"( l amusing tales, but up to the accession of the Peel Minis try, generally ending with a violent dissertation on , the politics of one party or another in the State. Peel's reign commenced, the writers have found it a, ntost difficult task to put the political engine in motion. Tney could not get up the steam for want of fuel, and lattrly, so scanty has been the supply, one party artio2e in the course of three months has been reckoned 0, fair average for the market. Even that amount, Nortl 3, with all his strong Tory principles, could not furnish. Others bare been more productive, but perhaps to less p urpose, for what with a wish to blame, or to praise, the 2onduct of the Minister, and a want of power to discern the ob jects of his policy, they have not unfrequently be( m com pelled to unsay in one article the arguments whi, .1h they had put forth with much gravity and assurance. in another. These are the natural results of the pro tent state of parties. Peel has confounded Whigs and 'Tories. Kis old friends occasionally write against him, but they write without hope. They have no other idol to substi tute in his plate, a sort of interregnum exists, and they trust to the chapter of accidents for a new leader,. :and a better state of things. The Whigs, the Liberals, .a.n,l the moderate Conservatives, and all the other sections, if we except the thorough-going Radical, have new , reason to find fault. The two first, in fact, can only corn plain that they are not allowed to work, for they canna t say that their work is not done. They hare been shoved from their places by their skilful adversaries , who have tikkir up their trade, and now carry on the fire 1, as nathan would say, under a new name, but with more enterprise, and a great deal more capital. These rea sons sufficiently explain the absence of those angry dis cussions which were formerly appended to the literary dissertations in the Magazines. Blackwood has, how ever, contrived to infuse a little Tory policy into the present number by reverting to events now nearly half s century old. He has gone back to the time of Pitt and the French Consulate, and the partition of Poland. " Marston, or the Memoirs of a Statesman," has for months been rather a heavy and prosy production, but it has been imbued with fresh vigour by the astonishing events which it describes, and we are glad to find owes that rigour, not so much to the violence of Tory prepos- sessions, or to selfish attacks on the policy of the Whigs during the long reign of Church and State principles, as to a generous and catholio spirit in the cause of freedom, and a sincere regret that the man of the age sacrificed Poland, and threw away countless blessings which he might have conferred on mankind, to gratify his boundless and wicked ambition. The following extract will bear out our remarks : " The partition of Poland was the most comprehensive and audacious crime of the modern world. It was a deliberate in suit, at once to the laws of nations and to the majesty of the great Disposer of nations. And never fell vengeance more immediate, more distinct, or more characteristic. The capital of Autria twice entered over the bodies of its gallant sol diery ; Russia ravaged and Moscow burnt ; the Prussian army extinguished by the massacre of Jena, and Prussia in a day fettered for years—were the summary and solemn retribution of Heaven. But, when the penalty .was paid, the fate of the executioner instantly followed. Guilt had punished guilt, and justice was to be alike done upon all. Napoleon and his ern ** vanished, as the 'powder vanishes that explodes the mine. Th, round was broken up; the structures of royalty on its wines were deeply fractured; the havoc was complete; but L lery deposit which had effected the havoc was itself scat tered i l zto " His en-establishment of Poland would have been an act of grandeur.. It would have established a new character for the whole Revolution. It would have shown that the new spirit which had gone forth summoning the world to regenera tion, was itself regeneration ; that it was not a tempter, but a restorer; that all conquest was not selfish, and all protestation not meant to deceive. If Napoleon had given Poland a diadem, and placed it on the brew of Kosciusko, he would, in that act, have placed on his own a diadem which no chance of the field could have plucked away ; an imperishable and dazzling answer to all the calumnies of his age, and all the doubts of posterity. He might even have built, in the re storation of the fallen kingdom, a citadel for his own security : in all the casualties of empire; but, in all events, he would ihave fixed in the political heaven a star which, to the last re seollection of mankind, would have thrown light on his sepal sere, and borne his name." In the same article is a brief allusion to the death of Pitt, in which we heartily concur. "It was said," says the writer, " that Pitt died of a broken heart, in despair of the prospects of England. The defeat of Austerlitz was pronounced his death blow. What thoughts may cluster round the pillow who shall tell ? But no man knew England better—none had a bolder faith in her perseverance and principle—none had more broadly laid "the foundations of victory in national honour. I shall sever be driveit into the belief that' William Pitt des paired of his country." Yes—who can tell what thoughts may cluster round the sleepless pillow ? Dis ease of body produces awful changes in the mind. The "land of death unnerves the strongest spirit, yet there ore men of the present day, vainly calling themselves British historians, who attribute the words " 0 my country" (we beli..?ve they were never uttered), to the convictions of a rational mind, and, with a want of na tional spirit, rendered only more disgraceful by repeat ing the reveries of the dying, encourage the French in their vain-glorious boastings, that Bonaparte had not only Wiled Pitt, but subdued the spirit of his country men. Pitt never despaired of England. North still continues his " Specimens of the British Critics," and in the present series has enlivened