The necessity of some provision for guarding the moneys, papers, and other personal effects of parties dying intestate, and having no relative in the colony interested in their preservation and good keeping— until some heir or creditor of the deceased should have hid time to obtain an order from the court for the judicial administration of the - property —was, owing to several occurrences, occupying considerable attention in the public mind. BARBADOES. The Bill fc,r establishi❑g an inland post has passed the House of Assembly. The salary of the postmaster is fixed at 3001. per annum. _ . The Barbadian says that the sugar crop for the present year in this colony will exceed 40,000 hhds. That is of the sugar made ; whilst the consumption in the island is estimated at less than 3,000 hhds. The weather in Barbadoes i 3 represented as " all that the planters could wish." BERMUDA. The Bermudian pubiishes a number of paragraphs which show that Bermuda is " coming out strong " as a potato-prcducing country, and that she is now actively competing with native growers in the New York market, one of the cheapest and most extensive vegetable markets in the world, in the articles of po tatoes, onions, and tomatoes. This is certainly a new turn to West India industry. One of the paragraphs mentions the superior quality of the potato, as well as the abundant return from seed planted. A small por tion of the crop has reached other colonies (Trinidad, for example), and the improvement in the quality of the article, which was formerly good, but rather waxy, has been the subject of general remark. We sin cerely trust this potato-growing enterprise may be successful ; and though we doubt the possibility of the Bermudians finding a sufficiently remunerative market in the sea board cities of the United States, where prices at times rule very low, they may cer tainly count upon all the West India colonies as cus tomers, at rates which will insure them a very consi derable annual revenue from this edible. There are several instances of planters reaping fifteen to seven teen bushels from one bushel of seed, and ten bushels from one of seed may be mentioned as a com mon occurrence. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, W EDNESDAY. His Royal Highness Prince Albert left Osborne at eight o'clock yesterday morning, attended by Dent.- Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon, and embarked on board the Royal yacht Fairy for Gosport, wh,re a weird train aas in readiness to convey his Royal Highness to London. His Boyal Highness proceeded immediately to the Great Exhibition Building in Hyde-park, and presided at a meeting of the Royal Commission, which was as sembled there. The Prince returned by special train to Southampton at a quarter past Fix o'clock. Her Majesty, their Royal Highnessees the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, Pried-ss Helena and Princess Louisa, accompanied by the Earl of Liverpool, Sir Ha milton and Lady Seymour, and attended by the usual suite, embarked at five P.M., in the Fairy, at Osborne pier, and proceeded to Sontharnptom to meet his Royal Highness on his return from London. The Royal part returned to Osborne at half-past seven o'clock. The Earl of Liverpool, and Sir Hamilton and Lady Seymour, were the only addition to the Royal dinner party yesterday. The Chancellor of the Exchequer bas returned to his seat, Mickleton Hall, near Doncaster, from Drumoor. 2111L1TAItY I.V TELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AuG. 19.—The examination of the non-cotntnis:•ioued officers, &c., attending the Superior District School, established in this garrison, took place this day in Anglesey Barracks in the presence of the Major-General commanding the district (Lord F. Fitzclarence) and other officers of note. The subjects of examination were the following:— Arithmetic--Proportion, Vulgar and Decimal Frac tions, Interest, &c. Algebra—Simultaneous and Quadratic Equations. Field Fortifications—The construction sad use of all kind of Field Works. Permanent ditto—Vauban's first system. Descriptive Gso,graphy—Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. SUN, LONDON, LITERATURE, Season. • CLARA CAMLRON ; or, The Belle of Ow This is one of the most attractive novels of the season, full of sparkling incidents and lively sketelles. It treats . of the varied adventures of a young girl singularly gifted in mind - and person, as she pursues her way amid the highest - Circles of the land. Her story is one of painful interest. Her character is ably drawn. First a devoted maiden, then a digni fied coquette, next a faithful wife to one she had married far policy, not affection ; at last, an exalted martyr, sinking under the weight of forbidden love, maintaining through all her own reputation and the wurld7s respect. The Countess St. Clair, her aunt, is a frivolus lady of fashion, with little to interest save her gay and airy spirit. The Earl of Desmond is a suporior character. In his youth he committed .n unfortunate error, which well u4;11 wrecked hip, peace fox ever, and winch in reality