The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as no house in London can manufacture at their prices. The Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber dashers, but they make every article themselves, which enables them confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials, and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about to furnish, as the .only criterion by which the merits and de cided advantage of purchasing at Otis establishment can be fairly estimated.

GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, early NErr MONTI], in One Lot, VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE FOR PERMANENT INVESTMENT, situate in one of the FAVOURED DISTRICTS OF ENGLAND, in the Chapclry of Framlington, twenty four miles fr,m Newt astle upon-Tyne, ten from Morpeth, and the same distance from ALNWICK CASTLE, NORTHUMBERLAND. The property includes THREE EXCELLENT FARMS, with two suitable houses, and corresponding buildings, together with 723 ACRES OF VERY GOOD LAND, disposed in old pasture and arable, adapted to Gallons wheat and cat crops; and upon t'Senty-four acres beasts are fatted ; the roads are capit.tl, and the EDINBURGH RAILROAD passes th ropgh the property. The Estates offer a very solid seen. rity to those who would inv:st in perfect security. There is EXCELLENT FISHING IN THE COQUET RIVER, besides famous Grouse E. hp( ring on the adjnent manor, and lots of Partridges upon the domain. The tenants are of long standing asd highly respectable; the inveitmedt is consequently without an alloy of any kind. The Farms may be viewed, and particulars had at the White Swan, Alnwick ; Queen's Head, Morpeth ; and the Queen's Head, Newcastle; of Messrs. Bruinells, hlorpeth ; Messrs. Roy, Blunt, Duncan, and Johnston, Solicitors, Lotlibury ; at the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Landon. THE GLENBRANE PARK ESTATE, IN WALES, ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND IMPORTANT TEA-. TUXES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. QTR. ROBINS is Instructed to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, early in JUNE, by directions of the Trustee, acting under a positive power of Sale, THE GLANBRANE PARK ESTATE. It embraces one of THE LARGEST PRINCIPALITIES IN WALES, and, as it regards most of its contemporaries, it is distinguished as THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE COUNTRY. As it is intended to give a lengthenc , l description when Mr. Robins has completed his survey, it is only necessary new to re nark, that THE MANSION IS WORTHY OF AN EAST INDIAN NABOB, who is desirous of extending his influence, and aiding materially his lease for life. It is not intended, however, to disguise the fact that there will be scope for him to indulge in and demonstrate his taste in ornamental decoration, in contradistinction to bygone times. THE DOMAIN EXTENDS TO TEN THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND, including FIFTY-THREE FARMS, JUDICIOUSLY DIVIDED, commencing at Llandovery, and divided for four miles by the Mail_ road. THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL, NOT QUITE FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR. There is also THE ADVOWSON . AND PRESENTATION to the living of Liam, rtyd. To those who may have been sceptical about the title, it will he satisfactory to know that it has been recently approved by the highest authorities, and as a permanent investment it would be ditti. cult to find any to approach it, either for its extent, or the conse quential influence. Particulars will be shortly ready at Messrs. Roy,. Blunt, Dunczn, and Johnson's offices, Lothbury ; and at Messrs. Robins's, London THE RISEHOLME ESTATE, APPROACHING THE CITY OF LINCOLN, ONE OF THE MOST COMPACT I'RO. PERTIES THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, WITH ITS FAMED MANSION, PARK, AND ORNAMENTAL WATERS, AND 1,533 ACRES OF LAND, 13131 E. DIATELY SURROUNDING IT. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has received in structions from the Executors of the hte Reverend ROBERT CHAPLIN, to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the CITY ARMS,. LINCOLN, ON FRIDAY, May 24th, at One for Two o'clock precisely, . A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY, distinguished as THE RISEHOLME ESTATE, and unquestionably one of the MOST FAVOURED IN LINCOLN'S COUNTY; indeed the just renown it has enjoyed for many a long year, renders it less important to go into a detail of its varied qualifications ; the writer cannot, however, resist the delight and satisfaction of relating a few of its leading attributes. It is within two short miles of THE CITY OF LINCOLN ; and the traveller to the North will be delighted to recognise it in passing the Lodge -gate, where the Mail deposits and receives a London bag daily. THE STONE MANSION IS ONE OF CONSIDERABLE OUTWARD PRETENSIONS; and it claims to possess within an almost superabundance of convent. ones and comfort ; it is not however intended to disguise the fact that a lady (recherche in her taste) may indulge in her laudable propensity, and distinguish it here in the ornamental decorations. The principal roams va of good proportions, and THE BANQUETING BOOM seems to have been originally constructed with a view to accorn. modate THE RESPECTABLE CONSTITUENCY OF THE LOYAL CITY OF LINCOLN, and the time, it should aecm, is not far distant when this censum mation, so devoutly to be wished, will be accomplished. From all the Rooms the views are greatly augmented and improved by the ORNAMENTAL WATERS IN THE PARK, which are of an extent, and so wed imagined, that it is not diffi cult to bring THE FAMED VIRGINIA WATERS into Immediate recollection. The little Park, the Pleasure Grounds, and Plantations, and Wilderness which screen the abode from the wintry wind, are managed with so much tact and dexterity, by means of Vistas, selected with corresponding judgment, that a dis tant view, including, in the intermediate space, THE CATHEDRAL OF LINCOLN, lends its helping hand in varying and adorning the Picture; and it is a singular fact, that in A DEMESNE EXTENDING OVER ONLY FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE ACRES, the Turnpike-road from London should form a boundary of no less than two long miles, with a luxuriant Plantation in the shape of an ornamental belt, extending the whole distance. The offices connected with the Mansion are well secluded, and combine everything that a worthy possessor of the " PET PLACE OF LINCOLN" s an desire. THE EXTENSIVE WALLED GARDENS, with Grapery and Greenhouse, render it independent of auxiliary aid and expense. SIR RICHARD SUTTON, BART., who sojourns not far off, hunts this county with great spirit, and Lord Yarborough's Hounds are close at hand. Next in succession for favourable report are the Farmhouses and Ag• icultural Build ings ; they are well placed, of a superior order, including all the corn. forts thae FIRST-RATE YEOMEN SHOULD ENJOY. The present low rental (with the power to re-possess the Farms next Lady-day), and including the value of the Mansion and Park, may be estimated at more than TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR. The reader will probably at this period think that quite enough has been offered to claim especial attention, and that nothing very piquant has been omitted. Nous vcrrons. THE ESTATE IS EXTRA PAROCHIAL, exeept as to a small portion, and THE WHOLE IS FREE FROM TITHE, save only a fixed modus of 151. a year. To this may be added that THE TENANTRY ARE HAPPY, CONTENTED, and (what is no mean advantage) ARE ALL AFFLUENT. It is most cheering to see • the never.ending wheat ricks which adorn their rick yards. In conclusion, it may be remarked, that a purchaser must be fastidious over much who will not be delighted with "THE ROUND UNVARNISHED TALE" which is here so imperfectly told; and lastly, it is strongly suggested to all such as agree with Mr. Robins, that the Funds are at an ex. ceedingly high and feverish price, and that Land has been depressed till very recently in the same proportion, to make a visit to Rise holme, when, by means of occular demonstration, he will proclaim the present announcement to be very much within the limited meed of praise that it should have provoked. The Estate can be seen, accompanied with a Particular of Sale, which will have a beautiful Drawing of Riseholaie and a correct Plan of the Estate.

They have else discovered a NEW COMPOSI I lON for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made frora this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally impervious to acids. ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been found objectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. he Messrs. M. have been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW DISCOVERY, and they can fix the above without extracting the STUMPS, or causing any it:cumbrance. and even in GUMS of the most tender nature, meeting the adjoining Teeth, however loose.

