If he wero to judge of the Cheshire farming by what he saw along the railroad, he should form a very erroneous opinion of it ; and he could now show in every parish near North wich, Chester, and Knutsford, farmers who would do credit to any body of agriculturists—and whe were im proving agriculture in every way. He then alluded to the condition of the farm-labourer, and to the care and attention which it was the duty of the landlords to pay to his welfare. He would not contrast the condition of the manufacturing and agricultural labourers ; but there had been symptoms of late in different parts of England and Wales that the people of the country had a deep rooted feeling amongst them of discontent with their social condition.—(Hear, hear.) It was our duty to take them into serious consideration. People would say, and justly, " Why don't you educate them, and teach them ate difference between right and wrong ; their duty to God and man ; that honesty is the best policy, and that it is only by thrifty and sober habits that an agricul tural labourer can ever arrive at independence ?"—and all this was true. But it was the business of every man to give the labourers every instruction in his power ; but what was the use of preaching the doctrines of political economy to a man deprived of the first necessaries of life ; when he could not send his children to school, and could only feed them on half-mouldy pota toes ? Give them physical comforts first.—(Applause.) He had no no.trum, no specific. Much had been said of the good effects of allotments, and he looked on them wi:h favour, as giving the labourer same feeling of pro perty and independence ; but this in itself was not suffi cient. He knew no more melancholy sight than a num b..r of stout young men applying for relief to the union, willing and able to work, and unable to find a farmer to employ them.—(Hear.) We must not lose sight of the evil because it was difficult to meet it. He would call on all men of capital to meet (such a meeting had been held last week in Suffolk, driven to it by incendiary fires) — be would call on men of property. Perhaps farmers had great difficulty in making out their rents—(Hear, hear)—but men of property must take this into consi dertion, fur he held that property had its duties, as well as its rights.—(Applause.) Employment was wanted. If every one had a good day's wages for a good day's work, King Lud and Rebecca might be set at defiance. —(Applause.) He never saw the farm (except show farm) to which a great degree of husbandry labour might not be applied with the greatest advantage, for there was no machine that could be compared to a pair of stout human hands, especially if directed by an intelligent head.

The show of stock was limited in extent, and according to the opinion of the judges " just pass e ble." After dinner the principal theme of the discus sion was that of the cottage allotments. The President, Sir E. KERRISON, observed that he bad adopted the system more than 15 years. He had now nearly 200 cottage allotments and gardens, and wherever he saw instances of merit on the part of the occupiers, and whenever he felt that reward was due to good conduct, he was always ready and happy, if possi ble, to afford the greateft accommodation. But he ad hered to the principle upon which ha started, not to give the tenants too much land. If they had more land given to them than they could cultivate in their surplus time, it would be impossible for them to prove themselves good labourers and to do justiee to their masters.—(Cheers.) The maximum quantity he allotted was 40 rods of good land to each cottage, which was as much as a man could undertake to cultivate by his surplus labour. He had several instances of men coming forward and offering 21., 31., and even 4/. for an acre of land.—(Hear, hear.) He should, however, be sorry indeed to listen to any appli cation of that sort, or to give to any man that which would in his opinion prove positively ruinous to him in the end. His plan of letting cottage gardens was this— the exact price the farmer paid for his land, and no more. He had adhered to the principle which he him self originally laid down, and he was of opinion it had worked admirably well.—(Loud cheers.) Lord HENNIKER bore similar testimony to the advan tage of allotments, and the groundlessness of objectic ns against them. Another mode of alleviating the dis tresses of the people which bad been suggested was through the medium of emigration. A long discussion took place on the appointment of a sub-section on ethnological science, on which some very interesting communications had been re ceived. Through the exertions of the Ethnological Society in London this is a subject attracting much attention, and the papers announced were very varied and numerous. It was at last resolved that they should be discussed in the zoological section, to which matters of this kind had been previously referred. The Committee of Recommendations for the several reports and grants of money was next appointed. Amongst the members of the various Committees appointed were the Hon. Mr. Everett, the American Minister; the Chevalier Bunsen, Professor Liebig, Sir W. Jardine, Bart. ; Sir D. Brewster, and Sir J. Posse. lANEEIS.--Mes; co. Cocks, Biddulph, and Co., 43, Charing.cross.

