A more trustworthy and in every respect unexceptionabk witness could not be found than the Hero of Acre with respect to the required reforms in the naval administration of the country. Who more competent to speak of the abuses that have prevailed in the Admiralty than one of the most distinguished officers of the present or of any age, who owes his promotion to his own gallant actions, his indomitable courage, and his thorough knowledge of his profession, and not to any favour or affection on the part of the ruling powers ? Who:better qualified to expose dockyard mismanagement than the person who has made himself completely acquainted with all the details of business, and who has furnished the most successful plans for the construction of steam frigates ? The very :name of Sir CHARLES NAPIER carriesjwith it a weight and influence that must com pel the attention of Parliament to the subject on which he writes. Although justly complaining of the enormous expenditure under which the country groans, that distinguished officer would not in any degree impair the power or lessen the efficiency of " our wooden walls." On the contrary, he has not hesitated to point out clearly and distinctly the existing deficiencies in that most important branch of the national service. He has as readily pointed out the matters in which additional expenditure is required as those in which great reductions might be made. His sole object manifestly is the good of the service of which he is so distinguished a member. For that purpose he comes forward, disregarding equally the censures of those who declare " that our weak points should not be revealed to our adversaries," and of the Board of Admiralty, who will not relish the bold attacks on the gross mismanagement which he has so unsparingly exposed. The constitution of the Board itself naturally forms one of the most prominent grounds of complaint. The anomaly of !placing a civilian, utterly unacquainted with naval affairs, at the head of the Admiralty—of rendering the place of "First Lord" a mere political appointment, without reference to the services or the qualifications of the individual selected, is freely com mented on. How could any business, public or pri vate, be properly conducted if placed under the control of a person utterly ignorant of its details, and unable to form a sound opinion on the matters that may from time to time be submitted to his considera tion ? If any private firm were to pursue a course so ridiculously absurd they would speedily appear in the Gazette, however ample their resources, and the pre siding Commissioner would justly punish the gross fa tuity that wasted the creditors' money. But the Board of Admiralty have the national Exchequer to sport with, and any blunders will be glossed over while a prominent member of the party in power presides over the department. Nor are the subordinate members of the Board selected on a better principle. If the naval lords were chosen merely for their professional qualifications--if a seat at the Board were a prize that might be looked to as the reward of distinguished merit, the blunders and incapacity of the civilian might possibly be neutralized by the efficiency of his associates. But it has long been noto rious that the best qualified and most competent men are not selected for the situation ; that the Admiralty is in fact a mere political machine, the members of which are appointed for their party and Parliamen tary influence, rather than for their professional attainments ; that they are chosen (as the Gallant Admiral states) for their ability to " make a House, keep a House, and cheer the Minister," and not for their capacity to "make a fleet, guide a fleet, and rule the various branches of that complicated service." The choice, in fact, according to the present system, is not merely limited to officers belonging to the Ministerial party, but to those of that party who have been so fortunate as to obtain seats in Parliament and to be tolerably certain of their re-election in the event of new writs being moved for on their accept ance of office. Under a governing body so constituted it may easily be imagined that abuses and jobbing will prevail through all branches of the service. Patronage is one of the chief, if not the principal object of " My Lords"—they must be enabled to reward their con stituents, and advance the interests of their party. Hence the enormous list of officers unemployed, whose services could not possibly ,be required. Hence it is that on the Ist day of January, 1849, we find in the "Navy List" the names of no less than 150 flag-officers, exclusive of 45 retired rear-admirals, of 532 post captains, besides 182 retired captains ; of BG4 commanders, and 351 retired commanders under the different orders of Council of 30th of January, 1816, Ist November, 1830, and 18th May, ( 1846, and of 2,310 lieutenants. The exigencies of the service could never by any possibility require one fourth of these numbers for sctive em ployment; but the Minister of the day, whether Whig or Tory, desires to propitiate his frie n d s b y t h e distribution of patronage, and the country is therefore burdened with an enormous and most unnecessary expenditur e. rT he case is now, however , fairly before the public, and it remains to be seen whether the oppressed tax• payers will sanction the perpetuation of the system, or whether they will join with Sir CHARLES NAPIER in declaring that " First Lords, whoever they may be, must be taught that the promotions in the navy are intended for the public good, and not to be exclusively bestowed on private and political friends." Mr. DISRA.ELI'S speech at Aylesbury, at the recent meeting of the Royal Bucks Agricultural Association, is calculated to afford consolation and encouragement to the agricultural body—consolation under their griev awes ,vilaether real or imaginary,and