She was very thankful for thugest kindness shows to fur and her chUdam. The ebairsan had b visit hot several times beton the could nauson re solstice to sad her children to the school ; she was very glad, Wised, that she at last yielded, and so was their f Aber. It was a great comfort to bar that her children were or well protected and cared for. Mrs. CARR (of Dack-lane) had had two ehildrea at the Weetralnewe Ragged School. About sues months ego ate of theta wait to America, and had since had it in his power to send her a soureign—hie first savings. (Heat, hear.) 84e was very hay to think that the gestlemost connected with the school h at been so kind to her chill ran who sera now fatherless. She was deeply thankful that they were looked after with so much tenderiser and care, for it was not in her power to give tht m any education. 'The speaker handed the chairman the letter she bad received from her son, in which the sovereign was enclosed. Mrs. WHIThIARSII—My little boy hu reaped great beadle from attending the school ; and I hope and pray to Clod that he may continue there. lam very much obliged to all the ladies and gentlemen for their kindness. Mrs. WILLINI (of Duck-lans) had three children at the Ragged Sebs.ol, and was very thankful for the kindness they bad all received. Mr. BAILEY said he had two boys at the school, and they had been greatly benefited. God bless you all, gentle men (be continued). If I wu worth 1001., I would not grudge it !or the bo) sto receive so much good as they have dose. Mr. ANDERSON, of the Ragged Szhool Union, said, if may one present either knew or heard of any of their neigh bours' children (or their owns who, from attending a ragged school, had been led astray by other children wone than themselves, to state it plainly to the meeting—that what they wished to ascertain was, the whole truth and nothing bet the trwh. This invitation was several times repeated in the course of the evening, but no such testinnny was forth- coming. Mrs. WEBB was very grateful for the good her boy had received at the ragged school. She could now (as sever be fore), go to bed at night, and rise in the morniag, and thank the Lord that her child was safe. Before, she was the un happiest of withers. Her bsy had hid the b•st advice and isutruction given ►im, and ,Ise hoped be would be able at some lain& time to make some return for the kindness that had been shewn to him. Mrs. LODGE had three children who attended the ragged school, and it was • great consolation to her mind, and to her husband's, that they were permitted to do so. If they had been able to pay t r their learning they could cot be bet ter educated than they now were. The elildren were neither thieves nor robbers, and were taught netting but what was good. Sir HARRY VERNEY, Wl'., (who called unexpected:y a: the ineututO, stated that the object of tilos: w ho convened the meeting was to elicit truth, and he hoped if anything could be brought Lirteard against the schools it would be made public at one*. Did they know of any children being led away into bad society by attending ragged schools (" No, no;" "Certainly nut," was the declaration of [nose present.) Mrs. OWEN had lived ten years in the ns ighbourhcod, and had a heard of any such result; and she was con. Muted that the statement in the piper was entirely false. She had a great numb, r of acquaintances in the neighbour. hood, and ebie heard any person say that their children had been led astray by attending the ragged schools. Mr. ANTHONY O'VALLEY would not mind giving • lOW. to the school, if he had it, in return fir the benefit his boy had received from attending; and he hoped he should not die till he had assisted the school in some way. A large number Operations who bad children in the s:hoole, or had long livid la the losality, having made similar state ments, Mr. ANDERSON requested any mother present who knew • contaminating influence being exercised on the minds of their children in ragged schools to hold up their hands; not one hand, however, was raised. After which, all having children in the schools, held up their hands, as requested, as an indication that their children wire receiving benefit frees them. Mn. SPERWAY had a little girl who bad been very mien improved by attending only tour smooths at the Pye street school. She (Mrs. Sperway) lived exactly opposite the school, and ei.uld tee all the manceuvres of the children ; but ohs never saw any bad conduct exhibited by them. Mrs. LAWFORD had reason to bless the day when the ragged school was opens d. Mrs. LEONARD had five young children who were being educated at the ragged echool and who otherwise would have had no education at all. They had not been lel away into bad eonsani but had been greatly benefited. .- Mr. DAGA 1, bad a boy at school for sets ral yean who was now a good scholar. His father had been transported ; her Meter had three children, who were never so happy as when at the rairge_d_school. Mrs. WORMALD bore testimony to the advantages her son had received at the Pie-street school. He was now in Australia. He bad sent word that he hoped to be able to send something to Eaglind in support of the school. MARY ALLEN, who lived opposite the school, consi dered it a great blessing to the locality, and she had never heard a contrary opinion expressed. Mr. SMITH testified to the improvement of the neigh bourhood as resulting from the establishment of the school. Mr. HILLIARD said he had formerly seen gambling parties in the street numberings, many as thirty persons, and has known as much as 3!. staked at once. He had three girls at the rapist d school, and he knew of no contaminating influence exercised ea them there. _ _ Alter some brief observations from Mr. Anderson and the Chairmen, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : " That the thanks of the parents era justly due, and are hereby rendered, to Mr. Walker for the attention be has for many years given to them and to their children ; and they rejoice in the benefits that hare resulted tnercr.m." Ths CHAIRMAN then engaged in prayer, and the proceed inp terminated.

