Mr. Jowl ELLIS seconded the motion. The proposition was strongly supported by several Hon. Proprie tors, and subsequently carried unanimously. .TESTIMONIAL TO MR. GEORGE HUDSON. --------- Colonel BLAIN then rose to propose a plan for getting up a testi. roonial to Mr. George Hudson, but he was interrupted by The lion. CHAIRMAN, who expressed a wish that the motion should be made in his absence. He accordingly retired, and Mr. John Ellis, the Deputy-Chairman, supplied his place as President. Colonel BLAIN then passed a very warm eulogium upon the talents and exertions of Mr. Hudson, in behalf of the Company, and moved that a subscription be immediately opened for presenting that gen. tleman with a testimonial. Mr. BAXTER reiterated the eulogiuru passed by the Gallant Colonel on Mr. Hudson, but suggested that instead of adopting the Gallant Colonel's motion, the meeting should recommend the Directors of the Company to put themselves in communication with the Boards of the various other Companies over which Mr. Hudson presided, With the view of Lscertaining the best mode of giving him a proper and suitable testimonial. The amendment was unanimously agreed to, and a vote of thanks basing been carried to the Chairman, the meeting, which occupied about two hours, separated. NORTH KENT RAILWAY. On Friday a special meeting of the shareholders in the above Projected Railway Company was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of having submitted to them the report of the Direc tors Sir I. L. Goldsmid was in the chair. Atter a few preliminary observations from the Chairman, The SECRETARY (Mr. Partington) read the report, which stated that the Company intend to prosecute their scheme in the next s ession of Parliament, and that it will embrace a direct line of 4 ilwa7 to Dover, commencing near the Waterloo and Hungerford. bridges, and proceeding by Blackheath, Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Sittiugbourne, and Canterbury, terminating St Dover, and by Sheerness, Faversham Quays, and Chilham, and also uniting by its communications at Canterbury, with the line already authorised to Ramsgate and Margate. To complete this scheme a capital of 3,300,0001. would be provided. It is pro- Posed to divide this into 66,000 shares, of 50/. each, and it is intended that the same shall be issued on a deposit of 21. 10s. Per share, upon the conditions of the forthcoming prospectus, which States that— " It is proposed that the owners of scrip certificates in the ori ginal scheme shall have the option of receiving an equal number of shares in the new projcct upon surrendering their present scrip, and paying 10s. 6d. per share, which, with the amount remaining to be returned upon such scrip, will make up the required deposit of 2!. 10s. per share, and they will thereupon be entitled to a pre ference in ti , e allotment of the remaining shares to the extent of three new shares for every two original shares so exchanged, pay. tog on the additional scrip the deposit of 2!. 10s. pet share, as 'bore mentioned. Any scripholder desirous of retiring will be entitled, on surrendering his present scrip, to have the deposit returned to him less 15s. 6d. per share towards the expenses in curred,. A st .tement of the preliminary expenses was also laid before the meeting, from which it appeared that the law charges, engi. nem', surveyors', dre., costa amounted in gross to 15,9431. 16s. The report was unanimously adopted, and the thanks of the Meeting having been given to the Chairman and Directors for the seal and ability with which they had conducted the affairs of the Compaany, the meeting broke up. ENTERTAINMENT at the MANSION HOUSE TO SIR HENRY POTTINGER. The Lord Mayor gave on Thursday last a splendid enter tainment in commemoration of the recent enrolment of Sir Henry Pottinger amongst the citizens of London. 'I he party, which exceeded fifty in number, consisted of the Right Hon. Sir Henry and Lady Pottinger, the Earl of Auckland (late Governor-General of India), Sir H. Willock, chairman, and M. W. J. Hogg, deputy-chairman of the East India Company ; Major -General Sir James Law Lushington, G.C. B. ; Mr. J. Alasterman, M. P., and Mr. W. H. C. Plowden, East India Directors ; Major-General Pasley, Royal Engineers ; Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P. ; Sir G. Larpent, Bart., chairman, and Mr. S. Gregson, deputy-chairman, of the London India and China Association ; Mr. Wilberforce Bird, late Deputy-Governor of Bengal; Mr. J. Farish, Mr. J. Bax, and Mr. Janes de Vitre, late of the Hon. East India Company's Civil Service; Lieu tenant-Colonel Malcolm, Captain Eastwick, Mr. J. Catley, the chairman; and Mr. W. King, deputy-chairman, of the London Dock Company ; Mr. R. L. Jones, the mover, and 111 x. John Dixon, the seconder, in the Court of Common t'ouncil of the proposition to confer the City freedom on Sir Henry Pottinger ; Dwarkanauth Tagore ; Aldermen Sir C. S. Hunter, Sir Peter Laurie, Sir G. Carroll, Wood, Johnson, Hooper, Sir James Duke, M.P., &c. After due honours were paid to the usual loyal and constitu tional toasts, that of the army and navy having been eloquently responded to by Major-General Pasley, The LORD MAYOR rose to propose the health of Sir Henry Pottinger. His Lordship alluded to the gratification he felt in seeing around him so many gentlemen interested in the increasing commerce between this country and India- They were well aware of the estimation in which the ser vices of the Right Hon. Gentleman were held by his, he might now say, fellow-citizens, and by the whole country.