No. 41= THE HIGH 811EZIFT OP NOWITILTILDERLAND AND Min !Linos PLarr.—Su Horses St. Paul, Bart., high sheriff of Northumberland, has offered by public advertises ant, three prises, of 100 guineas each, for Essays on Tem- W. It will be recollected that at the last assizes for e iP otnty, the hon. baronet had some odium cast upon him fir having set aside that state and gorgeousness of equipage with which the judges bad been accustomed to be leceived on their appearance on circuit to execute her Illajcety*s commission, and that Mr. Baron Platt laid the matter so much at heart, that in his address to the grand jury the subject was mentioned in terms which seemed to convey an imputation on the high sheriff as wanting in loyalty to the sovereign—inasmuch u the representatives of her Majesty not hating In en treated with due respect IMO a sort of affront put upon the Queen herself. Sir Horace denied the justice of his conduct being so con strued, and protested before the court that her Majesty had sot a more loyal subject in her dominions than himself. Here the affair terminated at the time. The motive of the bon. baronet in having limited himself to so plain an equipage for the judges' accommodation was generally sup tscl to be to save expense. The high sheriff now appears !layover in a different light, and the offer of the prizes shows that Sir Horace is both determined to economise and willing to spend ; reserving to himself the right of the selec tion of the objects of his munificence, and acting on his own judgment as to the best way of promoting the interests of the public. It may just be remarked, in conclusion, that a fashion seems to have recently sprung up in Northumber land for the high sheriffs to claim boldly the right of " doing what they will with their own '• money ; for Sir Horace's immediate predecessor in office. Sir Walter Trevelyan, Bart., last year, on being applied to for a subscription of lid. in aid of the race funds, a sum which pres ions high Uteri& had been accustomed to give, pointedly refused, giving as his reason fur so doing that the circumstances which rendered races eapedicnt in times past had ceased to exist : but. by way of proving that it was not the 5/. that he wished to save, the hon. baronet remitted 10/. to he dividiel amongst certain charities in the town.—Nesecoatle Cohnutt.

The agitation against the repayment of advances still continues to afford almost the only item of news from Ireland. Lord Lucan a plan of insisting upon a bill of parti culars has been taken up as a regular god-send by most of the western boards of guardians. The guardians of the Gort union cling to it with a despe rate perseverance, and have resolved not to levy any additional rate for the payment of the annuities until the demand shall have been complied with. " If," say they, "we were to pay any of our contractors a large sum of money without the finance com mittee having first examined each item and each voucher, we would justly expose ourselves to the censure of the ratepayers, the public, and the com missioners. On the same principle wo now decline to pay the government annuities. At the same time we have no hesitation in saying that, when we are furnished with a proper business-like bill of particu lars, we will use every exertion in our power to dis charge our liabilities to the last shilling." The guardians of the Kilrush union are to have a special meeting to-day, to take into consideration the necessity of adopting the previous scale of rates, whisk else sot ~ 1e& the sensitise, and it is in tended that the rate-books shall be filled up accord ingly, leaving it to the discretion of the treasury to impound a portion of the rates to meet the treasury demand, should they think it right to do so in the present circumstances of the union. The American ship, James Wright, with 400 emi grants on board, bound from Liverpool to New York, ran aground on the Kish Bank, at the mouth of Dublin Bay, yesterday morning. She was, however, got off without any material damage, and proceeded on her voyage. No reason has been assigned for her getting so far out of her course.' A lecture on the new style of ladies' costume, was delivered iu the Round Room of the Rotundo, last evening, by Mrs. Wilson and Miss Fleming. This has been the first attempt to introduce the startling innovation here. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Bums lb. COMMISSION/12 UCILROTD. Is nE WILLIaxs. This was the certificate meeting in the case of William Williams, contractor, of Ashford. His balance-sheet, extending over 41 years prior to July last, contained the following items creditors unsecured, 3,4861.; mort- i interest, and ground-rent, 3,4551.; surplus at the commencement of the account, 6,5801.; profits, 1,6851.

