The mayor of Dartmouth, 11. B. Baker, presided. Mr. Mu at's address lasted upward., of two hours. The Iwo. waettiber eommcurcd by a reierence to the great ques tim of the. session —the papal at;tricesion. lle lamented that toll muds time hail been ocimpied in disenesing a measure se bah, in his opinion awl in the opinion of al trite majority of the legislature, hail been reach. re et uccesesiry by the attack of the l'ulle on the Queen's supremacy. Ile urged the necessity of mainteining that supremacy intact, because both the supremacy of the Queen and the prerogatives of ptirlimneut were safeguards of the people's 'hullo,. lie leering to other measures, lie regretted that the emancipa tiou of the Jews had been frustrated by the House of Lords, and that so few of the reforms promised or the commence meat of the session hail been accomplished. '1 hey had, however, a pledge from Lord John Russell, that a large measure of reform should be introduced next session. lie thought such a measure highly necessary, and wan prepared to advocate a great extension of the suffrage, no pro perty qualification fur member., and the ballot, but be was not an advocate for shortening the duratiun of parikement. Ile next referred to the question of fres, trade and the distress alleged to lie existing among the the agriculturists. Ile was nut prepared to admit the existence of so much distress as was stated by the 'irony tionists, Mill will less did he believe that • return to protec tion would be lanslicial to the country. Ile adduced a variety of statistii s to show that agriculture in Ireland was improeing, and that the agricultural interest in this country was successfully meeting foreign competition. The cry was equally loud some three or four years since that free trade had ruined the sugar colonies ; then it was predicted with the greatest confidence that the cultivation of sugar must be entirely abandoned, a, the foreigu-grown sugars from slave-owning emintrie, would beat the British colonist out Maw market. But time had shown that these predic tion, were entirely unfounded, and the produce of sumer from our colonies darner the last year lead Mere:teed 20 per cent. above that of 1811, whilst so great hail been the con sumption, that though the duties had been so materially re duced, the revenue had nut suffered. lie nest referred to the Navigation Laws, his observations on this sub.ect— Dartmouth being as ancient mercantile port—were listened to with the greatest interest by those of his constituents tootticuAl with shipping. Be showed the operation of the reciprocity treaties, and alluded to • fact nut generally known, that the gover iiiiii las of the North of Europe haul two or three years siucegiveu noticee to our government that these treaties should deteriWne in 18d!. We had endeavoured to maintain restrictions which they had abandoned, and had we not repealed the navigation laws these powers would have reimposed restrictions ou US which the Ameri cans would be free from, sad thus a great portion of our carrying trade would hate paned into the hands of our rival SikeiO &WI Frallet still enforced rigid protection fur their shipping, but the miserable state of the commercial marine of these countries taßred us no inducement to follow their example. Be read extracts Irons the Wand of trade returns, and from P. turn, published by the Unites! States. These returns showed that though it hal been anticipated that America would, fruiu it, proximity, absorb pearly the whole of our trade with the West India colo nies, they had dune but little more that' main tain their ground. As to the general carrying trade, the bun. member referred to the fact that six American peso-s, Wdeu with tea from China, bad entered our docks, and he also pointed out that ail English vessels with tea from China had arrived at New York, a fact which showed that we compzte with America in the China track, notwith standing that that country had California at its sack. In conclusion the honourable- member declared his unflinching adherence. to free trade and a cheap loaf, and his opposition to a live shilling date, and avowed his intention of offering himself as a eltbdltlitte on these principles at the next election. A vote of thanks and a pledgo to support the bun. mem ber waa paned 111131210111UPly. Several of the leading refinmers of the borough spoke with great allergy, opal the nulling, which throughout had been mug enthusisatia, terminated about ten o'clock. J.ivraroot.

