THE CABLE TELEGYLML—TiIintIt Morning, about half-past ten, after working through night, the :1 entire coil of telegraphic tackle was safely demsfted by the :1 workmen on board the Bluer.

Two powerful steam tugs, the Joseph homes, belonging to the Thames Steam Towing Company, and the Red Rover, with steam up, were in readiness alongside. A rope from the Red Rover wee thrown on board the Blazer, and made fast to her starboard r i t t ; s ter, and in this way she was towed into mid-stream. • pause in order to right her she was towed at four miles as I hour down the river, the second steam tug remaining in C. serve, and riding alongside until such tame u the Red Royer had towed the revel into the reaches of the river, ' when both tugs took their places and accompanied the Bluer by her paddle wheels, as it were, arm in arm with a third tug in advance. The convoy had then to shape its course down the Hope, the 840 Reach to the Nom, past the Moose Light, the Teague by Margate Sands, the North Foreland, Margate and Deal, to Dula, where, after touching probably at the bore, it was expaged to arrive by day-break this morning.

" — d t it:Ag amel g= MI6 Sept. 11:-607L 1860: UK LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, a ROYAL RER'TS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. Yesterday, the anniversary of this society was celebrated at Hertford. The ordinary competition for prizes took place in a field outside the town, and shortly afterwards a dinner was given at the Town-hall, at which Sir E. L. B. Lcrrox presided- In proposing health and prosperity to the Hertfordshire Agricultural Association, _ _ The CHAIRMAN said it was now six years since lie had the honour to occupy that chair, and to propose to them that toast which it was now his pleasing duty to submit to their approbation. Many he now saw had not been present upon that occasion, and many who were there that day he missed from that aasembly. Looking acmes the hall, he fur his part missed one who had before engaged their favour by his spirited specimens of stock, and who had graced their meet lag by the original and manly bearing of their true En glish blood. But he was then vice-chairman and hie absence was well supplied by tho gentleman on his right, and he trusted that that absence would be compensated for by his return ; for as they always welcomed back the birds who left them in autumn to return in spring, so he trusted they should find him returning to his own agricultural pursuits and hail his return as a token that lighter days are ono, 11,11111 dawning on the farmer. Connected with this subject was the recollection of one whose exertions had always been directed to the improvement of his neighbourhood—one who could return to them no more, but who had left behind him the memory of his virtues and the example of his useful and beneficent life (Cheers.) It seemed to hies as natural that their first duty, meeting after tbe Amen of one who had done so much to promises the oriselture of the county. gp€l.. what was beat sousest kbutio sensuous between landlord end tenant, s▪ hould be to pay • tribute of respect to the remains of the late Lord Deere. (Cheers.) He knew of nothing that so encouraged the young in their career of honour able exertion and the cultivation of kindly sympa thies, and nothing that so consoled the old wheu they looked huh on the sacr ifi ces for others which they had made) u Ihsit they should on all suitable occasions find that they had • Maim upon the affectionate memory of good men. (Cheers.) He was sensible of the manner in which they had received that reference to departed worth, and be trusted that the feeling elicited might be so represented by the gentlemen of the press, for it was not to be measured by applause, that it would convey to the family of him whom they deplored —convey to his respected and popular representative, and to his noble and distinguished widow—that consolation which was ever duo to those who had sustained • mighty loss. Turning now from these melancholy subjects to more congenial ones, let him speak of what occurred to him when he inspected that rival ex hibition at the Crystal Palace, for most of them had had occasion to be delighted when they saw all the products of lsbour and the doctrines of improvement brought into one place, the result of emulation, excited by competition and skill, rewarded by honourable prizes, he asked him self if there was anything already in our national customs which, though on • smaller scale, had objects simi lar to that great experiment. If, for instance, oar manufacturers, merchants, and traders had been in the habit of making some annual exhibition of their products and recompensing by prizes their must successful rivals and competitors. But not among the manufacturers were instances like these to be found. Suddenly, however, he bethought him of the farmers and agriculturists whom it had been the fashion to say were working iu ignorance, and were averse t 3 competition and enterprise; and straightway he remembered that in every shire and county the agriculturist did assemble, produce specimens of their skill, and reward from their own resources those who, by the improvement of their land and of their stock, added new inducements to industry and new wealth to nations. Thus it was that they, the owners and occupiers of the soil, who had set that example not before followed by the fabrication of silk and cotton, had given an annual exhihnien of their skill, and had stimulated competition, from which they had never shrunk, provided it had been established on equal terms. It was nearly a century since agricultural societies had been established in these