Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its application and innosious in itself. The high price at which it has hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifying agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W. Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price. It is sold by all Chexists and Shippine Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels at Cs. per Gallon. Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution and use. Conce,trated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with 200 times its quantity of water.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of JAMES MORISON, the Uygeist, with the reasons that led him to the discovery of the Hygeian System of Medicine and the Vegetable Universal Medicine (Morison's Pills), after thirty-five years of inexpressible suffering under the medical faculty :—" James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Mori son, Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great afflu ence and respectability, and the subject of this brief sketch was the second brother of John Morison, late member for Banffshire. In early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and after wards at Ilanau, in Germany, being intende'l for the mercan tile profess'on. After finishing his studies, he -resided at Riga, as frisenerchant, and :illy equently in the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West India property. Having suffered much from ill health, he was obliged to leave that country ai.d pro ceed to Europe, se%king from change of clime a restoration to health. n% e cannot do better than describe the following interesting particulars given by himself in the Morisoniana :—" A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event too. which falls but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of this world eight years ago, I should have died as another man, and been forgotten, and the world could have reaped no benefit frrun my case and misfortunes nor from the favourable effects produced by the same n - eans on my children.

HARRINGTON PARKER, Beer-merchant, 5%, Pall-mall. LORD CAMPBELL AND HIS IRISH TENANTRY. The Lord Chief Justice of England, who has been for the last week visiting his extensive estates in the west of Ireland, fixed on Monday last for the purpose of en tertaining his numerous tenantry at Moycullen, a place picturesquely situated near the shores of Loch Corrib, about seven miles from Galway. The occasion,was a highly interesting one for the general effect of the scene, but was still more so for the sentiments to which his lordship gave expression in addressing the numerous as semblage, and for the effect which those sentiments are likely to produce on public opinion in Ireland. The dinner was given in the National School-rooms, where several hundreds of the peasantry were entertained with an abundance of excellent and substantial fare, and at the principal table, besides Lord Campbell, who pre sided, sat Hon. Miss Campbell, Hon. Dudley Camp bell, Campbell, Esq., Rev. Francis Kenny, P.P., Thomas H. Barton, Esq., J. Kinkaid, Esq., George Booker, Esq., J. F. Blake, Esq., &c. Lord Campbell having proposed the toasts of " The Queen" and "The Lord Lieutenant," which were duly honoured, his lordship's own health was then proposed by the Rev. Mr. Kenny, the parish priest. The noble host, whose rising was the signal for re newed and very enthusiastic demonstrations of applause, in responding to the toast, said—l should indeed be unworthy of the praises bestowed on me by your reve rend pastor if I were not deeply touched by the kind ness with which you hailed the mention of my name. The sentiments that your excellent clergyman gave ex pression to are worthy of the Christian pastor. (Cheers.) They breathe good will to men, and teach us to live in harmony and happiness. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I shall be delighted at all times to co-operate with my reverend friend in everything that can contribute to your im provement and welfare. (Loud cheers.) He has said —and said truly--that it was with much reluctance that I became an Irish proprietor, and, indeed, it was a very unexpected event in my life, but I hope that event may lead to happiness on your part and upon mine. (Hear and cheers.) I must confess that my connection With you has not led to any pecuniary advantage, but to a very heavy pecuniary loss, but I impute no blame to you. (Hear.) You have been struggling with the . . dispensations of Divine Providence. First came famine, then pestilence, and it became impossible for you to pay your rents as you were accustomed to do ; and I am sorry to say, gentlemen, that well-intended but unwise le . ._.. gislation,_ added to your calamities. (Hear, hear.) There were measures which Government thought might be ad- vantageous, but which proved disastrous, such as the Labour Rate Act, upon which millions were squandered without.affording relief, and to the permanent detriment of Ireland. Then, gentlemen, the poor law, although charitably intended, was not very considerately worked out, and, in consequence, wreck followed upon wreck. Landlords were involved in embarrassments. They bor rowed money, and then came in fatal succession mort gages and receivers, until the unfortunate tenants knew not who was their landlord, or whom they should pay. One said, "I am the mortgagee, pay me." Another said, " I am the representative of the Court of Chan cery ; you must pay me." Then came the collector of the poor rate, or the collector of the labour rate, and _ _ threatened a distress, and the unfortunate tenant knew not where to turn for relief and assistance ; so that