Mr. Lawrence, for the assignees, offered no opposition. He observed that the bankrupt's explanation of his failure was borne out by the balance-sheet. He had been in part nership with a Mr. Betts, whose father was the longest creditor, and made no complaint. They had sustained • heavy loss on a contract with the government for some works at the harbour at Harwich, which had been aban doned :at the instance of Mr. Bette, sen., who foresaw a greater lots from their continuance. The result was, the bankrupt lost all his capital, which a few years before was equal to 6,580/., consisting of plant, lie The books had been fairly kept. His Honour granted • second-class certificate. SURREY. S'ESSIONS.-THIS DAY. (811011 UMW Pocus, Zig, AIM a Biwa o► MAONTAATZS.) ATTEMPTING TO DIPHAUD THE SOUTH WESTERN RAIL- WAY COMPANY. IV. Wantell, 36, was indicted for having attempted to defraud the South Western Company of the sum of 201., under false pretences. Ile was also indicted for stealing several articles silver plate, the property of Joseph Hayden, banker, at Onildford. From the evidencri it appeared that the prisoner entered the service of Mr. Ilaydon about a month ago. After two or three days remaining at Guildford, he was sent to Lon don to transact some business, and on his return to the railway station he went to the secretary's o ffi ce, and said that he had lost his carpet bag, containing property worth 207. Inquiries were instantly instituted, and it being ascertained that the prisoner's story was doubtful, a police-constable was called in, and he was given into custody. Mr. Hayden was ma de acquainted with the facts, when he examined the plate, and missed two dessert foriss and other articles, some of which were found in the prisoner's possession. It was also ascertained that ho ob tained the situation by means of a false character. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, and threw. himself on the mercy of the court, was sentenced to be transported for 15 years. A Dar.orn. CASE OF CHILD MURDER wits dis covered in Wakefield on Monday. Shortly after 5 o'clock on the morning of that day one of the porters, named Jack son, employed at the railway-station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, went to his work as usual, for the purpose of seeing the government train despatched to Manchester, which leaves the Wakefield station at half-past five. A young man named Park, employed as a clerk in the telegraph office, wits also in attendance, and booked four persons to go by :the train, namely , men and two females. On the departure of the train, Jackson, as was his usual custom, went into the passage ° leading from the railway yard and to the platform, where passengers were passengers were booked to go by the trains, and took away a ladder, and proceeded to extinguish all the gaslights. The passage at this time was perfectly clear ; but after an absence of tire or ten minutes he returned to deposit his ladder in its proper place, when he found a common blue band-box rather clumsily tied with cord, lying in the passage. He took up the box and carried it into the booking-office to show it to the other clerk, and their curiosity or suspicion being aroused by the weight and appearance of the band-hoz, they opened it, when they found it contained a child, wrapped up in a white cloth, with its throat cut from ear to ear, the head being almost severed from the body. The booking clerk states that about ten minutes after the depar ture of the half-past five o'clock train • man and woman came to the booking-office window, and requested to know if the train had gone to Thornhill. On learning that it had, and that there was nu other train until half-past eleven, they went away, and he saw nothing more of them until th, y were afterwards taken into custody, when he positively identified the woman as the person who made inquiries res pecting the trains at the booking-office window. The man and woman are also identified by • porter, named Thomas Smith, who met them in the railway yard, on their way from the sta tion, as be was going on duty, about twenty minutes before six o'clock. The porter, Jackson, swears that the box must have been placed in the passage while he was extinguishing the gas-lights, and if so, and the fact of the man and woman being at the station at the time fixes suspicion on them as being implicated in the diabolical transaction. The man and woman, whose names are James Doyle and Ann Smith, were taken into custody about seven o'clock the same morn ing. They were brought before the magistrates on Monday, at the Court-house, and remanded for a week, to give the polico an opportunity of obtaining further evidence respect ing this mysterious transaction. The coroner's jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." " PASSING IN NAVIGATION" AT PORTSMOUTH.— Yesterday (Tuesday) Mr. James Blair Greve, mate in the Royal Navy, who was repor ted in the Eapres of the 13th inst. as having " paned in navigation" at the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth, was brought before the Ports mouth borough magistrates on the serious charge of felony.

RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o•CLocz. Business in the share market to-day is extremely quiet, and the alteration in prices is by no means general, yesterday's prices ruling for most descrip tions. Great Westerns, London and North-Westerns, and Midlands, however, are marked rather lower, whilst Caledonians and York and North Midlands are better. =ARES AND STOCIUI lINGIJARANITED. Calm prices Yesterday. co to-day up to 1 pm. W 8j MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocs. The operations in the English stock market to-day have been scarcely so considerable as of late, but still, combined with the government purchases, they have been sufficient to maintain the market at the full ad vance recently established, with the exception of a temporary depression in Consols, from which prices speedily recovered. Some discussion has taken place within the last few days relative to the question of a reduction in the Bank of England rate of discount. Whilst such a step is regarded as by no means im possible, seeing that business is done in the diseount market at one-half per cent. below the minimum rate of the establishment, it is still not considered as at all likely that a wish to in crease their business, and consequent profits, will lead the directors to overlook other considerations just at present in operation. which would render the measure in the opinion of most persons unadvisable. The result of the weekly meeting of the Bank board to-morrow, however, will be looked to with some little interest. Except for a moment, when a few cash sales car ried the price down to 971, Consols have been steady all morning, at the final ituotatlon of yesterday's mar ket, viz., 97; to both for money and the 12th Nov. The official list of to-day's business is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, 971., ; ditto for Account, 97!, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 961, New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971, 981, 971. Long Annuities, 1660, 6 13.16, 7 ; South Sea Old Annui ties, 951. There is a little movement springing up in Bank Stock, which is very firmly held, and purchases have been effected to-day at 2131 and 214, being a rise of U. on the figure last noted. The Exchequer Bill market is well supported, with the quotation ruling at 61s. to 513. prem., but India Bonds are rather more offered. Business has been concluded in the 1,0001. Bonds at (,9s. and Gls. prem., and in the smaller sizes at 58s. and 61s. Speculation is completely at a stand-still in the foreign bond market, and business altogether is on the most limited scale. The subjoined figures, which represent the entire transactions of the morning, exhibit scarcely the least change—viz., Belgian Four and-a-half per Cents., 921. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cent., 584 • ditto Fur per Cent. Certificates, 89?,. French : Mice per Cent, Itentes, .50fr. ; ex change, 2.3 fr. 20e. Peruvian Five per Cents., 1849, 881. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 201 ; ditto Three per Cents., 38, 1. We arc glad to learn that the Banking Institute has made such progress among parties interested that the meeting for its definitive constitution will be held at the London Tavern this evening, W. G. l'res cott, Esq., in the chair. The Institute is likely to do the more good by promoting the scientific study of banking principles, and thereby giving higher views to the younger professional members. In the market for foreign exchange yesterday bills were rather plentiful, with the exception of Holland, which was in great demand, with a limited supply. I'aris maintained the previous quotations of 25.2:i to 271 for short, and 2.5.43 to 47 1 tar 3 mos. Numerous buyers came forward for drafts on Amsterdam, which was negotiated at 11.191 to 1; Itotterdum being done at 11.191 to 12, and short at 11.18 to 12. The exchange on Hamburg fluctuated in some de gree, money being offered at 13.10 at the beginning of 'Change, but sellers offering more freely to draw it closed at 13.101 to f. Frankfort was also done higher, being 1201 to 1, the exchange on London coming higher from the other side. hills on Italy experienecsl no alteration, but Sicily was a little in favour of sellers. The contrary . is to be remarked with regard to bills on Spain and Por tugal, both being extremely dull and very difficult of sale. Negotiations were effected considerably in favour of buyers, Madrid being as low as 49 . 