It appeared that comphunaut, in the month of December, 181i3, took a farm of defendant, which farm included the food upue which the alleged trespass took place.

These local moieties have spread all over England, which is undoubtedly proof of their popularity and somas. The principle upon which local associations of this hied are founded is of an inestimable character. The local sentinmeet in man is the strongest panne In his nature . At this moment there are Roglishmen in Australia, in Julia, in China, sod in America. toiling with all that enterprise of which Englishmen are aloes capable, laming languages that were never heard of, and entering into speculations of the most hazardous and dif ficult character. Why ere they making all these exertions! Only that they may speed their last years in the home where they were born. (Cheers.) This local feeling is the parent of most of oar virtues It is the best security foe our public liberty, because it is the opponent of nodes osotral auth or ity. M I without doubt. the purest source of our domestic affections, which are the most salutary basis of all good government. Bat although I entirely appreciate these !local sentiments, and although societies like this should not only be maintained, but multiplied, still, like all other good Unzip, they have some attendant disadvantages. Social seutuniint, if too much indulged, tends to contracted views of many circumstances and subjects, While, therefore. I wish these societies to pursue their worse in this important county, I would increase the area of oompetation upon all the rubjects that interest our agricultural world. The right bee. gentleman then suggested, with the object of carrying out this view, that the Royal Backiagliamshire Agricultural Associatioe, instead of meeting always at Aylesbu , should meet at various parts of the county, and resumed hie seat amidst loud obsess Mr. HJIMM, INZP., also briely adisieriedged the tusk and a ember el Ober toasts were gives, and the meeting separated. THE REGISTRArms. MIDDLFSEC. Mr. Zdmohd Beale*, the barrister appointed to revise the electoral lists for the comity of Middlesex, held his wart yeeterday, in the Vestry-hall of Bethnal-peen parish, and revised the bats of that parish, and of the perishes of Christ's Ctureb, St. John 's, Hackney, St. Iwo bard's, Shereditch, St. Matthew, Reanalyses, sad the Old Artillery Ground, entitled t o v o t e a t the polling dis trict, Bethael•green.

The claimants were objected to by the conservative agents, and were supported by Mr. James for the liberals. Mr. Smith mud in case of the decision being in favour of Use voten be 'bock ask for an appeal case to the Court of Carman Pleas, sad be therefore requested tbe barrister to take a careful Detect the evidence. The Barrister, after some fortbe7direweioo, said be could really have no doubt about this came himself. Looking at the clause in the deed, be said it appeared to his mind con clusive that the parties had subscribed moeey to buy property in which they all bed an equal ielvrees. It was conveyed to treeless, bat for the nee sod bereft of the shereholders, and the conveyance was made t.. tint see only for the sake of convenience of managing and d.slioe with the property ; and the members had all the bee. hi, with the trustees, who were also members. There was another provision, that at the death of any one of the memo, iv his share should go to his executors. That was simply en arraegenuset for were. Dienes also, as the be tat-law might happen to be a minor. Nothing, he thought, could be wronger in favour of those votes than the owe of Baxter and Newman. He did not think, however, that Bennett and Blain, a recently decided case, at all affected this, the boidieg being of a different character. He should, therefore, retain the claims. Claims retained acoordiegly. Mr. Ashford hoped the barrister would award him costa, seolos that he and the other claimant. had been troubled to attend personally at the court shout twenty times to prove their clairoa. The Barrister declined to grant costa, on the ground that the recent caw of Bennett and Blain must have occasioned reasonable doubt es the point, although to his mind it did not apply.

