As England's Queen has made a stay Among the Highland laddies, It is but light that she should pay A visit to the Paddies. The Queen will have a welcome there, While bell.; from every steeple, With merry music will declare The gladness of her people. But will our gracious Sovereign meet Across St Georee's waters, With warmer hearts than those which beat In England's sons and daughteri. And when she views, with beaming singe, The scenes which there a •vait her ; Will she be weaned from ANon's Isle, And think Hibernia greater? Much will she see in that famed part, But when her visit closes, Will she have seen a greater Mart Than that of Messrs. Moses? In Trousers, Coats, and Waistcoats, too, Will Ireland's shears or needle Shame Moses' Mart, which stands in view Of Aldgate's part •h beadle? Or if she buy a Habit there, In which she sometimes dresses, Will she consider the affair Better than M. and S.'s.

Japer on Aug. 7, HIM Reader, remember, this letter was put int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the lierbary, High rate 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 baldne ss appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s degenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Ils. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex 3erience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but 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 ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In oases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w Imps on the crown of the head occasionally, every wee k, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, Mate it strong, and Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the aair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops en the grown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' hew% it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent oonvulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—Bee ianaphlet of testimonials.

ZIILIIETA. _ This was an action to recover damages for a breach of a contract entered into by the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Lush were for the plain tiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Peacock for the defendant. It appeared that in the year 1848, the defendant, act ing as the ag ent of a Spanish merchant at the Haman nab, engaged the plaintiff and nine other persons as stokers and coalmen on board a steam-ship called the Tridente, belonging to that gentleman, and which was partly manned by Spaniards; and by the agreement that was entered into the engagement was to continue for a year, with three months' notice; and the English men on board the vessel were to have a galley to cook their victuals, and to be allowed certain rations. The vessel was commanded by a Spainiard when she sailed on her voyage; and it was alleged by the plaintiff, that upon , the arrival of the Tridente at Cadiz, the meat that was given him and his companions was 6. alive" with mag gots, and unfit to be eaten ; one of the witnesses s tating, that on his remonstrating with the Spanish captain, he admitted it was very bad, and that he did not think even his own men would eat it, and he was sure it would not do for an Englishman. Repeated re monstrances, it appeared, were made by the crew, and at length the agent of the vessel at Cadiz told them that if they would not mess with the Spaniards, they should be sent home, and on their refusal they were paid their wages up to the time, and their passage paid for to Eng land. The witnesses represented that it was utterly im possible for them to fulfil the condition of messing with the Spanish crew, as their food consisted of a quarter of a pound of pork to each man, which was beat up in a mortar, and then mixed with common sperm oil, such as was used to the engine, a large quantity of garlic, and biscuits, which they bit to pieces and mixed with the other Ingredients, and this savoury dish was the only food they had at every meal; but according to the tes timony of the Englishmen the smell of it was quite enough for them, and it was quite impossible for them to endeavour to accustom their stomachs to such food. The present action was, therefore, brought by the plaintiff, to recover the amount of the three months' notice, and also damages for not having received the proper rations to which he was entitled under the agreement. ragreements, Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL took some technical objec tions in the course of th e case . H e fi rs t conten d e d t h at the agreement ought to h ave b een stampe d. M e r r s . Sergeant t made ht h e w Stam p am A i and labourers, were exempted from its operation. He artificers ct m - n did not contend that a stoker on board a steam-boat was a mariner, but he should with confidence urge that he was a labourer as much as a person employed on a steam engine on a railway. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said he was inclined to think that the agreement did not require a stamp, but he would reserve the point. Another objection taken by Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL, that the defendant was not properly sued as agent, was also reserved. Mr. Baron ALDERSON having ruled that there had been a breach of contract, _ The Jury, upon the facts, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 25/. CROWN COURT.