" To the Chairman and Menton el the Eastern Counties Railway. " Gentlemen,—From the various salesmen= which appear daily in the public papers I feel it due, both to yen and to myself, to explais, as concisely as I au, the several then= stances connected with the sotto' gives to me by the ergieusen and fl• emus in your service, on the atteranen of Monday, the 12th Instant, to resign their situations on the taming et Sunday, the 186 inst. The reason they weighed for or doing in the memorial they pre vented you on the same day mu the afloat fines which had been Imposed upon them by me. You ars fully aware that, in conducting an establishment of this character and =scuttled', the ' , nett= discipline b necessary to enure safety to the travelling public as well as economy to the ntereholden; it is with great regret I siacompelled to say that, in taking charge of this department of your refway, a few weeks ago, I found the discipline throughout the wtel. estest in a very unsatisfa..oll state. Snag moot de-irons to effect the changes which were neceseery as cret tly as I could, and only gradually to introduces the same system on this railway as prevails throughout all other leadior rsilways, I in every eau imposat sorb fines only or lined act rather as a +arcing ler tt e future than as • owlish. , merit for the offence. I deny molt emp'laticialbr that, in any sew, has a fi ne been imposed for any failure of en engine, which a practical man would say was beyond the common este and co' trot of those in charge. I with also to state that the other fines were imposed for not report ing, and one cues in particular, when, in conse quence t f the eccentric shifting, the train had to he ti ken a distance of fire Main by horses Tines also have bun imposed for arriving at etations with roods tutu as periods varying from one hour to half an hour before the appointed tine, thereby enchaining their con as well as the manly of all ether trains travelling over the same part of the line. I state distiuctly that I never had any intention to radon wages or to increase the day's work of any man. On receiving the in:truetions of the hr ard, in cues• quit c• of the reeignation of the men, I immediately for k menseres to re plate them by good and efficient drivers, and I am hippy to say that, with the kind assistance received from otner railways, by yesterday morning I had engaged 77 engine d • whose terimoniale from their late employers will bear the closest inquiry. I shall lay them befit you to-mon w. On Sourday evening all the trains running north of Cambridge wen worked by new men, and sines yes easy morning the whole of the trains have been so worked Knowing that the lines as well se the engizes were strange to those nue. I felt it necessary to give in. crunicies to each to use the greatest metier, to study safety before spec', and not to attempt to regain lost time, and thereby to incur any risk. Thera have Men several trains a good deal behind time, but these have in every use arisen from tricks having been played with the engine., which could not easily be de tected until they had travelled tome distance, viz., sand mized with tl'at ideas" in the eels bozo., oil and other in jurious matter put into the water tanks, and each other chimes as those only who know their effect would do. At Norwich a slight collision took place in =whit= out of the etatioa by two er g•nes coming trgsther, and causing a very trifling injury. This is an occurrent* not by any means pecivier to new hands. S far as the safe conduct of tee trains by the new men goes, I hays every reason to believe that they ere quite competent for the duties they have to perform, and had they not been subject to smelt malicious tricks as those before ensintioned, I have no doubt whatever but that the trains would have continued as psoeneally as =fire the change we, made. The pr-eatrion which has been taken of plating the =spew tors of permanent way, and the head guard of each train upon the 'ovine to point ant to the driver the venoms at itione, junctions, and Winds, has worked ezondingty well. The number of men who have been segued will be emi nent to work all thou trains which have been supsabd, and all those men not now aetuall employed in working +sine are travelling over the various lines et tie conapsay, that they may become thoroughly acquainted with them. I have, therefore, so doubt but that on Monday nez: the whole of these trains may be resumed if you as desire it.— I have the honour to he, ate., J. V. Ottecm." ' In conclusion, it must be obvious to the shareholders that the demands made by the men were such es, both on public grounds and for their interests. could not bsoompbed with.

