Whittaker, having certified Volt his patient. were sufficiently recovered to give their evidence relative to the cowardly and atrocious attack on their lives, the maitedrAtes Phillip., EN., mayor, and Robert Blunt, Esq.). proceeded yestenlay to the residence of Mr. Tacker, in Clarcnee-mad, where the prisoner Thomas _ . Ash was brought under custody of the borough police. Mr. Voidse attended on the part of the prosecution, and the following de's...kiwis were taken : William Tucker, sworn—On Tuesday night, the ISth February hot, I went to bed at nine o'clock—the house was all safe. About one in the night I heard Mrs. Whittaker screaming murder. I got out of bed to go to her, and on turning round the end of the bed I was knocked down. I saw a person first striking Mrs. Whit taker, who was in bed bleeding, and on seeing me he struck me on the head with a kind of iron chisel, and jobbed it into my neck three times. The chisel now produced is ea actly like the one used. Ile hit me with the great end and jobbed me with the sharp end. I du not know that I should know the man again, I was so soon down. There was a second man at the door with a light. When I was knocked down I got up three times and struggled with the assa.ssin until I got him out and shut the door. The man in the presage with the light went hack as I pushed the other out. I did not see the face of the man in the mirage. When I put the man out. Mrs. Whittaker got to the window and called for toner, and the polite soon arnved. I have known the prisoner, Thomas Ash, none months. About two months ago he asked me to lend him 11., whirls I refused to do. lam 91 years of age. In his crow-examination by the prisoner, Mr. Tucker said. I can swear that you are the man who stood in the passage with the light. 1 Mrs. Whittaker's testimony was corroborative of that of , Mr. Tucker, and Mr. Eurengey, the surgeon who attended them, described the nature of the wounds indicted. Rebecca Walker deposed to her lending prisoner a hand kerchief similar to the one found on him. Charles Todd. labourer, Spital, sworn—l have known the prisoner about a year. Three weeks ago he came to my father's house, and I went to the Stag and Hounds to have some beer with him. After we had been drinking, be beckoned me to come out, and I followed him. On going down the road he said, " I know a gentleman in the Clois tem who has got plenty of money, and I know how to get it ; all I want is to engage some one to get the servant maid out, I know her well. I have been at work in the house several times." And he asked me if I would get her out. He mid the best plan for me would be to go and say that some one had sent me to tell her that her brother had broken his leg that I was to take her down towards the Little Park, and then give her the slip. I told him I would have no thing to do with it at all, and left him. Esther Barrett swore to having seen the prisoner, with another man, on the day previous to the robbery, grinding a chisel. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the outrage. He was fully committed to the county gaol at Reading, to take his trial on a charge of burglary and attempt to murder, and all the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. The supposed accomplice, for whose apprehension a re ward of 701. has been offered, has not yet been taken. It has been ascertained that he was an itinerant tinker. the Court.

The conference , lasted about an hour. The 101,he of last evening, after announcing the above, Boys: Lord JOHN Rt4sr.l.T. first addressed the meeting, and adverted to the position in which the government at present aeon& directing the attention of the meet ing to the fact, that there existed a powerful and compact body, at Idioms: head wits a distingutsheil statesman, whose bond of politiaal union was the reversal in a great measure of that commercial policy, the beneficial effects of which the country had so sensibly felt during the last few years. From the exertion, of that body (if successful) either of two evils would result—either protection would be restored, or the country would be thrown into a disastrous state of agimtion to repel the efforts of the opponents of free-trade. Under these circumstances he had called them together, fin- the purpose of seeking a continuance of their supports • and of a-king them to forego all differences on minor gum- Grins, in order to seal the success of the commercial policy which they advocated in common. The noble lord then ads erted to the papal question, and said, that while adverse to any unnecessary lie felt bound to go on with the Eigledastical fishy Bill in a modified form. The plan proposed by Lird Stanley did not meet his assent, u by refer ring the subject to a committee which might last possibly_ for two years, the feelings of acrimony which prevailed would be prolonged. This he thought must undesirable, and therefore was i nil need to dispose of the question at once. With regard to financial arrangement., he said that the cabinet had not met since their return to office, hut he hoped when he met the house on Friday, to be able to make a statement on that subject, which would be satisfactory. Ilia lordship concludes', by asking for a contintiance of that