When the hair is becoming thin and falling off, the only effec tual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above named articles, applied alternately—the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the hear's grease as a nou risher. If any further evidence was required of the virtue of bear's grease for renovating and preserving she hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer. ROSS ani SONS, 119 and 120, BISHOPSGATE-STREET, who first introduced the use of bear's grease into this country, and who rat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article.

" We regard the work before us, • Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com plaints hitherto little understood, arid passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.

" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day.

The absence of the Premier, the President of the Society, after his solemn pledge last - year to attend, cawed the greatest disappointment, many persons having come from a considerable distance to hear what the Prime Minister had to say on the present crisis of agricultural affairs. Sir Robert Peel's known absence was not made equally public as his expected presence can be best ansri erect by the officers of the Society, who doubtless thought it well to draw a large number of visitors, with but little regard to the inducement for so numerous an attendance. As there appears to be no sufficient reason for Sir - Robert Peel keeping away, his daughter being sufficiently well to be left alone at Drayton Manor, it was generally conjectured that he wished to avoid the necel sity of speaking out, or of saying nothing, either of whiclh alternatives might have led to inferences rather delicate at the present moment. The consequence was, that the whole affair was as dull as could be, and, in the abse nee of their great leader, the secondary actors were at a, complete nonplus, and resolved not only to say nothing themselves, but to prevent anything being said b . ,. others. Under these circumstances, you cannot be surprised at receiving a very bald report, for the reporter can but repeat what occurs ; and was it not that a number of the representatives of the London papers were present in the expectation of Sir Robert Peel's speech, the whole might be properly passed over as one of the least interesting of the many meetings of this description which take place at this period of the year. The exhibition of stock and implements, which took place in the morning, was not equal to that of its prede cessor of last year in point of numbers, but in quality was highly creditable. The Leicester sheep were un commonly tine, and many of the imple men t s were muc h admired, especially those manufactured by Messrs. Deane, of Birmingham; but all these have been previ ously noticed in the report of the great meeting at Southampton. Amongst the visitors on the ground were Lord Ha therton, the Right Hon. W. Yates Peel and Lady Jane Peel, Lord Alfred Paget, Lady G. Beresford, Mr. Ad derly, M.P., &c. Mr. Yates Peel, however, following the example of his brother, did pot attend the dinner. The dinner took place at the Town-hall, and was at tended by 300 gentlemen, and by the successful agricul tural labourers who had contended for prizes ; and up wards of 100 more tickets were applied for, but could not be supplied for want of accommodation. Colonel Anson, M.P., the Vice-President of the Society, took the chair in the absence of the President, Sir Robert Peel, and it is but just to say that the manner in which he fulfilled his presidential duties won for him golden opinions from an audience,, the majority of whom were evidently of very opposite politics. The dinner, supplied by Mr. Dunn, of the Swan Hotel, was superb, and was enlivened by the admirable singing of Messrs. Harrison, Counter, and Sherwin, of the Lichfield choir. After the removal of the cloth, the usual loyal and honorary toasts were drank with the customary marks of respect, The CHAIRMAN then rose and said that, in proposing the toast of the evening, he fuund himself placed in an unexpected position, one that he as little expected as he desired. He had been in hopes that he should on that occasion have had the assistasee of his Right Honourable Friend S:r R. Peel—that he would have had the benefit of that Right Hon. Gentleman's remrrks on agriculture at that particular moment, and he could assure the meet ing that the absence of his Right Hon. Friend was as great a disappointment to him as it was to any one then present. In fact, the loss of the Right Hon. Gentleman was one which could not be replaced on that occasion, as his presence, which had been announced, was, no doubt, an inducement to many persons to give their attendance. In occupying the post he now filled, he (the Chairman) felt deeply the great responsibility thrown on his shoulders ; and through whatever cause the meeting had been deprived of the valuable aid of his Right Hon. Friend, no doubt they all deeply deplored his absence. Every one knew that the weight of public business, and the difficulty which a man in his position had to com mand his own time, were often insuperable, and