—(Before the LORD CHIEN BARON.) John Becher, 32, was brought up to receive sentence. The prisoner bad pleaded guilty on the first day of assizes to the charge of setting fire to and destroying a number of barns and other farm buildings, the property of a farmer at Bosham. Certificates were now banded in to the Court, from which it appeared that up to the time of the transaction the prisoner had borne a most exemplary character, and he had received several prizes from the West Sussex Agricultural Association for good conduct as a labourer. It was also stated that he had received a hurt in his head, which had affected his brain, and that he was at times exceedingly violent, and that there was reason to believe that at the time he committed the act imputed to him he was not in his right senses. The CHIEF BARON said that having regard to the contents of the certificates and the other circumstances of the case, he should order the prisoner to be impri soned for only three months, and if it was correctly stated that his mind was affected, this would give an op portunity for placing him in proper custody, and prevent ing him from committing further mischief. NORFOLK ClRGUlT.—lpswich, Aug 2. CROWN COURT.—(Before Chief Justice WILDE.) Robert Prime, aged 25, was indicted for maliciously cutting and wounding William Whitton, at Denham, with intent to disable and to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Maule conducted the case for the prosecution; Mr. E. Rodwell appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutor, who is a small farmer, upwards of 85 years of age, stated that a neighbour named Canlen having contracted to do the horse work for him on his farm, sent the prisoner on the 29th of June last with a pair of horses to " harrow" a certain field. As the pri soner was about to leave the field, the prosecutor re marked that he had not done it properly, and requested him to re-yoke his horses, and do it again. The pri- soner, however, declined to allow the prosecutor to do it himself, and after a short altercation the old man and the young man " fell a crowding each other;" in other words, they collared each other by the neck, and a regular scuffle ensued, in the midst of which, old as he was, the prosecutor must have got the best of it, for the prisoner called out that he would " stab him in the body if he did not let go." The prosecutor on this saw a knife in the hand of the prisoner, and fearing that ,he would carry his threat into execution, he put aside his right hand with his left, while he held him at arm's length with his right hand. The prisoner being thus foiled in his intentions, exclaimed, " I'll cut your right hand off ;" and at the same moment he drew his knife across the old man's wrist. This attack, of course, made the prosecutor re linquish his hold, and the prisoner, without saying another word, made off to the hedge, over which ho leapt and soon got out of sight. The prosecutor, though severely wounded, continued the harrowing, and having finished it, went to a friend of his, who had been two years " boy" to a doctor about sixty years ago, and by his advice he applied some mixture of herbs to the wound. This, however, did not do much good ; pssi bly the ancient " doctor's boy" miy have ill treated the caie. But the wrist grew as big as the prisoner's head; on which a real doctor was called in. By his treatment the pain and swelling were relieved, and he pronounced that the case was going on as well as could be. But the prosecutor now stated that he had not the perfect use of his wrist, and felt a constant numbness in his thumb. The jury having found the prisoner Guilty, His LORDSHIP declined to pass sentence on him at present. Thomas Cotton, aged 18, Ives indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of Mary Thompson, at Bury Sr. Edmund's, on the 16th of November last, and steal ing therefrom six silver teaspoons, a silver watch, and Some coppers. Then; being no Counsel for the prosecution, The CHIEF JUSTICE took occasion to reprobate the omission to retain Counsel in so serious a case. The prisoner was not defended; and no Judge ought to be subjected to the double burden of conducting the prose cution and the defence too. He must, therefore, beg that the senior Counsel present would examine the wit nesses for the prosecution. Mr. DASENT accordingly called the prosecutrix, and from her statement it appeared that she and her niece, being the only occupants of her house, they quitted it on Nov. 16, at halt-past six in the evening to go to church, locking and securing all the doors and windows. As they went out they saw " Jolly . Dick," the lamp lighter, who was lighting a gas lamp just opposite their house. On tho return of the ladies, they discovered that the gas-lamp had been extinguished, and on enter ing the house, Mrs. Thompson ascertained that the house had been forcibly entered from behind by the removal of a cellar window (to do which a chain was snapped asunder). A further search disclosed to the prosecutrix that her old watch and half a dozen silver spoons had been carried off, the thief having, no doubt, made his escape over a low wall bounding a back garden. No tidings was heard of the stolen property till the month of January, when the watch was traced to a pawn broker's shop, where it had been pawned for 10s. by the prisoner, in the name of " Ch. Catton," in which he had on former occasions pledged a few articles of clothing. Under these circumstances the prisoner was taken into custody, and recognised by the lamplighter as a man whom he had seen loitering about the house of Mrs. Thompson while the lamp was being lighted. The jury having found the prisoner guilty of this charge, and also of a previous conviction, His LORDSHIP observed that it was evidently useless to think of inflicting any mild sentence on such an offender. The judgment of the Court, therefore, was, that he should be transported for seven years. When this sentence was passed the fellow drew his breath in with a long shrill whistle, and in the most cool manner thanked his Lordship. NORTHERN CIRC UlT.