MA. Connate might have said there were but two ways of their obtaining this power, either by a revo lath" or by such paths and openings, however round about, as the constitnion afforded. Did the constitu tioa of none t.tich, demagogues would have some emus in aiming at revolution. But the constitu dos does efford these openiego. It givis the franchi.e to all possessed of land to the annual value of forty 'killings. There was no man, capable of political feast, or worthy to entertain it, who might not procure himself a vote in this way, ta. militated is it wee by the plan which the meeting = Tuesday was called to celebrate. What man, even the met conservative, could object to eves ' the lemb'est aiming at the elective franchise by the practice of economy and the at ainment of property f It is a ritool of virtue, preparatory to the prise of power. And for our part, our astonishment is, that several tines did not join, or affect to joie, in the Birmingham meting. Independent, indeed, cf all consideration of the trembles, or of political power, Mr. CoIIDIN pointed out one of those reforms indispensable to re. place our social system on a secure bans. This is, the ealargement and increase of the proprieties , " clam—the rep`acing by emu analogous body of sass I the yeomen that have disappeared from the soil of This would be attain. d by agriculturists joining is, or originating for themselves, a society of the kind recommeaded. Mr. Linnets and others alluded to the wish so general arnongeottleesOl:votersto al te themselves, and mum. in the constitation tbste l pendence which their means and position Audi entitle them to. The landlords have eonverted all the agricultural population under them Leto a marl sad dependent race. And the farmers have, we think, f mod out the truth, that for an entire dams to be dependent, is quorum* 'with that satire class being permanently robbed. The material suffering, the pemmiary distress, and dateline at any or of every parties of the indentions classes, are, however serious and galling, net mire so, pleb.ps, than the moral cause of di• content and die sdlietiea ia the same elem. And, indeed, if we hash this moment to our colonise, especial to Canada, the smoky whose late movement of disa ffection so oc- SON every mind, we shall there find moral causes qthadag, seen mote than material ones, to estrange a 'gelation ti the English race from England. 'The mealiest care=r is that the middle and indastri. ens elms in the colonies cannot bear to be ruled, and naked, and sacrificed by a mother country whose go weromer.t is aristocratically c msti rated, monopolising power, influence, and place, and wielding all in a !petit diametrically opposed to the habits and the tamest of an industrious and democratic society. But the democ•atio effects of industry are not mate felt in Montreal than in oar own indus trious &Arleta at home. Let it not be sup posed that we put forward theirs democratic readastias as opposed to monarchy or dan gerous to the throne. Quits the contrary. It be not o f th e sovereign that the industrious alums complain, but of a clique of persons with nothing wonderful to boast of either in extent of wealth or antiquity of elsocest, bat who make use of the pretence of aril,- totescy and breeding to exclude from power and infin.

It is against the dictation of this sham arletnerac7 that the colonies are rising. k d the people of England, we are glad to see, are taking eMbreat steps to do the same, bat to that legal, peace able, and constitutional •ashion which Mr. 9'ATLOI4 of Birmingham, has devised.

