SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic 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 duced snore 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 - a c q uired 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 witheat incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its coniequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional d erang ement to which the tim el y 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 a 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.

LormeN. SUMMER ATTIRE FOR ALL CLA SSES. THE FASHIONABLE SUMMER DRESS provided by E. MOSES and SON very conspicuously displays the magnitude and perfection of their unrivalled business; and during the last few weeks thousands on thousands have been fur nished with the elegancies of the season by E. MOSES and SON. The Magnificent Stock of Summer Goods has been replenished by those extraordinary resources of commercial machinery which no other tradesman in the world could either establish or keep in opera tion. Ii is now quite unnecessary to mention the surprising accom modations afforded by the gigantic Establishment of E. MOSES and SON in the City, and its magnificent branch in the West-end, for im mediate selection of Summer Dress, either to order or ready-made ; but the very economical charges made by E. MOSES and SON are the most notable affairs in the business transactions of the times. It is impossible to enumerate the Articles of Dress newly invented by E. MOSES and SON for Summer Wear, and to particularise the ap propriate styles which the most distinguished artists in the world have produced would far exceed the customary space of an adver tisement. Therefore E. MOSES and SON state that Summer Attire for every person, adult and juvenile, for every station and pursuit, for appearance in public and far comfortable wear in business or at is prepared at their Establishment, which, with every elegant l' a s r ; e li ch os a i rg er e y d ; ik el e sewhere. &e., are offered for consider tht ablyeo sc l d e l ; o p w t nr of I c T e a s t t s ri a EMIGRANTS to all climates or to any country where business provides a field for industry, and where skill is required for the accu mulation of capital, let their profession be whatever it may they will aa s u e t r fl i e t c ar s o f l n E d . MOSESn s abl and o find the most suita ble and the Chea p est Clothin g at the Establish meat E B long and perfect ; e . o pn e SON in mgr Out fitting every class of passengers is a great advantage to of i N M a O nt S , E t S he aild Em i gra nts, both in the quality and the price of the goods they require. Those who have investments to make will find the Wholesale De partment of E. MOSES and SON'S 'Establishment more advanta geous than any other trading depot in the world ; and the well kiiawn superiority of E. MOSES and SON'S manufacture renders the goods instant and profitable sale in any colony. A separa t e de partment is kept for °anti' ag.

Epulatum est, poculatum est, as the holy clerk of Cop manhurst complacently remarks, and, looking at the demonstrations of the Sheldonian Theatre on Tuesday and Thursday, we may add with good reason, conclasna tarn est too. There are limits even to the capacity of Oxford dons for rich cheer and joviality, and to the powers of speechmaking possessed by Parliamentary leaders. Things are settling down in Oxford to their ordinary quiet and somewhat sombre aspect, the last of the distinguished visitors leave with the Earl of Derby to-day, and as many of the under-graduates have now kept their term, and the festivities of the week have been rather inimical to study, a considerable number of the students also are leaving Oxford for the remaining por tion of Trinity term. Even the noble Chancellor him self must feel considerably relieved at being freed from the obligation of discussing two or three dinners, and making twice as many speeches in the course of the day. The Pembroke dinner came off last night in the hall of that college, where about eighty persons were enter tained, under the auspices of Dr. Jenner, the master. Amongst the guests w ere the Bishops of Oxford and Lincoln, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hard wicke, the Earl of Eglinton, Lord Seaton, Lord Col chester, Lord Dynevor, the Marquis of Chandos, Lord Stanley, M.P., Sir J. Pakington, M.P., Sir E. Cust, Sir R. Murchison, Mr. Grote, Professor Aytoun, the Provost of Eaton, the Dean of Winchester, and the Mayor of Oxford. Lord SEATON returned thanks for the army, and the Earl of HARDWICKE for the navy. The Master of PEMBROKE then gave the "Health of their distinguished visitor the Earl of Derby." The Earl of DERBY, in returning thanks, said he should retain to the last moment of his life the most vivid impression of the kind and flattering reception which lie had experienced at all hands on the occasion of his visit to Oxford, to assume the dignity to which he had been called by the voice of the University, Their respected president had given him credit for powers of argument and speech which his kindness was disposed to overrate, and had paid him the undeserved compliment of saying that lie was able in the conflict of Parliamentary warfare, and the strife of the most power. ful intellects in the Legislature, to deal with public questions without much previous thought upon the subject. It should be recollected that