TO THE LADIES. —The powerful influence of the sun on the skin and complexion at this period of the year calls Tor increased attention in preserving their delicacy and beauty. The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable object is ROWLANDS' KA LT DOR, so deservedly established in Royal and public favour and estimation. Its application neutralises the effects of atmosphere, and induces that healthy action of the minute secretory vessels of the skin, by which its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan, Spots, Pimples, and Di.coloarations are eradicated by the application of the Kalydor, and gave place io a hea'thy clearness and trans parency of complexion. Lades traveling or taking ut-door exer cise will find it diffire a gi - ate ul end re res , ing feeling, dispelling the cloud of langour and relaxation, allaying all heat and lr stability, and immediately affording the pleating s , nsation attending restore ! elasticity and healthful s: - .ate of the skin. In dices of sun-but n, stings of insects, or incidental inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknovviedc,eo.—Price 4s. 6.1. and Bs. Gd. per bottle.

MEDICAL AD VICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University 01 Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Bsc., &C. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system re sulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro: bleed more misery in youth , degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of l ife, than p erha p s an y other class of dis cases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist. once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in ex istence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfluithl Marri age;, 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 canno 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 cowequenc 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 tcience 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 attenilon to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rem arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally con fi ded to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, Assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their paten; nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

A proposition from Dr. Bache, director of the coast survey of the 'United States for a joint survey of the Gulf Stream by the United States and Great Britain, having been addressed to the Presi dent of the British Association since the Belfast meet ing, has been forwarded to the hydrographer of the Admiralty. With reference to the resolutions re garding the agricultural statistics of Great Britain, the committee appointed to carry out the wishes of the general committee have reported to the council that, having ascertained that measures having those objects in view had already been adopted by her Majesty's Go vernment, they have confined themselves to an expres sion of satisfaction therewith, and of readiness to afford any practicable aid on the part of the British Associa tion. On the subject of a grant in aid of the publica tion of Mr. Huxley's zoological and physiological re searches in her Majesty's ship Rattlesnake, the council reports that the application made in the last year by the presidents of the Royal Society and of the British Asso ciation to the Earl of Derby has been renewed, in the present year, to the Earl of Aberdeen by the Earl of Rosse, on behalf of both institutions. No reply has yet been received. The council desire to take this occasion of calling the attention of the general committee to the want which had been left in this instance, as in many others, of suitable and systematic airangements of the government for the due publication, of the results of scientific researches executed at the ipublic expense by naval officers acting under the instruetions of the Ad miralty. The invitations formerli received by the British Association from Liverpool' and Glasgow, to hold the meeting of the next two yes at these places, will be renewed by deputations apprfinted to attend at Hull for that purpose. From Gloissister, also, there will be an invitation to the associatio*M.hold early" meeting in that city.

The CHAIRMAN congratulated theAwm . ittee that the association had this year, fo r th e t time for many years, not only paid off some debt on ,another meeting, but lived 2001. within their income. The report was unanimously adopted. The first general meeting was held in the Mechanics Institute in the evening, when the usual address on the objects and proceedings was delivered by Mr. William Hopkins, M.A., F.G.S. Vice-President of th e R oyal Society, and President Of the Cambridge Philosophical Society of Astronomical Research. _... The meetings of the sections commenced yesterday. While many of the papers received by the secretary are devoted to local objects, a majority are connected with subjects of a more universal and generally interesting character.

