Saturday, shortly after noon, the signal was made fur
the " main division to make sail." Aretbusa end
Leander immediately shook out reefs of topsail, but it
was noticed that the Prince Regent took no part in
these proceedings. Oar speculations v ere speedily set
aside by the signal that the two former ships were to
try rate ef sailing by the wind. At 12.15 they started
on the r,:arboard tielc under all plain sail. The wind
vs as very variable, and in less than an hour had altered
nearly three pints Under these circumstances we
cenidder that the commodore, having each-red the vessels
to close, was of opinion that the trial would be unsatis-
factory, and therefore annulled it. When ordered to
close Arethuse had ga!ned on Leander 520 yards. It
is but fair to observe that every change of wind was in
favour of the Arethusa, the ships falling off. Sea
smooth; force r f a ind 3 to 4; distance sailed 6 5 rei!es.
On Monday wo had a trial off the wind, commencing
at 11 AM. and r ailing at 3 P , wind E.N E., course
W.N.W., force of wind 3 ti 4, sea smooth, and rate of
going to 81 knots. Whole distance run 25 miles,
under sail with starboard studding tails. The bear-
ings and distanc,s of the ships from Prince lie•g% nt at
starting were as under:--The Phae!on, S. 9 E , distance
1 75 mites; Leander, S. 16 E., distance 1.36 mites; Are-
thusa, S. 38 E , distance 1.91 miles; Arrogant, S. 17 E.,
distance 2.25 mites. At the termins:tion Phaeton had
gained en Prince Regent 4.18 miles; D ander, 1.25
miles; Arethusa. 1.15 miles; Arrogant. 2.42 miles.
On Tuesday, 30th July, made St. Michael's, end on
Wednesday commodore stood in towards Villa Franca,
and communicated with the consul, the squadron stand-
ing off and un under easy sail. We expected to be at
Payal so as to meet the homeward-bound, West India
Mail, bat after dodging about the channels leading to
that island, wo went off towat ds Angou, chief town of
Terceira. Whilst the commodore was communicating
with the consul the frigates were exercising at general
quarters, firing at a mark. This was on Saturday, 3€l
August. In the evening we bore up for Lisbon. On
Monday, sth, we bad a trial by the wind, commencing
at 10 30 A.M., and ending at 3 30 P.M., wind light, vary-
ing from N.E. to N.N.E., slight head swell and strength
of wind 4. At starting Arrogant was on Phaeton's
post quarter, Leander on her starboard bow; and Are-
thus aon larboard quarter of Leander. They started on
the port tack. Shortly after starting Leander split her
foretopgallant.sail. This accident gave her competitors
considerable advantage. About 1 P.M. her royal haul-
yards carried away. This trial, after various fluctuations,
terminated as follows:—Phaeton gained on Prince Re-
gent 8.32 miles; Leander, 3.50 miles; Arethusa, 2.70
miles; and Arrogant, 4.38 miles.
Arrogant has improved in a most astonishing degree
since our last trials ; aad Leander has improved, but in
a less degree. We have yet to try in a strong breeze ;
but the general impression is that the vessel is not ;yet
built which will excel the Phaeton.
On Sunday, 11th, we made all sail (I mean the com-
modore) in order to get an anchorage before dark.
Phaeton lost a mon overboard, who was picked up by
Arrogant. This accident caused them to get out of
station, and in making sail to regain it the signal was
made to demand the rate of going of Phaeton ; she re-
plied 13i knots ; Phaeton going under single-reefed
topsails, topgallantsails, and courses. Anchored its
Cascacs Bay and the Bay of Passo d'Arcos in the even-
ing. Phaeton, Leander, and Arrogant got under weigh
early in the following morning, and took up berths off
Lisbon. In consequence of the strong_ gales, Prince
Regent and Arethusa did not break ground until
Wednesday following. Found here the St. Lawrence
United States frigate, and Colombo Sardinian brig.
