THE put week has been marked by a rise in the rate of discount of the Bank of England from 4to 4e per cent. That the step was inevitable might be gathered from the most cursory examina tion of the Bank returns for the last few weeks, as we showed in the Erpreu of last Monday. The decline in the Bank's resources has been con tinuous and considerable. It is true that during the last week it has rather slackened than other wise. The decreau in the coin and bullion shown in the last return did not exceed 230,7881., whilst the reserve increased 66,5721. The fact that the Bank Directors have raised the rate at • moment when the amount in their till has slightly increased may almost be regarded as a confession on their part that the measure ought to have been adopted before. Glancing back, we find that a precisely similar movement to the one just adopted, via., a rise from 4 to 41 per cent., took place on the 29th of March last. The view that the ad vance upon the present occasion has been delayed too long is strengthened by the fact that the bul lion is now less by 1,374,6161., and the reserve of notes leas by 1,653,3151., than at that period. This comparison certainly tends to confirm the an ticipation that a rise in the Bank minimum to 5 per cent. will be found necessary within the next few weeks. Many persons doubt whether a fur ther advance to that extent will be adequate to check permanently the flow of capital abroad. It seems to be certain that our supplies of gold will be far below the average for a considerable time to come, and equally certain that the demand upon us will be heavy. We have not sufficient food at home, and must import much more largely than usual. Between the present date and that of the next harvest, we are afraid to say how many millions of money will be draughted away in excess of the usual amount of our payments to the foreigner for corn. Ultimately, no doubt, the balance will be redressed to a considerable extent by an inter elLuige of commodities, for this is the very essence of trade as conducted between civilised communi ties ; but for the time the exchanges must be kept straight by remittances of specie. Take an ex ample : We are ordering grain in immense quan tities from America, and America is now ordering more of our goods in return, but we are at present taking much more from her than she is taking from us. The statistics of the foreign dry goods trade at New York for the first nine months of the present year show the total quantity entered for consumption to be 77,807,536 dollars — or say, 15,560,000/. being 9,695,658 dollars, or 1,940,0001. lass than for the same period of last year. Grain is pouring in from all quarters. During the past week, owing to the prevalence of easterly winds, the supplies have been especially large from the Baltic, whence, indeed, the hulk of the increase during the whole of the present year has been derived. As soon as the wind turns there will be • great influx of grain-laden vessels from the south of Europe, par ticularly from the Danube and Black Bea. A large fleet of homeward bound ships are at present detained in the chops of the Channel by the adverse winds ; •od Government, u usual upon such occasions, have despatched steamers from the Channel ports to relieve their necessities. One wind wo see brings us in food from the north ; another, food from the south. We are free to supply our wants in any part of the world, and the prices now quoted in our corn markets are proved to be sufficient to attract large quantities. This means, of course, that they satisfy the demands of the foreign producer, and at the same time not merely cover the expenses but yield a due profit to all the intermediate agents whose business it is to provide the links of com munication between producer and consumer. In the event of the prices quoted here proving inade quate to draw forward as much as we want they will have to be raised, fur we must have food, and there is no doubt as to our ability to pay for it. The whole matter, in fact, resolves itself into a mere question of payment, and of the effect which that payment may have upon the money market. A deficient harvest means unquestionably a drain of gobl, the extent of which depends entirely upon the extent of the deficiency. It is precisely in this respect that we feel keenly the want of those agricultural statistics the neglect of which is a clivrace to the country, and a glaring anomaly in so utilitarian and inquiring an age. We cannot tell how much con' we shall want, because we do not know how much our harvest is below the average. Nay, our ignorance is so gross, that we are perfectly unable to answer even so simple a question as— what is the amount of an average harvest, or of the average consumption of grain in this country? If, therefore, we could learn to-morrow the exact yield, to a single bushel, of the harvest of 1860, we should not Ike much nearer to reliable con clusions, for the value of all information of this kind consists in the power of comparison ; and we should have no means of compering the yield this year with that of former years. We know exactly what we import. Had we now lying before us, procured by means of a well-organised scheme of statistics, a statement of the yield of the grain crops in 1860 and in previous years, we should see at once, approximately, how much it will be re qnisite to import, for there would be no dilliculty whatever in ascertaining the extent of the con sumption. The amount of the consumption means, in fee:, the amount of the home pr s.lnction, phr.. the imports. Until we know how moth we have, sod how be fns from nor shall we And the very circamaw. of kind will be of little value until we are able to compare them with those of other years, is surely a strong argument in favour of setting to work without delay and devising means of procuring them. The internal trads of the country continues to be characterised by great steadiness. There has not been any animation at Manchester, and busi ness has been interfered with to some extent by the rise in the price of cotton, which has caused spinners to demand a proportionate advance ; but the extent to which production is engaged Pre cludes the prospect of dulness or of a check to labour. As regards yarns there are many con tracts extending to the end of the year, and over into January. At Huddersfield business is re ported to be limited, but this frequently occurs at this time of the year. At Rochdale some of the manufacturers talk of running " short time," yet it is admitted that orders to a fair amount are in band. From Leeds it is mentioned that the woollen manufacturers, upon the whole, are well employed, and the tone of the trade is healthy. At Bradford some signs of improvement are observ able. At Nottingham the lace and hosiery branches are decidedly better, owing partly to purchases on American account. In the midland hardware and coal districts there is good employment ; and even the iron trade, long depressed, shows a little more activity. gbe Court. WINDSOR CANI'LE, Nov. 10.

