Of insolent'ste there was • great variety, while of roots and seeds there was so lack; and, upon the whole, we can congratulate the society upon this year's exhibition, indica- tire, as ft wire, of progress. A lap number of gentlemen afterwards dined together at the Market Hall, Lord Stanley in the chair. After the usual loyal touts., Lord 13e•sxxv begged to propose one which was almost new in the records of public dinnen in Reiland, but which, although new, would not be the leas welcome—the " Empe ror sad Empress of the French." He might almost say Me Emperor and Empress; for in this country, at present, there was oily one imperial health which they would receive with any great cordiality. (Loud cheers.) His lordship nest gave the " Army and Navy," to which Sir R. Cisarian, Bart., responded.

In the first place, he would say that, in the present state of English agricul ture, there was great room for improvement, and, at the frame time, he would say, equal necessity for it (Hear.) It was estimated that in the United Kingdom there were 77,000,000 scree, of which 47,000,000 were cultivated, well or badly; 16,000,000 waft* and irreclaimable; 16,000,000 which ought and might be cultivated. That was to say, of the entire soil of the country there were three fifths cult'. rated, ourrfifth which could not be brought under tion, and oae.fifth which could be, but was not, But this was a partial and inadequate test. It was not of the lands left waste, but of the lands bat half cultivated, that they should speak. It was calculated that by splayfoot to the fullest extent the resources of modem scream the produce from the land would be three times the present amount. At present they fed, say twenty millions of men; if the resources were fully developed they might feed silty millions; and this wee not dm but based upon positive calculation.

The value of the agricultural produce of the country, aceordieg to the statements of the Statistical Society, was 216.000,000 L steelier.

One doctrine had been insisted on, that land dissid be more easy aad free to boy and sell than it was at punt. There were legal difficulties in the way, but the .it, obstacles were social.

Last evening, the seventh jubilee of the restorstion Of the ancient gatehouse of St. John's Priory, at Clerken • well, was celebrated by the dinner of the United Orders* Provident Society, whielt took place in the old ball above the gateway, a locality which is associated with the history of the early crusader*, more than seven centuries ago ; and which:has sines acquired another interest, as the house where Garrick made hi. hist essay as 'nectar, and Johnson some of his first mays as en author, while it was occupied by the printer, Edward Cave. Upon the present occasion, the premises being now known as the Old 'murales& Tavern, dinner was provided for about 60 gentlemen, their chair man being Mr. Arthur Seratchley, F.llB A , the consulting actuary of the United Orders Provident Society. He was supported on his right by Sir Samuel Hancock, Eton of the Royal Yeomen of the Guard, and by Mr. John Wentworth; on his left by Mr. Effingham Wilson and Mr. Horace St. John. _ _ After the customary loyal touts, the CHAIRMAN proposed " The antiquities and antiquaries of Great Britain, and the historicist and literary as uciations of St. John's Gate." This was responded to by Mr. Horses St. Jo 13•, who oh served that it was a great inducement to the men of this age to do well in their generation, that they migot emulate the renown of their predreeesors, the knights of fit.

