And thousands have heard of the fame they have won, As elegant tailors, they cannot be match'd, And the greatest importance to them is attach'd. These assertions are such as you cannot deny, And if any one view them with doubt, let them try. Their trowsers, their coats, and their waistcoats excel In cloth, and in make, and in fashion as well. - These garments a certain appearance possess, Which stamps them as elegant samples of dress ; Their character everywhere stands very high, And all parties praise them the instant they try. - Doubt not that the dresses of MOSES arc strong, For they last you, if anything, rather too long, Anto M a so ES cheap is their price, n that you'll save a vast , •The OS and SONS'noted warehouse you come ; goods, and the price of the goods they supply, "ore 111 every sense such as should tempt you to try.

Warehouse accommodation has been prepared for the reception of bonded goods, and a yard for bonding timber of all kinds has been completed; there is also. large provision for merchandise not for bond. The warehouses being immediately contiguous to the Docks, there will be no expense for cartage of goods to them from the vessels. Powerful steamers ply twice every day between Liverpool and Runcorn, and ships with cargoes for or from these Docks are towed by them free of expense. Under proper regulations fires and lights are allowed to vessels while in the Docks. The proximity of Runcorn to the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, the Potteries, and iron districts of Staffordshire, Wolverhampton, Birmingham. &c., and their I , icinities, ant to the.inland towns of the midland and northern counties of England, renders the port especially eligible for all pur poses of traffic in connexion with these places. The coal-fields of Lancashire, the salt-works of Cheshire, together with the usual ex ports of the manufacturing and trading towns, give facilities for ships procuring export cargoes with the least possible delay. Ready and economical communication exists with all these districts, by which means goods are speedily forwarded to their destination. Information wilt be obtained by applying to Mr. William Howarth, Duke's Dock, or Old Qaay Dock, Runcorn ; Mr. James Pendelbury, Duke's Dock, or Old Quay Dock, Liverpool. RLDICOrII, August, 1847. D ISPEN SARY FOR THE CURE OF DISEASES OF THE SKIN, HAMPSTEAD-STREET, FITZROY-SQUARE. PILYSiCIAN—Da. INNIS, 33, Fitzroy-square. This Dispensary is opened for the treatment and cure of those most troublesome and vexatious complaints, Sin Dis.ases. Whether we take into consideration the frequency of the complaints, or the dis figurement caused by them, we are equally surprised at the little attention and study paid to them in England. There are no classes of disease that come under the care of the medical man so dP'ficult of treatment . as those of the skin : the study of them in this country is but in its infancy, for, up to the present time, there has been no opportunity for the surgeon to study them, and it is only from the experience of medical men, exclusively devoted to this branch of medical science, that these distressing complaints can be expected to be relieved. No practical good can arise. either to the profession or to the unfor tunate patients until hospitals and dispensaries are established for the exclusive treatment of these diseases. It is with this view that DR. INNIS, after devoting much attention and study to these diseases, and having proved most successful in his treatment, has complied with the requests of numerous friends and patients, and opened the above institution. The Dispensary is open daily from 10 to 1 o'clock.

