reason rotten.' " Beyond this solitary remark there is little or nothing characteristic in Sir Walter's letters. The rest of the number is made up of epistles to " Sylvanus Urban," of net use " except to the parties interested" OS our reporters say sometimes of a case in the Law Courts), and reviews of a few recent pub. lications—the major portion of which have al ready, we grieve to state, died " the death of the righteous"---that is to say, in a quiet, gentle man-like fashion, without the slightest noise or bustle. THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. No. XXX SECOND SERIES. A most interesting number, which will repay the sportsman the trouble of reading some rainy day, for trouble we know reading to be thought by all good sportsmen when they can be doing, Firelock's Journal has afforded us a great treat, and we would willingly make an extract from it did we not fear that its necessary length—for to cut short one of his day's sport would be to spoil it--would weary those of our readers not lovers either of shooting or hunting. THE GARDENER'S MAGAZINE. BY J. C. LOUDON. No. XLI. Mr. Loudon has, as usual, contrived to col lect together a vast number of interesting com munications upon the subject of horticulture, illustrated by many wood-cuts and engravings. One of the most remarkable articles is one de scribing a method of procuring two crops of potatoes and one of cabbages from the same ground in one year, but it is too long for us to extract. The two following paragraphs will be found generally entertaining and useful CANKER ON YOUNG FRUIT TREES.—Three years ago, I was much annoyed at finding several young pear trees one mass of disease from top to bottom ; which, I conceive. must have been infected when sent to me, three years be fore, as they were planted in the best of soil. On re ferring to a work on gardening, I found some palliatives recommended ; but it was observed that the most effective plan was, to take up the tree and plant a fresh one. I did not much like throwing away three years' growth of roots, Which, I knew, bad been extending themselves under every advantage of soil ; and I thought of cutting off the heads to within one foot of the ground, and inserting healthy grafts from other varieties. I was told this could he of no avail, inasmuch as the sap, passing through the diseased trunk, would infect the grafts. On consideration, this did not appear to me to be a necessary consequence, as the qualities of the chyle (if I may so term it) secreted from the descending sap, to which the future tree would be indebted for its growth, would depend much more on the scion than the stock. I determined, at all events, to try the experiment, and headed down and grafted several trees. It has exceeded my most sanguine expectations. The new heads are of extraordinary growth ; three of them have born well this year ; the wood of all is ex tremely vigorous and healthy, and without any symptom of disease of any kind. Many of your scientific readers have probably performed the same experiment, on the same process of reasoning ; but, as the result was contrary to the anticipations of several experienced gardeners, I Communicate it, in the hope of saving many a useful though cankered stock from destruction." "A Goon ALE MAY BE MADE FROM THE ROOTS OF MANGOLD WURZEL IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER : Take one third of malt, two thirds of mangold wurzel liquor, and about a fifth part of treacle, adding hops at the rate of six ounces to nine gallons. Barrel and work with Yeast in the usual manner. The mangold wurzel liquor is thus obtained: clear the roots, pare off the outer rind, Slice and boil till they are quite soft, and then squeeze off the liquor." The LEGAL EXAMINER and MONTHLY REVIEW of JURISPRUDENCE. 'We see that this Journal has, during the Present month, been labouring in the cause which we noticed on our last Magazine Day" its having taken up, we mean, that of Mr. St. %John Long. We regret to see that some of the medical gentlemen, ‘vhose characters this / ow periodical went out of its way to attack, have condescended to notice its aspersions. This may answer the object of The Legal Examiner—that of obtaining notoriety—but Will not convince its editor of error. Doubtless he has sufficient reasons for sacrificing the cha racter of his publication in defence of a person like Mr. Long. THE ASIATIC JO URNAL, No. IX. NEW SERIES. This Journal was sent us too late to give us tune to do more than glance at one or two of the articles, and we do Hot choose to hazard our critical character by pronouncing °I-Ir opinion in tl►e dark. We only say, therefore, that the continuation of the " Con fessions of an Eurasian" is better than the first part, which appeared last month. Should we, however, have time to peruse the number through, and meet with anything ver y interesting, we shall quote it, as in duty bound. UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. No. XLXIX. We are grieved to say that our excellent f riends of the United Service Journal have shared no better fate than the Asiatic.

