Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hairis much stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weokley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle Haley were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perflime itt far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, maim it strong, aid prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. AL Or 111 0 ruing, con' ,he prisoners the wilful idsey, were wgate.

HALF PRE \HEM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the , remiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER-411P POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from mtstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons, approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in connexion with this Company.

We, the undersig - ed, being some of the principal agents to the British College of Heal h for the sale of Mr. Morison's Vegetable Uni versal Med . einc, hereby declare that in 1831 and 1832 the cholera was effectu,lly cured by that medicine when taken in brisk doses, say eight or ten, and upwards, of No. 2, every six hours, followed by the No. 1, and powders. We also now declare our perfect confidence in the pills as a preventative of cholera. Proper vegetable purgat on is in our opinion the only effectual check to diarrhoea, and there fore we are not surprised at the mortality which has occurred under the opium treatment of doctors, which of itself is quite sufficient in many cases to produce d ath without the cholera.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar , " To Mr. Thomas Prout, " 14th June, 1847. "SlR,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in tho afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed ; I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my lifs : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and t!'ey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected lay your ,vonderful medicine, 3 ou are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords is the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box. .

PEAT CHARCOAL AS A DEODORISER. A lecture on the properties of peat charcoal as a deodorising agent was delivered last night in the theatre of the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton buildings, Chancery-lane, by Mr. Jasper Rogers, whose name has been for some time before the public in connexion with this subject. Mr. Shaw, the editor of the Mark-lane Express, was called to the chair. There was a very numerous attendance of auditors, comprising several gentlemen distinguished for their scientific attainments. The lecturer commenced by a description of peat charcoal, as found in the Irish bogs, which, he said, possessed in itself fertilising properties; and in proof of this he related several experiments which had been made of the application of peat charcoal to potatoes, &c., the result of which was a crop double that pro duced where ordinary manure had been used. But it was when used in combination with nightsoil that its peculiar properties became most apparent. It then retained all its own fertilising properties, while it also possessed the power of absorbing, deodorising, and retaining for the purposes of vegetation all the chemical properties of nightsoil ; and the two substances thus combined - formed a manure more valuable than any ever before offered to the world. When put on the land peat charcoal had the power of drawing to itself all the ammonia and salts which every shower of rain brought down; and as it gave out nutriment to the plant, it received a new supply from the atmosphere, thus forming an almost inex haustible reservoir of manure and moisture. He then proceeded to describe its deoderizing effects as applicable to a large city; and in the course of his ob servations he condemned the system both of cesspools and of sewers. His plan would be to have a tank provided for every house, communicating with the water-closet on the one side and the common sewer on the other; the bottom of the tank covered with the peat charcoal, through which the water would percolate into the sewer, while the solid parts would be absorbed and deodorised in the tank, such tank to be emptied at stated intervals. Or, if this should be objected to as involving too much trouble—though he did not see that it would involve more than the present system of emptying the dust•holes of the metropolis—the same principle could be carried out on a large scale by having a street tank, or even one capable of acting as a receptacle for 500 houses. The expense of a house tank would be from 101. to 15/. ; the expense of a street tank would not be more than 7501.; exclusive of the cost of earthen pipes from each house, leading into it; and the value of the manure would repay the cost tenfold. He proposed to apply the same principle to churchyards, as he was satisfied that if the surface of a churchyard was covered for three or four inches with granulated prepared charcoal, and that again with a small quantity of macadamised stones, no odour would penetrate through such a covering. So with regard to the filtration of water, he was satis fied that the present complaints of the citizens might be allayed without the formation of new water com panies, if the water at present obtained was only properly filtered. He proposed to allow the water to rise up through a stratum of charcoal and a sponge, and it would then become like spring water. In fact, that principle of charcoal in the filtration of water had long been known ; the only objection to its ap plication lay in the price. Formerly it could not be obtained under 91. per ton, but since peat had been used, it could be had for from 21. 