AN INVITATION TO KOSSUTH. At the meeting of the Central Committee, last s i g ht, at 10, Wellington-street, Mr. THOUNTON 1k tee in t h e c hair, the Chairman, upon behalf of the deputation who had carried to Kossuth the invitation of the committee to b e come their guest at a public banquet, delivered the following report o The deputation appointed by the central committee for organising the Kossuth demonstration, waited upon Louis Kossuth, at Southampton, this morning, and had an inter view with him of soine duration. The deputation was in troduced by M. Pulszky. The deputation stated to Louis Kossuth that it attended on the part of a committee com posed prineipally of workmen, among whom the movement tad ori ginated, and by one of whom the address to be resented had been composed. The deputation requested p emission to penitent the address at a public i reeep. Lion of himself in London, and to escort him to the place of his abode there. A copy of the address was pre sented to Louis Kossuth. The deputation further requested hi s acceptance of an invitation to a banquet. Louis Kossuth replied by requesting the deputation to convey his thanks to the working men of London. Ile stated that he honoured Industry ; he himself was a man of the people ; his poliVeal mete had been devoted to elevating the condition of the people. He should be proud of any attention that the working classes of London might please to show him. He thanked the committee for furnishing him with a copy of the address, as his unfumiliatity with the English lan guage made the opportunity of delibera'ely reading it very convenient. As to the invitation to the banquet, he felt at once a difficulty and a question of policy. lie had but a abort time to stay in this country on the present viait, and could not accept all invitations., That was the difficulty. Observing the political victories of the English to be obtained by the aid of assutiations, he desired to suggest the establish ment of an association here to colonic upon the government the policy of non-intervention in full force—abstinence front meddling in the affairs of a fiannien country; but moons panied by the refusal to permit intermeddling on the part of a third country. Ile believed that would lie sufficient to secure the liberties of the peoples of Europe. Ile desired to abstain from mixing in the internal party questions of England. In accordance with these conditions he desired to have an opportunity of stating his views at a meeting not limited to any p arty or class, but including men of political importance. Ile left it to the deputation to say whether their invitation would furnish him an opportunity. 'floc deputation declined the responsibility of advising him on the subject; but represented that at the banquet he would have an opportunity of addressing a larger representation of the staple of the people than he would be likely to obtain at any other gathering. The deputation left Louis Kossuth to consult with his friends, requestiug the favuur 01 an answer as e irly as podia:v. Kossuth promised to folly at the earliest opportunity (understood, this day), and in taking leave of the deputation, in a manner most cordial, renewed his expressions of gratification at the reception with which the deputation de iced to welcome him. The deputation then returned to town without delay.—(Sigind) —THeoliNtoN CHAIELES F. Nteltill.L, A. E. DELA /I:Msg.'. . . . . The Chairman having read the above report, elated that the earnest object of kosoith was to arouse the sympathy of this country iu favour of Hungary, with a view vi renew thi itrugule to her favour, and therefore he was anxious not to offend any parties or choses here, by seeming to Fr hi the sympathy of any other class or party ; at the same time he (the chairniati) did not despair of the accept ance of the invitation of the committee to the banquet, as Koeouth had, .it event*, accepted the demon•tratiou on hi : I, and concurred in a public presentation of the 'Klan la. DARING BURGLARY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN WORCESTERSHIRE. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Steadily, but surely—it would be sacrilege to say merrily—proceeds the work of removal, and the ratio of what remains to what is departed is sensibly diminishing every day. There is, and probably will be to the end of the chapter, the most manifest dlf•rence in this respect between the British departments and the foreign—the pro gress being, for reasons already stated, necessarily much slower in the latter than in the former. Let a visitor take his stand—that is, if he has courage to encounter the spec tacle—in one of the galleries in the west end. On looking ' down, he will see but few left ot all the varied objects which 'so recently fixed his gaze, and an air of silence will be found to pervade a considerable portion of the now gloomy space; whereas, on proceeding to the east, he will find many familiar sights, mingled with a number of foreign exhibitors and their staff, who appear very busy without producing any immediate or very palpable results. The building continues to he visited occasioually by a few persons whose aspect proclaims that they are casting "a longing, lingering look behind." Amongst these was to be seen yesterday the Luke of Devonshire, who stayed for a con siderable time, promenading different portions of the build ing. If he minutely inspected the equestrian statue of the Queen, near the spot where was the attractive fountain, he might have perceived a cobweb—or rather a network of that symbol of decay, stretching from the horse's head to the top of the royal sceptre, and thence to the crown of royalty. When the work of removal is complete some care will be required to prevent this kind of desecration (ruin enwrapping the whole of the interior. At the meeting of the Commissioners on Thursday, at Windsor, the principal objects which, we (horning Chra mete) believe, came under consideration were of a financial character, and had reference mainly to the question of the remuneration to be given to those who have atllirded assis- Mace in carrying out the Exhibition. Tho total amount set apart for this impose is considerable, and such as will enable the Commissioners to reward with a liberaiity which will satisfy alike the public and the reasonable expectations lof those whose. services