The annual meeting of this association was held yesterday at Aylesbury, the Marquis of Chandos in the chair. In the evening the public dinner took place at the George Hotel. The Marquis of Chandos was supported in the chair by the Right Hon. Benja min Disraeli, M.P., Mr. W. G. Cavendish, M.P., Mr. S. G. Smith, M.P., Sir A. Rothschild, Colonel Hanmer, Mr. Downes, and many other of the lead ing agriculturists of the county. The usual loyal toasts having been proposed, The noble CHAIRMAN gave " The Army and Navy," coupling the toast with the name of Colonel Hanmer. (Loud applause.) Colonel HANMER acknowledged the toast. The CHAIRMAN then gave "The health of the County Members." They knew politics were strictly excluded, yet that did not prevent them from offering due praise to those gentlemen who had honoured them by their presence, and whose duty it was to watch over the interests of the State. They had long been represented by a gentleman who had shown himself most able and most ener getic in advocating and supporting the interests of the country. (Cheers.) That remark applied not only to county but to borough members, and he thought it was a great advantage that they were to be honoured by the presence of the gentlemen to whoa} he had alluded. He had, therefore, great pleasure in proposing their healths ; having no doubt the toast would be received in the enthusi astic manner it truly deserved. (Loud cheering.) Mr. DISRAELI, on rising, was received with loud and long-continued cheering. He said—Gentle men, the agreeable duty devolves upon me of ro turning thanks on the part of myself and my col leagues, as the representatives of this county and borough, for the kind manner in which you have received the toast from the chair. I speak without any concert with my hon. friends, but I feel con vinced there is nothing more gratifying to them than to find themselves among their neighbours and constituencies on occasions like this. I may congratulate yoh, without using any extravagant terms, upon the proceedings of to-day. I think that they are highly satisfactory, for I think none can deny that, on the whole, great progross has been made. I remember the time (and I daresay you remember it) when it was necessary to defend societies of this character. Having myself been one of the very earliest members of the original society, which has been enlarged and expanded into the present one, I can recall the time when it was necessary on every occasion to vindicate assemblies of this kind and institutions of this charater. The best answer, however, to the attacks that were made upon them is the fact that 25 years have now elapsed since the foundation and introduction of these societies, and that now they are sown broad cast over the land, and we find men of all parties supporting such societies and endeavouring to carry their objects into effect. We find also an unanimous agreement among all who have a due ac quaintance with real life as to the beneficial effect which attends the operations of such as are open to criticism ; but I wish to know what in this world is not open to criticism. But, gentlemen, if there were only critics in the world, society would soon be at a standstill. To animate skill, to encourage enterprise, to reward merit, these have always been considered means by which a community is taught to flourish, by which mankind is rendered happier. But if there were only critics in the world, none of those means would ever be had re course to, for critics never encourage skill, critics never animate enterprise, critics never reward merit. (Laughter and cheers.) It is particularly encouraging to us to-day when we remember the circumstances under which we meet. There were in this county rival societies, and although I feel, as all must feel, the great importance of concen trated effort, I must acknowledge that though there have been rival societies, great advantage has arisen from that circumstance, because a certain degree of emulation must always be an element of suc cess. Although I have been an original mem ber of the Bucks Royal Agricultural Association, and although I think its exertions were highly beneficial to the country, yet it was subject to very unjust remarks, and its conduct and proceedings were often misrepresented. I know very well that it is quite impossible that any body of men can conduct affairs without their being open to much improvement, and I for one never looked with any jealousy or hostility upon a society which is now an equal partner and confederate with this association. There are, no doubt, many deficiencies whi c h it may be neces sar y t o supply in the original consti tution of the Royal Bucks Association. There were many omissions which required to be filled up, and although the two societies were for some time rivals, yet they are now eombined, and, as I think, with very great advantage both to those societies and to the community in general. I think that the show to-day was one which ought to be looked on with very great satisfaction. It might have been better ; but what is the use of societtes of this kind, unless we are animated with a spirit of progress and intend at every meeting to excel the efforts of the last ? On the whole, however, it is the best exhibition in this county, and when I say that allow me to remind you that the county of Buckingham is one that has obtained considerable reputation, which it is bound to sus tain. It is now generally admitted that England is a country which takes the lead in