Uordm, of the aoth Foot, is Augeck 1, not June 20, as erroneously stated. The date of Ensign R. F. Holmes' commission, in the 97th Foot, should be Sept 26, and not the 23 th, as previously stated. THE REGISTRATIONS. LONDON.—The court yesterday disposed of the parish in Bread-street Ward (St. Thomas Apostle), and then proceeded with those in Bridge-street Ward. In the course of the day Mr. Arnold gave judgment in an adjourned case, that of Henry Prince , of Allhalluwa Bread street, who had signed two claims to be rated at the same time, but the claims had been served upon the overseer at different times, during the currency of the rates to which they respectively referred. The form of the claims did not specify any particular rate on which the party wished to be put, nor were they elated. There could be no doubt a party might authorise an agent to 'verve claims of this nature ; and as there was here no question gamut a tender , no rate being due, and as the party had evidently acted foul file, and in tended to make a claim to be rated, he should hold that the claims were good, and allow the vote. The Liberal objec tions sustained during the day were 11; failed, 31. Tory objections, 69; failed, 52. Of double objection., 21 were sustained, and 5 were withdrawn. Three Liberal claims were substantiated, and 15 failed. WESTMINsTEIL—Tho revision of the electoral lists, postponed on Monday, was resumed yesterday morning. The remaining cases were generaliy trivial.—Mr. Davis, cashier in the employ of Mears Elliott, the brewers, having been atrnck off on a previous day upon an objection made by the liberals, appeared to defend his claim to vote. The ground of objection was, that he had only a permissive occu pation of the house for which ho claimed. He proved ye.• teniay that a deduction was made from his salary on account of his residence ; and, on this account, Mr. :Hoyt= replaced the name on the register.—Before the rising of the court, the revision was completed, and the lists for the several parishes received the revising barrister's signature. The following was the result, in relation to political parties, when the books were closed:—Liberal claims allowed, 124 ; dis allowed, 37 ; Liberal objections sustained, 211 ; failed, 11 ; withdrawn, 9 ; Tory claims allow° t, 4: disallowed, 3. GREENWICH.—Thursday and yesterday S. It. Bosanquet, Esq., held his court to revise the li-ts of voters for the several parishes comprising the borough of Green wich at the Greyhound Hotel. The total number of claims were 153, namely, 111 on the literal side; 42 conservative aide ; and only 17 objections, the whole of which were made by the Liberals. There was not a single case of inters st throughout the whole •rocced ings ; the Royal Hospital party having been struck off without even making au attempt, with the exception of one Lieut. Bedford, who was supported in his claim by Mr. Jones, on behalf of the Liberals. The result of the revision left 24 votes to be added to the liberal interest. PROVINCIAL —Nolan DCRILIM. From an elaborate table of the total results of the revision of the North Durham constituency, published in the Sunderland Herald, we find that the Liberals have gained a majority of 183 votes. LANCASIIIRE.—In the Southport revision a case occurred before Mr. Marshall, which exhibits a great hard ship. A Mr. Richard Johnson claimed in respect of certain leasehold property which he had purchased from a Mr. Walker. And the objection raised was, that he had not pro cured a license fee ns the own. r of the reversion (Mr. Scans brick), which in usual under his lave. The learned barrister, after considering the extreme hardness of the case, decided that, in the absence of such license, and especially as it had been absolutely refused to be granted, the vote must be disallowed. The above decision will affect many others, as it is understood many licenses to assign have been refused, purely on account of the parties applying entertaining differ ent political opinions to those of the owner of the reversion. 11 EST RIDING OF YORKSIIIRE.—According to the Bradford Oiserrer, this revision has terminated in a gain of 770 to the " Orange," which we presume to be the Liberal BBRADFORD.—The Liberals have gained seven votes on the revision of this borough. SUNDERLAND.—In this Borough the Torit a have gained Gone vote. MALDON. The several lists of voters for this borough were revised on the 2Gth inst., before S. R. Bosan quet, Esq. ; the result of which was a gain to the Liberals of 27. MAYORALTY ELECrIoN. The numbers at the close of yesterday's poll stood as follows. Wood, 1,116; Carroll, 700; Hooper, 216; Farncamb, 1; Moon. 1. Mr. Alderman Wood then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. lie said he would not detain them long, nor was there any occasion, for the numbers on the board showed a steady progress during the course of the election. It showed their good feeling towards himself, for which he returned his sincere thanks. He was gratified beyond men sure at the way in which he was supported, and as the con-. test was theirs, it deserved commendations from him which he bad not language to exproes. It was the triumph of