Beek a decl sra•ion Austria did not give, tad could not give, far such • declaration would have been equivalent to its entire separation from Germany, and the disiolution of the Germanic confederation. Consequently the oral delibera tion on this question remained —assuredly tbmgh no fault of Bavaria—without results, and Prussia indented its determination to reasw the interchange of diplomatic notes. Germany tb Wm. at this raiment, has so longer an effi. mint metro of *Mien ; for Prussia no longer recognise. the authority of the central power, and hoc the substituti of a new one in It. place dependent upon impossible coneli• boas.

Notwithstanding the confident thenrances of ane ems pot forth by Mr. Freettfleld, the conservative candidate, he was, on Tanday morning, now est isteentsse. His part. fag address states that " the conservatives m a party, are as suited as ever, and that the protectioalea is both political parties are as sailed as ever in their hostility to modern free-trade principles;" but still Mr. Freshfield, though the only protectionist candidate in the field (both Capt. Pelham aid Mr. Wire being free traders) abandon the contest, and leaves the grazed to the whig nominee, to whom he transfers his lamest, and to Mr. Wire the popular candidate. Our correspondent elates that the radical party are extremely tooled at what they regard as a coalition between the oesservatives and whip. On Monday evening the rupective committees of Captain Pelham eni Mr. Frost field met, and the understanding was arms to, that if the conservatives would withdraw their candidate, and leave the field dear for Captain Pelham, the whims, at the vacancy which is expected soon to man will help to support Mr. Freshfield at the next tingle *koala. Too Nomutaviox was flied for 10 o'clock yesterday (Wedneedin ). The hotlines were the balcony in front of the Town Hall. Ceptain Pelham was attended by the prin cipal gentlemen in the *big and cocfervative interests ; and Mr. Wire by the more liberal gentlemen of the place. G. Hag , solicitor, of Berton, proposed Mr. Wire, whom he described es • man of the people, connected with the people, and said that all his efforts in the Howie of Commons would be direct. d, not for this or that particular class, but for the benefit of the people at large. Mr. Wire is for the ballot ; Captain Pel ham opposes the ballot. (Cheers. ) Mr. smith then entered into a history of the way . . whi• h the terries had previously carried their elections to Boston and said such miserable .election practices have been an Limit, an abomination, and therefore require the ballet, that every man may vote according to his ens ience, without fear or favour from any. Mr. Wire would give them the ballot, and a chance of displacing him in three years, if he did net attend to his duties or r 0 their interests. But what did Captain Pelham say 1 " I'd go in and stay as long u I can." He trusted the present nominee of a noble house would not be tolerated, If men came under the old Nee colours, they ought to advne ite old blue principles. He begged to propose David William Ver,re, Esq., es a fit and proper person to repretwit the borough of Boston in parliament. Mr. SLATER, • town couucillor, pomaded the nomina tion of Mr. Wire. Dories this time speeches hod also been made on the tight side of the hustings, Mr. W. ()Lorin, banker, had penpneed Captain Hadley Anderson Pelham, and Mr. W. itansom, also • banker, had seconded the nomination in dumb show, se.reely • thole syllable being heard by those below. Caren PELHAM then addressed the meeting, but was heard only by those interediately aver him. He sail he never recollected the mention when a Pelham was ashamed to show himself, and if there were • bucilred candidates in the field they would not pr-sent him supper ing the prin ciples he espoused, nor birder his going to the poll. If City returned him to the House of Commons he would not legis late for the benefit of any p articular clue, but for the com munity at large, and he would always support measures cal culated to be beneficial to the body of the people, regardless of elan interests. Mr. WIRE said his honourable opnenent claimed to Tepee seat them on several gr. oils. Ile was • member of a family of influence and t e net property in the county. Against him aid against his family he had not one word to say. He believed that in times past they had done g ood service to the cease of the people; but now, if the battle wee to be won by fair and honest means, let those when canoe was weak retort to dirty means to ensure their triumph. The great question at issue between them was wbethcr the House of Commons was to be really • place for the representatives of this people or whither it was to be the mere appendage to the House eif lends. and • place for the hangers-on of the aristocracy. There was much in common between the Hon. Captain and himself is pru.ciple. They both desired to rifurra all abuse in church and state. They were both for retrenchment sod economy ; but there were some essential and impntant differene,s. His hen. opponent wee anion the ballot. He was for it. He desired to progress with the events of the time, his woo:lent wished to stand stid. He rested his claims on the monad that he wu one of the people, his oppt nest came there as the brother and the son or an eat), • member of an afistowanc family. lie th,ught the House of C immons aught to consist of members sent by the people to represent the intermix of the people; but his opponent evidently thought that the House of Commons was a mere place f r I the hangers-on, the connexions, and the dependents of the •rutocrry. And, to secure the defeat of the people's candi d de. all t •it lineage of a great and noble family, including bribery, intimidation, and corruption, had been brousht to bear against him, to detest his election. But (said Mr. Wire) they shall not deteat it. I believe sub is the spirit of the electors of Boston that they will permit no scion of a noble family, however great may have been the services rendered to the cause of the people by that family in times past, to come here to rob the people of the privilege of sending one of the people to the Commons House of Parliament. The MAYOR then presented himself, and was received with groans. The show of hands was called for. About one.filth were held up for Captain Pellism ; the four Attie held up their hands for Mr. Wire with tremendous applause. Votes of thank' were proposed to the Ma' .r in dumb show. A poll was demanded for Captain Pelham. arch parties were &slimly award in canvassing all the afternoon. The government are using their inflames openly on behalf of Captain Pelham.

