The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth, laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning the nuptial cup with bitter malig - nity, or rendering the matrimonial con tract impossible; destroying health, curtailing life, and making it, during - its brief career, a scene of anguish, from the consciousness of humiliating infirmity. The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths, the hereditary and perpetuated ailments, and the matri monial discords and vandals, described, in convential par lance, as " unaccountable " and "mysterious." In cases of threatened or excitent injury to or suspension of faculties whose soundness and vigour form such a prominent consti tuent in human happiness, sufferers may have their fears re moved, the mischief, however severe and inveterate, eradi cated, and their warmest hopes of restoration to life's prero gatives fully realised. Dr. LA'MERT, M.D., has been eng a g ed for 20 years in the treatment of these disorders, and his treatise on Self-Pre servation " describes how all the attributes of Manhood are lost or suspended, and how they can be restored and main tained in health and vigour to an advanc ed p eriod of life.

The annual meeting of the Cotton Supply Association took place at the Town-hall, Manchester, yesterday. Mr. John Cheetham, the president, took the chair. Mr. Bazley, M.P., Mr. Edmond Ashworth, Mr. Malcolm Rose, Col. Cotton, Mr. Cross, and M. Krcitzer Rassaertz (the French consul), were amongst the gentlemen present. The CHAIRMAN said—Owing to the great length of the report, and its being printed, Mr. Heywood, the secretary, would read only a portion of it, and the rest would be taken as read. Mr. HEYWOOD then read the following extracts : " Your association, since its first formation, has unceas ingly laboured, with the means placed at its disposal, to awaken and fix attention upon the approach of the prt sent crisis ; and no country, in either hemisphere, has been allowed to slumber in ignorance of the coming calamity. Through evil and through good report your committee have resolutely struggled against inert indifference, and have combated opposition. Nor have they laboured without suc cess, as their accumulated records prove, as the public press has testified, and the activity now displayed in numerous cotton-growing countries undoubtedly proves. India is our chief reliance, and from the first formation of your associa tion your committee have never ceased to direct their chief attention to that country, possessing as it does every ele ment of climate, soil, and labour, necessary to furnish us with adequate supplies of the cotton. Your committee cannot but refer with satisfaction to the adoption of several great and important measures or proposals which have been urged upon the attention of the Indian Government by your association, with a view to the improvement of the system of land tenure, the construction of roads, and the creation of greater facilities for communication in that country. But your committee regret to observe that the wise and beneficent policy of his Excellency the late Lord Caning, by resolutions in October last, sanc tioning the redemption of the land revenue and the sale of the waste lands in fee simple, is again likely to be reversed. They cannot but regard the present intention of the Indian Government to reverse the policy of Lord Canning as highly injurious not only as regards India itself, but as totally destructive of all confidence and reliance in the promises of our Indian rulers. Moreover, the Landholders' and Commercial Association of British India have protested against the intentions of the India house on these subjects as 'an injustice, and as involving great confusion and possible loss to parties who have made arrangements, on the faith of Lord Canning's resolutions, for the sale, transfer, and cultivation of land. In the month of July, 1861, your committee, with the view to obtain as reliable information as possible upon various subjects of great interest and importance in relation to the cotton trade of India, in conjunction with the Manchester Cotton Com pany, deputed Mr. Haywood, their commissioner, to visit that country. In another part of this report reference will be made to an interview which he solicited and obtained with his Highness Said Pacha, the Viceroy of Egypt. Pro ceeding to Bombay, and after an interview with his Excel lency Sir G. Clark, Mr. Haywood visited the several dis tricts of Sholapoor, Dharwar, Bellary, Khandeish, Western Berar, Guzerat, and Kattiwar. Your committee regret to state that owing to a series of delays arising out of the de ferred transfer of the district of North Canara from the Bombay to the Madras Presidency, he was unable to visit several other cotton-growing districts of India which it was his intention to visit on leaving England. The result of his investigations have already, to some extent, been published in this country ; and your committee are now in a position, through the information thus obtained by their commis sioner, to deal in a practical manner with many of the difficulties they have had to contend with upon Indian questions. The conclusions arrived at by Mr. Haywood, in reference to India, may be summarised as follows : 1. It is erroneous to suppose that a stock of 6,000,000 bales of cotton exists at this moment in India, only awaiting the means of purchase and export. 