the absence of previous consideration of words was a very different thing from the absence of previous thought. (Hear, hear.) If there were a single point on which he might venture to say there was any likeness between himself and his illustrious predecessor, it was in the fact that what he said was the result of an earnest conviction of truth, and having maturely considered any subject, he trusted to the power of nature, working as it might work in any honest man, to give effective expression to what he deeply felt. (Hear, hear.) Let no man believe that much influence was to be gained in the conduct of public affairs, or much weight in the public counsels, by mere fluency of speech. (Cheers.) Of the men whom he had known in public life, those who possessed the greatest influence over their countrymen—and he would not except his illustrious predecessor himself—were men who merely possessed the power of placing their thoughts and feelings with ordinary clearness before their hearers, and of whom it was remarked, not that they sought to clothe their sentiments in any artificial dross, but that they opened their whole soul with plainness and earnestness to those whom they were seeking to convince. (Cheers.) Such was the eloquence em phatically possessed by the late Duke of Wellington ; a man who would have raised the wonder of any stranger hearing him for the first time, as to who the person was who with such hesitating and stammering accents so licited the attention of his auditory. Yet such a person would soon have found that there was something to be listened to, and that there was nothing marvellous in the fact that men should hang with rapt attention and breathless silence on every word that fell from his lips, perfectly assured that that word would be the right one, and the best that could be found to express his meaning. (Hear, hear.) Though in the highest attributes that adorned his character it would be vain to attempt to rival the Duke of Wellington, yet this he could say, without, he hoped, any misplaced feeling of self-com placency, that he would endeavour to imitate sone of those qualities which had secured him public venera tion—his unswerving principle, his determination to do his duty, his fear of falling into anything vile or base. (Loud cheers.) From the first moment at which it was suggested to him, after the death of that illustrious man, to consent to be put in nomination for an office to which his highest ambition would not have prompted him to aspire, and for which he had sedulously and anxiously abstained from asking a single opinion in his favour, no thing had occurred in his intercourse with the authorities and members of that University but what was caloulated to give trim the highest gratification. He was elected without any solicitation of his own through a prevalent and almost unanimous feeling that by allowing his name to be brought forward lie would prevent the possibility of any dissension between opposite parties, and the satisfaction he felt was enhanced by the belief that the adoption of his name might tend to promote the peace, above all the religious peace of that great university. (Cheers.) He had been received yesterday by the mem bers of his own house in a manner that he would never forget though he should live even to the age of that time-honoured and venerable personage whose hand he bad had the pleasure of grasping that day—the Presi dent of Magdalen. (Cheers.) Next to the satisfaction of renewing old recollections and friendships he placed that of forming new. For that reason he hailed with the utmost gratification the opportunity of meeting, not only those visitors who were honouring the university with their presence, but the members of that college of which, according to the statutes, the Chancellor was appointed visitor. The word " visitor" bore very dif ferent significations ; but in one sense he was quite sure that there was not a single man there who would not feel that the situation of visitor of the College of Pem broke was a most enviable ono. (Cheers and laughter.) But there were other duties devolving upon the visitor in the academic sense of the word, and he apprehended that the visitatorial functions consisted in watching over the p r ogress and fromtime to time carefully ex amining the condition of the society, in using his influence to amend that which might be amiss, to point out what deserved improvement, and to see that the spirit of the statutes was properly carried out. (Hear.) If he looked back to the period in which lie was an under-graduate of the university, and compared the pre sent state of Pembroke College with that which he re collected in his day, he certainly thought there was no ground to find fault, but, on the contrary, every reason tution. Something somewhat pharisaical pride with which the members of to congratulatetheompseerliviaespsonmtighhetihn•eogartetrsishoeftetdheteintstie entrteoalloionllcpdroevaluepeotan the smaller had • When he came to visit it that d a new range of buildings, an ti ly new found Christued college, oeb C t ebhdtuiltyr Church moreewene were e o a w t d h o e d considerable extent day, he must confess he hardly knew d wh a e n re e h n e .r w e as ; he com pany were met), followed, see preserving the old (his lordship alludeerdeettoedtliiee thatnew alrelhlitienetwurahilcltiasttheewhiehhe always wished to foundations and the old form.

