His Majesty's ministry will submit to the Diet everything that remains to be done in regard to the details of the slready effscted amalgametion of the administrative body. With regard to foreign relations in the Lombardo. VeLetian kingdom, where the hostile troops of the King of Sardinia and some Italian powers have attacked the army of his Majesty, the war is rot yet terminated. With regard to other foreign powers our friendly relat'ons remain inviolate; and his Majesty less questions the continuance of this, since it his ever been the chief csre of his government not to ne glect aoyth‘ng which, without infringing upon the dignity of the rood throne, the security of his people, and their legiti mate interest., might consolidate this amicable understand ing. His Majesty entertains no doubt that the national diet, on the indissolubly corn' ined interests of the royal throne and constitutional liberty, will, without delay, regulate everything which is requisite for the welfare of ti e country. In conclusion I must now fulfil the injunction of his Majesty, by assuring the I)iet, and the whole of his liiithtul subject+, of the royal favour and affectionate sentiments of our illus trious lord and Meg. I'RUSSIA.—From Berlin we have the papers of the 12th, and we have received the following letter from our correspondent at Colog COne LOGNE, July 13. According to the Neut Itheinitche Zeitung (Cologne) of this duy the new Vicar of Germany, the Archduke ,John, arrived on the 10th in Potsdam, where he had an interview with the King aed royal family. A motion which will decide the fate of the Prussian ministry was brought forward on the Ilth instant, in the Berlin assembly. The real tendency of it is to place that body and Prussia with it is comple's subjection to the deci sions of the Frankfort constituent assembly—a principle to which the Prussian government is opposed. Up to post hour the result of the debate had not transpired here. The Spener Gazette states,that at the court dinner gives in Beilia on the 7th instant, in honour of the birthday of the Emperor of ltussia, the King and all the royal princes wore Russian uniform. Tho central section of the Berlin con stituent assembly has declared, by a majority of 6 to 2, in favour of the immediate admissim of Herr Valienaire, the member for Tema, who is still imprisoned on the chary of having taken an active part in the late insurrection in that city. It is p robable that this decision will be confirmed by the rysembly in pleno. The French minis.er has left the Prus.iao capital, but the secretaries and ortadns remain. Mere than twenty persons have been arrested in Berlin on the charge of rioting during the late march at fresh troops into that tpPal. Some of the former were armed, and amongst them were two who were exciting the people to dis turbance. From all amounts it appears that the forthcoming harvest in numerous parts of Germany will be a very plentiful one. The progresa of cholera in St. Petersburg and other parts of Russia has induced the Prussian government to send circulars to several provincial authorities, containing instructiima fee their guidance in case the epidemy should reach Prussia. It is fearfully raging in Russia. The Frankfur er Journal confirms the intelligence given in several journals to the effect that the republican party is actively engaged in Baden in furthe rin g their caws. The Swabian Mercury states in a letter from Coire (Switzerland) that the two republican leaders, Struve and Weieshaar, lately paid a visit to that town , and it adds that the so-called Germs* legion is in course of active formatioe, in order to make another coup de main in Germany. The Deutsche Zeituny (Heidelberg) goes so fur as to assert that the Ger man republicans in Switzerland are assisted and encouraged by natives of various cantons, and complai ns that the Hel vetic confederation suffers the former to continue unmo lested their preparations against Germany. It adds that the German republicans who fled to Switzerland are display ing rene wed activity oflate. The last-quoted journal threatens Switzerland with the vengeance of Germany, if it does not put a stop to the machinations of the German refugee!. A democratic (republican') meeting is announced for Sunday next at Ettlingen (Wirtemberg). The Frankfurter Journal asserts that the object of the meeting is to make arrange ments for an invasion of Carleruhe and for the proclamation of a South German republic. On the other hand, the Mann heimer Abend:eating, of the 11th (the latter is a republican journal), declares that the contemplated meeting will be simply a congress of deputies from the democratical unions of the district. Be that ao it may, orders have been given for the forwarding of a strong military force to the town in question. It appears! by the Weinberger Volt:3sloi that in the Odenwald the republican party is very numerous; and it adds that the troaps quartered in various parts of the Duchy of Baden display strong republican tend, ncirs. Front all these accounts (taken, as you will perceive, from journals of various and ever contrary politic.tl opinion) it may be gathered that another republican " move" may be shortly looked for in Germany. FRANCE.—THE FRENCH ACADEMY.—Among the candidates for the seat occupied by M. de Chateaubriand in the French Academy, mention is made of M. Armand Marrast. Many of the academicians, however, desire that the poet Biranger should be at once admitted to the vacancy, without going through the usual preliminary forms of at- tendance - . - DISARMAMENT OF PARIS.—A meeting of the Mayon of the arrondissements was held on Saturday, under the presidency of the mayor of Paris. At this meeting reports were received of the results of the general or partial disarmarnents in the different legions. The following account is given of them, and of other subjects of discussion. The dis armament was greatly advanced in the Bth legion, and was going on without sty difficulty ; but in some quarters it was nut complete. To t ffect this it was necessary to make for they searches with the concurrence of the gardiens de Paris. The Boulevard Beautrarchais remains still to be inspected. In several places considerable quantities of arms have been discovered; particularly on the Quai Valrey, where 200 muskets were found in one depot. In the 9th legion, the disarmament is completed. The magistrates have obtained 7,500 muskets, without reckoning those which after the fight were found in the houses which were occupi. d by the insurgents. And yet only 7,086 muskets bad been delivered out by the authorities. In the 12th legion the operation is terminated, and a great many more arms have been recovered than had been regularly given out. In the other arrondis• semeats, the disarmament& have been only partial. In the Ist legion, eleven companies have been disarmed, and 1,500 muskets brought in. In the 2nd legion only twe companies have been disarmed completely, but there were to be also some partial disarmament' ; but the operation was not finished on Thursday. In the 3rd legion there were to be only some partial disarmaments; but some of these remained to be done, particularly in the streets near the Clos St. La sore. In the 4th legion the operation was not finished. One company had been completely disarmed. In the sth legion the disarammenta were to be partial, but in this seven or eight companies are of necessity to be disbanded. In the 6th legion a complete disarmament of six companies is to be effected. In the 7th legion the operation is to be only par tial. A great number of arms have been found in wells and on roofs of houses ; and it is expected that a much larger quantity will be discovered. In the 10th legion the dis armament is partial only, and has been made without eny difficulty. In the 11th legion the operation is not finished. Four companies were disarmed completely, but the arms have been partially returned.—in general the disarmament has not met with any resistance, and has been done with the greatest facility. We are assured that the meeting recognised the necessity of a new law for meeting the 'silicas objections that presented themselves. TIIE GENERAL OFFICERS WHO FELL.

