The reason for my doing thus, I'll candidly confass; I have a something to discuss Concerning M. and S. Moses and Son, I often say, A world-wide fame have got; Now tell me in a ready way, • - Whether they have or not ? And tell me also, I insist, Thou venerable ball, Where Moses' equals may exist, If they exist at all ? I need not wait for your reply, I know what it would be— " The name of Moses, ranked so high, Is spread o'er land and sea. "No equals to these men I know, No flag is so unfurled ; I speak ,the truth in saying so, As sure as I'm a world. " Since first mankind adopted dress, There never was attire 'To equal that of M. and S., For whom you touch the lyre.

Th a widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and near relative of mis e, has used them—very rarely having re course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think that, perhaps, there Is scarcely any other of the many patent medi cines before the pub'lic: of equal value as a friend in need ;' certainly none possessed of superior claims.

BIRMINGHAM, JULY 26.--At Gloucester market on the 23d wheat was fully 15 per quarter cheaper. At Worcester, same day, lower prices were not generally submitted to. Barley unaltered. Oats maintained their value, and on beans and peas the turn was in favour of the seller. This week the wet weather has given firmness to the trade, and some wheat has changed hands at rates which could not previously Ise obtained. Heavy grinding barley inquired for, and but little offering. Our stocks of oa's being reauced very low, they are taken for consumption at quite as high rates. Beans generally held for an advance, with which buyers will not comply. No transac tions reported in peas. At this day's market there was a large supply of NN heat from the farmers, and the trade ruled dull at the currency of this day se'nnight. We had a fair demand for heavy grinding barley. Oats rather dearer. Jeans unaltered. Peas inquired for, and few offering. BitisroL, JULY 2.6.—The weather for the last few days has been broken, anti with occasional heavy rains. Should these continue, of which there is every present appearance, it might prove very prejudicial to wheat and potatoes, though benefi cial to barley, oats, and other spring crops generally. In the interval of this day week sales of wheat have been at a depres sion of Is to 2s per quarter, but which is to-day fully re gained, and we note both English and foreign, with moderate supplies, very firm at the prices of this day se'nnight. At this day's market English new wheat fetched 40s to 48s per imperial quarter ; foreign wheat white, 59s to 53s per 4801bs; ditto, red,fine qualities, 46s to 48s; ditto, ordinary, 415 to 445; ditto, hard, 37s to 40s. Flour is in better sale than for some weeks past, and prices well supported. aeoonds, 33, t 0355 per sack; American, sweet, 24s to 26s pee barrel.' In barley, oats, beans, and pea s we have but little passing. Barley, English malting, 273 to 30s per imperial quarter;. ditto, .and foreign grinding, 21s to 25s per 4001 b ; oats, Devon and Welch 18s to 19s per imperial quarter ; Irish, white, 20s to 21s per 3201 b; ditto, black, 17s 6d to 18s 6d per imperial quarter ; beans, English, 30s to 36s per imperial quarter ; foreign, 26s 61 to 30s per 4801 b. The arrivals for the week have been—wheat, foreign, 4,094 quarters, coastwise, 66 quarters; oats, 65 quarters, and 4,003 barrels ; barley, 9 54 quarters ; flour, 531 sacks, 120 barrels. The averages are—wheat 37s 9d; oats, 19s 3d ; barley, 21s 6d ; beans, 375. LOUGHBOROUGH, Juts 26.—T0-day there was a better supply of wheat from the farmers, and prices ruled about the same as last week'; in spring corn there was no alteration.

Those from the North were but comparatively few ; the number of animals from Rotherham, and other parts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Leicestershire were of a fair pro portion, but the demand was exceedingly flat, and very high priecs were asked, in some ins'ances more than 6d per lb ; the number left on hand was very considerable, entirely owing to the high price which was asked for them. The supply of sheep and lambs was tolerably good, with little or no alteration in the price. Fat and store calves were plentiful. There were several lots of bacon and porket pigs shown in the market which appeared to be in good request for the season. Beef, 5d to 51d ; mutton, 41c1 to 5d ; lambs, 17s to 215; veal, 4d to 5d per lb ; pigs, 8s 6d per score. Rough fat, 3s 6,1 p er s t one of 141bs.