10s. to 31. per ton. The lecture was illustrated by diagrams of the tanks proposed, and the means by which their con tents were to be removed ; and at the close of the lecture an experiment of the deodorising power of the charcoal was made, by mixing together and passing through a machine two parts of charcoal to one of night soil. Three judges were appointed to test the fairness of the experiment, of whom Sir Charles Aldis was one. The combined matter, after being ground together in the machine, came out a fine granulated powder, which Sir Charles and the other judges declared to be perfectly free from smell—as free, indeed, from any unpleasant odour as the purest earth. The other gentlemen appointed to act as judges concurred in this opinion. After some conversation Sir CHARLES ALDIS moved a resolution, that the experiment had been fairly and openly performed; and that the results justified the predictions and sustained the facts advanced by Mr. Rogers in the course of his lecture. The motion was seconded and unanimously agreed to. Thanks were then voted to Mr. Rogers for the lecture, and to Mr. Shaw for his conduct in the chair, after which the meeting separated. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO LIEUTENANT KINLOCII.— On Wednesday Lieutenant Kinloch, Grenadier Guards, son of Sir David Kinlech, Bart., of Gilmerton, while hunting on the grounds of his relative, Colonel Dundas of Carronhall, Stirlingshire, broke his leg by the stumb ling of his horse. The unfortunate young gentleman was immediately taken to Carronhall, and has suffered severely from the accident, but we are glad to learn that he is gradually recovering.—Caledonian Mercury. The respected Member for East Somerset, William Miles, Esq., has most liberally taken off 10 per cent. from his rents at the last settlement. This is the second reduction which Mr. Miles has made.—Farley's Bristol Journal. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—MarshaI Haynau has much t. answer for—not only to Austria and the house o Hapsburg, but to Europe, whose peace may be fatal]; disturbed, and to the whole civilized world, whit may be indefinitely flung back, by his reckless am wanton disregard of the plainest dictates and corn monest impulses of humanity. When the nee French Republic first rose on the ruins of monarch . ) it was naturally regarded with distrust; but ther. was one of its early acts wl.ich conciliated almos universal sympathy. We allude, of course, to th( abolition of the punishment of death for politica offences. We are not discussing the prudence or pro priety of following the example of the French in this or any other country. We could name offences of the most atrocious stamp—involving murder and rapine in their most appalling forms —which would come under the strict and literal definition of political. But surely it is most indiscreet—to use the mildest forte of expression —immediately after so remarkable manifestation of democratic clemency, to associate the cause of order and legitimacy with images of vindic tiveness. Let us admit that the late insurrection 'es Hungary was attended by circumstances which de manded and justified severity, and that some of the ringleaders, by the aggravated character of their treason, deserved death. Surely the most sedulous precautions should have been taken, by all the Impe rial officers, both civil and military, to establish, be yond the possibility of a cavil, that justice was to be combined with mercy, and that no unnecessary degradation would form part of the punishments in flicted in the name of the Emperor. We say it with deep regret, but it does appear to us, after making every allowance for dramatic exaggeration in th reports, both that the number of executions ordered by Haynau very far exceed the utneest conceivable demands of the emergency, and that the miserable fate of Count Louis Batthyany will excite a thrill of horror, and an irrepressible feeling of indignant sympathy in every quarter of the globe. " Count Louis Batthyany," says the Ost-Deutsche Post, "bad voluntarily surrendered to Prince Windischgratz He was one of the members of the deputation from Pesth that waited upon the Imperial Commander-in Chief, to effect, if pos sible, a peaceable solution of the struggle against Austria. Since then he remained a prisoner, and his name was scarcely ever mentioned. Suddenly it is upon every lip, and the report is spread that Batthyany is sentenced to die upon the gallows. The effect produced by the report was visible in the counte nances of all, and many looked anxiously forward to the morning fixed for the execution; for although the energetic measures of the state of siege set any great demonstration at defiance, still something un usual was expected, either an act of mercy or an act of despair. The morning came, and the dawn broke upon an assembled multitude of many thousands round a gallows erected on the Holz Platz. A rumour suddenly spread through the crowd that Batthyany had attempted suicide in prison. It proved true ; but either the hand of the unhappy man or his energy failed him. , Though he gave himsel. various wounds he did not deprive himself of life ; he, however, escaped the rope. Twelve hours later, at nightfall, he was led out and shot. As yet it is a mystery what influence procured the substitution of powder and lead for the rope. Common report says that the wounds in the Count's neck prevented the rope being used. Batthyany, however, walked, it seems, with a firm step to the place of execution, and before he fell, shouted in a clear voice 'Elfen a haza 1' or, long live my country ! A fearful silence pervaded the multitude at this solemn moment. Some ladies, apparently of the highest classes, endeavoured to steep their handkerchiefs