These have both left. We are at present waiting the
arrival of a vessel from England with stores. Having
received these ..we shall be off for another cruise.—

HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Return.)
The health of London is now better than it usually
is at this season of the year. 882 deaths were regis-
tered ; the average of the ten corresponding weeks
(1840-9) is 1,078; or, corrected for the increase of
population, 1,176. If the week of 1849 is omitted—
when 2,796 persons died—the corrected average is
968 ; and the deaths last week are less by 86 than
this number.
In the last week of August, 1849, cholera carried
off 1,663, diarrhoea 234 lives: in the corresponding
week of this year the deaths from cholera were 4;
from diarrheel 118 ; and at the present time there is
no trace of Asiatic cholera in London. A coster-
monger, with diseased kidneys, died of English cho-
lera in Walworth, on August 21 ; three cases
of cholera infantum were also registered in the week.
The following are the particulars of the four
deaths :
On the 30th of August, at Windsor-cottazes,
Kensal-town, the daughter of a single woman,
aged 4 months, " cholera, English (7 days), dy-
sentery."
On the 27th of August, at 110, Lillington-street,
Westminster, the son of a journeyman carpenter,
aged 5 months, " cholera infantum (2 days)."
On the 21st of August, at 1, Union-street, East-
street, Sr. Peter's, Walworth, a costermonger, aged
28 years, " cholera Anglica, kidneys diseased."—
Post mortem.
On the 28th of July, at the Artillery Barracks,
Woolwich, the daughter of a barrack-master, aged
11 months, " cholera infantum (5 days)."
In addition to diarrhoea, the two zymotic diseases
that deserve attention are typhus and scarlatina ;
typhus was fatal to 14 children, to 23 adults between
the ages of 15 and 60, and to 3 old people—in all to
40 persons ; scarlatina and putrid sore throat to 28
children ueder the age of 15, to 4 adults, and to one
person in advanced life. Scarlatina, which is so fatal
to young persons, has been advancing slowly for the
last 30 weeks ; it was fatal in the three series of ten
wteks in 146, 185, and 212 cases. It will be ob-
served in the Registrar's notes that, as is usually the
case, the disease has prevailed with severity in parti•
cular localities.
'The prevalence of intolerable fetid exhalations from
the sewers during the week appears to have attracted
attention. What would be thought of the arrange-
ments of a city in which the smoke was poured from
the street level? yet it is known that smoke is
much less noxious than the roitonous vapours that are
still suffered to exhale from the gullyholes into the
streets and houses of the metropolis. If an epidemic
of scarlatina is.impending, the removal of this nuisance
should be immediately considered, as nothing tends
more to make scarlatina a putrid disease than stink-
ing, putrescent vapours.
By the Greenwich observations, the mean reading
of the barometer was 29,979 inches, or much higher
than in the previous weeks. The mean temperature
of the Thames was GI deg., of the air 56 9 deg , which
is 3.5 deg. below the average. The wind was south-
west and north-west, and often stagnant, travelling
at the rate of 230 or 325 miles a day for three days,
and from 40 to 85 miles during the last four days of
the week. Rain fell ou Monday and Wednesday, but
it was not the one-seventh part of an inch.

BRIGIITON.—The theatre here opened for the season
on Saturday last, under the ma: agement of Mr. Belcour, of
provincial celebrity. Ile has spared no expense to render
the theatre available to its numerous visitors, with a good
company selected from the principal London stars, with
Sheridan Knowles's play of the Hunchback, a divertisement,
and the farce of That Rascal Jack, The house was very
fully attended.
A rumour has been raised, no doubt by scmo
parties who desire to seize upon the representation of this
city, that Mr. Divett is to be appointed successor to the late
J. hey, Esq., the Clerk of the House of Commons. Our re-
. commendation is to the fiiends of Mr. Divett to be wary,
and not allow themselves to be tricked into any premises,
under any condicions whateyer.—Deronshire Chronicle of

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.