A telegram was received this afternoon from her Majesty's Consul at Marseilles, statingthat it was reported from Hong Kong on Sept. 26, that the negotiations with the Chinese had not been brought to any satisfactory point, and that the allied army had commenced its march upon Pekin. The settlement of negotiations is delayed, owing to the question of the money indemnity. The allied troops are marching on Pekin, where Sunko linsin is reported to be present with a large force. Lord Elgin followed the troops on the 9th of September. The army reached Yangteunyeh on the 10ti of ieptember. There is difficulty in providing carriage, as the 'oolies are deserting. 2,000 men protect Tientsin. The rebels are inactive. SHANGHAI, Bu. T. 90. Coolies CANTON, SEPT. J 6. Trade is obstructed by the rebels. We (Morning Post) have reason to believe that on Saturday last an official telegram was received from Sir Hope Grant, stating that be had des patched two regiments on their way home, and that others were preparing to follow. This tele gram was dated the 26th of September. As the last news previously received left the allies in the act of negotiating at Tien-tein, at the end of August, there was evidently a great and important gap to be tilled up. Yesterday, however, another official telegram arrived, which brought intelligence of the rupture of the negotiations at Tien-taro, the march of the allied forces on Pekin, and the de parture of Lord Elgin in their track on the 9th of September. We last night received a further despatch, which throws still more light on the events in China, as it confirms the march of the troops on Pekin, and positively states that on the 10th of September the army reached Yaugtsunyeh (or Sanseenwey, as it is spelt in Wyld's map), which place is within ten miles of Pekin. So far, then, the gap is filled up. We may now hourly expect the arrival of despatches which will narrate the important acts which must have taken place between the 10th of September and the 26th. What is certain is, that Lord Elgin in the first days of September broke off the negotiations which the Mandarins had opened at Tien-tsin, and directed the whole force of the expedition on the capital itself, which, on the 10th of September, was menaced by the arrival of the allies tinder its walla. Whether a battle was then fought with San-ko lin-ain, who was reported to be present there with a large force ; whether Pekin itself was occupied ; or whether the Emperor surrendered at once to our terms, we have yet to learn. But that a peace, full and satisfactory, has been signed we have the assurance ; the telegram of Sir Hope Grant proves that the expedition has accomplished its objects, since on the 26th he had sent off two regiments, and was making preparations for the return home of the rest of the army.