Up to two o'clock this afternoon, no public accounts had been received either at the French or the Belgian Embassy from Antwerp. The non-arrival of news has excited much surprise. It was stated in some of the French Papers which arrived yesterday, that the King of SPAIN had recovered his health, and resumed the direction of public affairs. Nothing official to confirm this statement has been received at the Foreign-office, or by Prince TALLEYRAND. A Morning Paper states that Lord PAL MERSTON is about to recognise the Portuguese Regency. We wish we could confirm this piece of intelligence, but we cannot find that matters have proceeded so far as to justify the statement. Lord PALMERSTON has, indeed, expressed great indignation at the conduct of the Miguelites ; and the communications from Spain by removing the chief obstacle as signed for the non-recognition in the first in stance, afford our Government a fair oppor tunity of asserting its own dignity and fulfil ling the spirit of the treaties by which we are bound to the House of Braganza, without the necessity of any reference to the continental Powers, who ought not indeed to be permitted to exercise the slightest influence on the Por tuguese question. It is well known that the Cabinet has been for some time divided on this interesting subject, and that Lord PAL MERSTON has frequently expressed himself willing to recognise the Regency, insinuating, however, that there were obstacles to that course in the Cabinet, over which he had no control. We believe au attempt was even made to throw the blame of non-recognition upon Lord BROUGHAM, and the agents of Don PEDRO in this country for a long time suffered under that delusion. It is due to the character of the Noble Lord alluded to to state, that he was the first Member of the Cabinet to whom Don PEDRO applied for assistance on his ar rival in this country, and that so far from meeting with the slightest repulse, the gallant officer, Sir JOAN MILLET DOYLE, who con veyed to Lord BROUGHAM the wishes of the EMPEROR, experienced a warm reception, and left the Noble Lord with a full conviction of his great anxiety to put an end to the infamous system of misrule in Portugal. That Lord BROUGHAM was sincere, does not, we think, admit of a moment's doubt ; for, looking at the entire conduct of that Nobleman, since his acces sion to power, we find in it abundant proofs of generous and liberal feeling. Neither would we say that Lord PALMERSTON was insincere, but we cannot help observing that if he had been as anxious to find an excuse for interfering in favour of I)ou PEDRO, as he appears to have been to find reasons for maintaining the non intervention system, the events of the last twelve months would have furnished him with many motives for the assumption of a more dignified course. It is rather extraordinary that the Minister who has discovered so many reasons For interfering between Holland and Belgium, could find none for interrupting the reign of, the monster of Portugal. Whilst on this subject, we may notice the contradiction made a few days ago by a Treasury print, to our assertion, that the French Govern ment had, through Prince TALLEYRAND, inti mated a desire to see something done for the cause of Don PEDRO. We repeat, upon no slight authority, that Prince TALLEYRAND has earnestly exerted himself in every possible way in favour of the Regency. An express has been received from Paris this I morning, bringing the papers of Thursday and the Messager des Chambers, dated yesterday. Their contents are of very little interest, being prin cipally filled with comments on the result of the Belgian question, and the Address to the Throne. The Carlist and Revolutionary Jour. nals accuse M. DUPIN of truckling to the Doc trinnaires and Juste Milieu, as he has declared that sooner than see France in a state of anarchy again, he would consent to join the Ministry of Marshal SOULT. A Cabinet Council, at which all the Ministers were present, was held on Thursday, in con sequence of a very important telegraphic de spatch, received from Marshal