generally quiet town of Dunkeld as full of bu s tl e an d act i v i ty, its limited population being more than trebled by the influx of strangers from all the surrounding villages for many miles around. ..,At ten minutes to one o' c l oc k h er M a j esty and his Royal Highness Pri nce Alb ert, i n one of the Royal carriages, escorte d b y a party of the 6th Dragoons or 'Carbineers, an d f o ll owed by the members of their households and the Duke and Duchess of Buccleush, Earl of Ab er d een, Sir R. Peel, &c., in several car s . ll ages, passed Birnam Wood, so f amous f or i ts con nection with the fate of Macbeth, and passed along s the north road over the Tay. _ The Q ueen an d P r i nce had for some distance be 1-.ore enterin g D un k e ld stood up in their open carriage L order that they might survey the beautiful scenery. The Royal p rogress t h rough Dunkeld was received by all tho se mar k s o f esteem peculiar to an orderly and contented people, an d t h e collected thousands were not back war d i n giving those tokens of l o y a lt y t o a Queen so deserving of their devotion. It was about a quarter past one when the Queen and Prince and the noblemen and ladies in the Royal suite reached the grounds, when a salute of 21 guns was fired from Stanley-hill, and the Royal standard was subsOtuted for our national ensign on the tower of the venerable cathedral. The Highlanders received her Majesty with all honours, the pipers at their head playing a salute. Lord and Lady Glenlyon received her Majesty and Prince Albert, in the absence of the Duchess of Athol, whose advanced age and consequent infirmities precluded all possibility of her Grace doing the duties of hospitality on the auspicious occasion. In the magnificent marquee appropriated for the dejeuner, covers were laid for 34, and at the table were observed her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Lord and Lady Glenlyon, the Duchess of Norfolk, Earl and Countess of Kin , noul and Lady Louisa Hay, Duke and Duchess of I Puccleuch Easl of Ab er d een , Si r R o b ert Peel, Bart., Earl of Liverpool, Earl of Morton, Lord Fred er i c k Pitzclarence, Hon. Captain James Murray, Hon. Miss Paget, Major-General Wemyss, Colonel Bouverie, Mr. George E. Anson, &c. The weather was remarkably propitious for the fete, which passed off with an eclat rarely witnessed in that , part of Scotland. During the Queen's visit her Majesty and Prince Albert passed in review th e Hi g hl an d corps. The Royal tent was lined with the picked men of the Athol elan, and a handsome young man, Alexander Wiser son, of Blair Athol, in the Highland costume, had the honour of being selected by Lord Glenlyon to wait on her Majesty. The Royal visitors remained about two hours, for to t:he Queen and Prince went over the romantic grounds view the sublime and beautiful scenery inwhich the Duches s ' s seat i s em b osomed. _ After expre ss i ng th emse l ves hi g hl y grat i fied with the hospitality of Lord and Lady Glenlyon, the Queen and Prince took their departure amidst the hearty cheers of the lusty Highlanders, the warm and pro longed applause of the spectators, and the roaring of cannon, for Taymouth Castle, the Marquis of Bread albane's princely seat, near Kenmure. The Roy a l route f rom D unkeld was by way of Bat he and Aberfeldy. An escort of cavalry, under the command of Captain Jones, attended the Royal corte ge from Dunkeld half-w a y t o Ab er f e ld y , when they were relieved by a troop under the corn m and of Li eu t. C oc k se d ge. A t A b erfeldy another es cort awaited un d er Li eut. P royse, on w h om d evo l ve d the honour to escort the Queen and Prince to Tay mouth Castle. Her Majesty and Prince Albert reached Taymouth Castle precisely at 20 minutes to 6 o'clock. TAYMOUTH CASTLE. un arri v i ng at Taymouth from Dunkeld, a most animated scene presented itself, the demesne of the Nobl e Marquis being studded with the encampments of not only hi s numerous compan i es of Highlanders, but also those of the 92d Highlanders, now stationed at the Castle to perform the sentry duties during the B °..lourn of her Majesty. At the lawn, fronting the entrance to the Castle, above 300 of the Breadalbane clan, in their Highland dresses, and a numero u s pa r ty of' the Menzies clan, kith the gay tartans of their chieftain, the venerable Sir Niel Menzies, Bart., with his arms proudly em ..ls_lazoned, borne by his standard-b earer , were assem b led, a n d arranged i n double columns in the order th ey Were to re ce iv e th e ill us t r i ous v i s it ors . O n th e la wn a square was made by the boatmen of the Tay, Q 4 Oll1- lan bearing a flag of signals, and in the centre ss _ l. -s a guard of honour of the 92d Highlanders, and file fine band of that regiment in the rear. The remarkably fine body of Highlanders was com manded by the Marquis of Breadalbane in person, noverian babited in a splendid Highland costume of the most costly description. l e Foreig ri v s loe B " • ' lat the -i d sl 1 44 , A vast concourse of persons from all parts of the 3d inst., , 'Ss-ee'llti.`sr had assembled long before the Queen's arrival, Is Deje 39 :ol' s s 4 4 • and t 6 majority were in the national garb, and those d De n es ' r inc e ld who did net adopt that beautiful costume were, with The !: e,y only few exceptions, to be seen with the different plaids aanseuv f isrif of their respective Clans •ht '`l4A.