There was no lack of friendly encirties in this kingdom, in which, be believed, upwards of 33,000 such institutions existed, or bad extetrd, within a short period. He was followed by Mr. Edward Wyrall, the secretary, and mush informa tion wee given about the society's objects and plane. The company enjoyed for the rest, a very convivial and agree able meeting. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT. ST. MARTIN't3.IN-TIIE-FIELDS. Yesterday Mr. Baugh Allen, one of the assessors appointed by Sir Geo. Grey under the Metropolitan Local Management Aet, attended at the Vestry-hall, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the act. The churchwardens and overseers, with Mr. peepedleld, the vestry clerk, Mr. Cobbett, Mr. Daltoe,Mr. Lsbror,and the leading ratepayers of the parish attended to afford every information. The vestry clerk read the resolutions passed at the vestry meeting on Thurs day, and also handed to the teamed assessor the report of the committee suggestieg the manner in which the parish should be divided into three watch, to be called the west, north, and south wards, consisting of 12 representatives for each. Aft r consulting the statistical account of the number of ratepayers and rateable property Meech district, the assessor approved of the scheme recommended by the committee, but made variout alterations in the boundaries. The election of vestrymen fur each ward will not take place until November. ST GILLS IN THE FIELDS AND ST. GEORGE, BLOOIIa- BURT.—Yeattrday Arthur John Wood, Esq., attended at the Vestry Clerk's.‘ ffice for a similar uurpose. The vestry clerk, churchwardens, and overseers (but only two or three panshionew) were present. It appeared there was consi derable doubt whether there was a sufficient number of rate payers in the united parishes to autoonse the assessor in dividing the parish into wards. The learned assessor had to go through each district, a work of no ordinary labour. The final decision was adjourned. - LAMBITH.—Yf sterday Mr. W. D. Cooper attended at the Vest.y• hall of St. Mary, for the purpose of dividing the parish into wards. The parish will be divided into bight wards, consisting of 120 vestrymen. The wards will consist of the Lower sod Upper Marsh Wsrds, Bishop's Liberty, Prince's Liberty, Vauxhall Ward, Stairwell Ward, Brix ton and Norwood Ward. The representation by vestrymen will be apportioned according to the number of rated house-. holders in each ward. The returns not being complete, the final assignment and division were adjourned until the 18th inst. The number of assesausents throughout the entire pariah are 23,709, and the gross rateable value of the pro petty, 491,6611. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. AYRSItIRE.—Wo have been favoured with most delightful bursae weather during the last ten days. The clear sunshine has been of great advantage to the wheat crop, and the searching breeze' which occasionally prevailed have brought the early cut corn into good condition for stacking. Since the beginning of last week, farmers have made good progress with the all important labour et the season; but, bolting at the county in general, we say that the present is a rapid h t. As the work goes on, our previous remarks on the appearance of the crops are generally confirmed. The oat crop everywhere looks lighter in stook than the farmers antici pated. This is not surprising when we recollect the rapidity with which it has grown and been matured. Sot we are happy to say that the crop is giving satisfaction in the bars. The general statement is that the yield is abundant in proportion to the bulk of straw, and that the quality of the grain is superior. Sufficient progress has not been made in the thrashing of wheat to enable us to form an opinion se to the yield ; the crop lulu scarcely so bulky in stook as might have been euppoeed from its appearance, but we think it will reach a fair average. Beans ars ripening rapidly. They are early, the pods are plump, and though the straw ts pena -1 rally short, the appearance indicates fully an average pro dues. LuecoLueniai —The harvest in the neighbourhood of Lincoln is rapidly drawing to a close, the must active exer tions having been devoted to the gathering and housing of the wheat. Generally speaking it bas bees got in In good condition, and several samples have been brought to market. Dossow.—The harvest is pi - greasing rapidly in this neighbourhood, the weather being exceedingly favourable. A considerable drawback is experienced in the scarcity of labourers. Aa much as a guinea per acre is said to be in some cases given to reaper.. The yield, and general con dition, quality, &e., of the crops seem to be exceedingly varied, no two persons agreeing in their estimates. The wheat crops must be got in before anything like certainty can be known. SPALDING —Growers stoutly assert, and we fear with too much truth, that the yield will be far from what was antici cipated. The heavy crops are slightly touched with mildew, and being laid ai . .cl twisted with the wind, they have not ripened properly ; hence the shrivelled appearaaes of the kernel. Notwithstanding this, the crops are, g e fly speaking, sufficiently good to prove very remunerative to the farmer, and • greet deal of corn has already teen secured in splendid oesdition.—Stamford Mercury. LIICZATIN.