The ministry pro fessed the latter opinion. Gioja and 'fulfill are spoken of as forming part of the new ministry. FRENCH GUIANA.—News from Cayenne to the 25th May speaks of the discovery of a plot which bad for its object the " transportation " of the governor and the other authorities to France, and the seizure of the government treasure. The chiefs were men of no standing . or iolluence, and, moreover, evinced so little prudence in their plans, that the authorities got scent of the plot, and prevented its com ing to& head. TilE MAIL.

JAMES'S PALACE, JULY 11.—The Queen has ti , cn pleased to appoint Captain the Honourable Joseph Denman, of the Royal Navy, to be one of the Grooms in Waiting in Ordinary to her Majesty, in the room of Admiral Sir Edward Codring'on, 0.C.8 and G.C.M.G., resigned. OFFICE. OF ORDNANCE, . 1, LT 13 . 061•NANt E MUM, I. Di PAR rm lthys, gent., to be Assistant Surgeon, vice Staunton, deceased. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1848. the force of what he was about to say, namely, that it was incumbent upon all who wished to profit by the successful pursuit of industry, to consult the inter, at of them by whom it was to be canted out. Upon an occasion like the presentehe term " labouring clamed " must be taken to mean the agri cultural labourers; but, as had already been stated, they were resident in a county which included in its popu lation a large number of labourers who were not connected directly with agriculture. His owe lot bad been cast amongst those who were connected with manufactures rather than with agriculture; and therefore they must not blame him if for a moment his attention was directed to that class of the labouring population. The manufacturing labourers were not placed in the open and beautiful country, following invigorating employments, and breathing a pure atmosphere, but they were confined, it was very well known by many persons, within narrow wells while employed, and resided in the dark and murky lanes of densely-populated towns. All must feel how bard their lot must be ; and he could not forbear on that occasion expensing his admiration of the conduct of the labouring classes of these districts, especially within a recent period. When they looked at the aspect of the world at that moment—at the immense confusion ex• istirm in all quarters—at the doctrines which had been preached, that the working classes bad only to upset the existing system in order to Soave positive influence and command over all governments—and when they knew also that there lay upon that class the pressure of severe distress calculated, above all things, to induce them to give ear to the nonsense which had been preached to them —it was matter of admiration in all other clams to see the steady loyalty, the good faith, and the good sense with which the working classes bad acted. That result might be ascribed by come persons to one cause, and by others attributed to another ; but he believed that much was to he ascribed to the sen-ible, calm, reflective character and good sense instilled by the institutions amongst which they lived, existing amongst and characterising the British la bourer, and which made him, in spite of high wages, the chea,itst labourer in the world. They would recollect that, alth' ugh that society was established for the promotion of agriculture, yet its objects were not limited to the mere im plication of science to the culture of the fields ; but it was cesential to the prosperity of avriculture that the welfare of the labouring classes should be maintained. And be trusted that this society, and such of its members as were present, would never cease to recollect that it was one of the first duties, as it was the highest interest, of every man connected , with agriculture, or connected with the land if this country, , to advance the moral, social, and intellectual position of the labouring clas , es. He therefore proposed "The labouring classes of this country." The PUTHIVENT said he had to ask them to drink to the success of two other important agricultural societies, one a very old one, having been established between sixty and seventy years, and numbering between 6,000 and 7,000 mein hers, a number equal to that society. (Cneen.) He gave " The Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland; and the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Ireland." (Cheers ) The Marquis of AHEM:OIIN, on behalf of the Royal High land S piety, begged to offer their acknowledgments for the honour they had done them. The CliAlltMAN next called upon the American Minister for a toast. Mr. BANCROFT said the invitation of your president brought me on a pilgrimage to this far famed and world renowned valley of Mowbray, to this land of abbeys ; and 1, ; inoomnion with others, can testify that if the old monasteries are crumbled to the dust, the spirit of hospitality still sur vine and has lost nothing of its strength. You, coming together from all parts of England to witness the exhibition here mode—you yourselves, farmers of the country, are • astonished as you contemplate the stock that is exhibited, sod in seeing what can be produced by the skill, the emula tion, and the perseverance of the British farmer. Nor may I omit to add my mite of admiration of the wonderful results of ingenuity in the yard where the implements have been shown, and which have been accomplished by the work men of this ingenious nation, enjoying the blessings of liberty without restraint, and living in a climate which, fur all you may say of it, is one of the very best in the world. It is sur passed by no climate, it is averting the excesses of heat and cold, and being on that account above all things friendly to industry. And I, too, must add my sentiment of joy in my presence here, as bringing with it a re miniscence of home, for on the other side of the Atlantic we love the cities we establish and the towns we plant—we love to give to our villages that mark the line in which the Eng lish language proceeds towards the Pacific names that re mind us of our ancient home. A beautiful emporium of American commerce, the city that boasts more than any other in prosperity, that gems the ocean side—that hinds together the two hemispheres, takes for its name that of this city ; but it is a two York, where people are not likely to forget the ties of consanguinity. And thus I am led by the manner in which you assent to these sentiments of friendship to congratolate myself and to congratulate you that we live in an age when nations exult in the prosperity of one another. I rejoice that we live in an age when of all the trees that are p lanted in the ground, the husbandman of all lands invokes the choicest blessing of Providence on the tree of peace—praying that ins root may strike to the very centre of the earth, and that it may be firmly rooted that its boughs may but rustle in the breezes of the stormiest revolutions. (Loud and reiterated cheers.) Speaking as the representative of my country I tell you that Americans rejoice in your prosperity. I should be denounced by my country if I did not utter that sentiment. And now, gentlemen, that I have shown to you my sympa thy in your occupations and pursuits, you