Berreberreet. by Tye wog es dr My of pedilerdr. lava •• m••••o. m. ••••—• • £o7ooll r a4cipiDAT, 042103.13 IS. We are shut to make an applaud le the orentry gentlemen of the United Kingdom. Ws are not going to invite them to ante into any emabinatios for the overthrow of the existing Governmeat. Our *blest is not political, bat rarsly social. It is a mat ter of peat Wares** to us--and to th* peat ma jority of th* people in this coontry—whetber or not Mr. Dist= has had an interview with Mr. GLAD STONE, has coalemed with Mr. Bllallt or has added another hair-brained freak to the theme* and ow mosntrioitise of his political Gamer. What wo ask of our landowner—from the proprietor of dooming extending as far es the eie can reach, to the humble possessor of a hw Beres of British soil—is to spend a little mom thus than they seem inclined to do upon their *statist, and to divots themselves, heart and soul, to improving the condition et their labourovs. We Sr. very glad to see them in London for two or throe months in the year. By all means, Ist them have their "season". For no consideration would we de prive them of their annual visit to the metropolis ; 1 bat we should like to see their time of maidenes here eartailed. The otountry, not London, is ask home t they will find _there . ne leek occupation, the work lOU multiply on their hands ; and —if we may be exemed for , resorting to so sordid an argument in presence of the high-could and self-forgetting men who own the soil on which we tread—they will find it very much to their own advantage to fbllow our advice. Improve the condition of your labourers, and you will improve the condition of your estates. Our attention has been called to this subject by an admirable speech delivered the other day by the Earl of LILICLVIZZ, to the members of the Dorking Agri cultural Association. That nobleman tells us that agricultural associations are all very well in their way ; that a certain amount of good is achieved by offering rewards for the encourage ment of labourers; bet that, after all, the real work must be done " first by the owner of the cottage In which the labourer resides, and next by the occupier of the land on which he is employed." It is no ex aggeration to say that, even in this year 1866, in these days of political, social, edocatiooal, and every other kind of reform, the condition of our agricultural population is a disgrace to the noble lords and fine gentlemen who think that the whole duty of the British landowner consists in spending his rent-roll, while he leaves his tenants and labourers to the tender mercies of his steward. Only look at the cottages in which many of our hardworksd farm labourers are doomed to spend their days. According to our modern notions of civilisation they are not fit for human beings to live in. They are as bad as anything that can be found in the most wretched quarters of this metro polis. The evil is as enormous, and the excites is wanting. It ie next to an impossibility to improve the condition of our monster cities in proportion to our desires, or the emergency of the case., But, surely, it is within the power of a landed proprietor to take oare that the human beings whom be pays to till his soil, on whose Woos he depends, shall not be condemned to live in hovels. The evil of years cannot, of course, be re medied in a day. It will require a certain length of time and no inconsiderable amount of expenditure to accomplish all that could be desired in this respect. The example, however, has already been set, here , and there, by more than one wealthy landowner, and we hope that it will be speedily followed in every county in the land. It is the mare necessary to insist upon this because it is admitted on all hands that improvement in the physical condition of the poor must form the ground work of every other improvement. Leta man live in • hovel—let him be surrounded by filth—let him be a stranger to conveniences which once were luxuries bet now are necessaries, and you may despair of trying to ameliorate his condition in any other m oppet. Cleanliness, some one said, is next to godli ness. We should rather say that • man who lives in dirt has no chance whatever of attaining to the condition of a moral and intellectual being. He may dig, and plough, and go through his daily task like a horse or a machine; but a brute he is, and a brute he will remain. We are far from wishing to arouse any morbid sympathy in behalf of the agricultural population. We do not wish to set class against class, nor to libel the Bridal landowner by describing him as an op prusive tyrant, or an inhuman monster who cares not for the present or future good of the labourers in his employment. But we do say that many of his class may justly be charged with gross and suicidal ne glect of the human beings to whom they certainly owe some duties beyond that of paying their wages. We annot expect these poor creatures to help themselves. The example meet be set by those above them. The other day Lord Malatesta told the labourers in hie employment that drunkenness was the real source of a large proportion of the crime committed in this country. The Earl of Lalcuma myth "One of the groat evils we have to contend against is the vice of drunkenness. Assn employer, I find that I can deal with men so long as they are not given to drunken ness." For further testimony to the truth of these statements we have only to road the charges dell_ vend at every •seise that is held. Our Judges are all unanimous on this point. And yet, what can we ex pect P What efforts doss the landowner make to pre vent his labourers from contracting habits of drunken- Rees? In how many cuss doss he look at them in any other light but that of tillers of the soil P In how many villages is there any other place of resort for the farm labourer bat the publio-house ? What inducements are held out to him to spend the few hours he can snatch from his daily work in any nobler occupation than that of swilling beer ? The truth is that the muter does not take a sufficient interest in the well-being of his servants. So long as the work is done, he cares too little about the labourers, forgetting all the while that " a good master makes • good man,' and that the quality of the work depends on the quality of the workman. At all events, it is much more agreeable to think that ones fields are ploughed and one's seed nattered in the ground by human beings with whom one has established higher relations than those which subsist between man and the brute trea ties. As for edeeatieg an adult labourer, the attenipt would probably be hopeless. But that only makes it the mere incumbent on as to take are that the next ',Reredos of farm labourers shall be better than the present on.. If we despair of dole" much in the way of intelleeteal advasument for the 1/1161 01Pmat ' TEST (Thal ♦ WRIT IND We believe that there is no doubt of the feet that General Simplon hoe resigned his ootamand in the V. 4.,., ad reemameeded General Eyre as his sae. meow.