— (Cheers.) After many years' service in India, the Right Hon. Gentleman returned to this country to recruit his shat tered health. Circumstances, however, of peculiar difficulty occurring in another part of the East, requiring the imme diate exertions of a diplomatist of no ordinary skill and ex irience, her Majesty's Government at once called upon tha. *tight Hun. Gentleman, who, though infirm in body, yet strong and vigorous in mind, at once obeyed his country's Summons. And ably and effectually did Sir Henry Pottinger Carry out those measures which finally led to a treaty of peace Sad commerc e with China, affording an opening for amicable Intercourse with that immense country, the extent of the ad vantageous consequences of which no one at the present time Could pretend to foresee.—( Loud cheers. ) Sir HENRY PuTTINGER rose, amidst loud cheers, to return thanks. He assured the Company that none of the rewards (and the rewards had been many) which had been bestowed upon him by his countrymen, were more hig hl y a pp reciated by hi m than that of being enrolled by vote of its corporation a ; 41 5n of London.—(Cheers.) He had always imagined that -.treaty with China would be of the greatest importance to the c ommercial interests of this country, but he felt bound to con fess, that the results which had already been experienced bad by far exceeded his most sanguine expectations. In speaking of the results of the treaty he must be understood to refer to the benefits it conferred upon China, no less than upon his own country.--(Loud cheers.) In negotiating that treaty he felt the importance of a reciprocity of advantages in order to se cure its permanence. He was happy to say that his private letters confirmed the public intelligence that the Chinese them. selves ware already appreciating the benefits of the treaty, and were zealously improving their trade with other nations.— (Cheers.) Respecting the edict issued by the Emperor, per mitting the introduction of the Scriptures into that vast em pire, he took the present occasion ot observing that that per mission was more limited than was at fist imagined, it being in fact restricted to the five ports named in the treaty. He mentioned that fact to show the necessity of the observance of th e most strict caution upon the part of England in availing herself of the opening now for the first time allowed for intro ducing Christianity amongst that people.—(Loud cheers). He begged to assure the company that he felt most deeply the *honour which so splendid and hospitable an acknowledgment of his services as the Lord Mayor hats beets pleased to give that day conferred upon him.—( Cheers.) The Loan MAYOR next proposed the " Health of the Earl of Auckland," and referred to the essential services rendered by his Lordship whilst filling the distinguished office of Go vernor-General of India, in extending education, and placing it upon a permanent basis. Lord AUCKLAND returned thanks in a speech in which he expressed his anxious hope for the permanency of the good un derstanding between India and China, and for the continuance of the prosperity of the British Government in India. The LORD MAYOR said the next toast he should have the honour of proposing would be the " Health ot the Chairman and the Deputy-Chairman of the East India Company, and of those Directors who had honoured him on the present occasion." Sir H. VI , ittocx, the Chairman of the East India Company, In returning thanks, enumerated the various services performed by Sir Henry Pottmger in the service of the Company, and ob served, in allusion to Sir Henry Pottinger, Lord Metcalfe, and Sir John Davis, &c., that it was a source of pride and gratifi cation to the Directors, that the Company's servants were, in consequence of their distinguished talents and eminent services, selected by the Government of the country to fill some of its first appointments.—(Cheers ) The,. , Health of the Chairman of the London, East India, Mid China Asoaciation," having been drank, The LORD MAYOR then introduced to the company the . wealth of his distinguished Orient al visitor Dwarkanauth Tagore. That eminent individual, after having made himself acquainted with the many advantages to be derived through means of the institutions with which England abounded, had arrived, ac companied by several youths whom he had brought with him , 'Or the express purpose of having them instructed in the me dical schools, so as to qualify them for imparting to their coun trymen the vast benefits of medical science. —(Cheers.) DIWARKANAUTII TaGoae expressed himself, in returning thanks, in terms which showed a thorough acquaintance with the English language. He said that there were no fewer than 2 0,000 youths in Calcutta receiving education. He trustsd the Government of this country and the East India Company Would energetically carry out the plans of Lord William Ben tinck and Lord Auckland for the extension and improvement of education. It was by such proceedings they would best Prove themselves the benefactors of India, and secure the e steem and affection of its people. The seed had already been sown, and he trusted that not many years would elapse before its fruits would be extensively visible. Already the school master was abound," through whom prejudice would be tits. Persed, knowledge diffused, and the harmony of all parties be Permanently secured. ( Loud cheers.) Sir H ENRY P O TTINGER proposed the health of the Lord Mayor. t He took. the liberty, in consequence of the position he held as a citizen of London, recently elected, ender such honourable circumstances, to call the attention of the com ?any to the toast of " The Chief Magistrate of the City of aaondon." The toast was drunk with enthusiasm, as was that of " The Lady Slay or ess' " for whom and for himself his Lordship re turned thanks. The evening was spent with the utmost conviviality. DI:PARTURE TIIE GREAT BRITAIN ON HER FIRST TRANSATLANTIC VOYAGE. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. The arrival in the Mersey of the Great Britain steamer—that magnificent and stupendous effort of British skill and British enterprise, will long be a me morable and remarkable event in the commercial history of our port. The welcome she received from countless thousands on her first appearance has only been ex ceeded by the excitement which has not only prevailed here but for a hundred miles round iu the public mind respecting her—an excitement which has continued with undiminished ardour for upwaris of three weeks. Fvery day cheap trains, carrying thtal sands of passengers, have arrived from the towns in Lancashire and Yorkshire, and the steam-boats plying coastwise have also been crowded with persons desirous of beholding the " Great Le viathan," as she has been aptly named. About 40,000 persons have paid Is. each to go on beard the vessel ; but the number who have contented themselves with gaze and wonder at her extension only is incalculable. The Directors have acted with a liberality to be expected from men prompted by a spirit of enterprise sufficient to brave the prejudices and difficulties they must have en countered in their noble undertaking. They have pre sented out of the proceeds received from the exhibition the sum of 100/. to be thus divided amongst the Liver pool charities, wisely confining the distribution to those institutions from which the industrial population receive most immediate advantages : Northern and Southern Hospitals, 251. each ; Sailors' Home, 201. ; Dispen saries, 20/. ; Floating Church and Chapel, 5/. each. We regret to state that the Great Britain carries out but a small complement of passen::ers, although the fares were low, being 20, 22, and 25 guineas. Considering that this may almost be considered an experimental trip, and that great prejudice generally exists in the public tninei against new and only partially tried plans, this is not to be wondered at. We have seen parties gazing in profound astonishment, wonder, and admira tion at the splendid vessel ; but, after their first impres sions have been removed, they have shaken their heads, and given expression to many doubts as to the safety of the object of their won ler. This is not an individual, but a general impression. The minds of the people seem unable to comprehend how so vast a floating machine can be guided with speed and safety across the broad Atlantic. We can only express a fervent hope that these opinions may be as unfounded as those given by the noted Dr. Lardner, who, a few months before the Sirius crossed the Atlantic, stated that it was utterly impossible for any steam-boat to accomplish so great a task. We subjoin a list of passengers :—Col. Ernest, Mr. Pauget, Mr. B. Graham, Mr. 1). Murray, Mr. Billings, Mr. Bowry, Mr. E. K. Kane, Mr. Jeanjequet, Mr. A. M`Lachlan Miss Palin, Mr. S. Crooks, Mr. J. Wood, Mrs. Wood, Mr. H. Wood, Mr. W. Wood, Mr. Robert son and friend, General MiTntire, Mr. Smith, Mr. P. L. Suchard, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Code, Mr. DT, Mr. Tomline Clayton, Mr. B. Reybold, Mr. Trole, hl r. Simonsfield, Mr. F. Bridhar, Mr. J. M•Kewan, Captain W. Morris, and Mr. J. Fryer. She carries about 500 tons of light goods and a large mail. _ _ _ It was announced that the Great Britain would leave the Coburg-dock on Friday afternoon ; but in order, we suppose, to prevent the inconvenience arising from the immense crowds that would, no doubt, have flocked to see her, she left the dock at three o'clock in the morning, and came to anchor in the Hoyne, on the Cheshire side of the river, where she took her coals on board ; and where, also, she continued to be an object of great attraction to the passengers by the ferry steamers. Attracted by the loveliness of the day, and the novelty of the sight, an immense concourse of persons assembled on the pier head to witness her departure this afternoon. It seemed quite a holiday. The rival* was studded with gaily decorated steamers laden with pas sengers, who were to accompany th., greatest of them all as far as the light-ship. At tao o'clock a small steamer took off the mail passengers, the hour far sailing being three. Shortly after that time the Great Britain got under weigh, and the firing of a gun announced that she commenced an outward trip. Her gun was answered by other vessels from the Cheshire side of the ➢Mersey. The river presented a magnificent spectacle at this time. The stately vessel moved slowly down the river amidst the loud huzzas of the spectators and the firing of cannon, and the heartfelt expressed prayers of thousands for her success. _ _ _ She passed the rock in gallant style, sailed through the Victoria Channel, passing Crosby light ship and in ward-bound vessels, the parties on board which saluted her with three cheers. In addition to her passengers, there was a large party on board the Great Britain by invitation. These sailed in her to the lightship, where they left her, and re tumid homewards in a vessel hireit for th- purpos , •. Before taking their leave, however, of the mighty craft, salutes were exchanged by the guns on board the various vessels, a farewell cheer given, and the vessel proceeded in her trackless course aoriss the deep. We wish her, with all our heart—God speed ! COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FRost OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.