Our Dublin correspondent, writing yesterday, says : The most alarming statement which has yet ap peared about the return of the potato blight is that contained in the following letter, addressed to the Ereoing Post, by Mr. Kincaid, of the eminent firm of Stewart, Pim, and Kincaid, land agents. lie writes as follows : Dear Sir,—l am sorry to say the potatoes are gone. I have been in dilferent parts of Ireland, and over very many farms within the last fortnight, and have watched the potato crop most closely, and up to Thursday last I thought all was sate, but on that day, fur the first time, I saw the first partial appearance of the disease in the county and yesterday, when in the north of the county Dahlia, I saw, unfortunately, not merely partial indications of it, but whole fields attested, and precisely the same general apoearanees as in 18-19 and 18.50. I obtained yesterday some diseased stalks that were green and sound int Wed nesday last, mid I have now in my office diseased tubers taken out of the same field, in which there were, how ever, many stalks quite gone, the tubers at the roots of which were perfectly sound. The disease may be (sul dered as having commenced generally last week, and is spreading slowly and gradually. I ant not an alarmist, and my interests are all the other way, but I think at right to give the public this early intimation of another visitation, in order that as far as possible it may be antici pated and provided against.-1 am, &c., J. KINCAID. Leinster-street, Auguat 12, 18:1I. This, it must be confessed, is a most gloomy ac count of the prospects of this ill-fated crop; but a good deal may be said that will qualify and diminish the alarming character of the picture. The disease hub unquestionably assumed a form different in many respects from that which it exhibited in former years. This season it has set in much later than hitherto, and appears so fur to be confined to a great extent to the haulms of the plants. Where the blight has ap peared the haulms present the usual blackened ap pearance, and have decayed to the very root, yielding , to the slightest effort to pull them up, but in most cases the potatoes are perfectly bound, and seem to be more matured, healthy, mid nutritious than they have been for several years isist at this period of the season. The l'ref•mou's Jo/wpm! says: The revived trace. or the old type ore limited in cadent, and by nu meauseshibit the same rapid and destructive virulence that characterised the original disease. A single week heretofore sufficed to cover whole counties with blackened fields, whereas the preseut disease creeps on slowly, and only in a few instances have we heard of that peculiarly otfeusive smell arising from the putridity of the stalk, on I lee well authenticated proofs of the extension of the disease to the tubers. From a gentleman in the county of Wexford we had a letter, in which he deseribes the potato there as utti ply gone, while the accounts contained us the local papers are nearly as discouraging. 'the Norgheni 'him of yesterday has the fallow ing remarks on this subject : :some alarm weans to prevail in parts of the country, re specting the potato disease, sonic symptoms of which have again shown themselves. We must acknowledge that in stances of a partial blight have come under our own cogni zance, but they are by no means of a nature calculated to . give ground tut alarm. It should be remembered that, in harmer Tears, the blight appeared in all its inteibity earner in the ',soon than this, whilst, as yet, it has made but a very partial appearance. A disease of this kind cam uut die out at niece, its departure must be slow ; and, if it was less iutense iast year than in previous years, it is encouraging to know that it is stiff loci hewer, this time. A correspndent, writing to us on the subject, says : Ever since the potato failure of 1846, I have watched the growing crop with great interest, and it has Men baths factory to observe, in each year, 'gradual diminution of the intensity of the disease. The alarm, however, has been diffi cult to allay; and every year, on the I'M appearance of the spots on the stalks, the farmers have hurried their crops out an the fields, thus forcing un the tuarlex large quantities, fur which there was no demand, and aggravating the evil by tneir fully. This year a similar panic appears to prevail ; lout, twin extensive obsorvations, I unhesitatingly assert that, at present, there is no ground fur this alarm. '1 he crop, in general, has a most healthy appearance, and bears a profusion of blossoms, which were, in a great measure, wanting, during the years of blight. In those years, whole fields, which one day seemed healthy, were wen ma the nest day blackened and blasted, us it lay lightning. This has not been the case either this year or had. That simple stems are blighted here and there, is true, and also that, in some few cars, the disease has attacked the tubers; but them are single instances, while the rest of the field is ge nerally healthy. If all the diseased potatoes which have come into t l w: Ilellast market were colleeted in a heap they would make a very incuusiderable quantity." We quite agree with our correspondent that there in en ground for toad we believe, and the experience of last year a ar runts us in this belief, that very little injury will be dome. We have, ourselves, noticed who: our correspondent men tions about the blossom. The truth is, that in years pre vious