have so wsll merited reward. Among the sums understood to have been decided upon was one of 5,0001. for Mr. Paxton, fur his design for the building. (This award has already been alluded to in the Express.) A further sum of between 2,0001. and 3,0001. was agreed upon as rewards for the Saps pers employed in the building, and it was recommended that the sum should be expended in the purchase of articles which would be calculated to serve as useful as well as pleasing memorials of the Exhibition. A con siderable sum was also ordered to be placed at tae disposal of Sir Richard Mayne, K.C.8., Commissioner of Police, fur the purpose of its distribution among the members of the police force in attendance at the Exhibition. A sum equal to four weeks' salary was also ordered to be paid to all per- 1 sons whose services might be dispensed with at the close of the Exhibition. The following letter, addressed by Colonel Grey, on behalf of Prince Albert, to the Society of Arts, has already been alluded to: " Windsor Castle ' Oct. 15, 1851. " Sir,—l am commanded by his Royal Highness Prince Albert to request that you will have the goodness to submit the following suggestiou for the cousideratiou of the Council of the Society of Arts. " Connected as the society has been with the originalitle a for the formation of such an exhibition as that which has just closed, and with the preliminary arrangements fur car rying it into elkct, his Royal Highness is sure that they will have taken the warmest interest in its further progress and development, and that they will wish to continue, to a cer lain degree, their connexion with it, by aiding, us far as in them he., in the attainment of those ailvanta s os to art and industry which it was the object of the Exhibition to endea vour to procure "Nothing would tend more, in his Royal Ilighness'sopi- Rion, to the accomplishment of that object than a series of lectures given under the direction of the Society of Arts, at their weekly evening mei:tient-, on the probable bearing of the Exhibition uu the various branches of science, art, and industry. "The lecturer in each branch being selected fur his special knowledge and proficiency in it, it should not be his of ject to show the result, to be expected from ti.e Exhibition on art and industry generally, but its probable immediate effect on the particular subject of his lecture.; and .an this he' should state his opinion freely and without reserve. " Among the subjects of such lectures I may enumerate the fine arts, chymistry us aptilied to manufactures, special processes of manufacture, mechanics, railroad., agriculture , tools and implements, commercial relations, leilitical economy, sze. "Differences of opinion would probahly lac found to exist among the lecturers on these different subjects, as to the effect to be expected from the Exhibition ; but as each lee tuner would confine himself to a particular subject, and give the result of his own reflections ou that subject only, this would be of little importance. " Such lectures could nut fail to direct attention most be neficially to these important studies ; and hi. royal high ness believes that the Society of Arts, in instituting them, would be adopting the surest method of turning the Exhi bition to good account, and would still further identife themselves with a scheme which had for its object, not Ric gratification of a passing curiosity, lent the continued im provement and advancement of science, art, and industry. " I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " George Grove, Ro t ." .• C. once. With reference to this letter the Council on Monday last, passed the following n.seolutions : " That the Council heartily affirm his Royal Highness's recognition of their having taken the warmest interest in the progress and development of the Exhibition, and of their wish to continue their connection with it. °LOB l'ltY, FRIDAY. This busy mineral district has just been startled by a burglary, with accompany ing violence, as atrocious in Its character, although not :is immediately fatal in its eon menswears, as the sanguinary occurrence at Frimley some fifteen months ago. :Some three quarters of a mile out of this town, no the road to Halesowen, there stands one of those dreary-looking farm-houses, or Large cottages, which are to be seen only in a manufacturing or mineral district ; desolate and cheerless in all respects, without any of that inviting scenery or peaceful retirement which contributes an greatly to charm a country life. Here, almost in the midst of a vast coal field, surrounded Ity ironworks and manufactories, the smoke from which blight* the grass no it terowo, the burglar has invaded the habitation of the sick and helpless, committing slatiliter and pillage where peace and contentment existed b e f ore. _ . is the farm-house to which we have referred there re sided a maiden lady named Nicklin, in good circumstances, *ow sixty years of age. ller companions were her 'sick brother, about five-and-forty, and a niece about rotate...li pars of age. On Wednesday night the household retired to rest as usual, making fast all the doors. About 2 o'clock in the morning Mr. Nicklin was awoke by a noise in his room before he could move he received a violent blow on th. head with a bludgeon. This stunned him fur several minutes, but as soon as his MIMS returned he saw two men at iniling by his bed-side with blackened faces, and • eh: tithe thrown over their ordinary attire. The poor man instantly raised himself in Ili, bed, and crawled out of it as well as he could fur the purpose of defending himself. lm • mediately that he did so, two pistols were tired; the eine tents of one struck his check, and the idler his ann. life fell instantly, and the ruffians at once proceeded to other parts of the house. They entered the room where Miss Nicklin mitt her niece were sleep ing : the lady had been awoke by the noise, but in the confusion of her intellect consequent on Ix ing just aroused from her slumls-rs, she imagined that the noise was caused by the arrival of another m:anber of the family who had been expected at the house that night; the burglats soon convinced her to the contrary ; they commenced a search of the apartments, every part of which, and every piece of furniture they ransacked, the burglars threatening the lives of these two poor females as