He cincluded by &Sodium/ to the probability of forming an meta logical section of the Blanchester Literary and Poilosuphiul Society, adducing in support of this cpinton the many papers on this subject which had been read by members of that society at varorus periods. and called upon Arthur Ashpitel, for es address, which he was announced to deliver. " On the Architecture and His my of the Mimeses/or Cathedral " ARTHUR ASHPITEL, E^q , F.S.A., said: It wee often the case with cities as with individu‘ls—and he was sure It had in some degree been so here—that as a town had advanced in prosperity to the degree of cue of the chief cities of Europe, the pest should be forgotten In the excitement of the present; and the afore he hoped it would not he otntidered that he was travelling Prow what he ought to do if he reminded them that this &ty was by no means a new or upstart town, and that this very Manchester was one of the very oldest towns in the country—that it existed in the time of the Britons—and that it was one of the Roman " castes," which gave it Its termination of " easter," whieh ought to be • proud title of distinetioo by all towns which pos-essed it. Prom that time to the present it had gone on incr- ming etesdily in im portance till it had become the wonoer we now saw it. Pre vious of coarse to the N• rman c request very much of our matter respecting its hilltAiTy must be conjectural. They were aware of the 'minable work of Dr. Whittaker on the Roman remains found in this neighbourhood, sod _ theref re he thought it would be moat desirable to coofias himself to the ecclesiastical porion of its history. DAD., day Book mentioned two churches in Manchester-8e Ma rirs and elt. Michael's—the former situated In Castle acre, anw called Guile-field, and the other near Aldisort-street. When the Conqueror came to Eng.sod he granted all the land between the Ribble and the Mersey to R ger de Polo tin. The first time we found the church of Manchester mentioned wu in 1150, when the first lord of Manchester, Albert Greeley, gave four borate or °sasses of head to the " church of Manchester." In several of the charters of thee period we found the clergy of Maneoester mentioned under the name of deans. In the days of Pope Nieholea again we found another short swim et Maaches• ter, in which It was stated that the church there was rated at 631 6e. Bd. per annum, and that the ecclesiastical revenue was about 731 per annum, which was a considerable sum it must be remembered in those days. The Greeley family becoming extinct, their possessions poised by marriage to the family if De 1 Ware, and in 1313 we fiad el.e first baron of Manchester of that tame. About this tine whet was tilled the boron's " hull " or bold, was built at the corfloenee of the Irk and Irwell, exactly on the spot where the Chetham Colege now stood, and, as in *dillies to these two streams, it was pretty certain that there was another small rivulet where Hanging Ditch (thus forming a natural fieutication on three sides) cow steeds, it must have been a very excel er t spot km such a building in those troublous tress. At this peeled a very great change was taking plane very firradually through. out England—that change which bad led to the results their president had alluded to: it was about the time when we first began seriously to think of turning the sword into the shuttle. The marriage of Edward the Third with Philippa of Hammitt led to oonstierable interoonne between this country and the Flamingo, who were then superior to any nation is the western portion of Europe in the seta and science. Fuller said, in his quaint way, " Happy the yeoman's hoses into which one of these Dutchmen did enter, bringing indus:ry and wealth alocg with them. finch ho cams in strangers within doors, soon ate, were out bridegrooms, end returned sons-in-law—having married the dacghtent of their landlords who first entertained them. Yea, these yeomen In whose houses they barbered POOll preceded gentlemen gaining great estates to themselves. and arms and worship with the estates." (Applause.) At this period, too, an other great change was slowly and gradually working ; the sciences were slowly coming to us from the cut—the Ara bians having established their universities in Spain. Not only was education increasing, lent an investigation was pro ceeding tato many of those mitten which had before bee. little attended to in this part of the world ; and the first light of the Refornatlon thorned under Wickliffe, who was patro nised by the first Duke of Lancaster in Me day. As he attacked the monastic system another system sprung up, which, as it broke down the old system of monks, esta blished what are Galled secular canons, who more resembled our present cathedral clergy. Mr. Aebplfel then, at some length, recounted the history of the eommeneement and progrsu if Manchester Catbird, and, in conclusion, said that if these obeervadeas of his could awaken any feedbag assugst the local antiquaries to inverigre points which had bidterto escaped attention he should be moat amply repaid for any labour be had bestowed on the subject today. (Loud applause. JOHN OWEN, Eeq ., banded in an old charter, confirm tag Mr. Ashpitel's views respecting the ancient deans of Manchester having been made witnesses to various charters et the period. GEORGE GODWIN, Esq., called at'ention to the dila pidated and dangerous state of the tower of the cathedral ; which was confirmed by Mr. Dixon. A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Ashpitel ; and the meeting was then adjourned till the evening. RIOT AND MURDER IN A COLLIRRY VILLAUR. On fittudity 'boat midnight $ fatal tray took piece at Rebhan, • gallery village, about three miles from South inholds. Near to Hebburn is • she,, walled Hatt bura Quay. where vessels are repaired.

