SWANSEA HARBOUR TRUST. The nsnal Monthly Meeting of the Harbonr Trustees was held at the Townhall on Monday. The following Trustees were present:—The Mayor in the Chair, Mr. H. Bath, Mr. L. W. Dillwyn, Mr. L. LI. Dillwrg Mr. Essery, Mr. D. Francis, Mr. Christopher James, Mr. Evan James, Mr. Elias Jenkins, Mr. C. R. Jones, Mr. W. Martin, Mr. Richardson, Mr. C. H. Smith Mr. W H Smith, Mr. J. J. Strick, Mr. Thomas Walters, and Mr. J. H. Vivian, M P. The MAYOR, having read over the minutes of the two last meet- ings, stated, that the first business of that meeting was the election of a Proprietary Trustee, vice Mr. Logan, who has retired. Mr. H. BATH briefly proposed Mr James Pooley, agent to Messrs. Williams, Foster, and Co. He was not much known observed Mr. Bath, being a stranger in this neigbbourhood, but from bis business habits, was well calculated to fill the office. Mr. THOMAS WALTERS seconded the nomination. Mr. C H. SMITH proposed Mr. Charles Tennant, of Cadoxton, M very eligibl- person to succeed to the vacant office. Mr. AUBREY seconded the nomination of Mr. Tennant and would briefly state his reasons for doing so. He had understood, when Mr. Tennant resigned the trusteeship as the chief agent of the Brit ton-ferry estate, that Mr. Benson, thinking it to be ne- cessary and of some importance, that some gentleman having an interest on the eastern side should be a Trustee, bad consented to withdraw Mr. Logan's name from the Trust, with the understand- ing that Mr. Tennant should succeed him. The next reason he had for seconding the nomination was, because a great proportion of the income of the Harbour Trust was received from Port Tennant; and the third was, that Mr. Tennant was possessed of considerable properly in the neighbourhood, and had great interest in the harbour. Those were the three reasons which induced him to support Mr. Tennant. He also thought that, when the meeting would come to the election, it would be necessary for Mr Pooley to produce his qualification. Mr. H. BATH observed, that he was not aware whether Mr. Pooley was qualified or not. When he last saw Mr. Pooley, be r expected his qualification but he ( Mr. B.) did not know whether it had been received. Mr. L. W. DILLWYN said. that before he was aware of the vacancy. Mr. Michael Williams had solicited his vote on behalf of Mr. Pooley. He said that the late Mr. Michael Williams, the former agent to the Company, was a Trustee, and expressed a « lir-n- should be elected on the same principle as Mr. M. Williams was. He also said ttiat Mr. Pooley was qualified. On those grounds he (Mr. D.) promised his vote. Mr. L. LL. DILLWYN said, that he was at the last meeting, but did not understand that the Trustees, who were then present had made any promise, or given any pledge, to vote for Mr. Tennant. If such h-d been proposed, he (Mr D.) would have objected to such a course. Mr VIVIAN was present at the last meeting, but did not think any promise had been made to elect Mr. Tennant, but he had understood, when Mr. Tennant resigned as chief agent to the Britton ferrv estate, that he was desirous of being elected on his own account. Mr. AUBREY explained. He bad not said that the Gentlemen present had pledged themselves, but he understood there was an understanding that Mr. Tennant should be elected. He (Mr. A.) had considered himself pledged. Mr. BATH said that, if elected, Mr. Pooley would qualify at the next meeting. Mr. AUBREY thought him to be ineligible. Mr. T WALTERS was of opinion that the Trustees had no right to enter upon the question of Mr Poolev's qualification at that meeting. Should it turn out that he was not qualified, they could proceed to another election at the next meeting. With regard to representing property, he (Mr. W.) thought the Iwo candidates were equally eligible. Mr. Pooley represented the great interes's of Williams, Foster, and Co., while Mr Tennant was interested in the harbour, from the possession of considerable property. The Proprietary Trustees then divided :— r t j For Mr. Pooley. For Mr. Tennant. Mr. C. R. Jones, Mr. C. Smith, Mr. C. James, Mr. R. Aubrey, Mr. T. Walters, Mr. Vivian, M.P. Mr. E. Jenkins, Mr. Richardson, Mr. H. Bath, Mr. L. W. Dillwyn, Mr. L. Ll. Dillwtn, Mr. W. Martin, Mr. D. Francis, Mr. E. James, Mr. J. J, Strick. Mr. Pooley was then declared elected. The MAYOR then read a report prepared by the Harboor- master, in obedience to the directions of the Trustees, relative to the state of the Port Teunant channel. Mr. VIVIAN then entered into several details relative to the proceedings of the Committee of Works. He did not know whe- ther the Committee presented a report of their proceedings successively at each monthly meeting of the Trust, but be thought they ought to do so. That Committee had met two or three times since the last monthly meeting. On the last oc- casion, they look into consideration the propriety of removing the banks at each end of the bridge over tb<-eut. soas to allow a free water way for the stream through the sides. At present the ground was so high at the sides as to throw the stream to the Ce~AAt' "ie. "*visi,i°n would be carried on the middle arch. The Committee therefore came to a decision to remo'e the banks, and adteru.edforten(ters lor the removal ol the earth, and also/or masonry to protect the sides of the cut the land on each side lieins the property ol the Trust, hey thought that course desirable There were two tenders re- ceived, ilnll that of Mr. Burrows was accepted. There were 20,000 lards to be removed, the removal of which had been con- tracted for at Is. per yard. The iu-^nnry bad been divide! be- tweeit three cc) it tractor. Mr. R,cll.,rd" tiall the part above the bridge, and Me-srs. Rees and Kenoden other portions. They bad conlraded to do the work at 21. per toot. Tlie whole ex- pense would be 2,5001. That would complete the embankment as far as the property of the Tr,„i extended, :.ad would open a free water "ay. One great ad vantage niuaui.raetiii<r wj,i, yr. R.ir- rows was. that he had the trams, Sic.. -tread, hud down, which was also of advantage to the parties who had entered into con- tra 1 for lie masonry. Mr. Vivian also informed the meeting that the lender of Mr. Crane for the mooring posts, at 4/. 10s. tid per ton. hid been accepted. Mr. SMtTH then moved that the Treasurer I»:j directed to pay L. W. Dill vyn, Esq. the sum ol 2,Z(>0/. being the purchase- money for Mr. Dill wyn's intere-l i ■> the lands and premises at the Pottery Wharf, required by ibe Tiu^tees for the purposes of the Aot, and bat such sum be paid upon the execution of the con «eyaoce/•<>'« Mr. Dillwyn lu the Harbour Trustees. I Mr. VIVIAN seconded ttle resolution, which WAS carried. 