Matriculated Member of the University of /Min burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un .ertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread -so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'MEET has taken the highest medical honours, As his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference athipet solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Brown, which strived on the sth instant at Portsmouth, from the Cape of Good Hope station, left Simou's Bay on the sth of May last; on the 6th she experienced a strong gale off the Cape, when, unfottunatay, James Donohoe, able seamen, who bad served in her from the date of her commission, was washed overboard from the jibboom. This is only the second death that has occurred during her servitude of nearly four years, having at all times been particularly lu-filthy, which is attributed to the extreme cleanliness of the vessel. Commodore Wyvill, in the Castor, left on the 22(1 of February to visit the stat . on, and was not expected at Simon's Bay until September next, having received on board a large quantity of stores and provisions for the ships cruising in the Mozambique. The Orestes had been rather sickly at Mauritius, at which place she is stationed, and had proceeded to Seychelles for the benefit of the ship's company's health, at which time a most severe hurricane was experienced. The Pantaloon had been most successful in the Mo zambique, at which place the slave trade had revived with all its horrors. She had captured three vessels, mostly good prizes, one very valuable, the American flag being still used to cover these flagrant and diabolical acts of slavery; and until the British Government are enabled to prevail on that Government (whose :flag is so vilely abused by Portuguese, Spaniards, &c.) to employ their cruisers on that part of the African coast, it will be almost an impossibility fur British cruisers to prevent its use. The Hermes and Dart had not arrived, but were daily expected when she left. She brought passengers and invalids; Captain Somerville, 6iti Regiment; Mr. Turpin, second master of Seringapatam (invalided); Mrs. Filmer and child, widow of the late Mr. Filmer, master commanding the Dee, and an immense tortoise, said to be 150 years old, from H. D. Shea, Eiq., surgeon of the Royal Naval Hospital, being, from his extreme age and size, considered most rare, none of the same dimensions and weight having before been taken to England. It has been presented to her Majesty by that officer. She steamed only three days and a half on her pas• gaze to Ascension, it which place she arrived on - the 21st, passing St. Helena on the 16 th , making the passage in the short period (for a steamer under sail) of fifteen days and a half, at which anchorage she found the Centaur, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Fan shawe, C. 8.; Tortoise, guard-ship; and Jackal!: tender to Gladiator, having her r i g altered, increased masts, &c. On the 22d she left, after completine water, re ceiving on board ten tons of coals, and Mr. Dathan, second master of Firefly, with a prize crew of that vessel, officers, other supernumeraries, and invalids. The coast was considered to be very healthy, and the slave trade brisk. The next ship for England was the Star, and the Centaur was waiting for the arrival of the Bonetta with tubes for her boilers from Sierra Leone; after performing that service she would also proceed to England. Turtle and water were very plentiful on the island, and vegetation increasing abundantly, as Also rabbits and guinea fowls, and they are now enabled to supply all vessels with vegetables, which is greatly appreciated by the cruisers after a lengthened trip on the coast. The residents a re extremely health y , and urhappyanituyndaerndsukchindannesosfficiderl as who C visitsptin Hutton, whose Ascension ex perience, and it gives us great pleasure in stating that it is fully appreciated in such a lonely . and monotonous place. On the 29 sh, in let. 4 deg.. 8 min : north, long. 19 deg. 24 min. west, spoke th e English ship Candahar, of London, with emigrants for South ‘tistralia, all well, 38 days from Plymouth; on the 31st, in lat. 8 dcg. 34 min. north, long. 21 deg. 17 min. west. spoke the barque Stately, of Sunderland, for Valparaiso, all well, 35 days from Hartlepool. The Geyser made the passage from Ascension in 44 days under sail, excepting seven days and a half under steam, which she was only e nabled to perform on the lowest camb of expansion from the very detective state of the tubes of her boilers, most of them being completely worn out and unserviceable. This ship was commissioned in October, 1846, and