LITERATURE. "The dawn of morning was awaited with impati ence . Th e enemy's fleet was then discovered, extending from south west by south, eight leagues distant from Cape St. Vincent; and Sir Juha Jervis communicated to his officers his de tertninatioa to cut through them. His ships were drawn up in two lines in close sailing order; and he bore down upon the Spaniards before they had time to form in regular order of battle. The gallant Sir Thomas Iltoubridge, in the Culloden, was ordered to lead the van. Opening his fire on the Spanish ships to windward, which effectually separated one-third from the main body, he then tacked, and thus pre vented their rejunction. The British admiral readily formed his two lines into one, to complete the intended move ment. As soon as Troubridge had passed through the enemy's fleet, he gave his starboard broadside to the nearest of the ships as he threw in his stays; his example was fol lowed by the van of our fleet, and the action became general. It began about noon. "The Spanish admiral, Don Josef de Cordova, endeavouring to regain that part of his fleet which had been cut off, Com modore Nelson, in the Captain, of seventy-four, which was the rearmost ship, perceiving his design, stood direct towards him, and penetrated into the midst of the enemy. Bravely seconded by Captains Troubridge and Collingwood, he ran his ship between the Spanish flag-ship, the Santissima Trina dada, of 136 guns, and the San Josef, of 112, pouring a tre mendous fire into these gigantic antagonists, right and left. In this manner he continued to engage the San Josef till his ammunition was nearly expended, when his antagonist fell on board the San Nicolas, of 84, which now became the com modore's opponent, and after a vigorous fire, kept up for some time, he gave orders to board. He accompanied the boarding party himself, and, not content with securing one prize, he again headed the assailants in a similar attack on the San Josef, shouting, " Westminster Abbey, or glorious victory!" Nothing could resist such enthusiastic courage; the Spanish colours were hauled down, and the Captain lay an absolute wreck beside her two prizes. " Irt the meantime, Sir John Jervis, in . the Victory, fol lowed by Vice-Admiral Waldegrave in the Barfleur, passed close under the stern of the Salvador del Mundo, which sur rendered after a few broadsides. The Santisima Trivadada wee engaged by many ships in succession, but finally struck • to the Orion, Sir James Saumarez; who, intent on preserving ?the more effective ships, left her to be taken possession of by the next English ship astern; but, as this was not done, she ultimately escaped. " The action lasted till about five o'clock, when the de tached portion of the Spanish fleet rejoined the main body, and thus formed a force greatly superior to the English squadron : but they showed no disposition to renew the tight, and, after a distant cannonade, retteated in the night towards Cadiz. " The trophies of this victory were two ships of 112 guns, and two of 84 and 74. On board these four vesssels alone there were about 250 men killed and ae many wounded, while the total loss of the victors amounted to no more than 73 killed and 227 wounded. Nearly one-third of this num ber belonged to Nelson's ship, the Captain, alone. The thanks of both Houses of Parliament were voted to the con que,rore ; the commander-in-chief was created Earl St. Vincent, Vice-Admirals Thompson and Parker, and Captain Calder, baronets, and Nelson was honoured with the Order of the Bath. The Spanish commander and jmany of his officers, en the contrary, were dismissed from the service with disgrace." Many persons acquainted with separate histories are ignorant of their relative position. In this work we have a concise summary of all contemporary events, so that one coup d'oeil will show us the bearings of the whole. It is written in a clear and animated style, in • terspersed with numerous anecdotes, forming a most interesting addition to modern history. The author has maintained the impartiality of an historian in chro nicling the actions of friend and foe; yet the work bears impress of having been written in the period which it describes. It is hardly possible for " Memoirs of Our Own Times" to be quite so unbiassed and impartial as they will be written by posterity. This volume is em bellished with an engraving of William Pitt, from the painting by Gainsborough, and a vignette illustrative of the assassination of Marat. It contains ample details of the French Revolution, the war in India, the downfal of Poland, and the disturbances and mutinies at home. The following is an account of the disastrous battle when " Freedom shrieked as Kosciuszko fell :''- 4i the r eeluszke ' at the head of a corps of 20,000 men, crossed Vistul a to meet the advanci ng R uss i ans an d to preven t their under onnPrier Repnin, had reached Grodno, taken that city, 60,000 strongjunction with Suwaroff, whose army was now The rest of the ian troos in Poland were under the co mmand of Generals Russ Derfelden p and Fersen, the latter of whom the siege o f W arsa ;" "'erasing from the P russ i ans , w h en was raised, crossed the Vistula and fell back, either foreotvheerptuiripo of uniting with the army of Su waroff, or to 'hordes of the insurgentse Russian frontiers from the roving Kosciuszko, while Suwaroff, encountered F on the 10th of October at Macziejowicze, betweere. capital.

