THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON Notwithstanding the boasted assertion, to the contrary, of. the apologists for the surveyor's ships, no official dispatches have been received by the Admiralty informing their Lord ships of the details of - the trial sailings. The cx parte state ments puffing the surveyor's ships have emanated from the Navy Office, and, therefore, not the slightest reliance can be placed on them. To every impartial person in the slightest degree acquainted with naval matters, it is apparent that whatever advantage was ga i ne d by the surveyor's ships Queen and Albion was, under the circumstances already pub lished, obtained by reason of their immense spread of canvas and lighter armaments, the Queen having 2,500 square feet of canvas more than the St. Vincent and the Trafalgar, - and the Albion having 3,800 square feet more than each of those two ships, and 2,700 more than the other two-deckers, the Queen also having a less armament and ammunition than the Trafalgar and St. Vincent, and a less complement of men, and the Albion having a less armament and ammunition than the Rodney. The Naval and Military Gazette quotes our accounts of the trials ; and remarks— " The result of the late trials of the ships of the experi mental squadron has, we deem, been very unsatisfactory, inasmuch as that the ships have scarcely ever had :wind enough to make their rates of sailing exceed seven knots off the wind, and five knots by the wind, thus showing that they have not had any bad weather to contend against. Our best hope is that in their next cruise the Gallant Admiral will keep in from 49 to 52 degrees of N. latitude, and fremn 12 to 20 to 25 west longitude, when we undertake to say he will be more likely to find the sort of winds and weathers that are required to test the merits of the squadron under his orders, not only in sailing, but in all those snore essential qualities which, as men-of-war, they will be needed to possess when forming part of our fleets in a future war; we mean by the frequent exercise in every necessary duty, and in all kinds of weather." A correspondent of that journal, the only respectable pro fessional London weekly paper, also says : " Altogether, I consider the reports with regard to their rate of sailing as meagre and pitiful in the extreme. Why, the old San Josef, while carrying the flag off Toulon in her day, used to lash through the water under the three top sails, with the main yard square and helm half a turn alee, nearly as fast as these crack ships go under all sail, with as much wind as splits the maintopsail of one and causes another to miss stays. What chance would this flying squadron have with such ships as the old Sans Pareil, bonegal, Ville de Paris, or even the old Venerable, Vanguard, Kent, or Goliath ? Why, if the old Victory was fitted out, she would run round the whole of them. Can any of your cone spondcnts inform me why such ships as the Galatea and Crescent, two noted fast-sailing frigates, were selected, the one for a coal depot and the o: her for a receptacle for negroes, when either of these ships would have astonished the frigates of the present day, and would have spared the experi mental squadron their courses, and have outsailed them with ease ?" That well known fast-sailing ma i n-of-war, the Donegal, 74, captured from the French, was broken up at Portsmouth by the Navy Office, in defiance of a protest from mep well calculated to judge of her value. She was considered to be worth 25,0001._; but she was broken up at an expense of 1,5001. The Galatea and Crescent, like many other good old ships, were got rid of because their well-known and acknowledged superior qualities were obnoxious to the Navy Office. The Hampshire Telegraph, to the reports of the fleet which appeared last week, adds the following confirmation of them : "We extract the following from a letter from the sqa dron :—The Queen beats the St. Vincent one mile per hour ahead, and one mile in ten to windward. The St. Vincent beets the Vanguard half a mile per hour ahead, and one mile per hour to windward, and the Superb in about the same pro portion. The Albion does little as an improved ship, but sails better than last cruise ; she rolls awfully. It i s an ti c ip a t e d that the surveyor wil not now disown the Queen. The Vanguard and Superb are disgraceful." Another letter says, "The Queen beats all on every point of sailing, Canopus, Albion, Rodney, St. Vincent, Trafalgar, Vanguard, and Superb ; the two latter very bad on all points, and very leewardly. The weather generally fine. Accidents to spars immaterial. Casualties in the crew, ten in the squadron during the cruise. The Admiral has been confined with the gout the last 14 days : he is now able to leave his bed." In calculating the advantages of each vessel on the whole, they are entitled to be placed thus : Queen. St. Vincent. Albion. Trafalgar. Rodney. Superb. Canopus. Vanguard. The Vanguard's position is worthy of especial attention. This was the " crack ship" of the Mediterranean. The Rodney was said to be nothing to her; but now that she and her sister ship, the Superb, are stored as line-of-battle ships ought to be, they are beaten on all points by the Rodney and Canopus, two-deck ships, both of heavier armament, and by the St. Vincent and Trafalgar, three deckers. It is now to be decided how the surveyor's ships will behave in compa rison with the others with a light draught of water. The Admiral is to take them with him to sea for six weeks, with two months' provisions only to give the Queen and sister hood an opportunity of rolling away their spars, and giving their crews an autumnal bathe. _ _ Since the foregoing account of the experimental squadron was in the press, we have been favoured with a statement of the relative merits of the ships, arranged in such a way as to show not only the order of superiority, but also the exact relation, numerically stated, which one ship bears to another. These results have been obtained in a general deduction from the several trials, by an officer on whose judgment and cor rectness we can implicitly rely, and they may be taken as most fairly representing the true state of the case. The number placed against each ship shows in what degree it is superior or inferior to any other. On a Wind. Off the Wind. General Result of all Points of Sailing. DUNDEE