The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of Climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d. and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im- Inoseibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects bf the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with Universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right anglr. and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabiliti es of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, In how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work co n t a i ns an accurate and complete account of the Ana tomy and Play&iology of the Rep ro d uc ti ve O rgans, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest a tt ent i on and study, for what subject can more importance than the preservation of the health, and em the physical capabilities of which every man should yittywssed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy in ' a l et excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired e arly life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap f.,.Pl_ying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so —rf l ae ntlY, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of riabl disease, symp a th y with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva y characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the Medical man who can show by his posse-sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in hie profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

ARRIVAL OF THE ANTELOPE. Minister's opinion upon the article which treated upon the navigation of the •rivers. The Minister , M o a r y erespecting a t w hi i o p g e o i n e s t s of to p t r h o % e e n d e g uponoti a - again f e ll b ac k upon his own draft of the 28th Inthoedifibeaastiisoosp t o i f o n r e l) c o e s p e d t e d b b y y t i‘ h i e r . G o h Ne o r o n d m , e n W t, i t l h e a n t h g e the Plenipotentiaries the choice of these alterna tives. The Plenipotentiaries replied that they could not admit either; that they were only authorised to accept either the draft of their own proposition, or the proposal of Mr. Hood as it had been submitted by the French and English Governments, without any modification; their propositions had been drawn up by the intervening powers with a desire to do complete justice to Buenos Ayres, and embraced in a few lines the proposal of Mr. Hood and the obser vations of the Buenos Ayrean Government. That the articles had been the subject of long and anxious deliberation with the French and English Govern ments, and that their respective Ministers had framed the article under the advice of several jurisconsults, and that the Plenipotentiaries were not authorised to alter it. The Buenos Ayrean Minister refused to adopt any other course, but offered to submit the article to his Government. The conference closed by the Plenipotentiaries calling the serious attention of the Government to this point, upon which they de manded a categorical reply. Neither party gave hopes of concession. On the 29th June the last conference was held. The Buenos Ayrean Minister asked whether the Plenipotentiaries had anything to propose respecting the rivers. They replied, that on the previous con ference the articles Ist, 2d, and 3d of the draft of a convention, and that respecting the title of Oribe, had been left in suspense. That in the discussion of those articles the Plenipotentiaries had judged proper to pass on the sth, having reference to the navigation of the interior rivers, wishing to hear the Minister's opinion ; and after repeating former arguments, de clared that they would not proceed further without an explicit understanding upon this point. A debate arose thereupon, but neither party expressing the smallest disposition to recede, the Buenos Ayrean Minister ended by declaring, that " since a principle had been laid down, that his Government neither asked more, nor would concede less, than what was contained in Mr. Hood's basis, with the modifications added by the. Buenos Ayrean Government, which were ac cepted by all parties ; that this basis was laid down in the draft he had submitted, and it was inconceivable that any difficulty should arise on the subject." The official conference was declared to be at an end, the disputes failed of adjustment, and the negotiation was broken off. The screw-steamer Antelope arrived in Liverpool ' on Monday night. She brings important news from South America, her dates being Rio Janeiro, August 25 ; Monte Video, August 13 ; Bahia, September 4 ; and Buenos Ayres, August 7. The Commercio dcl Plata, of August 13, says that advices have been received at Buenos Ayres from Corrientes, which are of importance. It appears that there had been a renewal of the offensive and defensive alliance on the part of the Go vernment of Paraguay ; that they had already furnished 3,000 men, and were prepared to send a further reinforcement. All the Argentine officers, formerly in the service of Roses, had flocked to the division at Paraguay. " This," adds the Commercio dcl Plcita," we have only on the faith of our correspondent, but we know him, and believe it to be authentic." Our correspondent further adds, that Urquiza had entirely broken off negotiations with Corrientes—that it was thought the chief of Entre Rios would not make any attack upon his neighbours. The friends of Rosas still complain of Urquiza, and stigmatise him as a traitor. This bad feeling has lately increased, on account of Urquiza having refused to close the ports of Entre Rios to the trade of Monte Video, as Roses had required. The Conzmercio del Plata then proceeds in a long strain of invective against Rosas, for wishing to ruin the trade of all the neighbouring ports, as he had already ruined that of Buenos Ayres. A postscript of the British Packet of Buenos Ayres, the 7th of August says—Although hostilities were resumed on the other side of the