will allow that the president has not done wrong in giving me the distinguished honour of proposing the health of your president elect. I shall not attempt to pronounce his eulogy, for there are cases where to speak the praises of another might In deemed an arrogant presumption. In his presence the voice of truth might too likely be interpreted as the language of eulogy. In the name of the society I say in making the selection of the succeeding president the voice of the electors fell upon the Earl of Chichester not merely because he was a landowner, not because he dwelt upon his estates among his own people, but because he has known how to secure to himself the esteem and affection of all the farmers of his neighbourhood. i I therefore invite you to join with me in a hearty cheer as we drink the health of the President-elect of the Ruyal Agri cultural Society of England. The Earl of C leil ESTEIt responded to the tome and pro posed " The Hail.' ay Companies, and thanks to them for the facilities they have afforded to the society." G. licinsoe, Esq., M.P., returned thanks ; and the com pany broke up soon after nine o'clock. In the evening of Thursday the Lady Mayoress gave an entertainment to a distinguished party at the Mansion-house. Prince Albert was one of the guests, and the company ex ceeded 700 in number. The dancing was kept up till an advanced hour in the morning. The following observations, respecting the exhibi tion of live stock, we extract from the Gardeners' Chronick and Agricultural Gazette : 811011X-I(oB.):6.—Ciali I.—From the award it will be seen that in this instance the northern breeders have failed to take that position which it was expected they would, the prize bull for all ages being a Wiltshire animal, de scended, we believe, from the stock of Mr. Garne, of North leach, Gloucester. He is a tine large animal, symmetrical, but at the same time what breeders term fleshy, rather than tine in his figure. If anything, he is also • shade too " leggy." This award, it may be believed, has been a good deal canvassed, as in the clan were many animals of a high order of merit. In many cases, it appeared to be thought that the best points which characterise the high-bred short-horns were scarcely developed sufficiently in him to justify his position. Amongst the 30 competitors which be had, Mr. Bannerman's bull (Lancaster) was selected for the second. He is an animal which does bin breeder great credit, and possesses extraordinarily beautiful hind quarters. Amongst the unsuccessful comes Mr. Bates' famous Scarborough prize bull, by Duke of Northumber land. Possessing as he does the splendid touch which cha racterises Mr. Bates's stock, were his fore-rib and shoulder up to the mark, there would be no difficulty in pointing where he should stand in the class. lie is placed second for the local prize. Another animal of rare merit was exhibited by Mr. Maynard. There were not wanting eminent breeders, who considered his quality and shape of the first order. No. 11. Mr. Ambler's bull, who obtained the Ist local prize, did no discredit to Castle Howard, or the blood of his house. Mr. Tod, East Lothian, had many admirers for his white bull The Earl of Harewood's bull, No. 26, is a little too light in his sk in, otherwise he would flnd few to go before him. If we remember rightly, he is a prize animal of the Yorkshire Society on a previous occasion. Class 11. (24 competitors.)—The prize animal 84 has, we believe, often been successful in public. His quality and shape entitle him to his honour. He is in the very highest conditioo, it is however fair to say. He obtains, of course, both local and general prize. No. 51, Mr. Wetherell's bull, only wants a little more age to make him an awkward customer. C1'5..111. : Aged cows (19 competitors.)—Perhaps it may be thought that we exaggerate when we say that the compe tition in this class was never equalled in England. For the ger eral prize, Violet, purchased by Mr. Hopper, at Mr. Car e sale, near Otley, Yorkshire, for 360 guineas, came first; and for the local prize she was met by the two prize cows Hope and Cherry Biossom , belonging to Mr. Booth, and defeat dby Hope. Each of these Cows is a winner of the Royal Agricultural Society's Ist prize, one at Newcastle and the other at Northampton; so that in this class, for the local prize to-day, wo had the three best cows in England— three winners of the Ist prize in three successive years for competition. Hope, in this case, will not deceivo her friends. It would be absurd to attempt superficial criticism en suck animals as these. "Here stand three animals, worth 1,000 guineas, and I will give GOO guineas fo r two of them," was the ejacul ation ' of an eminent Lincolnshire breeder who was examining them. Class IV.: Two-year-old Heifers (10 competitors.)—ln this clefs a splendid heifer, Charity, of Mr. Booth's, literally soared over every other animal. This animal, even in the presence of Hope, Violet, &c., we are inclined te call A. 1 b ia s the show-yard. Her merits are a speaking exemplification of the principle which regulates breeding, that like produces like, as she is a daughter of Hope. Mr. Stanhope's heifer, by Cramer, loses no credit in being placed second. Class V.: Yearling Heifers (18 competitors).—No. 87, Mr. Smith's Christmas Rose, by Baron of Ravensworth, an easy winner. No. 89, Mr. Kirkham's heifer, we fancy, must have had some difficulty in being placed second; her hind quarters might be much improved. Lord Dueie showed an animal in this class, of indispleable quality; but few in the yard equal her, in our opinion in promise. Perhaps her forequarter may be equalled, b u tt will be hard to excel. HEREPORDO.—There was a fair competition in Herefords, if we consider the locality of the show. 30 animals, in five classes, were exhibited. The Ist prize aged bull (Mr. Car penter's) is a very symmetrical soma ; of the 2nd we can not say so much. He certainly has the merit of size. Mr. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. THE PAVILION DINNER took place on Thursday afternoon, in the great pavilion erected in St. Geores-fielde, York, and was attended by a company numbering 1,200. Every seat was occupied, and the demand for tickets was far greater than could be supplied. The Earl of Yarborough, the president of the society, eccupied the chair, and the Earl of Chichester, the president elect, the vice chair. Prince Albert and the other distinguished guests were wel comed with applause on their entrance. The pavilion, like the buildiogs at the showyard, was erected at a contract price of about 3,0001. The roof of the building was supported by iron-work, and covered with floor cloth, completely imper vious to the weather, and the brill aecy and variety of the colours imparted a pleasing aspect to the interior, which was still further improved by the introduction of Inn huge stained glue windows, behind the chairman and vice chairman. After dinner " The health of the Queen" was drunk moat enthusiastically. The CitAtiomeN next proposed "The Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and the rest of the royal family." He said Prince Albert visited the show-yard shortly after his arrival in York. He examined minutely the stock exhibited, and so anxious was he to see what had been done by this society in the I way of improvement, that he again visited the show field next morning at six o'clock. (Cheers.) He was engaged for two hours in inspeciag the implements, and lie was also pleased, as a Rommer of this society, to show that re has come here, not merely to lee the show, but to evince the deep interest he takes iu this meeting by again attending the ground when it was most thronged with the inemeers; and therefore his royal highness, although he must have felt somewhat fatigued, was pleased ! to pay a second visit to the yard, in order that he might gratify the members afterwards present. (Cheers.) And I need not remind you that one of the great objects of this society has been to lead the country to know that it is nut merely for the benefit of the farmer that it bolds these meetiugs, but that it wishes sincerely that the condition of the labourers may be bettered. I cannot remind you of that without asking you if you do not believe with me that the country was perfectly electrified with the speech which was made Wan by bin royal highness when he was advocating the Maims of the labourer? (Loud eheoring.)