In the present number our scampish young friend,
Maurice 'Tierney, has a very narrow escape for his
life, after condemnation to death by a court-martial
fur breach of discipline induced by over-zeal to rout
the enemy. His career is, we anticipate, about to
take a very interesting turn. The notice of Leigh
Hunt's Autobiography is a very readable paper, doing
fair justice to that delightful writer and amiable man.
"Lady Alice Daventry ; or, the Night of Crime,"
is a tale of dark and terrible interest. We
have next an article devoted to Words-
worth's new poem "The Prelude," a work abounding
with instruction and elevated poetry, and, despite oc-
casional obscurities, well worthy of the fame of the
monarch of the Lake School. Jonathan Freke
Slingsby gives capital versions of some of the popular
chansons of Ft ance, among which are those vener-
able F eterans, "Malbroak," ofttimes hummed by Na-
poleon, and the Parisian favourite, "Au Clair de la
lune." We know of no translator who gives
a failicul version, yet with all the air of
original composition, more felicitously than
gentle Master Slingsby. " Elfinair," a legendary
ballad of fairyland, and the stanzas entitled " The
Railway," are well worthy of a place in the pages of
this sterling periodical. The opening chapters of "Grace
Kennedy" are written with power and natural feel
ing, and if the tale be similarly sustained throughout
it is likely to take a high rank among the navels of
domestic life. A clear and complete amount of in-
formation with regard to the origin and working of
the Encumbered Estates Court is embraced in an
article, which stamps a high value on the September
number of this magazine. We would direct particu-
lar attention to it, cordially uniting in the general opi-
nion expressed by the writer as to the great benefits
which will ultimately arise from the operations of this
long-needed successor, or rather superseder of "that
hoary vice, that grey iniquity," the Court of Chan-
cery. The few pages devoted to a consideration of
the modern French novelists have afforded us exceed-
ing pleasure by the truthfulness and clear-sightedness
which pervades them. Of Balzac, it is said, "Superior
to all the other writers of his country, he is a leader
among their errors. Capable of pourtraying, with
the exquisite simplicity of the most perfect art, every
phase and shade of character—a great dramatist and
powerful narrator—be has over the feelings of his
readers the same control which the musician exercises
on the strings or keys of his instrument. He holds
us for the time bounden slaves to the lamp of his
genius. His humour is playful and variable • we
laugh and sigh at his bidding. Alas ! that he should
have so often and so shamelessly employed these fair
and gracious gifts of his Maker in the service of vice
and seduction, and swelled Iris pages with a wit so
unpardonably gross, profane, and blasphemous." Of
Paul de Rock—" He is a modern Smollett, and a
Hogarth without his moral intention& We think,
however, that his readers must sometimes be re-
minded, while engaged with his pages, of one of the
discoveries of modern agriculture, namely, that it is
possible to manure too highly." Of Sue and Dumas
—" They recall, by their gaudy, exaggerated style,
the paintings of the revolutionary David, and like
him, they love to grind up their colours with blood.
And of George Sand—" This intellectual hermaphro-
dite exhibits in her works the frailties and weakness
of the woman combined with the vices of the man.
She plunges into great social questions and philsophic
disquisitions with the same confidence that she handles
a trim. con." Due praise is awarded to Charles de
Bernaud ; to Madame Reybaud, the captivating
writer of the " Annals of the Old Convents of Paris,"
and the brilliant depictor of the glowing landscapes
of the tropics; to Brisset, Berthoud, and Sandeau.
The following observations struck us as being parti-
cularly happy a--
" The genuine wit of the French must strike every
reader of their literature ; it is eminently compact and
keen ; compared with ours, it as the blade of a lancet to
the rusty, coarse-grained steel of a school.boy's bread-
and-cheese knife ; its meaning may travel from one
mind to another, by the airy conveyance of an intona-
tion, an interjection, a single word. It is playful, bril-
liant, intangible as the sunbeam, which we might as
well attempt to catch and shut up in an oak-box, as to
pack in the strong practical sounds of Saxon-English
French wit, or the delicate beauty of French sentiment—
they belong neither to our mind nor our language; they
shrink from our grasp; they grow pale and spiritless
when we attempt to embody them."