JOHN PONTIFEX, Chairman. (ADVERTISEMENT.) RAIL WAY MONOPOLY. Extracts from a Report to the Committee formed for establishing Steam Carriage Communication on the Turnpike and other public Roads by means of Co lonel Maceroni's Steam Carriages, now sitting daily at Mr. Hodgson's Chambers, 21, Lincoln's Inn Fields. By Alexander Gordon, Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers. I am the last person to undervalue the benefits which may arise from Railways, when projected and estab ished under those peculiar (but, in my opinion, rarely occurring) circumstances to which they are especially applicable. But I .regard those circumstances as in every case, comparatively speaking, individual, local, and exceedingly limited in their nature ; while the bene fits arising from the general adoption of steam in place of animal power, in connection with all public convey ances, would be . co-extensive with the whole popu lation of the country. On the other bawl, whilst. the ' cost of railways, even for the very limited circumstances which call for them, is so enormous, the cost of steam carriages for common roads need not, in any case, be disproportionate to the probable amount of the work to be accompliiked by them. A railroad intended to convey 500 passengers st'day will cost as much as one intended for conveying 5,000 or 50,000 ; whereas steam carriages may be increased or diminished as the case may from time to time require. Steam carriages on common roads offer this immense advantage,—that they are able to run on the loug established and well-peopled roads of the country ; thus preserving the inns, towns, and interests located on existing lines, which must otherwise suffer by the edge railway system. They preserve to invalids, ladies, and children, their wonted accommodation ; also to com mercial travellers, who stop and transact business in all the towns, and who, by so doing, render their goods easily attainable, and give that constant support to inns which makes them so convenient for occasional travel lers. They preserve to those who travel for pleasure the noiseless and luxurious private carriage, and the privilege of selecting their own time, conveyance, and chosen company—an indepcmtnice quite inadmissible by railway transit. . • . Enough has been done by Col. Maccroni, Mr. Tel ford, Col. Pasley, Mr. Donkin, Mr. Bramah, Mr. Simp son, Mr. Field, Mr. M'Neill and myself, to confirm the conviction in all unprejudiced minds that the desidera tum was attained, and that, under good management, it could be beneficially used for public service. - . .. ~ . . In November, 1833,. an experiment was made, and our Report was, " there can he no doubt that, with a well-constructed engine, a steam carriage conveyance, on the turnpike -roads between London and Birmingham at a velocity unattainable by horses, and limited only by safety, might be maintained." • • • • • I would here observe, that very taken any trouble t o make themselves acquainted with the theory and pr ac ti ce of steam carria g e communi cation excrpt upo n R a il roa d s . They have, it is ula, been compelled to admit the possibility of steam power upon common roads ; but many of them—and I think they are without exception engaged on Railway under takings—doubt the economy of the same. Other en gineere, although they acknowledge bo th the p ossibi lity and the economy of steam conveyance by the public highways of the country, confess that they are fully occupied with Railway communication. The practica bility has been abundantly proved not only to engineers, but to the public at large, and to several members of your Committee ; and, that this Report may not be altogether bare of information upon the economy, I will add a few Imes on that head. • • • It must be admitted, that the difference in the de structive effect upon a steamer can only be in over coming the resistance of collision. Now, on railways the steamers are rapidly injured by this force, and the strongest wheels and axles are quickly destroyed by it. These carriages on the railway strike and bound from side to side, and skip along a hard unyielding railroad ; the wheels and axles immediately suffer, and the fine work of the engines, i m perfectly prot ec t e d b y rigid and ill-applied springs, almost as immediately suffers from such shocks. There is a want of sufficient flexibility in the springs, and the railway is entirely destitute of elasticity. . - . . I am, after . l ong and repeated o b servation, satis fied, that the destruction will be less on the turnpike road than on the railway. . _ . . . . My opinions upon this point have been coefirmed by the results o f numerous steam journeys, b y C o l onel Maceroni's steam carriage ; and I would refer you to Appendix Aof this Report. The results of my expe rience of the actu al ex p enses, including fuel, repairs, attendance, superintendence, and toil-money the tota t een passengers at a m ean rate of 15 mil es p er h our. - ex p e nses per mile ar e is. ; carrying, on an average, fill . . miles from London, which is . I know a valley , 6 passed by horse-coaches, and which I have passed by steam carriages, descending on one side, an d ascending on the other, at a speed of 11 or 12 mil es per h our. Over this valley an embankment and . . . viaduct, which cannot cost less than 200,000/., is con structed for a Railway. To pass this valley, therefore, will cost annually 10,000/. of interest, exclusive of the more immediate cost of carriages, maintenance of way, repairs of engines, & c ., which mu s t b e charged to some body, and therefore forms a charge on goods and pas sengers Railway engineers wou ld d o well to carried. think of this. Steam carriages on common roads do not require all this work. . . . . They can carry passengers