The duty of chronicling the dispersion of celebrated col lections formed by the high and noble of the land is one of the most painful offices forced upon the journalist. The re. flection arises from the recurrence of an event of this cha racter—the contents of Gore House, for some years residence of the Countess of Blessington (who has just retired o from this country with the view of taking " ordeal of future abode in Paris) being about to pass under the orea past of the the auctioneer's hammer. The artistic and of her Ladyship's mansion was well calculat ed con siderable interest among the higher classes, but we wera scarcely prepared to meet so numerous an assemblage of fashionable company as yesterday assembl e d within its walls for the purpose of viewing the contents, just now under in spection, preparatory to the sale which commences on Mon day next. literary to excite celebrity ainful to us in a There was something indescribab l y p contemplation of the scene, as we wandered through the saloons and noted here and there, the eager curiosity with which various little bijoux, each doubtless possessing claims of peculiar interest in the estimation of its owner, were caught up and examined by the spectators. Not to dwell, however, upon this unfortunate theme, let us give those who have not visited Gore House some indication of its contents. The architectural arrangement of the mansion is not con venient, but few interiors could be more tastefully fitted up. The furniture of the principal apartments is of the most:beau tiful description, and all the rooms display a perfect abund ance of works of art, with many of which the clever pencil of a distinguished Count has rendered the public familiar. The catalogue—itself a goodly quarto—will be perused with interest, and the history of many of the lots cannot fail to giv e an importance to their disposal. The collection of Sevres and old porcelain is unusally rare, and among the former are some magnificent specimens once in the possession of Marie Antoinette. The furniture of the Countess's bedchamber includes a very handsome carv e d bedstead, in white and gold, formerly belonging to the Empress Josephine, which was purchased at the sale of Malmaison. In this room hangs a picture representing the garden front of Gore House, with figures upon the lawn. As a work of art it will not bear criticism, but the portraits, though upon a very small scale, are admirable. Edwin Landseer is one of the principal figures ; the artist is seated, in the act of sketching a cow, while Lord Chester field and Count d'Orsay are looking over his shoulder. The Duke of Wellington, with the Countess of Blessington and the Misses Power, the beautiful nieces of her Ladyship, also figure in the picture. The collection of paintings in cludes many works of great interest, and some of high value. Among the latter we may quote Sir Thomas Lawrence's h satsr pTwri ini drahae celebrateddeeistetruoaooorfdniefnte portraitowhtt onehefareef seNosofuinteresting portrait arnrtotpmehgefoxeel Eier finest ayaanuo o nrsetirl f asenkrntdoas t h fethari e teißii onot C,l workstch: losebuals Belvidere yo t ndmi Countess, t ogs e htmt s haaao s elos , nvnt:bagt w o teg rbrloo h eleyferna ! rrtihstoe ometi icin h usr: a iaaasuae s sn; ant triumph, nye b ttNptlh e ei e i os, i pca l arboi egypta c psi iit o sdneo;tt n deteai t t l sketches by celebrated artists; Sir David Wilkie, Maclise, Landseer, and Winterhalter being among the contributors; the latter has a beautiful drawing of "The Sisters," (Misses Power), full of grace and effect.

Among the finished pictures worthy of notice is a " Portrait of a favourite Dog," presented to the Countess of Blessington by the King of Naples, in Edward Landseer's best style. The library contains nothing worthy especial notice, the books consisting almost exclusively of modern works, of which, however, there is a very large collection. The sale altogether extends over thirteen days, of which the last three are de voted to the library.—Atoi nine Post.

