I was never asked to swear I saw the major kiss Mrs. Ellis. Elizabeth Bartholomew—l went to live at Orchard street after my sister left. Major Foster and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis were flopping there. I thought the major treated Mrs. Ellie more as her husband than a friend. They fre quently went out together, but Mr. Ellis used not to be out with them very frequently. I recollect in June of the present year going up stairs one day and finding the major's room door locked. My sister was on the stairs at the time, I knocked, but received no answer. J went to Mrs. Norton's bedroom, and after I had been there about a quarter of an hour I saw Mrs. Ellis come out of the room and go downstairs, and the Major followed her in about five minutes. I have on other occasions seen her leave the major's bedroom when he was there. I have also seen her there in the evening between eight and nine. I was going up to my room to dress. Mr. Ellis WAS that evening in the drawing-room, and Major Foster was in his bedroom, and about 12 o'clock of that night I saw Mrs. Ellis come out of the major's room evidently thinking she was unobserved. I recollect Mrs. Ellis taking a bath in her bedroom. I was attending on her. The door was open. The major and lieutenant wore then out. I heard them coming then up stairs, when I asked her if I should shut the door, and she said, "Oh, never mind, it's only the major." I shut the door. After she came out of the bath she got into bed, and then Major Foster brought her some shrimps and bread and butter. (Laughter.) I asked if I should be wanted any more that evening, when Mrs. Ellis said "No," and I left the room, the major being there. On one occasion I went into the drawjjig•room uneapeCtedly, when they were both sitting close together. The Judge—How were they sitting ? Witness—He was sitting in a rocking-chair, and she was sitting on his lap . The Judge—And that is what you call sitting close together. (Laughter.) Witness—l have seen the major kiss Mrs. Ellis. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l don't know Berridge. I know a Mrs, Affleck, I told her I had a sister. She was asking me about this affair. Mr. Barron first spoke to me about my evidence. I told him about the bath and the locking of the doer. Did not Mr. Barron show you Mrs. Aliffeck's address ? Well now, I recollect he did. Then Mr. Barron was not the first person who spoke to you about your evidence P—No ; he was not. I have been in a servant's home, but not a reformatory. Mrs. Aftleck got me the situation I at present hold. Sarah Loeber—l used to live at 39, Somerset•street' Portman-square, as cook. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis and Major Foster were lodging there at the time, which was in the August and September of the present year. T used to notice that the major was very attentive to Mrs. Ellis. I have seen them in each others bedroom, One day I was in Mrs. Ellis's bedroom, when a note was brought, and she told me it was from the jewellers. She read it and then said, "oh, they have not got enough hair." She then directed me to get her the scissors. Having cut some of her hair she put it in an envelope and I gave it to the person who was waiting. Mrs. Ellis told me the hair was for a locket they were going to give the major. When they parted, the lieutenant to go to Gibraltar and the major to India, they both cried, and the major kissed her. By Sergeant Ballaatine—When this took place Mrs. Ellis told her husband it was a very sad parting. Several other witnesses having been examined, The jury returned a verdict for the petitioner, with £6,003 damages against the co-respondent. Decree nisi with costs. EX7RAO.RDINARY DELIBERATION IN COMMIT ZING SUICIDE. A singular case offelo de se, accompanied by cir cumstances of extraordinary premeditation and re solution, was investigated by Mr. H. R. Walthew, the deputy coroner, on Thursday, at the Adam and Eve Tavern, Lower Homerton. Joseph Wooden, Horner-place, Hackney, said that last Monday he was fishing with two other young men in the River Lea, near the Hackney Marshes. Upon shifting their position a little they observed a man standing on the opposite bank, who hailed them, and inquired whether it was 3 o'clock They replied that it was past that hour. He then took from his pocket a silk handkerchief, and hold ing it up said, " You may as well have this, would you wish it P" They answered that they should, but that it was too far to go round to get it. He an swered, "Your journey is not so long as the one I am going to make.'' He spoke with such perfect ease and indifference that witness thought he was merely joking, He returned the handkerchief to his pocket, and without moving his feet bent down and deliberately