terming the limit. There was among other papers one by Mr. Brown, relative to certain anomalous families of plants. In Medicine, there were only a few papers read, which did not seem to have called forth any remarks of importance. In Statistics an article was read on the advantages of infant schools, and a conversation took place on the diffi culty of ascertaining the exact amount of the earnings of the poor. A paper was read on the statistics of Glasgow, kr Dr. Clelland, in which he showed the numerous inaq tcuracies fallen into by those who had drawn up the paro ohial statements. A letter was read from Professor Mal thus, regretting his inability to attend the present meeting of the Association. The CHAIRMAN then requested Dr. Lardner to explain the principle of Professor Babbage's celebrated calculating machine. The Learned Doctor commenced his ad dress by pointing out the absolute necessity of possessing a machine by which errors in numerical computation might be obviated.—That even the most perfect tables by which navigators determine their longitude are incorrect is fact familiar to every one. These arise, in the first in stance, from mistakes made by calculators ; and it was stated as a singular fact that in one case three indivi duals, acting independently of each other in making the same calculations and constructing the same tables, each fell into precisely the same error. This, Dr. Lardner ob served, arose in most cases, from the calculist either for getting to carry one, or carrying one too many. Several instances of this were pointed out. But even allowing that the tables were correctly constructed, still in the opera tion of printing , errors would inevitably occur. The ma chine invented by Professor Babbage, it is contemplated, will prevent the possibility of error in forming those nu merical tables. It is, however, impossible for us to follow the Learned Doctor through the details he gave of this celebrated machine without diagrams. FOURTH DAY (THURSDAY.) This evening the rooms were again extremely crowded, and such was the anxiety to be present that the company began to arrive as early as seven o clock, being an hour be fore the proceedings commenced, and in a short time after wards the room was nearly filled. Numbers, however, continued to throng the passages up to eight o'clock, when the great room was completely filled to the very door, and, consequently, a considerable part of the visitors, including many of the ladies, had to content themselves with merely promenading through the lobbies and side rooms. Among the company present this evening we noticed Viscount Melville and Lord Belhaven. The President having taken the chair, • Professor WIIEWELL reported the transactions for the day in the Section of Mathematics and General Physics. A paper had been read by Professor Rennie on hydraulics, embracing some observations upon the river Thames, showing its slope previous to the creation of the new London bridge. Mr. PHILLIP read a paper on a new form of the dipping needle, whereby errors regarding the centre of gravity could be corrected. Professor ROBINSON made some remarks on the Edin burgh Observatory, showing the necessity of some scientific improvements. Dr. CHRISTISON reported the proceedings of the Che mical Section, the most important part of the business of which seemed to have been a discussion on chemical nota tion introduced by Mr. Johnston. The subject was re ferred to the committee, with the view of introducing an uniform system of chemical notation. A letter from Profes sor Airy, of Philadelphia, was read, respecting the pro priety of facilitating the communications with foreigners•of congenial pursuits. Lord GitEENOCK reported the proceedings of the Sec tion of Geology and Geography. Mr. Nicol, read a paper on the subject of the structure of fossil wood, and explained the general results of his ob servations, and showed his method of making the thin sec tions of fossil wood. Professor TRAILL read a paper on fossil remains found in Orkney, which gave rise to some discussion. The sec- tion resolved, if the weather should prove favourable, to have a geological excursion to some of the hills near Edin burgh. Professor GRAHAM reported the Section of Natural History. . Mr. SELBY read a lengthened notice of the birds obtained during an excursion in Sutherlandshire, and On the struc ture and use of the orbital glands. Sir W. JARDINE also read a paper on the various spe cies of the genus Salmo collected during the same tour, ex hibiting the specimens and drawings. On this important subject some observations were made by M. Agassis and Dr. Richardson. Mr. TREVELYAN read a notice on the distril?ution of the phenogamous plants of the Faroe Island. A paper was read by Mr. J. G. DALZELL on the propa gation of Scottish zoophytes, illustrated by many beautiful drawings. He stated that he had kept some of the zoo phytes alive in his own house for several years. Dr. ARNOTT read a paper on the coculus indicus of commerce. Mr. MURRAY made somo observations