to bill, this partial Wight would have attracted no attention, but every trifle excites alarm now., A. correspondent of the Doily Express writes as follows: A slight panic prevailed on Friday last among ruin , . sen sitive folk of .Srmagh and the surrounding distracts. iu con etillellee of a partial appearance of blight or alistolouration of the leaves of the potato. The " blight" was, no doubt, owing to a slight Host immediately after the rains, OUlt to the intense heat which followed. The leases of the stalLs of some species of potatoes are peculiarly delicate. The field, in general still continue iu bloom, and there bas been no es ideuee of diseased tubers to any extent worthy of notice, or sufficient to justify alarm. The potatoes sold in Armagh market are excellent, and the cereals are ■ow most pro inisiug, and assuming the golden hue that betulsens harsest. Tit E BARN sLE An:. 13. Severtl fields of oats mid wheat have been cut during the week southward of this town, and harvest will become general next week in this district shuuld the weather continue favourable. Mr. Mark Smith, of Ilemingtield, about hiur miles from this town, has cut a Geld of self-sown wheat, which is calculated will yield 41 bushels to the acre. The whole of the crops in this neighbourhood are good, and the average will be a good one. 'RIAU I lAlt% Est LADOUBLIts.—The number of Irish labourers through Lincoln this year is very much less than usual, whi,b may be attributed to the exceseive emi gration from Ireland to America, and to the other prevail ing causes which have so considerably diminished the popula tion of the sister island. The labourers in this district are consequently looking fur high wage's during the ensuing harre'st.—Lincobuhu•e Tones. TIIENDERSTORM.-11ARNsI.E11, AEG. 13.—A1 ten minutes to four o'clock, p.m., this town and neighbourhood were visited by a most dreadful thunderstorm, accompanied by terrific flashes of lightning, with hail and rain. The bail stones were of an immense site, and inust have done con siderable damage to the growing crops in this vicinity. The rain fell in torrents for about an hour, and did con siderable damage by flooding a number of houses and weavers' shops, which were from two feet to three feet deep in water. on the low east side of the p , tt market, spoiling work. in the looms and the provisions of many poor families. The li,Jitning and thunder continued with little intermission until 7 o'clock (the time this was written). The hail covered the roads about half an inch thick, at Royston, one hour and a-half after the hail storm. Roystone is N.E. of, and three miles from, Barnsley. EAsT LONDON PROVIDENT .ksaoC/ATION.—A general meetiug of the friends and supporters of this phi• lanthropic association in the eastern part of the metropolis took place last evening, at St. Thomas's School Room, Arbour-square, Stepney. In the absence of Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., the president of the the chair was taken by the Rev. W. Valentine, M.A. The chairman said the designation of the society sufficiently indicated its object, that of providing for the future. l'rovident habits were always advantageous to the individual; alien prac tised in union with others the results were doubly benefi cial. The specific objects of this association, which had been in successful uperatioa upwards of five years, were admire lily selected; they were, an allowance during sickness—an annuity in old age—a sum of money at death, or at any fund age—endowments for children—a loan fun for members—medical attendance and medicine. (Hear, hear.) These were objects which could not fail to promote the welfare of all who joined the society. Every care had been taken to render the association worthy of support; the tables had been calculated so as to secure the benefits subscribed for; and though the contributions were higher than those of many societies, yet the industrious classes had been taught by experience that cheapness in this respect was a dangerous snare. Even supposing the con tributions to be high, the rules provided that all profits should be equitably divided among the members. The funds were safely invested in government securities at compound interest. There were no tines for not serving office. The contributions might lse paid weekly or monthly. The affairs of the association had be. n conducted with the strictest economy; and although it only coos- 211(11014 in 12116, it had now a capital of above 1,200/. Mr. Edmunds moved a resolution, declaring that the objects of the society a VlCsuch as to merit the fullest consideration. Mr. E. J. Bennett, the medical officer of the association, seconded the resolution. Mr. Clemoes and Mr. She resin subsequently addressed the niretimr. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed-Uwe pasoeedings. A donation of 201. was announced from Mr. - Head, of the tirm of Charrington, Head, and Co. THE LINEN WEAVERS' STRIKE AT S.UINSLEV.