BIRMINGLIAM, SATURDAY.—A s a close to the interesting proceedings of the week in connexion with the festival for the benefit of our great charity, we ought not omit th e b a ll , which took place last night. Although most respectably attended, the number of sons present were no t so great as on former occ‘ ions. Tickets to the number of about 330 were disposed of, and about 200 ladies and gentlemen assembled on the floor. In the orchestra the number of spectators was upwards of 300, and in the large gallery little short of 400. Dancing commenced at ten o'clock, when the gay and brilliant throng pre sented the spirit-stirring scene characteristic of such occasions. Every variety of dance was gone through in the most accomplished and graceful manner, none of them being too prolonged, so that each was fully and heartily enjoyed. The ladies were superbly, yet chastely, attired, and the " lords of the creation" became the willing subjects of their fair partners in the exciting scene. But all things have an end, and " pleasure's smiling stream" is far from being an exception to this rule; but still " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," and those who witnessed or partook of the festivities of the evening must regard this event as one of those joys which will ever and anon flit across the mind, even when the bodily faculties declare their " dancing days are over." Thus termi nated the Birmingham • Musical Festival for 1849, a season of enjoyment,, like angels' visits, " few and far between," but the atnount of good which it will have effected will be lasting; and most gratifying- is it to know, that long after the excitement has died away, the suffering poor will be reaping practical benefit from it, in the alleviation of their sorrows and sufferings.

The barony and estite of Islay, comprising the island of Islay and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which 34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,000/.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex pended in drainage and improvements. The rents are periodically and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500,000/., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,000/., in 12,000 50/. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of profits. • Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and iucra tive) ; he wilt, moreover, participate, every ten years his nominee 'aryl:yes, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and, in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become the absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq., the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire ap probation. The estate is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland. The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven direetors in Scotland, communicating with a board of correspondence in London. Two general meetings shall be held in Scotland in the months of June and December.

Both these houses are destroyed, and the next house, Mr. P. Lynch's, fruiterer, is partly burnt. The dockyard engine, under the direction of Lieutenat Wise, R.N., with a de tachment of dockyard police, and the Sun-engine, were present, and rendered material assistance in limiting the ravages of the fire.

Yesterday (Sunday) morning, shortly before three o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out upon the premises belonging to 11r. Trott, a builder, carrying on business in Primrose-street, Bishopsgate. The flames commenced, from some cause which could not be ascertained, in the ironmongery stores, a building of some magnitude, and separated from the City of London Theatre by only a few feet. Police constable 245 G, who first discovered the fire, raised an imme diate alarm, and in the course of a few minutes the engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of England attended, as well as one of the Royal So ciety's escapes. The flames, however, had during, the brief interval obtained entire possession of that portion of the premises in which they commenced, and were rushing so fiercely through the roof as to threaten the theatre with destruction. Fortunately there was an abundant supply of water from the fire mains in the district, with which the engines were worked with full vigour for some considerable time, before the least impression could be made upon the fire. Owing to the strenuous exertions of the fire men, however, the flames were prevented from ex tending to the theatre and other surrounding pro perty ; but they could not be extinguished until the stores were burned out, and the premises under, in the occupation of Mr. Johnson, grocer and coffee roaster, were severely damaged by water. Mr. Trott was fortunately insured in the Phoenix Office.