MAGNIFICENT ESTATES and NOBLE RESIDENCE IN SOUTH LANCASHIRE within FOURTEEN MILES of LIVERPOOL, comprising the extensive and very valuable DOMAINS and MA NORS of BOLD, BURTONWOOI), and SUTTON, presumed to be one of the most important and improving Properties that has ever been offered for sale. illE ti S en la ou ll re A d. L with tr ons Stll,illTf rom H t ad SON h n proprietor t h o ave an nounce that the above truly magnificent and very valuable FREEHOLD ESTATES, together nearly 7,000 statute acres, em bracing some of the finest land in the county, and almost in a ring fence, will be submitted to PUBLIC S ALE (if not previously dis posed of by Private Contract). They embrace the important " Manor of Bold," with its splendid mansion, gardens, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all In excellent order, and distinguished as " The Bold . Hall Estate," a , .1 comprising ,within itself about 4,300 acres most su perbly timbered, and well stocked with game, also " The Burtonwood' Estate" adjoining, which contains nearly 1,400 acres, very finely timbered, together with " The Sutton Estate " ciosely contiguous, consisting of about 1,030 acres of excellent land skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of St. Helen's, and containing mines of superior coal, and also beds of clay of great value for pottery purposes. The whole of these fine estates are let (with the exception of the parks aid demesne farm, which are in hand) to responsible tenants at moderate rents, and produce between 11,0001. and 12;0001. per annum, exclusive of royalties and rents re ceivable from coal mines, which must annually increase. Tho ' limits of an advertisement will only admit of a brief outline of the numerous natural and great local advantages of this most important and splendid domain. The Mansion of Bold stands upon a fine ele vated part of the park, winch contains about 600 acres, richly studded with noble timber, and sheltered by venerable oak woods of the finest growth. Within the park are the remains of the ancient hall, moated round, and which, from a period little later than the Conquest, has been the seat of the maternal ancestors of the present owner. The Sutton Estate possesses rare advantages ; is intersected by the London and North-Western. and St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its position and nature, its valise must be annually increased. The St. Helen's Coal-field, containing an average thickness of 70 feet of coal, is believed to extend under a considerable portion of the Sutton Estate ; part of such mines are already in lease, and must be the source of a vast revenue. The Sutton Station of the London and North-Western Railway is distant about a mile from Bold Hall, affording easy access to all parts of the kingdom. Warrington is distant from Bold 5% miles; Liverpool only 14 ; Manchester, 20 ; and London, less than 200. The Bold and Burtonwood Domains and Manors may be purchased without the Sutton Property, which will probably be offered in lots. For further particulars and cards to view the property, and to treat for the purchase, apply at their Offices in Waterloo-place, Pall-mail, London. Particulars may also be had of Messrs. Rowson and Cross, Solicitors, Prescot, Lancashire; or Mr. Alexander Bannerman, Land Agent, South Cottage, Chorley.

THE IRISH BAR. (Continued from the Law Review.) But we have strayed so long there we have scarcely time for a stroll, through the Four Courts. Yet it is worth the trouble. The hall of that building is a spacious circle, surmounted by a very beautiful dome, beneath which were then daily collected all the Bar bustlers, and all the idlers of Dublin. Let us suppose ourselves there in the year 1806, (alas, forty years ago!) and commence our introductions. And atop. Mark well that slight, short figure, with restless gait and speaking gesture—he with the uplifted face, obtruded under lip, and eyes like living diamonds. See how the young man cluster round him. Observe the spell bound gaze—hark to the ringing laughter. That is Curran—the unique, the wondrous, the inimitable Curran—who spoke as poets in their inspiration wrote, and squandered wit with Rabelais' profusion. Curran, whose words, merry or mournful, as his country's music, commanded tears or laughter at his bidding. Curran—in evil days erect amidst the grovelling, pure amidst the tainted—in public life the most consistent of patriots—in private, the most social, exquisite, enchanting of companions. Pass we away from him. Times never to return or be forgotten. Hours to which his genius gave the wings of angels, as bright and swift, and, sad to say, as tran sient in their flight, rise up before me, and forbid aught else to mingle with their memory. And 10, singularly enough, here comes MacNally—Leonard MacNally— Curran's junior in most of the State trials consequent upon the dreadful "'98." We have lived to hear the question,— " Who fears to speak of '98?" Ido for one. I fear even to think of it. Accursed car of blood and terror--of torture and conflagration— of widows and of orphans! May the annals