Some sharp remon strances were made by the legitimi s ts against this proceeding of the president. Tee groups cf the Assembly today were much taken up with thecomposition of the committee of 25, which is to a etch over parlisineutary jute r. sts during the prorogation. The great iaterest felt in this subject, and the weight attached to it, proves that the intentions of the executive are regarded with /teat jealousy. The report of M.

The arrival of a Russian ambassador at Path is spoken of again as a probable and a proximate event: A cabinet carioca was held this morning at the Elsie e, and commenced sitting as early as ten dole*. There was much talk yesterday at .Le National Assembly of propositions which were said to flaw been made to three general cfficers, to whom the poet of aideodocamp to the: resident of the Republic had been offered. It was stated that two nad accepted, and one refused the off-r. Among the firmer was mentioned the name of General Regnanit de Stint Jean d'Angely. This rumour, which was pretty generally credited at the Assembly, became the subject of much comment. Many declared that they c .uid not comprehend the affair, will, h resem bled an attempt at the formation of a mlilary house. The President of the Rep':blic is interdicted by the carstitution from commauding troops ; and the anomaly of his having general Akers for aides-de camp would give umbrage to all parties. Mlle.

TAM WORTH ELE' TION. The vacancy in the parliamentary repreerntation of this borough was filled up yesterday. Tie died Bir It abort Peel was by the UnlnitnitlS voice of theconstitueocy elected to fill the teat in the limes of Commons, whien has been occupied for so tong a period by his lather and grandfather. The election passed off in " dumb show." The towns people still sincerely sorrowing the loss they have sus Wiled in the death of their Iste representative, who has been to them and to their fine old town so large a bens factor, abstained from attending at this formal oeremonial of exercising their electoral franchise • and within the &ad ;vested and prim-looking town-hal: there were scarcely forty persons. To those present who could cast their mind beck upon former gatherings of this kind in this same place, the change Premed greet indeed. The time has not very long gone by since in this very ball were congregated on many en occasion the chiefs of the agricultural interest in the land—when l'S walls echoed with plaudits, and a crowded auditory ratio featly hung upon the sentiments as they fell from the lips of the great departed. There were a few present to-day who listened is this very plan in 1841 to the man•festo of the statesman upon whom the light of free trade hod not then dawned, as he likened himself to the physician whoa, time for preseriting had not arrived. A few minutes before 11 the ceremonial of election took place. Arriving at the Town Hall, the usual formularies were gone through, and then Sir Robert Peel was put in notaloation by the two gentlemen who at the last and pre ceding elections redeemed the same office for his father. The Mayor then raked if soy elector had any other can didate to promise, and there being no reel:irate, he declared Sir R.bert Peel elected to rerrc tent the borough in parlia ment, with the expression of a hope that he would prove a friend to the interests of this borough as his father bad done. No one appeared on behalf of Sir Itsbert Peel, and after Sir Chides Clarke had prop:ted a vote of thanks to the major, the proceedings krmiested. There is (rays our reporter) to be a meeting hell this even ing, for the ;turves of taking steps to get up a memorial in Tantworth to the late Sir Robert Peel. CITES lER ELECTION. Mr. Jervis, the son of the late Attorney-General, having retired from the field, the contest now lies between the lion. W. 0 Stanley on the Liberal interest, and the Conservative, Mr. C. B. Egerton. Mr. Stanley addressed the electors on Wednesday evening at the Hoye) Hotel, a vast concourse of pi noes (chiefly elec'ors) being present. Mr. Stanley observed that he we. not only of a Cheshire, but a Chester (Amity, which for centuries had dwelt witllin its wails His principles now were the same which had guided his conduct d -ring the ten 'man that he hod the honour of a seat in parliament, and they were those by which his public conduct would continue to be rs