was employed in the conveyance of meal on the coasts of Ireland and Scotland for many months during a severe winter. During the performanee of this duty her ser vices were highly appreciated. She then proceeded to join Sir William •Parker's squadron at Lisbon during the iosurrootioa is Portugal; thence to blockigle St. S N 9 JULY 9, 1850. Übes, and protect the not•thern part of that coast; and afterwards, under the orders of Captain Henderson, of the Sidon, in company with the Amazon, and a French brig of war, visited the Azores, or Western Islands , to quell the insurgents at these p laces, which service was performed at two of these islands by her commander most satisfactorily; she then conveyed the dispatches to Portsmouth, and refitted for the Cape station; imme eliat,-ly on her arrival at Simon's Bay she was employed in the transportation of troops from the frontier, which was executed in a most expeditious manner. She also visited Mauritius and other parts of the Cape station, more particularly the western coast of Madagas car, in order to obtain soppliea for the island of Mauritius, from the negotiations entered into by Admiral Dacres not meeting the views of the tyrant Queen, Ranavalona Manjaker of Tannanarivo, in the performance of which duty Commander Brown was most successful, having obtained supplies from that part of the coast, as also entered into friendly relations with the kings and chiefs by treaties with the British Government, for the entire suppression of the slave trade within their dominions, an event which bad been anticipated and hoped for a lengthened ptriod,. but most fully, energetically, and successfully craned out by this officer, ;hereby destroy ing all power and influence of the Portuguese and other slava agents on that part of the coast. The result ha s been a .complete eradication of "slave. agents," "and the export of slaves." But feat' changes have taken place among the officers or ship's company since leaving England.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUll'._ Six,—According to the "babbling dame, Tradition," Euclid, some twenty centuries ago, was disgraced "for teaching his scholars a mathematical figure in his school, whereby he showed that all men's lives tended to one centre—handsomely to get money out of other men's pockets, and' into their own." Times have won del fully altered since then ; what the learned of those days thought disgraceful, we fast youths of the nineteenth century consider quite "the thing," the acme of all learning, the grand desideratum, and for the most part the great end or object of every individual's existence, at least in this shopkeeping empire. Bet the great desire to relieve your fellow men of their superfluous " extract ef California," as a facetious member of that half-and-half imbibing tribe, denominated " medical students" (students they're termed par excellence, for what is dubious; when I formed a portion of the medical brigade, four- fifths of cur studies were devoted to the ballet, the concoction of punches. the merits of various specimens of " the weed," the Coal Hole, Cyder Cellars, and other interesting things and places), termed the auriferous " circulating medium," has led more than once lately to the obtaining it in any but a handsome way in the sporting world; I need only point to Ascot, Newcastle, and-one or two smaller meetings, as well as at the forthcoming Liverpool, as furnishing instances closely approaching swindling, . but as it is a ticklish subject I will proceed no further in it; these hints will, probably, hit in the right quarters. * 4 But what's this to the purpose? you will say, Gentle reader; nothing; a mere speculation, For which my sole excuse is—'tis my way, Sometimes wills, and sometimes without occasion, I write what's uppermost, without delay." The Liverpool re-union will in all probability not be above the average, either. n attendance or sport, but will be a little more attractive than the late July meet ing at Newmarket, over which the lamented death of the greatest politician of the present age, Sir Robert Peel, passed like a blight. The Croxteth Stakes, for which Colliegwood is en tered, opens the game to-morrow; then follows the Bickerstaffe, o'er which a spell of witchcraft will be thrown; then, without there should be an emeute in favour of Lord Eglinton for the Two years old Produce, the harpsichord may play sweet mu sic to the jingling of eight or nine hundred soya., by way of accompaniment ; after which, should his Grace of Richmond think it worth his while for 75 soya., he will be very officious in the result of the Sefton Stakes. Understanding that The Knight of Avenel will not go for the Three years old produce, in his absence, without hesitation I award the stake to The Italian, of course Sir J. Hawley with Cranberry or Tingle will be second. The Venus filly will probably win the Mersey in the absence of Hippolytus and Storm; and The Knight of the Garter or Pirouette the 10 Soya. Stakes, although the Irisher's admire Clasher, and Barnrick, who might per chance do the business, but the Knight, say I, for choice. On Thursday, a small field of from seven to ten will be found at the post for the Liverpool Cup, to be selected from the following:— at. lb Vampyre, 6 yrs 8 5 Wild Rose, 4 yrs ... 