and goods from towns situate in the lowest par ts of va lleys , or oth er l ow coun tries, to towns on hill-sides or in mountain districts ; not so railway locomotives ; the railroad may have a very fine level ; but if our residence be at the bottom of a valley, all our produce must mount a more than ordi nurily steep acclivity before we can place it on the rail way. If we reside on the high land, we must have all our necessaries brought up to us at considerable ex pense. The whole produce of the country is on different levels, and some undulations in lines of communication are absolutely necessary. So that, even supposing such levelling as railroads demand benefits the proprietors of them, it may be to the public a disadvantage. Now, steam carriages on the common road would set the carrying trade, and all other trades and pursuits, on an equal footing. The turnpike-roads of England and Wales alone, ex clusive of 130,000 miles of other highways, extend, ac cording to a report of the House of Lords in 1829, over 19,800 miles in length ; they have been constructed at great expense ; the trusts are heavily in debt. These roads form the grand currents of trade, through long established, and well-peopled, and busy lines : on, along, and across these lines every kind of carriage can pass, without a charge which can at all enrich the road trustees. On these roads competition in the carrying trade can always exercise its wholesome checks. Many of these roads, public property, with a free carrying trade, are at present endangered by the Railway mania, which Railways are private property, with a monopoly in the eaming trade. I made numerous trips, of many miles at a time, with Colonel Maceroni's steam carriage, between the months of August, 1833, and September, 1834, at a speed varying from 10 to 20 miles an hour, according to the " Clivitics" of the road, or the variable turnpike sur faces in the neighbourhood of London ; and after tra velling by this and other steam carriages over an aggregate of not less than 3,500 miles of common roads, I confidently recommend Colonel Alaceroni's carriage to your notice as the one by which you may accomplish the object you have in view, especially_ when it is sup plied with Colonel Maceroni's New Boiler Improve ments, with the nature and particulars of which I have, in confidence, been made acquainted, and which will render the new steam carriages far superior to the ori ginal one, of which I have spoken so favourably in thQ 2d and 3d editions of my Treatise on Locomotion, and other publications, as economical and perfectly safe. It is perhaps unnecessary for me to say, that the in ventions of Colonel Maceroni may be employed either as draggers for other carriages, or as passenger car riages. * 4 * Prospectuses may be bad on application to Mr. loclgson and to Mr. G.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. was much astonished, on my return to town after the Easter vacation, to find that several of my Liberal colleagues entertained doubts as to the vote they should give on Lord John Russell's motion on the 156. Surely they ought to feel, however dissatisfied they they may be with the slow progress reform has lately made, and whatever personal pique they may entertain on many points, that the first and most incumbent duty of all Reformers is to keep the Tories out of official power ; for if they should once be restored to office, owing to the unfortunate differences in the several sec- tions of Reformers, they wotiltiPiol;bly - reti;in — it - fOr many years, and entirely obstruct all future reformation. I find that great objection has been taken to the word "finality," which Lord John Russell is supposed to have used in reference to the Reform Bill. Ido not recol lect his use of the word ; but if he did use it, it could not have been intended to be applied in a literal sense. Nothing human is final in that sense. All things around us are continually changing. Every Act of Parliament which passes into a law is a refutation of the doctrine of " finality." Lord John must be understood to have intended that we ought not hastily and rashly to change our institutions ; we ought not to alter our establish ments as often as we put on a fresh night-cap ; hut it must be obvious that he did not mean to say that the Reform Bill could not be altered, because he has him self introduced several Bills to change parts of it. I do therefore most anxiously hope that no Reformer will give a vote on the 15th, the consequences of which may throw back the cause of Reform for a century ; and that every Liberal Member of the House of Com mons will recollect that he will incur a most fearful res ponsibility, if lie shall contribute to the restoration of Tory demi:l.6,m.

At Zurich, the central committee, not satisfied with the dismissal of Dr. Strauss from the University, is now attempting to prevent his benefiting by the pension of 1,000 francs assigned him by a decree of the Grand Council; alarms party in th• canton would appear to be labouring for the suppression •f the University itself. A letter from Vienna, of the 25th ult., now an nounces the approaching departure of the Persian envoy extraordinary from that capital for Paris. Several persons of his suite are stated to have already left Vienna. The same letter adds as follows :—" The British cabinet ap pears actively employed with the affairs of the east. A courier arrived here the day before yesterday, and, after two hours' stay, left immediately for Constantinople. A second, upon tho same destination, arri*ed here yes terday." I\lll. GOULD THE ORNITHOLOGIST.