gulat d—that having given his support to the Liberal minis try in the advancement of retina, he would continue to do so, and would endeavour to his utmost to promote the cause of free trade, and the progress of civil and religious lioerty. With regard to the extension of the suffrage, he had always held that it should b considerably extended, but not uni. versa]. He was of opinion that every person entitled to Tote should have some stake in the country—that be should pos. sess, at least, soma small property or contribute something to taxation. With respect to the ballot, he would simply soy that he had already voted for the ballot in the House of Com mon.. With reference generally to the so moral of restric. tions on commerce he might any he was favourable • to free trade principles he we. always favourable. The o bnoxious cora laws had been repealed, and the poor urn's loaf was no longer taxed. There was, however, an attempt being made by the tory party to re organise a protectionist movement throughout the country, in order to retrace the free-trade policy; but to any and every such endeavour he would always lend a firm and most determined oppost.ion, and he would continue to put forth his best energies in repealing every tax that was felt to be oppressive to the working classes. Tne hon gentleman's ob AAAAA 6008 were not very length ened, but to the point. Mr. Stanley has met with the warm est reception ; for, although there is rather a sore feeling amongst some of Mr. Jervis's friends at the latter being obliged to retire, yet there seems every chance of Mr. Stan. ley's success at the poll. Mr. ',writ has taken his departure fur London, but, before he left, he addressed the electors, and exhorted them to unite heart and hand and return Mr. Stanley. Mr. Egerton has also been entertaining the electors by some *perches on prcreetnon to British industry. He has been to king a great deal about sores deception which had ben practised upon him to keep him away. He slid be merely heard in London on Friday night of the appointment of Bir John Jervis as Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. and was assured that the writ would not be issued be fore Wednesday. This had turned out to be a ruse, as the writ was issued on Saturday last, Sir Jona Jervis haying ac e.pted of the Chiltern Hundreds on Thursday night last.

ASTURIAN MINING CONPANT.-A redid general I mooting of this compiny was held Tester y. at the sem piny's offices. 9, Austin-friars; Mr. S. P. Pratt in the chain—The Chairman stated that the meeting was convened to submit to the shareholders the contract recently concluded between Mr. LiUo and this company, with the additional contract, the result of the nego.iations shies the last meeting on the 24th Wilkinson stated, with respect to the consignments which it was proposed to reserve for the *out play, 'hou made since the date of the contract (the 15th of Jane) were to belong to Mr. Grimaldi, he paying the 'spans from that date, and all prior consignments to the Asturian Compony. As to the preparation of the salutes, the majority of the two directive committees of the new 00mPeny lints to be consulted, and the 8,000 shares is the new company to be distributed to the Asturian holders were to be delivered when Messrs. Amory, Wilkinson ' and Gilles (whn were to be the trustees of the 20,0001. to faeprovided for the liquidation of the Asturian Company) should certify the application of the fund for the payment of the debts, and lastly the clause of asaalgamation was retained ; bat i nstead of deciding the question by a majority at a meeting of two thirds, it was changed to thresfoneths. After some d 1 cus sloe, a moieties' was adopted, the purport of which was, that the committee of investigation should make their report by the sth of August. A motion was made to allow 1,0001. or 6001. to the trustees as an acknowledgment for their trouble, bet the remonstrant s of several shaseholders against ouch a vote till their debts were paid, having pre veiled, it was withdrawn, and the thanks of the meeting having been given in the usual form to the chairman, the meeting separated. FIRE AND PROBABLE LOSS OF 'APR.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, information was received at the London fire-engine ovations that a fire had broken out is the extensive chemical masufeetory baboaging to Sir Wes.