— The strike referred to in the Express on the 9th instant, as haring taken place against Messrs. Charles Tee and Son, has terminated by that firm agreeing to give the r.sual rate wages. CORK AND BANDON ItAILWAY. At the twelfth half-yearly ordinary meeting, to be held the, day, the directors' and engineer's reports, and the abAract of accoun s were to he laid before the shareholders. the reports hating been adopted previous to last We :nesilay, no reference is made iu them to the ob struction to the passing of trains. The directors' report states : " The completion of the line to Cork gives the directors the opportunity of congratulating the sharehelders upon the successful termination of labours carried on continuously from the year IMIS. Every arrangement for the develop ment of that extended goods and passenger traffic which may fairly he expected between the populous commercial city of Cork and the thriving provincial town of Ban don having been mule, the directors look forward with confidence to the result of the ensuing six months' operations. A satisfactory arrangement will he shortly catered into for the conveyance of paaaengers, par cels, and goods from the flallinhameig Station to and from Kinsale. The late experimental excursions by the directors between Cork and Bandon will have fully satisfied the shareholders and the public of the high speed, combined with perfect safety, which is attainable upon the line. The sale of those forfeited shares which, with the sanction of the shareholders of the last half-yearly meetings were offered to the public, nut having equalled die expectation. of the di rectors, and an unwillingness existing on their parts to sacrifice the steak of the company by the dieposal of these shares at their present depreciated value, the directors have decided upon submitting to the shareholders a pro position for the conversion of a portion of the shares at present for disposal into guaranteed preferential stock, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per RIIIIUM ; for the c easideration of which question an extraordinary meeting will now be held; as els,' for the purpose of confirming the furfeiture of certain shares for which the necessary notices have been already giveu to the holders.

NoRICHAMPfON AND !)Ames( italtwax.--The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Euston hotel, Euston-square; Mr. G. Thompeoa in the chair. Mr. Watkin, the secretary, reed the following report .—"'The d rectors have been 'nod anxious to return to the proprietors the um eructed portion.ol their deposits, arranged on satiefactury terms. But the committee who were appointed to confer and advise with them upon this point have made no communication to them; influenced doubtless by a movement which has taken place on the part of the I tndownera in the district in favour of the mak ing of the line, and the consequent calling up of the shares. Until this movement bee, therefore, taken further shams, and the portico acting in it have made some tangible proposition, no further steps can be inflated by the directors towards winding up the affairs of the cone( ra." The statement of accounts attract that there had been re ceived as interest within the half year, 3 9 .1 e/. lle. 3d., which, added to the lethince up to the 31st of Ik-ember last year, made a total of 26,058/. 19s. 7d. The expenditure in sett rice and other expenses within the half year was 152/. Ma 3d. Balance in hand 25,0961. 3s. 4d.—The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that Mr. Watkin, on be• half of the directors, had offered to transfer to the land owners in the district, who desired that the line should be constructed, the possession of the act of parliament provided they would carry out the undertakings—Mr. Watkin said Lord Spencer, Lord Pomfret, and other landowners, at a meeting which they held the other day at Toweetoter, had espreseed a etrcng opinion in favour of the making of a single line ; and he had explained to them that the first preliminary step which was necessary with that view was the taking up of the shares which remained on hand. As the act stood, there would be an expensive tunnel to con struct, and it would be cheaper to apply to parliament for an emended act than to encounter that difficulty. The re port was adopted, and the meeting separated. ORFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON HAILWAV.—The meeting of proprietors is adjourned to the 27th, in consequence of the inability, before that time, of the committee lately appointed by the shareholders to make a filthihletjty report A SINGULAR COMB.tT was witnessed a few days since by a person on the road between Odell and Share brook. bediord,hire :—A stoat was making its way from an adjoining field across the road, with a young partridge which it h sd killed, in its mouth, when it ass pursued and atteeked by two skylarks and a wagtail. The three ants, acting in cones rt, rose a little in the air, then pounced down on their ruthless er.tmy, repeating their attacks so furiously that the stoat was obliged to abandon his prey. Each time he attempted to regain it they renewed their attacks with increased fury, manifesting a generoui sym pathy with the five of their fellow tenant of the air, and evincing a courage which was quite admirable in birds of those uacitic species. At length the stoat espied the narrator of the circumstance close by. and, feeling some misgivings as to his own safety amidst so many enemies, he ran oil with the utmost speed, leaving the plump little partridge behind.—Northamplon Mercury.

The decline in the Midland receipts is again made use of by the " bears" to depress the mar ket, notwithstandingithe large increase in the returns of all the other chief lines. 'this is "ticket-lay," and the settlement of the account is in full progress. Midlands are especially depressed, baring declined 30s. Yesterday there was a " hackwardation "of to a on this stock; but to-day a " continuation" of I ; has been paid.

