striving for the extension of knowledge they are not
pursuing any beautiful illusion ; they see that while
they are elevating their minds by the contemplation
of the universe, and appeasing a delightful curiosity
by analysing its portions, they are conferring practi-
cal benefits upon society, and satisfying many of our
corporeal wants. The allurements of philosophy have
proved themselves to be unlike the aerial [music and
the golden showers of CALMAN : the most extrava-
gant visions have been realised by yielding to those
allurements.

All the incalculable advantages which may be con-
ferred upon mankind by the diffusion of knowledge may
be, in some measure, estimated by the extraordinary
blessings already derived from that source. Many
eminent personages have been so impressed with the
truth as to have devoted the energy of many years to
the popularisation, as it may be called, of science
generally. Lord BROUGHAM has fought that good
fight in England. M. ARAGO has done so in France ;
others have arisen in other countries who have en-
eavoured to emulate the conduct of their predecessors.
Excellently, however, as such efforts are calculated
to inform the people of the facts which have already
been acquired, and to foster those germs of discovery
which are lying dormant in so many quarters of the
community, much remains to be done before the
great crusade after knowledge can be ade-
quately commenced. It is not merely necessary to dis-
seminate the fruits which have been already culled,
but it is necessary to sow fresh seed and to irrigate
the soil anew, so that fresh fruit may be produced
for future distribution. The facts already accumu-
lated by philosophy are marvellous enough, it is true,
but additional facts must be divulged and collected :
the march of science has only just commenced. The
source of all our discoveries and inventions must,
therefore, be consulted, if we hope to obtain
more of similar blessings : the national intellect must
be kept in a healthful and constant state of activity,
and this never can be done systematically, unless
the most eminent of our philosophical minds are
brought, periodically, into collision. From the
interchange of thought consequent upon the assem-
blage of such men ; from their mutual collation
of arguments and calculations; from the sub-
mission of the results of their 3everal labours to the
scrutiny of each other ; from their constant retiospec-
tion of what has already been accomplished, and from
their constant survey of what still remains to be
accomplished, most material advantages must neces-
sarily follow—the stores of philosophy must
thereby be increased by the addition of new data—
unexpected trains of ideas will be occasionally sug-
gested by this communion of intelligent and original
minds—and those trains of ideas may ultimately lead
to the detection of some of the great motors of matter.
The secret of steam-power was not developed under
half such propitious auspices—or the mystery of
the compass—or the combination of lenses into a
telescope—or the phenomena of electricity—or the
venous and arterial circulation.

The British Association, now assembled at South-
ampton, occupies, to our thinking, the eminent position
which we have endeavoured to illustrate. It forms a
kind of guarantee that human knowledge shall not re-
trograde ; it is a national stimulus to the national intel-
ligence of great Britain, and, by inference, to the in-
telligence of other countries. To our mind, it fulfils
precisely the office which was so much wanted : it
promotes science by that interchange of thought be.
tween contemporary philosophers which we have al-
ready particularised as so necessary. By deriding this
Association, as some individuals are unfortunately
accustomed to do, derision is cast indirectly upon
such men as Sir JOHN HERSCHEL, Sir DAVID
BREIVSTER, Dr. BUCKLAND, Sir RODERICK MURCHI-
SON, LEONARD HORNER, Professor WHEATSTONE, and
()then, who by their illustrious efforts in the vineyard
of knowledge have conferred so much that is valuable
upon humanity, and have thereby entitled themselves to
so much deference. The Society for the Diffusion of
Useful Knowledge was formerly maligned as likely
to generate a feeling of infidelity among the popula-
tion,—this outcry origicated among the pharisees of
religion, and if believed by its authors was clearly
the result of a purblind bigotry. The British
Association is taxed with being productive of no prac-
tical benefit to science,---that baseless aspersion can
only originate in something akin to indifferentism as
to the avowed objects of the Association.