By the Author of the " Court and Times of Frederick tie Great." This is the second volume of a very interesting work, referring to one of the most eventful periods in history. The las t fifty or sixty years have witnessed greater changes than any five or six centuries before them. The discovery of a new continent, an earthquake, or the fall of a great empire, are events of sufficient magnitude to immortalise their .epoch ; but " our own times" have witnessed greater things than these. We have had wars, and conquests, and splendid achievements—we have had patriots and heroes—but it is not in these that our glory consists—it is in the great change that has been effected in the human mind !—not that we have better statesmen, or poets, or legislators, than of old; we have not more great men, but man himself is more great. Our ancestors had men of genius—bright meteors to illu mine the darkness; but we have not the darkness itself. For centuries civilisation has made rapid and unceasing progress; it was a child passing through the various stages of youth, but now we have beheld the glorious change when the child becomes a man—when he casts aside his fetters, and, spurning all control, exults in the conscious power of intelligence, and fears neither diffi culty nor danger. All things are seen in a new light— wondrous achievements that dazzled the fancy are now realities of daily life. Intolerance and oppression, bigotry and prejudice, thriving in the darkness of igno rance, fade away at the approach of reason; the narrow views of the past give way to "The power of thought—the magic of the mind." What would our ancestors have thought of the wonders of the present day—the difficulties of time and space annihilated—the land and water traversed—and the commonest articles produced by a mighty power then undreamt of—the journeys of weeks performed in a few hours, and distant countries within a few days' reach? What would a politician of the last century have thought of a London newspaper? Could he have com pared the Parliamentary reports with his hasty notes taken in secret, and published under feigned names months after their date? It was easy to bring back the costume of a past age to enliven a royal festival,‘but how impossible were it to restore the manners and cus toms of that period Could the strong spirit of inquiry be bound down, and the people, conscious of their power, again yield blind obedience—could those who have enjoyed the privileges of the present day return to the thraldom of the past? Much has yet to be done, but we have only to proceed—the great blow has been struck, and the events of "our own times" have given the impetus to our future greatness. The history of this stirring period is given in the work before us. It con tains a clear and distinct account of the principal occur rences, both at home and abroad, during the last fifty years —a study more beneficial than the history of Greece or Rome, and far more interesting. A great part is devoted to the French Revolution—one of the most violent remedies ever applied to a social disorder. At this distance of time the violence is forgotten; while all must confess the remedy, we may own that it was terrible to overthrow all the barriers imposed by time and custom—to set the laws at defiance—to uproot every long-established landmark. But were these dis tinctions only made by justice ? Were the poor not trampled down, the liberty of all restricted, impediments placed to improvement, and the rights of the many forced to yield to the privileges of the few—the substance to the shadow ? It is true that the peat-up waters burst forth with violence, and madly pursued a devastating course ; but the force of the torrent was occasioned by the obstacles it had surmounted ; it had acquired energy from its long imprisonment ; the waters themselves were pure, and when the storm abated, they flowed in newer and better channels, fertilising the land. The first chap ter of this volume describes the effect produced in Eng land by the French Revolution, the disputes it occasioned in the House, the formation of republican clubs, and the enthusiasm of the people for war. England was the most constant enemy to the revolution, and yet she bene fited most from the example. At first the sympathy of the people was with the French ; they felt for a great nation struggling for its rights, and the cry of "Liberty " found a ready echo in their hearts. Their enthusiasm was checked by the cruel excesses of the French. Too far removed to understand the excitement and passion whiCh alone could palliate such enormities, the peaceful citizens looked on with horror. Then came the dread of foreign invasion to arouse their patriotism, their ancient hatred to the French returned, and they only looked on them as enemies. This volume brings us to the naval engagements in 1797. The following is an account of the battle of St. Vincent:— "Jervis, an officer of distinguished courage, skill, and ex perience, recently appointed commander-in-chief on the Mediterannean station, had, after the evacuation of Corsica, in October, 1796, posted himself with his squadron at the mouth of the Tagus, as it was uncertain whether the prepa rations then making at Brest were destined for a landing in Ireland, or an attack upon Portugal. Early in February, the movements in the port of Cadiz, indicating an intention on the part of the Spaniards to come out very soon, he sailed with the intention of cruizing of the south-east point of Portugal. A fleet of twenty-seven sail of the line and twelve frigates actually put to sea, with the design of