Visiting the poor was not all that was wanted. lie whom he had to pro was was one that be thought could n be excelled in his teithfal discharge of duty in the care of the parish.

ROYAL PARK AT BATTERSEA.—The Commission ers a Woods have now commenced the purchase of land required for the formation of this perk. A jury was sum moned on Thursday to award the compensation to be paid to Mr. Charles Chabot fir about three acres of meadow land, and one of there bays or indentation* in the river shore (for merly used as floating.dooks for umber), of which there are teeny between Battersea and Vauxhall bridges. The Attor ney-General, who eppeared with the Recorder and Mr. Welby on behalf of the crown, stated that the majority of the claims sent in to the Commissioners of Woods were such as to compel them to resort to the iotervention of juries, and that probably the present proceedings would be only the first of a aeries. The suns claimed by Mr. Chabot was 10,2121. The highest valuation of the surveyors called in evidence to enuoptpos,teihvismepleairmly, To u L a r i . n ge:lrt :o w n it o s t B t ,. l ? ) r i ivey r tor y s a w n as . lions were stated to have keen made upon the basis that the land, if not required for the park, would be let, in six ewe, roe wharfs and buildings. No witnesses were called on behalf of the crown, but it was shown that in the year 1833 Mr. Chabot purchased this land, at public auction, for 1201., before which time it hod for many years lain waste ; and also that, since Mr. Chabot became the purchaser, it had remained equally unproductive ; in short, that he had neither received any profit from it, nor laid out any money for its improvement. The jury, alter retiring for about • quarter of an hour, gave their verdict for 7501. We have looked, we find itt vain, this year, fcr • re petition of certain parliamentary notices —given in the autumn of 1846—which had festered hopes of further progress in the cause of metropolitan improvement during the lest session of parliament. Sine caul n, however, is excusable en the part of the government, if such be the ge neral character of the claims resorted to on these occasions. They must be taken, it is evident, and broken down in suc cession ; and as this is on operation of time, and of no little labour, every other proceeding in the same beneficial dine d= must, in the meanwhile, be suspended. We trust, how ever, that no time w U be lost in disposing of the remaining claims, if there be any remaining, of equal magnitude in amount, and with so little pretension in reality, as that which we have just noticed ; and that the government will not hesitate in agaia resorting to the plain sense and honest judgment of twelve intelligent gentlemen, to prot ct the public (we night also say the claimants themselves) against such wild and visionary estimates as were produced on this cedion.-06sereer. AN M.P. MAY DEMAND MS WAGES.—SOUL may that Andrew Marvel was regularly paid hie wages as long as be served for Hull ; but I believe he only received from his constituents yearly .• complimentary cook et herrings. I know no remote in point of law, why any member may not now insist on payment of his w ages, or, if he never me ios to stand again for the same or any other place, why, in point of prudence, he may net insist on his rights. In most cases the proceeding would be what in the law of Scotland is called " an action of repetition," to recover back money wrongly re ceived. For this point of the people's charter—rayment of wages—no new law is requXed.—Lor d Campbell's Lices of the Chancellors. INQCEST, SATURDAY.—ALLEGED MATRICIDE. — Before Mr. Baker, at the British Oak, 13alticatreet, St. Luke's, on the body of Hannah Sutton, aged 74, a widow, lately residiog at 13, Memel-street, in the above vicinity, whose death was alleged to have been caused by the vio- Lena of her eon William, a cabman. The deceased, who had been living with her two daughter', had enjoyed excel lent health up to about five weeks since, when a quarrel took place between the son and his sister ; and the deceased interfering received a severe blow on the right eye, which felled her to the ground. The dispute was in consequence of some property in the place, and after the deceased had somewhat recovered herself, she tried to expostulate with the accused on his brutality, when he became more eursged, and dealt her some heavy blows about the head, and the poor creature fell insensible. She was put under medical care, but never seemed to recover the effects of the injuries. The prisoner was taken before the maeistrate for the assault, but was subsequently discharged.—Mrs. Clementson, who knew her, felt assured that her death woo the result of her eon's violence.