kingdoms, and during that period energy and enterprise had not bees wanting to the Bri , ish farmer; and this was proved by two facts. In the first place it was stated by Mr. Porter in his work on the progress of nations, that in the year MI. 10,000 acres of land supported 3.800 inhabitants, and OM now owing to their improvements in agriculture the mum number of acres supported 6,000. Secondly, it was stated by that celebrated political economist, Mr. M'Culloch, that during the last eighty years • sums of more than sixty-four million a year had been added to the agricultural produce of Great Britain. With confidence then he appealed to :the representatives of all parties, and asked them whether those two facts were not sufficient to show that the British farmer had done his part towards maintaining the national character fur spirit, and enterprise, and progress, and whe ther the welfare of the whole community were not insepa rably connected, who were able to add that vast amount annually to the wealth of the nation ? (Cheers.) After . . - allusion's of a general character to the more esiecial ob jects of the day, and of the business of the farmer, in re ference, for instance to the use of the drill and dibble, Use American reaping machine, the growth of fiat and chicory and the employment of machinery, Sir Edward proceeded to say, parliament having done so much in the way of par cept and advice, in sending out lecturers and advising the tenant farmers, ought now to taketstates on different invest in them such capital as a farmer might be sum= to invest, place upon each both • good practical fanner 1 and first-rate scientific chemist, have the accounts methodi cally and regularly kept, and open to every person : they would then get an accurate idea of the precise cost of every single experiment, and if it should be proved that large profits might be made at present prices, then they should have, for the first time, something like an authoritative ex perience by which to guide their researches and stimulate their exertions. It was said that the farmer traded without sufficient capital ; but why fix this upon agriculturists alone ? What was England but one vast system of loans and credit? Was it not upon that system that she bad extended her empire from an island scarcely discernible in the map, to a nation on which the sun never sets ? Was it not by the system of loans and credit that she had been enabled to meet single handed the armies of Napoleon, opposed by the sole ener gies of a Wellington and a Nelson ? " Nothing venture, aotkiag hats," was the maxim of the Anglo-Saxon, whether be tusk a ism or founded an empire. It was not the bead et mils bat the race of men, for which he cared. Si was plead MI leek amend him and to see the faces of *me who led bemat severe and prelonged hardship with resolute energy, sad who, whatever they might have thought of recent legislation (into which it was not per mitted him to enter), had maintained unshaken their loyalty to the institutions of their country, and who, whatever they might think of the sharp competition with foreigners to which they had been exposed, had still done their best like Englishmen. If complaining, still not disheartened they had - shown the sure energy to struggle and the same seal to improve. Justice had not been done them, but when did justice ever fail to men who had the courage to contest for it, and the wisdom to unite (Cheers.) He conjured them by all they held dear, by the memory of those who had preceded them, to hold fast by the common ties which bound together all the children of the soil. He had done so in brighter days. Now in darker and more adverse days he called upon them to act upon the same principle, and as far as possible to resemble the old English oak of which they were the emblems, which not only adorned the soil from which it sprung, but built up the ships of the merchants, and carried over the seas of the universe the splendour of our commerce and the renown of our flag. Believing that they would not disdain the honest counsel which he had given them, he now, with deep sym pathy for their present sufferings, and, believe him, with sincere hope for their future prosperity, gave them " perity to the Hertfordshire Agricultural Society." Other toasts followed, and the proceedings terminated. FATAL ACCIDENT TO ME. FIELD, OF TIM BANK or ENOLAND.—Tbis morning, at eight o'clock, Mr. Francis Field, of the Bank of England. expired in the accident ward of St. Thomas's hospital, from the effects of the injuries he had received, on Friday last, by being ran over by a heavily-laden waggon, in Princes-street, Cornhill. Mr. ld'Murdo, the eminent surgeon, has been unremitting in 11 , 1 attention to the unfortunate gentleman, who was deeply respected and highly connected. Mr. W. Payne, the coroner, will hold an inquest on the body to-morrow )Friday.) FATAL ACCIDENT WHILE BATRING.—On Mon day seven young men went on the Mansion-house Quay to - bathe, and the whole reached the jetty of the bridge, where they remained a short time. They then leaped into the water again and had only been a minute or two in the water when one of them named John Fox, aged 72, be longing to the Butcher Bank, was caught by the eddy caused by the tide, cried out b e was droning, and implored help. The others, instead of rendering him assistance, swam to the shore for safety and left him in his perilous actuation, and after struggling much for some time he was drowned in the presence of a large number of persons. Six boats were soon in attendanee with drags, but his body has not been found.—Neincrufft Guardian. THE TRIAL OF THE LOCOMOTIVES on the Mont &emu:tering has terminated.