all knew that a member of the Right Hon. Baronet's family was suffering from a most severe and afflicting illness ; but he (the Chairman) sincerely hoped that the absence of his Right Hon. Friend was attributable solely to public business, and not at all to that cause. He (the Chairman) felt quite confident that nothing but the duties of his high office could have prevented his Right Hon. Friend from fulfilling his engagement for that evening. The Gallant Chairman then made complimentary allusions to several individuals who had distinguished themselves as pro moters of scientific improvements in agriculture, recom mended the system of garden allotments as conducive to the welfare of the labourer, • and concluded by proposing " Success to the Lichfield Agricultural Society. " The toast having been drunk with all the honours, The labourers and farm-servants were called up, and appropriately addressed by the Chairman. Amongst the healths drunk toward the close of the evening, wa5 ......“ The Exhibitors of Agricultural Imple ments." _ _ Mr. DHANR returned thanks, and suggested that, in the face of the statements of an influential body, which had been called " a great fact," it would be advisable to prove that the statement on which they mainly relied was a great falsehood. It would be easy to show that this country could annually produce much more than enough for its own consumption—(Hear, hear)—and when an array of tax-gatherers went about to ascertain every man's income, it would be easy for the same men to ascertain the amount of stock produced, and of corn grown ; and he believed, if such a return were made, it would satisfy the most sceptical of the capabilities of our own soil.—(Hear, hear.) He took the liberty of suggesting that statistics of this kind would be most ♦aluable.—(Hear, bear.) The CHAIRMAN proposed---" The health of Lord Ha therton." Lord IIATHERTON returned thanks, and dwelt at some length on the advantage to be derived from the employ ment of boys upon farms for picking stones, weeding, hoeing, and the various other employments usually in trusted to women. Not only had he found it to be more economical, but it had the double advantage of breeding up the boys in an excellent school of agricultural labour, and it also kept at home those women who, as mothers of families, had important duties to perform in their cot tages, and he believed it was for the welfare of all that those duties should not be neglected.—(Hear.) Lord ALFRED PAGET proposed " The health of the Committee of Management of the Society and Mr. Chal lenor." Mr. CHILLENOR said the object of th e S oc i e ty was quite as much to better the condition of the a gr icultural labourers as to advance the interests of the landlords and occupiers of the soil. The funds of the Society were supplied chiefly by the tenant farmers, and not by the landowners. The CHAIRMAN admitted the fact, but hoped that in future the support of the landlords would be more fre quent. He thanked the meeting for the favour they had accorded him, and offered to show them some of the best thorough-bred horses if they wished it. The meeting then broke up at half-past eight o'clock. MANCHESTER. (Abridged from the Manchester Guardian.) The annual meeting, exhibition, dinner, distribu tion of premiums and rewards of this society took place in this town yesterday. , and The stock show was smaller than that of last year.

EDWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co. ; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the seine as the real ones.

The annual meeting of the members of this Associa tion took place on Tuesday. The blisidess of the day commenced with a ploughing match. A great number of the leading agriculturists of the district afterwards sat down to an excellent dinner. Sir W. G. 11. Joliffe, Bart., presided, and amongst the other gentlemen pre sent were Henry Kemble, Esq., M.P., E. Antrobus, Esq., MP., G. R. Smith, Esq., C. Bleaden, Esq., Shuter, Esq., Thomas Keen, Esq., Sutherland, Esq., Bcc. Sir. G. R. SiurrH gave " Success to the East Surrey Agricultural Association."—(Loud cheers.) He had watched the progress of the institution with the most un feigned interest and pleasure, and it was exceedingly gratifying to him to see the degree of progress and popularity which it had made—(Hear, hear)—and those who had witnessed the scenes connected with the ploughing match of that day could not but have rejoiced over the improved manners, deportment, and character of the labouring classes of this district.—(Cheers.) It was one of the most gratifying scenes he (Mr. Smith) had ever witnessed, and gave ample proof of the utility of institutions of this nature. Mr. SHUTER begged leave to propose " The llealths of the Members for the Eastern Division of the County of Surrey.'—(Cheers.) Mr. KEMBLE, M.P., thanked his friend Mr. Shater for the manner in which he had spoken of his services as a representative of the East Surrey constituency, and he begged also to be allowed to return his acknowledgments to the company for the very kind way in which they had responded to the toast.