TRADE REPORT. Our markets have undergone no change worthy of notice during the last eight days. Flax of all sorts is unaltered either in eemand or prices, put from the inferiority of the most of last year's crop imported here from all quarters, there will, in all likelihood, be ere long a scarcity of fine flax, end which may naturally be expeeted to have the effect of keeping up the value of all such material. Tows and cedillas are in improved demand and advancing in prices, especially such as are possessed of colour and quality. In hemp and hemp coddle, nothing doing. East India jute is again rather easier, and may now be quoted, for ordinary parcels, at frcm 121. to 131. per ton, f u r fine parcels, at from 14/. to Mi. per ton, a n d f or t h e very b est parcels at from ILL to mt. Ws. per ton. Yarns and linen 3 of all kinds are in steady demand, ftt , the annexed quotations,- and it is understood that. at present there are no stocks of either in the hands of our spinners and manufacturers. The ar rivals consist of one vessel from St. Petersburgh, three from Pernan, and one from Memel, all loaded with flax, tows, and codillo. Riga letters of date the 9th ultimo, 0. S., and Memel letters of date the 22d ultimo, N.S., have been received. At Riga the prices of flax had given way, 1 SR. per her k, whereat there have been large transactions and there the remained redeed m r a a n t y es. buy A er t s 3 b ie u m t few s e e r l e le w rs aa o a f n th a e et r i a v w e d m em at a e n ri d al fo a r t fine flax,for the French market, and the dealers weredemanding cl th ere 38/. per ton for 4 brand when taken by itself, and 10s. per ton less for that mark when accompained with the usual proportion of Note Ilene and 3 brand.

The Mother—l de not know, sir, they have refusal Mr. COSIBE—Let the girl be brought into Court. The unfortunate girl was no sooner brought into Court than she darted at her poor mother. The policeman who brought her in was fortunately close enough to her to prevent her dolm ans' mischief. A fearful scene then occurred. She screamed', and exclaimed, in a frantic voice, " What am I brought here for? What charge have you—you (to her mother) to prefer against Ins ? Let me speak. I will and must speak." The MAGISTRATE ordered her removal, but she clung to the dock with so much tenacity, that it required the united exertions of several policemen to remove her. She was sent to the workhouse, with directions for her in. slant admission. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales 'of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 4,000 bags, including 1,500 on speculation. The market is quiet, and prices remain the same.—The Share market is steady, with a good demand for Dovers. Every day's post is looked for by the dealers, not only in foreign grain, but also by railway spcculators, with the greatest anxiety, as respects the condition of the wheat already cut and carried, and the probable yield in the more northern districts of the United Kingdom, where the sickle has notyet been brought into active operation. Although upon the general review of the country advices it is established that the new wheat al ready brought to market is scarcely as weighty as it was in the last year, still the quality is not at all found fault with. It cannot, however, be denied that, as respects prices, should the disease in the potato crops extend to but a twentieth part of the land under culture, it will be in vain to expect any reduction either in the price of bread or of pro visions generally. Speculators in rice have already taken advantage of the rumours which have been circulated, and have raised prices, as, under the circumstances stated, no question this article of import would be taken for consumption very considerably. Within the week ending last night an improvement in the article has occurred of fully 2s. per cwt., and from 10,000 to 11,000 bags have most readily been bought up. Should, however, the quotations of wheat and flour here advance but to a limited extent, before long there will be most ample supplies from Canada and the United States, where the stores are said to be crammed with these articles, awaiting a market in Europe. The effect of the alterations in the tariff has been effectu ally shown in the reduction of the price of pine apples, hitherto a luxury obtainable only on very expensive terms, but which now by the enterprize of parties connected with the trade of the Bahamas, has been made available to a much more extended range of consumers. No less than the enor mous quantity of four hundred thousand pines have been im ported this season, the last public sale of which, consisting of 2,000, took place by Keeling and Hunt, and realized from ls. to 4s. 9d. each for those of good quality; and it is to be hoped the prices obtained generally will be an additional in ducement for a continued annual supply being secured to the public. The private letters received by the West India mail do not contain any information of much interest, beyond what is communicated in the public papers. It is pleasing, however, to find that a warm interest was taken among the more wealthy colonists in the extension of railway com• munication. Although the weather appears to have been exceedingly dry, we do nut find upon careful investigation of the letters we have seen that much injury has been done to the crops. However the holidays taken on the part of the labourers, in celebration of their obtaining freedom, are stated to be likely to prove of injury to the ulti.nate yield of the canes which had arrived at a period when the greatest attention was required. Hopes were entertained, however, that the whole period usually taken for living indolently would this year be much shortened. The extreme fineness of the weather to-day has given a buoyancy to the general markets. The prices of Stock are well maintained. Consols for the Account have reached 98%, and for Money, 98%. At present the quotations are a trifle lower. Exchequer-bills are at 455. premium, and India Stock at 271 270. Only a few bargains were made in the Foreign Funds to day. In Spanish at 38% ; in D u t c h F our p er Cents. at 99 1 / 2 %; in the Equador at 4 1 . The Portuguese Converted have been standing at 63 3 / 4 % for Money, but for the Ac count the value in the morning was 64k. It is now 63%. Mexicans have improved to 34 3 / 4 .