—The inquest was adjosigned till after' pod mortem examination shall have been mad*. THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. The following letter, which was alluded to in a leader in this paper on Satierday, appeared recently in the columns of one of our morning contemporaries " Sir,—There is now is circulation among a very few, and almost by stealth, a letter of indescribable importance by a carrier, who almost 40 years ago, then wrote as well as ' he fought — it s scripsuse ad belasse—and now, in his 77th year, writes even better than he did then. " His theme is the condition of this country as regards I invasion, and his statements may make the stoutest heart tremble. He enters into every detail—be names, from per sonal observation, the most likely places for debarkation—he proves the ease with which it might be effected—he displays the nullity of our means of defence. We have no militia — very few and very distant regulars—from 9,000 to 10,000 alone available at home—little artillery, n i arms in store. He says, with infinite pathos, ' I have now lived 77 yews, and lived is honour ; God grant I may not live to see tie conaquencee of refusieg the plans of defence which I have in am submitted to three ministers.' " He afterwards proceed, to demand serene the most moderate, and with them he undertakes to secure vas. His terms are 1.50,000 militia, and some 10,000 or 12,000 addl. , tional soldiers of the line. " In all these disclosures there is no secret bat to ear selves. Our enemy knows the weakness of every ounpany, squadron, and battery, the distant stations (extra Gars mantas mid lode), of every battalion, as well as they are known at the Horse Guards. With an ambmeador at the capital and a consul in every port, there can be nothing hid. We are no longer 'gainst invasion sod the hand of war safe.' The country, moreover, requires to be told that it is no longer insular, that it is connected with the continent by a causeway of steam; that it contains, perhaps, the least warlike population of any in Europe, untrained and untaught in arms, and slow to learn their use. It should also remember, that almost all manly sports, and boning in nerticular, has been put dawn by act of parliament, and with it much el the national spirit ; that athletic games are diseourag g b a l the puritan, and falling daily into disuse ; that dm dexterity of our fingers has been bought at the expense of our strength and mantes ; and that the want of the warmth of our factorise would send 10,000 artisans, from their first bivouac in the field en a rainy night, to the hospital. " Let us then emetrast these fruits of a 32 years' pews with the state or the invaders. His African eem paigns have been made by every regiment of his 360,000 men in Meth. These have been inured to danger as to evilly privation, and they have ownhsotsa habits of blooiisi end devastation quite unksews la Europe for oasheria.

That such pas sins prevail en the opposite coast, not only in the breasts of iamiadien, but Wang its statesmen, philosophers, and is proved too fully in the works of Lscretelle and I and even De Tocquerille himself, who, in his recent with Louis IV."), displays an animosity to this country art Leasslialde en the part of so great a writer. He dwells mesa doh Added naval triumphs, and gravely says that a her* Mesta of 30 guru took an English 64.

We love peace, and we shut of ayes to every provocation. We are content with a bass d ieesarity unknown to any other people in the world, Me do we believe that an unappeased enemy is ever on the watch toren occasion to pour his legions among us, and to stri k e us, not at Calcutta nor Jamaica, but in London or Dublin. " The [great duke, conversant with this, and well marking the coarse of things, alone raises a prophet's voice. He in vain calls upon this and two other governments to take the most ordinary precautions. No minister has yet had the hardihood to come to the house with this document in his band, and throw himself upon the country, imploring it to make provision against a hurricane that may break over us in an hour, whilst our squadrons are at Lisbon or at Malta. All that wOolti be required would be an insurance of IMO two or three per cent. upon the greatest accumulations of wealth ever yet heaped ap by man.

" There are many, however, who, in spite of this autho rity, will deem all this a chimera; men so puffed by the vietories of the last war that they have forgotten its reverses till the hour that Wellington took the command: men who warmly recollect the eonvention of North Holland, the disastrous retreat from Dunkirk to Westphalia, the di►graces of Fulteney, Whitlock, and Preyed. They will scarcely admit that if thin country breeds a noble race of soldiery, she does not rear great generals. Cumberland and Closter Severn exist not for them, nor Cornwallis nor Burgoyne. They remain as confident as if' the perfect machine' that marched from Lisbon to Toulouse was ►till embodied, and they exclaim 'We have always be►ten the French and always shall.' Let us, then, take no precau• eon, prepare no arms, foresee no danger ; above all, train no militia, add nothing to our weak artillery ; keep the navy low, for it is chargeable ; let us fill our coffers lull, make our exchanges, game in railroad., and sing of Indian battles and past victories, foretelling future ones ; for we hold ourselves invincible, though un armed and unprepared. Let us spare our purses till the French army is heard of at Havre. We may then believe the danger imminent, and will permit a tax to be raised while the fleet is coming from the Mediterranean. Give WI but a little time, and you will see how we shall acquit ourselves. Vittoria and Waterloo (their very names) will deter, and we have sometime quite enough to do to pay our calls.' But, gentlemen, you may have neither time nor tide, and the very battles you invoke are burn ing in the breasts of your enemies, are the very incen tives to their invasion. It is to cancel them that they ere come. It is to efface them by bringing indelible disgrace on youtself, that they invade you. Be provident, be wise, tere.arrned, endure. Give 5 per cent. of your vast profits— above al, turn not from the courier' of the great warrior, grown grey is serving you at home and abroad, in peace an in war.