they lay in bed if the moved. Having possessed themselves of two or three bank notes, six or seven sovereigns and mime silver spoons, the men went up to the bedside, and culled upon Miss Nicklin to deliver up her money • terrified at the horrible threats with which the scoundrel% accompanied their demand, the prior woman pointed to her pocket, which was immediately ILed and ransacked, and very shortly afterwards the rotten went down stairs ; here they instituted another search, and that concluded, they sat down and regaled themselves with such refreshments as the house afforded, mud stayed there nearly two hours. During this time the slightest symptom of any moeentent on the part of the unfortunate people up stairs eared forth a shout from the burglars, that they would Seidl them if they moved. louring the whole of this time poor Mr. Nicklin lay on the floor, by his bedside, weltering in his blood, situ in cipa!de, tram the injuries lie had received, of giving any slain. or suet:toning himself in any way. Indeed, cense-- vent on the loss of blood he had sustained, life must hate been all this time ebbing so rapidly, that baud not assistance been speedily rendered, he must have died on the spot. The night, however, began to o.ar away, and with it came the departure of the ruf fians from the house. The terror of these poor females may be conceived when they found their unfortuate relative in a pool of blood struggling with death. An alarm was given at once to the nearest house, mud at five o'clock in the Morning assistance was procured. Medical aid came from thdbury and West Bromwich, and the "thee from beeh places and from Birmingham were soon on the sj..t, but at present no traces of the burglars have been dm:peered. Mr. Nicklin was rescued front immediate death, but he still remains in such a state that it is nut expected he can recover. The pistols were boded with slats, one of them baring been found in the wall of the apartment. l'ortions I of the unfortunate man'. jaw and several of his teeth were found about the apartment. The house where this burglary was committed is situ ated in a very retired spot, and so far favoured the plans of those concerned in this most brutal and diabolical utie. The house was entered through the front window of the parlour, aa it approached from the rood. A reward of filly pounds has already been offered for the discovery of the offenders. The scene of this crime is a short distance from the hills in the Rowley coal-field, and about two-and-a-half miles to the left of West Bromwich, which stands on the high road Guru Birmingham to Wolverhampton. " That they receive with gratitude his Royal Highness's letter, as a mark of his confidence that the society may be made an instrument for perpetuating many of the beneficial results originated by that event.

'flit Orris Ana Ir 1)v..v4 Follf.sr.—A few days ago we reported the circumstances attending a violent out tags which hail been committed at Mitcheldean, in the Forest of Dean, on an inoffensive turnpike keeper, whose Offence was that he had had some of his poultry stolen, and that he had given evidence against the thief before the local magistrates. It will be remembered that the gatekeeper (whose name is Hartland) was shut at by some villain and dangerously wounded in the lower part of his person, so that he was not expected to survive the dreadful injuries which he had received. Five men were apprehended on suspicion of being concerned in the outrage, viz., William Young (who was the party suspected of stealing Hart laaif; fowls, and who was at large on bail), his two sous, Amos and William Young, his son-in-law John Williams, and another man, named Joseph Probyn. These Parties have undergone their examination before the magistrates at the Littledcan House of Correction, awl at length the inquire has now just terminated in the committal of two of them. The evidence was very voluminous, and fur the most part of a circumstantial character. It was proved that some of the parties were seen together on the night of the outrage, but the older prisoner, William Young, and his sou were sworn to posi tively as having beAi seen under a tree near Hartland's house only a few minutes before the shot was tired, and another witness saw the same men running away from the direction of the turnpike almost immediately aftaenards. A gun band was found in the pocket of a man named William, who deposed that he picked it up near Young's lonise, and was about to hand it to Mrs. Young when a po tty, man was observed approaching, and she prayed " b ,r God's sake to put it out of sight." The gun haul re mutly been discharged, and proved to he one that a man named Critehley hail lent to Amos Young. Some slugs were found in Wm. Young's nail shop, with some genus si'm taps and gunpowder. The iron work, screws, &e., belonging to a gun stock, were also (mind in the ashes at Youngs', house, while a disguise was found in his garden. As' pant at a public-house also proved that when ‘Cm. Young was charged with fowl stealing lie threatened to serve out Hartland." The result was that Wm. and Ana Young were committed for trial. The others were ui,harged. (Ilom the Dn., Roiwier.) The mode in which her Majesty's intentions were communicated to Mr. Paxton greatly enhances the value of the favour she has been pleased graciously to confer. We have had an opportunity of reading the letter in which those intentions were communicated to Mr. Pacten by Lord John Russell, and the terms in which that doeunient is cntehed are eo honourable to all parties, that, as a matter of simple justice, we have obtained the permission of Sir Joseph Paaton to place the letter before our readers and the public : October 15th, 1851: "My dear Sir,—l have gnat satisfaction m intorming you that the Queen has been pleased to declare her inten tion of conferring upon Tou the honour of knighthood. The success of the Great b.shibition bas been very much owing to your able and ingenious design of the building usually denominated the Crystal I'alace. And your name I will be for ever connected with one of the most marvellous enterprises of an age as remarkable fur invention and dis covery. It is in consideration of your distinguished merit that the Queen has resolved to bestow on you this mark of her royal favour. "I remain, my dear sir, yours, very faithfully, J. RUSSELL."