of mankind never be stained by such another! When the pitch-cap and the triangle had done their work, and the drum-head courts-martial allowed the law to speak, MacNally became prominent on the scene. His very appearance fixed attention. Not naturally deformed, he yet seemed so. He had the misfortune, it is said, to have all his bones broken at one time or another. He parted com pany with both his Usti:ohs, and either would not, or could not, tell how ; the latter most probably, as he always accounted for it, but never was there a tune richer in variations. He had one leg longer than the other, and one arm shorter, and limped like a witch. His eyes and voice pierced you like arrows; and served him well in cross-examination. Had MacNally devoted himself to literature, he would probably have been distinguished. His opera of Robin flood, once very- popular, still keeps the stage. It was a common practice with the juniors to play on his vanity respectine this production and the vast sums it brought him. The wicked process was this. They first got him to fix the ageregate amount, and then, luring him into details, he invariably, by third-nights and copy-rights, quintupled the original. This was a good pendant to the way he lost the thumbs. But the fault lay in the strength of his imagination being greater than that of his memory. He was more fortunate in his dramatic than in his legal lucubrations. As his chief practice at the bar, at one time considerable, lay in the criminal courts, he thought himself called on to produce a law book, which resulted in the publication of his " Justice of the Peace." This was meant to be a practical work for the special guidance of the country gentlemen. Eminently practical it soon proved to be. Before six months elapsed most magistrates in Ireland were personally familiar with the perfections of a writ. It was a high treat to hear the author's cross-examina tion of one of the victim students. "In the name of Heaven, my good man, what could have prompted you to act in such a manner ?" " Prompted me ! Mr. Mac Nally—Mr. MacNally, I'm more than astonished at you. I acted on the authority of your own book." " Oh, my dear Sir, I am humbly conscious of its too numerous defects ; but I pledge myself to you to correct them all, when—it comes to a second edition." MacNally's ori ginality and supposed patriotism rendered him an espe cial favourite with Curran. His was the last hand he shook in Ireland previous to the visit to this country, which terminated in his death. Associated intimately in the treason trials, neither of them were supposed particularly adverse to the cause which they defended. Having mutually agreed not to enrol themselves in the "lawyers' corps organized at that period, Curran was much surprised one morning at his friend's announce ment that he meant to become a member I " Have you considered the risk you run, my dear Mac ?" said Cur ran. " What do I care for risks ? Who doubts my courage ?" "No one who knows you ;—but the risk you run is from mutiny,—from disobedience of orders. You'll be shot. When the adjutant cries march,' you'll unquestionably halt." Amongst the memorable men they defended was the Rev. Mr. Jackson, once well known in England. He had been secretary to - the celebrated Duchess of Kings ton, and was understood to have composed all the letters in her envenomed controversy with Foote. Becoming unhappily ineoaued with the sedition of the day, he was betrayed byr;an associate, dogged to Ireland by the directions of Pitt, and, when the plot was ripe, con victed of high treason. In order to avoid judgment and attainder, he took poison, and died in the dock un sentehced. As MacNally bent over the dying man, he faintly whispered, " We have deceived the senate." It sickens the heart even to think on the tragedies enacted in these times. The miserable man who sold Jackson's blood received 1001. a year, as the purchase money, from his employer, Alas, what times they were! Society became chaos. No man dare trust his bosofii friend—if he did the scaffold repaid his confidence. Wretches actually sat at the table of their host, and dandled his children on their knee, while they were making or collecting evidence for his conviction. What a scene was disclosed on the trial of the Shearesl The ac addressed sse h d is a own jury immortality. witu k bayonets very air seemed mu r k y wit h prejudice. I t was i n suc h scenes, while vainly pl eading for the lives o f others, that Curran him say he never f e l t safe amid his military audience, and often We have heard at his breast. It was on one of these occasions that ho thundered forth, while every eye gleamed on him with fury— " Proceed to your office. Assassinate me you may—in timidate me you cannot." In Westminster Hall how strangely must it sound to hear of a law court peopled by military, and a bar with their robes worn over their regimentals! Yet in 1 798--99, such was the spectacle which Dublin often witnessed. Prominent in the crowd, and not a mere spectator, stood Peter Burrowes, the friend of Tone, of Emmett the elder, and