FRANCE. ivate letters from Brest, dated the 27th, men- lat much activity is observable in the dockyards ; town. The Girafe transport, 5410 tons, is orders for sea by , the Ist of October. Her iation is said to be Toulon, to which port she . 200 marines and a quantity of timber fur all ots. She is likewise to take on hoard 15,000 rations. The frigate Africaine, and the transport ships the Caravanea, Allier, and Prosercine, of 800 tons, are to he commissioned on the Ist. These vessels are, it is said, to convey troops to the colonies, to relieve those at present stationed there, The Souffieur and the steam corvette Laborieux had arrived, and been taken iuto dock. Letters from the Belgian frontier state that the miners of Mons had manifested intentions of commit ting depredations in France. Orders are stated to have been given to the military commandants of the frontier towns to repel any such should they be at tempted. The same letters add that the garrison of Lille was yesterday kept in its barracks, with the view of noting if necessary. The itlessager de Gand states that all the beads of the linen factories in that neighbourhood have just held a meeting, to take into consideration the present critical situation of their business, in consequence of the commercial differences between Belgium and France. 'filet meeting eventually decided to send in a memorial to the Belgian Gaverllment, to impress on it the necessity of immediately resuming the ne gotiations. The Maniteur publishes the official returns of the price of wheat ie the various markets of France, from which it appears that the highest price is 23 francs 10 centimes the hectolitre at Marseilles, and the lowest price is 15 francs 34 centimes the hectolitre at Toulouse. GERMANY. The following passage from the memoirs of the Mat„ General Von Muffling, written by himself, under th e title of " Ana meinem Leben," will perhaps at this moment be read with some interest. .aliiffling was the agent of all communications between the head-quarters of Blucher and the Duke of Welling ton during the march of the allies on Paris, after the return ofiNapoleon from Elba : "During the march (after the battle of Waterloo) Blucher had once a chance of taking Napoleon prisoner, which he was very anxious to do; from the French Commissioners who were sent to him to propose an armistice, ho demanded the delivery of Napoleon to him as the first condition of the negotiations. I was charged by Marshal Blucher to represent to the Duke of Wel lington that the Congress of Vienna had declared Napo leon °Clawed, and that he was determined to have him shot the moment he fell into his hands. Yet he wished to know from the Duke what he thought of the matter; for if lie (the Duke) had the same intentions, the Mar shal was willing to act with him in carrying them into effect. _ _ " The Duke looked at me rather astonished, and began to dispute the correctness of the Marshal's interprets tipn of the proclamation of Vienna, which was not at all intended to authorize or incite to the murder of Napoleon; he believed, therefore, that no right to shoot him in case he should be made prisoner of war coald 'oe founded on this document, and he thought the poJition both of himself and the Marshal towards Na po', o.a, since the victory had been won, was too high to permit such an act to be committed. I had felt all the force of the Duke's arguments before I delivered the ntesqr, - ,re I had very unwillingly undertaken, and was, therefore, not inclined to oppose them. I therefore,' contented the Duke, wish my friend and colleague to see this matter in the light I du; such an act would give our times to history stained by a crime, and posterity mail say of ni, they were not worth,; to be his con quei ors; the more so, as such a deed is useless, and can ta ,7 a nr) object.' Of these expressions I ouly used enough to dissuade Blucher from his intention." There are three dispatches given by Miiffling . in 'the appendix to his memoirs, in which the execution of Napoleon is urged on the Duke of Wellington by Blucher ; they are signed by Gneisenau, and leave no doubt of the determination to revenge the bloodshed of the war on the cause of it, bad he fallen into the bands of the Prussian Commander. Blucher's fixed idea vkfas that the Emperor should be executed on the very vot where the Due d'Engbien was put to death. The last dispatch yields an unwilling assent to the Duke • t Wellington's remonstrances, and calls his inter ference "dramatic magnanimity," which the Prussian head-quarters did not at all comprehend. Probably , 74t few Frenchmen are aware of the existence of this correspondence, or that it is an historical fact Napo leon's life was saved by his rival, whom it cost no small exertion to save it. TUNIS. A Etter from Tunis announces, that on the 13th ult., 'at two A.M., a furtreas within a short distance of 3.6 town had exploded. The houses within the gate 3e'a-Saduun, together with the Turkish mosque, were thrown down by the shock. A cannon fell from 'zhe top of a tower on the Corn-market. All the msgmiticent mirrors in the Seraglio and in the Barde biye been broken to pieces ; a windmill alone is left standing. Lstters from Tunis also announce that the state of the Bay's health is alarming. One arm and one leg have become entirely paralysed, and the Bey has not been able to take the baths which he usually uses livery year. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.)