dived into the water. He rose once,and then sank finally. Witness and his companions ran round to the locksman, who brought the drags, and the body was recovered. J. Cadmore said that he was locksman at the Ho morton Lock. When he got the body of the deceased out of the water he found that the limbs and arms were bound together in an extraordinary manner. The ankles were tied close together by a cord. Another cord passing round the body outside the arms, above the elbows, kept the arms fixed to the sidrs. The wrists were fastened within a few inches of each other by means of slip knots. No doubt de ceased was a first rate swimmer, and he tied himself up in order to be sure not to float through invo luntary struggling in the water. Witness had observed the deceased on the Saturday and Sun day previous apparently examining the banks in such a peculiar way that he watched him. The body was dressed in clothes which were all nearly new. In the pockets were found some copper money, and the duplicate of a ring, pledged for 10s., at Seeker's, City-road. A police-sergeaut said that inquiries at Seeker's had failed to discover anything, but that the ring had been pledged by a young woman on Dec. 12. No clue could be obtained as to the identity of the deceased. Dr. Wright said that deceased was apparently 40 years of age, and was a healthy man. From the evidence witness had heard he should infer that deceased was of sane mind, and knew perfectly well the nature of the act he was about to commit. The Coroner then summed up, and the jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict of If elo de se. The Coroner remarked that a more deliberate perpetration of felo de se it would be difficult to find, and he immediately issued his warrant for the interment of the body by torchlight, and without the ries of Christian burial.

The hills of Ingouville appeared to be surmounted by a luminous glow of blue colour, from which darted at intervals flashes of a deep mi. The glow was at times so intense that several persona imagined that a fire must have broken out in that direction. Cardinal Wiseman is announced to lecture on Friday, Jan. 30, at the Royal Institution, on the points of contact between science an art, ROBBERY BY A. CHARWOMAN. —Eliza Jess, a char woman, Ting in Carnaby-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a crape shawl, some brooches and bracelets, and other articles of the value of £6 from Mr. Wm. Fenn, whitesmith, of 10, West-street, Golden-square. Mr. Fenn said the prisoner had been in his employ some time as charwoman. For some months he had missed se veral articles, amongst others bracelets, rings, brooches, a crape shawl, a coral necklace, &c. Suspecting the pri soner to be the person who had taken the articles he gave information to the police. Mr. Edward Stafford, jeweller, of Princes-street, said that about Lye weeks ago the prisoner brought some of the articles produced to his shop, and he bought them of her for 4s. 6d, She also brought him a coral necklace which he bought, but had since sold. Mr. Knox—To one 3f your regular customers Witness—No, sir. _ _ Mr. Knox—Did you ask any questions of the prisoner Witness--I asked her if they were her own, and she said they were, Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said between nine a , d ten the pre vious night he saw the prisoner in Carnaby-street, and from the description he had received he suspected she was the person he was in search of. Seeing her he asked;if her name was Jess, and whether she had worked at Mr. Fenn's; she answered both questions in the affirmative. He then asked if she was aware that several things had been stolen from Mr. Fenn, and she said she was. He then told her that he was a police officer and that he should take her into custody, and cautioned her. On going to her room he found two duplicates relating to articles which she said did not belong to Mr. Fenn, but to another person she worked for. She then said that she had sold some studs belonging to Mr. Fenn to a Mr. Benjamin, and two brooches, two rings, and a necklace to a little jeweller in Princes-street. She also said that she had pledged the crape shawl and two brooches at Mr. Bertram's, pawnbroker, in Princes. street. The prisoner said that as she had told him (Cole), she hoped the prosecutor would be lenient with her, and that she did not know what possessed her to do it. In answer to a question from Mr, Knox, Sergeant Cole said that he was afraid drink was the cause of the prisoner acting as she had done, and that it was not the first time. She was remanded for a week. (Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) HUDSON V. SIR P. SLADE AND OTHERS. This case (the particulars of which will be found in another column) was