It is of li ttle use to fi x attention an ion the complaints or the actual miseries of AN peasantry of these mantis.. Nor is it of much Sams use teiesectnin one landed prwietor as caes ium arid indiilerent about the oontian of the cot- isles on Idatillite, or to cry up another as the lone- USN* WO* of commodious labourers' houses. Thadellideginiral causes in operation which iojuri• a y affeettlis rural labourers, and belong to the melded st the economical condition of the land. to investigate this subject requires discrimi satin, practical sequintanco with husbandry, and heist from prejudice on the part of the isgdrer. It is not enough to inspect the bumble and too often wretched dwellings of the fuming labourers, or to listen to their just, but some timesbMlM:O, oomplaints; the eusametances of their e the farmer, and the tams on which they farms, most of nesessity farm an es sential part of any useful inquiry into the state of the peasantry. And that again mast be followed oat by an examination of the state of the landed property and the, position of the landed proprietors of the loca lity. The social history of the dtetrict, so far as re lates to the labourers, must also be especially re garded. For instance, where are wages so low and the cot tages of the agricultural labourers so deficient and defective u in Wiltshire and Dorsetahire P Both these evils have been ceased. in a µrest measure, by the long prevalence of the allowance system, which was scarcely anywhere so universal or so injurious as in these two counties. For years low wages were paid, and an allowance made to married labourers for each of their children. The men with families, tape. ciallf 7 those with large families, we most constantly empallowances ed, at sums, wages, and together —of 3s. to lbs. a week, while single men, se good, perhaps better, workmen, could only obtain the pittance of 41., 35., or 6s. a week. Of course the result was, there were few unmarried labourers above twenty years of age in these districts. Before the alteration of the poor law, we recollect to have seen a mere boy come before the magistrates for an allowance as a married pauper ; his Other attended to "speak" for him, and sated that "he was nearly mini teen and had a wife and two children." Such improvident marriages, which formed the rule among the rural population of Wilts and Dorset, necessarily produced a redundant labour ing population. Wages thus became reduced, while the men themselves became listless and inert; for it is • notoi ions fact, that where such low wages prevail, labour is inv riably of an inferior quality. Before the allowance system commenced, the farming men were not only more regularly employed, but they were continually employed in piece work, by which, with extra exertion, they could earn additional wages. Neither have thi habits which the allowance system engendered been eradicated. The same cause which produced a redundancy of labourers, rendered the cottages deficient. At instead of cottages in creasing, they have actually decreased in all rural parishes where the land was possessed by • few owners. Landowners always pulled down cottages wherever it was poisible to do so to prevent libation gritting setilemrnre in the parish. The labourers were thus driven jet* villages, and into cottages held by small speculators in such property. Passing from the situation of the labourers, what is the position of farmers in the two counties we have referred ta? In both counties the farms are of two de•ariptions—the large hill and light land farms, cousin ng chiefly of tillage and down land, and the dairy farms, cowisting almost entire ly of grass land. On the d.iry farms very little labour is employed ; sad on the stable farms in three counties the system of cultivation, as compared with that of the eastern counties, is a low one. The farmers are fre quently opulent men, bat they hold great tracts of lend which would require the investment of very large capitals to cultivate in the best manner. They have never, in fact, departed much from the mode of farming, which answered well enough daring the high prices which prevailed during the war, bat which is decidedly pre carious, and often unprofitable at present. Treir matt m is to cultivate moderately well a large sur face ; and it is one which, of all others, affords least employment to the labourer& Net a few of the more intelligent IVilishire and Dorsetshin farmers are fully aware that a higher mode of farming would, in these times, be more profitable ; but to such a change there are two obstacles—first, the great size of the farms, which, under high culture, would require double or treble the capital at present employed; and,secoodly, the deficiency of farm buildings. It may be said, why do not the landlords improve the buildings and di minish the size of their fame ? The answer is, they have not the means. Their estates are settled in strict entail,and coosequently they cannot adopt the obvious and rational plan of selling a portion of the estate to furnish means fee the improvement of the remainder. Next, they are generally much mortgaged, and a mertgaga proprietor never improves. His margin of income is always too narrow to enable him to spare anything for adding to the fixed capital of his estate ; on the oratory, present income is usually all in all to him, so that h• would wirer throw two farms to gether, in order to save repairing two sets of build ings, than expend money in erecting new or improv ing the old farm-buildings on bis estate. Such are a few of the topics to which regard must be had, before one can come to anything like a fair estimate of the =t of Improving the condition of the rural o It is, however, a subject of vast impot ence, to which we shall have span occasion to advert mo:e is detail. MOTHS' INCENDIARY FIRE.—On saaday night, about 11 o'clock. • fire broke net in the barn of Mr. Wat. Nieman, of Mucky, star Newmarket. The villagers having retired to rest, it was with much difficulty that they were stowed, and the fames rapidly extended to a sart ledge, strawkonm, and (towhees', end also to a stack of geed clover, one of beatify, two of stover. end a large rick of etre*, ell of which Were destroyed.