It will be seen from the subjoined, the different apartments of the castle occupied by her Majesty and Prince Albert, and the distinguished circle staying with the Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane:— THE GLENORCHY TOWER.—Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Norfolk, Lady in Waiting, and the Hon. Miss Matilda Paget, Maid of Honour in Waiting. LowER GALLEays—The Duke and DUcliess of Roxburghe, Duke and Duchess of Buceleuch;• Duchess of Sutherland, Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, Earl and Countess of Kinnoul and Lady Louisa Hay, Earl of Aberdeen, and the Earl of Liverpool. UPPER GALLERY.—The Marquis of Lorn, Lord and Lady Belhaven, Earl of Morton, Sir Robert Peel, Earl of Lauderdale, Sir Anthony Maitland, Right Hon. Fox and Mrs. Maule, Mr. G. E. Anson, Major- General Wemyss, and Col. Bouverie. EAST WING.— Sir John and Lady Elizabeth Pringle and the Misses Pringle, Mr. C. Baillie, and Mr. G. Baillie. At dusk the grounds were brilliantly illuminated by upwards of 50,000 variegated lamps. A sumptuous banquet was given in the evening in the Baron's Hall. Covers were laid for 32. The fol lowing distinguished personages, in addition to the Queen and Prince Albert and the Marquis and Mar chioness, constituted the party : —The Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe, Duchess of Sutherland, Duke and Duchess of Buecleuch, Duchess of Norfolk, Mar quis and Marchioness of Abercorn, Marquis of Lorn, Earl of Aberdeen, Earl of Morton, •Earl of Liverpool, Earl and Co un t ess o f Kinnoul, arl of Lauderdale, Lord and Lady Belhaven, Sir Robert Peel, Sir An thony Maitland, Sir John and Lady Elizabeth Prin gle, Hon. Miss Matilda Paget, Right Hon. Fox and Mrs. Maule, Lady Louisa Hay, Major-General Wemyss, Colonel Bouverie, Mr. G. E. Anson, Sir James Clarke, and Mr. Baillie. The band of the 92d Highlanders performed in an ante-room throughout the banquet, and' the Mar quis's head-piper played a pibroch, and other pieces, alternately with the military band. At halt-past nine the Queen and Prince and the whole of the guests retired from the banquetting hall to the saloons to see the 'fireworks. At a little before ten o'clock a Royal salute was given from the fort, a small party of ,artillery men assisted by sever a l o f th e M arqu i s o f Breadalbane's boatmen, manned the guns—the whole being under the command of Lieut. J. Campbell, R.N. (b.) The battery consisted of two 18spounders and several twelves. The display of fire-works then commenced, the same having been designed by the most eminent pyrotechnist in London, and who fur nished the fireworks for the fete recently given -by the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuchsat their man sion on the Thames, to her Majesty and Prince Albert. It is searcely necessary to say, that the pre sent display, if equalled, was not surpassed ; for the orders given were to spare no cost on the occasion, and the pyrotechnist ably fulfilled his task. Among the most prominent devices was one which, after-va rious fanciful evolutions, at length subsided into a star, with the letters V. and A. ;. another and still more brilliant device 'Was • a large and triumphal arch, which suddenly evolved from a blaze of light, and crowned by " Long Live the Queen," in large letters. This was followed by a battery of rockets and a splendid green light. The fort or pagoda was also suddenly enveloped in a bright red light, which illumined the foliage around, and had a magnificent effect ; on the red light disappearing, a green suc ceeded, which was scarcely less dazzling. This dis play ended about half-past ten o'clock, having lasted for an hour. But the fete did not end here, for immediately af terwards an array of torches were seen, borne by Highlanders, who repaired to a large platform placed in front of the Royal apartments, and which was raised about two feet front the ground. This was to exhibit the Highland dancing, in all its animated and characteristic variety, to her Majesty. The torch bearers surrounded the centre platform, while a clear avenue was preserved in front of the centre windows of the Castle. The piper of his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, the brother-in-law of the Noble Mar quis, commenced the " Rill Thullachan," when four fine Highlanders were seen flying across the platform, which rebounded under their wild and animated agi lity. Immediately afterwards the Queen appeared on the balcony, where a chair was placed, and sat view ing the national dances with evident and delighted curiosity. The Prince,' who wore the Order of the Thistle, stood on the right hand of her Majesty, and Sir. Robert Peel on the left, with the Royal party on either side; the Marquis of Breadalbane appeared nigh the platform giving directions. In order to shed still more light on the scene, several beautiful !sort able lamps were brought from the Castle and placed around the platform. After several dances by the men and the officers