The was te give ey to of the e e e v x i i s s i t t i o e r g insuch cases, he statutes le grea t es t possible latitude consistent with the clearly-ex pressedc tel intention and determ ination of th e foun der. Wh ere these intentions were clearly and definitely laid down, then lie held tha t the p ower of the visitor was i a restricted, and that it was not competent for him to depart from the directions of the founder. It was not competent for him, even for the purpose of introducing what be conceived to be an improvement to interfere with the disposition of collegiate funds, or alter the ar rangements which he found existing. The primary object was the security of appropriations left in trust for any public object. He knew there were statutes which the members of colleges were compelled to swear to uphold, and not to permit to be altered, but which it was impossible to carry into effect, because they were contrary to the laws and principles of the present day. These were cases in which it was earnestly to be desired that Parliament might interpose its supreme power, to give to those who were trustees of the colleges a per missive power to deviate from the strict letter of the statutes, for the purpose of applying the funds to pur poses clearly within the spirit if not the letter of the original endowment. (Hear, hear.) So far from being I offended or irritated, they ought to seek and to court the intervention of Parliament for giving them facilities to free themselves from shackles in which it was im possible they could move or walk freely, and to relieve themselves from obligations, compliance with which they were obliged to evade. Depend upon it that in these days that which would not bear the light must be swept away ; but if they were ready to forego some advantage for the purpose of adhering to established principle—if in introducing reformation where re formation was needful, they did not prejudice great objects, or infringe great sanctions—even those who were desirous of going further would respect their con scientious scruples. (Hear.) Thus the universities would be enabled to extend more and more widely the sphere of their influence, and to prove their capability of adapting themselves to the age in which we lived. (Hear, hear.) Though he had regretted at first the issue of the commission to inquire into the universities, he was bound to express his belief that the issue of that commission produced much good—that it had produced a spirit of inquiry in the universities themselves—dis placed much existing prejudice, and substituted for it a free spirit of improvem en t. Let the university proceed steadily and firmly to adapt itself to the exigencies of our advanced civilisation, never departing from its ori ginal landmark of attachment to the Church of England. There might be some of latitudinarian views, the advo cates of merely secular knowledge, who would be of opinion that it lagged behind the spirit of the age ; but the great mass of the country would support them, and give them strength in the approval of public opinion. Thus acting, they would never forfeit that respect which they had enjoyed since an epoch almost coeval with its constitution, and which he trusted would long continue their proud and well-deserved privilege. (Loud cheers.) The company separated shortly aftor eleven o'clock. The last installation ball took place in the Town-hall last night, and was attended by 200 persons. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Edye, Grubbe, Natt, Phillips, Beamish, Heneage, Bolton, and Davidson. The following second-masters, R.N., also passed for the rank of master :—Messrs. Drew, Parsons, and Ryan. Tho Neptune, 120, Captain E. H. Scott, was brought down from her moorings this morning, and placed in the angle dock to have her bottom examined. She is all ataunt with her sea-going gear. The Hogue, GO, screw-ship, Captain Ramsay, hauled out of dock last evening, and out of the sea-fitting basin to-day, ready to return to Spithead. The Simoorn, 18, screw troop-frigate, Captain Smith, left this evening with the 34th Regiment for their destination in the north. The Geyser, 5, steam sloop, Commander Wilson, came into harbour this morning to be repaired. Her officers and ship's company are to be turned over to the advanced pad dle sloop Vesuvius, 6. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 10. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain the Hon. H. Keppell, pointed topmasts yesterday. The frigate Sybille, 40, Captain Elliott, having been masted, was to-day taken to the jetty to be rigged. The steam sloopMagicienne P 16, Captain Thomas Fi s h er , sailed on Tuesday afternoon for Queenstown. The steam troop-ship Rhadamaithus, Master-Commander Belam, arrived yesterday from Pembroke, and is appointed to sail to-day for Woolwich. Mr. Brown, Master-Attendant, and a party of riggers and seamen, are ordered to Pembroke, to bring to Devon port the Rover brig, which will be launched on the 21st of June. The Hamoaze lighter is also ordered to Pembroke with masts and jury gear for the Rover. On Monday last the Coast Guard instructing gunners on board the Hotspur gunnery brig, under the command of Captain W. H. Kennedy, were exercised in firing blank cartridge, and on Tuesday they commenced exercise with shot. The target, which was laid out at 900 yards, con sisted of the butt-end of a spar, three feet long, tapered off at one end, with a line fast to it, having a pig of ballast attached. In the other end a staff, five feet high, was fixed, with a flag, one foot square, flying at its head. The weather was favourable, and the practice remarkably good; the flag was frequently struck, and the staff was cut in two twice. Not one shot passed ten feet clear of the target, which was made small to avoid the loss of time that would have otherwise occurred from its frequent de struction. These Coast Guard men, 30 in number, return to their respective districts , in England, Ireland, and Wales, during the week, for the purpose of instructing the whole of the force employed in the Coast Guard ser vice. They appear to be very orderly, and their proficiency goes far to prove how valuable this branch of the navy may be made for the defence of the country, afloat or ashore, when properly instructed.