—This indefatigable naturalist is known to very many of our read ers as a native and long an inhabitant of Eton ; and proud, indeed, may Eton be to enrol so distinguished a name among her sons. Mr. G. and his highly-gifted wife (also a native of Eton, and one in every respect fitted to be a partner and assistant in his labours) left England for Van Diemen's Land some time since, and the following inter esting letter, written by Mr. G., dated Hobart Town, Oct. 5, 1838, has been received in England. We feel assured that it will be read with great interest by all residentin this neighbourhood :—" I am gratified with this country beyond measure. It is very beautiful ; and the impenetrable forests of the interior present features of the highest interest to me, teeming as they do with an immense variety of the fea thered tribes ; so abundant in fact are they, that you fre quently find the smaller wattle trees e n ti re ly cove r e d with the Rosebill and other kind of parroquets; the gullies, too, teem with honeysuckcrs (Meliphagidce) whose habits are extremely interesting and curious ; they flit from flower to .flower, and dive into each with their long feathered tongue in search of insects and honey ; they are so tame withal, that in the less frequented parts it is difficult to get far enough away to shoot them. The Governor, Sir John Franklin, has kindly afforded me every facility in his power, and every one to whom I had introductions has fully en tered into my views. I therefore hope to collect the ma terials for my work far more readily than 1 had anticipated. Although I have only been here 16 days, I have already formed a considerable collection of birds, nests, eggs, etc. —among others, those of the Cracticus hypoleucus arid My zantha garrula—with every information respect i ng them , I startedyesterday morning with the intention of examining a lagoon on the upper part of the Dement, but the wea ther proved so unfavourable that I could not get above ten miles up it; I found, however, many birds that I had not before met with, and returned late at night. My last two shots were at two opossums (Phalangista Coo/ii) by moon light; these animals feed on the topmost branches of the peppermint-tree, and are easily killed. We start on Wed nesday next for the west coast of the island, a part not yet explored by any one, and expect to be absent ten days." Mr. Gould's plan is to note down the following day the result of the previous day's sport, if we may so call it, in the following manner : he himself first makes outlines of the form arid attitude of the birds, Mrs. Gould fills up the details with colour, while the hues of the plumage are fresh and bright, and they are then handed over to the taxidermist, who prepares the skins, and takes measure ments, &e.—Windsor and Dan Journal. THE MASTERSHIP OF ST. KATHARINE'S HOSPITAL.—Since the news of the lamented death of Sir Herbert Taylor (who exired at Rome on the 20th of last month) reached England, the metropolitan and provincial press have been floundering sadly with reference to the party of the Queen Regent or the Queen Dowager, in whom is now vested the patronage of the Hospital of St. Katharine. Tho Globe, which really ought to have known better, considering that it bad " Cupid" at its elbow, came out pith the foilowing sapient paragraph :—" It has been suggested. altogether erroneously, that the Mastership of St. Katharine's is in the gift of Queen Adelaide. The appointment rests with the Queen Consort when there is one; but the Queen Dow ager is not a Queen Consort ; and when there is none, the appointment lapses to the Crown, as it did in the last instance." The Morning Herald, following in the wake of its well i nformed Contemporary, c oncocte d tne following piece of information (?) for the edification of its readers : —"iThe valuable place of Master of St. Katherine's Hospital, with the noble mansion attached to it in the Re gent's-park, now vacant by the demise of Sir Herbert Taylor, is in the personal gift of her Majesty, unconnected with her Ministers, though it is not improbable but one of them may have it." Now, in order to set this question fairly at rest, and settle all future quibblings on the sub ject, we insert the following extract from the " Report of the Commissioners for inquiring concerning Charities," having reference to the St. Katharine's Hospital :—" The Queens Consort of England are, by law, the perpetusl pa tronesses, it being considered as part of their dower. They nominate, pleno jure, the master, brothers, and sisters, and may increase or lessen the number, remove them, alter any statutes, or make new ones, at pleasure. When there is no Queen Consort, or Queen Dowager, the King nomi nates the master, &c., pro hac vice; but the Queen Dowager bath no power or j ur i sdiction when there is a Queen Consort. If, however, there is a Queen Regnant and a Queen Dowager, the latter would have the power in preference to the Queen Regnant." Lord John Russell, it is stated, as soon as he was informed of the death of Sir Herbert, sent, with most indecent baste, to the brethren of St. Katharine's for their Charter, doubtless, says a Con. temporary, having an eye to the Mastership himself. How lie will fare, under these circumstances, now, it "needs no ghost to tell us."