2. That had land and water communications been more exten sively opened throughout India our present exports from that country would now have been doubled. 3. That it is impossible, in the absence of reliable Indian statistics, with any proximate accuracy to estimate the annual growth of cotton in India. Various estimates have been assumed,but the truth lies between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 bales per annum. It is disputed by some that this quantity can be produced from the fact that a large proportion of the native children have no clothing—but apart from clothing, cotton is also used as stuffing for beds and pillows, as wadding, for the manufacture of ropes. cord, and multifold other pur poses; add to this the annual waste occasioned by the de fective clea ning, damage from the monsoon, careless pack ing, and the probability is that the above estimate cannot be excessive. 4. That the rapid completion of the leading lines of railway in India will prove an enormous advantage by hastening the establishment of European agencies in the interior, whether by public companies or merchants,and by bringing the crop down to the ports in time for export, before the setting in of the monsoon. 5. That branch feeders, whether railways or roads, will be required to con nect the main lines with the remoter districts. 6. That especial attention ought to be given to the immediate con struction of bridges upon lines of road that are now useless for want of them, the construction of which would save thousands of miles of circuitous traffic. The natives in various parts of India would willingly subscribe towards their construction if solicited, and fairly dealt with. With a view to alleviate the approaching distress, the association, at the close of 1861, took active measures to encourage the consumption of East Indian cotton, and encountered se rious difficulties arising from prejudice alone. Some alarm was created among importers from Bombay,in consequence of reports which were circulated as to the refusal of the trade to use it. Your committee at once procured samples of every description of East Indian cotton in the market, and samples of yarn spun therefrom were procured from those spinners who had become alive to the practicability of the consumption. Messrs. Simpson, of Preston, furnished samples of 30's, 36's, and 40's;yarn made entirely from East Indian cotton, which were exhibited at the rooms of the association. Numerous objections were raised as to its capability of being woven, bleached, dyed, and printed equal to yarn and goods made from American cotton. Cloth was at once procured from Messrs. Simpson and Co., which was considered of very fair marketable quality. Messrs. J. Pender and Co. had it bleached and dyed together with similar pieces made from American cotton, when the dif ference was scarcely perceptible. Through Messrs. Mosley, Hurst, and Co., they procured a number of pieces printed by Messrs. Fernihough and Co. These were admitted to equal similar styles in American cloth; and it was proved that East Indian was admirably adapted to Turkey red dyeing. From numerous spinners a large collection of yarns was obtained, ranging from No. 4's to No. 70's,all guaranteed exclusively from East Indian cotton, including sample bundles of 40's and 50's, presented by Messrs. Robinson, Crum, and Co., of Aberdeen, and also cloth from Messrs. Simpson and Co., of Preston; Messrs. Eskrigge and Barr of Stockport ; Mr. John Walker, of Bury. The latter were successively bleached, dyed, and printed, in order effectually to remove the objections that were brought forward from week to week at the exhibition at the rooms of the asso ciation." The CHAIRMAN said, under the grave circumstances by which the cotton trade was surrounded at the present moment, the thoughts and attention of all present would probably be directed as to what, supposing the continuance of the unfortunate struggle in America, would be the po sition in which they would be placed as to the supply Of cotton from other countries. Unquestionably India was the chief source to which they must look for any large in crease of supply in replacement of that which had been withdrawn by the troubles in the United States. Mr. Laing, in his recent speech at Manchester, had stated what he (the chairman), from all the information possessed by the association, believed to be true, that, as re garded the increase of cotton supply from India and on which many persons were relying, they must bring their anticipations within a narrower boundary than many of them had contemplated, and not calculate upon this year's crop exceeding the last. He confessed that he, individually, was disappointed. He had calculated that, even assuming there was no increased cultivation in India, the wider area which would be created, the high price enabling a much greater expenditure in transit to be laid out, and enabling us to gather from more remote districts than previously, that the result, would have bee n su ffi c i ent to i ncrease t h e supply for the current twelve mont h s. Unfortunate l y, h e b el i eved that was in tot b e d r o u from anddiwteh acnollitdhenmotillsiaofnelbyaelexspewcet more received last year. What, then, was the future of India ? He believed that in some districts there was a larger breadth of cotton sown for the