6 6 d Dough, 5 yrs d Backbiter, 5 yrs 7 9 Juggler, 4 yrs d Uriel, 4 )rs d St. Rosalie, 4 yrs 6 124 Seignor of Holder- Maid of Team Val- I nest, 3 yrs 5 0 ley, 4 yrs Keleahea, 6 yrs 6lO 3 yrs Cockermouth, 5 yrs 6 13 Sprite filly, 3 yrs 4 10 Those marked with the letter d are doubtful starters. In Nos. XII. and XIII. of these Notes, I gave it as my opinion that Cockermouth or. Wild Rose would win the Liverpool Cup, and that the Maid of Team Valley, Backbiter, and Windischgratz would form the lot imme diately in the rear of the winner; throw Backbiter out, and induct Vampyre in his place, and I am of the same opinion still. The remaining races on Thursday and Friday I will dispose of in a few words. Woolwich, Uriel, Muffatee, and California are fancied for the Derby Handicap; Fleur de Seine, for the Free Handicap; and Probity and French Susy for the Grand Stand Stakes; on none of these stakes have I any opinion whatever. Pirouette, with Queen Bee in attendance, will win the Aintree Handicap; the Bee Hunter (if he runs) the Knowsley Dinner Stakes; and The Italian, the Liver pool St. Leger. Chatterb ox is comin g to have a shy at one of the last,two-mentioned races, and in the absence of Bee Hunter or The Italian would most certainly win. A Bolton correspondent, who signs himself " A Sub scriber for the last three years" to The Sun, an d who complains of the appearance of these notes being too close upon the decision of the race for speculators " resident in smal l towns to obtain the °ad s ," will find by reference that I am the only one of the quintette of prophets who ever give my opinion on any race whatever more than a few days (generally a couple) before the race is run. I occa sionally, on principal races, such as the Derby, the leading handicaps , &c ., dip, from a week to a year, and even more than that, into futurity ; but as regards all small races, I never publish my opinion until the day or so before that on which the race is to come off. I will, however, attempt to meet the views of my correspondent, especially as I am aware that The Sun is considered the only evening representative of the sporting world. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. July 9, 1850. st. lb, GAS Ex.rLosiox.—On Sunday night about nine o'clock, the inhabitants of Word were alarmed by a loud report, which appeared to come from the neighbourhood of the prison on the London-road, at a short distance from Ilford, and not far from the station-house of the N division. Several persons ran to the spot, with some of the constables, when they were astonished at seeing a toll-house, which consisted of two rooms adjoining each other, by the road side, a complete wreck. The inmates, who at the time con sisted of three men, a woman, and a child, were groaning piteously. They were attended instantly by the surgeons of the town. As they were ascertained to have received most serious injuries, they were placed in covered vans and re moved to the London Hospital. The occurrence took place under the following circumstances :—A strong smell of gas had been observed for some time. One of the inmates lighted a candle, and was going into the back room, when an immediate explosion was the consequence. The infant, which was in its mother's lap, was torn from her and carried through the window, and the premises were instantaneously shattered to pieces. The two men, Morris and Sarner, are in a dangerous state, and there are but faint hopes of the re covery of the woman. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the North American Colonies.