them a little by a viru lent attack en the poet Churchill, the friend of Wilkes. Had it been less coarse, it would have been more &Yee :tive. His character is thus summed up :—" lle let*: his profession, the Church ; and he exchanged his wife, af ter many years' cohabitation, for a mistress ; two para mount desseeati 6 ns unhappily met. And the trumpet call to the war-fie2d of patriotism sings but uncheeringly when the blast is winded by the breath of Wilkes." COLBURNS .NEW MONTHLY. The most valuable article in this Number, perhaps we should not be far wrong in saying, the most valuable Magazine article of the month, is the one entitled " Con fessions of a Water Patient, by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart." It appears that sixteen years of wear and tear in the literary, political, and fashionable world, had completely upset the physical well being of Sir Ed ward—that for years he never bad passed twelve hours without pain or illness—that his constitution was, in ;fact, completely shattered. Various physicians pre scribed various rea'iedies—he tried them all. He tra velled, he retired to .the seaside and lived quiet, still his sufferings continued uoalleviated, and gastric irritation rendered his lib wretched. At length he was induced to try the cold water cure, and went to Malvern, where he placed himself under the care of Dr. Wilson, of whom and of his establishment he si. , eaks in the highest terms. A two months' course of hydropathy nearly restored aim to health. He was called Away to Germany. On his journey he took cold, fever came on. Fortunately lie was near the hydropathic establishment of De Schmidt, at Boppart, to which he was conveyed, and under cold ) water treatment he recovered in two days. He is now in better health than he has been for years, and he at tributes his recovery entirely to cold water. tihe use of the wet sheet has always been represented by anti- hy dropathists as most dangerous ; according to Sir Ed ward's account, it =At be the mildest of remedies. It is infect a very gentle continuous vapour bath, not attended with the danger of tk cold effusion so strenuously recommended by the late .Dr. Currie in cases of fever, and infinitely more efficacious, as its action may with safety be kept up for any lee: gth of time. Every new .remedy suffers, perhaps, more from the exaggerations of Unreasoning bel;evers than frcerri the a tte.eks of the sceptical. It is therefore no small advantage to have the opinion of such a man as Sir Edw.ard Bulwer Lytton on the capabilities of hydropathy, more especia!iy when that opinion is founded on personal experience and close observation. The subject is one of ;such vast im yortance that we offer no apology for the length of the following extract. " It remains for me to say, merely as an observer, and solely with such authority as en observer altogether disinterested, but without the least pretence to professional science, may fairly claim, what class of diseases I have seen least, and what most, tractable to the operations of the water cure, and how far en thusiasts appear to me to have over-estimated, how far sceptics have under-valued, the effect. , of water as a medicament. There are those (most of the water doctors especially) who contend that all medicine by drugs is unnecessary—that water internally and outwardly applied suffices in skilful management for all complaints—that the time wil. l come when the drug doctor will cease to receive a fee, when' the apothecary will sloe* his shop, and the water cure be adopted in every hospital and by every family. Dreams and absurdities! Even grant ing that the water cure were capable of all the wonders ascribed to it, its process is so slow in chronic eases—it usually /squires such complete abstraction from care and business—it takes the active man so thoroughly out of his course of life, that a vast proportion of those engaged in worldly pursuits cannot hope to find The requisite leisure. There are also a large number of complaints (perhaps the majority) which yield so easily to a sparing use of drugs under a moderately compe tent practitioner, that th e convenient plan of sending to the nest chemist for . your pill e'r potion can never be superseded, nor can I think it desirable I.`hat it should be. Moreover, as far as I have seen, there are complaints curable by medicine which the water cure utterly fails to reach. " The disorders wherein hydropathy appears to me to be least effectual are, first neuralgic pains, especially the monster pin of the tic doloreux. Not one instance of a cure in the latter by hYdrepathy has come under my own observation, and I have only heard of one authentic case of recovery from it by that process. Secondly, paralysis of a grave character in per sris of an advanced age. Thirdly , in tubercular consump tion. As may be expected, in_thtstagereosftrhe, bu that tI have melancholy v e 'disease, the w a t er cure utterly fails to restore , &Down it even here proloisg life, reasonable calcula beyond all rea Ceti, and astoni s hi ngly rel i eve the more oppres sive symptoms.

Those cases, on the other hand, in which the water cure Seems an absolute panacea, and in which the patient ma ) corn _ winos wile the most sanguine hopes, are, first, rheumatism, however pro longed, however complicated. In this the cure is usually rapid—nearly always permanent. Secondly, gout. Mere its effilacv is little legs startling to appearance th an i n t h e forum case ; it seems to take up the disease by the roots; it extracts the pecuhar acid, which often appears in discolora tion. upon the sheets used in the application, or is ejected in ether modes. lit here, judging always from cases subjected to my personal knowledge, I have not seen instances to justify the assertion of some water doctors, that retuyns of the disease do not occur. The predispositii.'n—the tenainoy, has ap pee.red to me to remain. The patieot is liable to re lapses —but I have invariably found them far less I..requent, less leiNthened, and readily susceptible of simple and speedy cure, espec i ally if the habits remain temperate.