The llActm, JULY 23d.—By the commercial treaty concluded in 1844, between the Zollverein and Belgium, it was stipulated that the importation of Belgian iron into the Zolverein might take place, not only by land, but also along the Rhine ; but only in German or Belgian ships. In consequence of representations made by the Netherlands Government, the importation may henceforth take place in ships of the Netherlands. M. Auguste Davez li, Charge d'Affaires of the United States at the Hague, has published a notice respecting the death of Gent r4l Jackson, in which he invites the captains of American ships in the harbour of the Ne therlands, on the day after receiving the notice, to have their flags half mast high, and the consuls, and vice consuls, and all other American citizens in the kingdom to go into mourning as usual on such occasions. On the 18th of this month the dyke for enclosing the western part of the Anna l'aulovna polder, in North Holland, was happily completed, so far as to finish the enclosure. In a few week: the dyke will be heightened and strengthened, so as fully to secure the land that hes been gained. In about 14 weeks, 3,200 acres of laud have bean reeovered from the sea, by means of a dyke 14,000 ells, or 24 leagues in length. The Danish Government has issued the following or dinance " Art. 1. The exclusive privilege which the Danish Asiatic Company has enjoyed since the 21st of March, 1792, and which was renewed on the 21st of March, 1822, having expired, his Majesty declares that from the date of this ordinance the trade to China is free. " Art. 2. The ordinance of the 16th of June, 1797, relating to the trade with the Indies, is revoked. " Art. 3. The trade and navigation with China and India shall henceforth be governed by the ordinances in force relative to the navigation and trade with foreign countries. ~.. RING'S COLLEGE. — ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION OF r ..erzete—On Friday the annual distribution of prizes to t he Mu -erns of King's College took place in the spacious theatre, in the Presence of a numerous assemblage, Sir It. H. Inglis, M.P., in the chair. The prizes consisted of gold and silver medals, beautifully bound books in the Latin, Greek. and English Classics.

The Drawing Room Stakes it is very likely will bring out Kedger, Cowl, Pam, Old England, Wood Pigeon, Refraction or Estelle, 'Worthless and Pantasa ; should the latter come to the post, I shall expect to see him first. If not, Cowl or Old England will most certainly do the trick. _ _ . The 300 Soya. Sweepstakes look well for Colonel An son, with Joe Lovell, the Devil to Pay, or All Round my ILa playing second fiddle. The Gratwicke Stakes will produce a sharp race be tween Pic Nic, the Merry Monarch, and Cowl ; should he not run for the Drawing Room Stakes, in my opinion he will be reserved for this Stake, and if he is, most pro bably will win it, Merry Monarch being second, and Pic Nic third. The Ham Stakes are destined beyond a doubt for tl e Princess Alice, with West Countryman and the Estehe colt well up. The Lavant Stakes will have a field of about eight, including Sting, Cherokee, Griniston, Faii Helen, Cam baub s, ar.d Collingwood, (latter doubtful) ; some of these are " dark," and I shall not be surprised to see a " dark one " the winner—this will be the tightest race run at Goodwood this meeting. I shall look to Dawson with Grimston, or Forth with Sting for the winner, Cherokee being close up at the finish. A Sweepshkes of 300 sous. looks very like a walk over for Jenghiz Khan. The Goodwood Club Stakes will probably leave Quebec or Croton Oil for winner, distance suiting both. The Welter Stakes to Lord G. Bentinck, with Naworth, Wolfdog second. 'The Match between Antler and Red Deer will be won by the latter. The Innkeepers' Plate, I think, will be won by The Wheel. _ . . On Wednesday, the Goodwood Stakes will, doubtless, bring to the post a larger field, probably eighteen, which I fancy will be the following, viz. :—Queen Mab, John o'Gaunt, Aristides, Una, Venus, Nottingham, Light ning, Pineapple, Ajax, Milton, Rowena, Libel, Wee Pet, Vates, Boarding School Miss, Pythia, lEgis, What, and with perhaps Warp and one or two more. Pythia, The Libel, Miss Elis, o'Cockpen, Glossy, Britannia, Rochester and Nottingham will have had enough lone before they reach the run in. John o'Gaunt will rut" well. Una will not be far behind the winner. Wee Pet and Ward will not get nearer than the rear of the front rank. Europa may be a very good plater, but she must be something more to do any good here. Agis and Ajax will both find the pace too good for them. Rowena and Lightning, Dawson's starters, I do not consider to be quite up to the mark, notwithstanding I expect to see them figure in the front. Queen Mab has too much weight upon her, but yet she might just manage to pull through. Should Aristides be in good temper he will prove himself a most dangerous compe titor. Venus being in capital condition, and the distance just suiting her, will no doubt be one of the first four. Boarding School Miss will not pull through such a dis tance as this race is for ; she would be sure to win, were it for the Ditch Mile at Newmarket, instead of the Cup Course at Goodwood. Now, to sum up, I shall be pre pared to see the winner spring out of the follow ing nine: —Queen Mab, John o'Gaunt, Aristides, Una, Venus, Lightning, Rowena, Vates, and Warp, and will venture to predict that Aristides or Venus will be the winner of the Goodwood Stakes this year, with Lightning and Yates close up. On Thursday the Goodwood Cup will bring out a large field, including, among others, Valerian, Drummer, My Old Hack, Mid Lothian, Example, St. Lawrence, and the Cure. Out of such a field and at such heavy weights it is not the easiest task imaginable to pick out the winner. Rowena, if she runs, will stand a very good chance. Valerian will have had enough by the time he has gone a mile and a half. St. Lawrence has too much weight on him, yet his chance is not quite out. Game cock will show that he is anything but game on Thurs day next. Refraction cannot go the distance ; the same can be said of Stomacher and Miss Elis. The T'Auld mare would have a tolerably good chance, notwithstand• ing the great weight of 9st. 101 b. she has to carry, wen. she to start. Mid Lothian can go the pace and stay the distance, but his starting is very doubtful. Drummer and My Old Hack will run well. In conclusion, I fancy My Old Hack, Mid Lothian, and Drummer will furnish the winner. The 200 sovs. Sweepstakes for twa year olds, will go to Lord G. Bentinck with the Princess Alice. Wilder ness second. The Racing Stakes to Lord G. Bentinck; Pam being second. The 200 sovs. Stakes to Sombrero. Arkwright second. The 23 sovs. Stakes to the Estelle colt or Camera Obscura. The 100 sovs. Stakes to the Llird o' Cockpen. Night cap second. The 50 sovs. Stakes fur three year olds to Lord G. Bentinck. The Molecomb Stakes to Sting or Grimston. Witsend well up. The Anglesey Stakes to Naworth or Quebec. The Wheal and Croton Oil well up. On Friday, the day for the amateurs, the sport will commence with the Nassau Stakes, whi,h Refraction will win, Longitude or Queen Pumare second. The Chesterfield Cup to Lothario, Ajax, or Wine sour, with a slight preference for the former. The match between Lady Anna and Lady Trampoline will be won by the former. The Maidstone Stakes to Lord G. Bentinck or the Duke of Richmond. With this race closes the first race meeting in the universe.