Last evening the late drivers and firemen of this eorhpenr met at the usual plat Mr. HOPE, the Ghanian, said : Fellow-workmen. Rue the meeting of last n;ght, our attention time been ailed to as advertisement from the directors sr the Buten Condos Railway, which is said to be published " To provost misapprehmesioo by the public as to the pod don of the engine drivers and firemen lately is the employ ment of U. Entern Counties Ra.lway Company." The directors, after mistime that they reserve the exprenien of their epinion on the subject anal Thunday ant, when they are to meat the @berth , proceed to lave their " statement of facts." They tint allude to the appoiontreat of Mr. J. V. Oooeh, the locomotive superintendent of this railway oa the fled of last mouth, and then proceed to state that on Mon day, the 12 b instant, a deputation from the engine driven sad fin men desired to as seine of the directors, and was' received by Mr. Ellis, when they presented a memorial complaining of Mr. (bosh, sad Mach a ..ncluded by stating that they had unanimously determined to leave on the 18th of Alger, unless Mr. Gooch was removed from being their loannotsve anperiatendent of the line. The advertisement further states that the board had no knowledge of any dis agreement eliding between the driven and lir Ooccb, and that the driven had neither complained individually nor col lectively. sod that this was the fret Wised= they had gives. NJW if this statement were suffered to go forth un explained, an inference very prejudici 1 to oar waded sad interests might not unreasonably be drawn, but every short ffi ezplaselon will suce to set the matter in its true light. !immediately urn Mr. Gooch's a. pointment, he proceeded without any previous intimatios, to levy fines under the sir euntetanc^s we have already explained, and the reason why we did not wooer appeal to the beard was, that Mr. Clooth directed that say complaint should be nude directly to him ,. lf, and prohibited our complaining to any other party on pain of instant dismissal. Not, tin-refute, until the last mo ment did we make any appeal to the board, when we found all than :et of rano from Mr. Gooch was hopeless. This, therefore, accounts for oar delaying until the 12th inst. the sending a deputation to the board. Having made this ex planation for the purpose of showing that oar conduct was not influenced by any fitful or momentary reefing, we most minim:ly admit that Mr. Ellie expressed lineal( kindly to. wards us, but did not seem to believe, as we thiright, that we had any just cause of complaint. We thanked him, bat did not, as the advertisement states, express ourselves satis fied, and ear resignatio, s were soon afterwards ant in, as we found that Mr. Gooch wee resolved in pursuing the un just system if fines of which we bad unanimously com plained, and which we as unanimously felt to he so oppres sive. It is with meet that I hear a report km been circu lated to the effect that the old drivers had put soft soap in the tender of one of the eagisee, so as to impede its safe working under the reeently employed engine driver. As you are aware the only engine that is stated to have received the soft soap was one from Colchester, at which station the ad engine driver received from the locomotive ikons* &written stemma that he lad left his engirt* in good working order. Hating stab this statistic, I will now proceed to report Erioguto Brernto. At 8 o'clock the nrentheno7;lleassociation re-assembled in the theatre of the lieehanke Institate. The attendance of ladies all well MI gentlemen was numerous. JAMBI Her- WOOD, E.g., M.P.. presided. T. J. PETTIGREW, Esq., P.R.S., P.E.A. (vice-presi dent), having been called upon, rote and delivered • very able address on the study of archnalrgy, and the particular objects of the Bridals robe,A logical Institution. In the course of his remark., which were frequently interrupted by the loudest applause, he said the penult of the trite antiquary demanded a knowledge and exercise of various attainments. To render hie labours effective, he must possess ao little ao. guanines with heraldry, with genealogy, with various lan guages ha which iserigtlons were to be found, either on monu ments is Mmammeripts, with history in general, and particu lar num= asd sernome, and a variety of other attainments, seazes es be expected to be found combined in one in& ails& Hells the benefit of inch associations as the present, whets mesas of diff,rent knowledge and attainments com bined together to elucidate the events and memorials of past ogee. The present time was peculiarly favourable for anOgenriss research ; for from the spread of attunes, there had boss orassed and fostered admire to protect and preserve that whisk was likely to throw light upon any subjects of in ier than to wilfully destroy them. The great ' •= ei nf s tether and clubs existing in el•fferent parts of the empire satisfactorily proved the desire there was for anti quarian research. It was the province of the antiquary to collect, assort, and connect together the ruins particulars he might find scatterod either in the pages of history or in his month for antfgaitiss, so as to elucidate each other, and bring them into ono general system.

