It is interesting therefore to reflect, in that one particular, how much has really been ac complished during this last generation. Here, almost exclusively in the annals of these Mechanics' InAitutes, may be epitomised the progress made in the tedious but unceasing struggle of the Eng- ' lish People, towards the alluring but illusive day dream of National Education. A day-dream which is mill nothing better than a day-dream—save in Da- far as relates to the history of these very in stitutions we aro speaking of—but a golden vision which, please GOD, may yet be realised. Our hopes in this direction have not in any way died out ; notwithstanding the deadening influence of so many and such bitter disappointments ! Not withstanding the fribbling shifts and piecemeal evasions by which the multitude have been so re pe'.ttedly and provokingly baulked in their ex pectations ! In spite of all this, we still hope, sooner or later, to witness the attainment of the advantages' we have been striving for so long, and so pertinaciously. We have not lost faith in the cause—though we have lost faith in the men who advocated it. A few of its champions, it is true, yet t) this day preserve—because they yet to this etay deserve —the popular confidence. But, alas ! they are, indeed, " few " enough. There is Sir Tuomas WYSE, for example, who began the good tiv'et in earnest more than a quarter of a century 1 4 . .ie, and who has only desisted from it; continuance tli t estly because of his intense and incessant v ehr )c cuPat'iou durine , the last sixteen years as. a diplorol,tis,• His Excellency may be taken as a Ve favo urable type of the former advocates of N4ton al Education--i n fact he mus t, as we hav e 4p,,d, be regard e d i n justice - as its originator, as the originator of the whole project which has ever since proved, unhappily, little better than alter nat., ly the mirage, and the will-&-the-wisp, of our ph::an tb - ropies• _ _ Po'..tunately a new race of champions in the e' , o' 0 of National Education give promise no ,,, a _ of reviving under happier auspices the move nwl_t which began so propitiously-. Conspicuous among these later educationists are, beyond all man - aer of doubt, the Noble Lard the member for tvg i fi Lynn, and t'ie Right Hon. Baronet the .11.3eutber for Droitwicb. The former, especially, the people of England are beginning to look to •Cth somethi,dg like the sanguine reliance placed of 'II in lord JOHN RUSSELL-but with far less probability of having that thickly-blossoming re liancP, fructifying at last, only in the most mise raFie, acrid, and withered disappointments. The Multitude are looking thus hopefully to Lord STANLEY, because they already recognize in the aspirations of that young and sagacious Reformer TRE SITS, LONEON, S'APURDAY E% . rEr - 4tNG SEPTEWBEIR 12 1857 ,--..---............ a steady preference for what is practicable, rather than for what is simply desirable and fascinating. The majority see in the Noble Lord a maturity of judgment in these particulars, far beyond what might have been reasonably pradicted from ,his restricted recollections and narrowed experience, insomuch that, compared with his views upon matters relating to a difficult problem like that of National Education, those of the most sedate and sober-minded of his competitors in their advocacy appear to be certainly crotchetty —some of them almost wild and visionary, even the views of a deliberate and steady-going innovator like Sir JOHN PAKINGTON. Time can alone prove whether the public are, after all, in Lord STANLEY'S regard, really in any way justified in these halcyon expectations. It should be remembered by that noble lord himself that they are expectations which devolve upon him a load of a very weighty, and even, in a manner, almost awful responsibilities. They in dicate for him a great future, if he care but to grasp it manfully ! The hopes of his own rising age in one grand cause alone—such a cause, for nstance, as this one of National Education — placed in his hands confidingly and collectively— form of themselves a sufficiently onerous respon sibility. Will that responsibility be accepted frankly by Lord STANLEY—becoming at once a guide and a spur to his ambition ? It is a ques tion in itself very momentous, and yet one which he may answer now according to his own free will and pleasure. There is the opportunity 1 Will he accept it? " The ball is at his foot," and the goal lies straight before him. "The pear is ripe,' , or, at any rate, is fast ripening—a little while, and he will have but to shake the bough. In the meantime, while more comprehensive endeavours are preparing the way for the ulterior realisation of that favourite day-dream of so many past and passing statesmen—National Elucation . _ —those avant couriers of the Great Measure— " Mechanics' Institutes"—still (it rejoices our heart to know) flourish and multiply. Reflect what these institutions were a quarter of a century back, and what they are now I Recollect how sparsely they were scattered here and there at rare intervals over the country, just ten years after the date of their original commencement—and how numerous and well-to-do they actually are nowadays I Formerly, a Mechanics' Institute was the exception—now it is the rule. Formerly, it was a curious circumstance to find one of them existing in a large town, just barely (we use the word advisedly) existing—now the marvel is to find anywhere a large town without one, and without one, too, not merely existing but flourish ing. It is certainly to be wished that the ori ginal design were more carefully adhered to than it actually is—that these Mechanics' Institutes