Routes closed at 65.85, or the same as yesterday. ITALY. (mom ova cam CORIMPONDINT.) TURIN, Oct. 3 There is no doubt that the Convention of Paris is looked upon at Vienna as a sort of challenge, as a second edition of Louis Napoleou'a famous words addressed to Baron Hubner at the Tuileries recep tion of the Ist January, 1859. The news of the stipulated convention had scarcely reached the councillors of Francis Joseph than orders to hasten the armaments of Verona, Mantua, Legnano, and Peachier& were sent to General Benedeck. To-day we Lave the confirmation of this fact, which is moreover corrohorated by the information I re ceived from a gentleman who left Verona on Satur day morning. According to my informant, the earth works which have been erected for the defence of the Tonale military road, have been armed with 18 rifled guns, and with four mortars of 24. Mantua citadel, the "tits de pont " of Saint Giorgio, the works which defend Pajolo, Pistols, and those on the Osune stream, as well as the crescent of Belfiore and the bastions of Pradella, have all been placed in a state of defence, or, as the Austrians say, on a war foot ing. The garrisons of Mantua and Verona are on the eve of being increased, for I bear, from a re liable source, that the municipalities of those cities have received the order for making the necessary preparations for the arrival of new regiments, both of infantry and cavalry. New and extensive forti fications are also being constructed on the left bank of the Po, between Sermide and Ponte Lagoscuro. The defences of Borgoforte and Sal lett*, I am told, have also been strengthened by new forts. If, therefore, we do not yet hear the clanging of arms, we are almost witnessing the great military preparations Austria is making. . . . . The Italians in their turn are redoubling their activity, and the war-office of Turin is busy from nine o'clock in the morning till night. The hammer of the arsenal here does not rest even during the night, and the same occurs in those of Piacenza, Bologna, Alessandria, and Casale. In consequence of the transfer of the capital to Florence orders have been given to have the fortifications of Bologna greatly increased and strengthened. New forts will be raised on the left side of the river Reno, for the erection of which 20,000,000 francs are required. The large railway station itself will be turned into a strong fort, and a new one will be built at San Felice gate. There is a swarming of workmen from all parts of the kingdom in the dockyanls of Naples, Genoa, and Castel'smart., which shows that the Italian navy is not idle, but preparing itself to assert by deeds its superiority over the meagre and timid Austrian fleet anchored at Pols. The Italians, in short, think that if they are conirelled to renounce Rome, at least for the present, Venice—the noble, the self-denying, the martyr Venice—will be united to the Italian kingdom not later than next spring. It is a characteristic of agitated times to see men who are bent on mischief spreading about all sorts of absurd news in order to keep up the excite ment of the people. This sort of men, who come to the surface of society as frogs come to the surface of the water after a storm, had begun by spreedingabout that parliament would not be convoked in Turin, but in Milan. When this assertion was contradicted, they mentioned Reggio, [Stamped, ld. Additional.] MR. DISRAELI Al' SALTHILL. The annual dinner of the Royal South Bucking hamshire Agricultural Association took place at Salthill yesterday; Mr. C. J. PLUM in the chair. Among those present were the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M.P.. Mr. Harvey, M.P., Major-General Hood, Rev. W. P. Marryatt, Mr. H. W. Tramper, Mr. Wolds, He. Alter the customary loyal and patriotic toasts, Mr. TROMPLII pee " The Comity Members," and in the mums of his observations remarked that Mr. Disraeli, is his speech the other day at Aylesbury, had described farmers mid farming in a too roseate hue. The returns from wheat and staple articles of their produce were most unsatisfactory : this year their turnip fields were in a very miserable condition. He was told that one effect of the right hon. gentleman's speech was that wheat fell 2s. (A laugh.) Bat he was sure that was • result which Mr. Disraeli did not wish. At this moment beans, the food of beasts, were producing • higher price than the great article of human consumption. He also dissented from the proposal of the right boo. gentleman to cross Downs with Cotswolds. The toast was drank with great cordiality. Mr. Dnittaxu, in replying, said—Mr. Chairman and gentle mime, I thank you for the very kind manner la which you have received the proposal of my health—not the first time offered ie this rooaread always reosiving from you that cordial welcome which la my beet encouragement in the per formaace of my duties. (Hear, hear.) I ham always felt peat regard for this part of the country in which my earliest years were pseud. I still Wok that the man who rides through the vale of Chiltern rides through the finest part of English scenery, and one which recalls oar ideas of old English scenery more than any other part of the island. 