His body was badly bruised, and it is believed that he lost his way and became bow. Every attention was shown to his remains, and mud sympathy was felt at his unhappy fate. One of the most striking changes which I have noticed with regard to our oommerce is the rapid in mese of sea stamen in oar eouttag trade. We sena, at last, to have formed pretty just conceptions of what an ocean steamer should be. And we now have sailing from this port to Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans, and Chores as fine reseals ast ever floated. Besides being good models and fast sailers, they are elegantly fitted up, and DO expense km been spared to make them ece venient. Their interiors are far more elegant than those of any other steamers afloat. I have the pleasure of an acquaintance with a French engineer recently come to the United States to pursue his he fusion. He was connected with the Paris and Stour burg Railway, and was educated with care by hie father, who was a colonel in the French army. He says that nothing struck him so forcibly on hie arrival in New York as our river steamers. Their size, their power, their speed, and their accommodations asto nished him. There is nothing like them, he says, in Europe. Some of these mule have private ;odours 'minuted with sleeping apartments, fitted with costly furniture, and far surpassing in elegance moat pri vate residences. The fare is quite moderate, and pt r sons of ordtnary means are their usual occupants. It cannot be denied that there is a general tendency to expensive habits in this country, which our steamers and hotels are calculated to strengthen. Indeed, hotel life is a favourite one here, since, for a comparatively small outlay, very beautiful apartments and sump tuous living are attainable. - - Our Oesiirt steamers are all adoptiog this style of decoration, and of catering for the accommodation of Emigration to this port continues. The following calculation and statement have been made in relation to this subject : Duriog the Ms years from April, 1844, to April, 1850, ow males that the minis for the remainder of the prsent year will be is a like ratio with the past, there will bane pulsed quarantine, at this port, the large number of 1,151,500 emisruits : Arrl4o9 from April,' 1644 to AprO, 1845 118,000 180,000 160,000 196,0r0 247,500 1649 to 0et.21, 1849 Oct. 21, 1849 to April 1830 (est'd) 123,409 AMERICUS. Total 1,151,600 It would be strange if the United States should be amse a great manufacturing &swell as an agricultural igloo. Yet such seems to be " its destiny." Our memberless waterfalls, our exhaustless coal bed., fur nish power equal to any demand, r,r any possibility of demand, for our manufactures. It is not in our sauce to resist these natural advantages. Should we ever enter into competition with England upon a very extensive scale, no one oin predict what will be the result. The balance of power, which our enormous increase of population, and our large products will inevitably bring westward, may change the poise of the great globe we inhabit. And even with the mete adjunct of emigrati x, and the conviction fast spreading over Europe that America is the only gauntry where men may live X comfort and tranquil lity, we are making a g:gantio stretch to national pre eminence. Is the day at hand when the glory of Eoeland shall pale before the effulgence of a western empire ? Let not the thought disturb any English man; for here, if it prove so, will he live spin in the language, laws, and manners of his own kin ; his blood will flow in the channels of his descendants, and his fame be for ever banded down to his poeternies. How deeply I regret tLe petty differences which oc casionally disturb our national friendships.. Let them pas away under the conviction that we are indeed bet one race—one family of men. Among the most stirring news of the day is the late of M. Melia% the Russian minister. This gen tians°, without much talent, yet with • great deal ef tact, has been for many years the representative of the czar in this country. He has always taken pains to assume a particularly friendly bearing towards the United States, and has managed to produce the im pression that his mister would always be ready to co operate with us in ease of a war with any European power. Indeed at one time, when the north-western boundary brought us to the verge of a rupture with England, it was understood at Washington that the Russian navy would be at our service to arry on the cenflict. M. Bodine was therefore quits a &meta with the administrations at Washington, and when he married a beautiful young woman of Georgetown, bb American tastes we re universally admitted. He lived hi very hand- ome style in the district of Columbia. Hie house when I last visited him, was filled with objects at virtu and an unusual quantity of gold and silver plate. Not long since he received a mandate from the Emperor to repair to St. Petersburg, and to bay with him his secretary, his reputed nephew, me the assurance that business of importance req uired the envoy's presence, and that promotion awaited the nephew in the army. It now appears that as soon u they reached their own country M. Bodieco was seized and sent off to Siberia, and the nephew was thrown into prison. The excuse of this procedure is said to be the emperor's displeasure at M. Bodisco's having accumulated a large fortune in this country, and invested in American securities, to the extent of 100,0001. sterling. This bas led 'the emperor to Sinslthat he was no longer a trustworthy envoy, e trat his interests would taint his diplomacy. The public feeling is mach aroused by this piece of in telligence. V. Nile perhaps the Raman automat might have very properly recalled him he has no excuse for an act of barbarism. This affair occurs at the very moment when we expect to see France and Eng land allied in the protection of Turkey, and the eon sequence is, that if our vanity has been heretofore flattered by the civilities of the Emperor, our disgust has succeeded to it so intensely, that we are in favour of your thrashing him just as much as you like. So we particularly beg Lord Palmerston to have no re luctance in doing so on our account. Adrian have been received from a party of over land emigrants on their way to California, that they have found on the Gila river indications of gold to a degree quite unsurpassed even on the Sacramento. This ides of gold on the Gila has been some time popular, and the re ports of occasional travellers have strengihenid it. For my part, I see no reason to doubt that the whole western slope of the mountains in North and South America, from Behring's Straits to those of Magellan, contain gold, more or less in quantity, as certain species of formations develop tremselves, in their own disorderly shapes, projected by volcanic action from their original conformity. I do not doubt that all the rivers and their alluvial@ i from California down to the is hmus, will betho roughly explored in the course of a few years, and this will be done by large bodies of men, separated into countless exploring parties. We can easily imagine what a state of things this will produce : California will be but an outpost of the great army of adventurers. TRADE WITH AFRICA.—The Liverpool Courier states that it Is is contemplation by some merobants in that lowa to form an African Company, with • capital of 100,0001., in 4.000 shares of SOL each. The following is from the programme " Deposit 10e. per share. Liablity to ex teed only to amount of %bares. No dividend to be made until • reserve fund of 60,0001. has been accumulated.

