()NE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON
CONVICTION.
The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of
DU BARRY'S invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA
LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and,
upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of
Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper
Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £6,000, from selling
any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro-
prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above
reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor-
mation of any breach of the injunction. An intelligent
public requires no admonition to shun all shopkeepers who
may attempt impositions. London : 'BARRY DU BARRY

THE QUEEN'S HOTEL, Queenstown.—Mr.
ROBERT WILSON respectfully apprises tourists and
families visiting this delightful watering-place, the air of
which is famed throughout Europe, that the splendid este
blishment so well known as the " Queen's Hotel" has come
under his management. This hotel is one of the finest in the
United Kingdom; and besides being furnished with all the
luxuries and appliances of a First-class Hotel, it combines all
the advantages of a beautiful situation, commanding charm-
ing views, the best attendance, ample accommodation either
for families or single visitors, close contiguity to the steam-
boat pier, and the finest promenades of Queenstown, and a
scale of prices so moderate as to enable its visitors to enjoy
all the advantages of a first-class hotel on lhe same terms
they would have to pay in a minor one. From its open and
healthful situation the Queen's Hotel is also peculiarly suit-
able for invalids.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION:

ABERDEEN, SEPT. 22.

The meeting of the British Association for 1859
has been brought to a close. A meeting of the
General Committee was held in the new Musk-hall
this afternoon, on which occasion Sir David
Brewster presided.
Professor WALKER, Secretary to the Association,
read the resolutions passed by the General Com-
mittee this morning. The money voted for various
scientific purposes amounted to £930, being distri-
buted as follows—viz., for Kew Observatory, £500;
chymical science, £9O; geology, £6O ; zoology and
botany, £lOO ; physiology, £2O; and mechanical
science, £l6O.

Reports from the sections recommending papers
to be printed in the proceedings of the Association
were then read. It was recommended by Section
that _a committee should be appointed to continue
the inquiry into the performance of steam:Vessels
and vessels under sail, with a view of comparing
the results of the two powers of wind and steam,
and to report to next meeting.
A committee was appointed to report to next
meeting on the scientific objects which may be
sought for by continuing the balloon ascents for-
merly undertaken to great altitudes.
The General Committee also resolved to express
the thanks of the British Association to his Royal
Highness the Prince Consort, as President, for the
interest he has manifested in the'continuation of
magnetic observations, and that he be requested, in
concert with the President of the Royal Society,
to take such steps as may appear most suitable to
carry out the recommendation of the two societies
in respect to these observations.
The Committee of Section A having represented
the probable importance of occasional telegraphio
communication between a few widely separated ports
of Great Britain and Ireland, by which warning
may be given of storms, the General Committee
then recommended application to be made to the
Board of Trade for such an arrangement as may
further this object authoritatively.
On the recommendation of the Committee of
Section E, it was resolved to express to the Govern-
ment its concurrence in the application made by
the Royal Geographical Society to the First Lord
of the Treasury to further a proposed expedition,
under Captain Spoke, to ascertain if the White
Nile has its main source in the Great Nyanza Lake.
Section G recommended the re-appointment of
the committee on the patent laws.
Sir RODERICK MURCHISON then said it gave him
very mr.ch satisfaction to move that the thanks of
the Association be offered to the Lord Prevost of
the city of Aberdeen, to Mr. Thomson, of Banchory,
to the two colleges, to the noblemen and gentlemen
of the county, and particularly to Marischal College,
for the admirable accommodation given for the
meetings of the sections within its walls.—Sir Rode-
rick said that the meeting had been characterised
by an addition to it of a rather novel kind to them
as men of science,—viz., a collection of antiquities,
and beautiful specimens of photography ; for the
latter they were chiefly indebted to Mr. J. F.
White. If he might mention particularly indivi-
duals to whom the meeting were indebted for the
archaeological exhibition, he would name Mr. C.
Dalrymple, Mr. James Hay Chalmers, and Mr. A.
F. Irvine, jun., of Drum. On behalf of the mem-
bers of the Association he expressed their sense of
the hospitality shown by the inhabitants of Aber-
deen.
Admiral FITZROY briefly seconded the motion,
bearing testimony to the hospitality extended to
them, and to the admirable arrangements made by
the local secretaries (Professors Nicol and Fuller
and Mr. J. F. White), and the Lord Provost, which
tended not a little to the signal success which had
attended their proceedings.
The LORD PROVOST briefly acknowledged the
vote of thanks to the inhabitants of Aberdeen and
himself.
Sir A. L. HAY, on the part of the gentlemen of
the county, expressed their gratitude to the Asso-
ciation for the honour done by coming among them.
Professor PHILLIPS, in proposing a vote of
thanks to the local secretaries, stated that this was
the largest meeting of the Association that had
been held, and that the unexampled number of
2,400 persons were present on the occasion of the
inauguratory address of his Royal Highness the
Prince Consort. Notwithstanding the distant part
of Great Britain in which they were assembled, and
the distracted state of the Continent, there was an
increase in the number of their foreign visitors.
The number cf foreign friends present at the meet-
ing last year was 13, while this year there were so
many as 20.
Professor WALKER seconded the motion, which
was unanimously agreed to, and
The meeting was then formally adjourned to
meet at Oxford next year.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO LIEUTENANT-