Thomas Exley, M.A., on the cause of the trans mission of electricity along conductors generally, and particularly as applied to the electric telegraph. HOW THE SICK POOR ARE TREATED IN MARYLEBONE. Yesterday, Mr. Brent held an inquest, at the Consti tution, Great James's-street, Marylebone, on Martha Austen, aged 5 years, the daughter of humble but in dustrious parents, whose death was attributed to cruel parochial neglect. It appeared, from the evidence, that the deceased having been very ill, the parents despatched a woman, named White, to the workhouse for medical aid. White had scarcely time to deliver her message at 'the workhouse gate, when the porter gruffly an swered, "You can't have a medical order," and then slammed the door in her face. After remaining some time outside the gate, in the hope of getting a medical order, and finding that it was only time lost, she re turned to the child's father, who was also ill, and at home by himself, his wife being out charring, and told him of the result of her journey. As the parents deemed all further efforts to obtain medical aid useless, they did not repeat the application. The following morning the child vomited a quantity of blood and ex pired. In answer to a question from the coroner, White said that she did not make a second application to the work house, because she knew it would be vain, as she had been similarly treated on a previous occasion when she sought at the workhouse for a medical order for her own child. A juror—The treatment of the poor when they apply for relief at the workhouse gates is shameful. If they attempt explaining their case, they are brutally pushed from the door. The poor creatures, instead of meeting with such cruel rebuffs, should be treated with every consideration and humanity. Mr. Sedgewick, parochial surgeon, performed the autopsy. Deceased died from scarlatina. He could not say whether life would have been saved if deceased had had timely medical aid. The conduct of the gate porter "w very- bad, as an order was given in cases of illness. IV was his duty to hive • sent the applicant to the' oVerseVa room. • 4e was informed that it was not the regular porter, but. a pauper, that was on duty at the time. Coroner—l frequently experience difficulty in - getting admission myself into the workhouse. If this occurs to me, how are the poor treated when they seek admission or relief Several jurors made similar complaints and expressed great indignation at the treatment of the out door poor at the workhouse gate. The coroner summed up very minutely, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence, accompanied by the subjoined marked censure, which they requested the coroner to forward to the workhouse authorities : " The jury regret that an order was refused at the work house for deceased's medical attendance, and they re commend that the poor should be treated with more civility and kindness. . The jury further recommend that boards be placed on , the walls of the workhouse, with directions instructing the poor how -they should apply for relief." A juror hoped that the coroner would urge upon the guardians the propriety of fixing, on a promi nent place, those instructions, for they would assure the poor that they could not be robbed with impunity of those rights to which they are by law entitled. The coroner promised to comply with the request of the jury, and forward their recommendations to the guardians, with every confidence that those recommendations would be acted upon.

This noble charity has just acquired a considerable addition to its funds under circumstances so singular as to justify particular notice of them. When the founda tion stone of the building in the Fulham-road was laid by Prince Albert, on the llth of June, 1844, a handsome gilt trowel, specially manufactured by Messrs. Elking ton, from an original and elegant design, was made use of by the Prince. At the bazaar in aid of the institu tion, held in the grounds of Chelsea Hospital on that and the following day, this trowel was exhibited at the stall of Mrs. Philip Rose, wife of the honorary secretary, and excited general admiration. A gentleman who saw it, Mr. John M'Cullom, of Bedford-place, became very desirous of possessing it, and ultimately pur chased it of Mrs. Rose for thirty guineas. A few days after it became first known to the ?committee that it was usual in such cases ta.request the layer of the stone to accept the trowel which had been used on the occasion, and all parties concerned were at once desirous of repairing the error ii4o which they had un designedly fallen, and of regainining possession of the handsome implement, that it might be offered for the Prince's acceptance. Accordingly a representation of the circumstances was made to Mr. M'Culloin by Mr. Rose, and, though he was very reluctant to part with an object which he had shown so much desire to possess, and which appeared to possess peculiar value in his eyes he at length consented to surrender it, that the wishes of the committee might be complied with. But h e posi tively refused to receive back the 30 guineas he had paid for it, though urgently pressed to do so. The trowel being sent to Prince Albert, was graciously accepted ' • and the only return that could be made to Mr. M'C u ll om for his liberality was to present him with the hand somely-carved walnut-wood mallet which had also been used by his Royal Highness during the ce remony. On this mallet was a plate, with an inscription, com memorative of the use to which it had been applied ' • and it was accompanied with a note to Mr. M'C u lli om expressive of the great regret felt at his disappointment. These circumstances, trifling in themselves, seem to have made a lasting impression on Mr. M'Cullom's mind. So far from feeling aggrieved at the loss of the trowel, the transaction appears to have strengthened his interest in the charity which he thus for th e fi rst time became acquainted with. On his death, a short time since, he left the whole of his property absolutely to his sister, his only surviving „relative ; but a private memorandum was found in his desk, conveying his desire that, at her death, she would bequeath the pro perty to the Hospital for Consumption. This wish the lady held sacred ; and by her will, just proved, she leaves her property, with the exception of a few trifling legacies, to this beneficent institution. Her estate is now being realised, and, we are glad to hear, will l e ave a net surplus available to the charity after all deduc tions, not far short of 15,0001, CUMBERLAND.—We have had a week of glorious wea ther for the harvest, and great progress has been made in cutting, stooking, and leading crops of every kind in all the districts around Carlisle.