CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN BRITISH INDIA. Tram use Deity Molt.] The importance of rendering this country leas de pendant owe America for cotton is too °below to sued any elucidation. The uneertainties attaching to the realisation of a sing' , crop in a single country, and the possibility of the suppties of cotton from the United States being stopped alto gether by the accident of • wu, point is the necessity of such timely meuures being taken as will obviate the disasters which such events must otherwise occasion. In ercportion al our supplies of cottun are derived from many sources, in stead of almost exclusirtly from one, so will the hazards of a oottoa famine from a failure of a crop be diminished ; but to obviate • cessation of the supply from the outbreak of war, it appears to be indis,mmeable that the main soarer of supply should be our own colonies. India :how ever, is the rely country under British rule pmeseed at once stef a boilable chaste and the requisite ;population, to enable each quantities ef cotton to be raised as will effectually re 114re our dependence on America in this gnat article of im port. "it becomes, therefore, &latest • policy of neceaity, to dire,t our views and labours chiefly to British India for a supply of the article which, to the United Kingdom, is the lust in; ortant next to that of food; which, in act, mon thin any other article, has enabled a great portion of the people to pay for food." It is needless to dwell open mash considerations, and the great outs , int which now proposes itself for asluiitn is, how can an abandent supply of goal and cheap cotton grown to India be stewed t In resolving this inquiry it is ne cessary that rithareoce should be had to the c imparative powers of India and America, in the production of good cotton at a sheep rite, sines it appears quite plain that, it India is incapable of producing good cotton as cheaply as America, our dependence on America must still continue; sal it is likewise plain that if we remain depenteet on Amorists for mitten, the whole fabric of our cotton RMS• future'reete on sufferance merely. Neither India net at, other country will undertake this growth of cotton foe the Beelish market upon the chance of occasionally obtaining remunerative urine when there happens to Do • short crop is the I:s.ited States, nor will any one, on the strength of such intermittent inducements, be solicitous to raise that kind of cotton most suitable for English use, or to obtain the mschinesty emissary for its effectual pu ri fication. It is only in those localities where • regular demand ousts at remunerative prices that such ex pedients of improvement can be brought to a use ful me.utity, and aa a general rule, that country wh.ch gives the cheapest cotton will also give tits cleanest cad bast. We an, therefore, at the outset reduced to the interresateey, earn India produce es good and as cheap cotton as the United States? sine' upon this condition the whole question dour disenthralment from dependence on America exchaiittly rests. In lockt.ta to the eisesaistances which regulate the out of ettten delivered in this country, we shall find that Ame n a anti India each possess peculiar facilities for cheap pr Auction ; bet in the c.c. of America, the most impor tant of these facilities is the gift of art; and these facili ties, if extended to India, will at ones create • balance of cheques in favour of that country. In both countries the climate and the soil may be taken as squally eligible ; but is Alarm labour is dear, whereas in India it is cheaper than in any other country in the world. The freights, in deed, from India me somewhat more expensive than the freights from the United States, but this diflcreace of ex- Press home but a small proportion of the total cast of cotton &limed in this country ; and, eves when allowed for, leaves a large balance in favour of India, which would ea. toaly tele • nom America the command of the cotton market —provided only that the cotton when grown csuld find a ready 'moping to the pert of shipment. It is here, however, that Leda lah airs under disalventages which give America an uncontrolled supremacy. While by the steamers on the Mississippi, and its tributaries, the produce of the whole of the interior regions of America is transported cheaply and expeditiously to New Orleans, to be thers put on board the ships which carry it to this Country, the cotton of the Deccan has to be carried on bullock: backs a dinette* of three or four hundred miles, before it can be shipped at Bombay. The expense of this male of conveyance is greater than the total cost of the cotton at the plus at which it is produced; and as cotton does not grow promiscuously over India, but thrives only in certain localities, the most eligible probably of which is the heir: of the Deccan, now so difficult of approach, it is quite clear that the Improvement of the means of internal tom metrication in India, must precede any increase in the sup. ply of eaten, from that country. The scat of cotton at Berar and Hyderabad in the Dinars Is aline lid. per lb., and this cotton, in its present unimproved condition, is suiabie in q uality for about 60 per cent. of cur ma nufacture,. These districts at present supply only about 31 per cent. of our total consumption, and even this supp 4 is liable to interruption from epidemics among the cattle, and the premature setting in of the monsoon rains ; but they could easily supply 60 per cook of our total oon eumpti-n, it the means o f USollOrt were suitably anielio mad.