of the Highland corps—at last the Honourable Fox Maule, Mr. Menzies of Chest hill, and two other gentlemen, all in the garb, took their places on the platform, and executed a Highland reel with rare spirit. Loud cheers fol lowed, and her Majesty and Prince Albert were seen to express their lively satisfaction. Her Majesty re tired at a quarter past eleven o'clock, followed by Prince Albert, when they were saluted by aloud cheer from the Highlanders and all p resen t. A f ew m i nutes afterwards 'Prince Albert returned to enjoy the dancing, which was kept up for some time longer. His Royal Highness then bowed, and retired amidst renewed acclamations. Thus this unparalleled fete concluded, and all who enjoyed the sight seemed only at fault in one respect, and that was for words to ex press their ardent admiration. Orders were then given to clear the grounds for the night, but a large party remained, and availed themselves of the general invitation of the Marquis to a banquet, which was served up in the breakfast apart ment, the company assembling in the hunting parlour. The follawing account 'of the amusements on Thursday is taken from the Caledonian Mercury. It was intended that the boating excursion along the romantic shores of Loch Tay should take place this day, but owing to the unpropitious state of the weather in the morning, and throughout the forenoon, it was apparent that a postponement would ensue, as it did. In the morning it rained heavily, and as the day advanced there were a few deceitful indications of a change for the better, but the mist still con tinued to envelope the hills, accompanied with a thick drizzling shower. At twelve o'clock, the weather so far cleared, though by no means settled ; but her Majesty, anxious to get abroad, set out on a walk through the grounds in the most private manner, ac companied by the Marchioness of Breadalbane ' • at this time the grounds were kept clear, s o th a t her Majesty might enjoy that privacy which one can well conceive to be so acceptable to a Sovereign ex posed to the incessant gaze of a thOusand eyes, and for which the ardent homage of subjects can scarcely atone—seeing the reverse is a privilege which the poorest enjoy in all its plenitude. Her Majesty visited the dairy of Tavmouth Castle, which is famed in Perthshire for its adnairable arrangements, and is a regular sight among tourists.. So unrestricted and so unpretending was the visit, that the occupants could scarcely believe that it was the Sovereign who was paying this fore noon call. After tasting the milk, and seeing the operation of churning, in a China vase, with silver machinery, which was all obtained in anticipation, her Majesty pursued her walk on the grounds, and reached the Kenmore gate, which is distant about a mile and a half from the Castle. The inhabitants of thiS hamlet, with the many strangers who now over crowded it, were all the while little conscious that her Majesty was so near as to view the village through the bars of the gate. Prince Albert, accompanied by the Marquis of Breadalbane and several other Noblemen, set out as early as 'eight o'clock in the morning to have a day's shooting in the well-stocked preserves of the Noble Marquis on the hill immediately opposite to the Castle. About 150 Highlanders accompanied the Royal party as forresters or deer-beaters, under the direction of Sir Alexander Campbell, Bart., of Bar caldine, and W. Bowie Campbell, Esq. His Royal Highness had of course an ample supply of rifles and fowling pieces, and so complete were the arrange ments, and so active the exertions of the forresters in beating the woods, that in a few hours his Royal Highness, who was the only personage who fired, had killed 19 head of roe deer. The Prince had seve ral stray shots at other game, and killed several brace of grouse ; also woodcock, pheasants, hares, and two capercailzies. As is well known, the N o bl e M arqu i s re-introduced the capercailzies into this country, but, as far as is known, Prince Albert has been the first to tthat to a kill any of the species—t4e same having b een so k st i r ll i cbtliyaotreeoseekrvoend,thtehat Breadalbanethe s rts forbidden tat m e a s ni e s s, i incase tbaikrden for the i ep n ae th r e oa e i x iz e i i e te . mTenhteof Royaltlte s p p a o rr r 3 t : rebteurmoiesd from the battue before two o'clock : Th The H a shono.otFinog p Fox A a l r a ty ule wi i and o r e S p i a r i r e ß d o t b o e Robert Drummond Pee l also formed Hill, immediately behind the Castle, where they met with o•reat success. p front of the Castle, were drawn up in the carriageg fes her Majesty and Prince Albert Att s 7 the Royal luncheon, and about five o'clock, and in a few mint. . guard ofhonour eoin national pose d salute ofth f e r om Campth e. bells and the 92d Regiment bagpipes — th a and receiyed and drawn up. o u e p h . ess Th o e f Sutherland sat opposite to h and Prince Marchioness of I3read alb ti a l a e b r ei f g aiitehsty followed w Albert.