There are three methods of housing attention of Mom gentlemen who were practically acquainted fattening cattle, to which he would now direct attention. with the subject to a point which seemed to ham to be one The first is the stalefeedingzsi t em, the prevalent method of much importance, viz., the temperature at which they in England ; second, box-f , of late introduction in ought to be fed, as in the discussion so far that point had Norfolk and Ceminideeshire ; led, feeding in •heltared been left untouched.

It has been found by practical men that this perspiring Mate, which was believed by practical men to it is almost impossible to consume large quantities of straw be favourable; and therefore there must be same point at where animals are fed in stalls. The second topic is that of which the temperature would conduce to a more =expensive hex feeding, which originated in Norfolk, and is practised mode of feeding. M the fens of Cantbridgesbire, and, in a limited manner, in Mr. MAW said the temperature would vary according to Mime part of Yorkshire. By this method cattle are fed in the condition of the beast. If they put an animal into en Wig buildings, in two rows of stall or boxes, with a gang- open shed, and it VMS thoroughly well fed and attended to, 1 way running down the centre, by which means food is which was very difficult to accomplish, it would be in a state Ineught to the animals. The boxes are 10 fat by 8 feet of perspiration. But they might put it into the warmest 6 inches in width, and the gangway is 4 feet 6 inches wide. shed they had, and, if it were not well fed and attended to, 'The width of the building externally is 26 feet 6 inches, 90 it would tot perspire. The fact of the animal perspiriog that fur ten beasts there would be required an area of was a sure sign that the animal was doing well ; and it did 1,170 superficial feet.

The usual dinner given by the society at the elms of the proceedings took place at three o'clock to-day, the Earl of Cazusur, the president of the moiety, in the chair. The dinner was served up in the new hall of the Stock Eachange- Aloioa-strem, which was tastefully decorated for the occa sion. As the speeches have not yet commenced, a report of them must be deferred uatil to-morrow. BRITISH ARCILEOLOOICAL SOCIETY. CHErtgit, TUUDAT. The members of this congress assembled in the °misty hall to-day. The chair was taken by the Bishop of CHNATIII, supported by Lord de Tabley and Sir Edward Walker, mayor of the city. The right rev. prelate, in opening the proceedings, stated that on the previous evening it had been his pleasing duty to welcome, on the part of the inhabit/gas of Cheater, the arrival ot Lord Albert Conyogham and the members of the British Atehmalogical Association ; be t ad now, however, to discharge a more painful task. He bad to inform the meeting that Lord Albert had that morning received • letter announcing the dangerous illness ,of hie uncle, land ot whose recovery it was feared no hope remained. His lordship had, therefore, been obliged to leave for Loudon ' that morning. The lord bishop then introduced the more immediate business of the meeting, and calied upon Mr. W. H Black, assistant-keeper of her Majesty's records, to deliver his lecture. Mr. BLACK then commenced a lecture " On the Public Rec.-..rde of the Palatinate of Chester." He rioted that the rolls for the counties of Fiint and Chester had been received from the custody of Mr. Lloyd, and those belonging to the Exchequer from Mr. 'lumbermen. These records com mencer in the IdA Edward 1., but he regretted to say that the records concerning the old Earls of Chester were not in exi.tence. Of the old North Wiles records, two were found partly cut into tailor's meg:tires, a tailor having picked them up on the banks of the Mend Straits. He next adverted to the courts of •he justices of Cocotte, and the manner in which they were held, together with their purposes, observing that by a statute 33 Henry VIII., the sheriff of Chester was em powered to hold courts in the shire hall far plaints under 40s. Having advert( d to the mode of procedure in I the courts of law with respect to parties charged with I murder, Mr. Black next proceeded to describe the method of drawing indictments fur that crime in former days, and to compare it with the formula used at present. He observed ' that in those days a party charging another with murder " must strictly prove his charge, otherwise it was the law that he should be committed far having put in a bad plea. He showed that in the year of 34 It Edward 1., Warren de Grosvenor was indicted f. r basing shot Sir R chard Pulford, at Budworth, with a string and long bow and arrow.