river on the 2d instant, we rejoice to state that the hope of seeing this fratricedal war, kept alive " by and for " the stranger, speedily terminated, has not altogether vanished. The Monte Video Constitutional, of the 4th inst., announces that it was in contemplation to send a de putation of native inhabitants to the camp of Presi dent Oribe, for the purpose of treati ng f or p eace . The chief feature, however, of the present news is the Message of the President Rosas to the House of Representatives, delivered on the 28th of July. It occupies about ten columns of the Monte Video jour nals ; but unfortunately the documents referred to therein have not reached us by the present arrival, so that the full value of the various arguments of the negotiating parties cannot be justly estimated ; in deed, the subject is necessarily incomplete without these important papers. The message is headed, as usual, with " Long live the Argentine Confederation, Death to the savage Unitarians." A private conference followed between the nego tiators, when the Plenipotentiaries expressed their re gret that, from the misunderstanding of the terms of one article, that the adjustment of the dispute should fail of success ; and they proposed to draw up a pro tocol, embodying such points as were mutually agreed upon. The Minister took time to reflect upon the proposal ; but we presume it was rejected, as further notes passed on the following day, and on the 3d July the Plenipotentiaries took leave of the governor of the province, Lord Howden embarking the same day, and Count Wale wski following on the 4th. Sub sequently, the Buenos Ayrean Government received some dispatches from Oribe, detailing the steps taken by the European Plenipotentiaries for the establish ment of an armistice with him, the refusal of the Monte-Videan Government to accede thereto, and the subsequent raising of the blockade of the ports of Buenos Ayres and of the Banda Oriental. The message then proceeds to say —" By the above exposition it will be seen that the preamble of the proposed convention was alone agreed to; the first, second, and third articles being discussed, but not agreed to; the fourth, sixth, and seventh, which con tained the basis of Mr. Hood's proposal, not having been brought under consideration, and also without those points having been settled, although discussed, which were brought forward respecting the ratifica tion, and also relating to the titles and designation of Oribe, the negotiation having been broken off upon the discussion of article 5." The President then Its great length precluding a literal translation, we have condensed, in as small a space as possible, the substance thereof : The message of the President first briefly refers to the fact of Mr. Hood's mission and its failure, and then, having alluded to the supercession of Mr. Ouse ley and Baron Deffaudis, to whose inflexibility and notoriously inimical spirit is ascribed the failure of all previous endeavours to bring about a pacification, it announces the arrival of Count Walewski on the Bth of May, and of Lord Howden on the 10th, at Buenos Ayres. Having obtained permission to land, on the Ilth the Plenipotentiaries opened the negotiation by two notes referred to, which the Gover nmen t acknow ledged. On the 13th the first conference was held, when the Plenipotentiaries announced that the draft of a convention which they were authorised to propose did not differ from the basis of the propositions made by Mr. Hood. They suggested the form of a con vention as that most convenient. To this the Minister of Foreign Affairs; after some demur, acquiesced, provided the substance of his notes previously com municated, in which the basis of Mr. Hood's pro posal was admitted, should not be altered. On the 14th the notes referred to in the appendix containing the drafts of the convention were presented. The Pre sident then points out the discrepancy between these drafts and the proposal of Mr. Hood, and refers to the correspondence embodying the objections of the Buenos Ayrean Government, and to a counter draft in accordance with their views, to which, on the other band, the Plenipotentiaries objected. On the lath, before the Plenipotentiaries officially received those notes, they conferred confidentially with the Foreig%iSecretary respecting the designation to be given to 4)ribe in the present convention. The Ple nipotentiaries, to avoid the difficulty of acknowledg ing Oribe as president of the Oriental state, sug gested that he should be designated by the Buenos Ayrean Government "as my ally, under whose orders and disposition are the Argentine troops," or that in the respective copies, English, French, and Spanish, of the convention, different designations should be given to General Oribe, so as to suit the views of the several contracting parties. A second difficulty, namely, to avoid the appearance of the convention being an act encroaching upon the rights of the sovereignty of Buenos Ayres, became a serious stumbling-block. The Buenos Ayrean Government insisted that Oribe should give his consent to the conditions of the convention before they were ratified, so as to avoid even the appearance of the cessation of hostilities being produced by compulsion on the part of England and France. The Plenipotentiaries intimated that they intended to propose a fresh draft of a convention, to serve as a basis of ne gotiation. On the 14th of June, at a conference, the discussion of these two points was renewed, without a satisfactory adjustment, and the meeting broke up without coming to any definite resolution. On the 16th the title of Oribe was still the point of dispute, the Plenipotentiaries objecting to proceed till the point was adjusted. A long argument took place on both sides, and a further difficulty was started respecting the necessity of a ratification of a convention, as dis tinguished from a treaty, by the House of Represen tatives ; the usage upon this point