steering for Brest, raising the blockade of that harbour, forming a junc tion with the Dutch fleet, and sweeping the English out of the Channel. On the night of the 13th this formidable force was so near to the British squadron, that its signal guns were heard, and the British admiral made the signal to prepare for battle. MURRAY'S HOME AND COLONIAL LI BRARY. No. XXIV. DARWIN'S JOURNAL OF, A, VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD. Pat t This part concludes Mr. Darwin's very interesting "Journal of his Voyage Round the World, in H.M.S. Beagle, during the Years 1832-3-4-5-6." It contains the history of his adventures and discoveries on the coasts of Chili, Peru—in the Galapagos Archipelago—at Otaheite and New Zealand, in Australia—at Keeling Island, the Mauritius, St. Helena, Bahia, and Pernam buco, from which last place the Beagle sailed for Eng land. and arrived at Falmouth on the 2d of October. Mr. Darwin, as our readers are aware, is by profession a naturalist, and his journal is replete with interesting details regarding the botany, zoology, and geology of the various districts he visited. In South America it would appear that his geological researches were occa sionally visited with an eye of suspicion. He says— "My geological examination of the country generally created a good deal of surprise amongst the Chilenos ; it was long before they could be convinced that I was not hunting for mines. This was sometimes troublesome ; I fhund the most ready way of ' explaining my employment, was to ask them how it was that they themselves were not curious con cerning earthquakes and volcanos ?—why some springs were hot and others cold ?—why there were mountains in Chile, and not a hill in La Plata ? These bare questions at once satisfied and silenced the greater number; some, however (like a few in England who are a century behindhandl, thought that all such inquiries were useless and impious ; and that it was quite sufficient that God had thus made the mountains." His account of Galapagos Archipelago is the most minute and elaborate that has ever appeared. These islands, which are ten in number, are situated imme diately under the Equator, and between 500 and 600 zules west of the coast of America. They are all formed of v Acanic rocks ; and Mr. Darwin says—" I scarcely hesitate.' to affirm that there must be in the whole Archi pelago at least 2,000 craters." The climate is far from excessively hOt, and although the lower parts of the islands are stei: l le , 1,000 feet and up ,7athe upper parts, at the height of rdg, possess a damp climate and a luxuriant vegetation. Our author first landed on Chatham Island— " Which, like the others, rises NN:;th a tame and rounded out line, broken here:and there by scatte:7d hillocks, the remains of former craters. Nothing could be less inviting than the first appearance. A broken field of black basaltic lava, thrown into the most rugged waves, and crossed by great fissures, is everywhere covered by stunted, sun .burnt .!.. I rush' wood, which shows little signs of life. The dry and parcii`d surface, being heated by the noon-day sun, gave to the air a close and sultry feeling, like that from a stove : we fancied even that the bushes smelt unpleasantly. Although I di ligently tried to collect as many plants as possible, I suc -1 ceeded in getting very few ; and such wretched-looking little weeds would have better become an arctic than an equatorial Flora. The brushwood appears, from a short distance, as leafless as our trees during winter; and it was some time be fore I discovered that not only almost every plant was now in full leaf, but that the greater number were in flower. The commonest bush is one of the Euphorbiacese : an acacia and a great odd-looking cactus are the only trees which afford any shade. After the season of heavy rains, the islands are said to appear for a time partially green. The volcanic island of Fernando Noronha, placed m many respects under nearly similar conditions, is the only other country where I have seen a vegetation at all like this of the Galapagos islands. " The Beagle sailed round Chatham Island, and anchored in sevaral bays. One night I slept on shore on a part of the island, where black truncated cones were extraordinarily numerous ; from one small eminence I counted sixty ' o them, all surmounted by craters more or less -perfect. The greater number consisted merely of a ring of red scorias or slags, cemented together; and their height above the plain of lava was not more than from fifty to a hundred feet ; none had been very lately active. The entire surface of this part of the island seems to have been permeated, like a sieve, by the subterranean vapours ; here and there the lava, whilst soft, has been blown into great bubbles ; and in other parts, the tops of caverns similarly formed have fallen in, leaving circular pits with steep sides. From the regular form of the many craters, they gave to • the country an artificial appear ance, which vividly reminded me of those parts of Stafford shire, where the great iron• foundries are mostnumerous. The day was glowing hot, and the scrambling over the rough surface and through the intricate thickets, was very fatiguing; but I was well repaid by the strange Cyclopean scene. As I was walking along I met two large tortoises, each of which must have weighed at least two hundred pounds ; one was eating a piece of cactus, and as 1 approached, it stared at me and slowly stalked away ; the other gave a deep hiss, and drew in its