Tire Pricca of Asturias, to whom the Queen gave birth yesterday, li fed oLly a few minutes, during whin the wee baptized. lie was as b'g .A a child of stz months old, fair, and very like his mo•.Ler. His appearacce was very healthy, and gave every promia of long life. His death is attribu'ed to the unskilfulness of Dr. Sandier.. The King wept bitterly over the leas. Tee Duchess of Montpensier fainted. Narrows communicated the event to the diplomatic: body and other functionaries, and the nurse of the prince presented his body upon a cushion in a wicker b.sket. During the 8-st hour of the event 01l was confusion. The rumour ran that a prince of Asturias was born; while many supposed that the Queen hod died, b cease the joyful event was not announced by cannon. Until 5 there was no getting at the truth. To-day the Queen is doing well. This morning she coneoled herself for the sad event, wi:h saying that she was only 19, and Ler huabscd 24, so that btth were still young enough to give an heir to the throne. The Csrlists cannot conceal their joy at the death of the prince. The progresistas are sincerely grieved, as they looked on the birth of a direct he; rto the crown as a guarantee of a more tolerant government. The moderatos mourn over the lost hope of the honours and favours which would have been showered on them with a liberal hand under a more fortunate issue. To-day there is a general volley of blame opened against Sanchez, who is accused of having operated with bad faith. A letter from Madrid, dated July 12, says:— A eon/eremite took place this meriting between the Spanish bondholders' commissioners and the board of direction of the public debt. ales. ; besides the delegates of the home bond holders, M. Weisweiller, on the part of the English bond. hArlers, and timers. Wertheim and Seching on that of the Dutch bondb9lden, were present at the conference. Senor Pastor addressed the board on behalf of the Madrid bond holders' eoassaittee, had was replied to by Senor Beltran de Lis, president of t►e board. It appears, from the views stated by Senor Pastor, that the Spanish committee are suite agreed v ith the Lmdnn bondholders' committee in not ea erptiog any Om of arrangement which pro;ous • further redue•ion in the capital of the debt. Senor Selma de Vs tasted that the observations made by Senor Pse•or, &a well as those mad* on former occasions by 111.

The PRESIDENT then ite.rodaced the American minister. _ _ Mr. ABBOTT LAWRENCE was greatly applauded. Ile 'poke u follows: My lords and gentlemen: I nave had placed in my hands a taut which I shell offer wi h very great pleasure, inasmuch as it relates to the great interest of this country and ot ell other countries—inasmuch ea to me there is no want of harmony in those interests if properly regulated. And, without touching upon any point that can glee or will give the slightest umbrage or the slightest W heeling to any human teeing, I will, without any further remark, announce to you the tout—it is " Agriculture, Manufactures, anclCominercs." A friend, as I am, to all those intoner, believing that the 031ItT, arid the glory, and the interests of this country have been promoted by the en couragement of them all, I rejoice that agriculture is first. Mr. President, I came here not as a foreigner—(hear, bear) —I same here to claim relationship at your halide- 2 (hear, hear)—l came here, for the first time in coy life, to see Ike farmers of England with my own eyes—(great cheetiag)— believing that when I sae the farmers of England I saw the biekbone of England. ( tremendous applause.) I know to, well the history of my anteaters and kindred of Eng. land not to know that the farmers of England have ever been loyal snd true to the crown. I knew their history too well nut to know that the battles of England and the glories of England. are indeb ed to the patriotism and the power and the sacrifices of the farmers of England. I came rem breause my anteaters were all farmer., and English farmers too; and I name here, first, as toe repre sentative of a contrary, whose great na•tal interests are those sounded on the soil. (Cheats) I came here to pledge to you, and to offer to you, in that kind, that fraternal feeling which should exist between two great nations connected with the ties of blood, to offer to you the sympathies and the kind feelings of the great body of farmers in the United States of America. I came hers ne their representative to tell you and to make lon feel and realise that WI feel under Areal obligations to you for the experiment; you have tried, winch you, being young and rich—(laugh. ter)—are enabled to try, by your having the capital, the skill, and what is more, the science, which has been applied to the arts in Greet Britain. Mr. President, when I look to the state et agriculture in 1860, and compare it in Eaglend with the state of a t riculture in 1820, lam perfectly amazed. I have been overwhelmed to I hove seen so much, heard