The letter, of which I have only given a few of the heads, is long, and goes into every part of the subject. Quod nerckc malum, et quad msximd pertinet ad ace It is addressed to Sir John Burgoyne. IRELAND. Dosurc, Disc. 4. However disturbed Ireland is, and however peril ous the position of many of the Irish landlords, the conduct of the Roscommon gentry is not likely to diminish local disorder or proprietorial peril. They are deserting their ground, and in other respects acting with extreme imprudence. At the funeral of the late Rev. Mr. Lloyd a most singular scene took place—the appearance of the gentry of the county armed to the teeth with muskets and fowling pieces, and further guarded by escorts of police. The Long ford journal, describing the event from the letter of a correspondent, remarks :—" The as sassin said, when he shot the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, " that is two out of the twelve landlords of }telecom mon we have shot now." The foremost of the re maining decade, Mr. Lloyd, of Rockville, accordingly made his appearance, guarded by three friends, armed with guns and pistols." Another of the Ken ' tucky imitations was Mr. Devenish, also with plenary escort, and bristling with arms. However much we many condole with the condition of the Roscommon gentry this general armament looks very like bravado, and something like a stimulant to coercive application. The conversion of a mourning procession into a display of menace and force was foolish and uncalled for. This was not the mode of reuniting the shattered affections of landlords and peasantry. Neither the circumstances of the country nor the ap prehensions of the gentry required each a sacrifice of common sense. The violent among the conservative party are not satisfied with the new Arms Bill. They do not con- I ceive it half stringent enough. The remedial sugges tions are of the moat varyio? description. One re commends free quarters and mcquetting— another, 30 impositions of a good cat-o'-nine-tails, by a stout drummer, on the back of a peewit, and at his own door, who knowingly concealed his fire arms, or har boured a criminal. A third, domiciliary visits and transportation for all offences under the act. The Mail, however, goes beyond these necessities, and thinks nothing whatever has been done without in cluding all accessories before the fact," meaning thereby that the Roman Catholic clergy should be prosecuted for " aiding and abetting." This would not prove a tranquillising policy. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The Nenagh papers to-day record the death of Devaae, the man who wu beaten near Berrokane, and in whose head, whips the Nike found him, a sharp pointed stone wee embedded. There are five persons in custody as participators in this murder, all of whom wero found in company of deceased when discovered by the police, and who were hold. lag him upright at the time, telling the constables he was drunk. In the pocket of one was found a stone with blood marks. There are not fewer than 987 perms in the county gaol of Cork, and 353 in that of Clonnier; of the latter 92 are females ; and on Monday last 27 individuals were committed on charges of all kinds, from murder down to larceny. On Thursday a rumour not authenticated appeared anonymously in the Dublin journals, announcing a renconter between the police and the violators of the peace in Limerick. To-day full particulars are given in the Limerick papers, and the facts stated prove that little sympathy exists between the well-intentioned farmers and the violaters of the law. On Wednesday week last it appears a party of the armed perpetrator* of outrage visited several farm houses near Ballingarry, in the county above-named, and levied contributions. In two houses, the dwellings of farmers (Noonan and Curtin), they did not obtain any " but an apology was made, and it wu re quested they should call on another night, when " the ready" should be forthcoming, and they agreed to WHAM Monday. This was make-helieve, however—it was the police, not the money, that was prepared for them. Notice of their visit was given to the constabulary, and seven men awaited them near the houses to be visited. The disturbers, it would appear, were also on the watch, for not one of them approached the houses until after four of the seven polies had departed, when they were deceived into the expestedenthat all had gone, and the Rockitee appeared, and use loathed at Noonan's door. The door was opened, and he was invited to enter. He declined, and the money was handed through the door. At this moment the cos stable in command of the party rushed forward and grappled the scoundrel, who called out to his friends to come to the rescue. The constable was immediately fired on and wounded. He retuned the lire, so did his comrades, and one of the attacking party fell pierced by three balls. I shall let the local paper tell the Meantime, Noonan came to the aasietanee of the head constable, otherwise his prisoner, who was an active short fellow, would have probab ly made his escape. The other cowardly ru f f i ans fled, Waving behind them their dead companion and their captured ringleader, whose name is Ryan, and who has been committed to gaol to take his trial for the offence. He lived within a quarter of a mile of the spot. The man who was shot also lived near, and was well known to Noonan. He has left a widow and four orphans to deplore hie unfortunate end. An inquest was held on his body on Wednesday before John Cox, Esq., coroner, and a verdict of justifiable homicide returned. The remnant of this armed party, from the reception they met with at Noonan's, did not think it prudent to pay their pro mised visit to Curtin's." Deese OF THE Roy. THOMAS )(Aoolo3. — Tbis TOY. gen tleman, oelebisted RAI controversialist in the Roman catholic church, and P.P. of Ballinamon, in Leitrim, has died of fever.