Albert Smith's romance, " The Marchioness de Brin villiers," increases in intersity of interest as it draws near to a conclusion. The guilty Marchioness, at the instigation of her paramour - , Saint Croix, poisons both her brcthers. Saint Croix, who has endeavoured to cheat the physician from wilom they obtained the poison, is himself poisoned by, the Italian, and it is not until after the death of St. Croix that the wretched - physician discovers that be has killed his own son. On the death of St. Croix his effects are seized by the authorities, and among the rest a cabinet which is claimed by the Marchioness as her property. It is opened, and found to contain various preparations of poison. She hastens to her own residence, knowing that the police have possession of the cabinet, and at this interesting summit the story breaks off for the present number. Mrs. Mathews continues her sketches of ennobled actresses, and gives us the short but entertaining biography of the Countess of Craven (Miss Brunton) and Lady Thurlow (Miss Bol ton). The outpourings of D. Canter consist of a series of amusing reminiscences of poor Power, and the subject of the literary retrospect of , :.he departed great is John Galt. The Gaol Chaplain continues his dark pages from "Life's Volume." We must confess, however, that we prefer the story of the bright pages of life, and there fore are under infinite oblietutions to Alfred Crowquill for introducing us to his atent, " a good-natured wo man," one of the most simple-minded and kindest hearted of creatures. It a sketch not unworthy of Goldsmith. Paul Prendergast introduces us to a dan gerous character, Mr. Thwailes. Imagine a man aping in decent society, at the present day, the intoler able and disgusting brutaliti es of old Sam. Johnson, and imagine Paul Prendergast s:itetching adventures of such a man, and, good reader, you may form some idea of the treat that is in store for yon. Bentley eschews politics ; neveraheless, in the present Number, there is a short address to the gentlemen of England, which is more worthy the attention of those to whose care the destinies of this great nation are con fided, than all the p'litical articles which have appeared in all the magazines for the last twelve months. It oc cu. s at the conclusion of an interesting narrative, en titled, " A Press-gang Hero," a narrative founded in fact, by Robert Postans. Thus does Mr. Postans ad dress the gentlemen of Englat d : " A word to the Gentlemen cf England who live at home at ease.' You cannot be igeorent that powerful rivals are striving to overmateh you on that element yeu fondly call your own. Think yea not that there are many more old sea men along your coast who h tve similar tales of neglect and wrong to recount to younger raarieers? Know you not there are thousands, and their warning voices perchance has influ enced them to adopt a service irz every respect opposed to yours, and may affect the manning of your ships at the present hour. Let the truth be told. Seamen will not enter the navy they shirk it—it takes months in these• times of peace, with a luxury of sailors, to man a ship of war. They prefer the American to the British marine ; and why ? because the pay is better, and the service made more palatable. This is not a flattering ex ponent of the spirit which your mariners bear towards the navy. Be wise in time ; and remember that one decisive vic tory over a British fleet would be more destructive to you than the loss of a score of Waterloos P nay, your seamen have been so used to victory, that a drawn battle, ship for ship, and gun for gun, would be a triumph to your foe, and a defeat to you. You cannot afford to lower the prestige of your flag ; if your seamen are not invincible, the world must not know it. There is po licy in making the fox's skin piece out the lion's hide. " You have lieutenants sufficient to man a stout fleet of line of-battle ships on your half-pay list, and admirals and captains enough to officer all the navies in the world. Ships—noble ships you have in profusion ; but seamen—the muscles and bones to put all these vast resources in motion—are not to be found. The inference is plain. Jack feels himself neglected, and seeks employment where he is better treated. Be assured the seaman of the list war is an altered man—he is changed with ihe times the thoughtless beings who fought so valiantly for you in the last war will not readily be found again. The days of frying watches and eating bank-notes between slices of bread and butter are gone, and are only remembered now as so much yarn. " Endeavour to make the service popular by increased pay, and comfort to the seamen ; let him feel he is protected, and he will protect you ; he will be, as he always has been, the van of your vanguard. Be wise in time then, gentlemen of Eng land, or peradventure the hazards of some future war may make it a difficult matter for you to live at home at ease. " Now, we know, from our own personal knowledge, that every word here stated is true. Seamen will not enter the British navy so long as the Americans offer them better pay, better treatment, and better chance of promotion. The price of labour is regulated like that of every other commodity, by the demand. In callings in which the supply exceeds the demand, our Legislators (who are at the same time all employers) are willing enough to admit and act upon the truth of this doctrine. Let them also acknowledge its truth in the case of the navy—there the demand for able-bodied seamen exceeds the supply, and to obtain that supply the employers must pay the price. Let then the Government look to it in time, that should a war come it may not find us unprepared. Awful will be the reckoning to which the country will bring those who by their want of precaution and by their penny-wise and pound-foolish economy shall destroy the preilige of invincibility which has hitherto always attached to the British navy. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The first paper in this Number, "Peel's Policy to wards Ireland," is an attempt to run a parallel between the policy adopted by two premiers respectively (the interval of just a century elapsing between their adminis trations) towards Ireland. The systems of the two Sir Roberts, it is contended, is identical in principle—varied only as to the means resorted to for carrying it into ex ecution. This system is described to be the government of Ireland through " the instrumentality of under takers." The " undertakers' employed by Walpole were the Protestant aristocracy of that country. The " undertaker" relied on by Peel are its Roman hierocracy. " There must be on both sides concession as well as claim. Undertakers, if they do a Minister's work, will require a reeom • oenee ; and the man in office, who needs their instrumentality to effect his own ends, must, in turn, lend himself as an instru ment to accomplish the encls they insist on." Allowing for a great deal of political prejudice, and that false colouring in which it rejoices, this paper is one of considerable talent, a rttl extremely little candour. " Jerusalem," a review of ‘‘ The Holy City," by the Rev. Geo. Williams, M.A., late Chaplain to Bishop Alexander, at Jerusalem (L ord Parker), is made the vehicle for a tedious and vithal very unsatisfactory topographical disquisition. The " Antholegia Ger manica," of which we have, 'here, the twenty-first paper, contains one or two translati ens of not very favourable specimens of the singular genius of Heinrich Heine. From the " Zeitgediehte" of ,Freiligrath, on the other hand, we have a noble lyric " On the Execution of Don Diego Leon," shot in Spain, in 1841, by order of Espartero. It is tAso long for extract, and too good for abridgment. From .so:•ne stanzas by Baron Zedlitz, entitled " The Midniglst Iteview," we give that which stands Number ILL " And when midnight s nibes the sky, The Emperor leave s his tomb, And rides along, surrounded by His shatiowy Staff, through the gloom.

