Lewin_Slßilaving i n y ester d ay ' s Notes disposed of the gton and two other Stakes, I will now proceed to examine the remainder, commencing with the Castle Park Stakes of 10 eovs. each, with 50 added, for two years old c o l ts and fillies; about seven furlongs. The re doubtable Elcot's name figures in the entry, but as the value of the stake does not exceed 1701., and moreover, as he will have to carry lib extra for his former victo ries, making th e we i ght 9st, I should hardly imagine he W ould be a ll owed to , tart • if ho does, as a matter of course he Wing. In Elcot's absence I feel inclined to tt , l cutd the p a l m to HIRI•UTA or Ibis, former for enoice ; at the same time ex p ect i ng to see Jerrys in the thi r d position, and but a couple of starting, w h o may struggle hopelessly in the rear.

THE [The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night :—] THE QUEEN'S PROGRESS. (From the Second Edition of the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Thursday.) HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL IN EDINBURGH. From a regard to the wishes of her Majesty, the preparations made by the authorities here for the re ception of the Sovereign, were limited to the neces sary arrangements for the preservation of order among the multitudes expected to assemble in the Queen's.park. List year was the first occasion on which her Majesty had visited Holyrood Palace; and the public entry had in consequence something of the character of a state pageant. This year, how ever, the royal visit was understood to be strictly private ; and a general desire was entertained to re spect, as far as possible, the privacy which it was the wish of her Majesty to enjoy. The royal landing-place, as last year, was at St. Margaret's-station, Meadowbank. Amidst many dis advantages, it is in present circumstances perhaps the best. Within a short distance of the Palace, it is easily reached without the fatigue attending a public progress through the crowded streets of the city. Still, in many respects, it is capable of improvement. For instance, it is within a few yards of a grim and smoky tunnel, and is overlooked by the contiguous buildings. The line at this point is curved and narrow, and the gradient heavy ; while the difficulties of the landing, arising from the sloping bank (which ought, at least, to be planted with ornamental shrubbery), have to be overcome by successive flights of steps. The grandeur of the neighbouring hills, however, renders the embel lishments of art of less consequence ; and as an exten sive addition is shortly to be made to the royal demense in that quarter, we may indulge the hope to have one entrance to the Queen's Park worthy of the Sovereign and of the natural magnificence of the grounds. Tne ornamental arcade erected last year at St. Margaret's station for the royal landing having been allowed to remain after the occasion had passed away, it was restored to its former elegance without much difficulty or expense. The style of the internal decoration is arabesque; and the masses o► drapery having been arranged with fine artistic effect, a striking and graceful coup dad is produced. The design is very tasteful, the different colours of the drapery blending with good effect. The pil lars supporting the roof are fluted, pink, and white ; and in the intervals between each were some splendid exotic plants embedded in moss (from the garden of Mr. Eagle Henderson, Vice-Chairman of the Company), which added much to the beauty of the interior. The transparent sides—formed of linen—admitted a sub clued light that was extremely effective, investing the whole with the charms of a fairy scene. The deco rations of the exterior of the arcade towards the rail way were chiefly floral, a magnificent floral crown being exhibited over the entrance. The gateway opening upon the public road, opposite Parsonsgreen, displayed a graceful arch adorned with dahlias and bay leaves, surmounted with a splendid floral crown. The steps and platform were laid with crimson cloth, having in the centre the Royal Stuart hunting tartan. The extensive works of the company at St. Margaret's were decorated with flags and shrubbery, and nearly all the engines upon the line displayed some floral emblems in honour of the day. The workmen, num bering several hundreds, had an entire holiday, and, with their wives and families, were ranged in front of the works. There were no erections of any kind in the Queen's Park, and no hustings were, permitted in St. Ann's Yard, as last year. Her Majesty was expected to arrive here about half-past three or four o'clock. The directors of the orth British Railway—including Mr. Eagle Hen derson, the Vice-Chairman, Sir Jas. Forrest, Bart., of Comiston, Mr. Charles Trotter, &c.—and the resi dent engineers of the company, left Edinburgh at ten o clock in a special train for Berwick, to meet her Majesty. The military, the city police, and the con stabulary arrived at their respective positions shortly after two o'clock. The guard of honour at the railway station consisted of one captain, two subal terns, and 50 men of the 33d Regiment, with the band of the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, and the Queen's colour. The escort was composed of ens officer and 25 men of the 6th Dragoons. Both sides of the road in the Queen's Park, from the Railway Station to the Palace, were lined by the 6th Dragoons and 331 Regiment, one squadron of the former ex tending from the terminus towards the Palace, and the other squadron from the Palace towards the drill ground—the 33d occupying the space between the two squadrons. The city police were also stationed at intervals along the route. The weather—according to the characteristic good fortune of her