Tinder a continuance of fine weather, trade ruled dull since our last, and prices in buyers' favour. This day's market was thinly attended, and the in quiry was sloW for any article; yet the sales effected were at, or close to, last Wednesday's curreacy, hardly admitting of a quotable change in prices.

We gave yesterday a brief account of the ceremony of the laying of the first stone of Portland Breakwater, by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on Wednesday last. We now subjoin thn following interesting details, abridged from the Poole and Dorsetshire Herald:— As soon as it was publicly announced that his Royal Highness Prince Albert had abandoned his intention of going by water to Portland, and that ho had resolved on proceeding thither by the London and South-Western Railway, to Dorchester, and from thence to Weymouth, meetings of the town council and the inhabitants of the ancient and loyal borough of Dorchester, were held, to devise the best means. to be adopted for the reception of his Royal Highness. A loyal and dutiful address was prepared by the mayor and town council. Even before daylight the inhabitants were disturbed from their slumbers, by the arrival into the town of vehi cles of all descriptions, wending their way to Weymouth; and merry peals from the bells of St. Peter and Fording ton Churches were heard at an early hour, and conti nued at intervals throughout the day. The national colours floated from the church towers, and flags were suspended from the windows of several of the inns and private houses, which were tastefully decorated with flowers, laurels, &c. The Dorchester band paraded the streets, playing lively and loyal airs. The arrangements at the railway station were excel lent, and the whole was very prettily decorated; crimson cloth was laid down on the platform from the royal car riage to the steps of the outer door of the station-house. A triumphal arch was thrown over the entrance-gate to the station, on the top of which was furmed a crown, and other appropriate devices, beneath which was the word " Welcome;" and a splendid standard floated in the breeze opposite the station. door. A row of waggons was judiciously placed by the com mittee in the station-yard for the accommodation of the public. At half-past six a number of special constables arrived for the purpose of keeping order, and at ten o'clock the Melbury troop of the Queen's Own D.Y.C. took up their position in front of the station, and the Dorset Militia immediately followed. The Worshipful the Mayer and Town Council, with their officers, and several of the clergymen of the town in their gowns, met at the station to receive his Royal Highness. At half-past ten it was announced that the train was in sight, and immediately on his Royal Highness leaving the royal carriage he was received with loud huzzas b . y the vast concourse of spectators, the band playing the National Anthem. The Mayor (C. Arden, Esq.) then read the address of the inhabitants of Dor chester, which his Royal Highness graciously received and appropriately acknowledged. He then entered the carriage amidst the renewed plaudits of the assembly, and the waving of handkerchiefs by the fair sex, and proceeded to Weymouth, escorted by the Melbury troop of the Queen's Own D.Y.C., under the command of the Earl of Ilchester. At Monkton Gate, about two miles from Dorchester, a handsome triumphal arch was erected, on which was a scroll with the words " Welcome to Prince Albert from Herringstono Howe." This arch was surmounted by a crown composed of choice flowers, and a number of flags were stretched across the road. At the bottom of Ridgeway-hill was another arch, and at Upway was one with the words " Welcome to Prince Albert—Lorg life to the Queen." At the entrance to Weymouth was another with a titnikr inscription, and by the statue of George 111. was a treble arch. The Prince was throughout the whole course most warmly greeted, and on his arrival at the King's Stairs, the place of embarkation, was received by Captain Frampton's troop of the Queen's Own D.Y.C., under the orders of Lieutenant Williams; a large concourse of persons giving three most hearty cheers. Oa his Royal Highness alighting from the carriage, the address of the corporation of Weymouth was read by F. C. Steggall, Esq., the town clerk, and the same was presented, when the Prince made the following re ply to the address:—" It was with much pleasure that I acceded to the memorial which was forwarded to me from you. An undertaking of such great national im portance as the building of a breakwater, which was to form a harbour for the protection of the royal and mer cantile navy, could not have failed to attract my atten tion, and I snort willingly availed myself of the wish generally expressed, that I should, by laying the founds tion-stone, identify myself with this great work. Isbell not fail to communicate to the