Dwaine. Avatar 20. No acoonnts have yet reached town of the effect produced on the crops by the boisterous weather of the last few days ; but the reports in general are far from hill so gloomy as they have bean. The Cork Exam ner assures as on the authority of most trast worthy persons, that in the south the potato has not yet been materially demand, that the tuber is gene. rally safe, and that the yield is so abundant that there I Will be more than suelcaent left in any ease for human' seasumption. This description of the present prospects of the potato harvest so frequently mass us from almost every quarter, that one mast rank from placing some confidence iu it, and that more gloomy aceoants which occasional erase re the result of individual cues. The Evening Moil gives the following account of the prospects of the harvest generally, from a correspondent on whom we ve assured we may rely : Pint, then, m regards the poor iter'serop—the potato. Treeless be se doubt that the disease has attacked this plant *suasively, and had the weather proved ler favour able, or that the crop bad bun a late one, my own opinion is elm nearly the total destruction of it would have been the Malt, gar there is se locality when you do not find the pleat attacked ; while, Is some qa..rta re the malks and leaves ex hibit the same appearance precisely u in those years when tie disease existed is Its most virulent form. Fortunately, however, the wester has been peculiarly favourable; sad while there has bra sufficient moisture to swell the tuber, there also he. bees sufficient eunehre to girls It. Renee, though se I holey., rated, the leaves ere ourami and the stalks blackened every where, I did not see a disesesel tuber in some hundreds of samples which I ea seined ; end the peasantry, prone generally, ea you see aware, to wird the alarm note for sight ruses, admit steely that the crop is abundant, sad that they hate as yet aeon very few shamed tubers. In portions of Limerick and Tipperary, I have no doubt a very considerable proportion of the crop will be lost. The stalk Is eomplately diseased, and the smell from the fields exceedingly ye- I have not been in Harry, but I her heard from authority . on which I can place the utmost reliance, that a lure por tion of the Wrote are perfsetly rotten. The quantity planted throughout the reentry has, however, been unusually large; the yield has been far beyond the average of former years, tad I have no hesitation in saying that present appearances justify the hope that we shall have au abundant supply of potatoes of the best quality. 01 the cereals, wheat alone appears to have reappointed the hopes of the busbandmen. I believe that we shall not have above half an average crop. and much, even of this, will prove of inferior quality. Some varieties of the tad wheat appear to have escaped blight, however; and Where such la the ease, the crop will be heavy and of good quality. The loss will, on the whole, I fear, Se considera ble, as the quantity *own was large. 0 its and barley everywhere good, and fast opproachiag to maturity. Indeed, the sickle is in requisition in all directions; and If the pre sent favorable weather shall continue, nearly the whsle of the wheat crop, am wee:l as • large pertion of the oats, will be secured within telt days. Of the green eroo it is itnpcs• sible to speak too favourably—lt could not be better; and I was gratified to heresies tree eulivation of turnip*, tar ots, end marigold wuverl appears to be much better con ducted, understood, sad also more geaerel thin in precious years. I have inspected sous fields which might vie with any to be seen in the b. et sgrieultarel districts of Baena. The Newry Telegraph thus reports from the north : Arnund Langan there is every appearance visible of an abundant harvest. The fields are beginning to assume the golden hue of the respiee time, and, in nine early districts, ft Ids of oats have been cut down. The potato crop is con tinti;og to withstand the blieht; and although a grey number of fields seem blackened by the old disease, still the roe s have not yet suffered to any c :•nsitle ruble extent. Th wh-at crop will be a very heavy one, and, in no instance, have I observed or heard of the existence of a rid rust or blast this season. All other cereal and green crops give promise of an abundant )ielt. We have the following from various distric's : Trellis (South of Ireland).—The wet weather had a bad effect, ant alone the oout a g rid deal of blight wu obw !T -able. The crop is very early,l owever, and very large. Ballystannon (Dtneg 1) —An unusually large quantity planted this year. Blight has appeared in the leaf and stalk, but not yet in the tubers, which sr* at present quite good . Ors will be an a►undant crop. Wheat looks well; only • swell hrearlth of land sown this season. Limerick (South of Ireland) —Bement reports of the tunes much more favourable than beretolore. The disease is no: eztending. To, entire crop is very early. The poratna ►rought to market are very gruel. Ennis (County of Clue) —The potatoes are looking well. Taii a prehensins of a tai!ure are eubsidieg ; only a very few ds•a•ed potaton have been found In a considerable quantity dus up. Wheat and barley are being cat, and promise well. Derry (forth of Ireland).