LORD ABERDEEN ON CHURCH EXTENSION. On Tuesday afternoon it public meeting was held in the County-room, of Aberdeen, in furtherame of a pros jest for raising front 300,000 , . to 400,0001. towards the build- Mg of new churches., with a view to their being endowed in ' connexion with the cstablinhed church of Scotland. The hall was crowded by a highly respectable audience., and the chair wan occupied by the Eurl of Aberdeen. There were ' also on the platform the Right Hoa. Lord Haddo, the flight Han. Lord James hay, Sir John Forbes, Bart., the lion. Admiral Gordon, M.P., the Lord Provost of the city, the Ike. Principal Dewar, of Mariselial College, tho lice. Dr. Robertson, of Edinburgh, &e. The Earl of ABERDEEN, after a few opening remark, said, the first question I oak myself is, whether this move ment of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is necessary and called fur by the wants and actual condition of the people. Now, without going into any very minute details, I think the mention of a few facts will con vince you that such is really the case, and that we are con strained by niany considerations of duty and interest to I give it our best support. I shall nut prohably he thought guilty of exagametion or blinded by national partiality if I say that Scotland, for a long series of years, has been eminently distinguished among the nations of Europe for the moral, religion., and intellectual culture of its people. This has been generally asid indeed maternally admitted ; but can we say that such is the case at the present moment? I greatly fear we have no such claim to any such dis tinction, and that we are living on our former reputa. two. It an true that the population of this country has greatly increased, and that it has brought a great increase of material prosperity and wealth; but I grieve to my that the increase of crime lean been greatly beyond the proportion of the increase of population. I find that during the loot 20 years the increune of crime has been six or seven times in an increased ratio to that of the population. By recent calculations made in Glasgow and Edinburgh, it is found that in those two cities alone there are not less than 150,000 of our countrymen living without any connexion with any denomination of Christians whatever. Our populoun towns and parishes ar e p ro b a bl y i n no very different condition, mid it has been assumed that more than 300,000 of the pepulation of this country are living without God in the world. This is certainly a prospect that cannot fail to give uneasiness to every well-wisher of his country. Ido not think that the increase of crime lis to be met effectually by severe laws and punish went.; the remedy must be sought for elsewhere. Again, I may observe, with respect to the condition of the people, I recillect, in the course of last session of parliainent, a noble friend of mine made a statement in the House of Lords which, at the time, appeared to me utterly incredible. The Duke of Argyll stated that in Scotland alone the amount of ardent spirits eonsumed wan 7,000,000 gallons, thereby silos,. ing niore than tune gallons for every mass, woman, and child in the kingdom. Doubts being expressed as to this statement, reference was made to official documents, when it was proved that my noble friend was perfectly correct. Now, you will see that, when the necessary deduction in made on necount art those who take nu part in this consumption, it leaves I such a state of intemperance as, I believe, was never wit nesstil in any eivolitied country in the world. And I need nut remind you that this degrading vice necessarily leads to, and is the fertile source of, outra2e, violence, and crime. This state of matters presents a prospect which is anything but satisfactory to a well-wisher of his country. But thin is nut the worst; it is found that a very large proportion of persons are living without any regard to religious obser vance*, and not connected with any religious denomina tion. This is deplorable, even as I have now stated the ex tent to which it exists; but it is not the worst; for recently there has been a system of diabolical activity exhibited in the circulation of immoral and irreligious publications among the people, producing not only the mere, absence of attention to religious observances, and creating iniliffenmee to the most named truths, but actually establishing and confirming infidelity and unbelief. Undoubtedly. the cure of these evils is closely connected with the system of educa tion to be established and improved in thin country, lam not disoosed to say anything further on this subject than this, that, without undervaluing the advantages of secular instruction, if the heat is to be Pouched, as it must be, the sanctions of religion will be found to Iw:indispensable. (Applause.) No doubt, in the effort to build up churches the tltbrie has to be provided; rind I apprehend that no voluntary system of exertion will be found effectual. It is !necessary to establish the churches, and to afford the ministrations of devoted, faithful, and affectionate pas tors, before these evils C:111 be removes', and our moral wastes cultivated. It is certainly to the establishment of such churches we arc to look as the effectual remedy for the evils of which I have attempted to give you a description. The scheme of the General Aneembly, which is to he brought before you this day is eminently calculated to effect this our poae, and I should say that to the indefatigable exertions of my rev. friend, Dr. Robertson, this scheme is indebted for the prospect of success which now attends the undertaking. (Applause.) I most sincerely hope that he may live to see this great work completed, and his efforts rewarded as they &nerve. (Renewed applause.) I presume that those whom I Mine now the honour of addressing are either members of the church of Scotland, or friendly to the interests of the national establishment. It is not, however, in the spirit of any exclusive or sectarian feeling I now speak. Thin is truly a catholic work, and it is one in which every denomi nation of Christians may heartily concur. I rejoice to see the established church taking the lead in a work of thin description; hut I would say God speed to any one who, in sincerity and truth, will co-operate in a work so necessary and so much to be desired. (Applause.) Now, I have only one word snore to say, and I approach it with awe and reverence. I cannot regard this meet ing as a demonstration of a politic or economic cha racter; it has fur its object the glory of God, and the eter nal welfare of our fellow-men. We have been told that " righteousness exaltcth a nation." It is most true that as a nation we have enjoyed great blessings. We have been favoured far, very far, beyond our deserts. Let us show our gratitude by endeavouring to do that which we believe to be pleasing in the sight of the Almighty. We have already prayed fur His blessing ; and, if we prosecute His work with seal, and carry it out in the spirit of charity and love, may we not bring down increased blessings on our country, and upon ourselves the light of His countenance ? " Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord; blessed are the people who are in such a case." (The concluding remarks were de livered by his lordship with great feeling, and were warmly responded to. The noble lord resumed his scat amid hearty applause.) Different other speakers addressed the meeting, and re solutions were messed in favour of the scheme. The follow ing subscriptions were also intimated :.—The Ear. of Aber deen (additional), 1001. ; the Earl of Crawford and Bal came, 1001. ; Sir James Carnegie, Bart., of Southesk, 1001.; Mr. Dyee Nicol, of Ballogie, 1001. ; Lord Haddo, 501. RACIDULA. MIL MECRI ON AGRICULTURE. At the Saffron Walden Agricultural Society's din ner, on Wednesday, Mr. Mechi, in proposing the health of the judges of the day, spoke as follows respecting the pre- sent condition and future prospects of agriculturists: After alluding to the delightful bond of union that existed , between Lord Braybrooke, his family, and the neighbour hood, he said they bad heard something of the difficult po sition of the agriculturists, which meant, he supposed, the position of the landlord, the tenant, and the labourer; and also, as was observed by Lord Hardwicke, of the tithe- I owner and the government. There were five parties concerned, but they would allow him to invert the order and begin with the labourer, because he thought indus try was the parent of capital, and the labourer was the foundation of agricultural operations. (Cheers.) Now, the) were here to eine:lk the truth; and he believed, from all the inquiry he had been able to make, that the eau ditiun of the agricultural labourer wits most satisfactory. Ile was not alluding to the state of the pinue rates, because he knew the low price of produce had a tendency to di minish rates ; but he said the labourer was in a prosperous (audition. Why was it so? (Marks of dissent.) lie should be happy to hear an objection, but he stated what he believed to be the truth, and why he believed it was this: In Essex the ordinary esimate el a labourer's week's wages was the value of a bushel of dour; that had been the general rule of action, and as the price of the bushel of flour now was as 6J., and he heard they were giving 7s. lid. a week in this neighbourhood, and in his own neighbourhood they gave Bs. and beer, it showed that the labourer was better off. (A person exclaimed, "The wages arc not so high.") lie knew there were smite gave 6s. bid., some is. 6.1., some Bs. and 93.; and probably the average would be about Os. or is. lid. Well, then, it must be quite clear that wages being 7s. lid., the labourer must be in a better state, and he was sure they were all delighted that it was so. (Hear.) Now, he went from the labourers to the tenants; he knew this was ticklish ground, and in the first place he must state that the law price of the tamers' produce—he meant of corn, fur meat was dear enough— certainly entitled him to all the deductions iu the coat of his productiens that ha could fairly claim. They knew the great items in that cost were rent, labour, tithe, and go vernment taxation. New they could nut complain particu larly about lairour ; lie did not think they did, and the labourer was well off; but he did think that rent should be reduced, if they were to have permanently a low price of corn, to eumenting like a fair proportion to the price of their produce. (Cheers.) lie believed in many cases that had nicest done, and in many other caner where it had not been done, it would be done, either from the good 'tense mid calculation of the proprietors eh:met:lves, or from tine stern force of compulsion and necessity. (Hear, hear.) lie came now to the tithe, Ball the clergy would find to their sorrow that they would sink or swim with the farmer; but the fanners must recollect that if they were paying the tithe rent-charge on a high price now, they had Oita mice, and were bound to pay on it. lie did not say whether it was right or wrung to ha the charge on so high a scale, but he wished the tithe were higher on the haulers, be cause it proved that they had hail more, and they should all be sorry to see it so low next year. Then they came to the landlord, end in reference to this point he telt they were iu a cumperatively happy district, for lie was sure the landlords he SAW there were too much urea of business to expect their