The contest here has ended in the return of Mr. Whalley, by a majority of 15, the numbers at . the close of the poll on Saturday being, according to the statement of that gentleman's committee, as follows : Whalley ... 233 I Lewis ... 218 The calculation made by Mr. Lewis' committee is somewhat different, being— Whalley ... ... 212 I Lewis ... ... 197 Although the numbers vary, however, the majority for Mr. Whalley is decided. The contest has been the most severe on record, and very great zeal and activity were displayed on both sides. Mr. Whalley was in a majority from the first hour of the polling, but although he maintained his ascendency on the poll, his majority diminished, it being 22 at 9 o'clock, and only 10 at 2 o'clock. Whether upon true or false grounds, the election is gene rally considered as having rendered the city independent of the influence of the Milton family. This has been the point upon which all the opposition turned. Mr. Whal ley professes liberal principles as well as Mr. Lewis, so that, politically speaking, there was no difference be tween the two candidates ; but the rallying cry has been for the independence of the city, and thus Mr. Lewis has been described as the "lord's man," and Mr. Whalley as the friend of independence. The electors at the nomina tion cried out that they would have a man of their own choosing this time, and every effort was made by Mr. Whalley 's party to convince the electors that it was a struggle to emancipate themselves from Milton domination. Some people have wondered why the electors of Peterborough, after quietly submitting to the Fitzwilliam influence for a century and a half, should suddenly determine that it should prevail no longer. This, however, is a point which it would be difficult to settle ; but, as a matter of fact, this was the pivot upon which the opposition to Mr. Lewis turned, and it is undoubtedly true that the opposition was not to Mr. Lewis personally, but because he was presumed to be the nominee of the earl. It should be stated that the friends of Mr. Lewis deny the impeachment. How ever, although the circumstance is somewhat strange, Mr. Whalley, a professed Liberal, owes his election to the Conservatives, who opposed Mr. Lewis, with a view to destroy the Milton influence. The election was con ducted in a very creditable manner. There was a good deal of excitement on Saturday at the close of the poll, and there had been fears of some violence being attempted ; but after a little marching, band playing, and shouting for "the blues," the city became almost as silent and tranquil as ever. The official declaration of the poll was fixed for this day (Monday). THE PETERBOROtTGH ELECTION. The late Peterborough election teaches more than one striking political lesson. The borough of Peterborough has been long considered an appanage of the Earl of Fitzwilliam. Notwithstanding the Reform Bill, and the 101. franchise, so powerful are the fortune and influence of the Milton family in the town and neighbourhood of Peterborough, that up to this time there has not been a single instance of a defeat to the nominees of the Earl of Fitzwilliam, as they have been called. This may, no doubt, have been caused, or, at all events, greatly assisted, by the fact that the candidates presenting themselves on the Fitzwilliam interest were on the Liberal side of politics, and thus presented a coinci dence of opinion with the majority of electors. At the very last election the son of Lord Fitzwilliam, the Hon. C. Wentworth Fitzwilliam, and his cousin, the Hon. C. W. Watson (of the distinguished Rockingham House), were placed at the head of the poll. Mr. Watson died, and for the vacancy thus created, a distinguished mem ber of the late Parliament—by no means a nominee— Mr. Cornewall Lewis, was selected to fill the vacant seat by an influential section of the Liberals of the town. The more Radical section, however, did not approve the choice, and we believe that their chief reason for suspect ing the candidate was an impression, rightly or wrongly entertained, that the Fitiwilliam interest was neither so strongly nor so honestly given to the popular cause as it used to be. Plain, honest country politicians cannot discover the propriety of Lord Fitzwilliam sitting on the cross benches and talking of a fixed duty on corn. The consequence is that the allegiance of the Liberals of Peterborough is broken and divided. The result is the present defeat of Mr. C. Lewis—not a mere family nominee, but a most excellent politician. The extreme party in the borough, distrusting Lord Fitzwilliam, per haps for the first time, took up Mr. Whalley. The Tory minority seized the opportunity, and added their franchises to Mr. Whalley, in order to defeat the Fitz william interest—for the first time in a century sus pected of treason to the Liberal cause. The lesson that is thus taught is this, that with the people much may be done ; against the people everything is endangered.