' Leg balls Total HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The concert given last night in the music-room of this establishment, under the name of Madame Pasta's " farewell concert," may be regarded almost as a private. Affair. The announcements had been so sparing, and so chary of particulars, that the public knew very little about the event in advance, and the result was a select audience, composed of some who recollected Madame• Pasta -when she- was the greatest ornament of the lyric drama, and others of our own time, eager to catch'the lest echoes of a voice which bad once filled all Europe with its praises. The first were sure 'to be pleased, since memory brought back to them the pleasures of days gone by, while the last, in deterence to the opinions of their imme diate predecessors, listened with respect, applauded the remains of past greatness, and imagined the rest. Such was literally the effect of last night's perform ance. An audience more enthusiastic and more de termined to be amused was never congregated within the walls of a concert-room. The applause • that greeted Madame Pasta's appearance on the platform was deafening; it continued at intervals during the whole of the famous recitative and air from Tancredi, " Oh Patric," which those who frequented the Italian Opera more than twenty years ago will remember as one of her grandest efforts, and was redoubled with energy at the conclusion. Similar demonstrations attended Madame Pasta's subsequent performances , — the duet, " Mille sospiri e lagrime" (Rossini), with her gifted and favourite pupil, Mademoiselle Parodi ; the aria of Gluck, "Che faro senza Euridice ;" and the brilliant air of Pacini,_ " I tuoi frequenti palpiti" —the only difference to be noted being their con tinually increasing vehemence. After every effort Madame Pasta was recalled upon the platform, amidst cheers and acclamations, and a repetition of the caballetta of Pacini's aria was insisted upon, and, after some little hesitation, accorded. Having stated the manner in which Madame Pasta was feted by the audience, we have, perhaps, done as much as should be expected of us under the circumstances. Lest, however, a criticism may be looked for by those who are anxious for minnte details, we shall, in as few words as possible, describe those points in the vocalization of the renowned artist which recalled the glory of her prime. Her most perfect effort was the aria of Gluck, " Che faro senza Euridice," which was also the most classical and beautiful morgeau in the programme. In this fine specimen of one of the greatest of dramatic composers, half of the audience were enabled to welcome with a new delight what the other half were made acquainted with for the first time—a manner of phrasing and a gran deur of expression which belongs to a style of singing now, unhappily, almost extinct. A method of respiration which allowed of the longest sentences being uttered without any perceptible break was also remarked with admiration, while a classical severity of taste in the choice and use of ornaments offered a not less striking example for the consideration of the present school of singers. These high qualities, which being purely mental, defy the encroachments of time, are still observable in Madame Pasta's singing. Madame Pasta was assisted by Mademoiselle Parodi, Signori Gardoni, Calzolari, Beaucarde, Culletti, Lablache, F. Lablache, and Bel letti, by the chorus of her Majesty's Theatre, and by Mr. Balfe and Signor Schirza, who presided as,accom panist at the pianoforte. FRENCH PLAYS -ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Mademoiselle Rachel appeared last evening in the character of Adrienne Lecouvreur in the drama of that name, written expressly for her by M. Scribe, and by her personation of which she attracted crowds to the Theatre Francais during the whole of last winter. To the English play-goer this drama is well known by the admirable version of it from the pen of Mr. John Oxentord, which was produced some months since at the Strand, under the title of the Reigning Favourite, and in which Mrs. Stirling per sonated the heroine. Adrienne Lecouvreur was one of the most celebrated actresses of her day ; her beauty and her goodness of heart were equal to her talents, and at the commencement of the reign of Louis XV., she was " the observed of all observers." The foyer of the Theatre Francais was nightly crowded with her adorers, and Abbes, Dukes, and Princes, were throwing themselves at her feet; among her many adorers, however, there were two who deserve pre-eminent mention ; one of them is Michonnet, the old prompter, who watches over as a guardian angel ; the other is a gay and gal lant young officer, whom Adrienne loves to distraction ; this officer she discovers to be no less a personage than Maurice, Comte de Saxe, and at the same time that she makes this discovery she also discovers that she has a rival in his affections, a grande dame who is at that moment concealed in an inner apartment, and whose reputation depends on her escaping unseen. The generous Adrienne un dertakes to aid the escape of her rival, and succeeds. That rival, however, is mad with jealousy, and determines to ruin