NATIONAL PARLIAMENTARY AND FLNAN- CIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. IPSWICH, TVESIDAT EVENING. Tho members of the Suffolk Agricultural llelief Association and the tenant farmers of the eastern division of the County of Suffolk have been for a long time raised from their apathy by privately considering what steps they should take for obtaining redress of the grievances by them complained of since " protection " has fled from them and " free trade " become triumphant. Finding, however, that no progressive steps have been taken in the direction they have so vainly looked for, they determined on coming forward themselves in a public manner to make known the grievances of which they complain, and for the purpose of promoting the attainment, among others, of the following, being prominent objects of the Suffolk Agricultural Relief Association : Ist, the repeal of the malt tax ; 2nd, the al teration of the present unjust tithe system ; 3rd, au equit able measure of tenant right ; 4th, a thorough revision of the present mode of managing the county expenditure ; and sth, the abolition of the game laws. A public meet ing was accordingly held for the above purpose at the Corn Exchange this evening, to which " all persons interested in the welfare of the agriculturist and industrious classes were requested to attend and give their assistance." Tho meeting was advertised to take place at six o'clock, but the business did not commence till a few minutes before seven. Between 6410 and 700 persons were present. P. R. WELCH, Esq., of Yaxley Hall, an extensive landowner, was called to the chair; and, having addressed the meeting, The SECRETARY (Mr. F. W. Johnson, a tenant farmer of Ringehall) read the report, winch stated that the association was formerly organised at a meeting of far mer. and others interested in agricultural pursuits and agri culture. assembled at Stowmarket, on the 19th of June last. The movement originated among a few humble practical men, who, suffering much from the pre-sure of the times, greatly desired to adopt such proper measures as would make known their grievances, and such remedies as would secure them redress. At the Stowmark,•t meeting the following resolutions were passed news con :—"1. That this meeting cordially concurs in the sentiments ex pressed in the memorial which ha.. been read; and is desirous that an association be formed for the pur pose of obtaining relief from the burden.; which peculiarly press upon agriculture, and which ',hall also in vite the co-operation of the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association. 2. That au be forthwith formed, to be called the Suffolk Agricultural Re lief Association, and that a minimum suleAription of 21. per annum shall entitle every person to become a member. d. That a committee be appointed to manage the husiuess of the association, and that the following getith men be re quested to act upon it:—Mews. Samuel Matthews, of Ravens Hall, near Hadleigh ; Isaac Everett, of Stansfield, near Clare; John Itushbrooke, of Easton, near Wickham Market ; Stephen B. Johnson, of Wickham Brook, near Newmarket; Jonathan Wright, of Codslenharu; John Hitchcock, of Rattlesden ; Thomas Carter, of Stowuplaud ; James Matthews, of Wattisham ; W. W. Johnson, of Ring shall; W. Boutell, of Stowniarkt ; J. IV. Steven., and I'. It. Welch, of Yaxley Hall, with power to add to their number. Alfred Packard, of a% oolverstone; Fox, of Coddeuhaus • Joseph Woollard, jun., of Wickham; and IV. B. l'ratt, of Straclbrooke. 4. That the following be the objects of the assaciation:-I.t. 'filo repeal of the malt tax. 2n41. The alteration of the present unjust tithe system. 3rd. An equitable measure of teuant right. 4th. A thorough revision of the present mode of managing the county expenditure. sth. The abolition of the game laws. 6th. The removal of the restrictions to the growth of excisable articles. At the committee meeting of the 26th ofJ une, it was decided that Mr. Samuel Matthews be requested to act as treasurer, and Mr. W. Johnum as secretary (pro tem.); that cards for members of the 451,0- ciation be immediately printed, and sense measures be taken to dispose of them. The committee Imre since met twice at Ipso ich, and on each occasion have spent several hours is conferring upon the business of the association. They are happy to state that among their members they count tiny voters. The committee confidently an ticipate that the association will commend itself so I strongly to the support of all who have at heart the prospsrity of British agriculture and other industrious pursuits, that it will continue to make a steady increase in the accession of members, and addition', to its tunds. Mr. S. B. JOHNSON, a landlord, from Wickham, moved "That the report now read be received, adopted, and printed ; and that, in the opinion of this meeting, it is the duty of all who desire the prosperity of British agriculture to unite in striving to remove the burdens under which the cultivators of the soil are now suffering." As tenants and farmers they had come toaiight to meet together to try and obtain the objects