The improvement noticed in the lails;ayellre market has within the last two days assumed the character of a decided rise. Business to-day is brisk, and in some descriptions, including more especially Great Westerns and Lancashire and Yorkshires, the transactions have been to en extraordinary amount. Nearly all lines are to-day quoted higher, and, after the late depression, the advance, which is materially assisted by the favourable traffics, wears the appear ance of being genuine. Great Westerns have to-day reached 81i, being en advance of about 31. since yes terday. MAMA AND Osmium ...sokp m . AmWq6i Imamatii,l66 saTa.wZ: l ate Wir e Jua-late ed.

A further improvement of 1 per cent. was observa ble in the English stock market during the earlier hours of business this morning, the usual purchase on public account giving an additional stimulus, and the price rising to 96,, both for cash and time. A slight reaction has since occurred, however, but the present quotation is still t higher than it left off yesterday, being called 901 to for cash, and 961 to 2 for tho 14th of October. The government purchase was the first money bargain of the day, and was effected at 911. The official statement of the day's business is as follows :—Three per Cent. Con sols, 961, 4, Z, 4 ; ditto for account, 964, 1; Three per Cent. Annuities, 1726, 951; Annuities of 30 years, expiring 1660, 71, 3-16. The market for the unfunded securities has assumed a somewhat steadier look, and quotations arc better maintained. Exchequer Bills rule at 435. to 465. prem., and India Bonds at 475. to 50s. prem., without a great deal of movement. Though still inactive, the foreign stock market wears a steady appearance, and prices arc in most instances firmly maintained. Spanish, Peruvian, and •••• Atte to-day rather better, the scrip of the t named loan having rallied to 21 discount. Venezuelan Bonds, on the other hand, have , been sold at a lower figure, in consequence of no definite advises having been as yet re- 1 mired relative to the decision of the council of government on the agreement for the settlement of the debt. Equador and Grenada Bonds are also flat, with the intelligence of fresh revolutionary move ments in each of these unfortunate states. Mexican Bonds are rather steadier, though little disposition is evinced to support the market, and most of the late speculators for a rise in this stock have " turned their accounts." The figures at which business has been transacted to-day are as follows : Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 931. Dutch Four per Cent. Certifs.,92l, Z; ditto for acct. Sept.3o, 921. F:quador Bonds, 31. Grenada One-and-a-Half per Cents., ex Dee., 1849, Coupons, 14. Mexican, 26, Peruvian Five per Cents., 1819, for account, 90. Sardinian Scrip, 21 dia. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 201; ditto Three per Cents., 37. Venezuela Two and-a-Quarter per Cents., 29. We have received a very lengthy communication i from the committee of Spanish American bond holders, regarding the Venezuelan debt, which may be compressed into a few lines. Up to the 26th August, Mr. Lord, the agent of the bonholders, had not been able to obtain the sanction of the council of government and the signature of the pre sident to the agreement proposed on the 26th June for the settlement of the arrears of inte rest. The Finance Minister, however, had stated that its terms had been accepted by the government. These terms are, that the four years' interest due up to the Ist of April last, amounting to 192,1461. bloll be capitalised in Five per Cent. bonds, and that a special annual appropriation of 10 per cent. on that amount shall be made, one half to be applied to the payment of dividends upon it, and one half to the redemption of the principal. Also, that the remit tances for the purpose shall commence forthwith, the estimates of revenue for the current year showing a sufficient surplus. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. eastern, Giustiniani and Co., held yesterday,at No. 8, Frede rick's-place, Old Jewry, Mr. Lc Breton in the chair, a statement of the assets and liabilities was read to the meeting by Mr. Coleman, the accountant, and the meeting having come to the conclusion that it was expedient that the affairs should be wound up under a deed of arrangement, with the supervision of inspectors, it was thereupon resolved that Mr. Whateley, of the firm of Le Breton, Whatelev, and Co., and Mr. William Kettlewell, of the lonian Bank, be requested to be inspectors, with the power to appoint a third inspector. That a deed of arrangement be prepared with proper provisions for the winding up the affairs under the above-mentioned inspectors, and for securing the due liquidation and the early distribution of the newts pro rota amongst the creditors, and according to the rules of admi nistration in bankruptcy, and containing a covenant by . Mr.Castelli to carry on such liquidation under the inspectors, and covenants on the part of the creditors not to sue Mr. Castelli for twelve months; and that the inspectors shall have power to enlarge that time if they shall deem it necessary; and that at the expiration of such period, or of such enlarged period, and upon Mr. eastern assigning the outstanding assets to trustees for distribution among the creditors, he shall be released from all claims. ' The deed shall also contain such other provisions as Tare usual in deeds of inspectorship, and as shall be approved of by the inspectors on behalf of the creditors. That creditors, according to this arrange ment,:shall not be prejudiced as to any securities or lien they may be entitled to, or as to their rights against third parties. That the signature of this memorandum, or of the deed of arrangement, shall not prejudice the rights, remedies, or position of any creditor against or in respect of the parties at any time members of the fi rm of Castelli , Giusti niani, and Co. That the inspectors shall be at liberty if they shall think tit to release to Mr. Castelli his furniture and such other private property at his residence as they may think fit. That in the meantime, until the deed of arrangement shall be executed, a copy of these resolutions may be submitted to the creditors, and shall form a memo randum of arrangement for the administration of the affairs. The thanks of the meeting to the chairman were then moved by Mr. Cunliffe, and seconded by Mr. Chapman, and carried unanimously.

GOOD DIGESTION.—A fews days since some melt engaged in outside painting on the premises of a Mr. Bennett, near Lochlade, Gloucestershire, having left work for • short time, on their return found that some pigs run ning loose had invaded the barn which they had occupied, and had devoured a canful of lead colour, a compound of white lead, lamp black, and oil. Much fear was enter tained that the deleterious mixture would prove • fatal in side rusting, but, strange to say, no ill effects were am rent, except to ono of the swinish epicures, who sutfer.d from an attack of painter's cholic, which • drastic drench, however, quickly removed.— Wilts and Gloucester ' shire Standard. lit I I Ni It 1 754 K 1 4 IS lei i iiiii 27 11 ez div