—Carlisle Journal. THE MURDER AT STOCKPORT. The inquest on the bodies of the two children, John and James Higham, whose bodies were found in the the canal at Reddish, near Stockport, on Monday, and who are supposed to have been drowned by their step father, Thomas Moore, on Friday last, was opened on Tuesday at the Navigation Inn, Heaton Norris, before Mr. W. S. Rutter, county coroner. Moore was pre sent in custody, and defended by Mr. Vaughan, solicitor, of Stockport. The prisoner was proved to have led the children down a street leading to the side of the canal on Friday, and then tnrned back and gone with them towards a place called the Ash, on the Manchester-road, near which the bodies were found. The children were not seen afterwards. The prisoner afterwards dried his clothes at the house of; a woman named Walton. In the evening he told his wife he had been at work, which was not true. The inquest was then adjourned, and resumed on Thursday, when the following evidence was given : W. Rae, the secretary to the Middle Hill-gate Bene volent Burial Society, held at the Old Admiral public house, said, I don't know the prisoner. I remember the deceased, James Higham, being entered a member on the 2d of February, 1845. John was entered on the 17th of June, 1848, and their mother has paid the money for them regularly. She and her first husband had been ' entered as members in 1848. There are three branches of the society, and Jarnes was entered in two of them for 71. 125., and John was in one for 3/. 12s. I don't know whether Moore knew they were members ; he never paid the money. Robert Taylor, residing at Lark-hill, near Stockport, said,—l am collector to the Temperance Burial Club, and brother to Mrs. Moore, the mother of the deceased children. Both the children were members. I find from the book of the society that John was entered July Bth, 1849, and James, the eldest, on the 29th of August, 1852, and 61. each was payable at their death. The prisoner knew that the children were members, and was himself entered on Sunday week. I called at the house for the subscriptions, which were paid by the mother. Esther Partington said,—l am the wife of James Partington, a maker-up, living in King-street, Stock port. I have known Thomas Moore for several years, and saw him last Friday near Hanover chapel gates, on Lancashire-hill. I don't know what time it was, but it was in the forenoon. I stopped him, and asked him what he was doing up that way, and he said he did not know. He had two boys with him whom I had seen once before, and I asked him if they were his. He said, they were not his, but he was taking care of them. He said he had been out of work a few days. He then went with the boys up Lancashire hill, and I went home. I had seen the children pass by our house with him and their mother once before, about three weeks ago. I had not seen them before then. One of the children was marked with the small-pox, and the other was rather lame. It had been raining a little before but was fair at the time I spoke to the priso ner on Friday. He might have had an umbrella, but I did not see one. It was soon after breakfast that I started for Lancashire-hill. I was on an errand for my mother. I had not an umbrella with me, and it had not been raining sufficiently to wet any one through. Benjamin Beresford said - I live in Portwood. I am a roller maker, and have known the prisoner some time by sight. About a quarter to nine o'clock on Friday night I was opposite the new weir, about half a mile from Portwood, when I met the prisoner. He asked me if I had seen the two children I had seen him with the other day. I had seen him with two children on the previous Friday night close to the bridge. I replied that no children had gone up that " brow." He said, "My wife let them out about ten o'clock this forenoon while I was at my work." I said it was very strange that she could let them out, as she was at work and he was playing. He said he sup posed they had got into the water again, for he found them drowned in the weir hole the week before. I said, " If you have any doubt about their being in the water come round the river side with me." I took hold of his jacket as I spoke, and he immediately sprang away up the " brow," without looking at the water. I saw no more of him. I told my wife when I got home that I had seen him there the week before, and that I believed he was then going to do something with the children. When I saw him on the previous Friday he was coming towards the weir from Portwood, with a child in each hand. When he got on the bridge over the cut which supplies a mill he left hold of one of the children and stood looking into the water for more than a minute. He then laid hold of the children again, and came to the cut-side. When he saw me he walked away with the children. I afterwards overtook him on the " brow" side, stopped, stared at him, and went on ' home. I suspected he intended to do something with the children, being there so late. Elizabeth Evans, wife of Samuel Evans, porter, of Chimney - hall - street, said, —I saw the prisoner on Friday with two children. I think it was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon in Chimney-ball-street. One of the children was lame, and that caused me to notice them. Some time afterwards I saw him going in the same direction without the children. I did not see his face the first time. He was going towards the canal side when I saw him the second time, and I did not see him any more. There is a road along the canal bank. He might have an umbrella with him, but I did not see one. The children had dark clothes on. I never saw the prisoner before Fri day. It was not raining when I saw them, but it had rained that day. John Lee, police-constable, said, I apprehended the prisoner last Saturday about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I told him I had a warrant against him for neglect of his family. He said, "Very well. I had rather go with you than be where I am." I took hiin to the police-office, and told him he was charged with taking away two chil dren from the street in which he lived, and I wanted to know what account he had to give of them. He said ahne d then he em t : o u m p r s t h . e Burtonstreett:o r s, D. where he Walter's re m a corner,remained till 5 o'clock at night. He said he went to Heaton Norris at a quarter before 1 o'clock to wait for his din ner at Mr. M'Clure's mill, and remained here till half past 2. He said he sent the elder boy home with an umbrella, and left him in Marsland-street, Portwood, to tell his mother to send him his dinner at Mr. M'Clure's mill at 1 o'clock, but the dinner did not come. This concluded the evidence. The coroner, in commenting upon the evidence, ob served that there were several discrepancies between the prisoner's statement and what appeared to be the truth. The jury would have to determine whether the evidence they had heard was sufficient to justify them in return ing a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner, or, if not satisfied with the evidence aga i nst him, ,th would say that the children we re f ound drowned. ey The jury, after deliberating about five minutes, re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the pri soner, Thomas Moore, who was accordingly committed to take his trial at the next Liverpool assizes.

