sTERILITY.—Whatever is unproductive is with-
out intrinsic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that
for'ch " yields no,fruit," and we find large tracts of laud abandoned
Vie same reason that caused the barren fig tree to he cursed.
Thisrau curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth
tainine:- But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into the
o` those of the humas race who remain childless in a community
rwhich must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only
d 0 such encounter the -silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures,
I", their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation
? the wifeless bosom—brings no return for the childless home.
is a remarkable fact that the unproduciiveness of soil and
tlecies —arises - from similarity of cause. Some lands are
Produce of vitiated strata that yields an OffSprillf as
~ninealthy as itself. Others nurture In their juices the poison of
which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value
I'Y being too early worked, before they are tit for cultivation, Some
originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others
;re ,Polleil by 'unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the
f„ant of perseverance and nerve in the husbandman. Mark the ana-
f,
-0. : Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom lie
aPrings. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine-
zuCh as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early,
Rod `)Yerta-sks it too late. Man, hr unwholesome contact can also in-
fest his f-ame ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can
render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance
of orga lzation.amidiffidencein his powers. Nor does the analogy
Cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have ,)een
recently so entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul-
ture, that fartners.are now enabled to produce crops almost from
stone itself; and. In like manner, Sterility in the human race is now
renkovablo through the profonnd discoveiles.in physic which enlighten
the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been
produced which tills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove
Sterility altogether. It is from the peri of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS

DAKIN'S ROYAL PATENT COFFEE.
Oc introducing this extraordinary and highly Important in-
vention, it will be necessary, in the first instance, to point out the
evils and imperfections arising from all other principles of roasting
a.,d preparing Coffee at present in use.
Coffee. is almost universally roasted in an iron cylinder, which is
turned by hand or steam power over a coke fire. The Coffee is let
in and out of the cylinder by means of a slide, which is the whole
length of the cylinder, and which it is next to impossible to render
perfectly air-tight ; the consequence of this defect is, that the sul-
plftir,us and noxious fumes of the coke penetrate into the cylinder
and mingle with the Coffee. We will suppose, however, the cylinder
containing the Coffee to be placed over the fire, which is then co-
vered in, cylinder and all, and the process of roasting to be,commenc-
ing. The first evidence of this fact is the vegetable vapour which is
given off by the Coffee, and which vapour is more or less impregnated
with genic and mallic acids, which acids, acting upon the Iron, form
gallates and inalates with that metal. The heat continues, the va-
pour is condensed, and forms a most noxious fluid, which is mingling
with the Coffee, and by the increasing heat is again vap..rised, and
is assisted in its destroying work by one of the most powerful acids
known, namely, by the pyroligneous acid, which Is now beginning to
be given off by the Coffee most freely. This vicious acid continues
firming with the iron the acetate thereof, and imparting the same to
the Coffee, which receives, in addiCon, a sulphurous flavour from the
coke. It =honld he observed, that so astonishingly great is the quan-
tity of pyroigneous acid formed, that many ounces may be collected
from the roasting a single hundred weight of the berry. The action
of the pyrAlgneous acid upon either iron or copper cylinders is well
known; with the former a compound is formed which, if not de-
cidedly injurious to health, gives to the berry a most acrid and dis-
agreeable flavour; whilst, with the latter, the result is verdigris.
Again, by the usual roasting process, which is notliine more nor
less than a species of destructive distillation, what possible chance
has the aroma of this valuable berry of being properly developed?
Supposing for one moment that it were properly developed, it is we:l
known to be exceedingly volatile, and would quickly escape through
the crevices in the slide of the cylinder ; whilst the vegetable vapour,
being exceedingly sluggish, and containing the vicious and noxious
acids, would remain behind, giving to the Coffee that cankerous,
acrid, and metallic taste, that renders the infusions of this otherwise
most valuable and wholesome berry a beverage avoided by the deli-
cate, and highly injurious to the health of many who consume it.
For guarding against all these evils, and for doing away with all
those long-complained-of imperfections, her Most Gracious Majesty
has been pleased to grant to Dakin and Company her Royal Letters
Patent.
i lie plan en which "Dakin's Royal Patent Coffee" is roasted and
prepared is as follows :—The iron cylinder is altogether done away
with, and the Coffee is -never, under any circumstance, allowed to
come in•contact with Iron. A SILVER cylinder is substituted, and•