forthcoming year, but not at all in proportion to what might have been expected by the sti mulus of the present high prices. The fact was that India was a peculiar country. There were difficulties attending it which did not exist in other countries. The chief diffi culty was that the English purchaser did not deal with the cotton growers. The attempt to do so was surrounded by obstacles which in the opinion of many rendered it next to impossible. The only district which he looked upon with satisfaction in India was that of Dharwar, one of those selected for experiment when the East India Company em ployed certain American planters to cultivate American cotton in India. R e believed four districts were then set out, of which Dharwar was one. After the exp en di ture of a considerable sum, those Am an p la nters officially re ported that the climat e and eoil n, of a ndlntdhiea were unsuitable to the growth of American cotton, let far.y retired, leaving three out of the four districts a comp elure. The fourth, Dharwar, would have been th e same, had it not with been for an active civil commissioner , who without auth or it y from by this, go vernment, and instigated his own desi re that ultivating cut' to hfm, promising enterprise of c lc see d s s hould be persevered in, undertook on pensi_ res bility the toil and labour of encouraging and enforci ng is $ the owitiyiltzut of the Bowe d egre e upon th e native plant. He had to pass for some years through serious difficulties, but finally accomplished his object; and now throughout that district the ryot had ascertained that for the cultivation of American seed he received a higher price and a larger product from the soil. In thaNistrict, therefore, had been carried out to some extent the sound principle that the cultivator should know the wishes and wants of the consumer, but that was the only part of India where such an experiment had progressed or even been attempted. In that district Mr. Haywood said the cultivation of Ameri can seed was extending He told the Association so in one of his commu n i ca ti ons f rom India, when, by a s i ngu l ar ac cident, the same mail brought them two other communica tions, one by the late Governor-General, telling them that they had completely misunderstood the intelligence and skill of the ryot, who wanted no instruction whatever, also that the attempt to introduce exotic seed would be a failure ; and one from the governor of Madras, containing the same prediction. They had also before them a large octavo book published by authority of the Government and edited by the President of the Bombay Chamber of Com merce, telling them that the Indian climate and soil were unfavourable to exotic seed, and that they must no longer direct their exertions in that channel. Notwithstanding these statements, contradictory of the report of their com missioners of what he saw with his own eyes, it was found that at Liverpool the results of American seed obtained the highest value of any kind of cotton sold under the name of Indian. (Hear, hear.) In the posi tion in which they were now placed, an d likely to re main for some time to come, this slow progres s was exceedingly unsatisfactory. They were in a position un exampled in the history of the trade, and it appeared to him that efforts unexampled should also be made to alleviate that position and the distress which was being endured by their operatives. Ho thought that for the future interests of this country and of India also, it was far more important that the vality of the cotton p ert' from Tndla shoula be improved, even m ore too than the quantity. They were de sirous not to return again to what Mr. Laing hinted at, and which if the present state of things continued would inevi tably come to pass, their allegiance to the slave-grown cotton of the Southern States, but were desirous to see some large competitor, who should hereafter take ita the supply of this country in place of America, permanently, and to the satisfaction of the consumer. He confessed that except as regarded the district of Dharwar, he saw no present pro spect of anything being done to realise that great p ros p ec t in India, and consequently we should live to see, if a return of peace took place in America, and the energies, and skill, and capital of the Southern planter were again directed to the cultivation of cotton, he would be again in possession of the market, and this advantageous opportunity for India would have passed away without that beneficial result which the best friends of India would have desired to see. But they were told by high authorities who cared to instruct them in the details of their own business, that the quality of the cotton needed no improvement, that the quantity was there, and it was only in short supply because of their own inaction and stupidity in not sending agents to buy it. The same opinion prevailed moreover with regard to every cotton-growing country. But all practical men knew that there was no cotton-growing country on the face of the earth where there were not agents who would buy any amount of cotton that was there. There were no agencies wanting. In Turkey, in Syria, in Egypt, and in South America, the native buyers were alert enough to get what cotton was grown. What was wanted was to take steps to improve the quality of Indian cotton, in order that it might take its own place in the