Wednesday last. The deceased went down to Kingroad to witness the departure of the Pomona for Trini dad, having supplied the vessel with sails. On returning homeward in the Samson tug, when near the Blackrock, which is between Pill and Bristol, a man on deck observed the deceased fall backwards into the engine, and im mediately gave an alarm; upon the engine being stopped and the body got out, he was not only dead, but so frightfully mutilated that he was scarcely recognisable. At the inquest Mr. King said he was in company with Mr. Hunter, and that deceased fell through a hole which had been made by some boards being lifted up which had covered the engine room ; and he supposed that Mr. Hunter must have been unaware of the circumstance. The captain of the vessel said that the hole was used as a means of giving light and air to the engineer, for the purpose of oiling the engine, &c., and that the cover was as frequently left up as down, and that no blame attached to the angineer, neither was the deceased's fall occasioned by any fault in the construction or management of the vessel. A pilot, who wit nessedwas the accident, said the deceased was sitting on the fence which surrounds the engince -house, and that the en gineerste to while down the being taken oft, after gy.

SIB _As the sa v i ngs ' b an k s of t hi s coun try will Probably occu the attention of the Legislature shortly I am induced to py offer a suggestion f or consideration, viz.: " That th e d epos i tors of every savings' bank should be l ega ll y empowered to hold an annual meeting for the purpose of electing an auditor or auditors on their own k behalf, unconnected with the trustees, directors, com mittee, or manager, and that such audit or s h ou ld be legally empowered to audit weekly all the transactions t of the bank, and to furnish a special report for the de• positora periodically as may be required." The adoption of such a course would not only prove satisfactory to those who are connected with the manage ment of savings' banks, but would materially tend to remove and eradicate any want of confidence on the part of those who are or ought to be depositors, and their operations would consequently be increased. The services of a responsible auditor could be secured by the depositors of every savings' bank at a very trifling charge, to be defrayed as any other expense of management. —Your obedient servant, Greenock, May . 1, 1849. B.A. THE LATE MURDER OF A HUSBAND AT BATH.— I3ATH, FRIDAY, MAY 4.—The inquest upon the body of Marchant was resumed at six o'clock, at the Guild Mrs. hall, w hich was again densely crowd ed. The prisoner, Harris, was still too ill to ad mit of her presence, but the two Shaylors, and the prisoner William Harris, were again placed in the dock. The evidence principally went to prove the existence of an intimacy between the wife of deceased and Harris some time before the death of deceased. The inquest was adjourned at half• past ten o'clock to Thursday next, and in the meantime the body of Harris's last deceased wife will be taken up. The prisoner Mrs. Harris continues so ill that some fears for her life are entertained. THE BENCHERS OF THE INNS OF COURT.—We understand that it is the intention of some members of the Irish Bar to p e tition for immediate admission to the English Bar. We have also been informed that the Benchers are disposed to anticipate the petitioners, and, in a spirit of wise liberality, to remove the impediments which prevent Irish barristers from being called to the English Bar.

(From Eliza Cook's New Weei'lly Journal.) The robin had been dumb nil day, the clouds were close and drear, The oak-leaf bent its wither'd lips to :kiss the dying year; The night was coming like a monk, in dark and hooded And winter's voice breathed dolefully its heaviest of sighs. My thoughts were sad as sad could be, and lone, and still, I gazed Upon the shadows as they fell—the red coal as it blazed; The room was bare—no forms were there—but memories went and came With love and sorrow chequered, like tho shadows and the flame. Oh! my young heart's tide of happiness had ebbed a wave too low, In that dim hour of twilight gloom, some ten years ago. Old merry Christmas was at hand, as constant as of yore, I counted those about me at the Christmas tide before. A m : if I missed some two or three, that ne'cr could come No iNoader that my bosom felt a gentle throb of pain. The twilight deepened murkily ;—I wept, but lo! there came A branch of holly falliro; from an ancient picture-frame, And as it shimmer'd at .my feet, all fresh, and green, and bright, It teemed to fill my drooping soul with music, mirth, and light. A key-note of Ride echoings that still around me flow, -- as that poor holly branch, that tumbled, ten years ago. conjured up with minstrel spell, a fair and men) , throng Of glad conceits, that found a voice and burst into a son; I poured out ballad lines