One would have thought ti, at the character of Cicero, after a lap,:e of nineteen c en tnries, had been esta blished beyond the possibilit- v of a doubt, and that all his frailties, including his vani: ,y, his want of candour and courage, and his revengeful ai s o‘sition when victorious, had become familiar to ever r cimssi;:al reader. Our re specti d and accomplished . friend, " Morgan Rattler," however, thinks otherwise, and he has therefore consi dered it necessary to write a very interesting, though a rather partial article in dri ming *Manua between the great orator and his rival and e nemy, Mare Antony. The lat cr, of course, has the preference i for, taking i till his distinguishing teatui yhjters, it would be difficult =, es, al ......vhibited by ancie nt Ito come /04 FAY ot h er co. elusion than that he far surpiissed Cicero it, gencroNity of mind, in daring exploits, and in manly acquirc,- - ients. Cicero, however, has the advantage in the eyes of superficial observers. His eloquent orations, which are read in every school ; his elegant taste for literatuie, and his unsparing abuse of Antony, have raised him to a pinnacle of fame little merited by his other qualities. Antony's speeches and general character are much less known and appreciated, and the writer, therefore, de serves praise, even at the present hour, for making them more conspicuous to the general reader. However the matter was arranged among the Triumvirs, it cannot be said that Antony proscribed Cicero. His name was placed in a different list, and possibly he would not have been proscribed at all, if Antony had been supreme dictator. So much in Antony's favour. " Yet," says " Morgan Rattler," " upon the faith of the sonorous abuse heaped by the common railer upon Antony, nine-tenths of the world are satis fied to enter up judgment of utter condemnation against him, and not this alone, but to accept hjs enemy as a virtuous philosopher, a pure patriot, and a sort of blessed martyr. But the truth is, that if no second philippic had been written, if not one of the fourteen philippics had been spoken, the deeds done by Cicero against Antony fully justified him, according to the doctrines and feelings of that day, in wreaking the severest vengeance on his head. Twice, at least, Antony would have been assassinated, if the advice of the gentle philo , sopher had prevailed." These facts, about which there can be no doubt, and others enumerated, throw a stain on the memory of Cicero, and make the world less regret his untimely end. In fact, his own timorous, wavering, and cunning disposition brought on his fall, for had he used common diligence in making his escape. had be not lingered on the coast of Gaeta with the hope of some change taking place at Rome in his favour, he would have been allowed to leave Italy in safety. The article altogether places the merits of the two statesmen in a clear point of view, and if we except a decided bias against Cicero, perhaps not unwarranted by history, the contrast is not far from the truth. There are two other articles in the present number not less entitled to praise, one of which is entitled, " Greek and Roman domestic affairs," and the other a review of Victor Hugo's Lyrics. The former is limited to the domestic customs of the Greeks, those of the Romans being reserved for a future nnmber. It is founded chiefly on a work of Becker, a German philosopher, and gives a good idea of the manners and customs and amusements of the lively and intelligent people of Attica. Their houses, their halls, sleeping apartments, banking system, dinners, festivals, and fu neral ceremonies are amply described, and give us a much more favourable idea of Greek customs and re finements than of those which distinguished the masters of the world. The other article which we have men tioned, does justice—perhaps more than justice—to Baron Hugo, for a great many of his writings are below mediocrity ; those particularly which aim at flights, like those of Ariosto, without the genius and prudence which controlled the course of the elegant and fanciful Italian. Many of his lyrics, however, deserve the highe s t p ra i se . Those on the rapid rise, the splendid career, and the un expected fall of Napoleon, are peculiarly spirited, and show that Victor Hugo has the real soul of a poet. We have room for only one extract, as translated by the writer, which describes the former master of Europe weeping on the barren rock of St. Helena, over the pic ture of his only child : _ HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-siiii,, CONTINENT COBURG, AUG. 26.---To-day is the anniversary of the birth of Prince AlLem, and an occasion so interesting. to the whole of the family circle of royal personage 4 who are assembled hero, has been cekbratPd in a style of simplicity and friendly mutuality of enjoyment be tween Court and people, that is delightfully characteris tic of German manners. The Palace of Rosenau was the scene, and the kind of paternal rule which seems to prevail here has not been more exemplified during the whole of the Queen's visit than on this occasion. It ap pears to be the custom, on such anniversaries as these, for the reigning Duke to entertain his subjects in various ways, with dancing, mom, and other more substantial festivities. This afforded a capital opportunity for exhibit ing to the Queen some of the peculiar customs and habits of the people, just as she was gratified the other day at the feast of Gregorius. After the usua l b rea kf ast i n the open air, the Queen, Prince Albert, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Grand Duke of Baden, the Duke of Saxe Coburg, and Princes too numerous to mention, came round to another front of the palace, op posite which is an extensive lawn, enclosed in the most exquisite flowers and foliage. Presently there emerged from one of the leafy avenues a gay troop of villagers, all :in their best holiday dresses, the men wearing large nosegays in their hats, which also were wrapped round with the most singular looking handkerchiefs in the brightest colours. Each man led a peasant girl, flaunting gaily in the picturesque cos t ume o f t h e country—the neat little jacket of red, green, or blue, the short skirt of black stuff, striped or variegated with the most brilliant colours, an d, t opp i ng a ll , the grotesque coiffure which is peculiar to the women about this part of Germany, half cap half turban, with a profusion of long black ribands suspended from a bright gilt ornament let into the top of the cap, which hang down the back or float in the wind. Their faces, brown with exposure to the air and ruddy with healthful toil, were now lit up joyously to the merry strains of national music which burst forth from a band stationed at one end of the garden, and in a few moments, at a signal from the Duke of Coburg, the whole of this gay party were whirling round the lawn in the gayest pos sible waltz. It was a pretty and heart-stirring sight, and the people enjoyed it so! Not the p eo pl e on l y , b ut also a long line of Queens, Kings, Dukes, Duchesses, and lords and ladies, of whom our own Queen was the centre and the most delighted of them all, if a merry laugh and joyous face are any proofs of true pleasure. Nor were these the only spectators. True to the practice of this country—where nothing is shut in from the public eye, and all seems one large succession of parks and gardens, so impossible is it to detect any boundaries, groups of people, either from Coburg or from the neigh