Majesty—was delightful ; and, fresh as the circumstances of her last visit to Holy rood are in the recollection of the inhabitants, the general anxiety to welcome the Sovereign on the present occasion appeared to have sustained little diminution. Early in the afternoon the city poured forth vast masses of its population, overflowing all the avenues to the Queen's Park. Several excursion trains from different parts of the country helped, in no small degree, to swell the throng. Many parts of the town had quite a holiday aspect. The line of the royal progress attracted an immense number of spec tators, as the elevated ground overlooking the road in the Duke's-walk commanded the nearest and perhaps the best view of the royal cortege. The crowds on the opposite hills had a striking and romantic appear ance. Most of the rugged outlines of these pic turesque heights were occupied as a " coigne of vantage" by eager parties, who viewed with philo sophic composure the restless mass below. Some were even enthusiastic enough to climb to the lofty site of the grey ruins of the chapel and hermitage of St. Anthony, which presented a singular contrast to the usually retired character of the spot. The windows of the few houses at Meadowbank were filled by brilliant parties of ladies ; and not a few of the opposite sex, with characteristic daring, had " climbed up to walls and battlements, To towers and windows, yea to chimney tops," to command a better view; while a number of ladies and, gentlemen, from the grounds of Parsonsgreen, witnessed both the arrival and the departure of her Majesty. The vast assemblage—which, however, from the extent of the ground, seemed less numerous and imposing than might have been anticipated—awaited without impatience the arrival of the Queen. About two o'clock, the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Lieutenant of the county, arrived on the ground. His Grace was not in uniform, but wore the blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter, Mr. Sheriff Gordon, and Mr. J. A. Campbell, sheriff-clerk of the county of Edinburgh, were also in attendance about the same time; and Major-General Riddell and staff arrived shortly afterwards. The royal carriages were drawn up in front of the station at half-past two o'clock. The approach of her Majesty towards Edinburgh was intimated by telegraph as the royal train passed each station. The special train with the directors of the North British Railway Company arrived at St. Margaret's station at half , past three o'clock precisely, with tidiags that the royal train was at hand. The eleeering of the workmen at St. Margaret's station announced the near approach of her Majesty, and iramediately afterwards the royal train arrived at the platform. The engine (belonging to the North B'.itish Railway Company) was decorated in a su- Tnerb style. It had in front a splendid gilt crown ; and displayed from an arch, in conspicuous charac ters, the popular aspiration—" God save the Queen 1" Longitudinal arches decorated the sides of the en gine, bearing the mottoes—" Long live the Royal Family," and " Success to the British Empire." The tender was covered with a handsome green velvet cloth, with gold tassels; and it also displayed a pro fusion of floral ornaments. The engine was driven by Mr. Thornton, the superintendent of that department of the company's establishment. The royal train consisted of eight carriages. Three of them were elegant saloons, for the use of her Ma jesty, the Royal Family, and the members of the suite. They are constructed of teak wood, and have been finished with exquisite taste and elegance. The Queen's saloon carriage, made for the occasion, is eighteen feet in length, and seven and a half broad. The truck upon which it is fixed is strongly made of the best British oak, firmly bolted together, fitted with improved axles, patent buffers, very deep flanges to the wheels, and the very best manufactured springs. The lining of the interior is of the richest description of India brocade silk, with a pure white ground, superbly flowered. The windows are of the most costly plate glass, and the whole of the furniture, as well as the retiring room attached to the saloon, is of walnut-tree wood, the chairs and ottomans being covered with the same material as the lining of the carriage. The carriage is lighted from a lantern, with a powerful reflector, over the retiring-room, and on the opposite side of the saloon is a magnificent mirror reflecting the light back again, giving the apartment a most brilliant and elegant appearance. The only exterior distinction is a broad gold moulding round the carriage, with a gilt crown and coat-of-arms over each doorway, and the panels exquisitely painted with the orders of the Batb, the Garter, and the other orders of knighthood. The Prince of Wales' saloon and retiring• room is of equal dimensions, and equally elegant, with the exception that the lining is pure white brocaded silk, instead of having any coloured flowers ; and the saloon for the royal suite is very similar—the curtains are of green silk, affixed to gilt rods, and the saloons are fitted with wine coolers, chiffonniers, couches, &c., and all the luxuries of an elegantly furnished apartment. In ad dition to the saloon carriages, three ordinary, but en tirely new first-class carriages formed part of the S UN, LONDON,' royal train, with break and luggage vans. Her Ma -1 jesty's carriages and horses arrived here last night. The royal train having arrived at the platform, her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the other members of the royal party alighted. They were received on the platform by the Duke of Buccleuch, Major-General Riddell, Mr. Sheriff Gordon, r. Eagle Henderson, and Mr. J. A. Campbell. ler