the heat is obtained by means of the atmospheric air passed over hot
plates, by which plan, as neither the fire, nor the fumes thereof, are
in any way a:lowed to be in contact with the cylinder, the evils
arising from the sulphurous vapours of the coke mixing with the
Coffee are entirely avoided The sILV ER cylinder is so constructed
that, though apertures made for the purpose, the vegetable vapour
walch contains the vicious acids from the Coffee, is allowed to es-
cape, whilst the apertures, being closeable at pleasure,, are imme-
diately closed as soon as this. the first part of the process of roasting,
is accompl'shed. The SILVER cylinder then becomes air tight, and
the aroma, which otherwise would escape, is condensed on the berry,
which thereby contains all its valued and inherent excellence. The
Coffee, after being sufficiently roasted in a SILVER cylinder, and
after being cooled down in a SILVER cooler, is ready for purchasers
who buy- their Coffee whole : whilst the Coffee that Is supplied
ground, is pulverised between powerful stones, and for better
preservation from the atmosphere, is recommended to purchasers
packed in glass bottle, containing two pounds each, which are
corked down air-tight, and sealed with the Royal Arms.
DAKIN and CO. will have great pleasure in showing many testi-
monials which the) have received from the most eminent physicians,
surgeons, and gentlemen of the faculty, as to the beneficial effects
and advantages of " Dakin's Royal Patent Coffee." The following
certificate of Mr. Alfred S. Taylor and Mr. Arthur Aikin, the great
authorities on chemistry, medical jurisprudence, ;and the sanitary
question, will, however, no doubt be deemed conclusive:—
" We hereby certify that we have chemically examined four
" varieties of coffee—namely, best Mocha, Jamaica, Very Fine and
" Good Plantation (Ceylon) Coffee, both in the raw state and as
" prepared and roasted by the patent process of Messrs. Dakin. We
" have likewise chemically examined samples of the same varieties
" of Coffee roasted at the same time in the usual way, and the result
" of this examination is that in delicacy of flavour, odour, and as an

articl. of diet, the Coffee prepared by Messrs. llakin's process is, in
our judgment, superior to that prepared in the ordinary way.
" We Lave also examined the apparatus used by Messrs. Dakin
for roasting Coffee, and we find that all the surfaces with which
the Coffee comes in contact during this process are of silver. 'We
find aiso that great care is taken so to regulate the degree of heat
and the mode of its application as to render necessary a longer
time and lower temperature to effect the roasting, whereby all
risk of charring the berry or of producing empyreumatic oil is
prevented, the separation of acid vapour is more gradual and com-
plete, and a larger portion of aroma is retained than occurs in the
usual methods of coffee roasting.
" The process of Messrs. Dakin appears to us, therefore, in a
chemical view, better adapted than any yet suggested for procuring
roasted Coffee in a pure and wholesome form.

of caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret un-

and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestle happiness

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 Irons
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 ninon does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this g.hien tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in tho heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all times upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and rifler 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 dres not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divinae Law • tor the fulfilment of Important
end:. The wretched condition of such a bring nest subsequently be

NEWBURY, SEPT. 14.—The supply of Wheat to day
is moderate, about half being of the growth of 1847; the

vance of is to 2s per quarter, whilst other descriptions
met a more ready sale at fully the rates of last week.
Barley: we had a, little offering of the new crop, the
quality of which was middling; rates demanded 36s to
38s per quarter without leading to any sales. Beans,
Oats, and Peas, short supply, but sufficient for the de-
mand, and we hare no alteration to note in value.

DEVIZES, SEPT. 14.—We have had a very short sup-
ply of Wheat for the time of year, but a good attendance
of dealers, and every thing in fair condition was sold at
an advance of from 2s to 3s a quarter on both old and
new; the only lots left unsold being some.vcry soft and
out of condition new Wheats. Barley was in fair supply
and the growers were asking very full prices; the best
old brought up to 45s a quarter, and the best new from
35s to 40s, a good .clearance being made; grinding qua.
fides not so much in demand. In Oats, Beans, and Peas
but litile doing. Wheat, white, 60s to 645; ditto, best red,
57s to 625; ditto, middling ditto, 53s to 565; ditto in-

quarter; Flour, fine, 46s to 50s; Seconds, 42s to 45s
per sack.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 15.—At this day's market there was
a good attendance of town and country dealers, with a
fair show of Wheat, but small of all other articles. The
demand for free Wheat was very moderate, at a decline
generally of Id to 2d per 701bs; for bonded, however, there
was a good inquiry, and few parcels on' the spot or afloat
being offered, prices were fully supported. There are
scarcely any" oAts or old Oatmeal here, and, conse-
quently very full prices were realized. New Irish Oat-
meal brought 32s to 325. 6d per load. Barley, Beans,
and Peas met a slow sale, without any material change
in value. Indian Corn was in fair request, yet prices
gave way Is to 2s per quarter; and Corn Meal met
little attention at 17s barrel. The transactions in Flour
were unusually limited. English was rather easier to
purchase.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO
SCOTLAND.