Queen the loyal wishss contained in your address, for the health and happiness of her Majesty." His Royal Highness, accompanied by the equerries in waiting, Colonel Phipps and Colonel Seymour, then en tered the royal barge, and were promptly rowed on board the Victoria and Albert, which was in waiting immediately outside the harbour. On his Royal High ness arriving at Weymouth, royal salutes were fired from the ships in the bay, and on his progress through the fleet, yards were manned and royal salutes again fired. The mayor (A. Lithgow, Esq.), alderman, coun cillors, and revising assessor Pothecary, as well as seve ral of the magistrates of the county, then went on board the Vulcan, revenue steamer, commanded by Lieu tenant Pritchard, placed at their disposal by Admiral Sir T. Capel, on the breaking down of the steam. packet they had hired, and proceeded to the island, where the arrangements by Mr. Goode were most complete, and carried out most efficiently, notwithstanding the thou sands congregated. The guard of honour consisted of Captain Erskine, 2 lieutenants, 4 serjecnts, 2 drummers, and 80 rank and file, together with the band of the Royal Marines, from Gosport. The saluting battery was composed of 80 men of the Marine Artillery. The liner of the projected breakwater was marked out by boats with colours hoisted. Six hundred Portlanders were drawn up in order of procession, with favours in their hats. His Royal Highness on arriving at the platform, the band playing the National Anthem, was received by Admiral Capel and the engineering staff of the break water, by whom the works were explained. The first business here was the presentation of the address from the inhabitants of the Royal Manor of Portland. Captain Manning, her Majesty's Lieutenant, presented the loyal and dutiful address (containing 500 signatures) from the inhabitants of the Royal Manor of Portland. The Captain received his Royal Highness on landing, and headed the deputation, consisting of the civic authorities of the Royal Manor. On the conclusion of this address, His ROYAL flionNEss said—l thank you sincerely for the address which you have just presented to me. The work of which I am about to lay the foundation-stone, whilst it is of great national importance as forming a secure harbour of refuge for ships of the royal navy, and for merchant vessels freighted with the commerce of the whole world, will, I trust, be also of especial service to this neighbourhood by increasing its trade, and spread ing employment among its labouring population. Her Majesty the Queen in passing along this coast has al ways viewed the Isle of Portland and the town of Wey mouth with particular interest, from the associations connected with it. The ceremony of laying the foundation-stone D of wasthe proceeded with, the Rev. . Hogarth, rector Port land, commencing with a short prayer; and the Lord's Prayer and Benediction followed. o . x v e p r e e n i e g The fi Princeven shillinge td p e Q o e s e i: deposited l a ( e s roovvre shilling,n f- s . n in gold, fourpen l ce, threepence, in twopenny pieces in silver, and nr-epnercien';,ndfarthing, and g caoppepnenr,r;n4l'a bottle prese re n d ted de h p i o m sit h e y d bottle was ne xt storPe cavity filled with cement, .and a plate fastened ove r i t, con taining the following inscript i on:— " On the 25th day of July, A.D., 1849, in the 13th year of the reign of her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Vic toria, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, K.G., &c., de. posited this stone, to record the commencement of the Portland Breakwater. James Meadows Rordel, engi neer-in-chief. John Coode, resident engineer!" The Prince, in depositing the bottle, remarked the stone was a fine specimen of Portland stone; on which Mr. Rendel informed his Royal Highness that it was se lected on the top of the island, from blocks refustd by the merchants. The Prince then made a few remarks, and the stone, which was suspended, was ordered by the Prince to be dropped, and it fell to its resting place with a tremendous splash, amidst the roar of arthery, and three cheers' for the Queen. The band immediately struck up Rule Britannia, and some loads of loose stone were deposited around the foundation-stone. Prince Albert was then immediately conducted to the trianroad, and, with his attendants, Lord Frederick Fitzelarence, the engineers' staff, Colonel Jebb, the Corporation of Weymouth, and some others who assisted at the ceremony, conveyed up the inclines to the prison, the Prince stopping to inspect the drums by the aid of which the ascent had been made. Between the inclires the carriages were drawn by parties of the contractor's labourers. The Royal party then minutely inspected the prison and all its eccompanimente, his Royal Highness fre quently making particular inquiriee respecting the vari ous matters falling under his notice. Culonel