Ili a._ i E 4..-. _ • CORIZIPONDINP.) *OVE SUNDAY the Lord Mayor's and Rusian 'un basaadore—a foot not known yesterday—is calcu lated to give ground for reflection, it does not seem to have chilled the enthusiasm with which Lord Palmerston's and Count de Persigny's speeches were received by the Parisian public. All the papers to day speak of the exoellent effect produced by these discourses. There is no positive news to-day from Gaeta, but, according to a Turin despatch, the capitula. tion is less probable thaw it was thought to be yesterday. The Emperor, who, when he was at Nice, pro mised to repeat his visit every year, hail just ap proved the plan for an imperial villa, to be built on the LAZ aretto in the new Villafranca road. A letter in the Chromic, from Castelnau, states that General Daumas had visited that locality on Thursday Lut, and that there was a talk of forming a camp there in the spring. Notwithstanding the rumours which I alluded to yesterday of a slight reduction in the army, it is said authoritatively that all the men on unlimited leave of absence have just received orders to re main in the localities where they are registered, so that, if wanted, they may be called upon at the earliest possible moment. The Muniteur de la Flotte announces that a new iron-plated frigate, called the Invincible, is in course of construction at the Maurillon dockyarl. Its scantling is on the same model as the Moire. Two large stable-transports are also being built there. They are to be completed with the utmost despatch, as it is wished to have one of the slips ready for laying down an iron-plated frigate on a new model, whose battery is to be higher from the water, while her lines are to be finer and her speed greater than those of the Gloire. PARIS. SATURDAY EV121111,0. There is after all, it appears, to be a hunting season at Compiegne. It is now said to be settled that the Emperor, accompanied by the Imperial Prince, will go there on November 20, and remain till December 1. The Empress is not expected to be of the party, as she intends to escort the remains of her sister, the Duchess of Alba, to Spain, for final interment. A long voyage of Prince Napoleon is again talked of, and the rumour now assumes what is called " consistency ;" but, instead of going all round the world, he is only to take • trip to America. As on the occasion of his trip to the Arctic Sea, he will be accompanied by several men of letters, professors, and artists. The speeches at the Lord Mayor's dinner, as re ported by telegraph, fully oome up to what was expected of them, and although their pacific ten dency has been to a great extent discounted at the Bourse, there was a further great rise to-day upon the strength of them. People continue to think that there will be no more fighting at Gaeta. Francis 11., who has now scarcely an army, cannot but yield to the strong recommendations made by all the Powers not to prolong a hopeless contest. The Queen of Spain, on whom he relied for help, has written an autograph letter begging him to retire. It is thought, however, that lie will not go to Spain, but to Bavaria. As a matter of course he will protest " again before he leaves. The Bente rose 40c. for cash and 30c. for account, closing veil , firm at 70.40 and 70.45. Mobilier rose 20f. The railways were less affected by the upward movement, but Orleans rose 8.75, Northern 5, Eastern 6.25, Lyons and Southern 3.75 each, and Western 2.50. In this great world of Paris extraordinary " acci dents and offences" frequently occur of which the public hear nothing. It would be impossible for a man to blow his brains out cornet populo in Cheap side or the Strand without everybody knowing all about it the next morning. But here such things may well be ; there are no coroners' inquesta. A sudden death is inquired into privately by a emu missary of police, and it depends very much upon the fancy or discretion of that officer whether any statement of the circumstances is published. The . . . . newspapers are not in the habit of investigating such matters for themselves. About three weeks ago some English friends of mine (from whom I have the following story) were strolling along the Boulevard de la MMeleine at an early hour in the evening, and talk tug, curiously enough, about spirit rapping—in which, however, I must nay, for the credit of their testimony, they are not believers ; the cafes were all blazing with light, and the streets were crowded. As my friends neared the Madeleine church their conversation was interrupted by the sharp report of a shot proceed ing from the ground floor of a house at the north west corner of the Rue Royal, and occupied by a M. Tout, who carries on in it the joint business of a wine shop keeper and restaurateur. On the re staurant side of the establishment, and close to a window looking on to the Madeleine, there sat at the table at which he had dined, a handsome young man, extremely well dressed. His counte nance was placid, his position in his chair that of a living man which he was only a minute before. But through a small hole in his white waistcoat his life's blood was pouring out, and the edges of the aperture were turned into tinder, and smoking. He had shot himself through the heart, and was pre sumed to bequite dead. But nobody touched him, it being the custom here, even at the risk of with holding timely sucoour, to leave a murdered or self-slaughtered man just as he is until a magistrate sees him. In a few minutes two or three police men cleared the house, and the windows were closed. On the table before the dead man was a slip of paper, on which was written, "My pigtail and my clothes will pay for my dinner." He la said to be a Prussian ; this is all that I can learn of the tragedy. While the French papers, as I have above