This magnificent vessel made her first signal of arrival from the West Indies in Southampton Water, at 9, P.M., on Wednesday. At 10, P.M., boats with persons from Southampton were alongside. On stepping aboard they found the saloon brilliantly lighted up, and a band of musicians playing sprightly airs to beguile the time of the passengers. At 11, P.M., the mails were landed, and the Admiralty agent and captain of the ship were ashore. The La Plata left St. Thomas on the 16th September. Her consump tion of coal on her homeward voyage averaged 93 tons per clay, and her average steaming was about 280 miles daily. On her outward voyage her consump tion of coals was ninety-four tons per day, and her speed was about 290 miles daily. The slight supe riority of her outward voyage, as compared with her homeward one, was owing to the very favourable winds she experienced going out. No long time can elapse before Australia must be reached by the shortest route and by the quickest means. That route is undoubtedly the western one, via Panama, and those ,means are paddle-box steamers. The long sea space of 4,488 miles, between Pa nama and Tahiti, has hitherto been considered the great obstacle to a rapid voyage to Australia, because of the difficulty which was believed to exist of paddle box steamers carrying fuel sufficient to go such a distance. The performances of the La Plata enable us to judge of the practicability of a paddle-box steamer traversing this sea-space. It is now proved that tbat steamer can carry 1,400 tons of coals, and travels 290 miles daily, at an expense of 94 tons. She could thus carry fuel sufficient for 15 days' consumption, and she could traverse during that period about 4,300 miles, which is within 200 miles of the sea-space between Panama and Tahiti. There is not tha slightest doubt that she could be made to carry sufficient for a voyage of 4,500 miles, and to travel nearly 300 miles daily. The great difficulty in reanoing Australia by the quickest possible means is there fore overcome, and it will be no longer considered that the voyage to our Australian colonies can only be reached by sailing-vessels or screw steamers. We are now independent of the wind in reaching the antipodes. The performance of the La Plata will mark an epoch i n the history of ocean navigation. She can go hundreds of miles farther with one sup ply of fuel and at a greater speed than any vessel ever built. One such vessel placed at Southampton, another at Panama, and another at Tahiti, fully ccailed and ready to start at a moment's notice, and a communication could be made from Southampton to Sydney in about seven weeks. It is now, therefore, Practicable to literally traverse a straight line on two oneans, which measure together 12,000 miles in length, or over one-half the circumference of the globe, by water in less than two months. Of all the triumphs of the intellect of man, this is one of the greatest, and will turn out the most useful. THE EXPERIENCE OF A PROFES- SIONAL TRAMP. " Yer see," he deigned to explain to me, after he had dispatched his supper, " I likes change. I SLM , tilers in the country and winters in London. There's refuges and ressipockles' " (by which I presume he meant receptacles), "in winter time, and lots of coves as gives yer grub. Then comes spring time; I get passed to my parish,—the further off the better,—and I gets a penny a mile. When I gets there I goes cross country, on quite another track. I knows every union in England. In some they gives you bread and cheese, and in some broth, and in some skillygolee. In some they gives you breakfast in the morning, and in some they does'nt. You have to work your bed out. Here, Kingston way, you wheels barrows ; at Guildford you pumps ; at Richmond you breaks stones - at Farnha m y ou p i c k s oa kum ; at Wandsworth they makes you grind corn in a handmill till your fingers almost drop off at yer wristes. At Brighton, now, they're a good sort, kin d only makes you chop up firewood ; but Ports mouth'a the place. You're a young un," he pursued, benignantly, " and green.

The taters is lik e d o ll ops o ' meal. " Why don't you chuck them ere shoeses off," asked my :friend as we plodded along. "'they wouldn't fetch mothing to sell, and they're only a bother to walk in, unless you was to put some wet grass in 'ern. Look at my trotters," he continued, pointing to his feet, and tapping the sole of one of them with the blade of his knife, " they'se as hard as bricks, they is. Go buff-stoppered, that's the game." Some remnant of Master Somebody's pride in his neat Bluchers musi have lingered about me, for I declined the invitation to walk barefoot. " When shoes is shoes," pursued the t ra mp, argumentatively, " they're good for those as likes 'em, which I don't ; but when they're crab- Adis, and leaky and gummy in the soles, and lark heeled, the sooner you get shut of them the better. The re'i togs, too," he pursued, looking w ith proper his own attire, "the soon er y ou pee l s off them clothilr:de at kicksies the better. There ain't no wear in '.131 and they se no good, if you ain't on thc ' flash lay.