—l am, Sir, &c., Saturday. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. TIIE EFFECTS OF THE LATE DUKE OF SUSSEX.- On Thursday the sale of the residue of the effects of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was commenced by Messrs. Christie and Manson, at their rooms in King-street, St. James's. The co lection consists of jewellery, trinkets, and articles of vertu, minia tures, enamels, engravings, drawings, gems, &c. Many of the lots, of which there are nearly 500, were curious and valuable. Among the lots sold on Thursday the following were deserving of notice:—The Knights Templars' state sword and belt, with extra crimson velvet scabbard and shield-belt, worn by the late Duke as grand prior of the order, the hilt, buckles, and mountings being of massive gold, most beautifully chased, was bought by Messrs. Town and Emanuel, of Bond. street, for 1351. A pair of very massive chased gold spurs, modelled after au original Templar's spur, was sold for 52/. A curious rosary of cornelian beads, gold mounted, fetched five guineas. A mahogany case, containing a set of pipes and tobacco canisters, said to have belonged to Lord Byron, sold for 21. 7s. The Oxford Bible of 1828, in a richly embossed silver outer binding, sold for 71. 12s. 6d. Another similarly bound Bible fetched 91, A beautiful little model of one of the wild cattle in Chillingham Park was bought by Sir A. Clifton for 4/. A bust of Dr. Parr, in marble, by Clarke, fetched 71. 10s, ; and a small bust of Win. IV., in wax, was bought by Colonel Fox for 3/. 55. A pair of curious candlesticks, in ormolu, with figures and flowers in Dresden porcelain, sold for ten guineas. A handsome tea caddy, richly inlaid with bold, containing two cut glass caddies, mounted with silver gilt, fetched 19 guineas. The day's sale rea lized between 4001. and had, Among the articles for sale this day are a quantity of rare perfumes, silks, velvets, the robes of the Orders of the Bath, the Thistle, ecr: KNIGHT S WEEKLY FOL,VME. Nos. 54, 55, and 56. It is now little more than twelve months since Mr. Knight commenced the publication of his Weekly Volume, and every pledge that he gave at the com mencement of his undertaking he has amply redeemed. For a shilling a week lie has supplied weekly a volume of permanent literary value which, for variety, we venture to assert that in no series of publications can there be found, within the same compass, such a variety of matter at once instructive and entertaining. Of the volumes at present under notice, No. 54 is the first volume of the Cabinet Portrait Gallery of British Wcrthies, and - containing portraits and lives of Henry 11., Roger Bacon, Edward 111., Wicklif, Chaucer, and 'William of Wykeham. The life of Roger Bacon displays great research, and from an ex tract given from his Opus Magus, it is evident that he was not only centuries in advance of his own time, but even in some respects in advance of the present. The following is the extract to which we allude : " Mot students have no worthy exercise for their headß, and therefore languish and stupefy upon bad translations, which lose them both time and money. Appearances alone rule them, and they care not what they know, but what they are thought to know by a senseless multitude. There are f,iurprincipal stumbling blocks in the way of arriving at knowledge—authority, habit, appearances as they present themselves to the vulgar eye, and concealment of ignorance combined with ostentation of knowledge. Even if the first three could begot over by some great effort of reason, the fourth, remains ready. Men presume to teach before they have learnt, and fill into so many errors, that the idle think themselves happy in comparison ; and hence._ both in science and in common lire we see a thousand falsehoods for one truth. And this being the case, we must not stick to what we hear and read, but must examine most strictly the opinions of our ancestors, that we may add what is lacking, and correct what is erroneous, but with all modesty and allowance. We must, with all our strength, prefer reason to custom, and the opinions of the wise and good to the perceptions of the vulgar ; and we must not use the triple argument ; that is to say, this has been laid down, this has been usual, this has been common, therefore it is to be held by. For the very opposite conclusion does much better follow from the premises. And though the whole world be possessed oy these causes of error, let us freely hear opinions con trary to established usage." This is the germ of the philosophy of Bacon's more celebrated namesake, and reads like a passage from the " Novvm Organum." No. 55, is the first volume of a reprint of Mr. Jameson's " Lives of the early Italian Painters," and is profusely illustrated with woodcuts; and No. 56 is an admirable critical account of Racine, and the French Classical drama, by Madame Blaize Berry. It is a work that every student of French literature should read attentively; and that every dramatic artist should study. It is the only English work we have ever met with in which acting is treated of as one of the fine arts. EXTRAORDINARY WILL CASE. One of the most prolonged arguments with respect to the IN 111 of a deceased wealthy baronet, has been in pro gi ess the greater