is the blood of the dead man, but were driven back by the guards." Ample details will be found in another column, and we may take an early opportunity of returning to the subject; but we could not refrain from at once expressing our deep regret, unfeigned horror, and extreme alarm at such occurrences, which, we entertain a strong hope, will be disavowed. TIMES. —The citizens of Aberdeen are very bold men, for they have plunged into the most furiously vexed question of modern times. They have sud denly presented themselves in the field as the champions, not only of Sir Robert Peel's measures, but, still more, of his motives. A diploma, written in classic Latinity, records the public vote of these learned Thebans, that Sir Robert has deserved well of his country. Simple men ! Little can they know the consequences of their ill-timed generosity. is it possible that they have never seen the pages where the statesman, his coadjutors, his supporters, and his approvers of every degree are daily gibbeted ? There are columns which are wreathed with festoons every morning, fresh and new. Whatever fruit or flower is uncouth to the eye, clammy to the touch, or nauseous to the taste, contributes to those garlands, while the more prosaic inscriptions with which they are interspered contain all that is not complimentary The demon of free trade, a more potent and more unprincipled character than Satan him self, but embodied in the person of Sir Robert Peel for the special benefit of this unfortunate empire, is the invariable subject of these g'oomy honours. The citizens of Aberdeen will now be added to the hideous category. With Jews, Quakers, and money lenders, they will now be prayed for as insolvents pray for their opposing cre ditors. It is not unknown to many of our readers, on an authority so moderate, so charitable, and so well-informed as to be above all suspicion, that there exists a horrid conspiracy for converting all the phy sical and moral resources of this country into solid gold ; and when our flocks and herds, our corn and our hay, our woods and our fisheries, our industry and institutions, the sinews of the labourer, and the fatness of the soil, have all been turned into sovereigns of the exact standard metal and weight, then to take the mass out of the country and bury it in the wit of our bitterest and most implacable enemies. Sir Robert Peel, assisted by every variety of human baseness, and by every perversion or denial of Christianity, is the author of this truly diabolical scheme ; and to such a man the wretched citizens of Aberdeen have now tendered their adhesion. These honest burghers can hardly know the fearful import of the words they employ to express their infatuated homage. After naming " integrity" among the less undeniable vir tues which have placed Sir Robert in the highest rank of statesmanship, and after singling for special admiration his "efforts to reform our currency, and place it on a solid and permanent basis," the Provost dashes boldly into the thick of the question : "Nor must I omit to refer, though but in a single in stance, to the measures which passed during your last occupancy of public office —measures which, I have no hesitation in saying, have placed the trade of this country in a solid and permanent position, and will be found ever to conduce to the prosperity and happiness of the people. But, whatever be the ultimate result of these measures, there is, there can be, but one opinion as to the purity of your motives in bringing them for ward; and I take leave to assure you, Sir Robert, that your reputation will yet grow brighter and brighter, and your name will go down to future generations encircled with renown." We would not belong to Aberdeen for something this next five years at least. There are hardly ten men south of the Tweed who would venture on so unqua lified an encomium. We in this part of the world handle the question of Sir Robert Peel's political vir tues much as a man might tread on flowing lava, or on the edge of an icy crevasse. Besides the possibi lity of making a slip, the certainty of abuse is by no means agreeable. There is a power in abuse —moral or physical, it matters not much. In the noblest of causes, a man does not like to be incrusted with mis sile dirt. Even a saint would not be tarred and feathered every day of his life. Yet such is the inevitable fate of the man who pronounces for Sir Robert. Judge Lynch guides the pen, smearing the culprit with all that would be odious, and adorning him with all that would be ridiculous. As a matter of business we in England shirk such a visitation. On the personal question the Protectionists have almost a monopoly of the field. They are allowed to con tinue with little interruption an amusement to which they seem to find never-ending pleasure, and which they invest with a superstitious value. Thus the majority of the British people, with the deepest thankfulness for Sir Robert's measures, and the fullest conviction of their necessity, leave his motives to a higher tribunal,—not because they have not an opinion, but because the question is more noisy than profitable. Not PO the citizens of Aber deen. Sir Robert felt the peculiar character of the compliment. To be praised for his industry, his pru dence, his ability, and his perseverance, was only to be told what everybody knows, and what nobody denies. When the Provost mentioned his" integrity," Sir Robert must have experienced a throb of agree able expectation ; but no ordinary man unknowing of the political arena, its competition, and its prizes, can imagine the transport the ex-Premier must have felt at the unwonted vindication of his " motives." On that hint he spake, and the good people of Aberdeen may now boast of