Tearing up is 21 days, and quod meals, which is mind ye reglar, is good for a cove, sod freshens him up." Here he sat down on a milestone ; and' pt wincing a remarkably neat housewife case, pro ceeded to overhaul all parts of his apparel with as m uch care and circumspection as if they had been of pt mple and fine linen, catching up any stray renis and " Jacob's ladders," with a grave and deliberate coun ts nance.—Dickens's Household Words. COMMITTAL of a NOTORIOUS BURGLAR 4t notorious burglar, named 51 , ?ggs, one of a gang of des perste ruffians who have long infested the neighbour hoc )d of Frome, and who, after eluding justice for a long per iod, was recently captured through the activity of No\ vport, one of the Frome constables, has been fully cow mitted for trial by the Frome magistrates on two dist inct charges. On the premise.s of the prisoner being scar ched there were found on them no less than seven bags of skeleton keys, containing 130 altogether. They were concealed in a floor under the loft, and lying by LONDnN, them was a pair of knitted socks, such as housebreakers wear over their shoes to prevent noise; they were wet, and the fresh grass upon them clearly showed that they had been recently worn. The occurrence created con siderable excitement in the town of Frame, and the streets were lined with people, in the same manner as when the prisoner with his companions Hurd and Spar row were in custody on suspicion of being the mur derers of the girl Watts at Keyford. The prisoner ap peared much dejected. The evidence given against him was similar to that upon which Sparrow and Hurd have already been transported. In the case of the robbary of Mr. Plaister's warehouse it was proved that a man named White, who was watching his garden to prevent depredations on the night of the 12th of June last, saw the prisoner and Sparrow get over a wall and go to the door of the warehouse. White ran and got the assistance of three other men, and on returning caught the prisoner Maggs and Sparrow coming out laden with a bag con taining cheese; a struggle ensued, but though the goods were captured the thieves succeeded in getting away. Two caps belonging to the prisoner and Sparrow were also found; they were so made as to form a disguise for the face. The prisoner was fully committed for trial, and this formidable gang is now broken up. PRICES OF SHARES -[N BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COl5l PANIE'S' STOCK. From the Official List.

At Pen rith the subject of farmyard manure was touched on. Now, I look upon that as the real and substan tial support of a farm, as the greater quantity of farm-yard manure the farmer can make the better. As was very justly observed, guano suits a grain crop. It brings bad uncultivated land forward quicker than any other description of manure will do, but the farm-yard manure is the assemblage of all kinds of what Lord Palmerston said very pro perly was dirt in its right place.—(Laughter.) There is in it animal, vegetable, liquid, and solid manure brought together, and it is what stimulates, and nourishes, and brings forth the greatest amount of sustenance to the vegetable kingdom. It is that on which a farm chiefly relies, or ought to rely. With respect to guano, it is exceedingly valuable, especially on the tops of oar hills, where other manure is difficult and expensive to be carted. It is a substitute, but it is not the real solid nutriment of the land, which farm yard manure certainly is ; and I should. recommend, speaking generally, where you see on farms dung heaps, with the liquid manure running away to the gutters, that the greatest care should be taken to pre serve it. I will say that no one here despises more than Ido all those visionary ideas put forth by the Board of Health as to the sewage of Whitehaven being worth 9,0001. a year, when I see in the Times of this day that they make a triumph of disposing of the sewage of Richmond for 103. a year.—(Laughter.) Now, Richmond is a town nearly as large as this. It has from 14,000 to 15,000 inhabitants, and if any one will consult the Times of this day they will see it is made a subject of triumph that a person has agreed to dispose of the sewage of Richmond for 10a. per annum. The real substantial old English view by which I would estimate the ability and willingness of a farmer is the largeness of his manure heap pro duced by his own stock—it is the gathering together of all manure of his cattle—all the rubbish or dirt about his place into his general farm-yard heap; and this, I believe, will do more good to the land, and keep up better its capabilities of yield—keep up the quality and quantity of the productions of his farm better than anything else in the shape of manure. To be sure we speak of guano as a certainty; but I think it is a very uncertain article. We have had the advantage of getting it in abundance of late years, but recently disputes have arisen about these distant islands of the Pacific, and there is also some dispute about the quantity these islands can produce. We must look into all these matters ; and it would be well for all farmers to calculate against passing events, and rely to a certain degree upon manure of their own manufacture. This brings me further to say that, as regards the manufacture of manure, a great desideratum would be to hare all your stock in a narrow compass, so that the manure might be col lected. When fed at home the cattle are in better health than when they are allowed to stray over large fields, where they get a por tion of all kinds of feeding. We know than no land of an inferior quality, either light, or clayey, or wet, can produce sufficient artificial