An anti-game-law meeting, under the auspices of the Anti-game-law Association, is to be held in Stir ling to-day. This is carrying the war into the heart of the enemy's camp. An interesting game case is now before the first division of the Court of Session. Capt.Wemyse,the late liberal M.P. for Fife, came into court craving that his tenant, t Mr.Gulland, at Newton, might be prevented from hunting, pursuing, or scaring game on the farm of Newton, by means of muzzled dogs, or by dis charging fire-arms loaded with blank cartridges, and likewise from entrapping game, killing or injuring game on the said farm by means of snares, set under the pretence of killing rabbits. It appeared, from the defender's answers, that the farm of Newton adjoins the grounds of Wemyss Castle; when he entered on his lean in 1839, the game was not by any means plentiful; and that game had since accumulated to such an extent, that he " employed persons with guns loaded with powder only, and accompanied with muzzled dogs, to rid his fields of the destructive pestilence that bad hitherto rendered them barren." This measure was successful, "and not one precious head of game fell a Bearlike to the experiment." The respondent also admitted that he employed a professed rabbit-killer to rid his farm of rabbits by means of snares. In pleading for the defendant the Lord-Advocate admitted that • tenant, without a qualification, had no right to hurt or to kill game ; but he stated that, he knew no authority in the laws of Scotland which bound a tenant to feed or to preserve game on his farm for the benefit of his landlord, to whom belonged the right to hunt or shoot. Game were jean natures —they belonged to nobody. If a tenant planted • field of potatoes, or of wheat, he was entitled to pnt scare-crows up in different parts of the fleldil and the landlord was not entitled to say that it was illegal to do so because they scared not crows bat pheasants. Upon the same principle, a landlord , could not object to boys with rattles being placed on different parts of a field to frighten away either bares or pheasants. He went a step farther than this. if the hares or the pheasants had sense enough to eat in spite of this noise, he held that the tenant, as in this case, was perfectly entitled to take dogs, and, having muzzled them so that they could not touch either the feathers of a bird or the wool of a rabbit, to send these up and down the farm, to bark and to soars away pheasants ankl hares from destroying the crops. His lordship said he had great compassion for hares in the " family way," but if the barking of the dogs, or the firing of the blank cartridges, had the effect of causing them to miscarry, he could not help it. The court signified that interdict would bo granted, but formal decision was deferred till to-day. The report that a magnificent episcopal cathedral was to be erected in Perth has been contradicted—a plain church being all that is in contemplation ; the latter is certainly more in keepin g with the general liberality of the body, as it is a singular fact, that notwithstanding the Scotch episcopal church numbers amongst its members a large majority of the landed proprietors of Scotland, and that recent pre'. byterian disunions pared the way for its advancement, no denomination in the north is so sparingly subsi dised. At the last annual meeting of its church so ciety it was reported that the expenditure for one year for schools, building, and augmenting incomes of clergy and bishops amounted only to 2,0351. The death of the physician of the Glasgow Fever Hospital was mentioned the other day the matron of the establishment also died yesterday. In one house in a Glasgow wynd four bodies of fever victims were one day lying for burial. The influenza still prevails in country districts. In Kirkaldy many shops had been closed, and it was with great difficulty that the Stirling Observer could be put to press, from the defi ciency of hands in all departments. A PSUBDO TIME6t.COMMIaSIONITi " IN THE RIOH- L'ANDS.—Bight or ten days ago, rays the Inverness Courier, a gentleman quartered himself in the " King's Arms," Fort Augustus. under the title of " The Times' Commissioner," having with him a female "commissioner," and a young rising "reporter." For eight days the "commissioner" was entertained, living, as the saying goes, "at hack and manger," and spending his leisure house in the joyous re creation of getting drunk with the soldiers, This happy life was at length broken in upon by Bonita*, who—having re ceired a hint from the resident policeman—presented him self and his bill of 31. before the commissioner. This unwel come visit resulted in the immediate departure of the female and the boy, who curried off with them the more valuable property of the special reporter, in one smell carpet bag. The representative of the Times, finding his purse empty, set about recruiting his finances, by a liberal discharge of begging-letters, addressed to all the more influential people about the place. The manoeuvre was singularly unsuccess ful—not a farthing could be raised ; and as his credit was gone, the swindler bullied the landlord—got drunk, by way of taking farewell of the King's Arms whisky—and de camped about dusk, leaving behind him an old carpet bag, containing some worn-out articles of dress, NI a souvenir. PROVINCIAL. --- CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN INDIA.