of Plunket. With a profound intellect he was simplicity itself. He walked the earth neither seeing or hearing anything around him. As he rolled his portly figur e t h rough the streets, his hands in his men that and Peter so wasmetiin sometimes pockets, and his eyes glaring on his oldest friend as if he h a d never seen him, it was plain to all e t s h epmr produced e d T t h h i e s absence most ludicrous was effects. One d ay , in vincible,being counsel for a defendant in a voice gentlemen, eneunmusicaln, did you observe case of critn. con., an d i ntending to cast ridicule or some thing worse on hi s opponent, he thus broke forth with his and g the glowing ng enun enunciation:—"But, a description tßu my young friend gave of the lady? With what gusto he dwelt upon each charm! May Heaven forgive me, but strange thought s f orced them selves uppermost ! The couplet of the poet flashed on me as he proceeded— " fie best can paint a star, Who first has dippesihispencil in' ---" fie came to a dead stop---a roar from the bar broke upon the silence, when Peter, looki ng as if 'list awake, brayed out to his junior, " the name of Providence, what are they all laughing at?" The old stop—the vacant stare —the earnest interrogatory —produced an effect which sets description at defiance. Peter repaid the friendship of Lord Plunket with a return bordering on idolatry. In the memorable contest between his friend and Mr. Oroker for the representation of the University, the state of the poll might have been gathered from his aspect—bright or black as the votes alternated. At last victory declared itself, and out he rushed into the court yard as thoroughly intoxicated with joy as ever was Irish gentleman with whisky! In aught which affected the interests of his friend, his faculties embarked them selves till they became perfectly bewildered. Some still living, perhaps, may remember his motion for a criminal information against a printer, in the matter of Robert Emmett. It was a subject which deeply affected the feelings of Mr. Plunket, and no wonder. Emmett was represented in his dying speech to have reproached him as for which he was about to thesuffer—as ac constant guest at his father's table, and o f havin g , after being war me d in his b os om, stung his son to de ath ; a dr ea df u l accusat i on , but utterly unfound ed.

Parsons was himself an original and a wit. A tall, lanky man, he gave effect to his waggeries by a pe culiar lisp. The retrieved associates on their way to court for the first time, indulged naturally in mutual gratulations. " What a lucky hit (said Peter), who could have expected it?" " Everybody, Peter. What else had we before us, but the benefit of the act ?" There was a grave, literal meaning about Parsons's notabilia which at once affiliated them. One instance occurs to us in his answer to a Crown solicitor on circuit. This man had an awful halt in his gait, and limped hastily up to Parsons in the streets of Trim, with—" Pray, Mr. Parsons, did you happen to see Mr. MacNally walking this way?" "Upon my word, sir (was the answer), I never saw him walking any other way." MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED). DOUGLAS JERROLD. In this number of Jerrold we have a proposal for the establishment of an Art-Manufacture Union, the formation of which would, the writer opines, give to schools of design the impetus they lack at present. Speaking of the objects of such an institution he says : " An Art-Manufacture Union would substitute useful household articles, designed by eminent men, for the tasteless, misshapen utensils now in general use. The proposed union would distribute such prizes as Towns hend's Beer Jug—an article in common use, and beau tiful to the eye, and suggestive to the mind. The union would, in fact, spread art-manufacture after the fashion designed lately under the superintendence of Felix Summerley, on an extended scale, throughout the country. To such a union, poor people would contribute, because the certainty of reeceiving the value of their subscription, in the shape of some useful utensil, would enable them to afford the price of a ticket. In the establishment of this union, let the present system of distribution be extended on the most liberal principles, and allow non-subscribers to become purchasers of any article at its market value. When the idea of this union was first conceived its adoption appeared to be encum bered by so many obstacles that we were about to aban-. den it as an impossible proposition, had not a closer con sideration of the subject fixed in our mind a sense of the simplicity of the means whereby the objects of this union might be effected. " The first stumbling-block we set aside was the diffi culty that would attend the manufacture of artists' designs by the union. It at first appeared to us, that either the committee must cause a large stock of designs to be executed, or themselves select the prizes; and it is obvious that these alternatives are very great objections to the plan, inasmuch as the former proceeding would leave a large stock of goods on