encouragement in j their endeavours to effect the amelioration of their con dition. It is hardly possible for a man of more than ordinary ability, such as the Hon. Member for Buck inghamshire, to deliver a discourse on any subject whatsoever that shall not contain some reflections worthy of general attention, and calculated to elicit the admiration even of those who do not generally agree with bim. So it was in this instance. The staunchest supporter of the Anti-Corn law League could not possibly withhold his approbation from the sentiments conveyed in the following truly eloquent observations. Although considering the agriculture of England to be the most perfect that ever existed, Mr. DISRAELI thus admitted the possibility of its further improvement :—" That it is possible to improve our present system of cultivation I am not one to deny. I believe that everything may be made the source of improvement, and that the more you im prove the more room there is for further improve ment. I ask you what is improvement but realised intelligence Y And the instant you increase that intel ligence you increase the means of exercising it." Improvement is realised intelligence. This sentence, as beautifully expressed as it is truthfully conceived, is a worthy definition of the age in which we live. The intelligence of the nineteenth century, the de velopment of centuries, is beco m i ng rea li se d aroun d us in improvements of all kinds and cha racter. Improvements in laws and modes of government, otherwise called reforms; improvements in science and mechanical art, better known as in ventions—improvements so various that their enume ration is impossible, are the realities which attend the intelligence of the present day. How dissimilar is our condition, and how superior are our advantages, mental, social, and political, to those of our forefathers some centuries back ! What then ?—are we arrived at the ne plus ultra of progress ? On the contrary. "Improvement is realised intelligence, and the instant you increase that intelligence you increase the means of exercising it." Every improvement leads the way to others. In ancient times man looked upon the water as an insuperable barrier, after a while, however, he hazarded his rude built craft upon its bosom, and found himself enabled to traverse some tiny stream. Did he rest satisfied with that achievement ? Intelligence realised in that instance at once suggested new improvements, and now, in place of one shaky vemel, the ocean is studded with magnificent ships, and when the branch of a tree, slowly paddled on the resisting water, now steam—" unrivalled steam"—annibilates time and space. So it is in all things, and so it must be. The leader of the Protectionists displayed no small amount of tact in thus directing the attention of his agricultural hearers to the subject of present and future improvement, instead of encouraging lamenta tions for the past. However much we differ with the Honourable Gentleman on some important points, our admiration for his undoubted talents make us regard with satisfaction every expression, like the sentence above quoted, which exhibits a wish to en courage and stimulate individual and social exertion. Men of genius are or should be the true leaders of the people. They should animate them to look for ward hopefully and struggle on enduringly— " So to act that each to-morrow Finds them further than to-day." We gladly hail Mr. DISRAELI'S speech at Ayles bury as an omen of future service in so good a cause —a cause which the author of " Sybil" has already so eloquently advocated. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. The Paris journals of yesterday have duly arrived. Conjectures are still rife as to the modification of the Cabinet in consequence of the difficulties of the Roman question. That M. DE FALLOUX'S continuance in the Cabinet is only temporary is certain. Already he has dis continued his attendance at the councils which take place in the Elysii-2. So much, indeed, is acknow ledged even by the Constitutionnel, though that journal attributes the absence of the Minister of Instruction to indisposition. According to the same authority, it is tolerably certain that after. all General RANDON will not be appointed the successor of General ROSTOLAN. The fact of the the former General being a Protestant is regarded as an insuperable difficulty. The Patrie states that, according to dispatches re ceived at the Ministry of the Interior, six of the Councils General have come to a resolution in favour of an early revision of the Constitution. In the number of the Departments which have come to this decision is the Gironde. The Monitsur contains an order from M. BEREN GER, president of the High Court of Justice, fixing the 10th of October for the opening of the trial at Versailles of the persons implicated in the conspi racy of June 13, 1849; also of such persons as are accused of being concerned in the affair of May 15, 1848, but who had not made their appearance at the High Court of Justice held at Bourges. According to the Toulonnais, an expedition is now fitting out with the utmost celerity to make a demonstration against Tangier, and subsequently to take up a position on the coast of Morocco, in the event of the EXPEROR proving obdurate in his re fusal to attend to the complaints of the French Re public. The expedition is to be composed of four line-of battle ships—the Friedland, bearing the flag of Admiral PARSEYAL-DESCHENES, the officer in com mand, the Jena, the Hercule, and the Inflexible ; four steam-frigates—the Descartes, the Christophe Colomb, the Cacique, and the Monterma ; and one steamer as an advice-boat, the Tartare. Six com panies of the 3d Marines, under the command of M. CHAYANNES, chef de bataillon, and a company of marine artillery, in all about 700 men, have been placed on board the above vessels. The expedition was