The YOE baths prod the proseedings by a speech hi/ r i llderman halsaill atrT i Ttivmaiii r to aeon th e address, whisk th at reviewisi the politic: c ar coarse of Lord John Rawl, be read es follows: " To the Right Hea. the Lord John Rumen, M.P., First Lard of het Majesty's Treasury, le.—W e , t h e Mayor, 'Wor ms, and Ilargesess of the Buromb of Manchester, in stam en asestablod, gladly avail ourselves the opportuity of your lordship r to this m@ighbonr litZt lot npressiag oar h h satisfaction at seeing in the midst dam the first minister o the (=wit ; being fully eon viserd, that, at all times, the presence of @vainest statesmen, in this locality, cannot fail to neat those reciprocal senti ments which ought to subsist between the head of the tournment and the vast population of the manufacturing district; sad at the ems times to peavey a more just idea of the magnitude of those interests which it is at once the privi'ege and the duty of the government to foster and pro mote. " We tender to your lordship an assurance of the high respect entertained for you, as well on account cf your eminent official position, as of the great public services which it has been your honourable distinction to render to the country. "Entering cm the active and responsible duties of public life as a member of the House of Commons, at the earliest age permitted by law, and at a time when the attention of the nation was almost entirely engrossed by the war in which It was engaged, it was difficult to obtain support for such Internal reforms as the interests of society demanded, ' and as had become essential to the preservation of the free institutions of the country, and, at the same time, to mean its moral and physical advancement. " To these groat and useful objects your lordship devoted yourself, with an earnestness, consistency, and wisdom com mensurate with their importance, and with the difficulties which opposed their accomplishment. "The success which ha hitherto attended your lordship's Isbouni, arid which is manifested in the removal of civil and religious disabilitiee—the reform of parliament—the abolition of restrictions on industry and trade—the improvement of many legal and administrative institutions—and the eaten sion of the means of instruction—cannot fail to be a source of satisfaction and meoursgement to your lordship, whilst it constitutes the firmest end most honourable bane on which public gratitude for the past, and Used and confidence in fu ture, services, can rest. " In the salutary cheesy.' that have hitherto been effected under your lordship's auspices, we have with much satisfac tion observed evidence of a constant care to obtain the end proposed, with the least possible disturbance of existing ar rangements; by which means extensile reforms have been peaceably consummated. " Whsht thus referring to the general policy with which your lordship has been identified, we feel especially bound, as the representatives of this great community, to acknow ledge the benefits derived by us, is common with the whole country, from the operation of the Municipal Re'orm Act, for which the public is mainly ind e bt e d t o th e j u d gment an d exertions of your lorisbip. By this measure many abuses sod dents in the management of local affairs have been effectually remedied, and—by means of the wide and com prehensive reprnentatioa of the peep!. thereby secured--a valuable system of local self-goverament has been success fully established." Mr. Alderman NIELD, in seconding the resolution, said, in thus welcoming his lordship among's* them, entertaining as they did of noomeity a great variety of opinions on a great variety of subjects, It was not neces , ary that the members of that council (in subscribing to this, which he hoped they would do most cordially) should pledge themselves to every opinion which his lordship might entertain or every object he ' had promoted. He believed that even among thou of the ' uistocrsey who might be considered well informed, many of them were not fully aware of the immense vuiety of agencies which were at work in this district, and he hoped his lord ship's visit would induce others to follow his noble example. (Applause ) Me Councillor GIBB hoped, with the preceding speaker, therefore, that this visit would induce others to iollow the maniple, and they were prepared to give them a cordial wide one. (Applause.) Mr. Councillor HEYWOOD said the last gentleman whin addressed you, Mr. Mayor, holding optsions the very ' antipodes of my own, having expressed them is the manner he has done, it is, I think, a duty incumbent on me to make similar concessions. (Hear.) The visit which Lord J. Russell is now paying to this district will, I hope, be of advantage ' to that portion of the people of this large district who have been for some length of time petitioning the government for the adoptisu of a measure, which, I believe, is calculated to ' improve the condition of the working dames of this la mer se district much more than any ether measure which could be introduced into the House of Commons. The memoirs to which I refer, and to which I hope Lord John Roesell will direct his attention while he is in this district, is the Ten Hours Bill. (Hear, hem) Mr. Councillor SCHOFIELD merely wished to announce that a deputation had waited on him to request