—The tout was honoured amid loud cheers. Prince ALBERT rose to acknowledge the toast. He said— Gentlemen, I have been most de, ply touched to witness the expressions of your loyalty to the Queen, and to the mem bers of the royal family generally. I beg to return you my best thanks for having received the toast of my health with so much cordiality. (Cheer.) It has been a great aitisfac tion to me to have been enabled thie year to pay you an old debt in thus coming amongst you, and attending at this most useful and interesting meeting. All I have wen to-day and yestereay exhibits a bright picture of the progress of British agriculture, and for much of that progress the coun try is, I firmly believe, indebted to this society. Agricul ture, which was once the main pursuit of this like every other nation, holds even now, notwithstanding the de velopment of commerce and of manufactures, a funda mental position in the realin. And, although time has changed the position which was once held by the landed proprietor with his feudal dependents, yet the country gentleman with his wife, and the country clergyma , the farmer, and the :labourer, form still one great, and I hope united, fanny —(cheers)—one united family in which we gladly recognise the foundation of our social state. Steens, and mechanical improvements have changed the mere prac tice of cultivating the soil in these days into an industrial pursuit, requiring capital, machineez i skill, lied perseverance, in the struggle of competition. e must consider this a great program, as it demands higher energies and higher intelligence. Conscious of these changes, we agricultu rists of England --(tremendous cheering)—collect in these meetings--the meetings of the Royal Agricultural Society of England—in order to communicate to each other the result of our various experience, and the progress that some may have made in the application of science, in the improvement and ingenuity of machinery, or in the breeding and rearing of cattle. Feelinsr, as I do, a high and lively interest in these noble pursuits, and having myself in a small way—(renewed cheering and laughter)—experienced all the pleasures and little pangs, and knowing its raramount importance to the country, I feel highly gratified that the president of the satiety should have entrusted to me to propose to you the tract elf ie day, winch is, "Success to the Royal Agricultural Society of England." I trust you will respond to it with enthusiastic cheers. Gentlemen, " The Royal Agricultural Society of England, and summit to it." The toast was re sponded to with loud cheers. Esrl Firewtemem said—l look upon the representatives of foreign nations in a very different light-1 look upon them not as a means by which foreign nations are to act as spies on the conduct of their neighbours, but by which they are to strengthen and cement the friendship of each other. I look upon the ministers of foreign states as golden licks in that great net work of society amongst a great and civilised nation—cot the great nut work of European society merely, for I am reminded by the neer presence of my honourabie friend Mr. Bancroft (the American minister), that civilised society is no longer confined to Europe, but that it embraces the largest portion of the world. I think it a proud cir cumstance that we are honoured by the presence of the representatives of three great foreign powers. (Cheers.) I have alluded to my honourable friend Mr. Bancroft, who, in illustrating the history of his own country, bee added so largely to the literature of the world, and obtained for himself a distinguished niche in the temple of British literature. I may also refer to the minister of the Belgian moo arch, by whew presence we are also honoured on this occasion. And then, gentlemen, when I have passed to the other side of the chair, 1 return again to this aide of it, and see also near me my excellent friend Chevalier Bunsen—(loud cheers) —whose nun recalls to every man who has the slightest knowledge of English, I should rather say of European literature, as connected with these bright names the names! of Niebuhr and ol Arnold. I say, gentlemen, whether we look at the feet of these three persons being the represents. tires of foreign nations with whom we are connected, or whether we look to the individuals themselves, we may well rejoice at being honoured by their presence, and it will ill become us not to pay them the tribute of wishing them health and prosperity. (Cheers.) I now call upon you, and lam aura you will respond to me, to drink the realth of the' foreign ministers who have graced this meeting with their Faience. (Cheers.) His Excellency M. VAN ne. WEYER, the Belgian Minister, responded. lie said: Belgium has an old debt to pay to England. There is no country where our practical efforts in agriculture have been exposed in more scientific, clear, and able treatises than in England. It is now two hundred years since an English ambassador wrote and published a tract which, translated into Flemish and French, is still a sort of manual in oar country. I wish could return the compliment to the ambassador, and expose to my own country the wonders of which I have been a witness this day. The links which united Belgium to this I country have been interrupted by long and disastrous were, We have had foreign conquerors and foreign armies that have overrun our country ; bat even under the yoke— under the domination of foreign countries the re was something that kept hope at home and respect abroad. We kept, gentle. men, those two arts—the one which sustains life, the other which embellishes it, which represent the Flemish husbandry and Flemish art. As soon as national independence was ac quired again by the instrumentality of those hands which held the plough, we returned again, and we locked up to England for experience. We found bettat practical agriculture is a good thing, but could not separated from scientific ogre. culture, and we thus immediately borrowed from England every improvement that had been made successful in th is country. I very well remember the first English bulls that landed on our shores from England. It was not the particular entererise of individuals who began it. It was the government—the King—who, having a personal know ledge of what he had seen in England, brought us to intro duce these improvement iota our country. The arrival of these bull was a sort of public fete which was announced in the public gazette—the Brussels Gazette. There is another in stitution which I am happy to say we have adopted and imi tated from you, which is this very society, upon whose rules the identical society has been established in Belgium. After having been a witness of the advantages of this society, which unites in its members the Royal Prince, the landlord, and the tenant—when we we them communicate their ideas, improve their minds, and warm their hearts together, it is impossible for a practical people, and allow me to add a loyal