Tne meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society at Lewes affords indications of the state of agri culture which completely overturn all the theories and predictions of the Protectionists. How did it happen, for instance, that in Sussex, where, if anywhere, husbanemen should be depressed by reason of the absence of rural enterprise and has beadlike skill, that the show of Southdown sheep — the stock of the district—was one of surpassing excellence P Or, to take an instance of wider signi ficance, how was it that the exhibition was the best —the most practically useful—that has ever taken p'ace ? Implements adapted to the capital and command of horse power possessed by the small farmer hinted a striking feature of this show of implements ; while great improvements had been made, even since last year, in numerous standard implements without increasing their cost. What do these things show? Why, that an effective demand for improved implements is growing up amongst the smaller farmers; and that the maehinemakers are accommodating their supplies to the new market by producing lighter, more manageable, and lower priced implements of kinds—such as drills and the like—which have hitherto only been purchased by the more opulent farmers ;—improving imple ments of general necessity without increasing the coot. Is not this one of the most certain signs that our agriculture is advancing, even amongst the smaller farmers, about whose prospects protec tionist landowners were wont to be exceedingly susceptible? Evidence of the promptness with which the larger farmers adopt new machinery may be found in the statement made by Mr. THOMPSON that since last summer, when the reaping machine was first introduced, our various implement makers have received orders fur no less than 1,400 reaping machines. Then, again, amongst the breeders of live stock them was no falling off, but, on the contrary, a more active rivalry and closer com petition than on former occasions. And this is a branch of rural industry which can only flourish in a country of which the agriculture is progressive. Considerable outlays of capital, perseverance, long continued observation, and an almost exclusive devo- tion toe highly artificial, not to say precarious, depart meet of husbandry, are amongst the essential reqiu sites to the success of a professional breeder of live stock, —and the increasing number of competitors in this de pertinent proves the constantly increasing demand which exists amongst tho farming body for the best descriptions of live stock. Let the names of the prize winners for cattle, sheep, horses, or swine, be noted for the last ten or twelve years, and it will be found that very few individuals take the best prizes for more than two years in succession, before they are pushed from their supremacy by new competitors, who in turn are afterwards defeated either by new men, or by the veteran breeders who— profiting by defeat—by renewed exer tions again win fresh successes. But it must be recollected that thebrceder who has once obtained the great prizes of the Royal Agricultural Society, has thereby stamped upon his herd or his flock a com mercial value—has founded a connexion and a busi ness of no blight importance both to himself and the farming community. The winning of a prize has authenticated his stock, and justly so, because so se vere is the competition at these shows that none but the best bred animals have the slightest chance of mune, and thus purchasers of stock from tke win ners of prizes have warranty for that first essential purity of blood. Aad the very diminution of num bers of stock shown is, in fact, evidence of the improvement taking place. The keeper of ordinary live stock knows the uselessness of entering into competition with the men who mainly devote their capital and time to breeding. A division of effort takes place amongst agricultuists--each striving to have one object in perfection and this division of employments in rural industry, which is yearly increasing, forms one of the best means of improving the art of husbandry. And let it be observed, that all this progress , if it has not actually had its origin in the decay of Pro tection, has been much accelerated bthe self-reliance which has for some years been t aking the place of reliance on the protective system. But the most hopeful sign of the times exhibited at the Lewes meeting was the unanimous determination of all the political instructors of the agricultural mind— the landed magnates who discoursed at the council dinner—to recommend improvement and self-depen dence. From such men as Lord Deem that advice came naturally and gracefully ; himself a first-rate improver of land cad stock, he could dilate and dic tate on practical agriculture with confidence, while his advice would be received with respectful atten tion. But what can the farmers, who have so long been led astray by the Derbyites, when in opposition, think of such pimps as the following from Sir lOUs PAKINOTON'S speech, who said, " they must all feel that the interests of the landowner and the interests of the tenant farmer alike required that they should combine, by every possible improvement in agriculture, by every pos sib's exercise in agricultural skill, to produce from the soil the largest crops which it would yield?" And Sir JOHN declared " that amongst those who had cheered the British farmer by their good ex ample, and who had contributed to the science of agriculture the greatest possible amount