that he would support the address, in consideration of the assistance which Loot John Russell had given to carrying out the Ten Hours Bill. (Hear.) The MAYOR mid—Before putting the resolution, I think, as no other member of the °made sees reason to make any reference to the important subject alladed to by Mr.Councillor Heywood, it devolves upon me to state that that silence must not be considered as pledging this council to the views which have been expressed by that gentleman. (Hear.) The resolution was then put and carried, there being not a single dissentient. Mr. Alderman BHUTTLEWORTH moved the second resolutioa " net the address now adopted be presented in such mune' as mbe arranged with Lord Jahn Rowell by his worship the M ayor ; and that the Mayor be requested re spectfully to intimate that it would he a gratification to the cour.cil as a body to present the same, it consistent with his lord arrangements." Mr. Alderman WATKINS seconded it, and it was carried unanimously. The MAYOR then announced that Lord John Rutin had arranged with him on the previous evening to meet the council in his (the Mayor's) parlour, in the Town-hall, Oa the following day. (Applause.) The proceedings then terminated. A meeting of the Salford Towa Council was also held daring the morning fora similar purpose to this, at which E. R LANOWORTHY, Esq., the Mayor et Salford, presided, and in opening the business said—that the question on which they were sesembled was interesting to all. The visit of Lord John Rowell was understood to be strictly private, but he had consented to receive addresses both from the eorpora tions of Salford and Manchester; though the mode in which these addresses was to be presented was afterwards to be arranged. He (the mayor) had enamored to trams the address from Salford, with a view to the exclusion of every thing which might lead to difference of opinion, and yet to express all that the members of the corporation might be supposed to feel for his lordship as a man of high principle. Mr. C. GIBSON (town clerk) then read the address, which was agreed to neanissouely; and after a deputation had been appointed to wait epos his lordship in order to ascertain when it would be most convenient for him to re- Wee the address, the council dissolved. Lord and Lady Russell were abroad this morning at an early boar visiting the principal inanufactorlee and other places of note in the neighbourhood. The party consisted of Sir Benjamin Heywood and his noble visitors, with the addition of Mr. Percival Heywood, Mrs. P. Heywood, Miss Heywood, and Mr. Russell; and one of their that visite was to the large iron works of Mews. Na myth and Osekell, at Patricroft, when the company were set down soon after 10 o'clock. They were received at the principal 'stream by Messrs. Nasayth and Waken in wises, and were sonducted by these gentlemen sad Mr. Terris their manager ' to witness the principal promises of naaehiOnmaking and other manufactures for which thee., works are noted.

THE GORHAM. CASE. TO TRII LORD 1/11101. OF RINTIR. Right Reverend Father,—Taking it for granted that you expect the clergy of your dines' will to the utmost of their power follow your example in all things, I have eonsidered Itsy duty now to address you and ma my supe rior, not property acquainted with the duties of your high station and the responsibilities attached to it, to reprove, to correct, to admonish, and to lean and give you understand ing reepeeing those duties and those responsibilities. I should have considered it right in the first instant*, with every sentiment of respect and humility, to have wa it e d oaiou personally, to have submitted to you my d ou bt s an d difficulust, and is the true spirit of our holy religion, by mutual friendly communion, have endeavoured to quiet my scruples, and calm my apprehensions. This I should hav e considered my duty to you as my superior ; but this would have been so contrary to your precepts and example, that I am forced to the necessity of thus publicly condemning your sentiments and conduct in every particular, to denounce, them in the face of the well!, to put forced and unfavoura ble ormetruetions in every possible way, and to abuse sad vilify you to the utmost stretch of my imagination. This is what you have done with your Metropolitan, and I must follow your example. You have quoted in your own way from the archbishop's writings. Were Ito do the same from yours, what could I not lay before you to make a bishop blush ? But y ou h ave laboured in vain. Oar ordination does not oblige us, nor do we by that proles the belief, you would force upon us. The only mention of the subject in the Articles, to which we all subscribe, is in the 27th, and is es follows: "The baptism of young children h in anywise to be retained in the church, as most agreeable with the institution of Christ." These ar. tittles were composed by much wiser an: more Christian heads than yours, my lord, and the 6th article says, " Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation, so that whatsoever is not read therein, and may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any mut that it should be believed as an article of the faith, or be thought necessary to salva.ion." And I defy you to find a seatence in the Holy Scrirtuse that determine, the effect of infant baptism. Nor