The annual gathering of this association, which in 1852 took place at Belfast, is shifted this year from the sister country to the East coast of England, and King. ston-upon-Hull, for the first time, receives the honour of a visit. The local arrangements for the reception and entertainment of visitors seem in every respect com plete. Most of the institutions and public establish ments have been thrown open to members and asso ciates. The extensive docks may be perambulated by those who wish to receive impressions as to the trading importance of the town, and at the Victoria dock, re cently opened, the curious may inspect an anemometer and tide gauge of improved construction. The manu facturers of the town have thrown open their esta blishments, and the splendid steam-ships which ply to Hamburg and St. Petersburgh are also free to all comers in the name of the association. Lord Londes borough's new yacht the St. Ursula, and a beautiful yacht, built in England, on the model of the America, are also in the port, and visitors there experience a hos pitable reception. In addition to this, as the neighbour hood of Hull is not wanting in interest, excursions have been planned, in which pleasure may be combined with researches archaeological, antiquarian, and geological. The directors of the York and North Midland Rail way vie in their liberality with the other great interests of the town, and afford every facility and ind ucemen t for visiting the many interesting spots which abound in the locality, and which are connected with it by means of the railway. The excursions of the association were fixed for yesterday (Thursday), and included, besides minor visits, a trip to Grimston-park, the elegant seat of Lord Londesborough; to Beverley and Flamborough, to Brocklesby-park, the seat of the Earl of Yarborough ; Thornton Abbey, the new docks at Grimsby, and the famous Spurn Head. Its vice-presidents for the year are the Earl of Carlisle, Lord Londesborough, Prof. Fara day, the Rev. Prof. Sedgwick, Prof. Wheatstone, Lieut.- Col. Sykes, Mr. W. Spence and Mr. Chas. Frost, presi of the Hull Literary and Scientific Society ; Dr. Cooper and Mr. Bethel Jacobs are the local secretaries. Since the first meeting at York in 1831, under the presidency of the Earl Fitzwilliam, the association has held its meetings twice in Oxford, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Cambridge, and once in Dublin, Bristol, Liverpool, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Glasgow, Plymouth, Manchester, Cork, York, Southampton, Swansea, Ipswich, Belfast. The list of presidents during these years shows the esti mation in which the association is held, and proves its complete freedom from that spirit of cliqueism which too frequently attaches itself to societies even where the professed objects are of the most universal and comprehensive character. It includes Earl Fitz william, Rev. Dr. Buckland, the Rev. Adam Sedgwick, Sir T. M. Brisbane, the Rev. Provost Lloyd, the Mar quis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Burlington, the Duke of Northumberland, the Rev. W. Vernon Harcourt, the Marquis of Breadalbane, Professor Whewell, Lord Francis Egerton, Earl of Hesse, the Rev. G. Peacock (dean of Ely), Sir John F. W. Herschell, Sir Roderick Murchison, Sir R. H. Inglis, the Marquis of Northamp ton, the Rev. T. R. Robinson, Sir David Brewster, Professor Airy, Colonel Sabine, and in the present year a most judicious selection has been made of a gentleman whose talents and abilities aro of the highest order— Mr. Hopkins, president of the Cambridge Philosophical Society. The proceedings of the association commenced on Wednesday with the meeting of the general committee for the dispatch of business, Colonel Sabine presiding. The report of the proceeding of the council was read by Professor Phillips, the Assistant-General Secretary, and stated that the committee, appointed for the purpose of considering a plan by which the tranasctions of different scientific societies might become part of one arranged system, and the records of facts and phenomena be rendered more complete, more continuous, and more systematic than at present , has obtained from the greater part of its members written communications embodying their respective opinions on the subject in question, and it is proposed that on the re turn from Italy of Professor Thompson, the origi nator of the resolution, these communications shall be discussed and a report prepared. The committee formed in consequence of a communication from the President of the British Association to the President and Council of the Royal Society for the purpose taking such steps as they should deem most desirable to pro cure the establishment in the southern hemisphere of a telescope of large optical power for the observation o the southern nebulae, have conducted their proceedings partly by meetings and partly by printed correspon dence, and, having decided on the nature and size of the telescope, and the mode of mounting which they deemed most advisable, they appointed a deputation to communicate with the Earl of