part of the past week. Sir H. Jenner Fast has already heard three civilians out of six engaged in the suit. The deceased was Sir G. R. De Apreece, Bart., and though most wealthy, it appears that he livHl in a style infinitely inferior to the position in which such wealth placed him. He had large landed pro perty in Essex, in Hampshire, and other counties. his freehold property is worth from 180,0001. to 190,00 U, and he left a personal estate of something short of 25,0001. From the pleas it appears that the baronet from his youth up was exceedingly eccentric. The will in dispute, and which is opposed by a sister (Mrs. Peacock) was executed at a fishmonger's shop in the neighbourhood of Fleet-street, the parties who were witnesses to it being entire strangers. The document, it is true, was duly attested, but it gave the property, real and personal, to St. George's Hospital, excepting two legacies to the executors. The rental of the estates amounted to 7,800/. In bar of the validity of the will in sanity is alleged. The number of witnesses examined, and documentary evidence brought forward, is unyr.- ralleled, not less than seventy-four witnesses having been produced and examined upon one plea. Dr. Philli more took two days in reading and commenting upon the exhibits.—Dr. Jenner, who followed, also occupied two days with his argument in support of the paper.—Her Majesty's Advocate (Sir John Dodson) took a day and three quarters in opposition to the paper, and as Dr. Addams, who follows on the same side, desired not to have his speech split in half, the Learned Judge having intimated his intention not to sit again until the caveat day, the arguments have necessarily been postponed. If reliance is to be placed upon the immense mass of letters which have been brought forward in support of the will, unquestionably St. George's Hospital will reap a rich harvest by the distribution. But the deceased ba ronet, it appears, for years, contemplated self-destruction, and ultimately died by his own hand. He had carefully collated for years what he called a " Fact Book," in which were pasted all the accounts of murders, suicides, and dreadful accidents. From the proof that mono mania upon such subjects existed in the testator's mind, the sister of the deceased has proceeded to oppose the will. At the time of his death, Sir G. 11. De Apreece was fifty-one years of age, the will being executed some years before. Among the arguments brought forward to prove insanity were, a constant fluctuation of intension, a degree of wilfulness in character and irritable temperament, wholly inconsistent with what may be considered a sound state of mind, ec centricities the most remarkable, and incoherency of conduct. Take, for instance, his fury at meals, swearing at the cook and the servants for viands prepared for him and subsequently eating them. On one occasion he threw a hare on the fire, took it off again, forced the leg down the servant's b ick, saying it was a mouse. A vast variety of similar eccentricities were brought forward. But on the other side, the documentary evidence is pro duced to show capacity. The brother of the deceased married to the widow of Sir Humphrey Davy, and from various communications produced sanity is sought to be proved. It will be perceived by this brief outline of the case that the family of the testator is entirely deprived of all interest in this immense property, and which is left, with the exceptions named, to a hos pital with which he was very little acquainted. Dr. Ad dams, it is expected, will occupy three or four day‘ counsel for the next of kin, and then Dr. Hai (nig will follow on the same side. This will be one of the most strongly contested will causes ever brought forward in the Prerogative Court. That it will be appealed against, which ever way the Learned Judge decides, is pretty certain. It will afl'ird nearly as rich a harvest for the legal profession as that gleaned out of the estate of Mr. J. Wood, the banker of Gloucester. Sir George Murray, Master- General of the Ord nance, has, we understand, appointed Mr. Thomas Clarke, of the firm of Clarke, Fynmore, and Fladgate, to the office of solicitor to that department, in the room of Mr. Ilignett, whose name the recent ,disclosures respecting the South-Eastern Railway must have made very familiar to our readers.— Observer. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On Friday evening, be• tween the hours of five and six, the inhabitants of Bethnal, green-road, near the Salmon and Pall, were thrown into a state of the greatest alarm, in consequence of the occurrence of the following frightful accident :—At the time stated above, two drays, belonging to Messrs. Whitbreads, the brewers of Chiswell-street, were returning along the Bethnal-green-road, the drayman, a steady person, of the name of James Kirby, having hold of the reins of the fore horse, and an acquaintance of his, a man named David Roberts, walking at the side of another horse, when all of a sudden one of the trains pPssi'd along the Eastern Counties Railway, and, frightenirg the horses, caused them to set off in a full gallop. Both Kirby and Roberts were knocked down by the dray, the head of the latter being caught by the wheels, and he was instantly ren dered senseless, and the other poor fellow had his thigh broken, and was otherwise severely injured. The horses, unrestrained, continued to dash along most fu-iously, until stopped by some of the passers-by. A lad, in endeavouring to get out of the way, was knocked down with great violence, but fortunately escaped uninjured. The two men were quickly removed to the London Hospital, and very favourable hopes are entertained of Kirby's recovery ; but upon inquiry being made, at nine o'clock last night, at the hospital, as to the state of Roberts, it was almost impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive. SMUGGLING.