PUGILISM. HARRY WALKER AND JOHN HAZELTINE FOR FIFTY Soya. ASIDE.—This contest, in which Henry Walker, brother to the celebrated champion of the light weights, Johnny of that ilk, was opposed to Hazeltine, an East end boxer of some promise, was brought to a decision yesterday, near W o k — , on the line of the South - Western Railway. Tb en were about o f equa l we i g ht and height, Hazeltin e b 1 acing 9st. 71b., and Walker a pound or so under that weight. This was Walker's second appearance in thepriie ring, his first being with Barnash, of Westminster, at Twyford, Berks, about two years since, by whom he was conquered. His opponent Hazeltine opened his p u bli c career by sustaining a defeat from the same pugilist; since that time he has somewhat retrieved his laurels by gaining a victory over the game Williams, near Cireenhithe. The present match was made some two months since, and from that period to the present the odds have been a trifle in favour of the Oriental, who was thought to possess too much know ledge of the " pugilate" for his youthful opponent, and also to be his superior in strength and lasting qualities. The " office" was giv en f or B as i ngstoke up to M o nday night, and those who were_ curious enough to inquire at the sporting houses were i nformed that t hith er , by the nine o'clock train f rom t h e N ine-elms term i nus , th e y must convey their corpo rea l t i es i f they d es i re d to witness the fistic tourney. At the station, however, it was quiekly seen by those who kept a sharp look out, that the com missary, the seconds,_ and_ principals, took -tickets ,no further than Winchfield, some ten miles short of the first-named locality. Even this proved a present of some cash towards the next dividend of the South-Western Company, for on the arrival of the train at Woking, the pilots of the proceedings alighted, and the multitude of ring -goers followed their example. In a driving shower of rain the heath purpled common was crossed, and, after a delay of an hour,, it wa-s s sasuolvaced that the veteran Tom Oliver, assisted by his son and sundry volunteers, had arranged the lists secundem artem, and nought was waited for but the principal performers. At 25 minutes past eleven the combatants appeared, Hazeltine esquired by Young Sambo and Jem Turner, and Walker by his brother Johnny and Barnash Umpires and a referee having been chosen, at twenty minutes to twelve the men stood up. Walker's position was good and artistic, but he looked inferior in muscular proportions and putting together to his well-knit antagonist. The style of encounter which followed was anything but satisfac tory or calculated to raise the opinion formed by the partizans of either combatant. Sparring, feinting, break ing ground, getting away, hitting short, and on the part of Walker, a very questionable style of getting down, characterised even the earlier rounds. Hazeltine strove to force the fighting, but Walker kept away, and whenever followed up fell after a few in effectual exchanges. In the thirteenth round, Hazeltine succeeded in planting a left-banded prop on Walker's left cheek, which staggered him, and he missed the return with both hands; Hazeltine again caught him in the following round, and Walker staggered down, but from his style of concluding the rounds, though this was claimed as a knock-down blow, we are inclined to think Harry was a consenting party to this mode of gaining half a minute breathing time. Although Hazel tine, by his style of going in, gave many opportunities to his opponent of administering the upper cut, he did not appear to be capable of steadying himself to seize the advantage. From this time forth, with the excep tion of the 18th round, in which Hazeltine succeeded in throwing his man a catherine-wheeler,Walker got down or dropped on both knees, in a style that savoured much more of prudence than of courage. His opponent, though irritated by these continual and repeated genu flexions, kept very clear of anything that might approach to a foul blow, throwing his hands several times high in the air, to show his determination to take no irre gular advantage. At the close of 45 minutes, with the exception of a very slight tap under Hazeltine's right eye, and a ruby tinge on Walker's mouth, for which first blood was awarded to Hazeltine n the 22d round, there was no sign of effective hitting on either side. From this period, the three quarters of an hour, Hazeltine evidently gained strength and confidence, while his adversaay fell off ; Hazeltine now repeatedly got him with his left, while Walker's returns were wild and out of distance; the affair would have been doubtless much earlier wound up, but that Hazeltine's hand went so often over Walker's right shoulder as to cause some surprise, especially as his hitting appeared straight and within distance. At the close of every round, to the 42d, Walker was either undermost, or fell on his knees. In the 42d round Hazeltine delivered three hits in succession, jumping back and avoiding the return; Walker followed him, weak and wild, but got punished for his temerity; in the 43d he was-hit through the ropes, tint in the 44th Walker's inferiority was so manifest, tHit upon his going down after receiving twice unresistingly, his brother very properly threw up the sponge in token of defeat, and the battle was over in 44 rounds, occupying 65 minutes. The victor was without a mark, except a slight discolouration of the right optic; and the loser, whom it would have been folly to have allowed to prolong so hopeless a contest, has no scathe that a few hours will not remove. The men and materiel were soon en route on their return to London, the Israelites, by whom Hazeltine was principally backed, bearing with them the spoil of such of the Walkerites as ventured to accept the odds offered by the Eastern sages. HAwEs TESTIMONIAL.