AROWL AN D and SON, 20, Hatton-garden, • London, beg to caution the Nobility and Gentry being misled by the attempts of some shopkeepers, who, to compounds of their own manufacture, give the titles of " Macassar 011," "Kalydor," and " Odonto "—some under the implied sanction of Royalty, and the Government departments, with similar attempts at deception, while they copy the Bills, Labels, Advertisements, and Testimonials—substituting fictitious Names and Addresses for the real—of the Original Prel4tratio" The only genuine "Maces. sor Oil," "Kalydor," and " Odonto," are "ROWLANDS' " and the Wrapper of each bears the name of "ROWLANDS' " preceding that of the article, with their signature at the foot, in red ink—thus— A.

A A E. 31r One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may Wield himself under the plea of caution and worldly pradence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestie happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

(From the Leinster Express.) On last Sunday a dead body was found on the road side at the Sluggies, between Marlborough and the Great Heath. It bore no marks of violence, and it is 'evident death was not the result of hunger, for 7s. in silver sires' found , in . the pocket of deceased : some bread was also found on his—person, with a small diary containing s cra p s o f poetry and 'prose, i on a variety of subjects, written with a pencil, and bearing recent dates. But no clue tending to elucidate the name of the deceased was found amongst his papers. On Monday an inquest was held before John Hely Owen, Esq. The first witness examined was Mary Doran, of kilminchy. The deceased called at her house on Saturday evening, and asked for a night's lodging. Told him he could not get it, as there was no opie in the house but three lone women. " I'm a woe-worn old man," said he, ," and what have lone women to fear from me.?" He also said tobacco and beans (query Bacchus and Venus) had lost all influence over him, that ,the seven sleepers put together were not half as torpid as he was. Seeing he had no chance, he asked them the way to Clonaslee ; they showed hiin the Mountmelick road, but on leaving he said he would go by Maryborough., The manappeared to be going very slow,.he had a stick in his.hand. After some deliberation the jury found a verdict that " Deceased died by the visitation of God."

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE HIGHLANDS. LOCH LAGGAN, WEDNESDAY. Court Circulars are very meagre documents; and although one is published every day giving an outline of the manner in which the royal party spend their tide Ardverikie, it is probable that the curiosity of the public on the subject remains unsatisfied—l mean, of course, the reasonable and fair curiosity of the public ; for, as the Court has withdrawn into the wilds of Badenoch to escape observation, it would be unbecoming and rude to act the Paul Pry upon its movements. In these remote districts, where nature reposes amidst a solitude as perfect as Zimmerman ever pictured, it would be improper to chronicle the circumstances which give their hue and character to each day's amusements. Yet as these amusements are peculiar, ,and capable of general description, it appears only right that in this sense the public should know how the royal party kill time in the High lands. The Queen's present residence in the shooting lodge at Ardverikie, surrounded by a great forest, at once gives the clue to Prince Albert's principal occupation. I propose, therefore, to give you a short account of deer hunting in the Highlands, and the different mo d es by which it is pursued. A deer forest in thi s country i$ a very different thing from a deer forest in the south, and has, as a field for sport, far nobler and more commanding attributes. It covers a vast territory, f rom the prec i nc t s o f w hich flocks of every kind, ani l even " the human face di vine," except the owner o f it be a forester, are rigidly excluded. Everywhere aroun d l one ly mountai ns swell from the moorland bel ow i n en dless a n d irre gular succession; some wit4rassy declivities, others heathclad and sombre to their very tops, while not a few present their bald and scathed summits to the storm, all verdure disappearing from these Alpine heights, which are gathered into broad and frowning masses of rock, or sharpened by contending tempests into peaks and savage ridges. In the hollows between this labyrinth of hills is many a wild retiring corrie, with the ceaseless play of silvery streamlets sounding through its depths, with hillocks and ravines of countless number and varying proportions, giving shelter over its extent, and upon its surface spreading a carpet of the richest grasses. Through such a wilderness the eye in vain roves for any object which can connect the scene with the humanities of life—no house better than a deserted shieling, no yel low patches of corn land, no broad plantations, no sign nor symptom of man, but in their stead straggling birch trees along the rough