LORD LONSDALI, on Thursday last, told the mem bers of the West Cumberland Agricultural Society, that "though the farmer formerly gained by his wheat trope, there is at present an appearance that he may attain the same advantage by another road." Here we have another Minister speakiog out. The farmers must no longer rely on their Tory friends, but on themselves. This is what Free-traders have long ago declared, and now we have Tory landlords and cabinet ministers singing the same song. But the Free-traders have always said something more— which is this—that the farmers must have fair play, and not be asked to pay landlords' rent and feed landlords' game. Whilst the workhouses are getting empty by the operation of Free-trade, the gaols are gradually getting their usual glut at this season through the evil working of the Game-laws. The farmers com plain of distress, and Mr. InsaAnt is expected to afford them some relief out of the pockets of other people. How much better would it be if that relief were legitimately and honestly given by a repeal of laws which fill the prisons, impoverish the farmer, and lower the moral tone of the rural population of the kingdom. Lord LoNsDALE should see to this— if he really wishes to be a " farmers' friend." Before the year 1832, no one in this country could all take, kill, or poseur game, unless possessed of a freehold estate of 10)01. a year, or had certain other qualifications which were deemed equivalent —one, for instance, was being Captain in the Militia! In that year an alteration was made, abo lishing the necessity of a property qualifica tion to kill game, and authorising its sae by licensed dealers, but in other respects the stria coney of the law remained unaltered. Birds sod beasts of game still matinee things sacred to flee landed ol4u-ehy . . and are protected by heavy Ines, lengthened imprisonments, cumulative penalties, and successive punishments. Let us give a few ems plea of the law which it is one of the special saimimm of the present DERUY-DIsRAELI Administration to uphold. Is it on this acoouut they ham hood Weer with the firmer/ ? Taking or killing game out of season, ems an a man's own land, subjects him to a penalty of 10e. for each game beast or bird, or even an egg, or to two months' imprisonment with hard labour, to be inflicted by that unammilate tribunal, two justices. Any . person taking or killing game without a gams certificate is liable to • penalty of SL, or three months at the treadmill, at the fiat of two worshipful gems preservers; and he is liable also to be made to tio p a y fora certificate 4L, and also to pay an addi penalty of 201. for sporting without • certifi cate. 'The two latter same are recoverable before two Conimiesiooms of AirosedTaxes, and in case of non-oraset, the a stireder " is impiigoned for six months beyond thejestiese then months' imprison ment. M e mid length= the list of these atroci ties, but is not the Oen me* manna ? And why are nth eppremin laws enacted ?

FRANCE. PARIS, Pawky livexiso. I am happy to find that the liberal party in Paris cherishes • confident hope that the result of the crisis in Belgium will not be, alter all, to throw that country bound band and foot into the hinds of the Jesuits and Bonapartiats. A serious attempt will be made to construct another liberal ministry that will persevere in the political system commenced in 1847. , It is certain that the church party in Brawls wee con siderably dieconcertedbythe prorogation of the Chem ben lill Oct. 26th, aflame this it is argued that M. Rogier has taken the best means to bring the liberals to • sense of the dangers which beet em if they allow themselves to split into sections. In the con test for the presidency of the Chamber the ultra montane faction did not venture to fight under their own flag. To ember's. the government they gave their 38 cc 40 votes to M. Delahaye, who was elected on the fleet ballot only by the aid of &on 14 to 16 votes at dissident liberals personally attached to him. Bat the retell of M. Delahaye to accept the Wee is a proof that the liberal ttemparti has no intention to units with the catholic in the formation of a cabi net, and the subsequent refried of M. Verhaegen is intended as a solemn declaration to the country that nothing but the hearty support of all shades of liberals can enable the king to _parses that patriotic course which the independence of the nation requires. During the ream, Si view will be strongly urged by the liberal prem. sed it is not impossible that a dissolution may be had re course to.