—The h in this neighbourhood is being fast got in. Most of the wheat crops have been carried, not withstanding a complaint of the scarcity of bands. The yield is considered an average one, although some parties estimate it as much lighter than last year's,—Slawforif Mercury. THE LATE HORRIBLE AT AN M Y TERIOUS MURDER BRIL. A very remarkable circumstance has just trans pired. It yid be remembered that at the time of the dis covery of the unfortinsate girl's mutilated remains an opinion was entertained that the assassination was the work of some lusatic, and that a man seemingly insane had on more than one occasion been seen near the spot, where he had frightened several ladle s, aid had on one occasion run after some children with what was believed to be a razor in his I band. A day or two sines a letter was received by the superin tendent of our police force, Captain Fisher, from it. police superintendent at Beath, stating that a young man, evi dently in a state of insane depression, had been found sitting down near the Vale of Neath railway. The com munication seated that the young man had no hat, that his clothes were torn sad disordered, as if he bad been lj leg about in woods ; that he was exceedingly sullen, and wculd give no account of himself, and that the only Cue which could be discovered I. his place of residence was the frag ment of a Bristol grocer's bill, which had been found in his pockets. Inquiries were made by our police, and it was seeert•ined that a young man, of somewhat gloomy and eccentric habit', bad gone away from there. and bed been sought for in vain. Nothing had °s oured at that time to suggest inquiry as to the period of his departure, but the superintendent of police at Neath was at once communicated with, and the luoaiic was brought to Bristol by packet. Al the way on the voyage he preserved the same sullen silence until he had rPigthutpacrotheuritoverthaeb°gTuellthp e wh ß e l re ack ltoctbe. body Hweasthieonunpdo.inwiteda said, " where a muter was committed." The off leer in whose charge be was affected ignorance of the oc (metopes, and said, " Who was murdeted there—a man or • women?" to which he replied, "A gel." After this he returned to his former sullen mood, and said scarcely • word mere lentil delivered to his friends. Now, it is very possible that the young man might have spoken of the murder from having heard of it, but the circumstances altogether were so remarkable that the police are employed in making a diligent inquiry on the subject, particularly with refereed to how he was employed on the day of the tragic occurrence. 011IPTAL PALM-413MM) DAT.—SEPT. 7. —3.tha4iceso es payenont, 6,482; ditto b sew" tickets, i 061.—Tolal, 7,133.

T.igg, who sow officiates as secretary, for the purpose of establishing a re sponsible institution for the security and management of testamentary and qua properly, was bald on Thanday at the London Tavern; Mr. Jatostraou CM/31311LN Q.C. M.P., in the chair. The meeting was d in order to receive a statement from the executive council of their past pewee/die'. and their pleas for the future organisation of the society, as well as for the more immediate object of determining whe ther it should be carried en under the powers of the Regis. teatime and Limited Liability Acts. Mr. P. TWILLS (of the holes of Spooner, Att woods, and Co.) proposed the tint resolution, which was as follows:—" That this meeting approves of the resolution of the ties council in regard to the organisation of the company under the Re gistration Act end Limited Liability Act recently pseud, and to the immediate commeneennent of business without abandotieg the hope of obtaining en act of incor poration when a wattage opportunity secure." With re ference to the practicability of carrying out the °Nude of the weapons in secoriance with the terms of the resolution, the speaker said that it was proposed that the capital should consist of 10,000 races of 201. each, makieg a total capital of 200,0001. The member of Mares already taken is the soap patty was urrivas of 11,001,; but no doubt the holders' of some of those •hares would be desirou of withdrawing. ,till it was probable that 10,000 shares would be retained. The set, however, only required that three-fourths of the shares should be taken, which would reduce the capital to 160,0001. Waist sum one.fifill must be paid up, which brought down the capitol to 30,0001, which it would be necessary to have in hand before commencing proceedings. That mone y . in their hands, however, would be in • very different position from almost any capital hitherto formed. They were not like • railway company, which had to purchase land and to employ workmen in order to bring the raw materiel into • condition when it could begin to earn money—or a steam shipping company, which had to invest its capital in the purchase or building of ships. The moment this money was received it would be invested, without the reduction of • single shilling, in the Three per Cent. Console, or Exchequer Bills, or other government securities. At the same time the expenses of the company were a mere trifle—there was no speculation, no buying and selling, and nothing from which loss could ensue, except from gross blundering, inconceivable igno rance, or such • thorough dishonesty as he was ashamed to contemplate. (Hear, hear.) The executive council had therefore determined stroppy to recommend to the meeting sot to abandon the enterprise in its present position when the circumstances of the Limited Liability Act sa d re duction of the amount which it would