generous support which had been given him for the last two years—not for the personal object of keeping himself and hi• colleagues in office, hat for the sake of securing that which they all lent at heart—the welfare and prosperity of the country. (The foregoing is necessarily but an imperfect sketch of the noble lord's observations.) Messrs. Greene (Kilkenny) and Ouseley Iliggins, severally remonstrated strongly with the noble lord ou his determina tion to persevere with the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which they pledged themselves to oppose, even at the risk of the noble lord's government. Ma. Sharman Crawford, the O'Gorman 31ahut, and Dr. Power (Cork), followed in a similar strain. Mr. BEKNAL Osnonmz next addressed the noble lord, and expressed his intention of supporting the government, concurring, as he did, generally in his policy, but entreated him to except Ireland from the operation of the Ecclesiasti cal Titles Bal. Sir De Lacy Evans spoke in a similar spirit. Lord Ebrington, Colonel Itawdon, and several other hon. members afterwards spoke, and the spirit which pervaded the meeting (with the exception of the dissent of the Irish menders present) was one of strong confidence in and attachment to the policy and principlos of the noble lord and the government.

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1851. HARWICH ELECTION.-THE NOMINATION. The elevation to the peerage of Sir J. C. Hob house has given this borough the unusual opportunity of making a third selection of one of its representatives within the period of a single session. On this occasion, the an nouncement of candidates for the vacant seat almost anti cipated the issuing of the writ ; and for the last week Mr. Robert Wigram Crawford, a director of the Bank of Eng land, and Mr. Henry Thohy Prineep, ant East India director (the former a supporter of free trade, anal the hitter a eon- serrative and protectionist), have b een on the ground, ad meetings and tansa—ing the electors. The nomination took place at noon yesterday. The Mayor, F. F. HART, E-q., presided. Mr. THOMAS Daimon proposed, and Mr. Marrnuw Joiirso:c seconded, Mr. Craw ford's nomination, and Mr. Fearer') Hates, seconded by Mr. IlassuriNs, jun., nominated Mr. Prineep. Mr. CRAY FORD then came forward amidst loud cheers from his supporters. He came before them to solicit their 'urines upon the principle., he bed laid before them in his published addresses. Ile denied that he was the nominee of Mr. Bagshaw (the sitting member), or of any individual whatever. The grand question at the present time, and one to which all others must succumb, was whether this country should return to the bondage of mo ! nnpuly, or whether they should enjoy as they ought to do the benefits of that free trade which had been introduced among them. (Cheers.) Instead of assisting them to what they wanted in the shape of foreign commerce, his honourable opponent, if they returned him, would support the protectionist party in levying a duty upon those goods which must form the staple of She trade of Harwich. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PRINCF.P nest addressed the electors. Ile mid he had comedown there at the request of two resident votersof the borough who happened to he in London when the fact of a vacancy became known, and he denied that he was the nominee of Mr. Attwood. He would receive dictation from no one, and he hoped they would find him as well able to maintain his own principles as any representative they could select. On taking a show of hands, the Mayor declared it to be in favour of Mr. Prineep. On behalf of Mr. Crawford a poll was demanded, and fixed to take place the next day. It is admitted on all hands - that the contest will be a close one. PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. MEETING IN TILE TOWER 11A3ILETS. Last evening, a crowded public meeting was held in the Temperance Hall, Prince'ci-square, Ratcliff High way, for the purpose of promoting the principles of the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association. 011 the motion of Mr. PMEISCE, Sir FILANCIS KNOWLES, Bart., was called to the chair. The CliAlltlAN said he appeared there as one of the representatives of the Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association. They had already had opportunities of con sidering how far that society would promote their political views. The two sections of the oligarchy—he called them the oligarchy, for the tens aristocracy was nut a proper one, many member* of it being favourable to the people's cause—the two factious of the oligarchy had now come to a stand still, and for eleven days they had been in the position of being unable to find proper men to carry on the government. How was it? Like the two Kilkenny cats which eat one another up except their tails, there was nothing left of the factions of the oligarchy but their tails. The great difficulty iu forming a government was, because that the representation was not on a sufficiently broad basis. Up to the time that this crisis occurred, they heard nothing from Lord John Russell of the necessity of parliamentary retOrm. Mr. L. SUTTON, in moving the first resolution, said that an union having been formed