of joy above the shining bough, While pleasure quickened every pulse, end danced upon my brow. I gave that song unto the world, with secret hope and fear, — I longed to try if I could win that world's broad, honest ear;— 'Twas done—applauding words of life came thickly on my way, And those who caught my holly leaves, flung back a sprig of bay; " We like your notes," the " people" cried, " come sing again" and so My " Christmas Holly" bound me to ye, ten years ago. Since then we've mingled cheerfully within our "House- hold Room," Ye've beard me sing " Old Dobbin's" worth, and tell " Old Pincher's" doom, _ _ Ye bailed me in my " Murray Plaid," and listened to my strain, When like a baby in a field I wove my" Daisy" chain; Ye took my simple " Old Arm Chair," ye knew it was a part Of Love's rich cedar tree, that Death had cut down in my heart: Ye smiled to see my " Old Straw Hat " laid by with earnest rhyme, And chorused when a " People's Song" awoke your spirit chime; Oh! many a changeful carol•lilt has knitted us I trow, Since first my " Christmas Holly" flourished, ten years ago. I bring ye now a posy bunch of varied scent and hue, And rather think " Forget Me Not," will anxiously peep through; True loyal hands to Nature's cause, have helped to pluck the flowers, And pray that ye will take them home to nurse i❑ eve ning hours. What say ye? will they gain a place upon the window sill? Have ye some household nook to spare, which they will serve to fill? And as ye took my sombre branch in midst of wintry gloom, Will ye as tenderly receive my bunch of spring-time bloom? Once safe beneath your sunny care, oh! how the leaves Will blow, And proudly crown the hope you gave me, ten years ago. Spring flowers are sweet in every place, we like to see them come OH upland sod, by roadside hedge, and round about our home; the monarch lady bears there 'mid the jewels on her breast, And Poverty will seek a bud to deck its tattered vest. Oh! take my . mingled offering.—l long to hear you say Ye like the simple blossoms which I place upon your way. Et is the lucid dew of truth, that gems each painted cup, 'Tis freedom gives the fragrance, and my heart strings tie them up; 0! take them " gentle reader," let my " spring flowers" live and grow With ye who reared my " Christamas Holly," ten years ago.

Painted by Mr. Solomon from a Daguerreotype. The original daguerreotype from which this ex quisite painting has been taken is in the possession of her Most Gracious Majesty. It presents the only veritable likeness of Mademoiselle Jenny Lind that has yet appeared; and the success of the artist has been greatly facilitated by the circumstance of his having been favoured with a sitting by that distinguished cantatrice, dur ing the course of its production. As a work of art the picture is singularly felicitous—as a likeness it is altogether inestimable, being nothing short of veri similitude. Its resemblance to the Swedish Nightingale is so vivid as to be absolutely ridiculous. It represents something more than an exact transcript of features and complexion—it conveys that expression which is as it were the shadow of the soul, and which in the instance of Jenny Lind renders her countenance peculiarly bewitching. Without having a single feature that can be called symmetrical excepting always her blue, limpid eyes — Jenny has, nevertheless, suffused over them all au air of such perfect goodness, and innocence, and sim plicity, that her face has a charm infinitely beyond that of mere beauty. Its sweetness is a fascination. This " expression " the artist has caught and has here realised with a truthful pencil upon his canvass. It is this which renders • the pre sent portrait the only true likeness of the glorious songstress yet produced. It has this additional excellence, moreover, that it has not the smallest vestige of affectation either in attitude, or treatment, or in any other particu lar. The position of the figure is, on the con trary, natural, and the whole appearance perfectly ladylike. Let the admirers, we had almost said the lovers of Jenny Lind (and that would include every one who has listened to her angelic voice, or who has heard of her equally angelic benevolence), be glad and rejoice--an engraving of this painting, taken from a daguerreotype, is now, we believe, on the very eve of publication. DOVER BAY AND BREAKWATER TU THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Ramsgate, April 17, 1849. Sin,—Your kindness in giving a place in your columns, in January last, to niv observations on the injury likely to arise to the Esplanade property at Dover, in consequence of the wasting away of the shingle now in the bay, induces me to solicit a similar favour to enable me to submit my opinions on. the harbour of refuge to the public; and, in order to bring the subject fairly under review, 1 have also to request your insertion of the accompanying correspondence with the