—About one o'clock a rapidly destructive fire happened on the premises belonging to Mr. T. Hill, a greengrocer, situate at 29, Coles-terrace, Barnsbury-road, Islington. The fire when first perceived was raging furiously in the ground floor. The police on duty in the street sounded an instant alarm, and sent for the engines. Such a firm hold, however, had the flames previously obtained, that before an engine had time to arrive the fire was rushing forth from every window in the building. The parish, London Brigade, and West of England engines attended with as little delay as pos sible ; but, notwithstanding that the engines were abundantly supplied with water, and ever person exerted himself to the utmost, the flames could not be conquered until the whole of Mr. Hill's premises were completely gutted. Owing to the judicious exertions of the Clerkenwell and Islington engine keepers, the progress of the flames was cut off just as the adjoining premises, belonging to Messrs. Hop kins and Co., were on the point of becoming ignited. Mr. Baddeley, the inspector of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, who was promptly on the spot with the escape from Islington-green, nearly lost his life in endeavouring to stop the ravages of the fire. He entered the building with the branch of the Islington engine, for the purpose of extinguishing a portion of the fire not otherwise accessible, when he was suddenly over whelmed by the falling of the roof, but fortunately he escaped uninjured. A body of the N division of police, under Inspector Thatcher, were present, and rendered essential service. The origin of the fire re mains a mystery, although there is no doubt of its being accidental. Unfortunately, the sufferer was not insured.—ln the evening the extensive range of pre mises termed the Southern Mart, No. 51, Stones'- end, Borough, immediately facing the Police-court, were discovered to be on fire. The premises were in the occupation of Messrs. Palmer, Franke, and Co., hat and cap factors, and, owing to their proximity to the Unicorn Inn and outbuildings, a fearful conflagration was momentarily expected. Mr. Superintendent Evans, of the M division, with Mr. Inspector Cowlan, and a strong body of constables, immediately repaired to the spot, and kept the immense crowd from forcing in the shutters, by which means the flames were in a great measure kept under. The engines of the London Brigade and West of England Company, under the command of Mr. Henderson and Mr. Con norton, quickly attended; and, there being plenty of water obtained from the fire-mains belonging to the Lambeth and other companies, the brigade were enabled to confine the flames to the premises in which they commenced; but they were not extinguished until a large amount of property had been destroyed. Owing to the absence of all parties connected with the property it was impossible to learn whether the premises were insured.—On Saturday night a fire broke out in one of the stables of Sharsted-farm, in the occupation of Mr. James Edwards, of Rochester, situate near the village of Luton, about two miles from Chatham. Owing to the combustible materials, the flames travelled with unusual rapidity from one building to another, thence connecting them selves with a row of 12 stacks, the growth of this year, consisting of wheat, barley, oats, peas, &c., which were very soon in one body of fire. The in formation of the disaster was communicated by ex press to the offices of the Kent and Sun, and the agents immediately horsed their engines and pro ceeded to the awful scene of destruction. They were of no use, as there was no water, except a little in a pond. The property destroyed, it is stated, amounts to about 7,0001., and Mr. Edwards is only insured in the Kent for 4,0001. There are four horses burnt to death, three stables, one barn, and a long line of other the water acts the part both. of a recipient and a transmitter of heat ; and, as a safety-valve is attached to the tubes, it may be raised to 400 or 500 deg. Fahrenheit, without forming into steam. There is also another advantage derived from this arrange ment ; the gases in the furnace become more readily ignited by passing through the holes, or interstices, and the surface of the boiler is more equally:heated. In the experiment on Saturday, 561bs of coal evapo rated 7201bs of water in 1 hour and 12 minutes, being more than 121 b. of water evaporated for every 11b. of coal. The average evaporation of water by 11b. of fuel being rarely 81b., there is an advantage gained of at least 50 per cent. If the patent should succeed as well in practical working, of course its ap plication to marine engines would effect a considerable Saving. The patentee, taking for example one of the West India Mail Packets, says that in the 45 days it would occupy in its outward and homeward voyage, the savinc , under his system in coal would be 6001., and in additional freight 1,200/ making altogether an actual sum realised of 1,8001. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, HERALD.—The weak President of' the French Republic, and the wicked majority of the French Cabinet by whom he was supported, are now begin ning to find the real difficulties and dangers of the Roman question. It is not with any desire to vaunt our own foresight, that we recur to this question. But it arises now, and will constantly arise for pub lic discussion; and we cannot choose but remind our readers that when the French troops were about to enter Rome we predicted that the difficulties of the question were but really and truly corn m.encing. The spirit of the Papacy is a subtle, a !ricky, a i lying have i spirit;eever v e ro long given ep n n d a s heed , h e there et w ro eh or dependrwpe were ec ed found o n its promises or performances will, now and henceforth faith, d l who re liance on it—find themselves mistaken, if not deceived or deluded. Even among the votaries of the Roman men honest and bold enough to denounce this spirit. If Paul Sarpi, Bellarmine, Baro nius, Machiavelli, Savanarota, and Bossuet, found occasion to impeach the policy of Rome as false and fraudulent, how much more likely is that policy t? appear in a hundreifold worse light to men of a debased,different th a e r e cobweb neithe r casuistryenervated, the Romish schoolmen ? The Roman system of go vernment, ever since the Popes began to reign, when not . the most imbecile and idiotic, has been the most iniquitous, the most flagrantly corrupt and soul-de basing, that the world has ever yet seen. Sometimes indeed often, it has been imbecile, corrupt, and im moral,. at one and the same time ; and as the Papacy is in itself a Government unchanged and unchange able—as it is a' Government of a settled hierarchy, and of traditions banded down from ages !Ong past— as it is a Government of routine and forms settled on the basis of the old Popish systems —we need not say it is not merely a Government opposed to common sense and ordinary reason, but opposed to . H?ly Writ itself. To suppose that a Government like this, which . lives and moves by fraud and superstition—which props itself up by placing a padlock on the Book of Life—which traffics in sacred things—and which has for ages succeeded in placing a net-work of darkness over a large portion of the habitable globe, would reform itself by letting in the smallest ray of truth — would reform Catholic would . reform itself by admitting laymen to any real share in the administration of the Government, is one of the pious delusions of the devout M. Falloux, and one of the day-dreams of the ambitious, aspiring, but empty President of the French Republic. The mo ment the Papacy lets in one ray of light on its exe crable system the moment the smallest brick of Babylon is removed from its place—that instant comes down toppling the whole fabric of Pope and Papacy —of Cardinals, Camerlingos, and Sage-a Contulta —of Segnatura di Giustizia and Seg natura di Grazia —of Auditor of the Chambers and of the Rota—of Prefect of the Annova, Major-domo of the Pontifical Palace, and of the Congregation del Buon Governo. With all his blindness, bigotry, and narrowness, Gregory XVI. well saw this, and accordingly he refused, even at the solicitation of the great powers, to alter one particle of the old system. But Pius IX., who is a weak, vain, and short-sighted man, thought he might run with the hare and hold with the hounds at the close of the nineteenth century. When, however, be found that the effect of even his very small modicum of reform must ultimately, and at no distant day, upset the Papacy, this popularity-loving Pazzo of a Pope was scared, and renouncing all he had heretofore done, fled from Rome on the 24th of November. Since then his course has .been purely and a lt oge th er re actionary. On the Neapolitan territory he listened to every scheme of absolute and irresponsible Govern ment. On and from the Neapolitan territory he excommunicated the majority of the Roman citizens, and on and from the same territory he blessed the Nea politan army proceeding to slaughter his own subjects. This was the man whose reign a French army was dispatched to restore, and now, having restored him, the President and Cabinet who sent them on this fool's mission are very much surprised to find that neither the Pope nor th e car di na l s w ill do their bidding. We confess we cannot very much sym pathise either with th e s ill y an d th oug h t l ess Presi dent or his pomp ous an d pon d erous P rem i er. The President in a most unconstitutional and illegal letter —in which he has clearly outstepped his authority— writes to his aide-de-camp at Rome that there are four indispensable conditions to a restoration of the Papal authority :-Ist. A general amnesty. 