expected to sail on the 12th, and it was thought that Spain would avail herself of the same opportu nity to have her wrongs expiated by the Emperor of MOROCCO. The PRESIDENT of the Republic on Thursday distributed, in the Orangerie of the Louvre, the prizes to the exhibitors deemed worthy of encourage ment for the articles which they had displayed at the late Exhibition of National Industry. He presented the Cross of the Legion of Honour to MM. CH. L. MULLER, C. FLEES, J. DUPRE L RAFFET, CH. TROYON, AVERY LECOXTE, and J. SECHAN. The following is the speech which the PRESIDENT delivered on the occasion : _ _ " I did not wish to cede to any one the pleasure and the right I have to present you with the recompenses which are your due. The sweetest prerogative of power is to encourage merit wherever it is to be met with. I have admired the masterpieces which you have offered to the public this year, in the exhibition of painting and sculpture, and I am rejoiced to testify to the great re sults of French artists in presence of a political agitation which must have engrossed much of their attention and leisure. " I hope that next year's exhibition will be even better than the present. The Emperor, in addressing his soldiers, said, That there was never anything done as long as there was still something to do.' Double your efforts to contribute your share towards the glorification of the French name. Let us encourage and honour the fine arts, for they tend to soften our woes and enhance our joys. _ _ "Ife assured that I shall watch your progress with the greatest solicitude, and you may rely upon the interest I shall always take in your noble labours." Both at the arrival and the departure of the PEE.. SIDENT at the Orangerie, he was saluted with s h outs of " Viva Napoleon !" " Vive le President de la Re publique !" Considerable apathy was observable at the Bourse to-day in consequence of the absence of all political news, and but little business was transacted. The Five per Cents, opened at 88f. 25c., rose to 118 f. 55c., and closed at 88f. 40c.

Senor SEIJAS was expected from Grenada on the 13th to enter on his duties as Minister of Commerce. A. lette from Algesiras states that the war steamers Alerta and Cid, and an American ship freighted for the purpose, had left for Melilla, conveying the 3d battalion of the Almansa regiment, and a squadron of cavalry, with 500 to 600 volunteers of the Ceuta regiment, who had been promised by the Captain General to have their discharge at the end of the campaign. Provisions were scarce at Melilla, and the Moors had cut off the usual supplies of meat, fowls , eggs, &c. There was no Bourse on the 9th, being Sunday, though some business was done outside, the Three per c e nts. at 27i. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1849, to the garrison of the Castle and the population of Gaeta, and of Mola da Gaeta; and he received for the last time, the KING, QUEEN, and royal children, to vs•hom he poured out all the effusions of a grateful heart for the consolation they had afforded him during so long a separation from his own people. Pio Noso left Gaeta at eight o'clock in the morn ing, on board the KING'S steam-yacht the Tancrede, under a salute of 120 guns from the Castle, and amidst the most enthusiastic acclamations of the multitude. Near Posilipo the squadron was saluted with 21 guns by her Britannic MAJESTY'S ship the Prince Regent. The royal salute had a splendid effect, and as the enthusiasm of the people was excited, their cheers were heard in the intervals of the firing, or rose above the roar of the artillery. Skirting the bay, the people presented themselves in crowds, full of delight and gaiety, waving hand kerchiefs and cheering, so that the Supreme PONTIFF must have been convinced that here at least he has the vast multitude on his side. The effect of the whole spectacle is said to have been " truly glorious." The Porx said mass on the 6th instant in the Cathedral of Naples, and all the nobility and people have flocked to see his HOLINESS, and pay him the homage of their love and respect. The personal appearance of this celebrated Pontiff is thus graphically described by one who has seen him both at Gaeta:and since his arrival at Naples : " I understand from those who were received by the Pope in the Palace at Portici that the impression made on me during the brief opportunity I had of examining his appearance is correct, and that I need not hesitate in say ing,that the good old man is much ch ange d d ur i ng the three years of his agitated reign. His hair has be come nearly, gray, and his countenance, th oug h s till retaining all its saintly placidity, is marked by some lines of care. In fact, the expression of the face is the exact reflection of his mind, which, whilst resigned de voutly to the dispensation of Providence, cannot avoid suffering for the sorrows it undergoes, and the affliction which weighs so heavily on the people. The common plaster busts of Pio Nono aro excellent likenesses, and th ose w h o w i s h to study the combined expression of unaffected devotion, un bounded philanthropy, and saintly philosophy, will find them there united. .Besides those reli g i ous qua li t i es f or which the Pope is so justly esteemed, all who have access to him are loud in praising the courteous and noble bear ing with which he receives. He is a gentleman and a priest, and never was the Roman Catholic Church more worthily represented than by him. Unless on great oc casions, the Pope's costume is particularly simple. A friend of mine, who saw him yesterday, says he wore a seutaine, or cassock, of white thick muslin, coming down to his feet, and concealing all his under dress, a white skull cap, and slippers of white stuff embroidered in gold." GARIBALDI has been lodged in prison in Genoa. His wife is found really to have died from fatigue, in a state of pregnancy.