Admiralty. The difficulties I have met with in endeavouring to bring the matter before Parliament, through the efforts of indivi dual Members, impel me to abandon that course, and to seek through the newspapers that publicity which the great im portance of the subject, in my estimation, demands. Having made the drift of shingle on the south-eastern coast my study for many years past, and having carefully ex amined all the localities between Beachy Head and Deal, where large deposits exist, and there effects on the adjacent harbours and mouths of rivers, I felt it my duty to address the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and to express, with all due deference to their Lordships, and to the many eminent men employed on the Refuge Harbour Commission, my deliberate conviction that the outline of the work approved of by their Lordships, for Dover Bay, and commenced upun last year, is planned in utter disregard of, and in direct op position to, the facts and to the principles involved in these facts, which are everywhere plainly discernible in the accu mulation of shingle on the northern shores of the English Channel. I have repeatedly entreated their Lordships to give me an opportunity of visiting the south-eastern coast, and of reason ing upon those facts, with any professional person their Lord ships might think proper to appoint; but my applications have been uniformly disregarded, and the Admiralty have, by their letter of the 9th March last, declared " that it is not their Lordships' intention to make any alteration in the plans upon which the works at Dover are proceeding ;"—a declaration which necessarily terminates the correspondence. As regards myself, I am perfectly indifferent to this de cision ; but in a matter of such national importance as the successful formation of a harbour of refuge, at a contemplatet t l cost of two millions and a half, on a site requiring the d m e, o as s careful application of the engineer's skill and knowledge, as admitted by the Commissioners, and all oth a e t r i practical of science, I must be permitted to s s further inquiry. close the door so peremptorily ac cordance with the usual practice of theaiubth.lic Dteparntomteinnt been rih e d ordinary enied t om e, andcourtesy I s h a o m w n r a e g t l a u o i c n t am t n almost a tiy every v on % r y p objections no longer this appeal, or tacitly to admit still entertaininventorhasforce;eervßeraynowbjhecicthionl have urged to their Lordships in fected agreeably to the present d demand to be heard. I applied to constructing publicly declare my deliberasetacino_nesviigcnti,own itlhlaetntthireewlyorfkallifapsera harbour of refuge. m o to o s hwhoe public u takeshlc press r a e n s s in terestfor of support in this just atsttempapyt two oobintadilnioninsqauhirdya; halfand r appeal what every em questions be uf the efil Housen ee ; applied Com to the public,who mu I conscientiously believe will be dearly purchased at two pence halfpenny. No man can deny that the shingle in its ordinary easterly drift will be obstructed by the new breakwater ; that it will begin to accumulate at its root, or junction with the shore ; that successive tides, storms, and years will augment the ac cumulation inconceivably ; such must be the case, and that in in great length of time the accumulation will reach the extremity of the new breakwater. \V hat then? A bar across the entrance to the harbour, with a furious sea breaking over it in every south-west gale, precisely when ships want to run for shelter ; and, worse than all, accessible only for ves sels of moderate burden, between half tide and high water. You may suppose, Sir, that I am not willing to peril the professional reputation I have acquired in a long service, and that I should be cautious of provoking inquiry upon light grounds. Most certainly ; but this is not a matter of opinion, it is a question of facts, capable of mathematical demonstra tion. I undertake to make those facts plain to any commit tee of inquiry, and to prove that the consequences I have pointed out will be the result of proceeding with the present ill-advised scheme. I entirely concur with the Commissioners in the expediency of establishing a refuge harbour in Dover Bay, and I think Captain Washington's evidence, published at pages 204-5 of the Appendix to the Report is conclusive in estahlithiug the goodness of the holding qualities of the anchorage, within - the . limits of the projected breakweers; bnt I am whotlykat issue with the Lords of the Admiralty as to the nature` of the harbour. Their Lordships have authorised the construction of a close harbour, connected with, or joined to, the shore by its eastern or western breakwaters. My firm conviction is, that no such harbour can be long maintained in an efficient state, and that any refuge harbour in Dovor Bay should be formed upon the principle of the breakw a t er in Plymouth Sound, so as to