between the St. George's, the Shadwell, and the Reda Associations, it was deemed advisable to calla public meeting, to get the public further to sanction their principles, and to obtain public support. Ile looked upon this association as a great political educa tional establishment, the object of which was to teach them their rights and how to obtain them. The resolution he had to move affirmed the axiom, that knowledge is power, and that it behoves all to understand their political position, in order to remedy their wrongs and obtain their rights. When their respected President, Sir Joshua Walmsley, asked Lord John Russell whether he intended to bring forward any measure for the extension of the political franchise, Lord John answered with great hauteur that it was not his in tention to bring forward any measure for the extension of the franchise, and that as to the defects of the Reform Bill he would bring forward a measure to amend them when the proper time arrived. The question which arose upon this was, when was the proper time ? The proper time was the time public opinion pointed out. The only way to obtain their rights am, to obtain an equality of representation, and to have it placed un a broad basis. Asa proof of the present inequality, he stated that there were 64 boroughs with 1t4,41:41 electors, who returned 79 members to parliament, while their awn borough of Tower Hamlets, with 19,360 member*, had only two members. (hoar, hear.) Mr. B. CLARK. seconded the resolution. He said he believed the aristocracy, who took the government on them selves, really . knew very little of the wants of the people. There was, indeed, one man in the cabinet, the Earl of Carlisle, who was a honour to his order, and who thought it no condescension to give a lecture some time ago to the members of the Leeds Mechanics Institute, on the poetry of Pope. If Lord John Russell came among the people to hear their cheers, aye, and occasionally their groans, he would be much better acquainted with the feeling of the people than he now appeared to be. Mr. ROBERT LB BLOND, who spoke in support of the resolution, said the best way to obtain their rights was Ito place themselves in a position to attain them without Ix, Mg at all obliged to Lord John Russell for his assistance. The resolution was then unanimously agreed to. Mr. ALLAH, chairman of the Shadwell branch of the association, moved the second resolution, which was to the effect that the association was worthy the support of the people, and that no ministry was worthy the confidence of the people that would not extend the franchise. Mr. SIIELLETT seconded the resolution. Reference bad been made to the speech of Lord John Russell. It was supposed that the three estates coexisted of Queen, lords, and commons, but Lord John left out the commons and put in their place the church. This was all owing to the apathy of the people, who had not evinced sufficient interest in the question of the franchise. Mr. H. J. SLACK, in seconding the resolution, said the present ministerial interregnum gave them a useful lesson. \Vhen the Pope took the measure which was considered by many to be an aggression on his part, Lord John Russell was on the look out for a breeze to watt him into popular favour. When he brought in his Ecclesiastical Titles Bill some said it did not go far enough, while others said it went too far. The fact was Lord John was like a little testy dog that made an excel lent snarl, but was unable to bite. Then Lord John had a colleague called Sir Charles Wood, and they were all much amused a few days ago by its being stated that the duties were to be taken off Wood. (Laughter.) Well, this respectable piece of timber brought a budget into the Howe of Commons, and out of it he produced some carious articles. One of these was a kind of thimble-rig, by which, while taking off one tax—the window tax—he put on a greater one in the shape of a house tax. Well, the Irish members went off upon the popish question, and the liberal members seeing Lord John would not go on, determined that he should go off. Under these circumstances, Lord John, without consulting his colleagues, saki " We'll resign ;" and, one fine morning, the mi nisters were informed that they were no longer ministers. Lord Stanley, who was a very straightforward man, was then called in, and he called to his counsels the Mar quis of Granby ; but he found that the noble marquis had no more wisdom in him than might be found in a public house sign. (Laughter.) Then his lordship found that it was not convenient to haves dissolution, and altogether his difficulties were too great to be overcome, and he gave up. Then the Duke of Wellington, a very respectable old gentleman, was called in to give his advice, and he gave a kind of military command—" as you were." So Lord John Russell came down to the House of Commons and mid they were to remain as they were. He also said that when he brought in a bill to extend the franchise he must preserve the conservative clement. In short, it was all "as they were." As it was in the beginning it is now, and it depended on the people to say whether it ever shall he. (Cheers.) The government was all "as they were." They might ask why some sensible