were really Mechanics' Institutes ; establishments where the students might be rather the wearers of fustian than the wearers of broadcloth, artizans and handicraftsmen rather than clerks and shop keepers. But still—while they have been so far imperceptibly diverted from the course they were first of all designed to traverse, and to irrigate, so to speak, with the fertilizing streams of know ledge, while they have been so far diverted from -Ant course that their very title, in the vast ma jority of instances, has actually become a mis nomer—Mechanics' Institutes incontestibly do good service throughout this land nevertheless. They not only do good service in the Great cause, each of them respectively ; but, beyond that, all of them together afford in their way a substan tial guarantee that National Education will yet 1 in its turn form another of our—lnstitutions I Dr. LIVINGSTON told the Manchester gentle men the other day that a part of Africa, through which he had passed, abounded with honey, and that the honey bird three or four times in the clay called travellers to follow it and to taka the honey ; in consequence of which gratuitous guid ance his men, who were travelling with him, ob tained a great deal of honey. We think his hearers might appropriately denominate the Dr. their cotton-bird, for it can hardly be doubted that following his guidance, they may obtaiu all they want of cotton. The Dr. chirped very cheerfully and alluringly on Wednesday. Three influential associations listened to his notes, the Chamber of Commerce, the Commercial Association, and the Cotton Supply Association itself. He could tell them he had seen the cotton, so attractive to the men of Manchester, as certainly as any honey-bird had seen the product so sweet to the palate of children, and had seen that it might be grown and obtained in almost any quantity. Will not the Manchester manufacturers follow their cotton-bird ? What could they ask more than he points now to ? He could tell them of districts on the West Coast where it grew abundantly and spontane ously—of one small district where, by the rude native growth and manufacture, "1,300 cloths were produced annually"—of another " which, in the hands of Englishmen, would furnish more, for its size, than any pact of the United States" —of skilled labour in the same district at 4d., and field labour at 2d. per day, and if paid for in calico, the current coin of the country, and coin so easily furnished from the Manchester mint, at ld. per day I Except, as Miss NaRTINEAU would say, that the market price of labour must rise through the demand, cotton might surely be grown almost for a song. Samba, under JONATHAN'S slave-whip, could never corn - pete with his free brother Negro in Angola, or on the banks of the ZAmbesi. No LEGREB in the Slave States could ever reduce the cost of his slave labour to a penny or twopence, or even to four pence a day. It must cost him that for cat-o' nine-tails alone. The fertility of the soil, tJo, appears to know no limits ; manure is never wanted ; the trees are evergreens ; two crops in the year is the ordinary thing, grass dashing into your eyes as you ride along ; wheat, in a tropical country, too, with ears as long as your hand. In short, the range of Dr. LIVINGSTON'S travels offered to Manchester all the cotton she could need for any extension of her manufacture, cotton growers who prefer her calicoes to gold, and vale able products of all kinds in return for any amount of manufactures she could pour into the country. _ _ But why does the groat Free Trade city turn from Dr. LIVINGSTON to the Government. We do not like this tendency of Cotton Spinners to cry after the old agricultural fashion, "014, Go vernment help us !" Why cannot Manchester help itself in a matter of c3tton ? Mr. CHEETIININI re ferral to the money spent in seeking a north-west Passage, but an effort in the interest of seietm3, whether we thi n k it j u di c i ous or n ot, has nothing , common with a commercial adventure. No individu i l, no hope to class of manufacturers could ever Pin a farthing by determining no northern outline of American continent. He referred also to the Government Expedition up the Niger ; but with the best intentions on the part of all, notwithstanding all the par a d e Vitll which the expedit ion was se nt out, it was, on the whole, a failu re, and, indeed, ow 4 it s salva tion almost to the aid of a private trader who had anticipated, and really surpassed it. We say it in no spirit of censure, that Mancheffs- ter bad better help itself. , The cost of a steamer, which they ask of Government, for the Zambesi, what is it to Manchester It might be made in whole or in part to pay its, own expences ; but if not, what would the whole 'cost be to the gentle men in Manchester interested in opening Africa for cotton growing and for trade generally. Liver pool also would join in all probability, but Man chester is well able to do the whole thing herself. We think she would do it far better than the Government. As the object is a purely commer cial one, we should even say that if Manchester be not ashamed to receive money from the State, the management would be better in the hands of her merchants and manufacturers, even if they received a grant for the purpose. They are the parties most interested ; the men sent out by them would have the quickest eye for what was needed by their employers ; and, of one thing we are quite sure, that for the same amount of expenditure the men of trade and commerce would secure a vastly larger measure of the kind of information first wanted, than Government agents could do. _ We strongly urge, however, on