—A H aggregate meeting of committees, which have spontaneously sprung up in dif ferent localities in the borough of Lambeth, to adopt some means of testifying the esteem they entertain for the public services of their late representative, Mr. Hawes, took place last evening at the Horns Tavern, Kenning ton. Many of the most respectable and influential inha bitants of Lambeth were present. Lawrence Redhead, Esq., churchwarden, was called to the chair. Mr. Blake read a number of letters from electors approving of the object contemplated. The chairman said that it would have been more satisfactory to have met under other circumstances, Lut they must look upon the accident which bad happened in public life as they would upon a similar event in private life, and not be cast down, but on some future occasion, by increased energy, wipe a wa y the stain on the escutcheon of the borough.—(Cheers.) They all knew his worth, and what had occurred around them, as well as at home, showed that neither his friends nor others were insensible to it.—(l - lear, hear.) He should be glad to hear any suggestions as to the best mode of expressing their esteem for their late member, and appre ciation for his past services. A variety of suggestions and resolutions were offered. Eventually a resolution, moved by Mr. Curling, w as a d opted, appo i nt i ng a gene ral committee to receive subscriptions, with directions to call a public meeting at a future period to consider the best mode of appropriating the amount raised in honour of Mr. Hawes. A numerous committee, including many of the most influential inhabitants of the borough, was nominated, after which thanks were voted to the chair man, and the meeting broke up. PENALTY UNDER THE PEN HOURS ACT.--Yester day Mr. Graham, sub - inspector of factories, came before the magistrates at Manchester to prefer a charge, under 10 Vic., c. 29, against Mr. Robert Fairweather, Kenyon street, of having employed in his factory six females for the week ending on the 24th of July more than 63 hours per week. The amount of penalty to which Mr. Fairweather had rendered himself liable was not less than IL, and not more than 31. in each case. Mr. Fair weather's brother, the manager of the mill, appeared to answer the charge, and admitted the offence, but pleaded it was committed in ignorance of the law. Mr. Graham explained that what Mr. Fairweather meant was, that the machinery in the mill had done running, but that in reality "employment in factories" had been defined by one of the older factories Acts to include . cleaning the machinery. Mr. Fairweather sai▪ d, in answer to a question, that his brother had carried on l business six or seven years. Mr. Maude thought h ecoud not well plead ignorance then. Mr. Maude said i▪ t was well for Mr. Fairweather that ther e were only six per sons in the room; for the lowest penalty being I/. in each case, it would have amounted to a heav y sum if the room bad been full of hands when Mr. Graham entered. Mr. Graham said the room was full, but he had thought it sufficient, as a first offence, to take six cases. Mr. Maude—Then the penalty will be 61.

The state of is still alarming. The physicians are unable to cheek the flow of blood to the head." The half-yearly general meeting of the share holders of this company took place yesterday, at the London Tavern. Charles Pascoe Grenfell, Esq., M.P., took the chair shortly after one o'clock. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, and the usual forms having been gone through, The SECRETARY read the following report of the directors : " Your directors, at the half-yearly meeting in February last, gave a statement of the condition of the various lines then in progress ; they have now the plea sure to announce, that the Epsom line was opened on the 10th of May ' • and the extension from Chichester to Portsmouth throughout, on the 14th of June. It would be premature, from so short an experience, to attempt to judge of the advantages to the general concern which these new lines offer in prospective ; but your directors have every reason to believe, that he development of the traffic, under the two heads of passengers and goods, will fully justify the expectations with which these un dertakings were recommended to the proprietors for their approval. The arrangements for the goods traffic are yet incomplete, and the stations at Portsmouth and Epsom unfinished. • " The engineer reports, that the lines to Lewes and Newhaven are nearly completed. The first, by shorten ing the distanee between London and Lewes and Hast ings by eight miles, and avoiding the Lewes incline altogether, will afford great facilities to the direct inter course with those towns ; while the Newhaven Extension from Lewes will enable this company, by means of the very superior vessels employed by the Brighton and Continental Steam-packet Company, to secure a full share of the Continental traffic. The sea passage will be made in about four hours ; and the railway from London to Paris will be shorter, by seventy miles, than by the route by Bou logne. It were almost unnecessary to call the proprietors' attention to the great benefit their railway property will derive from this rapid communication be tween the two coasts; not less as regards the Paris and general Continental traffic, than in reference to the manufacturing and trading population of the important districts of which Rouen is the capital, as well as to the beautiful scenery of Normandy and the southern pro vinces of France, which hold out every inducement to the tourist. _ _ _ " The line to Horsham will be opened in about a `month; the works on the Hailsham and Eastbourne branches are progressing favourably, and will be finished in the spring of next year. Steyning now occupies your engineer's attention, and the remaining branches will be proceeded with in succession. " It is important to add, before 'eaving this part of the subject, that the second line of rails upon the whole of the coast from Hastings toPortsmouth, is now complete. " The Bill for legalising the agreement between this