which they had all at heart. It might be well, on the prcsait occasion, very bristly to review their past and present prospects from the time when protection left them—since the time when free trade overtook them, ' as some imagined, high mid dry, stranded, and almost ship wrecked—(laughter)—from the storm they had hail to en. counter. (Hear, hear.) Ile imagined that much time had already been wasted by them, and many vainly regretted the position in which they now found themselves placed. lout what had they dour ? What the better were they now fro;n the etfeeta of free trade ? After all their hopes, mid promises made by those who were bound to assist th e m, were they not mill left in the same gloom, mist, and dark nets ? (Rear, hear.) As soon as protection was lost—gone for ever—the fanner looked around him fur assist ance. And frost whom did he look for assistance? Why, to those in whom they had pl iced confidence. What did those parties say when applied to? They said (the leaders in when they had placed confidence), " Why, you must go fur nothing, attend to nothing, and believe in no thing but a retain to the principles of protection." (Laughter.) Very good, they persuaded the farmer to be lieve all they told . him. Many of them did so. Their leaders said, "Oli, make yourselves comfortable, we will bring the whole question before the House of Commons— we will set your case fully before them, and the result will be a re-imposition of duty upon foreign corn." (Laughter, and a Voice : " 0. b. Young.") The question was laid, not only once, but twice, before the House of Commons, who decided to continue the principles of free trade. (Cheers.) " Wait a little longer," they had been told, " and a good time is unquestionably coining." (A laugh.) This they did, having had faith and confidence in their leaders: they had waited already too long for the oppor tunity to present itself. (Laughter.) By and bye the house made another favourable start for business, and in fair weather, they had been told, but the wooden obstruc tion was fairly upset. The ministry was beaten, and it was said that Lord John Russell was fairly overthrown ; but what happened ? Lor.l Stanley failed to till up the breach —(laughter)—no protective policy had followed from that time to this. (Hear, hear.) Let the legislature remove the burdens that now pressed upon them. Free trade had gained such a footing as could not be removed, and let them do all in their power to grow corn at free trade prices. (Hear, hear.) What the farmer said to the manu facturer and artisan was—lf you will juin us in attempting to remove the burdens under which we labour we will assist you. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) We don't ask you whether you are protectioni.ta, free trailers, whits, tories, or radicals, we have nothing to de with that. Wo ask you whether you like the malt tax ? If you don't like it, and the other burdens of which we complain, we ask you to endeavour to assist us in removing them. (Cheers, and " We will.") Mr. EVERARD, a tenant fernier, in seconding the re solution, said, he firmly believed that if the farmers as • body, at the time the corn laws were repealed, had joined at once to have free trade carried out in every particular, many of the burdens of which they now complained would hove been removed, so that they would have been in a bet ter position than they now were. (Cheera.) - CHAS. LATTIMORE, Esq., from the National Fiiva cMl Reform Association , supplrted the resolution in an excellent speech, in the course of which he exhorted the farmers to unite in the cause in which they had embarked, contending that the agriculturista as • class were entitled to the same privileges as other capitalists, and expressed his opinion that it needed only combination among them selves to ensure them all they were now asking for. Mr. RUSHBROOKE, a tenant farmer from Euston, pro- I posed the next resolution That this meeting approves of the principles of the Suffolk Agricultural Relief Associ ation, and pledgesiteelf to the promotion of its operations, and that it would rejoice in the formation of similar societies in other C. ATKINSON, Esq., seconded the resolution in a short but animated speech. Mr. MATTHEWS, a tenant farmer, residing at Lindsey, moved the third rmsolution " That this meeting under takes to rapport only such candidates for the representa tion of the county as will pledge themselves to support in parliament the olNects of the association." Mr. EVERETT, a tenant farmer at Capel, most cor dially seconded the resolution. Mr. SLACK spoke in support of the resolution, in the course of which he observed that it would not be long before they had a monster meeting at Ipswich to consider the measures of financial reform. (Applause) Mr. PACKARD, a tenant farmer, moved that the gen tlemen whose names are given in the above report be nomi nated as a committee. Mr. R. PARTRIDGE, jun., a tenant farmer, Aldham, seconded the resolution. The resolutioas were put seriatim from the chair, and were earitied unanimously. A vote of thanks laving been passed to the chairman, the meeting broke up.

NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. AT WILLIS'S ROOMS. LEAGUE OF UNIVERSAL Yesterday evening, the fourth annual meeting of this institution took place in the large room of the London Tavern. There was a numerous attendance. On the motion of Dr. Oxre;,secunCetl by the Rev. Japer Drums, Mr. Cu.As GILPIN Wall unaniniumly called on to prt.ide. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceeding* by calling on Mr. Enwrap Far, the secretary, who read the report of the committee fur the past year. "The object of the organisation is ' To employ all legitimate and moral means for the abolition of all war, and the spirit and manifestations of war, through out the world; for the abolition of ell restrictions upon intonational correspondence and friendly inter. course, and of whatever else tends to make enemies of nations, or prevents their fusion into one peaceful brotherhood; and for tho abolition of all ins;itutions and customs which do not recognise and respect the image of God and a human brother in every man, of whatever clime, colour, or condition of humanity.' The committee, in closing their fifth year's experience and labours desire gratefully to acknowledge those indica tions of succor and progress which have been permitted to attend the ciliate of the league in this and other countries. They have sought to prosecute this enterprise of Christian duty in dependence upon the power of Him whose benig nant policy was expressed in the brief but comprehensive command, 'lore as brethren;' and the whole scope of their endeavour has been to institute such measures as appeared most likely to give practical elfeet, upon the broadest scale, to this goal code of individual, social, and international po lity. Their desire to give the widest possible publication to the principles, and to facts bearing upon the principles they advocate, has led to the establishment of the Olive Leaf Mission, a department upon which a large proportion of the League effort has been concentrated during the past yosr. Arrangements have been made with the editors of the most influential and widely circulated journals in Europe, who now insert every month an Olive Leaf occupying from two to three columns of their parser, the matter fur which is carefully compiled by Eli h u Burritt, and is translated by well qualified correspondents of the League in the respec tive countries into French, German, Danish, and Spanish. In this way the committee have every reason to be lieve that they reach at least a million readers upon the Continent every month, and they receive fre quent and most grutitying evidence of the happy influence produced upon many minds by this silent educational process. This foreign mission of the Dove has been sus tained by the active and zealous co-operation of the Lndiea' Olive Leaf Circles, sixty of which have now been formed as auxiliaries to the League of Brotherhood in Edin burgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bnsail, Southampton, and other towns. Another mea sure ;originated by the League, and to which the committee attach much importance as an auxiliary to the cause of peace and brotherhood, is the movement for an ocean penny 1, ostage. The proposition has been most favourably received by all classes of the commu nity, and the committee have every reason to believe that during the present or ensuing session a motion will he brought helm.: the House of Commons by an influen tial member of parliament for the estriblishinent of this great and important agency for promoting friendly and commercial international correspondence. The com mittee have, miuelit to give expression to the anti-slavery sympathies and tendencies of the League of Brotherhood, by promoting as far as lay in their power the free Labour movement—endeavouring, through the medium of the Ladies' Olive Leaf Circles, to increase and extend the demand for articles the produce of free labour in preference to those stained with the guilt of slave toil." The cash account showed a gross receipt of 2661., and a balance of 1011. in hand. The CHAIRMAN stated that about 1701. of the expen diture had taken place in connexion with the fenign move ment. _ Mr. T. BEGGS moved, "That the reports of the were ary and treasurer he accepted, and that the present offi cers of the League of Brotherhood be requested to serve fur the ensuing year, with power to add to their number." lie congratulated the meeting on the splendid result of the recent Peace Congreas, and observed that its proceedings had had a decidedly practical tendency. Mr. J. P. BLACK IE, of Ipswich; seconded the resolu tion, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the distinguiahing character of this league was that it was friendly to all and antagonistic to none. (Hear.) lie had been inforined, in a note from Mr. Cole, one of the eataillti ve committee of the G:,:at Exhibition, that an associ stion of various nations hal been formed for the establish:nent of a cheap iuternatioual postage; and amongst its in.aubcrs were Lend Ashburton, Mr. W. Brown, M.l'., Mr. Villiers, M.l'., and several ennueut foreigners. (Hear, hear.) The ltev. 