our Manchester friends the taking on themselves all the cost and all the honour of the expedition, which we fully agree ought to follow at once in the track of Dr. LIVINGSTON. The readiness, indeed eagerness, of the chiefs for traffic, the ~ exuberant fertility of the district north of 20 deg. south latitude ; the immediate wants of the Manchester Cotton Mar ket ; and, not least, the certainty that to lower materially the price of cotton would be certain to render slaves of little or no worth in America, and to extinguish slavery there at no distant date; these considerations, not to mention the higher ones specially interesting to the excellent mis sionary, himself, and to all of us as Christians, may well rouse Manchester to a task peculiarly hers. THE TIOUSEBOLD OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL. The appointments to the household of Prince William Frederick and the Princess Royal of Eng land are now under consideration at Berlin. Major Heinz will be Marshal of his Royal Highness's Court, and the Count Perponcher Sedluitzki, now Minister at Dresden, will be Chamberlain to the Princess ; and the Countess, whose mother was an Englishwoman, will be Grand Mistress of her Court. ENGLISH _RECRUITING ON THE CONTINENT. The Memorial of Lille of the 10th states that individuals are engaged there in recruiting for the English service in India. On the other hand the following announcement has been published at Frankfort : " Numerous applications being daily made to the English Legation in this city for service in the British forces, notice is hereby given that the Eng lish Government has no intention of forming a Foreign Legion, and that foreigners are not ad mitted into the ranks of the British army." LATEST NEW'. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 10. The Diet of Holstein has unanimously adopted (with the deduction of two votes) the report of the committee charged with the examination of the project of the new Constitution. The new Con stitution is, therefore, finally rejected. The Diet, says another despatch from Itzehoe, has in a secret sitting voted, by 46 against 2, the rejection of the new Constitution. The deputy Bargum refused to vote upon a question of form, and finally entered a protest against the result of the division. BERLIN, SEPT. 10. We learn from Warsaw, under date of Sept. 9, that the Emperor Alexander was the previous day at Skierniewice. He would reach New Alexandria that evening, and on Thursday be at Zwannzo rod. On Saturday the Czar will go to Medlin, and on Sunday will set out for Germany. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. Despatches were received to-day at the Foreign office from the French Minister at Berlin, and were forwarded to Count Walewski at Biarritz. It is said, or conjectured, that they relate to the alleged proposed interview between the Emperor of the French and the King of Piussia, the idea of which is reported to have been first suggested by Count liatzfeldt, the Prussian Minister at Paris. In the total absence of intelligence of the slightest interest from any part of Europe, a vast number of rumours 'are daily circulated with respect to the approaching interviews of crowned heads in Germany, and details are supplied, more minute than authentic, with respect to the subjects that are to be discussed at them. No accounts having been received of the com mencement of the Moldavian elections of the 15th day (9th inst.), from the receipt by Prince Vogorides of his instructions from the Porte, it is now said that they are postponed in order that the two Emperors may have some last words on the subject. Another rumour says that the Emperor of the French is to use his good offices with the Emperor Alexander to bring about an amiciable rapprochement between England and Russia. These and many other reports of the kind are in all probability mere inventions, destitute of founda tion. The only thing certain is the interview at Stutgardt. General Fleury, the Emperor's aide de-camp, charged with the direction of the Imperial travelling equipages, has arrived in Paris from Chalons to give orders respecting the journey, for which everything is to be ready on the 20th inst. As was to be expected, the article of the v nivers insisting that England should be obliged to give up ILr possessions in the Mediterranean has called forth remarks from some of the other members of the Paris press. The Debate compares the party which the Univers represents, to persons inhabiting the cave of Epimenides, which possessed the faculty of throwing its inmates into a state of somnolency for the period of 100 years. " The singular party of the Univers," says the Debate, " which seems to always forget a century or two in its reasonings, is still boiling with indignation at the defeats of Cressy and Agincourt ; and flame lighted up in India appears to it to be a just reprisal for the funeral pile of Joan of Arc." The Debate then, after lay ing before its readers the partic ulars of the notable scheme imagined by the Univers, makes the follow ing observations : " Certainly this plan is absolutely chimerical, but it exactly suits the habitual clearsigletedness of the journal which publishes it, and its usual manner of viewing the affairs of this world ; but, in short, it is a plan, and such as it is, we very much prefer it to the silence of the journals which rejoice at the events in India, without telling us what benefit France is to derive from them. Let the Union also give us its programme, in order that the public may judge of the practical views of that journal on this important affair ; and if the Gazette de France