market hereafter, and th at we might no longer hear the foolish statement that India did not grow cotton because it did not get the price that would pay the grower. We heard no such complaint from any other cot ton-growing country. The Indian grower did not get the required price because he sent us the most inferior cotton that was grown, and he got a reward in proportion. Unfor fortunately the grower happened to be an individual with whom we could not communicate, and there it was that a duty devolved on the consumer of endeavouring to place himself in more direct relations with the natives. But he (the chairman) contended that it was not solely the duty of the consumer to do this. The important duty of raising India into the settled competitor of America was one the responsibility of which seemed to rest on three parties. A number of gentlemen had already testified their admission of the fact that the consumer was one of those parties, by the formation of the Indian Cotton Company, for the pur pose of direct communication with the ryot, and teaching him what was the precise quality required. In the next place, the Government of Bombay had a very responsible duty as well as interest in this matter. It had frequently been said to him in London, " Why don't you do in India with cotton what was done with sugar and indigo? The native sugar and indigo were so inferior that they were not to be consumed in the English market, but Englishmen went and superintended the cultivation of those articles, and now they have taken a stand equal to any others." But who were the genticinen who superintended that cultivation? Were they the importing merchants, or the shopkeepers and buyers ? ; they were the Madras and Calcutta merchants, who wanted the article for export in return for the goods they brought in. The committee of this associa tion have not been unmindful of bringing this matter before the Bombay merchants, and their answer was a very simple and businesslike one. They said, " We have tried to come in contact with the ryot ; we have sent English agents into the interior, and we have found it won't pay." Of course there was an end of the argument ; those gentlemen best knew their own business. The third party which would be benefited by improving the quality of cotton, so as to make India an exporting country to the extent of two or times her present trade, was the Government of India. Would not the Government derive a better rent for land ? And were the Government, nevertheless, to lie by and say " It belongs to you, as manufacturers, to do it ; you are free traders, and it would be contrary to all political economy if the Government of India trespassed on ground so delicate." Well, what were these gentlemen actually doing—strict free traders as they professed to be ? The Government of India were tea planters and opium growers, making a fair profit. They had iron foundries on their hands, which he was afraid did not yield much profit, and they had found funds and assistance along the banks of the Indus for the Belfast flax growers. To come nearer home, the British tax payer was charged for annual prizes and premiums given by the Go vernment for the cultivation of flax in Ireland, while in England the Government voted funds for a commissioner to increase his breed of salmon, who had-his offices and his clerk in London, and his salary, all paid out of our taxes. It appeared to him monstrous, in the present grave position of so large a portion of our population, that we should be met by quibbles of this kind, and he maintained that there was a duty and a responsibility of the Government to aim to assist in the attainment of the desired object. He was convinced that without the introduction of exotic seed, im proved system of cultivation, and the elevation of the qua lity of the article, we should be compelled to abandon India as our great reliance for the growth of cotton. But there was another country to which he was hopefully looking for ward, and that was the empire of Turkey. The moment we heard speak of Turkey we were accustomed to associate it with unsettled government, disturbed peoples, and the ab sence of security to life and property. He believed that all this was mainly chargeable to only a portion of the Turkish dominions. But there was in Turkey in Europe, and especially in Turkey i n A s i a, along the Syrian coasts' a population capable of cultivati ng co tt on very superior in quality to that of India. This association, during the last 12 months, had sent out a considerable quantity of Ameri can and Egyptian seed, and, in contrast to the Bombay merchants, the Smyrna merchants had said, " If we can increase the exports from Syria, we can materially increase the imports," and they had subscribed a sam for the pur chase of seed, sent one of their number to this country to communicate with the association, and now the pleasing statement was made, from various channels in that coun try, that the next 12 months' supply of cotton, a large pro portion of which would result from American seed, would not be less than 60,000 bales from Turkey in Asia alone. Some time ago a deputation from the association had a very interesting interview with the Turkish ambassador in Lon don to direct his attention to certain difficulties ; he entered fully into their views, and req ueste d them to memo rialise the Sultan. Before that