having drawn from Sir Robert Peel the most emphatic and touching protestation of political innocence which sympathy could elicit or antipathy extort. " Well, I shall not abuse your generosity. The free dom of your ancient city has been conferred on me by the unanimous vote of the magistrates and council ; and though from this I am not to conclude that every mem ber of that honourable body approvea of °Tory act of ny public life, yet I receive it as an assurance that yoa ,ppreciate the motives, although you may not all are pith me in every measure I have felt it my duty to re. :ommend to the Crown. I take it as an assurance that ;oil believe that I had no other object in view than to ,dvance the public well-being of the country ; and, chile I would not disturb the harmony and good feeling .f this meeting by introducing anything of a controver ial character, I cannot but be conscious of the kindness ou have shown, nor fail to receive your appreciation of ny motives, as a proof that you disregard and deepise ,he calumnies that have been heaped—." rhe remainder of the sentence, we are told, was frowned in cheers. The words were uttered with a warmth which appealed to the generosity of the hearers, and the appeal had effect. Really, as Englishmen, we are alm)st ashamed of our country, ,hat Sir Robert should have to go so far north in vest of a character, and that a canny Scotch city should beat the warm south in the chivalry of political sentiment. The Chief whom so mans abuse, and so many more regard with cold admiration, will cer :ainly take refuge from foes and from friends in Aberdeen. Why are we so backward? We have only one apology. We plead a peculiar feature of the British character. In the high mind of this country, and as regards that greater class of men with whom that- high mind is conversant, there is little praise or blame. We do not call our great statesmen -ither heroes or scoundrels, but assume them to be more practical than the former, and absolutely inca pable of being the latter. So we leave panegyrics to flatterers, and abuse to a class which we forbear from describing. The people of England know that the last great act of Sir Robert's political life was not only wise but necessary ; and that Sir Robert showed some intelligence in seeing that necessity, and some :ourage in providing against it. But as to motives, they are content to let the question alone, excepting ,nly that constant presumption that the motives of a good act cannot be very had. CHRONICLE.—The Wanderer of Vienna pub lishes a case of barbarity, perpetrated by Austrian soldiers on a Hungarian lady, which can scarcely be credited by civilized men. It is one of the most cruel and unmanly outrages recorded in history; and no retribution can be too severe for the wretch who has committed it. As it now stands, it is a stain on the whole nation ; but we trust that Austria will speedily disclaim all sympathy with such crimes, by inflicting the most extreme penalty on the criminal. Its pu nishment ought to be made a point of national honour and morality; and we will not doubt that the Em peror will cause justice, to be done to the unhappy lady, or that he will efface from his country the blot ,)f such a son—else his truest friends must withdraw from him in horror at a concurrence at once unkingly and inhuman. The letter which Madame de Maders bach has written is remarkable for it temperate tone, and for a certain patience of despair far more melancholy than the most vehement complaints. Without parade, without invective, she tells how a detachment of Leichtenstein's Light Horse, commanded by a captain, whose name is not given, entered Rusk berg, where she resided, and in the neighbourhood of which 10,000 Hungarians had surrendered at discre tion two days before. Without charge, and without the form of a trial, or even of an examination, she was suddenly torn from her home, dragged into the :entre of a square formed by the troops, and there, in ;)road daylight, in the presence of the whole popula tion, publicly, cruelly, brutally flogged. Her hus• band, maddened by such atrocities, blew out his brains, and this last tragedy so excited the people that they would have killed the officer, had he not not been too well guarded. We cannot wonder that the husband was unable to survive the indignities in flicted on the mother of his children. It must make the heart of the coldest man burn with indignation merely to picture to himself that scene, as occurring to a woman of any age or class ; and still more so when occurring to a lady so delicately nurtured, and so respected and beloved as Madame de Madersbach appears to have been. The cultivated and delicate- minded gentlewoman exposed to the coarse eyes of vulgar men, her flesh striped and bleeding with the whip, her womanly delicacy outraged, her matronly dig nity insulted, sole and body alike exposed to toiture to gratify one brutal man! This were shame enough to any age or to a savage race, but it is intolerable disgrace to the Europe of the nineteenth century. In truth, there has been too much of this. It is time that the Austrian Government inquired fully, and punished sternly all who have so disgraced the name of their country, and so violated her laws, in order to satisfy universal humanity of their horror and dis gust at such barbarities. We trust soon to hear an emphatic and complete refutation of the charge, or, being found true on investigation, to learn that the Government has awarded the greatest degree of punishment to the cowardly slave who has thus outraged every feeling of manhood and of de cency. Such men are not fit to live. They are weeds that only serve to cumber the ground— poisonous parisites that destroy the best tree. They disgrace