All that we see, hear, or read of the potatoe crop, convinces us that the extent of injury which has befallen it is in no de gree exaggerated, but the contrary, and that there is no pre sent help for it. We see no prospect of stopping the murrain by human agency, and we believe that the best thing to do, under the circumstances, is to let the crops alone, unless means can be found of consuming them immediately, and an that case they should be taken up and dried. Much will be found not worth the digging. In other eases, where a part only of the tubers are attacked, it will be better for the symptoms to become more distinct before what remain are sorted and pitted. If any means exist for consuming those which are just beginning to decay it will be prudent to take advantage of them ; for unless the rot has eaten deep into the tubers they may certainly be given to pigs or other animals, with safety, provided they are boiled or attained, and mixed with a little salt. This has been done within our own knowledge ; and we have ourselves eaten roasted potatoes, in which the canter was only skin deep. Many idle reports are current on this subject, which deserve no attention. It is some consolation to know that those tubers which were sound a week ago remain so, and manifest no signs of being at tacked. We have just examined some samples put in a dry place, and we see that those which were sound at the time of sorting are sound still ; while, on the contrary, those in which the disease had shown itself, but a very little are much worse, and are decaying fast. In the open field, too, the mischief does not seem to spread, and we are persuaded that if we had hot sunny weather, the evil would have gone no further. Unfortunately, however, the gloomy state of she air, and the low temperature, have been imperfectly compensated for by absence of rain. It will never do to pit the potatoes in heaps, covered with straw and earth. If this system is pursued, we anticipate the total decay of such heaps. It is very improbable that, with all possible care, the potatoes will be so sorted that no infected tu bers shall be left in the heaps. One such tuber will communi cate the malady to a ton ; for it will soon form mouldiness on its own surface; the potatoes in contact with it will be infected; they will give it to their neighbours, arid so on. In the process of pit ting, every potatoe must be separated from its neighbour by solid earth. Then, if one tuber decays, it will not be able to spread the mischief, because, being embedded in soil, it will not be in contact with others. Potatoes therefore should be stored in heaps ; a single layer of them should be covered with earth, well worked in between them ; then another layer should be thoroughly imbedded as before, and so on. If straw could be had, we should even be inclined to thatch the heaps, so as to keep them dry ; and at all events, if they are in the open air, we should draw trenches round them so as to carry off all the water. Wet is favourable to decay, and also to the attacks of mould plants ; dryness is an enemy to Loth. The drier, there fore, the potatoes can be kept in their pits the more chance there will be of keeping sound those that are so when laid up. We cannot too strongly impress upon gardeners the extreme importance of this pncaution.— Gardener's Chronicle. A correspondent of the same paper says—" As with the decay of the haulm all further growth is at an end, no good can accrue by leaving them in the ground ; therefore, the sooner dug up the better. By exposure for a day or two to air and solar heat, such of them as are not very extensively affected may be checked from further decay, sufficiently so for seed at any rate, and probably by cutting out the diseased por tions before cooking, and by mashing, they may be wholesome as food. if superabundant moisture has in any way contri buted to this disease, ridging up the rows very highly, so as to leave trenches below the level of the roots would not only keep them dry, but would expose a larger surface for the influence of solar heat and light to ripen the tubers." We are sorry to be compelled, from information we have received from most authentic sources, to class this locality among the numerous districts in which there is an entire or partial failure of this important crop. We yesterday heard of a ease in which twelve bushels had been taken from the ground, only four bushels of which were fit for use. They seem to be attacked by one point of the potatoes becoming damp, which in some cases spreads all round, and in others strikes at once to the centre, leaving a blackness and rotten ness wherever the disease goes. Another singular case we heard of, in which a large quantity were taken up on Saturday morning last, all the roots being apparently sound and good. At evening -time, however, of the same day, they were all very much specked by this disease, and if not used immediately will be utterly worthless for any purpose. We yesterday went into a piece of six acres, and out of a large number dug up from various parts of the field, not one seemed to be thoroughly sound. From this land, which has yielded as much as 160 sacks per acre, scarcely any good potatoes, and those very small, will be procured at all. This seems to be universally the case with the middle, or principal crop of this root, about this locality. We h e ar that th e ear l y crop is, to a great extent, unaffected ; but the late potatoes, which ought now to have green and growing tops, seem t o be a complete failure. The disease attacks the lower part of the stalk, and spreads its way up and down, so that, in fact, the 'lams are killed before the potatoes are formed. The pink-eyed, and in short all other kinds of this root, seems to have shared a similar fate, it has been reported that potatoes so affected are poison ous, and that pigs have died in consequence of eating them—the result of our inquiries does not tend to confirm this idea. Next to the %%heat crop, the potatoe crop is undoubtedly the most important, and we cannot regard so great a failure without serious apprehension lest the prices of other commc dities should be so much enhanced as to press severely on the resources of the humbler classes. The reports from the west counties and from Ireland are tolerably favourable ; but we have heard it stated " that after Christmas there won't be a potat,,e to be Lad." Difficulty seems to be anticipated in getting suitable seed for next year. Respecting general farming ope rations we may just say, that the harvest is proceeding glo riously. This present week will see an end of the wheat har vest in this district, which will be got up in good order. The barley and other crops are proceeding favourably.