un der those circumstances I am not surprised that he should come to the determination of paying nobody at all. But the truth is, the tenants were terrified, because they knew not whom they should pay; they were almost afraid to have a pig in their cottage lest it should be dis trained by the collector of poor rates or county cess. But I trust those bad times have passed away. You now know who your landlord is ; you know jour obli gations ; you know how much you have to pay, and to whom, and that when you have paid the rent you con tracted to pay, that all the rest is your own. (Cheers.) I trust that what your truly Christian pastor said will not be forgotton, and that you will enjoy the fruits of your own honest industry. Ido not wish to make large promises, for I well know how little I can do to fulfil your wishes and mine ; but I can unaffectedly and ear nestly declare, that justice shall be done, and that your comfort and happiness will be ever near my heart. Gentlemen, I cannot express how delighted I felt at the reception I met to-day. I believe that three score of my tenantry, mounted on horseback, came out to meet me three miles from Moycullen. I rejoice. sincerely rejoice, that your character deserves the high eulogy passed upon it by your reverend pastor. (Loud cheers.) Though I think many advantages might arise by the holdings being larger than they are at present, I will never endeavour to bring about such a state of things by evictions or any harsh measures whatsoever. (Applause.) I believe where emigration is voluntary— where it is spontaneous—where, perhaps, the emigrants seek to rejoin their beloved relatives, and to ameliorate their condition—l believe under such circumstances it may be for their advantage, and for the advantage of those who remain behind, because their departure leads to an enhanced demand for labour, and employment becomes more fixed and constant. I believe in such cases that it would be an advantageous change to the tenant, instead of holding a miserable patch of land on which he bestows his labour for a few weeks, and in winter becomes destitute, to go where he will be a well employed labourer, and receive his 2s. or 2s. 6d. a day, and would be enabled to maintain his family more com fortably than by holding that miserable patch of land. When you are willing to surrender your holdings, so as to have them conjoined with others, I shall rejoice ; but God forbid I should ever sanction the turning out of families who did not know where to shelter their heads but in the union workhouse. (Loud applause.) Hav ing become your landlord I wish to address to you a few further observations. In former times, the pro perty of which I became the owner, both in Moycullen and in Barna, had much influence in Parliamentary elections, both for the city and the county of Galway. Now, gentlemen, I tell you that I never will interfere with your exercise of the elective franchise. (Pro longed cheering.) I hope that you are all loyal—that you are all attached to the British Constitution ; but as to party politics, make your own choice, and I know my rev, friend will never improperly interfere. (Loud cheers.) It has been said that Roman Catholic priests have interfered improperly in politics ; I am convinced my rev. friend, your respected pastor, never will, and I apprehend you shall incur no danger in conscientiously exercising your own judgments, and voting for the man who you honestly believe will confer the greatest amount of benefit upon you. (Cheers.) Then, gentle men, with reference to another subject. I believe that most of you adhere to the religion of your forefathers — the Roman Catholic faith. (Cheers.) I, gentlemen, was brought up a Protestant, and am sincerely con vinced of the truth of the tenets of my religion. I shall be the last man in the world to interfere with religious liberty, nor would I ever encourage any improper efforts to proselytise. (Enthusiastic cheers.) Let every man worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. (Applause ' again and again re newed.) I have been long a member of Parliament, and I have always stood up for the just rights of myt Roman ca. 1 catholic fellow subjects, and I earnestly supported lholic emancipation. (Cheers.) I was told that the Roman catholics would not be satisfied with obtaining . perfect equality, but they also require a scendancy and exclusion. I said, however, "let us grant them all they are justly entitled to, and if they ask for more, let us make a stand against them." (Cheers.)Lcoo;nfewshsitohherle are certain doctrines called "ultrainont cannot approve of, for they involve ancestors before the Reformation principles that your refused to sanction, and never ceased to resist. tad, to be subject to a( (Hear.)l They never would n allow England, Ireland , or So foreign power. Those doctrinese have been, in some in stances, revived, and they are of such a nature that they ca nnot expect my approbation, re nor that of any sincere a friend of religious equality liberty of conscience. I am for equality, and against ascendancy. ascendancy. (Cheers.) I wish my Roman catholic fellow-subjects should have the free, undisturbed enjoyment of everything necessary fo r the exercise of their religion and the celebration o f it s rites and ceremonials —but if they will not allow their fellow Christians of other sects to enjoy the same privi leges,then, say, I they are unreasonable, .and should b e , esisted. (Cries of A e never will.") Since I c ame t o Ireland, it afforded me sincere pleasure to find the great mass of the people sound and reasonable in their views. They are not bigoted—they are not intolerant, but ap pear willing to live in peace and harmony with all persuasions. There is one other topic respecting which I would wish to make a few observations—l mean the establishment of the Queen's Colleges in Ireland. Gen tle men, I believe that the intentions of the English government are most pure and disinterested, and that no ill intentions existed respecting those establishments. Every possible precaution has been taken to guard the faith and morals of the students from danger. I there fore deeply regret that there was any opposition excited against those establishments.