itself, which was so prolific in ingenious combinations during the war in the East, would also give us an idea of its views on this subject, we will not neglect the opportunity of enlightening ourselves. To speak seriously on a grave subject, we do not think it is proper for the French press to show itself hostile and unjust towards England, during the crisis which she is now paseing;through in India. Even should these disturb antes increase, and increased, as England is our ally, it would be impossible for us to derive any advaLtage from her difficulties, without breaking with her ; and then the question will arise as to the propriety of VIM step, which should be discussed with good faith before Vie public. Whatever our opponents may say, we are not irrevocably attached to any alliance, and in that, as in ever} thing else, we are ready to go to the side of what we shall be clearly shown is the interest of France. But it is needless now to enlarge the question ; every one knows that unless England be interrupted in her task by a European war, she will certainly overcome, in a given time, her revolted Indian army, and t'seu, what wilt there remain of all the noise which is now bein made by certain journals about this insurrection ? Nothing but the durable reinemberance of a fruitless malevolence and an impotent jealousy. Tne language of the rinicer3 neither responds to the feelings of the French nation nor are they worthy of it ; and in ter minating we would say to that journal and its fellows, that when one is at peace with one's neighbour, the language of peace is used ; when war is intended, the fact is announced plainly, and reasons are given for it." The Siecle also refers to the language of the Univers, and in terms of the most decided disap probation. The Univers, by no means affected by the sharp criticism poured on it by the other journals, again contains an article on India. It concludes in these words The English may triumph over this rebellion, brit if after the victory they resume the system which they have hitherto followed, we may boldly predict new revolts. They have not fulfilled the mission which Providence confided to them ; they have not civilised the Ilindoos ; they hive not Christianised them ; they have contented themselves with turning them to accouet, whifst leaving them in their darkness and their slime. They now see to what that p olic y le ads. Ma y the rude lesson which they have recei v ed make them un derstand Sept. 11.—The following were the last the ß ir o u duty, nsE and give them the will to accomplish it." quotations : Cash- fr.

The Royal Artillery Company of Gentlemen Ca dets at Woolwicb, under the command of Captain G. B. Shakespear, were paraded yesterday morn ing under arms in field-day order, in the grounds of the institution, and were supplied with blank am munition for the inspection of the Commandant of the garrison, Major-General Sir W. F. Williams, K.C.B. After receiving the General with the usual salute a minute inspection of the cadets took place, which was succeeded by the company march ing past in slow and quick time. They were sub sequently put through the manual exercise by gen tleman Cadet Rais, of the practical class. A succession of field evolutions was then performed - - by the battalion, and several rounds of ammunition were fired in a soldierly manner, after which they formed upon their ori i gival ground, and again saluted the General by presenting arms, &c., the band striking up "God save the Queen." The battalion was then formed into square, when General Sir W. F. Williams expressed his appro bation of the result of his inspection, and assured the men that their steady effieicsney and soldierlike - • • appearance under arms bad exceeded his expecta tions. He urged them to persevere in the respec tive branches of their merit , riou3 studies, and, alluding to the calainitis in the East, which evinced a probability that their professional duties might be required iu a sphere of active service where rapid promotion would crown their success, he hoped they would not only by their gentlemanly deportment and moral conduct prove a comfort to their parents, but an honour to their country. The General, who was accompanied throughout the inspection by Colonel Wilford, the governor of the institution, complimented Captain Shakespear and the officers of the company on their successful efforts in raising it to its high state of proficiency under their military training. He also referred in terms of high commendation to the soldierly tone and manner in which Gentleman Cadet Rait had _ . performed his duties, and the correctness with which Gentleman Cadet Walker acquitted himself as Adjutant on the field. The Com mandant thence proceeded to visit the barrack-rooms, workshops, reading-room, and studies, and subsequently attended in the refectory, where the Cadets were assembled for dinner, and expressed himself ettremely pleased with the in terior arrangements of the institution, and its ad mirable order and neatness, which, be remarked, he would not fail to bring under the favourable consi deration of Lord Pam - Imre. Captain Penrose, of the Wool wich division of Royal Marines, proceeded yesterday on recruiting service to Market Harbarough, Leicestershire, and Capt. Davies, also of the Royal Marine Light In fantry, was ordered yesterday to York on a similar service. The depot of the 92d Highlanders were to leave Fort George on Thursday by steamer from Gran ton for Stirling. The remainder of the 721 depot were to leave Fort Gearga at the same time for Aberdeen, the fort being thereby vacant of troops excepting invalids of the Artillery in the mean- time. The following promotions have taken place in the corps of Royal Marine Light Infantry :—Capt. F. L. Alexander, of the Chatham division, has been appointed to the Artillery companies at Ports 'sleuth, vice Captain A. R. Savage, deceased ; First Lieutenant and Adjutant J. H. Parry, of the Chatham division, has been promoted tobe Captain, vice Alexander, and appointed to the same division. On Thursday morning the head-quarters division of the sth Dragoon Guards, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel 11I'Mahon, left Piers-hill barracks, and commenced their march for Carlisle, proceed• ing by Galashiels, Hawick, &c. From Carlisle the regiment will proceed to the port of embarkation for India. On Thursday afternoon the head-quar ters division of the 16th Lancers, under the com mand of Lieut.