1 The discourse uttered on Friday evening by Sir
RODERICK IMPRY MURCHISON, the president for this
year, was a magnificent retrospect of what
has been already achieved through the instrumenta-
lity, under the immediate auspices, or at the sugges-
tion of the British Association. That eloquent and
comprehensive discourse was a refutation—if any was
really required—of the charges levelled at that emi-
nent body. It enumerated with a masterly per-
spicuity the deeds which had been done since
the first establishment of the Association,
—the geographical discoveries under Sir JAMES
Ross ; the meteorological observations at the Royal
1 Observatory of Kew ; the zoological researches of
FORBES and OWEN ; the geological labours of its
associates ; the monster telescope of Lord
ROSSE ; the ichthyological works of Sir JOHN
RICHARDSON ; the dynamical mathematics under
RoistrzsoN, and the engineering of RENNIE. In
proposing a vote of thanks to the eminent Professor
who delivered that discourse, Lord PALNIERSTON en-
larged in glowing and beautiful language upon the
advantages as well as pleasures resulting from the cul-
tivation of scientific knowledge, and especially the ad-
vantages resulting from such societies as the British
Association. To the noble and deserved eulogium
passed upon that association by her MAJESTY'S Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, we refer the reader. It con-
denses into a few brief sentences the merits of its
members and the beneficent consequences of its
meetings. One beautiful sentiment uttered by the
Noble Lord incidentally we cannot refrain from
placing directly before our readers' attention. Re-
ferring to the contemplations and results of science,
Lord PALMERSTON observed :--

" They are not only useful as conducing to the enjoy-
ment and to the prosperity of mankind; but they must
have a considerable and salutary effect on the minds of
men, for is it possible that those who are in the enjoy-
ment of great aad overweening prosperity must not be
brought to feel a more proper sense of their position,
when they see the utter insignificance of this globe as
compared with the mighty universe, which the telescope
of Lord Rosse unfolds to the eye? and is it possible,
on the other hand, that those who, brcken by misfor-
tune, are bowed down by affliction, should not find a
:etree of resignation and of patience in that science by
which they are more especially reminded of the great
duration of time, and which shows the small period of
time during which they ate destinQd to suffer in this
world, as so small and insignificant compared to the great
eternity to which they belong, as is a grain of sand to
the earth which they inhabit, or that earth itself to the
mighty universe of which it forms so small and insigni-
ficant a portion?"

As calculated to disseminate these lofty considera-
tions, as well as to extend the scope of human intel-
ligence, we look with peculiar satisfaction on the an-
nual meetings of the British Association.

The general half-yettrly meeting of the proprietors
of the South-Eastern Railway Company took place
on Thursday, when the directors presented the usual
report respecting the state and prospects of the com•
pany. The document was looked for with much
anxiety, in order that the public might know under
what pretences the managers would attempt to justify
the late increase in the fares and charges for con-
veyance, and also whether they were prepared to
brave the storm of public opinion, and to persevere in
the unwise and injudicious course they had adopted,
or gracefully to acknowledge their error, and make
all the amends in their power for the mischief already
done and the odium incurred. It was also hoped that
in the event of a continuance by the directors in their
suicidal policy, an earnest protest would be offered
by the general body of the proprietary,
and that the sense of the meeting would
be testified in the strongest manner against
the recent change—a change which was adopted by
the directors on their own responsibility, without the
opinions of the general body with respect thereto
being asked for, or desired.
. _

The report (a copy whereof appeared in The Sun
of yesterday) was chiefly remarkable for its total
disregard of the interests of the public. In every
line it breathed the spirit of monopoly. The whole
end and object appears to be, how and by what
means can the greatest amount be extracted from the
pockets of the public ? It is not pretended that the
former reduction of rates was not attended with be-
nefit to all classes ; that a larger sum was not thereby
earned by the company, and made divisible amongst