The ignorance of the writer laths Iffinsa is u evident as his malice, but it is to be repridled that a latent cause for the late out break in Cephalonia, in which I beg to assure you none of the people of the other islands participial even by thought, may be found in the fact that Yr.

If he doss se, be does it with regret I cannot doubt, but, at the same time, much allowance must be made for the disappointment of a people who find the re ward of 30 yew, peaceful exertions for constitutional snatched from them afresh at the very mo ment of fruition. The barbarous outrages of the turbulent sailors of Cephalonia I must, in common with all lonians, re pudiate and regret, but I fear in this as in many other instances of popular outbreak, it is not the manner so much as the cause of this violence that demands our indignation. In conclusion. I may be permitted to remark, that it seems to be the present policy of the Times to re verse the Roman maxim, " Parcere subjectis et de bellare superbos." Their animosity to weak nation alities *a been too apparent during the late struggles in Europe; nor can: we feel much aggrieved that a journal, which in the very face of admiring Europe has ventured to vilify thi Hungarians, should stoop to slander the lonians, who have hitherto done nothing but submit and suffer, or remonstra'e, as their emstitution required, through the very Lords High Commissioners of whose policy they had °ma rkedly reason to complain.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS AND ''THE TIMES NEWSPAPER. TO TOT TIMOR 07 TIT =TIM. Bta,—ln these times of cholera and distress, I should not have ventured to trouble you on the matter of a community so little cared for in Loudon as the lonian Islands, did not the Throes, on the 17th of this month, avail itself of a potty outbreak in Cephalonia, confined to 200 riotous sailors, out of a population of 80,000 in that island alone, to libel and calumniate the whole of my countrymen in the most unjustifiable terms. I have lived 28 years in this country, and have seen and heard of many local outrages during mylong residence, but never remember that the na tional character was charged with the fanati cism of Thom and his followers in Kent, or that the Eaglish were pronounced rebels because of Mr. Frost's outbreak in Monmouthshire. The Theses decline us to be a people who "com bine Italian crime with Greek cunning; strangers to public virtue and private honesty; remarkable for strong passions, dark superstitions, ignorance and len ness;" and that we have been "bandied about from Italian to Turk, and Turk to Russian;" finishing the picture by declaring that the "upper class of my countrymen are parasites, and the lower classes have been thieves and pirates for 600 years, to whom as sassination is an every day octurrenos," &c., &c. I will restrain the indignation merited by such en infamous string of calumnies, and merely assure ou, l Mr. Editor, that every lonian, or foreigner resident in those islands, must observe with ridicule so mon strously false a statement, which, if any part of it were true, could only reflect a double discredit on Great Britain, under whose go vernment eeu and protec tion those islands have for now mealy one generation, thirty-four years having elapsed sine the treaty of Paris. But the real feel ing and condition of the lonians are known to thousands of your countrymen. During thirty years we have supported a garrison of several thousand British troops, changed regiment by regiment about once ire every four years, and, were those islands the hell upon earth depicted by the Times, and their natives the fiends in human shape described in its column, could they so long have been re gardedthe most desirable of all foreign stations ett as the heal hful recreation of your soldiers, and the peaceful retirement of your statesmen ? But I fearlessly defy the writer in the Times to give me a single exempla of the many crimes which he has charged on the lonians. Where is the Corfiote Grommets? The Cephalonian Rush? The Ithaion Burke? Of crimes against the person and the pocket, the lonians are alike ignorant. Robbery and house breaking are unknown in the islands, nor is the last resort of vengeance ever heard cf, except in those rare instances in which even in this, and all civilised countries, private honour, outraged] beyond the com pensation or patience of the laws, bursts into passion, and seeks its own satisfaction in a fatal revenge. The Times tale of pirates, let him quote one single instance of piracy in the lonian Islandme. Surely the writer, in his ignorance, must; mistake the lonian sea, the coast of Asia Minor, for the lonian Islands on the coast of Europe. The population of the whole islands is little more than 200,000, sad they are everywhere an example of mildness and resignation, of agricultural happiness and rural