Jebb and Captain Whiny affording him every information. At the house of the governor a guard of honour of the 77th (the regiment doing duty here) was drawn up to receive the party, and the Prince, together with a select party, amon gs t w h om were Lord F. Fitzetarence, the Earl of Ilchester, Colonel Jebb, and Captain Whitty, partook of lunch eon , t h e v i ands being sent from London by Gunter. At the repast one of the puddings so much liked by George 111., and also one of t h e Q ueen ' s puddings, were presented to his Royal Highness, together with a letter, giving a history of the puddings, from Mrs. Winter, the original maker of them for royalty. From the refreshment table the Prince inspected the works of the chapel, where another address was pre chaplain to the p s e e n n t t e o d n t v o il tim pri b s y on t , he R the nT ß . e j v . . l J C. . iti ll g . sni M il o l' ran, chaplain of this prison, being in a delicate state of health. The stone of the chapel was laid at hal-past eight o'clock in the morning, by Colonel Jebb, in the pre sence of all the convicts, whom he addressed, and a prayer was read by the Rev. James Kingsmill. All parties returned to the breakwater platform, his Royal Highnes immediately embarking in the Royal yacht and proceeding to Weymouth, and by the same route as in the morning, back to Osborne House. His Royal Highness returned from Weymouth to the Dorchester station about a quarter before four, escorted by the Dorchester troop of Queen's Own D.Y.C. He re mained at the station for halt an hour, waiting the arrival of the train which was then due, during which time the band played appropriate airs, and the assembled multi tude rent the air with frequent acclamations, which the Prince very graciously acknowledged. The weather throughout was very unpropitious, a great deal 01 rain having fallen at various times; yet, notwith standing this, the whole proceedings passed off with great éclat. The day wound up with a ball at Lace's Hotel, and a grand display of fireworks. There were in the bay, in addition to the vessels of her Majesty's navy, the Fanny, Admiralty yacht; the Vic toria, Defence, and Rob Roy, revenue-cruisers; which, with numerous coast-guard boats, were under the com mand of Captain Kerr, the inspecting commander of the coast-guard of the district. Amongst the numerous yachts we observed the Capricorn,— Talbot, Esq., M.P.; Unicorn, Perkins, Esq ; Mischief, R. S. Wardell, Esq., belonging to the the Bonita ' Colonel Freestun, M.P., of the R.V.Y.C.; the serpent, Lord C. Paget; the Lady of the Lake, W. Rolph. Esq., of the R.T.Y.C.; also the Contest, Cochrane, Esq ; the Dream, and Clutha, THE BREMZWATER. The project of establishing a breakwater at Portland to form a large harbour capable of accommodating the whole navy of the kingdom, in nearly a central point of the English Channel, was first entertained as lonT.; since as 1794, by Mr. John Harvey, who was appointed me chanic to his Majesty George 111., and subsequently postmaster of Weymouth. This gentleman, from his first conception of the plan, was unceasing in his ex ertions to cause it to be adopted, and took every oppor tunity of laying his plans before the various Governments and influential parties of the kingdom, and failed not to point out the local advantages of there being on the spot a sufficiency of stone for the purpose (the waste cap stone), without the labour of quarrying it. His idea of the advantages to be derived from his proposal, from his first suggestion to the time of his death, November 6, 1829, became steadily strengthened, and he watched with jealous eye the progress made with the atupendou; structure of the same kind in course of construction on the opposite coast of France (at Cherbourg), and he thought a similar work should be carried out at Port land, to counteract any national effect to which that on the opposite coast might have a t-ndency. The loss of Admiral Christian's fleet in 1793 induced him still more closely to consider the subject, amend his plans, and publish his views in a pamphlet. Mr. Harvey died without having been able to induce the Government to take up the matter, although no in dividual could have been more energetic in his exertions for a national undertaking. Ile, however, left a son (Mr. John Hervey, the present postmaster of Wey mouth), to whom ho confided the charge of the break water project, and by whom the subject has been ener getically advccated. Mr. John Harvey, jun. (we will now call him Mr. Harvey), in 1834 succeeded in getting the little book written by his father, entitled, " Remarks, 84c , on the subject of a Breakwater for Portland Roads," with additions by himself, referred to the con sideration of the Navy Board, and in the July of that year a memorial was presented to the King upon the subject, signed by 687 inhabitants and merchants of Portland. The attention of the ruling