people (loud and continued cheering), not to follow such an example. I have the satisfaction to announce that within six weeks we shall have in Brussels the first meeting of the agriculturists of Belgium. I hope, gentlemen, that we shall soon have international meetings—and that all the nations of I Europe shall be for once convinced that it is much more ad vantageous for them and for the progress of civilisation to compete in cattle than in battle, and that in showing to one another our fields we shall be proud. to show not the number of men that C3ll be killed and slain upon thole, but the number and the quantity of buihels of wheat that can be raised upon them. (Continued applau s e.) We, gentlemen, as diplomatists, are not perhaps useless implements to achieve this. It was a .id formerly that an ambassador was sent to lie abroad for the good of his country. We have now gen tlemen a better and more noble task to fulfil. We are sent to cultivate friendship and amicable relations—to sow the seeds of good feeling, so that nations may reap the harvest of peace with security. (Cheers.) I did not intend to make anything like a speech, but you have cheered me on, and we all know the influence of cheers upon the lopuunisness of n. ma I find, however, it I should return our meet sincere thanks for the honour you have conferred upon us. Chevalier BUNSEN also responded to the toast. He said : It gives me the greatest gratification to be able to my that the common fatherland of Germany . appreciates equally with yourselves the importance of ag riculture—its fundamental importance in the present position of the world in particular. Allow me to introduce a living example as to our own agricultural meetings. During the last seven or eight years there have been in many parts partial agri cultural societies, which had not exclusively the progress of agriculture for their object . Last year, however, a great society was established for that purpose, and men from all parts went in order . to meet each other to accomplish the object in view. That meeting was held in Austria, and who was president on the . occasion but a prince ? who, not being satis fi ed with the political state of his country at that time, retired, and applied himself to the study of agriculture, and was chosen as the president of that local assembly of farmers ? And who was that prince but the same man who has now been called by 43,000,000 of Germans to be teemed of that empire? If we wish to be second to none in this respect,we must wish also to be second to none in our love for peace, for it is only in peace that agri culture ran flourish. (Cheers.) Lord FOKTESCEE proposed the toast Agriculture, ma nufactures, and commerce." Several complimentary toasts followed. Lord WIILUNCLIFFE, in proposing "The Labouring Classes," said, there was not a man present but would heel Price, of Leominster, showed an animal (108) of merit. The rung bulls were a good clew, and the cows equally so. Mi. Williams may congratulate himself on possessing an animal in his prize cow (No. 118) combining the merits of her breed In a high degree. In the heifers, the competition wee, on the whole, very close. No. 120, the 2 nd prize , would h av e Perhaps been nearer the mark had she shown more figure in the rump. DEVONB.—In numbers the Devons were about equal to the Herefords, and the competition was equally close. Mr. T. W. Fouracre was deservedly successful in several dare& His cattle are evidently of a family, and that of no oeneneen sort. The prize hull (No. 138) of that gentleman we seueely think his best animal. No. 139, Mr. Hole's hull, has ill the points of a first-class animal, and deserved the honour he obtained. CATTLE OF ANT Basin.—ln this class we admired the long-horned heifers of Mr. Beard. Mr. Bowes exhibited an Argyleshire cow of wonthrful frame and fattening capabi litee. Hoesze.—Famed as Yorkshire is for its horses, we ex• pected in this class great competition. The money appor tioned for local prizes being so much added to the usual sum devoted by the society, ensured numbers; and, in this county, numbers cannot fail to produce excellence. Class I.—Stallions for aericultural purposes—(32 sorapeti tors.)—This was a eplendiu show. The first and second prize animals were noble animals. Many otherwise fine animals in this class were too light in the m;ddle ; this is a prevailing fault. Class 11.—A very excellent show. The Ist prize, No. 208, a gigantic specimen of animal power. The competi tion close, though the numbers were few. Seven coil petitors. Class lIL-r-Of two year oil stallions we cannot say much. Classes IV. and V.—Mares and fillies for agricultural pur poses. An ecellent show. In both classes the south of England defeats the north. In many animals exhibited there was a want of substance fur the purpose for which they are intended. Locee Puree.s.—HollBEB.—The exhibition in these chaise* wan ex! remely great. For stallions for hunters, 20 horses were entered. The prize was awarded to an animal of rare power and figure This horse, when three years old, obtained 2nd prize of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, and after wards theist prize of the same Society at Wakefield, in 1816. The string of medals round his neck speak of many other provincial victories. He was bred by the late Christopher Wilson, Esq., after whom he is named 't Father of the Tu-f." Some excellent young stock by this horse were shown in their respective classes. The horse is now the pro perty of Mr. Gaunt, Wetherby, Yorkshire. Mr. Heed's bores was a very deserving second. In the classes for Cleveland horses, carriage hence, and roadsters, more than forty were exhibited. Amongst the roadsters were many of first rate action and speed, and but few capable of getting weight carriers. The mares and foals of the several classes were a good show, with the ex ception of those of the Cleaveland breed, two only being shown. The first-prize hunting brood mare however bad twelve competitors. She is a superb animal, and had a epkndid foal by the lst prize thorough-bred horse at h•r foot. She has been shown on many occasions, we are told, and never was beaten. Sneer : LEICESTF.RE.—For shearling earns there was II . • ...sraordiiisry oompetltios; 70 entries, and 66 exhibited. Amongst these were animals from nearly every noted breeder of Leicester' in England. Messrs. Harvey, Jewason, Souley, Richardson, Horton, Kendall, Robinson. Sanday, Abrahams, Watkins, Botterell, Turner, l'awlett, Bitchley, Dinning, Smith, Bennett, &c.. exhibited, many of them havirg hag a d oze n animals. hen we remember that last year no Yorkshire sheep were shown at Northampton, owing, we believe, to the impression that the di ff erent ch aracteri and style of the Yorkshire breed from the Leicester sheep of the southern and midland counties, the manner in which the Yorkshire breeders have plucked up their courage and come to the post is praiseworthy. The result will perhaps bars been unexpected, nevertheless it cannot fail to stimulate to future struggles, as in this case, as well as in th. aged rams, a Yorkshire breeder, Mr. Borton, carries away the head prize. Mr. Borton's ram (252) is an animal of the finest symmetry imaginable. Per haps he he might bare a shade MOTO of what breeders term quality. The 2nd prize sheep (211), belonging to Mr. Haar. vey (Norfolk), has some excellent points. His loins and back are, beyond dispute, before anything seen seen in the yard. In forerib and shoulder, and depth aside, he is deficient. Out of a numher of excellent animals we shall not attempt to particu taiga others. For rains of any other age, except shearliugs, Mr. Borten was again successful against the same exhibitors. Nearly 40 animals were shown in Cris class. The winner, we be lien, took the first prize IS a obverting at Scarborough last year, at the Yorkshire Agricultural meeting. For local prizes in these, the class of rains, Mr. Horton, of course, took the prize with his shearling ram. In 'hurling ewes Mr. Sunday, of Ilolme Pierrepoint, took Ist and 2nd prizes ; against his first prize animals were a beautiful stock, full of blood and quality. Mr. Botterell, of Easthorpe, had five very even ewes in the class. These took the local prizes very deservedly. SOUTHDOWNB.