—(Hear, hear.) He could assure his friends that when he went in Parliament he enter tained certain fixed political sentiments, which he had then explained to them : but he must, at the same time, state that upon all questions his views had regard to what he believed to be the general interests of the com munity.—(Bear, hear.) Though he had been generally a supporter of her Majesty's present administration, it had been his misfortune during the last session to have occasion to vote against its views. —(Hear, hear.) But he was determined to act with that independent spirit which he felt, and with which ho had been invested by his friends ; and he would never act with any set of men in carrving out a principle which he deemed in consistent with that line of conduct in supporting which he conceived he would be best discharging his duty towards the general interests of the country.—(Cheers.) Nothing required more attention on the part of the land lords and the farmers than the condition of the labourers of the country, and he rejoiced in those institutions throughout the country, which were calculated to bring together the labourer and the farmer, who were formerly separated too much to understand each other's interests, and to promote the prosperity of both. The efforts of these societies were, as he said before, made for the good of all persons in the State ; they were not endea vouring, by giving rewards, to bribe labourers to the discharge of their duty ; their object was to remind them that their conduct had been creditable, and was worthy of reward.—(Hear, hear.) Upon the profitable employment of the labouring portion of the community, and not upon charitable donations, the poorer classes depended. They wished to be fed by their own honest exertions ; and believing that upon that principle the constitution of England was based—that by the honest industry of the labourer the peace and prosperity of Europe were maintained—he gave his most strenuous support to this and all similar institutions.—(Cheers.) IMPORTANT INQUIRY.—SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST THE MASTER AND MATRON OF THE ETON UNION WORK HOUSE.—HEAVY CENSURE OF THE JURY.—On Wednes day Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., coroner, and a jury impan nelled on the 14th instant, at the One Tun public-house, Old Brentford, resumed for the third time an inquiry into the circ ums t ances a tt en d an t u p on the death of Shaw, aged 22 years, whose thigh was severely frac tured by a fall of earth on the sth of August last, at Slough, and was removed to the Eton Union Workhouse at that place, where he died on the 12th instant. The inquiry having excited a most intense interest throughout the town and neighbourhood of Brentford, the inquest room was on each occasion crowded to excess. The following verdict was returned :—" The deceased, John Shaw, died from the mortal effects of a fracture of the left thigh-bone, produced by accidental causes. In re turning a verdict of accidental death, the jury consider it to be their duty to state that they are decidedly of opi nion that the refusal of the governor and matron of the Eton Union Workhouse to allow any conversation to pass between the afflicted man and his wife, sister, and mother-in-law, except in the presence o f a li s t ener an d a spy upon their conduct, is a part only of a system of moral treatment adopted towards the poor man which is a disgrace and a scandal to a Christian country ; and that the refusal to receive and give shelter to the wife and other poor relations when they arrived at the Union Workhouse at midnight, in a strange place, many miles from home, to pay, as they thought, a last visit to a husband, brother, and son, was, in the opinion of the jury, an act of so cruel and inhuman a character, that any person by whom such conduct could be perpetrated, is altogether unfit to be intrusted with the care of the poor." Royal. ARSENAL, WOOLIVICIL—The number of men required for the carriage and other departments of the Royal Arsenal have now been obtained, and consi derable progress has been made with the ship-gun car riages ordered to be supplied to the advance ships at the out ports, to keep them always ready in the event of their services being required at short notice. There are always a sufficient number of large guns ready for use in the Royal Arsenal, and at all the out-ports, which, within twenty-four hours' notice, could be mounted and ready for service, and the facilities afforded by steam conveyance places it in the power of the authorities to concentrate them at any particular station, on very short notice being given that they would be required. WEDNESDAY MORNI;G, SErr. 25.