Bankers--London and Westminster Bank, Lothbtuy, London, This Company has been formed for the general introduction of Bishop's 'PATENT BOOM DERRICKS" into Europe, after the most satisfactory testing of their efficiency and utility in America. These Derricks may be employed either as stationary or moveable weight-raising apparatus, and are eminently adapted by their great power to raising sunken and recovering stranded vessels ; also to accomplishing expeditiously and economically every description of hoist, whether on land or water, required in Government Arsenals or Navy Yards ; or by , Dock Coni - panies, Shipbuilders, Engineers, Contractors, and others.. A small Floating Derrick, fitted with hoisting machinery, capable of raising 100 tons-, has been built for the require ments of the Thames, and is now in operation, 'lifting and• transporting heavy weights, such as steam-engines, boilers, blocks of stone, &e. A large Floating Derrick with - a hoisting capacity of 1,000 tons, specially designed and constructed for raising sunken vessels, and for general salvage purposes, has been launched recently, and is now preparing for operation about the Coasts of Great Britain and off Foreign Shores. The average number of wrecks upon onr coasts alone, ex ceeds one thousand annually, comprising upwards of 150,000 tons of shipping and steamers. The estimated value of this _loss, taken at £l5 per ton for vessels and cargoes combined, .amounts to 24 millions sterling. A large proportion of these vessels might be recovered by tjie aid of the 'Patent Floating Derricks, at a guaranteed rate of salvage, ranging between 25 and 75 per cent. The Company have entered into an agreement with the Marine Insurance Companies, and Underwriters of London and Liverpool, which secures to the former 75 per cent. of the net salvage proceeds • (after deducting working- expenses) from all vessels and car goes, sunk prior to the - date of the agreement, which may be raised and recovered by means of their Patent Floating Der •ricks. In the United States these Patent Derricks have been ex tensively adopted to the entire satisfaction of the parties own ing them. Two have been erected for the American Govern ment, at the Brooklyn and Massachusetts navy yards, and one for the Spanish Government at Havana. Two others belonging to the New York Derrick Company, have raised and saved upwards of 400 sunken and stranded vessels, and have likewise hoisted and placed on board the engines and boilers of more than 300 steamers. This Company com menced by paying its shareholders half-yearly dividends of 10 per cent. ; but, since 'July, 1857, has regularly and quarterly dividends of the like'amount. The arrangement effected - b the Patent Derrick Company with the Patentee, based on the above results, is to remune rate him, for his entire patent rights in Europe, wholly by Shares ; uot one of which is to be issued until after a prefer ent dividend of 10 per cent., arising from a single year's net earnings, shall have been received by the Shareholders sub scribing the working Capital. The Directors and their friends have taken and paid up in full, shares to the extent of £40,000 of the Company's stock, to enable them to construct, and submit to the Public, one river and one sea-going Derrick, prior to soliciting co-opera tion towards fully carrying out the highly important and promising enterprise for which the Patent Derrick Company has been established. The Directors are now prepared to issue to the P u bli c .f,5 further Shares of 0 each in the Capital Stock of the Com pany to the extent of £20,000. These shares are r e q u i re d t o be paid as follows :-- `XIO per Share on Application, and the remainder by Calls of £lO each, at intervals of one Month between each Call.