the livery, and Le would only remind them to continue their exertions to bring up as many as possible to the poll, and to. augment still more the majority in his behalf. ( Hear.) — Mr. Inglish said he came forward in justice to himself and Mr. Alderman Wood, to adilre -a a few words to the livery. It had been reported by certain parties that a compromise had been made between himself and Mr. Alderman Wood, with respect to some remarks which appeared m the Milting Journal of which he was editor. He thought sufficient had been said, and that Mr. Wood being now before the livery, the press had nothing more to do with him. He had his own opinion., and he had a right to vote for or against Mr. Alderman Wood as he pleased, hnt it was due to both that he should come forward on the present occasion find to acquit Mr. Alderman Wood of the charge made against him.—Mr. Holt said he was glad that Mr. Ine,lish came forward to acquit Alderman Wood of a charge that might do him mischief. He now believed it would be serviceable to him. He was glad to see the livery of London discharging their duties as they were on that Ocea , ;qn, by doing justice to an individual who had been much persecuted. (Hear.) In 1838, Mr. 'Wood was elected sheriff, and so well did he perform his duties that be re ceived an unanimous vote of thank... It was now their duty to see that he obtained the legitimate reward of his services. (Hear, hear.) —The proceedings were then adjourned. M ANBIOB-HOUSE.—The Lord Mayor yesterday gave a munificent entertainment in the Egyptian Hall to a party of about 330 gentlemen. Bes'des many city notabilities, the company included Admiral Deans Dundee, M.£., Sir H. Fleetwood, 'M.P.. Lient.-Cel. H. Hunch , Campbell, &c. &e. The festivities passed off remarkably well, the Lord Mayor Ming the utmost attention to his guests, as if he Pere at the commencement of his mayoralty, instead of at the close of a Tear of almost unequalled hospitality. In returning thanks for his health, the Lord Mayor referred to the great pleasure he felt at performing the deities which fell to his lot after the day's labours were brought to a close, and expressed his hope that there would be hereafter no abate- Lent in the hospitalities of the Mansion-house. Admiral D. Dlladas7 in returning thanks for the health of her 14L4c5ty's . . ._ ministers, assured the company that they were iulluenced by the strongest desire to render service to the community. Nothing could exceed th•iir anxiety to ameliorate the condi tion of the poor, and administer to the happiness of all classes. With truly hospitable civic chiefs, and truly considerate ministers, all which can be done by these causes to promote the public welfare will he performed. STATE OF POLITICAL PARTIES.—A meeting to take this subject into cousideration was held yesterday at one of the rooms of the Hall of Commerce, and was fully attended. Ebenezer Clarke, Esq., was called to the chair, and in a few preliminary observations stated that the principal object would be to hear an address' from Mr. Henry Vincent. That Gentleman then addressed the meeting at considerable length. After some general remarks on representative government, he contended that this was of all others the time for a reform in the representative system. The Anti-Corn-law agitation had ceased, but it had shown the nation the selfishness of, and had pro nounced a verdict against, the present system of repre sentation, and it required such a combination to show that it was not by the legislature that an odious monopoly would be removed. The success ot the Anti-Corn-law League had caused an entire disorganisation of political parties. It had shown the nation that it was not to be misruled by mere po litical factions; and no party could now exist that was not progressive, and which did not repudiate finality. This disorganisation of party had also led to independence of thinking and feeling. It was in this state of things that the friends of reform had thought it a fitting opportunity to organise an agitation intelligible in its character and de sign, and peaceful and Christian in its meone. They bad resolved to form a National Alliance for the Reform of the House of Commons, which in its orgauisation ehouid appeal to the middle and working cheers, which should extend the franchise under the present system; aid that a fund should be raised on the plan of the Anti• Corn-law League, endued' and miseionaries be disseminated all over the country. It would fraternise with every party which was em ployed on the peaceful work of reform. The movement would extend all through the countey, and the working-men would be roused to claim the franchise fur themselves. It would pre.s for an efficient repreeentation, for the vote by ballot, universal suffrage, and that the choice of the electors should be the only qualification for members of parliament. A working committee would be appointed, and it would be one object of the alliance to scatter instructi.n and temper ance through the country. He asked the present meet ing to pledge themsels es to nothing ; but all he asked was to give their plans a patient consideration. After a vote of thanks to Mr. Vincent and the Chairman the meeting ' separated. BATIIS AND WASII-HOUSES.