afford shelter to vessels anchoring within it, or running for the tidal harbour, but having free and ample space for the action of the waves to drift the shingle along the shore. I am aware that is not the practice of the London daily journals to print diagrams, but in order to give those who may be disposed to pursue the investigation, a clear understanding of my argument, 1 transmit herewith a sketch of Dover Bay, skill ing the projected harbour of refuge, copied from the plan appended to the Report of the Refuge Harbour Commission, on which sketch I have marked the probable, I might say certain, line of accumulation Of shingle, and the bar that must inevitably form across the entrance; and shall esteem it a great additional favour, if you will per wit that sketch to lay at your office for inspection. lam exceedingly atxious fur inquiry; common justice requires that it be conceded. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, S. H. WILLIAY.S, Lieut.-Colonel. late Royal Engineers.. (Copy.) liamsgate, Aug. 14, 1848. My Lords,—l respectfully beg leave again to s licit your attention to the representations contained in my letters to your Lordships, dated March 8, September 8, and Nov. 20, 1347, touching the formation of the national breakwaters at Harwich and Dover. In my letter of March 8 I expressed to your Lordships my firm conviction that the breakwater designed for Harwich would not only fail to realise the expectations of its projec tors, but that it would become detrimental to the existing navigation of the harbour, and I endeavoured briefly to ex plain to your Lordships the principles and the reasoning which induced me to form these conclusions. _ Your Lordships were pleased to state in reply that the sub ject should be carefully investigated. The original project was, however, persisted in, and the breakwater rapidly ad vanced to completion. Reports are in circulation that already serious doubts are entertained of its efficiency; that an idea begins to prevail that it may be necessary to take up a portion of the work so lately done; and that it will be adyiEable to construct a large groyne at Felixtow—information which betokens present failure, and no little degree of uncertainty as to what may be the result of the schemes. Permit me again to assure your Lordships that in what I urged in former letters, and feel bound now to repeat, lam not influenced by any vain idea of intuitive knowledge on such difficult questions, but having, after close investigation, discovered the true theory by which coast and channel har ' bours should be regulated, where drifts of shingle or sand prevail, I cannot retrain from evincing great anxiety that a theory so indisputable should be practically attended to in the cases under review, in which it appears to me manifest that the serious difficulties at each of those ports, arising from such drift, can only be overcome by a careful application of the principles laid down in my pamphlet. This theory has been before the public ten years, and its truth is univer sally admitted. I trust, therefore, your Lordships will excuse me when I reiterate my firm conviction that the harbours of refuge con structing at Harwich and Dover must fail, because the laws of nature have been utterly disregarded in the adaptation of the works to the features of the coast at both places. I believe that to be susceptible of the clearest demonstra tion; and had I been permitted to trace cause and effect at each place, in company with the officers to whom the Ad miralty has confided the execution of the projects, I have no doubt whatever that I should have been enabled by local evidence fully to establish the facts I contend for. The confidence your Lordships appear still to place in the judgment of others would have deterred me from this last effort to induce vou to pause, were it not that I entertained the most scrupulous belief of the soundness of my views, and an earnest desire to guard against a further expenditure of capital on works of so doubtful a character, and being of opinion that it is not yet too late to propose such modifica tions of the plans in question, particularly necessary at Dover, as would remove the objections urged against them by many men whose judgments are entitled to considerable weight, and are in accordance with my own. I hare the honour to be, my Lords, &c. S. H. WILLIAMS, Lieutenant-Colonel Royal Engineer& (Copy.) Admiralty, 25:h August, 1848. Sir,—Having laid before my L,rcli, Counnissior:ers of the Admiralty your letter of the 14th instant, 1 am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you that it is not considered advisable to make any changes in the plan on which the works at Harwich and Dover are proceeding. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) 11. G. WARD. Lieut.