on his gucce cultivating phormium tenax. Dr. ROGET reported the proceedings of the Section of Anatomy and Medicine, the most prominent feature of which seemed to be a lecture by Sir Charles Bell, on the nervous system, which was to be continued on the follow ing day. Colonel SYKES reported the Statistical Section. The discussion resolved on the new statistical account of Scot land. Earl Fitzwilliam suggested that more minute details regarding the subject of agriculture should be obtained, and mentioned that he had been successful in getting some mi nute returns from his own neighbourhood. On the sugges tion of Lord Jeffrey, the committee undertook to communi cate with the Highland Society on the subject. Mr. Brunel reported the proceeding of the subsections of Mathematics. Dr. Buckland then gave an interesting lecture on some species of fossil reptiles, which he illustrated by various drawings exhibited on the wall of the room. The meeting closed at a little before 11 o'clock. FRIDAY-FIFTH DAY. -Friday evening the general meeting of the Associatio n was, if possible, more numerously and fashionably attended than any of the previous ones. Sir THOMAS BRISBANE took the chair at the usual hour, when the business com menced by reading the Reports of the different Sections. Professor ROBINSON, of Armagh, read the Report from the Section of Mathematics and Physics, at which, among other topics, Dr. Knight had explained a method of render ing the vibrations of heated metals visible to the eye. Mr. Russell read an account of certain experiments relative to the traction of boats at considerable speed on canals.—Sir D. Brewster read an account of a series of experiments re lative to the surfaces of chrystals when in a state of solu tion. These experiments were conducted with that skill and dexterity which had already rendered the name of Brewster one of European renown. Sir Thomas Brisbane made some remarks on a kind of siliceous sand found in New South Wales, from which glass of a superior quality is manufactured. Professor CHRISTISON read the Report from the Section on Chemistry, in which papers on various subjects con nected with the science were read by Mr. Harcourt, Dr. Clark, Sir David Brewster, Mr. Graham, and Mr. Kemp. Professor PHILLIPS reported from the Section of Geo graphy and Geology; in which, among other papers, Mr. James Bryce read one on certain bones found in a cavern near the Giant's Causeway. A paper was also read on the geology of the Pentland Hills. Mr. Murchison read a pa per on the fossil fishes found in the old red sandstone of England, and also in Forfarshire, and other counties in Scotland. Dr. Traill announced that the fossil fishes which he had brought from Orkney had been inspected by M. Agassis, who had diseovered among them five new species: M. Agassis also reid a paper on certain fossils found in the quarries near Burdiehouse, which he conceived at first to be reptiles, but which were in reality fishes, partaking of the character of reptiles. This remarkable fact was now brought for the first time under the notice of science. Professor GRAHAM read the Report from the Section of Natural History. In this Section Dr. Traill made some observations on a new species of thrush found in Bra bant. Mr. Pentland concluded his observations on the remains of what appeared to be an extinct variety of the human race, which had inhabited a district in South America, extending from the 16th to the 19th degree of south latitude. From relics found in various places, it appeared that three-fourths of the brain was placed be hind the spinal column, the consequence of which con formation would be, that they would have great dif ficulty in keeping their heads erect, and be more inclined as the Professor humorously observed, to be star-gazers than geologists. It ought to be observed, however, that, Mr. Pentland failed to convince the section that this con formation arose from any other source than the habits of savage life. Sir David Brewster gave a masterly and lumi nous account of a remarkable structure in the webs of the feathers of birds, for keeping the lamina 3 from separating during flight. This extraordinary fact had hitherto es caped the observation of naturalists. Dr. ABERCROMBIE enumerated the various papers which had been read in the section of medicine, and then took oc casion to express the gratification which himself and others had felt during the present meeting, and their anticipations of the happy results to which the friendships thereby com menced might lead. He was not one of those who thought that the pursuits of physical science were hurtful to the higher interests of man, considered as a moral being. He believed that irreligion and infidelity were the offspring of ignorance united to presumption ; and that the boldest re searches in physical science were calculated the more to display the power, the wisdom, the harmony, and the beauty which marked the works of Him who guided the planets in their course, who ruled the thousand suns in their