BALMORAL, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13.
Her Majesty and the Prince walked this morning
in the grounds of Balmoral, after which his Royal
Highness went out deer-stalking.
The Prince of Wales, accompanied by his royal
sisters, and attended by Miss Halyard, also went out
walking.
BALMORAL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
For the first time, since the arrival of the Court
here, her Majesty had yesterday an opportunity to
enjoy the delightful scenery of her beautiful and
romantic Highland retreat. The day was a bril-
liant autumnal one, although a sharp breeze prevailed
during the morning; but about noon the wind gra-
dually lulled, when the air became mild and serene.
Soon after eleven o'clock the Queen, accompanied by
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and attended by
Viscountess Canning, the Right Hon. Sir George
Grey, and Sir James Clark, rode out on horseback.
On passing over Cratline-bridge, Prince Albert and
Sir George Grey left the royal party, and rode over
the hills, to have a few hours' sport on the grounds
of Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., who holds a lease of
the shootings of Gairn-e-Shiel. Sir B. Hall's shoot
ing lodge is situate on the banks of the Gairn, a con-
siderable stream, that takes its rise near the
source of the Don, on the south side of Ben Avon,
and falls into the Dee about three miles above
Ballater, and the neighbouring moors are well
streaked with game. The scenery on its banks is
bleak and mountainous, with little wood for shelter,
beauty, and variety.
Her Majesty and Viscountess Canning and party,
continued their ride towards Invergeldie, and re-
turned to the Castle shortly before two o'clock to
luncheon.

In the afternoon the Queen, accompanied by the
Countess of Gainsborough, Viscountess Canning,
and Lord Alfred Paget, again rode out a considerable
distance along the south side of the Dee, and about
four o'clock the Prince of Wales, the Princess
Royal, and Prince Alfred, and attendants, enjoyed
a ride of four miles up the river side. The fineness
of the weather apparently induced her Majesty and
the whole of the inmates of the royal residence to
avail themselves of the opportunity that offered of
seeing the varied scenery by which the Castle is
environed.

The route selected by the Queen was one of the
most agreeable, the scenery being the most magnifi-
cent for miles around. After passing Craignordie, at
the base of which is Craig-na-gugheen, from which,
in days of yore, the Farquharsons of Invercauld
derived their slogan (war-cry), a splendid vista of
mountain and forest, open to the eye through the narrow
pass. between the hills of Craig-spannie and Craig-
sperm, the latter meaning the hill of the nose, from.
its resemblance to that feature, on the one hand, and
on the other the fine valley contained between Craig-
spenie and Balloch Bowie. Her Majesty expressed
ber delight in viewing the attractions presented, and,
occasionally, the royal party were brought to a stand
to enjoy the scene around them.
After the return of his Royal Highness Prince
Albert and Sir George Grey from Sir Benjamin
Hall's, they joined the Queen and royal party.
Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and the
several members of the royal household, being desir-
ous to inspect the process of the distillation of the
national beverage, honoured the Loch-na-gar Distil-
lery with a visit. Mr. Begg, one of the proprietors,
met the royal visitors on their approach, and con-
ducted them through the works. It fortunately
happened the distillery was in full operation, for it
was actually the last day on which it could be worked
until the new crop is ready. Prince Albert minutely
examined all the operations, and asked many ques-
tions, although he was fully acquainted with the
general principles on which the process was con-
ducted. Mr. Begg explained each department, from
the drying and mashing of the malt till the liquor
became the real " mountain dew." The Prince
tasted some of the liquor, and her Majesty also con-
descendingly put the vessel to her lips. The Prince
Consort thanked the worthy proprietor for his
courtesy. All those employed on the establishment
celebrated the honour conferred on the distillery by
the royal visit in the evening.
The Earl of Aberdeen has arrived from Haddo
House on a visit to her Majesty, and has been out
_ !Lt. t •
bagged nine brace of grouse.
The Braemar gathering, appointed for to-morrow,
was postponed for a fortnight, in expectation of the
auspicious presence of the Queen and Court to their
party. It is quite dependant on the weather if the
Queen goes or not, but his Royal Highness Prince
Albert is to be present. Great preparations are being
made for rendering it worthy the presence of the
august visitors. The Duke of Leeds and the Hon.
Sir Alexander Duff have distinguished guests visiting
at their respective residences expressly to be specta-
tors of the exciting exhibition, and the Duke of
Atholl, it is said, is to bring over from Blair Atholla
band of his Highlanders, and other chiefs with their
clansmen are to attend.