bouring villages, the highest and the lowest mingled trustfully and friendlike in one mutual enjoyment, were to be seen at different angles of the lawn, not 20 yards from the Queen, or in the garden under the very windows of the palace. The Prince and the peasant stood side by side, all heartily participating in the same merry, laughing pastime The Queen, as has been said, appeared to be de lighted at so novel a sight. Sometimes, in the intervals of the dance, her Majesty or the Queen of the Belgians would call one of the peasant girls and talk with her, praising her dancing, or perhaps her dress, and the maiden thus honoured of course became an object of intense envy to the rest. One or two of the most handsome, and who wore the most picturesque dresses, were selected and detained at the palace as subjects for sketching—a distinction of which they seemed not a little proud. After this pretty scene had lasted more than an hour, the whole troop filed off again by the way they came, to the music of their own rustic band, and not forgetting, as they threaded their way through the park, to treat their royal visitors to a series of final shouts or screams, which, to say truth, smacked somewhat of Ojibbeway joy. Last night the Queen and the whole of the Court here again attended the theatre. The entertainment was Gutzkow's comedy, entitled, " Zopf and Schwert," which might be literally rendered " Queue and Sword," its object being to indicate the tenour of the plot, which consists of the usual struggles between a despotic mili tary monarch and those whom he desires to bend to his caprices, particularly the young and loving, who, of course, have recourse to all the little diplomacies which love teaches, in order to evade his harsh and troublesome decrees. BOSTON, AUG. 15.---This monster vessel safely ar rived in the Bay of New York on the afternoc,n of k3un day, the 10th of Augut, after a passage of fourteen days and twenty-one hours. She was trl graph( d at noon, but she was not positively known by the public gene rally to be near till about two o'clock, when thousands upon thousands of the New Yorkers proceeded in conti nued streams towards every spot from which a view of her might be obtained. For two or three days previous to her arrival false ru mours of her approach had been given, and some anxiety on Sunday morning began to be felt respecting her. Many supposed, and indeed it was so stated by the public press, that she would not sail from England until the second week in August, but all these uncertainties were dissipated by her appearance off Sandy Hook. Sunday is a great day with the New Yorkers for pro menading Broadway, and for taking excursions down the bay ; but the expectation created of seeing the far and wide renowned iron-ship, whose Bristol parturition was so difficult, and about which there has been such a multiplicity of opinions, made the banks of the river the only place of resort. I was sitting in a friend's parlour, in Brooklyn, when about half-past two o'clock I saw her smoke from my window, and immediately proceeded to the " heights," whence the panoramic view of New York city, the East River, and the Bay is exceedingly fine ; there I had the first view of the Great Britain. A regular New York August sun was pouring down almost intolerable heat, and the water gleamed like mol ten silver. Amongst a fleet of small steamers and river craft was the " big ship," a Triton amongst the minnows. She was approaching the battery, and seemed to be steering for the Itrorth River, but when she had shown herself to the thousands who thronged the promenade by the Castle garden—perhaps the most magnificent city promenade in the world—she turned as on a pivot, and slowly steamed over to the Brooklynshore, and then passed gracefully below the Heights, which, together with the Gowanns shores, the masts of shipping, the tops of houses, and, indeed, every spot which commanded a view of the river, were crowded. She then went on slowly to her wharf, at the foot of Clinton-street, where she was moored in safety. It was not until she got opposite the Battery that her great size made any impression on the spectators. As she passed the North Carolina man-of-war her great length was apparent, but I did not think she looked very elegant with her six low masts. The graceful rig of the American vessels is well known, and the Great Britain contrasted unfavourably in the opinion of many. Ne vertheless she was heartily welcomed, although there was no cheering ; the day forbade any demonstration of the kind. In five minutes Broadway was deserted ; young - and old, rich and poor, all flocked towards Atlantic-wharf, and the greatest difficulty was found in preserving order. A. few accidents occurred, but none of a serious nature. As the ship entered the harbour she was gaily dressed with colours, which streamed from each of her masts. At the gaff, the large union flag of England floated gaily in the breeze ; the first mast had the Austrian flag ; the second mast the Russian ; the third, the Spanish ; the fourth, the French:tricolour : thelmain, the union jack ; at the foremast, a blended flag of England and America, the stars of the latter country blending with the blue, white, and red of the union of England, and at the lower quartering the stripes. Some of the papers the next morning, with the usual American sensitive ness, came out pretty strong on Captain Hoskin, for not having displayed the American flag (they had not noticed the flag I have just mentioned), and expressed a great deal about the intended insult, &c. It was to be wiped out with blood, and all that. This was laughable enough, and when these journals discovered their error, the exhi bition was ridiculous indeed to the rightly-thinking por tion of the community. Whilst I was mixing freely in the crowd, listening to the various opinions which were broached, I was greatly amused ; one fellow, a regular wag in his way, turned his plug scientifically, looked at the royal arms on the bows of the vessel, and said that the lion was like one of their drinks, for he had a " cock-tail." This same lion was the subject of many a joke, and, to tell the truth, he was a very fierce-looking lion, and really provoked it ; but I cannot remember half of them. The best joke I heard, however, was made by an impudent young vagabond, who was singing out, " Extras—news from E u - ro p e ." He squinted at the flag which showed the emblems of both countries, and then bawled out, " I'm d—d if Great Britain han't an nex'd we." " 'Twas not the steps of that heroic tale That from Arcola marched to Montmirail On glory's red degrees ; Nor Cairo's pacha's fierce Numidian steeds Nor the tall shadows of the pyramids,— Ah ! 