the society's hands, while the latter would partially frustrate the immediate object of the society's foundation, because it would compel the subscribers to abide by the taste of the committee. It afterwards occurred to us that these difficulties might be surmounted by the exhibition of designs which should be executed in any material that would bring them within the amount of the prizes, when the said design had been selected by the prize-holders. This method would effectually do away with the above objections, and at once simplify the principle of an Art-Manufacture Union. The subjects of the designs should include all household furniture, both the useful and the ornamental. The sale of the copyright of these designs would be a source of considerable income to the society. The manufacturers would be glad to become purchasers of the productions of our most eminent men; and so our patterns might be equal to our fabrics. This union must be a national institution, not a private speculation. Its sole object must be the advancement of art, and not the pecuniary gain of some few speculative individuals." The " Worker and the Dreamer" is brought to a conclusion in this number, and Paul Bell gives us a caustic article anent) courts and courtiers, under the title of "The Prince and the Philibeg." The number concludes with a long and well-written metaphysical disquisition on the " Cause of Surprise." We are promised in the January number a new story by the editor, to be called " Twiddlethumb Town, which is to be completed in twelve parts. TH -E PATRICIAN. Edited by John Burke, Esq. The " History of the Clubs of London" is brought to a conclusion in this number, in which we have the first part of a series of papers on the romantic heroes of history—Bayard, the chevalier sans peur et sans reprocke, being the hero who sits for his portrait in this number. Some of the achievements of the chevalier sans peur et sans reprocke; would in these degenerate days have subjected him to a pro secution for highway robbery, such for instance as his adventure with the banker whom he kidnapped in Italy, and from whom he plundered fifteen thousand ducats. The days of chivalry, notwithstanding all that Lord John Manners may say or sing in their praise, must have been anything but pleasant days for peaceable persons to live in. THE COMIC HISTORY OF ENGLAND. No. XVIII. By G. A. A'Beckett. This number of the Comic History carries us pleasantly through the rei gns o f Chemicals 11. and Jaynes 11., and concludes with a chapter on Litera ture, Science, and the Fine Arts. Of Sir Isaac Newton our author observes : "Though Newton was a pattern of modesty in his intercourse with the external world, he was bold enough in his approaches to Dame Nature, and would not allow her to hide her face from him, if by any amount of perseverance he could get a peep at it. He even had the audacity to go the length of tearing off her veil, for the purpose of revealing her beauties; and Nature, instead of becoming indignant at this rough treatment, was evi dently flattered by his attentions, to which she offered every encouragement." THE BRITISH ALMANAC and COMPANION. This, the first almanac which, eschewing the humbug of astrology and prophecy, dared to become what an almanac should be, viz., a useful year book of facts, still continues to maintain its proud pre-emi nence. In addition to an immense mass of useful information on various subjects, the Companion for 1848 contains a paper of great value on the progress of education in England, and another on the Government offices. [PRICE SD. THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN. (From the Dublin Evening Packet of December 4.) For years there has not been such a crowded house as that of Thursday night, boxes, pit, galleries, pigeon -holes, and even the stage, being filled with spectators. The dress-circle presented a most bril liant appearance, overflowing as it was with rank, fashion, and beauty; and the coup diced presented by the vast building, on the rising of the curtain, was one of the most magnificent we ever witnessed. The performances were by command of his Excel lency the Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon, who, accompanied by their suite, occupied the usual state box. In the front row of the adjoin ing box sat the Countess of Verulam, and the inter esting and graceful Countess of Caledon. Shortly after half-past seven o'clock, the Vice. regal party arrived at the piazza of the theatre, escorted by a half troop of the 7th Hussars. The band and colours, with a guard of honour of the 85th regiment, were in waiting, and presented arms as his Excellency alighted from his car riage, while the band played the national an them. His Excellency and the Countess, on entering the state box, were received with loud cheering, which they duly acknowledged, and this cheering was re doubled when a slight hissing from the galleries made itself heard. Lord Clarendon wore a blue Court uniform, with a broad red ribbon, and also the collar of the Order of St. Patrick ; and her Excellency, who was