—lpswich Express, Sept. 9. A quantity of wheat has been housed and stacked in good condition in Somerset,; and the farmers are everywhere getting forward with their barley, which is generally an excellent crop, both as to quantity and quality. Where the disease which ha 3 attacked the potatoes is found to prevail, the best course is to cut away the whole of the haulm, and remove it to the mixen, so that the land may have full exposure to the sun. There is reason in this—the haulm has done its share of nature's pro cess. It is only necessary to perfect the root and ripen its peel, for which purpose the warmth of the sun is all that is re quired. It has been found that where the haulm had been suffered to decay in the ground, the potatoes were invariably diseased ; but where the stalk was not blackened to the bottom, the roots were healthy. Potatoes which are unwhole some, turn black when boiled, so that no ene can fail to dis tinguish them. Yet potatces are not affected alone; acres of pickling cucumbers have gone off in the same manner, frem the same cause, and with the same symptoms.— Somerset Gazette. We regret to find that the disease prevalent in the potatoe crop has affected extensively the fields and gardens in the neighbourhood of Chippenham. In several cases the owners have dug up the produce, and, after sorting out the unsound portion, trusted to a drying in the open air for preserving the remainder ; but it appears very doubtful how far, in so unripe a state, they can be preserved (so as to be eatable) during the Winter.— Hills paper. THE FISHERIES FOIVEY.—The drift boats in this neighbourhood continue to bring in fine pilchards, from five hundred to two or three thousand each. Though several of the seans have shot they have taken nothing.—Several fine salmon have been taken this week by Mr. Lowry's sean, and cold at Bd. per lb. VERYA N.—Several Beans shot in Gerrans bay, on Mon day last, but the catches were very small, about three to four bearing mauns to a scan. The drivers at Portloe have done scarcely anything for tke last few days ; but on Tuesday night one of the Portloe scans shot in Gerrans bay, and took. up about. sixteen hogsheads of fine pilchards. Sr. lyEs.—Several small shoals of playing fill have been seen from the hills during the week, but too far off for the scans. The mackerel boats that have been fishing two or three leagues from the law' report that they have seen large quantities of pilchards passing up the Channel. Loot. .- ' f drift boats are taking from five to ten thousand fine pilchards each every night ; but nothing has been el, ne yet by the sears. The Polperro drift beats have similar catches to the Looe boats. CITARLESTOWN.—The drift boats continue to take some small cotches of fine fish, which have been sold for Is. Bd. per hundred.— West Briton. HERRING FISHING, PERWICK, SEPT. 5.----Sinee OUT lavt our boats have ben at sea every night and have only got a few crans to add to their former bad fishing. This morning they are all clean, and there is now little prospect of any more till the moonlight, when they are going to make another trial ; hut many of the half.dealsmen will have to go a harvesting. The take for this season is only about a third of that of last year and about a fourth of an average year. The boats upon an average have not above forty crans each, and the fishermen are very much cast down. Prices have been during the week from 13s. to I7s. per cran. fishing for the past week has been very light. There were some good shots in the early part . of the week ; but these not at all general. The average ft,r the week has been from two to three crans ; prices 13s. to 17s. per cran. The average up to this date for the season is 119 crans. A good number of our boats have left for the south, in consequence of a report of a good fishing at Craster and Boulmer. NORTH SUNDERLAND.—Our fishing in the latter end of last week was very good, some boats had from twenty to thirty cram. On Monday and Tuesday this week, it was more general, the highest boat had between thirty and forty crans, bu':. on Wednesday and Thursday the fishing had fallen greatly off, the highest boat having only twelve crams. Prices ten to twelve shillings per cram DuNBAR.— The herring fishing at this station is now nearly dosed, after a very successful season. The strange boats are daily returning.—Berwick Adrertiser. THE POTATOE CROP.—The most alarming ac counts are given of the state of the potatoe crops in this neighbour hood, Wisbech. We cannot gather a single account where the dis ease, which appears in other parts of the country to have attacked the crop, has not made its appearance. The stem which a fortnight or three weeks since bore the most promising prospect, is every where withering. The commencement of the attack Is generally dated here from Tuesday, the 19th ult., which it will be remem bered was one of the heaviest rains almost ever known. It first appears with a bluish speck on the potatoe, which rapidly extends through the root. A grave was opened yesterday which had been formed about tie time above-named, and the stench was intolerable, consequently all the potatoes spoiled. It has given a check to the purchasers who were sending such quantities from hence, as we learn that a cargo last week when it arrived in the north was half of it rotten.—Carnbridge Chronicle. CRYSTALLISATION OF SILEX.—IMPORTANT TO THE MANVPACTUREUS :OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.—M.