— Morning Advertiser. PERSECUTION AT FLORENCE. On Saturday a deputation waited on Mr. Secretary Walpole at the Home-office, to place in his hands a me morial addressed to her Majesty, on the subject of the persecutions for religious opinions now carried on at Florence. The deputation consisted of the Earl of Shaftesbury, Colonel Alexander, Mr. Wilbraham Taylor, Captain Giberne, Mr. J. M. White, Mr. T. R. Wheat ley, Mr. R. B. Seeley, and Mr. J. Macgregor. The memorial wa.. follows : " We your Majesty's most loyal and devoted subjects, beg leave to approach the Throne with our sincerest assurance of attachment to your Majesty, as supreme head of a Government under which your people are truly and. deeply sensible of the full enjoyment of civil and religious liberty. Your memorialist have heard with deep dismay of the trial, in the capital of Tuscany, of Francesco and Rosa Madiai, on the charge of ' impiety, shown in making proselytes to the so called Evangelical or Pure Gospel Confession'*--a charge whose sole foundation con sisted in their possessing and reading the Holy Scriptures and other religious works in their own house hold, and being ready to share the blessings they pos sessed with all who sought them. For no other cause, and with the express declaration of Government that the charge was totally unconnected with politics, the said Francesco and Rosa Madiai were sentenced by the Tuscan authorities, on the 31st of July last, to imprison ment with hard labour for the respective terms of 56 and 45 months. Your memorialists recognise in your Majesty the representative of a great and free country, whose glory it has been practically to proclaim the sacred right of every human being to liberty of con science ; and though they are fully ally() t(.l the danger of one nation interfering with the interllal regulations of another State, they feel that witen peaceful and li4i7hless individuals in any professedly CAitisli4:':l Ommunity are condemned as criminals Pot Ilb greater offence than that stated above, it is no less imperative on every lover of libe';:ty, civilisation, and security, to protest, in the 'name of justice, of civil freedom and of common humanity, against so glOttig a violation of the 'right of every mmt moAdolis , to follow the die tatP,s of his own conseietttd. While your memorialists, as Britons, as faelhen, and as members of the great human family, would consider themselves bound to pro test against such a misapplication of eivii.o*ff, , „ if the sufferers were followers of a false they feel that those among them. who fire professors of a faith which proclaims the Written word of God to be the free and precineA birthright of all mankind, are more urgently impelled to protest openly ancl bold,ky against so flagrant a violation of the first 04040 f feilgious liberty. As the loving iniliket% Christian Queen, your memorialists tite skkikflaht that your Majesty will share their al.holteilet at the spectacle of a woman, on such a charge, condemned to imprisonment in the de grading company of the worst of crilithitls. Sympathy for a woman thus cruelly tlitraged will filid t ready echo in the heart of. Tot* Majesty, as iii that Of every woman capable of *link foi 'th'e of a sister and a fellow OhriStiarv. our memorialists, having discharged tear bee duty in laying at the feet of your Majeity this solemn public protest against the great outre. s . which ha, hcen .fr,red to humanity, would entreat your Majesty to make the feelings of of the British nation known to the Tuscan Govern ment, and endeavour to procure either mt reversal of the judgment on the !laid Francesco mid itosa Madiai, or at least such alteration of their sentences as would admit of their seeking refute itt some land where it is lawful for each man to WOrship God after his own conscience. That your 11"1 ."?.sty's throne and the Constitution of this country may ever continue by God's blessing, based, as now, on the surest of all foundations, the conscious happiness and affectionate confidence of a Christian peo ple, who study to use, without abusing, the principles of civil alid religious liberty, is the earnest prayer of "Your Majesty's loyal Subjects." The above memorial was signed by the Dukes of Sutherland and Argyll, the Marquis of' Cholmondeley, the Earls of Winchelsea, Fortescue, Ducie, Shaftes bury, Dartmouth, Roden, Waldegrave, C avan , Ban don, Darnley, Donoughmore, Meath, Annesley, Clancarty, Carnwath ; Lords Stopford, Dunk, Lorton, Bangor, Bernard, Monck, C a lth orpe , Ran furley, De Saumarez, Hatherton, Clanmorris, Downes, yf a aa3t, Moreton, Claud Hamilton, T.