Sir Henry was invited to dinner, on Monday last, by M. de Rayneval, the French am bassador, to meet the other members of the corps diplonsatique now present in Rome, of whom M. Esterhasy, the Austrian minister, was the principal. None of the French generals were present. The diplomatic body hero is somewhat thin, on account of the dissensions between the Holy See and some of the European courts epee religious points. The Pied montane minister, the Marquis of Sambuy, returned to Turin some weeks ago, after a rather warm dis cussion with Cardinal Antonelli respecting the matri monial law and the circulars addressed to the clergy throughout the kingdom of Sardinia. The Belgian minister is absent also, having been unable to bring the education question to a satisfactory arrangement with the government of his Holineme It is inferred that these two recusant governments will henceforth be merely represented by chargls lajfaires. The shareholders of the Pia-latina Railway, un willing to abandon their undertaking, in spite of the determination of the government to afford them no assistance, and desirous that their materials should not be sold at an immense sacrifice, are now drawing up a memorial, which will be sent to the Pope, the cardinals, and ministers, setting forth the advantages to be derived from the speculation and making a last appeal to the consideration of the government. It is said that Tarlonia is now endea vouring to concoct a company at Paris. to undertake the construction of the whole line of Papal railways. It must first be established whether the Papal go vernment is sincerely disposed to favour any such plan—a proposition much doubted of by the Romans themselves. TWO SICILIES. NAPLES, Seri. 24. Yesterday the mud now sitting to try the accused for the revolt of May 15,1848, heard the demands of the crown lawyer. MM. Spaventro, Pica, Barbarise, and seven others are clasped as guilty of high trea son, and therefore "the law" asks death. Others of the accused come under the penalty of galleys for various period'', and a few of the remaining are 'favoured with "provisional liberty," which in Na plea means nothing at all, but imprisonment. It remains to be seen how far the ,judges will fall into the hints of government. The lawyers have yet to try their appeals to their humanity and legal con sciences.

CONTINUOUS DECREASE OF OUT-POOR I>t MAN ennernit.—A return made to the Manchester board of Waof relief granted to out-door poor daring the e is ar s frona March 29 to Sept. 27, as compared with the money so paid in the corresponding 26 weeks of last year, it meat remarkable for the uniform decrease which it exhi bin. The table gives in separate columns the payments to noel clan of out door poor, under the beads " settled," ss atm-settled," and " Irish ;" but what is singular La the retain is, not merely that the decrease is progres sive through each of the two half years, but that the decrease is shown under each head. Thus if we take the " settled " pose for the week ending April sth, 1851, which was 2401., and compare it with the payment to the same class in L. corresponding week of this year, we find a decrease to 2181., whilst the " non-settled " have gone down from 1041. to 951., and the " Irish" from 2261. to 2021. Going to the bottom of the columns we find September 27, 1851, the payments to these classes had decreased respectively to 219 L, 951., and 1645. ; and in the sane weeks this year to 1561., M., and 1641., and so steady has this decrease been that in no one week in the last half year have the payments for settled, unsettled, or Irish been equal I. the payments for the one week in those classes during the corresponding week et 1861. The totals stand thus :—Settled, 5,9381. in 1851, NM 4,7161. in 1862, or a decrease of 1,2201.; non-settled, %Pa in 1861, and 2,2241. in 1852, or a decrease of 4121.; Irish, 6,1981. in 1851. and 2.R121/ in 1552, or • il•oreue of 1,312/. The gross decrease in the half year es thus shown to be 2,9451 16e., or, in round numbers, about equal to six thousand pounds sterling per annum. COPMPO MINING COMPANY.—A general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at their offices, 2, New Broadineet ; Charles H. lOUis, Esq., in the chair. The report stated the prospects of the company, which had been interfered with first by the ravages of an epidemic among the miners, and secondly by the Chilian revolution, were now becoming brighter. The monthly produce of copper was on the increase, and was likely to continue so. The produce of silver, although not yet large, was improved. A wish was expressed at the last meeting that as the produce of silver ore appeared very uncertain, the working of the copper lodes should be chiefly attended to. In answer to that wish the local manager stated that there bad been greater receipts from the silver mines of Copiapo for the last seven years than from those of any other description, and that the riches of the Salvadora mine, a few fathoms distant from the company's operations at Al fin Ilellada, bad been ins. mean, and therefore he recommended the working of the silver lodes for another year. This advice the directors followed. The produce of the company's mines for the last year were—bar silver, 726 lbs. 2 os. 10d w ts., valued at 2,0461. Cs. 7d. ; silver ore, 10 ton 11 cwt., valued at 4841. 161. Id. ; silver leavings, 34 tons 4 cwt., valued at 4361. 12s. 4d. ; copper ore, 956 tons, valued at 12,10 W. Os. 10d.: total value of produce, 15,0761. 