—Last night a pre liminary meeting of the rate-payers of St. George's-iu-the- East was held to deprecate the, putting in force in that palish the act passed last cession fir the establishment of ha.hs and wash-houses. With a view to promote the estab lishment of them, a public vestry is to be held on the Bth instant ; but the meeting was of opinion that the attempt would lead to great expense, much jobbing, and increased taxation. A resolution to that effect was unanimously adopted, and a committee appointed to oppose at every stage the application of the act to the parish. BOTANICAL SOCIETY. —tOTATOES.—At the meet ' ing of this Society, held It* evening at the Society's rooms, 0 Bedford-street, Covent•garden, E. Doubleday, el e ilk Esq., V. i'., in the ha ir Jena . ommunicated a paper "On the Pots ase." •he or suggested, First, That a portion a sow t diseased potatoes exclusively, one being fly avoided. Se cen•lly, Taa 'on o ground whit s this year yielded diseased pit • left entirely und' rb^d ; if, however, there app any mixture of sound potatoes , that these be as far ssible removed. Thirdly, That a portion of ground byown in the usual manner, with the best potatoes that can be procured. Fourthly, That these ea.ind portions of ground be kept The* ilettiuct, beifiuse, if the disease be contagious, i msibly be communicayeeL from one plot of ground-t ther , and thus the experlinint be trus tee i . Fifthly, That a few diseased tubers be sawn in pots. lA, That-the results of the experiment tut faithfully T itted to some accredited person or society, with a ute description of the details, which shall be published, filer that each individual interested may form an inde- gr.odent opinion. FIRE Ed.C.APE.S.—At a vestry meeting of St. Leon ard's, East Cheap, yesterday, a letter was read to the Board of Guardians of the City of London Union, suggesting the propriety of providing a sufficient number of fire-escapes for the city. It was then unanimously resolved to adopt the suggestions of the guardians, and contribute an annual sum out of the parish funds fur the purpose of keeping tire-escapes, with persona to attend them always ready. NOVEL VOYAGE OF THE NASUAI: BALLOON. — It having been found that the Nassau balloon, which had been advertised to ascend yesterday evening, from Cremorne gardens, could not be inflated at the Chelsea Gas Works, Mr. Green was under the necessity . of calling in the aid of the Vauxhall Gas Company. The Inflation being completed, the balloon was placed in a barge prepared tor its reception, anti towed by the Starlight steamer up the riv. r to Cremorne gardet,s. The difficulty was as to how the two intervening bridge s could be passed. The sire of the balloon rendering it impossible to pass through the arches, and the only practicable way of surmounting the difficulty was to let it ascend, when it reached Vauxhall-bridge, and, holding it fast by repel, to pull it down again into the barge when the bridge had been crossed. The concourse of persons on the bridge and in the • neighbourhood which as.sernblcd to see this novel incident in aerostation was immense. After the balloon, with tea or twelve persons in the car, had ascended fifteen or twenty feet from the barge, it mane a sudden up ward move, and then descended RO close to the bridge that the spectators were able to touch the car. The s teamer and the barge having, however, passed under the bridge, the ropes fastened to the balloon were thrown back to the huge, and the vast floating body, having passed over the bridge, was safely brought down and the ear fixed in the barge, amidst the loud plaudits of the spectators. The time occu 'OM in all this was not much more than ten minutes. The same process was repeated at the other bridge, and the bal loon reached Cremorne-gardens in safety. STEAM NAVIG.ITION.—THE GREAT 11111 f A IN.— Th.. reputation which you have so rapidly acquired, induces me to address you respecting the &ricle which ap. eared in rut journal of Sept. 2,1, headed " The Great Britain steam-ship ;. because it is to be apprehended that statement., however incorrect, if gravely asserted in your leading columns, will be hostile adopted by many, peasib:y to their grievou s injury, on the faith' of your being the authortty on which thee lean. The re flections therein set forth, and Cie caution given, are of a nature to deserve every consider.tton front thaw who contemplate, not only an investment of their capital, but likewise to render the Investment profitable by the conveyance of pissefigers. They are also of a nature to merit the thani:S of the eublie, which lets not the means of ascertaining the fitness of the vessels which ate presented to it as the means of transport. It therefore becomes almost the duty of the leaders of the press to point nut, to the unthinking and unwary, the dangers bi which thee may become exposed by the cupidity or by the ' fanaticism of ludividtials. But, as respects the use of anthracite cm', anti its greater fitness foe steam navigition than bituminous coal, I presume that you are not acquainted with the Piet that it is new