—The competition for southdowns was most creditable to the south-country breeders, the dame heirs well filled. 25 rams were entered, and more than 20 ex hibited in the two classes. For 'hauling!, Mr. Jones Webb was, of course, successful. In this class the show was both numerous and excellent. The aged ram of Mr. Sains bury, to which the first prize was awarded, wo look upon as an astonishing animal. Perhaps he might be improved a little about the head, but his carcase would be very difficult to make more like growing weight. But four pens of ewes were shown, and there was little difficulty in awarding the prizes, merit in this class being anything but equally divided. Lono•Woots.—The long wools are a very good class in this show. More than 31) rams were exhibited in the two classes. In the shearlings, Mr. George Hewer, Northleach, obtained the Ist and second prizes, with two splendid ani mals; such quality, with such size, we have seldom seen. Mr. Gerrie, Northleach, for the aged ram, was equally meritorious. For Mr. Handy's ram, we must also confess a penchant that would induce us to put in the front rank in any competition. The honour of 2nd prize, in this instance, was no mean one. Is shearling ewes, Mr. Large obtained the first prize without difficulty. Mr. Simpson, Sledmere, Yorkshire, who obtained 2nd for ewes, had little competition in the local prizes, and obtained the prize for rams and ewes. The Yorkshire long-wool is, as yet, mach behind the Oxford shire and Gloucester sheep in the essential qualification of frame. PloB.—Yorkshire being celebrated for its hams, we should presume that more than common attention would be paid to the breeding of the animal; and it is so. In no other county we believe, is pig breeding made so much a business by the farmer, tradesman, and cottager, and so much of a fancy by the higher classes. This will explain the extraordinary competition,.which, both in point of num , hers and quality has never been equalled. 22 boars of the large breed, and , 37 of the small breed. The Ist and 2nd prize animals of both classes were very good. No. 496, au Essex boar belonging to Mr. Smith, is the best we ever saw of the kind. Of large sows 19 were entered. The wianing sow is an animal of wonderful frame, and has won many prizes. In sows of small breed the prize was aseareed to a very pretty Essex sow. 42 sows were exhibited in this class. In the class were many animals of almost unexceptionable quality and shape. Many of these animals were, how• ever, of the improved Leicester breed, which is so very opposite in size, head, and colour to the Essex pigs, that to judges who prefer the latter sort, the Leioesters, however meritorious, of course have no chance. In this class, Lord Fitswilliam exhibited a fine animal. A sow also, with a litter of 8 pigs, the property of Mr. John Hannam, North Deighton, was much admired for her sire and quality. This sow, we believe, has won the Yorkshire Agricultural Society's prize (beating the wiener of the Royal Agricultural Society's Newcastle prize) and several o her prizes. Mr. Fisher Hobbs showed some beau tiful animals of the Essex breed. The other classes of pigs were equally well contested. EXTRA STOCK.—About thirty head of extra stock were exhibited. Short-horned cattle by Mr. Bates, Mr. Booth, Lord Carlisle, &c., all of which were of the highest excel lence. The pigs in this class were also first-rate. IRELAND. MORE ARRESTS. DUBLIN, JOLT 13. . Yesterday evening, after post, Messrs. Darcy, Magee, and H ollywood, were arrested on a charge of sedition, for speeches delivered by both at a recent meeting in the county of Wicklow connected with club organisation. Both were admitted to bail, and, unless they traverse, will be tried at the present ' Wicklow assizes. Mr. Meagher left town for Limerick. Mr. James O'Brien, Q.C., who has obtained the vacant serjeantey is brother to the present member for Limerick, a Roman catholic, and a distinguished equity lawyer. He was called to the bar in 1830, and obtained a silk gown in 1843. The clubs of Cork held an open-air meeting on Tuesday night, when they were regularly marched and marshalled by their officers, and inspected by Mr. Smith O'Brien, to whom an address was pre sented on the occasion. Mr. O'Brien spoke at some length in reply, but his speech was little more than a repetition of that delivered at the soiree on the pre vious day. On the return of the clubs from the meeting, "Mr. Smith O'Brien, who was at the rear of the procession, walked along the entire line, and was saluted by each member as he passed." Mr. Smith O'Brien is to arrive in Dublin this evening. The Orange processions in Ulster yesterday (the 12th July) appear to have passed off quite peaceably. They were held in all parts of the northern province. The great object of those demonstrations was to ex hibit the rooted hostility of the Orangemen to the repeal agitation. On some of the banners were in scribed, " No Repeal—Queen and Constitution—No Surrender." The Evening Herald of this day contains accounts from all parts of Ulster, from which it appears that the processions were very numerously attended, and that each Orange Lodge adopted a form of declara tion against repeal. The meeting of the protestant repealers last night in Mnsic-hall did not comprise any fair proportion of the Orangemen. That body gathered in the Rotundo to celebrate the 12th after their own fashion. The lodges assembled in strong force, all garnished with ribbons and lilies. The room was hung with all sorts of banners and the audience was moot enthusiastic. The " modern Luther," the Rev. T. 1). Gregg, was not present, but his place was well filled by the Dublin Grand Master. The toasts were of the old strong kind. Tea and sentiments exhausted, the members walked back to their lodges. A curious circumstance lately occurred in one of the carriages of the Cashel Railway. A catholic clergyman, the Rev. M^. Vaughan, travelled with a gentleman whose insurrection ry language induced him to believe that he was in company with a de tective. On reaching Tipperary, he handed over the simulated incendiary to the police. But great was his astonishment to find that the offender was a well known attorney, who has already commented legal proceedings for the false imprisonment. An apology was offered in Limerick and accepted. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. Limerick has, even while the judges &resitting in justice on murderers, been the scene, very probably, of anotheroutrage. A man, named Hales, was visited on Saturday night laet by a few of " the bop ' ' who beat him unmercifully, and left him for dead. Re has been since removed to the county in. firmary of Limerick, but the doctors have no hopes of his surviving. Reyes had been a witness against some persons who were recently transported —0:1 the same right, in another part of the county, the house of a man named Patrick Quirk was burned down by an act of ineendiariun. Quirk had taken some land from which a previous tenant had been ejected. It was similar crimes to this which necessitated coercive legislation last December. It not their recurrence now a forcible corrobora tion of the doctrine inculcated by the Express, teat something was wanted to complete the pacification of Irelanci besides coercion. John Gorman has been convicted at the assizes now proceeding in Limerick for the murder of John Whieerror. A man was convicted for the same crime at the special commission, and there are other parties accused as principals in custody. At the same assizes John Ryan was convicted for the murder of Honors Ryan. The intent of the murderers was to kill or disable her husband, but having flung herself before the weapon levelled at him, the was hotelf the victim. One of the moat important fiscal duties of the grand juries of Ireland is the investiga tion of the accounts of the collectors of public ceos, and, seeing that these comply with the law which enjoins them to produce vouchers for its lodgment in bank to the credit of the county previous to each assizes. Now at the assizes for 11.scommon, which have just closed, the cess collectors, or barony constables, with one excerion, did not go before the grand jury and for warded no accounts. Whether they have mule and retain any progress in the collection is another thing. By the bank accounts it appears there are 10,0001. of the Sprig levies unlodged. There are new works projected for sup plying Galway with water, the cost is estimated at 20,0001. 6 The line of mains will extend over three miles. The new • cut from the harbour of Belfast to the deep sea direct will , soon be completed. The cost will be 40,0001., which the townsfolk have raised without aid or advance from any source save the income arising from the mercantile wealth have founded. THE CATHOLIC CLERGY V. THE CU:M.—The follow. inn address, signed by 56 clergymen of the diocese of Kil !aloe, m , pears in the i'ost of this evening, The bishop of the diocese, Dr. Kennedy, gays he bat waited fur answers from all the detonates of his diocese, before forwarding it for pub lication. Under these circumstances it is somewhat remark able that not one half the clergy have signed it, and these principally curates. A fair proportion ot the latter, how ever, minister in Tipperary. We hope their councils there will be for peace: We, the Roman catholic bishop and the undersigned clergy of the diocese of liiUnice, deem it a grave duty In the present alarmingl crisis of oar cowry's fortune+, candidly to declare to our fellow- countrymen, as well as to our rulers, the principles by which we in. • tend, with God', blaming, that our few* conduct towards lath shall be steadily governed. We hold then, first, and before all, that as mi nistera of the Gospel, and men, however unworthy of the exalted function, "discharging an embassy for Christ," we cannot, even in the present afflicting cirewnsi anew of our unhappy country, deliver to our people, or silently suffer to he delivered to them, any other VlMMage then that which we have been commis skirled to deliver to them, via., the Divine message of peace, patient*, and charity. We hold, secondly, that next to the para. meant interest of religion, and subsidiary thereto, it is, In an especial manner our duty, us it is certainly our moot earnest Moire, to promote the social interests of our fellomeountrymen, in decided preterexce to those of any other people whatsoever. And we do, therefore, hereby pledge ourselves to them, that they shall have our hearty cooperation in any course not inconsistent with religious obligation which they shah maturely adopt, for the raising up of our prostrate country from Ito present degradation and misery. Nye hold, thirdly, that is it has teen repeatedly confessed by even oar rater, themoolver, whether they happen to be whin or tory, that it is to Bridal legislation and British misgovern ment that the unexampled wretchedne* of Ireland is, in great mea sure at least, to be ascribed; and sr, uotwithstemtling this humiliating and (we would fain believe) penitent confession of the en Anions eine of their pet-demi-ors, we have looked in vain to either party, when in power, for some comprehensive and substantial reparation of our wrongs and cur !Parroting., it is bat charitable to behere, that our en- I during and increasing miseries are owing, not Many unwillingnesa on their part to do us tardy justice, but to the utter incompetency of Englialimen to legislate beneficially for Ireland. We hold, therefore, fourthly, after an experience of nearly half a century of Imperial legislation, during which our ill-fated country has been continually sinking into deeper and still deeper misery, that a native parliament alone can save Ireland from utter ruin. May we then, In conclusion, venture, with all deference, earnestly to recommend to our patriotic feilow-eountrymen—of every creed, and clam, and party-nbat, flinging to the winds their prejx. dims and their feuds—their clubs, their lakes, and their rifles—their obstructions and their fllace-eeekinge—they unite at once in a legal 8100tiNtierl, such as existed before the secession (the time Is pecu harly favourable for it), and make one more generous and conditu tutiorol i Sort to restore our native parliament, and Pre our beloved country from impending ruin. ROSCOMMON ASSIZIIB.—MURDER OP MAJOR MAIION.— On Monday, Patrick Hasty, James Cummin, and Martin Brennan, all comfortable-looking farmers, were placed at the bar for the murder of Major Mahon. The Attorney-General, Mr. French, Q.C., and Mr. Close, conducted the prosecution. Mr. Skelton defended the pi isoners. Hawing severed in their challenges, Hasty was first put to the bar. Several witnesses were examined, who proved very distinctly that Hasty ori ginated the murder, hawing provided the pistols, swan shot, • and liquor to prepare the others for the terrible deed. Reg ney, an old soldier, who had bean 34 yenta in the army, swore that on the fair day at Strokestown, in October last, Hasty invited him into a tavern, where a great number of persons were drinking together. He asked him in their presence whether he would shoot the major. Regney consented, and went to Hasty's house for that purpose on the following day. When the major appeared in his gig, on his way to the vil lage, Regney releated, end refused to fire.—The case for the crown had not cloned at poet time. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. THE MURDER AT LITERPOOL.—The inquest on the body of the woman Gallagher has resulted in the com mittal of her husband for the capital offence. The other man was discharged. asap ~ ADMISSION OF VISITORS TO WINDSOR CASTLE.— I Some time ago a deputation waited upon the Lord Cham berlain to request that Windsor Castle might be open msrc frequently for the inspection of strangers. The argument of the deputation was, that the concession they sought would, if granted. have a favourable effect upon the trade of the town. The Chamberlain took time to consider the question, and has now returned an answer, in which he explains cer- ' tain increased facilities for viewing Windsor Castle, but puts forward reasons why the full demands of the requisitionists ' should not be complied with. He say.: Tile regulations of Jan., ISIS, for admission to the state apartments at Wingloor thistle, and the system then adopted, were decided upon after mature connideration, and with on anxious desire to give every ' poesilde accommodation to the public, as far as was compatible with the domestic oomfort 01 the sovereign, and her Majesty gave the strongest evidence of her gracious intentions by fixing upon the civil list • comiderable charge in giving compensation to those officers who derived an income from showing the apartments for money. The principle of placing the domestic residence of the sovereign upon the same footing as a public