There had not been that pressure arising from a want of employment which they had seen in many previous years. Ile did not think, however, that midi was to be relied on in the poor-law returns, because it was much more the fashion to refuse relief than formerly, and tlut made a great difference in the number of inmates of the union workhouses. The knowledge that persons had bad more employment than formerly made the guardians lees dis posed to grant them relief, and the difference might have arisen also from an increased desire on the part of the poor to dispense with sash relief. It was, however, a lament able fact that the number of persons in the county gaol was on the increase, for there were from 25 to 30 more than last year. lie could not account for it, but such was the fact, and he regretted to say that week by week the gaol had had a greater number of persons within its walls than it was wont to have. It was true that a great number of persons were sent there for small debts, but that showed that there was a pressure on certain classes of society. Some of the weeks ranged from 23 up to 2i more persons in the gaol than last year, and when it was borne in mind that the total number ranged from 130 to 150, they must see that the increase was very great. It was very evident that people would not commit crime if they were tolerably well off, but having been perhaps driven to it by stern necessity, they made a bad beginning and were led on step by step to commit greater crimes, and hence it made him think that the condition of the humbler classes of society was not so prosperous as some were in clined to think and represent. Thera was one thing, how , ever, upon which they could congratulate themselves, namely, that they had not reamed the price of labour more than they were justified in doing, and certainly not to an extent corresponding with the reduced prices of the necessaries of life. cumatanee we are inclined to attribute the paucity of the transactions. Beans have bung rather heavily on hand since ?Sunday, but sellers have not given way ; and neither English nor Egyptian were cheaper at the close than in the beginning of the week. Very few peas have come forward ; and, though the in quiry for the article has not been by any means lively, pre vious prices have been steadily supported. In the early part of the week there was some speculative inquiry for Indian corn afloat, and a good many cargoes changed hands at full prices; the demand has, however, within the last day or two again subsided, and prices are much the same as they were previously.

THE BANBURY AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. At the dinner which followed the 17th annual meeting of this society on Tuesday last, . . . . Mu. VERNON HARCUCHT, in acknowledging a tout, said, be was well aware that there were many persona in the county who were not satisfied with his parliamentary conduct, but a time would come when an opportunity would be afforded him of entering more fully into it, for an election would occur, when he should again offer himself u a candi date for their suffrages, and when he hoped that he should not be unsuccessful in satisfying them that he had acted hate -41 y, if he had not at all times carried out their views. (Cheers.) Ile entirely concurred in what had been said by hie excellent colleague (Hr. Henley) sa regards prosperity to agriculture, for no one could have more interest in its prosperity than himself—he had no other interest or income, and was connected with four counties. Ile could not but be impreased with the difficulties attached to the occupiers of the soil, and, as an individual, he had endeavoured to do his duty to those with whom he had been in connection; be had made reductions, which, however insignificant to meet those difficulties, varied from 10 to 30 per cent. (Loud and continued cheers.) He I•ad made those re ductions according to the nature of the land, and the claims which the tenants had upon him from their mode of cultivation. That, however, did nut meet the ewe in most instances, for they had to contend against a great reduction of prices. Ile thought, however, that it was a matter not unworthy of consideration on the part of the tenant, and would tend to induce him to apply Limself with greater activity than if no consideration had been manifested by his landlord for the difficulties in which be was involved. With respect to agriculture, its pros perity depended on three or four things—in the first place, on the skill, energy, and capital employed in the cultiva tion of the soil; secondly, on the favourableness of the sea son; thirdly, on the remuneration which the cultivator of the soil was able to obtain for his industry, and employ ment of his energies; fourthly, upon the due remuneration of the labourer, because unless suck a large class of society, who tilled the soil, and did the hard work for them, were fairly and properly remunerated, agriculture could not he in a prosperous condition. If in some respects they had to mgret their present position, they had to congratulate them selves on others, for at no pres ions time had the labouring classes been in so good a position as in this year. There never was a time when the labouring dames were more fully employed, and he made that statement not only from personal observation, but from official returns. the returns of the unions con