Nicolls' original paletot, that is to say, it avoids giving to the wearer an outré appearance, so that professional men and all others can use it during morning and afternoon in or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary seams, well known to secure a more grac:sful out- line, as well as to effect a great saving in wear ; the latter advantage is considerably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly stitched binding, the mode of effecting which is patented_ Great exertions are being made to supply Messrs. Nicolls' agents throughout the country and the colonies with an assortment of this new garment, simulta neously with the display in London, but it is necessary to in form the public that all Messrs. Nicolls' manufactures may be distinguished by a trade mark, consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy this is ;rand, and may be thus detected. If the garment is dark-coloured, the label bas a black ground, with the firm's name and address woven by the Jacquard loom in gold-coloured silk ; if the garment is light-coloured, the label has a pale di•ab ground, and red silk letters. Each paletot is marked in plain figures, at a fixed moderate price, and is of the best materials. In London, the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 22, A NEW DEPARTMENT FOR YOUTH, &c. - TT S. and D. NICOLL recommend f or an out .l-11- • side Coat the Havelock ; and for ordinary use the Cape Suit, such being well adapted for young gentlemen, as exhibiting considerable economy with general excellence. Gentlemen at Eton, Harrow, Winchester, the Military an d Naval Schools, waited on by appointment. A great variety of materials adapted for the Kilted or Highland Costume, as worn by the Royal Princes, may be seen at • WARWICK HOUSE, 142 and 144, Regent-street. FOR LADIES. TICOLLS' PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No Lady having seen or used such in travelling, for morning wear, or for covering full dress would willingly be without one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanisli Roquelaire, and has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and measures from 12 to 16 yards round the outer edge, falling in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can instantly form semi -sleeves, and thus have the arms at liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manu factured by this firm. The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak ; but with the Mdcanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more is charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who prepare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding. Habit—are in good taste and fit well. Female attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames it Cheval, partially composed of Chamois. As no measure is required the ratent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift. H. J. and D.

It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a_few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, Sze., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the 'good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

OCEAN TELEGRAPH CABtES.—The main point to be insisted on, we think, in the construction of a suitable cable should be the coiling of the central or electric wires round a stout cord, so as to allow of a little stretching with out the absolute fracture to which a straight wire is ever liable on the least strain; and the completion of this core by implanting it in the heart of a hempen rope, well woven around it, and, it may be, saturated with some such sub stance as well-dried linseed oil, before the insulating cover ing of liquified material is laid on (perhaps through the aid of vacuum power, to withdraw all air from the rope.) If, finally, the whole could be enveloped in a further inter weavement othempen strands, well tarred or pitched (a fait more preservative material is said to have been lately dis covered), the Sae plus ultra of an ocean telegraph cable could thus, we think, be realised.-7'he Budder. THE DUKE OF R UTLAND AND LORD MANXERS IN LEICESTERSHIRE. WALTHAM, FRIDAY. The annual meetingofthe Waltham Agricultural Ai-o-iati onwas held in thi s t own yes t er d ay, and was numerously attended by the *gentry and others interested in the agriculture of the district. In the afternoon a dinner was held in the Agricultural Hall under the presidency of his Grace the Duke of Rutland. Lord J. Manners, M.P., the Chief Com missioner of Works, the Rev.. G. E. Gillett, rector of Waltham, Mr. G. Norman, Mr. Hubberstey, Mr. Chowler, &c., were present. The usual loyal toasts having been given, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Health of the Bi shop and Clergy of the Diocese." He believed there was no one more anxious for the well-being and welfare of the labouring classes than the British agriculturist, for he knew it was by their means and their labour that the good harvest which by God's blessing he had just gathered into his barns had been raised and brought home; and there was no body of men who, by their attention, their kind ness, and watchfulness, so materially conduced to the well-being of the