To talk of remunerating that man in a pecuniary mese would be absolutely out of the quali ties. The value of a testimonial of the kind contemplated was not is its pecuniary worth ; it woo in its spwtaneously Bowie. from the hearts of the people; it was that it should NANO not only the party to whom Mr. Roebuck belonged, bed 1101111111“ of men of the sprat* party ; and be was glad WM hem the subectiptiam list that men of eomprehensive efeweeesseettid with the opposite party, eassidered Kr.

(Vociferous cheering.) He had heard to his great sorrow, and with some indignation, friends say, " Why talk of a testimonial to Mr. Roebuck ?" These testimonials, they said, were be coming so common that they were quite a aghast*. Well, suppose he wore to admit that, he still said that he wished they could see Englishmen et the studies and mark of John Arthur Roebuck became quite isogamete. (" Hear," and beldame). His name had never been MONO from the di vision when any question was at stake which involved the honour of his country or the welfare of his countrymen. It was proposed that a sum of money should be raised, to pettiest a toadstools' to Mr. Roebuck, to be held by him and his family after him ; and also that some likeness of Mr. Roebeek himself—either a bust or a portrait—should be takes and deposited in one of their public halls. (Haar, hear.) He had no doubt that everytbing necessary to seeste both them objects would be obtained. He was anxious that the subscriptions should take as wide a raoge as possible; and therefore they would pardon him for ropes!inn that the shillings of the working men would .:pees/ as mash as the larger offerings of those who could sifted to do more. Mr. Joust WILSON (a working man) seconded the resolu tion, which was carried veauimously, amidst loud applause. Y. T. Warns, Eq.

Acucar 30. The Lords of the Admiralty are expected in Cork Harbour to-morrow, for the purpose of making their annual inspection. The weather continues exceedingly fine, and seems to have completely reassured our agriculturists, whom the late rains had thrown into a most desponding state. The following very satisfactory statement on the subject of our harvest prospects apkears in a lead ing article of this dare Freeman : By this time fully three-fourths of the wheat crop have been cut over the three kingdoms, and this week will pro bably see the whole stacked and saved. One of the most cheering features of the present season is the condition of the labour market. For some time it has been gradually improving. The rate of wages advanced with the scarcity of men and the high state of the markets, but not to an extent commensurate with the wants of the labourer. We cannot accept the glowing descriptions of the English prase about the vastly improved condition of the Irish workman. We would sympathise with them if they were true, but we know them to be false and exaggerated. Oar neighbours gather their ideas of progress from very imperfect statistics, which it is the " cue " of the government to make as favourable as possible to the condition of the workman. The wove otdistriote *sootily supplied with labour, and where remuneration Is consequently hi gher , are t a ken es the average rate of whole counties. Now it is well known that generally the day's labour does not command mere than one shilling, without food, which surely is • sufficiently low rate with the present price of nrovisions. This is some fin provssiiiet a the old sixpenny standard, but it is not enough to warrant the description of well filled bellies sad well clothed becks which now prevail so extensively among the Irish Lebow ere—on paper. It is right to observe that the tendency is upward, sae if the harvest rote now paid were permanent, the labourer would be nearly a match for his nosessities. Bat we meg net indulge in so pleasing a prospect. When the temporary cause subsides wages will return to the old channel. We have a word to say about the potato. Though not as well as its ardent friends would desire it enjoys reasonably good health. Borne description's, the thin seated, are said to be tainted, bat we have made inquiries mess the retailers, who, for °beims reasons, would net be slow so propagate rumours of disease—and, with scarcely a abide ezimptisn the crop reachiag the Dublin market has been pronounced used. In ell preceding years, since the blight oommenoed, large quantities of diseased potatoes were sold as such, and, since poverty cannot choice, they found ready purchasers. This year we meet with no snob excep tioaal eriessodity for sale. The low prised ar• confirmed to the smaller kinds, which, though sound as the larger, are mid fir turepeace a stone less. We regard this fact al • sere Wholes of the general healthiness of the early drop, which has passed through the crisis with little data , riorstion. - - . . The Belfast, Chronicle, referring to the potato blight, Maya: Kansans dealers state that, in the many hundreds of loads sold wally in our market, so much as one owl. of potatoes twill for use could scarcely be found. It appears that, in the several &posted attacked, the favourite " entitle " —• description introduced into Inland sines 1846—is most effected, particularly where grown in warm, sheltered situations, and on ground too highly manured. The hardy and easily cultivated " cup " has suffered least. In many places, where neon of the disease are observable on the stalks and leaves, the tubers, when turned out of the ridge or drill, prove sound and untainted. On the whole, there is reasonable ground to hope that this year's abundant and excellent crop will amply rem to the farmer, even when sold at prices much lower than the exorbitant rates of last year. The important autumn fair of Mullingar took place yes terday. There was a number of Irish and English dealers present, on the look out for hunters and horses suited for the army, including Alderman L. Reynolds (Dublin), Potter (Manchester), Regan. Hunt, Regret'', lever*, Manly, &t. There were, however, but few hones of a good description in the fair. One or two tine looking hunters brought from 701. to 1201. Three years old colts, of a first-class character, sold at from 661. to 601. each. Those of an inferior descrip tion were stale, flat, and unprofitable. In the cattle fen— prime beef sold at from 601. to 6.51. per cwt.; three years old heifers, from 151. to 181.; stores, from 191. to 134.; springers, of a that- slams character, from 141. to 161., ac cording to quality ; mulch cows were searoe, and sold at recent quotations. The &hasp fair was abundantly supplied with mune= psame welders Mtagtag hem lid. to Td. per lb. ; prime ewes were in groat request, and nearly all aold at remunerative prices. Lambe, first-clue, also sold readily at from 19.. to 255. The pig fair was of an average chanter, bacon selling at 655. per cwt. SUICIDE OP A MILITARY °MOBIL On Wednesday an inquest was held at the Golden Cross, Duncennon-street, Bt. Martin's ia-the-Fields, before Charles St. Clair Bedford, Beg., coroner for Westminster, on the body of Lieutenant Gilbert Pickering, aged 30. Hr. Demoulain, of 41, Cravenatreet, stated that the deceased had been lodging at his house for some weeks, having been introduced by Lieutenant Scott. OA Satur day last he saw the deceased, when he appeared is perfect health and spirits. Rome conversation took plain between them, when witness mentioned the mount of his Mil, 261, which the demand said should be paid on Headley. Wit- NU did not see the dawned on Sunday. Oa Monday wrung his attention was called by a gentleman, another lodger, who said he had heard the report of a pistol in the deceased's nom : be knocked violently at the door, and re ceiving no 'sewer, immediately burst it open, when he found the deeemeestretched on the bed, in a pool of blood, bat not deed. Dr. Hood afforded immediate assistance. Miss Deneolain stated that she spoke to the demised on the Sunday evening, when she let bun in. He appeared to be in good spirits, and said he had been to Hew-gardens, sad bad spent a delightful day. Dr. Hood, of Upper Seymour-plaos, deposed that he was visiting • patient on Monday, in Craven-street, whoa be was informed that the deceased bad shot himself. Two steel pistols were found lyiag by hie side. He saw at one*, from the nature and extant of the wounds, that dm ease was Moslem The demised, who WA ebet Massif in the sioatlf, was insensible, and never rallied. He expired the ens night, a few minutes after nine. The dammed appeared to have been smoking, as a pipe unentiognished was lying near By a huer—lie had no doubt the wounds were the canes of death.