-Colonel Pattle, arrived at Piers hill-barrAcles, having marched the landward part of the journey from Belfast. Captain Wright's company of Royal Artillery arrived at Portsmouth from Alderney yesterday in the Sylph steam vessel, landed, and proceeded by railway to Woolwich. A detachment, one company, 47, leaves Portsmouth this morning for March wood, Southampton, to relieve a company of Royal Artillery ordered for duty in Portsmouth garriso . The camp at Colchester has j ost been strengthened by the arrival of the 56'h depot from Pembroke, under the command of Capt. H. Eccles, the other officers with the depot being Lieutenants Watson and Hampton, and Ensigns Buchner and Laver. Three other depots, under orders to march, are daily expected, and these will complete the com plement of Indian regiments expected to occupy these barracks. The i3d and 77th depots are re ady to start at a anonwnt's notice, their destination being Jersey ; and the 2d battalion of the 2d Queen's Royals, which has just been formed, un der the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bruce, will probably be remove f when a sufficient monber of recruits has been eelisted. Within a few dais between 60 and 70 strong ableboclied mt n have arrived to j sin the 2d Foot and the Rifle Brigade, and from all quarters information is brought to the camp that the enlistment of recruits for the 2d bat talion is progressing satisfactorily. It is no Ar thought that some alteration will take place in the constitu tion of the camp. Toe strength of the garrison is now 2,200 rank and file. Messrs. James Baines and Co., the owners of the clipper ship Lightning which recently sailed from Gravesend with troops belonging to the Indian depots at the provisional battalion, Chatham, have forwarded to the authorities the handsome dona tion of 1001. to be distributed among the soldiers' wives and children who have been left behind at Chatham. It is to be hoped that other shipowners may be induced to follow the example of the owners of the Black Ball line, as considerable destituton prevails among the families of those soldier s who have embarked for India, the highest sum allowed them by the War-office being 60. per day, which is altogether inadequate for the maintenance of a family of several children. Orders have been received at Chatham for the following changes to be made in the medical staff of officers at that garrison :—Staff Assistant-Sur geon Leslie to proceed to Belfast ; Staff Assistant- Surgeon Elliott to proceeed to Winchester, to join the depot battalions at that station ; Staff Assistant- Surgeon M'Grath has gone from Chatham to Dub lin for the purpose of joining the 94: h Regt., under orders for India ; Staff Assistant-Surgeon Sherky has received orders to proceed to Canterbury to do duty with the depot battalion at that station ; Stuff Assistant-Surgeon Neire proceeds to Limerick for the purpose of being attached to the 2d battalion of the 3d Buffs, which is about being formed. A very handsome officer's sword has been pre sented by Col. E. A. Parker, Commandant of the Chatham Division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, to Quartermaster J. Lewis, late senior Sergeant- Major at Chatham, on the occasion of his being promoted to the rank of Quartermaster of 'the Portsmouth division, as a mark of the high eat i mation in which that offiJer is held by the Com mandant and the whole of the officers of the Royal Marines at Chatham. Admiral Sir G. Seymour, commander-in-chief of Portsmouth, returned from his visit of inspection to the Channel Islands in the Black Eagle, Master Commander John N. Petley, yesterday, and shortly afterwards heisted his flag at the main of the Blenheim, which is now the guard ship in Portsmouth harbour. We stated yesterday that the Commander-in- Chief, Admiral Lord Lyons, G.C.8., with his squadron, was at Algiers, sth September. Thsy were to leave on the 7th for Port Mahon and Malta. Lord Lyons hart only three line-of-battle ships with him—namely, his flag-ship, Royal Albert, 121, screw, Captain Hoe. F. Egerton ; Princess Royal, 90, screw, Captain G. Gifford, C.B. ; and Centurion, 80, screw, Captain E. G. Faaishawe ; and also the Ariel, 9, screw, Com mander Maxse ; and the 'Vigilant, 4, screw, Com mander Armytage. The Admiralty have ordere 1 the Conqueror, 101, screw, Captain H. Yelvertou, C. B , to return im mediately from Devonport to the Mediterranean. She left that port on Wednesday. She is not even to stop to be caulke 1, but is to t eke the materials with her, and, if absolutely necessary, will put into Lisbon and get caulked there, and proceed to Malta with dispatch. The Victory, 101, Capt. G. H. Seymour, C.B , his been taken ieto the b isin at Portsmouth to be stripped, prior to athoroughsurvey and examination to ascertain whether she is rep sir-worthy again. The