the proprietors. On the contrary, it appeared that I
the increase, as compared with the corresponding
half-year of 1845, before the reduction bad taken
place, was 37,653 first-class, 87,712 second-class,
and no less than 271,068 third-class passengers ;
on the latter an increase of more than 200 per cent.
True it was that a greater quantity of ground had
been travelled over, consequent upon the opening of
the Tunbridge Wells branch, and that from Ashford
to Canterbury and Ramsgate, but it will be found
that the increase more than corresponded to the ad-
ditional distance, and it is well known that it takes
some time fully to develope the resources of a rail-
way, and that a far less number of passengers have
recourse to it during the first months of its existence
than when it has been for some time in operation ; a
great increase of profit may therefore reasonably be
looked for from the several branches on future occa-
sions. The directors, however, seize on the fact, that
notwithstanding the increase in the amount received,
and in the number of persons carried, the amount per
mile per week earned, in 1845, was greater than that
earned during the last half-year, to say
that it thereby became incumbent on
them to reconsider the scale of passenger
fares, and to adjust them as seemed reasonable, after
the experience gained on a trial of twelve months at
the greatly reduced rates. This is the only explana-
tion they condescend to give, the only apology they
offer to the public for the great additional charges
they have made at the close of a session of Parliament,
during which they relied in the strongest manner on
the reductions they had previously effected as giving
them a claim upon the nation, and as sufficient in
itself to overrule the claims of a rival company, offer-
ing great advantages to the inhabitants of the northern
parts of Kent, and to all continental travellers ; they
do not mention how much less was the amount per
mile earned during the last half-year, nor how that
was calculated. They could not possibly suppose
that branches just opened would have earned
as largely per mile as the main trunk,
which had been in full operation for no less than ten
years, and which enjoyed peculiar advantages as
being (for the present) the route by which a great
majority of travellers to the continent must travel.
We call upon the directors, if they wish to be sup-
posed to have acted in a fair and bone; fide manner, to
publish a comparison of the rates per mile earned
over the same ground on the fares in operation during
1845 and during the corresponding period of the
present year, at the reduced rate ; without pretending
to the power of divination, we will venture to pre-
dict that it will be found to have been more remune-
rative at the cheaper rate. If this be the case, what
can be said of the conduct of those who put forward,
as an argument to justify the increase of fares,
certain circumstances, when, if the facts con-
nected therewith were fully and truly set forth, it
would appear to be strongly in favour of the
other course. Let the directors, then, if they wish
to be acquitted in the eyes of the public, state what
the earning has been during the corresponding por-
tion of the years 1845 and 1846, or the portion that
was, during both periods, opened to the public—say
from London to Dover, exclusive of the branches.
Lord TORRINGTON, in seconding the adoption of the
report, ventured to attack the public press of the
country for the animadversions which they, in
the honest and fearless discharge of their
duty, thought it necessary to pronounce on
the conduct of the directors in raising the
fares of the line He expressed his regret " that
the writers, without looking into the facts, and with-
out making inquiries into the circumstances, should
make such statements, that they should have opened such
attacks without strong and serious grounds on which'
to base their assertions." Now, with all respect for his
Lordship, we conceive that there were ample grounds
for the observations offered. Those contained in
The Sun were based on the simple fact of the in-
crease of rates, which has been found to be opposed
to the experience of the past, which has clearly estab-
lished that in every instance in which reductions of
fares have taken place there has been a more than
proportionate increase of traffic, and that there has
been a mutual benefit to the public and the com-
panies therefrom. We also thought that this pro-
ceeding was peculiarly objectionable on the part of
the South-Eastern Company, being in violation of
an implied contract with the public. Their advo-
cates had made the committee-rooms resound with
praises of their disinterested conduct in the reduction
of their fares, an argument of which they re-
ceived the full benefit. We pointed out
how unjust it was that persons who, on
the faith of the existing fares, had taken country
residences along the line should now be subjected to
a greatly increased expenditure ; that it was very
unfair, not only to compel persons to travel an addi-
tional distance by a circuitous route, but also to
charge them for the extra space. These were the
arguments used in The Sun, and we defy the Noble
Lord to show how they are in any manner shaken
by the very lame explanation offered, and to which
his Lordship referred with so much complacency. He
took peculiar credit to the company for charging only
one penny per mile for third-class passengers. We I
believe that the Legislature are fairly entitled to that
praise, and not the company. Mr. SALOMONS made
an appeal to the proprietors highly creditable to
himself to induce them to retrace their steps ; but,
with some few honourable exceptions, the assemblage
were blinded by mistaken views of fancied pro-
fits, and disregarded the prudent and sensible ad-
vice offered. We again emphatically warn the com-
pany to pause. Should they persist, a heavy retribu-
tion must await them ; the public will not suffer
themselves to be treated in such a manner with ime
punity. They may now domineer in fancied security,
but they will awake to the disagreeable consequences
at a very early period of the next session of Par-
liament.

A letter from Rome, dated 28th August, which
appears in the Augsburgh Gazette, has the follow-
ing :

" It is stated that Cardinals Vanicelli and Dellagenga,
the one legate of Orbix and Pesaro, and the otber.of
Bologna, are about to give in their resignations. From
the late events their positions are no longer tenable ;
the partisans of the ancient regime are still agitating,
and to that must be added that the Propaganda in Paris
and in London are not content with the amnesty. They
dream of a kingdom of Italy, and endeavour to gain over
the youth ; the people, however, reject this odious idpa,
and the persons who have been amnestied show them-
selves worthy of the clemency of the Pope. Cardipal
Gizgi has lately addressed a circular to alt the authori-
ties, calling upon them to oppose every tendency to re-
volution. The Government has already given proof that
it will not overlook any negligence on the part of public
functionaries. Dr. Fossi, Governor of Fazenza, has
been brought before the tribunals, and his place giver.;
to another. MM.. Gorge and d'Asti, directors of police
at Foligno and Pesaro, had met with a similar fate. The
former only escaped being massacred by putting op a
disguise, in which he got off. His Royal llighness the
Prince de Joinville is expected to arrive here this day.
He is charged with a special mission from the King, his
father, to the Pope. lie will stay only one clear clay
at Rome, and then return to Naples."