DEATH PROM FRIGHT.—We read in the Presse :—"An extraordinary case of death from fright has just taken place. A few days since a young woman was passing near the Rue Cadet, when she suddenly fell to the ground, exclaiming 'The rat ! the rat ! At first nobody could comprehend the meaning of her exclamations, but on her being taken into the shop of a druggist and placed on a chair, a rat was seen to run from beneath her g own. It was then evident that the rat, which had come from a sewer, had go t b e t ween h er l egs , and that when she fell from fright it had concealed itself under her clothes. She was taken home to her friends in the rue Duperre in a state of delirium, which lasted four days, during which the only words she uttered were The rat ! the rat !' and on the evening of the fourth dLy she Mired." • ' THE SUN 3: LONDON, MONDAY EVENING , DEC EMBER 6, 1852. THE SHARE MARKETS. AN EVENING AT ASTLEY'S -AMPHITHEATRE. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRITISH RAILWAYS. SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLVI. Having heard of an establishment in Lincoln's Inn-fields, where matrimonial alliances are done up, and being pos sessed with rather a keen sense of the ludicrous, a fellow clerk and myself resolved the other night, after the toils of the day, to pay the said establishment a visit, with the view of getting, if not a wife, at least some rich amuse ment. Accordingly, after four o'clock P.M., we wended our way through the crowded thoroughfares of Fenchurch and Lombard-streets, on to the Mansion-house, where to economise time on such an important matter, as an errand on matrimony, we took the inside of a Chelsea Omnibus as far as Chancery-lane, where we alighted, and pursued OUT way up this dark dingy neighbourhood, where every thing betokens suits in Chancery, and writs of error ; the shops being almost all law stationers, whose windows and doorways are groaning under huge piles of "Coke's or Black stone's Commentaries," down to law forms, red tape, and sealing wax. But we enter Lincoln's Inn-fields by a gothic archway, and not being sure of the address of Mr. Beres ford, the matchmaker (not lucifers we hope), we spied a postman resting on one of the stone benches, from whom we elicited with a leerish smile, the whereabout of this To-morrow Wolverhampton puts in its claim to the ; polite attentions of that division of the sporting world I who patronise the "cross country" work. There are three races on the card for decision, the first of which is the Wolverhampton Grand Annual Steeplechase, of 20 sovs. each, h. ft., and 5 only if declared, &c., with 100 added ; about four miles. This race is marked for half past one precisely. Out of a good entry thirteen acceptances have been obtained, which, considering the declension of this kind of sport, is as much as could reasonably be expected. If eight go to the post that will be as good a field as we can hope for. The top weight, Mr. Barnett's Sir Peter Laurie, at list 41b., if intended, is not overweighted, and would be very likely to finish in one of the three first places. He is an un commonly game animal, and over this course that quality is likely to be required. Half-and-Half, at 10st 71b, has no chance whatever. Osborne's Abd-el-Kader, it is said, will not put in an appearance for any race before the Liverpool Grand National, as his chance here, at lOst 61b, is undoubtedly first-rate. Vain , hope is treated leniently enough by the handicapper, lOst 61b being anything but a back-breaker. It is thought that this animal will not run. Mr. Barry's Carrig, lOst 51b, and with such good antecedents this season, looks uncommonly dangerous. His party seem to be particularly "fond," haxing backed him very freely. The General will run, I believe, and possibly may run well, but that depends a great deal as to how the money stands. Simple Peter is let loose at lOst, but from the appearance of the market I should say he has no chance for this bout. Bourton is a mysterious animal, and is reported to do wonders, but I can place no confidence in him. It is scarcely probable that Heroine will repeat her performance of the other day, as several horses of a better class will start against her. Trout (late the Lepida gelding), i s a very inferior ani mal, and cannot possibly possess any pretensions to beat Heroine, much less to win. Peter Simple at 9st 71b, and Expert at Bst 121 b, I presume, will be made quite safe through Vengeance at 9st 41b. All things considered, I think CARRIG will be about the mark ; and that Vengeance will occupy the second place. The Free Handicap Hurdle Race, of 5 sovs. each, with 40 added, has obtained an acceptance of fourteen, of which about half will go to the post ; the race being confined to Half and Half (if he runs), WARWICK and ODIHAM ; the last mentioned two filling the first and second places, Don John filly being well up. The Selling Steeplechase of 5 sovs. each, with 20 added, closes between five and eight this evening to Mr. Walker, of the Talbot Hotel. BUFF'S GUIDE TO THE TURF.—The autumnal edition of The Guide to the Turf has just been issued. It con tains a vast amount of the usual matter, considerably exceeding, however, the quantity that has appeared in former years, arranged in the most desirable manner imaginable. The care evidenced in the laborious com pilation of this necessary occupant of every turfite's bookshelf, is great : a couple of errors only, of compara tively but little account, appearing in it ; one being, in making the date of the Northampton races May 30th instead of March 30th, and the other, the omission of the " h ft" in the conditions for the Thousand Guinea Stakes. Mr. Ruff's work to the racing than is invalu able, and can have "no rival near the throne." THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Paid I RAILWAYS. Closing Prices This day.