being discussed at length. The Plenipotentiaries had no power to sign a treaty, and the condition suggested that the House of Representatives should ratify the convention in three days, this stipulation to be inserted in t h e con vention, formed a serious point of dispute. The Buenos Ayrean secretary insisted upon the necessity . , of a constit u ti ona l ratificatio n , and the Plenipotentia ries waived th e Oribe's title point. The diffi cu lty respecting was proposed to be got over by a separate article, declaratory of the distinct views of the co n t rac ti ng parties- after which they pro ceeeded to discuss therea ' d m i ble, w d lii . ch was agreed to. Article first was Plenipo tentiaries proposed the adoption The Bu then seus f s t e be The draft last pre sented by them, o Ayrean secretary re fused to adopt it, as it did not come the difficul ties pointed out in his note eet f e t v h e e r l3th of June last, that the adoption would be abandoning of the draft e proposed , moreover, his ally , and it would not show upon the face of it that the signature t o the conven tion by the Buenos A affixed until after the e rean Governmen t hadt bad een come to with General or p b r i opee agreemen . been conformity with the views which concerned .e, in him • and, further, because the suspension of hostilities would appear to have been produced by the mediation of the Plenipo tentiaries, which Would introduce a new point alto gether inadmissible, by acknowled 'gilig the same in terested and belligerent parties a smediators, which neither the Buenos Ayrean Government, and cer tainly, beyond all doubt, General Oribe would not agree to. The Buenos Ayrean Minister i persisted n urging the adoption of his own draft for the conven tion, which, he said, would avoid all difficulty, and leave Oribe in the position in which treaty to the Government was pledged by maintain him. The Plenipotentiaries replied that the 4th article provided that the withdrawal of the troops should not take place until the Buenos Ayrean Government had con sulted with their ally, and were i n perfect concert, and they did not pres s the word " m e di at i on " i n t h e article, A . long discussion then ensued upon the mode of proceeding , in order t e contracting parties, and ..0 ob t ai n Oribe's con currence with the acts of . t h the meeting broke up wit without any conclusion. On the 23d of June a note passed respecting the flags and guns alluded to in the draft ; and on the 25th anoth e r conference was held , when again the subj ect o f O r ib e ' s title was revived, and the Minister recapitulated all the arguments in favour of describing_ O r ib e accord ing to his views, and urging that Oribe was no t even proposed to be acknowledged even in his character of ' chief commander of the Oriental army, of which rank he could not be deprived, which title the Govern ments of France and England had not b efore refused to concede to him; adding other arguments to show that this refusal was a departure from the basis laid down by Mr. Hood. The Plenipotentiaries persisted in their views, urging that the words p roposed d i d not affect in any way the honour and dignity of the Buenos Ayrean Government. The Buenos Ayrean Secretary joined issue with them upon this point; but a further discussion thereof was avoided, as leading the negotia tors away from the question. The negotiators then embarked in a long argument, having reference to the proper record of the past events, not materially connected with the articles under discussion. French notes referred to in the appendix were drawn up more in accordance with the Buenos Ayrean Government, 1 which, however, the Minister neither accepted nor I refused, and, except the preamble, no progress was made in the negotiation. A variety of notes, the . contents of which are not particularised, were ex changed, with no observation on either side—when 1 the Plenipotentiaries expsed a desire to hear the proceeds briefly to justify the course taken by the Government, reiterating his desires to bring about a pacification, but always in conformity with the prin ciples contained in Mr. Hood's proposition. The Message concludes by an appeal to the sense of high rectitude always exhibited by the French and Eng lish nations, and that they will, upon reconsideration of the whole subject, make such modifications as could be accepted without infringing the immutable princi ples of justice, and the most solemn recognition, which they have already made of the perfect sovereignty and independence of the confederation, and of the treaties subsisting between them. The Monte-Videan journals, in discussing the above negotiations, make the following deductions 1. That the intervening powers have not acknow ledged Don Manuel Oribe in his quality of Oriental governor, nor in that of general-in-chief of the Oriental army ; but only as general-in-chief of the army of invasion belonging to Rosas. 2. Therefore, in consequence of this fact, the two Governments, ;when agreeing to a free and constitu tional election, proceeded upon the understanding that it was not Oribe, but the national government, which should convoke the electoral colleges and the cham bers, as the only competent authorities ; and, f' 3. Very:important that these declarations were not a new policy of the two Governments, but have con stantly been its unequivocal policy, in which they have always been consistent, and from which they cannot depart. The meaning ascribed to the basis of last year's negotiations by Rosas, Oribe, and Hood, was com pletely erroneous, whilst the views taken by Messrs. Ouseley and Deffaudis were correct; and conse quently the negotiations of Hood did not fail through the fault of the Oriental Government, nor through the inflexibility and inimical spirit of Messrs. Ouseley and Deffaudis, as stated by Oribe and Rosas. COMMERCIAL. Rio JANEIRO, AUG. 24.—The following commer cial remarks apply to our market from the 6th to the 21st.