company and the South-Western Company has re ceived the Royal Assent. Powers have also been ob tained for a division and enlargement of the London bridge Station—a measure of the highest importance, as the increasing traffic renders the present accommodation wholly 'inadequate to the wants of the public. Your directors regret that their application to Parliament for the purchase of the Direct Portsmouth Line has not been successful; the steps necessary to be taken in con sequence will receive their closest attention. From the insufficiency of power, by atmospheric traction, to work the Epsom, in addition to the Croydon traffic, your directors, by the advice of their consulting engineer, and with the sanction of the Rail way Commissioners, have substituted locomotive power. The atmospheric apparatus has been in part disposed of. The third line will greatly add to the facilities for work ing the general traffic. " In submitting the accounts for the half-year ending in June, your directors think it right to state, that the very large expenditure in the locomotive department arises from the high price of fuel, the increase of wages for mechanics and others employed in the workshops, and the greater number of miles travelled by your engines, consequent upon the opening of the lines to Epsom and Portsmouth. It is, however, satisfactory to state, that the gradual increase of working power will soon enable your directors to reduce the expenditure under this head, and to work the extended lines more advantageously. " The maintenance of the whole of the permanent way and works is now under contract to responsible parties ; which will secure economy, as well as efficiency. " A motion will be submitted to the meeting for the conversion into stock of the fifteenth shares, whereon the 5 per cent. preference interest has been abandoned. " The revenue for the past half-year has been affected by the pressure of the times ; but it is not too much to indulge the hope, that an abundant harvest, and restora tion of confidence in the commercial and trading classes, will revive the general traffic, and promote the develop ment of the many miles of railway recently opened, which, in connexion with your main line, cannot fail to ensure improved results. The gross revenue for the six months ending the 30th June, including the reserve of 1,0741. 7s. 9d., was £184,072 14 3 Working and other expenses Leaving a disposable balance of ... £85,232 6 10 Which enables your directors to recommend a dividend of 2 per cent. for the half-year. "Messrs. Wilkinson and Baines have resigned their seats at the board since the lust meeting, but , your directors do not propose to fill up these vacancies. The CHAIRMAN then shortly addressed the meeting. He felt convinced that those who viewed the proposed dividend in a proper light would feel, looking to the pressure that had taken place in the money market, that the directors had done all they could for the pro prietors. He believed that the famine in Ireland, and pressure ._ on ; the money market, was the sole cause why the directors had not been able to keep up the promise with respect to the dividend which was held out at the last meeting. Added to this, they had large amounts to pay upon unfinished lines, which, though not at present, would ultimately, he had no doubt, pay excellent dividends. The worthy Chairman having gone, in considerable de tail into the working statistics of the company, stated that although the engines of the company had travelled upwards of 100,000 miles more than they did last year, the company had lost upwards of 10,0001. by passenger .traffic alone. In some of the under takings of the directors he was sorry to say they had not been supported as he thought they ought by the proprietors.— (Hear, hear.) He alluded espe cially to the steam communication which the directors had adopted between this country and France.—(Cheers.) Notwithstanding they had not received that support, the directors were determined to persevere. Many reports had gone abroad with respect to the management of the concern that were totally untrue, and some of them were now the subject of proceedings in the courts of law. The reports with respect to Mr. Clarke and Mr. Kirtley were based upon untruth, and he had no hesitation in saying that no company had two more efficient servants than those two gentlemen. — (Cheers.) The worthy Chairman concluded by stating his readiness to answer any questions that might be put to him by any of the proprietors. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr.WinsitAw had entered that room certainly with gloomy forebodings, which had been in a great measure removed by the statements of the Chairman. He was sorry that so many accidents had lately occurred on the line, and he was afraid that they had in some measure limited their passenger traffic. He was anxious to know how the two companies, the Brighton and the Direct Portsmouth, stood to each other. After some observations from Mr. FLOOD with respect to the mode of keeping the accounts, which were repeatedly met with cries of " Question," Mr. PARSONS, in answer to the Hon. Proprietor, said, that this company had not issued any stock in payment of mortgages. After some discussion with respect to the accounts of a desultory character, The CHAIRMAN said, the directors were most wil ling and anxious that the proprietors should have every information with respect to the accounts. As to the observations of Mr. Whishaw, he was anxious to say that no accident had happened on the main line of the London and Brighton Company. The only inquest that had taken place arose from an accident to an engine on the Chichester branch, where the engine run off the line and caused the death of the engine -driver; no accident, however, had oc curred to any passenger. As to the question with respect to the connexion of this company with the Portsmouth Direct Line, he hoped the proprietors would excuse him from giving any expla nation.