GENERAL MORSE.

In the obituary of The Sun of yesterday was an.
nounced the death of Lieutenant-General Morse, o:

her Majesty's Indian forces ; but we lament to learn
that this event was the result of an accident which
occurred to the gallant gentleman on the evening
of Friday, the 16th inst. It is only a little time
since that the Lieutenant-General had taken up his
residence at Farley-hill-house, Swallowfield, in
Berkshire, and as his affable and courteous conduct
had already gained him the esteem of all with
whom he came in contact, the sad calamity of his
death has produced a great sensation in the neigh-
bourhood. On the afternoon of the day above-
named Lieutenant-General Morse drove in his dog-
cart to the town of Reading, being accompanied by
his butler. They remained there until about seven
o'clock in the evening, when they set off for Farley-
hill, the Lieutenant-General driving. The horse
went at the pace of about 12 miles an hour, but
nothing occurred until within a mile of Farley-hill-
house, at a part of the road where it was narrow,
and one side had been washed away by the rain.
It was very dark, and four persons coining from the
opposite direction in a phaeton, hearing a dogcart
going at a sharp pace, and fearful of an accident,
called out, but in an instant the wheel of the dog-
cart struck the phaeton, and the force of the colli-
sion was such that the Lieutenant-General and the
butler were thrown into a ditch, and the dog cart
and horse fell in the road. The party in the phroton
found their horse very restive, and could not pull
up ; however, on riding by the George and Dragon
public-house they called out to the landlord that an
accident had happened a few yards distant. Several
persons, on hearing of this, walked along the road,
and found the statement to lie too true. Lieut.-Gen.
Morse and the butler were picked_up in the ditch,
and both were unconscious ; the cart was turned
upside down and the horse on its back. A messenger
was sent to Farley-hill-house and a carriage ob-
tained, in which the Lieutenant-General was re-
moved to his home ; but the butler soon afterwards
recovered and managed to walk back to the inn. A
medical gentleman (Mr. Crisp, of Swallowfield),
was sent for, and he found the Lieutenant-General
labouring under the effects of a concussion or frac-
ture of the brain. Other medical gentlemen were
subsequently called in, and they were unremitting
in their attentions to the unfortunate gentleman.
From the moment of the fall the Lieutenant-Gene-
ral never recovered his consciousness, and on Tues-
day evening he breathed his last. As the case
terminated fatally, there was much anxiety to dis-
cover the person belonging to the carriage against
which the dog cart struck, and it was ascertained
that it was Mr. Mussel white, an architect, of Basing-
stoke, who was with his wife and two female rela-
tives. He attended the inquest, which was held on
Thursday, before Mr. R. Clarke, the coroner of the
district, and said that he drew his phaeton as near
the ditch as he possibly could to avoid an accident,
as he heard a horse coming at a great pace; in a
minute or two his carriage was struck, but none of
his friends were thrown out. He was driving steadily
on his right side of the road, but it being dark,
General Morse could not see any object before him,
and got from his side of the road, and thus the col-
lision occurred. The butler, when examined, said
the General drove at the rate of 12 miles an hour.
The jury were satisfied that no blame attached to
Mr. Musselwhite, and returned a verdict of " Acci-
. dental death."
