The .4dus, 44, Master Commander John Thomas, is all ataunt in the fitting baiu, wh:ch she was to leave to-day, but her discharge has been deferred till Tues day ; she is badly off for seamen, not above a dozen having as yet entered for her. Her complement of marines, 20 in number, have joined from the Chatham division ; she is to go to Deptford to load with pro visions. The Euryilus, 44, has been masted, and will be rigged by the dockyard riggers, and a party of seamen from the ordinary ; when ready, she will embark convicts and proceed to Gibraltar, to be there stationed as a con vict ship. The Formidable, 84, requires new decks and new channels, &e.; it is therefore improbable, from the time she would take to be got ready, that the officers and crew of the Terrible steam-frigate are about to be turned over to her. The Howe, 120, Advance-ship—From some inquiries which have been made by the Admiralty regarding the state and con lition of this ship, it is probable that she will be ordered for commission shortly. The Birkenhead iron steam-frigate, fitting as a troop• ship, is ordered to have a poop erected and paddle-box boats fitted. G EnnflE Chairman. DAVID NVADDLN"GTON, Deputy Chairman. By order, !

A Goon DAY'S WORK.—A correspondent of the Hartford Courant gives an account of a wedding which he attended in Alabama, the bridegroom of which had done his courting, found the 'Squire, invited the com pany. rode 42 miles for the license, was married, and rode 15 miles for the whisky in 12 hours.—American Paper. A CHEATER CHEATED.—A rather neat exemplifica tion of the " biter bit " occurred at Glasgow a few days ago. On Wednesday last, a young Irish woman, named Judy Doherty, proceeded to the hiring market in Gra ham- square, Glasgow, for the purpose of offering herself as a farm or domestic servant. She was unsuccessful in getting " fee'd," however, and on leaving the market a little down in spirit, she was accosted by a plausible , looking girl, who learned from her the cause of her dis appointment, and also that she was a Roman Catholic. " In that case," said the other, "if you want to raise the wind, you have only to go down to his reverence in the s treet before you, pretend you are hard up,- and want to go hack to Ireland, and you are sure to get a few shil lings." Judy thought the hint a good one, and resolved hd u to act upon it, and the pair a ccordin g l y set out to wait u pon the hiL'hly respectable Catholic clergyman who liy-s i ! i rLe d t. ed hAers thnydle, contain h e a the es door,resides in theA hi: , r r i o s r h i In girl ing some good wearing a pp arel, to the woman who r had taken such an interest in her welfare ; and, at the same time, the latter considerately hinted that Judy wore far too good a gown to mak e a p oor mouth in be fore the priest. They accordingly retired to an entry, were the gown was doffed, and placed in keeping of the friend who had charge of tie bundle; and a tattered handkerchief being thrown over Miss Doherty's shoul ders, she was pronounced to wear a very decided air of destitution, and quite appropriate to the occasion. Judy accordingly went forward, but, after some delay, ascer tained that the reverend gentleman was not to be seen at that time; and as she was getting rather afraid, and ashamed of the object in view at any rate, she thought it best to retire and resume possession of her gown and bundle. The friend, however, had in the meantime bolted with the Irish servant's gear, and, in fact, has not been heard of since. Judy came to the police-office to make her complaint, where the above particulars were elicited, and has to admit she herself was very properly " done" for having attempted to " du" the prie.A.-e- Glasgow Herald. SUICIDE FROM DlSEASE.—Thursday an inquest was held before Mr. Bedford, at the White Swan, Vaux hall Bridge-road, on the body of John Baron, aged 40. The deceased, a carpenter, living at 4, Gulalon Cottages, had led a very intemperate life, producing disease of the brain and chest, which of late had left him in such a state of debility as to render him unaccountable for his actions. On Tuesday morning last his wife had occasion to leave the room, and on returning, in less thnn three minutes, she found him on the floor in a sitting position, bleed ing from a wound in the throat, which he had inflicted with a razor. Mr. Atkinson, surgeon, was called in, and sewed up the wound, but he expired the same night from the effects of the injury. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." SUNDAY TRAVELLING.—At a meeting of the Edin burgh Town Council, on Tuesday last, some discussion took place on the subject of the determination recently come to by the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, to prohibit the running of the morning and evening passenger trains on Sundays. The sentiments expressed by the majority of the speakers were adverse to the discontinuance of that traffic, and, in conclusion, Mr. Falkner submitted the following motion for next business meeting of the council • "• That it be remitted to the Lord Prevost's Committee to prepare a memorial to the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, urging them to re-consider and rescind their resolution to stop the morning and evening passenger trains on the Lord's-day, it being the opinion of this council that a daily means of conveyance, of one kind or another, is absolutely necessary between this city and Glasgow ; and that that the running of a railway passenger-train in the morning and evening of the Lord's-day is not by any means so objectionable as the running of a four-horse ,coach."