grass to keep a large stock at home. There are circum stances which have arisen from my observations from which some may dissent ; but I think it right on this occasion to express my opinion, with the little expe rience I have had on these questions. It is proper that I should do Bo at this meeting of the West Cum berland Society, in which I have naturally so deep an interest, and I may add that if any one can point out to me any improvement, I shall be happy to adopt it. I entirely agree with the observations of Mr. Parkinson upon the labourers of this county, and in proof of it, upon my legs this time last year (although I did not then take such an enlarged view of the subject as Mr. Parkinson) I observed with regard to the list of prizes to be given to labourers who had lived the longest in their places, I was sorry to see so limited a sum appropriated to the industrious labourers and labourers of good character. I pledged myself then to add 101. to it; but I find that by some omis sion or other, or by some want of attention on the part of the committee, it has been entirely forgotten. I offered the 10/., and I thought my word was as good as a letter; but I see there is still only the li mited amounts of about 71. or 101. given to the indus trious labourers of good character, and I mention this to remind the committee against another year that last year [pledged myself to give 10/.—(Cheers.) I agree with Mr. Parkinson, that it is desirable to put an end to the injurious system which at present exists of six months' hirings. lam sure we all agree that it would be more beneficial to the state of the county if the servants should be hired for a much longer period, so that they might really have a home, and not be continual travellers as they are at present. A number of other toasts, customary on such occa• sions, followed, after which the company broke up. POLICE INTELLIGEN UE. CLERKENWELL. Mrs. Susan Keal, the wife of a gentleman residing at 27, Culford-road, Islington, was re-examined on the charge of haring caused the death of Mary Mar garet Ann Jones. Mr. Kohler conducted the defence. A daughter of the deceased bad been suddenly dis charged from the service of Mr. Keel, and the mother went to inquire the cause; and it is alleged that an altercation took place, and that the prisoner pushed her down a flight of steps into an area, where she re ceived injuries causing her death in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where an inquest was held on the body on Friday last ; but no verdict was arrived at, the jury and being di sc h arge d . disagreeing, TYRWIIITT observed that it was a melancholy and strange affair, which he should refer to a higher tribunal, and he committed the prisoner for trial at the Old Bailey. THAMES. A private in the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards was charged before Mr. Yardley with sending a scurrilous and threatenin g l etter to La d y D y k e, of Lullington Castle, Kent. Mr. Hayward, solicitor, of Dartford, appeared to prosecute. It appeared that the prisoner's wife had been wet nurse in Lady Dyke's servi ce f or f our or five months past. On the 9th ult. prisoner called at Lullington Castlel i aLd conducted himself in a most violent manner, and was n bliged to be removed b y t h e b utler. s ince then the prisoner had written letters to his wife and others, ant on the 29th ult. the one which formed the subject of this prosecution was received by Lady Dyke herself. Mr. Hayward handed the letter to the Magistrate. Mr. YARDLEY having perused it, sa id t h e letter was a long one, and had evidently been written under strong feelings. The principal threats were the following : .4 i f my wife is not bore soon there will be bloodshed, and, by Heaven, though I em a soldier, I will have re venge, though my life shall be the forfeit; I will get a brace of pistols and come for my wife, and then those that dar e t o keep h e r from me I will revenge on. " The remainder of the letter consisted of a tirade of abuse and invectives against Mrs. Chapman, the head nurse, Mrs. Martin, the housekeeper, and the butler who had removed him from the house. The prisoner in answer to the charge said he had done all he could during his wife's confinement to make her comfort a ble as far as his me ans a ll owe d , but he found that s he bad left the house, and accepted the situation of w 3 t-nurse _in Lady Eoyke's He wrote her several letters, but they w ere not an swered, and wishing to obtain information about his child, he went to Lullington Castle to see his wife, and directly he saw her he was forcibly e j ected by the butler and another man, and was s t ruc k b y the butler, who threatened to put him in the fish pond. He afterwards found the child was in the vil lage near the castle, and that it had been grossly neglected, its flesh being like raw beef, and if he had not removed it the poor little infant must have died. Mr. YARDLEY asked him where the child now was? The prisoner replied in Kent-street, Southwark ; and appealed to the magistrate to do him justice, and not allow him to be crushed by rich and titled people. Mr. YARDLEY said the prisoner should have jus tice done him, and in this country no rich or titled persons could oppress the poor man. The letter he had written was an improper one to be sent to any person, but if the prisoner's story was true, that he had been prevented seeing his wife by order of her mistress, and that his child wa s nearly starved to death, it would make a material difference in his de ciding the case. The prisoner was then remanded till Monday for the attendance of the wife and other witnesses from Kent, and also the child.