roan, such ON Mr. Ilume or Mr. Cobden, was not called in. But in the present state of things these kind of men were not sent for. No men were admitted into the cabinet but these who belonged to certain families. Now, this was a great country and it required a great deal of intelligence to govern it well. If they found a man, whether he were descended from the lowest ranks of the people or not, who had displayed talents which fitted him for the government of the nation, the people should insist on having him at the head of affairs. (Cheers.) Until, however, the people evinced a determination to have the right men in the right places they would never have them, hut things would re main " as they were," and they would never have their rights. A vote of thanks to the chairman was then unanimously agreed to; and after three cheers for parliamentary reform, and three groans for Lord John Russell, the meeting sepasated. SUSPECTED STARVATION OF A WOMAN BY HER HVIINAND.—A few days since we gave the particulars of the death of a young woman, named Harriet Sparing, at Bath, from exhaustion produced by the want of the neces saries of life. It was also alleged that the husband's brutal conduct was the cause of the woman's deplorable condition, and the coroner, at the adjourned inquest, issued his warrant for the apprehension of Sparing, who ab sconded soon after his wife's death. The inquest was resumed on Monday evening; but the police have not yet succeeded in apprehending the husband, whose conduct, as deposed to in evidence, has excited feelings of the deepest indignation. Several witnesses have been examined whose testimony has proved that the deceased previous to her confinement in November last, earned her own living by needlework, but no sooner was she rendered incapable of this than her sad privations began. Her husband, who was in a constant situation as groom to a gentleman, from that time to her death seems to have been guilty of the grossest neglect, and the deceased, who was frequently without food or fire, according to the united testimony of the witnesses, was too meek a woman to utter a complaint, but she continued gradually to waste away, and at last died of exhaustion. The inquest was again adjourned to give the police time to apprehend the husband it possible. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD (MORT. Bosom Ms. Ames E. Smioh, 30, tailor, was indicted for arson. Mr. ltohinson prosecuted. The prisoner, a strange-looking man, dressed in the prison clothes, upon being called upon to plead, took no notice of the question, but kept staring wildly about him, seemingly counterfeiting in-amity. Mr. M'Munlo and Mr. Cope were both examined as to the prisoner's conduct since his committal, and both those ' gentlemen said that when he was first sent to Newstate there did not appear anything strange in his manner ; but that, after he hail been a day or two, his manners had been strange, and he would not speak to any one, but that, in their opinion, he was only counterfeiting insanity. The ease was then proceeded with ; and it was shown that about a quarter before five on the afternoon of the 31st of January, the prisoner was seen to enter a field at Bedfont, belonging to a Mr. Francis Sherborne, where there were eight ricks; not any one else was in the field; after a short time prisoner was seen coming nut of the gate, and at that time one of the ricks, an oat one, was seen on fire, and was subsequently destroyed—the others being with the greatest difficulty saved. Two boys who were bird-keeping in the held, sad saw the prisoner go out of the field, told him that he had Fred the rick, and Major Reed, who was pio“ing at the time, rode after him, and stopped him until the police came up, and he was secured, when, being taken from the magistrates' offices after com mittal, he told the policeman that the devil had tempted him, said wanted to know what would be done with him. The jury found him guilty. The learned Judge said he should postpone the sentence. • The prisoner, W1)11 11111 not seem to pay any attention to the proceedings, was removed front the dock. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MARCH 4. The Evening Mail states that since the failure of Lord Stanley to form an administration, the Lord- Lieutenant has countermanded the orders for pre paration to leave Ireland to-day; that all remains in static quo at the Castle; and that there is no truth in the rumour that his Excellency has received any instructions to proceed immediately to London. It was generally understood that his Excellency would have sailed from Kingstown this morning. As the agitation against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill has been directed not so much against the de tails of the bill, as against the very principle of the measure, we may expect , now that it is definitively understood that that measure is to be proceeded with, although in some modified shape, that the out cry against it in Ireland will be raised with re doubled vigour and animosity. At a meeting held in Kells on Sunday last, to petition against the Anti-Pa, _ , bal Bill, the Very Rev. I h.. M‘Evoy addressed a crowded audience in such inflammatory terms as the following : Does not, he