of skill, and the most liberal expenditure of capital, there were few, if any, who stood so conspicuously eminent as their president, Lord Dieu - How is it that the COLONIAL SECRETARY has now, so late in the day, made this discovery P When Lord Deem was executing his improvements on his Example farm— when he was explaining to a committee of the House of Lords the way in which settlements and entails impeded the progress of !agriculture—and when he wee presiding over a League meetinig, now nine or ten years ago—what was Sir JOHN YALINOTON and his party isoadjutors about P Did they not discounte nance the notion that improvement could form any substitute for protection P Did they not ponder to the lowest prejudices and the most obtuse ignorance amongst the farmers P Did they not exaggerate the productive powers of foreign competitors Free trade • the most disastrous consequences from Free trade ? Did they not denounce and vilify every in telligent landowner for recommending them that for which Lord Deem is now made the object of almost fulsome panegyric ? The explanation is Out the DERRY administration, having gained power as Protectionists, would now become Freetmden or anything else to retain place. True it is the agricultural mind is slow, but it is surely discovering that the prophets of evil and ruin are scarcely the appropriate leaders in the present era of agricultural improvement. Of course direct re ference to what are designated political topics was excluded, but Lord PALMERSTON contrived to g ive the farmem and farmers' friends a sly hint when adverting to the loud outcry farmers are making against the monopoly of ne; be mid all hie endeavours when Foreign Secretary to induce them to reduce the prim had proved knitters; for " in fact, the Peruvians were not more disposed to let us put a price on their guano than the British farmer would be disposed to let the Peruvians put a price on English corn." And it is due to the British Lion, as represented by the farmers at Lewes, to say that he laughed obstrepe rously at the inuendo. There were, however, things of which we heard • good deal in the show-yard amongst the farmers, but of which not a syllable was breathed by the magnates whospoke at the council-table. To omit all notice of them when commenting on the Lewes meeting would be almost like leaving out the part of Hamlet. The farmers admitted that protection was gone for ever, that no re-arrangement of local taxes would be of any substantial b ene fit t o th em , an d t h at they did nut expect, and scarcely desired, high prime; but, they added, that, accepting the present state of things as permanent and inevitable, jtihmreqiured common justice at the hands of their de. They said rents must be reduced, that farmers' capital must be secured by rational leases, gams and game laws must bs attantioned, and, the payers of county rates mast him some amtrol over county expenditure. At the , dis•so we IWO A lia nothing but eulogies of such mettle is bristling, landlords and tenants together, god % d improvement of land by occupies—Alai in ma jority of cases cannot be oliaaelL)pasupa tin will not e ff ect the preliminary porallaNd Y. which properly fall within Asir proviso to mate. AN imperturbable sangfroid—sit abstinence from the expression of any strong emotions—is declared by some to be the distinguishing and characteristic mark of high birth and breeding. On ordinary oc casions there may be few objections to this. There is doubtless something imposing in such seeming superiority to mere human noon. It is analogous to the repose which classic) artists infused into the le:onagers of their divinities. But there are also mammon which it is desirable that members of the aristocracy should lay aside their conventional im passiveness, and spelk and act with the eagerness of men who are in earnest. In p min English, there appears to us to have been a degree of coldness and hall-hcartedness in Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR'S recognition and advocacy of the claims of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, his late colleague and present fellow-candidate for Middle sex, at the meeting of electors at Hackney on Thurs day. Lord Bonen:es recapitulation of his own ser vices in the cause of sanitary and other reforms, and his declaration of the course he is prepared to pursue with respect to parliamentary reform, were satisfac tory. But in what he said of Mr. BERNAL OSRORNZ and the Marquis of BLANDFORD there appeared to be • patronising indifference towards the claims of the former, and a reluctance to take the field ear nestly and strenuously, by no means conducive to that enthusiastic unanimity and co-operation among Liberals which is at present indispensable in Mid dlesex. _ _ _ This is to be regretted—mainly, for the effect it is likely to have upon the reform interest in the coun try; but also for the effect it may have, on future occasions, upon the political interest of Lord Romer himself. The game of the Derbyites is plain. They have concentrated their hostile operations upon Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE; it is that gentleman whom they seek to drive from the representation of Middlesex. Not only do they dis claim an opposition to Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR; they ostentatiously patronise his claims, and fawn upon him in the moat fulsome and offensive manner. In such circumstances any show of lukewarmness on the part of Lord Bonen—any . seeming