Walking rapidly across the Fields to the direction pointed out by the man of letters, we soon reached the chambers of the hymeneal secretary, but lo and behold he was out of town, no doubt at some of the provincial offices of the association (of which, bye the bye, there are some five or six), assisting by his kind in terference in uniting in the bonds of wedlock, some amor ous swains.

Accord ingly we push along through the streets, which just now are brilliantly illuminated with thousands of flamin g jets of gas-light—we cross old father Thames by Waterloo bridge, the finest structure of the kind in :Europe, and proceed by the New-cut, Lambeth, now the most crowded thoroughfare in London. We enter the amphitheatre a little before seven o'clock, the hour of commencing the performance, and secure a seat. What a magnificent house this is, and capable of accommodating several thou sand spectators. Every decoration which the art of the painter can furnish is freely lavished, and the rich tracery and elaborate gilding in scroll work, which adorn the pan nels of the boxes, combined with the blaze of light emitted from a hundred gasaliers, render the scene at once gorgeous and captivating, and helps us to appreciate in some degree the taste of the worthy old Baronet in " Boswell's Life of Johnson," who possessed one of the most beautiful seats in England, surrounded with a park, whose lawns lined with noble oaks and venerable elms, excited the admiration of every one but himself, yet declared that at the close of the London seasons, he always felt miserable, and longed again for the footlights, the scenery of the drop curtain, and parapharnalia of the stage, with its painted heroes, in com parison with which he considered Nature with all its at tractions, dull and insipid. The orchestra now filled with the finest performers'in England, who, after a good deal of scraping and tuning their different instruments, at length pour forth a volume of music, whose voluptuous swell, thrills through the ner vous system like a stream of electric fluid. But the boll rings, and immediately two beautiful palfreys are led into the arena, accompanied by their youthful riders, Miss Emily Cooke,l and Eugene Godolphin, who perform a truly laughable Petite Ballet, entitled Jeanette and Jeannot, or the enlistment for the great wars of France ; this is suc ceeded by Mr. Hemming the most daring horseman of the day, who throws summersaults from feet to feet, during the rapid evolutions of the steed, with all the grace and ease imaginable. Miss Frost next appears on a swift courser, in a pleasing act as the Fishwife of Newhaven, and is followed by Mr. Powell, the popular British horse man, who appears on two horses, in his leaping act, as the bounding springer of the Alps. But all this is eclipsed by the extraordinary performances of two Frenchmen, who are brothers, named Siegrist, whose bodies are evidently made of India rubber, as they bend and stretch where there are no joints at all, and for strength they might wrestle with Achilles, or any fabled hero of Grecian Mytho logy. Amongst their various feats, one of them poises a pole on his breast 25 feet long, up which the other climbs with the agility of a monkey, and perches himself on its narrow point. Both brothers have implicit confi dence in each others skill. The ono who supports the pole stands erect without moving a muscle cracking jokes with him on its summit, who is comporting himself like a squirrel on the bough of a tree. Great strength in such feats must be conjoined with an intimate knowledge of mechanical laws, as the least deviation from a correct balance would give such a momentum to the leverage as no strength, however herculean, could resist; and end in the precipitate destruction of one or other of the unfortunate gladiators. We are next introduced to an equestrian pas de trois by those accomplished artistes, Miss Rebecca, Madlle Louise Massotta, and Miss Frost, who appear as the Three Graces; and by way of varying the species both of man and beast, the ring is next occupied by elephants, ac companied by their Oriental trainers, who go through a variety of feats of agility on their bare backs. We have next Mr. Bridges, who appears as the Juggler of Japan, and who, on horseback, manages balls, plates, and cutlery, going through paper hoops at the same time, with as much nonchalence as if sitting in an easy chair by the parlour fire. The scenes of the arena are again varied by the wonder ful exercises of the Nicolo family, the father of which tosses his two infant sons about AS if flesh and blood formed no part of their composition, all, however, are mas ters of gymnastic science, and have studied the most cor rect portions of Greek statuary, as their graceful attitudes at once denote: The first part terminates with a piece exe cuted , 1)7 eight Of the principal artistee of the crtablish meat, with twelve horses, entitled Le Grand Ballet Equ,4- tra, arranged by Signor Chiarini, the, ' celebrated ring-mas ter, and professor of the haute Peole from the Imperial Circus of St. Petersblirgh ; and after a la pad of ten Mintites, the second part commences with the tight-rope, perfofm ances of Mdlles.