Maurice, for his infidelity to her ; she causes him to be arrested for an enormous debt, which is paid off by Adrienne, and he is released without knowing who is his benefac tress. Adrienne is engaged to give recitations at a grand party at the Prince de Bouillon's. In the voice of the Princess, his wife, she recognises the voice of the grande dame, in whose escape from the house of Maurice she had aided ; in the voice of Adrienne Lecouvreur the Prin cess recognises that of her rival. A msgni ficent scene ensues, in which the ladies talk at each other in the most withering style of sarcasm, which ends by Adrienne producing a bracelet dropped by the grande dame, which the Prince de Bouillon at once recognises as the bracelet of his wife, without in the least suspecting how it came into Adrienne's possession. The party arrange themselves for the re citations, and Maurice is seated; by the aide of the Princess ; goaded by her jealousy and her hatred, Adrienne commences the recitation of certain pas sages from Phedre, which are applicable to the Prin cess, and which she addresses to her in the most pointed manner. The acting of Rachel throughout this scene—the great scene or the play—was the very perfection of biting irony and polished sarcasm ; never once did she forget her position as the actress, but never did woman utter tones so bitter in manner so polite. The Princess, irritated beyond& the powers of endurance, presents her rival with a poisoned bouquet, and the last act is one long death agony, in which the different phases of death by poison were delineated by Mademoiselle Rachel with a power and a minuteness so fear fully true to nature, that at the conclusion of her agony, when she falls back dead, a lady in one of the boxes, overcome by her feelings, uttered a piercing shriek, the highest compliment that could be paid to the truthfulness of the artiste. Made moiselle Rachel was called on at the conclusion of the fourth and fifth acts, and the applause throughout was enthusiastic. The house was crowded to suffocation. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The season here terminated last night with the benefit of Mr. Webster, who delivered the following address : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—ln accordance with cus tom, I b eg on this, the closing night of our mimic sea son, teeming with acts and studied speeches, to offer you my grateful acknowledgments for - your continued pa tronage of this our house of representation. The sud den serious Dint sa of Mr. hlacready, which was a mis fortune beyond human - ken, unless gifted with second .ight, o r , as i t i s fash i ona bl y terme d , t h e f acu lty of clairvoyance, combined with the too numerous and over puffed•up toreign amusements, which, in one particular instance, reminds one strongly of the frog who essayed to outsize the bull, have plueed onr last quarter's re • venue not quite on a parallel with that cheering account of the public revenue, imposing new duties upon me and a fresh tax upon your kindness. " I am , however, delighted—as every lov e r of the drama ronet be—to inform you that Mr. Macready is in better health now than I have at en him for years, and the rest from care and fatigue he so much needed will enable him to appear before you for hie final performances on ay stage in October next with renewed vigcur both o f "- ind and body. Some new and useful histronic talent will be pee sented to you during the ensuing season, and also some new and original dramas, which will not disgrace, _trust, that standing the dramatic literaThre of this country has universally attained, and which, as kr as my humble effotti have permitted, it has ever been my pride to support, " In justice to the popular author of Whitlfriari, Owen Tudor, and many other works of fiction, I teel it in cumbent on me to state that the Lord Chamberlain's interdiction on the comedy of Richelieu in Love having been removed, it would have been produced this season had not the serious indisposition of Mr. James Wallack and Mrs. W. Clifford rendered it impossible, bat it will certainly ba one of the first novelties when we re-open. Assuring you, ladies and gentlemen, that every effort shall be exerted during the recess to make this still the legitimate theatre in London, I respectfully, and in the name of the entire company, wish you, until our next merry meeting in September, all health and hap- piness." CREMORNE GARDENS. The Scotch fete yesterday at these gardens drew a large assemblage of the British public, that portion from the ." Land o' Cakes" predominating. Corporal Sutton, Ist Life , Guards, the winner of the prize for broad-sword exercise at Holland Park, opened