2.11 y. An admissibility of laymen to all Government offices. 3dly. The adoption of the Napoleon Code. 4thly. A liberal form of government. Now, if these be indispensable conditions to such restoration, why was such restoration at all attempted ? The Roman Triumvirate and Constituente were in course of realising—in fact, had already nearly, more than six months ago, realised, all that M. Louis Bonaparte contends for. The Roman Republic had proclaimed an amnesty. Under the Roman Republic laymen were ad missible to all employments. Under the Roman Repub lic a considerable portion of the Code Napoleon would have become the general law ; and a liberal Govern ment had been actually already established. Why, therefore, were Mazzini, Arn3ellini, Saffi, Rusconi, and others, set aside ? Why was the Roman Con,sti tuente turned into the street—with its President, the cousin of M. Louis Bonaparte, at its head—by French dragoons, under the command of Oudinot ? Rome under the Triumvirs enjoyed tranquillity—under the l'riumvirs justice was impartially administered— under the Triumvirs the Inquisition and secret tribunals were abolished —under the Triumvirs em ployments were secularised, and the oppressive power of priests, monks, and inquisitors was at an end. Why, therefore, did not President Bona parte and his Cabinet allow Roman citizens thus to manage their own affairs, and to carry their own reforms in their own fashion, more especially as it now appears both had the same ends in view ? Partly because a reactionist and parti pretre majority and a ;Kira pretre Minister desired a restora tion of the Pope—partly because the President wished to curry favour with the army by a foreign expedition —and partly because a portion of the Cabinet feared that if France did not interfere at Rome, Austria or Naples would interfere. These were the mixed motives that produced the Roman expedition ; and, looking to its origin, one cannot be the least sur prised that it h as b een so utter l y fruitless in good results. Instead of i ncreas i ng F renc h i n fl uence, i t has caused the French name to be execrated—instead of advancing constitutional government and improved institutions, it has postponed the hopes and trifled with the wishes of the people of Italy. There is not in the Italian p en i nsu l a, f rom T urin and Genoa to Venice, and fro m V en i ce t o th e Ab ruzz i, a man o f any mind who does not exclaim to his brethren— " Trust not for freedom to the Franks; They have a chief that buys and sells. In native swords and native ranks Our only hope of freedom dwells." We confess ourselves that our hopes of Italy arise from the unimprovable nature of the Papal Govern ment, and from the mad schemes which that shadow of the shade of a Government is pursuing. When we find in the month of September, 1849 the Inquisition re-established in a city now within four or five days' journey from Paris, and within six days' journey of London—when we find a committee of its familiars charged to seek out offences against religion and the authority of the Pope, as . though one and the other were identical—we take hope and comfort, and predict that such things cannot long continue. When we find as a consequence of this. Papal system that the Arch bishop of Naples has asked the King of Naples for the re-establishment of the Jesuits driven ignomi niously from the Neapolitan territories two years ago, and sheltered by the lay brother, Mr. Moore O'Fer rall, Governor of Malta, and that the King has not only granted his request, but that Padre Fava has again entered Naples, we take hope and comfort, for we proclaim that with rail and steam such monstrosi ties cannot long continue. French officers and soldiers will not under any system of government support such mummeries; and left to itself, without the support of French or other foreign soldiers, the Papal system must soon perish. The people of Rome are quite l: receive the regenerating influence of °n b for a religi ous c h ange. T he i r minds &rep: a a few eloquent a n d able Englishmen, Americans, Frenchmen, or Germans were now to appear and to proclaim that God's Word should no longer be a sealed book, but ought to be read by every Italian, the fabric of the Papacy, with all its half Pagan abominations, would fa ll a s u nder. n a nd e if D R EADFUL DEATH IN STR OUD UNION WORK ROUSH.