Majesty and Prince Albert cordially recognised the Duke of Buccleuch ; and immediately took their seats in the royal carriages with their Royal Highnesses the Prince of \Vales and the Princess Royal. Prince Alfred and the Princess Alice occupied the second carriage with the Countess of Desert, the Hon. Miss Byng, and Mies Hildyard. Lord John Russell, who was in attendance upon her Majesty, occupied the third carriage, with the Hon. Colonel Gordon and the Hon. Colonel Phipps. Sir James Clark end the other members of the Royal suite followed in the other carriages. Her Majesty and Prince Albert looked extremely well. Her Majesty was plainly attired in a light dress and Paisley shawl, with a straw bonnet and white feather. The Prince wore a grey frock coat. The Royal cortege then moved towards Holyrood Palace at a smart pace, surrounded by the high constables of Edinburgh, with the Moderator (Mr. G. Beattie) at their head. it was preceded by an escort of cavalry and outriders. The moment it was seen to enter the Park, a shout of welcome was raieed by the vast crowd, gradually swelling into one general and prolonged burst of acclamation till her Majesty had passed. Her Majesty and her illustrious Consort seemed to enjoy the grandeur of the scene, and bowed with characteristic grace in acknowledg ment of the cordial greetings of her loyal subjects. The department of the spectators was marked by pro found respect ; and the cheering, though always loud and hearty, was never boisterous. The aspect of the Well Crag—the sloping hill below St. Anthony's Chapel —crowded with a dense mass of spectators—was very striking. Gradually rising like the seats of an amphi theatre, its verdant sides enabled the vast multitude to view the moving scene below with comfort. The waving of hats and handkerchiefs on the arrival of the Queen evinced a desire to join in the general welcome ; but from the exuberant enthusiasm of the surging mass below, the acclamations of the others were scarcely heard. Still, her Majesty must have been gratified by the abundaut testimony of loyalty and affection dis played on every side. The Premier, when recognised by the crowd, was loudly cheered, and seemed much impressed with the cordiality of her Majesty's reception. HOLYROOD PALACE. The alterations in the royal apartments at Holyrood —principally in the way of embellishment—which have been in progress during the last few weeks, were completed in ample time for the reception of the Sovereign. Most of the domestics of the royal household having preceded her Majesty by several days, everything was in readiness for the royal family. Fart of the royal carriages arrived from London by special train on Monday evening, and were dispatched to the railway station early in the afternoon for Stonehaven, where they will be in readiness to convey her Majesty and the royal suite to Balmoral. _ _ _ At eleven o'clock this forenoon a guard of honour, consisting of one captain, two subalterns, and fifty men of the 33d Regiment, came on duty at the Palace. The band of the 33d was also stationed in the quadrangle, and played at intervals. The inclosure around the statue of her Majesty by Mr. Handyside Ritchie was at an early hour removed, and the figure and ornamental pedestal displayed to the best advantage. Until the barriers were closed, the statue was the object of much interest and attention. The quadrangle was lined with the Inniskilling Dragoons, while the infantry were drawn up in front of the Palace, and the entrance on either side was kept by the High Constables of Holyrood, Canongate, and Calton. The Lord Provost reached the Palace at three o'clock At a quarter to four the advanced guard of the cavalry and the Queen's outriders reached the Palace, Mr. Sheriff Gurdon's carriage preceding the royal cortege. The carriage of her Majesty, the approach of which was heralded by loud cheering, then drew up at the gate ; Prince Albert first alighted, and after as sisting the Queen, he gave her his arm, and proceeded to the royal apartments. They were accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Alice ; the Countess of Desart and the Hon. Miss Byng followed. Lord John Russell, Sir James Clark, the Hon. Colonel Gordon, and the Hon. Colonel Phipps, alighted at some distance from the gate, and followed the Royal party into the Palace. The Royal party was received at the Palace by the Duke of Baccleuch, who had accompanied the royal car riage on horseback from the station ; Mr. Rutherford, the deputy-kGeper of the Palace, Major Biddulph of the Royal Household, who had arrived previously to the Royal party ; the Lord Provost, Mr. Sheriff Gordon, &c. The royal standard was hoisted on the Palace immediately on the Queen's arrival, and the signal was answered by a royal salute from the Castle. The band of the 33d played the national anthem, and the regiment presented arms, while amidst the sounds of general rejoicing were heard the chimes of the church bells. Shortly Lefore her Majesty approached the Palace, the sun, which had hitherto been clouded, broke out with great splendour, and rendered the scene truly animated and beautiful. Oa the Calton-hill, the north part of Salisbury Crags, and other eminences, were congregated a great number of gaily dressed people—the groups being distinctly seen as the landscape was thus beau tifully lit up. At half-past four the carriages were ordered for the royal party to take a drive before dinner. It is understood that this evening the Lord Provost will receive the honour of knighthood from her Ma jesty. The military were under the command of Major- General Riddell. Mr. Sheriff Gordon took the superintendence of the arrangements at the Palace and the railway-station. The city police force was headed by our able superintendent, Mr. Linton, and the different lieutenants ; Mr. List, the efficient head of the county police, had the charge of the landing platform. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) EDINBURGH, FRIDAY NIGHT. At eight o'clock this morning her Majesty left Holyrood, under a salute from the Castle, and at tended by a large concourse of people from the St. Margaret's Station. She proceeded to Tarbert, and thence by the Scottish Midland to Forfar. She was received by the cheers of thousands of persons at Forfar, and by salutes from the Castle. Along the route to Stonehaven the Royal party proceeded by the Aberdeen Railway, and arrived at 12-45. The new route, which is 1452 miles from Edin burgh, was selected to save the Queen the inconve nience of travelling over the inferior roads from Cupar Angus to Balmoral. Her Majesty having partaken of luncheon at the station, which was fitted up for the purpose as well as the limited ;.accommodation would allow, proceeded an her way to Balmoral in an open carriage, accompanied by Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal. The wind blew keenly across the mountains, but the royal party encountered it without hesitation ; the other royal children followed in a close carriage alone. Lord J. Russell, Sir James Clark, Colonel Gordon, and others had no better means of conveyance than an inconvenient char- (1- banc, but the Premier, with his usual intrepidity, took the front place, and prepared with calmness for a drive of five hours in the teeth of the blast. Ban chory Day., the Dee side, formed the terminus of the first stage—a long 15 miles. Th© cortige wound along by the Dee, which presents endless variety of scenery, through Kincardine, Charleston, and Aboyne to Ballater, where it crosses over to the south bank. At half-past six o'clock the Queen and Royal party arrived at Balmoral.—Times. --- FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE ON THE NORTH KENT RAlLwAY.—Yesterday morning, shortly before four o'clock, an accident, attended with the must shocking circumsiances, took place on the _North Kent Railway, to a young man named .Jonathan Church, aged 2S years, whereby he sus tained such complicated injuries that he cannot possibly re cover. It appears that the deceased and other workmen were engaged near Blackheath repairing the line, when an engine entered the tu nne l, w ith several trucks loaded with ballast, on the up-rails, for the purpose of discharging their cargo. The deceas e d s t e pp e d b ac k o n to the down line, not paying any attention to the engine, which had shifted its position and was making for London, and before he could get out of the way, the buffers struck him with fearful violence and knocked him down across the rails, when the wheels of the several carriages passed over him. An alarm was raised and every exertion used to stop the train, but the deceased was discovered in a fearfully mutilated condition, the right leg being completely cut off near the knee, and the other most shockingly mangled and torn. Several of his coin pan'ons ran to his assistance and raised Lim up in a state of He was then pla ce d i n one o f the carr i ages , which conveyed him to the London-bridge, terminus, from whence he was taken to the accident ward of St. Thomas's Hospital, where he was immediately attended to by Mr. Chaldicot, the house surgeon, and Mr. Leyros Clarke, the assistant -surgeon, both of whom rendered every poss ibl e a i d. Mr. Bl'Murdo, the senior surgeon, subsequently was called to the case, which had assumed a serious aspect. SPIRIT COLOURING.—An article imported from France, under the title of colouring syrup, having been tested by the authoritie , , was found to contain nearly 50 per cent. of spirit, and being mixed with ingredients which wholly impeded the action of the hydrometer, is liable on importa tion into the United Kingdom from.

By the Levant mail we have received Constanti nople journals to the 14th, and Athens journals to the 18h, both inclusively. There is no political news of interest from the Turkish capital. The Journal de Constantinople publishes a long account of the launch of the Mahmoudie ship of the line, in presence of the Sultan, who previous to the launch went on board and examined the ship in detail. The Courrier d'Athimes is also destitute of poli tical news of importance. It announces that the Queen was about to leave for Oldenburg, to at tend a marriage in her family. The same journal gives several accounts of further acts of piracy and brigandage. The celebrated pirate George Negros landed at CC:a on the 7th, at the head of six men armed to the teeth. They ill-treated the quaran tine officer, robbed him of all he had, and even of his seal of office; they then compelled him to procure them provisions, and broke into a store, from which they took more. They next robbed several boats, and went away. The authorities sent 30 men in nursuit of them, but without success. The French Minister consented, at the request of the Government, to allow the Chaptal steamer to go in search of the pirates. The pirate Negros sub sequently landed at Naxos, robbed the offices of the quarantine, and took away the seal, together with 40 drachmas in money. Amongst the acts of brigandage recorded is the pillaging of a monastery in Euboea; large sums of money and the sacred vessels were taken ay-, ay, and four gendarmes were captured ; also the invading of the town of Callidroma, and the complete sacking of Marathia ; in the latter place a student was horribly tortured. An engagement took place on the 13th, at a short distance from the chief town of the province of Bceotia, between a band of brigands under the chief TaSSO3 and a detachment of gendarmes; two brigands and two