watercourses ; old vener able pines standing in melancholy grandeur among the crags and precipices of the stern rnountainiiides, and, obtruding from the moss amidst vast boulders of granite, the mouldering trunks of trees, which in years long gone by covered the expanse with their stately vegetation: Such are the general characteris tics of a deer forest in the Highlands. For the animals themselves, to whose preservation these wastes arc devoted, they are, as every one knows, except at aw over ay the pros- o certain seasons, gregarious in their habits. Y ou w ill see them at early dawn when morning mists again, when creeping the shadowsupthe evening and lengthen melting pect, browsing where a bright green spot high up in some corrie marks where a spring well, copi ous an d cool, gushes out from the rocks. In the h ea t o f d ay h you igh he will a t h fi enrd, or them rak b i e n n, enjoyingtheeover ofdeep wo o d s , or the luxuries of a siesta; You may also catch a glimpse of a herd at this time resting on the brow of some mountain, over which the fresh air is creeping. Here, with their heads turned down the wind, and with a watchful hind in advance—her eye searching from the sum m it wlitst her companions cannot guard by their keen ears and nostrils—they occupy a position whi c h it i s almost impossible to approach unobserved, And which gives some idea of the acute instincts which protect them against the hunter. And how are they circumvented ? For that there are at present in the Highlands three different ways adopted, all legitimate and manly as sources of sport,' but of which unquestionably the first is stalking. A deer-stalker must have an iron frame, a keen eye, fleet feet, a deadly aim; he must be able to track, to calculate the shiftings of the wind, and the distances and cover of remote positions ; he must be fitted to bear cold and heat in rapid succession, to endure fa tigue and hunger, and to be patient, and silent, and cool under all. le must look at scaling a brae face with as much composure as a run upon a level; and among the various exigencies of a mountain life his invention must be ready, and his nerve firm. When he issues in the grey Niko of the morning from the bothie where he has parsed the night, dressed from top to toe in shepherd's plaid, a telescope slung behind his back, and his rifle in his hand, he studies the direction of the wind, and from the weather con jectures where the deer may be found. Then taking to the hill and traversing with swift but cautious steps the high grounds of the forest, he proceeds to some particular corrie or glen where he believes the game will be _found. Slipping silently along well under the edges ef the horizon, and sweeping with eye and glass the ground which each new bend in his progress, opens up to him, at last, after many a pause and lengthened survey, the deer are detected, their dun hidei faintly discernible from the surrounding objects, and seen at that great distance like specks. Then the work of stalking begins. Slowly and si lently, and in a recumbent position, from behind the nearest shelter, the game are examined, their number counted, their position accurately marked, with the direction of the wind upon it, and what the deer are about. Upon this state of things the hunter takes counsel with himself, and having arranged his plan of action away he starts, keeping in such a direction as to prevent their getting wind of him, and, holding as far as possible the high ground, he circumvents his prey, and after a circuit of several miles, perhaps, ar rives at last within reach. His path has been through soft morasses, in the bed of rugged watercourses, over gray cairns, and among sharp shingle, the debris of mountain torrents, until at last, dragging himself silently and stealthily up to the edge of some shelving rock, or on the shoulder s o f some pro j ect i ng steep, he sees the antlered head s o f t h e quarry moving before him. Not a moment is th en to b e lost; th e r ifl e i s at his shoulder, and levellin g hi s eye a l ong i ts b arre l,h e a ims t loyi'down'under the fbr e s h ou l der of t h e l arges t s t ag . At l the flash of the disch arge the noble anima drops, and one mom en t o f exult i ng ' trihmph re pays the long-doubtful and ar d uous pursuit. staggers and Deer-driving and passes also form an agreeable and exciting mode of hunting in a forest. The stag has his accustomed track in the wilds, which he fre• quents, just as men ha ve th e i r pathways. who are acquainted with th e h a bit s o f the animal of course know where it is likely to pass, there the sportsman. In his ambu s h, whichand place is gene rally on the brow of some mountain, or overlooking some hollow or ravine, he watches the approach of the game, while beaters are scattered over the space thus commanded, and with many a shrill whistle and prolonged halloah, try to drive the deer towards him. Sometimes, however, they are not within the ',beat ; sometimes they suspect danger, and burst back through those who