Aberdeen, with a view to obtain the sanction of her Majesty's Government and the requisite funds for the construction of the telescope ; the council have learned, with satisfaction, that the deputation was very favourably received by Lord Aberdeen, and that they have reason to en tertain the hope that the necessary funds for the con struction of the telescope will be included in the esti mates presented to Parliament in the next session. In compliance with the resolution directing the council to solicit the co-operation of th e R oya l S ociety i n meteo , rological investigations attainable by balloon ascents, a communication was addressed to the President and Council of the Royal Society, which was most cordially received, and four such ascents have been made, under the direction of the Kew Observatory committee, by the aid of funds placed at their di s p osa l b y the oyal Society, A highly satisfactory account of these ascents, and of the results obtained, is given in a communi tion to the Royal Society drawn up by Mr. Welsh, by whom the observations were conducted, of which communication 500 copies have been presented to the B r iti s h Association.

The Plumper, 9, screw-sloop, Commander Wharton, went out of harbour this afternoon and anchored at Spit head. She saluted the port admiral with the customary salute, which was returned by the Victory. The Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, will be undo c k e d to-morrow and taken into the steam basin. The Edinburgh, 58, screw steam-ship, Captain S. Hewlett, is expected to return to Spithead on Monday from her cruise. The Sealark, 8, sloop, has hauled alongside the Dryad receiving hulk, to be fitted, to take the place of the ap prentice brig Rolla. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, it is expected, will go under extensive alterations. She is to be length ened 60 feet, and to receive engines of 200-horse power, in addition to those now on board. The Sir Robert Peel Indiaman sailed last evening. SHEERNESS, SEPT. 9.1., The Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant-Com mander Webbe r , is now rigged all ataut ; her rigging is sparred ready for rattling down ; she has up to this time only eight petty o ffi cers and able seamen. The men-of-war seamen at the western ports refuse to come round east to join, and it is expected she will be navigated round either to Portsmouth or Devonport to complete her com plement. At each of the western ports they have sea men's homes, where the well-disposed seamen, both of the royal navy and mercantile marine, find shelter and provision, the former exceedingly cheap, and the latter at moderate charges. Neither of these comforts are at present available at this port, where they can only be "taken in and done for," no seamen will remain here. The crew of the Monarch, guardahip of ordinary, are engaged, under charge of Mr. A. F. Mugford, second meter,.-putting the boilers and-rambiaery, &c., brought down her e by the Cycl - A* psy, strew ' steam-ship. She remains u - sin in the4t4lng basin. The Royal Geo rge , 1 20, screw steam-ship, has been moved over to the no#h side of the fitting basin for the convenience of receiving her rigging, stores, armament, &c. The seamen riggers belonging to the yard, and a number of shipwrights, joiners, &c., are engaged on her to expedite her fitment ready for her being commissioned. The Phaeton, 50-gun frigate, has undergone a survey, and is now refitting in the basin preparatory to her being commissioned. The steam-transport Rhadamanthus, Master-Comman der Mx. John Belam, arrived here yesterday at 2.30 P.m. from Devonport and Portsmouth. At 3 the steam tug Af r i can marine artillery for the President, 50, fitting at Chat proceeded alongside and trans-shipped the ham, and left here at 3.30. The Rhadamanthus left here at 3.45 the same day for Woolwich with marine artillery for ships fitting at that port. The Myrtle, steam-tender to the Monarch, left here for Chatham yesterday at 4.45 p.m., and returned again the same evening. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 9. APPOINTMENTS. Surgeon Walter Lawrance (1852) to the Stromboli, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, at Portsmouth. Clerks' Assistants—W. S. Mould, to the Neptune, 120, guard-ship of ordinary at Portsmouth ; C. P. L. Brockman, to the Stromboli. The Vulcan, screw steam-troopship, Commander Von Donop, shortly after she left her moorings at the dock yard, with troops on board for the West Indies, ran so close to the Sarah schooner, of South Shields, lying at anchor in Galleon's Reach, opposite the Royal Arsenal, that the anchor of the troop screw steam-ship caught her rigging and pulled down one of her masts altogether, and a part of the top of the other mast, and destroyed a portion of the bulwarks at the stern of the vessel. The Sarah was laden with tallow, and was towed up th e r i ver to one of the docks in the afternoon by the Monkey steam-vessel to have her damages made good. The Rhadamanthus, paddlewheel steam troop-vessel, Master-Commander Belem, arrived at Gravesend yes terday evening, and