The pic-nic parties of Dublin , an important " interest , will noto with pleasure the complotion of tho railway from Dundrum to Bray , leading from a city suburb to tho pleasure districts of Wicklow . Tho lino will bo opened lor traffic when it is completed into tho city . Dr . Cahill , remarkablo for delivering clovor , scientific lectures , and writing long polemical letters , has had a public entortainment in Dublin . The Morning Post correspondent roports : — " Tho chair waa taken by Mr . John O'Connoll , who seems to havo postponed to somo future poriod ( not as yot decided on ) tho interesting sceno of " ^ ym f ? on tho ffoor of tho House , " as I havo not seen tho learned gentleman for a loner timo in bettor health and

" jA ° -English Protestant missionaries proceed in their injudicious practice of preachinc aerainat Romanism in tho

In America bciouco admirably aids trade . Tim movement haa reached England . Lieutenant Muury , tho United hjuoh olhcor , who him instituted many examinations of " ««» , windB , and currents , explained his design and aim at Li verpool on Saturday . Sea captains are famished with
charts which they fill up according to their daily observation during their voyage . These observations require no more time than is usuall y given to the proper conduct of a vessel at sea . The latitude and longitude must be daily stated , and the duration and character of the winds for the three parts of the day . The thermometrical and barometrical observations , and such other remarks as navigators choose to make , must also be taken . There are two sets of charts . One set represents the routes which vessels are accustomed to pursue ' across the ocean in the various months of the year , the direction and force of the wind for each day being designated by colours and symbols , so that the navigator may find at any time of the year the track of some vessel which has been before him . Another sefc of
charts , smaller and . more enigmatical , is made up of a system of circles . The ocean is divided into spaces five degrees square , five of latitude by five of longitude ; and , through whatever square a vessel passes and reports the wind to blow in a certain direction , it is assumed to be blowing from that quarter at that instant all over the square . When the observations for each square are obtained they are classed according to the months ; and after they have got three or four , and perhaps in some instances as many different
as 1800 observations on the same months of years , but for the same square , they can calculate the averages and the prevailing direction of the winds in that square for that month . Thus the whole ocean is comprehended , and , having-the advantage of the experience of others , a captain can sometimes judiciously turn out of his way , and make a shorter passage , because he can see at once where he may expect certain winds . Foreign sea-captains will be furnished with their charts by the American Government , as it is a system , of mutual operation and benefit .

A new railway to Portsmouth will in fact make a direct communication between London and Portsmouth . It commences at Godalming , on the South Western line , and ends at Havaht on the Brighton railway .

Ocean steam-ships of enormous size are to be placed on the Australian route by the Eastern Steam Company . They will be 680 feet long , 83 feet wide , and of 2600 nominal horse power . They will take all their coal with them from
thefirst , and will make no stay in the passage . The voyage to Australia can thus be done in thirty-six days , and that to India in thirty-three days . The Cape of Good Hope line will be chosen . Alexander von Humboldt speaks highly ofjhe projected oceanic canal between the Pacific and the Atlantic ,, "It will render the whole globe more easy to be , trayelled over , ; this little glohe , of which Christopher Columbus , in one of his letters to the Queen of Spain , said , ' El mundo espoco .

Quack doctors thrive in England . The census of 1841 showed 21 , 435 persons practising one or more departments of medicine without qualification . The youth and sex of some of the practitioners was also remarkable . In Birmingham there was one " herbalist" under 20 years of age , 2 " keepers of lunatic asylums" under 20 , 14 female leech-bleeders , and 1 female phvsician . 1 female " dentist " in Taunton , a " physician" in JSTorwich under 20 , 2 " medicine vendors" in the Tower Hamlets under 20 , 1 " midwife " in Preston under ' 20 , 1 " physician" in Canterbury under 20 , 2 " physicians" in Bristol under 20 , a female " chemist and druggist" in Colchester under 20 , 1 " physician" in Darlington under 20 , and 1 female " surgeon" in Cornwall under 20 .
" There is some hoarding of gold coin , " says the Morning Chronicle , evidently in an accusative mood . " Whilst we havo returns of 24 , 000 , 000 ? . of gold having been received from Australia within a certain period , we havo accounts of only 14 , 000 , 000 ? , having been absorbed . There is thus 10 , 000 , 000 ? . unaccounted for . Some , probably the greater—portion of this has been shipped privately to the Continent , but some has also found its way into the hands of tho humbler classes of society , by whom ifc is being hoarded , and , although in small sums , must necessarily in tho aggregate prove a heavy amount .

SA . T 3 TEDAY , August 13 . The Tory Lords attempted last night to force explanations from the Government as to the state of the negotiations ; but though Lord Malmesbury made a very pretentious oration , in which he took to himself the credit of the peace , on the ground that he had invented the alliance with Louis Napoleon , Lord Clarendon , refused to give any further explanations . He made a long justificatory oration ; but in reality he said nothing . In . fact , the point of his speech was in what he did not . say ; he did not deny the assumption which kord Malmesbury had ventured on—that there was no paragraph in the joint Vienna note insisting on the evacuation of Moldo-Wallachia ; and the obvious inference , therefore , is , that there no such stipulation has been made . How , then , are the Russians to be got rid of ? ^

The Bridgewater Will case has been partly decided . The Earl of Bridgewater ' s will left the family estates to Lord Alford , on condition that within five years after Lord Alford succeeded to hia father ' s title ( Earl Brownlow ) he should obtain a Marquisate . Lord Alford inherited tho estates , but died without becoming a Marquis . His son now claims the property , opposed by the heir next in remainder . There are two points : one is , whether the condition relative to the Marquisate is , for Lord Alford's son , a condition precedent or subsequent to the possession of the estates . With the exception of Mr . Judge Crompton , ( junior iuderes , ) all the judges decided that the
condition was a condition precedent , as regarded the heirs of Lord Alford . The other point is , whether the proviso regarding tho Marquisate is void or not . Ono side argues that it is contrary to public policy , as a kind of peeragebrokerage , offering temptations to attempt , by all or any means , tho obtainment of a Marquisato . This opinion was confirmed by the judgment of ton judges . Baron Alderson and Judge Crompton hold tho contrary opinion , saying that tho law could only look at tho fact , and not judge public policy . Tho caso is boforo tho Houso of Lords , and enlightened by those opinions tho Houso will decido tho question in a few days .
Tho great Braintreo Church-rates caso has boon decided . Tho point was , whether a rate made by tho minority of a vestry ( tho majority having refused to make tho rate ) i « valid . Tho Ho ' uso of Lords has decided that it is not .