It must; be a, vqry consolatory circumstance to those who are so tremblingly alive to any reports concerning - the deficiencies of our navy, that their misgivings are seldom: shared by the parties who may not unnaturally. be.: conceived to possess the best in fon:nation on the subject. Hardly a naval man will be found who will ' not unhesitatingly assert that the improvement of the navy in almost every department has, within his own recollection, been immense; - and such as have had, the good'fortune to get service in these dull times almost unanimously avow their conviction that the superiority of every vessel now in commission to her counterpart of; thirty years .since is sornething quite inconceivable to those who have never enjoyed the opPortunities of comparison. Setting aside indeed Air the moment one particular of the most vital importance, in which the worst abuses of the , old system bid, fair to be revived when. occasion . . may .cal,l, ,we., imagine that the apprehensions so • getterally, felt from time to time' regarding' our naval force . have arisen from statements and inferences pub lished liy persons ivho . judged only from what they saw an 4 heard, and wflich were imperfect for want of due in forMation, snd influmikl - only from want of due contra diction..

This has been attempted by Rear-Admiral Bowles, in a short pam phlet, published just at the close of the last session, but we can hardly say with any great success. It is not that we distrust the correctness of his general views—on the contrary, our impression is, that the mischief of our constructive and instructive vagaries is compara tively superficial, and that we are really, except M a single item, most admirably provided with the solid materials of a fleet to steam or sail against any navy in the world. We do not say the thing could not be done ; we only think that Admiral Bowles has not done it. A gentleman more peculiarly fitted than the Admiral for the task he had assumed could hardly have been named. He had been a Lord of the Admiralty, and bad inspected the experiments of a squadron; yet, as his accession to the naval administration had been very recent, he had, as he himself remarks, but little claim to personal credit, and therefore but little temptation to exaggerate the improvements for which it was de manded. . . _ With - all these opportunities of information and pre tensions to authority, he has said little more to the purpose than could have been urged by a half in formed or anonymous pamphleteer. He touches on one or two leading points, but compresse s th e w h o l e o f hi s remarks upon them into one or tw o b are assert i ons . We do not doubt that his assertions are t rue ; b ut something beyond assertion was precisely what was wanted, and his was precisely . the pen from which it was expected. It was not without misgivings that we saw a professed view of the stat e o f t h e navy put forth in a single widely-print e d octavo sheet, of which one-third is consumed in the preamble. The truth is, that th's preamble is more to the point than any other portion of the book. The exaggerations of jealousy and the mis-statements of ignorance alluded to by the Admiral were undoubt• edly the things to be combated. Nothing could be dearer than the duty of a competent person to "dispel these dangerous delusions, and place the real state of the navy before the public;" nor do we for a moment hesitate to concur with the gallant author in his idea, that "no one could perform this service with more propriety than himself." The Admiral's shot is terribly disappointing. He gets a good sight of the mark, and a good measure of the distance, and then drops his bullet a thousand yards short. People who despair of England's safety because the Avenger is over- engined will not be comforted by a concise intimation dial mean while the country may be assured that our steam navy is in a very efficient and satisfactory condi tion ; nor will those respectable ladies, who have been taught to dread the rampant uxoriousness of French princes, he quieted by the news that Sir Robert Peel's Government set up a steam-hammer at Devenport. The terribly deficient regulations for the supply of sea men to which we have alluded above are briefly noticed by the Admiral, who admits his acquaintance with this weakness of our system, and observes, that his efforts have never been wanting to impress its impor tance on his colleagues. Considering the unanimity which. all parties seem .to profess upon this point, it is not a little extraordinary that all should so concur in neglecting it. No Government measure has yet been projected, or, at least, been published, for superseding a necessity equally dangerous and disgraceful. We still go on in such a course, that, at the very first outbreak of war, all the old villanies of impressment must be put in practice again. We may find some difficulty in substi tuting an efficient and equitable system of recruiting our crews, but we may at least try an experi ment. Half the perseverance that has been shown in making the Scourge carry her bombs, or the Retribution her engines, might have perhaps suc ceeded in organising a reserve of able-bodied seamen at every port. It is hardly clear why we should so neglect the nobler and manlier lesson. For, however laudable may be our yearnings after perfect models, it should never be forgotten, that it was rather in fighting than in running that th e strengt h o f o ur navy was pre sumed to lie. It was by our sailors, not our ships, that we swept the seas from the Isle of France to Falmouth. The top-heavy tubs of our most covetous contractors took in tow the finest models fro m T ou l on or Rcchefort, and it' the excellencies in the two departments of the service were irreconcilable with each other, we would willingly relin quish to other nations the palm of ship-building, and content ourselves with the prerogative of conquering for our own use the magnificent vessels of our enemies.