seven Tears since a strainer w as fttte.l, on the Talraec with bailers mad fur naces adapted to the esifrminption of anthracite coal, on the .Xuiericm Man ; nor that, ea nourishing were its prospect., the skeleton of a ceirextny was soon formed for the purpose of ettert-ag a change in the fuel used by u., through which cli Inge the public wos to be relieved from the intolerable nuisance which the smoke and sulphurdischarged front the funnel of a steamer never hill to indict. Comparisons, stir to those which you have iedted, were at that time put toeward, and a. , they obtained belief, they mewed subscriptions. The vemel started on its course of trials, lad seas unable to redeem the promises made in its name, and foe scheme, consequently. fell through. It was found , diarir,g'thise trials, that the ordinary English and scotch steaming *off , produced a better result, with , d ied weights, than our inithrseite gave; whilst, on the other hand, the bo'lers and fire bars, used for the new sestsm, were subject to a greatly inzreasel Wear uhd tear than those Used for bittuninous coal. This arose from the necessity of warm air to produce the combustion of anthracite and the processanthraacite, of roasting the air before it owed be advantageously " admitted to the grate ban; and also front the caloric being cruised entirely in the furnace, owing to which, it impinged, with an inconvenient intensity . , on the immediately Oro:ailment parts Mit rapidly for its absorption by the water. The canseqnencie was the destruction of the furnace sides and tops, which were *non burnt through, whilst the fire liars were rapklly fused. Mane contrivance- were devised to remedy the evil; but hitherto, t believe, without faleccs..; and, as see base the alterna tive in bituminons coal, we avail ourselves of it. Nor is the great awed of the American steam-vessels to be attributed to their fuel. The power of the engines will not be of acted by the quantity at the fuel, provided that fuel, whatever it, quality, is expended in such mode, and iu such quantities, as to produce ine requlred quantity of steam of the required pressure. TM- must be evident to you, on I reflection; and it is evidenced by the American stertMers thStliSeireS; for, although they have all, estaally, the reputation of exceeding speed, nevertheless sane of thee. sin only obtain green logs for fuel, whilst Miura have anthracite. The secret of the speed of the American !aid. is their Comparatively shallow drab of water, their vet y reduced sectional area of remittance, diminished in a greater degree than With US by the far greater length of their lines of incidence, by their obtain ing the required displacement by great length, and by the exertion of muck' more power than we apply to our vessels, proportionately to the resistances to be overcome.—Amet s. RItIE IN TILE PRICE OF BREAD.—Yesterday the 41b. loaf of wheaten bread was charged to Sd. by the cheap bakers, and9id.by the best bakers throughout the metropolis. NEW INFIRMARY IN Sr. GlLES'B.—Yesterday pre parations for the erection of an infirmary at the rear or St. Oilea's Workhouse, commenced, the present one having been found totally inadequate to receive the numbers of sick who abound in this poor and crowded boys ity. DISCOVERY OF A SKELETON .—iesterday morning some workmen employed in the construction of a sewer in the llampstcad-raml, near the Southampton Arms, Cam den-town, discovered an elm coffin, not in a very COJd state of preservation. On opening the coffin it was i 1,11114 to con tain a human skeleton, theb;nes being very larze. The skull had fallen to pieces, and, it is stated, appeared to b 3 severely fractured. The lower jaw contained ten teeth in an excel lent state of preservation. The remains were removed to St. Pancras workhouse, where they await a coroner's inpo'st. The prevailing opinion is that th.o remains are those of some suicide buri many Tears back in the cross roads. Th same workmen d iscovered a well, tO feet deep, four yards from the spot. INTERNATIONAL COPY EIGHT WITH SAXONY.— Lam night's Gazette contains the notification of a treaty entered into with the King of Saxony, whereby due protec tion has been secured within the Saxon dominions for the authors of books, dramatic works, or musical compositions, and the inventors, designers, or engravers of prints and ar ticles of sculpture, and the authors, inventors, slcsigners, or engravers of any other works whatsoever of literature and the fine arts, in which the laws of Great Britain and of Saxony do now or may hereaftsr give their respective sub jects the privilege of copyright, and for the liwful repre sentatives or assigns of such authors, inventors. designers, or enema-cr., with regard to any such works first published within the dominions of her Majesty.

On Wednesday evening, deceased was found lying on the floor of his room in a pool of blow', with a gash in his throat, dividing all the priucipal arteries, and nearly severing the brad from the body. A razor clotted with blood, with which the horrid deed had been committed, was by his side. A surgeon was prompt in attendance, who was of opinion, from the extent of the wound, that death Inuit have heed instantaneous.