gendarmes were killed. MODERN ROMA,NISM. DR. NEWMAN'S DESCRIPTION OF THE MIRACLES AND RELICS OF HIS CHURCH. Aris's Birmingham Gazette of Monday gives a report of Dr. Newman's last lecture, in which the following passage appears : " Certainly the Catholic Church, from east to west, from north to south, is, according to our concep tions, hung with miracles. The store of relics is in exhaustible—they are multiplied through all lands, and each particle of each has in it a dormant, perhaps an energetic virtue of supernatural ope ration. At Rome there is the true cross, the crib of Bethlehem, and the chair of St. Peter, Portions of the crown of thorns are kept at Paris; the holy coat is shown at Treves ; the winding-sheet at `Turin; at Monza, the iron crown is formed out of a nail of the cross; and another nail is claimed for the Duomo of Milan ; and pieces of our Lady's habit are to be seen in the Escurial. The agnus dei, blessed medals, the scapular, the cord of St. Francis, all are the medium of divine manifestations and graces. Crucifixes have bowed the head to the suppliant, and Madonnas have bent their eyes upon assembled crowds. St. Januarius's blood liquefies periodically at Naples ; and St. Winifred's well is the scene of wonders even in an unbelieving country. Women are marked with the sacred stigmata ; blood has flowed on Fridays from their five wounds, and their heads are crowned with a circle of lacerations. Relics are ever touching the sick, the diseased, the wounded, sometimes with no result at all, at other times with marked and undeniable efficacy. Who has not heard of the abundant favours gained by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, and of the marvellous conse quences which have attended the invocation of St. Anthony of Padua ? These phenomena are some times reported of saints in their lifetime, as well as after death, especially if they were evangelists or mar tyrs. The wild beasts crouched before their victims in the Roman amphitheatre; the axeman was unable to sever St. Cecilia's head from her body, and St. Peter elicited a spring of water for his gaoler's bap tism in the Mamertime. St. Francis Xavier turned salt water into fresh for five hundred travellers; St. Raymond was transported over the sea on his cloak ; St. Andrew shone brightly in the dark; St. Scholas tica gained by her prayers a pouring rain; St. Paul was fed by ravens ; and St. Frances saw her guardian angel. I need not continue the catalogue. I will avow distinctly that, putting out of the question the hypo thesis of unknown laws of nature (which is an evasion from the force of any proof), I think it impossible to with stand the evidence which is brought for the liquefaction of the blood of St. Januarius at Naples, and for the motion of the eyes of the pictures of the Madonna in the Roman States. I see no reason to doubt the material of the Lombard crown at Monza ; and I do not see why the holy coat at Treves may not have been what it professes to be. I firmly believe that portions of the true cross are at Rome and elsewhere, that the crib of Bethlehem is at Rome, and the bodies of St. Peter and St. Paul also. I believe that at Rome too lies St. Stephen, that St. Matthew lies at Salerno, and St. Andrew at Amalfi. I firmly believe that the relics of the saints are doing innumerable miracles and graces daily, and that it needs only for a Catholic to show devotion to any saint in order to receive especial benefits from his intercession. I firmly believe that saints in their lifetime have before now raised the dead to life, crossed the sea without ves sels, multiplied grain and bread, cured incurable diseases, and stopped the operation of the laws of the universe in a multitude of ways. Many men when they hear an educated man so speak, will at once im pute the avowal to insanity, or to an idiosyncracy, or to imbecility of mind, or to decrepitude of powers, or to fanaticism, or to hypocrisy. They have a right to say so, if they will ; and we have a right to ask them why they do not say it of those who bow down before the Mystery of Mysteries, the Divine Incarnation. If they do not believe this, they are not yet Protestants." BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

MARSHALL, Clziof Cashier. 151. Dated the 28th day of August, MATRIMONIAL BLISS. On Thursday afternoon, just before the departure of the Birmingham train, a curious scene took place at the Derby station. A married female, tolerably good look ing, but a perfect termagant, was in the act of taking her departure in an open carriage, when the indignant husband came in pursuit of her; whereupon an inde scribable contention took place between the two. From what we could gather on the spot, it appears that some unpleasantness had occurred between the two who had been united in the bonds of holy wedlock, and had taken each other for " better or worse." They had (so the story goes) been before the magistrates, and, in the words of the wife, " the mayor had separated them," and she was determined to live a life of single blessedness. Finding that she was on the point of taking her departure, the husband went in hot pursuit to the station, and insisted upon his wife leaving the carriage. She resisted, and a " scene" ensued which caused the officers of the company to in terfere. At length the husband, finding that he could not get his wife out of the carriage, hit upon the expe dient of accompanying her, and immediately ran into the booking-office to procure a ticket. Having obtained one ho sprang into the carriage, to the great mortification of his " dearly beloved," who writhed and fumed, and in her excitement, or from a natural impetuosity, used language not the most agreeable to ears polite. Finding that she was check-mated, she then made an attempt to spring out of the carriage, but was withheld by the persons in the carriage, the husband looking on with the greatest coolness. At length the whistle sounded and away went the train, the woman's voice being heard far above the din, her arms striking the air. How, when arrived at their journey's end, the " happy couple" would arrango,their differences—or whether she succeeded in escaping the vigilance of the husband, de ponent knoweth not. It seemed, however, to be the general opinion of the bystanders that the man was a fool for his pains, and that he had undertaken a wild goose chase, which was likely to end in bitter dis appointment.