museum, in which the facilities of atoms and convenience of the public lets be the trot consideration, is wholly inad missible. Equally inadmissible is the proposition that the regulations upon which the permission to view a portion of the Queen's residence is founded, should be suggested by the attempt to attract the greatest possible number of visite re to Windsor, for the fancied benefit of the tradespeople and innkeepers of that town. Indeed, the desire to ' make Windsor Castle • public exhibition, to attract vidtors, to which every exertion is to be made, could never he successful under any permanent reguiatione; for whenever the influx of spectators began to slacken, sane new mode of making the exhibition more popular would be suggested, and Windsor, entirely employed sie a means of drawing casual Visit/MI to the town, would become untenable m a royal residence. After some further explanations, Lord Spencer continues: lies Majesty, eves anxious to promote, as much m possible, the amusement and recreation of bee people, has also been pleased to authorise me to announce that the state apertments may he opened on one additional day in the week ; end it baring been submitted to the Queen that Monday t the day upon which the largest number of her subjects would he enabled to avail themselves of this permission, I ' have now to inform you, by the Queen's command, that the state ' apartments; will in future be open to peroons presentieg tickets upon Monday, in addition to the days heretofore announced, which will leave but two days for cleaning and keeping the apartments in cede-, std Sunday for rest for her Majesty's set rant.. Some of the rooms formerly shown to the public having been knee furnished anal used as Using rooms have necessarily been included in the private apartments; to which, however, I have, in special CAMS, given orders of admission, as is done in the case of the rest if the private apartment; and on all othaaions my object has been (after securing that comfort and retis went fur the Queen which could alone render a residence at Windsor Castle agreeable to her Majesty) to carry out the gracious wishes of the sovereign, that every facility possible should be afrwrded for the enjoyment and amusement of her people. lint arts. COUSINS'S ENGRAVING OF THE DUKE OP WEL LINOTON.—Mr. Samuel Cousins has just completed a most careful engraving, in his very best style, of the full-length por trait of the Dake of Wellington painted by Sir Thomas Law rence in 1825 for the prevent Sir Robert Peel. The Duke is represented standing on the field of Waterloo, with his short blue military cloak about him, and his telescope in his hard. The head is capitally conceived, full of manly vigour and intelligence. It is a portrait of the Duke in his best period, and is still extremely like him. The engraving is a masterly translation from the picture, and really deserves the appella tion it has receivod of " The Waterloo Portrait of the Duke." CLERICAL. PREFEHMENT.—Rey.

CECILIA FULHAM, MARGARET LYNCH, AND MARIA WCARTHY O. ALEXANDER WCARTHY AND OTHERS DEEDS OF ASSIGNMENT OF PROPERTY BY NUNS.—'I his is at appeal from a decree of the present Lord Chancellor of Ireland, dismissing a bill filed by the appellants, for enforc ing payment of shares of an intestate's personal property, comprised in deeds of assignment, executed by Maria and Catherine WCarthy respectively, to the two firs': named appellants, as trustees for themselves and all the other ladies, residing in a cony nt at Bleckrock, near Cork. It appeared that Maria and Catherine M'Carthy became professed nuns in the said convent in 1823-9, with consent of their father, who then paid for each of them I,ooel. Ile died in 1843 in testate, leasing personal prop-rty exceeding 100.0001., and ten children surviving, including these two ladies. Their brother John took out administration to the intestate, and got in his estate, and distributed shares thereof among all the children of the intestate except those twe. They, unwilling, as it is alleged, to appear themselves in any dispute in a court alas., executed two separate deeds, assigning their respective shares of the intestate's estate to the two principals of the convent, as above stated. The Lord Chancellor offered, at the bear ing of the cause, to direct an issue at law, to try whether the deeds were respectively executed by the young ladies as free agents, and the counsel for the plaintiffs, the present ap pellants, declining to take the issue, and insisting that, with out it, they were entitled to a decree, the Lord Clqkucellor bring himself of opinion, "that the deeds were not executed by them of their free will, but under the pressure and com pulsion of the vow of obedience taken by them on becoming professed members of the convent, and wherein tier) , still remained as such members, and under the obligation of the said vow declared that no relief ought to be granted founded on deeds so obtained, and his lordship dismissed the bill, with costs, to be paid by the two find-named appel lants, but without prejudice to any ether suit which the third appellant or her sister Catherine ld'Caritly (who is named • respondent in the appeal) might be advised to institute as next of kin of their father.—Mr. Turner and Mr. Bethel' (with whom is Mr. Anstey) have been heard fur the appel lants.—Mr. Rolt after them addressed the house fur the respondents till a Quarter past four, wken the further bearing was adjourned.—We will give • full report after the argu ments are conc.uded. Mae. DAWSON'S, DtvORCE pat.—The counsel in sup. port of the bill appeared at the bar at half-past tour o'clock, there being then a full house, and examined three witnesses as to the propriety of Mrs. Dawson 's conduct, in compliance with an intimation from some oft he peers on a former day.— A Mr. Alger, the first of these witnesse s, said he knew Mr. Lees, Mr.. Dawson's father, for many years, and that lady herself since 1841. Both his sisters, one a widow, the oher a maid, but now married, used to visit Mrs. Dawson. Mr. Lees is 74 years of age, and not able to attend the house. Witness had not seen Mrs. Dawson fur some time until he met her in the lobby of the house one day since this bill was introduced.—Mrs. Jackson, the second witness, is the widow of an officer who served in the Indian wars of Made, eke. She resided at Kensington for two years, and while there became acquainted with Mrs. Dawson, and knew her since 1846, when she resided at the house in Orme-square, of which her husband took possession. She then went into lodgings in St. James's-street, near the Palace ; afterwards to Brighton ; and after that to Chapel-street, Grosvenor-square. The witness described Mrs. Dawson as a " lady of elegant deportment and polished mermen., and of perfectly proper conduct," and did not know any other terms in which she could properly describe her. to answer to questions from Lord Redesdale arid other peers she said she first became acquainted with Mrs. Dawson at Dr. Blundell''. Although travelling about in Devonshire, Scot land, and Ireland, she kept up an oossional correspondence with Mrs. Dawson, who is now lithe( in a small house in or near Manchester-square, with two female servants and a boy. She does net go into company, nor make any acquaint ances or visits, in consequence of the paiqun in which ,he is placed. Her conduct always appeared to be perfectly cor rect. Witness does DOS know hew the establishment is sup ported.—The Rev. Mr. Cassolet said he became acquainted with Mrs. Dawson atßyde, in the Isle of Wight,in 1841. She was there with her little girl for the benefit of their health. H. had k ep t up an acquaintance with her since then, -i ,ofq,