ob served, often omit to notice current events they abound in fictions which they serve up as 'facts. The fear of prosecution for public or private libels induces them as a general rule only to give initials in their police reports. The consequence is that the interest attaching to them is wholly irrespeo tive of their truth, and the penny-a-liner who can manufacture any readable story has just as good a market for his commodity as the man who gives himself the melees trouble to ascertain facts. The severe laws against "false news" greatly tend in practice to the propagation of falsehood, sad prevent the newspaper from being what rt ie in England, the "mirror of the time." As an illustration of these remarks, I notice a dramatic story in to-day's papers which would be very extraordinary if tree, but the journals which publish it neither know nor tare whether it is true or not. They say that a young and of course beautiful girl, named Adeline B—, living at Cour seulles, near Paris, having been seduced under promise of marriage and afterwards abandoned by her lover, resolved to commit suicide. She lit two tremendous charcoal fires in her bedroom, but the tutees instead of killing her merely made her ill, and her groans being heard she was succoured and restored. But now conies the bossqoct. There slept on the floor above the young girl's room a not involuntary Actaeon, a wicked peeping Tom, who for vile purposes bad with a gimlet bored a little hole in the plank just above Miss Adeline's bed. Through this little hole the bulk of the poisonous vapour ascended, and killed the amorous youth, whilst the disconsolate lost ono miraculously escaped ! To complete the story, her lover was so touched by the tragical occurrence that lie repented him of his infidelity, made her an honest woman, and paid a handsome sum of mosey to the family of her unfortunate victim ! Now I do not posi tively undertake to say that this romantic tale, or some part of it, may not be true ; I only assert that from the system upon which the French pro ii conducted, the public bare no means of knowing. , 4 irif i 4 ‘' TRW R111:45 KON 1 y e NOVI ; gf :' 1I , 1 1 . , *lfi 1. 4 . much more we sha ll wilkt r sis sfialliri ib LOT ' ,Ai i e ~ EX .•:.

" My Lord Cardinal,—The resources of the public trea sury, which had already been diminished by the progress of the revolution, have now become of no account, as it has approached the 'feu walls of Rome, and has then taken away from the Holy Father every means of meeting the heavy requirements of his army, of his faithful subjects, and of all those who have resigned their public employ. ments and have embraced exile in order to find in Romea refuge from the arts and seductions which would tempt them from the fidelity they have sworn to their lawful sovereign. Under these circumstances, our most Holy Father, who will never consent to accept any offering of sums of money that any government might make with Com pacts or conditions, would on the other hand see with pleasure the faithful of the catholic world cane to his assistance with their penny. Having made known this desire of the Holy Father, I regard as needless any argument that I might urge that it may have a speedy and full effect. "The cooperation of the episcopate will powerfully assist in its execution. I therefore beg you to take the trouble to write on the subject to your colleagues In the pastoral oboe in England, to beg of them to adopt the fittest means, that the faithful who are entrusted to them may concur in assisting their common Father in the heavy anxieties which he suffers from the wickedness of his enemies, and of those even who profess themselves to be his devoted children. " I avail myself of this opportunity, while I kiu your Eminence's hands, wain to profess myself with profound respect, Your Eminence's truly obedient end devoted " G. C. Arroxr.i.u. " To his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, London." Cardinal Wiseman has, to accordance with the request made to him, forwarded copies of Cardinal Antouelli's let• ter to the sevend catholic bishops of England, and has like• wise addressed a letter to the catholic clergy in the district of Westminster, calling on them to organise meetings and committees in their respective localities to carry out the recommendation contained in the Cardinal Secretary's Qom munhation. Both letters were reed in some of the catholic churches and chapels in London yesterday morning, and steps will be immediately taken to hold the meetings in question. The Rev. Wm. O'Connor, Missionary Rector of Lincoln's-inn-fields Chapel, will be treasurer to the fund. The following letter from his Eminence (krdinal Bernabo has been addressed to the Rev.

Dr. Kirby, in testi. many of the devotion and love entertained by your lordship, your clergy, and the faithful of your diocese, towards the Sovereign Pontiff, now and for a long time so severely afflicted. I can assure your lordship that his Holiness received this mow pledge of the faith, affection, and devotion of his most beloved children of Ireland towards the Apostolic See with feel ings of the most paternal benevolence, and that lie likewise prayed most fervently to the Father of Mercies and the God of all consolation to seed down His choicest spiritual and temporal blessings on you and the flock confided to yourcare. May Heaven grant that peace may at length return ; that the catholic church may triumph over her enemies, and that we may all rejoice on the advent of happier times, who, these evil days which in we live shall have passed away. I have been directed by his Holiness to make this 001119172 i. cation to your lordship in his name, and to wish you long life and every happiness.—Your lordship's most devoted brother, "ALEXANDER CARDINAL BARNADO, Freed..