— On Thursday a paup er idi ot was scalded to death at the Stroud Union Workhouse. The surgeon had ordered him to be placed in a warm bath, and ho was immediately conducted to one which had been just before used by a female pauper. In it he was placed, without the slightest precaution to ascertain the tempe rature of the water, and his attendants appear to have totally disregarded his piercing shrieks. The miserable creature was at last found in the bath scalded to death. Those whose duty it was to attend to him plead that they were at the moment engaged in the care of a cho lera patient who had just been brought in, and that he was in the habit of crying out to alarm the other pau pers. The beard of guardians met on Friday, and passed a resolutien requesting the Poor law Commis sioners to institute an inquiry. ---------____._..,_,,_ THE CHOLERA. The Board of Health issued the following circular ;o the clergy on Saturday : " General Board of Health, Gwydyr-house, ..._._.. Whitehall, August 8. " Rev. Sir,—l am directed by the General Board of Health to state, that at the request of the Bishop of London they have herewith transmitted to you a copy of the'Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Amendment Act;' and I am to call your attention to the provisions in sect. 9, 10, 11, and 12, intended to pro vide means of relief from the evils occasioned by the actual condition of intramural graveyards. "I am at the same time to convey to you the assu rances of the General Board of Health, that consistently with the pressing demands upon them for assistance during the• present visitation of the epidemic disease, and the limited means at their disposal for meeting such demands, they will give their earnest attention to the cases which may appear to require the application of the provisions of the Act. " I am also to state, with reference to the permanent arrangements contemplated by the statute, that this board have expressed to the Bishop of London their de sire to carry out, as far as may be practicable, the spirit of the accompanying resolutions, contained in a report of a committee of the metropolitan clergy, and adopted at a meeting of that body, presided over by the Very Rev. the Dean of Manchester, and afterwards submitted to and approved by the Bishops of London and Win chester. " The committee report the following as the result of their inquiries:— " First they beg to express their acquiescence in the opinion now so generally and strongly entertained by the public, that it is exceedingly desirable that inter ments within the metropolis, except in the cases herein after mentioned, section Noe. 25 and 26, should be dis continued, and that larger and more convenient burial grounds than th ose a t present existing, should be sub stituted at reasonable distances from the metropolis, provided such grounds, when established, be parochial burial•grounds, with a reservation to all parties now having or hereafter by law to have certain interests in the ancient churchyards, or parochial burial-grounds, of all the same rights, privileges, and duties now be longing to them. " In submitting the above plan, the committee beg o state that their object throughout has been not merely to provide for the removal of the evils of the present system, and for the preservation of existing rights, but to suggest the extension of benefits to the community. Their wish is that every inhabitant of Lon don, however poor, should have a legal right to the following privileges on the death of a relative, namely, an undisturbed grave in the peaceful seclusion of a well-ordered burial-ground. The full performance of the Church of England service. The respectful convey ance of the body to the place of burial, and whenever the removal of a body from the place of death may be desired, its care and safe custody in a house of reception until the time of burial. They wish these privileges not to be of an eleemosynary character, but the provision of the Church for the population, whether rich or poor, to be obtained by every one on application at the church of his parish, and on the payment of the lowest charges for which such services can be rendered.' " The board trust that they may receive your aid in their endeavour to carry out this important work in such a manner as to give the most general satisfaction. " It is probable that the board will require to be sup plied with information as to the extent of the parochial burying-grounds in your parish, the numbers interred in them, the total numbers of deaths in the parish, and other particulars which it may be in your power to fur fish; but cf these matters they will giro you early notice.—l have the honour to he, Rev. Sr, your moat obedient servant. ‘‘ HENRY AUSTIN, Secretary." DEATH OF WILLIAMS, THE CHARTIST CONVICT, FROM CHOLERA.