The eircanistncee, however, as stated by en of the witnesses, were highly honourable to Maignies, who, although a ousel violent temper, was highly esteemed in Kontargis for his generosity and probity. V he whiten In question nad bees requested by the father of the smile to call upon Malgaks, and threaten him, if he did not marry the girl, her father would kill him. The threat had no effect upon Maignies, but shortly afterwards the father himself saw Ids, and then he said—" I feel that yon have a right to deemed satisfaction for the seduction of your daughter, and this is what I propose. Arm yourself with a pistol. We will stand at twenty paces distance. You shall ire at me, and if you miss, instead of firing atgeu I will deemed the hand of your daughter in marriage. ' The father refused to avail himself of this offer, sad M his refuel ( Maignies declared that he would marrythe daughter, and he kept his word. This was is the yitl36. Maignies and his wile lived together in happi nem fbr some years. Vailleint was then an inhabitant of Montargis, and having shone occasion rendered some service to Manias, the latter became attached to him, received him with kindness at his hour, and from time to time lent him many , to the extent of 4,000 f. The return for this kisidages was the seduction of the wife. The adultery was discovered by the brother of the husband, who, alter declaring to the wife that If she did not abandon her criminal relations with Vaillemet he would apprise her husband, kept the motet for some time ; but being at length indiguant at seeing the saner from time to time applying to his biother fur pecuniary assistance, he told the latter what had occurred Magnin then interrogated the wife, who confessed her grime, and challerged Wilma, who promised to fight, but requested time to arrange hie affairs. This was granted, but Vaillemet left Montorgis, and for a long time Maignies could not lean where he had gone to. He thee addressed letters to the relatives and friends of Vaillemet, requesting his address, and declaring that, if he did not give him stv is faction in a duel, he would, if he discovered him, shoot him like a deg. Maignies was tried for these threatening lettere, but acquitted on a promise not to put his threat into ' , mention. His desire tot vengeance, however, indueed him to break his promise, and his stunk after the seducer was renewed. In June last he found him cut, and came to Paris. He ' again challenged Vaillemet, who again asked for time to arrange his affairs. Maignies consented, but at Montargis, the notary charged with the arrangement of the affair. of Vaillemet told him that they were not terminable, and Magaiez returned to Paris in August with Salmon, as alrea , /y stated. At the trial on Saturday Maignies expressed no compunction for what he had _one, but, on the contrary, said, that if condemned to death, he should still have the ' satisfaction of his own conscience. N It appeared that, after the committal of the attempt at murder is August, he wrote to liontargis to dnite that a black dress might be purchased for his wife, in which she could mourn her lover, that the pistol with which he had fired at Vaillemet should be given to his eldest son, as a mark that the honour of the family bad been avenged, and that over the door of his house should we placed the following inscription: " Matson conjugal* d- Idisignies, qui s'y frotte s'y pique." li.lrichaud movie an affecting defence for Maples, and thanked the consul for the prosecution for not alluding to extenuating circum stances. ills client, be said, was not a man for the bagne. femignies 'lammed, " Out, conduit:les-mot a la most. mats ne kites pas de moi no forget." In concluding the defence, M. Ltcheud, addressing his client, urged Lim to forgive his wife. Maigniez, much affected, said, " Y.s, gentlemen of the jury, I promise, whatever sour verdict =ley be, to for give my wife." Tee jury returned a verdict of acquittal in favour of both prisoners. On quitting the bar, when dis charged, Meignitz was surrounded by the witnesses from Mentargie, who had come torweird to give evidence to the excellence of his moral charecter, and warmly congratulated by them en his acquittal.