came up to Woolwich at an early hour with Captain Morris's Company of Royal Artillery, relieved from Devonport. The company put their bag gage on shore at the dockyard, and marched up to the garrison, headed by the band and drums and flutes of the regiment. During the voyage round from Devon port the Rhadamanthus came into collision with a strange vessel, but the latter would not stop to give her name or mention the damage she sustained, which is supposed to have been slight, as, although the Rhada manthus fired guns and steamed after her for upwards of an hour and a half, she could not overtake her. The damage sustained by the Rhadamanthus is the loss of her figurehead and a portion of her bows, which will have to be repaired at Woolwich. CHATHAM, - Sari. 8. Arab, 12, Commander G. Ogle, is put out of dock, had her chests and bowsprit put in place, and taken alongside the Tartar, bulk, and bas commenced getting her lower rigging over the mastheads. President, 50, Captain Burbidge, flag-ship of Rear- Admiral Price, is drawing fast toward completion, and will be put of dock next springtides. The following persons have been superanuated—viz., Mr. G. Mart, measurer, on a pension of 891. 10s. per annum ; Mr. T. Brooking, foreman of smiths, 60/. per annum ; John Henry and John Reader, riggers, 201. per annum ; Thomas Dicks, stoker, 15/. per annum. PRIZE MONEY FOR THE HOUND.-Messrs. Stilwell have given notice that an account of the proceeds of slave and tonnage bounties for the Santissima Trinidad, seized by her Majesty's sloop Hound, on the 27th Feb., will be deposited in the registry of the High Court of Admiralty, on the Bth inst. PRIZE MONEY FOR THE HECLA.-Woodhead and Co. have given notice to Commander E. H. Beauchamp, and the officers and crew late of her Majesty's ship Hecla, who are entitled to share in the proceeds arising from the capture and destruction, on the 7th of May, 1851, of three launches, and on the 25th of June, 1851, of five launches, that the distribution thereof respectively will be made on the 4th of October next, at No. 1, James-street, A delphi, and where the list will be re called every Thursday and Friday for three months.

IcvaMens Cannon -street ni \ n i st William e i t aehmte cause\Pvaey s n t a e ,n chemical origin rm e ch: l o vests coroner, etsht ae held rmeae te en ht a n manufac turer fire ae t inquiry fhaac t. yesterday at the Sugar Loaf Tavern, Cannon-street broke out on the premises of Mr. Richard Bell, No. 21, tquurierry w a a t s a i n ust e i a tu rli ed h i o n ur eo o u n se M qu on eu d e a e y moforsnoimnge. represen tations tations made to the coroner by the inhabitants of Cannon-street, that the outbreak was to be attributed to the dangerous nature of the business. Owing to the large quantity o f com b us tibl es s t ore d i n th e ilding, and the fact that a similar description of warehouse almost adjoined, the proceedings excited considerable interest, as the fire took place in a neighbourhood which is unequalled in the metropolis for the great amount of insurances effected upon the surrounding property, amounting to upwards of a million. The investigation was attended by Mr. Deputy Lott, Mr. Joyce, and many other Common Councilmen of the ward, and by a number of the principal inhabitants., The coroner addressed the jury, and said that some years ago he revived the practice of inquiring into the origin of fires, which, he believed, was attended with some good result, and which met the approval of the Lord Chief Justice. A portion of the corporation, how ever, thought otherwise, and he had to abandon what he considered a most important character of investigation. In the present case he had been solicited by a number of the inhabitants to hold an inquiry, and, anticipating that some useful ends might be derived from it, he did not hesitate to comply. He did not desire any fee. After the jury had viewed the premises, a number of witnesses, consisting of some of the fire brigade and several of the inhabitants, were examined, but their evi dence did not tend to any satisfactory elucidation of the cause of the fire. The jury having consulted, they returned a verdict to the effect that there was no evidence to prove how the fire originated, and added :—" We find that a much greater quantity of combustible matter had been kept upon the premises than we consider ought ever to be allowed upon any building in the city of London, par ticularly after the precautions taken by the owners of that and the adjoining premises by compelling a fire proof strong room to be built for the storing of those combustibles, which, from the evidence, appears never to have been used, and which has since been pulled down. That there are other premises in the ward in which a similar dangerous trade is carried on, thus jeopardising the lives and property of the inhabitants. We, therefore, trust that the constituted authorities will use their best exertions to prevent a similar occurrence to that which has brought the jury together." The coroner said he would take care to lay the representa tions of the jury before the proper authorities. The proceedings then closed. THE BALMORAL ESTATES.