Poit-Admiral, Sir Geo. Seymour, whose flag she carries, returned from his t ,ur in the Black Eagle yesterday, and hoisted his flag in the Blenheim screw depot ship of the steam reserve, Captain the Hoe. F. T. Pelham, C.B. The Chesty:take, 50, screw frigate, Capt. R. B. Watson, C. 8., tried her spend at the measured tni!e at Stokes Bay yesterday afternoon ; her per formance was highly satisfactory. The Perseverance steam troop ship, Commander M'Donald, went into Portsmouth harbour yester day afternoon. The Vulcan, 6, iron steam troop frigate, Com mander John Ssacombe, went from Portsmouth harbour to Spithead yesterday and anchered. The Hydaspes, at Woolwich, steam vessel, or dered to embark 640 officers, non-commisioned officers, and men of the Royal Artillery for India, has received hammocks, bedding, and provisions for the troops, and she is ordered to leave the East India Docks tomorrow for Woolwich Arsenal-pier, to ship a largo quantity of ammunition, and the gaps, &c., of the field batteries. The Hydaspes has been in dry dock, under the hands of a large num- ber of carpenters and joiners, and is now fitted up in an excellent manner. _ _ The super-heating apparatus invented by Mr. Weatherhed has now received a final trial on boar.] the Dee, paddle steam-vessel, and the result has been reported as highly favourable. The advantage of the invention consists in obtaining a larger amount of steam power with a considerable reduc tion in fuel. Previous to the departure from Wool wich to Portsmouth on her last trip, one of her boilers was fitted with the apparatus, for the pur pose of testing the precise saving in the consump tion of coals. It appears that by means of the ap paratus the same amount of steam power was ob tained with the boiler to which it was affixed, whilst the amount of coals consumed was less by 12 cwt. in 20 hours as compared with the boiler not fitted with the apparatus. It is stated that the Admiralty will order the invention to be applied generally in the Royal Navy. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD.—The annual visit has teen paid to the Royal Dockyard, at Pembroke, by the Lords of the Admiralty. The Amphitrite fri gate saluted the Osborne, with their lordships on board, with a salute of 19 guns, and a similar com pliment was sent forth from the fortified barracks. Sir C. Wood and Capt. Milne inspected the works in progress and the ships in course of building, and then proceeded to Hobb's Point ; after which their lordships received a deputation from the Pembroke Town Council, with regard to an improvement in a landing-place at the Point. The general muster of the establishment then took place, and the board adjourned to the Amphitrite to meet Commodore Eden, the commandant of the Coast Guard. The board expressed themselves highly satisfied with the good order and efficiency in which everything was found. The Alban steam vessel, Lieut. the Ron. W. B. de Blaquiere, arrived at Portsmouth at daylight yesterday morning from Sheerness,. and went into harbour. The paddlewheel transport Dee, Master-Com. T. C. Pullen, arrived at Woolwich yesterday from Plymouth, having conveyed steam machinery, &c., for the Western yards.

The corps is over its full strength, and will probably muster 1,000 men. Recruiting is actively going on at Worcester for the county militia. A good many recruits have al ready been attested, and some considerable addi tions have been made to the line this week. ThP second regiment of the Staffordshire Militia is to be immediately embodied. The regiment will probably remain in Stafford for a week, and then proceed to the south of England to perform garri son duty. Volunteers are invited for the Royal North Glo cester Militia. ANOTHER FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.- LOSS OF EIGHT LIVES. DUDLEY, Friday.—There has been another fearful celbery explosion a short distance from this town, which bas resulted in the certain I)ss of eight lives, the maim. ing of other persons, and the destruction of a large quantity of valuable property. The occurrence hap pened yesterday at a place called Netherton, about two miles from Dudley, at the Gaon colliery, and already seven dead bodies have been removed from the mine. L is believed that there is only one more to recover. The G won pit, where the explosion took place, is An old one, and had not been worked for some time until lately. The colliers were aware that there was tx,dosive gas in that part of the pit, and were cautioned as to their lights, Sec. Pipes had also been laid down for the purpose of carrying off the gas. At the time of the explosion there were about 20 men in the pit. The explosion was a tertian one, and was heard for miles round the spot. It shook the ground like an earthquake. and sprea I con,ternation wherever it was felt. Tue flames rushed up the air shaft of the mine with terrific fury, blowing drawing apparatus, &c., to a considerable height in the air, and a. column of fire ascended many yards above the mouth of the pit. The flames ignited the coal in the pit, and it was not until a copious supply of water had been cast into the mine that the fire was extinguished. An immense mass of coal and stone has been distodg,d, and seven or eight yards of the bottom of the Shaft have been blown in. The number of bodies recovered up to mid-day was seven, all horribly mutilated ; and it is believed there is only one more in the pit, the other men having been brought up alive. The immediate cause of the Explosion has not been ascertained ; but the district Government inspector is on the spot, and will no doubt make a strict inquiry into the facts. The following is, wo