firmed that statement, for they showed that of the able bodied labourers, there were in the last year 15 per cent. less than in the previous year, and this county stood in a remarkable position in this respect, because it was shown that on the Ist of J uly last there was 22 per cent. less in its unions than in the previous year. There was also a return made to parliament of those who were in these unions for want of work, and that number had diminished in the last year from 9,000 and 10,000 to 5,000 and 6,ooo—the number in July last was 5,000, whereas before it was 10,000. Emi gration had had, it was true, some effect in making this ehaage; but no one would attempt to say that it had ope rated to anything like that extent. Had they a prospect of obtaining better prices for their produce? He was scot there to regret the cheapness which existed, beams it vat not the tone, the language, or the feeling of an Imo* nom towards others—if cheapness arose from a bountifhl hem* and a favourable season, granted by Divine Provider*, as one should regret it; but, is looking to their affairs, it was desirable to know whether they might anticipate improved pricea. lle would not venture to hazard an opinion—there had been a larger introduction of foreign corn into this country than any one could have anticipated. He found, however, that agriculture was in an equally depressed state ai France, for he had passed the last week in Paris, where the tenants experienced greater difficulty in paying their rents than had been felt in this country. The average price of corn in }ranee for the last 22 years bad been 425. 6d. a quarter, whereas last year it was only 355. ; dur ing that period of 22 years it had been only twice so low as 355. He had passed two days in Belgium, and on in quiry as to the rent of land there, he found that it was toe. per acre; it was true they had no tithes, but they had a very heavy land tax. He did not believe that when the ports of England were open to all the world, corn was laxly to bear the price in fatale sears that it had in past years. Ile thought that, for spindly and quality, corn would be more remunerating Ude year than in last—the quality of the corn was better, rad thenfors it would come better into competition with that hem abroad ; the harvest *IS better, both with regard ke ears end hay, and he hoped that thei- corn would be at *err by the millers as to give them better flour.

(From the .Nark Lane Express.) BRITISH. - Though the barometer has gradually receding for some days past, and the weather has at times been dull, no rain worth naming appears to have fallen in any part of the country. Harvest-work has been actively pursued in the northern and backward districts, and, with the exception of a few patches of beans, the crops are generally secured in England. That the result of the harvest, as a whole, is favourable, cannot bo doubted; in some districts the yield may perhaps not have proved quite equal to expectation, hut with very few exceptions the growers express them selves satisfied as well with the quality as the quantity of the grain. The only subject of complaint is the very low range of prices of all kinds of agricultural produce : very good qualities of red wheat have bec:t sold at some of the markets in the agricultural districts this week at 335. to 345., and really fine parcels at 355. to 365. per qr. Unre munerative as these rates must unquestionably be, farmers have supplied the markets rather freely, which we regard as a strung proof of distress among the cultivators of the soil ; fur it can scarcely be imagined that, unless driven by pecuniary pressure to realise they would be disposed to part with their produce freely at the terms now current, more especially as the quality and cmadition of the new wheat are so fine as to offer strong inducement to hold. The trade has remained in a very dull state at all the leading provincial markets held since our last, and there arc no symptoms at present of the downward movement being checked. Ihe arrivals of breadstuffs front abroad have not been particularly large, but fair stocks are still held at most of the principal ports, which have been rather pressingly offered; and there has thus been more or less competition between the sellers of English and foreign, which has given buyers an opportunity to purchase cheaper than would otherwise have been the case. The decline has been quite as great at the large consuming towns as at the markets in the rural districts. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, great difficulty was experienced in effecting sales of wheat, and a reduction of ld. to 2d. per 701bs. on the rates current on that day week was generally submitted to, on old u well as new wheat. Later in the week there was rather less anxiety to realise, and on Friday prices were not lower than the preceding market-day. The arrivals of flour from America exceeded 2h,000 barrels from the Sth to the kith inst. The Yorkshire markets have beta liberally supplied with home-grown wheat. At Hull on Tuesday the quantity on sale was more than the demand could clear utf, and all kinds of new were quoted at 2. . to as. per qr. lower than on . . that day siestraight. The reports from Leeds are of a similar character, and at Bristol, Birmingham, and other largo markets in that direction the fall has been from Is. to Is. per qr. The accounts in regard