The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelligence
from Constantinople of the 27th, and from Athens of
the 30Lh ult.

The Constantinople journals state that accounts
had been received from Trebisond of the suppression
of the revolt in the Adjara, and of the capture of its
chief, KEUR HUSSEIN BEY.

At Erzeroum the people were still in an agitated
state, and the guard at the Persian embassy was
doubled. The cholera was ravaging Teheran and
several other cities of Persia. One of the sons of ,the
Smut had died, and so great was the alarm that the
SHAH and his Ministers had fled from the city, and
the members of the corps diplomatique were about
to follow their example.
At Athens the Chamber of Representatives was
still occupied in discussing the budget. A royal
decree has been issued fur the colonisation of the
Thracians, Bulgarians, and Sgrvians, resident in
Greece. By this decree they are all to be united in
one establishment, instead of residing, as hitherto; in
different parts of the country. The decree consists
of 34 clauses, fixing the regulations of the colony,
and the attribution of the different officers.

Madrid papers of the sth have arrived.
It would appear that Mr. BULWER, on being in-
or med of the double marriage, had made a condi-
tional protest against the MONTPENSIER alliance.
This fact is now admitted by the Government organ,
the Heraldo. The opposition to this marriage
on the part of the Spanish nation was
daily increasing ; the Carlists and the Pro-

gressistas are joined in their opposition by the more
powerful section of the Moderados. In the Cortes
M. PACHXCO will lead the opposition to the project
for the MONTPENSIER marriage, and the Tiempo
says, that so afraid are the Afrancesado party
of encountering discussion, that the announce-
ment to the Cortes of the marriage of the QUEEN
will be immediately followed by the reading a decree
dissolving that body. There was a rumour in Madrid
that the preparations for the marriage of the INFANTA
had been countermanded. It is said that the mar-
riage of the QUEEN will take place on the 18th.
General PEXEALA having been appointed Inspector-
General of Cavalry, has resigned the office of C,p-
tain-General of Madrid, which has been conferred on
General SHELLY. The troop, which were concen-
trated on the Portuguese frontier, have gone into
cantonments near Seville.

We have received the Paris p.tpers of Thursday.
The Journal des Debats has an article which may
be looked upon as official on the subject of the mar-
riage of the INFANTA to the Duke BE MONTPENSIER•
After designating it as for Europe a great " political
fact, for France an event of immense national import-
ance," it thus continues:—