head. These huge reptiles, surrounded by the black lava, the leafless shrubs, and large cacti, seemed to my fancy like some antediluvian animals. The few dull-coloured birds cared no more for me than they did for the great tortoises." The Beagle then proceeded to Charles Island, another of the group, upon which, within the last few years, a colony has been established, by persons who have been banished from the Republic of Quito for political offences: " The inhabitants, although complaining of poverty, ob tain, without much trouble, the means of subsistence. In the woods there are many wild pigs and goats ; but the staple article of animal food is supplied by the tortoises. Their numbers have of course been greatly reduced in this island, but the people yet count on two days' hunting giving them food for the rest of the week. It is said that formerly single vessels have taken away as many as seven hundred, and that the ship's company of a frigate some years since brought down in one day two hundred tortoises to the beach." The Galapagos are most interesting, however. to the student of natural history, and, as Mr. Darwin well observes— " The natural history of these islands is eminently curious, and well deserves attention. Most of the organic produc tions are aboriginal creations, found nowhere else; there is even a difference between the inhabitants of the different islands, yet all show a marked relationship with those of America, though separated from that continent by an open space of ocean, between 500 and 600 miles in width. The archipelago is a little world within itself, or rather a satellite attached to America, whence it has derived a few stray colonists, and has received the general character of its indigenous productions. Considering the small size of these islands. we feel the more astonished at the number of their aboriginal beings, and at their confined range. Seeing every height crowned with its crater, and the boundaries of most of the lava-streams still distinct, we are led to believe that within a period, geologically recent, the unbroken ocean was here spread out. Hence, both in space and time, we seem to be brought somewhat near to that great fact—that mystery of mysteries—the first appearance of new beings on this earth." Of the terrestrial mammals, there is but one that can be considered indigenous to these islands, and that is a species of mouse. Of land-birds, Mr. Darwin obtained twenty-six kinds, all peculiar to the group, and found nowhere else, with the exception of one lark-like finch, from North America. But it is the reptiles which give the most striking character to the zoology of these Islands. There is one small lizard belonging to a South American genus, and two species of the Amblyrhynchus, a genus conined to the Gallapagos. There is one species of snake, one or more species of sea-turtle, no toads or frogs, and two or three species of tortoises. These latter are the wonders of the island. The follow ing is Mr. Darwin's description of the appearance and habits of this gigantic reptile : " These animals are found, I believe, on all the islands of the Archipelago ; certainly on the greater number. They frequent in preference the high damp parts, but they like wise live in the lower and arid di s t r i c t s. I have already shown ' - from the numbers whi c h h ave b een caught in a single day, how very numerous they must be. Some grow to an immense size ; Mr. Lawson, an Englishman, and Vice- Governor of the Colony, told us that he had seen several so large, that it required six or eight men to lift them from the ground; and that some had afforded as much as two hun dred pounds of meat. The old males are the largest, the females rarely growing to so great a size ; the male can readily be distinguished from the female by the greater length of its tail. The tortoises which live on those islands where there is no water, or in the lower and arid parts of the others, feed chiefly on the succulent cactus. Those which frequent the higher and damp regions, eat the leaves of various trees, a kind of berry (called guayavita) which is acid and austere, and likewise a pale green filamentous lichen (U . snera plieata), that hangs in tresses from the boughs of the trees. "The tortoise is very fond of water, drinking large quan tities, and wallowing in the mud. The larger islands alone possess springs, and these are always situated towards the central parts, and at a considerable height. The tortoises, therefore, which frequent the lower districts, when thirsty. are obliged to travel from a long distance. Hence broad and well-beaten paths branch off in every direction from the wells down to the sea-coast ; and the Spaniards by following them up, first discovered the watering-places. When I landed at Chatham Island, I could not imagine what animal travelled so methodic:illy along well-chosen tracks. Near the springs it was a curious spectacle to behold many of these huge crea tures, one set eagerly travelling on with outstretched necks, and another set returning, after basing drunk their fill. When the tortoise arrives at the spring, quite regardless of any spectator, he buries his head in the water above his eyes, and greedily swallows great mouthfuls, at the rate of about ten in 'a minute.' The inhabitants say each animal stays three or four days in the neighbourhood of the water, and then returns to the lower country ; but they differed re specting the frequency of these visits. The animal probably regulates them according to the