In the centre of this bridge her Majesty halted for several minutes, surveying the magnificent scene to the : westward, where Loch Tay forms the glassy plain between the opposite and wooded hills. Ilere the barges of The Noble Marquis were floating gracefully on the From this point the Royal party drove for a mile b the side of the Lake on an avenue made expressly in anticipation of this visit ; they then entered the road leading to Killin, and returned to Taymouth at half past six o'clock by the - north approach, .having thulS .made a considerable circuit. over the property of the . Noble Marquis. No sooner had her M a j es ty a li g h te d than . the 'weather which had been fair, though not clear for an hour or two previously, again broke. In the evening Mr. Wilson, the celebrated vocalist, who had been engaged expressly for the occasion, sung at, her Majesty's request, "Farewell to Lochaber," ." The Lass o' Gowrie," "The Flowers o' the Forest," " Wae's me for Prince Charlie," " Pibroch - o' Donuil Dhu," and " Cam ye by Athol," with all of which her Majesty was pleased to express herself highly gratified. • The boating excursion is to take place to-morrow (Friday), commencing at an early hour, probably eight o clock, but the officers who are to conduct the barges, and their men, are ordered to be at their sta tions at six o'clock in the morning. In the evening, a grand ball is to take place at the Castle, for which a band of instrumental performers from Edinburgh, under the direction of Mr. Dewar, have arrived. It is fixed, that her Majesty will leave this at an early hour on Saturday for Drummond Castle, and by the route already announced. We have learned, that both the Queen and the Prince have expressed their regret that their sojourn must necessarily be so brief at a Castle which has so many charms. FRIDAY, Six O'CLOCK, A.M.—This is fortunately a beautiful morning for her Majesty's excursion. The people are already assembling around the boats, and the vicinity of the pier, where her Majesty is to embark. BENIO WSK I'S PHRENOTYPICS. MEETING OF MECHANICS. A public meeting of the friends and members of the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton-buildings, convened by the Committee of that Institution, was held last wee k i n th e i r e l egant an d commodious theatre, for the purpose of making known the result of the experience of several members of the Com mittee and others as to the utility of the new system of artificial memory, invented by th e P o li s h e x il e , M a j or Beniou ski, and by him designated " Phrenotypics." The theatre was completely crowded, and the I spacious gallery was filled with ladies, who appeared to take great interest in the proceedings. The Chair man said that the object of the meeting was to con vince the members of the Institution, and the public generally, by absolute experiment, of the great utility and extraordinary powers of the Major's phrenoty pies. Those who had witnessed the learned gentle man's exhibitions of his own mnemonical powers, could have had only one feeling of wonder and admiration, but much doubt existed as to the possibility of similar powers being communicated to others by means of his system or any other. To put this to the test, some of the Committee and others formed a class, and took a course of six lectures from Major Beniowski, with the result of which they were much gratified ; and one of them had founded in the institution a class of twenty, whose progress removed all doubts as to the efficiency of phrenotypics. After the Chairman's ad dress, several members came upon the platform to submit themselves to public examination as to their mnemonical attainments. To one the heads of a speech were dictated, and he repeated them in the or der dictated, and also backwards, after two or three minutes' consideration. This experiment was much ap plauded. The other pupils repeated, in any order, the chronology ofth e "L on d on Encyclopaedia," giving the facts from the dates, or the dates from the facts, with little hesitati on —th e result of a power acquired in six lessons. One gentleman, who had received but four lessons, repeated the whole table of Chemical Equivalents without error, or even hesitation !—a work ordinarily of months of exclusive study, in which, even then, it is rarely mastered with certainty. His and Beniowski's repetition of the whole table of Logarithms, in any order required, may be looked upon as unsurpassed in all the records of mnemonical feats. A gentleman, who said he had had but little time to make a practical application of his lessons, repeated 500 Greek and Latin roots ; and said that he had been able to apply the system to the o r e f c s ol i xl positionse l c e t s i o of ss oo n nesf the .emet ausatrymastered d that succession of 320 l etui n lna o ed t s, e , si sincen with musical thhi es ncaom coursee s and times of the authors. Towards the close of the proceedings a Mr. Grogcan, *ember of the Committee, addressed the meeting in terms of glowing eulogy of the system. He had tried it with his own children, and found that they made more progress in their studies in one hour than they would at school in weeks. If any one who heard him was unable to raise the money for ac quiring the system, he would advise him to pawn his coat for the purpose.—(Laughter and applause ) .:The speeches and examination elicited very great applause throughout.