the cultivation of the soil, and there are many other points with respect to which we have been in the habit of as suming superiority. Without now entering into any controversy as to whether that assumption is just or not, I think that superiority has been ques tioned upon many other points by continental na tions and critics, but with respect to agriculture never, and for this simple reason,—the test of the superiority of agriculture is the amount you produce from the soil of the country, and that country which produces the most from its soil is held to be the most skilful in agriculture. Th a t being the case, the condition agriculture in this country is such that for a very long period of years we have been famed for the cultiva tion of the soil, and for the progress which Eng land has made in that respect. It has been the boast of the county of Buckingham that it has occu pied no mean position, and I am not at all aware, speaking on that subject without extravagant feel ing, I am not aware that the county of Buckingham is at all inferior to that role it has hitherto occupied in this country. (Cheers.) If you go to the ex treme south, I can point out the fields of one who is looked upon as one of the most skilful cultivators of whom Buckinghamshire has reason to be proud, and who cultivates his ground in the most masterly manner. If you advance to that district in which I have the happiness to live—the Chilterns —you will find that, great as has been the progress made in many parts of England as regards the cultiva tion- of the soil, there is no part in which greater progress has been made than in the stock-farms of the Chiltern-hills. Whether you look at the broad lands of the farmer, or the patches of the cottage labourer, or the land which has been more recently brought into cultivation, I say that there is no part of England in which during the last quarter of a century all that relates to farming can be said to have shown greater progress— (cheers)—nor can you find in any part of England better examples set than in Buckinghamshire. When you come to this dis trict I say that there is no portion of it of which you can be in the least degree ashamed, for it vies in competition with any part of the United King dom. (Cheers.) We have here the far-famed Creslow field, the pride of England, indeed, to say nothing of Buckinghamshire, as being perhaps the I richest and largest piece of pasture in the world. (Cheers.) Having this in the extreme south, then, in the Chilterns, we find that it is truly the Queen of pasture land. Now, what has happened in the north—that portion which some years ago used to be spoken of in terms of comparative commisera tion ? You will find that you have done much by extensive drainage—(hear, hear)—and that excel lent management is still going on at a considerable pace. But you have done more. In that part of Buckinghamshire you will find a farmer who has applied steam power, both practically and exten sively, to the cultivation of the soil. (Hear.) While some men have been writing theoretical essays on agricultural proceedings, and others have been in venting machines which have never been brought into use, a Buckinghamshire farmer (Mr. Smith, of Woolstone) has cut, as it were, the Gordian knot, and has effected that which philosophers have only dreamed of, and which but few believed would ever be brought into practice. (Hear.) The county that has done all this, looking from its extreme north to its extreme south, need not, I say, be ashamed to hold up its head by the side of any agricultural county in the kingdom. (Cheers.) I say even that it takes the lead in the cultivation of the soil and produces the greatest amount of food from that soil, Buckinghamshire, at any rate, has produced its due share towards the aggregate amount of agricultural skill and labour, and I feel that we should consider it a pride to belong to such a community. (Ap plause.)The meeting and the exhibition of t o -d ay, connexion with this society, should b e v i ewe d as in ' a proof of the success which has followed its efforts in the agricultural advancement. Judging from what I have seen to-day, I hold that the society has well maintained its credit. Mind, lam not here to pretend there is no room for improvement, on the contrary, I find that improvement is the necessary condition of pre-eminence, and that it is only by your continued exertions that you can con tinue to hold the distinguished position which you at present occupy. The right hon. gentleman sat down amid loud cheers. .1?-1ILWA1' INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern—Mr. R. Gill in the chair. Mr. B. BAKER, the secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was so full that it contained every thing he wished to state. He wished to remark that if the present state of things was brought about by any alteration of policy on the part of the board he would have regretted it, but nothing of the kind had occurred. They had not altered their policy in any respect, nor done any thing that could have had an injurious effect upon their revenue. They had had two seasons, he might say, without a harvest ; the earth had not yielded the usual produce for the past two seasons, and consequently they had been deprived of a large amount of their usual traffic. It was not pleasing to look back upon the last half-yearly accounts, although the directors had placed honest accounts before the proprietors. They were not able to present them with a 6 per cent. dividend., as