'Dr. BURNS moved, " That this meeting fully commends to the support of the friends of peace the periodi cal and regular insertion of articles on the subject iu the widely eireudited and intlumtial journal, of the con tinent of Europe, and of other coantries, as a very efficient and economical method of bringing the princi ples of peace bef ere a vast number of persons who could not be reached by any other instrumentality." Ile observed that the method adopted by the society for pro ' imitating its principles on the continent was most effective ; ' articles such as those of Mr. Elam Burritt must carry con ', viction to every one who read them. (Ileac, hear.) Of the necessity Pie this society no one cou!il doubt, while its organisation was admirably adapted to secure the end pro posed. Already the "olive leaves" had appeared in most of the languages of Europe. Mr. S. BOW LEY, of Gloucester, seconded thercsolution At this stage of the proceedings the deputation of the working men of Paris, Li in number, now on a visit to London, entered the meeting and took their places on the platform, amidst loud demonstrations of applause. Mr. 110WLEY observed that no morn effective advocacy of the principles of the society could be addressed to the audience. lle had the firmest faith in the rapid advance of peace principles on the continent, especially amongst the working classes of France. Their attention had tacit but lately called to those principles, and doubtless they would be embraced with enthusiaans. The CHAIRMAN here read a letter from Dr. Charles Mackay, expressing concurrence in the objects of the society. Mr. ELIHU BUERITT was received with loud demon strations of applause. Ile moved, " That iu the opinion of this meeting the establishment of an ocean penny postage would be a great blessing to all the nations of the earth ; increasing their commercial and social intercourse, and uniting them more and more closely in the bonds of peace and brotherhood ; whilst at the same time it would attach the colonial subjects of the British crown to the mother country by new ties of intermit and affection." Ile stated that the term "ocean penny postage" meant that a letter weighing half an ounce should be conveyed from any port where the foreign mails touched fur one penny, in addition to the inland postage. Should other nations estabdsh a system of penny postage like ours the entire charge for letters would be only threepence. (Hear, hear.) The pro ject had been five years before the public; it had been well received by or n of all classes and polities, who expressed their belief that it would he a great advantage to the world at large. They only doubted whether it would pay ; this objection removal, there would be nothing to prevent its adoption. Ile had shown in a small publication that an ocean penny postage would certainly pay. (Hear, hear.) To secure the same amount of revenue front toreign letters so at present the number going by the route between Dover and Ostend should be doubled; those between Dover and , Calais should be trebled; and those to and from America ' quadrupled. That such an increase in the number of letters would take place was beyond doubt. At present the mercantile correspondence from Hamburg was sent by the steam-packet twice a week, in preference to the daily mail packets by Ostend, because 7d. was saved in the postage. AU past experience proved that a reduction of postage largely increased correspondence; and no ono connected with the Poet-otfice service would doubt that an ocean penny postage would double the correspondence between Dover and Ostend. On the route between Dover and Calais the letters musi be trebled to keep up the present amount of revenue ; and looking at the present exorbitant rate of postage between this country and France, there was no doubt this would be done. While a man of 2501b5. weight was conveyed to and from Paris fur 245., a letter weighing only a quarter of an ounce was charged 10d., of which 6jil. was fur the transit from Dover to Calais; and a letter of half an ounce cost 16d., of which Bd. was for the transit. The whole charge of a letter from Liverpool to the most western parts of America, upwards of 7,000 miles, was only Is. Thus the correspondence between this country and France was more heavily taxed than any other. (Hear.) Could the British government be induced to establish an ocean penny postage on the Atlantic, nearly all the correspondence between the two hemispheres would pass by that route; hence a very large increase might be calculated on. The inland postage of the States was now lid. ; it would soon be reduced to Id. ; and with ocean penny postage the total charge of an American letter would be threepence. As the present charge was Is., a fourfold increase would be requ ired; and, looking at the continued increase of emigration, this might confidently be looked for. Last year, the 12%000 inhabitants of California had received and sent away a million and a half of letters, the charge on each of which was Is. &1., a proof of how great a correspondence would take place under certain eir camstancen. It could not be doubted that the 400,000, people annually emigrating to America from this country would, with proper facilities, write and receive as great a number of letters. The British post-office now forwarded books under half a pound weight for 6d., and a book weighing a pound was conveyed to New York or Hong Kong for Is., being charged for the ocean postage. Nothing coals more liberal and wise than this arrangement ; it was to open up a new traffic, by enabling parties to coniett e ots direct from publishers in Paternoster-row. (Hew. hear.)