Alter being sworn, the jury proceeded to view the bony, as well as the place where it wee bound. The following evi dence was then heard :—George Piper stated that about a quarter pest 6 o'clock on Sue.day morning, be was fir , ing past the lock and saw a basket floa lag on the water, which he drew out, and found attached to it another basket, and some navigation tools. He gave information as thou as he could, sa be suspeceed some one had fallen into the we tr.— Benjamin Sharpe stated that shalt 11 o'clock he saw a cap fl .axing near toe lock, as well as some bread and meat ; thinking that some one had fallen in, he and three more commenced searching the river. One of them, named Riley, first felt the man, and witness polled him out with some grappling irons which he fech.d from his boat. The body WY removed to the Lock Tavern.

He bad been spend ing the afternoon, from fear to ten o'clock, at Mrs. Bharpe's, whim he and three others nod three, quarts of ale, for which deceased paid. He did not seem fresh; they were waiting for their wag. e. The jury returned a veroict of " le..ttod Drowned." The part where deceased fell in is etheedicgly dangerous, as it is dark on one side, and there is not the slightest protection against accidents of this nature occurring on a dark night. The jury appended to their verdicts, re commendation that this dangerous spot should be railed off, and better lighted.

NATIONAL SOCIETY . .BOB_ THE ABOLITION OF BURIALS IN TOWNS. Yesterday the above society met at their rooms, }MopesUeet, Blackfriars, Mr. G. A. Walker, preeldeut, in toe chair. A communication was received from Mr. Wilson (Brigh ton), which stated that he hatlald before government a plan for a national cemetery, to be placed under government supervision. Mr. ALEXANDER MARSHALL hoped that the society would keep clear of any eemeterial plan which was calculated ,1 t• enrich directors or shareholders. (Hear, hear.) Their object was net pecuniary, but national. The CHAIRMAN assured the meeting that he would not have anything to do, directly or indirectly, with any cane. tery eetablishtd for pecuniary profit. Hie sole aim was to protect the public heal'h by preserving the sanctity of the te.mb, which never could be effected until extramural burials became the law of the land. He regretted to find that with the subaidenes of cholera there seemed to be a general re laxation of preesutio-.s• ' a mat dangerous mistake, for no man knew but that this insidious epidemic might ere long re-anpear. Mr. MACKINNON, M.P., said that before the question of intramural burials came before the House of Commons, be was perticularly anxious to learn what the rieisty de manded ir.im the legialature. The present preveyard abominati4. s must be done away by an act of parliament. Tne question could be no longer delayed. The public feting wu with them, and they had the ball at their lett.' They should not betray weakness by the slightest concession, but should insist on two points, via., the total abolition of burying in cities or towns, and the cessation of interments uhder churches. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HA.MBER Nogg sted the propriety of the communi cations with the Board of Health and the H.nne-Secretary, together with answers of the latter to the society being read, which wesaccordiuslydotle. Mr. MACKINNON was almost glad that the Board of Health bad not the power to close the churchyards. That power should come directly (rum government, and the carry ing vat of their wishes should bt left with the parishes. He never went into a church where bodies were buried in vaults. Last Sunday the Bev. Dr. Cumming declared DORI the pulpit that no man who valued his health should Irsquent a church where that abomination was continued. Mr. BOXER—There war under the church of St. Georges, Southwark, heaps of bodice, whose sal...tiers were only waiting an opportunity to remove them. But it was quite different with the poorer classes, who had not the means to remove ir deceased relatives, and would be in oens ol if their remains were disturbed. He was convinced that with few exceptions err, ry inh‘bitant cf the seven parishes in that Borough would rote for the abolition of intra mural burial. Mr. ALEXANDER MARSHALL said that the vaults under St. George's, Bloomsbury, were poisoning the inhabi tants near them. Aff sp.ct,o3le tradesman told him that fur he lest 12 years he lived on the verge of the church, and that during that period neither he nor his faintly had a day's health. Tne rector, whose house was close to the church, was comp. lied to remove to one of the square , ; and yet that gentleman wee assisting the rector of St. Giles's to perpetuate interments in that churchyard, which was surrounded by human dwellings. The Board ef Health and their inspector were sadly imposed upon by churchyard agents. For three days before Dr. Milroy visited St. Giles's cemetery men were engaged clearing the ground, se that when he arrived there was but one grave open. But in two days afterwards he (Mr. II visited the place and found two pits and nine grayss open. Mr. BOX BR complained that in addition to the fees paid in the cemeteries, the rs otor charged seven shillings for every body rerun,• d from S. George's parish. Mr. HADIBEB—If the proposed measure fur abolishing intramural burials once received the sanction of act of par liament, cemetery sites and modee of transit