--Advicea were received by the Manchester Commercial Associa , ion on Friday morning, from the Ent India Company, that the court of directors had directed 45 bales of cotton, grown from New Orleans seed, the produce of their farm at Coim batore, and imported per Olinda from Cochin, to be for warded to Manchester for sale. They are consigned to the secretary of the association, and it is understood that in a few days samples will be on view at the rooms of the Com mercial Association. This cotton is stated to be of a very pig quality. SABBATH OBSF.RTANCE AT BOLTON.—A charge of assault, heard last week before the Bolton magistrates, hes called attention to some strange practise. of the authorities of that borough, for the purpose of enforcing the observass• of the Sabbath. In the case immediately in question, ft pears that Mr. Scoweroft, the late mayor, amompadel by the churchwardens, constables, and others, was, on Beaky week, patrolling the streets, according to custom, do= hours of divine service. In the course of his penult he perceived the daughter of a barber standing at her father's door. He ordered her to go into the house and shut the doer, which she refused to do. Ile then ascended the stem and, according to the girl's statement, he pushed her, and newly knocked her down ; accerdieg to his own, she re treated hastily, and !tumbled. The ex-mayor then shut the door, end for the time the matter ended. A summons was afterwards taken out, and the case was heard before the magistrates, who, in consequence of the conflicting evidence, refused an application to bind over Mr. Scoweroft, to answer a charge of I assault at the next Liverpool assizes. MOROSE AT LIVERPOOL.—On Thursday an inquest was held at Liverpool to inquire into the cireu rastanoseatised log the death of Michael Haddllun, aged 19.

The deceased returned the blow, upon which his former assailant, assisted by his brother, Thomas Roderigo, again assaulted him. Deceased then went out of the house and was followed by the two brothers, who again struck at him and knocked him down.

KILLING A DAUGHTER. —ln Netherton village, near Dudley, on Tuesday last, a mother killed her daughter, 17 years of age, by stabbing her in the side with a piece of red hot iron. On the day in question, deceased, whose name was Caroline Fayell, and her mother, who bears an excellent name in the village for her industrious habits, were at work in a shop making up nails. Deceased was careless of her parent's advice, and had been detected stealing pieces of iron to procure sweetmeats. About two o'clock she was at her work, when her mother accused her of pilfering. More iron was missed, and she had something in her mouth which she was sucking. They both became greatly excited, and she told her parent " that it was a ." This t xasperatod the latter to such an extent, that she threw a piece of red hot iron at bee, and unfortunately it penetrated the daughter's side to a fatal extent. The girl was immediately carried away in excruciating agony to an adjoining chop, and in the course of an hour she expired. At the inquest held on Thuratlay, Henry Smithman said he apprehended the mother by the bedside on which the deceased was lying dead. She was in great distress of mind, and on being charged with the crime she said, " Yes, I did it ; tell you all about it. My daughter is • very bad girl. We were at work in the shop, and 1 found she had been making away with the iron, and on complaining of her conduct she used bad language to me. I was making a nail at the mower's, and being in a great passion I threw the piece of hot iron at her. I had not the remotest idea of hurting her to the ex tent I did."—Mr. Mainwaring, • surgeon, said the iron en tered ender the right arm, and penetrated the lung.—Ver diet, " Manslaughter " against the mother, who was sent for trial. THE CHARTIST ESTATE.—A correspondent of the Gloucester Journal thus describes the politico-agricultural colony recently founded in this locality " Not a market day passes but I hear some of your good friends, the farmers, engaged in hearty dismission a. to the probable success ter failure of Mr. O'Connor's allotment scheme, widthe present condition of the fortunate prixeholders under it. But I know them of old to be prejudiced against any alteration cf the time-hononred system of agriculture, and, as their state ments are very conflicting, I determined to judge for myself, and there being a fine day, last week, off I started for Lowbands. The first glance of the estate im anything but attractive to an Englishman—to an Irishman it must appear a kind of model Tipperary. ' The nnmerns. ...stages dotted up and down the farm—the plan of the buildings, the sitting and sleeping rooms on one floor—the entire absence of all plough culture, and the general adoption of spade husbandry, give it quits an Irish appearance ; here the resemblance ends. The settlers are an intelligent, sensible, and civil body of mechanics, who have left their profitable occupations in the north to enjoy, in the