1 Mr. SMITH said that the conveyance was ready, but aot deli- vered to Mr Dillwyn's solicitor. Mr. THOMA" THOMAS begged, as a Trustee, to ask Mr. Smith what had become of the conveyance prepared by him (Mr. Thomas) ? f J Mr. SMITH said there were some objections to that conveyance. The MAYOR then read a statement of the Finances of the Trust, and said that Mr. Stroud had recommended them to borrow 12,0001. A letter was then read from a party offering to lend 6,0001. After a conversation between Mr SMITH and Mr. C. JAMES, rela- tive to the rate of interest, it was resolved, That the Treasurer be directed to borrow for the purposes of the Trustees the sum of G,OOOI,. in addition to the sums already borrowed." On Mr. William Stroud's application for a cheque for the amount of Income Tax, it was resolved, That a cheque for 881. 8s. 8d., to pay the Income Tax for the year ending April, 1843, be given Mr. Stroud." A letter was then read from Mr. A. Murray, applying for com- pensation for injury done to Lord Jersey's land by the Trust. All the gentlemen present were of opinion that the land was rather improved than injured However, Mr. SMITH moved. That Mr. Hall inform Mr. Adam Murray, that the Harbour Trustees are prepared to make satisfaction for any injuries that may be done by the deposit (if gravel, sand, or rubbish on the banks of the river, on Lord Jersey's land, near Llysnewydd." JUr. VIVIAN then observed, that in his opinion more power was given to the Committee of Works than should be given to any Committee. He referred more particularly to their decision to build the bridge with one arch. instead of three. The MAYOR and Mr. SMITH said, that decision was agreed to at a general meeting of the Trustees Mr. Smith also contended that this Committee was the only one which, by its activity and energy, had done any good to Swansea. Mr. AUBREY No, no. You mean to say that this is the only Committee of which you were a member. (Laughter.) After some further conversation, the meeting separated.

ROBBERIES ON THE SWANSEA RACE- COURSE. After the conclusion of the SwMsea Races, on Thursday evening last, it appears that sbveral characters, principally "Neath Men," entered into a conspiracy to make a general crusade against the property of the different pub- licans, who kept booths on the Race-course for the sale of refreshments, &c.—Late on Thursday night, several of the Rural police went to the Course, and secured four prisoners the others were subsequently taken into custody. The Magis- trates (W. I.Jones, J. D. Berrington, L LI, Dillwyn, Esqrs., and the Rev. S. Davies), were engaged during a great part of Monday in invesligating the charges against them. The pri- soners were, John Thornm, William Morgan, George Jones, Wm. Isaac, alias" Morally," and Watkin Thomas. Sarah IV hite, and her son, Robert White, of Neath, were also charged with receiving part of the stolen property. The first witness was Wm. Williams, of Swansea, victualler. who stated that he kept a booth, for the sale of spirits, refresh- ments, &c., at the Races, which took place on Wednesday and Thursday last. On Wednesday, George Jones, who it ap- peared was the only Swansea man among the prisoners, and knew witness well, very considerately advised him to be very vigilant and cautions with regard to his booth, as several bail fellows from Neath were on the Course, who, prisoner per- i suaded witness, were bent upon mischief," intending, when opportunity offered, of making not a particle of distinction between meum and tuam, in the disposal of beer, spirits, &c. Moreover, in addition to his kind advice, he offered witness his assistance, and told him not to mind," as he would pro- tect the back of the booth, provided witness's man would look after" the front. Witness, placing implicit confidence in the prisoner's promises, told him that, being a Swansea man, he would accept of his services. He accordingly gave him a good supper, and, being tired after the day's labour, soon afterwards went to sleep on a kind of bed, placed on a table in the booth, leaving the trusty George Jones in charge of the booth. Previous to leaving, witness placed a jar, containing a quart of brandy, and other spirits, under the table on which he lay. George Jones assisted in placing them there, which was done with a view of protecting them. Witness's little girl, who lay on the table, observed Jones remove the cask from under the table, but thinking him to be a friend, made no observation. In the course of an hour afterwards, George Jones called to Danifl Evans (witness's man), who watched the front of the booth, went out to him, and engaged him in conversation for about a quarter of an hour, during which witness heard a noise at the back of the booth, and on looking around, perceived that the jar of brandy had been carried away. He was afraid to say much about it, as several of the prisoners were near the booth, but George Jones, when ap- prised of the robbery, said, "Yon d—d blackguard, 'tis a shame to rob a poor man like this." Morally, Jones, Watkin Thomas, and others, came to the booth, when one of them said, "Give us a quart a-piece of beer, or money to buy some." Witness said he would not, and added, I am not afraid of you in the day, as I know who you are." One of them said, D—n your eyes, I will break your things for you." One of them then pushed the other against the table, which was thereby upset, and several glass articles broken. They then left, and witness was not troubled by them until eight or nine o'clock on Thursday night, when he, together with others, were engaged in packing up their goods, to return home to Swansea. The prisoners, and several others, were lurking about the booth at that time. George Jones entered at the back, and went round the booth, trying each cask, to ascertain whether it was empty or otherwise. They were all empty, with the exception of one, which contained water. George Jones rolled the latter away for a dozen yards, when witness lost sight of him. When he went to the Race-course on the following day, Gregory, the porter, delivered the cask to him which had been rolled away by Jones. It was worth 5s.; the brandy was worth 8s., and the jar Is. Witness said nothing to the prisoner at the time he took away the cask, being afraid, as he had money in his possession, that he might be robbed by Jones and others. Soon afterwards, witness and others who assisted him, placed his jars of spirits and other things on two carts, which had been procured to convey home the goods, and as the carts were leaving the Course, several persons, among whom were some of the prisoners, came up. Watkin Thomas extinguished the candle held by witness's wife. Jones took a hamper from the cart, but finding it was not very heavy, he threw it down, when several of the glasses, bottles, &c., which it contained, were broken. Witness iden- tified some of the prisoners before the light had been put out. Others laid hold of witness's daughter, and rifled her pockets, to ascertain if she had any money. They also took away a basket containing glass, cloths, and various articles, which she held in her band. [Witness produced the glass, &c., which was not broken]. He soon afterwards left the ground for Swansea. The prisoner, Watkin Thomas, asked the witness what time lie saw him in the company of George Jones?