— On Saturday evening a lung inquiry took place before Mr. Longhorn, the deputy-coroner for Westminster, at the Westminster House of Correction, concerning the death of Joseph Williams, aged 35, the well known Chartist convict, who died from en attack of Asiatic cholera. Mr. Tindall Atkinson, barrister, and Mr. Fetch, solicitor, of Northampton -stre e t, Hol born, attended on behalf of the friends of the deceased to watch the proceedings. There were also numerous friends of the deceased present, who appeared to take a deep interest in the inquiry. From the evidence of the various warders attached to the prison, it appeared that the deceased had been lately several times under medical treatment. On Tuesday he complained of pains in his head, and the resident surgeon prescribed for him. On the following moraing, between three and four o'clock, he was suddenly attacked with violent vomiting, purging, and cramps in his stomach. He was speedily removed to the infirmary, and the usual remedies being applied, he appeared to be going on favourably until Fri day morning, when he complained of pains in his back, and, at his request, his bed was re-made, but whilst in the act of being plsced in it, he fainted. Mr. Lavies, who had just left the prison, was instantly sent for, and on his arrival in about twenty minutes, he found the de ceased quite dead. Kirkham, one of the warders, stated that on the Ist of July the deceased was reported for repeated acts of disobedience, for which he was ordered to be locked up for three days, with a diet of bread and water. In answer to qu,stions by Mr. Atkinson, the witness said, that he discovered the de ceased in the act of secreting some letters behind the bedstead belonging to another prisoner in a different case. The letters were addressed to another prisoner in the same prison, who was also suffering imprisonment for a similar offence. Mr. Cree, the deputy -governor, said, one of the wardens, who had to give evidence was not in the prison, and would not return for some time. The Coroner said, the professional gentlemen and the friends of the deceased required a full investigation of all the facts concerning the deceased, and it would be advisable to adjourn until another day, for the purpose of affording time to procure the other evidence. The jury then consulted, and eventually adjourned the in quiry until Monday next. THE CHOLERA.—The advice given in the following handbill has been extensively adopted, and hitherto with good effect:—" At a time like the present, ys hen a fatal epidemic is at our doors, it is desirable that householders should be warned of the necessity of looking to the state of the sinks, drains, cesspools, waterclosets, &c., and that, as a means of prevention, those receptacles should be cleansed by pouring down them a solution of chloride of lime, and that this should be done simultaneously throughout the neighbourhood, in order to produce an effect on the public sewers. It is recommended that this mode of purifying be adopted between the hours of nine and ten on each Saturday morning. This plan has been carried out at Tottenham for some weeks past, and it is hoped with benefit, as nu case of cholera has occurred in that parish, nor are the cases of diarrhoea more frequent or severe than is usual at this season of the year. Chlo ride of lime may be had of any druggist. Two ounces is sufficient to be stirred into a pailful of water, and costs only one penny."

By adopting a good timber track, which may be fixed on the middle or side of the , road, without the least inconvenience to the public (but, on the con trary, be a great accommodation to the public using it, and thereby enjoying the easy motion consequent thereon), the perfect success of steam on common roads so provided appears to me to be indisput a bl e , and that a large profit may be realised, at th e c h arge of one halfpenny and one penny per mile.—T nomas MOTLEY, C.E., Stangate, Lambeth, 8 Eno. 29. NOVEL INVENTION FOR BOIL ERS OF STEAM-ENGINES. An experiment to test the powers of Wright's Patent Steam-Generator, in its application to the boilers of steam engines, was made on S atur d ay, at the premises of the inventor, in Great Suffolk-street, Borough, and the result was entireiy satisfactory. For years the great object of scientific men has been to endeavour by mechanical or other contrivances to generate the greatest amount of steam by means of a given quantity of fuel, and thus to di m i n i sh the cost of producing it, and to render it unnecessary for steam vessels to have a large space set apart for the stowage of coals ; but, singularly enough, all efforts in this direction have been attended with little success, al though during the last few years many considerable im provements have been effected in all that concerns the working of steam-engines. The invention of Mr. Wright consists of a simple, but, nevertheless, of a very in genious