resumed to-day. Mr. John Cale, inspector of the City Police division, 3d division, the inspector who was on duty at the Fleet-street station when Mr. Hudson was brought there, was called as the first witness this morning. He said that Mr. Bagshawe charged Mr. Hudson with stealing a book, and he then in sisted that Mr. Hudson should go into the felon's dock. Two or three other gentlemen were there. Mr. Rodwell was one, and he believed Sir Frederick Slade was there. Sir F. Slade (laughing and standing up)—l am Sir F Slade. Witness—l believe Sir F. Slade was there. Mr. Collier, who was examinin g the witness—l believe the witness•is mistaken about Sir Frederick Slade, lam told that it was Mr. Digby Seymour who was there. The witness then stated the circumstances connected with the charge at the station, and the reason why he dis missed it. Mr. Bagshawe charged thaprisonerwithtaking the book, but witness declined accepting the charge in that shape. Mr. Hudson inquired whether Mr. Bagshawe charged him with stealing the book, and Mr. Bagshawe said the terms were synonymous. Witness remarked that if Mr. Hudson stole the book it was easy to say so. Mr. Bagshawe declined to say that the plaintiff stole the book, and witness therefore dismissed the charge. The inspector, who gave his evidence with the greatest clearness and propriety, was cross-examined at some length by Mr, Sergeant Pigott, but nothing of any conse quence came out of it, except that he said that Mr. Bag shawe distinctly used the word stealing. By Mr, Collier—lf Mr. Hudson had not been charged with stealing in the first instance he should not have ordered him into the felon's dock. He had afforded the defendants as much assistance as he had rendered to the plaintiff in this matter. Another police officer was called to prove the same facts. Mr. M. Chambers said this was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Shee proceeded to address the jury for the defence. There were two issues on the record—first, did the defendants assault the plaintiff in the way described P and secondly, did they in their parliament chamber or at the police-station give the plaintiff in custody on a charge of felony ? He contended that there had been no deli berate, formal, persisted-in charge of stealing preferred against Mr. Hudson, and that it would be idle to suppose that the Benchers for a moment suspected that there was, on the part of Mr. Hudson, an animus furandi, which was necessary to substantiate a charge of stealing. In fact, Mr. Hudson made very light of the charge, and was not detained at the police-station more than a few minutes, and subjected to no real inconvenience. There was no evidence that either of the defendants, except Mr. Bag shawe, gave Mr. Hudson into custody, and the jury would have the opportunity of hearing from Mr. Bagshawe what really did take place at the police-station. Then came the question—did the defendants assault and " rummage " the plaintiff? This involved the character of the plaintiff, and also, however painful it might be, the character of another gentleman, and also the character of the dekndants, who were entrusted by the Government with an important discretion over the members of the legal profession. Well, then, did they assault and rummage the plaintiff? No doubt they did, for in this case the maxim " Qui facit per alium facit per se," and th) Benchers were responsible for what was done, but he denied that either of the defendants personally took part in the assault. What occasion was there for the Benchers to call in their porters and servants to assist them ? Mr. Hudson was a small spare . man, and Sir Frederick Slade could have held him up in his hand without the slightest difficulty —(laughter)—and so, he believed, could Mr. Bagshawe have done. They advisedly took no personal part in the assault, but they called in their servants because they be lieved that when a thing was to be done with violence the more force used the better. In fact, it was the learned trea surer who presided who ordered the servants to obtain the book from Mr. Hudson, but he (the learned sergeant) ad mitted at once that all the defendants were guilty, if they had not a justification for what they had done. The learned counsel, referring to Mr. Digby Seymour's case, out of which the present trial arose, urged upon the jury that the profession of a barrister should not be allowed to be made a cloak and cover for professional dishonesty, and that a charge made against any of its members should be sifted to the bottom, in order that the fame of the profession might be untarnished. The next point to which the learned sergeant directed attention was, whether the papers which Mr. Hudson took were really his, and he came to the conclusion