asked, every high and holy consideration— ,l does not the accumulated blood of your forefathers—does not every spot of your green isle, stained with the Misfit of some Irish conti•ssor—(cheery)—do not the scaffold and the prison, and the dungeon where your forefathers expired—do they not one and all call upon you to rally round the liberties, the rights, the privileges, the freedont, and the independence of the catholic church? (Loud cheers.) Will you not so rally ? (Cheers.) Yes, you will, unit as becomes Irishmen and catholic, and more especially Irish catholic', you will unite in one serried phalanx to rally round the freedom of the church, which the invader found hcfore in the land, hut which, thank lleaven, in vain he attempted to destroy. (Cheers.) The opinion of counsel against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill has at length seen the light. In this opi nion Mr. ('Hagan says : The existing archbishoprics, bishoprics, and deaneries of the protestant church in Ireland am, neither in number or in name, identical with the archbishoprics, bishoprics, anit deaneries of the Roman catholic church ; and, in my judg ment, the measure which threatens all the catholic prelates with punishment for the use of any local episcopal designa ' tion (whether it be or be not appropriated by the protestant establishment), is not a declaratory measure. It is a new penal law, creating a new disability of u very serious nature, out only as it may affect the position of the bishops, person ally, but, also, us it may atfcct the charitable institutions and estates of the Roman catholic community, of which those bishops, as such, may be now trustees. In my opinion, if it become law, in its present shape, it may most seriously interfere with the dispositions of Roman catholic I property which have been already made. And again he tams: As I understand the discipline of the Roman catholic church in Ireland, the provisions of this bill, if rigidly car ried into execution, would lie wholly inconsistent with the free action and practical existence of the catholic hierarchy. It forbids the " assumption or use of the name, style, or title of archbishop, or bishop, or dean of any city, town, or place, or of any territory or district (ender any designation or description whatever) in the United Kingdom," by any other persons than the archbishops, bishops, and deans of the established church, and proposes to inflict on the person offending, by such use or assumption, a penalty of 100!. Now, the catholic prelates of Ireland are not bishops barge tilms—are not vicars apostolic—but members of an rinses. pate, regulated by the settled law of the Roman catholic church, which requires that each bishop should be the bishop of a particular ace in Ireland, and have a peculiar local jurisdiction. According to that discipline, each of them has his own local title, and must tete it in discharging the functions of his office. If the contemplated enactment take effect, he cannot discharge those functions as his predecessors hare ever discharged them, and as the constitution of his order requires them to be discharged. When he is consecrated as an Irish catholic bishop, he assumes a local title—when he ordains a priest ho assumes a local title ; when he appoints to a parish he as sumes a loc a l title ; and these assumptions he makes, in simple accordance with the ordinary discipline of his religion. With that discipline this measure directly conflicts, and its policy cannot prevail, unless the system of ecclesiastical government which has subsisted for ages in the catholic church of Ireland, he essentially changed, and its hier archy undergo a virtual abolition. The second clause annuls all deeds or writings made, signed, or executed by Roman catholic archbishop, bis hop, or dean, under any name, style or title which the law forbids him to tussume. According to the usage of the Irish Roman catholic church, many episcopal acts arc completed by writing, and this clause must operate to nullify such acts in law. Thus, ap pointments to parishes are commonly so made; and the effect of the clause will be, to destroy the legal solidity- of such appoiutmenta. If there should arise a conflict, after the passing of the act, as to the person entitled to office or property in the character of parish priest of a particular parish, and if the appointment of the person really so enti tled should appear to havo been in writing signed by a bishop of his church, a court of justice would require the production of that writing, as the proper evidence of the appointment; and if, on the production of it, it should appear to have been executed by the bishop, describing himself as bishop of a see in Ireland, its whole effect would be destroyed, and the prelate would be made liable to the penalty of 1001. - - He winds up by describing the measure as— Conflicting with the discipline of the catholic church in Ireland—incompatible, if effectually enforced, with the maintenance of the Irish catholic hierarchy in its old integ rity and freedom, according to that discipline—and inter. fering injudiciously not only with catholic trusts and charities hereafter to be created, but also with those which already have existence.

