ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE OPERATIVE CONSER
VATIVE ASSOCIATION.

The fourth anniversary dinner of this flourishing associa-
tion took place on Wednesday last, at the Commercial Hotel,
Ashton. For some days previously, there had been a great
demand for tickets, and although every exertion was made
to accommodate as large a number as possible, the demand
was so great that 200 or 300 tickets might have been issued
beyond the number to which the stewards felt compelled to
restrict it. The dinner took place in the large room of the
Commercial, which is capable of accommodating about 180
persons. Tables were spread in an adjoining room for other
60 or 70; the total number of persons who sat down being
about 250. The decorations of the room were of the most
superb style. The upper end, and the whole length of each
side was festooned with white drapery, surmounted by ever-
greens and artificial flowers. On the side next the window,
the elegant banner presented to the association in 1836, by
the ladies of Ashton, was displayed, and covered a great
portion of the wall, from the floor to the ceiling. This
beautiful banner is divided into four compartments •, in two
of which various devices are emblazoned, including the arms
of the Earl of Stamford; in the third, is the representation
of the crown, the sceptre, and the bible, surmounted by the
inscription,—" For God. the King, and the country ;" on
the fourth is the inscription,—" Presented by the ladies of
Ashton-under-Lyne, to the Operative Conservative Asso-
ciation of that town, on the queen's birth-day, '1836." The
six large windows on the opposite side of the room were de-
corated with evergreens, and the window above
,the chair-
man's seat was beautifully festooned, and surmounted by
two small flags. The front of the gallery at the foot of the
room was studded with flowers and evergreens ; and the
three elegant chandeliers were similarly adorned. A bril-
liant flood of light was thrown all over the room, by the
numerous and fanciful arrangements of gas burners. At the
head, the letters V.R. stood prominent on each side of the
chair, and at the other end, there were two brilliant circles
of gas, divided into eight sectors by radii and rounded arcs.
Altogether, the decorations were of the most elegant de-
scription, and the effect produced was extremely pleasing.
Two long tables extended the length of the room, and were
crossed by a raised table at the head, at which sat the prin-
cipal guests. The chair was filled by E. L. Sidebotham,
Esq. Shepley Hall; on his right were J. Roby, Esq., of
Rochdale, Capt. Clarke, of Hyde, and Major Maclean, of
the 20th regiment; on his left were Colonel Thomas, M.P.,
and Captain Ainslie. Amongst the company, we also ob-
served John Brook, Esq., Staley Bridge, John Sidebotham,
Esq., of Hyde, Legh Richmond, Esq., High Steward to
the Earl of Stamford, A. Adshead, Esq., Staley Bridge,
John Mellor, Esq., Wm. Chapman, Esq., John Lees, Esq.,
Staley Bridge, Ed. Sidebotham, Esq., Staley Bridge, John
Armstrong, Esq., James Higginbottam, Edwd. Appleton,
Esq., of Staley Bridge. There were also present, Lieut.
Brook, Capt. Horn, Lieutenant Sharpe, and Capt. Murray,
all of the 20th regiment, A few minutes before six, the
Chairman and the distinguished guests entered the room,
and were saluted by one hearty round of cheers. The Vice-
Presidents were Thomas Slack, Esq., and Mr. Joshua Lin-
gard, of Ashton. Sir F. Burdett was fully expected to be
present, but owing probably to illness, he was prevented
from attending.
The dinner comprised a great variety of tasteful and sub-
stantial dishes, embracing a great quantity of game. It was
served up in a style highly creditable to Mrs. Newton, the
proprietress of the Commercial Hotel. The wines were of
first-rate quality. A party of glee-singers, consisting of
Messrs. Grimshaw, (of Manchester), Newton, Brierly, and
Newton, were in attendance, and at intervals favoured the
company with some lively airs. Several very eloquent
speeches were delivered during the evening.—Manchester
Courier.