—Newcastle• upon- Tyne, August I. _ . CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAM and a Special Jury.) THE COMMISSIONERS OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL V. SIR EDWARD BLACKETT AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trover. The declaration stated that the plaintiffs were possessed of large quantities of minerals in the county of Northumberland, and that the defendants found and converted them to their own use; to which the defendants pleaded, &laying the possession of the plaintiffs. After a long investigation, the jury intimated that they had quite made up their minds that the lands were free hold. Mr. KNOWLES said, after that intimation, ho would not persist in the case, nor exercise his right of reply. The Commi-sioners of Greenwich Hospital had done what thwy telt it was their d ut y to do, and the defendant had proved his freehold title. Verdict accordingly for the defendants. CROWN COURT._ Mr. Justice WIGUTMAN,) Christina Hormsbm. aged 26. was iFtdieted for the wilful murder of her husband, William llorratby, by ad ministering arsenic to him in a po‘set. It appeared that the deceased, who wad a pitman, had [I t RICE SD• been married to the prisoner about seven years, and they appeared to live affectionately together. At Christmas last the deceased was unwell. On the 4th of April the deceased walked to Alston, a distance of fourteen miles, returning on the 14th. On his way back he complained of being unwell. He was attended by Dr. Garner, of Haltwhistle, till the 25th of April, but died on the 27th, it was thought by his medical man of a pulmonary complaint, and a certificate to that effect was given by him. Rumours having been spread that he had died of poison, a post-mortem examination was made of the body, and in his intestines were found thirty-two grains of sulphurat of arsenic, five of which were sufficient te destroy life. It appeared that at the house where the deceased and the prisoner lodged on the 23d of April, the prisoner asked a charwoman, named Ruth Hether ington, if she knew where there was a chemist's shop, and begged her to get some arsenic, as her husband bad found a beg on his shirt, and there were more in the bed, and train oil and arsenic were the best means of destroying them. On the 25th of April Ruth Hetherington purchased four pennyworth of arsenic and took it to the prisoner's lodgings next day. The prisoner said the deceased was poorly, and asked her, "if she had got__i_t,'". Jaiktipon the ars en i c b e i ng given to Icel.:Told the witness (ffetherington) she would have occasion for her help some day to put it on. She then washed out a little pan which was on the floor, and said, " I must give William (the deceased) some boiled milk." The prisoner made no secret about purchasing the arsenic. There was no evidence how the arsenic which produced the deceased's death had been admi nistered ; but witnesses stated that they had heard the prisoner say, about Easter Monday, that she had got bad thoughts into her head, and that she was wearing a widow's bonnet. There was no evidence of any un kindness or bad feeling between the prisoner and the deceased, and she appeared to suffer much grief at hisirath. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS addressed the jury for the defence, relying on the want of any apparent motive in the prisoner to commit such a deed, and ou the com fortable and happy terms on which she appeared to live with her husband.

Most of the latter are men of twenty-three years' ser vice. One man has lost his leg by a cannon shot. They proceeded to London by the Coquet steamboat the same evening, and the Queen's troops landed at the dockyard, consisting of 2 sergeants, 2 corporals, and 30 privates, with 2 women and 4 children, of the 101 h Hussars; 5 sergeants, 1 corporal, 2 drummers, and 26 privates, with 8 women, and 11 children, of the Bth Foot; 5 sergeants, 1 corporal, 1 drummer, and 56 pri vates, of the 22d (Cheshire), with 9 women and 21 children; 1 man of the 28th Foot; 1 corporal and 18 privates of the 60th Rifles, with 2 children; 78th High landers, 1 sergeant, 2 corporals, 1 drummer, 36 privates, and 1 sergeant and 10 privates of the 86th, and 1 ser geant and 21 privates, with 4 children, of the 94th Regiment, and 1 corporal and 7 privates of the St. Helena Regiment, with 1 child—making a total of 15 sergeants, 8 corporals, 4 drummers, and 205 privates, with 19 women and 40 children. Private John Whitmore and Private Benjamin Winfield, of the 22d Regiment, were pri soners, having been discharged from the regiment with ignominy. Major R. H.