-Witness an- swered, that he was positive he observed htm at the time the candle was blown out. Several other questions of no importance were put to the witness by the prisoners. Richard Gregory stated that he was a porter, and resided at Swansea. He remained on the Race-course until a late hour on Thursday night. About twelve o'clock that night he found a cask, containing water, near the tanal, and about forty yards' distance from Mr. Williams's booth. The cask was given to Mr. Williams, who said it was his. Jennet Williams, a sharp and interesting little girl, about twelve years of age, after being examined as to the nature of an oath, was sworn, and said, that she remained in the booth during the whole of Wednesday night. She rested with her father, on a bed which hàd been placed on a table in the booth. Witness saw Ge«Mte Jones remove the jar from under the table, and plaee it near the sail at the back of the booth. It was near enough to be reached by any person outside the booth. Witness, thinking George Jones assisted her father and that he did what was right, did not speak or awake her father. George Jones cross-examined the witness:—There were no men in the booth but my father and yourself. Nu drunken man came m. Stephen Owen said, that he went from another booth to Williams?,on the night in question, when he observed several persons throwing hampers, &c., from the cart. Mr. Williams addressed them in Welsh, and told them that he was a poor man like themselves, and had a large family to bring up. They left soon afterwards. Witness identified Jones, Watkin Thomas, and Isaac. When the prisoners were asked what they had to say, after being cautioned, Jones said that he was very tipsy, and did not know what he was about, but was sorry if he did anything wrong.—Thomas declined making any statement. The witness, Richard Gregory, was then re-called to prove the charge against the other prisoners of having stolen a cask of beer and other articles. Witrass said, that when the cart was loading, the prisoner, Thomas, dragged him from the cart, while a man in a smock frock threw them down a cask of beer, which was rolled off by George J"nes, and two or three others. The prisoner, W. Alorgat), was behind the cart, but he was not the man in th« frock who took down the cask. -no "u" Eliza Edwards stated that she attended the races for the purpose of attending upon the customers of Mr. Cummins, of the Wheat Sheaf, in this town, who had a booth on the Cotir-e. When on the point of returning home with two baskets, one of which contained glass, and the other table- cloths, a shirt, a merino gown belonging to witness, and various other articles, two men came towerds her and kicked the lantern which had been placed on the giouud in the booth, thereby extinguishing the light. They then made away with the baskets and their contents. George Jones asked witness to accompany him in search of the basket. Edward Gregory was then sworn, and stated that he took charge of Mr. Cummins's booth, and when returning home on Thursday night, he identified the prisoner John Thomas who pulled the basket from Eliza Edwards's hand while Wm. Isaac held her down by pulling at the other basket. This took place upon the light being extinguished. Witness followed John Thomas, and struck him across the back with his walking stick [producing a large unhewn pole] until he fell, and let the basket go from his hand. William Isaac then came up. Witness knocked him down also, and was then knocked down himself. A scuffle ensued, when four or five men got upon witness, who was on tire ground. He however, managed to extricate himself trona them, and ran towards the canal. After the usual caution had been eiven by Col. Jones Thomas said, "I know no more about the matter than the dead in the grave." The otheis declined saying anything. The charge against Sarah White and Robert White was then proceeded with. Mr. Superintendent Carr, of the Rural police, stated that in consequence of information received, he went to Airs' White's house at Neath, and told her that he had come to search for the property which had been stolen on the Race- course. She denied having anything in the house, but what belonged to herself. When witness intimated his intention ot searching the house, she brought from a bed- room a bundle, containing the merino gown, and other a tides, which she said she had received from her son. She was then taken into custody, and the son subsequently surrendered himself. Robert White said, that he and another man, named Hopkin, crossed tbe Race-course 00 the Friday morning, and the latter picked up the bundle containing the articles in question. He did not conceal it, but exhibited it to the ferrymen at BritOhterry, and to several persons whom the prisoner named. The bundle had been left at his mother's because she happened to keep the key of his own house. When asked if they bad anything to say with regard to the charge against them for stealing the baskets and their contents, Watkin Thomas declined saying anything, and Isaac said, "He was asleep under a bench before sbc o'clock." Richard Gregory was re-called, and said that the cask rolled from the cart, contained eight gallons of beer. W hen it was pulled from the cart, Watkin Thomas dragged wit- ness by the leg, and said Come down that I may have a slap at yon." He (witness) found the cask next morning near the canal, but the beer and the cock attached to the cask were gone. Mrs. Richards, of the Beehive, Swansea, identified Wm. Morgan, as one of the men engaged in rolling away the cask of ale. John Thomas, Morgan, Jones, Isaac, and Watkin Thomas, were then committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions, on the various charges of felony. Bail was tendered for each, but refused. Col. Jones informed Sarah and Robert White, that the Magistrates were of opinion that no charge had been made out against them sufficiently clear to warrant committal, but there were several awkward circumstances connected with the case as it regarded them, particularly the circum- stance of Mrs. White not having produced the articles nntil the officer had expressed his determination of searching the house. The Magistrates having charged them to be more cautions in the future, ordered them to be liberated.