— Windsor and -Eton Journal. ACCOUNT OF ADEN. (From the Asiatic Journal. ) " We have been favoured with a very full and satis factory account of Aden, drawn, some months since, upon the spot, by a gentleman eminently qualified for that task. Very little is known by the British pub lic of the advantages, or even the existence, of that port, which at this moment we may almost regard as a new dependency of the British crown. The advantages of cur possessing such a station are almost too plain to require any comment. The harbour, one of the few existing upon the extensive coasts of the Arabian peninsula, is excellent, and forms a natural outlet of Ye men, the richest province of that country, and, natu rally, one of the most fertile districts of the East. Even under the emaciating tyranny of the Egyptian Pasha, and its own native chiefs, the natural advantages of this country have not yet been wholly extinguished ; for we perceive that the exports of Mocha and Hodeida are, even now, occasionally at least, ♦ery considerable. The coffee of Arabia Felix, it is well known, is unequal led in the world ; being the indigenous denizen of that soil, its production is limited only by the apathy of the inhabitants, and the ignorance of their rulers : such, however, is the counteracting influence of these two causes, that the little island of St. Domingo is made to produce more of that valuable article, now regarded as one of the ❑ecessaries of life, than the whole extent of Arabia. Gums, balsams, frankincense, tamarinds, senna, besides ivory, gold dust and civet—all articles of great commercial yalue,—are exported, oftentimes in consi derable qeantities. A country pcssecsed of such natu ral resources, however destitute it may be of actual moeey, is literally and essentially rich : afford but free in gress to the British merchant, and you open at once a boundless outlet for theproducts of British industry. At a moment when our commercial flag is excluded, with jealous vigilance, from the markets of continental Europe, it is, we think, of paramount importance to secure the ad mission into those distant regions. But, viewed in another aspect, the possession of Aden becomes, to England, a subject of even higher importance. In the event of an irruption upon her Eastern empire by the barbarian hordes of Northern and Central Asia (an event which some of the wisest and most experienced amongst us look upon as probable, and the first wave of which they proclaim is olready approaching to our doors), the rapidity and certainty of her communication with India will, perhaps, determine the results of tbe contest. The enemy with whom she will have to combat can reach the scene of operations only by a difficult and tedious march through regions abounding with physical obstacles ; while England, mistress of the seas, and, with the right of passage through Egypt (a right which, if attainable in no other way, she mast be ready to pur chase by the sword), can, in a few weeks, concentrate, upon any menaced point, her European soldiery to sus tain and co-operate with the Indian armies of her colo nial governments. The possession of a commodious harbour between Egypt and India, accessible at all sea sons, and easily defensible against almost any force, would be invaluable as a coal depot for the countless steamers which, upon the supposed emergency, would soon swarm upon the Red Sea. Regarding the ques tion in this light, we are persuaded that the possession of Aden is even more important to us in a military than in a commercial aspect ; such a well-timed movement at the outbreak of a great contest has usually a great in fluence upon its subsequent progress, and, not unfre quently, determines its final event. " To give you a history of Aden would be foreign to the import of a letter. To speak of it, however, as it is, and what it is soon likely to be, when connected with the Indian Government, is the object of my pre sent intention. The noble promontory, which gives birth to Aden, is connected to the main-land by a nar row neck of low sandy ground, which not only forms the medium of traffic with the interior, but this neck also forms the head of two beautiful hays, called the Eastern and the Western, according to their relative geographical position. The latter, however, 1 which is often called Back Bay, is by far the largest, and affords the greatest security to shipping during all winds and weather. It is, therefore, in this bay, that the spot has been fixed for forming a coal depot for the supply of our steamers. We have narrowly examined this place, and when we saw that it is not only completely sheltered from every i wind, but possesses nearly 20 feet depth, at low water, within about 30 yards from the shore, it certainly can- . not be doubted het that it is one of the most desirable places which could have litere - found for supplying the intended object, FO happily situated as it is, half-way between Bombay-and Suez. The fixed point is a sandy one, extending about 180 feet from the base of a large rock, thereby affording ample room f or th e erec ti on o f a suitable store-house ; after this is built, the question will naturally arise, would it not be advisable, for pro moting the desirable objects of convenience and celerity of dispatch, to extend a pier, or jetty, so far, as to admit of the steamers' coming alongside the end of it ? We should certainly think it would, not only from the near proximity of the stones, and the cheap ness of labour, causing the expense to be compara tively small, but the facilities which such a building would afford to the extension of commerce would, we are convinced, at no distant period, tend to liquidate the whole original outlay. To reach Aden from this point you may either sail about three miles up to the head of this hay, or travel the same distance along its bold and inviting shore, where the rugged nature of the rocks rising before you seem to form an insuperable bar rier to all further progress. On looking more narrowly, however, you discover a small pass cut through the im rending rock, and it is through this pass that not only visitor, but all provisions and things from the interior, must pass through to reach Aden. It is, therefore, de fended with a huge door, or gate, over which is built a 1 strong battlement, provided with two guns, which are I ever ready to welcome an approaching enemy. To ' add to the strength of these