---Derby Reporter. TAKING THE THE LION'S SHARE.—..A. Visit of a " wild beast show" being now-a-days rather a rare occurrence in this quarter, a considerable number of our juvenile popula tion took the opportunity of seeing the small collection which was exhibiting upon the North Inch at the end of last week A little urchin, after having gratified his curiosity by gazing at the elephant, bears, tigers, &c., happening to cast his eyes upwards espied the scraps of meat, hearts, lights, and livers, which have been purchased to feed the beasts, lying in a heap upon the top of one of the waggons, and his appe tite for butcher meat—an article which he had perhaps few opportunities of tasting--being whetted thereby, he resolved to make an attempt to obtain possession of t he provender. For this purpose he left the show , went outside in the dark, and climbed up to the top of the waggon, where he delibe rately helped himself to the whole of the hearts, which he carried off, leaving the rest of the offal, which, we suppose, he thought good enough and sufficient enough, for the car nivorous quadrupeds inside.--Perth Courier. ILLNESS OF THE MARCIIIONESS Or THOMOND.— The Marchioness of Thomond has been confined to her room for several weeks pa st b y severe indisposition, which has , taken a dangerous turn, so much so, that serious alarm is Ifelt at the mans ion in Eaton-square as to its ultimate termi ' nation. From inquiries, we have ascertained that the noble sufferer is unable at present to leave her bed. A few days ago there was a changatle.auance .for the better, but we regret to say it wg MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From th< , London New Price Current, Aug. 29.)

A VESSEL WREClEED.—Accordi ng to the Guernsey Comet, the pilot cutter Brisk, 15 tons (N.M.), went out last Tuesday morning from St. Sampson's Harbour, for the pur pose of piloting vessels. The crew consisted of seven pilord a ts, one of whom, in the course of the day, was pu s o boa vessel for France. In the afternoon, a b o ut four o'clock, it was blowing fresh from the N.E., the vessel being then some considerable distance to the eastward of the Amphrocq, and she was laid to. The watc h was changed, and four of the men went below to rest, the remaining two being left on deck to take charge of the cutter. It appears, however, that one of these subsequently went below to light his pipe, and remained there. It is conjectured that he must have fallen asleep, and the one left on deck must also have dropped into the arms of Morpheus.

DIRECT CALAIS AND MOOLTAN RAIL IVA Y. " COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND INDIA. TIME, FROM LONDON TO CALCUTTA, SEVEN DAIS, WITHOUT STOPPAGES." Such is the announce ment which, in plain type and straightforward phrase, lies now before us. To be sure, the information is termed a prophecy, but, unlike most prophecies, it fixes the exact period of its own fulfilment, and that period is only 14 years distant. Moreover, the con summation is to be gradual, and every five years will not only contribute its own realized portion of the work, but give a pledge for the completion of the rest. In sober truth the scheme exhibits not the first visionary ideas of a projector, but the revised designs of an engineer who has been for some time engaged in maturing the means of the undertaking. About two years ago we surprised our readers with the ori ginal prospectus of the "Direct Calais and Mooltan," and some doubts were, perhaps, entertained as to the sericuseess of such an extraordinary suggestion. Since that time, however, the scheme has been ac tually extended in its scope, ditcussed in its details, approved in much of its purport, and so far advanced that of the four great divisions of the route two have been positively decided on, and are in present course of completi on . To form a proper judgment on the character of this enterprise, the reader should open some general map including the continents of Europe and Africa, with so much of Asia as would comprise the mouths of the Ganges, and then follow our remarks, pencil in hand, upon the sheet before him. The ancient route from England to India was round the Cape of Good Hope —a passage which was performed wholly by sea, and which generally occupied of late years about 100 days. In 1840 the first step of a new system had been taken by turning the course straight to the east at the Gut of Gibraltar, carrying it along the Mediterranean Sea, across the Isthmus of Suez, down the Bed Sea, and so over the Indian Ocean to Bombay, or round Ceylon to Calcutta. Nor was this all, for by traversing France from Calais to Marseilles the de tour round Cape St. Vincent—a detour exactly re sembling on a smaller scale that round the Cape of Good Hope —was altogether escaped, and the route assumed the appearanc e of a tolerably straight line from Calais to Aden. It will be observed that this gain had been effected partly by the division of the voyage into stages, whereby steam power became available, but more notably by the substitution of over land cuts for long sea circuits. Thus, the cut from