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, I , Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro &lced More misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequent es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, Assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The Rev. J. C. Connolly afterwards conducted their Lordships over the large room above the sawmills, at present occupied as a chapel for the performance of Divine service for the authorities and artisans of the dockyard, the officers and seamen afloat, and the Royal Marines, who attend there every Sunday. Their Lordships were pleased to express to the Rev. J. C. Connolly their intention have a chapel built for the use of those connected with the dockyard, and her Majesty's seamen afloat and Marines on shore, and that it should be constructed so as to accommodate 1,500 persons ; and. on leaving the temporary chapel, proceeded to a piece of ground on which some timber is stacked at present, but uncovered, at the west side of the garden attached to the Superin tendent's residence,;) on which it has been decided the new chapel shall be built. They then proceeded to the wharf-wall, where Commodore Henry Eden pointed out a plan which would greatly improve the low-water landing-place for those s erv i ng a fl oat, and Mr. Bernays submitte the plans hating that object in view. Their Lordships at half-past 1 o'clock, proceeded to the pay office, and witnessed a muster of the whole of the men, each individual name being called, and each person having to pass singly through the office. The inspec tion lasted upwards of an hour. At the conclusion of the muster their Lordships expressed themselves highly pleased with the appearance of the workmen, and added that they had never seen a finer body of men. At a quarter before 3 o'clock their Lordships entered the residence of the Commodere Superintendent, and par took of a repast prepared for them, and after a short stay again resumed their official duty of inspection,. visiting the factory, and inspecting the new screw pro pellers for the Hannibal, 90, the James Watt, 90, and the tube of the screw shaft of the Nile, 90, all in pro gress of being finished for these fine screw steamships —the former at Deptford, and the two latter at Devon port. After a passing through the machinery department, they entered the smith's shop, and subsequently the boilermakers' department where they saw the new machinery for making rivets at the rate of 40 per minute, and the joining of two pieces of boiler sheet-iron, and clinching the rivet al most instantaneously by two smart blows of a machine, which accomplishes the work in a far more perfect manner Than the hand-hammers could effect. Passing from the boilermakers' department through the ' foundry, their lordships visited the store for screw pro pellers, and the beautifully kept steam-engine for work ing all the machinery in the factory, and after examining the boilers of the Hannibal, proceeded to the basin, and went on board the Janus steam vessel, reported as hav ing the dry rot to such a degree that it is expected the machinery will have to be taken out and the vessel be broken up. They then inspected the large mast of 104 feet in length, formed of small pieces of wood, compara tively to those hitherto used, and joined together with Jeffery's marine glue, and intended for the centre mast of the new sheers to be put up on the wharf between the basin and the river. The mast weighs upwards of 16 tons. Their lordships also inspected the other two masts in the rnasthouse, now nearly finished, for the other parts of the sheers. They concluded their inspection at the west end of the yard by passing under and around the - Royal Albert, 131, screw steamship, and again proceeded to the east end of the yard, to inspect the sawmill, and were much pleased to witness the manner in which the futtocks or knee pieces of timber were cut by machinery, always a most difficult task when done by hand. Mr. Thompson, in charge of the mills, was complimented by the First Lord on the efficient condition of the works under him, and during the inspection Sir James Gra ham surprised and gratified the persons in charge of the places he visited by the questions he put and the readi ness with which he comprehended all that came under his notice. After a short visit to the well-ventilated and excellently arranged blacksmiths' shop, and the building' and dies used in the Nasmyth's hammer department, their lordships left, at 5 o'clock, for town. A. Prince of Prussia, with three attendants, arrived at the dockyard abdut a quarter of an hour after their lordships, and was conducted over the establishment by Lieutenant Gore, Mr. Chatfield, and Mr. Trickett. [PRICE SD. agitation on this much vexed question to be at Rome, and to have an interview with his Holi ness the Pope. (Hear.) He had the goodness to permit me to discuss the subject with him, and I tried to impress upon the mind of his Holiness the ad vantages that would inevitably accrue to the Roman Catholics of Ireland if they were to resort to those col leges, and I must say that the Pope, who appeared to me