to the state of the potato crop arc still of a very conflicting nature. In some parts of York shire, where this root is extensively cultivated, the disease is said to prevail to a much greater extent than last year, and many of the larger growers in the neighbourhood of the metropolis give a similar report. The real extent of the mischief will not be ascertained until the main crop shall have been dug ; our own belief is that the late sorts will be found to have escaped better than the early kinds, and that the loss will not prove so serious as many appear to apprehend. Meanwhile the markets in all parts of the kingdom ate being abundantly supplied with potatoes, and the low rates at which they are thing forced off naturally cause a very large consumption of this article of food, by which the demand for bread is sensibly affected. Our letters from Scotland speak well of the progress made with harvest; in the Lothians the crops arc nearly . secured, and in the northern districts the work was being vigorously carried on, tho weather having been as auspicious for eat ing and carting as could possibly be desired. Under these circumstances, the dull accounts from the south had hail considerable influence, and the trade was heavy both at Edinburgh and Glasgow on Wednesday, more particularly tor wheat. The potato-murrain seems to prevail in Scot land more extensively than last year, and some of the ac counts state that the dcatructiou is likely to be nearly as great as in 11146; but these reports require confirmation. The advice' from Ireland do nut speak so despondingly about potatoes as might have been expected, considering the increasing complaints on this side of the Channel. In the southern parts of the island there is, we are informed, com paratively little blight; and though the accounts from the north are less favourable, they are by nomeans of an alarm ing character . The corn harvest was meanwhile making tepid progress, and the result was expected to prove very satisfactory. Now oats of fine quality were coming forward to the different markets rather freely, and prices of all kinds of grain had continued to tend downwards. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into the port of Looks have been rather liberal this week, 6,470 VS. having hem reported; in addition to this supply, a considerable quantity has been received per railway, and there has competsently been a good deal of pressure on the market. The offers from Lincolnshire, Cambridgeddm, awl that neighbourhood have been sufficiently monwwww• the hot week or two, to influence the prices, and to interfere with the sale of the Essex and Kent supply. Very good quali ties of Lincoln red wheat (weighing 62Ibs. to b3lbs.) have sold this week at 365. to 3,5. per qr. delivered here, which is cheaper than any previous sales. The quantity brought forward from Essex and Kent since Monday has been comparatively small, and factors have consequently been unwilling to accept lower terms. The little business done on Wednesday was at precisely similar rates to those current in the beginning of the week, but on Friday it was found impossible to make progress at former rates, and at the close of the week some of the wheat dis played on the Essex stands on Monday remained undis posed of. The arrivals from abroad have been quite moderate, only 6,146 qrs. having come to hand during the week ending this (Saturday) evening. The falling off in the supplies of foreign wheat has tailed hitherto to have any influence on prices, and purchasers have experienced no difficulty in buying at former terms. The town millers appear to have still some quantity on hand, and hardly any country demand has bees experienced ; the transactions have consequently bees es quits a retail scale, and quotations have undergone no cheep requiring notice. A change of weather would probaMy cause an increased demand for old wheat, as there can De no doubt that the long continuance of a dry atmo sphere has allowed the new English to be manufactured with a relatively much smaller mixture of old than would be required if the condition of the former should fall off. Nothing of the slightest interest has been done in floating cargoes of wheat; the arrivals off the coast have been un important, and prices have in • great measure become nominal, for red Polish Odessa 30s. per sr., cost, freight, and insurance, has been asked , but the highest bid has not exceeded 29a. per qr. The town millers were not quite unanimous relative to the top price of town-made flour on Monday, but it has since been lard at 375. per sack. This decline has not influenced the value of other kinds, and fresh country household, as well as superior qualities of French and American Sour, have brought quite as much mousy as last week. Barley of home growth has come sparingly to hand, and the 'mesh has abroad have been suite trivial. The few lots Maw lath& forward from Essex and Kent have bean endly pissed, sad prices were quite as high at the elan as they were in the beginning of the week. Foreign lee lees taken to a moderate extent for grinding at tome, say 21s. to 2211. for light, and 225. to 245. for good ban e a g o We lave no improvement to report either in the demand or the value of malt. The neeipts of oats have been smaller than in any =week for some time past ; and the prevailing is, that the arrivals will for • while be mo dgeate.