The jests of the clowns appear to be indispensable to the ring, and, as in Cirerything else at Astley's, lice have the genius here of the highest celebrity, either as jesters or posture-makers. Jesters in England are of great antiquity, as they were wont to form part of the royal establishment at court. We remember of reading with infinite zest, the cute answer of Henry the Eighth's jester, who, when that bloated monster asked him what he thought of the title of Defender of Faith, the Pope had just conferred on him—" Ha I Master Harry," the jester replied, " there is no fear of the faith, let you and I take care of our own heads, and leave the faith to its own de fence." Equestrian performances are of very great antiquity, as Homer, in the "Iliad," gives a clear and correct description of an amusement of this kind, which modern times have seen revived as something entirely new. So long ago, it appears, as the sixth or seventh century before Christ, the feats of Cooke and Franconi were popular in Greece. The education of horses for this singular purpose has been brought to the highest perfection, both in Paris and in London. The stables of Franconi and Astley's are for quadrupeds what the Royal Academy of France and the Royal Society of England are for learned men. They are the hotbeds of equine genius—the conservatories of the classic step, of the antique trot—the sanctuaries of the brilliant gallop. Quoting from a writer to whom we are indebted for a portion of this article, we will conclude with a brief notice of a horse belonging to the Cirque Olympic of Paris, as he attained a kind of political celebrity. It is well 'clown that the steeds of Astley's Amphitheatre are lent out to the citizens of London on Lord Mayor's day, for the use of men in armour who figure in the procession, so the French Circus is charged with the supply of animals to Princes and Sovereigns, during any great official solemnity; and these horses like certain couriers, haVe always been at the service of every dynasty or shade of political opinion. Thus, in 1814, the tem porary restoration of the Bourbons, a dapple grey, called La Noble,' bore the future Charles X. (the Count D'Ar tois) on his entry into Paris, and afterwards the Dukes of Berri and Angouleme. When Napoleon escaped from Elba the same charger carried him on the 20th of the fol lowing March, at the time of his triumphal return to the city by torch-light. After the well-known hundred days,' this identical horse conveyed into Paris , the Princes of the Bourbon family, deporting itself with the same pride and enthusiasm as on former occasions. Equestrian performers of the present day feel the effects of the march of intellect, quite as much as others. Feats of horsemanship which anciently excited the greatest ad miration, now appear vulgar and commonplace, and it has become as difficult to acquire distinction in equestrianism as in literature. Formerly, a simple change of feet during full gallop, or an epigram, were sufficient to earn a high reputation for a horse or a poet, but now celebrity is only to be obtained by the aid of difficult dances on three legs, or by means of several thick volumes of prose and verse. To those of your readers who have never seen anything of this art, beyond the air vaultings of such itinerants as Ord and his rag tag artistes, by the side of Lochleven, where everything was dependant on the versatile genius of Ord himself, any description of the wonders of the Circus as seen at Astley's, will fail to convey a correct impression of the art and science there demonstrated, and if ever they chance to visit London, we would advise them to spend at least, one night at this establishment, the performances at which, both equestrian and gymnastic, rival the most celebrated of either ancient or modern times.