'twas not always these ; " 'Twas not the bursting shell, the iron sleet, The whirldwind rush of battle 'math his feet, Though twice ten years ago, When, at his breath, upon that sea of steel Were launch'd the rustling banners,—there to reel Like masts when tempests blow ; 'Twas not Madrid, nor Kremlin of the war, Nor Pharos on old Egypt's coast afar, Nor shrill reveille's camp-awak'niug sound Nor bivouac couch'd its starry fires around, Crested dragoons, grim, veteran grenadiers, Nor the red lances 'midst a wood of spears Swarming like purple towers among the golden ears. " No I 'twas an infant's image, fresh and fair, With rosy mouth half-oped, as slumbering there It lay beneath the smile Of her whose breast, soft-bending o'er its sleep, Ling'ring upon that little lip doth keep One pendant drop the while. " Then, his sad head upon his hands inclined, He wept ; that father-heart all unconfined, Outpoured in love alone. My blessing on thy clay-cold head, poor child ! Sole being for whose sake his thoughts, beguiled, Forgot the world's lost throne." At the close of the performance the audience, ac companied by the band, sang a German version of " God Save the Queen," substituting for the usual words of the last two verses a complimentary farewell to the Queen of England. The general impression amongst the Americana is, that she is not so large as they expected. I don't know what they would hare. To be sure, she is not so long as some of the North River boats, some of which are upwards of 350 feet in length, 16 of them going to a mile ; but then they would not do for ocean steaming ; and in point of breadth are far below the Great Britain. Her model is not greatly admired, and they call it clumsy. On the whole, she has not made such a sensation as per haps her proprietors expected, and is not considered here as a safe boat. People in America will prefer the Bos ton steamer or the packet-ships to her. Captain Hoskin informed me that nothing of any im portance occurred on the voyage out ; the passengers seemed all pleased with the accommodations, and spoke in the very highest terms of Captain Hoskin as a gen tlemanibrat. vibratory dmaotsioaniloirn. the T h G e y re r a r ß a r r i k t :d in oans co t h o e in very pare d slight that produced by paddle-wheels, and seemed confident as to the ultimate success of the ship. On Monday:notice was given that the Great Britain would be opened to the public at the rate of 25 cents. a head, and 12i cents. extra to the engine-room, so that she is to be made a show-ship here, just as she was in England. Thousands of persons have visited her, and all express themselves as being greatly delighted and surprised at her internal arrangements. Captain Hoskin is the lion of the week, and is followed by crowds wher ever he shows himself. From Boston, Baltimore, Phila delphia, and other neighbouring cities, strangers are pouring into New York, all anxious to see the " big ship." The royal party, after leaving the theatre, pro-seeded back to Rosenau by torchlight, as on the previous visit to the theatre. They start for Gotha to-morrow (Wed nesday) morning at eight o'clock, lunching at Meinin gen, and sleeping at Reinartsbrunn, a seat of the Duke's net far from Gotha. They go on to Gotha on Thursday morning. The royal travellers will leave Gotha on their return home, on the 3d proximo. They will sleep at Fulda the first night, at Wiesbaden or Frankfort the second, at Cologne the third, thence they will proceed by railway to Antwerp, or to whichever other port it is finally determined that they shall embark from. REINARTSBRUNN, THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 28. Her Majesty and Prince Albert have come thus far on their journey from Coburg to Gotha. Reinartsbrunn is a seat belonging to the Duke of Saxe Coburg, distant from Gotha nine or ten English miles. The royal party left Rosenau yesterday (Wednesday) morning, at eight o'clock, and they did not reach Reinartsbrunn till half-past eight o'clock in the evening. The further progress was postponed till this afternoon, partly on account of the fatigue of so long a journey, and partly that her Majesty might enter Gotha by daylight. The road traversed by the royal party yesterday was in many respects very interesting. The first place of any size, after leaving Coburg, is Rodach, where a very pretty triumphal arch was prepared, and the houses were very tastefully festooned. Crowds of people assembled to see the Queen pass. At a few miles further on tfie territory of Saxe- Meiningen intersects that of Saxe -Coburg, and here, within a short distance of Hildburghausen, on the top of a hill commanding a fine view, the authorities of Meiningen were drawn up to receive her Majesty on her entrance into the duchy. Hildburghausen itself exhibited a scene of great animation. The houses were all festooned, and in the principal part of the town the children were all drawn up by the road side—the girls dressed in white with ivy wreaths; and these, together with a body of the burgher guard (a peaceful-looking body of soldiers), and an immense crowd of people, greeted the royal party as they passed through. At other places on the road, a great part of which runs amongst the Thuringian Forest, and commands some very fine mountain and pine forest scenery, there were similar preparations, and particularly at Saxe-Meiningen, where the royal party stopped and lunched with the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Meiningen. They start from this place for Gotha this afternoon at three o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SALISBURY RACES. -FIUDAY. Her Mesty's plate of 100 guineas. Three mil es .

The distance from Liverpool to the South Stack Lighthouse oft Holyhead is Thence to the Tuskar Lighthouse From the Tuskar Light to Cape Clear Cape Clear to New York 3,008 Whole distance from Liverpool to New Y0rk...3,304 The Great Britain steamed this distance, against foul winds and cross seas, in 144 days, or 345 hours, giving an average speed for the whole voyage of somewhat more than 91 knots or nautical miles (which is equal to 104 statute miles) per hour. From unquestionable data in possession of her Majesty's Government, it can be proved that neither the Halifax nor the West India steam-packets have been able to maintain in their out ward passages (say for a period of six months) an aver age speed equal to what has been achieved by the Great Britain on her first voyage to New York ; although many instances may have occurred in which a homeward passage, made under favourable circumstances, has shown (as in the last voyage of the Cambria) an aver age speed of 101 knots or nautical miles per hour.— Times.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1845. 110.11, to: AI( i:o t' The. report of the Commissioners on this important subject is now printed and delivered to Members. After noticing the condition of various harbours, it concludes : —" Your commission hurnbiy recommend that a Board of Conservancy be established for the superintendance and protection of all the tidal harbours and navigable rivers in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ; that it be in connexion with the Admiralty ; and that it be permanent. That this Board have jurisdiction, by summary pro ceedings, over the waters of the tidal harbours and navigable rivers, notwithstanding any charters or Acts of Parliament to the contrary, with a reservation of pri vate rights under the charters, and the continuation of Local Commissioners where the Board may think fit. That the Board should have full powers, by the assist ance of engineers, surveyors, and others, to ascertain the extent of all nuisances and obstructions in tidal har bours and navigable rivers. That the board should be enabled to have a jury sum moned by the sheriff to ascertain whether or not any en croachment or other nuisance in a tidal harbour or navi gable river, has existed years; and if it be found to have been made within that time, that the board have power by their own order, at the expense of the party who made such encroachment or nuisance, to remove it. That the whole of the coasts of the United Kingdom be divided by this board into districts, and that each be placed under the superintendence of a competent person, who shall visit each river, port, harbour, and