— Times. THE POTATO FAILURE. DUKE OF SUTHERLAND. The subjoined addresses have been circulated by his Grace the Duke of Sutherland to his smaller tenants and workpeople. The potato failure has fortunately been less severe in that county than in Invernessshire or parts of Rossshire, but the Duke expresses his conviction that assistance is necessary, and that it should be ren dered in the shape of employment. A tenant in Suther landshire—Mr. Hall, Evelix, near Dornoch—has pub lished a statement relative to the the people of that county. He says the potatos in his neighbourhood are " nearly half-rotten, but the corn gives well to meal." Mr. Hall corrects the Times Commissioner as to the houses of the peasantry in Sutherland. " From where I write," he says, " there are upwards of one hundred houses within my view occupied by crofters and cotters, and only three where the walls ars made of earth. Ail the rest are substantially built with stone and and lime, or stone and clay; their offices mostly of the same materials, and substantially thatched with stone and clay. The whole county, as to houses, is almost all alike. Now, as to rents. The crofters and cotters generally pay from ss. to 2s. 6d. the Scotch acre for what is arable land, and for what is not arable, adjoining their lots, they pay nothing. The fact is, the rents cannot be lower, if we pay rent at all. I must acknowledge the lots are generally too small to make anything of them but a bare subsistence; but I consider that class of people better off in Sutherland than in any other of the northern counties. I have been acquainted over all_ Scotland—and part of England—for above fifty years, and I consiner the crofter set off people in Sutherland now, as to their houses and accommoda tion, about on a par with those of the same class in the southern counties of Scotland about fifty years ago. The class of people I allude to cannot make rich on such small holdings, but they are generally comfortable, and they show that at kirk at market, for you cannot see a better clad or better looking people in all Scotland, or in the kingdom." The following are the Duke's ad dresses : "I have received a petition from some of the inhabi tants of the parish of Clyne, stating the failure of the potato crop, and praying that measures be immediately devised for the purpose of providing food for the people,' and to arrest as much as possible the impending famine.' " I take the opportunity, in answering this petition, to address the tenantry generally, on the deeply important subject to which it refers. It has received my most anxious attentioa from the time when I found that the disease in the potatos had extended to the county. " In order to ascertain its progress and extent, and to enable me to determine what was the best course to pursue, I have had regular reports, from various sources, from every parish with which I am connected. It is satisfactory that the reports, and especially the most recent, concur in stating that the calamity is less exten sive than was apprehended. "In some parishes the disease has, unfortunately, prevailed to a lamentable extent : in others, the pota tos have suffered little injury, not beyond the average ; on the coastside the disea e, though severe, is not uni versal. " It is satisfactory to learn that other crops were never more abundant or better secured, which, together with a general demand for labour, must diminish the evils occasioned by the unfortunate failure of the potatos. It is, no doubt, natural that the failure should impress the sufferers with the apprehensions which they express ; but it is satisfactory to find, on full consideration, reason to hope that there is no danger here of famine. Such a calamity is best guarded against by the economical use of what has been granted to us, and this I am anxious to impress on those whose means make them indeaendent of potatoes as an article of food. I have felt it a duty in my own family and household to abstain entirely from their use for a considerable period, and feel justified in recommending such a measure. " I fully concur in the opinion entertained by persons most competent to judge, that if, to meet an emergency, assistance becomes necessary to enable the labourer to provide food, a supply of employ ment is most desirable, and for those who may be prevented from leaving fami lies to work in the south, where the demand for labour is great, it should be our endeavour to provide additional work at home, and such as may prove most useful to the people. There was, probably, never a time when work has been so generally within reach. I have every con fidence that the dealers in meal will provide supplies, at the fair market price, for purchase. The regular dealer seem to offer the best means by which the diffi culties can be met ; if extraordinary necessities requires unusual exertions, such will not be wanting. " The helpless poor will be provided by the parochial boards with meal, agreeably to recommendation received in regard to them. "My attention has not been confined to the present case. In order to meet future exigencies, the gentlemen in my confidence will take measures to raise, in different parts of the country, the best sorts of cabbage plants for distribution ; and offer prizes also for the largest quantity of onions and leeks, for which seed will be fur nished; the announcements have been circulated. I wish much to encourage the cultivation of these vegetables.. On the north and west coasts, premiums for fishing have also been advertised. " These important matters, to which reference has been made, have long occupied the attention of myself, and of those whom I consult, and shall continue to do so. I must conclude with observing, that our trial of this distress has been less severe than those of many others elsewhere, and we can best show oar grateful sense of Divine mercy by using carefully the means vouchsafed to us, and by assisting others. " With heartfelt good wishes, I remain your sincere friend, " SUTHERLAND. " Dunrobin, October 12, 1846." "TO THE SUTHERLAND MEN EMPLOYED ♦T THE GOLSPIE QUARRY. "The Duke of Sutherland is desirous of saying a few words, to express his pleasure in giving them employ ment, the want of which is felt here as well as in many other places. Yet the thought must occur that the pre sent employment cannot be of long duration, and that if the quarry itself be not exhausted, still the occasion for the work cannot continue. It may be hoped that new means for so desirable an object may be found, but there can be no certainty, and many must have to go south for work, to earn for themselves and families, and to meet future difficulties. It should be the endeavour of every one to make some saving, and as the saving bank pays interest for small sums which could not be otherwise profitably placed, and the Duke of Sutherland is responsible for the safety of the deposits regularly made, let it be used accordingly. Al that can be saved will no doubt be hereafter needed ; and those who thus show their prudence will have the best claim for consi deration. " SUTHERLAND."