they did at first, or with a 9 per cent. dividend, as they did afterwards. If their traffic in the past half-year had been as good as it was in those ofi former half-years they would have had a good divi dend. It must have been evident from their weekly traffic returns being so much less than at the corres ponding period of preceding years, that they could sot have had a dividend on that occasion. They now carried forward a balance of £B,OOO, and if former dividends were fairly paid from large traffic returns the proprieto rs wou ld h ave such dividnds again when their traffic receipts became as large as formerly. If it was a fact, as reported, that the present har vest in Canada and the Western States was a very plentiful one, they might fairly expect an increase of traffic and a return to dividends. They would recollect that when their traffic was so large as to yield them 9 per cent. dividends that it was stated they must double their line, and greatly increase their rolling stock; at the same time it was thought that no one could calculate what the traffic would be. He believed he stood alone on that occasion in resisting the doubling of the line so long as they were able to carry the traffic with the means at their disposal. If that course had not been adopted, they would have been saddled with scores of engines and rolling stock, and have had an increased amount of capital to pay upon for the double line, for which they would have had no business. The expenditure on capital account had been small during the past half-year. He believed the present board had carried out every economy they could, but it had not enabled them to pay a dividend. The company had now the means of carrying an immense traffic on their line, so that if the traffic increased in Canada they would have the benefit of it. They had at present 38 engines in steam and 50 engines idle, but of course, though idle, they required attention. They had now double the rolling stock required for their present traffic, and all that was wanted to insure them their former traffic was that the earth should con tinue to yield its average produce. He was happy to say they had come to a traffic arrangement with the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada Company on the opening of the second line fo Sarnia. No one knew so well as those gentlemen connected with the Grand Trunk the disastrous effects of competi tion. The suggestion came from their side, and he believed no competition could take place between the two companies. Under the agreement, if one carried more of that particular traffic than the other it did not matter, as the traffic would be divided in certain proportions between the two companies. Captain 11. HALL believed it was the first time the balance-sheet had shown that the Milwaukie Company owed them £22,000 for interest. He wished to know whether they had taken any means to recover the £26,000 in arrear of calls. It was injurious to the interests of the old shareholders, who had paid up their shares in full and were re ceiving no dividend, that the holders of the new shares should remain in arrear. As they stated in the report that the capital account might be closed with regard to the main line and Galt branch, he would suggest that the directors make no more calls on the new shares, and that the amount paid up on them be consolidated into stock, as soon as possible. A great portion of the money raised on those shares lie believed had gone to the Detroit and Milwaukie Company. The CHAIRMAN said, with regard to the observa tions of Captain Hall, the interest due by the De troit and Milwaukie Company had appeared in for mer accounts, but it was coupled with other items. One of the directors who had audited the accounts thought it should appear separately and not with other items, and it was therefore placed separately in the accounts. With regard to the arrears of calls, they had been considerably reduced since the 31st of July, the date to which the accounts had been made up. The arrears now did not amount to one half of £26,000. Interest at the rate of 11 per cent. had been charged on arrears at one time when money was dear, and now the interest charged was 5 per cent. on the amount in arrear. With regard to the payments on capital account, the company had paid off £200,000 of the Go vernment debt, and if the shareholders had not interposed to prevent the option of converting bonds into shares the whole of the £700,000 would have been raised, and the Government debt would have been paid off. With regard to the calls on the new shares, the suggestion of Captain Hall could not be received otherwise than as a recom mendation to the board. Of course, they could not pledge themselves to make any more calls, because they could not tell what would be required. Mr. A. BEATTIE thought they ought to hear Mr. Brydges. He wished to know what further obli gations they were under in respect of the Detroit and Milwaukie Railway, and to hear the answer of Mr. Brydges to the charges made in a certain pamphlet, which he believed were untrue, and whether Mr. Stewart had now any power over the affairs of that comp any , Mr. BRYDGES, in reply to the various questions, stated that Mr. Head had fallen into an error with respect to the locomotive expenses ; the cost of fuel was not 4s. 6d. per mile, but 64. In regard to coal on the Detroit and Milwaukie Railway, there was no doubt of its existence, but in consequence of the great depression during the past two years no one would