The (Gazelle de Lawns'se relates the following on the authority of an eye witness : The Russian Ambusador, Baron de Kradener, M. Proles, gunsmith, and one of the workmen of the latter, 'embarked on the 7th at Vevey for VIII , to make experiments with a new carbine, invented by our fellow-titian, and which attracted attention at a recent meeting of officers at Moudon. When the party had arrived at the plain of Villenueve, a distance of 4,060 feet was measured by the ambassador himself, and a lurk having been set up, M. Proles pro- Deeded to fire at it, the ambassador observing each shot through a glue. Eleven shots out of twelve struck the mark ; the ambassador was greatly pleased, and be returned to Vevey is the evening with the inventor. It is to be re gretted that the two delegates, who were Ist/1y charged by the Federal military department to cu mine this weapon, did so only superficially, without ascertaining its power and precision.

THE CRIMEA. Yesterday's Coustilwrionowl, speaking probably on good authority, says that, according to a letter from Bunion* of Sept. 9, it was expected that in two days' time three floating batteries, each carrying thirty-six guns, woald open a fire against the north side of the harboar. The King and Queen of Prussia have returned to Berlin. M. Manteuffel went as far as Magdebourg to meet their Majesties. The other members of the Cabinet, who thought they might temporarily absent themselves from the capital, hays ali returned. It is said that the Bing has deferred the visit which he had intended to make to Btodgert, to see the Ling of Wurtsmberg. A letter from Berlin, of the 9th, states that the results of 160 Onions were known up to that date, and that about two-thirds of them were ministerial; so that the check of the government at Berlin was amply compensated for by its success in the pro vinces.

THE WEST AFRICA MAILS. PLYMOUTH, Ocr. 12. The Retriever steamer arrived to-day with mails from Africa. She brings 22 passengers, 2,700 ounces of gold, and a general cargo. Her dates are—Fernando Po, Sept. 3 ; Accra, 10; Liheria,l6; Sierra Leone, 20, Ooree, 2b; Madeira, Oct. 4. No further disturbances had occurred at Bathurst. The rebela were quiet, and Governor O'Connor had returned to Bt. Mary's. A serious collision had taken place at Bonny between two parties of natives, in consequence of a suspicion entertained by the friends of the late Bing Dappo that he had been poisoned by two chiefs, adherents of the ex- King Peppo. The ex-King's party succeeded in keeping at bay for three days the entire strength of Bonny, and at last blew themselves up, killing be tween 400 and 500, only five of the people escaping uninjured. The injury to property, including some belonging to English traders, is very considerable. In consequence of the representations of the traders, her Majesty's ship Philomel had proceeded to the scene of the disturbances. Abd-el-Hader arrived at Marseilles on Sunday evening.