adorned with every Christian virtue, talked to me with great liberality upon the subject. He said what was most fair, namely, that he much preferred that Ro man Catholics should have Roman Catholic instructors if possible. Gentlemen, I believe that is impossible in the present posture of affairs. You must send your sons to instructors of mixed sects, but no evil need be appre hended on this account. Trinity college has flourished, on this system for many years, and has turned out many' men of great eminence and distinction ; and why there should exist any scruple on the part of the Roman Ca tholics to enter those colleges I never could understand. I, therefore, most earnestly advise those among you who can afford to do so, to send your sons to the Queen's College of Galway, where, at a very small expense, they can obtain an education that will qualify them for the highest offices of the State. I hope most sincerely that this auspicious day will lead to the most happy results. I have certain rights as a landlord. My tenants have contracted to pay certain rents to me, and these rents I expect to be paid. I hope those rents are moderate. I intend to have a revaluation of my estates. When the rent is too high it shall be reduced ; and when too low, raised to an equitable standard. These rents ought to be paid, and I hope, and indeed am certain, that it will be unnecessary to resort to unpleasant measures for their recovery. But from your own professions, and the cha racter given of you—a character that, from my own brief observations, lam disposed to concur in—l hope and believe there will never be a law-suit between us. (Cries of " never," and loud cheers.) I hope that the word " driver" will be always unknown on the Moycul len estate. I hope that the present is an era of prospe rity and a new order of things for the whole of Ireland. Your sufferings have been dreadful, and have been borne in a Christian and manly manner, and I hope that a long future of uninterrupted prosperity will reward your exer tions and your sufferings. I observe everywhere evident symptoms of improvement. Your prospects and cha racter are advancing ; and I anticipate from your indus try—your exertions and the encouragement I am ready and willing to afford—that the country will assume an appearance of prosperity, and that our just and reason able anticipations will be fulfilled. It would delight me, indeed, if the unexpected circumstance of my becoming proprietor would afford an additional inducement to blend Protestants and Catholics, Englishmen and Irish men, in harmonious and uninterrupted intercourse toge ther. I wish, with the utmost sincerity, prosperity and every blessing to the tenantry of Moycullen. (Cheers.) NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 25. Rear-Admiral Corry's and Commodore Martin's squadrons are to cruise separately at sea until the 17th of September, when they are to assemble at Queens town to meet the Lords of the Admiralty, who will in spect them. _ _ _ - The London, 90, Captain Charles Eden only awaits the payment of wages to her crew to leave and join the sailing squadron under Rear-Admiral Corry.

General Viscount Hardinge, G.C.8., Commander-in- Chief, and staff, arrived in the garrison last night, and were the guests of Major-General Simpson at the Go vernment-house. This morning the gallant General embarked in her Majesty's steam-vessel Sprightly, Act ing-Master George Allen, R.N., commanding, and left for the westward, but whether on a tour of inspection of the coast military authorities, or on a visit to her Ma jesty, we cannot state. The Marlborough, 131, screw.—The alteration of this mighty vessel's bows already shows a vast improve ment, by giving her a fine entrance, so necessary to a steamer of any pretension to speed. We have no doubt that had the Duke of Wellington the same advantage she would gain a knot an hour. The Marlborough will not only be a much larger ship than the Duke, but she will be also a faster ship, as every alteration will be an mprovement in this already magnificent war steamer— the largest, at present, in the world. Commander Charles Royer, whose death on the 24th inst. is noticed in the obituary of The Sun of this day, was a gallant veteran, and one of Nelson's officers, as will be seen by the following epitome of his services, from 0' Byrne's Naval Biography :—"Charles Royer entered the navy in the spring of 1794 as A.B. on board the Swiftsure, 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral W. Parker in the West Indies. He was afterwards, while serving in the same ship under Captain Benjamin Hallo ; Well, ‘ most actively employed in the Mediterranean, where he fought at the battle of the Nile, took part as a THE BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL FIRE ASSURANCE COMPANY. The annual meeting of this company took place at 12 o'clock yesterday--Mr. Lowe in the chair. The follow ing report was read by the secretary : " The national system of fire assurance, based upon : the mutual principle, founded by this company five years since, has continued up to the present time to meet with unabated prosperity. This system, which gives the se curity of an assurance against damage by fire to the masses of the population of this country at cost price, fosters the provident habits of the people, by reducing to the lowest point the necessary outlay. The directors of this company have popularised this principle by the establishing of branch offices and agencies, and the dis semination of information by means of the press, through. out the country ; believing that the principle of mutual fire assurance requires only to be known, and under.' stood generally, to be