LADY LYTTON BULWER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST

30, bis, Rue de Rivoli, Paris, Oct.
Sir,—Disagreeable as it is to me to have my name dragged
before the public, it is something more than disagreeable to
have my life lied away. All other injuries as a woman I have
been compelled to submit to ; but, for my children's sake, I
will not tamely submit to be grossly vilified and defamed in
newspapers. In one of your journals of last week there was
a paragraph from your Paris correspondent purporting to be
a description of a scene that had taken place at Lady Ayl-
mer's, wherein I was described in acting like a poissarde
towards Mr. Henry Lytton Bulwer. Now, I have no doubt
you will be as much surprised (as I was to see such a false-
hood in your very respectable journal) when I tell you that
no such scene ever took place, inasmuch as Mr. Henry Bul-
wer was not, nor ever has been, at Lady Aylmer's since I
have been at Paris, as her Ladyship, with great delicacy of
feeling, avoided asking him on my account, though I can
have no possible objection to meet any member of the Bul-
wer family, I never having injured them, however much
they may have injured me. I know it is their object, if
possible, to hunt me from society ; but surely they might
resort to more honourable and gentlemanlike stratagems
than that of propagating gross falsehoods of me through the
medium of the public press. When the above alluded to
paragraph appeared in the Morning Post, I was advised by
all my friends here to take no notice of so palpable a mis-
statement ; but having this day received letters from England,
telling me that it had been repeated more violently, and with
greater exaggerations, in the Court Journal of the 19th, I
am compelled to call upon you to publish this contradiction
of so cruel a calumny in the columns of your next paper,
which I am sure is conducted on principles of too much jus-
tice to wilfully contribute to the unmanly oppression of a
persecuted woman. Knowing, as I do, the contemptible
source from which the Court Journal got its malicious false-
hoods, I cannot degrade myself by thinking it worth while
to contradict anything it may, in the plenitude of its in-
sanity, think fit to pander to the profligate, and amuse the
public with. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient
servant, ROSINA LYTTON 13ULWER.
P.S. I think it further right to state that I have never yet
met Mr. Henry Bulwer in any society in Paris, so could not
ever have had an opportunity of acting as described.

COLONEL PASLEY'S OPERATIONS AGAINST THE
ROYAL GEORGE.

(From the Morning Herald.)
The strong tides, co-operating with the unsettled weather
of last week, have materially interfered with the successful
progress of these interesting operations. Nevertheless, some-
thing has been done almost every day. A huge breast hook,
large fragments of timbers, much planking, both interior and
exterior, aiders, knees, and various other items, have been
daily fished up, and now form a high pile in the dockyard.
No more guns, however, have been lately got hold of, but on
Tuesday last a few human bones were found, and near them
a silk handkerchief, of a rusty black colour, and not rotten,
but still strong enough to bear being washed !
This conservative power of mud, or clay, has also been
most curiously exemplified in the case of vegetable fibre, by
a portion of a cable lately brought up from the wreck of the
Royal George. A length of junk, as it is called, consisting
of a piece of a cable 23 inches in circumference and about 8
feet long, was recovered, and being unlaid, and the yarns
taken out, they were found to be so good that a short piece
of one of them bore a weight of 1931b5, and broke only with'
a weight of 1951b5. The following very curious experiment
was then tried :

A piece of cablet, or rope, measuring two inches and a half
in circumference, was made out of the yarns from one of the
strands taken from the old junk of the Royal George, and
marked No. .1 ; another cablet, also of two inches and a half,
and twenty-thread yarn, spun and tarred in 1838, was made,
No. 2 ; and a third, of the same dimensions and number of
yarns, spun and tarred according to the old method, in 1830,
No. 3. These three cablets were then exposed to the usual
test of strength by weights in the dockyard, when, to the
great astonishment of every one, the following were the re-
sults :

No. 1. Made from the old junk saved from the
Royal George, after being 57 years under. the
mud, bore a weight of
No. 2. Spun and tarred in 1838
No. 3. Spun and tarred in 1830