British labourer as the clergy: The Rev. G. E. GILLETT, in responding, con fessed that the clergy were most interested in• the prosperity of these associations, inasmuch as they brought together all classes connected with agricul ture, from the peer to the peasant: He was happy to find that agricultural associations had at length outlived and silenced the depreciatory remarks which used to be made against them by one, and that not anuninfluential, portion of the public press. That, in his opinion, was no small testimony to their value. He, however, augured still greater suc cess from another fact, viz., that in spite of agricul tural implements having wonderfully improved, the wages of the labourer were much higher now, in proportion to the price of corn and the other ne cessaries of life, than they were 25 years ago. (Cheers.) For this reason, and believing that these societies acted as a stimulus to agricultural improve ment, he and all the clergy could not fail to wish them God speeed. (Cheers.) The noble DUKE in the chair next proposed " The Army and Navy." He said—There never was a time when both services stood higher in the esti mation of this country, both for their fortitude and bravery when before the enemy two years ago in Russia and now in India. I believe that their bravery and 'their fortitude have never been sur passed —not only their fortitude in the field, but, what is still more trying to the their fortitude under the influences of a bad climate and disease. (Hear, hear.) lam glad to see that a feeling is now abroad in favour of keeping up our establishments. With the rest of the world, I was at Cherbourg this year, and I saw those magnificent forts bristling with guns, and the magnificent fleet that came from Toulon on that occasion. It was indeed a magnificent spectacle. I am not, however, one of those who are called alarmists. At the same time that I wish to see our establishments kept upon a proper and a secure footing, my belief is that the Emperor of the-French is perfectly sin cere arid perfectly honest when he says that he wishes to cultivate the alliance of this country. (Hear, and cheers.) I believe it because, though I believe him to be ambitious, I think his ambition is of a higher nature than that . of wishing to invade a neighbouring country. (Cheers.) My belief is that he is ambitious of raising France still higher than she is at present in the scale of nations ; that he will do so by encouraging her industry—her in dustry in her agriculture, her industry in her com merce and her manufactures, and not by laying waste,- if he were even able, the fields of Ins neigh bours, for that must and would react against the prosperity of his own country. (Cheers.) The Rev. G. E. GILLETT proposed the " health of his Grace the Duke of Rutland, as President of the Association and Lord-Lieutenant of the County." The rev, gentleman allud e d b r i e fl y t o th e l oss w hi ch the association had sustained since their last meet ing in the death of the late duke. The CHAIRMAN, - in acknowledging the com pliment, said, that if Mr. Gillett had not alluded to the position which he (the Duke of Rutland) now occupied in appearing be fore them for the first time as president of the society, it would have been impossible for him, surrounded as he then was, and in that hall, in the ' middle almost of the Bclvoir estates, not to have been carried back to the - past, and to the recollec tion of all that they had lost. Since he had last visited their hall he had lost the kindest and most benevolent of fathers, and the kindest and most benevolent of landlords. For himself he could only say, that though lie had no hope of being able to fill the void which had been created, he trusted that with such a bright example before him he might be enabled to follow in the steps that his lamented father had marked out for him, and that he might be enabled to do his duty, however hum bly and inefficiently, in the sphere in which he had been placed. (Cheers.) Mr. Gillett had alluded to the great benefits which were conferred by agri cultural societies, and had expressed his gratifica tion at the vast amount of good which they effected in connection with the labouring classes of the country. There were many gentlemen then pre sent who were much more capable and much more able by their practical experience and their intelli gence to give information upon agricultural subjects than he (the chairman) was himself, and he would therefore leave it to them to instruct the meeting upon the successful experiments they had made since last year. He was himself fully convinced of the great advantage of such societies in bringing people together, who, perhaps, otherwise might not so often meet, and of enabling them to compare the different experiments they had made, as well as to impart to each other the information that might have been derived since the prceding year. (Hear, hear.) With respect to politics, he believed they had generally laid down a rule which had not always been carried out in other agricultural so cieties —namely, that whenever political measures seemed to touch upon their interests, or upon the general interests of the