west, what they describe as • noble independence. Well, good luck to them—if they do not succeed in their object the fault will be no more theirs than Mr. O'Connot's, when judgment was sadly at fault in his selection of the spot arm which to try his plan. The distance of the Low estate, from Gloucester, is shout nine miles ; it is nearly all.; arable, and the soil, in most parts, a strong wet clay, unfit, since the last rains, to be much worked until the spring. It is not even the soil the holders most require; they want better and ' earlier' land, for raising spring vegetables, easy to be worked at any time. However splendid the expecta tions of the allottees may be, if they look to profit they must be content to sink down into a class of market gardeners. They have note draught horse upon the place, and consequently they are compelled to pay others for hauling their coal ; the coat to them is 20s. per ton, Se. shove the price at Glonomier. Mr. O'Connor has bad the estate partially drained, and the 'biomass planted with vegetables .• but the drainage is minnibly defective. Tho morning I was there several of fire egottees were engaged in letting down the water from leek allotment, upon those of their neighbours. tisiless more main drains are speedily cut to suit the eon wise the holders, they will find that, after a deep 11 et now and a sudden thaw, it will be next to he steMis. the there in health ; this is the more requisite Ike sitting and sleeping rooms being on the ground /seer, 11117 =lst necessarily be damp.

She was afterwards removed to the residence of her soya in Queen-street, but she died this afternoon. This sad catastrophe is supposed to have arisen from a candle having by some accident ignited the curtains of the bed in which Henry Yoel, 60 year' of age, a cripple, and bed-ridden, was lying; and that the injuries sustained by Mrs. Yoel, who is 84 years old, was c mad by her efforts to mucus her son. Attention was attracted to the room by smoke beiog seen to issue from the window, about seven o'clock in the morning; the window, it is surmised, having been opened by Mrs. Yoel to prevent suffocation. IMPROVEMENTS IN FARYI NO AND GRAZINO.--On Thursday the Sturminster Agricultural Society had their annual show and dinner. The beasts in the market for sale (says the Sherborne Journal) were quite an average, but a far lest number were offered in the showyard for competi tion. The quantity of breeding stock was greater than that of last year, but in the fat stock the /idling off was consider able. This was attributed to the circumstance of gtasien having been induced to realise by the high prices which were obtained some time since. Some of the animals shown were possessed of a large amount of merit, especially the fat cows. The choicest fat stock soon found purchasers, but the middling qualities hung on hand. Prices were from 12e to 12.5. Gd. per score for choice haute, and from 9s. 61. to 10s. Gd. for middling qualities. The dinner took place as usual at the Crown Inn. M. Err Seymer, Meg" 112, presided. The prizes having been annoneei and dis tributed the Rev. A. limitable addressed the com pany, in the character of a succesafel candidate. Me said, I can't help thinking that these competitions for stook are calculated to do a great deal of good. I think the little rivalry and emulation amongst us is likely to induce as to get good stock ; and now you have put it into my head, I will mention some circumstances connected with the selves which I exhibited which I think deserving of some little notice they have never been out of doors. They have only, on the average, had half • pound of cake since they were born, and I think that, winning a prize under such circumstance:, they have not done amiss. In truth, if there is anything worth imitating in my farm, it is the manner in which the young stock is brought on. They have never had any hay. It is not that I deny the value of hay-whea I sac get it for nothing ; but if we cannot get more than a ton per acre, it is not, in my opinion, the best use you can snake of your land. Stock will do without hay and without cake too. I have rather a large dairy and rather a large quantity of stock, and I found they ate an enormous lot of turnips, so much so that five or six hands were always cutting, and carts continu ally hauling them, and I began seriously to think of hay again. I soon found out the defect, and by using hloody's hand crusher instead of Gardener's turnip cutter, and by cutting to-day the turnips which are to be eaten to-mor row, and mixing them with a few baskets of straw, I now do with 801 b.. or 90Ibs. of swedes where I formerly used 2001bs. And that was not all. I never in my life saw such an improvement in stock as in mine daring the six weeks that I adopted the pla i. The practice is, there fore, I think, worthy of your attention and approbation. And when the caws were what is called " sued," I took some of the liquor of the swedes that were boiled for the pigs, and poured it over the straw, and it gave it such • turnip flavour, that they ate it with readiness. I had about 300 letters in ut month, and if there are any reporters here I shall be glad if they will assist me in giving this notice, that in future I cannot think of answering long letter about agriculture. One question asked, above all, by clergymen keeping only two cows, is about stall-feeding cows, and keeping them on boards-Does it answer; and how much is the return ? I have had eighteen cows on my winter farm since this time twelvemonth, end though I cannot tell you that they were picked cattle, I think you will be of opinion that with these eighteen cowl I have net done amiss. Allowing for the nine calves which I reared for stock, with new milk for eight weeks, and afterwards with skim milk for three months-allowing fur them 31. 