The jury being satisfied that no one was to biome, returned a verdict " 'fhat the deceased hail hanged himself, being at the tune a patient in the institution." Tim PoraTo Dlsteesue—Sir : I quite agree with your correspondent, Dr. A. Thomson, that it is of importance that every ouggestion for removing tie prevailing disease tintongst pota toes should be made public. At the game time, you will no doubt allow, that it ie important the public should, if possible, know the value of these suggestions. Itr. Thontoon bast reproduced it theory of the disease which was much di-mooed during the early part of last year; viz., that the present state of the potato arises from its Molt didual age. Thi. theory assumes, that all plants grown from an in dividual red have a particular period of growth and decay: that, like animals, they perish atter the performance of a certain cycle of func hoes There lA, undoubtedly, Knee evidence for the support of this theory in ta.e death of annual plums, the decay of forest trees, Re.; but still there is not enough to render the theory . probable as to lead to any confidence Ls practical measures, flowing frum it, either in horticulture or agriculture. Many plants have been continued by cuttings from time immemorial, and have not shown evidence of de cay, Even with the potato itself the etiden ris not complete, as the oldest sorts of potatoes have not been those whirl] have bees rmst severely affected ; and at the present moment some of the oldest motto in the country are unaffected. The remedy, Man that motets itself from the admission of this theory has been tried. Potatoes have been grown from seeds In various parts of Europe, and have hal thedisease ; and although in souse instances they hove meals., these in/It-111NA do not appear to be more numerous than those amongst old sorts of pota toes. IZr. Thomson ouppoises that where disease Las occurred in seedlings, the seed was obtainel from already diseased potatoes. Cases of disease have been related in which the seed was obtained from potatoes before the present dismiss appeared; and a gentle-num slated at sne of the recent meeting, of the British Association at Southampton that a friend of his hod planted stasis obtained from the wild plant in Mesleo, and that all the produce of tie:se seeds were diseased. If we hail not facts o this kind it would rue unpitil,ophical to infer, without evidence, that the produce of the seeds of diseased potatoes must give a tendency to the some disease. No one, I think, can have attentively watched the development of this terrible visitation, and heard the various muses assigned and remedies proposed, without feeling that there is no single theory a the cause offered chit does not fail of proof, and that no one remedy is more entiled to corfldenetz than another. In this ease we are not assisted by analogy, for any resemblance that may be found to exist between this disease and those to which animals are oubjest can only mislead, if we suppose their Calttles or remedies are the some. Nor have we analogous eases, as for as l can learn, occurring in the vegetahle kinc dora, which, by affording a greater number of facto, and under other eiresimotaneeo, would enable us to draw definite conclusions. There is, however, no reason foe despair. A proper collection and arrange ment of isolated facts might still develop some general fret that has hitherto escaped attention, and point to both the source and the remedy for the disease. The chemist has not yet examined with suf ficient care the nature of the inorganic constituents of the Cabers and leaves of the potato in a stale of health and disease. Eaceptional case have not tarn examined with that rigorous regard for accuracy which can alone establish principles whether in vegetable or anitnal physlology and patbology.—l remain, 5:c., Enwra LA-sursren, • RERTS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. On Wednesday the exhibition of stock took place in a field near Hitchin, belonging to Mr. Willshere, M.P. The members of the society afterwards dinedtogether in a pavilion erected in the grounds attached to the Sun Inn. Lord Deere presided, supported by Sir E. B. Lytton, Bart.. Mr. Cowper, .M.P., Sir 11. !deux, Mr. Halsey. Di. P., Itc. Mr. Willshere, M.P., acted es vice-president. Covers were laid for above 300. After the usual toasts " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese" was proposed by Mr. Cowizr, aed respoeded to by the Rev. J. H. Steel, who expressed a deep interest in the success of every institution having for its object to pro mote the improvement of the social and moral condition of the labouring classes. He suggested that a prize should next year be awarded to the late.fursr who should in the interval spend most money in the education of his children at school; he would hires lt propose a prize for that purpose. At present they were not doing much, but they might do much to improve the social and moral condition of the labourers. So long as the agricultural population were suffered to re main as they were, crowded and huddled together in their wretched cottage*, they need not wonder at the