WEST CUMBERLAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY The annual meeting of this society took place at Whitehaven, on Thursday last. The show of stock, implements, and produce, was considered, in all re spects, satisfactory. After the show a dinner was held at the Globe Hotel, and was numerously attended. The Earl of Lonsdale was in the chair, supported by Captain Lowther and Mr. Irton, the members for West Cum berland, and other gentlemen. Mr. Brisco occupied the vice chair. The loyal toasts having been drunk, The Earl of LONSDALE then said, the next toast I have to propose is "The Army and Navy."—(Cheers.) There is an event that has recently occurred which I cannot on this occasion pass over in silence—it is a melancholy fact—the loss, the death of the Duke of Wellington. No country, I believe, has ever possessed a general who has attained to such a reputation and enjoyed such wide-extended confidence in his own country.—(Cheers.) The eyes, not only of England, but of Europe, have been upon him for the last half-century, owing to the very distinguished services which be has rendered in the East Indies up to the present time. His career has been not less re markable for the success which attended it than for the continued and ever increasing respect which it gave him, not only for his military but for his political services. He has rivalled all the generals that have ever passed in the history of the world. His skill and his prudence have been remarkable. With out the drawbacks and weaknesses of other great commanders, he has been the safeguard of the consti tution of England, and her protection from without. No one was more respected for his talent and deci sion of character. He raised himself to the most conspicuous position in spite of extraordinary diffi I - culties, and believe that his name will live among men as long as the history of this country is known on the earth.—(Cheers.) There can be no English man who does not heartily respect the memory of that eminent man who has so lately gone from among ns.—(Cheera.) Gentlemen, I beg leave to give you the " Army and Navy "—bearing in mind these re collections of the Duke of Wellington. The Noble Earl concluded by coupling the toast with the name of Dr. James Barry, army physician. Dr. BARRY responded for the army, and Captain PEW on behalf of the navy. Mr. IRTON, M.P., gave " The Health of the Earl of Lonedale, Lord Lieutenant of the County.— (Cheers.) On the present occasion they had to view him as an agriculturist. The great improvements he had effected on his land, particularly in the matter of draining, afforded a noble example to all parties in this country. The Earl of LONSDALE replied. He said—l feel flattered by the complimentary remarks of my friend Mr. Irton—flattered, indeed, that my health should be drunk as an agriculturist.—(Cheers.) With all respect for the Queen, whose commission I hold, I am very glad on an occasion like the present to be recog nised in an agricultural character. I felt something refreshing today in reviewing the show-field while looking at the stock, and also at some of the produce. A relief I assure you it was from the study of the dry details of the ocial papers I have had to super intend as regards the approach of the cholera and va rious matters of education. Agricultural matters I feel quite pleasing and refreshing.—(Cheers.) How ever, speaking of agriculture, I think we in the north of England have to think ourselves fortunate that our crops are considerably better or more profitable, or that there is nothirg to complain of as compared with results this year in the south. I understand that here the hay was an average crop, that there is nothing to complain of as regards the grain—that the turnips are very promising, and that the only cloud among us is as regards the potatoes. We have a great many fancies—a great deal said about agriculture at the present time. I do not mean to speak locally ; but generally throughout England, there are two classes of farmers—one class who trust to what nature will give them without much cultivation, and another composed of enthusiastic and fanciful expectants, who say that they will even grow turnips off a deal board. —(Laughter.) Between the two, however, there is a middle course to pursue, which is that of common sense.—(Cheers and continued laughter.) We all know that land responds and answers to a certain de• gree the pains of cultivation. If we duly assist nature she will be productive; and without entering into the visionary views of those persons who coincide with a rev. gentleman who stated that he could grow tur nips on a deal board, but which by the way was only applicable with his own manure—(Laughter)—.with• out entering into such views, I believe there is an intermediate course, and by exercising vigilance and assisting nature, by discharging the land of its cold, chilly water, and of its weeds—l believe that then a fair crop may be expected at a reasonable cost. Th. prurient course to pursue will be that of encouraging nature, and in this way encouraging the natural increase of fertility in the soil. The true science of developing the fertility of the soil is to assist nature, because we all have to come to nature at last.—(llear, hear.) In this part of the country, we cannot, perhaps, grow some kinds of grain—we can not grow some descriptions of white crops to the same advantage as they do in the southern counties. We have not the same force of the sun, and no art can give us that ; but we have, from the moisture of the soil, and likewise by the proper and efficient application of manure, the power of growing the best green crops in the United Kingdom.