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 graceful 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 fraud, and may be thus detected. Ifthe garment is dark-coloured, the label has 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 drab 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.

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 Spanish 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 leave 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 Mecanique 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, } 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 Patent 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.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE : — It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. 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, &c., 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.

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 Com 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, &c. A large Floating Derrick with - a hoisting cap ac ity o r 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 abo u t th e C oasts of Great Britain and off Foreign Shores. The average number of wrecks upon our 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 the 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. eon, vice Bradshaw, G.

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. HOSPITAL STAFF.

THE - D(IER .OF RUTLAND AND LORD J. MANNERS IN LEICESTE.RSIHRE. WALTHAM, FRIDAY. The annual meetingofthe Waltham Agricultural Ase.ociation was held in this town yesterday, 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 CrurnxlAN 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 an uninfluential, 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 we re 25 y ears 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 British soldier, 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 and 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 b e li e f i s that he is ambiti ous 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 his neigh bours, for that must and would react against the prosperity of his own country. (Cheers.) The Rev. G. E. C 4 1....,.LLETT proposed the "health of his Grace the Duke of Rutland, as President of the Association and Lord-Lieutenant of the County." The rev. gentleman alluded bri e fly t o th e l oss which 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 p res id en t o f th e society, it would have been impossible for him, surrounded as he then was, and in that hall, in the middle almost of the Belvoir 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 he 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 oft en 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 measur es 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 fromtheir 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 return thanks for the toast which has just been proposed, I cannot help noticing, as, per aps, 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 f r i en d M r . N or man 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 3rou 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 years since 2 I first had the honour of speaking in this hall, but for more than 20 years _ Mr. Farnham has served you in Parliament with : assiduity which well deserved the plauditsazeal and With with which this toast has been received. (Cheers.) regard to what has been said by my brother in the chair in reference to the bereavement which we have all sustained, he has so I will not for a mo o truthfully expressed all I feel on the subject that ment attempt to add a word to what he has already said. Passing on to other matters, lam bound t o confess that an enforced abstinence from all sub jects calculated to stir up party Feeling, and also from all sabjPcts connected with practical agricul ture, naturally induces me to say a word or two upon the social aspect which these meetings bear. 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 Wed to deride these agricultural meetings. Now, I remember the time when the same pseudo philosophy. pronounced allotments to be an uninitigated 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 lam 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 illustratio n . I can remem b er some years ago the effect produced in this hall by a speech of the admirable rector of this parish on the 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. (Cheers.) I hope the position I now unworthily hold in her Majesty's councils will plead my excuse i n 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 b e i ng 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 agricultural 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 county. There was only one measure that affected in any material degree the interests or feelings of the agri cultural classes, and that was the bill for the collec tion of agricultural statistics. The reception that 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—that he did not 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. But, 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 assem 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 England, 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 Is hick thi s country and her Majesty's Government may take on 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 manly and 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 hunting 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 show - yard and the brush at the head of the hunt (Loud cheers.) I have said that in the 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 isnnore than probable that the question 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, and I can only say that by one of those my lips are curi ous turns of the wheel which mechanises modern politics it seems to be reserved fora Tory Govern ment to render less anomalous, and to make better adapted to the growing i n telligence, property, 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 a nd earnest endea vour 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 speeches in Parliament, an d divisions consequent thereupon, are only a means to an end, and that end is the good self-government of a Christian and civilised 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 lie employed. (Hear.) We shall do well, then, I "tiiiffik, 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 one to another, and I know of no 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, 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 martello tower at Leith. The fortification of the island of Inchkeith, 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 splendid 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 doubtless 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 ago 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 docks at Pembroke are completed, the establishment will be able annually to produce a small squadron of men of-war of the largest size of their respective classes. The next launch will be that of the Immortalize , originally for a first-class sailing frigate of guns, but which has since been lengthened alma and ships to the extent of 32 feet, and by the stern 13 feet and five feet respectively , being a total additional length o fi f jogoatefe,etcarr.S3l4ne gnowheraanvyksgunae gong, powerful 51-gun a fee s t ist an er d ship horse power.

The East Devon Militia assembled at the Depot, St. Thomas's, on Thursday, for 21 days' training. Lieut.-Col. Drewe has resigned, and the command of the regiment has been taken by Major Hattry, pending the appointment of a successor to Lieut.- Col. Drewe. The 2d Cheshire Militia has moved from the Camp at Aldershott to Portsmouth for garrison duty. The men have been quartered in Clarence Barracks. Yesterday a great many fine young men were sworn in for the Ist Royal Surrey Militia at the Session-house, Newington. The regiment will assemble for training in Richmond in the course of a few weeks. A The 2d Somerset Regiment of Militia are now assembled at Bath, under the command of Colonel Pinney, M.P. The regiment has come up very well, and has mustered 760 men, exclusive of officers. The Royal Brecknock Militia was called up for 21 days' training on Tuesday last. For some days previously the men, who resided in the ne i g hb our.. hood, had been coming into Brecon, an d b y 12 o'clock on the day in question a large number had assem bled.

I leave it to „‘thoie fied than I am to speak upon the t toractieal stib; ft w which in reality have brought us here to-(raj but I thought it mi g ht no t b e am i ss i f I venturea.' 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 whoselvaluable assist• ance the meeting to-day would have been a complete failure—l mean the three gentlemen who have been good enough to act as judges of stock upon this 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 seat 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. Chewier. Mr. CHOWLER said he was sensible that he had bee. somewhat out of place in makingithe arrange ments for the meeting, and should be most happy to find that his exertions had given satisfaction. With regard to agriculture, he '.vas 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 as to the proper depth, as -there were different opinions as to the proper depth of drainage. Mr. Mechi, who had just been starring it at Manchester, condemned all cultivation and all drainage thatwas not deep. But, although he condemned the 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 agriculture of thi s coun t was a disgrace to it, though ho w h e 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'a farm and. his pigs, stated distinctly that his pigs were in 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. Chewier) 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 position 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 facturers. 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 of 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 Dorsetshire, 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 manufacturing 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 pumety local interest were then proposed and the proceedings terminated. The Grielle, Prussian screw yacht, having on. board his Royal Highness Prince Adalbert, Admiral of the Prussian fleet, sailed from Portsmouth yes terday morning for the eastward. 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 Mersey, 40, screw frigate, is to be taken into the steam basin, at Portsmouth, to-day, to re ceive her engines, and to be brought forward for sea service. The Melpomene, 51, screw, is to be taken out of dock at Portsmouth to-day and taken into the steam basin to be got ready for steam reserve. The Dauntless, 32, screw, is to be tak en i n t o th e steam basin at Portsmouth to be brought forward for the steam reserve. The Lucifer, 4, paddlewheel steam vessel, Master Commander Johnston (acting), sailed from Ports mouth yesterday afternoon with supernumeraries for Plymouth. The Sidon, 22, paddlewheel steam frigate, in charge of Commander Gardner, went 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.