- Colonel Williams, , R. E., Ramsgate. (Copy. ) Ramsgate, sth February, 1849. Sir,--As the letters I have had the honour to address to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, expressing my fears that the harbour of refuge now constructing in Dover Bay will disappoint their Lordship' expectations, and prove a failure, have been brought under your notice in the ordi nary routine of business, ant are accessible for reference, any repetition of the contents of those letters is unnecessary, but I am induced to ask you to give the subject your early and special consideration for the following reasons. The tenor of their Lordships last communication, dated 28th of August, in reply to my representation of the 14th August, 1848, precludes mo from further official corre spondence. There has been no attempt to deny the accuracy of my investigation, nor to show that my deductions are invalid, and firmly believing the former to be perfectly sound, and the latter to be susceptible of strict proof, and, moreover, that I.ean fully substantiate every head of my argument, I feel it a positive duty to take such steps as may appear best calcu lated to bring my views to the test of public opinion. The Board has hitherto declined my offers to meet any . . professional person or persons they might think proper to appoint to examine and discuss the subject, and by their re fusal have left me only the painful alternative of preserving silence on a question of great national importance, whilst impressed with the most profound conviction that he truth on my side, or of appealing to the highest tribunal in the kingdom. 1 cannot but feel that an unusual course has been pursued towards me in refusing all inquiry, more particularly as the Admiralty is aware of the attention I have given to this dif ficult subject, and has had under deliberation the opinions of others well qualified to judge of the manner in which I have treated it. am desirous. therefore, with all possible courtesy, of stating to you that it is my present intention to request a talented Member of the House of Commons to move for an inquiry into the expediency of proceeding with the harbour of refuge at Dover, unless the Admiralty shall be pleased to sanction the employment of a competent engineer, to hear my evidence, to view the coast, and to report for their Lord ships' information. Allow me to suggest that Mr. Robert Stephenson be re quested to undertake these duties. I will meet Mr. Stephen son alone, or in conjunction with Captain Washington, R.N., and if their repoit should negative my allegations, 1 will abide by it, and consider my of finally disposed of. The inspection and report may be completed in a week, and surely the trifling expense of such a Commission should be no obstacle to its appointment, when it must be borne in mind that the outlay of hundreds of thousands may be affected by its recommendations. I have lied personal communication with two of the mem bers of the Commission appointed by the Treasury minute of 2d of April, 1844. Both . admit the truth of my theory on the accumulation of shingle, where the free passage of it is impedtd, and on its ordinary easterly drift in the Channel. But how do these gentlemen get rid of the dilemma in which they are placed by such admissions? One sass—" True, at the back (to the westward) of the breakwater there must be an accumulation of shingle, and though it may follow the pier for a certain distance, it will ultimately be lost in deep water and pass away." The other Commissioner says— " When the accumulation of shingle approaches the end of the breakwater, a horn must be built, to take the drift in another direction." In each of those opinions there is an admission of the pre mises I contend for, but in neither is the extent of the evil foreseen. The conclusion is erroneous—the remedy worse than the disease. Both views, as to what must infallibly happen, are obscure ; manifest a very superficial acquaintance with the causes which give rise to, and govern the drifts of shingle on the coast, and evince a disregard of the facts as they exist, and may with care be traced. Again, what becomes of the shingle when it reaches the South Foreland, is a question frequently asked. I believe a satisfactory explanation can be given, and I shall be pre pared to offer one suggested to my mind by local observe- lions whenever the subject shall be fully gone into. surely it is advisable to take the highest professional opi nion in the kingdom upon the points at issue, and I respect fully solicit you to move their Lordships to authorise the inquiry I now pray for. It is far from my wish to cause her Majesty's Government any embarrassment, and I cheerfully take the course of first appealing to you—a step suggested to me by a naval officer of rank and eminence in his profession, but who also thinks it will be imperative upon me to bring the whole subject under the notice of Parliament, it the proposal herein submitted, should be declined. 1 have the honour to be, Sir, &c., S.