4, and Portugal 321. St Petersburg was in demand, at 301 to but very little paper could be found. Several drafts on Berlin were offered at rates at which no business could be done. It Is remarkable that on so important a place as the capital of Prussia no regular quotation should exist, in consequence of which drafts on that place can only be negotiated at rather unfavourable rates. With respect to Aus tria, a perfect panic appeared to prevail, several merchants being anxious to get rid of their bills at any price; the natural consequence was that buyers were less eager to purchase, unless at very bad terms, which they readily obtained. Vienna was done at 12.32 to 36, and Trieste at 12.35 to 40. The quotation from Vienna being 12.14, a larger margin is given than has been awarded for some time. With the departure of the Alexandria steamer there is very little doing in the bullion market, and the prices of all articles remain as last reported. A return which was published at the cud of last session gives some particulars of considerable interest on a subject rather neglected by the public, and that is railway debentures. The aggregate amount of debenture debt is nearly sixty millions, being re turned at .7:.),507,064., but no transactions take place in the market in railway debentures, which, wo believe, is more the fault of the com panies than of other parties. They are first rate securities, few of which arc under 4 per cent., which are to a certain extent unmarket able, and at any rate are never quoted. The great difficulty which prevents small capitalists from in vesting in these securities is that they are unmar ketable, and a man is afraid that though he can put his money in, he cannot get it out on an emergency, but must wait until the period of expiration of the debentures. Formerly there was an obstacle to the circulation of debentures on account of the high rate of stamp duty, but since the equalisation of the stamp duties, the charge for transfer is not so heavy, and therefore if the companies afforded facilities by the issue of small debentures, the public would be willing to operate. Some of the companies have taken the first step by issuing debentures for small sums, but unless they take measures for getting them negotiated, only half the object will be obtained. The scope is sufficient, and we are sure it would an swer the purpose of members of the Stock Exchange to invest a capital in particular debentures, and become jobbers. If Exchequer Bills bearing 21 per cent. in terest can command a premium of 2/. 145., it is possible to negotiate railway debentures with a stamp duty. One advantage possessed by railway deben tures is that there are enough of them in their seve ral classes to afford dealings for a market, and to give a fair field for the operations of the jobber or middle man, but it is essential the prices should be quoted. The debentures of the London and North \Western are as follows, and although largely held by assur ance companies, many of them would be brought forward for dealing: Five per Cent. Bonds £4,356,596 Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds 310,900 Four per Cent. Bonds 3,463,110 Three-and-Three-Quarter per Cent Bonds 2,000 Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds Three per Cent.

DEFOE'S DOUSE, AT STOKE NEWISCTON.—This house is the one which wee occupied by the late William Freud, M.A., of the Rock Life-office, and which now be longs to his widow. It is on the south side of Church street, a little to the cast of Lordship-lane, or road, and has about four acres of ground attached, bounded on the west by a narrow footway, once (if not still) called Cutthroat land. Or it may be identified thus: take the map of Stoke Newington in Robinson's history of that place, London, 1820, See, and look directly below the first " c " in " Church-street." Among the papers by which the house is held is the copy of the enrolment of a surrender to the lord of the manor, dated February, 26, 1740, in which the house is described as "heretofore in the tenure or occupation of Daniel Defoe." The history just men tioned states that he was living at Newington in 1709. There appears no reason to suppose that he built the house. Dr. Price lived for some years in it, as the domestic chap ' lain of a subsequent owner.—Notes and Queries. TIM CLEVELAND IRON DISTRICT.