Aberdeen. On Monday night, a commencement was made of the fishing season at this port, by aboot a dozen of boats proceeding to sea, but the fishermen seldom, muster in full force before the 20th curt. Last night, ten boats went to sea, and averaged about a cran per boat the best fished having bat a cran and a-half. The fish are of excellent quality and there is a fair prospect of a plentiful take. As yet, however, the dog fish are causing much annoyance, and destruction of the nets.

To accomplish this end, she called upon the Ureat Spirit to give her a pair of wings, and, having received them, she flew into the air and became the moon.

'8 8- INTENDED ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND ABANDONED. The Times of Monday says: It has been known for some time that her Majesty felt the strongest desire to visit this year the only part of her dominions which she has not yet seen, ftueen Victoria has made herself acquainted with most of the leading features of England and Scotland their cities, their mountains their lakes, and -their shores; and she has everywhere received and warmly acknowledged the most cordial expressions of loyal attachment. There is not an isle of any note in these seas on which she has not landed; she has also visited France, Belgium, and Germany. No one, therefore could doubt that it was only the sense of a cruel necessity which prevented her from following the successful precedent of George and confiding herself to the loyalty of her Irish subjects. She has passed within sight of that unfortunate country; and it may be easily imagined that the envious fate which denied a nearer approach, inflicted some of the most painful moments of her reign.

This year however, her Majesty did intend to break a spell which conflicted so much with her natural feelings; and a visit to Cork, Dublin, and Belfast was in serious contemplation We have now to announce, that this intention has been suspended for a more favourable opportunity. Her Majesty will not visit Ireland this year. However much we may lament this delay, it is impossible for any sound- minded and sound-hearted Englishman not to be sensible ofits prudence It cannot be overlooked that certain persons, whom neither the people nor their spiritual guides have had the manliness to repudiate, have avowed their publicly to insult her Majesty and her advisers with seditious and calumnious cries. vBi' on a sraauer tonnage tnan nas ever oeiore been realized. Nor are the advantages of this invention confined to sailing vessels.

The Messrs. Hall, it will be seen, have built two steamers on the principle, the Iris" and the Queen." The Iris" was the first steamer built with the "Aberdeen bow," but now it is generally followed in tho Clyde; the model having been taken, in the first instance, from the "Rapid" of Leith, whose history we havcalready sketched. The improved bow has just been put upon the steam-ship Bonnie the Aberdeen and Leith Shipping Company, and it is found that she not only goes faster than before, (although she always proved herself a fast boat), but although 22 feet has been added to her length, on being measured by the Custom-house officers, she is found to be seven tons less measure than she was before the alteration was made. Suoh, then, are the facts in tho history of this invention. The i Messrs Hall, with a degree of liberality that does them tho highest credit, did not avail themselves of the extensive benefits which a natent for it.

GAELIC CHURCH. from tho Committee, anent this Church, stated tkS the differences which existed were, by mutual agree-: St in a fair way of being obviated.

An applicaMnfronl the Gaelic Committee, that the Pres-hvtery should agree to the removal of Mr Gordon from Bonrtreebush to the congregation of Clyne, in Ross-shire, was after the hearing of parties, refused.

The Treasurer reported, by communication to the Clerk, that the funds of the Mission were all but exhausted; and it was agreed that those congregations who have made no collections during the past year, should be earnestly requested iodo so immediately for this object.

Professor M'Lagan reported that negotiations were still going on between the Divinity Hall Committee in Aberdeen, and the College Committee in Edinburgh, respecting the decision of the late General Assembly regarding Theologioal Education.

Mr Ionomuir gave notice that, at next meeting, he would take the sense of the Presbytery, as to the mannor in which parties connected with the Free Church, who keep spirit shops open on any part of the Sabbath, should be dealt with.

Adjourned. Balmoral. Last week we quoted.a paragraph Perth Courier, relative to the Royal visit to in which the writer said," the furnishings for the royal household will, we' believe, as formerly, be sent from Perth by Glenshee to tho Castleton of Bremar, from which Balmoral is distant about 14 mile9." We are inclined to believe that the intention of the paragraph in question is to attract visiters and parties going to Balmoral to the Fair City, and to secure for its merchants the entire royal patronage. A fentleman informs us that the access to Balmoral by way of 'erth is anything but an easy one. There are only two roads the disputed one through Glentilt, which is at best but a bridle road, and the old military road, which is extremely undulating, passing over tho Carnwell hill, which is the highest point on the entire military road.

The most direct, andj at the same time, the best communication with Balmoral, is by Aberdeen, from which tho road up Deeside, as far as Ballater, is a fine turnpike, and almost a povfect level. From Ballater to Balmoral there is only a distance of eight miles, which is traversed by the military road, equally level and equally good with the turnpike. The gentleman, alluded to above, assures us he has frequently travelled both roads, and that while nothing but pleasure is experienced in taking the road from Aberdeen, ths tra vel in tne year iud, a lew spirited gentlemen in Aberdeen formed themselves into a copartnery, for tho purpose of building a superior class of sailing vessels, to run in opposition to the steam-boats of the Aberdeen and London Steam Navigation Company. They applied to Messrs A. Hall boiis, shipbuilders, to construct a model f'or a fast schooner, ine model was made as with tho common bow, and orders were given to proceed with the vessel.