"The marriage of the Infanta to the Duke de Mont-
pensier is a pledge of a complete reconciliation between
Spain and France. It re•establi-ihes that traditional in-
timacy which had been so unfortunately broken. It may
now be said without fear that there has been for nearly
half a century a wide breach of continuity in the history
of France and Spain. Those ties, which were formed
by nature, and strengthened by religion and good
policy, were unhappily broken by the Imperial-invasion.
The hand of violence can never he laid with impunity
upon the liberty of a people—upon their national in-
dependence. The recollection of this has long dwelt
in the hearts of the Spaniards, and, perhaps, has not
even yet completely disapp€ tired. Nothing can be
more likely to efface the last traces of dissa-
tisfaction and consummate the entire reunion of
the two nations, than the happy alliance that has
just been agreed upon. The marriage of the Infanta
of Spain with a son of France will, we are convinced, be
the seal of oblivion put upon all painful remembrances,
and mark the close of this unfortunate era. The Pyre-
nees will stand fast, Ifut there will no'longer subsist be-
tween the two countries, those moral barriers which are
more powerful still than those of geography. At no
period could the re-establishment of this ancient in-
timacy have been made under more happy auspices.
There was a time, still not very far back, when it might
have been accomplished, but not in a manner so com-
plete. When Spain had no strength but for incessant
revolutions—when she expended all her energies in re-
bellion, and presented to the world no other spec-
tacle than that of an anarchy whose source was in
the laws, France could not so closely identify herself
with Spain without rendering herself in a measure a
participator in a state of things in hostility to her own
nstitutions,ther own policy, and the:principles of her own
Government. Spain has happily saved herself from this
anarchy. In these latter years she has secured the
durability of her free institutions, by founding them
upon the basis of order. Since the reform effected in
her fundamental law she has become a truly constitu-
tional country—she has, in fact, a government. As
the law no longer allows citizens to organise inde-
pendent military corps, and thus establish permanent
revolt—as the provinces can no longer dismember the
monarchy, and the local authorities can no longer place
themselves above the Central Government, and scatter
to every extremity of the kingdom the fragments o
the executive power, from this day a representative
and constitutional Government is founded in Spain,
upon regular, solid, and natural bases. This is a work
which undoubtedly can never be accomplished in a day
—Spain has undoubtedly still to pass through many
trials before she can reach the end; but she is well on her
way—she must march forward rapidly—and France will
now have greater interest in encouraging and supporting
her in her endeavours. It is a great advantage to
France to have acquired new points of contact with a
country in which order is being daily more and more
consolidated, and in which nothing is wanted but
order to bring forth all its immense resources. Com-
merce will naturally follow in the same path as its policy,
and Spain must necessarily become one of the most vast
and valuable marts for the produce of France. But this
is not meant to indicate that France has either the
pretension or the desire to exercise an exclusive influ-
ence over Spain, or to take advantage of her natural
means of action, to exclude the interests of other coun
tries. Even when most intimately connected with us,
Spain will not the less retain her full freedom of action
towards her other allies, and n ill continue to be com-
pletely independent in all her relations. France seeks
only to draw more closely in Spain those bonds which
are rendered natural and indispensable by proximity of
territory, by historical tradition, by relationship of
sovereign families ; but she does not aspire to create for
herself, in any other respect, any species of monopoly,
or any exclusive preponderance." '
The Debate next maintains, that although the re-
vival of the family compact is not thought of, the
marriage between the INFANTA and the Duke DE
MONTPENSIER is of great "dynastic interest," since
it sheds fresh lustre and eclat on the House of
ORLEANS, and is another step towards uniting the
great BOURBON family, now occupying three of the
first thrones in Europe.. The first step towards this
reunion was the recognition of the Queen of SPAIN
by the King of NAPLES ; the next the marriage of
the Duc D'AUMALE with a Neapolitan Princess; and
the third the marriage of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER
with the Infanta of SPAIN.
A free-trade association is about to be established
at Lyons.
-

The Due DE MONTPRNSIER, who is to be imme-
diately created a Major-General, has arrived in Paris.
The Prince DD JOINVILLE was expected at Rome,
charged with a special mission to the POPE from King
Louis PHILIPPE.

The account of the expulsion of the French from
Otaheite, which was published a few days since, is
contradicted by the Journal du Havre. The last
accounts from Otaheite were to the effect that some
hostilities had taken place, but that the natives had
been repulse 3, and a piece of cannon captured from
them.

The accounts from Algiers are up to the sth.
The country was tranquil, but in the neighbourhood
of Constantine a caid, named LAKIIAL, distinguished
for his partiality to the French, had been set upon
by a large number of Arabs and shot, and his mules
horses, and baggage taken off. His attendants fled
at the moment of the attack. According to the
Akbar, a French envoy had arrived at Tangiers, to
treat with ABD• EL-KADER for an exchange of pri-
soners.

The Courrier Francais says :—" An order has, it
is said, been sent by telegraph to General DE BAR,
Governor of Algeria ad interim, to prepare an expe-
ditionary body of 5,000 men to enter upon a cam-
paign immediately after the return of Marshal
t3no EAUD."

MADRID, SEPTEMBER 6.

Ll Heraldo declares that the marriage of the In-
fanta with the Duke of Montpensier will take place,
notwithstanding the resistance to it on the part of
any Foreign Power.

El Tiempo says that M. Bussen was to present
himself to-day at the Palace, and demand, in a
formal manner, the hand of the Infanta, the Queen's
sister, for the Duke of Montpensier. El Espectador
vs as sY.:zed to-day by order of the Political Chief.
Mr. Bulwer, British Minister at Madrid, sent,
at one o'clock this day, a second note, of a strong and
ener,o,:ctic character, to Senor Isturitz, on the subject of
the merriage of the Infanta with the Duke of Mont-
pensier- He warns Senor Isturitz of the danger that
will probably follow a perseverance in that scheme.
He maintains the right of England to interfere
in the marriage of the Infanta, which, by the law of
the connty:y, is of as much public importance as that
of the Queen herself. He declares that England, of
all °eller nations, has a right to interfere, as her
armies bled and her treasures were squandered in
sustaining the independence of the country. He
regrets that so much mystery and secresy have
been ohtivrved by Senor Isturitz on the subject; and

fears that thereby he incurs a grave responsibility.
Even if the Cortes agree to the marriage, it will
nevertheless not cease to be a question of public im-
portance and interest to all Europe. The Queen of
Spain is an independart Sovereign in her own states,
but she cannot disturb by any act of hers the rela-
tions that exist between the Powers of Europe.