caused himself' and the unfortunate Clara many a year of suffering. They were engaged in early life, but their day reached near its meridian before they were uni•ed. It is a questionable 'satisfaction, however, to learn of mar riages thus heralded by death, an incident too often met with in the novels of the present time. But in this one there is the excuse that, without such a con tinuation of events, the conduct of Clara could not have shone forth so brightly as appeared under such favourable auspices. THE TUTOR'S WARD. By the Author af" Way faring Sketches," kc. This is a very interesting tale, though it follows the present custom of melancholy adventures befalling its heroes and heroines. As in Mrs. Norton's pathetic history of " Stuart of Dunleath," in Lady Ponsonby 's touching " Clare Abbey," in Miss Jewry's clever tale of " The Cup and the Lip," in Mrs. Daniel's in teresting novel of "Fernley Manor," and many others lately published, the author has decreed that the cha racters he pourtrays shall indeed tread a thorny way. It is very powerfully written, and the incidents striking. Its moral may be seen from the following : " His worshipped idol! What words are these to be used from human clay to human clay! Who shall say what judgment they will not call down? Let men look to it who would scorn the making of graven images and the exalting of carved idols, to worship them. Let them look to it, whether the love of any earthly King hath not set itself supreme in their affections, so that their spirit bows before it, forgetting all other adoration." This idea is well carried out in action as well as pre cept. The characters are well drawn: the passionate and poetical Arthur, whose unchecked idolatry hur ries him to such fearful lengths ; the subtle and ma licious Juliet; the gentle and charming Millicent, whose unparalleled sell-devotion and generosity al. most make us ready to pardon and excuse her human worship; the selfish and thoughtless Stephen Aylmer, who so ill deserved her unchanging affection. The minor personages cf the story are also well distin guished, though the view the author takes of human nature is not always the brightest. The following extract is a sample of the power of the style in which it is written : " But Arthur had his treasure. He fled down the stairs—he passed out into the dark night twain. He held in his hand the death warrant of ner whole life's happiness. And had he no remorse, self-elected mur derr,r as he was; had he no thought, save for his own selfish love, his own soul's satisfaction? If by the will of Heaven, the ono solitary and adored hope had been killed within her heart, then for her needful chas tening, doubtless was it done; but who appointed him to be its slayer? Oh, at the last hour, many that have walked through the world with smiling faces and stain less hands shall come out convicted as murderers of the deepest dye, each one—each one who has ever destroyed the happiness of another; and are the sea sands more innumerable? Had the dark earthly passio'n that twined round his soul so enveloped that immortal being in its deadly coils, that he could be no longer sensible of those holier influences that fail not in every time of strong temptation to come as a merciful warning in some one shape or other? Hark I even now that ♦oice from Heeven speaks, which though varied its tone, disguised its sweetness often, yet nevk-r is silent in those tremend ous hours, when ant el and demon struggle for the deathless human spirit. " Arthur stood one moment only on the threshold of his home, and i❑ that moment borne towards him by the obedient wind floating to his charmed ear, there came the ringing music of the sweet church chimes, that night by night thus told the expectant world that Christmas tide drew near." The interest never flags from the first moment, when the unhappy mother of the Tutor's Ward appears to her old lover, the dreaming John Forde, to the con clusion, when the curtain is drawn over the joys and sorrows of the varied scenes, there is not a wearisome page. The change in the bright and cheerful Millicent, who so earnestly desired to see the world, to the self sacrificing yet mistaken heroine of her after life, is well drawn. It cannot fail to attract the attention it merits so well. Matnematicalditto—Methodiof ascertaining the dimen sions of the Earth, latitude, longitude, &c. Grammar—Syntax and Exercises in Parsing. History—Engiand to the reign of George IV. Geometry—" Euclid's Elements," Books 1,2, 3, and 4. Mensuration—Areas and Solidity of most of the Geo metrical Figures. Trigonometry—Solution of Right and Oblique Angled Triangles, with its application to the measurement of heights and distances. Burveying—Methcd of Surveying by Means of the Prismatic Compass. Modelling—Making Models of Sand for Field Works; ditto, plaster—Vauban's and the Modern System of For tification. Mr. Frederick Scrivener was the examining prin cipal. Where all showed much intelligence and proficiency it would be invidious to particularise the superiority of individuals. After the examination, which lasted about three hours, Lord Fitzclarence addressed the soldiers in a becoming and appropriate speech, expressing his approbation at the very grati fying exhibition made by them in their examination, and enjoining them to persevere and apply their minds to those studies which could not fail to increase their importance as men and their value as British soldiers.