MR. BRIGHT, M.P., ON _STRIKES AND THEIR CAUSEI The following letter from Mr. Bright, M.P., kis been written in answer to one he hu received from a spinner and manufacturer in Blackburn, in which a cool. plaint is made that education, literary and T u lip b ma, ol failed to tee th the work* law wisdom in relation to their own antereeta. "Rochdale, Nov. 3, 1860. "My dear Sir,—l am glad to hear from you, and to learn that your health is better. I am, however, very sorry for the cause of your writing to me, and can understand the disappointment you feel at the small result of so many efforts toinatruct the working population around you. It is not to be expected that the workmen in our population should be wiser than other classes, and we know well that other classes have, whenever able to do it, enforced combi nation prices, and endeavoured to make a scarcity in the articles in which they have dealt. The fact is, that among all classes there is a lamentable ignorance of the laws which ought to regulate labour and trade, and that the study of political economy is totally neglected in the education of the whole people. At this moment the views of a lar,ze portion of the highest mean highest in position, in wealth, and in scholiuship,—are wholly unsound on these subjecte, and, making allowance for difference of circum. stances, they support pp ly the same principle* as those conttuded for by trades unions. At first sight, nothing appears more clear to a workman than that it is a great :al vantage to him to be able to tome his employer to give line higher wages ; and for this end, an end apparently so devil, able, almost everything will appear to the mind of the workman proper and justifiable. He considers the whole matter to bee struggle between capital and labour, mil th.it anything is fair in his fight with the claims of mpital. Hence the folly and injustice of many of the proceediuga of the trades' unions, and the discord which arises between the clam of workmen and the clam of employers. " Along with the mischief which springs from ignorance on these questions, there is another source of evil to which I think employers ought to turn their attention. The whole body of workmen, speaking is general terms, are excluded—purposely excluded—from the francise. They have no political position, and therefore, practically, they have no politics. In this respect they are no more free than the labourers in Austria or in Huss* and conse quently they have so inducement to consider political ques tions, and to examine or to suspect how far their condition is affected by the policy and acts of the government of the toiletry. They are shut out from the political world ; they are told that they ought to have, and shall have, no opinion and no voice in the direction of public affair, ; that they are an ignorant and a dangerous class ; and that what am called the institution of their country would not be safe if they wean permitted to take any part in them. The inevi table result is that these men, growing every day in in formation, and in restlessness and discontent, rather it ma, be with their social than their political condition, and grow ing also in numbers and in the means of organisation, maintains contest with the oulyauthority they see and feel, namely, with their employees, who are to them almost all they know mil comprehend of superior power and of governmental control. "The fact is, our system of politic-il exclusion has this effect ; it makes of the working climes a nation, separated by agulf passable only by few of them, from that other nation to which the existing constitution pretends to give, though it does not honestly give, political power. There is thus no real amalgamation of classes. The class receiving wag..., is Ant out from the questions and the interests which occupy the minds and engage the energies of the employin g dam. Its members are limited to the consideration of their own individual, and local, and class interest. ; and their mental activity is devoted to something like as erv il e war, because everything that is broader and greater is ex cluded from their view. So lung as the empluven of this county, and of the neighbouring counties, are content to allow the governing clam to refuse the rights of citizenship to the inclinatrious men, without whole skill and toil our national greatness could have no existen si„ so long will these men, whose general intelligence and whose energies are acknowledged by all, concentrate that intelligence and that energy on efforts to amend their coalition within those limits of action which are open to them. If the capitalists practically amen that the workman is born only to labour, and that he is incompetent to take any part in those great discussions on public affairs which are en deeply interesting to the more fortunate and privileged of his countrymen, and so important to all—and if, unhappily, the workman should practically acquiesce in this view, and should abstain from efforts to invest himself with the rights of citizenship— let us be assand that his activity will not cease—that his energies will not slumber. He may not read and think politics ;he may not cannss for and conduct election. ; he may not strive to influence the deliberations of parliament, and to urge oa or to check the action of the administration; but he will not be idle, and biz own condition , and that of his clans, sill not have lost all interest in his e yes. He will ignore the obstacles to his well-beiug which erne from viola tions of economic principles by the government ; he will take no strong interest in the taxation of the country, or in the expeuditure of the state ; he will couclude that the only mode of bettering his condition is in an advance of wages, forced from capital, it may be, at the risk of its destruction, and gained end secured only by combinatioos which in the long run must