I THE QUEEN'S LANDING AT
ABE RDEEN.
ABERDEEN, FRIDAY EVENING.—At an early hour
this morning the citizens of Aberdeen were all astir.

THE STATE TRIALS.
DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—On Thursday the sum-
monses were served on the grand jurors of the South
Riding- of Tipperary,. ordering their attendance in
Clonmel on the 21st instant, under a penalty of 1001.
each in the event of failure.
The High Sheriff of the county of Dublin and the
Board of Superintendence visited Mr. Smith O'Brien
and Mr. Meagher yesterday, in Kilmainham gaol.
For the first time since their imprisonment leave has
been given to both gentlemen to have free access to
newspapers, and whatever books they may choose to
call for, pending their transmission to the south to
take their trials. Notwithstanding all the reports to
the contrary, Mr. Meagher has not up to this day
had any consultation either with counsel or agent,
nor has he made the slightest preparation for the con-
duct of his defence.
There was a long conference held this afternoon, at
the Viceregallodge, between Lord John Russell, the
Earl of Clarendon, the Lord Chancellor, the Attorney -
General, and the Solicitor-General.
This evening Lord and Lady John Russell will
take leave of their Excellencies the Lord-Lieutenant
and the Countess of Clarendon, and, attended by Mr.
Grey, his Lordship's private secretary, in one of the
Lord-Lieutenant's private carriages, they will proceed
to the railway station at Westland-row, where, at the
appointed time, a special train will be in waiting to
convey the Noble Lord and suite to Kingstown. Her
Majesty's packet-steamer the Banshee will be along-
side the jetty to receive them. The Banshee will
start direct for Greenock, where the Noble Lord will
land, and proceed to join the Queen at Balmoral.
ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The following is extracted from the report for
August, as read by the secretary at the meeting of the
COunell held' en Thrirsday :
" The time having arrived for calling in the different
practical intructors in husbandry appointed under Lord
Clarendon's letter, they have been all paid off and
discharged, and a full statement of all the receipts and
expenditure connected therewith is hereby submitted to
the Council, to be duly audited and examined previous
to publication.
" In order also to ascertain the opinions of the gentry
in the different districts where the instructors were located,
as to the effect produced by their visits, a circular was
addressed to the grand juries, Poor-law boards, and
local farming societies in these districts, calling on them
to state their candid opinions on the subject, and to
furnish the Council with the result. To this application
numerous replies were received; and at a meeting of the
managing committee, held on the 17th of August,
" It was resolved,—That copies of such answers and
resolutions as had been received in reply to the above
circular by the grand jurors, Poor-law boards, and ma-
gistrates in those districts where the instructors had
been located, should be transmitted forthwith to his Ex-
cellency the Earl of Clarendon, with the most respectful
assurance from the committee to his Excellency that they
consider those documents as satisfactorily conveying the
opinions of those gentlemen who, from local knowledge
and personal interest, are most capable of forming a
sound judgment as to the effect of such a plan as that so
humanely devised by his Excellency for the instruction
and improvement of the farming classes in those districts,
and to the effective carrying out of which the Council of
this society and its committees have devoted their best
attention. " CLANCARTY, Chairman."
PURSUIT OF " GENERAL" DOLIENY.