Mr. John Young was appointed auditor, in the room of Mr. Ricardo • and a vot e o f th an k s having been unanimously adopted to the Chairman and di rectors, the meeting separated. WEST CORNWALL RAILWAY, The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held, at one o'clock this day, at the offices of the com pany, Broad-street-buildings ; Edwin Ley, Esq., of Penzance, in the chair. The report stated that the Bill which was brought before Parliament, for the construction of a branch railway to St. Ives, and for wharfs and quays at Hayle, had not received the sanction of the Legislature. Scarcely half the call due February 22 had been paid up, and they did not think it, therefore, prudent to enter into any contracts for the construction of the line until they had ample funds at their disposal. With refer ence to the pecuniary difficulty, the directors had entered into an agreement to dispose of the unappro priated shares to Mr. Mowatt, subject, however, to the consent of the shareholders. The number of un appropriated shares was 5,000, and Mr. Mowatt agreed to take them up at a discount of 51. per share, such discount to be payable when 151. per share shall have been paid up, either in cash or by debentures of the company having three years to run. Mr. Mowatt agreed to pay forthwith the deposit and call, being 41. per share on the 5,000 shares. The directors_ had not been enabled to close an account of the liabilities of the company up to the period of the Act receiving the Royal Assent, in consequence of the solicitor's accounts requiring their opinion and revision. The report concluded by stating the resignation of Mr. R. F. Gower as a director of the company, and the election in his place of Mr. Francis Mowatt. The receipts to 30th June were 48,0971. 10s., and the balance in hand 6,1961. 9s. 4d. _ _ The report was adopted, and ordered to be circu lated among the shareholders. A resolution, to the effect that the agreement entered into with Mr. Mowatt should be confirmed, was pro posed by the Chairman, and seconded by Mr. Barlow, and, after a short discussion, unanimously passed. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman and directors, the meeting separated. READING, GUILDFORD, AND REIGATE. The second half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at one o'clock, at the offices of the company, 2, Royal Exchange-buildings ; D. Salo ons, Esq., in the chair. "The advertisement convening the meeting having beenad, and the seal of the company affixed to the register `of proprietors, The SECRETARY proceeded to read the report, which stated that the directors were gratified to state that the agreement between this company and the South-Eastern Company, for the lease of the line upon the terms sanctioned by the shareholders, re ceived the seals of both the companies on the 11th of May, from which date a dividend of 51- per cent. in perpetuity had been guaranteed by the South- Eastern. The contracts for the execution of the works between Reading and Farnborough, and Rei • gate and Dorking, had been let, and the works on these portions of the line are now proceeding. The Bill introduced into Parliament authorising a deviation of the line at Ash, and the immediate construction of it ; and a Bill authorising a deviation between Goomhal and Dorking was car ried through both Houses of Parliament, and had re ceived the Royal Assent. 4 Steps would be taken to ensure the construction and completion of the line within the shortest practicable time. The di rectors congratulated the proprietors and them selves on the great punctuality with which the calls had been paid. .- 51. per cent. interest would be charged upoio4ll calls in arrear. A call of 2/. 10s. was due on the sth inst., and was nowin the course of paymerft. The receipts were 157166/. 17s. Qd., and the expenditure 39,1211. 17s. d., leaving a balaim of 118,,641/. Vs. 7d. The CHAIRMAN congratulated theihareholders on the satisfactory t onditioi of 'the undertaking. At 'former meetings differentWpinions existed with respect to the delay caused in carrying out the agreement with the South-Eastern. These differences had now no existence, as the arrangements had been com pleted, and they were now on perfect terms of amity with that company, and the delay complained of solely arose from an anxious desire, on the part of both companies, to leave nothing open which might hereafter cause any dispute.