the sports of the day in conjunction with Corporal Waite, 2d Life Guards, with a most scienti fic display of fencing with foils, M. Gillemand keep ing time. This 'bout elicited deserved applause. Next came Corporal Jackson, Ist Life Guards, the winner of the second prize, exhibiting tite most accomplished dexterity with the broad sword. Corporal Waite and the celebrated, M. Prevost next presented themselves on the stage. Tbis was a most interesting combat with foils. The several combatants resumed their contentions as if their former differences had not been assuaged, until the lengthy programme of the battles had been completely fought, but as the conflict had equal merit we need not particularise. The great wind-up, however, between Gillemand and Prevost deserves especial cont. mendation. Prevost is open to fence any man Pi world, but he found the veteran Gillemand a most ac complished antagonist. In the Saladin feats was in troduced the cutting of a leg of mutton with a naval cutlass—if our own taste were consulted we•should prefer cutting 'one with a ' tableknife. Every gentleman should know how to carve, remarked a second Chesterfield ; for a - !Olson in the art we recommend Corporal Sutton, Ist Life 6uards.. The leg of mutton is suspended; with one swing of the arm the dexterous corporal cut.it in two. The same achievement, with equal adroitness, he performed on a bar of lead. Cutting the scarf was so delicate and magical a performance that the audience imagined the corporal had failed in his object. The scarf fell as if uninjured, the corporal picked it up in two pieces at the point of his scimitar. Sergeant Chalmers, of the Fusiliers, then appeared, armed with fixed bayonet, as antagonist to Gillemand, armed with the sabre. Although the bayonet is considered the superior weapon, the sabre in the hand of the experienced Gillemand evidently had the ad vantage. The late lamented Bushman, who was considered the most competent judge of the age, always expressed himself in favour of 'the bayonet ; and it is no small compliment to the skill of Gille mand to say on this occasion he refuted so great an opinion. The Scotch pastimes were not confined to the grounds, but were introduced on the stage. Mr. Charles Cooper, the celebrated Scotch vocalist, sang " Johnnie Cope" and " Allister M'Allister," with great applause. When it is remembered that all these national sports are in addition to the usual en tertainments of the establishment, and that the usual charge for admission is not increased, too much praise cannot be given to the liberality and enter prise of the management. The file is to be repeated to-day. NATIONAL SUBSCRIPTION FUND, FOR THE WORKING MAN'S MONUMENT TO THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., M.P. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Committee-rooms, Belvidere Hotel, Pentonville, London, July 9, 1850. beg to inform the public through you, that at a special meeting of the Committee, held yesterday evening, at the above rooms, at which Mr. Hume at tended, Mr. Coppock proposed, and it was unanimously resolved, that the title of the testimonial be changed from the " Poor Man's" to the "Working Man's" Monument to the late Sir Robert Peel, and that the subscriptions be from one penny upwards, and not limited to any amount. Lists for small subscriptions will still be furnished to any respectable persons applying for them, and books for the purpose of larger subscriptions will be opened at every banker's in London and throughout the United Kingdom, for the " Working Man's Testimonial." Heads of establishments, tradesmen, hotel-keepers, and other respectable persons, in every part of the king dom, aro desired to open subscription books; but it is particularly requested that they write to me as above, notifying that they have done so. A public meeting will be held on Friday evening next in the grounds of the Belvidere Hotel, at six o'clock precisely, at which Mr. Hume will take the chair, and Mr. Cobden and several other public and influential gentlemen have promised to attend. Yours faithfully, JOHN DOWNES, Hon. Sec. We regret to have to record the demise of the Right Iron. James Butler, thirteenth Baron of Dunbovne which took place on Saturday last, at the chateau o f Esh: inghen, Pas de Calais. This ancient peerage (the last, we believe, of the old titles which were restored), having been forfeited by attainder in the reign of Charles 1., was created by Henry VIII. in the year 1541 by patent to the heirs male of Sir Edmund Butler, lint., who was lineally de scended from the third son of the ancestor of the Earls, Dukes, and Marquises of Ormonde, and continued in the direct male line