15e. 10d. The Buenos Ayrean was chartered to sail in August with a cargo likely to realise 10,000 L, consisting of 400 tons of copper, 15 tons of silver ore worth 1001. per ton and 35 tons of leavings. Another vessel will be chartered in December. The report was adopted, some other routine business transacted, and a vote of thanks given to the chairman. STILLING AND DUNFEIGILINI RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Edinburgh on Thursday; James Anstruther, Esq., chairman. The report by the directors, which stated that the last portion of the line, from Stirling to Alloa, had been completed and opened on the Ist July last, and that traffic between the two termini was rapidly increasing, was held as read. The chairman having taken a view of the affairs of the com pany, moved the adoption of the report, which having been seconded, was &greed to, and the meeting separated. EASTERN UNION RAILWAY. Yesterday two meetings of the preference sha re , holders of this company took place at Rad'ey's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriar?, one of the holders of the N o. shares, called by the directors " for the purpose o r mn. ousting to and approving of the said directors attaching t o the new shares created under the provisions of the said set or any pert or number thereof, such preferential interest or dividend (but not exceeding the rate of 4t. per center' per annum), as such directors may determine ;' and the other called by Messrs. Sturge and Scholey, on behalf of the committee of preference shareholders—of the holden or all classes of preference shares, " to concert mea.un sfw their own protection as against the proposal of the dint. tors:" -- the purpose of the second meeting being preliminary, ,j was held at 12 o'clock, the directors having advertised their meeting for two. Mr.J.R.Baostrawe,the chairman of the preference share. holders' committee, was voted to the chair, and Lsv eg , briefly opened the proceedings, called on Mr. Sreieou, who proceeded to explain that the perige e of the meeting which was to follow was nut, as was gen e . rally supposed, to obtain the consent of the s h are h o l ders to the tune of the remainder of the 250,0001. preference stock authorised by the act of last session to be raised fur payieg off the debts of the company, sod of which the origins! 'Lac. holders had refused to allow more than 50,0901. to issue, but to enable them to issue 77,800/. beyond that, under another provision of t h u same act, which allowed them, with the consent of four fifths of the No. 1 preferenc e holders, to issue new shares to the amount of the unbelted and extinguished stock under the previous sets, which new shares were to have a preference dividend over all other preference stock, their-50,0001. creditor.' stock. Ile me tended, in the first place, that such extra issue was ewe, emery to meet the debts unsecured at the time of pinui ; the act, the 250,0001. being 101310 12,0001. more than Mai, cnt for that purpose, and that it was roostunrea sonable and unjust for the original shareholders to expect those who had come forward to their relief and advanced their money upon the condition of a prefe rence dividend to give a new elates of holders a preference over them beyond those necessarily created for the liquida tion of the company's debts. it was quite e.ear that if these new shares were. Gi entitled to a preferecceclividend of 1 reent. the existing preference holders would be rth, r damaged to that extent. It was true the directors might Inoue these additional shares without calling the exi,tieg holders together, hut they could not attach a preferewe dividend to them without the consent of four-fifths of the No. 1 holders. Then, there was no security again‘t directors issuing these shares below par, so as to give them a higher dividend than 4 per cent. It was the duty of the directors, if money was required beyond the 240,01101., to forfeit all shires upon which the calls had not beta made, and to realise all the other mitts of the company, as the surplus !rod, the property at Ipswich, and the Stour Valley and the liarwich shares, which he was convinced would be more than suthei..nt to meet all their liabilities, beyond what were provided fur by the creditor,' stock. lie denied that the position of the original share holders was so hopeless as had Leen represented. The present fined charge of 75,0001. was now in course of reelec tion, by calling in bonds and renewing them at a lower rate of interest to 68,000/. ; most of the 6 per cent. and all the 10 per cent. preference stock was redeemable at par, which, supposing the estimate of traffic made by Mr. Wulf during the negotiations with the Eastern Counties Com pany was correct, six. that the line would produce a s e t 105,0001. (and he, Mr. Surge, from a careful examination was convinced it would produce at least 100,06 e." be done gradually, and the original holders, in a few year!, would come into dividend. A PROPRIETOR inquired whether the requirement of the Clauses Consolidation Act—that a detailed statement of the liabilities of the company should be given by the directors half•yearly—hsd been complied with. Mr. Srtuon said it bud not, but he had been supplied by the directors with sufficient information to enable him to say that the 250,0001., together with the assets which might be realised, would enable them to pay off their liabili ties. Mr. lki'LkultB reminded the meeting that the issuing of this 77,8001. together with the 240,000/. would take 15,000/. a-year away from that which otherwise might mine to the present preference holders nr dividend. At all events they ought not to sanction this additional issue WWI the oriamai shareholders had agreed to the WIMP of the whole of the creditors' stock. A Paoratirroa excalpated the directors from all blame in the matter. They had attempted to issue the 250,0001. but had been defeated by the proprietors, who had refused to sanction the issue of more than 50,0001. Another PROPRINTUR said that the reason why the common stockholders refused to issue the whole '250,000/. was because the preference hold( rs would not consent to any arrangement for reducing the rate of interest payable on their respective shares. Mr. Srunon urged that the common stockholders were not justified in repudiating the bargain they had made with the preference holders. If the case was a hopeless one (as he had once feared it was), he might be disposed to meet them in another spirit ; but they had the mean' of freeing the company from debt, of reducing their fixed charges, and of going to the Eastern Counties, and making such an arrangement with them as should secure them a return, er, if no satisfactory arrangement could