Tan FIRST FOG. —The first fog of the season made its premature appearance on Wednesday—a few days before the month prescribed for such visitations, No vember. It was unusually dense, and much incon venience, with a few fatal casualities, were the con sequence. The trains on nearly every railway arrived behind time, in cons equence o f t h e s low rate it was necessary to travel to prevent accidents. Most of the steam-boats on the river did not ply at all whilst the fog was at the thi c k est, an d very littl e business could be done at the wharfs. The departure of several vessels from the deeks was delayed, and many on their way to the Pool were unable to proceed to their destination. The Greenwich and Woolwich and above bridge steamers were laid up for several hours, and the passengers who generally proceed daily by those vessels were compelled to travel by laud. The fog extended below Gravesend, and several of the continental steamers were unable to enter the river. At an early hour in the morning a barge heavily laden with coal was being towed up the Pool, when it was struck by a collier brig ; the force of the blow cap ized the barge, and from the darkness which prevailed it was impossible to render any assistance to its crew, three in number. One, named Henry Wil kinson managed to swim to the shore ; the other two are supposed to have perished --In the streets amegs Cheapside,si b e u l e s c . t th eß f o llowing: h‘vw a s eknockede isp a ss e d A y downou overn g ha w lei r o d r a gu n sn: a long list of acc id en t s h as been reported to us, i o f w r vh o e m i rl which yc h r i ao c n h s s and she was picked up to all appearance dead. She was conveyed in a cab to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and is not expected to survive.—Shortly afterwards, in the City-road, Frederi c k Willi ams, a lad about eig ht years of age, was run over by a butcher's cart: his arm and collar-bone wero broken, and his skull was fractured.— About five o'clock one of the Paddington omnibuses, in the eastern portion of Oxford-street, ran with a fearful crash against another, throwing a passenger violently to the ground from the top. The injuries sustained were of such a nature that but little hopes are entertained o f his recovery. ROMAN REMAINS IN THE CITY.—On Friday, while some men ware excavating the ground in Little St. Thomas Apostle, adjoining the house 9, Queen -street, Cheapside, for the purpose of forming an opening into a sewer, they discovered a beautiful specimen of the Roman tesselated pavement in perfect condition. It was met with at a depth from the street of about six feet, and is supposed to be the border - of a pavement of some extent. THE GLASGOW CORN TRANE.—(From Messrs. Brown's Circular.)—GLASGOW, OCT. 2 8.—Since our last the arrivals c oastwise consisted of about 2,500 quart ers y of wheat, 3,600 q uarters of barle, 360 quarters of oats, 600 quarters of beans and peas, and 1,300 sacks of flour. Supplies from Ireland have rather increased, viz., about 2,000 barrels of wheat, 900 barrels of barley, 9,000 bar rels of oats, 600 barrels of beans, and 1,300 sacks of flour ; several cargoes, overdue, being delayed by the late gales. About 3,500 quasters of wheat, 900 quarters of beans and peas, and 6,000 of flour, have arrived from abroad. Wheat and flour have not varied in value ; both a fair sale at full rates. Barley has to be written Is. to 2s. dearer per 3201 b., the suppl y i no , falling short of the demand. Oats and oatmeal have been more in- Tuve • d after, at a rise of Is. to 2 s. per boll or load re spectively. Beans and peas realised the extreme rates. Indian corn on passage in great request for Ireland ; our market is bare of stock. At this day's market there was a slender attendance. Wheat and flour were held firmly, but the trade was not brisk ; barely in demand. The advance in price for oats and oatmeal tended to check bus i ne ss. Beans and peas un a l tere d .