disposition to damn Mr. OSBORNE with faint praise—or to ex tenuate the objectionable features in the Marquis of BLANDFORD'S political character—has an ugly look. It suggests misgivings that, though Lord ROBERT is much of a patriot, ho may be more of an aristocrat ; that the ties of family and caste are at least as strong with him as those of citizenship; that ho is fully more sensitive to the praise and blame of his order (or its retainers) than of the general public. Mr. OSBORNE told Lord ROBERT the simple truth when he assured him that though the Tories might spare him on this occasion, it would only be to at tack him at greater advantage hereafter. Any lake warmness, any indifference, any shrieking from exertion, in the asserting of Mr. OSBOR.NE'S claims now by Lord ROBERT and his friends will be deeply felt and resented by the independent Liberals in the country; and if, in consequence of any lukewarmness on the part of the Gaosvzsoa party, Mr. Osnonzz is defeated, the GROSVENORS may look in vain for the support of the independent Liberals when their time comes to be assailed by the Tories. Among earnest Liberals throughout the country there is but one feeling towards Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR—a feeling of respect and affection. But if the independent Liberals throughout the county are called upon to declare whether the defeat of Lord ROBERT or Mr. Ostioatiz would be the most severe blow to the Liberal party in w 'lament, there would be but one answer—Mr. OSBORNE would be incalculably the greater loss. The wealth and rank of the GROBVILNOIS render them, no doubt, weighty auxiliaries as well as orna ments of the Liberal party, but were any untoward accident to sever tlieir alliance, the GROSVENOR family would suffer more by its loss of prestige and influence than would the Liberal party by the with drawal of their support. Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE has, on the contrary, a power in himself, and a growing power. His readiness and talent as a parliamsotary debater—his stores of acquired knowledge, and ability to turn them to account—his alternately vehement, sarcastic, playful, winning oratory—all combine to enable him to wield the minds of men and iniesses their judgments and actions. He is feared all the advocates of ancient abuse, or eosariiiag corruption, and by all the shams who would wage war 'gaunt them in a comprota reseiffism fashion. Hie defeat would be not the Ism of a seat to theLiberala, the basal a Li veto's par liament ; it would be the removal (fora time) from the field of one of the most vigorous and skilful champions of reform, one of the most ready assail ants of corruption, oppression, and all misgovern ment. This is the reason—the sole reason—why such a desperate effort is being made to drive him from the path of the Derbyites, in which he is to them a stumbling block and a stone of offence. It is to be hoped that these considerations will have their due weight with Lordßosear GROSVENOR and his friends, and induce them at the nomination, which takes place to-day, to abate a little of their aristocratic lukewarmness—to identify themselves more unequivocally, and enthusiastically, with Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE and his friends,—to acknow ledge the importance of securing his seat, and exert themselves to aid in securing it. The duty of the independent Menlo who are electors in the county, and of all who have influence With County electors, is evident. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR S return is certain; nobody can endanger it, or thinks of endangering it. But a dead set is made against Mr. Ossomix, solely because he has approved himself one of the most efficient instruments of reform in parliament, and because his comparative youth, and rapidly maturing powers give promiae, on his part, of • lengthened career of usefulness. If, by any remissness on the part of the reform electors is Middlesex. Mr. Ossosaa is defeated, the consequence will be a grave discouragement to all men of his stamp who may feel disposed to devote their time, talents, and exertions, to thepablic service; for who will undergo toil and expose themselves to obloquy and misrepresentation by fearless championship of a public which betrays indifference to its champions and deserts them in the hour of need! The Liberal electors of Middlesex can return Mr. Osman& What they did at the last election they can do now. He has now much stranger claims ups. them than he had formsely, for since his last etudes be has developed estuirentoite and talents for whisk no one then gave hint credit. Defeat in the Manx elation weld be not only a heavy blow bat a real dispose to the Liberal cause. THE New CHANCERY Ac .—ln addition to the three new Chancery sets already noticed in the Doily Nana there is another, entitled " An act to extend the provisions of the Trustee Act, IMO." The Trustee Act hasbmn head very benelkial, and by the present act the Court of Chan cery may make an order for vesting an estate in lieu of • conveyance by a party to the suit after • decree or order for sale. Also power is given to vest an estate on refusal or neglect of • trustee to convey or release. There are proci- SiOel II to the transfer or receipt of dividends of stock, and also is to the appointment of new trustees. The Court of Chancery I. now empowered to appoint a new trustee in lien of one convicted of felony, and to make en order vest ing the property forthwith en such new trustee.