content, with the exception of a portion of Cephalonia, which being as it were the Wapping, or seafaring part of our islands, in which every , man, oven in the mountain villages, is a sailor, has afforded lately a nucleus for turbuleoce and the abrupt mani festation of disaffection, should any exist. That such diaaffictioa sprang up under the despotic rule of Sir Howard Douglas, bat disappeared under Lord Seaton's paternal goverment, is well known to her Majesty's ministers. That such disaffection has re-commenced, and is increasing at the reported an nulling of the liberal acts of his administration by his successor, it is also impossible to deny. For the last twenty years the enlightened portions of the lonians have been peacefully and constitution ally endeavouring to obtain the more liberal institu tions guaranteed to them by the original constitution which formed the basis of the protection of Great Britain. These endeavours have been always un successful, but during Sir Howard Douglas's High Commissionership were responded to by contumely, outrage, and a vituperation, of which I imagine I can trace a much exaggerated refiexion in the article of the Times. In corroboration of this, I may refer you to the papers on the lonian Islands, published by order of the House of Commons, June 22, 1840, where will be found the Promemoria of the venerable Mustoxids, the libellous despatch of Sir Howard Douglas, ia the reply of Lord John Russell, where he enumerated the demands of the lonians, and fairly states their case es follows : Yet I cannot omit to observe that I should yield with much regret to the conviction that the time is still unripe for conceding to the lonian people, to at least soma mats% the advantages of nester freedom of the press, and amen complete system of representation. It would not be to the honour of this country to bare occupied the lonian States for so many years without having advanced the inhabitants towards roest qualification for institutions awn liberal than those which were granted to them, avowedly as a mere pre. petition for such a change. It would be painful to acquiesce in the belief, that in a country placed under the immediate protection of her Majesty the Queen, the government an tumble to confide with gaiety to the people at large the pri vilege of more freely dimming their own social interests than they are at protest enabled to do. Neither could it be otherwise than painful to consider that Great Britain is c Impelled to withhold a more full participation of her own litical freedom from a people to whom she looks for • Page mania:" contribution towards the maintenance et one of the most important of her torsi's garrisons. This was written ten years since. It has been may within the last year 'that Lord Seaton, the retiring Lord High Commissioner, expressed the intention of conceding more liberal institutions and allowed liberty of the press. For it is a fact that up to that period there had been for 30 years only one penile, press in Corfu for all the islands, where only the government Gazette was printed, and that no other newspaper whatsoever was allowed in the islands. What books or pamphlets were ventured upon by the lonians were sent to Venios or to Malta to be printed. Nevertheless, in spite of these notorious facts, the I Times, atter falling into the egregious error of saying, that the lonian were subjected to the Turkel, goes ants say, " Before we had extended to them civil rights eel ample as those they have recently enjoyed, we gavel them unlimited freedom of the press. A free presets I Corfu and Cephalonia was very like what it would have been in Connaught under Cromwell, or what it would be among the lesaroni of Naples in our own day. It was given to a people who bad never known freedom of opinion or expression, who bad been disciplined by corruption, coercion, and fear ; whose religion was superstition, whose sentiments were undisguised passions, and whose only law was the stiletto. thus given, it became an additional weapon in the hands of party hatred or personal spite. Such uit was, it was used most freely against ths power by which it bad been bestowed. The little education that was in the islands was devoted to libelling the British authority and name. This went on fur years and years goring all which time Eoglaad was building schools, repairing roads, erecting bridges, hospitals, &c., among these malig nant little states." This bavardage of the Times is put before the world, although there never was any free press or even press at all in the islands until within the lest twelve months ! Comment on such statements is unnecessary ; but in justice to my countrymen thus maligned, I may be allowed to quote an extract from e letter addressed by me to Sir Howard Douglas in 1842, and distri buted top allul the ministers at the time and many mem bers himmt.