humanity, and make honest men blush at their common existence—they give the lie to him who believes in good, and so deform the world that they are unfit to breathe the air of Heaven, for their lives are out of tune with the harmony which God has instituted. The Austrian Government mus' feel the necessity of arresting the course of these atrocities, and of showing, by punishments, its repu diation of such abandoned wretches. One prompt act of this nature would be sufficient to deter others, ,nd would free the Austrian name from such fou blots as else cannot be obliterated by ages. But let us now look to home. An accusation, such as we certainly never expected to be made against an Eng lishman, has been laid before the Emigration Com missioners against the surgeon of an emigrant ship, ealled the Ramilies. He is charged with flogging, by his own hand, four or more female emigrants luring the outward voyage to South Australia. The case has not been full investigated, but it is asserted that four girls—who may have been disorderly and mischievous, and who probably were so—were flogged by the surgeon in the pres ence o f th e cap t a i n ari d two assistants. The backs of the poor women,'.; said, were examined by a respectable matron, who states that she found them scored and wealed with large thick stripes, black and blue, and that " one was bleeding." Granting them to have been troublesome—granting them gu ilty o f ver y gross misconduct—no possible excuse can be offered for a mode of punishment so utterly barbarous and unmanly. Surely there are restrictive and coercive measures for women superior to flogging them by men Surely a strict moral discipline is better than an exercise of brutal force, and a judicious mixture of kindness and authority more effective, as an engine of control, than placing them o n a l eve l w ith d og s and horses, striking them with the whip to teach them reason, and expos ing their persons to teach them modesty and woman liness of demeanour ! The inhumanity of this mode of punishment is so revolting, the indelicacy so shock ing, the preponderance of the lower element of man i so degrading, that we rank this action higher n . the scale of atrocity than a larger legal offence comm itted from the impulse of passion. It is particularly bad, occurring where and how it has occurred. When Goverment has been taking pains to make emigration inviting to the poor, it is excessively annoying that any cruel and unmanly ruffian should have the power to destroy their confidence in the ar rangements made for their welfare, and to make them cling to poverty and wretchedness at home rather than risk exposing themselves to such indigni ties. Women are wanted in the colonies to an extent that leads to unheard-of discomfort and disaster; and the numerical inequality of the sexes is one of the peculiar hardships of an emigrant's life. To entice them out by every kindness and every indulgence, as far as is morally healthful—to make them feel pro tected and cared for, has been the Government en- deavour, and hitherto it has worked tolerably well. A brutal, cowardly act can destroy this endeavour, and four petty individuals damage the best and most humane designs of an Executive. It cannot be that an inquiry will not be instituted into this aff a ir with _ out delay. If the charge be false, it is due to the accused; if true, it is due to the Government, to those poor victims, and to the nation. No accusations of this kind ought to be disregarded. It involves grave consequences —graver even than the mere viola tion of humanity, and it must not be lost sight of till it has been clearly proved or clearly disproved. And, if proved, a commensurate, swift, and unfailing punish ment must be awarded to men who have disgraced the name of Englishmen, degraded themselves below th e rank of savages or brutes, and placed themselves in direct opposition to the wise and beneficent designs of Government. BLAGROVR'S Rooms.—Last evening Mr. Henry Nicholls gave his entertainment here to a highly de lighted auditory. The " reading" for this evening was Shakspere's Othello, and never have we heard it better read, not excepting Mr. Charles ICemble, than it was last evening by Mr. H. Nicholls; there was a purity of style that at once proclaimed the scholar and the gen tleman ; there was no " point making"—all was given with a correctness and beauty which proved to demon stration that " the bard of Avon" was thorougtly under stood and duly appreciated by the talented reader. The Princess Maude sailed yesterday morning at nine o'clock from Dover to Calais, with three carriages and seventy-one passengers , and returned from Calais - at 3 45 r.m., with one carriage and forty-three passengers, including the Grand Duchess of Baden, and suite, wh o left for London by the South-Eastern Railway at Six o'clock. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE BRITANNIA TUBULAR BRIDGE. MENAI STRAITS, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—This afternoon the final lift of the Britannia tube took place at three o'clock, the permanent level of 100 feet above high water mark having been successfully attained on Saturday, when its ultimate elevalon was enthusiastically hailed from all parts of the works with cheers and a succession of salutes. This addi tional hoist of three feet had to be made, and was in. dispensably important to enable the engineers engaged in the operation to join the great tube on to the end, or land tubes, before laying it down on its permanent bed plates and rollers, which will have to be placed beneath it. This process of adjustment will occupy three weeks. It will be matter of surprise, however, to many to be made acquainted with the fact, that in the success ful