GERARD, announcing that the citadel of Antwerp had been summoned ; but that General CHASSE positively declared that he would sooner reduce the city to ashes, and blow up the citadel, than surrender. The bombardment was imme diately to take place. Marshal GERARD has, it is confidently asserted, intimated that he must resign the command of the army, if the French troops were not allowed to take possession of the city, so as to carry his plan of attack into execu tion. The whole of the heavy artillery was under the walls of Antwerp, but the Belgian Government was opposed to any operations taking place from the city side. This misunderstanding, it is feared, may lead to a very unfavourable re sult, as the troops began to feel disappointed. Extraordinary expresses were, immediately after the deliberation of the Council, sent off to King LEOPOLD and Marshal GERARD. Important news from the army was hourly expected at Paris. The Funds were not much affected by this in telligence, as it was fully expected. They closed at Wednesday's quotations. Paris con tinues tranquil ; but the greatest anxiety is felt for the result of this war against Holland. The Dutch papers, of the 28th, contain a Royal message from the King of HOLLAND to the States• General, announcing the calling out of the landstrum. The character of this mes sage is of the old, unleaven grain of stubborn ness. Up to Thursday the citadel of Antwerp had not been summoned, but preparations were actively going on among the French. Copious extracts respecting these matters will be found in another part of The Sun. VICE CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) BY FIELD V. PROVIS. Mr. RUSSELL was heard on behalf of the defendant to-day, on this part-heard case, and Sir EDWARD SUGDEN replied. The bill was filed for the specified performance of an agreement for a lease, and the question on the cause chiefly depended upon the fact of partnership, or no part nership, and also upon certain matters of account totally devoid of any interest whatever to the public. His HONOUR decreed the specific performance with costs. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) HILL V. COIIBE, ESQ. Sir JAMES SCARLETT stated the case for the plaintiff. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, Ann Hill, to re cover a compensation in damages from the Sheriff of Surrey and his assistants, for an assault and false imprisonment. The defendant had pleaded that the plaintiff had personated another person, against whom a writ had been issued, and placed in their bands to be executed. - It appeared from the plaintiff's witnesses that the plain. tiff was a set vant to Colonel Wyndham, who resided at Merton. In July, 1831, she had occasion to go to a poulterer's shop at Tooting, about a mile and a half distant, and was driven there by the Colonel's groom. In going there, a gig, with two men in it, was observed fol lowing, and they all arrived at the poulterer's shop toge ther. One of the men then got out of the gig, and accosting the plaintiff, asked her " if she lived with Cul.Wyndham ?" She replied she did, and one of them (an officer of the Sheriff of Surrey) produced a writ and took her to town. It also appeared that Colonel Wyndham bad a Spanish lady, Madame Cassagne, living under his protection, who had some time before lived with a person named Le Clerc, until be became reduced in circumstances. Colonel Wynd ham allowed Madame Cassagne a sum of money to distribute among distressed persons, and among them was this Le Clerc, whom she was at last obliged to refuse to assist any further, from the frequent demands made by him upon her. Le Clerc afterwards swore to a debt of 2001. as owing to him by Madame Cassagne, and the writ being put into the hands of two officers of the Sheriff of Surrey, named Richard and John Cox, it was executed upon the plaintiff by mistake for Madame Cassagne in the manner before &scribed. The case had proceeded at some length, when, in con sequence of the absence of a material witness to prove an important part of the case, Sir J. SCARLETT consented to a nonsuit.