Very little change appears to have taken place in the general tone of the corn trade at any of the principal Baltic markets. With scarcely any export demand, and comparatively little disposition to speculate, the tendency of prices hail it seems been downwards, but the decline hod not been anything like what it has been here ; and it would, at present, be impossible to import wheat from say of the Continental ports into Great Britain without loss. A good deal of rain appears to have fallen the first week or ten days of Septemlser, all over the north of Europe but subsequently the weather had become dry and fine.; The wheat harvest is reported to have given a goal return _ in most of the countries bordering the Baltic, but rye is very generally deficient, which will no doubt cause a larger consumption of wheat than usual, and in so far diminish the """ quantity for export. At Dantzie more business seems to have been done than at any of the lower parts. During the fortnight ending 111 1 13th inst.. about 9,006 qrs. changed hands, at the following rates :-High-mixed Upper Polish, of 631 b. weight, 40e.; ditto, 621 b., 395. ; fine high•mixed Lower Polish, 611 b. to L" 6211 n., 38s. ; fine mixed ditto, 375. • and Inland mixed, of m 601b5., 365. per qr. free on board. iye had been in lively re- to quest, and equal to 30s. per qr. free on board hail been 13 paid for the article. fre ights were low; for London two vessels had been chartered at 2s. and 2s. 4d., one for Hull or 1 11 . Goole at 2s. 4d., seven to the east coast at 2s. 2d., 2s. 4d. to u b. 6d., one for the west coast at 33.3 d., and one for the east coast f Ireland at 3s. Gd. per qr. Letters from Rostock, dated 15th instant, inform us that U the rain which hail been experienced in that neighbourhood aol In the early part of the month had assisted to support tle confidence of holders, it being the prevailing belief that the et, quality of the new wheat would not prove equal to the old. ot Fair stocks of the latter were still held, but supplies from U the interior had nearly ceased ; and, owing to the protracted 13 41 character of the harvest, ne deliveries of new of cone- gi quence would, it was thought, take place for a time. Under these circumstances sellers had not offered cool quali ties of wheat lower, 375. per quarter free ou board 40 having been demanded; but this quotation must be re- 1611 gardiul as only nominal, rio sales having for sonic time taken r : place. The wheat had been mostly secured ; and, the quo having become dry and favourable, the carting of so barley and oats,which had been interrupted by the wet, had to again been resumed. 11l From Stettin we learn that the weather had been St. changeable for some eight or ten days, but, as the harvest ri had previously been nearly finished, prices had not been influenced by the min. kor rye there had been a specula- to live inquiry, and prices had risen 4s. to Cis. per qr., in a at comparatively short space of time, owing to the reported So deficiency in the yield of that crop,. and to the belief that t ), the potatoes would prove extensively diseased. Mean while there had been little doing . in wheat for immediate si delivery, but for delivery in spring 355. to 3Os. fal. per qr., at free on board, had been paid for red Stettin. At Hamburg, on Tuesday, there was not much passing st Si. in wheat, and prices were about the same as before, say for if red Upland on the spot, weighing Gollis. per bushel, ge 375. 9d. per qr. ; while from outposts there had been offers of 6116. qualities at 375. to 38s. per qr. Spring corn had been IL in fair request, but the prices asked had checked business ; as for Ribs. new Saale 275. Gd., and for 6311 a. new Danish 141 ., barley, deliverable in October. '2ls. 6d. per qr. free on board ;,;* had been asked. Oats of 371bs. to 38Iks. weight, to be se shipped from the Danish islands, had not been offered to below 17s. Gd. per qr. free on board. The operations since to the previous post day had been altogether on a retail scale. tit. Our advice' from Holland arc without interest at present. ,"„ At Rotterdam little or nothing appears to have been done ,- for export in wheat, and prices were on Monday quoted precisely the same in that market as on that day sennight. From Groningen we learn that a few purchases of Oats hail • been made for England, but that the quantity shipping was not by any means large, the discouraging reports from hence :IL , having rendered merchants unwilling to consign. From France we learn that holders of wheat and flour ii ; had shown some disposition to raise their pretensions. At SO Paris, on Wednesday, the latter article was generally held Bt. If. per sack higher. f iu A , The most recently received accounts from America describe is the flour trade as dull, and prices still receding ; good is brands of Western Canal flour were obtainable at New York, ._ un the tad of September, at 31 dole. to 3 13-16 dots . per brl. So Some further shipments had been made for Great Britain, 50 but the exports had not been on a very extensive scale. Bt. .