systems, and whose name was " the Eternal." Colonel SYKES reported from the Section of Statistics ; where Mr. Drinkwater had stated the progress which had been made by the Statistical Society of London, which now consisted of 400 members connected with every part of the kingdom. Captain Maconochie had read a long and inte resting paper on the population and state of crime in France, from which he deduced the important fact, that education was not always a guarantee against the com mission of crime ; but was a mighty instrument, either for good or evil, according as it was directed ; and that the great object of education ought to be the cultivation of the • moral feelings. In 100 crimes against the person,- eighty six were committed by men, and only fourteen by women ; and in the same number of crimes against property, seventy nine were committed by men, and twenty-one by women. Two-fifths of all the crimes committed by women against the person were infanticide. A considerable increase had taken place in the number of second convictions ; but the Captain remarked, that those sentenced to the galleys seldom rendered themselves liable a second time to punish ment.—[The word " galleys" was mistaken for gallows by a large portion of the audience, from the similarity of pronunciation, and excited a laugh, which neither Colonel Sykes nor many of his hearers appeared to comprehend.] Mr. WHEWELL then delivered a lecture on several in teresting phcenomena connected with the tides. At the last meeting of the Association, the investigation of this subject was pointed out as of vast moment, and one from which facts of great importance were likely to result. Mr. Whewell observed, that the state of information with re spect to tides amongst philosophers was exactly in the same situation as that with respect to many other parts of astro nomy amongst the unlearned. Only one fact was known to the learned regarding tides, that they were produced by the attraction of the moon and the sun ; but as to parti cular details they were entirely ignorant. It was for this reason that he called attention to the subject, upon the occasion alluded to ; so as to induce intelligent individuals to give what information they could on the subject, and also enter upon investigations. At Bristol, a society was instituted for the purpose of prosecuting inquiry ; and the neighbourhood of Bristol was, of all parts, the best calcu lated for it, for there the tide frequently rises and falls from fifty to sixty feet. A person might walk at low water along the valley of the river, and see the ships lying dry, as it were fixed to the walls, and never dream that in a few hours these vessels would be visited and floated by the tide. Bristol is thus peculiarly adapted for making ob servations on the tides : and to facilitate these inquiries, a self-registering instrument was constructed for the purpose of ascertaining their rise and fall. By this instrument, the relative heights at different periods of high water were ascertained, being delineated by the machine upon a sheet of paper, one of which was exhibited to the meeting. By this means the interesting fact first developed by Newton, from observations made by a gentleman residing at the very spot where the instrument is now placed, was put to the proof and verified, namely, that at certain periods of the year the evening tides were greater than the morning, and other periods the morning tides were greater than the evening. In the rise from the neap to spring tides, the increments are not regular, but alternate, low and high. At London, and other places the fact above stated was not found to hold true ; but that was occasioned by the relative position of land and water. Mr. Whewell then described the man ner in which the tides were brought to our costs, and showed that the great tidal wave which rolled in_ the At lantic was broken into three different branches in approach ing our island, in consequence of which two tides met at the mouth of the Thames, one of them twelve hour's after the other, so that the tide at London was compounded of both a morning and an evening tide. In order to prosecute the investigation of this phenomenon, application was made to the Admiralty to direct the attention of the Preventive Coast Guard t o th e su bj ec t ; an d t h e o ffi cers o f th a t ser vice had shown an alacrity and zeal in the matter which was worthy their character. He had received their obser vations during a fortnight in June last, but he had not yet had time to examine these, except very partially. He had reason to believe, from a hurried glance, however, that they would be of great value ; and they were at present under going discussion by direction of the Admiralty. Mr. Whe well concluded his interesting remarks by expressing, in very warm terms, the feelings of gratitude entertained by himself and other strangers of the Association, for the kind and hospitable reception they had met with in Edinburgh. Professor SEDGWICK went at some length into a general