so much, that I have not had time to digest it. (Cheers.) I have seen to-day that which I have never seen before. When I look back to this country only 30 years, and in the annals of time it is but • day, and look to that period, what was produced f I find the average product of emcee in this realm was not more than 20 or 22 bush. Is to the acre, and now high authori ies of all parties and all shade, of political opinion agree that the ave rage product of England. is 24 to 33 bushels per acre (Hear. A voice, " 'rainy." t Thirty, then, if you please. (Hear, hear.) The nacre the better. It it ware 40 I should ejoice, and thank Hod that yiu have the prior place. We in the United States have not the slightest jealousy of agriculteral interest of England. We rejoice at every new agri cultural implement you bring oat suitable to your condition. We rrj Ace if through the application of agricultural chemistry you can produce a spier of grass more in the kingdom. It is a matter tor you, gentlemen, and not for me, to di Bide on theme great questions which now agitate this country, fcr I do not CMe hers to enter into the political discussions of the British people. I may happen to have my own opinions, but they wiil never be expressed in Great Biiiiin—(hear, hear), so far as regards the internal policy of this great nation; but I will tell you this, the more food you produce the nearer you supply this great and mighty people, the more rejoiced I should be and the great clumpy I r. present. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) In regard to commerce, there is not • man within the sound of my voice, I apprehend, wh3 will not agree with me when I say that commerce, or n.vi.,ation, or trade, whatever you denominate it, whatever name you choose to give it, is essential to the prosperity of the agricultural interest. Commerce has been the great pioneer of civilisation—(near, hear) ; and what country has done so much as this to civilise the world through the instrumentality of commerce (Cheers.) I wish to do perfect justice to all interests, bt- Atvit.g that all are in harmony. With regard to manufac tures, it would be idle, it would be futile teed foolish in me sotto acknowledge that the manufactures of England—the spiailles of England if you please—have, in Conjunction with this great and powerful, and patriotic body of &grim:- cerise, fought the battles of Great Britain. There is no discrepancy whatever, in my judgmen', in maintaining that all the-c interests are vital to the prosperity of this nation, and of all great nations. I believe that these three great interests are identical. I: is ter you to decide, not me, how far you will be dependent upon foreign nations for food ; but I tell you, gentlemen, that I shall deem it • mis fortune to my own country and to the world, whether by the legislation of your own government, or from any other cause, this in'gh.y nation, Great Britain, should lose • portion of its power in the family et nations. There is room for us all. (Renewed cheers.) I desire to see competition essoeg liberal—among ail nations, in fact—l desire to bee a competition existing between the old Acglo- Ste id and the young Angkr-Saxon, and let that competition be upon one principle, how shall we advance and diffuse civilization throug..out the world. I am happy, Mr. president and gentlemen, to state to you that on this occasion the United States is not represented alone by me. I have on my right one of the most eiistin euished statesmen of the United States, and, what is better, one of the best farmers in the t: sited States. (Hear, hear.) That gentleman is the American Ambassador at Paris ; and he is come here to meet you today—his Ezeellency, W. C. Reaves, of Virginia. Mr. Reaves and inset' are not the ony representatives of the United States, am proud to say. In this room somewhere—l know not where—there is one of the greatest stock-breeders of the United States—Colocel Morris, Vsoe-President of the Now Voile Agricultural Society, a gentleman who has been purchssirg the English stock very largely, that we in the Western World may improve our own. Before I sit down I cannot help thankieg, es • humble in dividual, the inhabitants of the city ot Exeter. His Es cell. racy sat down amid great applause. The Earl of CHICHESTER, who occupied the vice. president's chair in lieu of the Duke of Richmond, who was prevented by public business from attending, proposed the Health of the Mayer and Corporation of Exeter. B A. SANDERS, Esq... the Mayor, acknowledged the tout. Lori WODEHOUSE, in proposing" the Labouring Classes of Eugland," threw himself upon the kind indul gence of the guests, because he felt that he wee a stranger in that part of the country. I am sure, said be, every reflecting man will feel that this is a subject which at all times requires of us most grave consideration, especially at a period when there had been and still is so great • ferment and movement among the