could be done the Turkish Govern ment had sent a despatch to London, from which it ap peared that instructions were already given for the removal of many of those obstacles, one of the most serious of which was the exaction of a tithe on the growth of cotton. In order to encourage cultivators all taxes were abolished upon uncultivated land that should be devoted to cotton growing for the next five years, and a sum of money was set apart for making roads in Turkey and Syria. The prospect of an increased supply also from Egypt was some further con solation for the somewhat disappointing prospect as to In dia. (Hear.) Mr. T. BAZLE Y, M.P., moved the adoption of the report, which. he said, was replete with encouraging facts. For himself he was very much indisposed to address the meet ing at all. He felt somewhat disheartened. He felt that he might perhaps be in a false position, for during 25 years he had been incessantly calling the attention of the trade to the probable dilemma in which it wou ld b e p l ace d . (Applause.) The anticipated crisis had arrived, and al though universal sympathy was extended to them, he deeply deplored that the cotton trade was now dependent on the charity of the benevolent, and that those prudential exer tions had not been called forth that would have placed the great industry of the north of England in a position of se curity and independence. In the Exhibiti on o f th e presen t year were oontributions of cotton from 35 field s o f su pply, and yet this country had essent ially depended on one of them. Why should not efforts be made to develop some half dozen ? People were either lacking in moral courage or lack ing in spirit to invest for their own pre fit and security. There were in that room three bales of very beautiful cotton sent by Mr. Moseley from Calcutta ; . the stapl e was excellent, the 001Qux beautiful, the preperatom tuleurpasied; and if we could receive an abundant supply it would take the place of ' the general supplies from the United States. People had been relying generally upon the operation of the law of sup ply and demand. For nearly two years the price of cotton had been continually advancing; but a five-fold price had not induced exertions to give us the needful supply. Although he computed that not less than 20 millions sterling had been obtained by the advanced prices in cotton, it could not be shown that one shilling of it had been embarked in the cultivation of cotton on an extended scale. (Hear, hear,) No doubt in time the exorbitant price would bring the cot ton, but meantime we were sustaining losses and sufferings that might lead almost to the annihilation of our industry. The same sum of twenty millions would pretty accurately represent the amount of loss which would have been sus tained by the cotton trade, in labour and capital, at the end of the year by that enhanced price. It had been suggested that cotton-spinners and manufacturers should immediately begin to grow cotton to supply themselves. Granted to a great extent that more vigorous efforts ought to have been made, yet he asked whether that part of the community which had been sustaining the loss to the extent of twenty millions should embark in cul ivating the article, the want of which entailed this heavy loss, or whether those who had made the twenty millions of profit should become the pioneers of extended cultivation. In this period of suffer ing and distress ought the calumnies which had been poured forth so freely upon the employers of labour to be so exclu sively devoted to them. We had attained no great and good object in this country without organisation. But on this question hitherto everybody seemed to have been de termined to leave his trade, his workpeople, and commu nity, and take care of himself, pursuing au independent comae which might lead to ruin. They had duties to per form, not only to themselves, but to their country. The whole cetton world was before them, and he hoped efforts would yet be made. He wondered whether those gentlemen who had the spirit to construct so many new mills in Man chester and the district-ve.e._.emr.c4 the sources otsupply and the markets for their products. The prur T .A. was disastrous. But beyond the duties of merchants and ma nufacturers there were important duties devolving on the Government. The cotton trade had been a source of conti nually increasing revenue, and surely no wise minister, seeing that this great industry was dependent on one source of supply, would hesitate to remove all the obstacles to in creasing it. (Applause.) Mr. EDMUND ASHWORTH, vice-president of the associa tion, seconded the adoption of the report. He said that the prominent question for the distressed people of Lancashire to consider at the present juncture was as to the probable quantity of cotton America would send in the future. At a moderate calculation he estimated that, after the present difficulty was over, the cotton-growing States of America would produce one quarter less than heretofore. If, then, there should be a million of bales less from America, from what quarter of the globe would the deficiency be made up ? South America would probably increase from 120,000 bales to 220,000 in a couple of years ; Egypt might double her supplies; the Turkish dominions perhaps would send us another 100,000 ; but this only made 300,000 bales. The fact was they could not now