would be wily and cheaply secured Mr. MACKINNON wished to know from their worthy president whether it would not be dangerous to remove the immense quantity of human remains in the metropolitan churchyards ? The CHAIRMAN sold that the removal of human re mains frem churchyard' would not be dangerous during the cold weather. He himself had removed from Enon chapel four up-hesped large VS= of human bones without the slightest injury to health. Aud although many thousands of bodies had been buried there, only one solitary inquiry was made by a survivor about her relatives' remains, which in hie opinion proved that the public would not be dia ea I sed if the metropslitan graveyards and church vaults were cleared out. (Hear, hear ) Thanks having been given to the chairman, the meeting adjourned. IMPROVED METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY.— A preliminary meeting of parochial officers and other repre sentatives el metropolitan parishes took plus yesterday evening in the vestry room of St. George the Martyr, South wark, for the purpose of adopting measures of co-operation relating to the water supply of the metropolis. Edward Collinson, Eaq., chairman of the board of guardians, took the chair. The meting had been convened by circular addressed by the vestry clerk to the churchwardens of the different metropolitan parishes, and consisted of officers from the pa rishes of St. Pancras, Kensington, St. Luk., St. George the Martyr, Southwark, Lambeth, Poplar, St. Glue, Bromley, and several other parishes. The business having been opened by the chairman, an interesting discussion took place oa the importance of co-operation in or ter to scone the important objects in vie ; and a series of resolutions were unanimously pared, setting forth th e defective state of the present supply of water to the whole of the metropolis end inviting the authorities in each pariah to co-operate in forming an independent association of represen tatives from their bodies, to be called The Parochial Water Supply Association," is order to counteract the powerful opposition of parties having vested interests in the existing water companies, and with • view to obtain, ae speadtly as possible, an abundant supply of pure water to the whole of the metropolis. It was pro- posed that the association should wants of one represent.. live from each of the principal metropolitan parishes or boards, each representative being a parochial officer or other competent person, te be elected in vestry by the rate-payers. The association will undertake to examine and invite ex planation of, and objections to, all schemes that may be brought before parliament for improving the existing detect ; and it was d termined that the Parochial Water Supply Association should avoid being identified with any other association pinmeted by interested parties, having peculiar views of their own for meeting the public requirements. The resolutions were directed to be duly, advertised, and I the meeting was adjourned for a month, to the 11th Decem- I her next, in order to ascertain the views of the vestries in such metropolitan pariah on the subject. ACCIDENTAL FIRE NEAR LINCOLN.—An exten sive fire took place on the Potter Manworth Fen Farm of Mr. ftcholey, on Tuesday evening last. The whole of the produce of the farm, comprising 11 or 12 stack., besides the farming implements, cuts, waggons, Ac., and some stacks of last year's ovum, were totally destroyed . The troafisua. lion originated in the silly indrastion of an Irishman who has for some time been employed up in the farm. About twenty firs minutes to saves, he and a boy took • candle and leathern into the waftg to-shed, for the perms of catching sparrows The man took the candle out, and the boy re marking that if the foreman saw him he would "catch it," went off to his horses. Very soon atterwards tt • Itishman ran to the stable and told the lad that the shed was in flames. Tne fire spread with the greatest rapidity, and in five minutes the yard, containing stacks of wheat, oats, and barley, was in • blue. The wind blew a strong gide, width* fire reared like a furnace. Assistance soon arrived from all quitters of the neighbourhood, and many parties went for miles over hedge and ditch to the scene of the conflagration The Norton engino was promptly at hand, but all attempt to save the stacks, sheds, &a., was fu ile. The farm build ings and .'odder were saved. The Irishman says that the candle find his neekoloto, and that in his endeavour to ex tinguish the blase it fell on the floor and set some straw on fire.

There were many other ways, guden•grand,fir instance, in which the land could be prop. rly empLyed. Mr. SMITH (Sheffield) said there were many wap is which the freehold might be realised. It might be raked by letting it at a chief rent; or it might be disposed of Co a building club, or it might be used as garden ground. After on, or two observations, Mr. TAYLOR said that he did not think there wu ay foundation for the complaints of the Coventry pups. if appeared that they bad etrchascd for 191.. what was went 601.

Mr. COBDEN hoped that the remarks made by Mt.

Any ass of fraud or malversation at the present moment would do it manse harm to the movement.

In concluding our narration of this conference, it is prefe_, to mention, ae a proof of the interest taken in its praiser,. logs, that although the news agents, Messrs.