raising of the one tube to its permanent level one • eighth part only of these colossal labours was accom pli.hed. There are three similar lengths of tube to be floated and lifted, besides four of what are called land tubes, before the stupendous fabric is completed. The one set of tubes, giving a total length of 1,849 feet, will only form the passage for one line of rails across the Straits, and alongside of thes e another set of tubes, exactly similar and parallel, will have to be raised to furnish a double line of rails for the up and down line. The great object at present in view is to get one completed, which, until the second set is ready, will be used both for the up and down trains, the passage of which will be regulated accordingly. To show what has yet to be done, as well as to illustrate the arduousness of the prospective operations, a statement of the approximate dimen sions, and of the gross amount of material to be em ployed in the entire fabric, will be interesting. The total length of these continuous tubes will be 1,849 feet ; the total length of the tubes for both lines of railway, 3,698 feet; the greatest span in the clear, 460 feet ; the height of the tubes in the middle, 30 feet; height at intermediate piers, 27 feet; height at each end, 23 feet; extreme width, 14 feet 8 inches. The number of rivets in the entire bridge is 1,764,000; the amount of iron calculated to be used is in the first land tube, 274 feet long, 450 tons of plates; in the other three, of the same length, 1,350 tons; in the first tube of 472 feet long, 965 tons of plates; in the three others of the same length, 2,895 tons of plates ; making a total, with pier tubes, of 5,778 tons. The total computed weight of angle iron to be employed in them is 1,240 tons, of T iron 856 tons, of rivet iron 6$G tons, of cast-iron in the frames and beams 2,000 tons ; making a total dead weight of 10,570 tons. The total length of the tubes, if placed in a line, would be about three-fifths of a mile. The strength of this great rigid structure con sists in what is called the cellular system, found so effective in resisting lateral and vertical pressure. The plan, as in the tube now raised, consists of a series of cells or pipes at the top and bottom of the tube, ranged in hollow compartments, covered above and below by iron plates rivetted together, and having a parallel direction to the long axis of the tubes. These cells are sufficiently large to admit of the entrance of a man for the purpose of being cleaned and repaired. it was originally proposed to have a double tier of these cells at the top, more effectually to resist the crushing force, but the construction of a single tier was subsequently resolved on as sufficient. These cells have the effect of placing the resistances of com pression and expansion nearly in equilibrium with each other. The utmost tenacity and stiffness is ob tained, with the least possible weight of material, and it is believed that a tube of 1,000 feet span might be constructed with safety upon this cellular system of rigidity and strength. Trains have passed through the smaller scale of tube at Conway for months, without any injury or effect whatever. No motion can be detected by the eye during the passage of a train, and instrumental observations detect a deflection of only the eighth of an inch. It has been found that the effect of a very severe gale from the north-west on the side of the Conway tube, at an angle of about 50 degrees, produced an oscillating motion, which being carefully measured gave a lateral deflection of only 0.23 inch. It is found, moreover, that the enormous weight of the tubes themselves, opposed to the impulse of the wind, is a security against con tinuous oscillation. The effect temperature constantly produced, but in no way injuriously, on these large surfaces of iron, is remarkable. In the afternoon, the sun shining on the top and on one side, the tube is bent in that direction 0.96 inch, or nearly one inch. On comparing the deflections of the morning with those of mid-day, a decrease of 7.10 of an inch was observable, or a rising in the middle of the tube bad taken place to that extent. The result of a change of temperature is an increasing convexity in curvature of the top and bottom sides, to the extent of raising the entire tube 0 71 inch in the middle. A large number of distinguished visitors have been to inspect the tubes and stupendous works during the last few weeks, amongst them their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who spent a considerable time over the tubes, Prince George of Cambridge, Lord Vivian, several of the nobility, and almost every engineer in the kingdom. It is intended by the directors of the Chester and Holyhead Railway to give some cheap excursion trains periodically to the Straits, to enable the middle and humbler classes to visit these noble works of art. Two additional cylinders have been cast for the lifting of the next tube, as a reserve, in the event of the one in work failing. All the preparations are complete for the floating of the next tube, which will take place about the middle of November. The day at present fixed on, should no unforeseen contingency occur, for the completion of one highway and the transit of the first train over the Straits, is the Ist of March next. YORK, NEWCASTLE AND BERWICK. A meeting of shareholders in this company was held at York on Friday to elect a delegate to meet other delegates appointed in different parts of the country to consider and determine on proper persons to be recommended to the general meeting on the 25th inst. for election as directors. Mr. T. Price was called to the chair. Mr. Tnomrsom, of Moat-hall, proposed a resolu tion, which after some