Clnotng pewee Yesterday. II If MONEY MARKET: Tti LAT. Two oTtocx. The prices of the home funds were further de- • pressed 1 yesterday afternoon. making a total de cline of in the course of the day. Money sellers continued to offer, and a possible tendency to nn increase in the Bank of England rate of discount appears to have been by some hinted at, though it is needless to observe no such ideal meets with the least encouragement amongst com mercial men generally. However, after it had be conic known this morning that the weekly board had broken up, more confidence became observ able in the stock market, and prices rallied 4. The government broker made his ordinary pur chase of Consols at his usual hour, but, after the completion of this business sales were made at 96! for cash, being worse titan the lowest business figure of yesterday. The present quotation of the market is better again, at 964 to 1 for cash,and 961 to for the 11th September. The rates of actual bar gains are thus officially reported :—Three per Cent.

The settlement of the account forms almost the entire business of the foreign stock market : and, as few operations have offered, the change in prices is limited to Mexican Bonds. The intelli gence relative to the financial and political condition of the republic, published in full by the Expre.r and Daily Nora has caused much alarm among the bondholders, who are further deeply dissatisfied with the entire conduct of their affairs, and large sellers appearing in the market this morning, the price was depressed to 261, king a 11111 of 1 per cent. as compared with the lowest price of yesterday, and a fall or nearly 2 t per cent. since this day week. Now that the eyes of the bond holders have become opened to their real position, it is to be hoped this depreciation of their property will have a good effect by inducing them to enter upon the work of reformation where it is so much needed. The present quotations of the bonds shows a slight rally being 29:, buyers. Sar dinian Scrip has reeedea , to 't dis. The business figures of the day are as follows : Fquador Bonds, 31.

The railway traffic returns for the last week, now in course of publication, present the same favourable features as for some time past. the comparison with lust year showing a large augmentation on nearly all the chief lines. The increase on the London and North Western is larger than ever, the receipts having attained the enormous amount of 70,2301.; in the corresponding week of last year they were only 33,422/., so that the in crease is shown to be 16,8116/.

On Tuesday, an attempt was made to get up a I demonstration of the Liverpool millers against free trade principles, on the ground of competition from French flour, but the Liverpool men were too saga cious to connect themselves with a movement which cannot be successful, and is only calculated to bring on its promoters ridicule and disgrace. The 'importations of foreign flour, as the re turns lately published by us show, arc very great, and they justly excite attention both here and on the Continent. On Monday evening the subject was discussed by the Society of Political Economists at Paris, when some explanations were offered by the Count de Kergorlay, late peer of France, one of the jurors at the Exhibition, and an eminent French authority on agriculture. He felt highly proud that France had carried off in the department with which' he was connected four out of six first-class medals ; of these medals one was for flour, in which the French had beaten their English, American, and East Sea rivals. French millwork has only taken its present rank of late years by the imitation of English machinery, but such extensive improve ments have now been made that tho English are fur in the rear. It was stated that 120,000/. was being laid out in London alone for French millwork, and that there can be no question the English will soon be on an equality in mechanical resources, but it is M. de Kergorlay's opinion that the 14 rench will maintain their lead, because their superiority is likewise based on the proficiency of their workmen in the management of their mills, and on the skill of the French millers in the choice of grain. It was mentioned in the course of the dis cussion, that the French millers had been unable to keep up their supply of first class flour, and that they had been lately making up with stock below sample, which has created great dissatisfaction among the London bakers. In these views of M. do Kergorlay we cannot alto gether concur, because we think it quite competent for Englishmen to acquire, by experience, the same] proficiency in the choice and treatment of grain. One ' result is clear, that although the French have sup plied this market to the value of three millions ster ling in the last twelvemonths, our millers have ground more flour than ever. Another result, no less clear, is, that instead of continuing to use in ferior flour, we shall now, under the influence of the free competition of English and French millers, obtain the mass of our flour of superior quality. It likewise demands notice, that M. Horace Say, lin the samo discussion, spoke in strong terms in deprecation of the cultivation of beetroot sugar, in reference to the rote of another first-elass medal to that branch of French production.