FOREIGN POTATOES.—The following are among the latest arrivals of potatoes from abroad, the mention of which will be interesting, and of importance at th,• present time. The Rob Roy, arrived at the port of Hull from St. Petersburg, brought 27 bags, the produce of Russia • the Marys from Jersey, at this port, two pack ages, die produce of that island ; the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, 15 baskets, the produce of Holland ; a ves sel, named La Providence, an entire eargo, comprising 10 tons weight, from Boulogne, the produce of France ; the Ocean, from Rotterdam, 20 baskets, the growth of Holland ; and the Navigateur, from Dunkirk, au entire cargo, consisting of the very large quantity of 110 tons weight of the article, the production of Normandy. We believe that some other arrivals have taken place, but the above are those which appear most deserving of an especial notice. FATAL ACCIDENT YESTERDAY ON THE MAN CHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.—An accident, by which two men lost their lives on the above railway, took place yesterday between the Brighouse and Elland stations. It appears that two plate-layers heard a luggage-train upon the up-line, and unfortunately stepped on the down line out of its way. At that instant the express train, which leaves Manchester at a quarter-past eight, came down, and both of the men were killed before they could get out of the way. The morning was -very foggy, and it is thought the men did not see the express train in time, and that the noise of the luggage-train prevented them hearing it.— Wakefield Journal, Oct. 30. THE NEW - AMERICAN MINISTER.—Of Mr. Ban croft, who has just sailed for Europe in the capacity of Minister from this country to England, the Journal of Commerce says, and says well and truly, ‘• It is true that Mr. Bancroft is a zealous party man; if he had not been so, he could not, according to our present political usages, have obtained favour under this Administration, but he is not a mere party man. His fame rests on his talents as an author, his profound and varied literary acquirements, and perhaps we may add his oratorical abilities. Be is emphatically the historian of this coun try ; for none of his predecessors, who have entered the same field, have possessed the ability, industry, and expansive views of the historical province which he has brought to his laborious and ho nourable task. Moreover, other historians have not been so fortunate in having access to original materials. The accuracy of his history, and the beauty of its style, have not only spread the tame of the author through this country, but have extended that reputation abroad, which his previous literary efforts had founded. Mr. Bancroft does not therefore go to England unheralded. He is known there in the best circles as a scholar, his torian, and statesman, nor will his republicanism injure the cordiality of his reception among a people too high_ minded not to respect honest difference of opinion. Mr. Bancroft's immediate friends, therefore, must be grati , fled with the position he is about to occupy, while the country at large cannot but be benefited by his diplo matic services, and the results of his free access to the national archives of Great Britain, where he can obtain materials that will enable him to throw an additional light on the history of our republic."—Nein York Even ing Lost. PIGEON FLYING MATCH FOR 151.—0 n Friday a match, which has long excited the attention of the fancy, was decided. Three pigeons, belonging respectively to Messrs. Reeves, Johnson, and :Thamberlain, of Lambeth, were to fly a match for a sweepstakes of 51. each. The pigeons were conveyed to Brighton, and the three birds were tossed up together. A blue pigeon, of the dragon species, made its appearance in London in 69 minutes after it was turned up, the distance being about 55 miles, and, in accordance with the agreement, it was declared the winner. PRICE SD. A SECOND 1 ETTER TO THE MEM BERS OF AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES, AND OTHERS INTERESTED IN LAND. Gentlemen,--As I find that my first address to you has excited some attention, I shall, with your permis sion, enter a little more fully into the subject. But before I do this, allow me to warn you against certain classes of persons who may mislead you in this important matter. The first consists of men who are fond of novelties, sanguine beings who run with eagerness after every painted bubble which the excited brain of the enthu siast throws off. These persons, often with the best intentions, will hail any scheme which is proposed with rapture ; will talk themselves out of breath in its praise; but when the real difficulties present themselves, when the eye of criticism looks coldly upon it, and still more when the shaft of satire is directed against it and its proposer, they will fall away and go in search of other things. Do not, then, trust to these persons, but use your own faculties as men of common sense, and judge for yourselves. Another class will go as far on the other side. Unable to perceive anything beyond their own narrow range of vision, they will obstinately refuse to believe that any thing which they do not see or have not seen can really exist ; and to this class belong those who not only can not see, but who will not see. Beware of these also, and judge for yourselves. But besides these two classes, who are generally honest and well-intentioned, there are others with whom we have to deal to whom I cannot apply these epithets. Remember that in proposing great changes I am affect ing not only the interests of many thousands of persons, but those of the most learned and the most subtle of men. Remember that any proposals must not only be proof against all that ingenuity, experience, and know ledge can suggest, but they are a l so ex p ose d to all that malice can invent—all that jealousy can inspire. Re member that it has usually been the fate of those who have advanced truths opposed to the seeming interests of particular classes to have the fire which cannot be effec tually directed against their measures turned on them selves. Remember that this may possibly happen in the