agricultural body, they should form a proper subject to be discussed at their meetings. (Cheers.) The object of their society was the benefit and the extension of agriculture, and they had therefore always considered that whatever added to the prosperity of agriculture, or took away from that prosperity, was a fit subject for comment at their annual dinner. (Hear, hear.) At the same time he did not think that at the pre sent moment there were any questions astir in the public mind which peculiarly affected the agricul tural interest He would therefore merely say that though there was much that. he regretted in the past, he looked forward with hope and confidence to the future. (Cheers.) He begged to give them " Prosperity to the Waltham Agricultural Associa tion." (Cheers.) The toast having been drunk amid loud cheers, the various prizes were awarded. After which Mr. NORMAN proposed " The Health of the mem bers for the county," observing that, though party politics were properly excluded from their meetings those who took a part in politics were not excluded. The toast was drunk amid great cheering. Lord J. MANNERS, M.P. ' responded. He said— In rising to retu rn th an k s for the toast which has just been proposed, I cannot help noticing, as, per- Imps, a pleasing fact that the first place in which I am called upon to address a body of my present constituents since my election is that in which I was first called on to address any public assembly whatever—l mean nearly 20 years ago. Although I cannot pretend that I address you on this occa sion with the same excessive nervousness and diffi dence which characterised my earlier effort, still I confess that I am as unable at this moment as then to address an agricultural assemblage with the slightest hope of imparting anything of utility or benefit to you. As my friend Mr. Norman has just told you, all party politics are properly excluded, and as my ignorance of practical agriculture is such as to prevent the possibility of my affording you information, the observations which I have to make will be exceedingly few. At the outset I wish to express my deep regret that I stand here alone to return thanks for the toast which you have just drunk. I am charged by my hon. friend and col league, Mr. Farnham, to assure you that nothing but ill-health would have prevented him from at tending to-day. I have said that it is nearly 9 0 years since I first had the honour o . this hall, but for more than 20 years fsp speaking i n Farnham m has served you in Pa liament with adt aZieas m i and assiduity which well deserved the plu which this toast has been received. by my brotherces-ied.(Cleers. i ). With regard to what has been chair in reference to the bereavement which we have all sustained, he has so truthfully expressed all I feet on the subject that I will not for a mo ment attempt to add a word to what he has already said. Passing on to other matters, l am b ound to confess that an enforced abstinence from all sub jects calculated to stir up party feeling, a n d a l so from all subjects connected with practical agricul ture, naturally , induces me to say a word or two upon the social aspect which these- meetings bear. l It has been said by Mr. Gillett, and said very truly, that at first the great philosophers of the day were apt to look down upon and affect to deride thee agricultural meetings. Now, I remember. the time when the same pseudo philosophy pronounced allotments to be an unmitigated curse to the coun try, and derided and sneered at all the efforts that were being made to aid and stimulate agriculture in the country through. the machinery of associa tions of this character. But agricultural associa tions have now established themselves throughout the length and breadth of the land, and I was en abled to-day by the kindness of your Committee to distribute prizes . to the old warriors of agriculture, and also to the striplings who have this day won their spurs in the ploughing field, without fear of the criticism of a hostile press, and totally disre garding the philosophers who used to be so indig nant at these meetings. (Cheers.) I, for my part, am disposed to attach very great importance to social gatherings such as these. It is not only that they bring together members of the various classes which compose our rural community, but at these meetings hints are thrown out and suggestions are made which I am bold enough to say have tended in many instances most materially to promote, not only the cultivation of the land, but to increase the Comfort and elevate the moral and social position of those_ by whom the land is cultivated. I will take one point by way of illustration. I can remember some - years ago the effect produced in this hall by a speech of the admirable rector of this parish on th e all important subject of the cottage accommodation of the labouring classes, and . yet at this moment I know no sight more pleasing as one rides home from hunting than to witness the progress which has been made in improving the dwellings of the peasantry. (Cheers.) It is not only by these en deavours that the social and moral condition of the peasantry,has been elevated, but we cannot