This day the grand annual marina regatta took place at Lowestoft, under the patronage of Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, Bart., S. M. Peto, Esq., M.P., and a huge body of members of the Eastern Yacht Club, and was most numerously and fashionably attended. The course, for yachts, yawls, and boats, was from the moorings laid down abreast of the New South l'ier head, thence to the south buoy off Newcombe, thence through the Stamford Channel, round the light ship, and under the shoal buoys, thence to the starting-place, passing between the pier and the cutter anchored abreast. Twice round the worse, passing all the buoys en the port. The distance sailed was about 20 miles. The first match of the day was sailed by yawls, for a purse of 30 sovereies.

THE SHOOTING C.tsE AT BATH.—Mr. William Bowcher, the person charged with shooting at Mr. Burley, with intent, Sze. the particulars of which appeared in th e Erpress on Tet:•day was agsin brought up before the magistrates at Guildhall, Bath, on that day, and under.. went an examination, whirls lusted for upwards of six hours, the proceedings shortly before six o'clock being again adjourned till A eilinsduy. Nearly all the assistants and porters sleeping on Mr. 1 ucker's premises on the night the uffs-nve was committed were examined at witnesses, and the question put to each of them, whether ho had fired a gun or pistol on the night in question, or knew who did? This negative kind of evidence was considered necessary in consequence of the difficulty experienced in getting up the case, all the testimony lying amongst parties with whom the prisoner was connected—and the case depend ing entirely upon circumstantial evidence. The witnesses all denied that the prisoner, to their knowledge-, was ever possessed of a pistol, but snore of them stated that he had two guns in his room, with which he was accustomed to go out shouting. The principal facts elicited against him con sequently was, that he had expressed his determination to shoot any person who threw water over him, that water was thrown over him on Friday night, that the prosecutor saw the flash come from the direction of prisoner's bed roopt-window, that no person else had access to his room, and that he himself admitted, after the act was committed, and when spoken to by oce of the assistants who was awoke by the report, that he was in his room when the report was heard, his remark being, " I was sitting on my bed read ing * newspaper when I heard the report, and it made me jump. I did not do it, for I bad no pistol." On toe following day a pistol, presenting the appearance of having been recently discharged, was found by a lad in a yard opposite the window of the prisoner, and about 20 yards from the house. Then came tic evidence of the police. Inspector Drake deposed to the prisoner, who had charge of Mr. Tucker's premises, having refused to admit him after the occurrence, alleging that it was against the rules of the house to open the doors to any one after It o'clock at night. The next day he took the prisoner into custody, and onexawiuing the premises he foundoutside the prisoner' s bed room window, a few inches towards Mewl'. Jones and Bensly's, where the prosecutor was, a black mark on the wall, apparently caused by the recent explosition of gun powder as though a pistol had been tired off close to it. In aline with this mark on the side of at window between the prisoner's and the prosecutor's were four shot marks, end beyond where the prosecutor was looking out, end in a line with the other marks another shot mark was found in a pipe running down the front of the house. On Wednesday the examination was proceeded with when Police-Sergeant Ilibberd deposed to searching the prisoner's room, and finding in it a quantity of gunpowder, caps, and shots of different sizes, souse of wlmieh corresponded witlithme extracted from the prosecutor'. head. Mr. Slack, solicitor for the prisoner, made an eloquent address to the bench on his client's behalf, for the purpose of showing the absence of any malicious intent, and with the view of inducing the magistrates, if they resolved to commit him, of making it a common assault, instead of the more serious offence. The bench having consults!, however, his worship said they ware unanimously of opinion that the evidence was suffi cient to commit him on the graver charge. The nrisoner was accordingly committed to take his trial at the next Somerset assizes. Bail however was accepted, himself in 2001., and two sureties in 1001. each. The court was thronged throughout the eatire proceedings.