1 should have been glad on the present cies &ion to have confined myself merely to thanking you for your recognition of me as one of your members, and I did not expect that I would be called upon for the very arduous duty of replying until the 4th of next February. (A laugh.) But Mr. Tromper has thought fit—and no man from his long experience was more entitled to do so—to maks some remarks about observations which 1 meetly made before a portion of my constituents in another part of the country. lam sore you will allow me very briefly to notate these observations, and I am apt to think upon rased°, that you will be of opinion that my views are Dot so ill grounded as Mr. Trooper would lead you to suppose. With regard to the character of the pressot beirved—a very grave question, upon which no one ought to speak with levity or thoughtlemiess I certainly formed my opinion from information which reached me from almost all puts of the country. From that ieframation it was my opinioo that we had • very fine harvest, and as resod' that pot of England in which I am most interested, namely, the county which I represent, I had some individual means and some peomeal opportuaidos of obtaining informations. I listened mid observed in the Chiltern Hills is my owe immediate neighbourhood, sad from what I leveed and observed I thought the harvest had reached the character which it had received in the greater part of the country. (Hear, hear.) Ido not mean to say teat all cur crops have eneespded. I moot recall • harvest is which that result Ma coeurred, but I thought that the peered re sults of the harvest were highly satisfactory. I visited the northern part of our county, and our celebrated central vale, and all my obeinvations led me to believe that the or dinar, character which was given to the harvest wee sound, and that it was abundant and atiormsful. I confide, bos omy, that I made uoe mistake. I was remiss in not visiting the extreme south of the county, but the roam was this : I found that all parties aimed that the cereal crops were most abundant sad knowing what Sissy were in the district in which I lived, sad leaning what they were in the valley of Aylesbury, it never occurred to me that in the extreme south, where there ia a piece of corn land lutist°, to tow ' in England, laid out most cooveuisetly is ample and ad mirable fields, and cultivated by some of the most skilful farmers in the county—l say it saver occurred to me that in the land of the Troopers and Washes and Alridgeoi, and the Pullets, there had been such a complete sad absolute failure. (Load laughter sod cheers.) There I cootie' I made& great mistake. I have lamed again what I have often learned before, that you should mythic' for granted—(a laegb)but such was my cos fidence in the soil, such were my recollections of Chippeultam fanners, such was my knowledge of ti i• men whom I had always looked to with confidence as constituents, that in the general abundance of cereal crops I believed they would produce multi equal to theme of any other part of the country. And from what I have seen today 1 menet believe—even after the Denmethatio 'emo tive of Mr. Tramper—that this favoured part of the county of Buckingham has been struck with that barrenness to which he has alluded. (A laugh.) Indeed, when I listened with attendee to the speech of my friend, I discovered towards the end that it was not so much low production as low prices that he complained of. (Laughter and cheers.) Gentlemen, I honestly admit that I meet secure you high prices. I once supported • system —as did also • great majority of the gentlemen connected with the oultivatioe of the land in this °vestry— which might have had that effect ' • but that has been now universally given up by the coun try, and 1 don't think that I shall be called upon to enure high prices is that way by the skilful farmers of Buckingham. Mr. Tromper stated that at this moment food for men commands a lower price than food for boots, and asked " what are we to do ? " I will tell you whet to do—produce food for besets. (Bear, hem.) Your business so traders is to get a good return for the employ , anent of your capital, and although I regret that the *dent ' able cereal production of this part of the country do not command • price which can remusierate the grower, still if you consider that • bat is only intended as food for beasts will give you a larger price. as commercial men you have only one line to take under the circumstances. Bot mot refer to the statemeot, which it I cannot contradict it may cot me the honour of reps septum you, namely, that those unhappy observation which I made to your fellow constituents at Aylesbury, absolutely lowered the pile* of wheat