PAR • r ItIAT antl i t s i g k ed I usdeslitand thielhe Predden - himself ever the Ai of invitations for the tzlp to-morreW fa the presicleidial train, and with hie earn hand gillick out sanseal names. Among the names erased wen those of M. Armandlertin ' of the DIU& t Blanqui, dine ; Weron Auld last, not least, the ex-favourite and minister of die coup d'etat, de Morey : Orders have been given that the engines are to bo in readiness by seven o'clock to-marrow morning ; but the exact hour of starting will Bata am informed, be ands public). Three officers from each of the three ministnee of police, war, and the interior will be at the station to Intel; the exustion of the strict orders against the personation of invited [assts. The Prince desires to travel only in the company of maxis approved by himself. The state train will iteop at Nancy in going, and at Commercy in returning, and probably at some other places not yet publicly known. At these halting stations there will be reviews of national guards and troops brought from the neighbouring garrisons. The other trains will not be allowed to stop any when near thescenesof thecontemplated ruralovations,sothst the President will be secure as far as possible from the intrusion of any unsympathetic company till he ar rives at Strasbourg. I know, however, that several people have left Paris for Nancy this evening, that they may see what goes on there. At Strasbourg the proceedings will consist of consecration of the engines by the clergy, reception of the authorities by the President, and processions on both banks of the Rhine of the rural population, in their traditional costumes. On the second day there will be a sham fight on the Rhine ; an invading army will attempt to cross, and a bridge will be thrown over. I am assured that the Prince-President will command the army on the French side of the river in person, and the invaders will no doubt be signally defeated . The most striking feature of the whole fete will bo the coin ' plete illumination of the cathedral of Strasbourg. The unrivalled steeple of that edifice has I believe only twice reared such a blazing . pyramid of light in the heavens, once on the occasion of the visit of Louis 15th, and again on that of Marie Therese. The cost of the illumination to the town will be not loss than 80W. I was to-day informed by an inhabitant of Strasbourg of a fact which is not likely to figure in any official account of the fête. When the munici ity was convened for the purpose of voting money r the reception of the President, only six munici pal councillors out of thirty-six attended the meeting, and of those one came to oppose the grant. Thesup ply was therefore voted by five members only. I must not omit to mention that the festivities of the second day will conclude with a ball, given in the theatre, by the railway company. The Commit General of the Bas Rhin, held an un official meeting on the 14th, at which it was resolved that the whole body should wait upon the prince to compliment him upon his arrival in the department. The municipal council of Toul have expressed their regret that their town will not have the happiness to receive the prince within its walls, and that the note in the Monikur of July 4 deprives them of the satisfaction of offering hospitality to the President. They have voted a credit for a proper display of their good feeling at the railway station as the President plums, but they leave the precise amount to the wis-1 dom of the mayor. The municipality of Foug, with more particularity, have voted 83. for the erection of a triumphal arch. The bands of the 2nd regiment of engineers, and the 23rd of the line, in barracks at Metz, have re ceived orders to march to Nancy. A battery of artillery left Metz on the 15th for the same de stination. The minister of public works, who left Paris on Tuesday last at twenty minutes past six in the morn ing for Strasburg, arrived there in the evening at thirty-five minutes past seven. Ile left that city again on Wednesday morning at fifteen minutes past seven, and arrived at the Paris terminus at five minutes past eight in the evening. On the first day there were stoppages of one hour and twenty-four minutes, and on the second day one hour and fifty four minutes. Thus the journey to and fro being being a distance of 250 leagues was performed at the average rate of eleven leaves an hour. As the object was to inspect a new portion o f th e line, which required a more particular examination than the other parts, the speed between Luneville and Sarrebonrg, was reduced to twenty kilometres an hour. On the day of the inauguration the Presi dent's train will go at an average rate of forty-six kilometres an hour ; and it will perform the distance feesa Paris to Strasbourg in eleven hours. This dis tance of five hundred kilometres is the longest that Ye 'Tor yet been gone over in France in one con- , Kw.

A letter front Basle of July 11; in the Post Anipt Gazette, nays : Ac ording to a remove, which, however, requires con firmation, the moderate royalists of Neufchatel have sent a deputation to the King of Prussia, to Saiss-Souci, to sup plicate his Majesty, by a formal renunciation of the rights of sovereignty, to pat an end to the troubles of Neufchatel, which, being by its natural habits addicted altogether to manufactures, is occupied against its will with polities. The Basle Gazette of the 14th hist contains the following from Friburg: The committee of Foeueux thus concludes the address it had forwarded to the Federal Assembly : May it please the Assembly to decide that, agreeably to the resolutions adopted by the meeting at Poesieus, the constitution of the canton of Friburg shall b., submitt ed to the votes of the people, in order that they may revise said constitution wh hey pleas*, like the other cantons of Switzerland; that general elections, , Ven from all in fluence, shall take place in every commune by the absolute majority of votes, il j d i by secret ballot, under a presidont and a board elected o the Assembly."