—The iron dis trict covers an area of several thousand acres, lying between Ouiabro and Stokesley, in the county of York, and the stone contains from 30 to 40 per cent. of iron, and the seam, from 12 to 20 feet thick, lying from 1 to 20 feet below the sur face, is estimated to produce 40,000 tons per acre. The supply will therefore be unlimited, and can be raised for a considerable time at not exceeding 6d. per ton. This extraordinary iron bed, which has been traced and tested for fifteen miles, is full of c ilcareous matter, and proba bly a sea-shore in the antediluvian world, and is com posed of ground shells and mud, and filled with iron by per colation of water, taking up iron in solution, which it leaves behind, and in ages becomes a concrete miss, and in the ore, when examined through a magnifying glass, particles of shells are very visible. 50,000 tons have been already smelted in Northumberland, producing 33 per cent., and a coatract recently made by the two proprietors to supply an iron work with 200,000 tons per annum for seven years at 81. 3d. per ton, delivered at filiddlesbro, which on a low estimate will yield a profit of 200,0001.,and it is thoroughly understood that it works remarkably well, being very mild, and waking ca pital iron. It is intended to trace the geological course lathe coal veins in the district, which is expected to be found in quantity at some depth below the iron, as in other quar ters. Way leave is likely to be obtained to construct a railway from the centre of the ore, at a cost of about 2,5001. per mile, to join the Stockton and ltedcar Railway, and it is fairly presumed the landed proprietors will wil lingly agree to a beneficial arrangement, many having en gaged to do so ; but should any difficulty unexpectedly arise, an act will be applied for, the necessary survey made, and plans and sections deposited. It is also contemplated to erect ironworks on the property already secured in connec tion with the rail and concentrate the latest improvements, and thus be enabled to produce iron in quantity at the lowest possible cost, about Bs. per ton below present rate. Three furnaces will cost about 3,0001., blast engines about bo . t . 2,0001. ; t ik o c ns" of pi g . iron per weecold and by calng the 4,00 and ore on the spot fully 25 per cant. will be saved on its car O i i i. . l, , yh an hfau d rab lt az eating t will , or risge, and about two tons produce one ton of pig iron.— Herapoth.

The reply was characteristic and i nstructive—" I can buy the whole at 20s. an acre, or for 250,0001. ; but who will guarantee me a maximum poor rate, or ionise against the whole being swallowed up la feeding sturdy beggars ?"

THE CRY OFiTHE TO TUE ZDITOB, OP THE ZIP2IIIB. Sta,—Mr. Disraeli, who represents the g lauded proprietors, the lords of manor s , an d owners of g lare reat estates, says" the land is a bad tax, for it is a tax on the raw material of agriculture." I suffer too much from another tax on the raw material, and upon the capital and labour expended thereon, to dispute his assertion—but that is a tax whirls presses--outrageously presses —on the smaller landowner, and being for the benefit of the larger landowner, is deemed unworthy of notice ; I mean the tux upon land, capital, and labour exacted from the copyholder, in the shape of fines and fees on mere license% to lease, or of two years' improved value on sale or descent, and accompanied with heriots and other odious customs denounced by the present Lord Chief Jus tice in echo to Sir Robert Peel as " the barbarous remnant of a barbarous age." The girds themselves up to the period of the commonwealth, us tenants iu copier, were subject to corresponding tines and burthens to the crown. King James I. had proposed a land tax as a substitute for the revenue the crown had derived therefrom, but in vain. At the restoration, ere the King was warns on his scat, and taking advantage of the troubles of the state, the great landowners, on the ground that such Mira were more grievous, burdensome, and prejudicial to th e ki ng d om t h an beneficial to the King (the rental of 12 Car. 11., c. 21), had them entirely abolished—yes, fully, clearly, and absolutely abolished; of course not withuat compensation to the crown, nor without due consideration to the corresponding burthens and fines of the copyholders--the fines payable by the copyholder to the lord being, in fact, the provision for the fines from the lords to the King. Yes, nothing passed unheeded ; compensation was granted lotto:crown by a tax upon beer and other liquors brewed for sale. The first of the present excise laws and the tines from the cupyliolders to the lords were by the 6th section expressly reserved and continued to the lords. Some members M the Lower Rouse inveighed in strong