The Messrs Hall oommenoed framing the schooner from aft, and continued the frames un til they reached the fore end of the keel. Thus far the work had prooeeded, when the builders suggested a deviation from the models, which they believed would prove to be a decided improvement; They proposed to run the stem out. so as to form the cut-water, the effect of which would bo to draw the water lines finer at the bow, and as a natural consequence, the vessel would divide the water easily, be more buoyant forward, and of less register tonnage, than if she were buiii, on the old plan. Tho idea did not at first meet the views of the owners. A skeleton bow was then erected, and not a few of the curious examined it, and were sceptical of the uncommon design.

After due consideration, the owners gave consent to proceed with the vessel according to the skeleton model, and in that style fhe was finished and launohed. The look of the schooner in the water was encouraging. It was evident from the appearance of her water lines that the idea of a perfect bow was realized, and some of those who were at first opposed to the project were now among its warmest commendators. The new model necessarily implied a Hew style of masting and rigging. The sharpness of the bow, the fineness of the run? and breadth of the floor, suggested the importance of placing the masts so as to concentrate the force of the sails as much as possible on the centre of the vessel; and iu order to increase her headway with a lively mo.tion, it wa3 deemed essential to give her spars a good rake aftwards Thus built and equipped, the Scottish Maid-' was put on the passage to London, and such were the qualities of her sailing that she frequently made the voyage in 49 hours Encouraged by this result, tho owners had other three clippers built on the same model, and so successful was the experiment, that clipper bows" became quite the rage, and the Messrs Hall had orders to construct vessels with the Aberdeen Bow, to trade in every part of the globe; In these oircumstances, and looking upon the invention as being of national importance, we have traced the experiment down to the present time, as exemplified in the history of the other clippers which the inventors of the bow have built.

Since 1839, tho Messrs Hall have built the following vessels with the improved bow but chose rather to let the publio derive all the advantage which competition could induce. Many clippers with Aberdeen bows" are now to be seen amongst the British marine, and ere long every other model will doubtless be supplanted by them. Tho "coffins, which so long disfigured our navy, and lost the precious lives of many of our seamen, will soon be superseded, and in their stead. umjio ui wuiuu il, may wim irucu do said of each, She walked the water like a thing of life," to the honour, and, we trust, the advantage of the oityof Aberdeen. 1 Mysterious Ciecumstanoe.

The quality of the fish taken has far exceeded that whicli generally characterises the herrings caught at this early day in July. Several strange boats from the South and Moray Firths have arrived, and it is probable that all the crews from these directions will be here in a day or two. One of the first mentioned, from Cellardyke, brought ashore 12 crans on Wednesday, and another 4 erans.

Meanwhile, a large number of our own boats arc lying on the beach, unrepaired and untarred, and the nets of their owners are yet to bark The crews from the west coast will be droppin" in by the beginning of next week, and a general muster may be expected in ten days at the farthest. Our Stornoway correspondent says: "The stranger crows have all left, and the native fishermen are preparing to leave for Caithness, The average for the season is -n, thel'e are now vory few herrings on hand.

Seeming it useless to continue trying the herrings the bay, owing to the scarcity offish there, two or three of our boats have occasionally, last week been as far west as Sandside and Portskerry in quest of them but to very little advantage.

In place of the right of hypothec where the cattle of others are fed on such lands, the law gives' the landlord a preferable right, however, to the rent payable, commonly called "grass mail." It is not settled whether the landlord of agricultural or pastoral subjects has any right of hypothec over the tenant's furniture or implements, for farm rent.

With regard to houses, some writers think that he is only allowed hypothec over the "goods," because houses yield no fruits and that he must be restricted to the fruits of a farm. It must not be disguised, however, that, notwithstanding the Court of Session has never decided this doubtful point, hy pothec has been allowed, in some inferior courts, over implements and furniture. But it is thought that, at al! events, the landlord might have a right, at the end of the lease, to detain those upon the farm and in the houses until the rent were paioV- Al'Fhun's Familiar Treatise on the Lata of Landlord and Tenant.

The Coffin was in the centre of the cairn, and the Urns were found at about tha distance of five yards from it. The Coffin and Urns contained a number of human bones. The cairn is situated within about thirty paces of an earthen rampart (similar to that which is visible on the hill of Milmahd in the same parish), whicli stretches towards the Findrack shoulder of the hill to the distance of 700 yards, and encloses fully ten acres of ground. Great, pains and labour must have been bestowed in erecting the cairn, evidenced by the huge stones, rather circularly shaped, which were discovered at a small distance below the surface of the ground, encircling it, and fitting so closely and beautifully together, that they would not have disgraced a Roman Aqueduct. It is to be regretted, that one of the Urns was completely destroyed; and it is supposed that the excavator, Young Troup, the Perkhill want, in terror at coming upon so many receptacles for the dead, in his hurry to escape from the scene of his discoveries, trampled upon it, and thu3 reduced it to a heap of dust.