A dulness, almost unexam pled, has prevail e d i n th e d ry goods trade, notwith standing the very low prices ruling, excepting only some articles for export. Sugar—No sales of consequence have transpired beyond a lot of average Muscavadoes of about 300 cases, at 1,850 per a., or 16s. 6d. per cwt. on bd. ex. frt.; our quotations for average descriptions about equally assorted are 1,800 to 1,900 per a. the Mus cavadoes, and 2,300 to 2,400 the Whites, or 16s. 4d. to 178. 3d., and 20s. 9d. to 21s. 8(1. per cwt. on bd., exchange 27; picked descriptions, being scarce as usual at this season, and prices of same proportion ally higher; exported since the Ist inst., 388 cases to Trieste. The market, towards the latter part of the month, has been very inanimate, and prices of common descriptions have experienced a decline. Hides—Prices are unaltered. Exported to Naples, 2,000 green, 7,776 dry, 5,699 dry salted; to Trieste, 600 dry salted. Tobacco Leaf—Sales to some extent have been effected within quotations. _ Cotton—The inquiry has been brisk throughout the month. Of Maceios about 700 bags have arrived, and further supplies are being expected. Rum is higher. Exported to Monte Video 30 pipes, to Africa 21 pipes of 70 cans each. Coffee is dropping in more freely, and sales of unwashed have taken place at from 2,700 to 3,000 per a. Freights—Except a charter for Trieste, at 655. per ton, nothing of consequence has transpired. Exchange—The amount of business done is mode rate, and may be estimated upon 15,0001. at the most, at the rate of 27a. BUENOS AYRES, AUG. 7.—Commercial matters generally, since the last departure for Europe, have been dull and inactive, excepting, perhaps, the last eight days, during which a pretty good business has been done. There is a great scarcity of narrow hides, which fetch good prices. Hair is very scarce and much wanted ; the demand is great, and could not be answered for the last month. In hides we may re port a sale of 9,000 Descarnados, of 281b5., at 60 dolls., and 3,000 Camp at 49 dolls. The transactions during the present week have been more extensive. Hides of 281bs. and 291bs. continue much looked after at 52 dolls. to 60 dolls., according to quality. Some sales of steamed grease have been effected at 27 dolls. Hides, for North America, meet with ready sale at 41 dells., and there is no doubt but from the scanty supplies, owing to the bad roads, greater transactions would have been made. Wools continue depressed, and no transactions. The highest price of dubloons during the week 380 dolls., the lowest price 367 dolls. The highest rate of exchange upon England during the week 21d.; the lowest 2id. Doubloons 68 dolls. shillings on England, purchasers. On France no transactions, the last at 86f. per ounce. ROMAN CATHOLIC DEMONSTRA TION IN FAVOUR OF POPE PIUS. Tuesday night a public meeting of the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the city of London was held at the Albion, Aldersgate-street, "for the purpose of assist ing Pope Pius IX. with their purse and sympathy in his struggle in the cause of national and religious freeedom."—The Rev. John Moore was called to the chair. The Rev. Mr. KELLY moved the first resolution, which in substance stated that Pope Pius IX. has won for himself the admiration and unbounded es teem of every lover of rational liberty, by the com prehensiveness of his policy, the practical wisdom of his views, and the generous impulse he has given to civil, social, and national amelioration. The resolution was seconded by Dr. DEmraer, and carried unanimously. The next resolution, proposed by the Rev. Mr KYNE, declared, that while they were ready to re ceive with submission, respect, and reverence, any spiritual ruler sent them by the Holy See, well know ing the special guidance given it from above, still the appointment of the illustrious Bishop Wiseman to the ecclesiastical government of the London vicariate at this particular crisis of the Catholic Church of England, is so peculiarly gratifying to their feel ings and conviction, that they could not help thus publicly expressing their gratitude and thanks to the Holy Father for bis prompt and auspicious appoint ment. Mr. ORPWOOD seconded the motion, which passed. The third resolution expressed their congratulation at his Holiness Pope Pius IX.'s efforts in repelling the unjust aggressions of Austria, but they could not conceal from themselves the fact that those noble attempts had considerably added to the embarrass ments of the Papal treasury, and therefore they called upon the Catholics of the world to unite with them in their sympathy and pecuniary contributions in freeing the Holy See. In accordance with those views a subscription was entered into, the Rev. William Kelly, of Virginia street, being appointed treasurer. It was also arranged that he and the Reverend Chairman should forward the same, accompanied with an address expressive of their love and undying attachment to Pope Pius. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. The accounts from all parts of the kingdom agree in stating that a large breadth of land will be sown with wheat this autumn, and there is every prospect of the seed being well got in. The soil has worked admirably ; and the rain which has fallen during the last few days having supplied the requisite moist: :•e, sowing will most likely be forthwith comment It is, therefore, probable that the finer qualities of wheat will for some weeks be in great request f •r that purpose; and as there will be little time f r thrashing and bringing supplies to market, a mot:. • rate rise in prices is calculated on. Independent the seed demand, a rather active inquiry for new wheat may be expected, it being impossible to man is facture good flour of the old foreign wheat now hers without a mixture of new of home growth. Th , trade has, nevertheless, remained in a comparative) quiet state since our last, and the value of U. article has hardly risen in proportion (at the leadin; , provincial markets) to the advance which too: place at Mark-lane on Monday. The extren- , caution with which buyers have continued to a( has, no doubt, been in a great measure caus• •, by the extraordinary position of monetary affairs. and unless something is done to relieve the existi.:4 pressure, the corn trade, as well as all other branches of commerce, must necessarily remain in compara tive inactivity. There are, however, reasons to conclude that prices of grain cannot recede much. Firstly, our farmers hold little old corn, and they do not seem at all anxious to press sales of new ; further, the stocks of old foreign in the country, though large, are not excessive ; and in the pre sent state of British credit there is little prospect of consignments being made from abroad to this country. We are, therefore, disposed to think that the value of wheat will not go much above or below its present level ; for whilst the tightness of money must act as a check to any material advance, the causes already named will, we are inclined to believe, prevent any decline of consequence. At Liverpool a fair but not not an extensive business appears to have been done in bread-stuffs. On Tuesday there was, besides the usual local demand, some inquiry from distant parts of the kingdom ; the decline of the previous market-day was consequently recovered, and in some cases Wheat sold at 3d. per 701bs. over previous prices. Flour was likewise taken pretty freely, and the finest parcels of Ame rican brought ls. per barrel more than the week be • fore. Subsequently holders again raised their pre tensions, and on Friday the best qualities of wheat were held 2d. per 701bs. higher, and for superior Western Canal Flour 295. per barrel was asked. By our letters from Scotland we learn that an active inquiry had been experienced for seed Wheat, which, with the reported rise in the southern markets, had led to an advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. In Ireland prices of all sorts of provisions have risen consideraly within th e l ast few weeks, and the most recent accounts from thence state that the distress among the poorer classes is very great. Indian corn, which had for some time been comparatively neglected, had again began to excite attention, and it was expected that this article would be extensively used during the winter, owing to its relative cheapness.--Marh- lade Express.

For some considerable time past there ha ve b een sma ll supplies of calves, a d also, we believe, swine from Belgium, and the extension of the traffic to another and important description of live stock will command attention, and is of interest.

And now for the fable which specially bears, On matters connected with sporting affairs. Two pointers one day (so the narrative goes), Having met in a field, had a chat, nose to nose. " Good morning (said Pincher), pray how is the game, And how is your toaster—l don't know his name ; I met him just now, and I saw from his coat, He had patronised MOSES, those tailors of note." "Exactly (said Tray), that's a capital guess, You know what is what,' in a matter of dress. The merits of MOSES seem pretty well known, Where a barrel has bang'd,' or a feather has flown. Nor need we to wonder, for really (said Tray), Their shooting-coats rank as the first in their day. The coats made by MOSES are fitting and firm, And are cheap in the very best sense of the term." While Tray thus described the prime garments on sale, Pincher showed his assent by a wag of the tail. And I, as a gentleman using a gun, Took notes of the chat, and resolved to be one Of the firmest adherents of MOSES and SON. LIST OF PRICES. MADE TO BELABOR'.