terms upon what they considered the gross injustice of tho act, but a majority of two in the Commons carried it up to the Lords, where it passed through all the stages of an act of parliament on one and the same day. This we poor copyl 'elders think was somewhat unequal. Blackstone, the advocate of the Lords, who wrete so feelingly of the pressure on the great landowners, the tenants in rapite, but who never felt the least sympathy fur us smaller fry, eulogises the act ; but what, says Roger North, was the opinion of Lord Keeper Guildford : " Ile bath said that the greatest trouble he had in those affairs (meaning the stewardship of manors) was to satisfy some greedy lords, or rather ladies of manors in setting the tines, and in being iu some measure an execu tioner of their cruelty upon poor men. And in very good earnest, it is a miserable thing to observe how sharpers that now are commonly court-keepers pinch the poor copy holders in their fees. Small tenements and pieces of laud that have been men's inheritances for divers generations, to say nothing of the fines, are devoured by fees ; so that if it were only to relieve the poorest of the landowners of the nation from such extortions and oppression without more there is reason enough to abolish the tenure. It was some what unequal when the parliament took away the royal tenures can capita that the lesser tenures of the gentry were left exposed to us grievous abuses as the former." Rights of commons were deemed an interference with the improvable capabilities of the Land : they may be abo lished, but although the interest of the great man, the lord of the manor, is nominal, only with his consent : tithes increasing in proportion to the outlay and improvements were deemed by the great landowners a tax upon labour and capital, and the lands have been enfranchised there from on fair compensation. Why have the repeated at tempts of us poorer nice, why have the claims of the com munity to have the power of applying capital and labour, in agriculture, or in houses without an increase of fines and fees to the lord of the manor and his myrmidon the steward been totally disregarded, and that I for ten years after a resolution that such rights ought to be abolished on terms of compensation, was moved by the lute Sir Robert Peel, and adopted by parliament, but through the influence of the great landowners mutilated, with pro visions that enfranchesement shall only be at the wi lof the lord. Mr. Disraeli and his friends never trouble us with allu sions to the three great boons of enfranchisement of lands from tithes, incloeure of commons, and a eopyhold commis sion paid by the public to effect enfranchisement in eases only in which the lord consents, and according to the evi dence of Mr. White, solicitor to the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners, " manors are now much more valuable than they used to be." On these points the great landowners follow the advice of Sir James Graham, " to eat their pudding, and hold their tongues." AN OPPRESSED COPYHOLDER. EMIGRATION FROM CALIFORNIA TO AUSTRALIA.— Within a few weeks many ship-loads of passengers have been despatched for the sunny South Pacific, where El Dorado seems breaking out " afresh. Several vessels have left this port, and a number are advertised bound for the colonies and the rich gold diggings of South Australia. A vessel containing some 60 males and a number of females will leave this day for Sydney. This class of " departures" front our shores will not leave a void to be seriously felt, nor detract, as a species of depopulation, from the great in terests of Californian society.—Alta Calsfornia, Aug. 29. RAPID I'ASSAGE.—The clipper ship Flying Cloud, commanded by Captain Cressey, made a most astonishing trip to San Francisco. She left New York on the 2nd of June, at 6, p.m., and arrived at San Francisco on the 20th of August, thus making the passage in the unprecedented short space of 90 days--the shortest by six days ever mado by a sailing vessel. She made Cape Horn in 59 days, and the line Specific side) in 71 days. Her run from Cape Horn to Ban Francisco was made in 39 days. Her best run in 24 beam tees 374 miles—the greatest run ever made by a sea ring visual, averaging 16, miles per hoar. While making tiis ran she was carrying top-gallant sails, with the wind cm point forward of the beam. She ran in three days 992 miles. On one occasion, during a squall, 17 knots of line were found insufficient to measure her speed. Forty miles were her shortest run in 21 hours.