help seeing that the beauty of the landscape has also . been materially improved. (Clieera4l I hope the position I now unworthily hold in her Majesty's councils will plead my excuse in your eyes if I say that in an architectural point of view it does not cost a halfpenny more to erect a pretty than it does an ugly cottage. (Hear, hear.) Politics being most properly excluded froM consideration at meet ings such. as the present—l mean party politics, and so little having - occurred. during the recent session of Parliament worthy the attention of an ao . ricultnral assembly except 'in a party point of view, I really am at a loss to say anything in my capacity as member for this division of the bounty. There was only one measure that affected in any material degree the interests or feelings of the agri cultural chcse9, and tlipt wins the bill for the collec tion of agricultural statistics. The recep ti on th a t bill met, however, was such as to preclude the ne cessity of my saying anything whatever upon the subject. (Laughter and cheers.) But my brother has touched upon a subject. which undoubtedly at tracted far more attention than any of the measures introduced in the late session of Parliament, or which had any connection with the subjects which have brought us here to-day. He has said—and I entirely coincide in everything he said in respect of Cherbourg —th a t h e did n o d see in the great and ,magnificent works which were presented to our view anything to occasion unnecessary alarm in the minds of the people of this country. Put, although I quite agree with him that there is nothing to create alarm, I confess that I did read with pain and surprise some of the observations which have been made in public by other members of that illus trious body to which* I (thanks to your kindness) belong. (Hear, hear.) I can understand a man being so essentially John-Bullish in feeling as to abstain from going to 'Cherbourg at all, but I can not understand gentlemen in the position of mem bers of Parliament witnessing this magnificent ex hibition, receiving, as we all did, the most hearty and cordial reception, not only from the Emperor of the French, but from every one of his subjects there present, seeing the cordial and amicable feel ings which pervaded all classes of that vast ass.m blage, and then coming home and venting all kinds of unmanly sneers and sarcasms against a great, a gallant, and friendly people. (Cheers.) So far from seeing in the erection of the great works at Cher bourg any proof of towards England, or any sign of impending hostility, I am myself disposed to see in the cordiality, frankness, and openness with which all the works were submitted to the in spection of the whole people of Englarid, had they been disposed or able to go thither—l am disposed to see in these great works a pledge rather for future peace, inasmuch as they afford, on the one side (with the proper preparations , which -this country and her Majesty's Government may take. lon the other), a natural means of defence from hos tile aggression, and thus give a pledge and security for future peace. (Cheers.) I mentioned just now one point by way of illustrating the social advan tages of these meetings. There is another to which I am not less disposed to attach great importance at the present day—namely, the great subject of education. We all know how the education, of the children of the peasantry of this country has re ceived a great and wonderful influence from the speeches which have been made and the sugges tions which have been thrown out at meetings of this kind. But so much has been said on that sub- ' ject, and so certainly do I think the progress of education in its common and hacknied sense to be secured in the country, that I will dwell no longer upon it further than to say that I hope in our zeal and our endeavours to promote the education of the intellect We shall not altogether lose sight of the education of the bodies of the children of the labour ing classes. (Hear, hear.) I attach such importance to the manlyand athletic games and pastimes which have heretofore characterised all classes of our English community that I would say to all men, however wise, however stupid, however rich, how ever old, stimulate and foster every manly and athletic game, commencing from marbles and ascend= ing up to fox hunting, and if there be anything above and beyond fox hunting, then teach the labouring classes that. Tend them religiously, and from the lowest and the. humblest, up to the maturest and the highest of our national sports and pastimes, let us endeavour to promote them one and all, (Loud cheers.) I say this because I have noticed with pain and concern a heresy, as it seems to me, growing up and spreading in this country, the upshot of which will be that England will be divided into two great classes—those who spin and those who study. It is to promote some such con summation as this that we find that admirable speaker and sterling member of Parliament, Mr. Bright, recommend emigration to the whisky-drink ing, joint-stock bank-breaking people of Glasgow ; and we have the Times, the great organ, as it used to be called, of public opinion in