does oar rubric aflinn say necessity for our belief in its effect Al in any wise necessary to the child's salvation. Had you wished to have convinced the archbishop, and to bricg forward fairly and in telligibly before the church what you profess to be FO arxious about, you might in the space of oce page have laid before them all that the Scripture, and the Prayer-book contain on the subject ; but that did not suit your purpose. Your aim has evidently been to confuse acd confound the subject, and for that purpose you have spun out full ninety times more than was necessary , words of insolent abuse, alike dogeaceful to yourself, and unworthy the high character of the object of your insult. I now wish to direct your attention to certain parts of the Book of Common Prayer, to which you have declared your " unfeigned assent and consents;" but which, in your anxiety to establish what is ancertain, you have either overlooked or disregarded. The 37th Article says : " The Queen's Msjesty bath the chief power in this realm over all estates, whether they be ecclesiastical or civil; and she shall rule all estates and degrees committed to her charge by God, whether they be ecclesi,stical or temporal, and restrain with the civil sword the stubborn and evil doers." When you "assented and urasented " to this article, was it unfeigned ?—end have you ever contemplated the pewee of the " evil sword ? " The prayer tor the whole state of Christ's Church contains one beresching the Almighty to inspire the church with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord, and to defend especially Victoria our ,Queen, that under her .we may be godly and quietly governed ; and in the Litany to be delivered from all sedition, heresy, and schism. Your attempt in the exposure you have made of yourself is certainly calculated to promote heresy and schism, as well as to disturb unity and concord ; and the attack upon the Queen's an. premary appears a little beyond sedition : rebellion would be more applicable. It reminds us of Sacheverell's sermon at St. Paul's, of which 40,000 copies were sold as fast as they scald be printed, calculated to produce another high church riot. You have laid a tax aeon curiosity. Your publisher understands what the commodity will fetch. As I for the information it contains, or the good it will do, too odd sixpence would have been ample; but whatever the aim, we shall hope the proceeds will be disposed of in charity. Unhappily when a point of religion is contested there are numbers of enthuriserual acd weak-minded people, who without thought or reflection on the consequences, engage in the contest. This has been the case is the present instance. Your noise has aroused spirits of this description, who are adding to your clamour, and greatly injuring the interests of the church you profess so much anxiety for. You have attempted an additional article to the church's creed, and your attempt is abortive. While I profess my own belief in the certain salvation of the child, I most un• hesitatingly declare I can Clad no warrant for it either in the scriptures or the rubric. My belief will not make that salvation more certain, neither will the doubts of others make it lees. You have no power or right to control either. I will now turn to St. Paul, whose authority, I tract, may be considered equal to that of a Bishop of Exeter's. His solemn injunctions to his Christian converts are as follows: " Let every s earl be subject to the higher powers; the powers that be are ordained of God; whosoever, therefore, n tisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God, and they that resin shall receive to themselves damnation." " A bishop must be blameless, of good behaviour, apt to teach, not a brawler !" . . Wien we read these injunctions to the church, we feel astonished at your lordship's bang seated on the reverend bench. In this publication you have set all rale and decency at defiance. Your only aim appears to be notoriety and martyr dom, It is the fervent prayer of every loyal subject and true friend of the church that your wishes may be Indulged, and that our graeious Queen will convince you that " she bolds not the sword in vain," but will apply it la a way that shall be fully admonitory to yourself, and a proper wanting to all future Bishops of .Exeter. You have lived a ble of contention, and to your last hour you will continue in it. A VICAR IN YOUR DIOCESE. THE GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION OP 1851. Yesterday a numerous and inguentia meeting of the fobs bitants of Windsor and Eton took place in the Guildhall of Windsor, for the purpose of taking steps to co-operate with her Majesty's Commissioners in the promotion of the exhi bition of the works of Industry of all nations, The mayor was in the chair, end the vicar, Rev. Dr. Rawtrey (Head Master of Eton College), Rev. J. Cookeeley, &e., took part in the prat:sodium. Resolutions expressive of approval of the intended exhiblilen were adopted, and several of the principal residents of the two towns having been constituted as a cJuantittee ' the meeting broke up. The subscriptions announced by tit) mayor amounted to between 2001. and 3001. --; i'NE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANT.—A correspondenoe between t►e lion. H. H. Sibley, delegate from Mineeota to Congress, and the lion. J. M. Clayton, Secretary of State, relative to the trade in spiritous liquors carried on with the Indians on the north-western frontier of the territory by the Hudson's Bay Company, has been published. Mr. Sibley complains that this British company sells liquors to the Indians who hunt In the United States territory. He asks that the matter be brought to the notice of the British government. Mr. Clayton replies, under date of Decem ber 11, three days 'Ler the date of Mr. Sibley's letter, that the United States minister in London has been instructed to address a remonstrance to the British government on the subject. —Americas Paper, quoted by the Toronto Globe, Feb. 28. _ - --- SECOND PURCHASE OF LAND BY THE NATIONAL FILIZMOLD LAND infollned, *lt Ulla moiety has secured for its members the power to appropriate another freehold agate, constants of about 15 acres of excel lent building ground adjoining the town of Kingston-upon- Thames, at a shed distance from the river and within easy reaoh of Mimosa Perk. The surrounainr land is well covered, sad reoldroome are in good deman d. The estate almost adjoins the shuroh, sad hes a oonsiderable frontage on the high road to London ; and it is calculated that this purchase will be the means of adding nearly 100 more votes to the register for But Surrey. This looks like real progress in the work of self-enfranchisement. If this operation be repeated (ea we undentand it is likely to be) about ones a month, no tailgate, will be long able to resist the just sad growing demand for electoral reform. ABOLITION OF PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.—A pre liminary meeting was held on Monday the Ist Menai, at Cambridge, bythe opponents of the panishmeat of death, to take into coNsideration the expediency of convening a public meeting for the purpose of petitioning the mown I. spare the lives of Loess and Mary Reader.

It most be understood that the Track Act expressly pro hibit' the ironmasters, being smaaistratio, or any other persons being magistrates who are in any way connected with them, from sitting to adjudicate fa eases where =for =otiose are laid under this act; the necessity fur this pro. hibition will of course be apparent, the iromnasters them selves being the mast scandalous oftenden under this statute. Whilst, however, there is this prohibition against the per petration of injustice, there is scarcely any provision whit e's, by which the suffering parties may obtain justice, as will presently be shown. The act prescribes that informa tions are not to be heard before less than two magis trates; now in this district, large and populous as It is, there is a single stipendiary to, and three-fourths of the remaining county magistrates being disqualified from sitting, couplet with a tolerably good understanding, on the part of the other section, that It would be inconvenient for them to attend when tack cases are likely to oome on, there is no means whatever by which the poor miners—sufferer, to an enormous extent—can obtain redress. They club their monies together, incur con siderable expense io getting up the informations to bring before the magistrate", and, on the day of the justices meet ing, get only the atlafection of being t o ll th a t th e i r cue cannot be heard—that, in fact, in this densely po pulated district two qualified magistrates cannot be induced to attend. Altogether, the proceedings to-day were of so extraordinary a character, that I shall, in order to make them better understood, narrate them u they occurred. The magistrates present were John Leigh, Esq. (etipen. diary), and Mr. John Bark e r, front:outer. There were two sets of information to come before the court : the first being for the ions of illegal cheques—that is, for a less value than 20s. each—by Messrs. Cresswell and Bon, of Tipton ; and the second for infringement of the Truck Act, by some other party. The first charge Mr. Barker could properly tit and adjudicate upon ; en the second set of informations he was disqualified. The sequel will, however, I think, show that this gentleman was present with another view. Ikkito•L Cnrclusa.—Mr. Duignan, so!icitor (addressing the bench), said—l appear to support informations laid against Messrs. Cromwell and Son, of Tipton, under the at; of 43 Geo. 111., for issuing cheques to their workmen on bankers for a less amount than Ws. Mr. Barker (magistrate)-ob, they must be put off; Mr. Bolton, who is for the defendants, can't be here today. Mr. laigruin—But I d. übt whether the application for adjournment is made in good faith ; the defendants, finding that Mr. Balton had a main:twos to go to thoncester mains, retained hint in order that the cases might not be brought on to-day. Mr. Barker (interropting)--We can't hear you on the point; the cues must stead over. Mr. Duignan—But it is important that I should be heard. We have a great number of cues , and the act of parliament expressly provides that they shall be adjudicated upon within twenty days from the time of their being laid. If we go on adjourning they will fall to the ground, and my clients, who are complaining of a great wrong, will have to pay all the expenses, beside, an absolute denial of justice. Mr. Barker—We have a letter from Mr. Bolton to say that he cannot attend, therefore it's of no use arguing the matter. The cases most stand over. Mr. Duignan—l say that Otis application is not made in good faith; that it ought not to be entertained here, inas much as the ground on which it is made would no; be suffi cient to get a trial postponed in a superior court. Magistrate—l hope you don't mean to ineiauste that Mr. Bolton has said what is untrue. The cases must stand over. Call on something else. And the cues were adjourned ; and the poor men who hod clubbed their money and summoned their witnesses, and fee.; their attorney, had to submit to all this delay because an attorney was out of the way. INFRINOZMENT OF FRS TRUCK Acv.