discussion was carried, to the etThet that in the opinion of the meeting it was desir able that the committee of investigation should be ex officio members of the committee of delegates, and that this resolution be communicated to both parties. On the motion of Mr. RAMSEY, Mr. Thompson, of Moat-hall, was appointed the delegate. Several points in the fourth report of the committee of investigation were discusssed, which resulted in the expression of an opinion that three managing di rectors should be appointed for this railway; that they should not occupy the chair or vice-chair ; and that the whole board of directors should not consist of less than nine members. It was suggested to the delegate, and strongly urged, that not less than two directors should be appointed for the York district. It was also recommended that no member of any stock-exchange should be elected a director, and that those selected should have a considerable stake in the company. _ _ Mr. Guicd remarked, that if the recommendation of the committee respecting the qualification of direc tors were strictly carried out, it would at once exclude three very valuable members from the board—the Lord Mayor, Mr. Plews, and Mr. N. Wood, the two former as chairmen of other companies, and the latter on account of his connexion with a coke manufactory which afforded considervble traffic to the line. He believed that if Mr. Wood were placed in a hostile position to this company, he would have it in his power to divert traffic to the extent of 40,0001. a year. Mr. TrromrsoN did not see why gentlemen who were chairmen in other companies should be objected to as directors of this company, if the interests of the two companies were identical. He had heard that there were a great number of applicants already for seats at that s board. Mr. Alderman MATHESON understood that there were eighty applicants already, which he thought was in consequence of the high rate of remuneration pro posed by the committee to be given to the directors.` A vote of thanks to the chair man concluded the proceedings. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Vice-Admiral Sir John Louis, Bart., superinten dent of Devonport Dockyard, whose promotion was gazetted on Friday last, shifted his flag on Saturday on board the Agincourt, depot-ship of the ordinary, from red at the mizen t o blue at the fore, under salute from the Agincourt, of 17 guns, and 'from the port admiral's ship, the Impregnable, of 13 guns. gallant Vice Admiral has the usual time namely six weeks, in whi c h to clear out. Devonport has alread y an effective flag-ship. Impregnable, old three-decker,was thoroughly The repaired to mount 78 guns, but her compliment is only 207. The Ganges is ordered to be stored for foreign ser vice, but her destination is not yet published. The Octavia, new 50 gun frigate, in charge of Mr. Henderson, master attendant of Devonport dockyard, left Pembroke last week, but the strong wind from the eastward has prevented her from getting up channel. The Philomel, 8, at Devonport, is to hare` Stirling's metal Eheathing tried on her bottom instead of copper. The Conflict will be taken into No. 5 dook at De- THE WEST INDIES. By the mail brought from Jamaica to New York by the Crescent City, and thence forwarded by the Hibernia to Liverpool, we have received advices from Kingston to the 20th of September, being several days later than the intelligence brought by the 'led way. A correspondent informs us that business was pro ceeding very slowly in the House of As-ernbly. The Retrenchment Bill had, however, been read a first time, and the discussion on its second reading was to take place the day after the Crescent City left. Com pensation was to be given to the judges for the re duction in their salaries. The Chief Justice was to receive 5,000/. compensation, and to have in future 2,000/. per annum; the two Assistant Judges were each to receive 3,000/., and a salary of 1,200/. per annum. The correspondent supposes that the new Bill would be more favourably received by the Council than that of last session. The committee upon the Import Bill had only just commenced its labours. Mr. llislop, lately a revising barrister, and as such disqualified, it is asserted, from sitting in the Assem bly, had taken the oaths and his seat for the district of St. Thomas-in-the• East, on which occasion a most disgraceful scene took place. The weather had been oppressively hot, though much rain had fallen, accompanied by a great deal of thunder and lightning. A good deal of sickness, and especially dysentery, prevailed in the island. The following review of the Jamaica markets is extracted from the supplement to De Cordova's Mer cantile Intelligencer, dated Sept. 19 : Alewives—There are not any at market. Beef—Family has been taken at 465. to 48s. per half barrel. Brandy remains at our last quotations. Bread-50 barrels of New Orleans pilot and 'navy bread hive been sold in equal quantities, at 17s. and 153. Wattson's sells as wanted, at 19s. for pilot bread, and 21s. for crackers. Butter—Small sales of new Irish have been of at 9d., and of old at 7d. per lb. The article is ex tremely dull, and cannot be moved in other than small quantities. Cheese—Double Gloucester has realised Is. par lb. There is not any at market. Codfish—The stock is still large, and there is little consumption. Last sales were made at 9s. 6d. per 1001 b. in casks, and 12s. to 13s. per b ix. The latest cargo is held for 10s. per 100ib. in casks, but there are not any buyers. Coffee—There have not been any transactions, there not being any at market. Flour-800 barrels Philadelphia have changed bands at 355. per barrel. The market is bare. Hams —There have not been any transactions. Herrings—There are