Extract from the Agent to Lloyd's at St. Petersburgh, dated Nov. 13 :—" Our river navigation is at an end ; the bridge was carried away by the ice the day before yes. terday. The frost has been pretty severe, and it is to be apprehended that several British ships must winter, and farther arrivals are very doubtful. The water has been low for several days past, and the wind from the east ward. Nov. 14.—1 make the following to be the British ships remaining at Cronstadt, as not advised as having sailed :—The Ythan, Law ; Thomson, Langley; Hope well, White; Confidence, Windt; Lara, Buddie; Crown, Stewart ; Lord Nelson, Cutting; Terrys, Parkin; El liots, Taylor ; Mary, Frost ; and Royal William, Joy. The weather is less frosty to-day, and it blows fresh from the South. An attempt was made to get over to Cron. stadt on Sunday by a gentleman, who left Oraneinbautn on Wednesday morning. He saw several vessels off the Molebead, which could not make progess on account of the calm." PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 29.—The Royal Adelaide trans port, which attempted to take out 40 horses for Don Pedro, returned this morning with the loss of nearly or quite half of them, not having been able to get into Oporto, in consequence of the fire of the battery Miguel has erected on the point at the south entrance of the river. The Adelaide arrived off the port on the 15th, and left it on the 22,1, during the whole of which time she had no communication with the city or any of Don Pedro's officers ; she attempted to enter the river on the 19th, with the Raven man-of. war cutter, and two cutters laden with stores and recruits for Don Pedro ; but 26 well.directed shots from Don Miguel's battery, and at the same time a cross-fire from a battery on the north point, which they could not tell whether it belonged to Pedro or Miguel, warned them all to return, and no other opportu nity offered for their going in. Nothing was seen of Sartorius's squadron, or of the English squadron. The Adelaide heard from a Portuguese pilot, whom they were obliged to run away with, that Pedro had made a sortie on the 17th, which was crowned with brilliant success ; but, brilliant as it may be, it had not opened the entrance of the Douro, or raised its blockade five days afterwards, — in fact, he must be in a bad plight. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Bombay papers, to July 8, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. Accounts from Madras state that some disturbances had taken place at Viz canagarum, but we are unable to give the particulars as yet. The 3d regiment will, however, embark on board the ships Neptune and Royal William, to sail for the above place. The papers the state they have heard, with much re gret, of serious disturbances at Cuddapah, where Charles Macdonald, of the civil service, was wounded by the infu riated moormen. NDIGO. —Another public sale of damaged chests took place. OPIUM.-We know of no transactions, and believe that those last reported were not real.

According to an express this morning from Brussels and Antwerp, the public may expect every hour to hear of the roaring of the cannon at Antwerp, as the citadel was to be summoned on Friday. We may anticipate the answer of General Chasse a refusal ; when, no doubt, immediately after, the French cannon will commence its destruction. Perhaps, ere a few hours, we may have accounts from Ostend of the cannonade being heard there, when it will be immediately conveyed over to this country. We have no other arrivals of importance as yet. Consols opened at the sime price they left off yesterday, 83i it, for the Account. No business doing as yet. The Foreign Market is also inactive. A sloop of has arrived from Vera Cruz. It is stated she has on board 700,000 dollars. The packet was to sail in a few days with 150,000 dollars on board. HALF-PAST ONE. We have seen a letter from the Hague, dated the 26th and 27th ult., from a person in an official character. He states that there is not the least hope at present of hosti lities not taking place. In a postscript dated on the 27th, he adds that he received letters from Amsterdam, stating that all kinds of pacific reports were in circulation there, such as an armistice with the Belgians, taking off the embargo in England, but all these reports are loooked upon here (at the Hague) as Stock jobbing pur. poses, and our determination to hold out, remains as firm as ever. Consols are at present 534 g for the account, with little doing ; no further news as yet from the theatre of war. In the foreign market Dutch Stock has rather im proved, owing to their corning, 1 per Cent. higher from Holland. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for Account, 1331 CLOSING PRICES. FOUR O'CLOCK.

May your Lordship live for ever." Astonished to find that, month after month, his gratuities produced no change in the wording of her apostrophe, Lord L. one day accosted her :—" My good woman, you appear very earnest for the coTinuinc e o f my d ays ; have you any particular in terest my preservation ?" "To be sure I have," cried the old woman ; I recollect your uncle, Sir James, when he owned the estate and ruled over us ; and a bitterer enemy to the poor never broke bread. Then came your father' who was a still blacker curse to us; and everybody said we could never be worse off.

THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE, " OT TERBOURNE."--.“ The Battle of Otterbourne is an ex cellent subject for an Historical Romance. Its interest is more than usually national, inasmuch as the opponents of the English its that hard-foughten field were inhabitants of the same island, people owning a like origin with our selves, and speaking, with but slight difference, the same Saxon tongue. In the border-feuds, therefore, between the English and Scotch, the old saying, < When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war,' was strictly ap. plicable, and, perhaps, no conflicts in modern times, were more fertile than these in stirring incidents, chivalrous deeds, feats of individual prowess, or in all the circum stances of war in which romance delights to dwell. The author of this very striking story, is destined to occupy a distingushed place as an historical novelist.".—Morning Post. DR. JOHNSON.—The. following original picture of the personal appearance of Dr. JOHNSON, at an advanced period of life, is from the pen of Madame n'AaBLA v, in her recent life of her father, Dr. BURNEY. He is, indeed, very ill-favoured; yet he has naturally a no ble figure, tall, stout, grand, and authoritative; but he stoops horribly; his back is quite round ; his mouth is continually opening and shutting, as if he were chewing something ; he has a singular mode of twirling his fingers and twisting his hands ; his vast body is in constant agi tation, see-sawing backwards and forwards; his feet are never a moment quiet ; and his whole great pers,m often looks as if it were going to roll itself, quite voluntarily, from his chair to the floor." The attempt at raising a new loan for Russia, which was mentioned a few days back as having failed at the west end of the town, is now understood to be transferred to the city—a much more suitable spot for such an enterprise, but with little, if any, better prospects of success. The houses of the first class in the city of London, those of ROTHJCHILD and BARING, for example, are already too deeply embarked in Russian securities to engage in a contract for a new loan, which, with what ever pretext put forth, would be liable to the strongest suspicion, if not the certainty, of a warlike object. If would be to those houses probably more injurious to assist in such a project, by the consequences it would have on their other investments, than any gain by the contract itself could compensate for. They would require explicit assurances, or pledges, from the Russian Government that war was not in the most distant way contemplated; and even then the terms they could with safety offer would be highly unfavourable, and suited to that risk of a general war which every man feels to exist. Thus the Russian Go vernment, if really requiring such loan for a pacific pur pose, would find it so much for its interest to wait till the affair of Holland and Belgium is disposed of, that the very pressing it now would carry with it the suspicion of bad faith in that respect. If the raising money for a warlike purpose were really the object in view, there would exist a much better chance of success by openly declaring it, as the contract would then be taken, if at all, at what is termed a war price, and the contractor would be enabled to speculate on the chances that war might, after all, be avoided. To houses of the second class the manage ment of such a loan is out of the question, sod alto gether it may be safely affirmed that the attempt to raise a Russian loan in the city has no better chance ut success than it bad among the west•and bankers and ca• pi talists. 1 . .:. if _..~„~:> -. NEW ST EAM - CARRIAG4I _ i ilfr ; 4 A steam-carriage, constructed by Colonel triyaQt:__ Mr. J. Squire, Paddington-wharf, and which F:43‘ei,*433 , be, by the superiority of its peculiar boiler, and t. fication of its machinery, a decided improvement on all former vehicles of that description, has been exhibited for some time past in the neighbourhood of Paddington. We hove out in it a few days ago along the Harrow-road, with, in all, eleven persons. The utmost velocity on level ground was near ten miles an hour ; a part of the road covered with a coating of loose wet pebbles was crossed at rate of about eight miles, and the bridge over the Grand Junction Canal, where the steep is rather a smart one, at four or five miles an hour. It ought to be observed, that at this time the first fire was burning, and that therefore the boiler might