use capital for the purpose of opening the coal-field. He had been informed that some gentle men from Pennsylvania, acquainted with the work ing of coal had examined the locality, and found the coal there better and of greater extent than was supposed. There was, therefore, every prospect of thecoalmines b e i ng wor k e d, w hi c h wou l d result i n great adva n t age to the D etroit and Milwaukie Railway Company. (Hear.) With regard to the present position of the Great Western Railway Company, the traffic had been reduced, from a variety of circumstances. From 1852 to 1856 the amount of English capital expended in Canada was £ 1 6,000,000 for railway purposes. The outlay of so much capital had a great effect in stimulating industry, raising the prices of everything, and causing much speculation. The war between Great Britain and Russia caused a great demand for pro duce. The importations to Canada and the United States were increased largely. The outlay of capi tal diminished, the war ceased, prices fell, and the panic of 1857 occurred. Since that time Canada had been trying to emerge from its difficulties. The country would have recovered to a great extent by this time h a d it no t b een f or t wo b a d h arves ts. The crops in Canada and the Western States had shown large deficiencies, which had the effect of lowering Prices. The statistical returns proved how g reat the falling o ff h a d b een . The export of wheat amounted to 4,997,000 bushels, in 185 7 2in 2 1 to 76,0 8 0 5 0 6 bushels, and in 1858 to 2,437,000 bushels, being only thatt to the they Great re hadat one-half Western carried for the year ending July, 1857, 1,823,000 bushels ; ending July, 1858, 660,000 b us h e l s ; and i l t Bs wOul A d p b p e lyi f n o g un t d ha for the year ending July, 1859, 403,000 bushels. No other cause but the deficiency of the crops could be found to account for the great falling off in their produce of th e country was a good reason for the traffic. The reducti on o f 6 0 per cent. in the staple falling off of their traffic. (Hear, hear.) The same remarks applied to the produce of the Western States of America. He was glad to say the crops in Canada and the Western States were this year better than for many years past. Wheat during the last two years averaged 2,500,000 bushels, while LI F E during the present year it amounted to 4,500,000 bushels. Besides this amount there were other grains and a large quantity of flour. He thought the fact of the crops being larger than for years past and well secured, together with the natural re vival of traffic, would bring back to them their re venue as before. They had also suffered from com petition during the past half year, resulting in a loss to them of not less than 6QOOO dole. or 70,000 dols., whi c h o th erw i se wou ld h ave b een clear gain, The quantity carried was 3 per cent. less and the receipts were 20 per cent. less. In live stock carried the number was 10 per cent. less, and the receipts were reduced by competition from 81,000 dols. to 39,000 dols., or more than 50 per cent. They had lost during the half-year by com petition about £15,000; but he was glad to say that the competition was now at an end. One of the American companies had reduced their receipts by competition 25 per cent., another had suspended its dividends, while the New York and Erie was in the hands of bondholders. When they looked around them they found that other railway com panies had suffered much more than they had. With regard to new lines they had not abstracted any material amount of traffic from them. The working expenses had been reduced from ss. 2d. per train mile to 4s. per train mile. The cost of labour was still higher in Canada than in many parts of Eng land. All the rails and other materials had to be imported from England, and the cost, including the duty charged is Canada, raised the price 60 per cent, above that in England. The working ex penses for the hallyear ending the 31st of July, 1856, amounted to £161,000, and for the past half year to £120,000, although they had 50 miles more to:work. He then adverted to the pamphlet en titled, " A few Facts Relative to the Present Position and Management of the Great Western of Canada Railway." He explained that the Writer, who was not a shareholder in the company, was known from letters in the possession of the chairman. He had been personally attacked in it because he itould not listen to schemes put forth by the author which would prove injurious to the company. He then showed to the satisfac tion of the meeting that the statements in the pamphlet were not only incorrect, but some of them were positively untrue. With regard to the mort gage on the Detroit and Milwaukie Railway, the company held the third morgage, and not the fourth, as represented in the pamphlet, the interest on the first and second mortgages having been re gularly paid to the present time. The amount of the first mortgage was 3,000,000 dols., and on the second mortgage 1,000,000 dols. As to Mr. Stewart, he had no power over the railway, nor had he any contract with the company. He then explained the traffic agreement with the Grand Trunk Company for avoiding competition, and stated that it was for 10 years. (Cheers.) The report was then adopted, the retiring direc tors were re-elected, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings, 7 HE NAP Y. The screw-frigate Ariadne, 32, in the fitting dock, is progressing very fast with her fitting and rigging, and will be ready for