DONCASTER, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK,— Scott's hor s es arrived this morning ; the lot headed by Attila, were ten in number—viz., Attila, Master Tho Mas, The Artful Dodger, The Ladye of Silverkeld Well, Wil liam le Gros (all in the St. Leger), The Caster, Napier, A mieiine, two year-olds, and All-Fours. Mr. Wrefurd's Monimia colt, does not run for the Champagne Stakes, but will be kept for the 500 Soy. Stakes, for which Napier appears Jikuly to be his only opponent. The betting hitherto has been very dull, and has turned chiefly on the fa vourite, who from 3 to 1, laid oa Friday night and 'yes- terday morning, has advani prices at post time this after teed to 6 to 4 (offers).

DONCASTER, SUNDAY NICHT, 10 O'CLOCK.—The St. Leger betting, without being by any means so brisk as we have known it at t hi s period, has, in the course of the two or three days that the Rooms have been opened, undergone several fluctuations. On Friday evening, and again on Saturday mor ning, 3 to I was laid against Attila; in all to nearly 500/., but the offers to invest told" so effectually on the quotations, that by midnight 2 to 1 was taken freely. Policy rose to 10 to 1, and Fire , away to 8 to 1, taken; Eboracum receded several points, and Master Thomas was backed at 33 - and 40 to 1. Great anxiety was evi nce d for the arrival of Scott's string from Pigburn, and it was increased iu some quar ters by a rumour that Attila would notaccompany it, but would. be vanned in on the morning of the race. Between twelve and one o'clock, however, the lot made its appear ance, headed by All Fours, .Attila second, with eight ethers in their wake, viz., The Artful Dodger, Master Tho Mas, the Ladye of Silverkeld Well, William le Gros (all Legerites), The Caster for the Cham pagne Stakes, Napier for th e Municipal Stakes, Amienne for the Two Year Old Produce, and Baronet. The numbers fell short by five or six of what had been expected. The appearance of Attila had an immediate eff e ct on the odd s ; nor, in fact, beyond bets against Master Thomas at 30, 25, and lastly 20 to 1, to a large amount, and the advance of the Agreeable colt to 10 to 1, was anything of consequence done until night. The Attila p ar ty t h en came ou t in greater strength than ever, insomuch, that at eleven o'clock, at which hour our parcel was made up, no one could offer 6 tos on the field ' with impunity. Cabrera, who met with a slight accident on his journey and was bled, but was sufficiently re covered to show this morning; went back to 25 to 1 ; the same odds were offered against Seahorse, in consequence of a declaration by Colonel Peel that his horse " was a little off, and would not start for the Yorkshire Stakes ;" ergo, as many who had backed him reasoned, that his chance was out for the St. Leger. The following were the general prices at the hour mentioned above : ST. LEGER 6 to 5 agst Attila—taken 10 to 1 agst Agreeable colt 10 to 1 agst Fireaway 11 to 1 agst Policy 14 to 1 agst Rosalind—t. Eboracum not mentioned. Palladium does not rnn. John Day, jun., was engaged t) ride Fireaway, but on Mr. Ferguson stating to him that he had made up his mind no one should know who rode until within two minutes of saddling, and that "he must not be surprised at being taken off his back on the course," he very properly declined having anything to do with him. THE GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP. The betting has been very flat at the following prices: 4 to 1 agst Iliona—taken .5 to I agst Charles NlL—taken 5 to 1 agst Disclosure 8 to 1 agst Pagan—taken 10 to 1 agst Little Wonder—taken 15 to 1 agst Retriever A large field is expected.