be as injurious to himself ma to the employer against whom he is contending. " I have never denied the legal or the moral right of work men or employers to combine ; but I believe there is not one case iu a hundred where it is wise to exercise this right. Auil looking at the consequence■ of the strikes we have seen in this county, and indeed throughout the country, it is amazing that so many mon of seuse, so many men comps. tent to works of skill and ingenuity, should take any part in them. Ido not expect in our time that these depimable transactions will come to an end, but I am persuaded that they would occur much more rarely, and be attended with less of bitterness and of that obstinate folly which now so often distinguishes them, if the wall of partition between dames were broken down by the admission of the great labour interest' into the rights of eitizenship. Then the same questions would interest us all ; the same grievances, where grievances exist, would be seen to affect us all ; the same great public objects would 36- mulate us all ; and instead of being, as we now are, two nations in one country, having different ends and ad ' verse sympathies, we should have objects and purposes in common, te the incalculable and permanent gain of the whole people. " I am notnow propounding a new doctrine. I have held this opinion ever since I have considered social and political questions. 1 hsve as much interest in the harmonious working of our industrial organisation, and in the welfare of my couu, as any other mon ham and I give it my deli berate ju d g m ent, that it is the interest and the duty of all the employers of labour amongst us, to confer upon the workman, whose labour we purchaae, and whose wages we provide, those rights of franchise and of citizenship which we ourselves possess. Some men imagine that the existing exclusion can be perpetuated, and that it is safer to repress and exclude than to admit. This is the common delusion of three who shut their eyes to all that is passing around them, and who, in their timidity, adhere to • course which, more than any other, is dangerous and untenable. "The workmen are great in numbers, growing in intel ligence, and their power of combination is without limit. They will contend for themselves, by themselves, if con demned to remain a separate and suspected order in our social system ; and this contest has in it the seeds of future and tremendous evil to them, and to the great industrial interests of the country. I wish to unite all, to have no separate interests ; to blend all in a common sense of com mon rights, and thus to give pesos and strength where now discord and weakness too much prevail. "I do not write this to you an though you differed from me in opinion on this subject, but I take the opportunity which your letter affords me of expressing to you the views I honestly bold, earnestly hoping they may one tiny become those of all the employers of labour in the manufacturing counties of England.-1 am, very simnel, Yours, "To Esq .. Blackburn." "Jose BEIM. THE ENSUING SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. The ensuing Christmas prise cattle show of the Smithfield Club is fixed to take place this year at the Baker etreet Bazaar, on the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th December. and the entries already exceedingly nu merous. The death of the Duke of Richmond, who, as immediate successor of the late Earl Spencer, for many year filled the o ffi ce of president of the Smithfield Cattle Club, has caused a vacancy in that position, and the subject .will be taken into consideration at the annual general meeting of the club, to be held on the 11th De cember. It is generally believed that the choice of the club will fall upon Earl Berners, is cease quence of the great attention the noble lord has paid to the interests of the club, not only as vice president but as for keens for the late noble presidect. Considerable mieapprehenaion exists as to the proposed removal of the Smithfield Club prise cattle show from the Baker-street Banter. An impression is abroad that the removal of the show will take place this year. This is erroneous. The contract between the Smithfield Club and Mr. Boni nois, the proprietor of the Bakeratreet Bazaar, does not terminate till the Christmas of 1861. &MI the proposed building for the reception and exhibition of the stock at Islington will not be in readiness to accommodate the show till the Christmas of 1862. It will be remembered that some two or three mouths since there was a great centre. veiny upon this subject amongst the members of the club, and that several meetings were held at the Free masons' Tavern to decide the question of removal or non removed to the site of Dixon's cattle lairs in the Liver. pool-reed, Islington, which was carried by a considerable majority. The late noble president, the Duke of Rich• mond, expressed himself adversely to the removal, in a letter which was read at the Bash meeting presided over by Lord Walsieghion : whilst Earl Beepers, who was also absent upon that occasion, expressed his written concurrence in this proceeding. It is not improbahle, therefore, that there may be some contest upon the poict at the annual general meeting of the club in reference to the election of president. It is stated that an opinion has strongly pitied ground *wept the members of the club that it sill be im politic to move the locality of the show, awl more espe cially to a district so far away from the central and fashion able end of town as Islington. It is believed, Imwever, that the change of opinioe, if it has taken place, has sums too late, as it is undentood that the deeds end documents are all executed by which, upon certain oietlitioee, the club bind themselves to the limited liability company who arc to erect the LuEiling at Islington fur I of (WC IStY• I 900 years. —Otarrtr.