10s. a piece, or 311. lOs. fur the lot; for calves sold fat to ba`cher, butter, and cheese, 1501. 10s. for whey, for forty weeks, 361. ; the total will be 2181., which divided by eighteen gives me a re turn of 121. lOs. a year for each cow. I don't think you will consider that maim. If they had been walking about the fields they would have required three acres, and according to this method they did not have one. But then there is the attendance. There is an old proverb, which I don't care to quote now, that he who makes a dairy pay must live very close to the dairy-maid. Well, the attendance of these cows coat me Is. per week, or 21. 12.. a year. Each cow eats 11. worth of linseed, here is 31. 12a. as • draw beik, but then you will recollect I have no end of manure, end I will sipped to you whether I have not a right to set my manure against the attendance. I therefore get 121. • year per cow, which I promise you next year shall be 141. I announce, therefore, to the world that • clergyman may keep two cows upon boards, if he likes. Well, gentleman, as to sheep. Persons press from all parts of the world t• take the measure of my sheep sheds. 1 recollect Mr. Far quharson and a host of gentlemen of his hunt came to see my bill farm two years ago, and they saw some swedes, and the general opinion was that they were very well for fatting stock, but not for breeding stock. I failed for two yeses running, but this year I'd almost challenge any man's lambs m the county. They were born in February, and I put them up two months ago, which was as soon as the wet weather set in. I want them to pay me 50s. • head before next March. Mr. Rewriter, when he saw them, judiciously remarked-don't you think older stock would do better-I do think to ; but I'll tell you what I have done with these ; I picked one from each pea, and weighed them on Nov. 8, and again on Nov. 29. No. I weighed 10511 e, and afterwards 11511 n-gain, 1016. N 0.2, 9811 w. and 1051 bi. -gain, BM No. 3, 9411b5. end 1091b5.-gain, 151bs. No. 4, 961bs. and 1121 be-gain, Ifilbs. Total gain on the 4 lambs, Mlle., which, divided by 4, gives an average gain of 1211,1. in three weeks, or 411 e. per week. Now I have taken the pains to read all the prize essays and annals of feeding, and I don't fled anything approaching this. Those sheep were kept perfectly dry, and what do you think they were eating ? Yon would suppose they were fed on cake and linseed ; they were not. My 200 sheep consume daily 100 baskets of tur =seighing 371 M. per basket; they had nothing else but and straw. Now I want to know if they go on like this - lamb will put on 41bs, of live flesh in • week, do you think I have been a fool in putting up those sheds which coat me, two years ago, Is. 3d. per foot. Now, with regard to pig., I recollect last year there was a gen• tleman very sceptical about my treatment of pigs, and I said it was •mg secret. There's nothing like a secret, gentle men. I've had letters from all parts of England to know my pig secret, and I have had one from Indiana, in America, that shows what en anxious desire there is about experi ments in agriculture, supposed to be correctly recorded. I have letters too from Paris on the same subject-all running on the pig secret. Whether it is because a pig's stomach is more like a men's stomach than any other, or whether it is on account of the famine in Ireland making pork so high I in price, I know not. I have weighed four of these animals twice, at the distance of a week apart. I find number one weighed 4 seore, 161 bis., and 5 score 51be-gain, 91hs. ; num ber two, 4 score 181 be., and 5 score 71bs.-gein, 91be. ; number 3, 4 score, and 4 score 101 M-gain, 101 W. ; number four, 3 score 31bs. ' score and 4 lib-gain, 17114. ; total gain, 451 be., which divided by 4, gives an average of 111 be. to each pig; it having consumed 111te. of barley meal and about 1 cwt. of swedes boiled down per week. At last I think I have got to perfection, not only in pig feeding, but in pig sleeping. I have altered my plims five times, and have now got the right one: and that is what I call experi mental farming The The pig is a most modest animal. The otter part of his sty is made by me as uncomfortable as possible ; he stands on rails, and as soon as he has eaten his food he goes back and lin down, which is what I want. The dung drops down, or a great part of it, through these rails, and is taken away to a shed. A ptg will never do so well as when you give him half a pound, of good meat • day. I give him some bacon and dripping, robbing the cook of her perquisites, sad I also give him Loading dripping.