A public meeting, in aid of the Society for Irish Church Missions to the Roman Catholics, was held on Saturday, at Hanover-square Rooms. The Earl of Shaftesbury took the chair. The effmtittAN said that since he accepted the honour of presiding over that meeting, he had received a sum mons to attend a deputation at the Home-office, to carry a memorial, which he hoped would be laid at the feet of her Majesty, on behalf of their persecuted brethren in Florence I and especially Francisco and Rosa Ma.diai. • the Reif' Alin. DALLAS moved the first resolution as follows :—"Tat the progress of the Reformation in various parts of Ireland, as shown by authentic state ments, corroborated by the testimony of the Roman Catholic press, proves that the Divine blessing attends the work, itlid calls for enlarged exertions from the Protestants of the linitod Kingdom, in order to increase the agency necessary for extending the spread of Gospel truth all over Ireland." The Earl of CLANCARTT seconded the resolution, after which it was put from the chair and carried unani mously. The Earl of MAYO moved The second resolution— " That this meeting desires to encourage the committee of the society for Irish Church Missions , to the Roman Catholics in the course they have hitherto pursued, and pledge thentselves to renewed exertions, with a view to extend the infitienes and increase the funds of the society." Mr. J. C. COLQUHOUN seconded tho resolution, which wwagreed to. 1116 Ilk,: BICKERSTETH moved the third reSolution, "That the detaili Of the work of the missions in Dub lin and elsewhere, now cOttittrunicated to this meeting, afford satisfactory testimony of the lively interest excited among the Roman Catholics, and while they are a cause fof tliatlq.giifing to Almighty God, they should produce a spirit of pfayef OM behalf of the missionaries and agents employed, and of our fellow countrymen, that they may be enabled speedily to burst the bonds that bind them under theclominion of the power of R o m e ," The Rev. Froiil/4 DowLum seconded the resolution, which was carried titianintionsly.

The nature of the injuries sus tained, however, precluded all hopes of recovery, and the --,-- 4 ,-, unfortunate sufferer expired at 8 o'clock on Friday even- I R ing. Her name is Mrs. Knight, and she resided at 10( Dartford. An inquest was held on the body on Satur- 1 0( day, and a verdict of " Accidental Death" returned.

COST OF COLLECTING THE REVENUE.—By a Parlia mentary return just issued, it appears that the cost of collection in the revenue departments, deducted from the gross receipts, and not paid into the Excheq uer, for the year ending sth January, 1852, was 5,622,2571., and that the total amount expended in 1851, which never reached the Exchequer, was 6,072,151/. ADELPHI THEATRE, EDINBURG-H.—The enthusiasm ex cited by the early performances of the operatic company in the Adelphi continues every, evening to improve. The popular opera of " Maritana" was produced on Tuesday evening with excellent effect. The masterly performance of the part of Don Ciusar de Bazars by Mr. Harrison ex ceeded the utmost expectations of his greatest admirers and, tested by any standard, it was allowed that he had achieved complete and instant success. Accomplished as he is as a vocalist, it may be doubted whether comedy is not his natural element. In th© picturesque character of Maritana, the graceful and natural styled f Miss Louisa Pyne's acting and sing in g rendered the performance one of the most charming that we have over witnessed. Her tasteful execution of the song, " Scenes that are brightest," excited an enthusiastic encore ; but her other efforts during th e e vening were qu ite as worthy of the same distinction. The quartette and chorus, " Health to the lady" --8 the Misses Pyne , Mr. Harrison, and Signor Borran;ing by ‘,, well received by the audience, which numbered er° dis tinguished in fashion and literature. The performance of the opera was, upon the whole most pleasinfg, and interest ing. Last night Bellini's beautiful opera. of house.Sonnam- bule was performed to a crowded and All the ,artists acquitted themselves admirably ; and we may . especially notice the brilliant execution, by Miss Louisa Pyne, of the concluding rondo, "Do not mingle," in which she displayed remarkable sweetness, combined w ith a fluency and purity of intonation that we have r arely, if ever, heard by an Englsh soprano. We trust that the public will show their e gratitude privileged t° gratitudee to the manager for the pleasure which they are enjoy A 4101404 U 011144 eyspg g t"'" • 20 10 50 50 100 35 i fi pm 6 1 21 6 2* 6 12 114 9 si l 4 i i i i LITE.RAT ÜBE The Farmer's Magazine. —The first article is a treatise on the cultivation of oats. It is followed. by a Lecture read at the annual meeting of the North Staffordshire Agricultural Society, on the improvements of homesteads and remodelling of farms. An agricultural biography is continued, and there is also a Lecture on the use and abuse of lime in agriculture. There is an interesting ac count of the Flax Industry of Ireland, and the present number also contains several articles on the potato. Newton's London Journal.