two shillings. My friend Mr. Trooper. who is • cautious man, said that he only beard it ; but he had an ardent supporter tabled him who stated that it was quite true. (Laughter.) I have rarely Hesse serious • charge made, and I don't know upon what authority the portentous cooclusioe hes hems arrived at. Now, I should say myself that the results of my °bier ' witless at Aylesbury, if I had my intender' upon the sub ject, must have beet of a contrary tendency. If any person of authority, who is supposed to have the confidence dome part of the country, mammas that the harvest has base so prolific and abundant that it Ins seldom been equalled, Use foreign importer would begin to fume and salt what was the use of seeding his produce to en island where be was told there was so good a harvest. I should therefore say that if I bad not made that speech, the price of wheat would breve sunk 4s. instead of Ys.. (Loud laughter and cheers.) The third charge 'meant me is that I rsoommended my friends at Aylesbury to cross their Downs with Cotswolds. What hays we beard against that proposition ? An immense deal of declamation, but no facts, no data, ever placed before you which should make you for • moment give any conclusive opinion. An boo. friend of mum who represents • sister county, who renerslly. when I have made some afterdiener remarks, follows me with some very grave observation—(a laugh)—has made some retinae* to the views which I offered upon that cc casiou. Mr. Walter, above all men that I know, has a happy art of making the mot oracular obssrvatioes in the most oracular ramose. (Laughter.) He bas doubts—grave double—of the justness of my observation, bat his cely answer is an d priori one. Everybody takes it for pasted that if the Downs of this county are crossed by a Cotswold ram, then immediately the meat will prove worse and in ferior. Bat has any one proved that. I have heard of gen dome, and I ,believe there are gentlemen in this room, who have tried the expertineet. I have been told be them that the result is very diffesset from that which I pro loaned without any proof whatever. If you cross • flock of South Downs with a Cotswold rem, the effect upon the meat is not p 4 an appreciable character, bet what is the effect upon the fleece! Why, suppose you get Is. mere for each fleece that you produce o ff it, emd your decks amoun t to 300; then, iu these days of agricultural demo !adoa described by my friend, you will find that at the end of the year a profit of Is. on 300 dome forms an item sot to be despised.

(ram' ova 13PICILL STOCKHOLM, Ssrr. 30. The trip to Gripsholm, to which I briefly alluded at the close of my letter yesterday, has been considered the best fete of the Prince's visit. The old red bricks of Gripaholm Castle are sacred to the memory of numberless strange deeds, done by Swedish kings and nobles in grim mediieval times. The place is not a ruin, but, on the con trary, a palace kept in constant repair and annually inhabited for some weeks or months by the royal family, but it is, above all things, a show place, • bourne for excursion parties, from which such travellers as they may return, although its hospitalities were not less final than those of the grave to some of the visitors taken to see it in the middle ages. The castle is about thirty or forty miles from Stockholm, on an island in the Mater lake, and you reach it by threading your way amongst other islands, countless in their numbers, and dark, pine-clad, shelving to the water's edge, in their appearance. The royal party left Stockholm yesterday morning about one o'clock, in a screw steamer called the Arboga, after the name of • place near here, situated, as a matter of course, on an island in the Midas lake. The Arboga is an or dinary lake boat, but on this occasion she had been fitted up for the day with an awning over the deck from stem to stern, and with chairs and couches on the poop-deck. At the bow was a flag-staff, to which two flip, the Dannebrog and the English ensign, were hung in loving union, while from an inclined staff in the stern waved the Swedish flag. There was a considerable crowd on the landing place to see the royal party sta't, and as the various personages who composed it came down one by one, the populace obtained a good look at each. The Queen was amongst the earliest of the arrivals, and Priuce Augustus was in good time. Prince Oscar had been visiting some ships in the harbour during the morning, and came down about half-past twelve at a rattling pace, evidently fearing he would be bite. Ten miuutes after wards a chariot and four brought down the Prince and Princess of Wales, and then came a phaeton, not a regular mail phaeton, but one in which the driving seat was higher and smaller than the other. It was a very simple and unpretending equipage, and for the moment I thought it was some private carriage which Sad followed the other by chance. To my surprise, however, I recognised