creek, at least once a year, or oftener, as it may be necessary, to inquire into and report on the state of each river, port, harbour, and creek in his district, and of all works which may be in progress there. That the Board should have power to enforce the ap pointment of a resident engineer or harbour-master, or both, at every port they may consider of sufficient im portance to require such constant superintendence. That every commission or trust of a harbour or nevi• gable river, or if there be none, every resident engineer or harbour-master, be required to make out and forward to the Board, before the Ist of March in each year, a de tailed report made up to the 31st of December, consist ing of an account of all such works as have been ex ecuted, with the expenses thereof, within the limits of his superintendence during the past year ; and a report on those works he would recommend to be undertaken during the ensuing year. And, also, to include in that report an account of all changes that may have taken place during the year in the depth of water, or formation of shoals, or any other change affecting the navigation of the river or harbour. That if any works, public or private, shall be com menced or proceeded with on grounds within the high water mark of ordinary spring tides, without having first obtained the sanction of the board or their super intending officer, it shall be lawful, and the board should be empowered immediately to stop such works, and to direct the removal of the same by the parties erecting them, and if they refuse so to do, the board may direct their removal, and charge the parties with the expenses. That for the protection of the public interests in the navigation of every river. p harbour, and creek of the United Kingdom, a clause be inserted in every fu ture Act, charter, or commission, which affects in any way the tidal harbours and navigable rivers of the country, giving power to and requiring the Admiralty to appoint one-third part of the whole number of Com sioners to execute the trusts under such Acts, char ters, and commissions, and also to have the power to change the whole or any of such third park. of Commis tnissioners from time to time, as the Admiralty shall think tit, so as to secure at all times a sufficient number, at each board or meeting of the trust, to protect the public interest against any bias or local interests. That the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty should direct the surveying officers employed in the seas of the United Kingdom to transmit to them, for the in formation of the Board of Conservancy, a list of all the parts of the coast on which they have been engaged sur veying, and the harbours, ports, creeks, and navigable rivers they h ave exam i ne d, an d on which they feel com petent to give an opinion, in case of any improvements or alterations being proposed: also, that in future, in every port they visit, they shall make inquiries relative to any embankments or encroachments on the harbour or river, and generally as to any neglect in the preserva tion of the ports; and forthwith shall report the same to the Secretary of the Admiralty for the information of the said Board. That hereafter the number of commissioners or trustees of any harbour or navigable river, docks, or other work affecting navigation shall not exceed twelve (12), and that four (4) be a quorum, with a view to a greater responsibility and the more effectual performance of the duties connected with such commis sion or trust. That to all existing harbour commissions or trusts the Admiralty shall have power to add new commissioners or trustees, not exceeding in number one-fourth of the whole commission. That the Board should have power to call upon every such commission, or trust, or harbour -master, as the case may be, to make out a correct account of all receipts of money by the said commission, in the course of the year np to the 31st of December, and from what source and under what authority received ; stating, also, the expenditure during the year, under separate heads, so as to afford a current account of the resources of each trust, and of the application of the same, which, after being duly audited, shall be transmitted to the Board of Con servancy on or before the Ist of March following. That the board should have power to order that a tide scale be placed in all harbours, and in certain ports that a self-registering tide gauge be erected, accom panied by a barometer, and that a record of these be strictly kept ; as well as a journal of the wind and weather ; of the arrivals and sailings, of cases of wreck, or of anything affecting the interests of navigation, and transmitted periodically to the Board of Conservancy. That in all suits and proceedings at law, by the Di rectors or Commissioners acting under any commission or trust of a harbour or navigable river, it shall be im perative on them to take the opinion of. and to act under the directions of the law officers of the Crown. That a summary of the proceedings of this Board be laid before Parliament on or before the 25th of March in each year. That an annual grant be made by Parliament for the support of the said 'loud. Among the last recommendations which we humbly take leave to lay before your Majesty, there is one which appears to your commission of essential importance to wards the improvement of our harbours, namely, the pro curing accurate plans and surveys on a sufficient scale of all the ports and navigable rivers of the United King dom ; not only for the present value of such plans as showing the actual state of the port, and as affcrding the basis for improvements ; but also to be preserved as documents for reference hereafter, in order to determine at any future time what changes may have taken place. Your commission cannot close their report without expressing, in the strongest terms, their conviction, that immediate measures for detailed inquiry and local exa• mination into the state sad condition of every port and navigable river of the United Kingdom, are indispensa bly necessary, with a view to that thorough superin tendence, without which many of the evils already re cited are liable to recur. And when they consider the great want of accessible harbours along the whole of the coasts of your Majesty's dominions—more especially when the extended use of steam navigation points to such great changes in mari time affairs, whereby every sheltered creek is likely to become of value—and when they consider that, by the improvement of our tidal harbours, your Majesty's beneficent intentions for the preservation of the lives and property of a large class of your Majesty's subjects may be best fulfilled, they earnestly trust that no minor consideration may be allowed to impede the accomplish ment of objects of such national importance. All which we humbly certify to your Majesty. W. BOWLE3, Rear-Admiral, M.P., Chairman. J. J. GORDON BREMIER, Captain, R.N. JOSEPH HUME, M.P. AARON CHAPMAN, M.P. EWARD R. RICE, M.P. THOMAS BARING, M.P.