—This number con tains a list of fourteen patents, three of which are for improvements in the construction of ploughs. The most important are those of Negretti and Zambra for thermometers, J. M'lntosh for ord nance and fire-aims, W. E. Newton for manufac turing coke, &c. The list of Irish, Scotch, and English patents is given as us ua l, an d the maga zine contains two plates illustrating the patents. Mr. Sponge's Shorting Tour.—With the last month of the year, our fortune-hunter brings his Sporting Tour to an end ; and after many matrimonial speculations and questionable transactions in disposing of his horses to unprotected greenhorns and would-be sp or t smen, uninitiated in th mysteries of the dealer's stables, he settles indite, united to an 'adventuress as needy as him self, who- has fairly 2.idden, into his affections. Through out the whole of this . amusing narrative the object of the author is apparent, and. while the reader is amused by the description of the various characters who are to be met with in the hunting-field and at the tables of masters of hounds, he sees vividly depicted the snares into which the crafty and unscrupulous vampires who live by de frauding the unwary lead their victims, who; in propor tion to their ignorance, are presumptuous and self-con ceited. In the conclusion of the tale, the biter is bit, for Mr. Sponge is taken in by Facey Romford—a knave of deeper dye than our hero himself ; and in the grand aristocratic steeplechase which is the closing scene, the renowned Hercules astonishes both his owner and the public by winning the race in spite of Mr. Sponge, whose interest lay on the losing side. Zadkiel's Almanac for 1853.—The most striking vaticinations adventured upon by the renowned seer, Zadkiel, in this the twenty-third yearly edition of his almanac, are those regarding the new Em peror of the French, Napoleon 111. The hour of birth being ascertained with sufficient accuracy from the official Moniteur, the sage artist presents his readers with a scheme or figure of the heavens, at sixteen minutes before one o'clock, on the morning of the 20th of April, 1808. After some singular remarks and cal culations, which certainly go far in support of the geneth liacal science, the following predictions are made for the ensuing year and its successor :—" 1853—His affairs run very untoward ; his enemies are gathering ; a cloud threatens. I judge that February can hardly go by without WAR DECLARED. In May . the nation is much excited—takes an active part in warlike operations—and probably his troops gain a battle of consequence. June brings losses and discomfiture ; tumults and insurrec tions annoy him, and some plots are rife against hie power. But August promises him gain and victory. Also, in November, he gains martial honours ; yet some strange reverses befall him at the end of the year. 1854 —February brings warlike gain ;he conquers. The summer and autumn very unfortunate ; his troops overthrown ; his enemies prevail in August, when sudden reverses attend him. He is confused, totters to his fall, and bows before the frown of fate ! Let him not dream of lastinc , honours, power, or prosperity. He shall found no dynasty ; he shall wear no durable crown." In the prognostications given for each month under the title of " Voice of the Stars," may be found the fill lowing, worthy of the attention of the curious in such matters :—" April—The return of the Sun to his place at birth of L. Napoleon gives the Prince prosperity dur ing his forty-sixth year—honours, success, victory ! And this the King of Prussia will discover to his cost." —"June—L. Napoleon meets a check, and may loose a battle now ; but is only a check—the tide of his fate will still flow onwards. This month is fatal to the King of Saxony, whose kingdom is rent away, and whose life is endangered. The King of Prussia and Emperor of Austria both bow to their adverse fate, and are tumbling before the star of Napoleon." "July—The Autocrat of Russia meets the frowns of fate, and sees his armies de feated, and his ambitious projects overthrown. He may not hope to set his foot in Constantinople during his fifty-eighth year, which is unfortunate." " October— We shall hear of some sudden loss and injury to the affairs of L. Napoleon. Riots prevail in his dominions, and sudden matters affecting his honours, &c. He may now look for the commencement of a series of troubles, accumulating one upon the heels of another, exterminat ing, in the fall of the year 1854, by his overthrow, if not his death." "November—The stars still frown on Aus tria's Emperor, and he is defeated in all his projects. The King of Prussia 4 may look for military misadven tures, losses, and discomfiture. In LONDON there are failing trade, sudden fluctuations in the funds, and a general derangement of commercial interests." "De cember—Paris is filled with sad turmoil, and London full of gloomy thoughts and scenes of sadness ; for but little that is good or vrosperous befals the realm the latter part of this year.' Among other matters promised us in the approaching year by the prescient Zadkiel, are—a bountiful harvest —an entire change of Ministry—war in India, ulti mately (though not in the outset) successful—Continental war in the earlier part of the year, in which Frederick of Prussia will grievously suffer some time in summer. The announcement of all these marvellous events, and a good deal of astronomical and meteorological information, together with weather predictions, tide-tables, and the usual tabular matter, being furnished by Zadkiel for the small charge of sixpence, it is not surprising that his Almanac is in very extensive demand. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. Grantley F. Berkeley has addressed the following. letter "To THE BRITISH AGRICULTURISTS AT HOME AND IN THE COLONIES, AND TO ALL THE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES. " Gentlemen,—The motion of Mr. Villiers having been thoroughly discussed in the Commons, and happily dis posed of, I hasten to avail myself of the accommodation of the press in offering you a few observations. "It is an error to assert that the prosperity at present enjoyed by the industrial classes arises solely from re cent legislation ' or the abrogation of the corn laws. Had we as many labourers in the United Kingdom now as there were in 1846—1 allude more particularly to tho rural districts—the rate of wages at present paid must and would have been infinitely lower, or half the hands been without occupation. " Expatriation, to the extent in which it has gone on since the abrogation of the corn laws, throughout the United Kingdom, is not a proof of prosperity,—far frs it ; while, at the same time, it accounts for the rate of wages paid to those who cling to their native land. On every side it is admitted that the West India colonies are gone ; that 'British Guiana' is below English resus citation,tt and I have therefore a right to ma i n tain there is no source of well - founde d or safe congratulation that there in the assertion that the labouring classes at home are legislatively better off than they arises from the ruin of the ir colonial e brethren if their benefit and from . w that the attempt of Messrs. Villiers, Cobden, the ,, er a i s gtio s r e a rt i: of their relations and friends. and Co., to wrest from the house a refusal to consider the state of the land, and, to deny that that particular interest deserves any further legislative attention, is one tyrannical and oppressive in its inclination and griev ously unjust, while at the same time it militates against that ' unrestricted competition,' for the extended in terests of which they profess themselves so sedulous. Let the land be as free to the farmer as the loom and steam to the manufacturer, the exigencies of the state, of course, considered ; let the produce of the slave be refused, the British market be accessible only to the labour of the free ; let the colonies of the mother country once more lift their eyes above the sea of destruction with which the policy of Lord Grey so o bstinately overwhelmed them ; let emigration decrease, and I will then join in an approval unqualified of ' r ecent legislation.' True, the gold mania may account that for t much absenteeism among the labouring classes, but a rise again is answered by the fact of its cwauismeg, in the wages of those left n l o s t h a o u ul a c izl h v a o vv e, advocacy position been same time, the importation of the precious btyhe not without its effect on the behind resourcestionm a d eo f m a e t tal th i e s coun try. I do not regret the n the debate on Mr. Villiers' mo tion t th he e last first Pnairglhiatmeefnt, as alludedi°to by Mr. Bright in owing to the rTelhaattingthteu htboeusierupshuoAltdiutaukuefinutooruc.o,nsiAdera, ctioonn. theac : 7; tio o n t tshideeirmatpioonsit' imposition o o f b a ta d i u n t e y d ; necess i tated atthat time acknowledgment2tmeet itsth that, a co b n ro te ga nt t e io d n the land deserved an immediate and an extended relief w o i f th the an co rn aws from its peculiar burdens—burdens which I have ever held should have been taken off ere the foreigner had been permitted to come in. These Manchester poli ticians, as it was likely they would do when setting their hands to rural interests, put the cart before the horse, and instituted what they called `free trade' before the fanner was in a fair way to grapple with it, and by so doing their rashness risked eventual success. All I have ever asked is, 'justice for the land,' and I have invariably stated that justice was due, elf' , l er by a protective duty or by the remission of peculiar burdens,—l cared not which. Lord J. Russell, when tested by me, refused to grant relief either way, and the present abortive attempt of Mr. Villiers to withhold any consideration to the land —for it amounts to that—savours of a factious design to cover what in my humble opinion was a remarka b le error in his Lordship's policy. The conclusion to which the House of Commons has come confirms me_ t hat in my position, Th e free-trade majority' returned .to _Parlia ment as a national decision declares t whic h I most , as an conscientiously believe believe to be true,— hat stricted trade is to be the futu re policy' it is wiser to intrust its d etails to Lord Derby and the of Great Britain, it combined present Administration,. as the Legislature, than to an d in the strongest working party he ' Lord John Russell and the incongruous aid m i ght solicit-- not command—for that especial purpose.