Prince John of Glucksburg on the driving seat. "Look," I said to my companion, "at Prince John perched up beside the driver." I thought that the royal coach-houses might have provided another carriage for the Danish guest, if there bad not beau room for him inside ; but the arrangement became intelligible when I looked at the face of the driver and saw that it was his Majesty King Charles XV. of Sweden and Norway. He was not the man to spoil his day's. pleasure with bothersome ceremonials, and had come out in a tweed shooting coat and light coloured wide-awake. The Prince of Wales. , carriage stopped the way, so the King pulled up his horses and jumped down amongst the crowd, which was not kept back by a single policeman, though it voluntarily kept clear an avenue just wide enough for the carriages to pass. All hats came off, and everybody bowed to the King, who pulled off his wide-awake for a moment, and gave a friendly cheerful nod to his people as he slipped through the crowd to the gangway of the steamer, and went on board to see after the comfort of his guests. In a very few momenta he and the Prince of Wales were seen standing together on the poop close by the taffrail. The Prince had emancipated himself for the day from the tyranny of fashion, and wore a wide-awake as well as the King. The other gentlemen of the party wore hats, though of course they were in ordinary morning costume. As the boat got under weigh the baud began to play, and the crowd con verted itself into a sea of waving hats and hand kerchiefs from which some cheering proceeded, but it was too early in the morning for a noisy demon stration, and the Swedes are evidently accustomed to show their respect by their gestures rather than by means of their lungs. The day was splendid, sunny, and during the morning and afternoon positively warm, although we are beginning to feel now that this climate is more northerly than that of London. The voyage to Gripaholm took about three hours, for it was necessary to go round by Drottniugholm to pick up the Queen Dowager. I hear that there was nothing remarkable in oonnexion with her arrival on board, and that Gripsholm was reached about four. The castle is just on the water, so that the landing took place under the shadow of its old red walls, and the royal party spread itself at once about the various rooms and towers., and time-worn halls. Everybody wandered about as he pleased, and no sort of ceremony was observed. In one of the largest and handsomest of the rooms dinner was served at about 7 o'clock, and at 9 the steamer was announced. On coming outside, on to the place of embarkation, the royal party en joyed a pretty sight, for the old towers had been illuminated with red lights. The voyage back must have been a little chilly, to put the fact mild:y, for I know that in Stockholm during the even ing it was abominably cold ; but the residents here do not mind • little freshness in the air. The Arboga got back to town about eleven. And now I have to tell you of the must remarkable event which has yet distinguished the Prince of Wales's tour. What do you suppose the King, and Prince, and the gentlemen of the party did after returning to the palace 1 You will of course avoid guessing that they went to bed, because that would be the natural and obvious thing to do, and would not be in any way • remarkable proceeding. Did they " make a night of it r That would be an odd thing to do after so fatiguing • day ; but the thing they did was incalculably more extraordinary. After stopping at the palace about an hour they all drove down to the railway station, and got into a train bound for a forest in the interior of the country six hours' travelling from here. I said beforehand that the Prince of Wales would show himself able to keep up with the King in any amusements that might be proposed, and the event has justified my prediction ; but I certainly did not suppose that his majesty would start any scheme of plea sure which involved quite so reckless a disregard of fatigue as this hunting party. For of course the object of the journey was to have a good day's sport. The forest to which they have gone con tains elk, and it is hoped that the royal party will have found one, though it is not certain that they will have been successful, as the forest is twelve leagues in extent, and will naturally require a great deal of searching. They were to hunt all day, and return to-night, being back in Stockholm early to morrow morning. You will see from this speci men of his habits that I have not been wrong in describing the King of Sweden as a man of iron constitution and extraordinary muscular activity. To-day the Queen and the Princess of Wales have been driving atout a little, but nothing remarkable has taken place in town. The Aurora and Osborne have left here, as the Prince, according to present arrangements, intends to go by rail to Gottenburg on Monday, and embark there for Copenhagen. THE GREAT