'NTELLECTUAL RESOURCES OF LONDON,

There are in the metropolis no less than 41 societies de-
voted to scientific, literary, and collateral pursuits, meeting
periodically during the session, which, with the great majority,
commences in November and terminates in June, and these
distinct from the literary and scientific institutions, of which
there is oae in every considerable district. The Royal
Society, the parent of the whole, founded in 1663, extends
to every department of natural knowledge, but so numerous
are the ramifications which have sprung from it that its
attention is now restricted to the more abstract departments
of each. For the study of antiquities there are two—the
Society of Antiquaries, founded in 1717, for the study of
antiquities of this kingdom; and the Numismatic Society, a
flourishing association, which, as its name imports, is con-
fined to coins and medals. For natural history there are
eight ;—The Linnrean Society, alike for the objects of botanical
and zoological investigation ; in zoology two, the Zoological
and Entomological Societies ; and for horticulture and botany
five—viz., the Horticultural, Royal Botanic, Metropolitan,
and Botanical Societies, and the Royal Society of Horticul-
ture, four of which hold periodic public exhibitions. For
astronomy there are two—viz., the Royal Astronomical and
the Uranian Societies ; and for objects of peculiar or specific
investigation there are the Mathematical, Metropological,
and Electrical Societies. The Society of Arts, which stands
alone prominent for the encouragement of the useful arts,
was founded in 1754, and objects formerly embraced specially
by it are now comprehended in the more exclusive exertions
of the institutes of British Architects and Civil Engineers,
and the Architectural Society. The Geographical and the
Geological Societies are, as their names import, addressed to
the study of the external characteristics and the structure of
the earth. One body only, the Royal Society of Litera-
ture, is exclusively devoted to objects of literary research ;
the Royal Asiatic Society takes the wide and extensive range
of the science, language, and literature of the eastern con-
tinent ; and the Statistical Society, dealing with facts, em-
braces the details of all science where numbers are concerned.
At the Royal, London, and United Service Institutions the
lectures and convereaziones are of a miscellaneous character,
taking the wide range of literature and science. The English
Agricultural Society, having also scientific objects, meets
periodically in London ; and the Camden Society may be
added to the list, as, although it does not hold periodic meet-
ings, it advances literature by the choiceness of its publica-
tions. Devoted to the reading of papers and to practical
discussions on medical subjects there are eight—viz., the
Medico-Chirurgical, the London and the Westminster,
Medical, the Physical, Hunterian, Harveyian, Phrenological,
and Medico-Botanical Societies. There are also three
societies devoted to conversation on the fine arts—viz., the
Graphic, the Amateurs, and the Artists' Societies. The
total numbers of meeting occupied by these societies, dis-
tributed over the session of 35 weeks, is 623, making the
average of 18 in a week, or three each evening. The number of
members in the last session is estimated as about 17,000, but
the names of many of these are enrolled in more societies
than one. The total amount of the incomes or the sums
raised last year for scientific objects was nearly £41,000, and
the funded properties possessed by these societies, estimated
last June, was £81,500. Only four —viz., the Royal,
Antiquarian, Geological, and Astronomical Societies, receive
aid from government in public accommodation ; and one
only, the Geographical Society, 'is assisted by grants from the
same source, in the furtherance of its objects. There are
12 Mechanic Literary and Scientific Institutions in the im-
mediate circle of the metropolis, which average 4,500 mem-
bers, and an income of £7,500. Unaided, therefore, by
government, the total annual amount raised for the diffusion
of literary and scientific knowledge in the metropolis may be
estimated at little less than X 50,000, in addition to the interests
derived from an invested property of about £BO,OOO.—
Morning Herald.

THE ROYAL GEORGE.—On Wednesday last, the 30th ult.
a gentleman of the name of Vansittart descended to the spot
where the Royal George is now lying. He describes the
wreck to be enveloped in entire darkness, and to be com-
pletely imbedded in mud. This account fully corroborates
the statements of the divers ; and it is to be hoped that some
means may be suggested by which light could be diffused be-
low. It is true that Mr. Vansittart descended when the waves
on the surface of the sea were undulating to a height of 30 or
40 feet, and it could not, therefore, be expected that he would
see much under such circumstances. But the divers assert,
that even on the brightest days of summer, when the sea is
perfectly calm, they can scarcely see an inch before them.
Lanterns have been tried, but to no purpose. A vast expense
would be saved, not only as respects the Royal George, but
also with reference to future wrecks, if some means could be
devised for introducing the light required.—Times,

SELECT EXTRACTS.