sea some time in the ensuing month. Admiralty orders have been received:at Chatham dockyard for two more large vessels of war to be laid down at that establishment. One of these will be a line-of-battle screw steamer, to be called the Royal Oak, and to mount 91 guns; and the other a 51-gun screw frigate, to be named the Belvedere. The Royal Oak is to be furnished with machinery of 800 horse-power, and the Belvedere with engines of 600-horsepower. The Ringdove, 6, Commander Craigie, fitting out at Portsmouth for China, bas been placed in No. 1 dock for examination. The Sphinx, 6, paddle, Commander Day, V.C., made trial of her engines and boilers in Stokes Bay on Monday. Every thing worked satisfactorily. She realised a speed of 10.379, or nearly 101 knots. Messrs. Miller and Murdoch conducted the trial. At the conclusion the Sphinx returned into Ports mouth Harbour. The following appointments were made yester- day at the Admiralty :—Charles Forbes, surgeon, to the Topaze ; Isaac Hearnden, paymaster, to the keynard ; and John Wotton, paymaster, to the Cumberland. THE ARMY. Major R. L. 0. Pearson, of the Grenadier Guards, has been appointed Deputy-Assistant Adjutant- General at head-quarters, in the place of Lieut.- Colonel T. W. Reynolds. The half-yearly inspection of the East Kent Militia took place at Portsmouth yesterday. Al 3 p.m. the regiment, upwards of 500 strong, with its band and colours, under the command of Col. G. Brockman, assembled on Southsea-common in heavy marching order, and formed in line with the colours in the centre. The regiments of Essex Militia—the West at Chelmsford and the East at Colchester—will com plete their 21 days' training on Wednesday next ; when they will be disbanded, and again sent to their respective homes.

[ADVERTISEMEST.]—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer, breeder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest. Experience has proved, first, that it effects a considerable saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this ho happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng. lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely r pen its efficacy, fancying he possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time usually consumed in developing it,fat; a therefore, becomes apparent that a certain saving is effected by fair application oThorloy's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene ral use,',in preference to any other of the usual articles of food; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certainly it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides possessing the advantage of greatly invigorating the health and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other food, materially assists th e i r di gest i ve powers matter of great consequence, since it is an undoubted fact that the nourishment contained in theit Binary food is l os t, conse quent upon the i m p a i re d or deft Wye action of the digestive organs ; it will a l so b e found to be particularly beneficial in restoring to good working condition horses which have been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or ar, naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects an undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the yield of milk an d b utter, whilst it at the same time enriches the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest superiority over every other kind of compound or manu factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows, Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded. The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward course ; and he may confidently rely, in producing sd highly-favoured a compound, on a continuation of such high audiliatinguished patronage., LONDON .111_EC lIAND.S' INS TI2'Ul I TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--1 have the pleasure to inform you that the purchase of our landlord's interest in the buildings occupied by this institution has been this day com pleted, rind Lord Brougham and his co•trustee are thus re'ieased from their liability to pay a rent of £229 per annum for more than a hundred years. This_ rcratifying result is in a great measure due to the invaluable assistance which we obtained from the tress at an early period of our labours. But alth.ough much has been accomplished, much still reoutins to be done, as the subscriptions amounted to about £2,000 only, out of the £3,500 required, and the £1,500 additional having been raised by mortgage. Lord Brougham and his co-trustee have been obliged to enter into a covenant for payment of the amount. In order to complete the work which they have thus far carried on successfully, the committee propose to raise further subscriptions sufficient to pay off this debt of £1,500 and the necessarily large legal expenses incurred by the trustees, and in this effort they trust to receive a continuance of the powerful assistance which the Press has hitherto afforded them. I have the pleasure to state that the institution is in an improving condition. There are now upwards of 340 subscribers, besides several hundred persons attending classes on geometry, English grammar, drawing, and many other branches of education. Th ere can b e no d ou b t t h at the utility of the institution will be greatly increased now that it has beon liberated by the genercsity of the subscribers from the payment of £125 of annual rent. £75 more would he extinguished by the payment of the mortgage debt.