labouring classes of so =soy countries in Europe—a movement, the importance et which we must not estimate from its open manifestation— thoukh they have been significant enough—but from that under-current of opinion which for aught we know may be silently producing results of which it may not now be useful or opportune to speak. (Claus.) Gentlemen, I say at such meetings as these, which me men tia.ly meetings of employers of labour, it is not right that we should pass over this subject In silence. There is one circumstance which distinguishes this country from all the countries of the world with regard to the con dition of the labouring classes : it is, that the condition of the labouring classes of this eminuy is, so to speak, universally the condition of labourers oa hue. In most of the other countries of Europe there are a large numb. r of peewit pro prietoes. la Prance, I think I have heard, there are not fewer, if not more, than four millions of peewit proprietors. In parts of Germany there are a still larger proportion ; soto speck generally, I say the condition of labourers for hire, as the general condition of the labouring classes, is in a manner peculiar to this country. In this state of things, in which I cannot help seeing that society is divided into two camps, the employers and employed—a difficult sad delicate question arises which the safety and well being of society requires to be solved. (" Heir, hesr," end cheers.) Gentlemen will. I am sure, agree with me that it is not by lowering the height, lint by raising the depth, that we may advance the condition of the labourer; end, among the means for this great end, I confess I place a hig h value on • sound system of education, to an improved sense—that of training the mind, drawing out its capacities, and strength ening its powers by constant habit and use—this, I thy, is an improvement to any man in every condition of society. (Loud cheers.) It enables the labourer to reject bad adviee—beensse it enables him to reason about what he hears and reads—b. cause it enables him to reject at once delusive, though seductive, theories, which enchain and take captive the uneducated or half educated man. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) But, gentlemen, mistake me not, this is • work of time. Habits of providence and forethought, which are the objects to be sought for are not to be found in a momenta new generation must spring up, trained is better habits of bob and of mind before any great social change may be looked for. I speak with some confidence having visited • eonsidsrable number of cottages in my own and other parts of England, ag4l I grieve to say, in too many iastanoes the *Maim p i t the agricultural labourers are insufficient to aemeamodste badly contemned, badly ventilated, badly drained. Two or three fa milies are crowded together regardless of Gleam and cleanliness—(mer, near)—bat who can say that there is nos a spirit ot, improvement abroad ? We may point to many instances at landlords who have improved their cot. tars. We may point with satisfaction to the papeend mays which have would ander Me caution awl in the journal of this society. I em cone.need it is of great im portance, less you suet begin at the right end; it is by ewe (reside that the character of the labourer Is formed. • (Cheers.) If habits of decency and order and of self-raven are wanting, then it is vain to tea to contend with them by it flumes and by means which can never contend on equal ground with domestic it fineness—(. hear, hi as," and cheers) —three leftmost, which engrain themselves into th e ver y nature of a man. (Cheers.) Although, gentlemen, I fees I have trespassed too long, I cannot pass over the subject of emigration, which has of late orient led so large a share ei public attention is relation to the condition of the labourer. I confer that, as far as my humble opinion goes, I have Gill. faith In any great government scheme of emigration. (ber, hear.) I believe ft would generate into a great government job and would not produce the benefits its promoters expect. I am so friend to what has been justly termed the scraping out of pauper', but I am a friend to any pliin for amialleg the enterprising labourer wishing to repair where his services would meet with a high reward. I know and I rejoice to know it that the labourers of England possess many of the best qualities in the highest degree. For energy, for endurance, fee fidelity, I am con 'laced that they are not surpatsed by the labourers ot any country in the world. They deserve your weld tenets, th e y deserve your reaped, and I am sure they possess it. We have had an instance to-day in the magnificent show ofea . 