believe, a correct list of the un fortunate deceased, with their residences and families : George French, about thirty-five years of age, having a wife and four chil lieu ; at Blackheath. Joseph Griffiths, aged forty-six, wife and seven ch.l - ; at West Bromwich. Abraham Sherwood (or Sharratt), aged about thirty four, wife and five children ; at Church Bridge, Oldbury. John Macely, aged about forty, wife and three chil dren ; Black Waggon-street, Old Hill. William Timmins, aged twenty-six, singe ; of Darby Hard. James Darby, aged el.ven years, Rowley ; and Daniel Chink, about thirty-two, having a wife and three children, at Church -bridge, near Oldbury. There are six or seven men and b oys injured, but we have been able to learn only the names of Samuel Si viter, ac,d twenty-one, single, Beiwley, who is much burnt about his hands, head, and body ; and John Dainty, aged about nineteen, having wife and child at Old Hill. STRAND THEATRE. It must have been a matter of surprise to most per sons that a subject so tempting, and at the same time so popular, as the story of Verdi's " Traviata," should have for so long a period escaped the notice of the bur lesque writers of the day, and the complete success which attended the production of Mr. Leicester Buck ingham's excellent burie,,que at this theatre last Monday proves abundantly the fitness of the story of the opera for the purposes of travestie. The original plot has been • carefully adhered to, though the personages involved are lowered to a much less exalted level in the social scale. The leading situations are adinirab'y caricatured ; and the dia logue, whilei t displays none of the glaring licentiousness of the Italian libetto, is fu'l of poiLt and humour, and spat kles with puns in every line. T. e actors do the most ample justice to their respective tables ; Mr. F.,CLarleo, as Vile Letty, imparts to his personation an abundance of grotesque fervor, and shines especially in the ones sioned scenes ; Miss Craven plays Alfresco style which could scarcely he surpasses by any actruss on thb London boards, and sings some capital parodies on the popular airs of the day with great taste and sweetness ; Mr Clarke is full of broad humour as Doleful; an d Mr. Howard, Miss Victo r, and Mr. Bolton deserve their full share of praise. The success of the burlesque was complete, and the author was loudly called for at its close.

CHIMOUNIX--His Royal Highness the _Nines o Wales, accompanied by Prinos Leiningen, Sir William Codrngton, Colonel Ponsonby, Mr. Gibbs, and Dr. Armstrong. arrived at Chamounix on Saturday evening last from Martigny by the Tete Noire. It is the Prince's intention to pass a few days in the valley, which is crowded with visitors. On Monday the Rapti party, accompanied by Mr. Albert Smith, who is now at Cbamounix, and had the honour of acting as guide on the occasion, visited the Cascade du Dard, and after wards traversed the Glacier du Bossons, returning by the other side. The Marquis and Marchiness of Normanby have left the St. George's Hotel for Mulgrave Castle. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston arrived in town yesterday, from Brocket Hall. Lord and Lady Farnham have arrived at Claridge's Hotel, from the Continent.

BANK OF ENGLAND. —By the return from the Bank of England, for the week ending the sth of September, the amount of the " rest" is 3,893,251/., and a dividend o ► 6 per cent., deducted from this sum, would leave 3,020,0711., which beiflg above the limit of three millions usually fixed for the reserve, it is possible this will be the rate at which the next dividend will be declared. The return of the Bank of France this month presents ies very striking features. The stock of bullion is now 9,920,000/ , showing an increase of 120,0001., which is less than had been anticipated, especially as the recent purchases have been large. The position of the estab lishment has been strengthened by a diminution of 664,0001. in the note issues. There has also been a de crease of 740,0001. in the discounts and of 628,0001. in the deposits of the .public. In the balances of the Go vernment an augmentation has occurred of 130,0001. In 'the advances on stocks there has been no alteration, and in those on railroad securities the movement has been limited to an increase of 36,000/. LORD MAOAULAY.—Our readers will see from an ex tract from the Gazette of last night, which appears in another column, that Mr. Macaulay has chosen as his new " name, style, and title," that of " Baron Macau lay, of Rothley, in the county of Leicester." Rotbley Temple was for some years the residence of his maternal uncle, the late Thomas Babington, Este, formerly high sheriff of Leicestershire, and many years M.P. for the city of Leicester. The future essayist, poet, historian, and orator, was born there in the early part of the year 1800. Hence, we presume, arises his selection of that spot as the local source where he derives his barony ac cording to the old feudal theory which makes every baron the "lord" of a certain locality. Mr. Macaulay, we may add, is the eldest son of the late Zachary Ma caulay, the early friend and associate of Wilberforce, the veteran labourer in the cause of the abolition of no ero tlavery. His grandfather was a Presbyterian clergyman in the highlands of Scotland, and, we believe, was a native of the remote and romantic island of L wee. NORTH OF EUROPE STEAM COMPANY.