A petition, demanding the sup pression of the civic guard of Friburg, was also being signed in the canton. GERMANY. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JULY 14. The Krell: Zeitung was seized yesterday evening by the police for the second time, having repeated its attack on the prime minister with renewed viru lence. This evening it reprints the loading articles on account of which the two previous numbers were confiscated, and says: Our paper is cot a printer's speculation, but a political undertaking, and confiscations, which disturb only our printer's receipts, can have no other effect than to widen the breach between us and the system of Messrs. Manteuffel and Quail. Let these gentlemen confiscate for eight days running; let them suspend us, seal op oar presses, banish us from the capital ; as long as they are in power they can enact all this ; but they can alter nothing in our conduct. ZOLLVEREIN. BERLIN, JOLT 14. Persons, whose information might be absolutely relied on, if their veracity were always equal to their knowledge of the state of affairs, assure me in the most positive way, that the reports about Prussia's giving way in the Zollverein question, and secretly pledging itself to form a customs union with Aus tria, if the latter will only allow it first to renew the Zollvcrein, are totally unfounded—manceavres of party malice. lam inclined to give credit to these assertions. CUBA. We have received the Madrid journals of the 11th. The Constitutionnel states, from the Havannah, that a conspiracy of thirty young men of that place had been discovered. Eight of them had been con demned to death and executed. The conspirators had freighted a vessel, with the intention of joining, either at sea or in an American port, the adven turers who are said to contemplate another descent on Cuba. TURKEY. Our correspondent at Constantinople, says the Conatitutiunnel, writes on the let instant : Two circumstances have occurred on the same day which have caused great consternation among the European popu lation, and will probably occuion fresh embarrassments to the Porte. In the afternoon of the 29th ult., a Frenchman was walking near the Seven Towers with his dog, which, as usual, was several times attacked by the straggling dogs in the strut. The Frenchman at length made em of his cane, and struck one of the assailants. The soldiers at a neighbouring guardhouse seeing the bloc', rushed on him with the greatest fury, and he did • not attempt ma any r ea ctance,=Al to m several times in the most brutal manner. Not matent with this ill-usage the soldiers compelled the Frenchman to proceed with , them to the sersakierate, in order that he might be locked up. His incarceration, it is true, was but momentary for as soon as he proved his nationality he was set at liberty ; but the rough usage he had met with was such as cannot be passed over. The French embassy has laid a regular complaint before the authorities, and there is no doubt that the chargd d'affaires, whose energy is well known, will follow up the matter, and obtain proper reparation for the attack. The other circumstance is still more serious, because it appears to have been premeditated. Antall English steamer, the Victory, which plies on the Ikapheras, in competition with the Turkish steamers of the Armenian company, having stopped as usual at the village of Arnaout Beni, to land her paseuge the police inter fered to prevent it, declaring by orders from the supe rior authorities, only the Turkish boats could land there. The captain then proceeded to the point of Berek, where he met with similar oppositics, a number of people, armed with sticks, having sesembled to prevent say one frem landing. Resistance appearing to be use less, the Victory proceeded farther, mid when retell ing opposite the panes of Ahmed-Fetla Pasha, the captain thought he might land without &Real% sad a sailor jumped on shoe to place the plank. No sooner had be done so than • number of mann gashed an him, and knocked him down with blows from their sticks. The cap tain and some of the having landed to give some explanations, met with dmAar treatment and one of them, an English subject, named Jacob, son in-law of M. Du, the director of the Mint, received wounds which have placed his life in danger. Colonel Rose the English chargd d'affairee has already laid a complaint on the subject before the Poch', in order to obtain satisfaction for this outrage. None will dispute the right of the Turkish government to refuse permission to fo reign lags to ply on the Bosphorus, but whoa that permis sion has once been gives, they have a right to protection, and there is no doubt that the authors of this outrage will be punished in an exemplary manner, so as to prevent a re airman of such scenes. The following r;; copy of the collective memorial sent in to Colonel Rose relating to the foregoing affair: CONSTANTINOPLI, lowa 30, 1862. 