see whence the million of bales were to come from, especially as the reports from India had disappointed them. The Indian Board in London taunted them that there was plenty of cotton in India, waiting only for exportation. A spirited Manchester merchant, therefore, offered to advance a quarter of a million of money to pur chase the cotton if the Indian Board would send an agent to point out where the cotton was to be found. But the Indian Board backed out. (Cheers.) If the Land Tenure Bill and the contract law had been enforced, as was ex pected, India would now have been supplying us with cotton. (Hear.) They had again and again applied to the Govern ment for assistance, and the Government, which ought to be parental, and which ought to have given them every facility, merely said " Grow the cotton yourselves." (Shame shame.) And yet these people in London,who were continually thwart ing them, were servants of the State, whose wages the public paid. (Cheers.) The trade had not united as they might have done in this matter. They ought to demand free access to their fellow-subjects in India, that they might be of mutual benefit to each other. They had found the Turkish Government represented by its ambassador—a Government which had been considered, despotic and fallen—more cor dially respond to their proposition to increase their inter • course with Turkey and the Turkish dominions than the Indian Board had done. (" Shame," and cheers.) The Indian Board had treated them from the first with the greatest contempt and contumely, had stated that which was not true, and had treated all the arguments as those actuated by merely selfish motives. The report was adopted. Mr. M ALCOLM Ross moved the reappointment of officers to serve (luting the coming year. He said one important subject which just nuw engaged their attention was the proposed substitutes for cotton. Without wishing to pro phesy, he believed that in the end they would come back to the point from which they started, and againgekuomludaa cotton to be king. (Hear.) He severely condemned the maladministration of the Indian Board, and detailed the various treatments the Manchester deputations had been subjected to by Sir Charles Wood and his colleagues in council. _ _ _ Mr. HUGE MASON seconded the resolution, and said he was sorry he had to follow the two previous speakers in a strain of strong censure on the doings of Sir Chas. Wood. He did not know what the constituency of Halifax thought of their member; but if the Manchester people had such an incompetent Minister as Sir C. Wood for its member, a huge memorial would soon be got up demanding the imme diate dismissal of a man who so much represented them, and who used the high office with which he had been en trusted to obstruct the operations of those persons who were trying to bring relief to Manchester. (Cheers.) Was there no way of reaching this incompetent Minister ? He (Mr. Mason) saw nothing for it but for the Manchester Chamber of Commerce—to whom Mr. Laing had thrown down the gauntlet—and the Cotton Supply Association, and the Mayor of Manchester with all the municipal consti tuency at his back, to arise and demand the impeachment of a man who had so misconducted himself at the present crisis of our great national industry. (Loud cheers.) It would not do to be silent any longer. They were bound to speak out on this question, and if Lord Palmerston would not dismiss that man from his Cabinet, let them dismiss Lord Palmerston from his premiership. (Cheers.) Who obstructed all the measures ; who was the man who seemed to stand in the way of everything good ? He (Mr. Mason) hesitated not to say that it was Sir Charles Wood. (Cheers.) Let them, the men of Manchester, get up a memorial demanding that officer's dismissal ; it would soon be filled with facts of the most startling character. Let the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Bazley be the first two to write their names; and he (Mr. Mason) would undertake that the example would be followed by hundreds of thousands in Lancashire ; and an appeal of that character surely would not be disregarded by such a man as Lord Palmerston. (Loud cheers.) A vote of thanks was passed to the president, acknow ledged by him, and the proceedings were brought to a close. TRIAL OF 7ILE .RAO SAHIB AT CAWN- PORE. The Bombay journals received by the last mail give de tails of the trial of the Rao Sahib, nephew of the Nana Sahib, at Cawnporc, before the sessions judge, Mr. Pear son. The prisoner, it would appear, was arraigned on two distinct chirges, ono of which was for the murder at Bithoor of the toll-keeper of Sheorajpore and his family. The more atrocious crime, however, charged against him referred to the murder of European officers at Cawnporo during the period of the mutiny. He was also charged with aiding and abetting the rebellion. The trial of this man excited great interest in the Mofussil. The witnesses who were chiefly natives, deposed that Rao Sahib offered a re ward to tho sepoys and sowers, if they brought the heads of the European officers. After hearing this, the horsemen all went away, and, as one witness said, at evening they brought the heads of the officers. The prisoner was at that time standiag in his balcony or ballakhana. The rebel officers showed him the heads; the prisoner then ordered them all to stay in the Kothee of Man Sain Sahib, and