WRECK OF THE AURORA OF lIULL, AND LOSS OF TIVRNTY-SIX LIVES. This vessel foundered at sea on the 20th of May, in lati tude 46 N., longitudel.3B W. We are enabled, from a re port drawn up by the captain, to furnish the full particu lars of the loss of this ill-fated vessel. The Aurora, J. Cherry, master, sailed from Hull on the 26th of April, for New York, with a crew of 18 men and 24 passengers. On the 17th of May, the ship having encountered strong ad verse winds, it was found that she was making more water than usual ; not much notice was taken of this, except that hands were kept constantly at the pumps. It was found that the leak increased, though still there seemed no groat cause of alarm. At half-past nine o'clock on the 19th, however, the pumps not sucking, the mate wont into the hold, and found the water over the ground tier of casks. All bands were then called to the pumps, and the ship was put before the wind, so that both pumps could be kept going. At midnight the leak was found to be increasing, the water having risen half way up the second tier of casks. The passengers were then called, aud, with the men, continued to work at the pumps inces santly until four in the morning of Friday, the 20th, when the ship was evidently settling down in the water, and the sea was making a complete breach over her. The stan chions and bulwarks were then cut away between the fore and main rigging to lot the water run off tho decks and to give facility for launching the boats. Food and water were prepared to be placed in the boats, and then a look-out was stationed to seellf any sail was in sight. No ship was near, however, and as it was plain the Aurora was sinking fast, some of the men began to got out the boats. The skiff was hauled out of the long boat, but as it was being lowered on to the deck, a sea broke on board and dashed the boat into some spars, stav ing in her starboard bilge, and making her useless. The stores were then got into the long boat, and a warp was passed over the larboard bow of the ship, outside the foro rigging into the gangway to the boat, leaving sufficient slack to allow her to go astern. Just as the boat was in a position for launching, a sea struck it, and stove in two planks of the larboard bilge. All hope seemed now at an end, but the master cheered the crew and passengers as much as he could, and by almost superhuman efforts they succeeded in launching the boat. Six or eight of the crew jumped into her with buckets, and began bailing her out. Two blankets were thrust over the whole, and the carpen ter stood upon them to keep them in. The boat bad now drifted to the weather quarter of the ship, and it was now found that the weight of the warp kept the boat down, and a new line was made fast to the ship, and the warp let go. The master and some more of the crew then got into the boat, and succeeded in nailing a plank over the leak, which began to abate. It was then hauled towards the ship with the view of taking the passengers aboard. The master urged those on board to lower the quarter boat, which had previously boon cast adrift. Robert Hesk and William Guest (seamen), and Charles Pawson (passenger), got into this boat, but the rope they had made fast to her was too short to get her clear of the ship, and they wore obliged to slip it. They had, how ever, only one oar, and the boat was unmanageable. Those on board the ship and those in the long-boat each threw them an oar, but they could not reach them. The long-boat, however, was hauled close , to the ship and made fast. The rope used, however, was too short, and, be fore the evil could be remedied a sea struck the boat, causing it to ship a great quantity of water, and when the sea receded from the ship, the sudden jerk broke the rope anti drove the long-boat off. The crew attempted to pull her to the ship, but owing to the quantity of water in her they could not succeed. They then left off pulling, and began bailing the boat out ; aud while they were doing so, those on board the ship pulled up the ensign as a signal of distress, and the ship went down immediately, head foremost, taking with her twenty-six souls. This occurred at eight in the morning. The jolly-boat was lost sight of during the night, and on Saturday the crew of the long boat were picked up by the Volusia, M`Nab, of Belfast, from Havaonah for Greenock, where they arrived safely.