—(Cheers) I will be bound that, take ten miles of country about Whitehaven, and you will find that no ten miles of country in the king dom can show the same quality of green crops which I have seen here.—(Cheers.) Really, gentlemen, these are the products to be encouraged, for, under the circumstances in which we are placed it may not be so advantageous to grow wheat; bat if we look to the markets and consumption of the country—if we look to the exports of the country, there seems to be no limit to the demand for mutton and wool. There fore, though the farmer formerly gained by his wheat crops, there is at present an appearance that he may attain the same advantage by another road.—(Cheers.) I shall have other opportunities of saying something upon other subjects, and shall only now return you my thanks for the honour you have done me in drink ing my health as lord-lieutenant of the county, as an agriculturist, on the present occasion.—(Applause.) The Earl of LONSDALE then gave "The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese."—(Cheers.) The Rev. Canon PauxiNsorr, in returning thanks, assured the meeting of the interest which the clergy felt in the prosperity of agriculture. He condemned the practice of the half-yearly hiring of male and female servants, and recommended the adoption of the system of a month's warning or a month's wages, The VICE CHAIRMAN proposed "The Health of the Members for the Western Division of the County." The east bad chosen Free-traders, and the west had returned Protectionists. This difference he attributed to the difference in the soil of the two divisions. The east was much better adapted for the heavy produc tion of wheat at less cost than the west. The west was best adapted for barley, grass, and turnip culti vation. He gave " The Members for West Cum berland.—(Cheers.) Captain LOWTHER, M.P., briefly acknowledged the compliment. Mr. Lame, M.P., in returning thanks, remarked that in many parts of this country the cultivation of wheat was more general than beneficial. In many cases where a crop of wheat was taken it would be much better if a crop of oats succeeded. We had here a less portion of sun, and could not produce that quantity of wheat which they did in the south.— (Hear.) Then there existed a too extensive use of guano. Nobody had benefited more from guano than he had, but he was afraid that its application was, generally speaking, too extensive. He recommended that guano should be used mixed with farmyard ma nure, Mr. Brisco had been kind enough to propose his health as a Protectionist.—(Hear.) He would be sorry on such an occasion to enter on any political question. He knew not what proposition, if any, the Government might intend to make for the relief of agriculture.—(Hear.) Of this, however, he had now a very strong opinion, that in the feeling and temper of the present times, it was not expedient for Government to propose such a duty as would, from its amount, prove of beneficial effect to the farmers in general. The Earl of LONIDALE—I have now another toast to give, and after that we shall enter on the business of the evening. The list of awards will then be read. From my experience at these meetings. I find it has been customary to drink " Success to the West Cumber land Agricultural Society."—(Cheers.) In pro posing that toast, it is usual to make some introduc • tory observations. In reading over the account of what took place at Carlisle and in Penrith, I think that these have been two most instructive meetings, as to the truth of what was asserted at those places.— (Hear, hear.) There were certainly two eminent and distinguished men at Carlisle—the Earl of Car lisle and Sir James Grabatn.—(Cheers.) The policy of draining and of deep draining was fully admitted by the Earl of Carlisle, who employs the same engi neer that I do—namely, Mr. Parkes, for as to drain ing, it is only an engineer that understands it. And Sir James Graham avowed that he had begun as a shallow drainer—(Laughter)—but he thinks from experience, that the deeper draining is the only draining that will do. In matters of improvement. the first attack comes from the neighbours of the par ties improving. Your improvements are always looked at by them on the black side. After the avowal of the Earl of Carlisle and Sir James Gra ham as to the effects of deep draining, I look at the question as settled. After all the little spites, and criticisms, and old fashions, your eighteen inch draining is all banished—all buried in oblivion. —(Cheers and laughter.) Drains of two feet and two feet three and three feet, have had their day. The figures have gradually gone up step by step, and I think that hereafter drains of from four to six feet DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. A serious fire broke out last night (Sunday), about seven o'clock, in Spitalfields. The scene of the disaster was a large space of ground, whereon was erected a number of houses forming Bell-lane, Cocks'-square, Petticoat-lane, and other thoroughfares leading into Bishopgate. Amongst the more promiment buildings were the Jews Free School and premises belonging to Mr. Dimsdale, a builder and contractor. The last-named were unfortunately doomed to destruction. The premises of Mr. Dimsdale occupied a considerable space, the carpenters' workshops alone being 250 feet in depth. The steam-sawing department was almost as large, whilst sundry piles of timber filled a large yard. Owing to the number of courts and narrow streets which surrounded this property it soon be came apparent that unless the fire could be subdued in its incipient stage, many thousand pounds' worth of property would be destroyed. Police constable 51 II was the first to make the discovery, at which time one rack