be come to, of working the line by contract. He believed he was meets log the views of the majority of the preference holders, when he said they were determined to insist upon their rights, and would not submit to the attempts at repudia tion which a majority of the original holders were making. lie suggested that if the original holden would not Act justly, that the preference holders should subscribe to t fund for the purpose of holding meetings, sending round circulars to all the proprietors explaining the circumstances of the case, and bringing public opinion to bear on them by means of the press. To such a fund he was at once pre pared, if necessary, to put down his name for 130/. (Hear.) What be had now to propose to them was that at the meet ing to be held presently they should meet the resolution of the directors for attaching a preference interest to the pro posed new shares with a direct negative, at all events until the remaining 200,0001. of creditors stock should be issued, and that a committee should be appointed to watch over the interests of the preference holders, to negotiate with the directors, and take such steps as they might deem no ecassary. After some conversation resolutions embodying both pro positions and appointing Messrs. Bagshawe, Sturge, and Scholey, being the members of the previous preference shareholders' committee, together with Messrs. Baker and Ovendon, as the members of the new committee. It being now two o'clock the directors entered the room, and Mr. Cobbold, M.P., the chairman of the board having taken his seat as president, the business of the meeting summoned by the directors eocameneed. The advertisement having been read, Mr. Baker, Mr. Bturge, and other shareholders pro tested against the meeting as being illegal, it being ad mitted that a large proportion of the No. I preference holders were not registered. The CHAIRMAN explained that the registration bad been left open for the convenience of the shareholders themselves in order to facilitate the transfer, but every endeavour had been made to induce the holden to come in and register. He was advised that the holders of unregistered scrip could not vote ; but, if the meeting desired it, he was prepared to take such votes for as much as they might be worth. In reply to a question from Mr. Lechmere, The CHAIRMAN stated that the total amount of debts and claims of all kinds for which the company was liable was 414,0001., of which 32,0001. had been converted into creditors' preference stock. He then proceeded to complain that he had received no intimation of the private meeting of shareholders, or what their intentions were. His object, and that of his brother directors, was to deal fairly with all classes of proprietors, and he altogether denied that they desired to repudiate the claims of the preference holders; but they felt that unless the ordinary share holders and the preference holders would work together, and come to some understanding, it would be impossible to rescue the company from its difficulties. The directors gave no opinion adverse to the claims of tho preference holders, but it was for those holden themselves to convince the other proprietors of the injustice of which they com plained. The board itself was powerless, for whatever pro. pond they brought forward might be rejected by the vote of a minority of either class of sharehol ders. The resolu tion be had to submit was to the effect that the meeting consents and approves of the direeton of the company attaching to the new shares created under the act of 1832, or any part thereof not being issued under such interest or dividend, preferential or otherwise, not exceeding 4 per ct. per annum, as they may determine, provided the holders of the common stock shall previously consent to the conversion into creditor stock of the 200,0001. of debt due by the company, being the remainder of the 250,0001. authorised to be so converted by the same act, such creditor stock not to ho issued or taken up under pnr. Mr. Literimann, on the distinct understanding that the 77,8001., which the resolution proposed to issue at 4 per cent., was to follow and not precede any part of the 200,0001., would second the motion. Mr. OVIRDON moved an amendment, refusing the con sent of the meeting to the resolution, and repeated the complaints and statements made by Mr. Sturge in the pre vious meeting. Mr. STIIRON seconded the amendment. The propesed issue of stock was unnecessary. He was convinced that with 250,0001. creditor stock, and the available assets, he could get the company out of all its difficulties ; and then, at some future period, these 77,0001. odd of extinguished shares might be used with advantage, es a means of redeem ing_some of the fixed charges. The CHAIRMAN remarked, that if he had had the op portunity of hearing before the meeting, what he had heard since, it was probable the resolution might not have been proposed in the same terms. Ile doubted Mr. Sturge*s power to clear off all the difficulties of the company, by the means he bad suggested, without doing injustice to some parties, whose interests they were bound to protect. If the ordinary shareholders and the preference ehareholdert would agree, which after all they must due in the end, he thought it not too much to suppose that the latter would consent to allow their shares to be redeemed off at par, some arrangement being made for paying off the interest up to a given time. (Cries of " Hear, hear," from all 'idol It wee something of that kind that the directors thought of suggesting, if a committee of joint shareholders hail been agreed to.—(Near, hear.) Mr. STUSIOB here intimated that the preference holder. had just appointed a committee, for the purpose of emir: to some arrangement. The CHAIRMAN thought it would be batter if it had h 'en done publicly at a public meetiug. It was not, however too late to atlioint it publicly wAr—(cheer)—and no doubt if it were armed with sufficient powers, and. was animated with a spirit of concession and fairness, a satisfactory rangement would result. . • • 1 1 J 3 4 1 3 1 1 5 1 1 1 1