There being no longer any doubt that her Majesty would visit en passant the King and Queen of the F renc h (for M. Guizot left Paris early yesterday morning for this royal re sidence, to be present:on the occasion), I left Paris at four o'clock, and travelling all night, arrived here at seven o'clock this morning. You wilci suppose, have known from your correspondents in Germany and Belgium that our gracious Sovereign eight or ten days since acceded to the pressing desire of King Louis Philippe that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to "look in " on him on passing down the Channel. Even from a less distinguished monarch such an invitation could hardly be declined. It was accepted, therefore, but, lam told, with some limitations, particula r ly as t o th e length of time to be spent here, which will only extend to Tuesday (this day). The King is resolved to do his utmost to prolong her Ma jesty's stay. A theatrical performance is to take place in the Chateau, and other amusements are projected. We shall see if the understood determination of the Queen to proceed almost direct to Osborne House will be acted upon. From a host so warm and so earnest as the King of the French it might not be easy to escape, but somehow or other it seems to be the prevailing opinion that the visit will be extremely short indeed. At eleven o'clock this forenoon I repaired to Trdport, and observed that two King's steamers in the offing, and two smaller in the basin, were respectively getting up their steam. Gendarmes and other agents from Eu began to arrive, and the troops were held in readiness to line the pier, &c., at a moment's notice. At ;half-past one o'clock precisely the King, Queen, and Royal Family, and the Ministers of Public Instruction and of Foreign Affairs, the Prefect of the Depart ment, the General commanding the district, &c., left the Chateau in five carriages for Treport, to make, as is said, an excursion by sea. ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN AT TREPORT. TREPORT, SErr. 8. So early as four o'clock this morning a distant report of cannon was heard here. Although not yet daybreak, some excitement became instantly obvious in this little town, or dinarily so tranquil. At seven o'clock two steamers were distinguished far off in the east, the most advanced of which immediately commenced firing. She was found to be a French steamer (the Pluton, it is believed), and she was un derstood to fire as well to announce the approach of the Queen of England as to salute. _ - All was bii;tle immediately afterwards. The foot soldiery, the line, the Cuirassiers, the Chasseurs, and all the military who had remained here during the night were placed en ba taille, althcugh it was evident that two hours must elapse ere the Queen could land. _ At eight o'clock the King and Queen of the French, the Princess Adelaide, and indeed all the members of the royal family, arrived in the grand char-a-Laic, followed by eight or ten other carriages filled with their distinguished guests and other high personages. The King was in delight, and looked better than he has done for six months. He raised his hat vigorously in return to the salutations with which he was received. Half an hour afterwards the British steamer, with the royal standard of England displayed, was within a mile of the shore. King Louis Philippe immediately entered a barge, with a few attendants, and proceeded to the Courriersteamer, in which he approached the Victoria aid Albert. From the Courrier his Majesty descended into a boat fully manned, and pulled to the Victoria and Albert. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were distinctly visible on the deck, and imme - diately after King Louis Philippe was seen to ascend. Some little bustle took place, and then the royal party were seen to descend into the barge, in which they were rowed to the shore. _ _ At a quarter past nine o'clock our Queen landed, and was received by her Majesty the Queen of the French, the Prince de Salerno, &c., and warmly embraced each other. Never did her Majesty Queen Victoria appeared in more magnifi cent health. _ Prince Albert looked a little pale, but was evidently in high spirits. A few moments only elapsed when they entered their carriages amid deafening cheers, and the still more deafening thunder of theguns of the battery close by, and of all the ships of war in the offing. One cheer more took place after the first plunge of the linrses, and a line of dust indicated the rapid departure of the cortege for Eu. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT EU. ELT, MONDAY MORNLNG, SI,I'T. 8. At precisely 33 minutes past 9 o'clock the char-a-bane in which were her Majesty Queen Victoria, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the King and Queen of the French, &c., entered the Grand Court of the Chateau of Eu. The Queen looked in admirable health, and most animatedly ac knowledged the cheers of the privi!eged few who were ad mitted within its precincts, and the salute Gf the troops, whose cries of - Fire le Roi were heard above the musical band, which, immediately on her Majesty's appearance, commenced pl a yi ng " God save the Queen. , ' M. Guizot and some other persons of distinction were at the great entrance of the chateau, and were first to hail the Queen's arrival at Eu. - After a moment or two, her Majesty, accompanied by her illustrious hosts, appeared in the balcony over the entrance, and again, with much apparent warmth, expressed her sense of the hearty good will with which all around had cheered her. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen will hold a Privy Council on Saturday next, the 13th instaßt, at Osborne House, Isl.. of Wight. The Council is appointed at one o'clock in the after noon. Sir James Graham left town yesterday morning to pay a visit to Lord Stanley, at Walton. The Right Hon. Baronet returned to town in the afternoon. Dispatches from the Governor of Malta, and also from ;he Governor of Gibraltar, were received yesterday at :he Colonial office. " Mesmerism" h:;s of late attracted somuch of the public attontion, that we do not feel surprised at its having been selected as a fit subject for the novel reader, and in the hands of so experienced a writer of fiction as the author of " Bramblet3e House," as may readily be imagined, it is treated with all the effect that could be given to it. " Love and Mesmerism," for such is the interesting title of this new work, is pronounced in literary circles not only the best of Horace Smith's numerous productions, but one of the most striking and original romances that have been put forth for some time. DEPLORABLE AND FATAL ACCIDENT FROM A POLICE VAN.—An interesting male child, under two years o'd, named Crate, belonging to a confectioner, &c., in Great Peter-street, Westminster, was, at about eleven o'clock this morning, crossing this thoroughfare, not far from its parent's house, at a moment when the police van from Tothill-fields Bridewell, was passing, which knocked the child down, and ran over its neck and face. It was immediately conveyed, in a most excruciating state of suffering—its eyes gushing out, and hanging from their sockets, and its brains frightfully protruding, to the Westminster Ilospital, where every attempt to save its life proved unavailing. BRIGHTON, SEPT. B.—Lady Elizabeth Lowther left here on Saturday by the General Steam Navigation Company's packet Menai, for Dieppe. Great preparations are snaking at Eu for the reception of her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, expected on Tuesday. The whole of the performers from the Opera Comique are to arrive on Monday, to give a series of per formances at the Chateau ; they muster one hundred, including the orchestra. WOOLWICH, SErT. 8 —lhe Lightning steam-ves sel, Mr. Petley, Master-Commander, arrived at three o'clock, P.M, from Antwerp, with two of the royal carriages used by her Ma jesty's suite on the Continent, and they were immediately landed at the West Wharf, adjoining the bail in, to be forwarded to Buck. Ingham Palace. IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CATTLE.--A rather novel feature in our local trade is presented in Use importation of foreign cattle to this port, a cargo of oxen having arrived at Cove yesterday per the Isabaa from Corunna. They will be landed and for sale to-day on Messrs. Seymour's Wharf. We understand they are in good condition, but certainly after the payment of all ex penses, and 11. per head import duty under the new tariff; they are Lot likely to be a very remunerative speculation for the ikiporter, particularly when offered for salv immediately after a lon g sea voyage, --Cork Southern BeportetY Even supposing the Queen, after the.botching she has un dergone (the last to the tune of 4,0000, does better than before, is it not clear proof that the surveyor is obliged to throw overboard some of his crude notions in order to arrive at this modicum of success, thereby acknowledging the former deficiency and failure of a ship which was pronounced to be " a perfect man of war ?" And how can the Albion, and much less the Vanguard and Superb, help the " intui tive" cause, by their performances, taking the accounts given to be correct?—the former having been so often beaten by the Rodney and Canopus, and the latter ships invariably last. With retard to the Rodney and the Albion, there can be no question which is the superior man-of-war. The Rodney lost one trial by an accident, and in point of qualities, weatherly or otherwise, she cannot be considered inferior to the Albion; consequently, her superior height of ports, with as much stowage, gives her the superiority in a vital parti cular. But let the se t wo s hi ps get into a heavy swe ll, and see which will be able t o fi g h t h er guns best? The Trafalgar, by comp ar i son with the Q ueen , d o es not turn out to be the crack ship she was reported to be, her in clination being only one half degree more. Give the con structor of this ship the same latitude as allowed to the sur veyor; let 1 im expend half the sum of 4,0001. on her, and stow her without the interference of the surveyor or his partisans, and we doubt not the Queen will have little to boast of in any wind. That old ship, the Canopus, that 'held so good a position, is 230 tons less than the " crack ship," the Vanguard, and her sister ship the Superb. She stowed the same number of days' provisi ,ns as the other ships, whilst the Vanguard and Superb each took 28 days less. Even according to the name less return she has only 42 tuns of water less than the Van guard, and we happen to know for a fact that the Canopus had 64 tuns of water more than the Vanguard, and a heavier weight of single-shotted broadside.— Herald.