LISBON, SEPT. 5.—A measure of great importance is one pr'esented by the Special Committee of the Chamber on wines signed by the chairman, R. F. Magalhaes, and a ll the other members of the Com mittee. This measure has been debated two days, and passed "in • generality", on Saturday. The object is to continue the Douro Wine. Company, and. endow it with a sufficient revenue to enable it to discharge - the functions assigned to it, giving it con siderable control over the wine trade, but no exclusive monopoly of brandy as it had before. The Company is to furnish the Government each year with an exact statement of the, quantity and quality of wines produced in each year, according to its best information, in the Douro districts, and the Govern ment will then determine the quantity of wine, ap proved as of first quality, which may be exported to European ports within that year, diminishing or in creasing the quantity according to the state of the deposits, and the wants of trade. The Company to divide the quantity of wine ex portable to Europe as of first quality among the farmers, in proportion to the quantity approved of their produce. An annual fair to be held at Regoa in the beginning of February, when the purchasers of wines will manifest all that they have brought for exportation ; the farmers manifesting the remaining unsold stock which they reserve for exportation, and receiving certificates (" guias") of the same. A general examination to be made in all the de posits of wine destined for exportation, by a Commis sion of four persons, respe c ti ve ly named by the Cor poration of Regoa, the Commercial Association of Oporto, the Douro Wine Company, and the Oporto Custom-house, and certificates to be given of the quality of, the stock, which will supersede all certifi cates now existing—this examination to be repeated every year ; the expenses to be paid by the Company. The Company to be obliged, to purchase from the Douro farmers such wines of second and third qua lity as the latter may be disposed to sell them, at the fixed price of 16 milreis per pipe of wine of second quality, and 12 milreis per pipe of wine of third qua lity, commencing from the fair of 1843, and paying for them by instalments of two, four, and six months. If any adulteration of the wine be proved, the obliga tion of the Company to cease ; but if a dispute arise between the Company and the farmer, the wine to be reduced to brandy at the cost of the Company, and paid for at the rate of 100 milreis per pipe of spirit of 10 degrees of Tessa, if the wine were of second, and 80 milreis if of the third quality. The Company to be obliged to continue its trade in wine both abroad and for home consumption, without any privilege or distinction over the merchants. It will send samples to the principal marketa of Europe, the English colonies, &c., and have a deposit in Rio de Janeiro, for sale both by wholesale and retail ; and may be called on by the Government to establish the same in any other foreign countries. The Company is charged with preventing the adulteration of the wines exported from Oporto. To compensate the Company for these various charges and obligations, it is to be endowed with the sum of 1,200 rein (ss. 6d.) on each pipe of wine con sumed in Oporto and Villa Nova de Gaia, and six mil reis (1/. 75.) on each pipe of wine exported from Oporto to European ports; these sums being deducted from the existing duties. The Government guarantees the Company a revenue of 150 contos per annum, under these heads, the Oporto Custom-house to make up any deficiency that may may arise. The Company to increase its funds by new shares, or by loans, at its discretion ; and any shares or inte rest that foreigners may hold in it to be guaranteed both in peace and in war. The shares, &c., to enjoy the same privileges and exemptions as those of the Bank of Lisbon and Board of Public Credit. The Company may divide 8 per cent. per annum amongst its shareholders, arid any surplus to form a reserved fund. The Company to prove to the Government that it has funds sufficient to fulfil the obligations imposed upon it, and to present its regulations for approval of the Government; and if this be not done within two months, the Government is charged to organise an association of capitalists to carry the same object into effect. Other articles provide for the winding up of the affairs of the Company when its duration, as fixed by the law of 1838, will expire ; after paying off loans, shares, &c., with interest, the residue to be applied by the Government to making and repairing roads, and other means of communication. Baron Tojal, having succeeded in obtaining the necessary sum from the Bank, was able to pay the bills due on the Ist Sept., on account of British private claims, amounting to 150 contos. The instalments due to the officers who served in the Peninsular war have not yet been paid.