attired in a dark crimson velvet dress, or namented with black lace, wore a superb tiara and necklace of diamonds, and a stomacher of brilliants. The Commander of the Forces, who occupied his usual seat, met with the accustomed hearty reception when he entered the theatre, but the " boys " who were placed in the gallery to applaud Sir Philip Crampton, did not earn the price of their admission. Silence having been restored, the national anthem was sung by the strength of the company, after which the comedy of Much Ado about Nothing commenced the performances. We confess, that with all our knowledge of Mr. Kean's ability, and with the fullest appreciation of that sterling talent which has won those " golden opinions" he so eminently deserves, we were not prepared for such a genuine piece of life-like comedy as was em bodied in his representation of Benedick. We consi dered it a character entirely unsuited to him, and one not coming at all within the range and compass of his powers. But what obstacle is there that true genius cannot triumph over ? His Benedick was a perfect embodiment of the glorious creation of the world-re nowned bard. Every pungent sentiment and sting ing witticism was uttered with force and keenness, and his efforts to gain supremacy in the war of words with the witty and satirical Beatrice were re ceived with repeated bursts of laughter and applause. One peculiar and most excellent quality that distinguishes his comedy is, that it is not a whit exaggerated, and never puts on the meretricious garb of broad farce, too frequently donned by those in whose minds the plaudits of the judicious few does not unweigh that of a whole theatre of others. From the first scene to the last nothing was overdone, and yet all the minutest points were brought out in the most effective manner. Of the Beatrice of Mrs. Kean it is impossible to speak in too warm terms of admiration. Graceful, ani mated, full of life, spirit, and piquancy—never was the " dear Lady Disdain " more faithfully or more beautifully imagined. Her rallying of the masked Benedick as " the prince's jester, a very dull fool," was admirable ; and the causticity of Beatrice's wit, and the biting nature of her sarcasms, lost nothing in the genuine emphasis of their delivery. Were we, in fact, to attempt to speak of Mrs. Kean's entire performance as we feel it deserves, we should begin with the first ironical query, anent the return of " Signor Motanto " from the wars, and terminate only with her acceptance of Benedick, " upon great persuasion," noting every word uttered with justly bestowed admiration. Claudio was well sustained by that very efficient actor, Mr. Bland, and the Dogberry 'of Barrett was fairly rendered. The remaining parts were tolerably cast, and the comedy altogether passed off with the utmost eclat. The farce of the Barber Bravo con cluded the performances, his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon remaining until its termination, when the National Anthem was again sung, and the Viceregal party retired. Last night the new play of the Jacobite was per formed, Mr. Romer mutilating the part of John Duck after his peculiar deadly-lively fashion. No wit, however sparkling, no humour, however racy, could survive his delivery thereof. We may, indeed, speaking of Mr. Baker, to succeed whom this origi nal has been imported, use the words of Hamlet, and say— " What judgment " Would step from this to this ?" POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. Not anything of great importance has been intro duced into the scientific world since our last notice of this most valuable repository. Several additions, however, have been made to the museum of a minor character, all aiding in the general interest, though separately of no great importance. Amongst the most recent deposits may be observed a sofa bedstead, of a very compact description,' by Mr. Burdett. A safety azletree, by Ehyn, and Millichap. Fuller and De Bergur's patent buffer springs for railway carriages ; this latter is a valuable application of vulcanized caoutchouc. The buffer springs formed in this way are beautifully elastic, not more than one-fourth the weight of steel springs, and occupy a much less space. Price's chopping machine is a neat little contrivance for domestic use, and would, no doubt, prove a serviceable appendage to the kitchen. This is but a portion of the many inge gious contrivances that have been recently intro duced in this truly national institution, and the advantages derived by the inventor in being thus enabled to place the work of his ingenuity where it can become known to the world, and thereby appreciated, must be at once evident. The laws of nature in reference to sanitary measures are still being discussed by Dr. Bachhoffner, and still proves attractive by the importance of the subject. Draip traps, models illustrating the ventilation of sewers, &c., &c., are to be found here. Little has been left undone by the mechanical portion of the world in endeavouring to render our cities and towns a 3 salubrious as possible. THE ADMIRALTY.