(SY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, ONE r.M.—Calcraft, the public executioner, has just terminated the existence of the wretched culprit J. Gleeson Wilson, on the scaffold at Kirkdale Gaol, in the presence of the largest concourse of spectators that has probably ever been collected at Liverpool on a similar occasion, The miserable man's crimes were of the most appalling character; their equal in revolting atro city, possibly, is not to be found in the annals of such barbarous acts. By introducing himself into the dwelling of Captain Einrichson as a traveller, he, for no other apparent purpose than plunder, succeeded in savagely murdering Mrs. Ann Hinrichson, her two sons, Henry George and John Alfred, and the fourth victim, Mary Parr, the servant, by cutting their throats, beating in their skulls, and otherwise fright fully mutilating them. For these atrocities he was tried at the last assizes, and left for death by Mr. Justice Patteson. The public may be aware that Captain Hinrichson, the deceased's husband, has only within the last week returned to England from a voyage to Calcutta. Never has a convict under sen tence of death exhibited such an amount of callous• ness as Wilson, notwithstanding the exhortations of the Rev. Mr. Duggin, a Roman Catholic minister, who has been in daily, almost hourly, attendance upon him. An impression has been entertained that Captain Hinrichson confronted the culprit in the course of yesterday, the bereaved captain having expressed a desire to see him. Such, however, is not the case ; the mate of his ship saw the convict in the condemned cell on Thursday night, by order of the authorities, in order to satisfy the public mind that he was not the carpenter who had formerly belonged to Captain Hinrich son's vessel. Twelve o'clock this day was the time appointed for carrying the dread sentence into effect, when there could rot have been less than from 20,000 to 30,000 persons collected. A few minutes after twelve Wilson was led forth on to the drop. He appeared remarkably firm, and while the preliminaries were being arranged not a muscle in his frame was seen to move. Scarcely three minutes elapsed ere the bolt was drawn, and the wretched man died after a few but severe struggles. He protested his innocence to the last.

The sales were about 4,000 bales, nearly all to the trade.—The market for Railway Shares was fluc tuating, and closed weakly. The Bank of England's weekly return, to Saturday last, is of no particular interest. The amount of "notes out with the public was smaller, but this is only to a slight extent, the result of an abridged discount busi ness, the amount paid in to the Bank to the credit of the National Treasury being considerable, and in excess by 431,0001. of the sum withdrawn by private depositors. The value of money is certainly higher in the City than it was a week or two since, but as yet the Lombard. street firms compete successfully with the Bank, in the vaults of which specie, in the meantime, is still accumu lating.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. After all it appears from the Vienna journals of the 9th instant that not only has Comorn seriously resolved upon a resistance, but that General KLAPKA —represented recently in some reports as incapaci tated from: illness, and in others as having hastened to Dotis to deliver himself up to the Austrians—is actually at this moment, and has been all along at Comorn, carrying out at all hazard the orders of the Council of War in that fortress. 'We state this fact on the authority of the Journal des Debats of yes terday. In a few days there will be held at Vienna impor tant conferences upon the affairs of the Hungarians, in which conferences, under the Presidency of the young EMPEROR, the following will take part :—All the Ministers, with Generals RADETZKY, HAYNAU, JELLACHICH, HESSE, and Baron GERINGER. General DEmnirisices son, now under arrest during two months, has not yet been liberated. From Cracow we learn that lately the house of HOSGOWSKI, the brother-in-law of General BEM, had been searched in the vain hope of discovering some important docu ments. On the sth instant the son of Prince PARIS WITCH passed through Ratibor, on his way from Warsaw to Vienna, carrying a chest of Austrian colours lately taken from the Hungarians. Intelligence via Agram states that the fortress of Peterwardein surrendered on the sth inst., at four o'clock in the afternoon. KISS, like a true patriot, had adopted every possible means to prevail upon the garrison to continue its defence. The beseiging