urge them from behind ; some times they make for themselves new paths and escape from the threatened evil. In the meantime the sportsman crouches upon his pass, the cold mountain winds rushing past him, mist, rain, or snow—the concomitants of his solitary post, and, reaching his ear and eye ,from the valley stretched beneath his feet, the unwonted sights and sounds of these remote and stormy regions. He listens and watches during minutes that seem hours, and hours that seem days, and at last his patience is rewarded ; the clatter of hoofs is herd among the rocks, ascending to where he lies in breathless expectation, and in his lurking place he sees the herd pass by at a swinging trot. Steadily he surveys them, until the rough mane, rounded flanks, and spreading antlers of the heaviest stag appear in sight, and then, collecting himself for a moment, he brings the proud animal down. The third and last kind of deer-hunting still used in the Highlands is that with deer hounds, and a noble sight it is, though belonging more to the sports of remote and barbarous times. The dogs themselves are splendid animals familiarised to the public by the writings of Sir Wailer Scott and the paintings of Landseer. .There can be few finer sights than to see a large deer ;hound of the true old breed, his long wiry hair bristling with excitement, bounding after a stag, and at last, after many a struggle, closing on him and bringing him down. No one who has ever seen a spectacle of the kind can ever forget the thril ling interest with which it must have inspired him — the desperate terror of the deer as he fled, or the pitiable expression of the poor animal when hunted to death and gasping.his last breath. With the peculiar fascination which these wild sports have about them, it is not to be wondered at that deer forests are rapidly on the increase, and threaten to' overspread the land. Thirty _years ago there were comparatively few forests in the Highlands,' the principal 'being those of the Monie, Leah, Glenartney, Gaick, Braemar, and Athol. At a subsequent period those of Dalness, Gallovie, and Benaulder, were revived, and others created in Glengarry, Lochiel, Glenmoriston, and the Black Mount. And now, in addition to these, there are in existence the forests of Glen Strathfarar and Dalcataig, belonging to Lord Lovat. The, land thus covered with deer, and preserved for their, sole use, is of immense extent, and would, at a rough guess, if under sheep, yield a rental of about COURT CIRCULAR. ARDVERIKIE, SEPT. B.—The Marquis and Mar chioness of Abercorn arrived on a visit to her Majesty. There was no other addition to the royal dinner party. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent ar rived at her residence, Clarence House, St. James's, at half-past one on Saturdtty afternoon, from Frog more House, Windsor. Her Royal Highness left town at twenty minutes before three o'clock on her return to Frogmore House. Dispatches for the Governor of New South Wales were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial office. THE LATE FAILURES. Much excitement was occasioned on Saturday morning by the announcement of the failure of Gower, Nephews, and Co. The liabilities on.bills alone are alleged to amount to 600,0001., and it is considered probable that the total commitments of the firm will be found to reach 800,0001. For two years past the position of the house has been from time to time a subject of inquiry, and this in so many quarters as to lead irresistibly to the conclusion that nothing but the circumstance of one of the partners being a hank director could have kept it in a degree of credit up to this period sufficient to render possible the wide and crushing consequences which must now be sus tained. The standing of Mr. A. L. Gower in the hank direction was such as to bring him very nearly in rotation for the office of deputy-governor, and he was one of those passed over, or by whom the office was declined, on the recent occasion of the vacancy caused by the failure of Mr. Robinson. In addition to the post of bank director, we believe he also held that of governor of the Mines Royal Copper Company. The immediate causes of the present suspension are said to have consisted in the failure of Gemmell and Co., of Glasgow, and of some of the other houses Iwhich have recently been reported; but it is appre hended that the real difficulties of the firm will be found of much more distant date, and that its liqui dation will expose a long existing state of unsound ness. Railway speculations—the source whence the public are destined to find the solution to a deplorable succession of misfortunes yet to come—have operated, it is expected, in this instance to no small extent; and although in some transactions, such as those con nected with the Dutch Rhenish and Canadian Com panies, which do not occupy a very favourable place in the recollection of the community, the partners in the firm are understood to have made large profits by the peculiar mode whi c h was a d op t e d o f introducing the shares upon the market, there is every reason to believe that on the whole the losses sustained by them have been extensive. Consequent upon the failure of Gower, Nephews, we have that of Alison, Cumber lege, and Co., a smaller firm, in the South American -trade, with which they were connected. About a month back Mr. Alison sailed for Valparaiso, and as Mr. Cumber lege is already resident there, the junior partner, a Mr. Gower, is the only reProseligive of a house now in London. The liatilities in this case ave not been stated.