Mr. EVELYN than stood forward to address the elector. He said—Weetors of West Surrey, allow me in the flat pees to express ay deep sense of obligation at the honour &z have conferred upon me in electing me our ferments (Chess.) Oa the day of the nomination I stated what were my political opinions, but whether carried away by my feelings upon that occasion I do not know, I omitted to give my opinion upon some important guineas, and if you will allow me, I will do to on the present occasion. Before I do en, however, I will just say a word or two upon the subject of free trade; and In the first plan I deny most positively both for myself and for these who set with me, that we consider cheap bread to be a ems and dear breed a blessiug—our opinion is quite the reverse. (Cheers.) What I understand by protection, is fair play and fair oompetitien , —(cheers)--and I do say that the present system of free trade is unfair play and unfair competition. That system also tends, at least it was its object to dose, to mfairly rase the manufacturing population at the expense of the agricul tural population. (Neer, bear.) Sir J. Graham compared the system of free trade to a capital, but I say that it Is a column leaning on one side, and it shall be my endeavour to set it straight and make its proportions fair and septa. I milder it most untair that burdens should be met upon the agriculturists from which the suandeas WIN are entirely exempt (Cheers.) I have often seam et the measures of relief to which they are entitled, and is stel be my earnest endeavour to assist them, and also to ob- Soill a general reduction in the taxation and the buriese WWI press upon their industry. I will now say a few weeds with regard to the church. In the first place, I will tall you that I am attached to the church of England, and I think that to destroy it would be a great loss to the country, sad I think so enscially when I Taint upon the labour of the working clergy, a body of men so sellidenyieg and so kind to the poor. I wish, however, that the church should assert her independence, and I am glad to no open the question of situ:anon, she resisted all interferen ce the state. (Cheers.) I think the church ought not to lean upon the government :or support, but that it should trust to its ewe internal resourees, and to the affection of the peoole. I will now proceed to consider that subject which I know is considered by all of so math import ance namely a reduction in the expenditure of the country ; I and will tell you that lam sincerely Winer of reductiin. (Cheers.) I did not state positively the other day that Id d not think there should be any reduction in the army and navy. What I did say then I repeat new, that I think it is a subject very proper to be considered by the government ; but 1 think that those services must be maintained in a state of efficiency, and if they are not it would be the worst economy in the world. (Hear, hear. I am in favour of all practicable redactioss, sad in my judgment the opinions expressed by Mr. Demented upon this subject are well worthy consideration. There is another im portaat question, the government of the colonies, and what I as going to say upon this subject is opposed to the liberal principle of ceatraliaation. In my opinion the colo nies ought to enjoy a greater power of se government and ought to be allowed more power to manage their own affairs, and it this were the ease, I do not think we should hear of • couple of millions being expended on such an impolitic pro ceeding as the Kaffir war. (Hear, hear.) You will, I trust, see, gentlemen, that although I am a conservative, 1 am not in favour of any existing abuses. If I were, I should not be a conservative, for I am aware that the only way to maintain our institutions is to improve ante amend them, when altered circumstances render it ne cessary to be done. The people of Eugland are not a mere body of men and women. They form a great society—their institutions are the framework of that society, and without them the society would speedily be re. eared into its original elements. lam not one of throes who think that the church is in any danger. I have too high an opinion of the enlightenment of the people and their good sense, and I believe they are too well aware of the value of their church to render any alarm far the stability of the church necessary to be telt. The clays of darkness and of supersti tion were atone dangerous to the church, but in these times I have no tear. (Hear, bear.) Gentlemen, I an, happy to be enabled to state that this election has been earned on most fairly, and I cannot help feeling that you hays achiev.d a great triumph. Very strong elements of intinence have been made use of by my opponents, but I assure you that I have not endeavoured to make use of any extraneous influence, but have relied entirely upon the generous ealistehee of my triends, and upon the good faith, honesty, and independ ence of the men of West Sum y. (Cheers.) I had another disadvantage to contend with In this election. The gentle man who opposed me was a man of station in the county, older, and hi tier known than I was. Still, however, these difficulties have been overcome sad you have, by returning me as your representative, exp ressed your determination net to strengthen the hands of the present whig government. (Cheat.) You may depend that I shall not support the whig party. I have a respect for the party professing extreme liberal opinions, because, although I believe that the schemes they propose are fraught with the utmost danger to the country, I believe they are sin cere ; but as for the whip, is there a man pre sent who can say that the whip oligarchy ever eared for the people t (Great cheering.) lam pleased to know that fa this struggle I have not only been supported by the conger vatives, als rby a large body of liberal eh cton, who Ern- WWII the utmost distatisfact'on at the conduct of the pre sent government, and who are determined to obtain protec tion for the agricultural interest. (Cheers) So far as lam myself concerned, I tell you that I have no cendenoe in the present government, and they shall not have my support ; and I believe that if a party were to some forward who would *age themselves to economy and retrenchment, and protection to agriculture, the great body of the people of this country would rely round them and give them their support. (Cheers.) I will conclude, gen tlemen. I go into parliament independent of any party, but an opponent of the present government; and I do assure you that no man ever went into parliament with a firmer determination than I have to perform my duty. (Great cheerier.) H. DRUMMOND, Esq., hl P., proposed a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff for the manner in which he had con ducted the huoineu of the election. Mr. EVELYN seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Three hearty cheers were then given for the Queen, and the proceedings of the election terminated.