2 and implements of whet energy and skill can effect. I ih apply all that energy and skill to the am, hinting the con dition of the lahau er, who had so large a share in pro ducing that proud exhibition. I am convinced the em ployers of labour will do much, but I em proud to say never theirs' the improvement of the labourer will corns maid, from himself; and I believe that there is that good Reneg e that good sense in the labourers of England, which will always attach them t. the cause of order and the maintenance of our ircitutions. Bat I believe at the same time that they have the characteriatic of Eng lishmen and will greedily embrace and easily carry out any rational scheme for their improvement. (Cheers.) I give you "Toe welfare of the labourers," and let us drink it with a strong feeling of the value of their good will and a hearty determination to deserve it. The Earl of YARBOROUGH proposed the health of the prisiden-, which, having been duly responded to, SILLIFANT expatiated at some length on the la bours sf the judges, ant concluded by proposing their health', perticularly mentioning Mr. List, r and Mr. Cnamberlain. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN returned thanks for the umpires for stock, whose duties he declared had never beta greater than en this oche-len. IC reference to what fell from Lord Wodehouse on education, he remarked that he hoped some plan would be pr pounded for the education of the children of small farmers who could not be sent to boardiog schools. (Cheers.) Hs trusted some proprietary schools might be tstabNehea in which this clue might receive the benefit of a good sound rAigious English ( ducation. Mr. LISTER alluded :o the improvements in implements, especially noting the testing machine of the society, ...vented by the society's engineer, Mr. Amos, en . : observed, that he thourht that another theme:a wt it'd still be wanted in mole- musts, and that was the impltment of the packet. kr. Chamberlain had spoken of the sons of farm rs wanting edu cation, would the land'ords tutu , . him if he esid they wanted education themsilvcs ? (enters and hisses) lie had found that where the landlord understood his business, there was a kind and cordial feeling between landlord and tenant. He thought the society would teach the great people a great lesson. (Disapprobation.) Tee President had gone to one extreme, perhaps he was going to another. (Much confu sion, miogled with cries of ' Go on.'') As to the hbouren he sold give us remunerating priers and we can employ double the labourers we have. (Cheers.) Ile would take Linaoln, Yorkshire, Nortlumberlsnd, Cumberland, Wtst moreland, and he said if you went to have better farming you must have more labour. What did emigration do ? It sent away the very sinews of labour. (enters and confu sion ) Let the great people encourage the productions of their own country and keep their labour at home. The speaker was pursuing some further remarks, when he was loudly called to order, and he r ruined his seat with out finishing his lest sentence, aroicht loud uproar, mingled with calls to him to proceed. The CHAIRMAN asked if it was the wish of the meet inn that he should proceed. Lou , . cries of " No, no," fol lowed by cries of " Yes," and great cenfusion. The noble chairman then announced abet the pary weld not speak at all; and otter what he termed this 0 I.lessent (!) little dif ference of opinion," his lordship call , d ep n The Americus minister in Paris, Mr. RIVES, who, after a e implimentary spire* proposed "Success to toe Agricul tural Aemistion of Scotland and Ireland." Sir ROBERT PRICE oropov d the !width of the Presi dent .leir,theD.k• of Richtnoltd, for whom Lord CHICHESTER replied. TIN PRESIDENT then gave as a toast The railway companies, wish (hulks to there for the faeilit es afforded." Mr. BIJLLEN, of the Blistol and Beira Rsilway, re plied, and the meeting dispersed. FRIDAY MORNING. Already the intense excitement which prettied the City during the whole of yererday is subdued, a:though the crowd seems by no mean■ lessened at the show.yards. Lut night the seers at the railway station, previous to the depar ture of the 10 30 p.m. special train to Bridgwater was ter rifi3. The oth:v doors were closed up to within a short time of the starting of the train, and the pushing, driving, shouting, and hsranguing exceeded all description. The railway con:peaks do not rem to have MMUS , ' theensalves to the full eztent of the pasyntger path , ; their arrangements were miserable in the extreme, b r.h on the Bristol and Ex-ter and South Devon lines; hundreds were left waiting. the greater put of the day at the intermediate stations, and hundreds more wets brought to the city in horse bones, open trucks, and waggons, never bore used for such a purpose. Deriog the afternoon of yesterdsy the weather, which up to four o'clock had been uccueptimsbly fine, suddenly changed to rain. At 10 o'clock this morning the general meeting of the numbers took place in the conned oh .. a - niber at the Guildhall, the Falk/eat, the Msrquia of Dawnthire, being in the chair. Colonel CIIALONER, in proposing a vote of thanks to the Mayor, which he put forward at their expression of