not have been heated to its maximum. The j,,lting was not much greater than an ordinary stage-coach. When moving rapidly the noise of the engine was lost in that of the carriage, but became observable to the passenger; is soon as the speed diminished. Some of the horses on the Harrow-road shied on seeing it. The appearance of the vehicle, its boiler and grate being covered with a cast tug of sheet-iron, and surmounted by a short chimney, ,eemed to be the cause of this, as there was no smoke per ceptible. But on running down the Edgware-road, fol. lowed by a delighted crowd of boys and girls, it caused n tlarm to the horses there. The command of the con ductor over it was remarkable. Its speed was readily diminished, short turns were made with apparent ease, and hills were descended at a satisfactory pace. The whole distance travelled was about five miles, and in performing •his 3.4ths of the first supply of coke were expended. We were not able to witness the results of the second fire. On setting out, the proprietor stated that the ;pressure on the boiler was 3001 b. the square inch, and the pressure on the pistons neatly the same. The weight of the whole vehicle when ready to move, with its supply of fuel and water, was stated by him at 2/ tons. Weight of the boiler 17 cwt., thickness 3-16th of an inch, usual quan tity of water in it 20 gallons, utmost distance ever tra velled with one supply of fuel and water near 12 miles; ut most cost of fuel per mile 4d., diameter of the (two) pis tons 7 inches each, piston stroke 16 inches ; the length of the steam-pipe, which he asserts does not affect the power at the working point, seemed to us about 12 feet. De scending from the boiler, it turns horizontally, runs under the body of the vehicle to the conductor's seat, then turns backward at rather a sharp curve, and enters the cylin ders. The pistons are connected with a frame, which rests on one pair of vet) , free elastic springs, placed at the front of the carriage. The boiler rests on much stronger ones, but also elastic. It may be necessary to mention this, as it has been said that in steam.earriages the springs have been springs only in name. The boiler is not tu bular, but the proprietor declines stating its peculiar na 'ure until be has secured a patent. One circumstance stated by him is remarkable. He positively declares that though his steam-carriage has worked, on an average, four fir five days a-week since last June, it has not yet cost him t penny for repairs, excepting the charge for one new set of fire bars.—Morning Paper. THE ROYAL SOCIETY. The annual election of President and the other office rs , f the above Society, took place yesterday, when his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was unanimously re elected President. The members of the Society subsequently dined together at the Crown and Anchor Tavern; his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex in the chair. There was also present nearly 80 of the most distinguished ejentific and profes sional gentlemen of the metropolis, amongst whom we noticed the President of the Royal Academy, Sir M. A. Sher, Sir Robert Inglis, M.P., Sir D. Barry, Lord Churchill, Davis Gilbert, Esq. (late President of the Royal Society), Sir William Russell, Sir John Rennie, Thomas Chantrey, E q., R.A., Dr. Sutherland Hudson Gurney, E•q., Mr. Lubbock, George Rennie, Esq., Farraday, Esq., - Carlisle, Esq., of the Anti quarian Society, A. B. Lambert, Esq., &c. Shortly after six o'clock the company sat down to an excellent dinner, served in the best style, and the wines were of the first quality. Upon the removal of the cloth, his ROYAL HIGHNESS, in proposing the health of his Majesty, stated that he had that morning received a communication from the King, in which his Majesty gave directions for the continuance of the two annual Gold Medals as rewards to the Society, w hich had been originally given by his late Majesty.