tenants to pay their rent out of capital ; but if the tenants gut a proportionate reduction, he did nut think they would be so Inanity off. (" Hear," and dissent.) They heard a deal about agricultural ruin. Now, in com merce, when they heard a man was ruined, when they looked fur him he was gone, and his name was in the Gazelle, but when he (Mr. al.) came here, he still saw the same happy faCeS. (No, no.) lie did nut say all, but he saw a great many that he had seen before continuing in the same tenure. (A voice, "Not happy.") He could only say that he recognised those much honoured names, the Clay-dons, and the - ebbs, and the Junkie's, as being still there, and lung might they remain. But Inc would nut hear of their being ruined, because he did not believe it to be the case. (A Voice," Where is the balance sheet)") In reference to that he would only say that in the course of a few weeks, at the request of the Society of Arts, he eliould lay before them a copy of hiS books, and he had no doubt many would be happy to see he had lost sonic money, if it should be so ; they a ould then be made happy for once. (Laughter.) But at all events, last year he had a valuation of his property—a very anti-factory one to him as a landlord —and this year they should have it as a tenant; but Inc would nut unticipate, and till the neat month he hoped they would restrain their impatience. (Hear.) The questions had been asked—has agriculture dune her duty ? Ile denied that she had. If he took the state of cultiva tion in Cambridgeshire, he should feel happy on the subject of agriculture, because they had there men of great ability and great capital, who were an honour to their country in itariculture, and he honestly believed they were nut losing money. (Hear, hear) nut let them look at the general state of the country ; go from one county to ano ther and look at the reports on farming iu the different counties of the kingdom, and lie said that the almost univer sal complaint was, that good farming was the exception, and bad farming was the rule. (No, no.) lie excepted parts of Norfolk and Cantbridgeshire, but when they spoke of the whole kingdom, they spoke of Ire land, Scotland, and England, and if they had read the reports on the farming of the different counties, he thought as „honest men they must come to the convictions that however high the agriculture et this country might stand as compared with other nations, generally it was low compered with that perketion which existent in parts of this country. Let them recollect it was their duty to im prove it. Look at what the manufacturers were doing : and manufactures were essential to their success. Ile had had at his farm this year crowds al foreigners teem all parts of the world ; he bad talked with them upon the subject, and as to labour, he had gone into a comparison of its cost, both as to the money paid and the work done, and he could prove to them that the labour of England, taken by the quantity of work, was as cheap as any, if not the cheap est in the world. There was a fact for Mr. Jonas to look at. (Laughter.) He believed, therefore, so tar as foreign labour went, they had noti.ing to fear. Then, as to the manufactures, trade, and commerce of this coutare, let them look at the advantages the agriculturists; poeneased from these. lie had said to these foreigners, " What do you do with your corn ?" and they said, " We send it to England ; we cannot :dieted to eat it ourselves, and we send it to you ; it is with meat the same, it is half the price because we have no one to sell it to;" and the aariculturists in this country would be in the same state if they had not a district which afforded a market to send their turn to. lie sent his corn to the manufacturing district ; and therefore the greater the union between them the better for those two interest', and the happier for the country at large. (Cheers.) Then apint, look to the difference in practice in agriculture in different parts of the country. There was as much as 21 per cent. difference, and this in any manufac ture would cause its entire removal from one part to another, and he did not know whether If per cent. would not do it. Essex, for instance, ploughed with two horses, and atonal pre-eminent fur ploughing, while in some other counties they used six in a line ; and having appealed to a surveyor in Herts on the subject, he sent hint the allowances made there for the ploughing on heavy land, and he found the first ploughing 135., the second 11s., the third 10s., and the fourth 83. ; and he be lieved there were four ploughings for wheat. (A Voice— s' I don't believe it— it is not generally the ease.") Ile gave no names, but this letter was dated from Herts lest week. Then let them look at the extraordinary dis crepancy as to the form and size of the fields, and the system of management. Look at Norfolk and Cambridge &ire, and they saw large fields. He knew a farm in Norfolk of 1,000 acres in only four fields ; he went into Devonshire, and he found there • farm that • gentleman told him the tenant had left, and he could not let it, and' on inquiry what it was, he said it was a farm of 67 acres, and there were 27 fields. Thus he had 27 gates to open, had got 27 headlands, and 27 hedges full of trees, sod then the tenant could not live. (Hear.) Was that a solitary instance? lie appealed to a noble lord there, whether he did not know one whole parish in which there was an average of three-acre fields? Then what eon &mien could they draw, but that agriculture was in • nest backward state, as compared to manufactures and Wade. This must be amended. He heard of landlords who could not let their farms, heavy undrained land ; and when they were told to keep stock on it, could they, he