—ln this use the intorenation was under the act of 1 & 2 William IV., o. 117, kaowa as the Truck Act. Mr: iltnoncisTl747l3lrminghant (addressing the bench) said—l shall be glad to know what is to be done in this case —in fact there are nine or ten of them. Mr. Lcigh (magistrate)—There is only one magistrate present, therefore they cannot be besrd. They must be postrined. Mr. Edmonds—l think there ought to be some better ar rangement when such cases are coming on. I never re member a postponement to suit the c3rvenience of 012 prose. cutors of these offences. Magistrate—The parties concerned should look up magis trates to attend in these cases ; I shag not interfere strain ; I have several times before tried to get together a sufficient bench. Mr. Edmonds—l say that properly qualifitd magistrates are bound to attend; they have undertaken duties, and ought to perform them; nay, more sir, it is a scandalous thing that lustier is defeated by their non-attendance; and if we have the same difficulty in future, I will apply to the S<cretary of State on the subject. But, sir, there must be something grievously wrong somewhere, for the defendant's solicitor yesterday presumed to write to my witnesses and inform them that this case would not be called on today ; I my that that is a gross contempt of this court. The Magistrate did not reply to this, but ordered the cue to be postponed. The following is a copy of the letter which the defendant's solicitor address. d to toe complainant's wit nesses the day pin to the mazistrates' meeting : have written to Mr. Leigh (stipendiary magis trate), to postpone all the truck cases in which I am con cerned, as I am obliged to go to Gloucester Assizes; Mrs. handing (defendant) will therefore not attend. I shall let Mr. Edmonds know.—l am, &c., THOMAS BOLTON. The foregoing will show the difficulty in which tilese poor miners are placed ; the object seems to be to weary them out by procrastination and heavy law expenses ; their only hope of redress is by the aid of the press and the intervention of the Lord Chancellor. BREWERS' AND DISTILLERS' CLERKS ANNUITY Fr/SD 90cisTY.—A meeting of the members and committee of management of the above institution, founded in 1840, for granting annuities to the widows and orphans of mem bers was held on Tuesday, at the New Corn Exchange Coffee-house, Mark•lane, City, for the transaction of gentral business, Mr. F. Earle, president, in the chair. The annual statement was of a moot satisfactory character, the an nuitants at present on the funds consisting of eight widows And twelve children. The capital of the society invested with the commissioners for vie reduction of the national debt was 4,217/. 14s. 9d. ; in the hands of Main. Barelsy, Perkins, and Co., 5001; and Mresra. Truman, Hanbury, and Co., 5001. The balanocsheet Allured the receipt. from all sources, including last year's balance of 981. 50. 7d., a t 5121. lfie. Ild. The expenditure, including 1961. 7s. 61. paid to annuitants, left a balance in hand of 2331.8 e. 9d. The report concluded by expressing a hope that many more members might be induced to join the society, thereby milting provision for their widows and children. _ - REMOVAL OF GOODS COASTWISE UNDER BOND.— The revenue authorities having considered the operation of an experimental measure recently ordered, viz. that all goods in packages, with the exccptiou of tobacco, wines, and epirito, and goods removed coastwise under bond, should be racorded short on the debit side of the warehousekeeper's resister, and the details of the delivery marked off in the landing books, according to • new form, and reserving for consideration whether any sufficient 1,1101111 exist for exempt ing goods removed coastwise from the operation of the system, and whether any alteration of the books in ufe may be de sirable—the authorities have directed that the regulations established by the order alluded to be continued, and ex tended to all dry goods, except tobacco, removed coastwise under bond, subject to the following modification, viz.: In instances when it is specified in the entry that the duty ogle goods removed coastwise is to be paid upon the dispatch weight (an examination suf f icient to test the description of the articles being made previously to their being re-warehoused) and the gross, tare, and net weight of each entry be recorded by the officers in the official landing books; and in all cases of the removal of dry goods (tobacco excepted) under bond, in which the number of packages dots not exceed 30, the examination— re-weighing when necessary—and the locker's receipt be shown on the dispatch, thereby dispensing with a lauding bock, boik, the spesifio weight of each package being recorded is the warehouse registers to govern the deliveries. The am thoritin, howrnr, leave it to the discretion of the principal warehouse officers at the several outports to enter the par titulars of all dry goods, except tobacco, more fully into the registers than is bereinbefers directed, if they shall find such practice more convenient and more conducive to accuracy and dispatch, the object being, by these regulations, to lessen labour and afford the readiest reference and facility to business. DID Till RESULT JUSTIFY Trill MEANS ?