and beautiful arrangement, which appears to be entirely novel in its conception, and to be superior to any other that has originated in a desire to arrive at the same result. The principle consists in having two sets of tubes, or " cellular vessels," which are made of malleable cast-iron, and are hollow through out; one of which is placed between the fire and the boiler, and the other inside the boiler. These cellular vessels, which resemble a kind of iron net-work, having in them small holes or interstices, com municate with each other by means of bent tubes, and they are charged with compressed water, which, as it cannot evaporate into steam, does not require to be changed. As the flames from the fire can only touch the boiler, through the interstices, the water contained in the cellular vessels absorbs a great portion of heat, and, by becoming inferior in gravity, rises throu g h th e bent tube, and diffuses itself through the correspond ing vessels above. Having given off its excess of heat to the water inside the boiler, it decends by increased gravity through the bent tubes to get a fresh supply of heat, and thus a continuous current of water is kept up in the cellular vessels grid the tubes fact, THE APPROACHING LITERARY FESTIVAL. We do not remember there ever to have been brought together, on one occasion, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, such an amount of literary and public talent, as may be expected to gather round the standard of the North-West Sub-Union of Institutes, on the twenty-seventh of the present month. Never was Harrogate so honoured—so far lifted above its ordinary retiring character, as it will be at the approaching festival, when so many splendid specimens of the genius and spirit of the age— brought together from London, Birmingham, Man chester, Leeds, and Ripon—will advocate the claims and invest with a halo of glory the cause of mechanics' institutions. One good result ought to follow—and we hope it may—from this goodly gathering—wherein Genius, and representatives of the Church, House of Com mons, the political world, and the Press, meeting together for the accomplishment of one grand object, will reflect the aspect of the times and the necessi ties of society— we mean, a further breaking down of that ancient barrier of distinctions which, until now, has sundered the hearts and interests, as well as the mere position of the two great classes. Why, we ask, should men, simply because—like the rich man in the parable—they can clothe themselves in fine linen and fare sumptuously every day— withhold their countenance and support from a movement which, if rightly understood, affects themselves much more nearly than they are wont to suppose. We know very well the notion has for for some time prevailed that mechanics' institutions and dissent were one and the same thing—that mechanics' institutions and violent politics or rebel lion were the same thing differently expressed. But —thanks to the few holy and great men who have risen above the prejudices of faction, and come out boldly into the open arena of public opinion—these and all other such like estimates of mechanics' insti tutions, are dying out with the ignorance from which they sprung. Whatever may be said for or against such institutions in other respects—one thing must be conceded, that the intelligence, genius, zeal, philan thropy, and energy of the age are with them, and that amongst their best and most constant supporters are those who are doing more for the advancement of human nature—more for thegood of society as it now is, and for all time to come, than att ac h es it se lf to the bigotry of those who cavil at an agency they lack the spirit and good will to approve. As has already been stated, the arrangements in clude a very sumptuous dejeuner, which will take place at two o'clock, at the Queen's Hotel, and a grand soirée, at seven o'clock. The band of the Yorkshire Hussars it is expected will be obtained for both occasions. The chair will be occupied by the inimitable and celebrated George Cruikshank ; and amongst the distinguished literary and other gentlemen who will take part in the proceedings, may be found the names of Lord Viscount Goderich ; the Hon. and Very Rev. H. D. Erskine, Dean of Ripon • Charles Mackay, Esq., L.L.D., of L on d on Edward Baines, Esq., President of the "Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Institutes ;" George Dawson, Esq., M.A., of Birmingham ; Charles Swain, Esq., of Manchester; William Scholefield, Esq., M.P. for Birmingham ' • the 'Worshipful the Mayor of Ri pon , &c. Letters have also been received from the under mentioned eminent characters, all of whom regret their inability to be present :—the Right Hon. the Earl of Carlisle ; Lord Ashley ; Elihu