81r,—Ws, the undersigned passengers, yesterday even ing, by the steamer Victory, hasten to represent to your excellency that, on the steamer approaching the wharf, op posite the servants ' apartments of Fethi Ahmed Paella's palace, we were most violently assaulted by a number of servants, who came forth, as we suppose, for this purpose, and apparently fully prepared to do so, at the instigation of the Packs, as we are led to believe by the circumstances that have occurred. Many of the passengers were severely hurt in the exchange of blows, and among the number of sufferers is Mr. Henry Jacob, who, we much regret to say, although having nothing to do with the afiVay, was most seriously wounded. The whole affair, permit us to say, requires an immediate and the strictest investigation ; and we confidently solicit your excellency's good offices in ob taining for to a complete reparation and satisfaction for this most savage end brutal premeditated proceeding. Such circumstances have been too frequent of late, and should no I s o g n a r st be tolerated. We therefore most solemnly protest his Bisellency Fethi Ahmed Pacha for what has occurred, and we hereby hold hire responsible for the act of his fervent'', who, we feel certain, could never venture to take upon themselvee to act in the way they did without the Pscha's command. We have the honour to be, lir, Your most obedient servants. (Here follow the eignaturee.) Trtz RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BURNLEY. —On Thursday the inquiry into the circumstances of the acci dent which occurred to en excursion train at the Burnley station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway was cont. meneed at Burnley, and continued up to a late hour of the evening. A number of witnesses were examined, who de tailed the facts of the occurrenee as they have appeared in this journal, and the inquest was adjourned to Weasel day _next. NEW TOWN -HALL, ST. MATTIIEIV'S, BETHNAL OREEN.—This building, one of the Ant of the kind built spatially for the purpose of rendering it unnecessary to hold meetings in the church, has been recently erected by the commissioners for improving the parish. The cost of the erection, including the surveyor's house, inclosure walls, and fittings, was 3,2001. — TM Builder. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Complete files of Adelaide journals reached Singa pore to the end of March. They are filled with de tails of the wretchedness of the place—the once gay Adelaide, with its crowded streets and showy shops —which is reduced to a deserted town, and the work of decimation was still going on. In the course of three months upwards of 15,000 persons had quitted for the Melbourne diggings, and no loss than 700 women, u also their children, were left dependent on the government, their husbands having deserted them and proceeded to the gold mines. The local government had been at its wits' ends,utterly ate loss to stay the current of emigration. Various means were devised, but they all signally failed ; and u a dernier ressort Sir IL Young resolved to es• tablish a government escort from Mount Alexander to Adelaide, a distance of 400 miles, with the view of obtaining capital and causing a demand for goods, Ste., at Adelaiae. The measure has been successful. The utmost excitement prevailed in Adelaide on March 20th in consequence of Mr. Commissioner Telmer arriving with the first overland escort, bring ing upwards of a quarter of a ton of gold. 'rho journey was accomplished in eleven days. The scheme of establishing • short practicable route between Adelaide and tho gold diggings, and an armed escort for the conveyance of gold to South Australia, has thus far succeeded. By this arrangement it is calculated that half a ton weight will arrive monthly, and the re mitters have expressed their willingness to pay two per cent. to the South Australian government as an escort fee. From an official list of the remittees it is very gratifying to observe that the gold sent is chiefly directed to the addresses of the miners' wives and ' families in Adelaide. A Mr. Woodward, who resided many years on the banks of the Rhine, had arrived by the Albemarle for the purpose of establishing a vineyard, and conveyed with him a large collection of vines of different varieties. A number of vino labourers from France were expected in the colony. The Adelaide crisis has had a most disastrous effect' on the prospects of the local press. In 1851, there were twelve printing offices and thirteen newspapers. Two of the newspapers were published daily, four bi-weekly, one thrice a week, and the remaining six were published weekly. Of these newspapers eleven were English and two German. Seven of the newspapers are now defunct; they were known as The Old Colonist's Journal, Odilfellows' Chronicle, Austral Examiner, Said Auatralische Zeilung, Deutsche Zeituny,South Australian Mercury, Gazette and Mining Journal. Tho newspapers extant consist of one daily, two hi-weeklies, one weekly, one tri-weekly, and the government Gazelle. The departure of sub-, scribers and compositors for the diggings is assigned ' u the cause of the death of so many periodicals in the short space of seven months. Some well grounded fears existed as to the next crop of corn, so many farmers, especially in the south, having quitted for the diggings without having put in a crop, and leaving their landlords in the lurch. In such a condition was the shipping interest, that although from one to two hundred vessels left per month for Melbourne, crowded with passengers, no less than four vessels, with their cargoes on board, were waiting for complements of hands to sail for England.