In tits view of its proceedings, apart from every other, it is to be hoped that the anticipations of "Brett, House, and Widmer's Electric Telegraph Com pany" may be realised, and that the temporary diradvan- Sages under which so important an invention has hitherto laboured, may be more than counterbalanced by the impetus now about to be riven It.

Anson, of her Majesty's suite, intimating that the Queen and the members of the Royal family would leave Perth at eight o'clock on Thursday morning, by special train on the Scottish Central Railway, and might be expected to arrive in Edinburgh about ten o'c:oe.k. It was added that it was not her Majesty's intention to leave the royal carriage while in Edinburgh, and that, consequently, her stay in the metropolis would be limited to the change of engine.—Daily Mail of Tuesday.

Hubert Barnes Rye was objected toby . Mr. Brown, on the ground of misieseription of the premises in respec t of which the qualification was sought to be established. It appeased that the claimant had occupied premises at No. 80, Old Broad-street, in the pariah of Bt. Benet Fink, up to Michaelmas last, whet he removed to No. 77 in the same street, bat still continued to be rated for No. 80. Mr. Barra said the ease was analogous to that of " Cook r. Lucke ,tt " where the Court of Common Fleas held the claim to be _good, although it appeered that the party wee rated for No. 4, (laden lane, and that the premises he occupied were at No. 3. He contended that the mistake in the present sue was precisely similar, and might be rectified under the authority of the 75th section of the Reform Act. Mr. M'Chauiren said there weea distinction between the two cases. la the present case there was no mistake, but an omission through negligence. The claimant had occupied the brim No. 80, and snowed his name to be entered for three seettssiee rates in respect of that occupation, after removing to Nc. 77. The name must therefore be ek punted. Objection sustained. INSDEFICIENCT Or OCCCELTION. Charles Ashdown claims d in in respect of a shop at 17. Finch-lane. It appeared that the premises (a shop and par lour) occupied by the claimant were situated on the ground floor ; the entrance to those premises was by a trent door, communicating with the shop, and there was also a side door opening into a common passage, which wee under the con trol of the landlady, who lived in the home. When the claimant left the premises at night ha fastened the shop door by a bolt across the inside, and passed out .by the side door into the passage, end thence by the common door into the el rest. Upon these facts Mr. Brown contended that the claimant did not possess a legal qualification. The fact of his cicsiog the shop-door by a bolt inside did not prove th at he had such a control over t he premises as would be sufficient to give him a right to vote. The premises mold not be said to he in his exclusive occupation, considering that the common door was under the control of the landlady. Mr. SMITH, en the other ban d, submitted that the claim ant, by clotting his ehop-door from the inside for his own con venience, did not in any way give up his right of entrance, and that, therefore, the shop in respect of which he claimed was such an occupation as the law contemplated. Mr. M`Cnaurrin said there wee no ground for the objec tion. The same point had already been decided during the present registration, and he regretted that the time of the court should have been so unnecessarily occupied. Mr. Ashdown said he had given the fullest explanation of the facts to the objecting party, and he had been brrught here at great inconvenience to himself, and detriment to his business, which he was obliged to leave under the con trol of others. He therefore begged that the court would allow hi:amts. Mr. /Mumma awarded him 20s. The revision of the list for Broad street Ward wee not con cluded when the court rose. STRANGE DISCOVERY IN THE LONDON DOCKS. — Os Wodneeday a remarkable discovery was made in the London Docks, whereby the body of a man was found in a cask which had been in one of the warshouees about flys years. It appears that for several days put a number of I man have hoes engaged in removing • quantity of spirit casks in the Szabo department of the London Darks, and whilst one of the labourers was rolling t cask along the stone., ha had hit attention drawn to a rattling noise inside. Hs mentioned the cianunstanco to one of his companion., and they determined on opening the oak to ascertain the canoe ed the mysterious sound. The head of the cask was accordingly removed, and, to their groat astonishment, they discovered the skeleton of • human being, in a good state cf preservation, and from the condition of the bones the do. ouaed must have use* in the cask many years. A medical be was v e to sae the remains, which were found to be those of rs about 35 years of age. The general supposition is that the cask in question must have been unshipped from some foreign vessel. It was a ram cask, and had been empty a considerable period. The de mama is supposed to hays been a foreign sailor. It is a sin gular fad , that the whole of the teeth are entirely gams, and no vestige of clothing could be found.