Thomas Scott, and subsequently received the holy communion, in St. Thomas's Church. One of the converts had been a student for the Romish priesthood in St. Jarluth's College, Tusm, under the auspices of the Most Hes.

' - AFFAIR or HONOUR.—A hostile meeting took place at Merville, near Sligo, on the 27th ult., between the Mayor of Sligo, E. H. Version, Esq., and Charles A. liedley, Esq., solicitor, cousin to Colonel Sedley, 2nd West India Regiment, in which the former was attended by a profes sional gentleman, and the latter by his brother. After an exchange of shot; the parties were, with much difficulty, taken off the ground. The duel originated in an article in serted in the Champion newspaper, of which the Mayor is proprietor. B E LEAST, MONDAY MORNING.— LINENS.— The Armagh market was dull, and rough browns were lower by 4d., which, on so low-priced an article, is a considerable re duction. Goods for bleaching were not lower. In Bally mena, goods were steady at the last prices; and yarns, being still high, there is no immediate prospect of a reduction, though, generally speaking, this has not hitherto proved a good criterion, as, at some times, when yarns were very high, goods were at their lowest figure ; but the weather being fair for seed-time, and a number of weavers leaving their looms for the fields, will reduce the quantity brought to market considerably, which will tend to keep up prices, especially so there are no stocks anywhere to be found. YAIINII.—We can scarcely mention any change since our last report, soil the demand for the middle numbers—from 4.5 to 75—is still very good. Stocks are small. Flax and tow having advanced considerably, spinners will make every effort to keep up prices; indeed, their profits cannot be so large last year, when flex wa- , much lower in proportion to the yarn prices. The lowest wefts in market arc now 4s. 91 to 6s. without discount, and nothing of • medium quality can be had under 4s. 10.1 d. in 64- .. 6-3 line. Tows keep at the old prices.—Belfast News-Leitsr. ESTATES OF ENGLAND. Wreathe Deily New.) WELBECK AND CLUMBER (CoNTINuED). WITH A. GLANCE AT HADDON. In my last communication it was said that a cir cuit, starting from Blythe, on the Yorkshire border of Nottinghamshire, would he taken through the latter county into iterhyshire over a tract trodden by Arthur Young eighty years ago, to compare his record of rents, rates, and prices with those of 1851. I find, however, that the comparison made around Blythe in my lust would apply elsewhere. The only correction should be in the weight of the fleece of wool: it has been sold at is. 6d. per fleece, as I stated, but that is above the average. Arthur Young found the average price of wool in the dis trict over a series of years to have been 31,d. per lb. Over a like series of years ending isao the average price has been la. per lb. ; and, though the wool picked from a three and called " prime" is said to have deteriorated in the last fin years, the fleece has 1 increased inweight at least 1 lib.; so that ill had said Bs. 6d. instead of is. 6d. the farmers concerned in my report would have been satisfied; as it was, they have complained that I gave them too much wool. The fact remains, however, that poor ratisi are lower than eighty years ago ; that county rates would be lower, too, it the single item of prosecution and keep of poachers in prison were deducted. Rant is three times the amount of what it was in 1770 ; necessaries and luxuries for rent-owners not dearer; some of them, as silks, fine cloths, carriages, and furniture, are cheaper. Amusements are more expensive ; e keeping was then exceptional, now it is a rule of which presently); the cost of a duke's journey Calli rom hence to London was an untold sum in the days of the coach-and-six with outriders, the cost now, with rent trebled, is like that of the Sheffield cutler, for which see Bradshaw. Workmen's wages, it is true, are nearly (in West Yorkshire, Derby, and Nottinghamshire tufty) doubled, while bread at present is at the same price; but this is so recent a circumstance as to be exceptional to the improved condition of the landlords. Their's is of fifty years' standing at least. Why then are they distressed ? It must he through family or creditor encumbrances on their estates, or through enjoying sport and plea sure upon a scale which is always on the verge of income, to abridge which is "distress," entitling them