gratitude to the whole of the inbabatint., camplaaeated the latter upon the extraordinary exethuhe which they had made to da honour to the whit. .... The vote was secinde.i by the ILL Mr. CLIVE sad carried unanimausly. A similar acknowledgment was male of the services of the local committee and of the owners and occupiers of the lard used for the show ; aad also of the mansg,ra of the Devon and Exeter Museum, which had been thrown open gratis to the public. Thanks were given to Sir Thomas Aclaud and Mr. Turner for affording the society an opportunity of inspecting the system of water meadows, which were peculiar to the county. B. ALMACK, E q., proposed a cote of thanks to Pro fessor Simends, which was passed, and duly acknowledged by the professor. Colonel CHALLONER, basing Tired the President out cf the chair and put the Hon. Mr. Clive therein, asked the meeting to retryu their best thanks for the benefits which they bad received from the noble marquis as president. Toe lion. Mr. WILSON seconded the vote, which was tarried by acclamation. The PRESIDENT responded, and he mee:ing dissolved. This pretty nearly finishes the Royrl Agricultural So ciete's exhibition of 1850, and long w.:l it be remembered in Exeter. FRIDAY EVENING. Shortly before three o'clock I man admitted to the Pavilion, at the bottom of Sand: eland-street, built expressly for this demonstration, in favour el protection to British agriculture. The refusal of the Royal Agricultural Society to grant the use of their pavilion at a late peeled, allowed little time for the construction of a place suitable for the purpose. Bat, without quarrelling with the roughness of appearance, I may observe that the space enclosed was reputed to be considerably lager than in Qieen-street. To make the most of their forces, the dtrecters had, like good generals, extended an unusually large space between the tables, but the tilling up of the seats was more difficult, and 'though they waited and welted and wait. d lung beyond the dinner hour, the arrivals were slow, and two of the tables locked occupants altogether. 1 t was said that Mr. Disraeli, M.P., was expected from Linden I y the express train—but he was only expected. Tn. Doke of Richmond was, of course, detained in London from the pressure of important public business. Immediately behind the president was a gallery for ladies. Athaltthest three the President, Sir J. B. Y. Briaart, Bert., M.P., entered and took his place, immediately upon which grace was said. On his right was seated the hero of the feast, G. F. Young, Beg , and on his left Earl Stanhope. The dinner was passably good, but suffered greatly from comparison with that of yesterday. Precisely at four o'clock seven enthusiastic ladies entered the gallery and received vo ciferous cheers ; they were shortly bellowed by two more. At 20 minutes past four a round of applause ancounced the strived of four more ladies. The next minute two ladies, who brought with them a little boy, were emburrarsed by the same unseemly exhibition. After the usual touts, The CHAIRMAN gave " The health of Mr. G. F. Young." Mr. YOUNG, who was cheered on rising, congratulated them on the proud position protection occupied now to w hat it did twelve months since. At that period the very exist ence of a protectionist party was ignored. Were they ignored now 1 They were a fact, and the time was not far distant when they would be acknowledged as • great fat. In a speech of great length he contended that the system of fns trade—the admitting cotton free of duty—was to en courage manufactures, and that was only protection in ano ther form. The Coreplaw League had boasted that they had distributed 100 tons of tracts and pamphlets gratuitously. The spirit of mischief was abroad, and did not pause at such sacrifices. He counselled them to learn a lesson of ex perience from their opponents. He was not so foolish as to run a " muck " against tho press, but there were papers cir culating among the humbler c.asses most extensively, which were immoral papers. He challenged the Easter free traders to hold such a meeting as this, and, in contusion, said they had land wanting cultivation, labour wasting employment, sepsrabundast capital, but the nation, with a deep infatua tion, instead of accumulating wealth, spends its money in sensing its labourers forth to foreign clime at a great expense, instead of employing them advantag e ously on their own soil. The health of Earl STAN HOPE having been drunk, the noble earl said ha was desired by the Duke of Richmond, whose name was justly dear to them all, to expresa to them his severe concern at not being enabled to dome here, having an attempt was etude to to attend this evening in parliament, to obtain justice for the Monday, an which had been promised T thM h 4 a ot t justice was refused, and showed down* bad said that parliament was • 41 Mr protect the tfriaisateLZihr:Sellliratisitiesza°olvP:p.r‘lateilLs ents wss a broken reed.