Shortly after that event the present Earl Fitzhardinge, who then bore the courtesy title of Lord Dursley, and had a seat under that designation in the Lower House of Parliament, presented a petition to the Crown for a writ of summons, as Earl Berkeley, but some doubts having arisen touching the marriage upon which the petitioner's right to the peerage rested, the Prince Regent was pleased to refer the petition to the con sideration of the Lords, and a decision was come to adverse to the claimant. By that judgment the al leged marriage of the deceased Lord in 1785 was disallowed, and the inheritance to the title opened to the eldest son, born after the nuptials of 1796, which the decision of the Peers confirmed, viz., the Hon. Thomas Morton Fitzhardinge Berkeley, who is, de jure, Earl of Berkeley, but does not assume the title. As he has no child, being in fact unmarried, his next younger brother, the Hon. G. C. Grantley F. Berkeley, is heir pre sumptive to the honours. By the will of the late Earl (in which the marriage of 1785 is solemly declared to have taken place), Berkeley Castle and all the broad demesnes of the family are bequeathed to his eldest son, the present Lord Fitzhardinge, and an annuity of 7001. a year is bequeathed to each of his younger sons, the estates being strictly entailed (after the death of the present possessor, Earl Fitzhardinge, and the male heirs of his body) on each in succession, but a proviso forbids the assumption of the title by any one of them, under penalty of a forfeiture of all benefit to be derived from the testamentary bequest. The deceased Earl's public marriage, as confirmed by the Lords' decision, took place, as we have already men tioned, in 1796 • prior, however, to this date, four o f his Lordship's children by the same lady were born ; but the Earl declared that he had been privately married to the Countess in Berkeley Church, 30th March, 1785, assigning as a reason for the second nuptials, that the witnesses to the first were all dead and the vouchers to establish all destroyed, in conse quence of the great secrecy observed ; and he con firmed that assertion in his last will and testament. particular THEMALTA.e arrivedcargohe greatest occurrenceinconve niencecommerce is surveillance. About two o'clock P.M., the captain, accompanied by his wife, pulled to the usual landing-place, and disembarking walked into the town, visiting some shops, the armoury at the palace, and his consignee. Immediately the latter, Mr. H. Morris, saw him, he informed him of the f a c t th at he had infringed the quarantine-laws, and got him to go off, and then, as he was compelled to do under heavy penalties, in formed the officer at the head of the quarantine de partment of the fact. No sooner was it known, than the island was placed in quarantine until the 15th inst., the day on which the brig would have been admitted to pratique had she remained here.

Had a health guardian been:put on board, or the vessel even guarded outside by a boat, this accident eould not have happened. It is impossible (however care less Captain Tait may have proved himself in not asking of proper persons how to act if he intended to land) that he could have known to what his rash pro ceeding would have led ; for, independent of the in convenience he has doomed the commercial interests to suffer, he has, as will appear by the following extract from the municipal law, subjected himself to some very severe penalty : "Municipal Law of Malta, cap. 3, reg. 41 of the regulations concerning the Health Department.—The master and crew of any ship, whether native or foreign, entering the quarantine harbour to perform quaran tine, is held to the rigorous observance of the orders which are given or prescribed by the health officers. Whoever contravenes, should the contravention directly or indirectly affect the Health Department, or in any way prejudice it, he is liable to the pain of death. " And in every other case the punishment shall be arbitrary (by the judges), but rigorous according to the peculiar circumstances of the occasion and the nature of the contravention." In the quarantine harbour there is one thing deeply to be deplored—that is, that vessels in pratique are allowed to remain there. If no health guardian is put on board a suspected vessel, how can the health guardian on duty on shore know if the persons land ing are in quarantine or free pratique ? To the want of knowledge of the English language by the persons on shore to whom Mr. Tait applied for information is probably owing the very serious accident which forms the subject of this communication. The Bulldog steam-frigate has been sent out with orders to proceed to ports on the Continent, as far as Leghorn, with information of the circumstances, addressed to the health officers, by whom the period of quarantine to which we by them shall be con demned will be fixed and and made ,Itriown to us. The Italian steamer which arrived yesterday would not even take her mails ! The circumstance, to her at least, is a God-send of the most favourable cha racter. THE WELSH IN MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL.— It is stated that, in Liverpool, there are at present from 40,000 to 50,000 Welsh, who are almost all Dissenters. The numerous meeting-houses are crowded to overflow ing, whilst the only Welsh church in Liverpool is al most desertvd. In Manchester the Welsh have no church to resort to, but thousands of the Welsh residing there attend Dissenting places of worship, where they hear instruction in their own native tongue.—Liverpool Albion. _ _ _ INCENDIARY FIRE AT CLAY WIIEELS.—It is again our painful duty to record one of those fires which there appears every reason to regard as having originated in an incendiary act. It took place at 1% hat are known as the Clay Wheels, about three miles from Sheffield, near Wadsley-bridge, and situated on the river Don. Tin , property belongs to H. M. Greaves, Esq., end consists of tour rooms, all on the ground floor, and which are let out to edge tool, table blade, and file grinders,—Sheffield Times. EXPORTS. Coffee—A brisk inquiry has prevailed, principally for prime new, of which the supply has been limited, and the stock, which amounts to 30,000 bags, consists almost exclusively of old.