present case. Neither must I forget that persons who have proposed reforms as great and as useful as I believe those which I propose to be, have struggled all their lives to establish them, and have passed their whole existence under the shade of calumny. This may pos sibly be my own fate, although so far I have no reason to fear it. But be who ventures to lead an assault must take his chance of being thrown down ; and it is over his body that others mount to the breach which he has made, and thus obtain the victory. I would not trouble you with all this, if I did not think it necessary; and now, before telling you what Ido want, allow me to tell you what I do not want. I do not wish any alteration, as some one has suggested, either in the law of primogeniture or in the law of entail. It appears to me that the law of primogeniture is well adapted to the institutions of this country, and I do not wish to alter those institu tions ; nor do I at all object to the present law of entail as it exists in England. If persons choose to entail their lands, I do not see why they should not be allowed to do so, provided every tenant in tail may cut off the entail at 21. This is now the law in this country, and I see no reason for altering it. But what I do wish you to obtain is this—that you may transfer your land, if you wish to do so, more easily and with less expense; that you may buy your land more easily and with less expense; that if you wish to borrow money on your land, you may do it more easily; and that if you wish to invest money on other people's land, you may do it more easily. These may seem very trite and simple matters. But you know that at present you cannot do any of them both safely and easily ; you know that the expense and difficulty of those transactions are always great, and in many cases enormous; and I will now show you how this state of the law affects the value of your land. lii doing this, I must be permitted to consider land as a commodity, the value of which depends on the rules which govern the value of any other commodity. In a former age, we know that it was treated differently. It was considered as a means of affording a defence to the State. It was governed by a different policy. Every piece of land had an armed warrior to maintain its possession for his lord. You may smile at this, but the remnant of this system is in existence at the present moment as a legal fiction. This ideal seisin of land, as it is called. is ever present to the eye of the law, and must not be disturbed for one moment ; and many absurd consequences still arise from this state of the law. It is of no great practical consequence, but I mention it to show that we are in the habit of treat ing land as if it was essentially different from other commodities, when the reason for so considering it has entirely ceased. We make a mystery of it ; we blind. fold our own eyes in all our dealings with it ; before we can even talk respecting it correctly we must learn a new language; we have been hitherto content to consider it as a distinct article, to be dealt in by a few, and under cir cumstances not existing in anything else. Now if any body thinks this should be so—that some political advantage is to be gained by so considering it—that some great state policy is involved in it—l shall be quite willing to hear him as to that ; but as Ido not know any one who does think so, I must assume that land, if it be possible to make it so, and so far as the nature of the thing allows, should be dealt in as any other com modity, and that the same rules regulate its value. Now what are those rules? Do not be afraid that I am going into any politico-economical questions. The rules of which I wish to remind you are familiar to you all, and are acted on by all; and our good Dame Debo rah is at this moment carrying them into actual prac tice as she rides on Dobbin to sell her butter and eggs. What she wants for her commodities, and what you want for your land, is a certain market, and as large a class of purchasers for your commodity as possible. Supposing you !could not sell your land at all, what would be its value? Does it not follow from this that the nearer the state of the law approximates to a positive prohibition of sale, the more is your land depreciated in value—and the greater the facility you can get in disposing of the land, the higher will be its value? The greater ease, the less expense which attends its transfer, the greater will be the number of persons who will be disposed to deal in it ; and if they can part with it again as readily as they have acquired it, the less hesitation will they have in purchasing it. Now, land is of intrinsic value ; it is as valuable as gold or as jewels, and should be nearly as' readily convertible. But how stand the facts ? Persons may tell you that you can buy it readily, and sell it readily, just as the shoemaker may tell you that your tight shoe is a perfect fit. But, alas ! you know that this is not the case. You know the delay, the difficulty, the expense, the • hazard of all dealings with land, and can you wonder that it affects the state of the market for it ? How many persons in this great city of London, the market for every other commodity, are owners of land in fee simple ? How many of its in habitants having 500/, to invest ever think of investing it in land in the way either of purchase or of mortgage? Are not the middle and lower classes practically ex cluded from the purchase of land ? Do the great consumers of all other commodities deal in this ? And is this state of things beneficial to any class ? Do you suppose that persons in the middle and lower ranks do not wish to be purchasers of land ? Let the success of the late building so cieties, which are a clumsy contrivance to supply this demand, answer that question. The Englishman does not differ in this respect from the Frenchman, the Belgian, or the Prussian, except that the men of the last three nations can and do supply their wants in this respect, but the Englishman the law sends empty away. For who, without some ether purpose to gain, or having some other object in view, having a small sum to lay out, would endure the delay, uncertainty, and