to the commiseration of the Queen's speech. As to the tenant farmers they are really distressed. They provide the capital to cultivate the land, meet all the risks of seasons, markets, and legislation ; pay local and national taxes; pay rent for leave to run those risks; provide the landlord, his family, and friends with sport ; feed and preserve the game, prosecute the poachers, keep them in prison upon county rates, and their wives and children in the workhouse on poor rates. They submit to conditions of bondage not to " lop, top, or grub" up this nuisance to agriculture, or remove or disturb, or allow others to disturb, that ; not to plough, sow, mow, or sell their produce otherwise than per mitted and directed by the landlord and lawyer; and to " row in the same boat," or " sink or swim " with the landlord ; while, throughout their season of transition, fear, and peril—{of five years' duration, the Marquis of Granby said in the late debate]--not one abatement of burden or privi ledge has been made by the landlords, other than in some instances a deducted per cottage of rent for the time being, on condition of prompt payment of the remainder. "Every one is against the farmer," said Mr. E—, in Worksop market, speaking to me for himself and others standing around, " landlord, labourer, mod free trailer. 'f he free trader calls UN clodhoppers, to begin with, clodhcads, and what not; we could live over insolence, but have worse to contend against. What are we to do with the la bourer? Ile has tasted the cheap loaf, and won't give it up. we can't offer him less wages, for o@' Ile goes to Sheffield or Manchester; there he feeds on foreign corn. If we would sell him potatoes or roots of any kind when he is in Sheffield or Manchester, to eat with his meat, we must not. And that brings me to the landlord—what are we to do with hint ? Ile has high rents and high privileges • the law secures hint on every side. If we would borrow money, or seek credit, nobody will give it us, because the landlord, who risks nothing, sweeps all off in preference to every other creditor. We must be the scapegoat, the butt of everybody ; clodheads, Cobden calls us, d— him! Then they tell us about taking off taxi.u; but what good would the absence of the malt tax be to we? If a farmer of 300 acres uses 10/. worth of beer or malt in the year, it is as much as he does. We are ail barley growers hem ; the barley is malted in 'Worksop, Retford, Newark, and hereabout ; but who drinks the ale ? Who but the frectraders in Sheffield and Manchester, Derby, Not tingham, Leeds, and all about those towns? The taking off the malt tax would only make ale cheaper for they ; not a sixpence better would it be to we. If all taxes were taken off, and put on pro perty and profits, as some talk ,f, some good might , full to us, who make no profit; so, too, if we might farm in our own way, without restrictions; so, too, if we had no game to keep, , and no poachers to pay rates for ; but all would be nothing without pmtection, and protection we must have, or there will be such things done as have not been seen in England for these two hundred years." A person listening said it would cost all the coro nets in 1 e the dukery ;" and another, all the coronets in the country, to re-enact the corn laws. To which it was rejoined by several farmers, " What have the coronets to do with it ? they do not find money and stock to cultivate the farms; they will get rent so long as a sixpence remains. See if they find us going in the same boat with them as once we did." (Cries of " Look at next elections.") The elections gene rally were here alluded to ; but that pending in South Nottinghamshire between Lord Newark, can didate of the landlords, son of Earl Manners, and Mr. Barrow, the candidate of the tenant farmers, was specially alluded to, as a proof that the farmers were no longer in the " same boat " with the landlords ; that they would not longer trust that privileged class which enforced all its pmileges and exclusive rights, urged its exac tions, giving the farmers sympathy in words, but in words only. And now I come to that matter which at beginning, I intended to be more particularly the subject of this letter—the game-tax upon the farmers, and the "peculiar burdens on land," spoken of in the late debate. It was given in evidence, by Captain Williams, the inspector of prisons, to the game-law committee of the Commons, in 1846, that