— Times. VAUXHALL GARDENS. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. WARDELL. On Saturday evening the artists of this;:tablish [Tient presented a handsome and valuable tea service of plate to Mr. Robert Wardell, under whose judicious and spirited management this place of amusement has been made a source of varied and agreeable recreation to the public, as well as of profit to the proprietors. The secret of this success was manifested in the friendly feeling exhibited on this occasion between the employer and the employed, arising from a just appreciation of the rights of both parties, whose gains are equitably divided between the fair profits of capital and the just reward of talent and industry. The mutual interest which the parties have, under such circumstances, to co-operate to war d s one en d i s the best guarantee for success. The gentlemen who presented this memorial to Mr. Wardell stated it was offered " as a mark of the high estimation in which he is held by the various persons w h o h ave b een con nected with the gardens, for his urbanity and gentle manly conduct to all connected with the establish ment, and as a mark of the admiration in which he is held for his -unremitting exertions in connexion with the present season, under difficulties of no ordi nary kind." _ _ _ Mr. WARDELL, in acknowledging the compliment that had been paid, acknowledged the services which had been rendered to him by the professional talent of the establishment in every department, and the per fect unanimity with which they exerted themselves in seconding his arrangements for the public amusement. He concluded his observations by proposing the health of Mr. Darby, who, he said, was the only person en gaged at - the gardens whoever indulged-" in a flare up," .and - on that account was entitled to that mark of respect. He also stated that the gardens would be placed' at his disposal, for his benefit, on Thursday next, and expressed a hope that it might prove some compensation to him for the severe loss he had recently sustained. This sentiment of kindly feeling was received with general approbation, and the evening was spent in convivial harmony, the various artists contributing their several powers in promotion of good fellowship and recreation. The Arabs presented 'Mr.: Wardell with a gold chronometer, as a mark of respect, and in appreciation of the honourable treatment they had re ceived at his hands. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—On Saturday morning last, about half-past six o'clock, as the gamekeeper of Mr. Frogley and his assistant were engaged in :their duty at West Horsley, Surrey, they came up with two men who were poaching on the grounds, and who im- : mediately drew forth long knives similar to those used by butchers, and stabbed the one in the breast and the other in the loins. A description of the two fellows has been printed and placarded, and a reward of 501. offered by Mr. Frogley and another 501. by Mr. H. Currie, M.P., to any person who shall give such information as may lead to theieconviction. One of them is about five feet four inches in height, about thirty years old, pale, with very little whiskers. The other is about five feet five inches or six inches high, dark, with little whiskers, about thirty years of age ; they were dressed like conntrymen. There is every reason to suppose the Miscreants would have murdered the keepers bad they not been afraid of alarming some farm labourers at work at a short distance. No exertions will be spared to bring these attempted murderers to justice. SALE OF THE COPYRIGHT OF THE POSTHUMOUS WORKS OF Da. CEIALIKERS.—The religious public will be equally surprised and gratified to learn that the late Dr. Chalmers has left a large quantity of unpublished manuscripts, among which is a Commentary on the Scriptures, as far as the book of Jeremiah. The com mentary, we understand, differs in its plan from the commentaries of Poole, Henry, Scott, and Clarke, and is written in a manner which is sure to render it popular among all classes of evangelical Christians. Among the manuscripts fully written out, and in a fit state for publi cation, are also the series of lectures which he, as Pro fessor of Divinity in the University of Edinburgh, ad dressed to the students whose theological education was committed to his care. These lectures are un derstood to be singularly original and brilliant. T here have likewi se been found, among the correspon dence which Dr . .