THE GREAT WISTIERIC RAILWAY COMPANY D. THE BIR MINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY COMP AN CTION GRANIIID.—BROAD AND NARROW GAUOR.—Mr. J. Parker, Mr. Bacon, and Mr. Willeock were heard on behalf of the defendants, after which a question arose whether a motion in a cruse suit by the company and shareholders in the Bir mioghain and Oxford Railway against the directors of the company should be heard before this motion was decided. The 'Vice-Chancellor said he understood that the second motion was quite distinct from this, and he therefore thought it would be better to dispose of the present motion flirt. His Honour, without hearing a reply, then said it was his opi nion, subject to any question which might arise about the use of particular words in the form of the injunction, that he was bound to act upon the prim iple he had adopted upon the demurrer to the bill, and he must as far as possible keep things in the urns state as they now were. He could not allow the ultimate question, whether the agreement of the 12th November should be carried out, to be affected by any intermediate act. It was perfectly true, as counsel for the defendants had contended, that the Birmingham and Ox ford Railway Company could not make a binding agreement for the sale or lease of their railway to the North Western Company ; yet they might make a contingent agreement in the same way that this contract had been made. He would not introduce any words with reference to that; but the principle upon which the judgment of the court proceeded on the demurrer would authorise him now to say that the parties should be restrained from making er entering upon, or attempting to make or enter upon, say agreement for the sale, lease, use, or occupation of the Birmingham and Ox ford with the London and North Western Company: the words, "or any other company," which were introduced would be useless, and might, therefore, be omit ted. The scored part of the injunction applied for to restrain the defendants from dealing with the railway in disposing of its monies, property, or effects, without the approbation of the plaintiffs, he understood was abandoned. Then followed this clause: "And from passing of giving effect to any resolution, or doing any other act, for the purpose of preventing the payment of the call of 61. per share, as in the bill mentioned."—His Honour said that this had nothing to do with the present application ; it bad only reference to the actual call made. The last part of the in junction was to restrain the defendants from doing or omit tang to do any act, the doing or omission of which might be • breach or notation of the agreement of the 12th of No vember, 1846. His opinion was that, consistent with the priaciple upon which he had ovet-ruled the demurrer, he ought to grant the injunction in the form asked. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. 81Ildnire In Banco. Tux Quests r. LONG.—THE KENTISH Town P•vrito Ac-re.—This was a writ of mandamus, commanding ono et the magistrates of the police courts of the metropolis to iserse a warrant for levy rag a sum claimed as paving rate in reopen of the ownership of a house in Southampton-terrace, Kentish Town, by commissioners under a local act. A return was made on which several issues were milted. The cam was Met, and a verdict given for the crown 'morally. A rule RIII tar a sew trial was afterwards granted on the ground of The footpath had been originally made by emniefeners under an act pared in the onsion of the 4 & 6 VIM. which declared that • the management, pavements, dust, and filth " of the footways within certain limits ittbe " the property "of those commisioners. In exe cuting their powers at the particular spot, the commissioners made into spared footway as wells 5 feet footway over which they had jurisdiction, as two additional feet in width from the carriage-way, which is the property of the commissioners et metropolitan turnpikes, north of the Thames, who ma mated to the appropriation. The resistance to the writ was banded on this supposed excess of authority, and the ques tion was whether a subsequent statute, passed in the 6th Vie., had so cured the original illegality as to justify a de mand of rate for the additional two feet. If it dad, the judge had left the case properly to the jury, when he told them to say, without reference to the enlargement, whether the foot way for which the rate was demanded, was the same as that en which the commissioners had originally had power Ito epaate.—Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., Mr. Bogen', and Mr. Howarth, showed ones against the rule, which was sup ported by Mr..