that they were only his as a director of the company, writing, with the assumed authority of the company, to the manager of the mine in Virginia. Mr. Hudson, he maintained, would not have been justified in taking away the b, ok containing his instructions to th , : manager when he ceased to be a member of the board. The book was the property of the Waller Mining Company, and havinglbeen handed to the Benchers by one of the officers of the company was for the time lawfully in their possession. Mr. Hudson, he urged, obtained possession of the book by an unworthy and disreputable contrivance in order to screen himself from the peril of being proved guilty of that which was only suspected against Mr. Seymour, and to prevent the Benchers from arriving at a fair judgment. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.l COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) FOSTER V. POSTER AND BERRIDGE. This extraordinary case was resumed this morning. Joanna Mahony, cross-examined by the Queen's Advo cate—l was a servant at Mr. Nolan's for about eight months. I went in 1861, and left in July, 1862. I remem ber Lieutenant and Mrs. Ellis and Major Foster coming to lodge there. I often observed that the major and Mrs. Ellis went into the lieutenant's bedroom when he went out. It was my duty to wait on the lodgers. I told my mistress about it. I assisted to dress Mrs. Ellis in the drawing room. I have seen the major there. Mrs. Ellis wore a great many dresses. The major used to assist me to lace her dress sometimes, as he thought I could not do it. I mean her outside dress. Mr. Ellis used to go to bed about 11 o'clock. He used to retire first. Mrs. Ellis and the major used to sit up after that. Mrs. Ellis used to turn off the gas at night. After breakfast she generally went up stairs, where sbe used to remain for some time. Re-examined by Sergeant BAllantine—Neither Mrs. Ellis don't I Majo recollect F llect osterg ever calling me a inghim ilY, l h th il e g ol w d hen major."th lelftu.sedl to see what I have spoken of because I had to attend on another family on the second floor. I used to see them in the major's bedroom on the third floor when I went up stairs to get an apron. I don't recollect how many times I have seen them in one day. Tho Judge—Try and recollect. Witness--I can't. The Judge—Well, was the door open ? Witness—lt was ajar about so much (about a foot and a half.) In answer to other questions from the learned counsel, the witness said—l have seen them in Grant's room. He was Mr. Ellis's servant. She used to go into the bed room before breakfast. It was generally an every day occurrence. The dress I have spoken of was blue ball dress, and it laced behind. By the Queen's Advocate—M y hands were not too dirty to lace the dress. The major thought he could pull it to gether better than I could. (Laughter.) Mr. Ellis through illness sometimes used to remain in bed till 11 or 12 o'clock. He used to go out walking sometimes about 2 or 3 in the afternoon. The Judge—How often ? Witness—l don't recollect. The Judge—Yes you can. Witness—l can't remember how often. The Judge sought to ascertain whether it was Mr. Ellis's custom to go out of an afternoon, and at what time, but she would not give a direct answer, and the judge directed her to stand down. Mary Ann Bartholomew—l was servant in June of the present year at Mrs. Norton's, 26, Orchard-street, Port man-square. Major Foster, his son, Lieutenant, and Mrs. Ellis were lodging there. The major occupied the back room on the second-floor, his son the same room, and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis the two drawing-rooms, the back one being the bed-room. They all sat in the front room. Grant's room was on the third floor. I recollect on one occasion I went to prepare the major's bed-room, when I found it locked. I knocked, and got an answer from Mrs. Ellis. She said I could come in in a minute or two. I did not wait, but went into the front room on the same floor. I ( saw Mrs. Ellis come ont of the major's room about 20 minutes after I had knocked. It was about half-past nine. She had her petticoats on with a dressing-gown over them. After she left I saw Major Foster come out in about five minutes after. On another occasion I found the same door locked, when Mrs. Ellis told me I could come in directly. I waited outside the door for about 10 minu tea, when Mrs, Ellis came out and went into the drawing-room. In 10 minutes after the major came out. I have besides this scan Mrs. Ellis go into the major's bedroom before break fast, and also at other times. Lieut. Ellis sometimes did not get up all the day. One da y I heard Mrs. Ellis say 4i Go up stairs, major, and I'll come after." In about t wo o r three minutes after he went.