Theyo.thought it better to dissolve the com pany_ and return 1/. ss. Bd. per share to these, who had paid the deposit of 21. 2s. in full. This would 'require the sum of 26,3271., leaving a balance of 1,8991. to meet the outstanding claims against the company, including the demand of Sir William Pilkington. The accounts showed that 43,081/ had been received from the shareholders, and a subscription of 11,200/. from the Midland Company towards expenses. The sum expended amounted to 26,3931., including unsettled claims of 1,334/., leaving a balance at the bankers of 28,0131. The CHAIRMAN remarked that they could probably make up 11. 6s. 6d. per share to return; that the pro ject could not pay as an independent line, and that it was not likely that the Midland would assist them again; having already lost so much by the scheme. After some discussion, resolutions were unani mously passed adopting the report, and authorising the directors to take immediate steps for the dissolu tion of the company and the return of the deposits. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. DUFFRYN, LLYNVI, AND PORTHCAWL At a special meeting of this company, held on Tuesday at Pyle, Mr. M. P. Smith was unanimously elected a director to represent the company at the Llynvi Valley Railway board, in accordance with the terms of amalgamation of the former with the latter company. GLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, AND ARDROSSAN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on 'Thursday at Glasgow, the Earl of Eglinton in the chair. The report stated that last session they ob tained Acts to construct branches to Fenwick and Rowallan, and to the Ayrshire main line near Kel winning, and their Busby branch near Springside ; to substitute an open cutting for a tunnel near Dun lop, and to extend the main line to the proposed station in Portland-street, Kilmarnock ; also empow ering the company to run engines and mineral trains over the Ayrshire line and branches from the junc tion with the main line of the latter at Fergushill and Kilmarnock, to the mineral fields at East Colliery and Loudon. These powers were granted in consi deration of the proposed Colliery, Loudon, and Au chenharvie branches not being conceded. The di rectors congratulate the shareholders on the results of the successful oppos4ion to the branches proposed by the Ayrshire company for the district occupied by the projects included in the Bill of 1846. They state that the revenue of the existing Ardrossan line more than justified their calculations and anticipations of it held out in December last ; that it is expected that the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston line will be opened in December next from Glasgow to Ilirrheadl and the more difficult portion Of,the nab from Barr head to Crofthead, wasconsiderably advanced, so that the continuation of the line to Glasgow would be soon esta blished. The directors have refrained from entering into any contract for the executionnf the hew works on a portion of the vainline, i 4„ consequence of the high price 9f labbur, and as there were every prospect immediately after the extensive railway works in the country were cohipleted, that more advantageous terms could be made with able contractors. The di rectors have limited their operations to the branches from the existing Ardrossan line to Perecton and Springside, and to the Ayrshire line at Fergushill, part of which is already opened. That they have given instructions •to the law agents to proceed to recover the arrears due on calls. That the meeting was also made special for the purpose of considering and determining the question of amalgamation with the Caledonian Company on the following terms : " That the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan Railway Company's capital stock of 700,C00/. be amalgamated with the Caledonian stock and bear a dividend of 6 per cent., provided the net profit of that line yield that return, with an option to that company of availing themselves, in lieu of such guarantee, of the dividend which may be paid by the amalgamated company." This arrangement was stated to be op proved of by the shareholders, at a meeting held in 1845, and ratified by the shareholders of the Caledo nian Company in February last. The CHAIRMAN said, that the principal topics were contained in the report, and he congratulated them on the revenue from the Ardrossan line exceeding their anticipations ; that of course the revenue of the harbour would increase with it, and he had no doubt the latter would prove remunerative ; that in con sequence of the depressed state of the money market and the high rate of wages and the di ffi culty of going on at once, they intended to apply next session for an extension of time for the completion of the works. He did not think they were justified in hesi tating any longer to enforce the payment of calls. He thought that the agreement for amalgamation with the Caledonian would be advantageous to the company; that