powerful protectors, there are smell forts built on the pinnacle of each im- ' pending rock, which com man d th e p ass t o th e h e i g ht o f 1 500 feet, and limn which an irresistible fire could at any time be kept up. Having reached within this for midable gate, you next descend the pathway, with a high wall of solid rock on each side of you, for about a quarter of a mile, when the sight of Aden opens up to view. and then the scene is certainly enough to strike the mind with no ordinary feelings of admiration and surprise. You see the irregular plain before you, with a few scattered towers, or mosques, which seem, in the distance, all that is left to grace the present miserable huts that are built upon the ruins of former might and splendour. On looking from this plain, the next object which attracts the attention is the magnificent amphi theatre of rocky mountains, towering up around you to the height of 1,780 feet, and forming along the summit of their rugged ridge about 40 accuminated peaks, on each of which is built a strong watch-tower, from which the distant approach of an enemy could at any time be immediately proclaimed. This mighty amphitheatre, ' however, becomes deficient on that side of the town which looks to the east, where the sea from the front, or eastern bay, washes against its walls, giving the in habitants the benefit of its healthful breeze. To afford an equal degree of strength to this solitary open space, nature, however, seems to have been provident of her means, and placed Sierra Island about three hundred yards front the town, rising up in such abrupt sublimity to the height of four hundred feet, that the command from the excellent fort built upon its summit seems to set at defiance all manner of attack from the sea ; and as a proof of its power, we have only to mention that the conquering spirit of Al buquerque, with his fleet of 20 sail, had to retire from the irresistable force of its guns at the sad expense of wounded pride and humble ambition. The next ob jects which arrest the attention, after taking a passimg glimpse of the immense mass of loose stones and rub bish to which the former buildings are completely re duced, are the numerous walks and tanks which every- Miele . : attract the eve, and which, indeed, exhibit such a magnitude of labour and expense, that the mind is al ' most lost in wonder and admiration at the result of such efforts of human ingenuity and power. These tanks abound in such numbers that there really seems not a fissure or sinuosity in the side of the rockymount around you but what has an adequate recipient or basin built at its base, to receive its tributary stream—so careful have they been of collecting this essential element to human existence. Many of these tanks are built on a very magnificent scale, and to see the very excellent state of repair which they still represent would afford much interest to an engineer. Their use, however, has long since been abandoned, from the abundant supply of choice water which the immense number of tanks and wells in the plains afford. Some of these wells we found to measure 120 feet, and although producing the most beautiful water, yet from the greater convenince of others to the inhabitants, they are now rarely, if ever, visited. How much they have at one time been frequented I leave you to infer, when I say that the fric tion of the ropes in drawingwater haspenetratcd the hardest greenstone around their mouths, to the depth ef 5 inches. Before saying, then, that these are the chief objects which mark the plain of Aden, we should, perhaps, in clude the several beautiful marble tablets, which are here and there to be found, chastely engraved and erected to the memory of departed worth. The next great undertaking here, which gratified our researches, after all that was interesting, was discovered in trying to ascend the hi g h es t p i nnacle of Shumsha, which loo k s down upon the town. The work to which we allude began to obtrude itself upon our attention, after ascending about 800 feet, in the form of a large wall, gradually leading up the precipitous side of the im pending rock—on closely approaching it, however, we found that this strong wall, in many places as high as 16 PUBLICATIONS.

We did not measure the exact length of this road, but the amount of labour expended in overcoming the difficulties which stood in its way seems almost incalculable, and the perfect manner in which it has withstood the destructive influ ence of the course of time' would, I am sure, call forth the admiration of any engineer of the present day. Had it not been built upon the principle that bre,kwa ters generally are—l mean, in laying aside all chenaru, and allowing space between the interstices of the pave ment for the water to percolate, and diminish the force of its power—the road must have long since been swept into the valley beneath amongst the general wreck of confusion. Though we could discover no further use of this noble path, than leading to the summit of the mountain, where the ruins of two large buildings and tanks are left, yet, we believe, the magnitude of the work is such, that when associated with the extensive aqueduct,' discovered by the late Dr Hutton, they - form two of the greatest monuments we have to attest the former greatness and opulence of the town of Aden, which is now reduced to a miserable population of 600, composed of Jews, Banians, Arabs, and Sarnalhies. Such, then, arc a few of the most striking objects of the place which is about to be so immediately Con nected with the laws of the British Government. W e shell now, therefore, take a look at the effect wilielt ... such a desirable change is likely to produce on the com merce of the town, which at present is almost com pletely banished from the port, in consequence of the excossive system of oppression and taxation exacted by the Sultan on all mercantile commodities. IT , heii that oppression, however, is removed, and the British fl:nx heisted to proclaim protection and encouregement to the ' man of business,' the prospect then truly be comes a cheering one. The rich product 3 of Abvs sinia, which chiefly consists of gold dust, elephants' teeth, coffee, gums, frankincense, hides, and sheep, will immediately find their tray to Ad. o to give a return for the silks, cotton, pi, -c , .