—The emanate are conflicting; but, although the tope of the plan's appear in some cases to have Peen affected, the roots are sound. and there will b- an abundant ernp, even if a large portion fail. All the other crops ►ook well,. Oats will be a finer crop than for many years past. Cootes, the pedestrian, successfully completed yes terday evening an extraordinary H.atch against time which he had undertaken, namely, to walk a thou sand half miles in a thousand half hours. The wager for which he undertook this arduous feat was only 304 but it is expected that that sum will be consider ably increa.ed by subscriptions. Some days since he appeared in so exhausted a state that his backers I scarcely expected they would be able to keep him up Ito the task, but as the conclusion approached he re 'covered strength and courage. Another claimant appears, it is stated, for the earldom of Roscommon in the person of Z. Wallace, Esq., proprietor of the Angl Celt, Cavan newspaper, who it is said not only entertains strong hopes of succeeding to the vacant coronet, but also of recover ing a porion of the estate once attached thereto, and upon which his family had a rent charge up to the year 1843. Tllll ARMY IN IRRlARD.—Captain Innetni Com pany of B, Pal Artillery, with field battery, arrived in Dah ill' from Athlone on the 16th instant, end replac d Major Collington's company with field battery, which arrived it Athlone on the 17th instant, h-.eing left Dublin on the 14:h. —Cape.

GALWAY POST-OPYICE.—We are enabled at last to announce the appointment of Anthony Leneb, Esq., eldest son of M. A. Lynch, Esq., J.P of Nile Lodge, to tbs dike of postmaster of this town. We understand the vacancy would hive been long since filled up, but for thePostaiaskr general laying claim to the right of the appoin.ment, which right was disputed as being vested in the senior representa tive of our tows, and in consequence the present spdoint ment has been wade at the instance of M. J. Blake, Esq., Y.P.—Galway Mercury. COMBINATION OUTBAOI.—We regret extremely to state that upon Saturday evening last, when the railway waggon conenining parcels was within two miles and a quarter of Sligo, at about five o'clock in the sfurnoon, it was attacked by a pasty of men, who, having felled the driver, a man named William Walsh, with a blow over the temple, shot one of the two honest which was drawing the waggon. A man nomad Michael Marna has been identified as one of the party engaged. Walsh (satin in the infirmary, though his injuries are not very SiTIOUL This outrage is supposed to be the result of a combination of parties injured by the running of this wool waggon between Mullingar and Journal. COVENTRY, NUNEATON, BIRMINGHAM, AND Lzr- CR&TBR RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of shareholders in this company was held at the Queen's Hotel, !timing hem, yesterday, Captain Moonom, R. N., in the chair. The chairmen, in opening the proceeding., observed—" I have been desired by the chairman of this company, Mr. Lamm, who is unavei !ably absent, to lay before you the report and statement of accounts for the lam half-year. Those accounts show that a balance of 3621. appears on the debit side of the account. On the other hand, the value of the permanent way material., in which the compauy's lands were Invested, may be taken at 83,0001, and the further liabilities of the company at about 2,6001., leaving available assets of about 80.8001, or nearly 61 per share out of the 101. per share called up. When the direetors have had an opportunity of fully considering the operation of the Railways Abandonment Bill, they will call you again together and take your instruc tions as to the winding up of the concern. In the mean time they will, in ease you approve their report and recom mendations, proceed as the report proposes, so as to be able to take any future course which circumstances may die. tate." Ti,. following report of the directors was then read : The directors meet the proprietors regretting that the hope which ti.ey had entertained that the Midland Company would have tak, n to the line, and have thus relieved the propristos of this company from their liebilitite is frustrated. They are at the urns time unable to state, owing to the mode in which that bill has been paned, whether advantage eau be taken of the Railways Abandonment Bill to wind-up the concern, and divide the unexpended deposits. Feeling, however, that it is useless longer to protract the existence of the mincers, they have made arrangements, subject to the unction of this meeting, for realising the value of the mate- Hale purehued for the onnstruetion of the railway. This course will enable the directors to comply w.th the wish of many of the proprietors that their propoetion of the funds in hand should be returned to them "....On the motion of the chairman, the r..purt tau unanimously adopted, and the meeting separated.