it would give them increased strength and influence if they were backed by that company; that the Caledonian Company had acted in every re spect in the most honourable manner towards them. He felt himself, in honour and inclination,,bound to recommend that the shareholders should agree to that proposal,. and, in conclusion, moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded. Mr. SMITH regretted that he could not approve of the report in one or two points. He was glad to hear that the revenue had been more lucrative than wee. expected; With regard to enforcing the payment of calls, he could not agree to it. Looking at the state of the money market and to other circumstances, he thought great indulgence should be shown before they proceeded such a length, for he could conceive nothing more injurious to their company than to authorise law agents to bring 20 or 30 proprietors into court and prosecute them for arrears without any pressing necessity for such proceedings. The CHAIRMAN said it would be extremely desira ble not to proceed unless absolutely necessary, but it was now seven or eight months since the last call had been made, and arrears to an enormous amount were still due. They had also contracts _to : put-Chase the Ardrossan Railway, which would require a large •sum of money,.and which they were bound to carry out, and for which that company would pay interest. It was therefore necessary for them to try to raise money in some way or other. After some observations from Mr. GRAHAM with respect to the necessity of going on with a portion of the works, Mr. SMITH moved an amendment to the report, m th e a n t t th o e f p c o a r l t l i s o , nso - ' Caledonian Company, be not app roved. Mr. GRAHAM seconded th m and f i f t o r w • -c)tim f the Chairman, Mr. SMITH, at the suggestion o first in report referring to the hic th . silince, that that part o f the e h r a e m la a te jg d ani t a o tio th n e C a ledonian Company be not ama lgamation with the a pproved. with r t c h e e On the votes being ta ken, there was a considerable majority in favour of the a mendment, whic h was de clared to be carried. The motion with regard to the payment of calls was not put, the directors agreeing to the sugges tion, that unless they felt it to be absolutely neces sary they would not enforce their immediate pay ment. Resolutions were then passed re•electing one of the four retiring directors (the Earl of Eglinton), and electing three new directors in the room of those who retired. After the election of auditors and a vote of thanks ;o the Chairman, the meeting separated. -•-- • - His Royal Highness the Duke of Nassau and suite embarked, on Saturday morning at Black wall-pier, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's mail steam-ship Giraffe, for Rotterdam, en route to WS palace at Bieberi c h. 0 SCROFULA, OR KI NG ' S E VIL , CURABLE r t with this TILE USE 01' HOLLOWAY'S OINTME NT AND P I LLS.— per dreadful disease cannot make use of any remed y P lLLS .—per sons affinicso efficacious, ed soothing, and hdalhig, as these incomparable m e di cines.

I have long been of opinion myself that nothing short of a discontinuance or, work in the cvotton comThe efozaegnal,tecsoualpdppealar spinning factories, until the raw materiA could accu mulate to such an extent as to form a stock equal to the average quantity left on hand, until the result of the crop of 1847 cculd be ascertained, and began to blind to the great difficulty prospectively'. t e t i tefa accomplishingtradec take th: ins aefe viewps position such i s o a ti nt have done, but cannot, any more than myself; be o object. The first great consideration with me has been the suffering which the entire stoppage of the mills would instantly occasion to the unfortunate operatives them selves; suffering aggravated so intensely- by the re cent enormous price of bread. This consideration has doubtless been foremost, likewise, in the minds of the millowners ; and I rejoice to find that the operatives have appreciated their motives, and tender them their thanks for having reduced the period of work, instead of reducing wages merely. I know instances myself where the losses of millowners, this year, have exceeded 5001. per week, by continuing their operations. Ruin would be the result of such operations in a short time, and capital sunk is only the destruction of the means of future employment The employer and the employed have each of late been placed in a position of great suffering and mental anxiety—a position which I can only too painfully understand, having myself, at no very remote period, been taught it by experience. Another great difficulty which presented itself, some months ago, to the adoption of the course now recommended by the operatives, was, that many mill owners had been enabled to secure a stock of cotton at so early a period as to plate them in a position still to secure some advantage from their operations, or, at all events, to prot e ct th emse l ves f rom positive loss. 