—The report of the North of Europe Steam Company has been issued preparatory to their meeting on Tuesday. It gives a further depbrable account of the results of past mis management, and holds out littie h"pe with regard to future prospects. The new board have corn nenced a vigorous c curse of retrenchment ; but it seems as if the chief reliance of the shareholders must be upon the sale of their vessels whenever this can be effected. Tile losses from the let of January to the 30,:h of June last were 38,5291., of which 25,5821. was actual ex cess of expenditure over earnings. The totel 10.-s fr.ms the date of the formation of the company has been 187,1671. out of 593,725/ , and this may be greatly increased if the vessels sboul I be sacri ficed below their estimated value. The meet ing on Tuesday, it is said, is likely to be stormy, net from any dissatisfaction with the actual proceedings of the present board, who appear to be doing all in their power to save the property of the company, but from a belief that there has been an undue disposition to screen the circumstances under which the ruin took place. It is to be hoped, however, that this is an erroneous impression, and that each shareholder will be recognised as having the full right of a partner to inquire into every past detail. Indeed, it is the duty of the Board not merely to anew, but to encourage all such inquiries, and it must also be the wish of the former directors that every question connected with their unfortunate course should be thoroughly sifted, so that it may be made to appear beyond all future cavil that they at least stand exonerated from Any charge of intentional misconduct. _ —Timei, LAW IbiTELLICt"-&-C137-IThis COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE 11. AND 0. HALL. This was an adjourned examination of these bank rupts, Henry, and Che,lyn Hall, solicitors, New Bos well court, but who were made bankrupt as cattle-dealers , Neasdon, Middlesex. The accounts were only filed yesterday, and Mr. Lawrance for the assignees applied for an adjournment which was granted. IN RE BA.NYARD, This bankrupt was de,cribcd as a Licensed Victualer of the Royal Inn, Shoreham, and to-day came o p to pass on accounts prepared by Messrs. Butler end Cannings, the solicitor for the assignees expressing satisfaction in the way in which they had been wade out. His Honour appointed an early day for the certificate meeting. A PRIVATE ARRANGEMENT. An application was made to his Honour to convert a petition under the Private Arrangement Act into a bankruptcy, it being agreed on all hands that that would be the better course. The only question in dispute Was as to the allowance to be granted. His Honour asked the amount of debts and assets. A gentleman, who said he was a creditor, replied that the debts were about 25,000/., and the assets 2,000/. His Honour said that the principle of the law was to secure as much as possible for the creditors, but not to let a man die cf hunger or live upon charity, and there fore any person coming before the Court and strippi n g himself of the whole of his property to benefit his cre ditors, ought to be looked on with consideration. ge would therefore grant an allowance, and supposing the re had been any misconduct, it could be cJmnsented on when the bankrupts came up for their certificates. IN RE TOWNSEND, M.P. FOR GREENWICH. To-day was appointed for a choice of assignees in this case ' but Messrs. Butler and Cannings, who have bee' appointed as accountants to the estate, had not been able to audit the accounts, and the examination was ad. j ourned. Mr. Townsend waq called and put under examination. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Dag• POLICE COMMITTEE, GUILDHALL. (Before Aldermen Carter, Farebrother, and Rose.) JUSTICES JIISTICE.—A respectable carman, nam e- IVl`Cair, residing in Church-place, Bethnal-green, was summoned for obstructing the public way on the 25th of August. The police-constable who preferred the complain t stated that the defendant's cart was drawn up close t ° the kerb in front of Mr. Sweeting's shop, at the corner of Cheapside, and was left there without any one to take care of it for more than five minutes.

GUILDHALL. James Welch and John Harding were summoned be ; fore Alderman Sir Peter Laurie, charged with crea tiv° a disturbance in Half Moon passage, Aldersgate_stree4 under p e culiar circumstances. Mr. Charnock, instructed by Mr. Hobler, appeared support the complaint on the part of a person 1 39 ' ra e e c i Smith, residing in the same passage, who felt eg rie no by the defendants conduct. The learned coun sei, ", , stating the case said that from some cause the ,e, fendants had taken offence at Mr. Smith's conduc t d e r latter lived at one end of the passage and the forillof at the other, and the modes operandi was the ringing o f bells throughout the night, causing a largo numbe r t be persons to assemble, requiring the interference of police. The disturbance of the peace was very g i e . e c : and (said the learned counsel) the defendants bou'L, tually resorted, in addition to the bells, to tin creating discordant sounds, enough to frighten ol d e 3O (Laughter.) He called upon the alderman to sePP r o, the nuisance, and protect his client from the anno9 3n t bie The serving the summons stopped the continuance of fo unseemly music, and all the complainant required ,110 t for the defendants to promise not to repeat their cop and enter into recognisances to appear at the sessiov,Pre, necessary, and answer any complaint that migh t be 'ber ferred against them ; in all probability nothing flirt would be done it. 8 Smith was called, and stated that he lived at No. 'Oa Half-Moon-passage, which was opposite a house occoP',o by a person name] Lewis, adjoining which Wa tt Ile empty house belonging to the defendant Harding. 0 had done nothing personally to give the I defendon to offence.