--The perform ance of this morning may be regarded as an attempt to rescue some of the mu s i c o f H an d e l f rom neg l ect and possible oblivion. That a writer who was constantly compelled, for more than thirty years, to produce a succession of operas or oratorios, written to poetry of the highest or the lowest kind, for singers of European fame or no fame at all, and to seek popularity at the occasional expense of good taste, should exhibit the effect of such influences in his compositions is not very wonderful. But the result has been, that many of them are as much forgotten as if they had never existed. Of one entire, and that the largest class, the oblivion was complete; for a revival of one of Handel's Italian operas is a vision which probably never floated across the mind of any living musician, although these contain the songs which he wrote for the best singers of his time. His secular dramatic compositions are all doomed, with a single exception, to the same fate, fur where, when, or how should Hercules, Semele, Alexander Bales, or Alcides be performed ? Unfitted alike fir the theatre and the church, there is no chance of their revival, although the first of these dramas may rank among its author's most perfect works. And even of his oratorios there is but one which could now be performed entire with any chance of success. In fact, the Messiah only is so performed. We must either, then, be satisfied with disjointed fragments from these works, or they must be regarded as a mine of musical wealth, from which the pure and sterling ore may be selected and recoined. The substitution of other libretti would, in most cases, be a profitable exchange, since those which Handel was content to adopt are, for the most part, clumsily constructed and badly written. Of some, Susanna for example, the subjects are indis creetly chosen—of many the language is feeble, common-place, and often vulgar. The poet (so to call him) has sunk the composer. The task of re constructing Samson was, on this account, an easy one, since the original drama of Milton (which may be said to unite the spirit of Hebrew poetry with the classic dignity of the Greek tragedy) was presented to the adapter, and was fully available for his pur pose. A succession of musical beauties, collected from the copious store that Handel has bequeathed to us, are now united to appropriate music, and a work in which the sister arts meet in befitting union is pro duced. The main incidents of the drama are retained, such especially as are fitted for mus i ca l express i on, and the successive scenes are completely realised to the imagination. The announcement of the festival in honour of Dagon opens the drama, and in the fol lowing scene Samson, Micah, and Manoah appear. Here, in addition to the pathetic lament of Samson, " Total eclipse," a song of great beauty is introduced —" These sightless orbs no more." Hobbs, who sus tained the part of the Hebrew champion, sang these with the feeling and gave to them the expression of a true artist. The morning sacrifice of the Jews com mences with a hymn, solemn and majestic in the highest degree. This is followed by a lovely quartet, " Lord, thy all-commanding might," Samson's well known song, " Why does the God of Israel sleep ?" and the chorus, " Immortal Lord of earth and skies." In the second act Samson encounters Herapha, the Philistine giant, and the scene is then removed to the Temple of Dagon, where, after a march which an nounces the approa c h o f th e pr i ests, the Pagan rites begin. A song and duet of a festive character excite the assembled multitude, who break into a chorus of rude revelry and impious defiance. Samson is then led in, guarded, and a shout of derision and triumph follows. Herapha again reviles him, and then comes the hero's concluding prayer, " 0 Lord, remember me this once." The companions of Samson assembled near the Temple of Dagon, hear the chorus in honour of the pagan deity, and reply to it by asserting the power ancrglory of Jehovah. Manoah's expression of hope at his son's delivery is suddenly interrupted by the crash of the Temple, throu g h w hi c h th e shrieks and groans of the Philistines are heard. The third act consists of the funeral obsequies of Samson. Of the general merit of the oratorio there can scarcely be two opinions. It comprises some of the finest music that Handel ever wrote, and is, therefore, beyond the reach of criticism. Many of the choruses now woven into this work have been often sung in separate and detached selections, such as " Immortal Lord of earth and skies," and " See, the proud chief advances," from Handel's Deborah. But the prin cipal introductions are the songs, which come from those neglected sources of musical wealth, his Italian operas. To these Handel himself had not unfrequent recourse, and Dr. Arnold, in his compiled oratorio Redemption, has largely and successfully availed him self of them. In fact, the only chance of hearing some of Handel's best songs must be presented by such op portunities as these. The oratorio was, with a few exceptions, admirably a alone not sufficiently developed to sustain the pitch of the voices, and the composition therefore suffered, but in accompanies, the the p nw hymn, e r of whichth e instrument org was general the choruses were sustained with precision and spirit. The principal singers all appear to have thoroughly studied their characters, and therefore sang them with more than mere correctness. Hobbs, in the difficult part of Samson, expressed the deep sorrow and the remorse, as well as the stern dignity and un shaken trust, which checker Milton's portraiture of the Jewish hero, with admirable truth and heartfelt expression. Madame Caradori Allan infused into the less arduous character—the Israelitish woman— great sweetness and grace ; and Miss Williams, in the Philistine woman, acquitted herself most credit ably. Weiss's fine voice told well in the songs of Manoah, and Machin ably represented the Philistine giant. A numerous and fashionable audience at tended the performance, and the deep attention with which.it was received was a convincing proof of the interest it excited. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. YORK, SErr. 25.—The first meeting of the General Committee was held this afternoon at the Council Chamber, in the Guildhall. The chair was taken by the Right Hon. the Earl of Rosse, the President at the last meeting at Cork, who was supported by the Marquis of Northampton, Earl Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Enniskillen, the Deans of Ely and Manchester, Professor WThewell, the Master of Trinity ; the Rev. W. Vernon Harcourt, the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, and most of the leading members. On no previous oc casion was the attendance more numerous and efficient. Colonel SAI3INE, the General Secretary, read a re port of the Council for the past year. In reference to a recommendation of the General Committee at Cork, meeting last year, an application had been made to the Board of Ordnance requesting their aid in making experiments with captive balloons, and from which orders had been issued to the commandant at Wool wich to afford every facility for carrying out their plans. Another recommendation to her Majesty's Government respecting the Ordnance maps in Ire land now in progress had also been attended to. It was to introduce a series of contour lines, which, showing the elevation of the surface of the country, would be useful to a variety of mechanical and engi neering purposes. Amongst other cases of their pro bable utility was that of subserving mining operations, being instrumental in the formation of cheap roads and the improvement of farms ; in facilitating drainage and irrigation, and improving the sanatory condition of towns ; in sinking Artesian wells, and expediting the formation of roads railways, and canals, and other pur poses of publi c utility. If such were introduced now by means of the large and efficient disposable staff which the survey had at command, it would save a great expense in the future special surveys for public works and the undertakings of private enterprise. The additional expense to be incurred would not ex ceed 10,0001., and it was suggested that the electro type manipulation might be easily adapted to the purpose. An interview which a deputation from the council had held with Sir G. Clerk on behalf of her Majesty's Government, respecting the publication of the results of Professor Forbes 's dredging in the iEgean Sea, had also been succe=sful. Professor Forbes, who had been appointed naturalist to the Beagle surveying-ship, had in the course of those ob servations dredged those seas from the surface to a depth of 130 fathoms in order to determine their animal and vegetable inhabitants, for which purpose Le had been aided by a grant of 1001. from the funds of the Association. In his researches he bad dis covered 150 species of animals new to science, and as certained the existence of a greater number previously unknown in that locality. The object of their appli cation to the Government was, that they would pub lish the results of these very valuable researches, so that they should not be lost to the world, and Sir R Pcel agreed that 500 copies should be printed by the controller of the stationery, of which 50 should be pre sented to different libraries, both at home and abroad, 50 to Professor Forbes, to ba given to those who had assisted in his researches, whilst the remainder should be sold to the public at much below the cost price. The treasurer had also received 1,0001. from her Majesty's Treasury for the publication of La- A vote of thanks to the Earl of Rosse, for presiding, was proposed by the Marquis of Northampton, seconded by Earl Fitzwilliam, and carried by acclamation, after which the meeting adjourned to next Monday, when the place of the next visit will be resolved upon. There is a spirit of very lively anxiety in this city on account of this visit. The attendance of visitors IS-, already more numerous than was anticipated, and their arrival has been welcomed by salutes from the bells of the different churches during the day. Amongst the members in the to w n, i n additi on t o those above mentioned on the various Committees, are Lord Itanelagh, Hon. Captain F. Grey, Hon. B. R. Lawley, General Austin, Rev. Dr. Bosworth, Pro fessor Oliver Byrne, Sir R. Steele, Mr. Griffiths, Geologist of Ireland ; Mr. W. Jerdan, D r . R. Ki ng , Sir J. Simpson, Mr. R. J. Murchison, Mr. R. Hutton, Mr. It. 11. Schombergck, &c. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 25.