or pile of timber only was on fire on the eastern side of the yard, nearest some paint and turpentine stores. Mr. Superintendent Stead, of the H division. with Inspectors Miller and Black, and Sergeants Price, German, and Foay, together with a strong body of police, soon arrived, and took possession of the approaches to the blazing premises. The crowd, however, was so great that they had con siderable difficulty to clear the streot, a number of persons were thrown down, and two or three trampled on by the mob. Tile engines of the London brigade, parish, and West of England office arrived at the spot with all possible expedition, when the firemen found the whole of the carpenters' shops, joiners' houses, steam-boiler house, and the saw-mills, i n Mmes. The first thing sought to be accomplished was to direct the water from the engines against an immense pile of deals and veneers standing perpendicularly in stacks against the steam-engine house, and extending to within a few feet of the Jews' Free School. For some time the labours of the firemen appeared to be crowned with success, but the wind suddenly shifting, drove the flames into the middle of the timber, and the whole became wrapped in flames. Suddenly the railings that bound the whole together gave way, and timbers toppled over in a thorough state of ignition ; and about the same time one of the lofty walls fell. Every one at that period looked upon the ecene with dismay; for an extensive building belonging to Truman and llanbury, the brewers (formerly a sugar house), and which contained a vast number of pockets of hops, became fired at the end overlooking the blearing timber. A large number of houses faced this structure in the front street, and it was apparent that if the contents of this establishment caught fire, the houses opposite would share in the ruin; but a number of persons very courageously entered, and having thrown the principal portion of the stock out, the same was carted to a place of safety. Whilst the fire was at its height it became known that several draught horses belonging to Mr. Dims dale were in the stable, which was so surrounded by the flames that no one could enter by the regular way. Wood, the conductor of the Royal Society's fire escape, and Sergeant Price, having cut a thick wall away, they were enabled, under the direction of Mr. Boddilly, the inspector of the society, to save the lives of the whole of the animals, which were of consider able value. By half-past eleven o'clock the firemen had suc ceeded in obtaining control over the conflagration, as far as any further extension was concerned, but there seemed no chance of its being entirely subdued for some hours longer. The loss will amount to several thousands pounds. Independently of the destruction of Mr. Dimsdale's premises, many of the contiguous houses are da- maged. Mr. Dimsdale was insured, but not to the extent of his loss. ONE O'CLOCK, A.M.-At this hour the fire is far from being extinguished, there being no fewer than nine engines of the brigade, and that of the West of England at work. Several boys and a man named Tomkins are very much injured by being thrown down and trampled on by the crowd, but from the inquiries made by the officials of the brigade, it ap pears that none of the firemen had been killed, as was at one period anticipated. Many of the oc cupants of the houses in the surrounding streets are serious losers by the hasty removal of their fur niture, &c. Last night whilst the fire was raging in Spitalfields, another, which was attended with considerable damage, broke out in the premises of Mr. Lewin, dairy and butterman, situate in the New North Road, Islington ' near the North Pole tavern. The flames were not discovered until they had obtained a firm hold of the building. The necessary alarm having been given the various engines of the London bri gade and West of England office attended, and a good supply of water having been obtained, the engines were set to wurk but tiro firomen were uuthblo to get the flames subdued until some hundred pounds worth of property was destroyed. The origin of the mis fortune could not be ascertained • but, fortunately, the sufferer was insured in the Union-office. The adjoining houses sustained some damage, but not to a serious extent. Last night (Sunday), whilst the fire was raging in Spitalfields, a fearful explosion occurred on the pre mises of Mr. Holyhead, a firework maker, situate in Long-alley, Eldon-street, Finsbury. It appears that a number of boys and men have been engaged for several days preparing a quantity of fireworks, to complete a large order for Guy Fawkes day next. During the night, whilst one of the hands was filling a squib case it exploded, and the sparks falling on a quantity of gunpowder, the latter also exploded with a fearful noise, and the heap of composition placed for the use of another was likewise blown up, and in an instant the room became filled with flame, and three persons, who were unable to escape, were completely pros trated. The cries of the unfortunate individuals were pitiable in the extreme, but owing to the fury with which the fire was raging it was with considerable difficulty that any one could enter. Some one, how ever, more courageous than the others rushed into the apartment in question, and succeeded in throwing one of the lads out of window, and at the same time another jumped out with his clothes on fire ; and a third was, it is understood, also thrown out. The poor creatures were immediately collected together and removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Every thing was done for them that surgical skill could de vise, but upon inquiring at the hospital at half-past two this morning we were informed that one of the sufferers, viz., John Howard, had expired, and that Cornelius Conolly, another of the workmen, together with the persona who jumped out of window, were not expected to survive the night. The moment the alarm was given information was sent for the engines, and forthwith those of the brigade and parish attended ; and owing to the exertion of the police and neigh bours the fire was subdued, but not until considerable damage was done to the building and its contents. It is understood that neither the premises nor their contents were insured. THE COUNTR Y MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 2.