told them that the next day they should be rewarded. Next morning the prisoner inspected them all, and instructed them to obey their officers, and gave them four months' pay in advance and some reward. This force consisted of 300 horsemen and two companies of infantry. Twelve wit ness in all were examined for the prosecution, and three or four witnesses were called on behalf of the prisoner. With respect to the charge of murdering the toll-keeper and his family, the evidence went to show they were killed by order of the Rao Sahib, who acted at Bithoor on behalf of the Nana, and whose authority in that position was fully recognised. On this latter charge he was acquitted, but on the heavier indictment of sanc tioninge the murde r o f th ree European officers, he has been convicted, and sent ence d t o be hanged.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 23. The general abstracts showing the acreage under the several crops and the number of live stock in each county and province of Ireland for the present year, taken under the direction of Mr. Donnelly, the Registrar-General, have been printed. They have been compiled from the summaries made by 4,000 enumerators, selected from the constabulary and the metropolitan police, who have been every where readily assisted by the landed proprietors, the clergy of all denominations, and the tenant farmers. The inquiries commenced on the 2d of June, and terminated in the middle of July, during which period the particulars of the acreage under crops and the number of live stook on nearly 600,000 holdings are enumerated. Comparing the returns of this year with last, I regret to say that there is a considerable decrease both in the quantity of land under tillage and in the number of live stock. The total number of acres under cereal crops in 1861 was 2,624,957 ; in 1862, it is 2,552,223, showing a decrease of 72,734 acres. The decrease has occurred chiefly in wheat and oats —in the former, amounting to 43,427, and in the latter to 24,423 acres. There is an increase of 1,000 acres in peas and beans. The net decrease in cereals, comparing 1862 with 1861, is 2.8 per cent. There is a decrease to about the same extent in green crops—that is, 74,785 acres. There is an in crease in turnips of 43,045 acres; in mangold and beet, of 296 acres ; in cabbage, of 491 acres ; car rots, parsnips, vetches, and rape have decreased. The most serious matter is the decrease of land under potatoes, which amounts to 116,187 acres. Meadow and clover covered 1,552,829 acres in 1862, being an increase of 6,623 acres above the extent in sheep, farmers andw e p re i g s 1 obl iged no f a 1861. We have about 150,000 acres under flax, which is 2,000 more than last year. The total de' . crease of land under crops in 1862 is 138,841 acrelsd. Of this area Mr. Donnelly says 117, 832 would seem seem to have merged into grass, 1,066 were returned to as under woods and plantations, and increase the fallow, leaving 19,000 screBs7of vi p e astu re j a o f returned land unstocked.

The number of emigrants who left Ireland from the Ist of May, 1851, to the lat of August, 1862, including males and females, was 1,273,609. This is a large number. But many of them went only to Great Britain, an d would return again. The number of persons who stated it to be their inten tion to leave the country permanently during the first seven months of this year was 45,899, being an increase of 391 over the number who emigrated within the same period in 1861. I Aft er aye nights' rioting and wrecking in Belfast, of live deficieneslB.nteorea some t ed Since the conclusion of the trial, says the Northern Daily Mail, public opinion has swayed to and fro as regards the verdict given. The manner in which her " statement" before sentence tallies with the evidence of the Crown has been generally remarked upon as favouring the idea that she had told the truth. A memorial to the Herne Secre tary asking for a commutation is being prepared, and a public meeting is spOken of with the view of a general req ues t to the same effect to Sir George Grey.

She added that she would not only stop lending, but have back from her what she had lent. The Crown autho rities were very minute in their search for any article of clothing belonging to old Mr. Fleming that could show whether he haaanY hand in the murder, but found nothing. They made him account also for every article of clothing of which he had been possessed. They took down the jaw box and water-closet pipes and dug the whole gar den, without any result." The Glasgow Morning Journal, which warmly espouses the cause of Mrs. M'Lachlan, says :—" No great public or national event could have produced for the time being greater or more universal excite ment than that which prevailed throughout the city on Saturday afternoon. From the opening of the trial on Wednesday all other topics were lost sight of, and the progress. of the case was watched day after day with an attention that has been given to no criminal case, not even excepting the famous Madeline Smith trial. The ferment in the public mind reached the greatest pitch, when, with the issue of the trial, was made known the extraordi nary statement read by the prisoner's counsel before the passing of the sentence. The scene in court whilst Mr. Clark read the paper was a striking one. The prisoner, stolid heretofore throughout her weary