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--Ladies, whether temporarily exposed to the scorching summer sun, or frequenting the crowded saloon, or close assembly, will find Rowland's Kalydor a most refreshing preparation and auxiliary to comfort, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The numerous varieties of cutaneous eruptions, sunburn, freckles, tan, and discolorations, are pleas. ingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately clear and soft. Its purifying and refreshing properties have ob tained its exclusive selection by the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Continent of Europe, toge ther with the whole "elite " of the Aristocracy, and " haute volee." The high reputation it bears, induces unprincipled shop keepers to offer their spurious " Kalydors " for sale, composed of the most deleterious ingredients, containing mineral astrin gents, utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health. It is imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor," are on the En velope (an engraving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, and Co.) All others are fraudulent counterfeits 111 C OPY of a LETTER f rom WIL LIAM COURTNEY, Esq. To Mr. THOMAS PHOUT, 229, Strand, London. Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, H 144. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains In my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved tae—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.—' ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, he efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec lye for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including viatica, lumbago, pains in the head and faee, frequently treated as tooth-ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

AMSTERDAM, AUG. 29.—We continue to receive ac counts of the damage done in different parts of the kingdom by furious storms on the 19th, 20th, and 21st of this month. At Tienheven, near ',Utrecht, the inhabitants were alarmed on the 7th, at half-past six in the afternoon, by a terrible noise, and in less than five minutes several houses, barns, and haystacks, were stripped of their roofs, and many large and small trees uprooted and thrown down. AMSTERDAM, AUG. 29.—The Minister of the Interior has published a decision of his Majesty granting to a Company licence to carry into effect a proposal for sup plying Amsterdam with fresh water. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 29.—About 750 hhds. and tierces West India have found buyers since our last, at the former currency. Included in the above is a cargo of St. Vincent, which brought an average of about 50s. round; these were principally taken by the refiners, and the quality, generally speaking, was good. No sales reported in Bengali or Mauritius. Very little doing in rum, but prices are supported. Molasses is still inquired for.—Bristol Mercury. IRISII REAPERS.—A great number of reapers from the sister country have already arrived in Yorkshire, and are likely, in general, to find immediate and profitable employ silent. The scythe and the sickle are both in requisition in the corn fields of the southern part of the county, and this auxiliary force comes very opportunely to the aid of the Eng lish labourer for the security of his own food and his master's crops. The unsettled weather for some weeks past has given an unusual stimulus to harvest operations, and we should not be surprised to find the weeks of harvest diminished by the energy which a sense of danger has produced.—Leeds Mercury. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.--On the iron beams which support the roof of the railway terminus at Brighton three pairs of sparrows have built their rests, and may be seen assiduously engaged in rearing their young ones. he situa tion they have chosen is quite exposed to view, and but a few feet above the carriages and engin es , asd the neise and bustle attendant on the arrival an d d eparture o f th e t ra i ns . A man with a tremendous large mouth went to a dentist to have a tooth extracted. On opening his ponderous jaws, the doctor remarked that he needn't do it so wide, as he preferred standing outside to perform the operation. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—You will oblige by informing, through the me dium of your widely circulated paper, your correspond ent " Telegraph," and the public, whom he has no doubt unintentionally, and for want of attention, misled, in expatiating upon the merits of Corranna and Yardley for the Wolverhampton stakes, and selecting one of them as likely to prove the winner. As The Sun was the medium through which the mistake was conveyed, it will be your duty to give this letter publicity, or make the public acquainted with the mistake.—•l am, Sir, yours, &c. G. H. W. N.B.—The original acceptances are correct ; and if " Telegraph " will refer, he will find that Corranna, Yardley, and another were scratched since. Castle and Falcon, City, Aug. 28, 1845. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Guildhall Hotel, City, Aug. 30, 1845. SIR,—You have reported very incorrectly the fire that occurred on my premises on Thursday last. There was no burning of bond timber or wood of any description, and the heat was entirely confined to one room, it having been caused by a lodgment of soot in an old flue which had not been used for many years. By correcting the mistake in your next number you will oblige, Your most obedient servant, JAMES WALTERS. RAVAGES OF THE SEA AT CROMER.—In spite of all that has been said and done to prevent the inroads of the ocean on this healthy watering-place, we regret to say that it con tinues to make so much way that there is now very little doubt that, unless something be speedily done of a more substantial nature, the whole of this delightful village on the cliff will be swallowed up in the ocean. It is little more than half a year since we recorded some very important shoots that then took place, which, though they were denied at the time, were but too true. Those shoots and the force of the tides washed away the entire jetty, with large portions of the cliff, and in part under mined some cottages on the Sherringham side of the town We regret to add, that on Wednesday night last, by the power of the laud springs and of the high tides (the moon being at the full on Sunday), other portions of the cliff fell, and several of these cottages, belonging to a Mr. Rust, toppled into the vortex below. The cottages had been unoccupied since the farmer shoot took place, and were about to be pulled down ; indeed the men employed to do so had only a few minutes before they fell left the premises. A wall, recently built by Mr. Step_ pings, the proprietor of the Hotel de Paris, was also washed away, and has left that part of the town unprotected. We know not what degree of fear may be felt by the inhabitants, but when we reflect on the large shoot that took place on the 15th January, 1825, when twelve acres of cliff were en. gulphed in the ocean, we own that we feel some alarm for the safety of the town. The proposed protection walls, with tun nels behind to carry off the land-springs, would in ail proba. , bility have secured the town, but after spending 1.2001 for an Act of Parliament, there is scarcely a chance of the money ne cessary to effect these projects being raised. It is quite out of the power of the inhabitants to do it, and without the assis tance of the benevolent they must commit themselves, their land, their houses, and their handsome church, to the chapter of accidents ; and in that case Cromer will assuredly follow the fate of Shipden.—Bury Post. [ADVERITSgMENT.] —An Extraordinary Cure of a Diseased Knee of Ten Years' Standing, by Holloway's Pills and Ointment !—Mr. Edward Perryns, residing at No. 21, Fargate-street, Worcester, is now cured of an abqeess on the knee and a stiff joint, which had been bad for ten years, indeed, ever since he was fourteen.