More than 1,000 persons went down to Sydenham yesterday, and the excitement and pleasure visible in every face furnished fair indications of what the public delight will be when the new Palace and its grounds are rendered accessible to all. The undertaking of the company is only an enlarged application of the same self-supporting principle upon which the growing intelligence of the people now manifestly rests for sup port ; and it seems difficult to set bounds to what may be accomplished in this material age (with mechanical facilities so abundant) by such an agency. In order that it may be understood what is being ac complished at Sydenham on a strict commercial basis, it seems only necessary to describe, as far as the limits of description go, what was seen during the visit of yester day. The visitors were received at the entrance by Mr. Laing, the chairman of the company, Mr. Owen Jones, Mr. Digby Wyatt, and other chief officers. They first proceeded to view the plans and drawings of the building and park, which, for magnitude and splendour of con ception, far transcend not only the original, but any thing that has ever been attempted in the shape of a per manent structure dedicated to purposes of the kind. If the old building was a miracle of mechanical facility, the present one is shown, by these plans of Sir Joseph Pax ton's, to be still more surprising in that respect, while its commanding site, its enormous proportions finely diver sified, and its details of internal and external embellish ment give enlarged impressions of the spirit in which it is being carried out. Whatever may be attempted or realised elsewhere, it is quite certain, looking at the drawings of what the whole will be when completed, that in no other country, and in no other city of the civilised world, could such a structure be raised by such resources and dedicated to such objects. Nothing short of a population like that of London could justify the undertaking ; and, looking at it as a commercial speculation, it seems impossible too highly to applaud the magnificence of a general design which has evi dently been framed to compel success. Having carefully examined the drawings which were to help them to a conception of what the whole would be when completed, the visitors passed into courts and galleries, wherein a crowd of bearded artists labour in tently to prepare the illustrations of architecture and sculpture gathered from every school, and setting forth in connected series the entire history of art. Of course these objects are seen to a great disadvantage at pre sent, without arrangement, and the smallest details of the workshop in progress under one's eye. Sphinxes submitting in solemn pomp to the paintbrush, equestrian statues showing the jointings of the cast, Egyptian dei ties unceremoniously fashioned in open day by the mo deller, and busts of the mighty dead lying in the most undignified positions,—these, and a thous an d oth er evi dences of unpreparednes s , told the visitors that they were behind the scenes, and not entitled to be critics. They had to draw upon their fancy for a just conception of what the whole would be when completed—when the monumental records of civilisation, traced from the banks of the Nile through G reece an d Rome and the Lower Empire, are seen transmitted to modern times, and ex panding with the development of nations into schools and styles, each of which, compared with the other and with the types of excellence from which they all spring, will no doubt afford to the sculptors and architects of this country opportunities of observation such as have never been equalled. It is rather a remarkable consi deration, in connection with this part of the undertaking at Sydenham, that the least artistic people of Europe are, by their commercial enterprise and their zeal for popular instruction, able to form a gallery more com prehensive, and therefore more effectual in giving to the public taste a true and healthy direction than any foreign Government has been able to bring together. We are bringing the mechanical facilities which we pos sess to bear upon a great scale in rendering accessible to the humblest classes not the chief works of a particular school, but the choicest examples of all. Through the unavoidable confusion of objects yesterday these consi derations rose plainly on the mind. Looking down from the galleries, the different courts into which the whole collection is to be distributed suggest the historical ar rangement which they will finally assume. These courts are now rapidly growing into shape, and that for Egyptian art is already drawing towards it models of temples, reproductions of rock-hewn images, and pillars indented with hieroglyphics. Six lions— grouped on either side—guard the entrance of this department from the nave, and, within a colossal form, newly modelled, by the Italian sculptor Monti, indicates what the style of internal decoration will be. The de signs and drawings of the manner in which the different courts are to be fitted up were exhibited yesterday to the visitors both by Mr. Owen Jones and Mr. Digby Wyatt; the splendid collection made by these gentlemen abroad, so far as it has been unpacked, was also examined with interest. It would serve no purpose, at the present time, to notice with much specialty the extraordinary