On the 28th ult., the flobregat broke its banks, and overflowed the plain of Molins del Rey as far as Martorell, washing away mills, manufactories, and houses, and destroying the canal of irrigation. The village of St. Juan d'Espe is partly submerged, and many cattle and dead stock, with furniture ' &c., were carried by the torrent by St. F e li n d e Llobregat. Fifty of the inhabitants are missing. Some fishermen found at the mouth of the river a cradle floating with an infant in it, well and fast asleep. At Caldas de Monbuy there were great disasters. At Massanet many houses and buildings were destroyed, and some of the peasants droNN ned. In the environs of Tarragona all the crops are lost. A part of the lower town is said to have been washed down. This flood is repre sented to have been much greater than any within the last century. The Journal des Pyrenees-Orientales gives some additional particulars of the inundations of the 24th ult., ut Perpignan and its neighbourhood, from which it would appear that the devastation was far more extensive than was at first imagined. The centre of the storm wifs at Canigon, where a series of water spouts were seen to burst one after the other. The different streams and rivers became suddenly swollen in consequence, and did very considerable damage. The overflowing of the Basse, at Perpignan, laid the greater part of the town under water, and five per sons lost their lives. Two of them were surprised by the rush of the wateis in a cottage near the town, and tried to support each other by standing locked in each other's hold, but the current washed away the building, and carried them away with it. One disappeared immediately, and was drowned, but the other was stopped by a peach-tree which grew in a wide hedge. Although he was seventy years of age, he managed to climb up into its branches, but was again carried away with the tree by the cur rent. He again caught a cherry tree, and continued in it until aid was brought him, some hours after. The fatigue he underwent, however, caused his death two days afterwards. At St. Laurent des Cerdans, a commune situated on an eminence, but near the centre of the disasters, forges and manufactories were utterly destroyed by the violence of the inundation, and a whole grove of chesnut-trees was carried away. At Arles, the Mondoni rose to a great height above its usual level, and at Amelie-les-Bains, the waters of the ravine, where the baths are situated, were higher than was ever known before. The town of Ceret was ex ceedingly damaged, all the property near the river Tech being flooded, and the gardens, fields, and roads being laid bare by the current. A number of dead bodies have been found in this neighbourhood, but the exact amount is not yet ascertained. At Elne every vestige of cultivation was taken away, and loss sus tained to the amount of 200,000 f. The communes of St. Felin d'Avail, Castlemon, and those adjoining, have lost their vines and olive-trees, and been other wise damaged. At Rivesaltes, a young girl was car ried away, and drowned, in the midst of corn, trees, and hedges, carried away by the waters. Altogether the scene is described as both awful and lamentable. We find the following in a statistical work recently published at Berlin:—" The population of the States belonging to the German Customs Union amounted in the year 1837 to 2 6,048,970 souls, and the extent of the Union to 810,975 square miles. The imports of sugar in the same year reached 876,053 quintals, and the exports 30.844 quintals, showing a consumption of 845,209 quintals. In 1838, the imports of the same article were 1,090,805 quintals, and the exports 21,961, the consump tion being 1,068,844 quintals. In 1839, the imports were 1,145,997 quintals, the exports 21,456 quintals, and the consumption 1,124,541 quintals. The consumption for the three years gives an average of Lill). per inhabitant per year. The imports of coffee in 1837 amounted to 531,487 quintals, in 1838 to 567,285 quintals, and in 1839 to 570,294 quintals, and the exports in three years to 40,487, 46,052, and 53,537 quintals, giving an average of imports of 556,355 quintals, and of exports of 46,692 quintals. The author estimates the consumption at 550,000 quintals. The consumption of tea in the Cus tomsaturday e ven i ng sq !, Union is estimated at 2oz. a head per annu m . PRESENTATION or PLATE T O T.