FIRE AT ANDOVER.—On Sunday night last a fire broke out at Andover, in the new street leading to Newbury, which in spite of all the exertions of the inhabitants continued to burn all night, and totally destroyed six houses. So rapid was the progress of the fire, that some of the families escaped in their night clothes, and were glad to save their lives, having no oppor tunity to save an)thing else. The poor sufferers appeared in a miserable plight, as many as twenty of them having neither cloth ing, homes, nor furniture, and no money wherewith to purchase any. Not one of them was insured. Bust Ir.—HORRINGER FAIR, SEPT. 4.—There has not been so small a supply here for seseral past years, but from the attendance of buyers being also rather scarce, coupled with the in ferior condition of the stock g enerally, business ptoceeded b u t slowly, and at prices somewhat lower than those obtained at the late Ipswich lamb fair; prices of lambs varying from ISs. to 225. 6d. ; a few choice things, in extra condition, realising 25,. to 265. ; whilst shearling ewes obtained from 28. to 345. lid., and dock crones, of which there was rather an unusual quantity, averaged about 19s. 6d. each.—lpstaich Express. l'llE FIRST JENUITIC ESTABLISHNIEN T IN THE PRESENT CENTURY.—Very soon after the last war of liberation, and the establshing of the Holy Alliance, Jesuitism was intro duced into Austria ; but so gre at w as the caution resorted to fur not offending their public appreh ensio ns , that this name was changed into that of Redem pt i on i s t s , meaning the ord er of the Redeemer. They obtained from Governmen t the o ldest church in Vienna (that of the Holy Steps) and have continued their sly, yet unrelaxed labours tip to the present time. It is from that spot that they have crept, like venomous parasites, over Germany, France, and Swi!zer. land, creating everywhere unspeakable confusion, and lately de luging the countries thus contaminated with the blood of innocent citizens.—German paper. CARRIAGES FOR LADIES.—The Grand Junction have very judiciously determined that after the 15th of this month a compartment of a first-class carriage will be reserved for ladies travelling alone. We feel confident other Companies will not be tardy in following so good an example.—Railway Chronicle. THE NAVIFs.—On Monday afternoon about 200 of the workmen on the railway marched in procession into the town preceded by a practitioner on the bagpipe and a banner equally unattractive. T h e demonstration," seemed a failure, for, after passing the townhall, the procession broke up and its mem. bars burrowed into thepublic-houses. We were told that the exhibi tion proceeded from a strike for an increase of wages, and that it had been originated by the peaceable communit y presently located n ear Cockburnspath, who having taken into th eir heads to have the wages raised from 14s. and 'Ss. to 20s. per week, separat e d into two parties, one marching south , the oth er north, and fo rc i ng a ll upon the Tuesday, on works oLiw to ed j i o w in sti t a h y em.i'he ceased from work during mornin g, a l arge party of them appeared at the port for the hiring of shearers and behaved in a very rude and disorderly manner ; insisting that the wages should he as. per day. They so interfered between master and servant as entirely to stop all business, some of the former they used very rudely, while they compelled those engaged to return into the town. The consequence was that a day was lost for reaping. The farmers waited upon the magistrates in the course of the day and preferred a complaint, and were promised that means should be taken to check the annoyance if an attempt was made to repeat it. The next morning they did not make their appearance at the port, and the hiring of shearers proceeded uniu terruptedly. A number of navies returned to their work on Wed nesday, and a greater number on Thursday, the remainder during these days were to be seen in a besotted state, loitering about the haunts of their inebriety. —Berwick Advertiser.

LONDON AND BLACKWALL EXTENSION. Yesterday the first general meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held at the London Tavern, Mr. J. N. Daniell, chairman of the Board of Directors, presiding. Mr. KENNEL', the secretary, read the report as follows : "Although the shareholders in this extension line have already, as proprietors in the main line, been made acquainted with the circumstances relating to the arrangement entered into :with the Eastern Counties Railway Company, during the progress of the Bill for the Epping Railway through the Committee of the House of Commons, it may yet be desirable at this, the first meeting of the Company, briefly to recapitulate the terms of that arrangement, which were as follows—viz , "That the object of the Bill should be confined to the line between Stepney and the junction with the Eastern Counties line at Old Ford. That the London and Blackwell Railway Company should not make any application for a line to, or towards, Loughton, Chigwell, or Epping, in next year, unless the Eastern Counties Company declined to make any line for the accom modation of those districts, and that the proposed junction between the two railways being made, the Eastern Counties Company should give all facilities in their power to persons wishing to travel front the stations on their lines to Fen church-street in preference to Shoreditch ; all arrangements for facilitating such traffic being left to the adjustment of Mr. Locke and Mr. Stephenson. Your Directors are satisfied that the arrangement thus concluded cannot fail to be pro ductive of great convenience to the Eastern Counties and North Eastern Railways, and of great additional revenue to the Blackwall Railway. The usual preparations have been made for setting out the line, which will be immediately done by Mr. Locke, and the works will be carried on with the ut most vigour. It is provided by the act of incorporation, that at the first ordinary meeting the Shareholders present, per sonally or by proxy, may either continue in office the Directors appointed by the Act, or any number of them, or may elect a new body of Directors, or Directors to supply the place of those not continued in office, the Directors appointed by the Act being eligible as members of such new body. The following are the names of the Directors appointed by the Act, viz.:— James Nugent Daniell, William Haigh, Joseph Bishop, John Bowring, George Thomas Ellison, William Edmund Ferrets, George Lee, Charles Edward Mangles, John Robertson, and Edward Routh, all of whom are willing to serve as Directors, should it the pleasure of the meeting to re-elect them to that office.'" The CHAIRMAN then said, that lied longer time been given them before convening the first general meeting, A 3 required by the Act, the Directors would have been enabled to give some statement as to the progress of the works. At present every arrangement had been made for carrying out the ex tension, which could be completed, on the assurance of their surveyor, without much extra cost, and without a third set of rails. He would take that opportunity of intimating that the Directors had perfect confidence in the soundness of the proposed South Essex line, and that it would be a valuable adjunct to the Blackwall. 