TESTIMONIAL TO COLONEL MANSEL. (From the "LIMBHICK CHRONICLE,") In a former number of the Chronicle we gave an accurate description of the magnificent Candelabrum and Salver, manufactured for presentation to Col. Mansel, the Assistant Adjutant-General of this district. The deputa. tion appointed by the committee of subscribers met on Thursday, and headed by the chairman, John N. Russet), Esq., our City High Sheriff, proceeded to the residence of Col. Mansel, in Barrington-street, where the respected functionary read the following address to that officer (ac- companying the testimonial) adopted at a meeting the pre. vious day :— To Colonel Robert C. Mansel, K.H., Assistant Adjutant- General. "My DEAR COI.ONI.L,—The committee representing the sub- scribers to the accompanying testimonial feel great pleasure in being deputed to request your acceptance of it, in testimony of the great esteem entertained by them for your public and private virtues as a citizen and soldier, during a residence of ten years amongst them. The original intention was to have presented this testimonial to you on your expected departure from Limerick, which they heard of with sincere regret, after your having for so many years rendered variotrs important services to the inhabitants of the Cou ty and City ot Limerick, in connexion with jour otlicial dulies on the Stafl of this district. They now feel pleased to find that circumstances have occurred to induce you to relinquish a valuable appointment and to remain amongst as. It has, therefore, been unanimously determined by the no- blemen, clergy, and gentlemen of allsecls and parties, to present this testimonia) to you and on the part of the subscribers we feel gratified in having Ibe opportunity of doing so. and at the same time expressing our satisfaction, that you are to continue in this district. Believe me, my dear Colonel, most faithfully and sincerely yoórs, J NORRIS RUSSELL, High Sheriff, City of Limerick, on the part of the Committee. Limerick, August 3d, 1843." The gallant Colonel was evidently much affected during the reading of the above, and at its conclusion returned the following appropriate reply- Mr, High Sheriff, and Gentlemen-I beg you will accept mv most grateful thanks for the very valuable and splendid Testimonial now conveved to me by vou, as a Committee on tbe part of the Noblemen, Clergy, and Genilemen of the County and City of Limerick Jn receiving this very flattering compliment from so distin- guished II body, amongst whom I have spent so many happy years, and for all of whom I entertain the greatest respect, I can- not but leel that I must attribute your kindness as much to pri- vate friendship, which I have been honoured with, as to anv act of mine in my official capacity, wherein I have endeavoured, under superior authority, to discharge the various duties that devolved upon me, and wherein I have met with the most cordial support from you. Believe me, Gentlemen, the recollection of the happy days I have passed amongst you shall ever he a source of pleasure to me, and to assure you. that it did not require this additional and lasting proof of your kindness 10 impress me with a sincere re- collection of them. I have the honour to be, Mr. High Sheriff and Gentlemen, your very obedient and faithful servant, R. C. MANSEL, Colonel, Asst.-Adjt .General."