LA W INTELLIG,ENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT; Sept. 12. The Court sat for the first time, this day, after the vacation, and was occupied in hearing applications for bail, of which there were twenty-eight town and eight country cases. IN RE JAMES GREEN. The insolvent in.this case was described as a far mer and carrier. His application to be bailed was opposed by a creditor from Bristol, named Coote, of whom he had puchased several horses. It appeared by the examination of the insolvent, that he had made an assignment of all his property in favour of his son in November, 1841, and that the latter was in possession of the horses he bought from the opposing creditor. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS refused to Allow the insolvent to he liberated on bail until the horses were given up to Mr. Coote. IN RE RICHARD WAKEFIELD. The insolvent, who had carried on an extensive business as cotton printer in Poplar, applied to be liberated upon bail until the day appointed for his final hearing. The amount of debts which appeared in his schedule was 7,8501., of which a large portion wag incurred upon accommodation bills. He attri buted his insolvency to having expended a large sum of money in endeavouring to perfect an invention, which he s tyl e d t h e patent filtering process. Bail having justified in the sum of 1,7001., the in. solvent was liberated. SURREY SESSIONS. (Before Mr. PUCELE, the Chairman, And a Bench of Aairuategirsstrueststn for the count of ) Sessions . y The General Q Surrey commenced yesterday morn i ng at the Sessions House, Horsemonger-lane. The calendar contains the names of 87 prisoners. The grand jury having been sworn, and the Learned Chairman having briefly addres se d them On the na ture of their duties, retired, and shortly afterwards re-entered the Court, having found several true bills. Daniel Ireson, stated in the calendar' to' b e 4,5 years of age, but who looked older, was indicted f or stealing, on the 13th of July last, seven new fir hop poles, the property of Thomas Baker, at Farnh am. The prosecutor is a cultivator of hops, residi ng at Farnham, where he possesses three hop-fields. 4, the month of March last the prosecutor had pureilksed some hop-poles, marked in a peculiar manner with red paint, and having purchased more than he re quired for - immediate. use, he deposited 300 .of them in a hop-ground which he occupied, and which ad joined the cottage of the prisoner. On the morning of Saturday, the 23d of July, the prosecutor's son went to his father's hop -ground, and saw the prisoner with some hop-poles on his back. On seeing the prosecutor's son, the • prisoner made off, and young Baker, seeing foot-marks, tracked them, and came in sight of the prisoner again. He called to the pri soner, who ran away, and Baker lost sight of him in, a piece of wheat. Baker then traced the foot-marks back, and found they led to the heap of poles on his father's ground: He then traced the foot -marks hack again, and found they led t o a h e d ge, under which he found seven poles, which lie identified as his father's property. When he saw the prisoner the second time the prisoner had got rid of the poles which he was carrying when young Baker first saw him. On his cross-examination, young Baker admitted that all the poles sold by the person of Whom his father had purchased them, were marked with red paint, in the same manlier as those belonging to his father. A person named Warner, who was at work in an adjoining field, had seen the prisoner on the morning in question in Mr. Baker's hop-ground, walking towards the heap of poles. Mr. LOCKE addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended that there was no case whatever made out against him, and no proof that the poles found under the hedge were the property of the prosecutor. The CHAIRMAN having sum me d up, The Jury found the prison Not Guilty. KEEPING A DISORDERLY HOITSE.---Ivaae Crick, aged 40, convicted of keeping a disorderly house at Croydon, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and ordered to find sureties for his good behaviour, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 2„31. each. It appeared that he had previously been snmmarily convicted before the Magistrates, and fined al., on which occasion he had promised to abate the nuisance, but had not done so. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) GUILDHALL. William Clements, a boy of about 15 years of age, was placed at the bar ckarged with highway robbery. William Lewis, a respectable-looking little bow, stated that he was passing through Smithfield last night, about eight o'clock, with a friend, when the prisoner and three other boys came up to him, they knocked him down, and severely beat hi m , andforci• bly took a silver ring from his cravat. The prisoner was given into custody, but the other boys escaped. The officer who took the prisoner into custody said that this was a very common occurrence. The father of the prisoner said that the boy WaS a very hardworking boy, and he had not left h ome at the time more than three minutes. Mr. Alderman Hoormt said as his father spok e so well of him he would give the boy another chance, and commit him for a week only. Elizabeth Atkins, a woman very far advanced in pregnancy, was committed to take her trial on twenty one different charges of theft and swindling. MARYLEBONE. Lawrence Tinier, a cab proprietor, was placed at the bar on the following charge Sergeant 34, on the London and Birmingham il a il wav , stated that the defendant drove one of his cabs, which contained a passenger, is at the Euston_ square terminus, and after the fare had alighted he refused to drive off, or to make way for another cab, which was waiting to draw up. He (the witness) caught the reins and took the cab outside, when de fendant got so very violent that he, with the assist.' ance of a brother officer, took him to the station. On the way they passed the cab stand in Seymour street, and defendant called upon the cabmen there to rescue him. Witness was tripped and fell, and but for some of the metropolitan police, who Came up, would have been probably injured. Policeman 88, L. & 8., corroborated last witne&s's statement. Mr. 11 AWLINSON said that this was a very aggra vated case, and fined the defendant 40$. Samuel Hughes was charged with being drunk, and furiously driving along the Edgevvare-road, to the danger of the lieges.