of all England the counties of Nottingham, Derby, Suffolk, Norfolk, Rutland, Cambridge, and Huntingdon, stand highest in prison statistics for the supply of poachers to fill the prisons, Nottingham and Derby, of which I now particularly wrote, being foremost in that desti nation. It is difficult to say who are the most dis tinguished game preservers; but the Duke of Rut land's family . are not the least so; their property is extensive in the counties named; their sport ing amusements expensive, and their position as complainers of distress, prominent. The Marquis of Granbv, heir to the dukedom, member for Stam ford (the Marquis of Exeter's borough), spoke in the debate on Mr. Disraeli's motion for a re' ision of taxation for relief of the farmers. From tables of figures which were given to the committee of parlia ment by official valuers—l quote here from the pub lished evidence—it will be seen that the Rutland family . impose a burden on their agriculture far exceeding that local taxation which the marquis pleads before parliament and the nation to have re moved or reduced for their relief. It exceeds the local taxation, even where compensation is given ; but in those counties compensation is not the rule, except on the Duke of Rutland's estate at Haddon Hall. Mr. William Gauntlet', a land surveyor and farmer in Derbyshire, had valued the damage done by game on the Haddon estate for thirteen years with another valuer ; he for the tenants and the other valuer, Mr. Harrison, for the duke. Mr. Gauntley said: "The district to which I refer contains 3,773 acres of arable, meadow, and pasture land, the property of the Duke of Rutland. The land is let to tenants in quantities varying, from two acres to two hundred and fifty or three hundred acres, and is situate in several townships, one adjoining to another; the names of which townships are Haddon, Hastle, Alpert, Great Rowsley, Little Itowsley, Stanton, Birchover, Bakewell, and Over lladdon, varying . in value from 75. to 435. per acre, and averaging 28s. per acre. It has been the practice for many years (by direction of the landlord), to send valuers over such of the lands as were growing corn, to make a valuation of the damage done by game to the corn crops only; but the damage done to turnip crops lentils, clover seeds, meadow and pasture, has never been taken into account; the damage done to meadow land in the neighbourhood of the covers may be stated at front ss. to 20s. per acre. In the summer of 1814, 389 acres of arable land bearing corn were damaged to the amount of 9161., and that sum was allowed for damage. In the previous year, 1843, the acres in corn were 395, and the sum of 8971. was paid for damages, averaging 465. per acre on the whole quantity of corn laud, varying from nothing to nearly 10/. per acre." Some of the detailed items of the damage done to the same tenants in different years are worth looking at. 111}0: Mr. John Goodie, on 29 acres of oats, loss in bushels, 520: in money, 811. 10s. Mr. James Goodwin, on 23 acres: loss in bushels, 160 of oats; 36 of wheat; in money, 401.85. Mr. George Vuton: on 15 acres, loss in bushels, 276 of oats ; m money, 44/. 17s, Mr. John Shaw: on 29 acres, loss in bushels, 440 of oats, 117 of wheat; in money, 1481 10s. Mr. Joseph Shaw: on 16 acres, lose in bushels, 158 of oats, 14 of wheat ; in money, 31/. 3a. Mr. Thomas Torr: on 18 acres, loss in bushels, 360 of oats; 54 of wheat; in money, 80i. 2s. Mr. Thomas Worrell, on 01 acres, loss in bushels, 248 of oats; in money, 37!. In all, including farmers not named, there was of corn destroyed in that district 3,108 bushels of oats, and am of wheat; the money valuation being 694!. In 1843, the money loss was 897/. In 1842, on the same ground the loss in bushels was 1,632 of oats, and 420 of wheat; the money valuation, 4331. (The game had been severely killed the previous year.) In 1844, on the same ground the lose in bushels was 3,450 of oats, 996 of wheat : valuation in money, 916/. Need you wonder that the farmers arc no longer in the "saute boat" with their landlords, that they call the speeches of Disraeli and Lord Granby about their peculiar burdens " parliamentary chatter," that they reject the landlord eandidate,Lord Newark,and elect their owu man, Mr. Barrow ? But they pro mise to do more wonderful things than win an election. SPORTING. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA. EPSOM SPRING MEETING, 1851.