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. The public labours for the year 18t3-the thirteenth meeting of this highly useful institlltion-closed at Cork on Monday, the 21st nit., and though snch general interest does not appear to have been felt in the proceedings as on some former occasions, the papers read, and the consequent dis- cussions, have added considerably to scientific knowledge. Many parties who are unable to appreciate the utility of such an institution, among whom has been a portion of the daily press, have attempted to depreciate the resnlts of the society's labours-to ridicule its proceedings—and foretell its speedy downfall; and, though we are aware how dry an.(' "resting are tlip minute details of complicated scientific manipulations, and the delicate and abstruse cal- culations necessary to arrive at mathematical truth, to those who take no delight in such pursuits, it would show a much better feeling on the part of those who thus attempt to write on a subject of which they are evidently ignorant, if they would confine themselves to a mere statement of facts, with- out offering opinions. Since the establishment of this Asso- ciation, in September, 1831, it has given to the world twelve volumes of reports of its proceedings, containing notices of the discoveries of new facts in every branch of science, with the highly-interesting discussions which have taken place at then animal meetings, and which will eventually become text-books for the expeiimentalist, the mathematician, and the chemist. When the names of such men as Dalton, Herschell, Lloyd, Hamilton, Brewster, and a host of others, who have been continually engaged in the drawing np the reports on subjects connected with chemistry, geology, mineralogy, the tides, earthqaakes, electricity, mechanics, and other branches of science, which are daily being made available in the arts tor the production of the Comforts and necessaries ot life, we feel well assured that the objects songht to be attained, and the subjects invesiigated, are not of a frivolous or childish nature, but that they are of most paramount importance, not only in amerety expeiimental view, but bringing themselves to the every-day business of life. Evident, also, Is 11, that pecuniary considerations have never guided the promoters and supporters of this Associa- tion in their great tuquiiies after scientific truths. Since its establishment no less a sum than 8000L has been expended for the promotIOn, of sCientific research -22001. i II astronomy, 1400l. in ma¡:neusm. 8001. on the best construction of vessels for sea, 500l. in medicine, zoology, and botany, 1400l. on the important subject of expel iments on iron, and 15501. in observations on the tides; and, to show that these sums of money have been spent to advantage, we need only take the subject astronomy. Up to within, comparatively, a few years, the places of not more than fi(ry of the fixed stars were ascertdllled, and, as it has long been known that many of those stars called fixed stars have a very slow motion, some of the stated places of these fify were inaccurate. Bradley in England, and Lacaille and Lalande in France, bad handed down a sertes of discoveries in astronomy, and catalogues o t !e xe<' and other stars of the utmost import- ance but, from ie difficulijes attending the abstruse cal- culations necessaij o find their true place in the heavens, have hitherto been but of little ||8e> >Tbe Bri(Uh Associa.' tion took up the subject, and, with the assistance of Mr. Bailey's ingenious and 8i„»plifie(, method of calc Illation, the astronomical world will now have a list of the true places of 3000 stars-a cncumstance of the very greatest importance to navigation, and of SlIcb. paramount interest did the Go- vernment consider the subject that her Majesty's Treasury subscribed an additional 10001. On other branches of science equaHv favonrable results have followed their labours, and, though every annual meeting may not oe equally prolific in discovery, the associ- ation deserves the warmest 8lipport from the pubtic and the Government, and we are happy to see a most influential committee named for the ensuing year, among which are the Marquis ot Northampton, Sir Charles Lemon, Sir H. De la Beche,Dr.Buckland, Profs. Wheatstone,Whewell,Graham. &c. The next meeting will be held at York, in September 1844. We have not space to do justice to the whole pro- ceedings, but, among the most interesting papers read, was one On the Phenomena and Theory of Earihqnakes," by H. D. Rogers, Professor of Geology, University, Pennsyl. vania, and W. B. Rogers, Professor of Natural Philosophy University, Virginia—" On the structure of the Appala- chian Mountains," byC. Lyell,Esq.,F.G.S—"Chromatype, a New Photographic Process," by Mr. R. Hunt.—" On the Heat of Chemical Combination," by Dr. Andrews.-h On the Decomposition of Carbonic Acid Gas and Alkaline Car- bonates by the Light of the Snn," by Prof. Draper, of New York, and on zoology and botany several papers were read describing previously unobserved specimens, and the dis'. covery of habits iu others before but little known.—The closing speech of the president (the Earl of Rosse) was received with considerable applause, and, from the state- ment of accounts read, the receipts were stated to be 327U. 4s. 4d., and expenses 2775L Os. 3d.-Ieftvinga balance of 4961. -is. Id.—Sir WM. HAMILTON moved the thanks of Ireland to the British Association, which was carried by acclamation, and the Mayor of Cork expressed his regret that the gentlemen of the county had not moie warmly sup- ported the advancement of science, by taking a much greater interest in the association.

,r S C I E N T I FIe NOT ICE S, MANVERING AND HAIUUSON'S PATENT PUMP. powerful pump, on the principle patented by the above parties, may ne seen at the manufactory, Mr Clark's Temple-street, Whitefriars. The cylinders are twelve inches diameter, with a 13 inch stroke. In place of the common piston and valve, a metal cylinder, fourteen inches long, fits air-tight in the pump barrel, yet moving freely in it; the top of this cylinder is formed of two lids, or valves, openinc upwards, which, when closed, meet at an angle similar to the gable end of the roof of a houMe; another fixed vatveis placed" ithin the proper atmospheric distauce from the water in the well, the same as on the common principle • by this arrangement, the np-stroke of the valved cylinder draws after it a body of water equal to its internal contents and at the down-stroke, the valves open, and the whole is discharged into the water-box, from whence it rons off bv the spout. The advantages said to be obtained by thi's patent are—a considerable deal less friction than by any other method yet discovered, consequently less power re- quired to work it, and obtaining the greatest quantity of water possible, in proportion to diameter, and length of stioke; the pump here mentioned has double action and worked by four men will discharge 15,000 gallons of water per hour. RUTHNEN'S IMPROVEMENTS FOR PROPELLING STEAM- J VESSELS.