England, warning all the noblemen of England out of the hunting field. As many present know, I am no great rider, and do not profess to give much time or attention to hunting, but this I do know that I never jog home after a day' s h un ti ng without feeling that I have seen or heard something which has added somewhat to my small stock of knowledge, and without rejoicing as a politician—of course Ido not use the term in a party sense—in the existence of that manly and invigorating pastime. (Cheers.) Then, gentlemen, say I, long. may there be a race of yeomen in England who, like my friends the Guys of Hatton, the Vincents of Bottesford, or the Blands of Marlborough, can carry off the prize in the cattle showyard and the brush at the head of the hunt. (Loud cheers.) I have said th past session of Parliament there was not much to attract the attention of an agricultural assemblage. The future, of course, is dark, but at the same time it ie;more than probable that the quest ion most likely to interest an agricultural assemblage in the next session of Parliament will be the much discussed question of Parliamentary reform. Upon that question, of couse, my lips are sealed, and I can only say that by one of those curi ous turns of the wheel which mechanises modern politics it seems to be reserved for a Tory Govern ment to render less growing anomalous, o.ence and to ma k e b etter intelligence, adapted to theproperty, and numbers of the community, the Whig Reform Act of 1832. (Cheers.) I can only say that her Ma jesty's Government will enter upon that most serious task with the single and earnest endeavour so to mend the representation of the people in Parlia ment as to secure the best electoral body and the best representative body which can be obtained for the people of this country. (Cheers.) But, gen , tlemen, after all, hustings, registration courts, poll ing booths, speeches from the hustings, and even speeche s i n P arliament, and divisions- consequent thereupon, are only a means to an end, and that end is the good self-government of a Christian and civilis9d. community. (Loud cheers.) 'Without depreciating other pursuits and other ways of life, every day I live more and more convinces me that the art and practice of agriculture is the safest, the surest, and the most beneficent of all the industries in which the wit, intelligence, and capital of man can be employed. (Hear.) We shall do well, then, I think, as I ventured to say - at the outset of the few observations-which I have thought it right to make—we shall do well to keep alive by every means in our power the corporate character of our relations ono to another,' and - I. knirw of - ne means, of no human means—which can so fully impress upon all our hearts the great truth that landlord and tenant, farm servant and husbandman, clergy and laity, all form one great Christian brotherhood, as these periodical n: ei fngs, at which the respective excellencies of different men in different branches of agricultural pursuits are brought prominently to notice, and which tend t o keep alive in all ou r hearts the great fact that every process, - at every :canon of the year, in ththpursuit of agricultural progress blends harmoniously into one beneficent whole. (Cheers.) I leave - it to those more quali fied than Lam to speak upon the practical subjects which- in reality have brought us here- to-day; but I thought it might not be amiss if I ventured to recall to your minds some of the great and enduring benefits, which I believe apply, to the country as a whole in a social point of view; of agri cultural gatherings such as this; and I will now sit down, begging leave to propose as a toastthe health of three gentlemen, without whoselyaluable assist ance the meetingto-dav would. have been a complete failure--I mean the three gentlemen who have been good enough to act as judges o f s t oc k upon t hi s oc casion. I take leave to couple with the toast the name of my excellent friend, whom I so often meet in the hunting-field, Mr. Bland. (The noble lord resumed his scat amid loud cheers.) Mr. BLAND briefly responded, and The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of the Stewards," coupling with the toast the name of Mr. Chowler. - - Mr. CIIOWLER said he was sensible that he had been somewhat out of place in makingthe arrange ' meats for the meeting, and should be most 1 hippy to find that his exertions had given satisfaction. With regard to agriculture, he was glad to find that sub-soiling had gone out of fashion to some ex tent compared with former years. As to the top or shallow cultivation there might be different opinions aksto the proper depth, as there were different opinions as to the proper depth of drainage. Mr. Meehi, who had just been starring it at Manchester, condemned all cultivation and all drainage that was not deep. But, although - he condemned the agri culture of the country, he still admitted that his foreign friends did. not grow more than half the crops grown in this country. He immediately added that the ag r i cu lt ure o f thi s country was a disgrace to it, though how he could reconcile the - two state- ments he (Mr. Chowler) was at a' loss to