By break of day thousands of pedestrians had arrived
from the country, and planted themselves along the
line chalked out for her Majesty's route on landing
from the royal yacht.
At six o'clock the city bells were set ringing, ban-
ners were displayed from all the public buildings, the
vessels in the dock, and from the top of every hill in
the suburbs whence a view of the town might be ob-
tained. The sun shone forth in brilliant splendour,
the wind from the south-west was just fresh enough
to spread the colours, and everything gave token of a
gala-day. At half-past seven o'clock the amphi-
theatre in front of the royal arch was crowded, the
portign of the quay railed off wasldopely packet", and
every window within sight of the dock was filled by
elegantly-dressed ladies. At a quarter after eight
o'clock the Lord Provost, magistrates, and town-
council, the Earl of Aberdeen, in full uniform as
Lord-Lieutenant of the county, the Sheriff, the Con-
vener of the county, and Deputy-Lieutenant, the
Members of Parliament for the city and county, the
Provost and magistrates of old Aberdeen, the princi-
pals and professors of both Universities, and the
clergy in their Owns, the Parliamentary Commis-
sioners of the harbour, and other official gentlemen,
took their position within a semi-circular enclosure
immediately in front of :the landing-place. The
whole line of Waterloo-quay and Regent-quay from
the royal arch to the bottom of Marischal-street on
the north side, was filled in by about 2,000 boys,
with their teachers from the various schools in the
city. Those little fellows marched in order to their
places, each school carrying a flag with an appro-
priate motto, and in - most cases heralded by a band
of music. Not the least interesting group of
this gathering , were the children connected
with the Industrial Schools, nearly 400 of whom
Were placed at the entrance to Regent-bridge,
dressed in their school clothes, and clean and tidy
in appearance. From the landing-place on Water-
loo-quay, and onwards by Marischal-street to Castle-
street and Union-street, a carriage-way 50 feet
broad had been railed off for the royal cortege, the
granite pavement, being covered over with sand for
the occasion.
At a quarter to nine o'clock the officers on board
the royal yacht took their places on the quarter-deck,
the Earl of Aberdeen being present on this occasion.
At ten minutes to nine o'clock her Majesty and
Prince Albert, with the Prince of \Vales and the
Princess Royal, appeared on deck, and were received
by a royal salute from a battery on the Inches and
spontaneous and long.-continued bursts of applause.
Her Majesty was conducted down the steps of the
landing by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, having the
Princess Royal in her right hand, while Prince
Albert followed with the Prince of Wales in one
hand and Prince Alfred in the other. As her Ma-

The Clonmel Chronicle says—
" During the last week or ten days there have been
some expeditions, within a few miles, of this town, in
search of Doheny. We heard of one in the neighbour-
hood of Ballinamult, where it was supposed he was con-
cealed in a wood. The party in pursuit Started some
man, evidently not a peasant, though dressed as such.
He was immediately hailed and commanded to stand, at
his peril, but succeeded in effecting his escape by a
plunge into a thick part of the plantation, being consi-
derably in advance of his pursuers. If Doheny is not in
Dublin Castle, we think he is in this vicinity still. It is
reported that Doheny held a moonlight meeting, a few
nights ago, on a mountain within four or, five miles of
Carrick-on •Suir. The general belief is, that he is still
in this neighbourhood. Since penning the preceding
about Doheny, we received the subjoined information
from a source on which we can place the fullest reliance,:
—The other day Doheny was very nearly pinned in
Dungarvan. A constable got his eye on him, and in-
stead of arresting him, as he should have done, kept him
in view for some time to make the arrest himself, and thus
obtain the entire reward. Doheny, ever awake, perceived
the bent of the policeman, and left Dungarvan in a trot,
crossing the country by Crotty's Rock, in the direction
of Coolnamuck Wood, in which, it is supposed, he is at
present kennelled. This wood, from its contiguity to
Slievenamon, Ballingarry, Mullinahone, and Carrick,
enables him and one or two others, who are generally
with him, not only to procure provisions, but to muster
as many armed followers as they may require. It is
reported that a few nights ago they had a plan laid to
entrap the police—that upwards of 400 men were armed
and posted at both sides of the wood between this town
and Coolnamuck, and that a scout was sent up by them
to give information to the police that Doheny would be
coming towards Clonmel at a certain hour. However,
the plan proved unsuccessful, as the constabulary here
are too well acquainted with persons and appearances to
give full credence to every whisper that may come to
their knowledge."
DUBLIN, SUNDAY MORNING.—Lord John Russell,
with Lady Russell and their children, reached Kings-
town yesterday evening, at half-past seven, and pro-
ceeded on board the Admiralty steamer Banshee,
where they remained during the night. At daylight
this morning the Banshee left Kingstown harbour for
Glasgow, from whence the Premier is to proceed at
once to join the royal party at Balmoral.