universally practised. They have ' also, during the past year, obtained the additional secu rity of a guarantee fund of 200,0001., which has been effected, without interfering with the mutual principle upon which the company is founded. It is believed that a very large proportion of the property in this country is uninsured, affording ample scope for the operations of this company ; and the directors have urged upon the agents and policy holders of the company earnestly to make known its features to persons not at present assured in a mutual office. With this view, also, nearly two hundred respectable persons have been appointed as additional, agents during the past year. The business of the com pany has very considerably increased during the past year, and the losses have been, both in the year and from the commencement of the company, less than half the premiums received, and it is considered that if the vigorous measures in operation for the safe extension of the company's business be ably seconded by the policy holders, still more encouraging results will appear in the year ensuing . The directors reported last year that they had applied to Government to remove a very onerous tax imposed under the Joint Stock Act, whereby every mutual office had to pay a registration fee of is. per policy holder, which, seeing that the company has issued . above 9,000 policies, amounted to a considerable yearly sum. The directors are happy to state that, upon these representations, the above tax was removed, and the • removal made to apply to all mutual offices, whether for fire or for life assurance. And if the suggestions the directors are about offering to Government in respect to the partial abolition of the fire insurance duty are equally successful, two great obstacles to the spread of fire in surance among the masses of the middle and working classes will have been removed. During the last year , 2,016 new policies have been issued by the company, assuring property to the extent of 940,5611., and making the total assurances effected 8,782 for 3,664,6811. ster ling.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the prospect which had attended the operations of the society, and all those con nected with the office had done everything to insure suc cess. He was glad in one respect that the starting of a. mutual office was attended with difficulties ; but not- , withstanding the difficulties which they had to encounter, the company was now founded on a sound basis. and all, they wanted was to get their friends to join them, that they might be participators of the benefit the office was calculated to confer on the public. He believed that the office was now in a fair way of coming up in pros-: perity equal to the old companies. Their policies had. during their past transactions increased by 2,016 and in' f d ' a 6 ne t a 6 r h y 4 l e .w : rh c gTi o 6 ec n company, hadapo a mount ° t os h up Fle ne t r e e p rincipleo a si de prosperity n v o3 de an d t w all a theth s l e u liabilities, directors. teeq ual to any demands that could be made on the company,. of and he had no doubt as to the success of the society, and. e P ui atBmg guarantee a ea , r qsaa Thos e A nfnot delutn otdfhe dmuen soundn ess figures the' its advantages to the shareholders and the public gene rally.

Joining next as master's mate the Chamelion brig, Captain Thomas Staines, he assisted in the boats of that ship at the capture of several armed feluccas near Tarragona. He served subsequently in the Kent, 74, and Victory, 100, flag-ships of Sir Richard Bickerton and Lord Nelson, both in the Me diterranean, - where he was made lieutenant on the 19th of November, 1804, in the Madras, 54, Captain Charles M. Schomborg, and where, from August, 1805, until paid off in August, 1809, he served in the Ambuscade, 32, Captain William D'Urban. His last appointment was in May., 1810, to the Astrma, of 42 guns and 471 men, commanded by his former captain, Schomberg, under whom,. while cruising, on the 20th of May, 1811, off Madagaftcar, in company with the Phoebe and Galatea frigates (similar in force to the Astrws), and the 18-gun brig Racehorse, he assisted, after a long and warmly-contested action with the French 40-gun frigates Renommde, Clorinde, and Ndrdide, and a loss to the Astrma of two killed and 16 wounded, at the capture of the Renommde. On the surrender of the latter ship, he was sent in a sinking boat, accompanied by Lieutenant John Drury, R.M., and five seamen, to take possession of her. His conduct while on board, we are officially informed, reflected much credit upon him. He left the Astrma in October, 1811, and accepted the rank of Retired Commander on the 22d of February, 1838. For injuries sustained in the Ambus cade in 1806 Commander Royer was presented with a gratuity from the Patriotic Fund, and awarded on the 4th of November, 1809, a pension of 451. 12s. per an num. He was lately Harbourmaster at Port Louis, Mauritius." PLYMOUTH, AUG. 25. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship Brisk, 14, Comman der Seymour, sailed yesterday afternoon for the West Indies, with Sir G. Barkly, the new Governor of Jamaica. The Squirrel brig arrived y es t er d a y f rom P em b ro k e , with Mr. Brown and a party of riggers, and was placed alongside the jetty to be dismantled. Orders have been received at this port for 30 caulkers and a foreman to proceed direct to Pembroke to assist in caulking the Caesar, 90. By private letters from the Leander, 50, Captain G. St. Vincent King, at New York, it appears that, in consequence of the desertion of 11 or 12 of her men, all the crew have been refused permission to visit the city. WOOLWICH, AUG. 25, APPOINTMENTS.