conceive. This, however, he did know, that a gentleman who a short time ago visited both Mr. Mechi's firm and his pigs, stated distinctly that hi s p i gs were i n such a filthy and dirty state that they would be a disgrace to any farmer in the country. (Laughter and cheers.) It was unnecessary that he (Mr. Chowler) should pause to inquire how far deep cultivation was likely to be beneficial. That was a question that could be better discussed at a special meeting, and if such a meeting were called he would be quite ready to attend and take part in the discussion. He had, however, one remark to make upon another subject. The positiou of the English farmer was very different from what it was 12 months ago, and if agricultural statistics would ever have been of advantage to the farmer they would - have been during the present year. He . believed that the pulse .crop had been a total failure, although in the face of that he was glad to say that the labouring- classes were not only fully employed, but at fair wages. (Hear.) They had usually been in the habit of reckoning the wages of the labourer according to the price of wheat. If they adopted that principle now the wages would be brought down to 10S. a-week, whereas, at the present mo ment, he was glad to say that no labourer he was aware of was working for less than 2s. a-day. That fact proved there was a desire on the part of the English farmer to employ the labourers steadily and to take better care:Of their poor than the manu facturer 4. Recent Poor Law returns showed that directly the-manufacturing trades fell off, the poor who were dependent upon manufactures for a living were thrown upon the parish, so that in some places —for instance, in Manchester—the poor rates had been increased 15 per cent. in consequence Qf the slackness of the trade. That was not the case with the farmers, for the same returns,showed • that throughout purely agricultural districts pauperism .never increased at all. For instance, in I)orsctshire, where they used to hear such great complaints about the wages of . the agricultural labourer, the returns showed that pauperism had steadily de . creased.. That convinced him that the poor were much better attended to in agricultural than in manutacturing - districts, and it came to this after all—that whatever might be said against the agri culturists, they were the best friends of the labour ing poor. (Cheers.) • Several other toasts of purl y local interest were then proposed and the proceedings terminated. THE NAVY. The Grielle, Prussian screw yacht, having on board his Royal Highness Prince Adalhert, Admiral of the Prussian fleet, sailed from Portsmouth yes terday morning for the east war d. • The St. Vincent, 101, Captain Harry Eyres, C. 8., was taken into dock at Portsmouth yesterday for repairs. -The Agamemnon, 91, screw ship, is to be taken into No. 7 dock, at Portsmouth, to-day, for repairs.

The Sidon, 22, paddlewheel steam frigate, in charge of Commander Gardner, wont out of harbour at Portsmouth yesterday for trial of her engines. Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour and several naval and military officers went on board the Stork gun boat, tender to the'Excellent, yesterday, at Ports mouth, to witness some shot and shell practice fired from -her at the iron plates on the sides of the Alfred, 50. The coast of Scotland on all its salient points is ordered to be put in an efficient state of defence. Several 32-pounders are to be sent from 'Wool wich to fortify the marten() tower at Leith. • The fortification of the - island of Inehkeith, for the protection of Leith, is under the consideration of the Government. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD.—The construction of the Howe, ship of the line, is now so far advanced that she can be completed for launching early next year. She is pierced for 130 broadside guns, besides carrying her pivot. The Howe is a splendii ves sel of the same stamp as the "Marlborough and Duke of Wellington (though larger than the latter), and will carry more than 4,000 tons. She was chiefly put together by the superannuated ship wrights during the late Russian war, and from her noble build and fine run she will doubtles prove a first-class man-of-war. She has been built to replace the ship of the line of the same name of 120 guns, broken up at Sheerness some years ego from dry rot. The slip on which the Howe has been built has been lengthened. When all the - alterations and additions to the slips and docict:t Pembroke are completed, the establishment 1111 be able annually to produce a small squadron ofbinsfpiis of-war of the largest size of their re spective The next launch will be that of tn,_ 1 - m. • , a ht € , originally for a first-r• tOling- fri-"'ate (it 60 guns, but which h^ ,nice been lengthened amid . e 2 t f i e . e e s t p , e a c n t d i v b egn y i yo; t 1 1 11,3 11 s gtaio a i as d al, ships to the cats ranks s eavy stern 7. - feet t c . ari S •3 l-l i e n additional d v i_tio or n y al;L is: . i • •• total of 240 feet and 600 lorse- The Immortalite is a sister ship fo the Melpomene, recently launched from this yard, - and she has been upon the stocks for some time.