- goods, iron, and rice, which will be imperted here from England and India. To facilitate the sale through out Arabia of such valuable exports as thesl are from India, it fortunately happened that the road leatliLg 1 from Alen to the interi or i s th e nearest an d mos- nir-et to the richest part of 'Yemen, where the population is raost numerous (amounting to 3,000,000 or 4:000,000), and from which, curious to say, the highe,t celebrated coffee can be more easily conveyed to Aden, than to Ithe very port which has given birth to the name see ' Mocha coffee.' It must be admitted, however, i hat as long as the self-aggrandising spirit of the Turks, or rather Egyptians, continues to sway their aria of grasping power over Arabia, there e ill always be a great impediment thrown in the way of British cern merce here ; for what is it lint that monopolising spirit which has caused such a striking deficiency in the amount of our Custom-house revenue at Surat, and other parts of India, which used to send such valuable exports to the Red Sea ? The present state of affairs, however, is not likely to continue for a length of years, as I think we have seen enough to convince us that their newly acquired territories along the shores of the Red Sea are not, by any means, held upon a sure tenure of lasting possession ; and it is, perhaps, not unwise to predict that, upon the death of Mahomet Ali. such a political revolution will take place in Egypt, and so subversive of its present power, that the result may terminate in our getting possession of these dominions along the Red Sea, or in the restoration of power to those Arab chiefs, whose tribes at present succumb to their rod of oppres-' sion. In either of these cases it is easy to foreeee there would be an immense stimulus given to the commerce of Aden, as her local position and harbour of security give her a decided advantage over ports of the Red Sea, in enabling vessels to perform seve. ral trips to and from India during the year ; whereas the nature of the winds within the straits of Babel Mandel is such, that more than one can seldom, if ever, be effected by a native vessel. " With regard to the medical topography of Aden, which more immediately falls under our department, we have certainly not seen enough of the place to be able to give a minute and accurate description ; whatever careful observation and inquiry could, how ever, collect on the subject, it has been our earnest , endeavour to obtain. The chief point then con nected with this important topic is the climate of 1 the place, and how far it is inflacnced by its geo graphical position, and geological structure of the ground. On looking, at first, at the near approach which Aden makes of the equator, situated as it is in let, 12 d:: g. 47 min. N., and 45 deg. 10 min. of E. hang., we would naturally infer that the heat roust be great ; and it certainly would be so, were it no'. teat the delightful easterly breeze, coming over such a wide expanse of ocean, tends to make the air of an agreeable temperature for six months in the year. At this sea son, the thermometer ranges from 71 deg. in the na.r::- ing to 78 deg. in the middle of the day. Ditringihr.p months of summer, however, v,hen toe sub bee eines vertical, we were at first afraid to anticipate the extent of heat likely to be produced, from what we have expe rienced at Mocha ; but we are gratified to find that the difference between these two places, is then grently owing to the south-west monsoon extending its in fluence so far as to give Aden the benefit of its breeze, if not of its rain. And as the barren olture of the rocks, which arc chiefly composed of gr,:nite, sandstone, and greenstonc, affords no food for vegeta tion, there cannot therefore be any vegetable decomposi tion for the sun's rays to act upon to excite that malaria, which is generally so pro d uct i ve of intermittent fever ' within the tropics. As a proof of this fact, we did not find a single case of fever in Aden but what came from the interior, where vegetation abounds ; rheuma tism and ulcers were the only complaint s we chiefly r,e marked in the place. The latter we could easily as cribe to the poverty and spare diet of the patients ; and the former may perhaps be attributed to the freqin ney of the rains, which are not confined here to a perio- Weal season of the year, as in India ; hut the height of the mountains often attracts the clouds so as to be pro ductive of moisture. Aden may then be considered a healthy place ; and so much is it esteemed as such by the inhabitants of the interior, that upon all feverish attacks, a visit to the town is recommended as the The heat, however, during the summer. h m a o p u p t l , ls e , u a r l e ihough not nearly so oppressive as that of Mocha, yet still it will be as high r.s ninety degrees, and that temperature is enough to lead us to be pre pared to expect some cases of bilious and rennttan , fever occurring in the European constitution. To di minish that liability as much as possible, it hes been our careful endeavour to point out the mo-t eli gible sites for houses in Aden, and on Sierra Island where the occupants could always derive the gratefui , influence of the sea breeze."