ex pense which he knows full well attend the purchase of land ? He knows not what time lie may have to wait for the completion of his title, what expense he may not incur, and that after all the purchase may go off alto ;ether, and he stand planie la without his intereet. Is it to be wondered at that, under these circumstances, a thousand persons enter the Stock-Exchange to invest their savings for one who goes to the Auction Mart? Well, then, gentlemen, is there no remedy for this state of things ? Are the circumstances which should be peculiarly favourable to the landowner in this country to be pleaded as a bar to his obtaining his just riehts ? Land should be more, not less, valuable here than on the continent ; for there is much less land, comparing it with the population, and much more money to invest in it. What, then do I ask? Inquiry. Ido not ask you to adopt those institutions which I have already mention( d as existing in other neighbouring countries—a register of titles and a general map by which all lands may be described and conveyed. I merely urge upon you to demand of the Government that inquiry shall be made whether these institutions may be properly and safely adopted in this country. I only venture to express my opinion, that after a careful examination of the subject, they may be made the groundwork of a great change, of which you will immediately receive the benefit. This is not the place to enter into details, but I am . prepared to do so if neces sary , and if the professional knowledge and ingenuity hieh exist in this country are turned in this direction, I have no doubt of the result being satisfactory. I ask for no rash, no sudden change. I cannot too often repeat that I ask only for competent and disinterested inquiry. And now one word, in conclusion, to the members of my own profession. Many who are most competent to form an opinion on the subject agree with me in thinking that the time is come when a great change is neces sary. But there are many others who believe that their own interests are bound up in the present system. I do respectfully beg these last to consider this well. No one proposes to dispense with professional services in dealings with land. Let them, then, remember that if these are greatly increased in number, the profession who assist in making them will be the first to benefit by the change. What motive can I have in urging a measure injurious to my own branch of the profession ? If there be poison in the cup which I ask my brethren to drink, I myself must suffer from its contents. Let u', then, approach this inquiry with calm and unprejudiced minds, and I am sanguine enough to hope that all classes will be benefited by it, and the legal profession among others.—l am, gentlemen, your moat obedient servant, JAMES STEWART.

LITEnrooL, FRIDAY.—The duties on all kinds of fo reign grain and flour remain at the lowest points. The imports from Ir-land and coastwise continue on an ex tremely limited scale ; from Canada only 356 barrels of flour are reported ; and from foreign ports, 9,052 quar ters of wheat, 941 quarters of Indian corn, and 9,328 barrels of flour. The trade since Tuesday has not been lively, but a fair consumptive dema n d h as b een experi enced for every article in the trade, at the extreme prices of that day. In bonded wheat or flou r no transact i ons of moment have transpired. Our market to-day was thinly attend , , d by millers and dealers, and the market beingexeessively flat, scarcely any transactions took place. Where any sales of whe,t were made, lower prices had to be submitted to; and flour, both flee and bonded, was offered at a decline of Is. 6d. per barrel. Oats, barley, beans, peas, Indian corn and meal being scarce, were held for farmer rates, but v e r y few transactions occurred. WAKEFIELD, FRIDAY, OCT. 30. ARRIVALS. Qrs.

Chronicle.: DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN'S SOCIETY. On Thursday, at half-past two o'clock, the third an nual meeting of the Distressed Needlewomen's Society was held in Willis's rooms, King-street, St. James's, when the chair was taken by Mr. Alderman Farebro ther, president of the society. On the platform, right and left of the- president, were—Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. L. J. Hansard, Mr. E. Brewster, Mr. R. L. Swift, Mr. More, Mr. Gladwell, Mr. Roper, the Secretary of the society, &c. The body of the meeting, which was highly respectable, was chiefly composed of ladies. The proceedings commenced by the Secretary (Mr. Roper) reading the report of the directors, from which the following are extracts : " The friends of the institution are aware that the cir cumstance which first led to the formation of this society was the truly distressed state of the poor needlewomen, ho were toiling for fourteen or fifteen hours daily ; and even then, from the small wages paid to them, earning only about 4d. or 6d. per day, not sufficient to pay more than the rent of their miserable dwelling rooms, and many of them with large families almost in a state of starvation ; which frequently led them to the pawning of the goods intrusted to them, to obtain bread for their children. Since the establishment of this society, and by great exertion and meetings with many of the guardians of the workhouses and unions, they have ceased to allow in some instances any needle work to be taken in ; but it is believed (in every case wteiohnonhecrocreepeur increase nssleileore a vnd l o l i , e int w itgonh e stes d htee ) neeaduk f l u roo ll ebof;feru p rasgs r ee i om c ft e fhp s ot eshryt a ort r seh e wesseim n sewhs o sh, ee vr odlav,ne c wbds h yo a apu r nhrl g dode ed vneehehnsa ; ittilvd t en h irng n eban s eusthein ti ne- t try to support their own families. " The Ladies' Committee have in very few instances afforded relief by giving money, and then only under circumstances of deep distress arising from sickness ; but the greatest benefits have been known to arise from the supporters of the cha! ity giving to the poor (in the winter season especially) articles of clothing furnished by the society ; and the Ladies' Committee have com pletely clothed some young women, so as to enable them to go into respectable service, and thus save them from the temptation which poverty frequently compels these poor girls to fall into." The report further contained an account of the receipts and expenditure for the past year, from which it ap peared that by donations and subscriptions a sum of 5201. 