Calais to Marseilles saved the circuit round Spain, and that across Egypt the vast circuit round the Cape. Now, to put the matter concisely, this substitution of land carriage for water carriage is the one simple principle of the scheme before us, and the problem is nothing more than this—how to eliminate from the route between Marseilles and Calcutta those portions which are still performed by sea, and sub stitute instead thereof seine means of transport by land. Curiously enough, this is the exact reversal of that invention which changed the face of history four centuries ago. At that time the communication with the East was by land, but land journeys were then so painful and adventurous that the discovery of a sea passage round the Cape at once diverted the course of traffic to a route which it still steadily maintains. At present, by the introduction of railroads, land travel has become to sea voyages what sea voyages were to inediteval caravans, and the consequence is that Vasco di Gama's invention will be superseded in its turn, and the traffic of the East will once more be conducted through Constantinople, Augsburg, and Cologne. The sea stages of the present route to India, ; ex clusive of the trip across the Channel, are tw o one from Marseilles or Trieste to Alexandria, and th e other from Suez to Bombay or Calcutta. These stages constitute by far the longest part of the journey, being 5,075 miles, performed by learners, from which an ave rage speed of some 10 miles an hour is all that can be expected. The longer, again, of these two stages is that from Suez to Hindostan, as it includes a circuit round two sides of the triangular territory of Arabia. The first object, therefore, is to treat the detour by Aden as the detours by Cape St. Vincent and the Cape of Good Hope have been treated already, and this is to be done by carrying the passengers to the mouths of the Orontes instead of the mouths of the Nile, and forwarding them across the Turkish territory to Bus sorab, at the head of the Persian Gulf. The railroad required for this purpose would run along the Euphrates Valley, and its length would not exceed 900 miles—barely two-thirds of the extent just executed in the little commonwealth of Massachusetts —whereas its completion would reduce the distance from London to Calcutta by more than one-half—by 20 days, in fact, out of 39! This project, it is conceived, could be accomplished in five years' time, and the route would then lie through Ostend, Trieste, by the Mediterranean Sea, to the Orontes, thence to Bus sorab, and by the Persian Gulf to Bombay, were it would meet the Indian railroads now actually com menced, and by that time completed to Calcutta. We have thus got rid of the Red Sea circuit, and substituted a land route for 900 miles of the distance. There remain now, the straight run from Bussorah to Bombay, and the circuitous reach from Trieste to the Orontes, to be commuted for the facilities of direct railway transit by land. Of these, the latter is the first to be taken in hand, and its diffi culties are the less, as a continuous line of railway from Ostend to Orsova, on the frontiers of the Turk ish empire, is already decided on. From Orsova to Constantinople is only 345 miles; from Constantinople to Bwsorah is about 1,355, of which 900 would be already covered. The distances, in our English eyes are undoubtedly great, but Americans have accom plished greater feats of railroad mechanism in coun tries where the natural obstacles were at least equal to those likely to be encountered in Asia Minor. It is suggested that the line should run round the coast of the Asiatic Peninsula, and an estimate is given that this communication between Constantinople and the Orontes, completing that between the same city and Bussorah, might be established by the year 1860. On that assumption the total mileage of the route would give 4,200 to railways and only 1,600 to steamers, and the journey from London to Calcutta would oc cupy twelve days. Here, perhaps, we might pause, for it is no mean exploit to have brought Calcutta as near as New York, and Beloochistan, we must needs think, would be a strange country for even Irish " navigators." The projector, however, is not yet content, and he al lows five years more for eliminating the Persian Gulf and continuing the railway from Bussorah by " the coast of Persia and Beloochistan" to the old ca pital of the Ameers—Hyderabad on the Indus, whence the several branches of the Indian lines would soon whisk the passenger to Bombay, Lahore, or Calcutta, according to his wants, the latter station being ex actly 5,600 miles, or seven days' journey from the booking-office of the company in Gracechurch-street. This is the scheme. Its accomplishment involves the completion, altogether, of some 5,600 miles of rail way ; but of these some 2,600 are actually decided On, and in course of construction already ; and, if we look to what has been done elsewhere, we may per haps think this Anglo-Saxon prophecy by no means so impossible of fulfilment as it seemed at first. It is a remarkable circumstances that the East Indian lines, which we introduced to notice some four years ago as undertakings in themselves of singular novelty and boldness, should now have become the most natural and practicable portions of a stupendous whole. There is no more doubt about the line across Hindostan than about the line across Hungary, and this fact alone should lead ue to distrust our impres sions of a scheme so strange as that above described. If the Indus Valley and the Nerbudda Valley are now thought so readily passable for locomotives, who is to say that the Euphrates Valley will not wear a lik. aspect whenever our eyes shall have been onceraecperuesss tomed to the work ?