And, again, speaking of the novels of the modern
French school,—
" We cannot wonder at the nest with which they are
perused, for the writers, in very many instances, possess
great power; they hold at their command a passionate
and melting eloquence, an exquisite sensibility to grace
and beauty, the acute delicacy of the most vivid percep-
tions, and the resources of the most expressive of living
languages. Disguised and coloured by these precious
properties, for the last twenty years the novelists of
France have been laying before the reading world their
perverted notions on the laws of God and man, on the
subjects of right and wrong, of morality and immor-
tality; they have been endeavouring to excite our feel-
ings and enlist our sympathies in behalf of the woman,
Lien censer-rive of 45, who employs herself in the artistic
seduction of some handsome youth—in the unnatural
rivalry of mother and daughter for the-aff,ctions of one
man—in the betrayal at the same time of the erring,
confiding mistres,, and her ignorant hapless femme dc-
char bre—in the love of the high-born countess for some
intelligent peasant or mechanic. At other times, to give
an additional zest to the narrative, we are k, pt quiver-
ing through the whole of two volumes with the fear
that our interesting heroine may be unknowingly in-
volved in an intrigue with her own natural son; or, by
way of variety, the whole treasure of en innocent young
heart is lavished on some abominable criminal ; and
others contain scenes and passages with the mention of
which we dared not sully our pages. To deal rightly
with a great proportion of those books—so remarkable
fur perverted powers—we should possess Hugh Lati-
mer's heroic gift of plain speaking; and did we arraign
at the bar of critical justice, by their right names, the
sins to which those pages are dedicated, we can assure
the reader we should startle their ears by a very ugly
and ill-sounding nomenclature."
The essay on the character of the late Sir Robert
Peel is a masterly production. It is evidently the
offspring of a dispassionate and reflective mind, and
we make no hesitation in yielding our tribute of ad-
miration from the consideration that our own views of
the departed statesman are not altogether in accordance
with those of the gifted writer. On the great ques-
tion of the currency—if not on Catholic emancipation
and the corn-laws—we discern a similarity of opi-
nion to those of our own school, although the writer
has hovered about, not grappled with the subject, and is
cautious in pronouncing a decided judgment. Had Peel
been spared to his country, we have no doubt that he
would ere long have proved himself the reformer of
that impolitic and injurious monetary code of which
he was himself the mistaken though conscientious
originator. Whatever b e our opinions as to the ac-
curacy of the notions clearly and temperately ex-
pressed in these pages, the ability and high tone of
feeling manifested throughout them must be appre-
ciated by their perusers, no matter of what shade of
political feeling. To the concluding tribute to the
private excellences of the mighty dead who will not
heartily respond P—
" Of the private character of this eminent man there
is, there could be, but one opinion. It was, in the
highest degree, excellent. He was the light and the joy
of the domestic circle; and his charities found their
stealthy way to many an abode of suffering
and of anguish, where the artist lay upon the bed of
sickness, heart-broken and destitute; or, more unhappy
still, with a family around him pining for food. Often
has the man of letters, whose pen had been dipped in
gall against him, found in him, when overtaken by want
and woe, a munificent benefactor. Nor were those deeds
of mercy few and far betvvet n. It is our belief that an
appeal to his compassion, whether by friend or enemy,
never was made in vain; that neither his ear nor his
purse were ever closed to the tale of calamity, from
whomsoever it proceeded;' and that he was as simple and
unostentatious in the mode, as he was literal in the
measure of his princely charities. Doubtless all those
works of love returned largely into his own bosom; and
when he suffered most keenly under what he deemed the
detraction and malignity. of party hate, 'sweet must
have been the odour of their memory, and pleasant the
balm of their consolation!' "