Charter, and Assistant- Surgeon James Richard Fennell, Bth Foot, Lieutenant Alexander Mackenzie, 78th, and Lieutenant F. B. Cow per, 86th, who took charge of the Company's troops. The invalids are those who were selected from the regiments when they were ordered for service up the country. There are about 25 severe cases of illness, and the men were conveyed in vans to the hospital at Fort Pitt. The troops state, that owing to shortness of provisions every eight soldiers were put upon every four seamen's allowances during the whole of the voyage, which was done for 114 days. They sailed from Bom bay on the 2d of April last, and on the 6th of June they put in at St. Helena, and took in water, remaining there seven days. The Melampus, 42 guns, Captain T. 11.

The troops have brought with them an immense quantity of baggage. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office, for the Governor of Sierra Leone. THE OPERATIVE BASER? SOCIETY.—Last night a crowded meeting of the journeymen and master bakers of London, members of the above society, was held in the theatre of the Literary and Scientific Institution, Leicester-square, on the progress made in the objects of the society, viz., the abolition of night work in bake houses Lord si that Lor on dßotnbeerlt7Gthronsfvelansot month ho moved forr, M.P., t oo k th e c h a i r , leave to bring in a Bill to abolish work in bakehouses during certain hours in the night, and thus to give bakers that portion of rest enjoyed by other classes of work men, but was defeated by a large majority. The object of the Bill was not met by a single valid objection, all the Hon. Members who opposed it totally mistaking its terms; and he had every reason to hope that when the Bill was better understood it would be more favourably received in the House of Commons. He would suggest' , that they should not abandon the Bill, which was now supported by the masters as wail as the journeymen, and that it should be brought forward again next session. A report detailing the opinions of the committee was then read, and resolutions in favour of the Bill mentioned were carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings.

LEEDS, TLIPRiDAY.—The annual meeting-of` Yorkshire Agricultural Society was brought to s close last night, by a public dinner in the New Stock -Exchange, where a large company sat down to an excellent and exceedingly abundant entertainment. The Right Hon. the Earl of Carlisle presided ; the Right Hon. Lord Harewood occupied the vice -chair; and the guests' tables were surrounded by Lord Gal way, the Hon. and Rev, the Dean of Ripon, Sir J. V. B. Johnstone, W. Beckett, Esq., M.P., the Hon. Mr. Webster, W. R. C. Stansfield, M.P., Edmund Deni son, M.P., J. G. Smyth, M.P., the Mayor of Leeds, and the principal gentry of the district. After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk, the Earl of HAREWOOD gave " Success to the Royal Agricultural Society," which was received with three times three. Sir JOHN JOHNSTONE, Bart., M.P., responded in appropriate terms. Mr. E. DENISON, M.P., then proposed " The health of the Noble President," in a speech highly laudatory of his Lordship's virtues and public services. The toast was drunk with applause, again and again reiterated, and - The Earl of CARLISLE, on rising to respond, was most warmly greeted. His Lordship adverted to the fact that no district and no place was more happily suited than that in which they were met to enforce the reconciling and stimulating lesson how much they all depended on each other, how close and instataneous a chord of sympathy, quicker even than the electric chain, connected together the farmer's barn and the tradesman's till. The Noble Earl then alluded to a measure which had just passed through Parliament— a Bill for allowing the borrowing of money by private individuals for drainage on their own properties. It was a Bill brought in and suggested by the Duke of Richmond, to whom the promoters of British agri culture always felt a large debt of gratitude. For the protection of the borrower and of his successor, and of the remainder men, whoever they may be, there would be the security of an organized superinten dence, that of the Drainage Commission, and of the execution of the work by skilful and practical inspec tors. And for the protection of the person who lent the money there would be a first charge made on the property so improved equivalent to the increased amount of value which had been imparted to the property. And, as the amount of in terest would not exceed five per cent., it was calculated that by allowing three per cent. addi tional, to repay the principal, a sum total of eight per cent. would pay off both principal and interest in the course of twenty-two years. The person who was to succeed to the estate would have the security of com petent and practical men that the money would be well laid out, and that no more would be laid out than the actual money's worth; and the lender would then have the security that in the space of twenty-two years the whole sum, consisting of both principal and interest, would be repaid to him. The Noble Lord next glanced at the difficulties to which both the agri cultural and manufacturing