be necessary to begin with as a guarantee fund almost more than compensated for the loss of benefit which would hays accrued from a private eat of parliament incorporating the company, and enabling them to set in that character as executors and truces. (Hear, hear.) At present, all that they would have to do would to make a call of 41. per share which would meet every requirement of the Limited L iability Act, and the next morning they might commence business. (Hear.) Mr. T. NORTON (late Chief Justice of Newfoundland) seconded the resolution, and observed that this society was by no means without a precedent. In the Cape of Good Hope there was a body exactly answering to this societyand carrying out its obj. cta by • similar instrumentality. le British Guiana there was • public officer who carried out the purposes which this society proposed to erect; and in many of the states of America a like practice prevailed. In Tree motion wu then put from the chair, and carried unanimously. Dr. Comas proposed the second resolution That this meeting approves of the draft deed which bee bees sub witted as the basis of the constitution of the compasy, and authorises the executive council to carry it into effect wider the powers of the Registration and Limited Liability Let, with such amendments as they may deem essential to its entire efllciiiney." Toe motion was seconded by Captain 11. Wean, aid was canieffscanisissely. . . Kr. Jostxu WiLittgeox then suggested the following re solution, in order to meet the views of Mr. North :—" That this meeting receives with much satisfaction the statement of the executive council, that there are no debts remaining due in respect of the company, and that alt liabilities in curred by reason of stele signature to the subscriben' agree ment have ceased." (Hear, beer.) As be (Mr. Wilkinson) happened to be a member of the executive council, perhaps it would be desirable, if that resolution met with the ep• prowl of the meeting, that some independent shareholder should propose it. Mr. NORTY said that it so entirely met with his concur rence that he should have great ple.aure in doing so ; and having been seconded by Mr. Talmo, it was carried unanimously. OD the motion of Mr. OLIVIEL SABO AAAAA seconded by Mr. G. NOWION (late Advocate 0 I of Madras), a vote of thank' was carried with acclamation to the chairman. THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. The twelfth quarterly and third anniversary meet ing of this society was held at Exeter Hall yesterday, the 7th inst. In the sinavoideb'e absence of Viscount nonslip, the chairman, Lord Atenun 8. Caraciiitt presided, supported by the Hon. Robert Bourke, the Rev. Dr. Worth ington, Henry P.mnall, Req., Hotlaw H. Adams, Esq members of the executive committee ; the Rev. Dr. Doc,- worth, etc., no. The Noble CH...IMAM' submitted the quarterly report, which exhibited various financial returns, showing the per manent prosperity of the association. The committee ex pressed regret that the system of making objections to the claims of members entitled to the freehold franchise by the selection of plots on the society's estates had been renewed this year ; but the rights of the 'lioness would be as usual defended at the registration courts, free of expense, by the society's solicitors. Mr. Gorham Maitland, owing to an official appointment, having resigned his seat at the board, Mr. Soria,' Hill Adams, of Lincoln's inn, had been elected is his stead. Since ibe last quarterly meeting the Hounslow estate had been sPotted, every plot having been taken at once, and several subsequently sold at premiums. Equally remarkable was the success: which attended the offering of the leaped plots on the Brighton estate: not only were those on which houses are built token by very early rights of choice, but • marked oompation was ob served for the remaining lots. Building operations had since increased, and in some instances no lam than 121. 10.. for a 504. plot had bee, secured for • lease of 99 years. Toe eommi:tee had recently purchased a salable estate in the parish of Hackney, does to the railway sta. non; and another at Guildford, In West Surrey. The committee were actively engaged in preparing for the allot ' sent of these, as well as the Tuobridge Wells estate. The eommittee reported that eommunicatioas had bee, mediated for the endowment and erection of churches on the three freehold sites to be grunted by the society on the St. Mar garet's estate. at Twickenham ; Brickley bill Park estate, at Forest bill, West Bent ; and the Downshire-square es tate. at Reuling, in Berkshire ; and they bed reason to ea ticipsto that as buildings pragreee on these proportion, the epiritnal wants of the new neighbourhood would not long remain ansapplied. Toe total cash receipts to the Mideast mer quarter amounted to 177,9911.21. 10d., and from June 26 to Avenat 31, 9,9191. Os 6d., making a total of 187.9101 3s. 31. The total number of shares issued was 11,249; of land sold, 1144361 10s , of which 5,4261. were for the period from Jose 25 to August 31. Oa the motion of the CHAIRMAN. seconded by Mr. Pow. Neu., the report was unanimously adopted. Messrs. Astbury and Ritchie were then sleeted by the meeting to edit the account* for the year, In addition to Messrs. Steven and Sowell, appointed by the board. After • cordial vote of thanks to the noble chairman end committee, a drawing took place for 75 rights of cholee, and 37 were added by seniority.