—The Cornet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Pretyman, having returned into harbour from surveying service, under the orders of Commander Sherringham, of the Fearless, which latter vessel had become disabled in her machinery, sailed on Sunday t'or Brighton, to convey the Com mander-in-Chief, Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., to this port, to resume his duties. The Comet, however, did not bring the gallant Admiral, who preferred coming in his yacht, the Fanny. His flag was rehoisted on board the Excellent, having been struck upwards of five weeks. The health of the gallant Admiral is by no means re-established, but is sufficiently re stored to admit of his conducting the port duties. The Heela, 4, steam sloop, Commander Duffill, arrived from Devonport on Monday, and came into this harbour to replenish coals. She will go round to Woolwich to refit, and then proceed to the Mediter ranean. The Fearless surveying -vessel, Commander Sher ringham, having had the damage to her engines re paired, left the harbour for the Southampton river, to resume surveying operations, yesterday morning. The Queen, 110, Captain Martin, was inspected on Monday by Rear-Admiral Parker, and having com pleted stores and provisions, sailed this morning for Plymouth. Those of the crew who were turned over from the Camperdown received wages on Monday, at which time such of the crew as were newly entered received two months' advance wages. It is expected that the St. Viccent, 120, Captain Rowley, now in the Sound, Plymouth, w ill return to Spithead on the arrival of the Queen. . _ _ All further attempts to raise the Swiftsure, the hulk (74), moored in Porchester Lake as a receptacle for Captain Norton's shells, to be fired from the Ex cellent gunnery-ship, under the superintendence and direction of Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, Knt., but which heeled over and sank last week, are abandoned, and we are informed she will be fired at and destroyed where she has foundered. This will be very dead game, however, the vessel having sunk up to her upper-deck ports. The experimental squadron is not yet ready, nor do we expect, from appearances this morning, that it will be yet for several days. The brigs are still incom plete in many departments, and the umpire's vessel, the Firebrand, very backward in equipment indeed. The Pantaloon is the only brig belonging to the squadron at this port which has bent sail. SIIEERNESS, TUESDAY—The Mutine, 12, Com mander R. 11. Crawford ; Espiegle, 12, Commander T. P. Thompson, new experimental brigs ; and Cruiser, 16, Commander E. G. Fanshawe, were towed from Chatham by the Monkey and Africane steam-vessels on Saturday, and anchored at the Little Nore, where, yesterday, they were inspected by the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir J. C. White. This day at noon they got under weigh for Ports mouth, with a fresh breeze blowing from the north east. The Mutine had a quarter of an hour's advan tage over her competitors in breaking ground. The Espiegle, however, appeared to be the favourite. The Port Admiral attended the squadron in his yacht as far as the Great Nore, to observe the performance of the respective brigs under canvass. Sir G. Cockburn, and other members of the Board of Admiralty, are expected to visit and inspect this port and arsenal daily. The name of the successor to the late Captain r. Fisher, as superintendent of this dockyard, with the charge of the ordinary, has not been announced up to post time this evening. No commissions ha ve arr ived for any ship s now ready fur the pendant at this port. THE JEWISH FESTIVAL OF THE FEAST OF THE TABERNACLE. — Last evening (Friday), at sunset, the festival of the Feast of the T a b ernac l e commenced, whichis celebrated with much pomp a n d re j o i c i ng by all ruem burs of the Jewish persuasion. The festival continues during the following eight days. On the first and last two days no business whatever is transaoted. All those who have the means erect tabernac l es i n their gardens, itron. The seventh the tops being willow, and decorated h green with fruits and flowers, and branches of the palm . and oc casion the live books ,of y moissetsh,eogrrtaild i d k ay; t , a o t t e i n ‘ e v h h , ic s h pi oc en: decorated, are carried seven nines round the Syna gogue, accompanied by the priests and elders, carrying the sul,ib and citron, each member of the congregation holding in his hand a bunch of myrtle, which he strikes on the bench as the procession pa, , ses seven times. con sidering that as the leaves of the myrtle fall, so will their s i ns . The whole of the congregation remain standing, chanting the prayers appointed for the occasion. After the Pentateuch is placed in the ark, the Chief Priest standing in the centre, receives the offerings of the con gregation towards the support of the poor. On the eighth day the rejoicings of the law takes place, the bridegroom of the law appointed for the occasion, read ing the last seven chapters of the Pentateuch. SAVINGS' BANICS.—The National Debt Commis sioners, in conformity with a resolution of the House of Commons, are requiring further returns from trustees of savings' banks, in order, as believed, to reduce the yearly and the gross amounts to be invested by deposi tors. It was expected that the recent Act of Parliament applying to those institutions would reduce the depo sitors' amounts, but it does not ; hence the present eon emplatioi. !