jesty and the Prince passed through the royal arch
and on to the crimsoned platform they were received
by the Lord Provost, and again welcomed by an uni-
versal burst of cheers. The simple attire of the
Queen, the kindly glance of her eye, and winning
smile which animated her countenance as she ad-
vanced, and, with his Royal Highness, acknowledged
the hearty and honest welcome which they had re-
ceived from the denizens of the far north, did more to
establish the house of Brunswick in the hearts of the
Scottish people than all the display of pomp and
grandeur by yvbich royal visits to this city were for-
merly distinguished.
At nine o'clock the royal cortege proceeded along
the quay at a walking pace. On passing Waterloo-
quay-and Regent's-quay the cheering multitude,
waving' their hats and handkerchiefs with the boom-
ing of cannon, formed a picture which cannot be de-
scribed. In the carriage immediately following that
of her Majesty were Sir George Grey, Sir James
Clark, Lord Alfred Paget, and the Hon. Captain
Gordon ; the next carriage contained the Ladies in
Waiting, and was followed by another with the re-
maining members of her Majesty's suite ; then came
the carriage of Lord Aberdeen, containing the Noble
Earl, Lord Haddo, the Hon. Admiral Gordon, M.P.;
and Mr. Grant, Convener of the county of Aberdeen.
Sheriff Davidson, and Captain Fordyce, the Member
for the city, occupied their own carriages alone, and,
with the Lord Provost and magistrates in two car.
riages, led the procession, the carriage of the Lord
Provost immediately preceding that of the Queen.
The rear was brought up.by a number of private car-
riages, containing several military officers, the De-
puty-Lieutenants, and other gentlemen who were in-
vited to a place in the enclosed area at the landing-
place.
Having ascended Marischal-street, a magnificent
view all at :once burst upon, the royal visitors. To
the east, the fine old square, with its ancient and
unique cross in the centre, and the colossal statue of
the Duke of Gordon, carved out of a single block of
blue granite, standing on a massive pedestal, were
objects of peculiar attraction. To the north, a glance
of King-street, with its handsome public buildings,
fine churches, and elegant spires, was well calculated
to excite admiration ; but on turning to the left, by
a gentle, curve expressly made to bring King-street in
view, Union-street was opened, which is believed to
be without a parallel in the kingdom. This great
undertaking was planned in the year 1801 by the
magistrates of the city, the design being to bridge
over the 'valley which separates the high ground of
the old city, and made its entrance from the south in
olden times very unsafe. The street was laid out
an English mile in length, 100 feet in breadth, and
under such conditions as would insure the erec-
tion of dressed granite buildings on both sides,
of not less than four stories high. A bridge of
three arches was first intended to be erected, but
the late Mr. Telford having occasion to pass
through the town at the time, recommended a
h ridgebrie
of one arch. At the desire of the ma g
furnished a plan of a one arched bridge of 130 feet
span, which was adopted, and built with 2,000 tons
of granite, at a cost of 13,0001. The street thus laid
i
out was speedily built upon, and now is all but com-
plete, by two ranges of buildings of the most costly
description. There is a gentle curve in the level, but
the view from end to end is without interruption.
Along this street her Majesty and Prince Albert had
to pass, and, when viewed from the point of Castle-
street where they turned, the scene was most brilliant.
The reflection of the strong light from the mica of
the granite, the clear colour of the stone, and the
uniform surface of the buildings, made the whole
appear as if the city had been hewn and polished
from the rocks on which it is built. The cortege,
after passing out of Union-street, turned to the left,
and went down Holborn-street to the Dee .side road.
Here the magistrates and town council left the pro-
cession, took farewell of her Majesty amid much
cheering, and returned to the city, while the Queen
and Prince Albert proceeded on their route to Bal-
moral, passing through a triumphal arch at Holborn
and cheered by a multitude of people who had met to
welcome her Majesty to the banks of the Dee.
The weather has been delightful.

CELIBACY —Singleness is not always the eon-
lJ sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi-
culty in meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried
would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did
they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered
page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that

that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which
his affianced would he plunged if he married; Some are, however,
wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex tuider
circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to these
the
altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to
his
selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her
from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this
history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common
foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren-
der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The
disqualifications for Marriage have more than ene priniary source ;
the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely,
Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the
Weakening effects of Later Excesses and Nervousness of Tempera-
ment ; the next sources of importa.nce are hereditary and acquired
disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects
of disease—which, when 111-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im-
pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily
too common for the suffere to consider his case beyond remedy, and
he fails too consult even hisr own medical attendant. Such wilt find
all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous

The sheep-pox, we regret to state, is still on the
increase in this county, and it is likely to continue s?,
while the farmers and flock dealers are not alive to their
own interests. Nothing can be pleaded in mitigation of
the gross conduct of a seller, who we are infornied by
Mr. Smith, the active Norwich inspector, exposed be-
tween 50 and 60 lambs for sale on the 15th ult. This
person, after the animals were turned off the hill as in-

iected, actually sent them to Kenninghall fair a few days
subsequently. Mr. George Bailey, of Caston, near Wat-
ton, there became the unfortunate purchaser; the lambs
are now in a very diseased state. Such cases, we under-
stand, are very common, and call for the most unquali-
fied reprehension. The name of the offender in this in-
stance is well known, and should the practice be re-