force around Comorn is estimated at 60,000. There is every prospect that they will have to employ fire and sword before they can reduce the courage of the_2o,ooo heroic Magyars under KLAPICA, still holding out in that citadel of Hungarian pa triotism. At Vienna it is rumoured at one moment that FRANZ JosEru is about to espouse the Grand Duchess HELENA of Russia, at another that be is already be trothed to the Princess ALEXANDRIA of Saxony. PRUSSIA. After attending at the conference in Toaplitz, it appears that the King of Raussia also took part with the Austrian EMPEROR and the King of SAXONY in the subsequent conference holden at Pilnitz. On the - 11th, at Berlin, during the splendid review on the plains called llasen-haide, about two miles from the capital, the KING was attended by Prince CHARLES and his gallant son Prince CHARLES FREDERICK, the young son of Prince ALBRECHT, and a numerous and brilliant suite, at the head of whom was General WRANGEL. The QUEEN, Princess of PRUSSIA, Princess CHARLES, and her fair daughter, accompanied by their ladies and attendants, were on the ground, and added to the beauty of the scene. The troops assembled consisted of six regiments of cavalry (24 squadrons), three and a half batteries (30 field pieces), with 19 battalions of infantry, of which 13, including Rifles, were of the Guard, the remainder of the line, and the 9th and 14th mostly Pomeranians, and all square•built, power ful men, equal almost in every point to the Guards. The whole number present amounted to about 3,200 sabres and lances, and 12,000 infantry, with 30 field pieces—a flea- bite in Prussia, where masses of me n can be brought together withl facility, and where at this season there is ground sufficient to manoeuvre 50,000 men. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. On hearing of the interview between the Emperor of AUSTRIA and the King of PRUSSIA at Tcep!itz and at Pilnitz, the Archduke JOHN is said to have expressed his great satisfaction, at the same time adding, that he trusted they had now almost reached the turning point of all their cares and anxieties. RUSSIA. All the Hungarian flags recently taken by the Russians will be forwarded to St. retersburgh. The following account of the infamous ARTIIUR GEORGET we translate from the C'enstitutionnel, and place among the Russian intelligence, regarding such communications as rather relating to Russia than to Hungary. It is a passage ex tracted from a letter dated Kaschan, the Ist of September, and will be perused, we doubt not, with melancholy curiosity by all those who sympathise with us in our interest in everything referring to the fatal deception practised on Hungary. The writer speaks as follows :—" This day the modern CINCINNATUS (0, after having abdicated the sceptre of dictatorship (which he had held scarcely forty-eight hours 1) to return to his plough or his homestead, passed through our town. He is tall in stature of powerful proportions, and has a light coloured moustache. He wears spectacles, and has his head enveloped in a capacious cap, which covers a wound received in the vicinity of Comorn. His person and his countenance are characterized by energy and decision. Shortly after his arrival the hotel into which he had retired was surrounded by a crowd of curious observers. By his side at table were his brother, his wife, and an Austrian Major. Several Russian officers, by whom he is greatly loved, pressed round the group to see him, and to offer him their compliments and felicitations. He appeared to be in good spirits, and most amicably disposed to wards everybody. After dinner he started, with his companions, to Georg, a village situated in the district of Zipsa, and originally founded by his family. After having arranged some private business at this place he will hasten on to Graetz, where he will fix his residence." There let him remain henceforth in his infamous obseurity. TURKEY. Intelligence from Semlin of the sth states that the Russian General Lovcm has left Belgrade for Turkey on the 3d, with the SULTAN'S firman, to effect the arrest of KOSSUTH, DEMBINSKI, and 390 other marked persons. England will look to Sir STRATFORD CANNING for the safety of KOSSUTH—for his preservation from the monsters who are now thirsting for his blood. ITALY. His Holiness Pope Plus IX. was received by the Neapolitans with acclamations and all military honours, the vessels and forts firing royal salutes, the flags flying, the bells ringing. At night, on the 4th, there was a general illumination and a discharge of fireworks. Without a t h s t e o r