The North British Daily Mail of yesterday sup-
plies the following interesting details :
"It was generally known that the Queen and Prince
Albert would be present at worship at Crathie parish-
church on Sunday, but the circumstance did not cause
any of that-excitement which was supposed to have been
highly and justly offensive to her Majesty at Blair Athol.
The church is a small building, and was quite full, but
not over-crowded. The congregation appeared to con-
sist entirely of the parishioners, who may have attended
is larger numbers than is usually the case, but none of
the people from neighbouring parishes seemed to be pre-
sent. The visitors at 13allater, eight miles lower on the
river, were not there; and the attendance was not equal
to the numbers who would be present on a communion
Sabbath. Crathie pariah church stands on a slope of a
range of mountains that are separated there by the
valley of the Dee. Balmoral Castle occupies a similar
and slightly elevated position on the opposite bank. The
valley at that point is much contracted; but the popula-
tion is considerable, and the houses have a comfortable
appearance generally. The communication between
the north and south banks of the river is
dmain-
tained by a chain bridge, of a fragile appearance, and
doubtful character. Before the arrival of her Majesty,
it had been exposed to a strain of two tons, and was
found to yield little; but the trustees have taken the
precaution of intimating, on large boards on each pier,
that not more than one loaded cart should pas 3 the
bridge at once. The precaution aears to be highly
necessary, for even under the tread of three or four
passengers, the bridge yields more than consists with a
feeling of comfort in bridge-crossing. The river at the
spot is broad and rapid, and the channel rocky, while
from the nature of the banks on each side, the platform
of the bridge has a high elevation. The view westward
is confined by the ranges of mountains that seem to close
in the world in that direction, as the river bends round
the base of the hill on which Balmoral Castle is built.
The view eastward from the bridge is singularly beauti-
ful, and has a combination of scenery not often sur-
patsed, even in the Ilighlands. The church was
specially whitewashed and cleaned, the pulpit neatly
covered with cloth, the front seats of the gallery
decorated and painted, and the pew set apart
for her Majesty and the Prince covered with crimson
cloth, and a small canopy of crimson fringe
was suspended from the roof. The improvements
were very neatly done, and not out of keeping with
the unpretending character of a 'highland church,
which is seldom or ever attended by a proprietor.
The only proprietors in the pariah are the Earl of Fife,
who is under trustees; Colonel Gordon, of Abergeldie,
wh is in the same position; and Mr. Farquharson, of
Invercauld. The Rev. Mr. Anderson, who is minister
of the parish, conducted the services in the form usual in
the Church of Scotland. lie read part of the last ad-
dress of Moses to the Israelites, and made some remarks
elicited by the passage on the nature and character of
national sins. His text was the 36th verse in the Bth
chapter of John's Gospel. The rev. gentleman is not a
pleasing speaker. His voice is harsh, and admits, appa-
rently, of no modulation. He would not have been ac-
counted some time since a favourable representative of
the parochial ministry of Scotland; but the composition
of his discourse was better than the delivery. It was
remarkable for brevity, and occupied exactly twenty-
five minutes. It was singularly faithful, and calculated
to be remembered by the highest and lowest of its
hearers; not from the eloquence of the preacher, nor
from the character of the style, but from the plain,
downright truths it contained, and tho personal applica-
tion made of them to the state of every human being.

, not merely to the high personages
whole appearance of the congregation
there but to the practical feeling that this was a place of
to be engaged. The preacher read the 61st paraphrase,and the word had evidently escaped the Queen, who
turned round to a young man in the pew immediately
behind, and requested him, apparently, to show her the
place,' as people say in Scotland.
"At the conclusion of the service there*was very little
displayof curiosity. The only feeling of that kind which
seemed Offensive was evinced by an old gentleman and a
lady, who came in a vehicle from a neighbouring • •
apparently the only strangers present.