WORCESTER, FRIDAY.—This was the last day of the festival, and although it has undoubtedly not been a successful one, there are grounds for congratulation in several respects ; and if the responsibilities of the stewards should prove to be heavy, thereis a guarantee fund fortunately provided by the liberality and good taste of the public, which will in a great measure re lieve them of their burdens. The last concert of the festival, held in the College ball last night, proved, as was anticipated, the most at tractive, though this may be set down as much to fashion as to the intrinsic merits of the scheme. Be fore proceeding further, however, we should mention that the collection in aid of the charity at the cathe dral yeste:day morning amounted to 165/. Last night the chief attraction (besides fashion) was a selection from Euryanthe, and several songs set down for Madlle. Cruvelli and Herr Formes. At the opening of the concert, however, it was announced that in consequence of sudden illness (said to be English cholera), Herr Formes would not be able to sing, and some extra songs from Madlle. Cruvelli were promised, and given with good will. The matchless overture to Euryanthe was magni ficently performed. Besides the songs set down for her in the programme, Sir Charles Hastings announced that Madlle. Cruvelli would sing the " Ernani invo lami." The whole of the prima donna's songs were given with her characteristic empressement, and dis played the full power and wonderful training of her voice. At the close of the first part, in the place of the terzetto from Fidelio —" Corragio," Mr. H. Bla grove treated the audience to some pleasing passages on the concertina. Introductory to the second part, Beethoven's splendid cverture to Fidelio was played in a masterly manner. Then followed the scene from Der Freis chutz—"Before my eyes beheld him," which was most sweetly interpreted by Miss Birch. The simple, yet beautiful adagio, " Softly sighs the voice of evening," was exquisitely sung ; and the second recitative, " Through the dark blue vault of ether," afforded a rich treat. Miss Williams sang Schubert's pretty se renade, "0 see the moon's silvery light," very taste fully; and Mr. Blagrove's concertina obligato was quite in character. Madlle. Cruvelli and Mr. Sims Reeves were warmly applauded in Verdi's duet (" At tila") " Si, quello io son," as was also the lady in the air " Prendi per me," from the Elisir d' Amore. The concert was brought to a close about half-past eleven o'clock with the national anthem, previous to which it was announced, on behalf of the stewards, that in answer to inquiries it was stated that Herr Formes was better, and that he would be able (as pre viously announced) to sing in the Messiah to-day. The festival (at least as far as regards the musical portion of it) was brought to a close to-day by the performance, at the cathedral, of Handel's Messiah, which is revived as often as these festivals occur, and which appears likely to endure to the end of time. The weather this morning, unfortunately, proved most inauspicions again, a keen wind and heavy storms from the north prevailing. Notwithstanding the unsettled state of the weather, the noble cathedral was well filled, and proved (in point of attendance) to be the best day of the festival. The opening recitative " Comfort ye," and the air " Thou shall break them," were beautifully sung by Mr. S. Reeves. Herr Formes also, who seemed per fectly recovered from his indisposition of last even ing, was grand in " Thus saith the Lord," and in the splendid air "Why do the nations." The air "He shall feed his flock," was most sweetly and delicately sung by Miss Dolby. The air "How beautiful are the feet," was beautifully rendered by Madlle. Cruvelli, and was repeated by desire, and the recita tive " I know that my Redeemer liveth," was also most exquisitely sung by Madame Castellan. The choruses generally were good, particularly that fine composition " All we like sheep." The oratorio alto gether produced its usual impressive effect. The audience retired from the cathedral about half-past three o'clock. The amount collected to•day for the charity was 9.01/. Preparations are actively in progress for a grand ball at the Guildhall to-night, which we hear is likely to be attended by a large and select party. The tickets are fixed at a guinea each. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE Retired ComnTaTiderSaunderson Allen died on the 19:h instant, at Great Wigston, Leicestershire. Com mander Allen was midshipman on board the Polyphe mus in the operations against Buenos Ayres in 1807; and lieutenant of the Caroline at Banda Neira in 1810. Commander Allen was the youngest son of the late Charles Allen, Esq., of Market Harborough. THE BREST NAVAL PUPILS.—The French ships (a steam-vessel and a corvette) which arrived at Deptford yard on Saturday last, with the students of the Naval College of Brest, proceeded to Woolwich yard on Thursday afternoon, preparatory to their return to Brest. During their stay at the former yard every attention was paid them by the captain superintendent and the officers of that establishment, the efficiency of which did not, we undestand, escape their notice. Apollo troop -ship, has been taken into dock at Chat ham, to examine Mr. Peacock's composition, with which the bottom is payed. Calypso, 18. Captain Forbes, was put out of dock at Chatham on Thursday. She is completely rigged, and has all her provisions, water, sea stores, and guns en board, and is expected to sail on the 6th of September. A day or two since a boy belonging to this ship fell from her into the bottom of the dock, and received co much injury that he died in the hospital the same evening. Torch, iron steam-vessel, at Deptford-yard, being prepared for commission, it is supposed, was taken out on Tuesday; and the Diligence, transport, loading with stores for Bermuda, was taken in the following day to have her bottom repaired. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, is appointed to sail to-morrow for the Mediterranean. The Rodney, 92, Captain Graham, C. 8., has got her tops over, and what few hands she has got have com menced rigging her. The Dauntless screw-frigate, Captain Halsted, is ex pected to be some time yet in the ha,nds of the dock yark; it is reported she will not be ready for sea before November.