—We have, on several occasions, had onr attention | called to this method of pro pula ion, bnt press of other matter I has hitherto prevented its notice in onr columns. The dis- advantages of the paddle-wheels are well-known, and very generally admitted, and hence the various adaptations of the Archimedean screw and othei plans to supersede them. By this the inventor considers he avoids the numerous evils ne- cessarily attendant on the use of paddle-wheels and the screw, and obtains greater speed, facility of turning or going astern, capabilities of steering, even after the loss of the rudder, while the machinery, which is placed in much smaller compass.is entirely out of danger from shots, striking on a rock,&c. The propulsion of the vessel iseffected simply by the powerful discharge of a column of water from two nozzles placed below the water line, one on the starboard, the other on the larboard side of the vessel; the greatest resistance to a vessel's way going through the water is at her bows, and this resistance the patentee partially reduces by admitting the water at two l;trge oiifices at the bows, and conveying it by pipes into a tight case, in which revolves a wheel worked by the steam-engine. This wheel is divided into a series ot compartments, communicating from the pe- riphery with the axis the water enters at the centre, and by the centrifugal force engendered hy the revolving of the wheel ill discharged with great force from the circumference which is in immediate connection with the nozzles outside. By an arrangement on deck, the seamen, without any com- munication with the man at the engine, can, by reversing the nozzles, back the vessel, by turning one vertically, or downwards turn her round, or by turning both down, stop her; and placing the nozzles at any angle with her side. the vessel will go fast or slow in proportion to that angle these motions are all given with the greatest ease, and when the wind is favourable, the full sailing powers of a vessel may be brought to assist the engines. The subject is worthy of con- sideration, and every information will be afforded by Mr. Ruthven, of Edinburgh, where a model may be inspected. BLASTING AT THE DOVER CLIFFS BY A NEW MACHINE. -During the past few weeks several interesting expert- menu; have been tried with a new invention for exploding gunpowder. The apparatns used, although merely a model or small machine for showing the principle of the invention, is capable of exploding several charges simultaneously, at distances from one to two hundred feet. The agent em- ployed in this plan is common electricity, collected in Leyden jars. It will occur to those who know anything of electricity, that it cannot be prodnccd save in dry weather. The in- ventor, Mr. R. W. Thomson, a young Scotch engineer, has overcome this difficulty by a truly ingenious discovery. He surrounds the battery and cylinder by an atmosphere kept dry by art—in other words, he encloses the apparatus in an air-tight box. The provision for drying, and keeping dry, the air in this box is extremely simple—a small vessel containing some dried chloride of calcium being placed in- side is all that is required. So great an affinity has this substance for water, that it absorbs all the moisture from the air in the box, and quickly renders it perfectly dry. The box being air-tight, the air contained in it of course re- mains dry, notwithstanding the dampness of the atmosphere. The wires being previously arranged, the electricity is dis- charged through the bursting cartridges, one of these being placed in each bore or mine. In this plan of blasting, un- like the Galvanic method, the whole of the electiicity goes through each bursting cartridge, the conducting wires being cut, and the ends placed a little apart. Of course a spark takes place, and explodes the substance of which these car- tridges are made. The expense and inconvenience of work. ing galvanic batteries have altogether prevented their general introduction; and although by their means the advantages of simultaneous blasting have been clearly established, yet they have proved too complicated to be used in this way in ordinary excavating or quarrying operations. Mr. Thom- son's electrical exploding machine is certainly on a much more convenient and simple plan.and will quickly recommend itself to those who are engaged in excavating or quairying works. Nor can his beautiful invention for improving the electrical machine, by placing it in an artificial atmosphere, fail to be appreciated by those who have occasion to use electricity either in the lecture-room or in the laboratory.— Dover Chronicle.

MISCE L LA NE O U S. RAILWAYS IN IRELAND.—A meeting of gentlemen, anxious for the establishment of a railway between Cork and Dublin, and who were favourable to the proposed line between Dublin and Cashel, has taken place at Cork, the Mayor presiding, at which Mr. Perry and Mr. Neill attended and stated the inquiries commenced in reference to the pro- posed line from Dublin to Cashel. The attendance was numerous and highly respectable, including J. D. Croker, Esq., M. J. O'Counell, Esq.. M.P.. Sir G. Coulthurst, &c. Resolutions were carried to the effect, that the steps adopted by the Committee appointed for the establishment of a rail- way from Dublin to Cashel appear highly commendable bnt that, without the completion of the line to Cork, the benefit to the south of Ireland would be comparatively partial, and far short of that which would be derived from a direct rail- way communication between Dublin and Cork that Pro- fessor M'Neill be requested to prepare the necessarv plans and a report, and that he be requested in his report to express his opinion on the application of the atmospheric principle, as well as the locomotive power;—and, that the following be a committee to carry into effect the purposes of these resolutions, with power to add to their number, and that they be requested to communicate on the subject with the noblemen and gentlemen of the county and city of Cork, and the adjoining counties through which the proposed rail- way should pass:—Lord Bernard, Sir D. Norreys, Bart., Sir W. Chatterton, Bart., Sir T. Deane, F. B. Beamish Esq., T. M. Keeves. Esq., W. Fagan, Esq., S. Laue, Esq., J. Gould, Esq., Major Beamish, N. Mnrphy, Esq., W. Lane Esq., C. Beamish, Esq., Sir G. Conltnurst, M.J. O'Connell! Esq., M.P., C. N. Leader, Esq. NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.— A proposition is now fairly before the public for completing the great chain of railways between Edinburgh and London, which, if carried into effect, will enable parties to leave Edinburgh or Glas- gow early in the morning, and reach London the same night. The greater part of the work to effect this is com- pleted—the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway is finished, the lines from London are complete to Darlington, that from Darlington to Newcastle is in active progress, and will, no donbt, be open in 1844. Many highly influential parties connected with the great lines between London and New- castle are taking energetic measures for establishing a line from Newcastle to Berwick-npon-Tweed, and it requires but the fifty-six miles of railway from the tatter place to Edinburgh, to complete the chain of communication and thug render the connection with England complele. In calculating the traffic, the projectors have been moderate adding only two-thirds to the present known number of passengers, and taking the charge at l§d. per mile, instead of the usual one, 211., and without adding anything for goods' traffic, a free revenue is made out of 73,033/. per annum or abont 8 per cent, on the capital invested. This capital of 900,000/. it is proposed to raise in shares of 25/. each and there will be a proviso in the Act of Parliament that no shareholder shall be liable beyond the extent of his shares. A provisional committee of fity-six most respectable and substantial parties residing in the vicinity of the line has been formed to carry out the preliminaries of the under- taking, and we understand about one-third of the capital has already been subscribed for. Forming, as this line will the last link in the chain of communication between the' metropolitan cities of England and Scotland, unitin" them with the principal manufacturing distiicts of both coumries there cannot be much douht that if p.oper economy is used in its completion, it will be emineutly successful.

THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER.—FRIDAY being the first day of partridge shooting, the departure of sportsmen by the early trains was very numerous, and the immense quan- tity of game received by the night traius gave evidence that the sport must have been first rate. The accounts received fiom the "crack" manors are conflicting, some of the statements representing that the coveys are very nume- rous, and that as many as eighteen and twenty birds have been counted in a single covey, while others assert that the heavy rains in the batching season had sadly thinned the young broods. Hares and rabbits are said to be very abun- dant, and from letters received from the moors, it seems that grouse were very plentiful. At this particular season it may be as well to caution the public respecting their transactions with game dealers. Under the Act of Parlia- ment it is enacted that any person buying game of an unlicensed dealer, and also of a licensed dealer, except at his house, shop, or stall, at which a board must be affixed, having thereon, in clear and legible characters, the Christian and surname of each dealer, and the words" licensed to deal in game," is liable to a penalty of five ponnds, and the seller thereof to two pounds, for every head of game so bought or sold. It is nhderstood that the authorises are determined to put the law into effect in case of any infringe- ment of the statute. THE REGKNT OF SPAIN.—A Court of Common Council was held on Friday, at which the following resolutions were proposed by Mr. Justice Peacock I. That this Court feeling a deep interest in the independence and prosperity of the Spanish people, intimately connected as they ai* with the state of commercial and political intercourse, which must tend to the m-itual advantage of both nations, has witnessed with disappointment and sorrow the forced retire- ment of the Regent of Spain from that countiy, which under his zealous and patriotic guidance, was making rapid strides in the path of constitutional government and health- ful internal pohcy. -2. "That it desires to express sincere sympathy with the Regent in the frustration of his wise and philanthropic plans for the permanent happiness ot Spain. and its cordial wish that the triumph of corrupt intrigue and anti national influence may be rendered of short duration by his speedy recal to the country he has served so faith- fully, feeling assured that the happineSS of the people, the only valuable end of good government, will he the.eby increased.—Mr. Deputy Green seconded the resolutions — f Sir Peter Laurie, conceiving that the Court had no right to | interfere with the internal government of Spain, move^d the previous question.—Mr. Anderson seconded the motion — Along discussion then ensued on the words corrupt in- triune and anti-national influence," and the Lord Mavor having suggested their omission, Mr. Deputy Peacock assented, and the resolutions, with the omission ol these words, were carried' by a very large majority.—The Lord Mayor then announced that if Ihe Conn would allow him. he would receive tbe General at the Mansion House and they should present the Address to him there, and dine with him afterwards. It would do away with the ostentation of going up to him at his house, or anywhere else. He (the Lord Mayor) would be present to receive him as his »uesi every Common Councilman should be invited, "nd lie lioped' those who disagreed with what had been done to-dav would not disagree with him on that occasion. If the Couri am-ed to this, he would have a communication with some of Genei d Espartero's suite, and ascertain whether it would be It" able to hiu), in which case he would make immediate arrangements to receive him there.—A resolution w^s h. n agreed to, to the effect that the resolutions should be pie sented by the Lord Mayor; it being arranged 11I.,t, hav n* been read by his Lordship in English, a Spanish t ■<■ iv|.ti i<>• > of them should be put into his Excellency's hand*, as h does not understand English.—The COUI t then bioke up. THE CHELSEA OUT-PENSIONERS.—According to the 1 Bill passed in the late session of Parliament for the catling out 10,000 of the most effective of the Chelsea ont-pensioners, a notice has been sent from the War-office requiring all pensioners to send in their exact age, how they are now employed, and whether they are ready to go on full pay. The number of soldiers receiving pensions from 6d., 9d., to Is. per diem is upwards of 50,000. The present number of in-door pensioners at Chelsea College is 490. The youngest is 58, and the ages vary from 60 to 90, and two of these veterans have obtained tie great age of 104 years. The number of deaths this season has been greater than usual, averaging from two to three a week. They are all well clothed, fed, and lodged in the college, and are allowed Id. a day tor tobacco, which is called "her Majesty's Bounty." SEIZURE BT THE EXCISE OF A MANUFACTORY OF SPURIOUS TEA.—From the number of cases of retailers of spurious tea that have lately come before her Majesty's Court of Excise, and in which convictions of the parties in large penalties have invariably followed, the officers have been strictly on the alert, to endeavour to bring the whole- sale producers or manufacturers to justice, especially as the poorer classes are, in most instances, the purchaseis of this trash, to the injury of their health, and the loss of the levenue. Front information received, Messrs. Spurgin and Kowtandson. slIpenisors of excise, proceeded to premises in Atichor-yard, Old-stieet, St. Luke's, where, after some trouble,, they succeeded in obtaining an entrance. On going into the manufactory" they found it fitted np with large stoves, pans for drying, plates for the final process of drying, colouring matter, and drugs, besides a large quantity of" tea," black and green, ready for sending out, with some only in progress from black to green the whole amounting to nearly a ton in weight. The place was fitted up in the most extensive manner, suitable for carrying on a large trade, as was evidenced by the latge size of the stoves, and the stock of coke found upon the premises. The whole stock of tea" consisted of spent leaves, re-dried and coloured to represent black or green, according to the demand. The apparatus appeared to have been recently used, but no person was found upon the premises; they having, it was supposed, made their escape during the entry of the officers. A van having been procured, the whole was conveyed to the chief office of the Board of Excise in Broad-street, where the circumstances will be adjudicated upon by her Majesty's Commissioners. HORRIBLE MURDElt OF A FATHER BY HIS SON.