—Dow. adorable interest was excited on the Wait Cliff, Brighton, on Saturday morning by the hazardous, and, as it fortu nately resulted, successful endeavours of the customs Mikan to obtain possession of some tubs of contraband spirits seen floating at sea. The wind blowing strongly inland, and there being a surf swill as Is oocasionally witnessed on the beach, it became • matter of great difficulty to launch • boat. The Coast Guard, who were present with their galley, declined to make the attempt. Mr. Ansel', the principal officer of customs, by promise of reward, induce-I • crew from the beach to scoompony him, awl Gibbs, one of his boatmen, succeeded in getting a boat through the breakers, and after much difficulty obtained possession of four tubs of spirits of brandy. In returning to shore the grew had a very narrow escape from drowning. Fortunately, owing to good seamanship, the only inconvenience was a good dubbing b a sea making a eleu breach over them.— Brig _ Noawmax Ice.—The vessel Flora, which has arrived in the river iron Larpebor i g hu brought 450 tons weight of ice, consigned to order. This is tha third or worth arrival of a similar nature which has taken place dating the past week hos Norway. STEAM POWER IN AGRICULTURE. Oa Thursday evening last Mr. Mechi addressed a large company at the Coggesball Mechanics' lentitu'n, On the necessity and advantage of applying steam power to agri culture." The lecturer, amongst wher thioes, remarked— The general application of steam is agriculture involve' a thorough change and reformation of our farming "viten. It is a question of more capital and less lead, both for landlord and tenant; It is a question of abolition of men of straw,and Isubstitution of men of capital. Ina word, the employment of steam power in amienelture will compel o r induce a larger employment of labour and production of food. Drainage, deeper cultivation, open &los, good roads, better huildirgs, more livestock, and less weeds, must and will be the concomitants of agricultural steam power, for item power means amendment and progression. Steam will do on a farm that which horses cannot do. Steam has already dose something for agriculture. That vut expanse of swamps end bogs, the safe and solitary subagent' the snipe, the duck, and the bittern—l mean the greet Bedford Level—presents now • dry and rich extant of corn, of roots, and of stock. Tatra is no doubt but ultimately we shall aToll ourselves of steam for irrigation, in our warm and dry districts for sum mer green erope. Ultimately the power of steam will be applied to the working and stirring of the soil; already many experimental trials have taken place. One thing is quite certain--that the general application of steam power in cultivation will necessitate such a squaring and levelling and reparcelling of the soil as will thoroughly reform the bedge-and-ditch.row-ism and topography of this kingdom. It will equally compel a reformation and re adjustment of the system of transfer or exchange of land, which should cluinga hands as easily as the Three per Cunt. Consols. A farm of 600 acres should represent a square mile with a far mer, in its centre, having half a mile divergi :g roads to Its extremities ; whereas now, under the lust( m of old custom and unalterability, a farm of that sirs generally involves the intri cate SthreadWg of miles of almost impels - Joie green and muddy lames, with fields of every form except the right one. I am enabled to form a correct comparative estimate of the relative power of horses snd steam, because, unfortunately, my first attempt was with six real horses—the remembrance of that great mistake awakens many unpleasant sod unpro fitable reflections. The mere working space required for the six horses is three times as great as that nece•sary for the engine and boiler—to say nothing of the stalls, attendance, and food. Heroes, when not at work, must he fed and at tended to, even on Sundays; wh esteem engine may be rested days or weeks without cost or injury. If a steam horse cost, only 251., it is quite clear that it is in first cost, power, maintenance, and durability, more alvantsgeous than a real hone; besides if you feed it well with coals and water, you may work it all night as well as all day. The cost of a 6.borse power engine, best wrought boiler; fixing shaft, brickwork, &c. ; pair of mill &View, gear ing, and miller's tools; Turner and Hurwood's linseed crasher and gearing; pump and gearing; sock tackle and gearing; threshing machine and gearing;'nutters, do.; e.rrseing machine and gear ; chtff tuner sod gear ing; grindstone and gearing; amounts to 4V1., and the daily charge is for— Coals (half atria) 6O 10 0 Miller and engine-driver, both combined in one man Sperm oil, rags, candles, packing, &c.