POST-OFFICE CHANGES. Much excitement pre- veiled in the General rost.offim yesterday, in consequence of its having been announced that in about a fortnight's time the mails would be despatched from thence on Sun days, the same as on other nights. It appears that for some time put, mails for London have been despatched from the country offices on Saturdays, the same as on other days, so that all letters' posted for London on that day, have been detained in London on Sundays, Inc teed of iu the country. Very shortly these letters will be despatched from London on Sunday nights, instead of on Monday mornings. This arrangement it is understood will be adopted so as to deliver letters from foreign mails, arriving at Southampton on Saturday', in the principal manufacturing towns in the North of England on Monday morning, at the same time that such letters are delivered in London, and so obviate the principal objection to Southampton being still continued a mail, packet station. FINANCIAL AND PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. — Manna° AT KIDDZEIMINSTER.—A meeting of persons desirous of forming themselves into a Financial Lod Parlia mrstary Reform Association, was held at Kidderminster on Monday evening. About 250 persons were present. H Brin ton, sea., Esq , took the chair, and was supported by Mmes. D. W. Goodwin, Showmen', Wri,hr, Batchelor, Cumming, Worth, W. G. Hopkins, Slater, Perk",.Cole, &o. Burry, solicitor, and secretary pro tem., read the rules which had been agreed to at a pralimins7 meeting, several communications from the National Society, in one of which they not only approved of them, but say they shall form the model for the numerous societies that are now forming; and in another, that when the Kidder =Meter Society thought matters were in readiness, they would send a deputation to Kidderminster. The rules were unanimously passed. Tle Chairman then eulogised the Mos and objects of the society; tneught they did well to extend their views to the municipal government of the town, which he described as bound hand and toot to the triumphal car of torylsm and bigotry. The great weight of taxation bound the bands of private charity behind its back, paralysed the small capitalist, and deprived in Kidderminster alone 2,000 householders of the municipal privileges to which they were justly entitled. The enrolling et members 'ben commenced and went on at a rapid rate till nearly ten o'c!ock, At a , public meeting, be held in a month, the whole number of 1 to . members, amount of subscriptions, plans for the tatnre, &a, will be annouswed.—Worcestcrsh•re Chronicle. SEWAGE MANURE EXPERIMENTS. Yesterday at a general court of the Metropolitan Commission of Severs, Mr. LESLIE moved, "That the reports and papers on the sewage manure experiments be oonaidared, and that such steps be taken as the result of the inquiry may render neces sary." He said that with reference to this motion be held in his hand a statement of Mr. Donaldson's, by which it appeared that there had been expended in these experiments 76W. 12s. ld. but deducting the value of the instruments used, and which might be used again, the sett expense was 4721. lls. Gd. It appeared that these experiments had been carried on in • field of seven acres one rood • poleone and a half, to that tict;expess 14 the experiments was considerably more than the value of the fee simple. (A laugh.) It also appeared that the return they might expect was fitteen shillings from General Clitheroe, at HanwelL The only thing he saw apprepriate in them was, that they had been tamed on round the lunatic uylume. He did not seethe necerity of these experiments, as the value of sewage manure had been known to the world these 200 years. But if this were all he might be resigned, but it appeared that the committee were about to start on another and more expensive cruise. They were in communication through Mr. Donald son with Mr. Tower, of Weald Hall, in Essex, that gentle man having about 600 acres to be manared at an elevation of about 420 feet above the Trinity highwater mark. Mr. Do naldson had, by order of the committee, prepared an estimate and statement, from which it appeared that in obedience to orders from the committee, he had waited on Mr. Tower, and with that gentleman visited the lands of South Weald, near Brentwood, end found them to be exceedingly ergible for the proposed irrigation. It was mostly a dry light sandy soil, presenting cornicterable undulations on its surface. Some of the lower lying lards were rather a heavy clay, and bad been formerly rather wet. The distance from town to Weald-hall was about 161 miles, and the medium altitude of the lead was about 420 feet above Trinity high-water level. To convey sewage sufficient for these 600 acres, • pipe