In the early stage of her appearances some en deavours were made to reclaim her from the vicious course of life she was leading, and she was sent by Mr. Arnold home to her friends, who are very respectable, but returned in less than a week and resumed her former habits. Step by step she has descended the ladder of vice and violence, and on two or three occasions has hurled concealed mis siles or the office inkstands at the magistrate's head. On her being placed before Mr. Paynter yesterday he inquired whether she had anything in her hand. The gaoler replied in the negative ; everything, even the hats of persons had been put out of her reach. Fria .ner—l have got something in my hand ; don't you see, I am holding my dress up. Look you Mr. Paynter—You must keep yourself quiet. Prisoner—Or Ore you'll transport me, of course. You would like, would'nt you P A Policeman proved that the found the accused intoxi cated in a gentleman's doorway, in St. George's-square, at 6 on the previous evening, and endeavoured to remove her, when she used the most horrible language. Prisoner (to the magistrate)--Well, now, what would you like to do with me, eh P 1 came out of prison yester day morning—you'd send me back. Mr. Paynter—What did she have last time ? Gaoler—A month, and her conviction was returned. Prisoner—Yes, her conviction was returned, and she had been returned to liberty two days in the last four months. You're making me quite reputable. I have no opportunity of being otherwise unless I do wrong in prison. Mr. Paynter—l shall remand you for the production of your last conviction, and then send you for three months. The prisoner's conduct here beggars all description. THAMES. OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—A woman named Phoebe Williams, and better known as Jeffreys, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with ob taining two red Crimean shirts, value 205., from Mr. John Dent, hosier, by means of false pretences. It appeared that on Thursday last the prisoner waited on Mr. Dent, and represented that she had been sent by Mrs Eliza Marshall, of Great Russell-place, Poplar, for two Crimean shirts, which were to be of the best quality. Mr. Dent, having a customer of the name and living at the place mentioned, allowed the prisoner to have the shirts and to leave the house with them, but having some suspicions, he followed her and saw her go into a public house. lie waited some time, and did not see her come out again, she slipped out:the back way Mr. Dent then made enquiries of Mrs. Marshall, and ascer tained from her that she had nut sent the prisoner for the shirts, or given her any authority to make use of her name. The prisoner was sought after and apprehended yesterday by a police constable, who found upon her a pawnbroker's duplicate relating to the Crimean shirts, which she pawned a few minutes after she obtained them for 6s. The dupli cates of a new pair of boots and a dress piece were also found upon the prisoner, and it is supposed that she also obtained those articles by false pretences. The prisoner said she was guilty, and begged for mercy.- In answer to questions by the Magistrate she said she was thirty-eight years of age, a widow and without children. She had known Mrs. Marshall and her family some time, but was not on terms of inti macy with her. A poor Irishwoman, with whom the prisoner has been lodging, said, " Och, yer honner's wortship forgive her, she did it for the little dhrop of drink. Mr. Selfe—You are a very bad advocate my good woman. You have made the case worse. This is a very serious offence indeed. A tradesman cannot be on his guard against a thing of this kiwi. The prisoner has committed a moat impudent fraud, in fact stolen two shirts. I convict her of larceny under the provisions of the Criminal Justice Act, and sentence her to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.—James Finn, a heavy morose-looking ruffian, about 33 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with committing a savage assault on a young woman named Louisa Lausendoff, whose mouth was severely cut and swollen, and who ex hibited other marks of violence on her head, face, and arms. The parties have cohabited together for three years, and were living at the time the outrage took place at No. 62, Back Church lane, St. George-in-the-East. The woman, though maltreated in a savage manner by her paramour. was disinclined to give any evidence against him, and said she did not want to hurt him. Sne could not say whether he gave her a blow or not. On being closely pressed by the magistrate's questions, she admitted that when she was before the inspector at the station-house, she said the pri soner had beaten her and kicked her, but she was not cer tain about it now. She had a fit. Mr. Selfe—And so have I had a fit. Call the police constable. Robert Billings, 103 H, said—l was upon duty in Back Church-lane and heard cries of " Murder," and "Help." The woman was bleeding from the ears, nose, and mouth, and lying upon the pavement. She was almost dead. I saw him kick her, and when she got up he knocked her down. I said to him, "You rascal, what are you doing," and took him into custody. Two or three men came up and got him away from me, and thrashed him. I got him away from them and lodged him in the station-house. In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe, the constable said the woman had no power to resist the man at all. His heel was upon her face when he first saw them. He was the worse for liquor. She was sober. Mr. Selfe said aby utal outrage had been committed. It was not a question bdtween the wretched woman and the prisoner, but one in which the public were concerned. He convicted the prisoner o f the assault, and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. He did not care about the unwillingness of the woman to prosecute. He would not allow any woman to be knocked about in such a barbarous manner, as far as he was concerned,. with impunity. SHIPPING---THIS DAY.