—We understand that Captain Alexander Milne, of the St. Vincent, son of the late distinguished Flag-officer Admiral Sir David Milne, G.C.8., who was second in command at the battle of Algiers, will be the new Lord of the Admiralty, in room of Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8., who, as we announced yesterday, has been appointed to succeed the late Rear- Admiral Shirreff as Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard. —Morning paper. Mr. Thomas Frederick Elliott, the senior Com missioner of the Colonial Land and Emigration Board, has been appointed Joint-Assistant Under-Secretary of State for the Colonial Department with Mr. Merivale. Mr. Murdock, who has been appointed a Commissioner in the place of Mr. Elliott, has been one of the senior clerks in the Colonial-office. Among the company present at the Grand Opera, Theatre Royal Drury-lane, on Wednesday evening, we observed—The Marquis of Clanricarde, Lady Augusta Lennox, Lady Caroline Lennox, Lady Brinekmas, Lady Lawley, Lord Henry Lennox, Lord Arthur Lenn ox , Lord Robert Clinton, Lord Suffield, Lord Brooke, Sir Henry Goring, Sir William de Bathe, Count Felix de Latour, the Hon. Major Needham, Colonel Taylor, Colonel Hughes, Captain Maxwell, Captain Cockburn, Captain Cuddy, Mr. Chandos Pole, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Salomon, &c. THE HALL AND THE HAMLET. By the Author of " The Book of the Seasons," &c.—Under the title of " The Hall and the Hamlet," that able delineator of rural life and manners, William Howitt, has just put forth a new work which cannot fail to interest a very wide circle of readers. Here may the English gentle man—the possessor of " The Hall"—find himself sketched to the life; and here, too, the humble denizen ' of " The Hamlet" may see himself pourtrayed in truth ful colours, by one who has well studied his character and habits. There can be no doubt that Mr. Hewitt has had in his mind originals, whom he has 's eye introduced as the princ i p al liv p i e n r g sonages of this charming work. On this point, however, he observes, "As we deal very much wit h facts and realities, we must be careful not to loca lise too minutel y . The aim of a writer should be to draw, examples, lessons, and warn ings, from the actualities of human life, rather than to , I enable the commo n fin g er of the g ossi p to p oi nt to this, I or that person, and say ' This is he!' That is she!'

After a vote of thanks to the committee for their labours, the meeting separated, and, for the second year, without de claring a dividend. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert walked early yester day morning in the pleasure grounds and plantations of Osborne. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, took an airing yesterday fore noon in the vicinity of Osborne. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent took an airing in the pleasure grounds of Osborne yesterday afternoon. The Hon.

Mr. Brooke, Governor of Labuan, had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday. Mr. Archibald Boyd had also an interview yesterday with the Noble Earl, at the Colonial office.. Mr. Rowland Hill had an interview with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official resi dence in Downing-street. The Bishop of Tasmania had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Home-office. Mr. Beckett Denison and Mr. Baxter had an inter view with the Right Hon. Edward Strutt yesterday, at the office of the Commissioners of Railways in the Board of Trade. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a meeting yesterday. Viscountess Palmerston arrived in town yesterday, from Brighton. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yesterday. The Lords present were—the Master of the Rolls, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and the Judge of the Admiralty Court. Mr. Purton Cooper, Q.C., for the appellants, with whom was Mr. Speed, opened an appeal of " Flint v. Warren," from a decree of the Supreme Court of Equity of New South Wales. The case lasted the whole of the day. Mr. Wood, Q.C., and Mr. Cole, appeared for the respondents. THE COURT, &C.—WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVEN advices from Osborne, it appears that although the recent tempestuous weather has co ns id e rably impeded the planting, &c., now going on under the immediate superintendence of her Majesty and the Prince Consort for the improvement of their marine residence in the Isle of Wight, there is no doubt that the work will be suf ficiently advanced so as not to interfere with the intended return of the Court to Windsor Castle on the 21st inst. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and her Lady in-Waiting (Lady Fanny Howard), in crossing from Gosport to East Cowes, in the Fairy steamer, last Tues day afternoon, on a visit to her Majesty and the Royal Family at Osborne, had a very . tempestuous passage, and suffered great inconvenience in getting on shore at the landing-place. Happily, however , her Royal High ness's health has not been at all injured by the accide nt. .