nature of the food on which it has lived. It is, however, certain, that tortoises can sub sist even on those islands, when there is no other water than what falls durin g a feW rainy days in the year. " The torts: if :when purposely moving towards any point, travel by night and day, and arrive at their journey's end much sooner than would be expected. The inhabitants, from observing marked individuals, consider that they travel a distance of about eight miles in two or three days. One large tortoise, which I watched, walked at the rate of sixty yards in ten minutes, that is 360 yards in the hour, or four miles a day,--allowing a little time for it to eat on the road." The flesh of this animal is largely used as food, both fresh and salted, and a fine clear oil is prepared from the fat. The Ambyrhynchus, too, a spec i es o f li zar d , about a yard long, is also used as food by the inhabi tants of Galapagos. The account . of the appear ance and habits of this reptile, which i s peculiar to these islands, is very interesting, but it is too long to extract, and too important to abridge. Of fifteen kinds ie of sea fish procured here all were new specs ; and of ninety species of sea-shells found on these shores no less than forty-Fix are unknown elsewhere. The insects are very few. The botany of the group is as interesting as the zoology. There are 185 species of flowering plants, and of these 100 are new species, and probably confined to the Galapagos. There is another remarkable feature in the natural history of this Archipelago. The different islands are, to a considerable extent, inhabited by a dif ferent set of b e i ngs . Th e t or t o i ses o f t h e differe nt islands differ not only in size but in character, and an islander I N, , 1:11 at once tell from which of the islands a with tortoise and the e th sa e m r e ep d t i a ff e e s r , en an ce d that we have barely our authordetained plants. e a s t a O w ta g h u e e it e e n and New "The :Queen is a largeolviiilward woman, without ) a a r n e ; of exasproest oeordoeyraloalltteriirbouutme beauty, grace, or dignity. a perfect immoveability stances, and that rather a sullen one." He speaks of the New Zealanders as a war:lkeobut dirty race, su i nerior in physi ca l s t rength to the heitans, but inferior to them in intell ec t ua l and in elegance of personal appearance. M r . D arw i n i s inclined to attribute very beneficial results to the labours of the missionaries: in both these islands. He next visited Australia, tb shores of which be says he quitted without sorrow or regret. He then pioceeded to the Keeling or Cocos Islands, situated in the Indian Ocean, about 600 - miles from the coast of Sumatra : "Keeling Island is one of the lagoon islands (or atolls) of coral formation, similar to those in the Low Archipelago which we passed near. When the ship was in the channel at the en trance, Mr. Liesk, an English resident, came off in his boat. The history of the inhabitants of this place, in as few words as possible, is as follows. About nine years ago Mr. Hare brought from the East Indian Archipelago a number of Mala y slaves, which now, including children, amount to more than a hundred. Shortly afterwards, Captain Ross, who had before visited these islands in his merchant ship, arrived from England, bringing with him his family and goods for settlement ; along with him came Mr. Liesk, who had been a mate in his vessel. The Malay slaves soon ran away from the islet on which Mr. Hare was settled, and joined Captain Ross's party. Mr. Hare upon this was ultimately obliged to leave the place. "The Malays are now nominally in a state of freedom, and certainly are so, as far as regards their personal treatment ; but in most other points they are considered as slaves. From tneir discontented state, from their repeated removals from islet to islet, and perhaps also from a little mismanagement, things are not very prosperous. The island has no domes tic quadruped, excepting the pig, and the main vegetable production is the cocoa-nut. The whole prosperity of the place depends on this tree : the only exports being oil from she nut, and the nuts themselves, which are taken to Singa pore and Mauritius, where they are chiefly used, when grated, in making curries. On the cocoa -nut, also, the pigs, which are loaded with fat, almost entirely subsist, as do the duck. and poultry. Even a huge land-crab is furnished by nature with the means to open and feed on this most useful production." This island is a coral formation, and our author de votes some thirty or forty pages to a scientific account of the theory of the formation of coral groups. He re turned to Europe by way of St. llelena and Brazil, having completely circumnavigated the globe in not quite five years. In the retrospect with which he con cludes, of the advantages and disadvantages, the pains and the pleasures, attending a circumnavigation of the globe, he thus speaks of the savage wandering wild in his native woods : " Of individual objects, perhaps nothing is more certain to create astonishment than the first sight in his native haunt of a barbarian,—of man in his lowest and most savage state. One's mind hurricai back over past centuries, and then asks, ^ould our progenitors have been men like these ?