seven inches in diameter would be sufficient, and • force of about 520 feet pressure would be required. Brentwood and its vicinity lasing about the highest land in the county, it would be easy to send the sewage from that point u far as Ipswich and Colzhatar, the way brine all down hill. Thu would, therefore, be the means of supplying other land, as well es the estate of Weald-hall. A steam-engine of 50 horse power would be required. The buildings necessary were estimated at 3,2001., and 161 miles of cast iron pipe, at 6801. per mile, would be 9,2701., being together 12,4701., before commencing the works. A survey of the ground and the pipes would be required with accurate levt:s. The preferable mode of eupply would be by means of a tank or reservoir (which by the way was not in the estimate) placed en an elevated spot, from which the occu pier could distribute the sewage over his lend at will. It appeared, further, that the overflow of all this sswege was to go into the river Crouch. He expected that they would soon have a petition from the oysters, who would most usefully be poisoned by tho sewage. (Laughter.) He submitted that the time of their officers, and the fiances of the ratepayers, should not be wasted in such theoretical and visionary schemes. He thought that they should be con tented with draiaing London, without devising such plans to drain the pockets of the inhabitants. Mr. BANFIELD objected to the consideration of this report, which had not as yet been presented to the com mittee. The CHAIRMAN recommended the speaker to take a note of what Mr. Leslie said, and =ewer him. It nimbi save time. In answer to Mr. Loam!, Mr. DONALDSON acid that he had made the estimates in obedience to the directions of the sewage committee. Mr. LESLIE said that this was not all, for so far back as June last the commissioners advertised to supply with sewage land in the nsighbourhoosi of Newmarket, the contractor to take 250 tone at each irrigation, and to have 18 irrigations in the year : at this rote they proposed to supply 15,000 acres. They had made this tier although they had no pipes laid, and knew that they could not construct any without the au thority of an act of parliament. He thought it was quite time to stop such absurdity, the more especially as he had the authority of Mr. Baker, of Writtle, and Mr. Tramper, for saying that the sewage manure, when tried, had not pro duced any beneficial result on the crop. He (Mr. Leslie) did not mean to deny the advantages of sewage manure, but why net try it en it had been tried, suoamsfully tried, in t►e neighbourhood of Edinburgh ? They should remember that their accounts must be submitted to an auditor ap pointed by the Secretary of State, and that if they con sented to extrava gan t expenditure they would receive no more money than had bee' awarded to King Hudson's co , directors. Mr. BANFIELD seconded the minim, being anxious, as one of the sewage committee, that the matter should be fully investigated. He complained that My. Leslie had rested his CAM on a document which had never been before the committee. This estimate had cost nothing but coach. hire, which tho committee had paid out of their own pockets, and had been ordered merely for information. lie did not complain of the committee being called on for amounts, but he did complain of things dose being mixed up with things which hod not been done at all. Mr. Donaldson'a estimate had been very useful, and he had also prepared maps which would be available to the farmers. Mr. STONE moved as an amendment to Mr. Leslie's motion, that the sewage committee be requested to con tinue their labours. The expense of the experiments would not be one 22nd part of a farthing in the pound on each ratepayer. This amendment was, after isms further obser vations, carried by a large majority, the only dimentients being Mr. Leslie and Mr. Banfield. Some liitellnioll arose as to the propriety of reading a letter which tdr. Gotta had addressed to the board in answer to what ho considered to be an attack on his professional capabilities by :Ir. Austin. It was finally arranged that the matter atould be !nought forward when the West minster drainage came under cocsidoretion. The court then broke up. VALE OF EVESHAM AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of this esmiation took place at Evesbam this day (Wednesday.) The weather was fine. and there was in coneequrace a good attendance. The ex ' hibition of stock w. s quite equ'il, if not superior, to that ex hibited last year ; and a fine bull exhibited by Mr. Bay rand, of Kingley, by the beauty and symmetry of its form, won the admiration of the parties present, and deservedly oin ai ned the first prize. There was also a good show of dairy fat cows, and heifers. Among