'They could not be expected to consent to stop their mills, and throw their operatives out of work, to save others from loss, who had not, like themselves, secured a stock of cotton beforehand. Again, contracts had been entered into, and no doubt contracts exist, too, at the moment we are discussing this subject, which must be fulfilled before the millowner could close his mill. Neither can I shut my eyes to the fact, that the cessat'on of the operations of the cottons mills must in stantly affect a large body of labour beyond the mere factory hands. The weaver, the dyer, the printer, the bleacher, &c., must partake, more or less, in the sus pension of labour. The experiment is so bold, that it requires more consideration than I can give it here, without the advantage of personal communication with employers and employed, before I would ventu re to affirm that the remedy would b e less formidable than the disease. I would observe, however, that the millowners have now waited many months in expectation of an im provement, which has failed to manifest itself; that these stocks of cotton, bought at an early period, have now probably very greatly diminished, or, in the case of many, may now be entirely consumed, which places all millowners much more on an equality, and leaves them more nearly in that relative position to wardsteach other, both as regards cotton and ma chinery which they maintain under ordinary circum stances. Providence has blessed us with an abundant har vest; the price of provisions is falling, or certainly ought to fall, rapidly to rates at which man can live in comfort upon honest industry ; reckless speculation in grain has met with its reward. The operative is, therefore, in a position undoubtedly to take his share in the experiment with less intensity of suffering than • when provisions were at a famine price. You wish me, in conjunction with friends whom you have named, to endeavour to obtain the opinion of the millowners upon the course proposed by pits: I observe that the Manchester papers have taken uu the subject, and lam glad they have done so. Is it your opinion that, as an humble individual, no longer connected with cotton spinning, I can, in any man ner, induce the millowners to consider your proposal with greater readiness than at this moment they are inclined to do ? Will not the publicity given to the question through the newspapers effect your object ? I wish it to be discussed, I recommend it to be dis cussed, and I cannot conclude my hasty letter with out expressing to you the satisfaction with which I regard the tone and temper of your resolutions; which, whilst they painfully excite my sympathy for the sufferings of the operative, prove to me that his intelligence is now teaching him to study the real cause of his suffering, and to take a comprehensive view of his position in strict connexion with that of his employer. Perhaps you will write to me, and say whether any steps have been taken in this matter, as your letter, not having been addressed to me here, has been de . - layed several days before coming into my hands.—l remain, sir, yours faithfully, MARK PHILIPS.

ELOPEIIENT.—During Friday and Saturday much interest and conversation was occasioned throughout thr neighbourhood of the rural and hitherto quiet village of Acton, five miles from town on the Uxbridge-road, in consequence of an elopement which took place on the morning of the former day. The young lady in question is one of the eleven children (eight daughters and three sons) of a wealthy gentleman, residing in a spacious mansion, with extensive garden grounds, on the side of the high road at the western end of the village, and who also carries on lucrative business in the neighbourhood of Charingzeross. Miss Georgians -is about twenty years of age, and is a young lady of considerable persoral charms, and engaging figure. It appears that dur'ng the present summer she has, on several occasions, taken a morning ride by the London and High Wycombe coach, which for some years has been driven by the pro prietor, Mr. Hart, -past her father's residence, to a hich no objection was made - by her parents, it appearing to minailpyrothveathsehrehheaaldthi,oarmnded an uptoinFtii-midaacyyloaf a stntoet,a the t : r na slight estture suspicion was entertained by any member of the fa with any individual, either of their acquaintance or other wise. On that nforning she was found, however, to be missing frbm the house, without any person knowing how or when she left, or being able to account for her absence. Inquiries were, in consequence, instituted by her family in the neighbourhood, and it was eventually ascertained that she had been seen about eight o'clock proceeding to the lower end of the village, through which the high road passes, where a fly was drawn up, into which she was handed by a gentlemanly dressed in dividual, who is believed to have been Mr. Hart, and the - vehicle was immediately driven off in the direction dy'ssenio r r. * of town.