My agreement with my miller is to work later if required. So that we could, if nece•s,ry, do much more at a trifling increase of fee!. T^.e daily charge for fuel depends on a variety of circumstances, such as the price of coa's and the quantity of work done in a given time; mice of G-horse power Silvan with great rapidity (about 92revolutions per minute) consumes, in the 10 working hours, nearly half a ton of coals. They are the large Blyth coals, which ecst me, including carats o an farm, Ise. Gd. per ton. Tho quantity of work dose by this engine is much mare than ten hones could possibly uccora• plash.

(Hear, hear.) Bat even if, inn's: of 111. 4d. daily gain, we only conducted our basineas at the ordinary omit, still there would be an immense conveniesim in Lein g able to do everything our own way, and at th e right time, without cartage to mill and the uncertainties of supply. Steam will have the effsct cr dinsiairdng the extent of land in grass. Same isrmers would stare with disbelief if you told them that it was easy to keep working horses in good order without hay, but I can assure them it is quite possible to do so, pro vidtd we allow item a sufficiency of meal with th-ir cut straw chaff, and add a little linseed coup to :t. The same reloads applies to feeding cattle. The fa cili.y of cutting straw into chaff and grinding corn into meal by steam power will convince lanolords, and tenants I too, that the poor grass lands will be inure .idvantagtously converted into good corn and root growing arable !and. The Scotch system of two years grass for rest will natu rally give way to the improved method of olstaininc abund ant manure by purchased corn on bearded doors, or under sheds. A CLERGYMAN ELECTING lIIMSELF Cll it- WaRDEN.—At a meeting, held in the vestry of the perish of Saint Gilt", in the City of Durham, on Tuesday, to appoint officers for the parish for the ensuing year, the Rev. Francis Thompson, incumbent, in •he chair, the chairman stated, that u he had the power to no minate • churchwarden by law, and that u he had nayer been able to appoint one that gi,ve him satisfac tion in the discharge of the duties of the office, he wculd nominate and elect himself. The meeting protested against such appointment as being inconsistent with his other chores to the parish, and nominated two inhabitants to fill the tfice. The rev. Chairmen would only put one of the pee-- Bone nominated to the choice of the meeting, and the other as an amendment. The parishioners listed cn electing both, if the Chairman refused to appoint a parishioner as usual.

Ou the 25th of January last, a girl, named Elizabeth Wilson, in the service of Mr. Birbok, Fannel.street, abseonthel from his house, taking with her a gold lever watch and guard chain. Mr. Birbeck gave information to the police, and Mr. Betwick ceased a notice of the robbery and a description of the girl to be in serted in the Hue and Cry. A few days since the prisoner, who answered to a great extent the description of the girl, made a statement at the town of Roscommon, before the Hon. Martin French, R.M., county magistrate, to the effect that she was the person mentioned in the Hue and Cry as having stolen the watch. She said she gave it to a girl named Rose Malone, who pawned it in Gaol street, Dublin, for St., which they equally divided. They separated at Mullingu. Her deposition, signed by Mr. French, was transmitted to Mr. Beswick, who sent sub inapector M•Donald over to Ireland for the prisoner. The I officer took her to Mullingar, but she refused to show him where she lodged with Rose Malone on the night previous to their separation. Oa arriving at Dublin, he was unable to find any Gaol-street, or any such watch as that stolea, although he went to thirty-two pawnbrokers, and got them to look through their stocks. When brought to Manchester, it was discovered that the prisoner was nut the Elizabeth Wilson mentioned. Atter stating the above facts, Mr. Bee wick added that the prisoner, some time since, lived in Little Ireland, and hawked articles for sale. She saved autlicient money to take her to see her parents at Reb.:01111a011; but, finding that she was unable to get as much money there as in Manchester, she took this step to get haek again, having no money to pay for her passage from Ireland. She had thus put the prosecutor to the expense at 14. He believed that the line and Cry was exposed in some parts of Ire land, and he had no doubt she had seen one before she went to give herself into custody.—The prisoner, who, in answer to Mr. Maude, said that her name was Elizabeth Wilson. was discharged.