not any prime at market. Lard—There is not any at market. A sale of 75 firkins, arrived coastwise, has been made at Bd, per lb. Lumber is dull. White pine, afloat, has realised 80s. per 1,000 feet. Mackerel—Last sales were made at 15s. 6,1. to 16s. 6d. per barrel for No. 3. The market is crowded with inferior, which are being sold at very low prices. Malt is very unsaleable—Barclay, Perkins, aad Co.'s bulk is worth 809, and Lane's Cork 755. per hhd. London bottled ale and porter have been sold at 7s. fid. per dozen. Meal has been taken at 15s. per barrel. Oil— Cod is scarce, and realises 2s. Gd. per gallon. Pimento is looking up. 3J. per lb. has been paid. Pork—Prime moves at 5G and mess at 6Gi. to 633. per barrel. Rice—Sales of East India have been made at 12s. 9.1. per 100113. for yellow, and 14s. per 100 lb. fur white. There is not any demand for Carolina. Rum has been talon at 2s. 3,1. per gallon for proof 21. Salmon—There is not any at market. Soap—ln the fear of legislative disagreements which might affect the tariff, hollers have thought it prudent to reduce their immense stocks. 2,000 boxes of steele's 431 b. have been parted with at 9s. cash, and 1,200 boxes of 601 b. crown have been cleared at 1.55. 150 boxes of Moylan's 601 b. have also been taken at 10s. per box. Sugar may be Laid to be slightly advancing in value. THE WHALE LATELY CAUGHT IN THE THAMES. The whale which was caught in the Thames on Monday week, is likely to be the cause of litigation. On Saturday last, the Lord Mayor, attended by the City Solicitor, proceeded to GraT.s, where the whale lies under IVeeson's lime-wharf, for the purpose of officially asserting his claim to the fish as conservator of the river, and giving it up to the service of the captors upon condition that they would not convey it to London or Gravesend for exhibition, nor allow it to become a nuisance anywhere. Ilis Lordship found, upon approaching the place in which the whale lay, that it was very necessary to insist upon the last I condition, for the stench proceeding from the enor mous mass had already become intolerable. The moment his Lordship announced his intention to give up the prize to those who had had the trouble to enmesh and kill the whale, there started up a number of claimants, at the head of whom was Captain Corbat, of the Rebecca and Elizabeth collier, who, upon seeing the fish moving its enormous bulk through the river, ordered his men into the boat, and pursued and succeeded, with the assistance of some watermen who were near the spot, in getting a rope round it, and completely overpowering it. The Lords of the Admiralty made no demand of the whale as a droit of the Admiralty, having received a serious lesson upon the subject in the year 1809, when they were put to a great expense in defending their claim to a whale which was caught in the river within the limits of the Lord Mayor's jurisdiction, and which was demanded by Sir Charles Flower, the then Lord Mayor, as conservator of the Thames and Medway, and entitled to all royal fish caught within the City's limits. But although there is no disposi tion upon the part of the Lords of the Admiralty to dispute the City's claim, the captors regard each other with no slight animosity, the sum of 1501. havingbeen offered for the body, which contains a vast quantity of oil. They were all advised to refer their claims to the arbitration of Captain Rowland, the principal harbour-master, a gentleman in every respect quali fied to arbitrate in such a case, and several of them expressed their willingness to abide by the harbour master's decision. It is, however, supposed that there are some dissentients to the proposition , and that it is i t s likely the gentlemen of the law wi ll tak enn G ra ys of the whale before the exhibition owt at sixpence a head shall ha v e concluded. If such be no doubt derive the case, the present claimants w ill large division of the profits at the termination advantage of from the proceedings. t he The case of 1809, to which allusionhasbe and been made, was "Ex parte the Ma y or and Commonalty Citizens of London," in respect to their claim to taken,the river caught,and . his royal fishes, and p articularl y whales, Thames. tw r Uponofte oown ccasion, s Leigh, ion a as k a pi i l le n i t d na in m t e h d e river Barnes wascoming up Ih in es d length, drove it int o s h oa l sa w ili h n a g re b 7 o 6 at i h ee e t ob 6 s i e n r c v h e e d s , water, and threw it on th e sand, where he dispatched it with a piece of sharp and a swi ve l. I n thi s enterprise he was assiste iron y db three others, who h e lp e d him to con vey th e whale to Gravesend, where he agreed to sell it to some watermen for 601. Immedi ately afterwards an exhibition of the fish at is. 6d. per head took place, and a description of it was pub lished. The show was however interrupted on the following Wednesday by the unwelcome appearance of the water-bailiff, who walked in to learn who had taken possession of the fish and claimed it, as he un derstood it had been found and caught within the Lord Mayor's jurisdiction. Barnes said he was very sorry he had not known that the whale belonged to his Lordship, as he had sold it and divided the pro ceeds with those who had assisted him in the labour: The fish was seized under these circumstances and brought in a barge to Paul's wharf, but it was not long there when Mr. Crickett, the marshal of the Admiralty, and his deputy appeared, and in the pre sence of the Lord 11ayor and the water-bailiff claimed the whale as a droit of the Admiralty. Proceedings to establish the right to the property of the whale were then commenced, and were carried on until the expenses reached an enormous height, and then concluded in a compromise.