—Holders of flour are firm to•dsy, but no change in prices. MANCHESTER, ()CT. 2.—The demand for flour during the week has been languid; but for oatmeal of choice quality a steady consumptive sale has been experienced, and while the value of the former has rather tended downwards, that of the latter was firmly maintained. Into Liverpool and Runcora the chief arrivals from Ire land consist of about 3,000 quarters of oats and 6,700 loads of oatmeal; and from abroad of fair supplies of wheat, beans and flour. Our market this morning was of an inactive character, and both wheat and flour must be noted the turn in favour of buyers. Oats and oatmeal were in fair demand at the full currency of this day se'nnight. par ticularly a s r NOTTINGHAM, OCT. 2.—A considerable quantity of grain has this week been brought forward in most of our local markets, but without depre ssi ng the price of l any oy article.and beans O On haveth e c o o s n o t h r a r gn y e , eralysoldt wheat l is fir m : whil about quarter more money. The de mand f or barley is just now very considerable, for the pu r p os es of malt i ng , at the famous malting town of Newark, Not tingham, Rotford, and Worksop also require considerable supplies. Yesterday, at Derby, there was a plentiful supply of wheat, but an insufficient show of barley. The former sold slowly at late rates, and the latter was dis posed of readily and at previous prices. Beans, old and now, were in ready request, at Is a quarter more money, There was no other change. Wheat, red, 40s to 435; new, 38s to 425; white, 46s to 488; now, 428 to 445 per 36 stone. Barley, for malting, 29s to 33s imperial measure; for grinding, 27s to 29s per 30 stone. Oats. old, 21s to 24s per 24 stone; new, 18s to 221. Beans, old, 38s to 41s per 38 stone; now, 33s to 355.

Our great fair commencing to-day, we have had at the Not tingham Corn-Exchange a very full attendance, and a numerous show of samples, particularly of wheat and barley. The price of wheat was we ll maintained ; line malting barl e y was f u lly i s a quarter dearer. Oats and beans kept up to their former value. WORCESTER, OCT. 2.--English now wheat was of fered a t 14 s t o 14a 6,1 per bag of three bushels. Old maintains former rates. Malting barley is saleable at 44 per bushel for good qualities. Other grain nominally as last week. At Stourbridge market, on Friday, there was a good attendance of both farmers and millers. Old English wheat sold at 4s 4d to 4s 8d per bushel, and new 33 9d to 4Q 2d per bushel. Barley averages 3s 9d to 4s 3(1 per bushel. Oats, 3s 4d per bushel, and dull of sale. Beans about 4s 3d to 43 6d, and peas 4s 9d to 5s 3d per im perial bushel. At Stratford-on-Avon market, on Friday, there was only a limited supply of grain. Best old English wheat was 15s to 16s per bag, and new, 13s to 14s, with an average business done. In barley there was more doing, prices 26s to 30s per quarter, according to quality. No alteration in oats or peas. Good old beans, 14s to 14s 6d, and new 12a 6d to 13s per bag of three bushels. At Wolverhampton there was a moderate supply of wheat, and both old and new brought the rates of the previous market-day. Old English white, 5s 8d to 6s per 621 b, and red, 5a 4d to 58 Gd; new, 4s to 5. per 621 b. Malting barley found purchasers at former rates, 28s to 323 per imperial qaarter.

CORK, OCT. 1 The native produce daily sent to market is generally in good condition, and the respective qualities of wheat, barley, and oats, aro quite an average —the prices of wheat and oats have both advanced on the week, and barley fully maintained its price —the week's receipts comprise -2,471 barls wheat, 17s 6d to 225, average 20a 3d; 7,234 barls barley, Ils to 11s Bd, average 11s 6d; 301 barls bere, average 104; 17,324 barls oats, 8s 4d to 9s 2d, average 8s 6d. The price of prepared oats free on board being above the ideas of buyers, there have been no sales this week, but after the completion of the sales for the past month, there may be a slight reaction, particularly if our deliveries increase during the present month. The barley trade seems pretty much confined to the distillers and brewers, although there is some in. quiry for grinding lots from the other side of the channel. The foreign wheat trade continues very firm, and consi derable sales have been made since our last, fully a previous rates—and the general feeling seems to be, the prices will not go lower. Indian corn in rather better demand at last rs eek's rates, say 71 2s 6d for Galata, and 71 per ton for Ibrail. During the week 8,800 pas maize, and 5,500 qrs wheat have been entered for Cork. A very small portion of the large fleet has remained here, the majorities of the cargoes having been sold before arrival. Since this day se'nnight the arrival at Queens town were 63 maize, and 22 wheat, and the mailings 39 of maize and 11 wheat. There is no doubt from the - very short turn out of the late potato crop, and the high prices maintained in the market, that the consumption of Indian corn and coarse flour will, this corning winter, prove a very large item.