the sheep we noticed some particularly fine Cotswold rams, es also some very good of the Leicester breed. Indeed, so nearly equal were the latter rams in quality and form, that the judge bad, at first, some difficulty as to whom ho should award the prize given by General Lygon, M.P. ; eventually, however, it was awarded to Mr. John Ashmore. The whole of the sheep in Clara 9, the cress-bred or short-horn ewes, were commended, but the sheep in general were of very various breeds and quality. There was a good number of horses of hoe quality, particularly those calculated for agricultural purposes. The pigs also were, as usual, ex ceedingly good, and somewhat puzzlcd the judge as to which was the best entitled to the prize. One fat pig exhibits dby Lord Northwick was of an enormous size. Mr. Blozidre, of Warwick, officiated as judge of the live stock. The exhibi tion of roots, although not large in quantity, was excessively flee in quality, and some enormous cabbages, grown by Mr. J. Woodward, attracted great attention. There was also a good show of mangold wurzels, turnips, &c. • number of agricultural implements were on the ground, but we or:nerved nothing of a particularly novel character. Mr. J. Ashwin and Mr. Robert Long were the judges of roots and imple ments. The ploughing took place is the morning I. a field at Cbadbury, the property of Mr. C. Randell, Mr. John Kind, of Dumbleton, acting as judge. There were very kw spec tators present. The ploughing we. very well performed, the land being in excellent order.—Berrow's Worcater Journal. MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SO. CIZTY.—The annual show of live stock, agricultural imple ments, &c., was held yesterday, in the North Haymarket, Liverpool. Some excellent stallions were shown, hut the most attractive feature of the show was the collecthn of agricultural implements, the display, which was varied and extensive, including some unique specimens of mechanical ingenuity. The affair terminated with a public chimer in the evening,under the presidency of Lord de Tabley. EXTENSIVE BURGLARY AT WORCESTER. Early on Tuesday morning the shop of Mr. Gwynn, pawnbroker, of High.e.reet, was broken into and robbed to a serious ex tent, among the articles stolen being 21 silver watches, 14 gold ditto, with an immense number of silver spoons and forks, five cases of rings, and a multitude of other article.. The till had been opened, but the little silver left in it was untouched. By the side of tho shop is a passage, leading from the street to some tenements at the rear of the pre tares, and which passage is used in common by the tenants. The ehop is divided from the passage by nothing but a lath and player partition, in which the thieves had made a small opering, just large enough to admit a little boy, and the prin cipal agent of the robbery must therefore have been very juve nile in y( an. On examining the adjoining premises,indications were found on the walls sufficient to lead to the belief that the thieves must have entered the large open passage at Mies Bosley's house, perhaps early in the preceding evening, .got over the wall, and remained in the empty house adjoining. Bare they could have watched in safety till they had ascer tained that all the members of Mr. Owynn's family were gone to bed. The robbery was then committed and the thieves escaped by forcing the lock of the front door of the pamege. Mr. Gwynn himself was out at a party, and did not arrive home till about one o'clock, when everything ap peared safe. The loss is estimated at between 2uol. and 3001. Several persons are in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery. MtLL ACCIDE'T.—An aezident, attended with im mediate death, occurred at the Gorn Nines, in the parish of Llanidioes, on Friday last. The unfortunate individual's name war Evan Mantle. On the following day en inquest was held upon the body, when it appeared in evidence that the deceased wan engaged to feed • mill connected with the mine, and that it was part of his duty to occasionally oil a certain part of the mill wheel, and, whilst ro engaged, his smock frock became entangled in the cogs of the wheel. On finding himself fast, he immediately called to a boy who had ' been working with bins to run and turn off the water which prowlled the wheel. The poor fellow's exclamation was, " Turn the water off, or I shall be dead in a minute." The ' order was promptly obeyed, but n until thw convolutions of the wheel had so far mutilated his body as to cause instant d ea th. The pranice of oiling a mill w hilst in motion, where there is any danger attending it, was highly censured by the i Coroner ; but it appeared that in this case, if common caution had best, observed, ouch a frightful occurrent* might We been avoided.