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, WEDNESDAY.—The match for the Queen's Cup on Tuesday was unfortunate in point of wind. The following yachts started : The Bacchante, 80 tons. The Freak, 60 tons. The Arrow, 84 tons. The Gondola, 87 tons. The wind was light from the north and east. The Arrow took the lead, followed by the Freak, Gondola, and Bacchante, the wind falling off the Freak got ahead, but the Arrow rounded the Nab first. The wind now southerned, and the Freak again took the lead for a short time, but on passing the station vessel off Cowes, the Arrow took her old place, and the Gondola gave in off Yarmouth. The wind again fell off. They now got a breeze from the north-east, and on rounding the western station vessel the Freak was nearly ten minutes astern of the Arrow, and the Bac chante forty•six. The contest from that ,time was considered to be between the Arrow and Freak ; but how uncertain is fortune ! those vessels stood over to the north shore for a breeze, each striving to beat the other, neither thinking one moment about the Bac chante; they appeared to have forgotten whom they were contending against, and that her pilot had won more matches than any other man. All was light and bright on the north shore ; a dark cloud hung over the south. " There's wind under that cloud," said ddrkie, "let's hug the island." The old free-trader had watched many a weary night the winds, the waves ; and the Philistines, and foreknew the signs better. He was right again. Caught a southerly breeze and passed the starting vessel first, on doing which he was hailed from her and the yachts, " The Arrow a-hoy;' but no reply till the word came from the Royal Yacht Society's secretary, when Corke re plied it was the "Baccifaute." It was at this time very dark, 927 P.M. At 9 39 the Arrow passed, and her crew could not for some time believe but they were the first vessel. The Freak arrived at 9 45. The Arrow, by mistake, rounded the wrong vessel, in the dark mistaking her for the starting vessel. THE ROYAL YACHT SOCIETY'S DINNER, AUG. 19. —The muster to-day was much more numerous than common, between sixty and seventy noblemen and gentlemen being present, including the Commodore and Vice-Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, 4nd a moot agreeable evening was spent, though a little anti free-trade sauce was served up. THE MATCH FOR PRINCE ALBERT'S CUP. AUG. 20. For this match the following yachts were entered : Capricorn, 313 tons—C. M. Talbot, Esq. Wyvern, 206 tons—Duke of Marlborough. CJestance,*2lB tons—Marquis Conyngham. Beatrice, 161 tons—Sir P. Carew. Gipsey Queen, 160 tons—Sir H. B. Hoghton. The day proved a fine one, the breeze a light one from the S.W. The Gipsey Queen got the lead and kept it throughout. THE CHALLENGE. G. P. Stephenson, Esq., M.P., has accepted the American commodore's challenge to sail for 1001. in his iron yacht, the Titania, of 100 tons. The day is not yet made public. MATCH THE SECOND. The Constance, 218 tons, is to sail the Destiny, 207 tons, for 100/. ; day not fixed. The American yacht and the Grand Match on Friday next seem to be almost the only thing thought of by the yachtmen (if we except the ladies and the ball to-morrow night). - There are strange stories about her, some of our sailors will have it that she has a screw propeller, and can go as fast as she likes— when she likes. Yatclismen are choosing their favourite yachts and their chances against her; some wish to see the Flirt, but of the vessels entered the " Alarm," " Gipsey Queen," and " Volante" are the favourites ; much de pends on the wind. 'Tis said that the "America" has been offered for sale for 8,000/. ; an English vessel of her tonnage would cost about 5,000/. MISFORTUNES NEVER COME SINGLE.—An old blunderhead having purchased a ticket for a cheap trip to Poulton-le-Sands, went down to the station on Saturday morning, but just as the train was about to start, he dis covered that he tad left his dinner wallet and ticket at home. Away ho ran back, but on his return to the station the train had gone. There was, however, one hope left another train would start at ten o'clock, so old Jemmy (our cheap tripper's name) trudged back to the town, to wait, till ten, when 10, friend Jemmy found himself without snuff ! He purchased some, tau left, without knowing it, his purse on the shop counter He then hurried to the train, and took his seat, but instead o f g o ing to Poulton-le-Sands he was c a nd being unable to pay his f are b ac k, b e trudged home on foot, got gloriously drunk, was lo c k e d u p by the police, brought before the ma g istrate on Monday, and t o fined the usual amount of five shillings. James' s purse i n the meantime, which had b een warned b y the bellman, was rodvgee d money,m to Poulton-le-Fylcie. Here he missed hi s p urse and Lund and restored to him. — Preston Chronicle. GAMBLING IN AD BADEN B -. EN. —An event some what untpual in the gambling watering places of Germany occurred at Baden-Baden two or three days ago. A Russian nobleman, an officer in the guards, broke the bank on two successive evenings, pocketing more than 30,000 (manes. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK.—The " disinterested" conduct of the London and North- Western directors in starting a train at prices (155., 10s., and 55., for the double journey) which, after pay ing toll over the York and North Midland line, insured a certain loss to the shareholders, attracted some fifteen hundeed people to the Euston-square station yesterday morning, and enabled them to fill no less than forty-six carriages ; a few with members of the betting ring, but the majority with characters whose peculiarities were displayed in the course of a journey of nearly ten hours (:), by an extensive transfer of purses, watches, and portmanteaus. We are told that the scenes at the stations were disgraceful, and we know that a dread of a repetition of them will induce the respectable portion of the passengers to throw their tickets behind the fire, and retire by a different route. The Great Northern ran their spscial train at the double journey express fares ; it was well patronized, and like all their trains iu the course of the day, kept admirable time, in this, as in all other respects, having a great advantage over the rival companies. By these, and various other lines, an immense number of passengers have been conveyed to the city, and the streets this morning hale been almost impassable ; if numbers, therefore, will insure success, this will be one of the most brilliant meetings ever held at York, and that it will not want good sport and plenty of it to make it so, the list for the three days places beyond a doubt. The weather is dull and threatening, and the attendance the fullest we have seen on the first day for many years. The DundaaScakes of 50 sovs. each, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sons. each.

THURSDAY THE AMERICA AND 7HE YACTIT CLUBS. 6OUTHAMPTON, ALTG. 20. The following is a copy of the second challenge addressed by Commodore Stevens, on behalf of the New York Yacht Club, to the Earl of Wilton, Com modore cf the Royal Yacht Squadron, offering to sail the America against any English yachts of any size or rig : " Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug. 9. "My Lord,—l had the honour yesterday to receive your communication of the Bth inst., in which you in form me, in reply to the proposition of the New Yo:k Yacht Club (to run the America a4ainst any schooner belonging to any of the yacht clubs of this kingdom), that you will take the earliest opportunity to acquaint the proprietors of such schooner of the proposed trial, and in which you invite me to enter the America as a com petitor for the Cup to be called for at the regatta on the 22d inst. " I beg leave, in reply, to say, that as the period of my visit is ces::;arily limited, and as much time may he consumed .in awaiting answers from the proprietors of schooners, without intending to withdraw that proposition, and although it is my intention to enter for the Cue, provided I um allowed to sail the America in such a manner as her rig requires, yet, as the issue of a regatta is nut always the test of the merits of the vessels engaged in it, I now propose to run the yacht America against any cutter, schooner, or vessel of any other rig of the Royal Yacht Squadron, relinquishing any advantage which your rules admit is due to a schooner from a cutter, but claiming the right to sail the America in such manger (by such booming out) as her raking masts require. " The course to be in the English Channel with not less than a six knot breess. The race to come off some day before the 17th inst. The distance to be not less than 20, nor over 70 miles, out and back, and in such a direction as to test the qualities of the vessels before' and ' by' the wind. " Al; bough it would be most agreeable to me that this race should be run fur a cup of limited value, yet, if it is preferred, I am willing to stake upon the issus any sum not to exceed 10,000 guineas. " I am, &c., " JOHN C. STEVENS, "Commodore New York Yacht Club. " To the Earl of Wilton, Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes." Neither this challenge nor the first challenge which was given to schooners exclusively has been accepted up to this date, and the America has been accordingly entered to sail for the Cup on Friday, the 223 inst., and will start, as Commodore Stevens says in his note, " if there is any wind," SPORTING NOTES.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway ' s Ointment and Pills, a most excellent remedy for Abscesses and Old Wounds. —Thomas Edwards, a labourer in Portsmouth Dockyard, re ceived a severe hurt in his thigh, about four years back, by a piece of timber falling on him.