THE DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH.—It was her temper
that involved her in lawsuits with her own children. Her
eldest grandson, Robert Earl of Sutherland,' died before he
had forfeited her favour. Charles was no sooner elevated
to his father's dignity, than she openly quarrelled with, and
in the Court of Chancery pleaded her own cause against him.
She accused him of pawning one by one the diamonds in the
famous Baldric of the great Marlborough's sword, and his
extravagance gave point to the charge : yet John, her young-
est grandson, who was no less profligate, retained her favour
in the midst of his excesses. Her grand-daughter, Lady
Anne Egerton, was as proud as the Duchess herself, and no
less fiery ; on some quarrel between them, the Duchess of
Marlborough had Lady Anne's picture daubed with black,
and over it this inscription—" She is much blacker within?'
With her the ruling passion was strong even against death.
About four years before her demise, the Duchess was at-
tacked by a dangerous disease, and had lain a great while ill,
without speaking : her physician, believing her case very
bad, said " she must be blistered or she will die." Her
Grace, who had listened with attention, called out " I wont
be blistered, and I wont die !" She kept her word.— Coun-
tess of Huntingdon's Life and Times, 2 cols.
THE GOAT IN NORWAY AND IN SOUTH AFRICA.--Two
recent travellers, in opposite quarters of the globe, thus
speak of the value to man of this most economical animal.
Mr. Laing (" Journal of a Residence in Norway ") ob-
serves :—" Goats seem a favourite kind of stock in Norway,
and on every farm they appear touch more numerous than
sheep. The hills have no pasture for the latter, no heath or
rough grass ; what is not bare rock is bush or tree. The
goat will eat and thrive on the shoots of the dwarf birch,
beech, and young fir ' • the sheep will not, and in winter it
requires some hay. The goat then gets a bundle of dried
leaves and shoots of the beach, which cost only the trouble
of collecting. and drying them. Every farm house at this
season (August) is surrounded with bundles of these withered
branches and leaves-of beech tied together, and stuck upon
poles to dry. The goat, too, gives some milk in winter,
when that of cows is scarce, and that little may bear to be
increased with water better than any other milk." Sir James
Alexander, who undertook an expedition into the interior of
Africa on account of the Geographical Society, says—" To
an African traveller goats are invaluable ; they can accom-
modate him everywhere, and live where cattle would pine
away and die ; though the cattle of South Africa are surely
the most .hardy and enduring in the world. They eat the
tops of many bushes, but not so many as the goats, each of
which gives nearly as much milk as a Namaqua cow, and of
much richer quality. The milk I obtained from my four or
five milch goats (though at times, when we were hard pressed
for water, it only amounted to a pint, morning and evening,
amongst them) was a source of great comfort and support."
Mr. Laing says—" There is a right way to do everything ;
even, it seems, to milk a goat. You should turn its head
towards you, put your left arm over its • back, and milk it
with both hands in that position."
THE RAILWAY LABOURER.—The navigator appears to
belong to no country ; he wanders from one public work to
another,—now alone, then with a party of two or three ; and
as long as he has sixpence in his pocket seems content,
hut sets so little value on the earnings of his slavish em-
ployment as never to be at ease unless in squandering then],
although well paid for his labour; go where he will he finds
some of his comrades whom he has met in some part of
England before, and makes inquiries as to their Mode of liv-
ing, the wages they were paid since they last met, &c. His
attire is peculiar ; on his head he wears a kind of white felt
hat, the brim of which is turned up all round, and generally
a tobacco pipe is stuck in the band, which is of some glaring
colour ; a velveteen shooting jacket with white buttons, a
scarlet plush waistcoat of large dimensions, with little black
spots on it, sometimes a bright coloured neckerchief round
his neck, and sometimes nothing at all: inexpressibles of
corduroy retained in their position by a leather strap round
the waist, and tied and buttoned at the knee ; sometimes
white stockings or grey worsted encirling most robust knees,
and high-laced boots of strong build, complete his dress. His
"dicky"- or small smock frock, is slung, when he travels, at
his back, and by the arms in front ; in this be carries what-
ever else he has in the world, except the clothes he wears. In
some things he makes an attempt at taste—in the dressing of
the hair, by wearing one or more ringlets on each side of his
face, upon which great value is placed. He knows no other
pleasure or domestic comfort than is afforded in a public-
house or beer-shop, brawling or drinking with his companions