interests had been ex posed, and concluded by expressing his conviction that better prospects were brightening before them, and that if there be a determination entered into, with a humble dependence upon the source of all endea vour and of all success—if there be a determination never to be put down—(Hear, hear)—never to give way, then he felt confident that their manufactures would be successful —that their trade would be uni versal—their agriculture victorious—the teacher of new arts, the source of new riches, the dispenser of new blessings, to every generation of our race. The meeting was also addressed by Lord Galway, Mr. W. Beckett, M.P., Mr. J. E. Smyth, M.P., the Mayor of Leeds (Mr. John Hope Shaw), Mr. James Brown, Mr. Smith, of Burley, Rutlandshire ; Col. Tempest, the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Ripon, Mr. John Gott, Mr. H. S. 'Thompson, Mr. R.Creyke, I and other gentlemen, in the capacity of successful competitors or the proposers of complimentary toasts, which included the customary series. THE COLOSSAL TUBULAR BRIDGE AT TIIE MENAI STRAITS. (From the Liverpool Mercury of Tuesday.) In last Tuesday's paper we endeavoured to describe our impressions with regard to this most extraordi nary, this . unrivalled—we had almost said this incre dible work, respecting which, we repeat, no one can possibly obtain an adequate idea unless he goes to see it, while it is yet in progress, portions completed, and portions in the course of formation. The thought of carrying a railway, with all its moving load of pon derous engines and carriages, from one lofty steeple top to another, and then to another, would hardly have come within the dream of an opium eater ; but the actual fact is about to be presented to our asto nished gaze, and the beholding of what is already done towards it is an era in our lives. We will endeavour to give our readers one sketch by which they may judge of the daring and magni tude of the work. But at the outset we may observe, that the word " tube" does not convey to the mind an accurate conception of the hollow passage through which the railway is to proceed, at an elevation of more than a hundred feet above the level .of the sea which it is to cross. The passage is a rectangular hall, formed of boiler plate iron ; it is an iron box, in tact, to be suspended in air, and of prodigious dimensions, as will be conceived from the following homely, but perhaps graphi c suggestion :—Middle class houses in Liverpool and other towns are often six yards wide twenty-sixin ona riwufsroetboAct houses kley oortbiu roi efi" i a suchi l thatng houses kind übrbut y stt it represent knownforma requires considerable a ostanh six-yardsse dr length le reatbol ef of one tube ; and the breadth and height will be pretty accurately imagined, if we suppose all the front apart ments of those houses (parlour, drawing-room, and upper bed•room), to be formed into one, throughout the entire length. A long and lofty hall it would certainly be; and yet it would only represent one of the iron boxes, several of which are to carry the rail way from the summit of one tower to another over the Menai Straits. They will be suspended from tower to tower, throughout a length of four hundred and sixty feet, without any central support whatever: two tubes of this length, and two of a shorter length, form one line through the air ; and if we imagine a similar series of halls, formed of the back rooms of a sufficient number of such houses as above supposed, we shall have a tolerable idea of the double line of railway (for the going and coming trains) thus con veyed over a space which seemed to forbid the pro gress of any such means of transit. The exact length of each of the four principal tubes is 472 feet ; the exterior height nearly 30 feet ; the interior breadth 14 feet. Numbers of persons are flocking down the railway (the most picturesque line in the kingdom), from Chester, by Flint, Mostyn, Rhyl, Abergele, Conway, Aber, and Bangor, to see the works, and well they are repaid ; while numbers are, also, arriving by the steam-vessels from Liverpool to Beaumaris, for the same object. From the journey is performed by rail within eight hours. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—A quarterly general court the chair.;asT;ohlthune %it 'l l; best to thepatients, suited was theyesterday visits After eosf a ht t he ert short discussion s r hospital d ic u 1 officers in the course of which it appeared that the hours re commended by the medical committee were found in convenient by the medical officers, the minutes were read and confirmed, and the question which had been raised was postponed for the further consideration of the weekly board. The collector's report showed that, from May to August, there have been 33 new sub scribers, whose subscriptions amount to 84/. 95., whilst eight old subscribers, whose subscriptions amounted to 231. 25., have either died or withdrawn, and that con sequently there is a balance in favour of the hospital of 711. 7s. The secretary also gave the following list of alterations in the unpaid legacies since the last court:— ' Lady Caroline Murray, paid 10,000/. Consols; J. Curteis, Esq., paid 1,000/. sterling; S.