A Cabinet Council was summoned at two o'clock
in consequence of the above.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)

The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been
comparatively animated. Sales, 44,410 bales ; stock
721,406 bales ; against 968,110 bales at this time last
year.—Shares were dull yesterday.
This is a very blank day in the City. There are no
arrivals of interest, and most of the trading merchants
are out of town.

The Bank returns for the week last made up shows a
decrease of 115,0201,, or to 22.761,8701.
The Rest is higher by 310,109/. ; or at 3,864,4791.
The other deposits show a decrease of 604,7591. ; or,
to 8,557,1091.

The Public Deposits are higher, by 176,7071. ; or to
7,318,919/.
In the other items there has not been changes of
importance. The amount of Bullion has decreask d
82.241/. ; or to 16,273,82;1

There is but a shade of alteration to-day in the Con-
sol Market. For the Account the price is 96*, and for
Money, 95-4-. The new Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,
with the dividend, for money, have been sold at 98*.
Exehequer-bills are at 10s. and 13s. premium.
Only a few bargatns were made in the Foreign Funds
to-day. The Portuguese Four per Cents. have gone
hack to 42k, Spanish Consols are at 27, and the Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 59g.
The Share Markets are flat.

FALMOUTH, SEP'. 10.—The Hamburgh ship
Franzi,ka, Captain Berndt, arrived here last night, from
Rio de Janeiro, fir orders, whence she sailed on the 10th
of July, and reports that the packet Petrel would sail
about the 20th of that month. Exchange 27d. on
London, and on Paris 3501. No political news. Tfp,
Empress's accouchement was daily expected. Nothing
new from the River Plate. Money was very scarce. The
c,,ffee market had been brisk for about a fortnight at 31
50 to 34 50, equal to 30s. to 325. 6d.•' but when the
Franziska sailed the market was cleared, at a decline of
100 reis.

A YOUNG MID'S IDEA OF A PLEASANT DAY.—
CROSSING THE LlNE.—Extract from a letter just re-
ceived by a clergyman, near Salisbury, from a Naval
Cadet on board her Majesty's ship S—t, on its voyage
to China :-1846, May 3.—We are approaching Nep-
tune's territories. We expect him to hail u; so-night,
and we are making preparation for him. Men are sta-
tioned on every top with buckets of water to pitch down
on the crowd as they go forwards to see who is hailing
us. As we expected, Neptune hailed us, and asked
what ship it was, and where from ? The Captain came
on deck and answered him. As soon as the men beard
him hailing us, they all ran forwards to see who it was,
and then the buckets of water came pouring down upon
us. Everybody got wet through. The captain invited
him to come on board on Monday. Accordingly every-
thing was prepared to receive him. We got the fore
trysail triced up to the forecastle in the form of a bag,
and filled with water. We got the fire engine rigged,
and everything ready. There was an old gun slide,
which was covered with old flags for his Majesty to sit
on. He came on board about nine o'clock. As soon as
he came on board, all the culprits who had to undergo
the operation of shaving were thrust down below, and
all the hatches shut, so that we could not see anything
/hat was-going on. Mr. M., the master, went up first ;
then came the different officers of our berth. When it
came to my turn the constables came down and blind-
folded me. I was then led on the quarter-deck, where
the first thing was the engine playing right in my face.
I was then dragged on to the forecastle, where the bar-
bers caught hold of me, and led me to the brink of the
bath, on board which I sat down. They then began
lathering my face all over with tar, and to scrape it with
an old scythe, notched like a saw. When they thought
I had had shaving enough, they pulled the plank from
under me, and down I went right into the water. The
moment I was out I got hold yf a bucket of water, and
flung it at the first person I met. This went on till all
were shaved, and then they piped hands to dry decks,
which was the signal to leave off, so we ran down be-
low and got a good wash, and so ended almost the most
pleasant day I have ever spent.
SURREY SESSIONS.—The next Surrey Quarter
Sessions will commence on Monday, at the Court House
at Newingtoa.