—(Cheers.) Every diffi culty had been overcome, and a community of feeling existed between them. The South-Eastern, the chairman of which (Mr. Maggregor) was present, might congratulate itself on the advantageous nature of the contract into which they had entered, because he believed it would yield them an ample return. By this line the narrow gauge would be car ried into the Great Western at Reading, and in the course of a year and a half they would be in a con dition to carry the traffic not merely of the midland counties, but of the western counties, from the Great Western at Reading to London-bridge, and with advantage to the public and profit to the lessees of the line. They had gone to Parliament for the purpose of obtaining powers to disengage themselves irom the contract into which they had entered with the Portsmouth Company, as well as for the purpose of obtaining power to deviate their line in several places. He should not have alluded to this if they had not been charged with want of faith ; but the charge had been investigated by both branches of the Legislature, and they stood acquitted ; and it was unlikely that the House of Lords, which was one of the greatest guardians of honour, and examined wit nesses on oath before them, would have come to such a verdict if there had been any ground for such a charge. The contract to which he alluded was this :—This company entered into an agreement with the Direct Portsmouth, that when they got a Bill to connect the lines that they (the Reading and Reigate) should run a certain distance on the line—namely, five miles, on condition that they paid them toll for seven miles. The Direct Portsmouth directors, entertaining the opinion that the Brighton and Dover lines had en tered into a compact for the purpose of strangling their company, imposed a condition on the Reading and Reigate, to the effect that they should not purchase any land for eighteen months, they agreeing to complete their line in three years. Of course they had nothing to object to, provided they constructed their line to Portsmouth. They gave the usual notice, and the charge was at once made against them. Still they refused to retrograde, and they offered to make their line, and to pay them for the use of the five miles at the rate of seven, whenever they should make their line. They refused those terms, and an expensive contest had been the result, in the course of which they were acquitted of the charge of breach of faith by both Houses of Parlia ment. In opposition to the construction of another line to Portsmouth, he might cite the speech of the chairman of the South-Eastern on Satarday last, in which he pointed out the folly of a third line to Portsmouth being made. He was happy to say that they had a continuous line from Dorking to Reading, but if the Direct Portsmouth should be made, they were under an agreement to give it up to them. "the did not, however, think that the Direct Portsmouth would would be constructed. They had felt bound for the protection of the interests of th n e t. b s Con holders, to enter into this ene Con tracts had been entered into for t a h s o g n s e e o mdpeiasrptusto: and line with respect to which thelythwe year 1849 their he trusted that by the end o f line, which could not fail o t o o nu b e s xi considered oo wth t o h n e e s o o f u t t h h e , greatest cross lines in —(Cheers Such was the good would be cornpleted.--(Ch and the directors were repute in which the company held, that 75,0001. of the 10 0 , 000/ . du e on calls on th e sth had been paid.--(Cheers.) He assured th e s hareholders th at the d irectors would leave nothi ng undone to pr omote the i nterests of the shareholders, and concluded by proposing the adoption of the report; Mr. MAGGREGOR (the Chairman of the South- Eastern Company) seconded the motion. Re assured them that legal and other matters had prevented the earlier completion of the agreement, by which they were to receive, in perpetuity, fr om the ' South- Eastern 51 per cent. They were to receive 4 - 1- cent. during the progress o f th e works, subsequently, cr 41, and ultimately, and in perpetuity, 5 1 , per cent. —an arrangement so important, and altogether so (M -oult, that time wa s necessar i ly required to consum mate it; but the banns had been published and the marriage solemnized at last—(Laughter)—and, as in actual married life, the greatest good feeling sub sisted between them. —(Laughter.) No doubt the fact of an alliance with a company which had capital paid up to the amount of 6,000,0001. had contributed in some degree to the alacrity with which the calls had been paid. He looked forward confidently to the time when the South-Eastern would be enabled to pay the 51 per cent. with profit to the s hareholders, besides givi ng th e public the advantage of complete railway communication by means of the se u th- Eastern, which was the great line to the coast with the south. 