—men, w h os 6 very signs and expressions are leas intelligible to us than those of the domesticated animals; men, who do not ct of those animals, nor yet appear to boat possess the itisCt' of human reason t least of arts consequent on that rea son. Ido not believe it is or ? . possible to descrlbo or paint the difference between savage civilized man. It is the 43fr ference between a wild and tanis7 animal : and part of the e which would lead interest in beholding a savage, is the sat,:. every one to desire to see the lion in his dese:. * : the tiger tearing his prey in the jungle, or the rhinoceros wanderi;:: over the wild plains of Africa." Yet for even this deg raded being there is hope:— " From seeing the present state, it is impossible not to look forward with high expectation to the future progress of nearly an entire hemisphere. The march of improvement, consequent on the introduction of Christianity throughout the South Sea, probably stands by itself in the records of his tory. It is the more striking when we remember that only sixty years since, Cooke, whose excellent judgment none will dispute, could foresee no prospect of a change. Yet these changes have now been effected by the philanthropic spirit of the British nation. " In the same quarter of the globe Australia is rising, or indeed may be said to have risen, into a grand centre of civilization, which, at some not very remote period, will rule as empress over the southern hemisphere. It is impossible for an Engiishnian to behold these distant colonies, without a high pride and satisfaction. To hoist the British flag, seems to draw with it, as a certain consequence, wealth, prosperity, and civilization." Let us hope that it may even be thus—that among savage nations the British flag may ever be the herald of wealth, prosperity, and civilization; but, in order that such should continue to be the case the theory of colo nization must be studied as a science, and carried out as a national enterprise, not as a mere official job. THUNDER-STOEM.—ROCIIESTEIt, SEPT. 22.—Yes terday evening, between 6 and 7 o'clock, this neighbourhood was visited by a fearful storm, which furtunately was but of short duration. The vivid flashes of lightning were followed by thunder claps loud and deep, and accompanied by a heavy shower of hail and rain, during which a young man, named Catt, a brickmaker, about twenty years of age, lost his life. He left Strood at 'about the commencement of the storm, on his way to Cuxtone, a village on the bank of the Medway, about three miles above Rochester-bridge, and before he had proceeded one-third of the distance lost his life. The corpse was found early this morning by a labouring man in the em ploy of Mr. William Manclark, near whose farm the melan choly catastrophe occurred. The electric fluid appears to have struck the unfortunate man on his head,"one side of the face being much burnt, his hat and clothes rent open, and his shoes torn into shreds. ItAILWAY WAR.—On Friday last upwards of twenty men were engaged in Barnardcastle by the Directors of the projected York and Carlisle Railway, to be stationed on the various roads and bye-roads in the vicinity, for four teen days, to ascertain the traffic to and from the town. We understand that strict orders have been issued by his Grace the Duke of Cleveland and W. Morrett, Esq., of Roxeby, that the men are by no means to be allowed shelter in the dwelling-houses, nor even in the barns, on their estates. Last week, Mr. Storey, of Auckland, was surveying in the Fatty, near Barnardca.stle, belonging to the Duke, of which the police being apprised they immediately proceeded thither, and ordered him to desist, thus further proving the verity of the paragraph lately going the rounds of the papers, to the effect of his Grace's entire disapproval of a railway on his estates.—Tyne Mercury. EAsT SUFFOLK MILITIA.—Orders were received at Ipswich, on Thursday, from Government, for the staff of the East Suffolk• Militia to hold themselves in readiness to undergo inspection, preparatory to completing their numbers. Similar orders, we believe, have been issued to the staff of the West Suffolk Militia, and to the staffs generally through out the kingdom. It is expected that these orders are pre liminary to the Militia force beim -, embodied and trained in the ensuing spring; but it is not known at present whether the necessary complements of men will be raised by ballot or by beat of drum. The Government will proceed on the most economical but efficient plan; and we understand it is not improbable that the East and West Suffolk Regiments will be consolidated under the command of the Duke of Grafton. —lpswich JournaL DUDLEY.—FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Fri day last an accident occurred at the Waggon Colliery, by which three men were severely injured. It appeared that they had done their day's work, but remained down the pit after the others had gone up for the purpose of working all night. They had, however, only begun to work a short time when a quantity of coal fell upon them. One man was so much injured that he was taken home in a senseless state, and died as soon as he was taken up stairs. His name is Joseph Vanes, and he has left a wife and family. An in quest has been held on the body by William Robinson, Esq., coroner, and a verdict of " Accidental death" returned. The other two men, whose names• we did not ascertain, are not so severely injured, but little hopes are entertained for one of them.— Worcestershire Chronicle. POSI , OPFICES.