prevalence of immorality, fur there were not the means of exercising the virtues of purity, chastity, and propriety. Lord Dacaz rose to propose the toast of the evening, " Success to the Hertz Agricultural Societ y. " He entered into some arguments and statistic , which, `being elsewhere quoted and commented upon, need not here be re peated. He then asleed, what interests could be mere enormous or more closely mixed up together. in which the failure of the one would more inevitably lead to the ruin of the other, than those of the landowners and tenant farmers? Their common and obvious duty was therefore to unite and combine—he did riot mean politigaly or unconstitutionally, but honestly and fairly, so that by mutual intercouse, informati n. and improvement in culti vation, they might meet the ditheultßs which might be contingent with their position and, if not overcome, might prove fatal to the country. (Hear, hear, hear.) He would not refer to topics which might irritate or lead to acrimonious discussion ; but whatever their opinion might be as to the result of recent measures, there they were with the lands of Befriend in cultivation—no inferior land thrown out of cultivation and converted into grass to starve a sparrow — with the broad lands of England in full, at least, in progres sive cultivation—there they were, enabled not only to hold their own, but to lend a hand te, the sister isle, which, har ing neglected the same devotion to land and to tenant rights —he said particularly tenant rights—was now in a state of alarming and all but focal destitution. (Cheers.) The tenants had rights ; they were too spirited not to obtain them, and, knowing their rights, they dared maintain them. (Cheers.) To oppress a tenant in England, or re duce him to two or three per cent, on his capital, was now out of the question; as much so as it was to drive the labourer to subsist Ott potatoes. (Cheers.) He fait con fident, therefi:re, in spite of 01l legislation, gno'l or bad, that the spirit of the agricultural body would overcome every difficulty, and that they would be enabled to main tain their position in face of the competition of the world. (Cheers) To uphold and perpetuate the true rattions of landlord and tenant, ha kasw of. no better meas..- meeting, as the present. • After some further obssrvations his lorraffiteilliFiffiesern amidst loud cheers. Mr. Wtheseette, M.P., proposed the health of "The Chairman," which was drunk with all threholmalise . The CHAIRMAN having briefly seknowite;ged the ear' plimeut, Sir E. BULwER LYTTON, Bari., before approechieg the toast which had been placed in his hands, offered his con gratulation: to the meeting for having secured the services of their noble chairman, for the liberal sentiments seed for the benevolent wisdom he had addressed to them, and to his lordship, for the satisfactiou he must feel in knowing that in such an assembly, composed of men of all parties and opinions, there existed but one sentiment with regard to him(cheerio); a bentimeut of gratitude for varied services, of adniiratioa for proved abilities, of rever ence for unsullied honour, and of affection for those kindly and urbane virtues which had never been checked by the pride of rank, nor embittered by the asperities of party. (Cheers.) He woo sure he was tittering their feelings, when he said he hoped, for many and many years, while their society held its meetings in that town, whatever else might change or improve, they might keep their chairman as he was (cheers), a specimen of that breed which no erasing could improve (cheers), a specimen of the true Engliefi country gentleman, with a head fit for every business and a heart filled with every charity. (Cheers.) He thought they could afford to smile, and without much anger, at the jests of those very able persons who in the newspapers sometimes condescended to instruct them on fanning (a laugh); gentle men, who were no doubt exceedingly Clever iu a variety of things, but who he believed would themselves own that they knew very little about cattle, except so far as related to the price of beef in their butchers' bills, and little more about turnips than as seeing them nicely mashed in a dish, as a not unimportant accompaniment to a boiled leg of mutton. (A laugh.) They could afford to smile at the jests, and even at the jesters, so long as they could themselves see more and more every year the practical utility of such associations, not only in the progressive improvement of their stock, which had been universally acknowledged, in their more complete implemente. and more systematic mode of farming, but, since after all man is a nobler animal than the fatted 'ex and prize sheep, in the epread of enlightenment among their farmers, and the spirit of independence among their labour er.. (Cheers.) lie thought the rev. gentleman who spoke that had done a little injustice to the results of the association, with respect to the lab niter himself. He was persuaded, from his own experience, that the m re example of successful prizemen in a village for good conduct, length of service, or skill in husbandry, had a very considerable and a very pm. greasive effect on tee