The closing transactions—for Seagull were at 27 per cent. to I ; for the northern steamer, and sub s:equently, until the 18th inclusive, 273- was the quo tation, whilst from the 19th to the 21st, bills to some extent were negotiated at 271 to 271, principally at 27, and at the latter quotation the market was flat at the close of business on Saturday. MONTE VIDEO, AUG. 13.—There does not appear to be an extensive business doing at this place. The following are the latest transactions reported, and the prices current : Hides—The demand is limited; and as there are few buyers in the market, the sales continue of a trifling character. 401bs. descriptions, 4 dolls. 100 c, ; manufactured raw, 1 doll. 600 c. to 1 doll. 700 c.— Tallow is in good demand ; melted, 2 dolls. to 2 dolls. i~ ~/ ty ;— ) „7 NAVAL INTELLIGENC PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAIre,---The Recru . , 12, iron - brig, Commander Adolphus Slade, arrived at Spit head this morning from Lisbon, which she left on the 4th, bringing the latest news from Portugal. At the above date Sir Charles Napier's squadron was at anchor in the Tagus, but was to leave for another • trial cruise on Wednesday, the 6th inst., accompanied by the Amphitrite and Trincomalee razeed frigates, which latter were to be most especially tried. They :Arrived on the Ist of October, Trincomalee first by a " long pu11.." The Recruit having a very foul bottom on the atar'lx)ard side, was not considered likely to make a respectable passage to England, consequently no dispatches for the London daily journals were en trusted to her ; she has, however, shown her capabi lities, and reached Spithead within eight days— actually less; time than has been taken by many Go vernment st . e. tillers. The Recruit will come into harbour to h i we her bottom cleaned. Yesterday, outside the Wi t tht, she met the Howe, with the royal standard flying (about eleven A.m.), and made sail, the Scourge ha`ing just cast off her warps, and sa luted with twe,l ty-one guns. The Amphion, the Arab, and the Ni tatilus were not in sight at that time. The Recruit brae uht letters from the squadron in the Tagus. The Fire Queen' steam-yacht, Comm an d er John ston, whose feat N ye recorded yesterday in having overtaken the Hoy, when she had 30 miles' start, was, after the perforinance of that service, tried for several hours in run fling the measured mile in Stokes' Bay, to try accuratel y her rate of steaming, but she did not perform so w•cia as she has done on long trips, only averaging 131 kn ois per hour. Nothing has up to this time been pubi icly known of this vessel, or how she came into the rt yal service, further than that she has been purchased fu ito it by the Admiralty very lately from Mr. Asshetora Smith. That she is worthy of her present position, .however, no one can for a moment doubt. Her e.rireme length is 177 feet; length of keel, 154 feet; length for tonnage, 1474 feet; extreme breadth, 20 feet; depth, 10 feet; draught of water, when laden, 5 feet 3 inches aft, 5 feet forward. She has asi u,gle steeple engine by Mr. R. Napier, of Glasgow, who ,built the vessel in June, 1846. She can stow 18 tons: of coals in her bunkers, and consumes one ton per ho tn. full steaming, taking three-quarters of an hour to get up her steam. She is of 312 tons, and is a ren to rkably good sea-boat, carrying fore-staysail and jib., foresail, mainsail, and spanker, squaresail, and gaff - topsails. Her stowage as a yacht is roomy, and hc :r accommodations most elegant. The Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Ryder, re mains at Spithead with stea fa up, ready to proceed immediately. The Duke at ed Duchess of Palmella and family and Mr. Percy D ()Tie are expected to em bark this evening. The Cambrian, 40, Capta u i Plumridge, was towed out to Spithead this afternotx ). She is still short of men. The Rhadamanthus steam- transport, Master Com manding Jonathan Aylen, ws s undocked to-day and placed alongside the Blake ,hulk to complete her refitment. The Undine steam-yacht, Master Commanding (acting) G. Allen, returned this forenoon from Ply mouth. The Myrmidon steam-vessel, L.;eutenant Command ing E. F. Roberts, was docked this morning to make good defects. The Fanny, the Admiral's yacht, Mr. J. scarlett master, returned from London to-day. In addition to the promotion of Commander C. B. Hamilton to the rank of captain, which we an nounced yesterday, the following promotions save been made : Commander William Louis Sheringham (1841), who has for many years been employed in co m mand of the Fearless and Dasher in surveying the Solent. Mate—Arthur Braithwaite Warre (1846), late of the Hiberna, 104, flag ship in the Mediterranean, has been promoted by Lord Auckland to the rank of lieutenant. The following officers have been promoted by the Board of Admiralty, for services during the late fa mine in Ireland : Commander Thomas Fisher (1841), now in corm mend of the Stromboli steam sloop. Commander James Crawford Caffin (1842), now in command of the Scourge steam sloop. Lieutenant Charles Richardson Johnson (18409, of the Comet, now in command of the Fire Queela steam tender. Lieutenant John T. W. French (1837), who has commanded the Dasher in her arduous service in dis tributing supplies on the coast of Ireland. Lieutenant David A. Buchan (1841), who was first lieutenant of the Firefly, with Captain Beechey, sur veying in the Irish Channel, and recently com manded her in distributing provisions on the coast of