—Great improvements have been made on the Balmoral estates since last year ; the arable and pastoral lands, under the able management of Dr. Robertson, commissioner to his Royal Highness Prince Albert have been brought into a highly promising state, while the hunting grounds and deer forest are in a fair way to become the best in Scotland. The moral and social wants of the tenantry have been especially cared for, the Queen having given command that the poorest families shall have the blessings of education se cured to them, and their domestic wants fully supplied. The new palace begins to make some progress, but the contractor has three years to finish it, and it promises to be a very handsome building. IPSWICH, SEPT. 9.—The 22d annual exhibition of the East Suffolk Agricultural Association was held in this town yesterday. The show took place in Christ Church Park, the seat of Mr. W. C. Fonnereau. The stock exhi bited was quite up to the average number and qua lity shown in former years. Among the visitors we noticed the Earl of Stradbroke, Sir W. F. F. Middleton, Lord St. Leonards, Sir E. Gooch, M.P., Sir Fitzroy Kelly, &c. In the evening the dinner took place in the Corn Exchange, where upwards of 250 gentlemen sat down. The Earl of Stradbroke, the President of the Association, occupied the chair. The usual loyal toasts having been given, Mr. J. C. COBBOLD, M.P., proposed " the health of the President," which was received with great applause. The Earl of STRADBROKE said, it would be in the recollection of many present that when this society was first established, agriculturists generally had been suffering for some time under deep depression, not from any fault of their own, but from a violent change in the circulating medium, so that farmers were called on to pay rents in one currency which they had made arrangements to pay in another. The consequence was that a large portion of the labour ing population were discharged, causing an increase of poor-rates, and producing great misery among the people. (Hear.) But, thanks to, the ener gies of the Anglo-Saxon blood, and to the courage of Englishmen, it was resolved to make an attempt to overcome the difficulty, and, by the application of borrowed capital, to give encouragement to men of scientific attainments to improve machinery. By these means, and also by the stimulus derived from the popularity which attended the operations of this society, as well as from the excellent speeches made at its annual meetings, the agriculturista were enabled eventually to weather the storm. For many years—certainly from the year 1834 to 1836 —this country did enjoy an uninterrupted career of prosperity. He would pass over the next few years, because it was rather painful to allude to them ; but they had now arrived at a period when, through the unexpected discoveries of large quali ties of gold in.many parts of the world, followed as it has been by a considerable emigration from this, and a perfect exodus from the sister country, there had taken place, accompanied by a considerable rise in the price of provisions, an increase of the wages of all engaged in laborious pursuits, and an enjoy ment of luxuries by the humbler classes which, pre viously, were unknown to them. It had been our duty for some years to encourage emigration, with ' 1 the view of benefitting, not only those whom he felt it right to send to different parts of the world, but also those who remained behind. He thought the time had now arrived w . hen it would be pru dent to p u t a check up on t In his opi n i on , the only feasible ws emigration. (Hear.) to effect this would be by i m p rov i ng the habitations ay of the poor —(hear, hear)--and by erecting themho'n the vici nity of those pl aces where their labour quired. It was hi s good fortune, recently, wa t s o rbee y present at the meeti ng o f t h e Royal Agricliltural Society of Ireland, and he felt assured that every person present would re j o i ce to know that the misery which had so long existed in the sister country was about to disappear. (Cheers.) After some further observations, he concluded by pro posing " Success to the East Suffolk Agricultural Association." The toast was drunk with all the honours. The PRESIDENT then proposed " The health of the members for the eastern division of the county of Suffolk," Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Sir E. S. Gooch, which was drunk with great enthusiasm. Sir F. KELLY was very cordially received by the assemblage.