works now uncovered. But the Mayors and the repre sentatives of Institutions will, no doubt, carry back with them to the country a lively remembrance of them. Victories distributing their laurels, Venuses and Graces and Eves, by the greatest masters, the chef-d'oeuvres of the most celebrated sculptors, the busts of the most oele brated men, f r iezes and tombs and relievos, and monu mental effigies, equestrian statues, casts from the life, copies of the finest objects in all the greatest European galleries—such things are not to be seen, even in the most confused and disordered manner, without leaving a strong impression on the mind. Leaving the galleries and courts in which the labours connected with the fine arts department are prosecuted, , the visitors passed into fhe nave of the building, and there realised the magnitude of its proportions —so difficult to convey a just conception of in any other way. Since we last noticed its progress it has been advanced many stages towards completion, but so vast is the amount of work comprised in it that the nearer it approaches to being finished the more over whelming seems the quantity of labour still to be got through. Now the weather permits Mr. Henderson to put forth his entire strength, and, with the able assist ance of Mr. Cochrane, he does wonders, and does them well to. The western is half more forward than the eastern, and the arched roof is up as far as the centre transept. At the other end, also, a good number of the semicircular ribs are in their places. A large proportion, not only of the flooring, but of the glazing, and even the painting, is finished, and owing to the simultaneous way in which the work is done it is more advanced than it appears to be. It is also efficiently done, one great proof of this being that there is no leakage from the roof, while the whole details of construction preserve the same fairy like lightness of character which formed the charm of the old building. Nothing seems to have been left undone to render the structure as permanent as need be. Standing on the crest of the hill, of enormous height and transparent in every part, one would fancy, looking at it from without, that the first storm would sweep it entirely from its site ; but it is probably stronger than any of our cathedrals, to the architectural effect of which, with its transepts and towers, it bears some analogy. No structure in the world, however, comes within many degrees of it in point of grandeur, either externally or internally. One only requires to go and look at it to be convinced of that. While the simplicity and magnitude of its proportions are carefully preserved, sufficient variety is secured in every part of the design to avoid that sense of monotony which the constant repetition of parts in the old build ing tended to create. The noble elevation of the site, added to the effect of the lofty semicircular roof, brings the vast length more within the range m the eye, and when the wings and side towers, which have hardly yet been touched, are up, there now remains not a doubt that this Palace of Crystal will not only reflect credit on the company to which it belongs, and on those who de signed and co ns t ruc t e d it, b u t be worthy of the people to whose use it is mainly dedicated, and, without ex aggeration, forms one of the wonders of the world. The park, with its terraces and fountains, its avenues, slopes, and parterres, did not escape yesterday the curi osity and admiration of the visitors. Sir Joseph Paxton, and the contractors under him, have brought this part of the work into a very forward state. It is no matter of difficulty now to conceive what the grounds will be when complete, but mere description can convey no ade quate idea of it. On one bank now in process of forma tion 200,000 spectators can sit, and all have a perfect view of a display of fountains more than four times that of Versailles on grand days, could it be seen put to gether. This single illustration will give, perhaps, a clearer conception of the scale on which the park is laid out than a multiplicity of details. If more is wanted to astonish, the materials for doing so will be found in those monstrous forms belonging to elder worlds which Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins is preparing. The Icthyosaurus, the Iguanadon, and the other gigantic tenants of this planet before man's introduction upon the scene, will surely fill full the attractions of the New Palace. Placed upon the geological formations in which their bones are found imbedded, and throwing some light, however faint, upon the earliest and sublimest pages in the History of Creation, these embodiments of the re searches of such men as Owen and Cuvier form a remark able feature in the general plan of this great enterprise for the instruction and amusement of the people. PROBABLE PRODUCE OF WHEAT NEXT HARVEST.—The following calculation has been furnished by a party who has been half a century in the trade :—Average esti mated produce of wheat in the United Kingdom, 23,750,000; estimated produce in 1853, owing to the short quantity planted, and being spring sown instead of autumn, 15,000,000 ; 8,750.000, to which add average import of breadstuffs, since 1849, 1,177,757 ; quantity .required between harvests of 1853 and 1854 of bread. stuffs, 16,927,757 quarters.