—A seizure having been made on board a vessel recently arrived in the port of London from Jersey and Guernsey, of a large number of paper parcels of cigars and cheroots, which had been ingeniously concealed within a tin casing around the interior of some empty barrels, portions of' which had been hollowed out to admit the packages within the casing, as well as to take off the additional weight of the same ; the Commissioners of Customs have given directions to the revenue officers at all the ports of the United Kingdom to be apprised thereof, and to be enjoined to use their best endeavours to detect and prevent any smuggling which may be attempted by similar means, taking care to acquaint the Board with any mater that may arise fit for their cognizance. The goods in the instance alluded to were concealed in a very ingenious and secret manner, and nothing but a certain amount of information in the matter furnished to, or a very great degree of acute ness and application on the part of, the revenue officers, could have possibly caused the discovery. FATAL RESULTS OF INTOXICATION.—On Friday forenoon Mr. Wakley, AL P., held an inquest at the Prince George of Cumberland, Frederick-street, Portland -town, on the body of Mary Smith, aged 43, widow of a colour sergeant, and about to be married to a man named Hodder, a butler, out of place. It appeared that both parties, particularly the latter, were addicted to habits of intoxication. They went out together on Wednesday last, and as they were returning home in the evening, deceased by some means not accounted for by any witness, fell over the railings of the Macelefield-bridge near the north gate of the Regent's-park. She fell a distance of twenty-six feet, fatally injured her spine, and died in about two hours. Her intended husband was so drunk, that though he was with deceased, he could give no explanation as to how she got over the bridge. The coroner said he was of i opinion, though the evidence did not justify it, that deceased, rcaiert , d desperate by the prospect of being married to ar edrunkard,wherself and being also excited by liquor at the tim e, th be the over the bridge. An open verdict , imweveru's would hand, a onionssafest. A juror said the deceased's former absconded from his regiment to go in qu est ‘ ho had sergeant, had been reduced to the her, fory husband, absenting a I V from him, and that in consequence he died last November in art. erdict, " Died Winchester barracks of a broken heart. from a fall, but how the fall was caused there was no evidence to prove." SEVEN PERSONS POISONED.—A Correspondent at Lutterworth informs us, that on Thursday afternoon, at Shawell, a village in the ne ighbourhood, Mrs. Gilbert, four of her children, and two servants were poisoned by eating a fruit pudding. Sur geons from Lutterworth were sent for, who found two of the parties in a dangerous state, but the rest are likely to recover, By what means the poison go onto the pudding was not known. A FRENCHMAN'S FATE. — During this month there have been more prosecutions against the press in France, more convictions, and, of course, more imprisonments and fines. The invention of this new way of celebrating the 4, rjtes of July" bel ongs exc l us i vely to Louis Philippe, and as the merit of the thing is decidedly his, we hope no other country will show a mean jealeugy by imitating it. Let us leave the Freach to their own way of enjoying themselves. Punch. .. ~ _.rr.M.e (~~~~ SURE Rithk (From the ManeTL'. , :t2r Guardian.) During the present fine summer weather the cheap trains for pleasure trips on the various railways having termini in Manchester have greatly increased, and we are glad to find that the Liverpool and Manchester Rail way Company, the last in the field, have already begun to discover how much may be gaiped by concessions to the growing spirit of the times. The junction of the Leeds and Liverpool lines has enabled the good folks of Yorkshire to enjoy many a delightful pleasure trip to Manchester and Liverpool. One or two recent instances may be noted. On Saturday last there were cheap trains from Hali fax, via Manchester, to Liverpool, and back to Halifax the same evening. The trains consisted of all three classes of .carriages, and the fares, we believe, were re spectively 7s. 6d., se. 6d., and 3s. 6d., from Halifax to Liverpool and back. There were upwards of 900 passen gers by these trains, which started at en early hour in the morning, and returned in the evening, givinz the Yorkshire people Several hours to see the Great Britain, and the other lions of Liverpool. On Monday there were similar cheap trains, at the same rate of fares, from Elland to Liverpool and back. There were two trains, which conveyed, in thirty-seven carriages, no fewer than 1,300 p ersons f rom Ell an d an d the neighbourhood to Liverpool, returning to Elland tins same evening. The distance from Elland to Liverpool is about 62 miles, so that for 3s, 6d. many hundreds en joyed a railway trip of 124 mites, besides the sight seeing in Liverpool, sailing on the river, &a. On Saturday and Sunday the usual cheap trains from Manchester to Liverpool and b :ck were more crowded than usual. On Saturday between 2,000 and 3,000 persons went by these trains--the fare in the open waggons with seats being two shillings and sixpence to Edgehill (Liverpool) and back ; and on Sunday there were no fewer than 4,081 persons left Manchester fur Liverpool, to return by the cheap trains of Sunday even ing or Monday morning. It is said that on a mo derate computation there could not be fewer than 7,000 stranvers in Live' pool during Saturday and Sunday last, ail brought by the cheap trains. The Liverpool Times states that :—" On Sunday, cheap trains brought hither from Manchester about 7,000 persons, who perambu lated the town in crowds, and took excursions to Cheshire, the Rocklight, the floating-light, &c. The extreme beauty of the day also brought out an immense number of the inhabitants of the town in search of fresh