600,000/. would have to be foun d by this company and the rest by the South-Eastern. , In reply to several questions, POET'S FAME which this Country boasts. M.R. ROBINS feels highly flattered at having been selected by the representatives of the late Mr- Thomas Court to SUBMIT to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 16th of September, at twelve, The truly limit-stirring relic of a most glorious period; and of ENGLAND'S IMMORTAL BARD, . . which, by the course of events, arid directions contained in the will of the late owner, is compelled to be offered to public sale ; yet with every fervent hope that its appreciation by the British public will secure for it a safeguard and continuance at the Birth and Burial-place of the Poet, THE MOST HONOURED MONUMENT OF THE GREATEST GENIUS THAT EVER LIVED. Shakspere's House, at Stratford-on-Avon, has long been a shrine to which Pilgrims of all nations, ranks, and conditions, from the Prince to the Peasant, have resorted to do homage to the mighty dead ; the interesting record of which is traced by the countless autographs covering the walls of the room in which the Bard first saw the light, presenting a simple but striking instance of the spon taneous and universal devotion of mankind to the great Poet of Nature. To attempt to panegyrize this interesting and singular property would be vain indeed, for to quote the Poet's beautiflil lines— " To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper light To seek the beauteous eye of Heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess." Mr. Robins, therefore, simply invites all who take an interest in this monumental relic (and who is there amongst us does not) to pay a visit to Stratford-on-Avon, in the full assurance that what he will see.and feel, now that this remarkable property may be pox• sessed, will.raise a spirit of competition hitherto unknown. On passing through the town, the visitor is struck by the quaint inscription, THE IMMORTAL SHARSPEARE WAS BORN IN THIS HOUSE ; and its singular appearance, and still more curious condition, at once stamp the truth of the proud yet simple title It assumes. It is trusted the feeling of the country will be so evinced, that the structure may be secured, hallowed, and cherished as a national monument, almost as IMPERISHABLE AS THE POET'S FAME; and though it may appear to approach desecration to think of the lucre of gain whilst contemplating the property, yet there can be no question ware this inestimable relic to be purchased simply for the profit it may yield, PAST AND FUTURE EXPERIENCE WOULD PROVE A MOST NOBLE RESULT. And however Mr. Robins may lament the necessity for the sale of this time-hallowed relic, he cannot but feel gratified that he is ap pointed the humble instrument by which it may be secured to the country, as it should be ITS PRIDE AND HONOUR. _ . .

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—This morning the Lords Marinearin of the Admiralty proceeded, at half-past nine, to South sea Castle, to inspect the progress made by the Coast guardmen, under the tuition of Commander Jerning ham, in their organization as a defensive coast brigade. Their Lordships w er e attended by Capt. H. Stewart, the Contr o ll er -G enera l o f th e C oas t- g uard ; Captain Chads, of th e E xce ll en t ; C omman d er 0. O a kes, In spectinge of Battery, Commander taht teesre y,twelve where h e r eo ninety-two n the ewt y were district; om me ne -n fw-wes Lieutenant Pritch ar d, o f t h e Chameleon cutter ; and other dis tinguished officers. The i ns p ec ti on t oo k pl a ce in the within the la s t five only years. About th i rty on ly of the whole have serve d i n men-of--war some fifteen years ago. The remainder, were cruisers' men and Coast guard men who h a d entered that service from cruisers. They were drilled very smartly by Commander Jerningham. Th ere were no picked men fo duties, but they were c h anged both in exerciseam o u and re firing at a mark or a b u tt 50 0 yards ' distance from assem bled men ; them. The first gun for this organization was mounted at Bembridge, Isle of Wight, on the 23d of July, the second at Southsea, on the 30th, an d th e third at Langston, on the 3d of August. At these guns all the present force have been drilled. One of the guns this morning had a rammer-head jambed on the firing side, and although the men had never been trained at transporting, another gun was rapidly shifted into the place of the disabled one. The whole of the drill and shot practice of these men was admirable, and proved the great advantage derivable from Captain Jerningham's plan of training. Their Lordships were highly pleased with the result of their visit, and before leaving the battery the Earl of Auck land publicly addressed the whole body, and said he was highly gratified, and the Lords of the Admiralty were very well satisfied with what they had seen of the rapid proficiency attained by the brigade. Their Lordships then proceeded to the head-quar ter barracks of this division of Royal Marines in Penny-street, Portsmouth, where the corps was drawn up, and received them with the royal salute, colours lowered, &c. Colonel Aslett, Commandant (it the Division, then conducted the Board through the ranks, and afterwards through the school-rooms to the Ma rine establishment : after which their Lordships ad journed to the library of the officers' mess, where all the officers on duty were presented to the Earl