—It . is to be very much regretted (and a discredit to the patties who are guilty) that it is a practice, almost general, of posting letters and papers at the last extremity in commencing making up the mail-bags. It is also a too common practice of prepaying in cash instead of the stamp, and thereby rendering an additional inconvenience to postmasters. The public have the penny-postage boon, and it is only reasonable and fair that they should not incom mode postmasters, but, on the contrary, assist them in their vastly- increased labours as far as possible. Let those who are thus careless (some, it is to be feared, purposely inconvenience postmasters) only consider if they had to go back to the old postage. The excellent maxim of doing as you would be done unto ought to be acted upon. The better plan for post masters to adopt, in those places where they are inconve nienced by late posting of letters and papers, to represent the fact to the Postmaster-General, and obtain permission to close the letter-box half-an-hour or an hour earlier, and then the careless and Me purposely-inconveniencing parties would be put to the "right-about." DREADFUL COACH ACCIDENT.—In these days when railway accidents are made known t o th e public wall every minute circumstance detail ed, if not heightened, to excite the fears of the timid, and when we daily hear the votaries of the road mourning the departure of the coach and its sporting steeds, as if a golden era had passed away, it is only equitable that the casualties connected with the latter mode of travelling should meet with the same pub licity. Those who yield no credence to statistics may thus have cases in point placed before them, and the railway de tractor may be answered by the impartial audi alter-inn partem. On Friday last, the 19th instant, an accident oc curred to the coach running between Margate and Canter bury. Half a mile from the latter city the horses broke into a headlong speed, and in wheeling round a corner the vehicle was overturned within a yard or two of the Ramsgato coach, which had scarcely sufficient tifne to get out of the way. The outsiders were scatterred around in all directions, the horses fell, and the coach was thrown flat upon its side. Every person was mme or less injured, and although no loss of life ensued, several individuals experienced severe contu sions. One gentleman outside was raised covered - with blood and seriously hurt, and an elderly lady inside was much wounded by the broken glass. The only being that escaped was an infant, who was rescued unharmed. The cause of this accident has not yet transpired, so that we are unable to give further particulars at present. THE SEAS THE SEA !—We have received tidings of the tide, which is making what may be termed a tidy meal of the Cliffs at Cromer. Neptune, if he does not play a tremendous knife and fork, is somewhat formidable with his trident; and when he takes it into his head to gulp down a cliff or two, he sho*S'himself possessed of an awful swallow If his is not the devburing element, it is not far short of it. when he makes up bus mind to a feast; and we are told he has just gulped down twelve acres of cliff at Cromer. He has bolted it stone and all, as a child does a cherry. We have heard it said, that " one swallow does not make a sum mer," but one such swallow as that described is rather a summary proceeding, to say the least of it.— Punch. NORTH UNION RAILWAY.—The negotiations for leasing this line to the Grand Junction Railway Company were brought to a close on Monday last, by the directors of the North Union agreeing to a lease of the line to the Grand Junction, on the terms of 10 per cent. on stock A, and 7 per cent. on stock B. This agreement is, of course, subject to the sanction of the shareholders. On dit, that the Liver . pool , and Bury Railway Company (Bolton, Wigan, and Liverpool), will be amalgamated with the projected Leeds and Liverpool line.—Bolton Free Press. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN.—Mr. Baker resumed and concluded an inquiry yesterday at the Earl Grey Tavern, Mile-end-road, respecting the death of Mr. James Smith, aged sixty-one years. Police -constable 334 K stated that the de ceased was a gentleman of fortune, and resided at Maunders-terrace, Lower Mile-end-road. On Friday night last, whist on duty, wit ness heard a noise similar to a person snoring. He knocked at the door, but received no answer. About a quarter to six on the following morning a man who was going to work on the premises came to witness and said some person was lying in the passage either drunk or very ill. Witness then obtained assistance, and took the - door down from its hingss, when the deceased was discovered with his head hanging down the staircase and his feet against the deq. He was insensible and in a state of paralysis. Mr. William Llewellyn. surgeon. said he was called to see the deeasedon the morning in question ; he was insensible, but witness prescribed for him, and he subsequently rallied and made his will. He became worse on Saturday evening, and died at tour o'clock on Sunday morning from fracture of the cervical vertebra. The deceased stated to witness that he had fallen down stairs about half-past ten on Friday night, which would no doubt account for the accident. The deceased les‘left about 20,0001., to be equally shared amongst his relatives. The coroner, after taking other evidence, re marked on the extraordinary nature of the case ; after which the . . lury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