19s. Bd. had been raised, which, added to a balance from the previous year's accounts of 391. 6s. Bd., made a total of 5601. 6a. ld. There is at present a balance is the banker's hands of 441. 19s. Bd., from which it appears that the sum expended during the year has amounted to 5151 63. sd. After reading the report, The SECRETARY stated, that in addition to this so• ciety there existed one for giving assistance to dress makers and milliners, but it ought to be known that the two societies were wholly distinct, though they had kin dred objects in view, and were mutual in their good wishes towards each other. He might state, in addition, that the distress of the needlewomen was formerly very much caused by the mistake committed by the unions and workhouses employing poor women in needlework, and that at a miserable rate of payment. He had, last year, seen from 50 to 60 women at this kind of work in one small room of a workhouse ; and one of them (a widow) told him that her husband had once been in a respectable business in the parish, while she, by order of his former associates. was now making shirts at a far thing each. The amount paid in that workhouse for net dlework was 2001. for one year, whereas by paying only ls. a day it should have been 1,0001. The CHAIRMAN, before any resolution with reference to the report was laid before the meeting, begged to ex press his regret at the loss which the institution had sustained from the retirement of Lord Ashley from its management; but at the same time he believed the noble lord continued to have the best wishes for its success, seeing it was only within these two or three days that Lady Ashley had sent a donation to its funds; and he believed the reason of his Lordship's retirement was, that he did not wish to be chairman of two societies of a similar kind at the same time. The CHAIRMAN then pointed out the advantages which such a society conferred, by enabling mothers to work at home, and thus superintend the training and comforts of their children ; but it also was the means of giving effectual assistance to many who might otherwise sink beneath misfortune. Numerous cases of this kind could be referred to, though it would evidently be improper to give publi city to the names of the parties most deeply interested. One case which bad come to his knowledge he would simply state :—A gentleman had informed him of two ladies who lived in a cold back room, without fire, with out candle, and almost without food. Now, these ladies he had himself seen in the county of Kent entering the carriage of their father. Their father and mother and friends were now dead. The last remnant of their pro perty, about 8001., they had given to a brother, whom they loved; the brother, unfortunately, had trusted the money into the hands of another, and all was lost. He died a death of misery, embittered by the thought that he had been, though innocently, the cause of his sisters' wretched ness. These ladies were introduced to the society, and they were now earning from Bs. to 9s. a week, and felt happier than they ever had been in their lives before. They had written a letter full of gratitude and expressions of regard towards the supporters of the society. He would not give their names, but was willing to give privately such information to those who desired it as would prove they were now living in comfort, while formerly they were in misery. —(Hear.) He trusted, therefore, that s society which could accomplish such excellent objects as these would continue to be supported, Lord D. STUART then moved " that the report be adopted and circulated," and spoke of the great benefits which such an institution as the pre sent was calculated to confer. It was, at the same time, lamentable that their greatest efforts should be able to give the objects of their care so small a measure of the comforts of life. It was indeed melancholy to think that in this metropolis, where there was so much wealth, and splendour, and luxury, there should also exist such a mass of misery and destitution. He rejoiced therefore at the existence of an institution which afforded assistance to the poor in a way which of all others was most desirable, that of procuring for them employment.—(Hear.) That was a mode of giving aid ten times better for moral character, and for preventing feelings of humiliation, than any other mode that could be adopted. The Noble Lord concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. E. BREWSTER seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. Mr. L. J. HANSARD moved the following resolution:— " That this meeting views with much satisfaction the happy progress the society has already made in rooting out the evils that caused so much misery to the indus trious sempstresses, and pledge themselves to continue their exertions in support of so praiseworthy an under taking." The resolution was seconded by Mr. Mont, and unanimously agreed to. Mr. GLADWELL moved the next resolution, which was as follows : " That the objects of the society are not only beneficial to the sempstresses, but will also protect the interests of the fair-dealing tradesman, and consequently will secure their support." _ _ _ As a tradesman be had been requested to offer his opinion, and had much pleasure in expressing his entire concurrence with the objects of the society, and his be lief that much advantage was likely to flow from its operations. - This resolution was also unanimously agreed to. Mr. R. L. SWIFT moved a vote of thanks to Alderman Farebrother for his conduct in the chair, and spoke of his great liberality in contributing to the charitable in stitutions of the country. He had seen a list of institu tions to the number of upwards of 40, to all of which the worthy alderman was a liberal contributor.—(Hear.) The motion having been unanimously carried, The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, OCTOSER 30.