Only one death had occurred during the voyage—an old infirm woman. The passengers spoke is highly of the treatment they had received on board, and presented the captain with a complimentary address. A second vessel, the Montezuma, containing 440 passengers, had also arrived just as the post was leaving, which will be so 11: satisfactory to the relatives of those on board. Them are three other vessels on the voyage, of which it is expected accounts will be received in a few days.— iketscian. EMORATlON.—Yesterday a meeting of three han drail/migrants was held on the deck of the Athenian • barepee-ngged vessel, of 670 tons, now lying in the Athenian, India Docks, for the purpose of hearing addresses from the Earl of Shaftesbury and other friends of emigrants, be fore leaving their native shores. The Athenian is bound for Sydney ; her 'tween decks are seven feet in height, and her sides are lined with cabins, of which each family occu pies one, proportioned to fts size. The proceedings of the day were marked by great cheerfulness and hope. to ESCAPE 010 ANOTHER CONVICT.--Yesterday, infor mation was received by the metropolitan police that ono- ther convict, named James Ashley, had effected his escape from the Justitis hulk at Woolwich. He found some St. means of procuring a disguise, as he left his convict suit of Se grey behind him. Ashley was convicted of burglary, Oct. 15 , 23, 1848, at the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to tea sears' transportation. He is well known in Hammer- gt. smith, Brampton, and Chiswick.

The purchases of the National Debt Commissioners have been renewed to-day, and with the support thus 4 afforded, and the intelligence of a marked rally on I the Paris Bourse yesterday, the English funds have assumed a much firmer appearance. The market opened firm at 96 to „I for cash, and, after touching 96!, the preser.t quotation is steady at 961 to for money, and 96_ to 1 for the 14th Oct. The official business list reports transactions as fol lows:—Three per Cent. Consols, 96, tl, 96, 4 ; ditto for account, 964, !; India Stock, 260. In the unfunded securities an ordinary business is going on, at the reduction established yesterday. Exchequer Bills rule at 435. to 465. prem., and India Bonds at 475. to 50s. premium. The foreign stock market is quiet, but participates in the improved feeling generally observable, and prices show a rally from yesterday's depression. Sardinian Scrip is much better, having risen to 21 discount. Spanish Bonds aro also firmer, though the situation of tho finances of the country, as exposed by our Madrid correspondent, is the reverse of reassuring. Dutch Stocks are looking up, as from the large surplus of 400,0001. shown by the budget just presented, it is expected tha a considerable sum will be de voted to the purchase of stock. Business is recorded to-day as follows : Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., ;Mb Mexican Bonds, for account, 30th Sept., 26. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1011. Sardi nian Five per Cents., 811 ; ditto Scrip, 3, 21 dis. Spanish Active Five per Cents. for account, 204 ; ditto Passive, al ; ditto Three per Cents. for account, 1. rhe accounts from Vienna bring a list of subscrip tions to the new loan; but though some names are down for considerable sums, it is evident there is an indisposition to make great exertions for a govern ment so out of favour and in such difficulties. The following arc some of the chief subscriptions : Vienna Town Council £240,000 Baron Sina Baron ltoth,child Arastein and FAkellea 300,000 M. L. Bietlermann 200,000 Stauretz Mayer Wertheinutem andiSon lOO,OOO In connexion with this, it may be mentioned that the Austrian finance minister attempted to rig the market, and succeeded in altering the quotations of the exchange on London, and serious consequences would have resulted to some of the merchants here, if it had not been that the publication of the tele graphic prices in the papers here set parties on the alert. 'fhe following statement, prepared and condensed front various official returns, will be found to present an intelligible view of the note circulation of the United Kingdom, and of the coin and bullion held by the banks indicated, both positively at the dates of the accounts last made up, and comparatively with returns for corresponding . periods : The subjoined table gives the aggregate weekly' average of the note circulation of the United King dom, as it stood for the four weeks ending the 16th, 23rd, and 30th of August, and the Gth instant, being the latest date to which the returns have been collectively completed fur all the banks of issue; and also the results as compared with the returns for the previous four weeks ending the 9th of August: Aug. 9, dep. 6, Imre ... 1651. 1651.