Sir James Graham, First Lord of th e Admiralty ; Rear-Admiral R. S. Dundas, C. 8., a Capt i n Alexander Milne, and the Hon. William Fran cis 'Cowper, M.P., Lords of the Admiralty ; Mr. Ber nal Osborne, M.P., First Secretary to the Admiralty ; Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the N av y ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Greene, Director of Architectural and Engineering Works, arrived at Woolwich Dockyard to-day at a few minutes before 11 o'clock, and were received by Commodore Henry Eden, the superintendent ; Flag-Lieutenant Gore, of the Fisgard ; Lieutenant Robertson, of the steam depart ment afloat ; Master P. C. D. Bean, of the Fisgard ; Master H. W. Allen, commander of the Lightning steam-vessel ; the Rev. J. C.

Th e i r lordships, on 'alighting from their carriages, proceeded to the Commodore-Superintendent's offices, and remained there upwards of three-quarters of an hour inspecting documents and learning various de tails referring to the works, &c., in the dockyard. Ozi leaving the Commodore's offices, at a quarter before 12 o'clock, their lordships proceeded to inspect the prepara tions for building the Edgar, a 91-gun screw steam-ship, the keel of which has been nearly all laid on the same slip whence her sister ship, the Agamemnon, 91, screw steam-ship was launched in 1852. They theirlooked at the Lightning, in the adjoining dock, and from the re port of her present state, it is probable the works on her will be suspended, and a new vessel built to take her place. The Rosamond, in the east dock, is being new coppered, preparatory to being made ready for commis sion. At the extreme east end of the yard they inspected some small buildings close to the'dockyard wall, which from their construction do not appear to be worth re pairing, and are, therefore, likely to be taken down for ii improvements. A considerable time was occupiedt inspecting the cordage and rigging-house, the ra nd and a piece of ground outside the present docky ard h a P boun dary, but belonging to the Admiralty, use d for altilQugWater drawing up and repairing the Woolwich a nd Mr. ISILAO DOXSEY seconded the resolution, which . was agreed to after a short discussion. The proprietors present were unanimous in awarding credit to the directors and the officers of the company, and in anticipating great advantages from the company. The meeting then separated. FESTIVITIES AT WILTON-HOUSE.—The Right Hon.' Sidney and the Hon. Mrs. Herbert have arrived at Wilton-house, from London, and on Saturday after, loon the beautiful lawn in front of the mansion was the scene of a most gratifying spectacle, a liberal treat having been provided for the school children to the num- ber of between 400 and 500. The party assembled at the National Schools at about three o'clock, and, as soon as the necessary arrangements were complete, formed a. procession through the town into the park, preceded by the Wilton band, and accompanied by their teachers and friends. On arriving at the mansion they were met and welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert ; the band then played a portion of the National Anthem, after which the children took their places in regular order at the tables arranged on the lawn, and their clean and happy faces, together with the repast spread before th em , ren dered the scene truly exhilirating. They did not fail to evince a due appreciation of the plentiful supply of cake and fruit which was set before them, and their happiness could not fail to be considerably enhanced by being waited upon by . their munificent patrons, who appeared to be very desirous of contributing by every possible means to their pleasure. A. large number of the elite of the neighbourhood were present on the occasion. The whole of the park and adjacent grounds were kindly thrown open to the public. The flower-garde n , t oo , was thronged with visitors, who seemed determined to give themselves up f or a w hil e to inn ocen t p l easure and re creation. Th e tea. being concluded, various sports and pastimes were introduced and engaged in with much spirit by the juveniles. A number of the girls were soon engaged in racing for bonnets and shawls, whilst the lads amused the company by jumping in sacks, &c., for various useful articles of wearing apparel. These amuse ments were followed by a country dance, in which both Mr. and Mrs. Herbert joined. GR AVESEND STAR PACKETS. No other Packets call at the Grays, Greenhithe, and Purfleet Piers.