whole neighbourhood. But he entirely agreed with him, that they must not limit the cases of the F e ociation to this object. Ile agreed with him, that the twitters w_re hound to du much by their example and friendly admonition. He agreed with him, that they egret to do much to render their labourers cottages more comfort able, and where there were no allotments to annex to their cottages a small garden. He thought they were also bound to make some pecuniary sacrifices, not in the nature of direct alms, which ought lobe avoided as much as possible, but as inducements to their labourers to join loan aud benefit socie ties, for clothes, fuel, and other things—) hear)—the best pecuniary sacrifice- Lowe% er, they could make, which would lee a blessing to those who gave and those who received, would be some extra work in the winter season. (Cheers.) But when the rev. gentleman called their rummies. to the deficiency of education, and proposed a prize to the labourer who derma the year had spent most money in the education of his family, Ise thought lie undertook a task which belonged to the Government. (Cheers.) The faults of the labourer were the faults of the law ; his virtues were his own. It was the fault of the law that the labourer had been left ignorant ; it was the fault of the law if he hail not been taught in his youth the salve of independence, the misery of intoxication, the fatal results of those disorderly habits which might per haps commence ha the venial offence of gaming a hare for love of sport, but led him step after step to the work house, the hospital, or the prison. These were the faults not of the proprietor, not of the labourer, but of the law, in no: providing a sufficient education for that class of the com munity. (Cheers.) The speaker next miseried to claims due from the landlord to the tenant, and proceeded to describe the duty of the farmers. Now that they had no longer high prices to look to, they were bound to see that the quantity they raised was in creased, and with this view he wished that Rime of their farmers would go over to Ostend and look jute the state of agriculture in Belgium. They would there see how every inch of land was put to the most advantage, and they would be taught to reflect how many corners of their own farms at home had hitherto been suffered to lie cumaarativi ly waste and unprofitable. (Cheers.) The toast put into his hands was one which became the society. It was not agriculture alone, but " agriculture. manufactures, and commerce" (cheers) : and he was sure the reception they would give to it would prove that theirs was not a selfish interest' that they waged no jealous and barbarous war with other comes which were sometimes raised in rivalry against them. They were the children of industry, and held out the right Land of fellow ship to every calling in which human Intel igence could reward manly labour. .1.4 Englishmen, they were proud of that commerce which hail spread their name Crum shore to allure, and of those manufactures which had subdued the very elements to the command of science, and made the pro gress of England the triumph of civilization (Cheers.) And they might hope that, as they expressed this sympathy with others, they would themselves be regarded, not as ene mies, hut as friends, when in their turn they came forward with their claims and expressed their grievances. (Cheers.) After other hopeful comment on the aspect of affairs, Sir E. B. Lytton proceeded : He for one was not disposed to take any very gloomy view of their pros peseta. In the first place, he believed in the spirit of the toast, that the interests of agriculture were the interests of the kingdom ; and if it were possible by any law that their welfare could he materially affected, if it were possible that their gentry could be driven from their halls, or that their farmers could be checked in the eareer of im provemeut, and driven to despair of their capital ; if that most alarming of all spectacles should arise, a rural popula tion demanding work and wanting bread; if such a state of things should be the result of any law, all England would arise as one man and craw it from the statute-book. There fore, if anxious he was not despondent, while he wit., content to abide the issue of any experiment which public opinion might seem imperatively to demand. No man could late what were the resource!' of the land, what would be the progress of science, the daily triumphs of ingenuity and die °every. The hon. baronet illustrated this by reference to the history of the silk trade of this country. It was only a few years since a countrywoman in Hampshire imported the silk worm and mulberry plant, and now the produce of her land, unsurpassed by any in Lyons or Turin, was 91!. Bs. Gd. an acre. Every day 'added to our experience, and the silk trade was but a type of the source of all human improve ment, namely, acute observation and practical and judicious experiment. Fur the rest he willingly hoped for the best, because while danger was distant and evil only apprehended. it was not its the nature of Englishmen to lie down and despair; still ley was that the character of the hardy tillers of