BRITISH ARCHAOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. On Monday evening the eighth annual meeting of this associa tion commenced at Derby, and was tolerably well attended. Among those present, besides Sir Oswald Mosley, the presi dent for the year, were the Mayor of Derby, James Heywood, Esq., M.P., Dr. John Lee, Rear-Admiral Sir W. H. Dillon, K.C.H., Sir Fortunatns Dwarris, T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., H. Stevens, Esq., &c. The president, in his inaugural address, after some introductory observations on the interesting nature of archmological pursuits, related some curious circumstances regarding Derbyshire, from the time of the ancient Britons, when it formed part of an immense forest, to modern times, when it was the scene of the establishment of silk manufac ture, in 1717, by the ingenious but ill-fated :mechanic John Lombe—of the desperate invasion of England by Charles Edward, in 1745 (the house in which he took up his head quarters remains to this day, in much the same state as it then was)—and, finally, of the first idea of the Crystal Palace, " conceived by the mind of Paxton, and executed by the hand of Fox." The speech was well received, and called forth a cordial vote of thanks from the meeting. The treasurer (Mr. Pettigrew) then read a paper entitled "Cur sory Remarks on Antiquities ;" and the proceedings closed with several interesting lectures—one delivered by Mr. Planche on the "Armorial Bearings of the Earls de Ferrers ;" another "On the Local Laws, Courts, and Customs of Derbyshire," by Sir Fortunatns Dwarris; and the last dis course consisted of " Extracts from Church Registers, and same Municipal Notices of Derby," prepared by Mr. 'l. S. Reed.

The second annual meeting was held last evening at the Parthenium-rooms, St. Martin's- lane ; P. E. Barnes, Esq., in the chair. A letter was read from George Thompson, Esq., M.P. (one of the trustees), regretting his inability to attend. Mr. G. Iluggett, the secretary, read the annual report of the committee, of which the following is an extract : " The committee submit to the members a report of the society, and in so doing they hove much plea sure in being again enabled to present a favourable account of its condition. I , s progress is best marked by the increase of its members. The number of shares now held is 1,340, inclusive of those taken up on the Moulsey es t ate , an d t h e tota l rece ipt s o f the society since its form4rion amount to 7,9681. ls. 6d. Itn pressed with th e magn i tu d e o f t h e i nteres t s committed to their care the committee have persevered in the Course which received the approbation of the mem bers at their first annual meeting, they ,have ac cordingly bent their efforts, not to merely. enume reins and rapid purchases of estates, but to the acquisition of unquestionable gocd ones, such as bhould sustain the credit of the society, by the undoubted value cf each of the particular allotments. Of the many offers made, the committee have thought it expedient to accept only one, namely, for the purchase of 24 acres at Reigate (rehere there are a large number of members), at the price of 3,6001. This estate will be allotted in the course of the present autumn. Your committee are now in treaty for an estate in Middlesex, in a locality suited to the requirements of many of their members. .As to the estate at East Moulsey, the committee have to report that the di v i s i on of i t has b een comp l e t e d i n the most satisfactory manner, and several houses are in course of erecti on , t h e restrictions wh i c h t h ey in troduced into the con veyances have met with entire approbation, and have most materially enhanced the value of the property, and t h e committee have the gratification cf pointing to this purchase as an ample testimony of the correctness of the principles adopted by the society. The land was bought for the sum 0f 4,7c)51., and it has been distributed to the allottees at 5,5821., or about 17 per cent., inclusive of all expenses, while in some other societies the increase on the original cost had been nearly 100 per cent., or at the same rate at which estates of such other so cieties had been allotted. The Moulsey property instead of have cost the allottees nearly 12 , 0001 ., of 5,8001. No charge has,been made to the mortgag ing members for interest on the money . advanced to them, except the very trifling amount of interest on any sum temporarily borrowed to complete a pur chase, whil e b e i ng pu t i n t o immediate possession of their allotments they are placed in a position of