- On Tuesday morning the dead body of a gentleman was discovered lying in Cobham Park, with his throat cut and a y 11 deep wound in his side which had penetrated to the lungs. The body was lying in a pool of blood, and presented a dreadful spectacle and it was evident from the appearances that-after the mortal stab bad been given to the unhappy gentleman, his murderer had seized him by the collar of the coat and had then completed his horrid work by cutting his throat. A knife and a razor with which the deed had been perpetrated were found near the body. On inquiry it was ascertained that the deceased was Mr. Dadd. late a chemist at Chatham, but residing at Suffolk-street, Pall-mall, East, as a carver and gilder; that he had come from London with his son, Richard Dadd, about 24 years of age, to witness a military review at Chatham that he had taken lodgings for the night at Cobham, but had gone about nine o'clock in the evening of Monday for a walk in company with the son, and at the solicitation of the latter, since which time till the dis- covery of his dead body on the following morning, he had not been seen, nor had any tidings been heard of the son. It further transpired that the son was an artist of some cele- brity, and had gained several prizes at the Royal Academy, but had lately become deranged, and as lately as last Satin day Dr. Sutherland recommended that the strictest caution should be exercised in watching his movements, as he did not consider him to be safe at large. This advice was not strictly attended to—he never being allowed ont of sight. A change of scene being consideied necessary, Mr. D4(id took 111 hH unfortunate son into Kent, and reached the Ship Tavern, at CObham, as before mentioned, on Monday evening. The son had probably conceived the frightful idea of taking awav Ins father s hfe, an(j invited him to take a walk, in order to carry tns design int0 execution. The police have scoured the country round for miles, but not the slightest trace of the young man has been disoverced, and it is generally supposed that he has made away with himself. J r EXECUTION OF THE MURDERER HIGGONSOV.—This wretched man, who was convicted at the late assizes for the brutal murdei of his child, was executed at Stafford on Saturday se'nnight, at eight o'clock, in front of the County Gaol, in the presence of an immense concourse of persons. The crime for which the unhappy wretch forfeited his life was one of the most cool-blooded and heartless murders that ever blackened the criminal annals of any country. The murdered boy, who was five years old, w>as sent by its father to a nurse, named Sarah Breese, at Whitley-heath, and he was to pay Is. 6d. a week for his keep. Higgonson having been It weeks in arrears, Breese intormed him that if lie could not pay up the amount, he was to remove his I child. In the course of the week lie transmitted seven week's pay- ment, and the nurse, being disappointed in not receiving the whole amount, insisted upon his taking the boy with him. On the morning of the 2d of April last, Higgonson took his child away, saying that he had got a nurse tor him near his mother's house, at Eccleshall." The poor child was never seen afterwards, and in answer to inquiries made of him as to what he had done with him, he replied that the child had very bad eyes and died on the road, and being very poor, he buried it in a wood. Very strong suspicions were then excited, and he was induced to show the spot where the body lay, which was ill Bishop's-wood, in a grave foil two feet deep, with a tight bandage over his eyes and mouth. The prisoner was then taken into custody, and committed for the wilful murder of his son, for which [W was found guilty at the lare assizes, and sentenced to death, he having remarked during the trial that he buried it alive. It was evident, therefore, that the unnatural parent, to rid himself of his offspring's maintenance, enticed his innocent victim 0 into the wood, where, after digging a grave, having pre- viously blindfolded him, and tied a handkerchief over his month so as to prevent his being heard, he actually bnried him alive. After his condemnation he sunk into a morbid state of insensibility, from which the unwearied exhortations of the Rev. R. ttuckridge, chaplain of the connty prison, were not able to rouse him. Latterly, however, he evinced a slight degree of compunction and uneasiness, and the Rev. gentleman availed himself of tlie favourable change, in order to lay before him the importance of his awful condition. On Thursday last his father and three brothers visited him for the last time, and although the wretched cnlprit was not very communicative with them, yet he afterwards appeared deeply affected at the interview, and endured tl^r deepest agony. On Friday the condemned sermon was preached by the Rev. Chaplain, and the sacrament was afterwards admi- nistered to him. The scene was one of deep solemnity, and produced a most awfnl effect on the prisoners. The unhappy culprit passed a very restless night, and at an early hour arose, and was soon attended by the Rev. Ordinary of the prison, who remained with him until the last moment in deep prayer. By half-past seven o'clock, all the authorities having arrived, they proceeded to the condemned cell, where the painful ceremony of pinioning the arms was gone through. He approached and ascended the drop with a firm step, and bade adieu to the governor, Mr. Button, in ôl Vel V affection- ate manner, at the same time shedding tears. Theawfu) moment had now arrived he stood, whilst the rope was adjusted and the cap drawn over his face, with remarkable fortitude, evidently in deep and fervent prayer. After the lapse of a few seconds the platform tell, and the unhappy wretch ceased to exist. The crowd did not manifest the least feeling during the ceremony, and conducted themselves throughout with the greatest propriety. The body, after hanging one hour, was cut down and buried within the walls of the gaol. HENS—EGG!?—If Y0H wish for hf.ns to hatch female clucks, select those eggs to set them which are distinguished for smooth ends. Those which have their small ends roughened by concent) in circles, and which are the most oval in torm, produce cocks. It is a matter of importance, sometimes to the grower to understand this fact. At least so thought Collumetl>i.—Maine Cultivator.