powers was, by various means, at last roused to the necessity of the establish ment of capacious harbours of refuge for our increasing naval and mercantile marine, and more especially 2o in consequence of recommendations in a report to the House of Commons, of a Select Committee, appointed to inquire into the shipwreck of British vessels, and the preservation of the lives and property of ship wrecked persons, tbat in the early part of the year 1844, ten naval commissioners, Admiral Sir Byam Martin, G C. 8., acting as chairman, were appointed to make inquiries as to what were the most eligible sites in the Channel for such purports. The points for their consideration were, facility of access, fitness for an ex tensive station of the largest armed vessels, with facili ties for ensuring its defence, in the event of an attack by an enemy. These various advanta g es are nowh ere better combined than at Portlan t l. The Commissioners, in their report, state— " A squadron stationed at Portland will have under its protection, jointly with Dartmouth, all the interven ing coast; and these places with Plymouth will complete the chain of communication and co-operation between Dover and Falmouth, a distance of 300 miles. "There is everything at Portland to render the con struction of a breakwater easy, cheep, and expeditious; and the holding ground in the roads is particularly good. It has numerous springs, and plenty of the best water may be led in any direction for the supply of ships. The roadstead also possesses the advantage of an inner harbour at Weymouth." The report recommends that a breakwater— "Be constructed in Portland Bay, to extend a mile and a quarter in a north-east direction, from near the north part of the island, in about seven fathoms water, having an opening of 150 feet at a quarter of a mile from the shore, sheltering an area of 1,200 acres. ‘. The island of Portland possesses great natural ad vantages for defence, and for the formation of a naval and military depot during war, to any extent that may be required." Subsequently the erection of a harbour at Portland was determined upon, the necessary surveys were made by well qualified engineers, and on the 4th of December, 1846, public notice of the same was given, and also that the plans decided on by her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests were deposited with Mr. C. Hinde, Reforne, Portland. A Bill was introduced into Parlia ment, entitled the " Portland Harbour of Refuge and Breakwater Bill," and which, having passed successfully through its various stages, received the Royal assent on the 11th of May, 1847, and preparations were immedi ately made to carry out its provisions. The national advantages of the projected breakwater are conceived to be, that it will afford ample protection, be accessible at all times, and in all weathers, to vessels of any size, and in immense numbers, as there will be made a secure harbour, with deep water for a space of four square miles in extent. A fleet of sixty sail of the line will bo able to lie secure in the roughest weather, the anchorage for the most part consisting of a strong blue clay, and they might get out to sea at the shortest notice. The central situation of the harbour—midway between Portsmouth and Plymouth—would, as Mr. Harvey justly remarks, " form a most effective counter action to the naval armaments of Cherbourg," from which port it is situate only 21 leagues, E.N.E. mid-channel, in fine clear weather, a vessel cancom mand a sight of Cape La Hogue and Aldeorfn on Wight th e on French side, and of Portland and the I s the English. A fleet here stationed would cnil e I d f h a tiv ag e squadron ruonn controlled sweep of the English Channel. in war time should put to yesfrom Cherbourg, intelli gencecould be conveyed to Portland (by look-out vessels of the circumstance stationed at certain distances act os s the channel), hour and a half, or even in a l ess period, as, within an the a d va ntages we now posse ss of steam, their intention to wei g h could be kno wn at Portland be fore fore they could get to sea. T here is no other good roadstead between Plymouth and spithead, a distance of 140 m il es, in which large s hips could obtain shelter; hence it would be the mea ns of preventing many shipwrecks, very numerous cases being recorded los=es of men-of-war and Indiamen, which would not have occurred had there been a good and accessible harbour at Portland. Amongst these may be named the Halsewell, on the 6th of January, 1786, when 330 lives The A bergavennyFebruary, • in l 805 when near o ves were lost. oo lives w ere l ost. The losses in Admiral Christian's fleet, with a le rge convoy, in 1795, when eear 1,500 lives were sacrificed.

This lady had tha followingieTter inserted in the "Times" news_ paper on Aug. 7, 1846.. Reader, remember, this letter was put int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.