Scotland. Lieutenant F. Lowe (1837), who commanded the Pluto steam vessel, in conveying and distributing provisions on the coast of Ireland. APPOINTMENTS. Commander H. R. Wingrove, who was promoted in November last, after many years' good service with Captain 'Washington, in surveying at Harwich, Dover, &c., and who has commanded the Blazer in the relief service on the coast of Ireland, has been appointed to the command of the Stromboli steam sloop, with Sir C. Napier's squadron, vice Fisher, promoted. Lieutenant G. T. C. Smith (1842), who has com manded the Lucifer steam vessel, in the relief service on the coast of Ireland, has been appointed to command the Blazer steam vessel, to be re-commissioned at Woolwich for service in the Mediterranean. Lieutenant Sir Godfrey Webster, Bart. (1840), who for some time commanded the Shearwater steam vessel, in the relief service on the coast of Scotland, has been appointed to command the Tartarus steam vessel, to be re-commissioned at Woolwich for foreign service. Lieutenant William Calmady Nowell (1828) has been appointed to command the Ardent steam vessel in the Mediterranean, vice Baker, superseded. Naval Cadet H. Graham, to the Howe, 120, gone to Madeira. By the above promotions (which we hope to see speedily followed by others, raising equally deserving and quite as hard-working officers of another class to higher rank) the commands of the Scourge, Comet, Fire Queen, Dasher, Firefly, and Pluto steam vessels become vacant, the first four belonging to this port. The Fire Queen is put under the orders of Com mander Ryder, of the Vixen, and will take out the Duke of Palmella and family, and Mr. Percy Doyle to that ship, on their arrival. Wind S.E., moderate breezes ; weather dry, but cloudy.—Five WOOLWICH, OCT. 12.—The Monkey steam-vessel, Master-Commander Bryant, left Woolwich at one ;clock, P.M., to-day, and arrived at the Commercial Dock Pier, at Deptford, shortly before two o'clock, with a portion of the crew of the Black Eagle and riggers from Woolwich Dockyard, to assist in endea vouring to launch the Banshee from Mr. Thompson's building-yard. The workmen had been indefatigable in their exertions since the stoppage of the launch on the previous day, and had removed the ribands, which appeared to be tight near the water, and it was anti cipated the launch would have been effected; but, unfortunately, the whole power of the Monkey steam vessel, and the united exertions of the workmen, with screws and other appliances, could not move her an inch, and only had the effect, to all appearance, of fixing her more firmly on the ways. Mr. Lang, jun., Mr. Thompson, and numerous scientific and practical men who were present, are at a loss to account for the difficulty of moving the vessel from her present position. After incessant labour and exertion from two o'clock to-day until half-past three o'clock, it was considered advisable to allow her to remain unlaunched. The band of the Royal Sappers and Miners were again in attendance, and numerous spectators, who f a o p r pe th ar e e l d au t n o ch fe in e o g l o f f r th Ar i l sfi . nTehovmespseslo7s, very y os g e r a ea n t x . le A ty t half-past three o'clock shores were placed again s t the sides of the vessel, and s he t h u s remains per fectly secure. LOItD ASHLEY AND THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS AT DUNDEE. — O n Saturday forenoon L or d Ashley, who has been for a few days residing at Rossie Priory with Lord Kinnaird, paid a visit, in company with his host and Sir David Brewster, to the Industrial or Ragged School. In anticipation of their coining, a number of ladies and gen tlemen, who interest themselves in the welfare of the school, assembled in the room. After having been put through a variety of exercises by their teachers, the children were examined by Lord Ashley in the several departments of their secular and sacred instruction. The appearance of the children, and the intelligent replies given by them to most of the questions asked, evidenced an extraordinary progress during the short time which has elapsed since they were placed under tuition. Lord Ashley expressed himself much astonished and pleased with their intelligence; and briefly addressed them, urging them to industrious and virtuous habits, and to the exercise of grateful feelings towards their excellent teachers, and the kind friends who had done so much for them. His Lordship subsequently delivered an address in Tay square church upon the importance of establishing industrial school. FATAL EXPLOSION OF GAS IN WALSA LL CHURCH. Sunday evening, about a quarter to eight o'clock, immediately after service, and while the last of the con gregation were leaving the porch, a terrific exphedon was heard, which shook the building, blew out almost every window, and shattered the pews in every direction. When the alarm bad somewhat subsided the building was entered, and a scene of devastation presented itself ; and among it all lay the body of the beadle, a man named Lunn, dreadfully shattered and mangled. It aanpd pears that for some weeks past an escape, of gas has taken place under one of the churchwarden! pews, Lunn had gone to the spot with a candle immediately after the congregation departed, and the gas comin g i n contact with the flame, the explosion resulted. The damage done is estimated at upwards of 1,000/. An inquest was held on the body of . Lunn on Mo n d ay , an d was adjourned till yesterday evening, s lut h ir- eso. lis..