FLOOD AT SHEFFIELD. The Commissioners under the Sheffield Water Compasy's Inundation Act--Mesers. W. °versed, Q.C., J. Jobsoa Smith, and Mansfield Mills--held their first sitting at the Town-ball on Tuesday. The number of claims already met is Ii 3,500. There is still • period of three weeks thrift which claims ate be sent in, mid a considerable number of the largest claims have not yet been l l received. The claims brought before the commis salami yesterday were for small moue* the chief object of the sitting being to settle questions of practice and principle for future guidance. The main questions settled were these :—A large number of caterers' claims for compensation for lass of furniture and such damage have been sent in without particulars. An eider was made that io all smolt cases partridges meet be furnished within a fortnight, so that tie Water Company msy have an oppor tunity of @Lamle lag and testing the correctness of the claims. ' Distinct notice was given that if these wheelers ware Dot furnished in proper time the claim would thee be rejected, or amended at the cost of the claimants. The act of parlia ment requires the Water Company within a certain tame after receiving claims to give whoa Ia writing whether they admit or dissent from them, and to state the amount they ere prepared to offer in case they admit any part of the claims. A number of claimants have neglected to iota. mate their acceptance or non-acceptance of the amount offered by the Water Company. It was urged that unless such notice was given the Water Company might be put to great espouse in investigating the claims which it might turn out were not disputed. The commissioners therefore decided that claimants who did not within the preeeribed time intimate their ison-scomptabes of the amount offered by the Water Dompany should he held to have ac cepted such offer. A number of claims for leas of wages have already bees mad* by workmen employed at mace (Retched which were either destroyed or stopped for a time by the flood ; and it is understood that there were a vast number of such claims still to be emit in. The question was therefore raised whether working toes in regular employ ment were entitled to claim individually summit the Water Company. The occominiomen decided that all workmen so em, toyed that they could not be dismissed by their masters without notice, or wages in lieu of notice, must, whether day or plea hands, claim upon their employers for sys for each period as they were eatitled to notice, the entprees claiming epee the Water Company. The Water Company did sot dispute their liability for loss of work or wages ; the importenos of the decision lies in the fact that the company being liable for the casts a each substantiated claim, as aneemous sum will be saved by having them claims made by a few employers instead of a vast number of working men. Perhaps the question of meet public interest was that of the right or ether wimp of the mayor to claim epee the Water Company for the amounts advanced oat of the public subscriptions as compen sation for loss of furniture, goods, ke. It wee decided by the isnodation eommittee some time ago, to cell upon the Water Company to refund snob amounts as had hese paid in mitiga te° of &thee which would otherwise have been made upon them. In consequence of this decision a number of suf ferers have sent in claims to the Water Company, deduct ing the amount received from the public subecriptiom The tows clerk, however, stated that it was not the intantioa of the mayor to make any claim for sums advanced to per sons who were present to claim on their own behalf. Under these circumstance counsel for the claimants applied to the commissioners to permit the amendment of claims sent by striking out the deduction, in order that they might claim for the full amount. The argument put forward ea behalf of the claimants was that the pay. meet from the subscriptions was a mere loan, which the sufferers were bound to repay. The commissioners granted permission to strike out the deduction, the chairman, how ever, intimating that the claimants mast abide by the amendment whether for or against them; the commissioners could not allow them to amend • mooed time by reinserting the deducitiou if it should hereafter be decided that the eliminate were debarred from claiming for the amount they had received from the public subscription. On the face of it, the withdrawal of the CiDOIDI of the mayor seemed to the door for a large number of sufferers obtaining double payment, and thee refusing to recoup the amount received from the public subscription. We believe we are right, however, in saying that the mayor withdraws from prosecuting the chime transferred to him oe an understaod log with the professional gentlemen concerned that the claims on behalf of the public suSecriptions are to be handed over to bid), or the town clerk ea his behalf, at the time of payment by the Water Company.