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several coUltions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchednes , s, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it he 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 are n p a r tme e t and ive oconsequencef greater s o e f v : r q i i t t y ch of this m Treatise iaery t, t professes an t o dilate, frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of mere importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are ifr,esmrsaustile. beyond the roach 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 riably characterise the intelligent and practical disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and,abovvehayislicisaenc,reacnyd, to i" v t the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal sinalcatiens that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MEIST 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. pablished by the Author, and may be had of Kent and Richards, Fatemoster-row ; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street; Static, Tichisome se.t.

DUBLIN, DEC. B.—The accounts from the disturbed districts are comparatively tranquil, and to-day there are not even rumours of murders. CAPTURE OF .ROCKITES BY TIPPER &FY PEASANTS. A great and most salutary change has commenced in North Tipperary, the chief seat of agrarian disturbance. The sagacious and far-seeing policy of the Lord-Lieu tenant, in rewarding those persons who distinguish themselves by resisting the armed bands engaged in the perpetration of crime, has excited a spirit of emula tion amongst th e peasantry. The Tippe rar y Vi n di ca t or of this day supplies the following most gratifying evi dence of the beneficial change produced by the admonitory address of his Excellency, sustained and enforced as it has been by the parish priest of the district in question, Ardoroney and Ballygibbon, in the diocese of Kil laloe : " On Sunday morning last, the servant man of a farmer, named Michael Kenna, living near Ardoroney, got out of bed to inspect the fields, as is hi s usua l custom, when three fellows, who had been watching in some of the outhouses until he left the house, came to the door, where their further advance was checked by the house-dog, who fatacked them furiously. Enraged at the interruption, one . of the p arty shot the dog, and were proceed ing to burst in the door, when Kenna, whom the noise had aroused, taking his gun, opened it himself, at the same time crying out, • Come on, boys, fire away—l'm ready for yon.' 'I hey then moved back and fired a shot, which the in trepid Kenna instantly returned ; and the marauders, seeing such a determined opposition, and fearing lest the neighbours would be upon them, took to their heels. Kenna's nephew and brother, both of whose dwelling s are within about th ree or f our h un d re d yar d s of his house, came to his assistance, and commenced a hot pursuit, which—to the credit of the neighbourhood be it said—was cordially joined in by all the neighbours and the inhabitants of all the houses by which they passed. After a run of three miles, the pursuers succeeded in capturing two of the party, whom they were conducting to Borrisokane, when a party of police same up, and offered to take charge of the persons and handcuff them, which the Kennas refused, and led their prisoners them• selves, to Borrisokane Bridewell. The third person is well known. The names of the two in custody are Freney and Foley, both inhabitants of Borrisokane. The happy result in this instance is owing altogether to the constant exhortations of the excellent parish priest, the Rev. Michael Scanlan, to his people, to put down disturbers like these." Here is a complete carrying out, by the peasantry, of the system of the " hue and cry," which is to be rendered compulsory by the Bill for the Prevention of Crime in Ireland, now before the House of Commons. But, in this case, the peasantry discharged the duty of polioe voluntarily, and their conduct is certainly deserving of the highest commendation. The bravery of the Henna family will, no doubt, obtain some substantial reward from the Lord-Lieutenant. Altogether there is a most auspicious indication of an improved spirit in Tipperary, calculated to lead to more valuable results than any coercion Act whioh it is in the power of any Government to devise. ROSCOMMOL—A solicitor, residing in the neighbour hood of Boyle, has received through the Strokestown post-office a threatening letter, of which the following is a copy :--.... _ _ " Kr,—Take notice, that it is painful to me to have to write to you about your poor client, which, to my own knowledge you have robbed them, so therefore it is my duty to look to them. Sir, I must inform you, that if you do not comply to justify, by heavens I will compel you, as it is my duty to do so ; therefore, take this as a warning and a caution, that I will leave you as low as Major Mahon ; so therefore, I will leave a place vacant at the Queen's Bench, and also at the Court of Common Plea for another that will have honour and principle in him.