On Wednesday morales weak two respectable- Maize men, apparently is the farming line, drew up to the door of Mr. Farr, who keeps a publie house in con minion with his little farm, Nunteed, near Devizes, and having directed that their hone might be taken to the stable they sat down to refresh themselves. The pod cheer set beton them, and the civil, obliging manner of Mr. Farr appeared to please them much. "If they could, wave• stoutly, be acentainodated with beds they would (they said) remain for the night. as one of them, who was 'steward to Mr. Brown, of Luock Lodge,' was desirous of purchasing some in-calf heifers in Devizes market on the following day." Mr. Farr felt himself honoured by the proposition ee•-• bed was promised; and in the &Henan Mr. Fan chewed the gentlemen round his fields, and, in the course of their walk, pointed out to theta—es an object mushy of especial notice—a horse which he had Wed at Tan Hill fair for 161. The gentlemen @haired it of amen, but, as the object of their visit was not so much to proton hones as " in-calf hedges," nothing was said about the animal; and, having spent a very agreeable evening, the two gentlemen retired to rest, sad, on the followieg morning, left for Devises market. Mr. Fan attended Devizes market also, and, se he had proved himself so good a judge of horseflesh at " Tan Hill," one of them in the some of the morning come to him and asked lilts tf tin eenuttris- good enough to auompany him to the Nag's Head stable+, and give his opinion upon a horse which he had taken " • violent fancy to." Mr. Fur at once went with the gentleman, and saw a grey hens, and a stranger, who represented himself se the owner of it. The price caked was 461., but Mr. Farr and the gentleman thought It might be bought for lea money ; they accordingly bid 401., and, after a good deal of " dealing," the gentleman ascended in obtaining the animal at his own price, and taking a cheque book from hie pocket, be drew a cheque for the amount, in the name of Joseph Smith, in favour of Mr. Brown, or bearer, on the Hampshire Basking Company, at Southamp ton, and handed it to the vendor. Jut at this time, another man (whom Mr. Farr had not before seen) made his ap-1 parsons, and asked Mr. Smith " if he could not settle for those heifers 2" " Certainly," said Mr. Smith, and drawing another cheque epos the same bask for 261. he handed it to the stranger, who thereupon withdrew, and left Mr. Farr, Mr. Smith, and the former owner of the grey horse toge ther. The latter nun had sold "one of the best horses under the sun," and his only reason for doing so was, that "it was too good for his work." He must, however, get another to supply its place ; and having described precisely the senor animal he wsoted,Mr.Amith at once recommended him to try and buy Mr. Fur's horse—it was the very thing for him, in every respect. Mr. Farr, nothing loth at tun log a pound, leaving Mr. Smith behind, set cff with the other man to Nuntsed. The horn was there shown out and approved, and the bargain struck at 191., in payment of which the former owner of the grey horse handed to Mr. Fur Mr. Smith's cheque for 401. and requested the difference. Mr. Farr said be had only 191. by him, bet if the purchaser would trust him for an hour, he would ride into Devizes, get the cheque changed, and give him the remaining 21. This was agreed to, and, requesting that Fan would bring the money to him at the Bear Hotel, the man mounted the new par. chase and rode off. Farr followed immediately, hut, upon his arrival at the Bear, he found that no person of the pur chaaer's description had been there. lie then proceeded to the Neg's Head, to see if the grey horse for which the cheque had been originally drawn was still in the stable, but that had departed also, and, not liking the look of mat ten, he went to the North Wilts Bank, and obtained cash for the cheque, endorsing his own name on the back of it. Further inquiries led him to believe that he had been duped, and this belief was fully confirmed upon fisting that Mr. Smith and the purchaser of his horse bad left the town tortber, in company with two other" gentlemen" in the " in-calf heifer" line. We need scarcely say that the cheque upon the Hampshire Bank Ina been returned marked "no effects ;" nor has it soy such customer as Joseph Senn). —Bath Chronicle. THE NATIONAL FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.