the soil, the yeomanry, in whom were to be found the heart and pith of this great nation. From our rural popu lation the strength of our army and navy was drawn; our rural population peopled our colonies ; and if amidst the moot hostile climate., and surrounded by a savage race, the firm foot of the Englishman took root, and his stout arm cleared the pathway of civilisation to the remotest corners of the globe, the same spirit would thrive and prosper in spite of every dieceuragement, however fermi:bible, with which Englishmen might have to contend when tending their tlO-ks in an Euglish fold, or gathering Veir harvests under an English sky. (Laud cheers.) The health of " the Vice-Chairman, Ur. Willehere, and of the members of the county," havin been drunk, the prize! , were distributed. Mr. Hainworth g , a tenant-farmer, to whom was awarded a piece of plate, value 201., for the best cultisated ferns, proposed " the givers of the prizes." He advocate 1 the system of corn rents as the only one that could be adopted fairly to all parties. The health of " The successful candidates. ' and of the "Secretary and Trea surer,' and " Prosperity to the town of iiitchin," having been drunk, the meeting separated. • ~-- IRELAND. . - -- ---- - - DUBLIN, Orr. I. D UNGAR VON RIOTS.

On the Wth of July last, the Tweed, alter its junction with the Teviot, was higher than it lead been for fifteen years, hiving reached to within five feet of the celebrated flood of 1831 ' - but the Tweed itself was not so much Heeded as the Teviot, which latter was considered to have reached its height of 1831. Again, on the Bth of August !eat, the 'T weeeLat Kelso Bridge reached to within IS inches of the flood of .he 30th ; the Tweed on this occasion was mach larger than en the former, but the Teviot was considerably less. On both occa sions much damage was dune, large quantities of hay ricks, timber, carts, and even sheep, having been carried down the stream. We have now to notice a third flood, greater than either of the preceding ones, which took place ea Tuesday laet. Previous to Sunday last there had been • good deal of rain in this quarter, but the ge at e. part of rho latter day was fair, and even tine. During Sunday night, however, it commenced to rain heavily, and continual to do so, almost without five minutes iutermisaion at any time, until 'Tuesday night. The streams in the vicinity . began daring the time to show the usual effects, becoming dis coloured, and swelling rapidly ; and between eight and nine o'clock last night, the Tweed, previous to ita jurietion with the Teviot, was nine inches higher than in 1831 , and much higher than in either of the cases above alluded to; and tTell at blayfield, below Kelso Bridge (although the Teviot was not beyond the site of an ordinary flood) it reached to within three feet of the highest marked' 1831. As may be supposed, a considerable amount of havoc has been caused. Immense quantities of timber, rural implement*, railway sleepers, and other articka, carried away from the lower-lying greunds, came down the stream. Several fishing and ferry-boats else came down, and one of these, belonging to the person who keeps the ferry at Kelso Ana, was dashed against the Pier head, near Kelso-millr., and broken to pieces ; another belong ing to Captain Fulton, of the Holmes, rear St. Doswell's, wee ✓eeopieed at the Pier-head by his name beinz upon it, awl a ttempted to be got out by the bystanders ; but after t or three fruitless endeavours, it was carried away by the strength of the current. The terrace, known by the lAMC of the ChalkheuAh, which i. a great height above the bed of the Tweed, and commands a fine slew of I:P junction with the Teviot, is guarded by a stone a ill, beneath which, ter- I raced in the cliff, are small g ardens and shrubberies, so that , the wall is several feet s:lcsrard from the stream, as well as a great height above it ; nevertheless this wall fell into the gr,en below. A young man, Eon of Mr. J. hlurray, clegger, vs l i c e among others, was near it at the time, fell with it • but, though the height from the top of the wall is 13 or 14'feet, he sustained no leather injury than a few bruises; the houses onthe terrace are only a few het backwurd frern this wall. The g arden wall belonging to Mr. Mein, cabinetmaker, situated a little lower down the stream, and at the foot of the t e rrace, fell bodily into the water ; there wus then nothing left but the loose soil of the garden for the current to act upon • and it was fortunate the flood was then b• ginning to subside, otherwire the dwefing-hoeee would have been in imminent danger. We have not heard of fin tbei damage in the immediate neighbourhood ei Kelso; hit we than, no doubt, in a day or two , have accounts of the havoc h. both the upper and lower distriera We omitted to mention that the inmates of the lowest situated cottage st May had to leave their dwelling and take refuse for the night in the malt barns. The small river Eden which fahs into the Tweed, was also in high flood; the toft-house and other dwellings at Ednam were inundated by the bursting of large drain, and the inmates were compel to lease theft'. *. • I