would ask, keep stock on heavy land in winter, unless they bad buildings to put it in? Then there were landlords who did not like to cut down their timber. But all this must come to an end before they could go to the country and show they had dense their duty as agriculturists—and by agricul turists he meant the landlord, the tenant, and the labourers. ' Therefore, he said, let them go to the country with clean ' hands, and be sure they had done their duty before they complained. (Hear.) Then as to the management of their stock—he did not speak of the men there, for he called them the Napoleons of farming, and he said if all the country was farmed as Cambridgeshire was, the foreigner could not put his head in with his foreign corn. (Hear.) He believed they would have to produce corn as the manufacturer did his cotton ; for the manufacturer sold to them at one time for 3s. Oil. that which he now sold to them at 64., and got a better profit. How was that done ? Not by the old clumsy system of weaving by hand; but let them look to what had been done in m inufacturce, to the capital invested in machines, nut only to make the article, but to make the machinery, as shown in the Great Ex• hibition. Then he said to the agriculturists, compare your own clumsy mechanical contrivances with this, and I do say agriculture is far behind in its application of steam power, in drainage, in fences, and rim bee—your buildings are badly placed, and before you can produce the article at a cheap price, and in abundant quantity, you must remedy all these things. With respect to taxation, he thought it did nut require any conjuror to show that they bought all their things at the cheapest rase. " No, no.'') Why, his lady bought two beautiful dresses the other day for is. 10d., and he bought an umbrella the day before yesterday for 181, a very good one. (Laughter.) He stated this to show that the expenses of the farmer were reduced in • great degree by the articles imparted for his use. (Hear.) One word as to himself. It might or might not be fortunate that he was connected with agricul ture ; but he bought some tarms,and binding them undrained, awl the buildings tumbling down, he said tu the tenana" Pay me a fair per tentage , and I will do all that is requ ired. The tenant said the farm was poor, and would not pay for it ; to which he replied, "Then give it up, and 1 will do it myself." He did do it himself—and let them remember that the more capital they got from manufactures to lay out on azriculture, the more corn they would get, the more ! labour they would employ, and the less pauperism they i would have—and he could only soy that the expenditure of his money in agricultural pursuits was a thing he should never regret. He did not at all admit that good drainage, the removal of fences, and other things of this kind were wiyirolitable, but if they were, ho said the satisfaction wait TO TEE EDITOR OF THE EIFIIESS.

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning the body of a young man, named Robert Collins, was found lying in a pond in White Horse Fields, Shepherd's Bush, with the throat severely cut. Information was given to Sergeant Lowe, No. 32 T division, and he immediately assisted in dragging the body from the water. The deceased appeared to have only been in the water a short time, and his clothes were saturated with blood. Sergeant Lowe and a con•tuble searched the place, and found a jacket lying upon the ground within a few yards of the pond, which was also covered with blood. They were unable to discover any knife or sharp instrument by which the wounds upon the throat had been inflicted. Two shillings were found in the clothes of the deceased, but no letters or papers that would give any explanation of the cause of the rash act. It is supposed that the deceased first cut his throat with some sharp instrument, which he afterwards threw away, and then ran some distance to the pond, where he threw himself in, after he hid thrown his jacket upon the ground. Sergeant Lowe, on making inquiries about the deceased, found that he had been in the employ of Mr. Hoop, the contractor, of Kensington. lie was a single man, and about 22 years of age. The sergeant could tind no cause for the deceased committing self-destruvion. The body was removed to a neighbouring public-house to await a coroner's inquest. SPORTING.

The weather was beautifully fine; the stands were well filled, though there were not so many ladies as at the Sunday meeting. Within the cords there were a great number of carriages and horsemen, and with out them a goodly assemblage of the more ordinary class of spixtutors. The stands of the members of the Jockey Club, and of gentlemen who take a peculiar interest in racing, were crowded. Th7Manpiis of Normanby was amongst the distinguished personaircs present; as were also Prince Murat, the Minis ters of Foreign Attiirs, Justice, and Finance, the Prefect of Police, and General Magnan, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Paris.

In the second heat the start was good ; at the bridge Mars went away with the running, with La Cloture in wait ing. At the Ecule, La Cloture joined Mars, and they ran pretty nearly together to the top of the hill in the last round, when St. Germain began to gain ground. La Cloture soon passed Mars, and St. Germain followed. A good race then ensued between L Cloture and St. Germain, and the former won by a neck. St. Germain would, however, have won easily, if, at the bridge., he had not su..tained some injury in his oil leg. For the third heat, for which only LA Cletnre and Mars presented themselves, there was no race, a divi sion of the stakes having been agreed on—the owner of La Cloture receiving 1,0006., the owner of Mars 2,0001 r.