There will, in fact, be two breakwaters, one joined to the north-east corner of the island, about half a mile from Portland Castle, and of which the first stone was this day hid, will be 1,500 feet in length, tateleg a d ue direction from west to east. There will be from the end of this a clear opening of 400 fees, and from thence there will be another line of breakwater 6,000 feet in length, bearing from southwest to north-ease The eastern end of the small, and both ends of the large breakwater, will be terminated by massive circular heads of finished masonry. The breadth of the breakwater at the ton, 10 feet above high water mark, will be 23 feet 6 inches. The average height (varied according to the depth of water) will be about 260 feet. The average depth from high water merk will be about 7 fathoms, or 42 feet. Below water mark the stones, varying in size from rubble to blocks of 10 or 20 tons weight, will be merely loosely deposited, and left to fit together as best they may, but above this they will bo fitted together. It is not yet decided whether this part shall be of finished masonry with an esplanade or not. For the work under the slater the stone most early precurable will be used, and thus an immense quantity of the hitherto useless capstone will be most edvautageously disposed of, but for the finished work the atone will be quarried in the neighbourhood of the prison. At the starting point of the breakwater a space of considerable extent has already been reclaimed from the sea, principally by stone, removed for the purpose of constructing the railway, and here the lines of tell are very numerous, and some excellent turn-tables for the ! trucks are arranged. The materials will from this point .be carried out is the trucks (which deposit their load by merely moving a lever at the bottom), running on a massive framework, formed of timbers of considerable size. This framework will be supported by piles fixed into the ground, on the plan of Alexander Mitchell, Esq., mereber of the Institute of Civil Engineers, viz.; —the piles have at their lower extremity, a broad plate or disc of metal of a spiral form, on the principle of the screw, the latter enters the ground with facility, t t e h r r i u ,, s li t y ing di a s s t i u d r e bng any i otbhsetactelexstuinre of itsdestcheent,stwraitta passedhoutma through, whilst the - disc or broad spiral flange, when it has entered a clay 'or sandy bottom, resist either up ward or downward pressure. On this framework,, there are, we understand, to be six lines of rails. The stones for the outer breakwater will be deposited in the same manner as those for the Plymouth break water were, by layers with rails down on them. Tee time which will be occupied in the construction of the breakwater is variously estimated at from Eve to seven years. Years The principal officers engaged are i—Enginoer-i n - c hi e f , James Meadow Rendel, Esq., F.R.S.; resident en g i neer, John Coode, Esq.; assistant engineer, Mr. Poppleton; contractors, Messrs. J. and C. Rigby. The railway and inclined pique is from the prison to the site of the breakwater. It was commenced on the 11th of August, 1847, and is a work of considerable mag nitude, there being four lines of rails, and the upper part of the railway is for some distance cut through the solid stone, which in the levier parts was used to form an em bankment. It consists of three inclined planes, with level portions between each. The railway is continued to the north eastern part of the island to Castletown, the pre sent landing-place, and principal place of shipping stone. The length of this railway, from the Grove to the com mencement of the breakwater, is 6,300 feet; the top and bottom incline fall one foot in ten, the middle one is rather less steep than this. The trucks when loaded with stone by the convicts, are brought to the top of the first incline by horse labour; here they are weighed, for the purpose of ascertain ing the exact quantity of stone used in the con struction of the breakwater. The machines for this purpose are self-registering, and in addition to showing the weight ou the fac e o f th e di a l, w ill exh ib it the num ber of waggons that have passed over it during the day. The machines, the first of the kind brought into opera tion, are constructed by Messrs. Napier, of Lambeth. The loaded trucks are let down the inclines by the aid of wire ropes, attached to drums 12 feet in diameter, and weighing upwards of 11 tons each, the loaded trucks ire their descent drawing up empty trucks on a parallel line of railway ; the speed is regulated by very powerful screw breaks, each screw worked by one man, possess ! ing a power of seven tons. The whole length of rope in use for the three inclines, each with No double lines of rails, is about four miles. A considerable number of convicts will be employed in the construction of the breakwater. „For tbeir accom modation a large and commodious model prison is in course of erection, on a barren, though most healthy part of the island, called the Grove. The