The Goveinment intends, it is said, to confine itself to calling on the Chambers to approve of the ex penses incurred in 1862, over and above the last. Budget regularly voted, that is to say, of 1861. As far as regards the Constitutional question, the Mi nistry will not make any concessions, bst will pre sent to the Chamber the War Budget of 1863, under a form which will involve the reduction of the mi litary service to two years THIRD EDITION.. SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. PRUSSIA. LORI) PALMERS7ON Al ROMSEY. ROMSEY, THURSDAY. The annual dinner of the Agricultural Society took place this afternoon at the White Horst, Hotel. Viscount Palmerston presided. Amongst the guests were Sir H. Jervoise, M.P., the Hou. Mr. Dutton, M.P., Mr. C. J. Taylor, Mr. C. J. Lordam (the Mayor), the Rev. E. Berthon (the Vicar), and e. very large number of the influential agriculturists of the district. Lord PALMERSTON, in proposing the first toast said—lt is one which expresses the strongest feel ing in the bosom of all Englishmen—a hearty wish for the health of the Queen. (Loud cheers.) There never was a Sovereign, of whom it could be more emphatically said she reigns in the hearts and affec tions of the people—and that attachment which has long warmed the breast of every Englishman has been, I may say increased, and in some degree sof tened, by d eep sympat h y w ith t h a t h eav y affliction which her Majesty has had to undergo, and which she has borne with a fortitude and reJignatiorr ex emplary to all her subjects. The toast was received with the greatest enthu siasm. The Noble Lord again rose and said,—l now beg to propose the health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family.. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness has seen perhaps as much of the world, and more of the world, than almost any man of his age, and wherever he has been, he has won golden opinions, and conciliated the affection and respect of all with whom he has come in contact. (Cheers.) He is now about to de that which seldom falls to the lot of a Royal Prince, namely, to make a love marriage. (Much cheering.) He has every prospect of all the happiness which, can attend the marriage state, for he is about too marry a Princess distinguished by all those quali— ties which adorn either a Princess or a person of any other rank. There is every prospect of happi- ness for him, and every prospect of that welfare which naturally belongs to a country where there is a successor to the Crown fitted to conciliate the affection and commend the esteem of a people. (Great cheering, and " One cheer more for the Princess.") His Lordship next said—The toast which I have now to propose is " The Army, Navy, and Volun teers." We are happily at peace. Long may we so continue! (Cheers.) It is an old saying—but; all old sayings are not invariably true—that in. peace men turn their spears into ploughshares.. Now I think that in order to enable the ploughshare to pursue its avocation with success and safety it is well that there should be the sword in its neigh-- bourhood. (Hear.) We fortunately have iron enough in this country both for swords and plough shares, and we have also hands sufficient to wield both, and I trust that both will be wielded when occasion requires with equal skill and success. (Loud cheers.) It is satisfactory to know that our army and our navy are in a state of the most com plete efficiency. I may say that they never were more efficient as far as organisation and disci pline and instruction are concerned. (Cheers.) With regard to the volunteers I need say no thing, because they happily are Eo numerous and so scattered all over the island that every man must know from his own experience what pro ficiency they have made in discipline, in the use of arms, and in military evolutions; and I trust the Romsey volunteers are not behind-hand with their comrades in any part of the country. (Cheers.) The toast was responded to by Captain ALLsor, of the Volunteers. The NOBLE LORD, having proposed " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," said—l