—Dated at my office, at Castlebar. " MOLLY M`GUIRE." ILLNESS OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—Considerable anxiety pervades the hall of the Four Courts this day. with reference to the continued indisposition of the Lord Chancellor. His Lordship has passed two restless nights, and can only be said not to have lost ground within the last few days. The following bulletin was issued this morning by Sir Henry Marsh and Dr. Mo han :—" The Lord Chancellor , had not a good night, but is in other respects as well as he was yesterday.' ILLNESS OF JUDGE BURTON.—The Evening Mail says, " We are happy to be able to state that the ru mours in relation to the health of Mr.. Justice Burton have been exaggerated] and that his Lordship may be shortly expected to resume his duties." Mr. R. U. BAYLY.—We are happy to say that this gentleman's health is progressing, and we hope soon to announce that he will be co m pl e t e ly out o f d anger. —Tipperary Vindicator. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM SPRING RACES.—Epsom Spring Meeting, as we stated some time ago, will take place on the Friday in the week before the Newmarket Craven Meeting. The subscriptions to the Bonus for the Great Metropolitan Handicap amount to a large sum, and will eventually, it is supposed, enable the Steward to add four or five hun dred pounds to the stake. PUG ILISM.—WALKER AND LANE.—Johnny Walker, of London, and Tom Lane, of likmingham. broil er o f the well-known Hammer Lane, have made good the whole of the money (41304) for their fistic tournament. The final deposit was made at Spring's, over a sporting dinner, and the men, who are each In admirable condi tion, and eager for the decision of the question of his title to the Championship of the Light -weights, have retired to their respective training quarters till Tuesday next. It was proposed, as the 14th is the day on which the Wolverhampton Steeple-chase will be run, to post pone the affair, to suit the convenience of several aris tocratic patrons of the belligerents, who wished much to be present at both affairs, but not possessing the faculty of Sir Boyl e Roche's bird, th a t o f being "in two places at once , " must of necessity forego either the one or the other. After some discussion, however, the postponement was negatived, among other reasons, be cause, according to sporting law, all bets (unless de clared on again) would be thereby nullified. The fixture, accordingly, remains according to articles. PEDESTRIANISM: JACKSON AND JEN KINSON.—The match of half a mile, for 251. a side, between the Ame rican Deer and the London Stag, announced for Monday next at Peckham, is off, Jackson having forfeited; deposit made to Jenkinson. Baron de Jaengler, Archbishop of Graetz, in Austrian Styria, has just been interrogated by a com mission, consisting of ecclesiastics and laymen, which as we have already stated, was appointed by the Austrian Government. to inquire into the charges of gross intolerance, alleged against this prelate. On the termination of its inquiries, the commission condemned the archbishop to fifteen days imprisonment, in his archiepiicopal palace, and to a fine of 500 florins. AUGMENTATION OF TUB ROYAL ARTILLERY.—An. order has been received at Woolwich for the formation, in January next, of an additional company to each of the ten battalions of the Royal Artillery, and another company will be added in April next, which will raise the strength of this branch of the service to ten com panies to each battalion, the same number as during the war establishment. The importance of artillery is now so evident that it is intended to add another battalion to the ten battalions already formed as soon as officers can be obtained. We understand, in consequence of a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, they have been pleased to direct that for the future Folkstone shall be a port for the admission of foreign silk g oods, there being at pre sent only five ports in Engla nd in which silk goods can be received. By this arrangement much benefit will arise by the saving of time and risk of the long sea pas sage from Boulogne to London. THE "OLDEN TIME"—CAPTURING A PLAG LIE AT FORTROSE.—Some two or three hundred years ago 1 Scotland was visited with a pestilental scourge , _ which was, it is said, prostrating thousan ds to the dust.