after the toils of the day.—Gloucestershire Chronicle.
THE LUNAR SOCIETY. —WATT AND THE COPYING
PRESS.—Birmingham, when Mr. Watt went to establish
himself at Soho, reckoned among the inhabitants' of the
neighbourhood, Priestley, whose name is universally known ;
Darwin, the celebrated author of the Zoonomia, and of a
poem " The Loves of the Plants ;" Withering, a physician
and distinguished botanist; Keir, a chemist, well known by
the notes appended to his translation of Macquer, and by an
interesting memoir on the crystallization of glass ; Galton,
to whom we are indebted for an elementary treatise on
ornithology ; and Edgeworth, the author of several esteemed
works, and father of the celebrated Maria Edgeworth. These
scientific and literary men speedily became the friends of the
distinguished mechanist, and most of them united in forming
with him and Mr. Boulton, an association under the name of
" The Lunar Society." This fantastic title has given rise
to various mistakes; but it imported nothing more than that
the night of meeting was that of the full moon, a time selected
in order that the members might comfortably reach their
several homes. Every meeting of the Lunar Society gave
fresh occasion to remark the uncommon fertility of inven-
tion with which Watt was endowed. " I have thought,"
observed Dr.. Darwin one evening, " of a kind of double
pen, a pen with two points, by which one might write the
same thing twice over at the same time, and thus supply
himself at once with the original and with the copy."—` I
hope," replied Watt, almost immediately, "to discover a
better method for accomplishing the same object. I will
mature my ideas to night, and communicate them to you to-
morrow." The Copying Press was invented the next day ;
and even a small model was prepared, ready to show its
powers. This most useful instrument, now so generally
adopted in all the offices and counting-rooms in England,
has recently received some slight modifications, of which
various artists have assumed the credit to themselves • but I
can truly affirm, that the present form was described and
delineated as early as the year 1780, in the patent of our
associate.—Arayo's Memoir of Watt.
THOUGHTS ON A NEW YEAR'S. DAY.—How painful is it
to reflect on the breaches which the departed year has made
in the friendly, if not in the family circle 1 He must have a
limited number of friends, indeed, who can say he has lost
none of them during the year which has followed its prede-
cessors into the eternity that is past. If there should be a
few hermits or misanthropes in the world who have no friends
to lose, there are thousands and tens of thousands of others,
from whom, during the lapse of the past twelve months, many
of those they affectionately regarded, have been snatched away
by the hand of death. And what can more deeply wound
the susceptible heart, than the loss of those it highly prized,
and with whom it held delightful companionship ? Nothing
surely. The annals of human nature furnish us with count-
less instances of individuals whose minds were so powerfully
affected at their separation by death from those they loved,
that they did not long survive the shock, but followed them
in a few months, in some cases in a few weeks, to the man-
sions of mortality. It were strange indeed if man, with all
his rationality and all his lofty conceptions of what he ought
to be, did not feel acutely while ruminating on the departure
to another world of those he loved and esteemed in the pre-
sent, when the more savage of the'brute creation set him the
example. The instances are innumerable in which the lower
animals, of almost every species, suffer so severely when de-
prived of their offspring, or when separated from others of
their kind with which they were wont to associate, as to die
very soon thereafter under the influence of feelings similar to
those which break the human heart. A melancholy recollec-
tion of those departed ones whom we once numbered among
our friends will frequently obtrude' itself on the minds of
those addicted to habits of reflection, and possessing in their
bosom a drop of the milk of human kindness ; but the com-
mencement of a new year is a season peculiarly adapted, for
many reasons, for feeling those melancholy emotions with
peculiar force.—Walks and Wanderings in the World of
Literature. by the Author of " The Great Metropolis."
UTILITY OF STONEY.—Philosophers may reason, and di-
vines may declaim as much as they please respecting the
vanity and worthlessness of money • I must take the liberty
of differing from them. Abstractly speaking, I admit the
circulating medium is despicable enough; but though this
be true, and though, I hope, I am the last man in the world
that would do any dishonourable action to gain money, yet
it is not to be denied that it is a remarkably useful commo-
dity. It is a necessary evil ; it smooths the rugged path of
life ; it enables a man to walk the public thoroughfares more