review of the results of the labours in the Geological and Geographical Section during the week ; in the course of which the Learned Professor dwelt upon the relation which subsisted between the geological formations in the sister kingdoms. Geology, he observed, had made a very impor tant advance during this meeting. M. Agassis, in particu lar, had brought to light several very important facts rela tive to certain organic remains. The Professor, after concluding his review, took occasion to congratulate the Association on the countenance which had been bestowed upon their meetings by the presence of so manv of Scot land-s-aa:ughiefs, and --- conctuded by re-eChoing the senti ments of Dr. Abercrombie, that the pursuits of science, instead of leading to infidelity, had a contrary tendency— that it went rather to strengthen religious principles, and to confirm them. The company separated at eleven o'clock. SATURDAY-SIXTH DAY. On Saturday the last meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science was held in the large and splendid hall of the College Library, the galleries of which were set apart for the accommodation of ladies. The doors were thrown open about half-past two o'clock, when a great rush was made for admission ; and a little after three, when the business commenced, the hall was quite filled. A short time before this, the Lord Chancellor made his appearance on the platform, and was hailed with loud cheers. The PRESIDENT (Sir T. Macdougall Brisbane) an nounced, that the next meeting of the Association was to be held at Dublin, to commence on the 10th day of Au gust, 1835, Provost Lloyd of Trinity College, Dublin, to be President. The F Rev. V. HARCOURT, G enera l S ecre t ary o f the As sociation, then read a long Report em b rac i ng , i n a general view, the principal topics which had been discussed during the week, and the objects to which they wished the atten tion of the members to be directed during the ensuing year. He also read a list of contributions from the Association for promoting several scientific pursuits. Dr. BUCKLAND then rose to propose the thanks of the Association to the Patrons and Officers of the University for the handsome and liberal way in which they had given up to them the use of the rooms in the University.. He said that throughout the week they had been received in the metropolis of Scotland in a way. which was worthy of the far-famed hospitality of the nation. They had been wel comed to the houses and to the tables of the inhabitants-- nay, the very rocks of the country had welcomed them— (A laugh)—by opening before them their valuable treasures —they had seen that the Grampians had formerly had spices waving on their tops, while at their bases the croco dile swam, and a thousand fishes had started from their rocky sepulchre to bid welcome to the Members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.— (Laughter and applause.) After some farther remarks, the Learned Doctor concluded by proposing his motion, which was seconded by the Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, and carried by acclamation. On the motion of Lord GREENOCK, seconded by Pro fessor FORBES, thanks were voted to the Royal College of Physicians, and other public bodies who had offered to give the use of their premises for the accommodation of the As sociation. On the motion of Mr. Muncutsom, seconded by Pro fessor SEDGWICK, thanks were voted to the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, for their liberal and zealous endeavours to promote inquiries into the Geology of Scotland. Professor POWELL, of Oxford, in-proposing the thanks of the Association to the proprietors of the Assembly-rooms for the handsome manner in which they had granted the use of their premises, and for the splendid manner in which they had fitted them up, took occasion to express his gra tification, and that of the Association, at the numerous and interesting audiences which the evening meetings had brought together, and especially of ladies. He said those miscellaneous meetings were of great importance to science, as they tended to keep up a communication between scien tific men and those engaged in the business of the world, which seemed to animate and cheer them in their recondite pursuits. He had no difficulty in declaring for himself, that he considered the evening meetings as of even greater importance than the Sectional ones ; and they showed, by the attendance bestowed on them, that the labours of men of science were not uninteresting to those who were not en gaged in the same pursuits. The motion was seconded by Mr. GREENOUGH. On the motion of Mr. WHEWELL, seconded by Professor HAMILTON, thanks were voted to the Presidents and Vice- Presidents of the present meeting. Sir Thomas Brisbane, Sr David Brewster, and Dr. Robinson, severally returned thanks. On the motion of the Rev. W. V. HARCOURT, seconded by Professor PHILLIPS, thanks were voted to the Secre taries for the Edinburgh Meeting, Mr. Robison and Pro fessor Forbes. On the motion of Mr. J. TAYLOR, seconded by Mr. RonisoN, thanks were voted to the Treasurer, Mr. Charles Forbes, and the Committee of Management, viz :—Dr. Christison, Dr. Borthwick, Mr. Cay, Mr. Craigie, Mr. Burt, and other gentlemen who gave occasional valuable aid. Professor SEDGWICK, in proposing the thanks of the As sociation to Mons. Arrago and the other distinguished strangers who had visited them, made some pertinent and eloquent remarks upon the advantages of science in smooth- THE SUN IS NOW THE LARGEST DAILY PAPER IN LONDON. . mg the prejudices of different nations, and linking together learned men of all countries. He paid a high compliment to the merits of M. Arrago, and sat down amidst great applause. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose, amidst loud cheering, to second the motion. After apologising for not sooner ap pearing at the meetings of the Association, which he said was attributable to accident, he remarked that he under stood he owed the honour of seconding the motion of his Reverend and Learned Friend to the circumstance —one of the proudest in his life—that he was a member of the Na tional Institute of France. It had been often remarked that war was a game at which, if the people were wise, Governments would not often play ; and he might add, that in encouraging and fostering the exertions of men of science, who were of no party, and over whom the angry tempests of war passed innocuous, a Government was tak inr, the best means to facilitate that which ought ever to be their chief aim—peace on earth, and good will among men. —(Applause.) He might remark also that, as among in dividuals, the older they grew they became the more sen sible that life was too short to be spent in personal quarrels, so he was happy to say, that the world was now too old, and too experienced, for neighbouring States to engage in war with little or no ground of quarrel. A great part of this softening influence was to be attributed to science, which formed a bond of brotherhood between learned men of all countries. It was, therefore, on scientific principles, and on the principles of an enlightened philanthropy, that he cordially seconded the motion of his Reverend Friend.— (Great applause.) M. ARRAGO returned thanks in French. On the motion of the Rev. Dr. ROBINSON, seconded by Sir CHARLES LEMON, thanks were voted to the Rev. Wm. Vernon Harcourt for his countinued and unremitted exer tions as General Secretary. The PRESIDENT then addressed the meeting at some length, congratulating the Association on the result of their labours, and on the hospitality with which they had been treated in Edinburgh ; a circumstance of which, as a Scotchman, he could not fail to be proud, and of which he himself had largely shared, having had the honour that day of being presented, along with four other distinguished in dividuals, with the freedom of the City of Edinburgh.— (Applause.) The Gallant General then adjourned the Association to Dublin on the 10th day of August, 1835. PRICES OF STOCKS TIM Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. 3per Cent. Cons. 90!4% 1 DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The advocates for the diffusion of cheap knowledge among the people of this country—happily a large ; liberal, enlightened, and influential body—have all but a solemn pledge, in the speech of the LORD CHAN CELLOR to the inhabitants of Aberdeen, that the re- peal of the stamp duty on newspapers will form one of the earliest acts of the Legislature in the next sitting of ,Parliament. His Lordship, in speaking of the speculative and visionary character which certain inte rested individuals gave to his opinions on this subject, laconically observed, "But there is nothing specula tive and visionary in the difference between 7id. and 3d.—a few months, perhaps, will show if there be." We never read a finer illustration of the difference between the real and the visionary than is here given —one, to o , w hi c h can ne i t h er b e misunder stood by ignorance, nor misinterpreted by sophistry. The poor cannot mistake it ; and even among the wealthier classes, there will be found a few to E whom this mode of reasoning will appear singu larly intelligible, and admirably appropriate. But Lord BROUGHAM need be under no concern about what others say of the visionary character of his opinions. They well know that his opinions are not visionary, else would they give themselves little con cern about them. Visionaries are very leniently dealt with by their opponents, an indulgence which has never yet been extended to the CHANCELLOR and his projects. The great secret of the hostility of our contemporaries against Lord BROUGHAM, will be found in the opinions expressed by him before the Committee of the House of Commons, which sat in June last—for the purpose of suggesting amendments in the present law of libel. His Lordship on that oc casion gave expression to opinions respecting the, liberty of the press, and the abolition of certain stamp duties, well known to, be the