p p a i n n h a i t s u a g p l u e s s t , a t h t t e e n s d h a i n p t s s b y e :s r i s bang d g the Holy Fa t her an d his a ugust a t tendants passed on, amidst salvos of artillery, to Portici. In the Milan Gazette of the 6th inst. is announced the sudden death, on that very morning, of the vene rable chief priest of the metropolitan church of that city, the Count OYIZZONI. He died as he was pro ceeding in his vestments to the altar of the B. V., where he was about to say mass. Count Orrisort i was one of the most distinguished among the ecclesi astics of Lombardy. The following details respecting the arrival of the Sovereign PONTIFF in the Bay of Naples on the 4th inst. will be found interesting; they are extracted from a private letter : " The Pope arrived here this afternoon at four o'clock. The squadron which accompanied him was composed of a Neapolitan frigate, on board of which was his Holi ness, a Spanish frigate bearing an Admiral's flag, and the Vauban French steamer. These vessels were fol lowed by other Neapolitan steam frigates and a second Spanish frigate. These vessels, on entering the gulf, after having rounded Cape Mesino, did not immediately steer for Portici ; but they went round the bay and the quays of the city, as far as the entrance of the port for merchant vessels, doubtless for the purpose of allowing his Holiness to enjoy the magnificent coup d'ceil of the city. During the whole evening the roads re-echoed with the salutes fired from the vessels, and the fireworks let off on the shore by the people, who never miss an opportunity, were it even the fete of the humblest Ma done, to fire off rockets and illuminate their houses from top to bottom. The French ships Ariel and Tan erode were dressed out with flags." It is expected that the Legislative Chambers of Tuscany will be re-opened in November. Accounts from Rome of the sth mention a decided difference of opinion to have arisen between the three Cardinal Commissioners. ALFIERA and DELLA GENGA. are opposed in policy to VANNICELLI. DELLA GENGA threatens to retire to Albano. The result of this difference is expected to be the nomination of a single Pontifical Commissioner (ALTnitz or Mes spro), assisted by two councillors, Colusom Buss' and MORICHINI. France has declared herself in favour of the Statute; Austria for the Statute with. out secularisation ; and Spain and Naples for the Governmental Council. Before his departure from Gaeta, the scene of so many months exile, the Supreme PONTIFF revived in all its pomp one of the most ancient ceremonies of the Catholic Church—the presentation of the golden rose, the Rosa d'Ore. The Latin oration, with which the Holy FATHER handed this superb jewel to the Queen of NAPLES, was as follows : "Accipe rosam de manibus nostria , quam, ex speciali commissions in Christ() Patric et Domini nostri Pii Divine providentia Papa Noni nobis facta, tibi tradimus, per quam designatur gaudium utriusque Hierusalem, keilicet triumphantis ct militantis Ecclesim, per quam omnibus Christi fidelibus manifestatur fios ills speciosis simus, qui est gaudium et corona Sanctorum omnium. " Suscipiat Majestas tua, qua) secundum seculum nobilis, patens et multa virtute prsedita es, ut amplins multa virtute a Christo Domino nobilitei ie, tamquam rose plantata super rivos aquarum multarum, quern gratiam ex sus infinita dementia tibi conceders dignetur, qui eat Trinus et Unus in secula seculorum. Amen." In the co u r se o f th e d a y th e P OPE gave a parting benediction, as well as substantial marks of bis bounty ndonderry and Ennis killen Do. 1p Shares 5 ......

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—To prevent collision with steam-vessels, Scel I would sugg es t th e manufacture and employment "gutta percha speaking trumpets." The longe r look at the id ea th e more a d vantages I can see w ould arise from its adoption, particularly on board ions steam-boats. On board long steamers at sea, when the look-out forward observes any vessel or dagger cicse upon them, h e i mme di a t e l y s h ou t s ou t "51 9 r.. board the helm," or "port the helm," as the case may be, but from the length of vessel, the noise of engine! and it may be a howling wind, the word has to v w passed along by two or three persons before the roa n at the helm can distinctly understand it. Now, were, a gutta percha tube t o l ea d f rom t h e f ore part of vessel aft to the man at the helm, the word would be instantaneously transmitted, nor could it be easily misunderstood.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., Sept. 12, 1849.