work was commenced in January, 1848. Mr. Crickway, the intelligent clerk of the works, was the first person on the ground, and he arrived to make his preparations in December, 1847. Such has been the ex pedition (during some part of last summer as many as 1,300 men were employed on the prison, and the railway from thence to the breakwater), that, in addition to the residences before named and the boundary wall, one half the intended number of cells is complete, forming a I very extensive building This is divided into four cor ridors, and is capable of accommodating 700 convicts. Another wing, precisely similar, is to be erected; but it is thought it will not be commenced until next year, as by some alterations in the present wing and in a building now used as workshops, accommodation will bo secured for 200 more convicts. The buildings of the whole establishment are princi pally constructed of wood and iron, that they may be removed elsewhere, if required, on the completion of tshe breakwater. The cells (tor one man) are 7 feet long by 4 feet wide, and 7 feet high, ranged on four floors, and open into spacious halls, so arranged as to be under in spection from a central corridor, where the officers are stationed. The prison is occupied by 510 convicts, the greater part of whom (that is, all that are able) are kept fully employed—some in quarrying —others squaring and pre paring stone—others making new roads and laying down rails for the conveyance of the stone to the inclined plane by which it will be sent to the site of the breakwater. It is anticipated that, in the course of a few days, a suffi cient number of convicts will be seat down to occupy every cell prepared for them. The water tor the supply of the prison is pumped up near Folly pier—upwards of a mile distant, 350 feet below the level of the prison, and conveyed thence by pipes in sufficient quantity to give an ample supply for every purpose of the prison. Salt water for the baths is brought from a still lower depth. There are now 180 masons and other free labourers employed, and others are being taken on to expedite the operations, su that all the work now in hand will be finished before the close of the year. The works now to be erected in connexion with the convict establishment aro a chapel, the foundation-stone of which was laid by his Royal highness Prince Albert; it will be quite plain, of a uniform shape, 112 feet long from east to west, and 90 feet from north to south, ca pable of accommodating 1,000 persons; barracks for 100 men, and cottages for 32 wardens and their families. About 30 soldiers now stationed here occupy the in firmary, and are weekly relieved from the Weymouth barracks. At the head of the prison establishment aroSurreyor- General of Prisons Lieut.

PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO THE PRISON.—IBILBe• diately alter the ceremony his Ruyal Highness proceeded to view the extensive works on the heights, when he pre sented a Bible and prayer-book to the establishment, with this inscription: — "Presented to the chapel of the convicts at Portland, as a token of interest, and in hope of their amendment. " Portland, July 25, 1849." " ALBERT." They would have been presented to the chaplain, the Rev. J. 11. Moran, but for the illne3s of the reverend gentleman. ___ The officers of the establishment, Captain Whitby, Governor; the Rev. J. H. Moran, Chaplain; Dr. Hen derson, &c., had the honour of being presented by Colo nel Jebb to his Royal Highness. During his visit Prince Albert astonished an old convict by telling him that the Queen bad sent him a pardon. It had been previously arranged that the old man, whose conduct had been such that he had been recommended for a pardon, should be almost alone. Nothing could exceed his sur prise and joy when he received from her Majesty's Consort the gracious message of his S-,vereign. firs name is Richard Gomer, and it is intended, we believe, the works. appoint him to a n o ffi ce o f t rus t connected with works. Thomas Wood, Glue-liirorks, Ilornslet, Leeds, proposes that all ships sent out in search of Sir John Franklin should be furnished with small boats, and each small boat to be tarnished with an engine of six or the dans facehi inch c u h l o d lfo t tnh h ge eight-horse power, and each boat to hays four carriage wheels connected thereto, and when the ships have Davi. gated as far as possible for them to do for the ice, then e a s i r e t e i e n ; r t into and t h ese sm all boats upon o sa t p la ciik e u friction of the wheels be not sufficient to propel the e launch the ice, oa s e cr e e i eighth h steelth bwheels,ts upsOnay to form projections, and to slipping upon the ice.

Also, there is another advantage; you can steer to any quarte r without turntables or switches, as the ice forms its own railway. The motive that actuates the inventor is hoping the Admiralty will apply this, or some other plan, by which means they may proceed farther in search of the almost-despaired-of Sir John Franklin than i'. is possible for vessels to navigate.