Tho question of the improvement of the harbour had been token into consideration, and a memorial hail been forwarded to the Governor of New Zealand. With regard to the coun try. it had been pronounced favourably situated for the pro duction of wooL•and the attention of the settlers had keen directed to the point. The ititelligence of the gold mania at Sydney had reached Lyttleton, and under such eireum . stances agricultural produce was conaidt rest likely to in:tin , tain its price. The surplus stores from the Brume and the Steadfast had brat brought forward at auction, and had realised an extraordinary advance on tho last a des of tke kind. Flour fetched front 80s. to 82s. Gil. for the 2001 b. cask. The latest aveoutite front Wellington stated that, owing to debates in the Legislative Council, the proposed duty of I/. per ton ou imported Hour had been remitted for one year. Inc extra duty of Is. per gallon upon spirits had been ennlirmeil, ant would, it was said, include all spirits in bond. Vs Provincial Councils PM ;was under consi deration. The prices of domestic provisions at Lyttleton ranged as follows :—Pirst Wow, 40a. per 100:b.; bread, 9d. per 2lb. loaf; beef, 7tl. to Bd.; mutton, 7d. to 5.!,; and. pork. 7d. tier lb.; fresh butter, 2s. per lb.; potatoes, H. 10s. per ton; eggs, 3s. per duzen ; and cheese (New Zealand), ls. 3.1. per lb. PENALTY UNDER TOE PATENTED DESIGN 4 ACT. —Yesterday, at the Manchester Borough Court, an applica tion was made on behalf of Messrs. Yates, Heywood, and Co., stove-grate manufacturers, of Rotherham, fur a penalty against Mr. Wagon Rye, iron -founder, in Collyhurst, fur infringing one of their patents. Mr. De hare, solicitor, appeared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Francis Robinson, soli citor, for the defend int. Mr. Do Lora said the present information was laid under the 7th section of .5 X 6 Vict., cap. 100—an act for the protection of persons who havo registered designs and patents. The plaintiffs were carrying on an extensive huskies', and in the course ore year expended as much as 3,0001. in making and issuing fresh patterns of stoves. They had been great sufferers for some time past, by the infringement of their designs by other parties. The case which he was about to bring before the court was a gross abuse of a privilege which the legislature had thought proper to grant, and also a great injury to parties who ex pended capital in the full conviction that they were pro tected by act of parliament. Ile therefore went for a full penalty in the first case,—for he was in a position to prove no less than 1:1 offences against the act nit the part of Mr. Rye. Whether they should preecel with the other cases would depend upon the decision of the bench in the first, and upon the course taken by the defendant. Mr. De Lora then called witnesses, who proved that on the 6th May last Mr. Rye, the defendant, pur chases' a move.grate hum Messrs. J. M. and W. Leigh, ironmonger, of Market-street, fur which he paid 13s. lid. The grate was manufactured by the plaiutilfs, who supplied Messrs. Leigh, and the design of which was registered. Mr. Rye ordered the grate to be sent to his house, at No. 19, opposite Collyhurd-bridge. A porter in the employ of Messrs. Leigh took the grate there, and saw is lady who told hint they did not want the stove there, he must take it to Mr. Rye a foundry, which was about 200 yards off. Thinking this was a strange circumstance, the man told the salesman at Messrs. Leigh's, on his return, that he had taken the grate to a foundry. A suspicion was at once aroused that it was intended to pirate the pat tern, and the plaintiffs were speedily informed of the matter. Mr. Bryan, one of Messrs. Yates's travellers, took thu earliest opportunity of paying a visit to Mr. Rye's foundry, where he was shown a number of stove grates precisely similar in pattern to the ono which Mr. Rye had pur chased, but much inferior in the casting. Mr. Bryan or• dared several of these stoves, and paid Gs. Bd. each for thou. Mr. De Lars contended that the shopkeeper could have no chance in computitioa with parties who by pirating the designs of other makers, were able to sell doves of the same pattern at less than half the price of the original article. Mr. Rye had rendered himself :iable to a penalty both for applying thu pattern and selling the spurious article. Mr. Robinson , in reply, did not attempt to rebut the charge by evidence, but said the defendants would go to a higher court to determine whether this wits a properly registered design.

CLEANSING BY STREET OttuEnms.—The report of the surveyor of the City Sewers Commission on the sys. tem of cleansing by street orderlies has been published; front it we gather that while tho average cost of dusting and cleansing for the lust ten years was, from Michaelmas, 1841 to 1843, 3,4301. 2s. did. per annum; 1844 and 1845, 3,3291. 17s. ad. • and Itifi to 18•41 (all inclusive), 6,7881. 11s. Gd. ; ;he expense of cleansing the whole of the City carriage-way upon the street-orderly system, esti. mated according to the experiences of the experiment made in 1845-6, would have come to an annual stun of 42,0,121. From this report it appears that the total area of the car riage-way of the City of London was at that time 418,000 square yards, and the area of the foot-way 316,000 squaro yards, making a total of 731,000 square yards. THE AUGMENTATION OF DUTIES ON COTTON MA rturacmtEs shipped to India has given great dissatisfac tion to the trade, awl n d• potation of the Manchester Commercial Association was appointed on Thursday to wait upon the directors of the East India Company ou tho subject.

The following is an retract front a private letter, dated Auckland, Sew Zealand, regarding the conduct of the home Government on the subject of steam communication .. ..the Oliver Cromwell made the passage from Auckland to Valparaiso in 28 days, and had the good fortune to get in in time to save the Panama steamer (whose mails acre deli. vered in London on the 23rd of January last. We have always advocated this route for the colonies; what better proof of its eligibility do we need than this? But, eligible or not, it gestalt we arc to have no voice in routes at all. Owing to the delay and bandying about of tenders by the home government, everything else is swallowed up in tho question of the getting steam communication in any way, instead of endeavouring to accelerate the great object by the quickest and safest line.