main support of certain monopolies, which unfortunately for his " fair fame" several members of the House of Commons, and the great majority of the reading public out of doors, considered by no means of a " visionary character." This was the first sting inflicted on the fostering bo som of his Lordship's self-constituted nurses. From that hour the scales fell from their eyes, and in the lovely cherub who had been for some fifteen years the sole idol of their idolatry, the principal object of their worship, and the only standard of human excellence, they discovered an ugly, blubbering, ignorant, mis chievous urchin—a very Major PIPER in person and pretensions. It was not their interest, neither was it their wish, that this discovery—though a damning proof of their previous ignorance—should be kept secret. But still prudence suggested caution in a pro ceeding so self-humiliating—so -very likely to excite the indignation of the public at large. Feelers were put forth in the form of hints and suggestions, which a previous knowledge of the firmness and consis tency of the high personage to be maligned, enabled them to be certain would be scorned ; and a patronizing, pitying, desponding air was as sumed, which they were equally certain would be regarded as insolent assumptions of unrecog nized authority. Then happily for the trembling monopolists came the Poor Law Amendment Bill, which served for a pretext for throwing aside the hollow forms of respect—for flinging underfoot the mask which could no longer conceal the miserable malignity of the pseudo-admirers of an educated popu lace. Had the LORD CHANCELLOR when address ing the Libel Committee, assured the Members that he never would sanction any project for instructing the people, which the proprietors of Public Journals would think in any way whatever likely to trench upon their vested rights; or that presuming such a scheme was carried in opposition to his influence, he would move that compensation should be granted to the share-holders, and that the writers should be appointed to fill certain lucrative offices under the Crown, the people of the United Kingdom would have yet to learn in what Lord BROUGHAM, the High Chancellor of England, differed from HENRY BROUGHAM, the liberal, en lightened, honest, and able representative of the Com mons. But his Lordship thought only of his duty to his conscience and his country on that occasion ; and even subsequently he was single-minded enough to suppose others actuated by the same honest motives which influenced his own conduct, by overlooking the necessity of providing spurs for the post-boys who heralded his glory. The Master Walters of our mighty contemporaries—the newspaper press—are not less ardent admirers of "belted knighthood" than was the hero of the Hunchback of a Rochdale coronet. But " We'll talk of that anon.' Meantime, the eyes of the country are opened to the imposition that has been attempted to be practised. The baseness of the motives cannot be concealed, so that even were the truth of the malicious, malignant, and rabid charges preferred against Lord BROUGHAM capable of the clearest demonstration, the treachery, the previous crawling servility, and the moral guilt of those who have conspired to injure his reputation, would not be more universally detested than they are at present among all honourable men. The whole ,lic.pitte—as far 'As it seems_ persamrd_may be disposed of in a single syllogism. Either Lord BROUGHAM . was worthy of the praises for several years be stowed upon him, by those journals which now attack him, or he was not ; if he was worthy, then are they alike destitute of decency and principle, in attempting to befoul him with slanders which deny him the possession of talents, the exist ence of which do not depend upon the exercise of any course of political conduct : if he was not worthy, then were they, for fifteen years, the veriest fools or knaves in the United Kingdom, and in either case dis qualified for attempting the direction of public opinion. The great importance, in a moral and political point of view, of the abolition of the stamp duty on newspapers, has been so often discussed in the columns of The Sun, that we think it unnecessary at present to go beyond our expression of the pleasure which it affords us to see the matter about to be brought before the public by such a distinguished statesman as Lord BROUGHA M. The question is altogether one which ought not to pass into other hands. To him the country looks as the chief sup port of every scheme for diffusing instruction among the humbler classes of the community—for breaking up the scholastic monopolies now enjoyed by the par tizans of certain religious opinions, to the utter exclu sion of the adherents of other creeds—and for basing the laws of the country on the righteous principle of equality and equity. To make the people mo ral —to make them rationally religious —to make them observant of every duty, public and domestic— he only way is to educate them ; and an education to produce these effects must include a knowledge of whatever is taking place in the community. This can only be done by making newspapers so cheap that the working people may be able to purchase them, and read them weekly and daily in their families, instead of the abominable trash which is now circulated by the enemies of all Government. Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a third letter to Lord DUNCANNON, the burden of which is, as usual, " the follies, faults, and crimes" of the Whigs. It is singular that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman should profess himself a " Ministerial" man at the very mo ment when he is tasking his utmost endeavours to prove that Ministers have not one single redeeming trait about them. We admit, however, that in his allusion to the Whig Magisterial appointments in Ireland, he has something like justice on his side ; but does this, therefore, justify his wholesale 'condemnation that there never was any policy more foolish than that of the Whigs towards Ireland ?" As one specimen of their folly, Mr. O'CONNELL adduces the fact of their courting that vile party which suggests in terms too plain to be misunderstood the ex- termination of the Catholic people of Ireland." Now, it so happens that this same " vile party," in whom Mr. O'CONNELL can now see nothing but what is villainous and execrable, has for the last two years been flattered and courted by him with a perse verance and assiduity almost, we may say, without parrallel in the annals of political blandishments. We do not forget the soft, sugary flatteries with which he strove to hoodwink the Orangemen, about the time when he was publishing those incendiary Repeal epistles, for one of which he allowed his " dear friend," BA RRBTT, to stand his proxy in jail.

As the whole of Mr. O'CONNELL'S letter is made up of abuse of the Whig Ministry, and contains scarcely one point that in some shape or other he has not already insisted on, at least a hundred times, we content our selves with this cursory notice of it. In order that the lovers of science may not be dis appointed by the irregular way in which the reports of the proceedings of the British Association in Edin burgh, have appeared, we have given in this day's Sun a condensed report of the entire six days. We trust we may say without egotism that our sole object is to Give all the encouragement in our power to the culti vation of science, amid the improvement of general literature. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Thursday, , together with intelligence from Madrid of the Ist instant. The Parisian journals re semble the old lady in the fable, who on being asked by Judge MINOS in the infernal regions what she had been doing during the sixty years of her sojourn on earth, answered that she was so busied with correcting the flirtations of a parcel of idle jilts, as to have no time to attend to her own affairs. The French Journals can say the same thing for themselves, for so taken up are they with patronizing, patting, remonstrating with and ridiculing DE LA RosA and his colleagues, that they have quite forgotten the Citizen KING, his Court, his Cabinet, and his political intermeddlings. The news from Madrid is not important, the principal arrivals being detailed reports: of the Finance Committee, of which we gave all that is really worth a perusal in yesterday's Sun. The civil war is still carried on, but with no appearance of being hastily extinguished. The defeat of the Cabinet, on the Bill of Rights, has given great satisfaction to the Spanish people. Brussels papers of the 18th inst. state that General GOBLET will not now be appointed to the Ministry at War, notwithstanding the King's promise. The reason assigned is the opposition of the Ministers at present in office. The Belgian papers are filled with discussions on this subject of no interest to our readers. One of them says :—" We are assured that the Duke of WELLINGTON has just applied to the Belgian Go vernment for the payment of 270,000 florins, for three years' pay as Field-Marshal Inspector -General of the fortifications in Belgium. It is added that the English Ministry has not supported his application." The following are extracts from German Papers re ceived this morning :-- PESTH, SEPT. 3.—We have not for many years had such an animated fair as that just ended. An immense quantity of goods was brought by 15 or 16,000 waggons by land, and above 200 ships by water, and the concourse of strangers was uncommonly great. It seems that the steam navigation on the Danube and to Constantinople will soon become important. The steam-boat already completed at Trieste will soon go to Constantinople, and thence to the mouth of the Danube, and ply regularly between Galacz and the Turkish capital. Next year three steam-boats will be completed in that part of the line. The indefatigable Count Szechenzi who is just gone to Turkey, to make the necessary arrangements for blowing up the rocks at what is called the iron gate, will soon begin with the machines that have arrived from England. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador in London, is expected here in a few days. He will be installed in the nu merous and lucrative domains in Hungary, which have fallen to him by the death of his father. The Transylvanian Diet, likeihat, at PrDskurz— prneocclings, THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. Our only arrivals this morning are French and Swedish mails, with the express from Paris, and a Jamaica paper of Aug. 1. (From the Jamaica Dispatch.) Mr. Baines, a stipendiary magistrate, a few days ago visited Swansea and Thetford, in St. John's, for the purpose of ex plaining to the negroes the purport of the governor's late pro clamation, and the nature of the approaching change ; but the negroes turned the explanation into ridicule, and at last he was openly hissed, on which Mr. Baines caused four of the ring leaders to be seized, and sent to Spanish Town. An investi gation of the affair took place before the magistrates, at which his Excellency the Governor presided. Two of the men were sentenced to receive 48 lashes, and the other two 12 each on the estates. SAV. LA MARR.--His Majesty's steamer Rhadamanthus laid off the harbour on Saturday morning, and landed ammunition and arms for the police, and a detachment of the 84th regiment. From another Jamaica paper received at the North and South American Coffee-house. This being a day of general jubilee throughout the island, the heart indeed must be callous that will not join in rejoicing that so many of our fellow-beings are emancipated from the bonds of slavery. Although we know this feeling to be universal, still, in the midst of general joy, every precaution ought to be taken to secure the public peace, as there are now some wicked and designing men of a fair complexion in the island, who would glory in viewing Jamaica one scene of general de solation, but they are watched, and will be exposed of detected. The Governor's proclamation to the runaway negroes has produced the most beneficial results • hundreds of these people have surrendered themselves to the magistrates throughout the Island. THE . Spanish continu es h eavy this FUNDS morning, and opened at the same price they left off, 54. The speculators are now waiting the result upon the report of the Finance Committee in the Chambers ; therefore it is not expected that any important speculations will take place until the result is known. Portu guese 81 to 81k. Consols opened at the price they left off, 901 for Account. HALF-PA S T- ONE. Letters have been received this morning from Constanti nople, of the 26th ult. stating that the plague was making great havoc in that capital. The French fleet had taken its departure, and all was pacific. We have seen two letters from Lisbon, but not of a later date than the mail. They state that affairs look gloomy there, and murders daily committed. Don Pedro was in a dangerous state on the Bth inst., and was not expected to live many days. Two steamers were on the eve of departure, under commo dore Henry, in the Spanish service, to cruize off the coast of Spain against the Carlist vessels. Spanish Stock continues very heavy, 5,0001. has just been sold at 52A ;in the morning it reached 54. Portuguese is also receding, may be quoted at 80g. Consuls has been during the morning soi for the Account. No further arrivals. Mexican Stock is improving, owing to the last favourable arrivals received from that capital ; and it is generally thought that the Government is firm, and no more revolutions will take place in that country.

The French Government reserves to itself the mono polies in the sale of gunpoweer, snuff, and tobacco, for the retail of which persons are appointed with a brevet or privi lege. The revenue arising from these monopolies is very considerable. Foreigners are permitted to bring into France a small quantity of tobacco and snuff for their private con sumption • the quantity, however, depends much upon t h e pleasure Of the officer of the douane of the port or frontier town, and is considered as an indulgence and not a right.— Okey's Digest. REPEAL OF THE HOUSE TAX.--The bills for the Government taxes have just been delivered, and they are in general less than half of what they were last year, owing to the repeal of the house tax. In Liverpool alone, the saving to the public is 30,0001. per annum. This is a substantial re lief, and will be felt as such in thousands of families. The Goverment taxes raised in this town, which last year amounted to about 50,0001., now do not amount to more than 20,0001. As Mr. Canning once said, " The system works well, gentle men I"—Liverpool Courier. MR. ASHTON'S MURDER.—This horrible trans action is, we are happy to hear, likely to develope itself, ere long, through all its mysterious ramifications ; and that, by the Spring Assizes, other and more guilty associates of those now under sentence of death at Chester, will be placed at the bar of public justice. —Stockport Advertiser.