will now pro pose " The health of the two gentlemen by whom yeti are so efficiently represented in Parliament," and they are also entitled to your consideration from the fact that they are themselves practical farmers. There was a time when the agricultural interest felt a peculiar anxiety with respect to its representatives in Parliament. There was a titne , when they apprehended, groundlessly, in truth, but sincerely, nevertheless, that measures were in con • templation which would ruin the agricultural in terest by throwing open the trade in foreign corn. Those days have passed away. These alarms have vanished. The cultivators of the soil have found that that freedom of commerce to which they looked with dismay has only stimulated them to greater exertion ; and, therefore, whatever may be the: merits of your present members, and however com petent they may be to fight your battles under pre sent circumstances, their labours in defending what is conceived to be the agricultural interest are lighter than they would have been at former periods (Hear.) So much the better for them. Their labours are less, and, thefefore, they will be better able to perform them. The toast was drunk with the usual honours. After the toasts of " The Mayor and Corporation of Romsey," and " The healths of the bucei:Beid and unsuccessful candidates," Lord PALMERSTON said—l am now about to give a toast which I might be somewhat diffident in pre posing, because I have some interest in it, and that is "Prosperity to Romsey Market?' (Cheers.) It is very gratifying to those who went over the ground to-day to see the improvement which has taken place in the show. (Hear, hear.) Bei we must not conceal from ourselves the criticisms that are made by others, and I am afraid it is too true that Hampshire farming does not stand so high in general estimation as the farming i, some other counties of England. It, has, however limproved, and will, I trust, go on improving. (Cheers.) It is not for me to pretend to talk about farming to practical farmers like those who are are present, and who under s t a nd th es e matters much better than I can d o; b ut t h ere are things which strike even the most ignorant, and when a man walks over a field of turnips and sees it full of char lock he must say there is room for some improve ment. (Cheers and a laugh.) With regard to the charlock, I was glad to see the turnip fields looking greener than usual, with less of that picturesque yellow than we have seen in former years. (Laugh ter.) lam afraid the botanist might have revelled in the excess of "couch," but we are told that the wetness of the season may in some degree account for that. But there is no doubt respecting one fundamental principle of farming, and that is to keep the land clear, because weeds cannot grow without nourishment, and the nourishment of which the weeds rob the soil is the nourishment which ought to go to the plant which it is the interest and profit of the farmer to cultivate. (Hear, hear.) We have seen a statement made, and I have seen an example of it, that a gentleman at Brighton has made a wonderful improvement in the growth of wheat. By carefully selecting his seed, and by dibbling those seeds so as to give room for each plant to grow, he produces wheat ears infinitely larger than those of the common plant, and the stalk is considerably stronger. I saw not long ago in Derbyshire a field of wheat which was so grown, and I was astonished at the produce which it yielded. (Hear.) These are things wh ich every body would naturally turn their attention to, and the more the farmers bend thei r min ds to improve ments the better it will be for the m. Competition and rivalship always set people aw a k e . Monopoly then proposed th e h ea lth o f always goes to sleep. Mr. DUTTON, ALP ., the Chairman, to which his lordship briefly re turned thanks. After several other toasts of a local character had b een given, his lordship reti re d am id s t loud cheers, and the party separated. 7 a ped all ig. 2s. 6d., 1; 0,_8.~ 44} 20 28.2,811 zo•11 160 100 100 100 100 40 6.15. 8.1?