Yesterday Mr. Disraeli, in company with his late colleagues, Messrs. Dupre and Cavendish, time, before the constituency of Bucks, to demand his spur, 4, knight of the shire for that preeminently conservatis e ror. etituency. A menagerie, immediately before fic.i. lag time, forms the best comparison for the shooting, hooting, and continuous noise with which the p ro . bable members for Bucks were received by tho se ,„1,,, ra they are facetiously said to repru•ent. Soar• must be made in the case of Mr. Disraeli hiaiself, listened to with patient curiosity in the hope t h at F. ;1 0. thing which has been so long "looming in the toti.r. • would become more palpable to the agrieu:tural 1„,, t in vain. ARer the usual formalities, amongst which the marline of the act against bribery and corruption excited cense.. • - Ara. bhp amusement, The Hon. G. lour proposed, and Mr. T. lILICVAIth evaded, Caledon 0. Dupre, Esq. ' a a fit and proper p er . son to represent the county in parliament. Sir THOMAS AVIMEY proposed Lind Sir 11. V w. conded the lion. C. Compton Cavendish. ((A m .. ) The Marquis of Cu ArieleS pro; osed, and Mr. M. bese t . seconded, the Right Hun. Benjamin Disraeli. Mr. J. T. Saxton proposed, and Mr. Goias seconded, Dr. Lee. (Loud cheers. No other candidate having been proposed, Mr. DUPRE came forward amidst cheering, and much clamour, and interruption, and said liu knew that the friends who had invited hint to come forward had In,. looked his iniperfections—(" No, nu ") -from the belief that he would be always at his post when the interests of the country were at stake ; and because they th oug h t that he would he instrumental in carrying out a teineili.O.,ry policy, which would put an end to the differences that had so long existed between the different classes of the country-. (" No, no ")—and that, without beir.g partial to any, he would endeavour to do justice to all. (Hear, hear.) s uc h , however, he would affirm, had not been the climate r op the legislation of past years. (Cries of " Oh, oh," and " Hear, hear.") Whatever Lad teen done to benefit the commercial and manufacturing interests, to develop their resources—and he was perfectly willing to admit thst a very wide extent of prosperity existed throughout the country—the iuterests of one class, not the least important from its numbers, its property, its loyalty, and lof., of order—had been entirely overlooked and neglected. (Hese hear.) Year after year they had been doomed to disap pointment; and year after year they had seen their titian unproductive, their complaints unheeded, and their grier. ancea untedressed. Ile looked forward, however, with confidence to remedial measure, being brought forward, and that by an adjustment of taxation uud by a r e . moval of burdens they would be placed in a position to meet their difficulties. (Hear, hear.) It was with that view that when motions had been brought forward in the House of Commons for inquiring into the distress of the agricultural body, and for seeking out measure, for their relief, be had been always at his post to support such proposal., and to vote for their passing into law. (Hear.) I used to be asked what were the taxes which pressed ulna the agricultural interest?—what were the peculiar burden, of which they had to complain ? Their object had been to inquire into the nature of the malt tax—to ascertain whether it had wholly operated agniust the farmers, or whether the burden was shared equally by the consumer? And it remained to be discovered what was the tax by which they could supply the deficiency of 5,000,0001. whah the repeal of the malt tax would create; whether or not some tax might be substituted for it that would press unequally upon those classes which they wished to relieve Such then were the questions to be inquired into, and he (Mr. Dupre) trusted that he should have the support of his hon. friend (Mr. Cavendish) in relieving the burdens width pressed heavily upon the farmer. (Hear.) His learned opponent, Dr. Lee, had put forward in his address as ho chief reason for opposing the late members for the county, that they wanted to tax the food of the people—(cries of " You do," and "That is the point ") ; and secondly, that they were opposed to the ballot. Now, es to the first point, he begged to say most emphatically, that as far ar he (Mt. Dupre) was concerned, that statement was wholly incorrect. (Careers.) He considered that that question had been set. tied by the voice of the coud i try. (Renewed cheers, and cries of " Oh, oh.") lie would repeat, that with reference to Dr. Lee's first objection to him, the whole question had been set at rest by the voice of the country. Oh, oh," and clamour.) And he did not think there was any desire to return to it. (A voice, "Do you wish to return to it ,") lie (Mr. Dupre) certainly did not. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the second question of the learned doctor concerto ing the ballot, he (Mr. Dupre) should only say that, even at the risk of sacrificing every single vote he was likely to get, he declared that he was must thoroughly opposed to that measure, and he did not mind using a hack nied phrase, and saying he believed the ballot was un- English. Ile did not think that an Englishman could be got to use the ballot ; and he certainly did not think that there was a single man, either in this county or bo rough, who could be got to vote under it, if it were in. trodueed. He certainly did not believe that a gentleman whom he saw in a certain part of that hall, was pre pared to say that coercion or intimidation hod been practised at the late election for the borough of Aylesbury. (Cries of "Oh, oh.") He thought that gentlemen on the other side ought to be perfectly satisfied with their victory; he tic• knowledged that he had no imputation to cast upon thin. for their conduct upon that occasion; they had returned their men then as his (Mr. Dupre's) party meant to return theirs] that day. (Cheers.) But it am not the ballot alone to which he was opposed ; lie was opposed to every one of those revolutionary theories which formed the chief elements in the chartist creed. (Cheers and uproar) He felt that, step by step, inch by inch, they would have to struggle for every ancient right, for every venerated institution, foe every constitutional safeguard by wars of which the vessel of the state had hitherto floated secure at her anchors, while every surrounding nation hail foundered in the tempest. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, he looked with perfect confidence to the iutroduction of all necessary reforms by the present government. He sincerely rejoiced that up to the present moment their proceedings had been marked by the most complete good humour, and that, so far at least, they had had no acrimonious discussions upon religious topics, which he was afraid might bare been in troduced. Had such subjects been introduced he would have been prepared to have entered at length upon them; but he was truly glad that there, at all events, such matters bad been avoided ; although he could not help guying that they had been often desecrated in the Home of Commons. It only remained for him to state that the votes which he had given were in accordance with the strong feeling of the nation. (Cries of "no, no." and uproar.) He expected that they would be brought in at the head of the poll a majority so triumphant that it would be shown that the gentlemen of Backinghamshire continued to be, as they always had been, anxious to maintain and uphold the honour, the interests, and the prosperity of the country. (Great cheering.) Mr. CAVENDISH came forward, and was exceedingly well received. He said it was now five years since he had last claimed their suffrage on the grounds of the views he took of our commercial policy. (Hear, bear.) He now asked them whether the policy then adopted bad not pro cured the greatest benefit for all classes (Cheers.) Look• ing at the state of trade, of the people, and of the revenue, he said that that policy had been most successful. (Bear .) He did not at the same time attempt to deny that agriculture bad suffered to some extent, and should always be re.uly to consider any well-considered plan for its relief. With regard to electoral reform, he was not the friend of any sudden Of ill-considered change, but would always support mode rate end gradual progress. Another point which had bees much discussed was papal aggression. 'f hat, he trusted, was now at an end ; but whenever any declaration of prin. cipls was necessary he would always be found a true son of the protestant church. (Hear, hear.) As to the College of Maynooth, he had always been an advocate for inquiry, and had attended night after night to vote for it, but was un fortunately abroad when the question was derided. With respect to church rates, he should always be ready to era• eider any well-framed measure for their modification. (Hear, bear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then step ped on the table, amidst loud and very general cheering. mingled with some indications of hostility on the part of a small portion of the meeting. After a few introductory re• marks, he said—in reference to an address published by Dr. Lee-1 have always been of opinion that a 'ine venial suffrage were granted, there should be no distinc tion of sex—(laughter)—and, therefore, I certainly will not support what is called universal suffrage with that limited and disgraceful restriction. (Renewed laughter.) Remem bering, as I do, that a lady sits on the throne—(hear, hear) —that a lady may hotel her manorial court, and that she is called on to fill the offices of churchwarden and of overseer. I am resolved that if the whole subject of universal suf frage is brought forward I will not consent to support at except—(much laughter)—except on the conditions so ably and so eloquently set forth by the learned doctor. k llrial And therefore I trust that any of his friends who are reach ed seriously and solemnly to fulfil their constitutional duties will, if they have a vote to spare, give it to that candidate who to that degree will support the policy of the learned doctor. Roving raadosome remarks in reply to Sir 11. Verney. Mr. Disraeli proceeded as follows : Now, let me reminelyou es a candidate for your votes, that four months only hare elapsed slue in this hall you returned the unanimously as your representative in parliament. (" dicer, - and clamour.' No one can deny that I was unanimously returned' No one can deny that even in our own county-hell I hid the show of hands in my favour. (Hear, hear.) I highly esteem that honour; I hope I duly appreciate it. To represent this county has always been the object of my highest aruhe tion ; and 1 have always wished so to conduct myself •bite I was the representative of this county, that if I could not obtain the support, I might at least acquire the gi ll will of all classes and parties in the county. (Hear, hi , ' Bat as only four months ago you did return me as pour member unanimously to parliament, I think that, under the circumstances in which I now find myself again candidate for your suffrages. I have a right to ask ) 'u what 1 have done during those last four mouths to farle“ your confidence ? (Cheers.) Now, I think that it is a fair and rational question. If four months ego you unani• mously returned me to parliament, and if you now otti' to return me to parliament again, 1 must hose done Waif thing during those four months of which you ele.apprese. (A voice " You have dens nothing.") Well, then, what is the ground of the opposition of my opponents ? No pretends that I have done anything to forfeit your n" • denoe. The gravamen of their opposition is that I have done nothing. (Laughter.) The most that they can sal against me is, that four months have elapsed, and I WI , done nothing. (A voice " Bun you got the money.") 40 " . ;:l . no candidate ever appeared before a great county un d er more favourable circumstances. ( Laughter.) I th ink, those who look—l hope I speak with au unaffected allo t becoming humility-1 think those who look ever