of Auckland by Colonel Aslett. Colonel Irvine, Director- General of Engineering and Architectural Works to the Board, and Captain James, Royal Engineers, attended upon their Lordships. At this inspection these head-quarter barracks were finally condemned as totally inadequate for the wholesome or comfortable accommodation of this important body, and that which we hinted at as probable some months since has now come to pass—the head-quarters of the Portsmouth (or 2d division) of Royal Marines are to be removed to Gos port, the Admiralty having decided on immediately erecting a suitable barrack on the site inspected on Friday, opposite the grand entrance to the Clarence yard, within the lines, with which decision goes the benefit of 50,0001. per annum out of the pockets of the inhabitants of Portsmouth. From the head-quarter barracks their Lordships proceeded to the Marine Artillery barracks, where Colonel Commandant D. A. Gibsone received them, and conducted them through the ranks of that effi cient arm of the naval service ; after which the offi cers on duty were presented by Colonel Gibsone to the First Lord, who then took a review of the whole internal economy of the establishment, concluding with the infirmary, over which their Lordships were conducted by Dr. Irvine, M.D., Staff Surgeon of this division. Their Lordships proceeded from the Marine Artil lery barracks to the dockyard, where the First Lord left his colleagues, and with his private secretary, Captain Henry Eden, embarked in the Admiral's barge at the King's-stairs at a quarter to twelve o'clock, and was put on board the Black Eagle steam yacht, which was at that moment coming out of har bour with the Lords of the Privy Council on board for Osborne :House, where her Majesty held a Privy Council at one o'clock, r.m. Their Lordships arrived at the Clarence-yard, per special train of the South- Western Railway, at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock. Whilst the First Lord was absent at the Privy Council, the other members of the board remained in the dockyard and transacted official business. Cap tain Berkeley and the Hon. Mr. Cowper embarked at the King's-stairs at twelve o'clock, and visited several objects afloat. This evening their Lordships were entertained at dinner by Colonel Aslett and the officers of the Royal Marines. The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the Baron de Brunnow, the Russian Ambassad or , and Count de Ber g , a l so partook of th e hospitality of this gallant corps. His Imperial Higness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, accompanied by the Baron Brunnow, Count de Berg, and a distinguished suite, arrived at the Clarence-yard at a quarter to eleven, by the first train from London, on his way to Spithead, to join the frigate Pallas, 52, flag of Vice. Admiral Liitke, in which his Highness takes his departure for Cronstadt. Sir C. Ogle and the chief naval officers of the port received the Prince on his arrival, and accompanied him in the Garland steam-packet to Spithead, under salutes from the Victory and Excellent, in harbour, and the Odin and the Amphion, at Spithead. After putting the Grand Duke on board his ship the Com mander-in-Chief returned in the Garland, accompanied by the Baron Brunnow and Count de Berg, to the Admiralty-house, where the distinguished guests changed their private dress for official costume, and afterwards went out again in the Garland with the gallant Sir C. Ogle to the Pallas, to await the arrival of her Majesty and Prince Albert, to inspect the Russian squadron. At ten minutes to four o'clock the royal standard was made out flying on board the Fairy, coming fast up to Spithead from Osborne, although nearly a gale of wind was blowing and the weather was wretchedly foul, and immediately all the ships, comprising the Russian frigate, corvette, and steamer, and the Odin, Amphion, Apollo, and Dragon (British), manned yards, the latter also dressing ship. A thundering salute was also fired from all except the Apollo and Dragon. The Fairy then steered round the Russian frigate and Odin steamer, and, after cruising about the Russian squadron for one hour, left on her return to Osborne under salutes and manned yards as before. Her Majesty intended to have gone on board the frigate, but the extreme foulness of the weather pre vented her Majesty fulfilling that intention. The Black Eagle steam-yacht returned to harbour with some of the Lords of the Privy Council at five t o'clock this afternoon. Their Lordships landed the Clarence-yard, and left per 5.30 F.M. train fora town. for Captain Lieutenant Compton, of the Victo ry, The Cambrian, 36, was commissioned yesterday by commodore and Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., E Last India and China Plumridge, who is appointed to as su cceed Commodore second in command on t he Quebec, is ap to .., with the 52d Re station.pointed tCommanderhe Cambrian.