On comparing the above returns with the fixed issues of the several banks, we find the following to be the state of the circulation : The fixed issues of the private banks of England and Wales being at present 4,706,675/., it follows they were below the amount 1,487,523/. The fixed issues of the joint-stock banks being 3,409,987/, it follows they were below the amount 840,059/. The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being 3,087,2091., it follows they were above the amount 38,4821., but with specie in hand to cover the ex cess, and issues for 723,7561. besides. The fixed jssuesof the Irish banks being 8,354,494/., it follows they were below the amount 2,382,2371., with specie in hand to cover issues for 1,160,683/. more. . . _ _ e find, therefore, that the note circulation of the private and joint stock banks of England and Wales was 2,327,5821. below the amount authorised to be issued; and that, inclusive of Scotland and Ireland, the circulation was, on balance, 4,671,3371. below the fixed amount. The average amount of coin and bullion held by the Bank of England in both departments during the four weeks ending the 6th Sept. was 14,264,3591., showing an increase on the previous month's return of 382,3131. The average stock of specie held by the Irish banks during the same period was 1,160,6831., being a decrease on the return for the previous four weeks of 98,853/. The average of specie held by the Scotch banks during the same term was 762,2381.; decrease on the previous month, 23,1121. As compared with the corresponding period of 1850, the returns under review show the following differences in the circulation : Sept. 5, 1550. Wept. ISSII. Increase. I Decrease.

The intelligence of the difficulties anticipated at Sydney in obtaining adequate labour to shear the flocks, in conse quence of the shearers having started off to the gold mines, appears to be exercising some slight influence in tho market for colonial wools, and holders reluso to sell except at extreme quotations. Many homeward-bound vessels are known to be working up the Channel, in face of the easterly winds, and thus the imports of Wool continue very small. English Wools are attracting rather more at tention, at full prices. SMITHFIELD HAY MARKET.—THIS DAY. ?dews.

According to this account, the number of poor families in that year was 28,724, numbering 63,133 individuals. In 1829 the number was 62,705 ; 1832, 68,986 ; 1835, 62,539 ; 1841, 66,487 ; 1844, 66,148; 1847, 73,905. In order to form a just estimate of these numbers, it is necessary to give the amount of the population at each corresponding period. As the new census of 1851 has not been yet made, the population re mains officially in 18.50 what it was in 1847, : 1,034,096. For the other periods it is as follows .—ln 1829, 816,846; in 1832, 771,286; 183.5, 771,286; 1838, 889,313; 1841, 884,788; in 1814, 912,933 ; and in 1847, 1,031,096. The average number of indigent, as compared with the total po pulation, will, therefore, be in 1829, 1 in 13.0; in 1832, 1 in 11.1; in 1835, 1 in 1:5.3 ; in 1841, 1 in 13.3 : in 1814, 1 in 13.7; in 1847, in 13.9; and in 1830, 1 in 16.3.