Wellington, Somerset, in the presence of Mr. Bridge
and Mr. Reynolds, by J. Gay, Esq., F.R.C.S. of Lon-
don, and one of the medical officers of the Provident

under the influence of chloroform. It is a matter of
great interest in connexion with the discovery of the use
of chloroform that it is available for such delicate ope-

to get rid altogether of the dread with which the opera-

WEST-END JOINT TENANT ASSOCIATION.—At the

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which. unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the .sacred consummation of. marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine LaW for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being mast subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness: The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirons of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory Information in the little work entitled

WORCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The following
returns show the amount of the collection during the
festival just concluded, the attendance of company at the
Cathedral and Concert-room, and a comparative state-
ment of the same results for the last four festivals held
here :—Tickets received at the doors (1848), 4,445. The
total attendance at the Cathedral in 1839 was 3,873; in
1842, 4,199; and in 1845, 2,701. The total numbers at-
tending the three days' morning concerts, 2,271. The
total attendance at the evening concerts in 1839 was
1,332; in 1842, 1,579; and in 1845, 1,568; thus showing
an increase of 700 upon the highest number in those
years. Among the most liberal of the donors have been
the Mayor and corporation, 251.; Lady Emily Foley,
501.; Earl Somers, 301.; Mr. J. H. H. Foley, M.P., 251.;
T. Robins, Esq., Stourbridge, 201.; and Mrs. Clewes,
Hanbury Hall, 101. The expenditure is not yet ascer-
tained, but it will be rather heavier than usual', on ac-
count of the superior talent, both in the vocal and in-
strumental department, secured for the occasion.

last meeting, held at 117, Edgeware-roaiten the 7th inst.,
the secretary read the following important letter which
he had received from Lord Dudley Stuart, on the sub-
ject of joint-tenancy :—" Sir,—As to your inquiry re-
specting my opinions with reference to the plan (men-
tioned in your letter) of obtaining Universal Suffrage, by
means of several lodgers joining together to rent. pre •
mises, it is best answered by reference to the Reform
Act, 2d William IV., cap. 45, " which provides that
joint occupiers shall be entitled to vote in respect of pre-
mises jointly occupied, in case the clear yearly value of
such premises shall be of an amount which, when di-
vided by the number of such occupiers shall give a sum of
not lass than ten pounds for each and every such occupier,
but not otherwise. An equally favourable letter from
Sir Benjamin Hall was also read; indeed, joint-tenancy
is fast becoming a question of the day.

DEATH OE A YOUNG LADY BY A 1,
-,- ALL FROM A
CLIFF.—On Thursday afternoon lust a yours; lady
named Stephens, from Bristol, who had been ?edging
at Athol-terrace here, fur some time, met her death by
a fall from the cliff near Cornhill coast-guard station,
about two miles from Dover. We understand Miss
Stephens had left her lodgings in the morning, with the
view
of South Foreland lights,
she proceededghts, situated on
d
to St. Margaret's Bay by the beach. At St. Margaret's
she hired a donkey, with which she proceeded towards
thetop ovfisSitti.ng
Margaret the South
s Dover, on the top of the cliffs. On reaching Cornhill
station she alighted from the donkey, and inquired of
one of the officers on duty whether she night
with safety
descend the cliffs to the beach. The man replied she
might by the zig-zag path, which he pointed out. Near
to this -zig-zag path thero is cut, from the base to the top
of the cliff, 1;
an almost perpendicular , p, used for draw-
ings•- up manure, &c. At the top of this slip, near the
edge of this cliff, Miss Stephens was observed sitting,
and the next that was seen of her she was found by
another coastguard man a. mutilated corpse, on the beach
immediately below. It is possible deceased may have
mistaken the slip for the .zig-zsg, and unwittingly ven-
tured to descend by the former. 'The cliff here is some
200 feet iu height.—Dover Chronicle.

The projector claims for his plan a saving of more
than 50 per cent. upon lines constructed for the tra-
velling of locomotives, and of about forty over the
vacuum system. As in these times any plan by which
the working of railways may be cheapened, and the
cost of their construction materially reduced, cannot
fail to prove most acceptable 'to railway proprietors,