—After acknowledging the honour con ferred upon him, he said,—l, very sincerely assure you that, in the efforts I have made to justify your choice, I have been supported by the conviction that I was pleading the cause of a body of men whose energy and himesty—whose patience and perseverance under the sqverest trials, entitle them to the gratitude of their countrymen, and to the best exertions which can be made in their behalf in the Legislature. As long as the agriculturists of this country are distinguished by that integrity and perseverance which have of late characterised them, and as long as their efforts are aided by the skill and enterprise of the Ransoms and Garretts in machinery, they need never despair, however se vere may be the trials to which they may be sub jected. lam aware, that upon these festive occa sions, an ancient and salutary rule is laid down, from which I should be the last to depart, to avoid all allusions to political subjects, upon which, in this free country, it is impossible but that there must be great and serious differences of opinion. I will endeavour to conform to that rule as far as 1 it is possible to do so consistently with the justice which I owe to you, in the allusions which I have to make to the changes which of late have been happily experienced by the agricultural interest. Whatever may have been the cause, it is in vain to deny that when last we met the farming interest was suffering severely under a depression, from which, I rejoice to know, it has at last partially risen. Now that that change has been undergone and has placed you in a better position, and enabled you to perceive that your efforts for the support of your selves and of the interest in which you are engaged hold out some hope of realising your expectations, it becomes us all to inquire what are the causes which have led to this appearance of prosperity. It is in vain to deny that some of them are beyond human control. Undoubtedly, it is rather by a dispensation of Providence than by any efforts of man that at the time when, by the effects of legis lation, you were almost deprived of the hope of maintaining that position in society which the great interests intrusted to your hands entitles you to hold, owing to the influx of gold, and its effects upon prices, aided, perhaps, in some measure by the great tide of emigration which has rolled away from our shores, the unhappy depression to which you were reduced has partially ceased. But it is also to your own great and untiring efforts that you are indebted for the relief which you now experience. (Loud cheers.) It is impos sible not to see that all that industry and per severance can do to improve the interests of the society to which they belong, has been done by the farmers of this country, as evidenced in the mag nificent display which was made this morning in the show field. We should remember also that those efforts must be continued. The causes to which I have alluded—the effect of emigration — the effect of the increase in the circulating medium caused by the quantity of gold pouring into this country from Australia and California—may still continue, to some extent, to mitigate and coun teract the evils to which you have been exposed ; but these circumstances are merely temporary, and limited in their nature and effect. Therefore it is not to them that you can trust, with any certainty, as to the future. I have never despaired of what the energies of the people, and especially of the agricultural portion of the community, can accom plish, and it was with this conviction that I ven tured to tell you, last year at Framlingham, th a t i t was not to legislation, nor to legislators, nor to Ministers, but to yourselves that you mast look for relief from the mischiefs to which you had been ex posed. I entirely agree with those who think that no prosperity can exist in any community unless the labouring classes are well kept, well provided for, and made contented. Among the principal sources of gratification with which I have viewed the late change—the late happy change—i n the situ ation and prospects of th e agriculturists, the grea t es t, per haps, has bee n th a t i t implies of necessity a gr eat improvement in the situation of the poorer classes. As long as they can obtain wages enough to pro cure not only actual subsistence in the necessaries oflife, but now an d t h en what t h ey h ave hith er t o rarely enjoyed —comf or t s and luxuries, so long we need not dread either disturbance or revolution, however much they may take place in other coun tries ; so long will that connection subsist between high and low, rich and poor, employer and em ployed, which tends to the happiness and stability of nations. (Cheers.) That your prosperity. may loisg continue, that yon may go on improving in all the arts of peace, in all that tends to the promo.ti.oa of agriculture, in all that must ultimately esta f n the sh and secure the contentment and hap Pin community, is my most earnest prayer hollun- worthy cannot so well prove that I l es Ze o l that am nothw o r kindness tedm e, than with wh ichby m a v y e h a l u w m a b y l e s nietand of su th pp e the attainment of that great end. aid, whenever and wherever I have (L h o e w iao c w he e e r, rs t . o ) len y d o in u t g The ofcompany remainingtoasts :enpatrhateed.list having been disposed WHIRLWIND AND WATERSPOUT IN THE MEDITER RANEAN.—On the 16th of August vessels sailing in the waters of Tunis were surprised by a suddenwhir a lw h i u n a d e , which threw several lad en with grain on their beam- en d s an d compelled them eventu all y to enter Tunis to righten th e ir shifted cargoes.