Burritt ; Messrs. Robert and William Chambers ; Hon. W. S. Lascelles, M.P. ; Charles Dickens, Esq. (" Box ") ; Mark Lemon, Esq., editor of Punch ; the Very Rev. George Waddington, Dean of Durham; Andrew Lawson, Esq., &c. The list of stewards, now com pleted, includes—John James Harri son , isq , Doctors Bennett and Kennion, and John Richardson, Esq., of Harrogate ; William Williamson and James Norman, Esqs., of Ripon; Henry Myers, Esq., of Golds borough ; Robert Pollock, Esq., of Leeds ; William Melville Lomas, Eiq., of Wetherby ; and T. M. Beaumont, Esq., of Knaresborough. Delegates, we are gratified to learn, are being appointed to attend, not only from institutions in the sub union, but from some that are not within the district through which its operations extend. By many persons the day fixed is eagerly anticipated, and we doubt not but it will prove a glorious harvest for mechanics' institu tions. Tickets for the dejeuner cannot be had after the 20th inst., nor for the soiree after the 25th inst. We would observe that it is only two months since the sub union was established, and two very promising institutions, through its agency, ha ve already been established in Thorp Arch and Masham. On Monday next the foundation of a third will be laid in Tadcaster ; and in addition to these, Topcliffe, Bedale, and other places, are marked out to share the benefits of the secretary's missionary labours.— Harrogate Advertiser. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 6. Lady Portman and the Hon. Miss Portman had the honour of joining the Royal party at dinner yesterday eveniThe ng. Earl of Aberdeen took his departure. SEPT. 7. Her Majesty and the Prince, accompanied by the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Allred, went yesterday in a pony carriage to the Braemar meeting, to witness the Highland games. In the Royal suite were the Marchioness of Douro, the Hon. Miss Dawson, Miss Hillyard, Lord John Russell, Mr. Charles Greville, and Lieutenant• Colonel the Hon. Alexander Gordon. Lord John Russell and Mr. Charles Greville left Bal moral to day. Earl Grey is expected to arrive this afternoon, as Secretary of State in attendance upon the Queen. Lord Portman will have the honour of dining with the Queen this evening. Lord John Russell returned to Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park, on Saturday evening, from Balmoral. THE BRZEMAR GATHERING. BALLATIR, Fairumr.—This highland fete, which takes place annually, under the patronage of the Duke of Leeds, General Sir A. Duff, and Mr. Farquharson, of Invercauld, came off at Brmmar Castle, on Thurs day, with great eclat. Her Majesty was present. No sooner had the royal party arrived than the games were begun. The throwing of the heavy hammer commenced the proceedings. The first man who stepped forward succeeded in making an extraordinary cast, which none of the other competitors managed to equal. He was, of course, declared the victor. The hill race came next, and was the most exciting spectacle of the day, at least it had most attention bestowed on it. The total distance ran over was between 700 and 800 yards. A part of this was over the level holm, where an amazing degree of celerity was shown ; but the winning-post was a flag placed on the summit of a hill that overlooks the castle at an elevation of some 300 feet, the only accessible path being right up the side of the emi nence, which seems next thing to perpendicular, part of it being wooded as well. Here there was no running—the competitors seemed content to crawl on all fours. Donald M.Donald, a carpenter, was the first to reach the top. The time spent in getting there was 6i minutes. The knowledge of that cir cumstance has to be ascribed to Lord John Russell., After the start there was some disappointment ex pressed that no one had attended to noting the time. The Noble Premier relieved the prevalent uneasiness by communicating the information that he was looking at his watch for that purpose—an announcement which caused some hilarity and surprise. Dancing came next. Her Majesty, and those around her, repaired to the interior of the castle, where a number of light-heeled and nimble individuals exhibited their powers to the evident gratification of the party around. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—It is worthy of men tion that the late Mr. Justice Coltman ' at the time of his death, held 20,000/. of stock in the Great Northern line, 16,000/. of which was paid up. In his will he ex pressed a wish that this investment should be continued, and that the remaining 4,0001. should;be paid up. This circumstance strongly indicates that the lamented gen tleman had great confidence in the ultimate success of the undertaking.—Herapath's Journal. LIVERPOOL, SEPT.