It is right to state, in this case, that' on the intercession of a Lumphanander, Mrs tenant, caused the Stone part of the ground around it, to be left undis- 'turbed, so that it is spared for a memorial of days long departed. To the antiquary and patriot, it and tha encampment so closo beside it, will be doubly interesting, being hardly a mile's distance from the battle-field, where the army of the great Macbeth.theKine-killine Thane, was de- Minister to the Government at Washington. The troops were rapidly returning from Mexico. A Bill had been introduced into the Mexican Congress for the reorganization of the army, the regular force to consist of 100,000, to which is to be added a National Guard.

Hen-era had been elected President of Mexico. Accounts from Yucatan represent it to be still in a most deplorable condition. We have later advices from Canada.

Tup. Elgin Academy. A special meeting of the Town Council oOlIgin was held in the Council-chamber on Wednesday. The Provost stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee appointed to carry through the examination of the Academy, 'ihe Clerk here read the report, which detailed the proceedings pretty, much as narrated in our last. A lengthened discussion followed, which resulted in the fol-towingresoliition, proposed by Mr Taylor and seconded by Mr Alves, being agreed to: "Resolved, That the report by the Academy Committee, now laid before the Council, be approved of and that the teacher of the Mathematical deparlrnent, the Rev.

Peter Merson, be forthwith dismissed from that office, in consequence of the many and repeated instances of disobedient, refractory, and insulting conduct of which he had beenguilty towards the patrons, and whioh he ha3 persisted in, notwithstanding of his solemn pledge to the contrary, and that he be forthwith debarred from teaching in future the said class; and that this aetof dismissal be intimated, to him accordingly." The Council then appointed the Provost and Magistrates as a Committee to carry the resolution into effect, and to make arrangements for supplying the vacancy. lMfATirT?

Our readers will remember that last year the shop of Messrs Fraser Smith Merchants, Thnrso, was partly burned. At the time there were strong suspicions that the fire had originated by some of the parties concerned, and a precognition was taken, but there was not found at the time sufficient evidence to warrant a criminal proseontion, and the matter was therefore allowed to rest. On Tuesday week, in consequence of information conveyed to the authorities, John Bain, Superintendent of Police for this county, went South by the steamer, and returned on Saturday, having in custody one of the members ofthe firm referred to Smith who has been in Glasgow for some considerable time, and who is now committed to the jail here, on the charge of fire-raisin'. It is said that Smith has made a full confession of his" guilt. John O'Groat Journal.

11 A -large quantity of rain has fallen within the last few days, and as there is yet a considerable breadth of turnip land still unsown, a temporary stop has been put to farther progress in that important department of agriculture. But there is not much time lost, as a few dry days would enable the farmers to make such advancement as to close turnip sowing within the time generally recognised as seasonable for finishing the laying in- of that crop-the first week of July.

His cairn, in the midst of mat can be advanced in favour of their superiority over the ordinary build; and when it is farther stated that not oneof them has been laid up or withdrawn from active service for a single day, either in summer or winter, it is impossible to resist the conclusion that a new and. most important-improvement has been introduced 'into otfr mercantile marine.

As additional and still more definitive testimony to the practical value of this improvement, we have been favoured with copies of letters which the builders have received from most of the captains of the foregoing vossels. and submit a few extracts which may be confidently relied on as a specimen of the whole. The first is from Captain Nell of the romngton," who, in a letter dated Singapore, Sept. 30, 1845, gives an interesting account of his voyage out, and says" As I promised to give you a faithful account of the vessel, my opinion is, she is as fine a specimen of naval architecture as man need desire. As a sea-boat her equal cannot.be found." Tho China Mail of the 25th December, J84f, gives an account of one of the voyages of this vessel irom which it appeared that she had made a remarkable passage, and according to the testimony of Mr J.

THE HEBRIDES-POST-OFFICE COMMUNICATION WITHDRAWN. We were surprised lately at receiving from a respectable source the following communication: "The Post-office authorities have, for the present, put a stop to the mail-packet between Dunvegan, in the Isie of Skye, and Loch-maddy, North Uist; and have further prohibited the postmasters at Dunvegan and Lochmaddy from transmitting the mails from one office to the other. Parties on the mainland who have correspondents in the islands of Harris, North Uist, South Uist, and Barra, need not, therefore, be surprised at not hearing from tbem, as the usual means of com-municationhave been suspended."

as to their respective proportions of the expense of maintaining the packet We are informed (if erroneously we shall be happy to correct the error) that Colonel Gordon has not paid one shilling towards the support of the mail; though his estate and population are more tban-double those of Lord Macdonald. The latter finding the expense too heavy, declines to contribute, and the Post-office functionaries, the hope that the proprietors be forced to yield, have put a stop to all communication. Thus the entire population of the four islands are made to sutler. The proprietors do not, of course, feel the hardship. Lord Macdonald may ba.ve little intercourse with these districts, while Colonel Gordon resides in the south, and both can command means of communication when they desire it.