( From , • r,. ~ The fo:t , win , -.• , •0;;L . ::s2on - 1,.!.:1..te L.t: - .; ,-,u.s: i:atiL,li pidec iX:tts - eatt Lei'd Portman,President of the Royal Agricultural Society, and - Williath rierapath, Esq., the eminent analytical chemist of this city, in reference to seed potatoes for 1846. His Lord ship, in a subsequent letter, requests that the correspondence may be made public, and it has been handed to us by Mr. Herapath for that purpose. The subject is of vital import ance, and is worthy of the deepest consideration : " Bryanston, Sept. 13, 1845. " Sir,—l observe in the newspapers that you have directed your attention to the potato disease, and have advised as to the use of starch, &c. As I o..v.ik specially bound, during this year of my holding the cftlee Or President of the Royal Agricultural Society of iiAi:gland, to promote inquiry and to, notify observations, eA subjects r e l at i ve to the produce of '.ne soil, I trouble you with this letter, and ask if any D'.etbod has..ocourred to you by which the potato may be "preserved for the planting of 1846 ? I have found that P ot .atoes, appa rently sound and free from disease thowli . den which 1:., `as been partially tliwasecr . ..1 a field or gar have, after being stored a‘,7fly, shown sigl ofthe dises .7.Je and rotted off; and I fear that the greatest quantities of potatoes will thus perish, and continue the distress . • of the poor to another season. I have directed some pots to be stored in slaked lime, in the hope that i ii" . . t y preserve them,. but have, of course, yet had no time to, judge of the effect. I, therefore, ask for your opinion ; IS one of our most eminent chemists, upon this point, awl would ask leave to - make known your reply, if you are able to offer an opinion sufficiently explicit to be useful. tl T !J. " I remain your obedient servant, " W. Herapath, Esq." " PORTMAN. " TO LORD PORTMAN, PRESIDENT OF THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. " Brighton, Sept. 17, 1845. "lord,—ln reply to your letter of the 13th inst., I must say that I do not think it would be either safe or pru dent to depend upon the infected potatoes of the present season as seed for the next year; as, in all instances, I have found the diseased parts to extend when the potatoes are kept in a damp situation: I should therefore expect that if any diseased seed was kept so dry as not to rot before setting time, yet, upon being planted, and left in the damp soil, the rotting process would then begin, and the hopes of the husbandman be disappointed. I ha -e no doubt that some potatoes, apparently sound, have (as stated by your Lordship) been found to be affected after stowing away; but I do not consider this to have been an origination of it, but merely that that which was noticed when dug has become apparent after storing. When a potato is first affected the diseased parts are scarcely visible, but upon keeping in a dark place the spots soon become dark, and con sequently more apparent, but the spots do not extend ; if, however, the tuber has been kept in a damp place, the ' spots not only extend rapidly over the surface, but penetrate into the interior, and in a short time it will be completely Totten. As far as the slaked lime, which you have used in your potato stores, has a tendency to prevent the tubers from touching each other, or by its power of absorbing water, of keeping them dry, it will answer a good end; but it must not be expected to have any chemical effect upon the diseased parts of their juices. Anything which, like dry sawdust or sand, would prevent contact, would prevent the propagation from one tuber to another, and any sub stance capable of absorbing the moisture of the air in which the potato is stored, would prevent the extension of the disease in each diseased root. Our best micro scopists and cryptogamists are divided in opinion as to whe ther the cause of the calamity is fungus or not. After all the examination I have given to the subject, and a careful review of all the evidence brought before me on the two sides, I believe that it is . and I am daily confirmed in the opinion originally expressed, that the only advantageous way of treating the diseased potatoes is to obtain from them, by rasping and washing., the starch which they contain— by which . process all their nutriment can be retained • and if it is well dried it w ill k eep for any length Of time. The operations can be performed in the cottage manufactory alike, as no apparatus beyond a tin rasp (a nutmeg grater), a tub, and clean water, are re quired ; and I have ascertained that however far the disea.s e might have extended, even if the root is rotten, yet the starch can be separated, and in a state fit to be eaten, if it, shall be well washed, as all the bad parts come away . wi*:a the water, while the great weight of the starch carries, it to the bottom of the vessel. If it is required that the, fecula should have all the qualities of the best foreigsra arrowroot, it is only necessary to wash it last in orate* containing a little chlorine, when it has unrivalled colour and quality, and this I can speak of practically, having made many tons of the article. I will add, that an opluton has been circula' ed that the disease is owing to the introduction of guano as a manure ; this I feel no hesitation in contradicting, as I have seen it in situations where no guano has been used, and where every variety of manure has been resorted to.—l am your Lord ship's most obedient servant. "WILLIAM HERAPATH.'

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under a nervous dearness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend, to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since.