—(Cheers.) The King's health was then drunk with enthusiasm, as likewise that of her Majesty and the rest of the Royal Mr: LUBBOCK (the Treasurer) proposed the health of his Royal highness the Duke of Sussex, their President. He congratulated the Society on the unanimity which now existed amongst its members, compared with the state of things previously to his Floyd Highness becoming their President. As one present at the Council, he (Mr. Lubbock) could bear testimony to the deep interest which his Royal Highness took in the prosperity of the So ciety, and the attention he paid to individuals' opinion in every thing relating to the promotion of its welfare. Instead of personal influence being at all exercised in the office of Pre. sident, as regarded the decisions of the Council upon works submitttd for their judgment, it was now regulated I y appointed Committees of three or five persons, best able to form an unbiassed opinion on the merits of such pro ductions. Charges had been brought against the Society fur not giving sufficient encouragement to scientific pur suits, but those charges could not now be supported against the President and Council, for they had to decide on the opinions laid before them. The Society was one of the oldest in this country, fur the encouragement of science, and had tended to the promotion of ttnowledge more than any other. Their Royal President, by the able and judicious performance of his duties, had raised the Society very much in public estimation, and he hoped the Members would support those principles which his Royal Highness had expressed that day. He concluded by pro_ posing the health of the Duke of Sussex, which was drunk with enthusiasm. His ROYAL HIGIINESS returned thanks for the flatter ing manner in which his health had been drunk. He would repeat what he had said in the early part of the thy—that the scientific character of the country was as sociated with the proceedings of this Society. He had only in view the promotion and protection of this inva luable institution, and its rank in the eyes of other coun tries. He deprecated, in the strongest terms, all party feeling in an institution devoted entirely to the promotion of scientific knowledge, and wish e d to see preva il t h e b est feelings amongst a body of enlight e n e d men so numerous, but who ought at all times to form but one family. It was by discussion only that they could arrive at the truth, Ind he hoped always to see those discussions conduct, 1 with perfect good humour. Since he had had the honor& ,o preside, and during the last year in particular, t bet had not at any one meeting passed an angry word, but the Members bad invariably separated with the best feeling. —(Cheers.) Their object was philosophical improve ment, and the life of man was too short to:waste titre :a ill-tempered and angry discussions.— (Hear, hear, hear.) Wishing good-will to all men himself, he hated wrangling in others, and when he saw which way the wind blew and a man disposed to cavil, he always put upon another tack and got out of his way as soon as possible.—(Cheers and laughter.) After notic ing the new regulation by which works were submitted to Committees of the Society, as best qualified to duly exa mine them and pronounce on their merits, his Royal Highness expressed the deep interest he took in the pro sperity of the Society, and which nothing would so much tend to promote as perfect unanimity amongst its mem bers. His Royal Highness concluded by passing a high eulogium on their treasurer, Mr. Lubbock. Nothing could be so highly honourable to that gentleman as the testimonials borne to his scientific acquirements by Pro fessor Airey, of Cambridge, whose letter he had seen in the Papers that day. He was certain that the Professor would not have so warmly expressed It is opinion without health of their treasurer Mr. Lu u b a bo rie c s k ; , ,, wh a i l c s having felt assured of that gentleman having richly Royal So merited the Professor's approbation. He proposed the u' ‘ s t h d e n S i n o: accordingly ; and Mr. Lubbock returned thanks, and ex, pressed the high honour which be considered bad been ciety for the Promotion of Arts, Manufactures, 4 ,0 e p i a e i Tt d yh, h ,e_ i him So ciety"—to by t the : Ss l to e sc t ; we e t r eyr a e l ,o l alluded e Ai d ,rifo ttoiscipoefrProsperity Professor to th e Airey. itoy Commerce." Upon " The Royal Academy.' being drank, Sir MAR TIN SHEE, P.R.A., in an eloquent address, returned thanks, pointing out in a forcible manner the close associa tion which must ever exist between the arts and sciences. " Prosperity to the British Museum"—" Geological, Astronomical, and Zoological Societies,"—.were severally drunk with suitable honours. The healls of the late President, Davies Gilbert, Esq., and Mr. Farraday, of the Royal Institution, who bad that day obtained the Copley medal, wer e then drank ; and each gentleman returned thanks in an appropriate speech. His Royal Highness retired shortly after 10 o'clocl7, and was followed by mast of the gentlemen present, In ~;;) ~