It appears bon the Bank returns, that the metallic rneervelbesqleclined in Paris 26j millions, and in the branch banks not lass than 31 millions, or the large amount of 68f millions in all. The discount soma-' "iodation has increased - 26 millions in Paris, afill - 27 millions in the provinces. Advanoes on French securities show an augmentation of 2 mil lions in Par* and one of half a million in the departments. Advances on railway securi ties hays declined 9 millions in Paris, and half a million in the branch bank'. On the side of the liabilities, the amount of notes in circulation has been rechieed 6 millions in Paris, and 3 millions in the departments. The account current of the Treasury has fallen off 29f millions. Private accounts current have increased 281 millions in Paris, and 2 millions in the provinces. The whole amount of the metallic reserve is at present 232} millions, to 649 j millions , of notes in circulation. Although the continuous drain of bullion that has been going on all the month was known, and its effect on the market might consequently have been thought to have been discounted, the official ki of the very large decrease (66k miUiona) in the metallic reserve had a very depressing influence at the Bourse, and, although Como!" were telegraphed with a rise of 11, the Rents was languid throughout the day. It was thought that there must be some mistake in the London quotations, as it is difficult to suppose that the fact of the Bank directors having mpg ' rated without again raising the discount could have occasioned so great an improvement — and no other cause is suggested. The rumour which I mentioned yesterday, that the Bank of France had not made any change in their terms of accommodation, turns out to be true; but it is the general belief that they have merely postponed a decision till next week, on account of the difficulty of the subject, and a considerable difference of opi nion in the management. It was suggested on 'Change that a great part of the 100 millions of gold lately purchased for the account of the Bank does not figure in the last returns, and therefore it is hoped the position of the Bank may be better than it appears to be. There was a vague rumour towards the close of business of some extraordinarily-good political news, and for a few momenta there was a brisk up- ward movement, bat it soon subsided. The Rente, after being quoted for an instant at 64fr. 55c., dropped to 64fr. 40e., and closed at that price, with a fall of sc. Bank of France fell 25fr. In railways there was very little business done. Austrians were scarcely quoted. Most of the French lines fell from 2fr. 50c. to 51r. Count d'Arjasoa, Chamberlain, and Lieutenant- Colonel the Marquis de Toolongeon, Orderly Officer to the Emperor, went yesterday to Valenciennes, to receive the Dub and Duchess de Brabant. Their Royal Highnesses arrived at the Northern Railway terminus in Paris at four this afternoon. Prince Napoleon was there to receive them, and accompanied them to St. Cloud. The reports in the legal journals of the progress of the trial of the Angers insurgents are exceedingly curious. At the sitting of the Court on Wednesday the Procureur-General read the following anonymous letter which he had received : Citigen,—The reading of the act of accusation drawn up by you in the affair of the Marianne has caused us all most profound indignation. You may rest usuritd that on the first opportunity I and mine will not overlook you. The Direetorof the Marianne for the Maine and Loire. The letter wu signed with an illegible name, and adjoining the signature wu a triangle, the ordinary emblem of the Marianne. Several letters written by the prisoners to their friends had been seized, and were read. One of them, addressed to the writer's wife, told her to be comforted; that he should be condemned; but that he would certainly not remain in prison six months. By this he meant to say that there would be a revolution before that time. Several respectable persons, one of whom was an ex-mayor, gave many of the prisoners excellent characters. There is no doubt that the Marianne, and similar societies, give the Government great uneasiness. I am informed that there are at this moment in the hands of the Minister of the Interior no less than 72 reports from Prefects and other authorities in the departments, containing details of discoveries of revolutionary conspiracies. " We understand;' says the Semaphore of Mar seilles, "that the Sultan, u a mark of acknowledg ment for the excellent arrangements made in this port for sending off troops to the Eut, has conferred the decoration of the order of Medjidjie on General de Rostolan, commander of the 9th military division, on the Marquis de Crevecomr, Prefect of the Boucher du-Rhone, and on M. de Cambia, military intendant." The steam-frigates Caffarelli and Eldorado left Marseilles on the 10th for the Black Sea, the former with 600 men on board, and the latter with 500. A vessel, called Marie Jeanne, arrived at Rouen on Wednesday from Algiers, with 2,000 hectolitres; of wheat. This is the first cargo of Algerian wheat imported direct into the north of France, and other arrivals are expected. The Salta Public of Lyons of yesterday says:— "Several pieces of cannon taken in the Malakoff Tower, and sent to the lovalides at Paris by Marshal Perissier, are expected here to•day or to-morrow by rail way." Tbesoldiere of the Camp of Sathooy, near Lyons, have established a theatre, somewhat in the same manner as the Zonaves of the Army of the East; and three evenings ago the officers of the 4th Regiment of the Line gave a grand dramatic and musical performance, to which they invited 1,600 of the principal inhabitants of the city. In addition to pieces of music executed by the regimental band, and the singing of comic and other songs, a comedy called the Poete et le Speculoteur, in one act, aad a burlesque tragedy entitled Cavaco lla, were performed with a good deal of comic talent and with immense success. All the persons invited came in full dress, and the toilettes of the ladies were sparkling with diamonds and other precious stones. A subscription was afterwards made on behalf of an institution for educating the daughters of soldiers, and a large sum was obtained. TRIAL FOR PROPAGATING FALSE NEWS IN PARIS. One Paris correspondent, writing on Thursday evening, aye: The trial of Bader for propagating the canard about the Cent Garde dring at the Emperor took plain to-day, and flameout to have been a very trivial affair.

NEW GRANADA. BOGOTA, kroner 6.

Tbs case involved equestioc of scone importance to farmen, whether the word (odd , '" grant merely " dry food " for cattle, which is exempted from toll under the act. The gatekeeper • young man of much in telligence, ho oonductad his , own case against Mr. IL Black fur the defendant, referred to Johnson and ether lexicographers for the interpretation of the word •• fodder, " and contended, according to three dictionaries, that itabbsra could sot be considered dry food. For the defence Bedell Dictionary wan quoted, and Bailey defines " fodder be " any kind of meat for cattle." Craig's Dictionary, of 1852, was also referred to; and that defines " fodder" to be " food, or dry food for cattle, horses, and sleep, u hay. straw, and other kinds of vegetables",! The msgistratre thought they ought to decide this question upon the broad grounds of common sense, sod that the cabbages foreird a part of fodder for cattle ; and therefore they di s missed tin ressmons.