Yesterday evening a long inquiry took place at the King's Arms, Castle-street, Long Acre, before Mr. Wakley, on the body of Daniel Lock, aged 52, a plasterer, who had committed suicide under the following circumstances :—Eliza Lock, a daughter of the deceased, deposed that before the strike her father was earning 30s. weekly at his trade. He was a society man at only 2s. 6d. a week, and the family having been reduced to destitution, their position preyed upon his mild. On Saturday he went to the society's lodge, but was not paid his half-crown. She did not see him again alive, but heard on the evening of the same day that he had poisoned himself at her brother's lodging. • 'The coroner here observed that the strike was a most inhuman contest between master and man, involving helpless families in the direst desti tution and misery. Gcorge Lock, son of the de ceased, said his father called upon him at No. 16. Little Earl-street, Seven-dials, on Saturday evening, and appeared very strange in his manner: He soon became insensible, when Mr. Bennett, surgeon of St. Giles's workhouse, was sent for, and found that he was suffering from the effects of a narcotic poison. Antidotes were administered, and the stomach pump used, but the deceased rapidly sank, and died about four o'clock on Sunday morning. Two bottles, which had contained laudanum, were found upon his person, also a piece of paper, up on which was written —" What Cato did, and Addison approved of, must be right. The strike—the ruin ous strike. God protect my unfortunate family." Verdict, " Temporary insanity." HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (Prom the Registrar-General's Report) The weekly return of births and deaths in Lon don, issued by the Registrar-General for the week ending Saturday, October 1, continues to show an improvement in the public health. In the first week of September the deaths registered were 1,111 ; in the last week which ended October Ist they were 1,014. A decrease is usually observed at this period of the year ; but a comparison of the present returns with those of previous years exhibits also a satis factory result, for, excluding the deaths from epi demic cholera in the two years 1849 and 1854, it will be found that the deaths of last week were less considerably than those that would have occurred if the average rate of mortality in the correspond ing weeks of the years 1849-58 had prevailed. were ee ie.ek l Deaths 4oB4 a . 0 ; Onlyrisi in n theg from 2 afir er first dia weekr referredr: ) ta to of Septembere o le declined cholera, tth l h a s eoy : which occurred to infants. But the mortality of scarlatina continues high, 80 deaths from this disease being recorded, against a corrected average of 62. There are also 17 from diphtheria. Scarlatina was fatal in 7 cases in Islington; diph theria in 3. Four cases of the former disease oc curred in the west sub-district of Hackney ; also 4 in St. Mary, St. George-in-the-East. Small-pox carried off 15 children and 4 adults ; measles 17 children, 4 of whom died in Kensington-town. Four persons died from ague, 2 from remittent fever, 8 from rheumatism. A man died at the age of 93 years, two widows at the respective ages of 94 and 95 years. Of bricklayers one died last week ; of carpenters 2 died, of carpenters' wives 4, of carpenters' chil dren, 17 ; of painters 6 died, of painters' wives, 1, of painters' children, 7; of plasterers, 1 died. Last week the births of 812 boys and 766 gir!s, in all 1,578 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849- 58 the average number was 1621. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.724 in. The highest end lowest readings were 29.92 in. and 29.54 in. on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 58.7 degs. - which exceeds by 4.4 degs. the average of the s ame wee k i n 4 3 years ( as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day throughout the week. The thermometer in the shade fell from 70 degs. on Sunday to 49.1 degs. on Thursday, being the highest and lowest points in the week. The entire range was therefore 20.9 degs. The mean daily range was 12.8 degs. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air tempera ture was 4.6 degs. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 86, complete saturation being repre sented by 100. The mean temperature of the water of thf Thames was 59.3 degs. The wind blew almost constantly from the south-west. Rain fell to the depth of 1.69 in., of which so large a portion as 1.25 in. fell on Monday. On that day the rain began to fall at noon, and fell heavily and steadily from 3 o'clock till near midnight. Lightning was seen at night on Wednesday. Auroral streamers were seen during the evening of Saturday. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BEDFORD RACES.-WEDNESDAY. The Produce Stakes of 25 sous each, 10 ft. for two-yr-olds. Mr. J.

CRUISING IN THE ARCTIC SEAS. The fine schooner yacht Ginevra, of 142 tons, belonging to James Lamont, Esq., younge r , of Knoek d ow, arrived in Leith Roads on Sunday f rom Spit z bergen, bringing her owner and Lord David Kennedy, who have passed the summer cruising in the Arctic Seas, where we understand their rifles have made a very considerable havoc amongst the walruses, the Polar bears, the seals, and the reindeer. The Ginevra has on board two young Polar bears, which these enterprising sportsmen captured alive after shooting the old ores. Mr. Lamont—who is a fellow of the Geological Society of London—has devoted much time and attention to the study of numerous extensive glaciers on the coasts of Spitzbergen, and has made a large collection of shells, fossils, and other geologi ca l s p ec i mens , w hi c h no d ou b t w ill prove interesting to the scientific world, as illustrating the natural history of these remote and comparatively unknown regions. —Scotsman.