'file re-election of biiectors having been seconded by Mr. :ARVEY, was carried. The Chairman, and Mears. Baker and Ogilvy, were ap pointed auditors. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to Mr. M'Cann, said the receipts of the Blackwell line for the last two months of the last year Ivere greater than the corresponding months of the preceding, and there was consequently no reason why the shares should decrease in value. EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN. On Friday the first general meeting of the proprietors was held at the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, Mr. John Learmonth, Chairman of the Directors, in the chair. There was a very full attendance of shareholders. The report, which was read by Mr. LEES, the Secretary, commenced by describing the opposition the Directors had encountered in obtaining their Act, after which it briefly explained the terms into which the Directors had entered with the opposing parties. The first was with the promoters of the Queensferry Company. In considerationof the opposi tion being withdrawn, it was agreed that this company should not oppose the Queensferry Company's application to Parlia ment for powers to make their main line. And' it was fur ther agreed that the latter company should be bound to con struct the branch from Dunfermline through the Lochgelly coal-field to join this Company's line. The Queensferry Company, on the other hand, were bound to abandon their proposed branches to Kirkaldy and Burntisland. The other agreements were with Captain Erskine Wemyss, Lord Rosslyn, and the heritors of the parish of Dysart ; the trustees of the turnpike-roads in the Cupar district ; the trustees of the turnpike-roads in the Kirkaldy district, and the trustees of the road betwixt Queensferry and Perth, called the Great North Road. The remaining agreement is that entered into with his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, and John Gladstone, Esq., the proprietors of the Granton and Burntisland-ferry, by which they bound themselves, first, to provide increased accommodation in the number, power, and speed of the boats to be placed upon the ferry; and, second, to redece the passenger fares to a moderate rate, and to submit, when required, to the determination of arbiters the rates to be charged for every description of goods crossing the ferry. Considerable progress had been made in the purchase of the land required, extending to about eighteen miles of the line. The engineer is using every exertion to complete the working plans, and the first contract is advertised to be let on the 24th of September. Every exertion will be made to press forward the work ; and the Directors see no reason why the line should not be opened within two years from this time. In the Act to be applied for next session of Parliament, for the branch lines to the ferry opposite Dundee, and to St. Andrews and Dunfermline, it is intended to include in it a branch from the main line to the town of Leven, and along the coast to the eastward. The Shareholders may be already aware that measures have within the last few weeks been taken by gentlemen unconnected with the main line to get up a separate company for making this branch ; but it has appeared to the Directors that the interests of the Company require that it be entirely in their own hands, as it forms a portion of the railway system of Fifeshire. - •The CHAIRMAN, after adverting to the topics contained in the report, said the amount of deposits received had been 32,50(1, which had been raised to 33,000/. by the premium on the unappropriated stock. The outlay amounted to 17,50(1, which, considering the strong opposition they bad encountered, was not a large sum. The report, on the motion of Mr. BLAcirAnnEn, agreed to. It was proposed and agreed to, on the motion of Captain RAMSAY, R.N., and seconded by Provost Nicol., of Cupar, that the Directmrs be confirmed in their office. The Earl of LEVEN proposed, and Mr. FultmE seconded the appointment of auditors, and thanks were given to Mr. Grainger, the engineer; Sir Charles Gordon and Co., law agents; and Mr. Lees, the secretary, for their services. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. A public meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood o f Stockbridge, was held on Friday, to take into consideration the Manchester and Southampton Railway, which will pass through Stockbridge. The meeting was numerously and respectably attended. A deputation of the promoters was also present, consisting of R. Etwall, Esq., M.P., T. Griffith, Esq., Mayor of Southampton, C. Long, Esq., solicitor, IL Footner, Esq., E. Coxwell, Esq., J. Lankester, Esq., and others , fr o m Southampton. George Powell, Esq., steward of the manor, in the chair. Mr. LANKESTER explained the route of the proposed from railway, and said, that no tolaa•nte3ineaGrsraesatßritamhad made such a rapid advance o f Southampton. Its population had in creased 8,000 in 1811, to its export trade from 770,0001. in 000/. in 1844, and to 3,000,0001. in the eightfi nlS r e s 4a t r3l:Yo t4o 1 50 h ooonis and of 1845. This rapid increase was to be attributed to railway communication ; and he be lieved the trade of Southampton was only yet in its infancy. It was within his memory that Stockbridge was once a more thriving phlce than it was at present ; and he was at liberty to state that there were parties at Wiichester w ho contemplated making use of the water p.;wer of the Test, should this railway be carried.— (Cheers.) Amongst the advantages to be derived from the formation of railways in this neighbourhood, he could mention the expenditure in its construction, the future constant outlay in its maintenance, the employ ment of a great number of persons upon the line, and the large contribution by the railway to the poor-rates of the parishes through which it would pass.—(Hear.) Another advantage was the increase caused in the rateable value of property in the neighbourhood of rail way stations. In all the places upon the line of the proposed railway, where meetings had yet been held, the project had been almost unanimously approved of, and the landed gentlemen along the line had, in nearly every instance, given it their cordial support. R. ETWALL, Esq., M.P., said it was now a question of doubt as to whether a railway would be formed from Manchester to Southampton ; but it was for them to consider whether it would not be advareageous to Stock bridge that the line should be carried which it was pro posed should pars through their town.—(Hear.) When first railways were projected, the landed interest and the tenant fa: niors feared that the market for oats would be destroyed, - by hor.es being thrown out of employ=ente but the result had proved the groundlessness of atom fears, and more just views now prevailed. He believed they would all agree that a railway from S outhampton tlpt their town would be advantageous to them, and thf:7 3 N I - '5B. - 4%1 - 1738GJ A - s 469 6 - I 4% IsG!