consequentially ; to hold his head more erect in society than
he could otherwise do ; in a word, money works miracles.—
Walks and Wanderings in the World of Literature by the
Author of " The Great Metropolis."
A BANK IN CAlRO.—After the siesta, the viceroy trans-
acted the usual daily business with Tami Bey, and opened
the despatches of the first courier, of whom two are sent off
to him every day, one from Alexandria, and one from Cairo.
He sent for me as soon as their affairs were settled. "Do
you know," said he as I entered, " I have just been issuing
a decree for a bank in Cairo, for the capital of which I have
advanced a million of Spanish dollars; and to this fund I
mean to add all the property reserved for my children still
under age. This bank will, according to the custom of the
country, lend money at twelve per cent., and pay ten per
cent. for sums borrowed. I hope soon to witness the good
effects of this measure : enterprising men will obtain the
means of carrying on their speculations, and the people will
perhaps unlearn their stupid habit of hiding every part they
can lay by. No one under me need fear for the security of
property honestly come by; and they will find out, I trust,
that it is better to use it than to allow it to lie dead., A
man," he continued, " died here lately, who had held a petty
office, and was scarcely considered in tolerable circumstances,
yet he left behind him 60,000 gazi, in ready money. I should
never have heard any thing of it, if the children had not quar-
relled about the inheritance, and one of them appealed to
me. I sent for them, and advised them to settle their dis-
pute as fast as possible, telling them if they got into the cadi's
hands, it would be worse for them all."—Letter of Prince
I'uckler Muskan.
THE TURKEY.—For all the purposes of domestic use, the
turkey is one of the most important fowls. According to
Buffon and others, there is but one species; and, in this
country, there are only three varieties—ethe capper, the white,
and the Norfolk black. The first has long been held in great
esteem ; the second is remarkable for its delicate whiteness,
contrasted with its red head ; and the third, having been
crossed with the large Virginian turkey, is now consi-
dered our finest breed. The wild turkey, from which the
domestic breeds are derived, is a native of America, where it
may still be found in the remoter parts of the north, though
the numbers are fast diminishing ; and it will probably be-
come, at no distant period, extinct, as the dodo has in the
African islands, and the cock of the woods, as well as the
bustard in Britain. The bird was probably introduced into
this country from Spain, soon after the discovery of America;
since Tusser, who lived in the reign of Henry VII., repre-
sents it AS a common dish, together with pig, goose, and ca-
pon. The turkey did not reach France quite so early ; the
first iwtclligence we have of it in that country being at the
nuptial feast of Charles IX., in the year 1570. They have
since been domesticated throughout the civilized world, in
every climate, although said not to exceed equally on the
barren sands of Africa. They were first called the Indian
cock and hen, because brought from the West Indies. It is
difficult to ascertain the etymology of their present name. It
appears to have been intended as a satire upon the solemn
strut of the bird, which might appear to give it a resemblance
to the pompous stride of a Turk. Most assuredly it did not
arise from the native place of the bird, which has no con-
nexion with eastern Europe or Asia. To suppose the bird
meleagris, mentioned by the Greek writers, to have been the
turkey, is quite a mistake. When discovered in America,
they were seen both in a wild and domestic state. They
were of a very large size ; and although some of the Spaniards
declare them to have been of excellent quality, there is a tra-
dition, as old as the time of the buccaneers, that they were
not worth powder and shot. Those living wild in America
appear quite bla6k ; but, on close inspection, it will be found
that each feather 'is waved with a greyish-brown colour. In
a state of nature, they are said to parade in flocks of five
hundred, and even five thousand, feeding, in general, where
abundance of nettles are to be found, the seed of which is
their common food : they also feed upon a small red acorn,
which, in the warm and fertile parts of America, is ripe in
March, when the turkeys become so fat as to be unable to
fly more than a few hundred yards, and are then soon run
down by dogs and horsemen. They roost upon the highest
trees, and are very easily shot or otherwise destroyed, being
a heedless and stupid bird. Since the planting and cultiva-
tion of such extensive tracts in America, the wild breed of
turkeys has been driven into the uncultivated regions, and
has long since become very rare. Turkeys, in a state of na-
ture, weigh from 20, 30, 40, to 601b5.---The Poultry Yard.