reap ing the earliest advantages of which their freeholds are capable. The committee feel it incumbent to re cord their deep sense of the invaluable services ren dered to the society by th e L an d C omm ittee, to whose practical experience may be attributed the advantageous purchases already made, and their acknowleagments are specially due to Messrs. Vine and Pemberton, th e purc h asers on be half of the society, for the gratuitous superin tendence and indefatigable attention given by them to the society ; and through their aid the expense of allotting the Moulsey estate is less by some 2001. than it would otherwise have been. With regard to the constitutional and political results of the East Moul sey and Reigate estates, the committee may observe that 140 additional freeholders will have votes for the western division, and about 130 for the eastern divi sion. Already the names of 50 new freeholders ap• pear on the list of voters for the former electoral dis trict, and the Reigate purchase, in addition to its being one of the most eligible building sites in the county, is within the boundary cf the borough, which comprises exalt 200 votes, occupying houses chiefly in the hands of one landlord, while the occupiers of the allotments of the members will be independent of similar influence. The committee recommend the following alteration in the rules—' That of the number of allotments in every future purchase, a portion, not exceeding one-half, shall be offered to members (according to seniority of membership) who shall agree to pay up the whole cost of their allot ments, together with a charge of five per cent. on the amount of such cost to be applied towards the defrayal of the general expenses of this society ; and the re maining allotments shall be exclusively. devoted to the other members in rotation, all parties jointly balloting for priority of choice.'—The effect of this alteration will be to enable the society to purchase whenever a desirable opportunity offers, and consequently to expe dite the subscribing members obtaining their allotment. In advising this step the committee have sought to &void what they conceive to be a most objection able element, namely, the practice of ballotting for allotments, the tendency of which is to induce re liance upon chance and not upon the prudence and forethought of the members. The committee cannot conclude their report without adding their own testimony to that already borne by the members in their re-election of the solicitor and the secretary at the last meeting to the untiring zeal and very great ability with which Mr. G. E. Dennes and Mr. G. Iluggett, the gentlemen who respectively fill these offices, have discharged their highly important duties." The report was unanimously adopted, the altera tion in the rules agreed to, and a vote of thanks tv the chairman closed the proceedings. THE AMERICAN PRINTEE,--" I pity the printer i " said my uncle, Toby. "H e ' s a poor creature, " re j o i ned Trim. "How so?" said my uncle. "Because, in the first place," continued the corporal, looking full upon my uncle, "he must endeavour to please everybody. In the negli gence of a moment, perhaps, a small paragraph pops upon him. He hastily throws it to the compositor; it is inserted, and he is ruined to all intents and purposes." " Too much the case Trim," said my uncle, with a deep sigh ; " too much the case." " And please your honour," continued Trim, elevating his voice, and striking into an imploring attitude, " this is not the whole." "Go on, Trim," said my uncle, feelingly. "The printer sometimes," pursued the corpor ral, "hits upon a piece that pleases mightily, and he thinks that it cannot but go down with his subscribers. But, alas ! Sir, who can calculate the human mind? He . inserts it, and it is all over with him. They forgive others, but they cannot forgive a printer. I-Te has a host to print for, and every one sets up for a critic. The pretty Miss exclaims, Why don't he give us more poetry. marriages, and boa taets?—away with these stale pieces.' The poli tician claps his specs on nose, and reads it ever in search of a violent invective; he finds none, takes his specs off, folds them, sticks them in his pocket, declaring the paper good for nothing but to burn. So it goes. Every oue thinks it ought to be printed expressly for him as a sub scriber ; and yet. after all this complai n i ng , wou ld you be lieve it, Sir," said the corporal, clasping his hands beseech ingly, " would you believe it, Sir, there are some sub scribers who do not hesitate to cheat the printer out of his pay ?"