A numerous company, including ninny ladies, assembled at the house of the society be fore 4 o'clock, and precisely at half-past 4, the time named when Prince Albert, the President of the society, was to take the chair, his Royal Highness arrived and assumed that position. The Prince was received with marked respect and cordiality. His ROYAL HianNEse said—Ladies and gentlemen, three years have now elapsed since this society last dis tributed its medals and awarded its prizes. The inter. ruption that took place was owing to the Great Exhibi tion of 1851, which caused so much excitement and in terest and claimed such a large share of the public atten tion. The society took so honourable a part in that new inventions which will be brought before you to-day, u that the inventive genius as well as the skill of this h great ope y evento will th that it o o need nio o not ed, be fr or works t o of to art it. acid , country is making rapid strides. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness then called upon Mr. Say, the secretary, to read his report upon the operations and position of the society. This report stated : " Since the last general meeting of the society for the distribution of premiums three years have elapsed, takueint progress orapidly chronicle society he and this peri o d h as cer t a i n l y no t b een th e le as t e ve ntful portion of th e hi s t ory of t h e soc i e t y, w h e th er th e sub jects which h ave occup i e d t h e w h o l e b o d y, or th e exer tions of th e i n di v i dual members, are considered.

The share which this society had in th e p rogress o f the Great Exhibition will be recorded in the history o f our country ; it is known to all, nh t ythe and, in truth, it w ou ld h ar dl y b e necessary now to refer to it, were it not that severa l o f t h e prizes now about to be awarded relate di rec tl y t o th e Great Exhibition , and further, that the va r i e d an d i mportant services connected with it, which for ne ar ly t wo years occupied many of our most active members, h ave t o a cons i derable extent inter fered with and modifi e d the prize lists of th e l ast three years. In the year 1851, th e or di nary pr i ze list of the so ciety was altogether suspended, and, in place o f it, special premiums connected wholly wi th th e E xh i bition were of fered. It must not be supp ose d, h owever, that in conse quence of the time and att en ti on th us devoted to these particular subjests the othe r b ranc h es o f the society ' s ope rations have been abandon e d or neg l ected. On the con trary, it is probable that in n o th ree years of the last cen tury has the society done more t o a d vance t h e true interests of the arts, manufactures, and commerce o f the country than it has in the last three sessi ons .

When the report was concluded his Royal Highness distributed the prizes to the successful competitors. The ceremony being concluded, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose, and said he pro posed to detain the company for a few moments in order that they might concur in what he was sure they unani mously desired—a proposal to pass a vote of thanks to his Royal Highness for his attendance that day and his conduct in the chair. (Applause.) In making this pro posal, he did not do it merely out of respect to the position which the Prince occupied—the highest position which a subject could occupy—but more especially in reference to the claims which he had upon the society. He (the noble Marquis) need not enlarge upon the many virtues of the illustrious Prince who occupied the chair. They were too well known to require this, but he wished to advert more particularly to the efforts made by him in behalf of the objects of the society —objects calculated to have a material effect upon the prosperity of the country. Not a year had elapsed since he (the noble Marquis) had had the opportunity of meeting many of those then present, but even in that short period there had been many improvements in arts and manu factures —new inventions, or new applications of old principles. Enlightened feelings and activity of mind characterised the age, but all this exertion and activity would be wasted if there were not some central attrac tion round which luminous bodies might revolve and diffuse light over every country. His Royal Highness had given the requisite impetus to art and invention by his zealous assistance in promoting every department of it. This zeal had been frequently evinced, but never snore usefully than upon the present occasion. Feeling convinced that all would acknowledge the benefits arising to art and science from the countenance and patronage of his Royal Highness, he begged to move a vote of thanks to him for his presence upon that occasion. Lord COLBORNE, in seconding the vote of thanks to Prince Albert, expressed his concurrence with all that had been said by the noble marquis, and said that he was sure they would all feel grateful for the proof of the interest evinced by his Royal Highness in the cause of art and science by his presence that day. The proposal was enthusiastically agreed to by al present. Prince ALBERT rose and said,—l thank you for your very kind expressions, but I confess that the terms used and the feeling exhibited towards me have made me blush. In coming here to award the prizes I have only done my duty as president of the society—a duty which is at all times a pleasant one to me. Prince Albert then left the chair, and the company separated. of f es t ly e s b c o o o l ii t s - DOVER SAILORS' 1101 IE.—Her Majesty the Quee has just presented a valuable ox of books . to the Dove British and Foreign Sailors' Reading-rom.n. fe com mands in the library of the institution.