sitting, cried bitterly but silently, her grief seem ing greatest whilst the account of the last moments of the murdered woman was being read; but on the conclusion of the statement becoming, whilst Lord Deas told her, in harsh and unmerciful terms, her fixed doom, and his opinion of her:story, once more composed, and wearing, indeed, an air stern even to defiance. The jury who had just settled her fate seemed much more dis Composed than before the reading of the statement, the faces of some of the gentlemen showing a great deal more alarm, in deed, than the prisoner herself did; while the feel ing that prompts some to cry on hearing the death warrant of a fellow-being pronounced seemed overcome by astonishment, one tender-hearted policeman, near the place where the prisoner sat, being the only person we saw shed tears. The aspect of the city at large seemed one of unusual agitation. Meanwhile the miserable woman, delivered over to the charge of Governor Stirling, was at once lodged in the cell which had been prepared in case of an unfavourable verdict. Possessing rare strength of will, she has retained her self-command since sentenced with the same outward quietude as heretofore, and has expressed her innocence in strong terms several times. Whatever her hope of a respite may be, she does not express herself regarding it in any way, making the remark on one occasion that she wished her statement given to the public, not for her own sake, but that for the sake of her hus band and child the world might know she is not the deeply-stained criminal she is convicted of being. Her story finds many believers, and many more, though not convinced, would yet give the unfortu nate woman the due benefit of the doubt as to the justice of the verdict." AT7EMPTED ESCAPE FROM SUSSEX COUN7Y GAOL. frpP o u ll ra l c° him,ewd ,it wash On Wednesday and Thursday last, considerable excitement prevailed at the County Gaol, in conse quence of a prisoner attempting to make his escape from the building. His name is Dimollard Francois, a Frenchman, about 32 years of age. He was com mitted for trial from Eastbourne, on the charge of stealing some silver spoons and wearing apparel at Hailsham. It is the custom at the gaol to allow prisoners awaiting their trial to take two hours' open air exercise each day—one hour in the fore noon and another between 2 and 3 o'clock. On Wednesday, Francois and 12 other prisoners took their afternoon's airing together, being, as usual guarded by turnkeys. At the termination of the exercise they were marched again into the prison and fi n ding the man had not returned, inquired proceeding to the governor to get aletter written. At a prisoner, iting their but the governor had not seen him, and sus picions a replacedhalf-past k for i t n h4e their o,c purpose,lo cells. ck after i it was aFrancois, thought ho u h r o a w ant e d v t however, stoppedhalf ai li time, ehaodf elapsed, the turnkey in whose ward Francois was those that the aw -d ons were at once aroused that he had e ff ected his Wednesday is a day escape. ahsadin passed plain on which visitors are i: h tr:al lv , allowed to see their friends in prison, and the infe rence clothes, and not in the prison garb, this being the through the gate with other persons. The gatekeeper , who has a register of all persons admitted, was positive that no such man as the prisoner was de scribed had gone out, so that the first conclusion seemed to be unfounded. The building was then , searched over and over again. Every crack and corner where it was thought possible a human being might secrete himself was closely inspected, and the place in fact literally turned inside out. N o Fran cois, however, could be found, and the first oonclu sion—namely, that he had gone out at the gate— was again adhered to. To guard against any pos sibility of his being secreted about the premises, however, double watch was put on inside and out side of the building all night, and a body of police likewise patrolled the outer wall. Thursday morn ing came, but no ' signs of Francois, and all hope of ‘g preventing" his escape was abandoned. Every one concluded he was gone. About a quarter past one in the afternoon Mr. William Sanders (son of the governor, Mr. John Sanders), who had but shortly before returned from London, saw a man run from the direction of the coal-hole to the outer wall, taking with him a short ladder which was being used by men engaged in painting the build ing. He immediately gave chase, and rushing up the ladder after him, caught the runaway as he was in the act of attempting to scale the wall. This man was the missing prisoner Francois. He made no resistance, and was speedily marched off to his call. Upon examination it was found that he had secreted himself in a small place near the engine house filled with coke. The coke had been piled nearly up to the ceiling, and Francois, during the time that elapsed between his leaving the other pri soners and the alarm being given, had crawled up to the top of the heap and completely buried him self under the coke. Upon this hard bed he lay and fasted for 24 hours. Francois, although a young man, is stated to be an old offender, and was evidently fully acquainted with the habits of the prison, as the hour when he attempted to scale the wall was at a time when the prisoners were at dinner and the turnkeys were all engaged int h e building.