to seek nor to avoid mixing with the people; who, on
their part did not step out of their ordinary walk and
course either to avoid or to meet them. The gentleman
would have been considered by a passenger one of the
finest-looking men in Scotland. The laxly would have
been regarded as remarkably pleasing—or kind-hearted
—but, at the same time having a large share of intellect
and decision in her appearance. As the people before
and behind exhibited no unusual feeling regarding them,
and only a two-horse carriage was in waiting on the
south side of the bridge, a stranger in these parts might
have supposed that he had met a landlord, his lady, and
their tenantry on the way from church. Europe, or the
world, had no finer spectacle, notwithstanding its appa-
rent simplicity. The lady was the Queen of the widest
and the greatest empire of the world ; the gentleman was
her consort, and, from his position, the first in the land;
their guards were the devotion and affection of their
people, rising not merely from cold foundation of duty,
but from respect and love to the character of the purest
and the best Sovereign of a long line of Kings. And
yet the preacher had spoken of troublous times in the
Church they had left—troublous times that might have
even shaken the strong structure of the British constitu-
tion except for the character of the lady who held the
sceptre of the state.
" At the south side of the bridge a small number of
the people whose road lay down the river waited until
the Queen's carriage came up, took off their hats or bon-
nets, and bowed.

" There was, we think, no occurrence that could give
umbrage to the Queen, who is known to be opposed
to any great manifestation, even of respect, in such
circumstances."

THE INSURRECTION.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.—The accounts re-
ceived this morning from the south are gratifying to
the extent of proving that the previous accounts were
grossly exaggerated, and that the gatherings of the
peasantry were more of a local and agrarian than a
political nature. The truth is, the general policy of
the landlords has almost driven the people to despera-
tion, and we believe there is no longer any doubt of
the recent meetings at Slievenamon having been caused
by the seizures and evictions by which Tipperary,
Waterford, Limerick, and Clare have recently been
distinguished. It appears now that the previous state-
ments, as to the insurrection, were not only grossly
exaggerated, but that they contained very little of
any truth. The bridge at Granagh was not blown up
by the rebels, nor was there any reason to believe
that several of the peasantry had been shot.
By the train which arrived at Kingsbridge this
morning, we learn that everything was tranquil, and
that little fear was entertained of even an attempt at '
an outbreak. The following appears in the Freeman's
Journal of this morning :
"Kilkenny, Thursday Evening, Sept. 14.
" The districts of this and the adjoining county of
Tipperary, which were disturbed during the beginning
of the week, now wear an aspect of the utmost calm, and
the people seem to be engaged in the fields at their usual
avocations, as if nothing uncommon had recently occur-
red in the neighbourhood. Rumour is, of course, still
busy, and we have flying reports of beacon-fires on the
hills around Dungarvan, in the county of Waterford, last
night, and of a meeting, this morning, of a large con-
course of peasantry, at a place called Bawndonnell, a
portion of the Slievenamon range, but situate imme-.
diately oa the opposite side of the mountain from Aheny.
To these reports, however, I give but little credence,
and I have no revolutionary' intelligence to impart to
you which could be considered based upon any authority.
" Major-General M'Donald is in this city, with his
Aid-de-Camp, Lieutenant M'Donald, and his military
secretary, Lieutenant-Colonel Wood. Captain Roberts,
Assistant Inspector-General of Constabulary, has '
also arrived here to take command of the
police force of the district.' The battalion of the 60th
Rifles, which arrived from Dublin by the late
train of yesterday evening, are still encamped in the
barrack square here. The head-quarters of the 83d re-
giment proceeded from Callan this-morning to Fethard,
en route for Fermoy. Two companies of the 75th, which
have been for sometime encamped at Callan, also left
that town this morning, and had marched within two
miles of Kilkenny, intending to join head-quarters, when
they received a dispatch from General 111.1)onald, order-
ing them to remain in their 'former position. They
accordingly returned to Callan, and again pitched their
tents there. Orders were received by the commanding-
officer of the 83d, to leave 200 of his men in Fethard for
the present. _ _

It is asserted here that a farmer, residing in the
neighbourhood of Bawnconnell, and obnoxious to the
peasantry, was this morning shot by some of the people.
This is stated on authority to which, under ordinary cir-
cumstances, credence would be fully due. But at pre-
sent I would be reluctant to vouch for the accuracy of
any report not officially authenticated.
" The driver of the Cionmel car, who arrived here at
eight o'clock this evening, states that the most perfect
tranquillity prevailed along the entire of his route through
Tipperary. '
The Southern Reporter, referring to the distur-
bances at Granagh Bridge, assures us that they were
not political, but social. They arise, that journal
says, " from the relations between landlord and
tenant. We have been assured that scarcely a load
of agricultural produce is sent to market without a
person empowered by the landlord, his agent, the
bailiff, or his agent, accompanying it to market, and
receiving from the buyer the price of the commodity,
giving to the grower anything, dr nothing--just as
he pleased. This has maddened the people, and it is
more than feared it will cause a general rising all
over, at least, the south of Ireland. It is said that a
seizure of crops was the immediate cause of the out-
break."