a'r, end the consequence was, that the steamers on the river were from morning to night crowded to excess." The Manchester and Birmingham Railway having only at present the large towns of Manchester and Stockport upon the line, does not offer such varied at tractions to large populous communities; but we believe that during Sunday no fewer than 2,000 persons visittd AlderleY Edge f;.om Manchester and Stockport. ;On Monday two cheap trains arrived at Liverpool, from Bristol, one having thirty-one carriages, and the other eighteen. This is a striking instance of the extension of these cheap trips, and we can well understand the curiosity of the Bristohans to see a port which has far surp,.yaslA their own in the race of success and prosperity, thengh Bristel tong held the position of the second part in the United Kineelam. We do not find any account of this arrival from the port of the West of England ia the Livtri_:ool papers, and have not heard the numbers, bat - For:v-nine carriages would contain more than 2,000 persons. We have not heard of any ch-ap trips by the Sheffield and Manchester Railway; but it trn , :t t.e remembered that that line is not yet opeatal ca.e:*cal', and that the company have to engaga coaches for cli-tance of 31 miles. When the tunnel is complete:;, shall 'doubt less have a visit from the Skevvield grinders, and our Manchester artisans and others would find much to in terest them in the romantic scenery along the line and in the town of Sheffield. There have been some cheap trips to Fleetwood, &e.; but from some cause or other they do not obtain any very large share of the public favour. It is now clear that railway companies generally are finding their account in the providing increased facili ties for cheap trips to the large mass of the people. We rejoice in this extension of cheap travelling, as a great moral agent. Those who go from home and see new scenes of town and country, have an interest excited in what lies beyond their daily view; their minds are enlarged; they read of what they have seen ; they acquire a relish for this new pleasure ; they become sober and economical, that they may the oftener enjoy this purer source of excitement and recreation; they become more domestic in their enjoyments, as new scenes are doubly delightful in the company of those we love ; while the dram-shop and beer-h( uie are sought chiefly forselfish and exclusive gratification,few men,ho iv ever besotted themselves, desiring to have the company of their wives and children there. In all these various respects, too, the cheap trip enjoyment is promoting the improved sanitary condition of its partakers ; for sobriety, more food and of better quality, more and purer air, more bracing exercise, and the more healthy tone of mind, which result from the desire of this weekly enjoyment ; influencing all the arrangements and expenditure of a family, ere the natural sanitary consequences of this desirable change in the habits of the working classes in, such towns as Manchester. Since the above was written. we sac that on and after Sunday next the fares to Liverpool (Edgehill) and back, by the Sunday waren trains, are to be raised to 4s. each, while the fire by the trains leaving Manchester on Saturday ai'ternoons and returning the same evenin;, or on Monday 'mining, is to continue 2s. 6d. It is clear that the company's ob ject is to discourage Su ►day tray.-11ing ; and, with the view of providing for the pressure on the Saturday and Monday trains, an additional waggon train is to be dispatched from Manchester at seven on Saturday even ing, returning from Edgehill station, Liverpool, at seven, on Monday morning. Parties may therefore go to Li verpool by the cheap trans on Saturdays, at three p.m. or seven P.m , and return on Mondays at seven a.m. or nine a.m. HERRING TRADE. The John 0' Groat's Journal reports a continued successful prosecution of the fishing at Wick. On Thursday 500 boats were out, and the average take was five crans each. A gene ral beginning has not yet been made. Highlandmeri, for Ole purpose of hiring, are arriving in scores, and meeting with pretty fair engagement;-4/. to 4/. 10s., with rations, for eight weeks, has been about the rule. For good bands as high as Si. to 5/. ss. have been given. At the annual let of the herring curing s-atio is the' e was an increase on the rental of about 65 per cent. A few days sinip a ii.an ber of Dutch fishing vessels arrived in Wick bay. Upwards of 70 were within sight at one time. They 11.41 previously been very fortunate in the fishing. Most of the curers at Wick preferred curing their fish, &though they were freely bought fresh by the English vessels at 17s. and 18s. per craw. A small quanuity of cured fish Las been sold at IBs., a few days in salt, and the last contracts cut-red i .to were at 18s. 3d. At Reawick, in Zetland, the fishing has been very successful, the boats of Messrs. Garrick and Co., eight in number, aver aging 70 crans. HELMSUALE, JULY 21, 18-15.—Our fishermen were pretty successful last week, considering it. is still early. On Tuesday there were 60 boats out, averaging 7 trans; Wednesday, 130 boats, averaging 3 cram; Thursdary, 170 boats, average same; Friday, 200, average same ; Saturday, 220 boats, average lf crans.

ISLAND or Rum —We understand that the Mar pis of Salisbury has purchased this island for the sum of 24,000 i., to form a shooting ground or deer forest, for which it us well adapted. In former times Rum was one vast forest, and it is still designated in the Gaelic language " the king dom of the wild fcrest." The island is about eight miles long and seven broad. In consequence of two great emigrations of the people in 1826 and 1828, the population was reduced from 400 to 100 or 130. The island is, we believe, held under tack from Maclean of Coll, by Dr. Maclean, who has built an ex cellent house, offices, &c., besides effecting several rural im provements.—lnverness Courier.