till the death of John, commonly called the twelfth Baron, on whose decease James, the thirteenth and late Peer, descended from the younger son of the second Ba ron, became heir male, and petitioned George IV. for leave to prove his right to the barony ; and his Majesty having directed his attorney and solicitor-general to investigate the pedigree, and the law officers having reported to his Majesty that the claimant's right had been fully and satisfactorily proved before them, his Majesty was thereupon graciously pleased, by warrant under his royal sign manual, dated at Windsor, 26th October, 1827, to order his attorney-general that the attainers against this barony should be -imme diately reversed; which was accordingly done in the Court of Queen's Bench in Dublin, in Michaelmas term the same year; and that his Lordship's name should be placed on the roll of Peers of Ireland. His Lordship was born on the 25th of July, 1780, and was twice married. By his first wife, a cousin of the late Earl of Chre, he has left a numerous family, the eldest of whom, the Hon. Theobald Fitz Walter Butler, succeeds him in his title and estates, as fourteenth Baron of Dunboyne. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS—Yester day evening a grand fete took place in these gardens in aid of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum, Kent-road. Little need be said in praise of this excellent institution - the appearance of the children was the greatest compliment that could be paid o the patrons by whom they are so liberally educated and maintained. One remark we cannot help making—the manner in which they are clothed does not stamp on them the character of charity children, they can mingle in society when away from the establishment as neatly-dressed chil dren. The fete was all that could be wished ; the weather was fine, the gardens were crowded, their various and unri valled attraction delighted every one—the music, conducted by Jullien. was worthy the" Grand Maestro." Tbeflreworks were superb, and the eatire arrangements gave satistaction to all. The fete will be repeated to-day, and we heartily wish success to the institution. CAPTURE OF THE CONVICT GRIFFITHS.-Intelli- genes was received at Woolwich on Saturday last that the convict John Griffiths, who had escaped a few days pre viously from the dockyard, had been apprehended, and was in custody at Chatham. It appears the high constable there bad received information of a burglary being committed at Brompton on the night of Friday, or early on Saturday morning, and observing two well known characters in the abstracting line in company with a stranger, he had all three taken into custody and searched, and by that meaaa ascertained that Griffiths was an escaped convict from the marks on his stockings. Griffiths remains in custody, and will be tried for robbery and assault, the waistcoat of one of the mowers, with whom he had a conflict on the farm of Claypits, in the parish of Lee, being found upon him when apprehended. _ _ _ - - TER POST-OFFICE CBANGE.—Loud and numerous are the complaints of the people at the great inconvenience occasioned by the recent alterations in the Post-office. A gentleman living in Tomes desires our correspondent to mention the following circumstance, which painfully illus trates the hardship of the non-delivery of letters on the Sun day. A person of Devonport was on Saturday declared by the surgeon to be at the point of deatb, and when informed of his danger, he manifested the most intense desire to see the person who gave our correspondent this information. A letter was posted at Devonport in time for the mail of that evening, but instead of being addressed to the gentleman, it was put under cover and dir, cted to the post-master, stating the emergency of the case, aid he kindly sent it to him the same evening ; but for this it would have lain in toe (Ace until Monday morning, and the dying man would have had his last moments embittered by this hum bug, which savours so strongly of the compulsive observance of the Sabbath, propounded by the late Sir Andrew Agnew. The sick man was rather of a large tinnily, and bad probably arrangements to make, before he closed his eyes for ever, of vital importance to the welfare of his little ones. It is scarcely possible to overestimate the agonising suspense with which he awaited the arrival of his relative, and, for all the originators of this precious scheme care for persons so si tuated, he would have gone to that bourne from whence Jo traveller returns" without having his wish gratified, and fatherless family might have been materially irjured through the circumstance.— Western Times. the delivery APPLERY.
