TRIAL of the FRENCH REGICIDE. COURT OF PEERS.—THIRD DAY. SITTING OF AUGUST 27. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) The Court assembled at eleven o'clock, and proceeded at once to deliberate with closed doors on the charges against the prisoner. The Court remained in consulta tion the whole day. As the hours passed over and no decision was come to, great anxiety was manifested by the crowd assembled outside. A little after six o'clock the doors were opened to the public. M. Baroche, the prisoner's counsel, was in his place, but the prisoner himself was not present. After the appel nominal had been made, The President rose, and, in the midst of the deepest silence, read the following verdict:— " Whereas Joseph Henry is proved to have attempted to kill the King on the evening of the 29th of July last —a crime provided for by Arts. 86 and 88 of the Penal Code—and whereas the punishment is to be graduated in proportion to the circumstances and nature of the crime, according to Arts. 7, 18, and 30 of the Penal Code, which declares the peines affliciives et infamantes to be-Ist, death; 2d, hard labour at the hulks for life; 3d, banishment; and 4th, solitary confinement; the Court condemns Joseph Henry to hard labour for life." The Court then separated. The ceremony of laying the first stone of the viaduc of the Liverpool and Bury Railway was performed on - Satur day last.

The half-yearly gene* meeting of the proprietors of the above railway was advertised to be held at one o'clock yester day, in the offices of theCotnpany, 84, Ilasingball-street, but, oae. owing to the meagre attendance of members, the business was not proceeded witli until half-past Mr. Esdaile was called t o th e c h a i r. • The advertisement having been read, The S:EH CETAILY precef dell to read a report, from which it appeared that the dire:tors had succeeded in obtaining a re newal of their Act for iiVe years longer. The report was unanimously adopted. Resolutions were then passed confirming the forfeiture of shares previously declared, and voting 25 shares to each of the directors, as a renumeration fur the time and exertion re quired by the Company. - Thanks having been awarded to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. SOUTH ISIIDLANDS and JUNCTION - - - RAILWAY COMPANY. Y'esterdav a meeting, called by requisition, was held in the Guildhall Coffee-house, at one o'clock, for the purpose of determining whether the Company should or should not be dissolved under the Act 9th and 10th Victoria. Major Morse Cooper, the Chairman of the Company, presided. The advertisement having been read, The CHAIRMAN said the first business before them was to elect three scrutineers. That done, they could then proceed to what was really the da3's business. Captain TYNDALE proposed, and Mr. HADLow seconded, the election of Messrs. Yates, Spence, and Webb, respective holders of 300, 350, and 400 shares.—.Agr.-ed to. The Cu - AIRMAN said it might be" h e recollection of many 1. present,.lsat at the meeting held OR' 13 .4011 of May last, it was decided (he almost say4tideniztiously) that that Company should dissolve, and that decision the directors had in the most prompt and energetic manner acted upon. They proceeded at once to get the money which was deposited in the Accountant-General's hands, and they were on the point of obtaining it, when Mr. Kensington Lewis and Mr. Gilbert applied "for, and obtained an injunction from the Lord Chancellor. The directors, under these circumstances, Could not help themselves; they however took measures, 'and that decision was reversed. They subsequently.obtained possession of the-money, and they were disposed, ney deter mined to give it up at the earlieit moment and to the fullest extent—(Cheers)—that -events admitted 4n 24 hdurs at least- 7 (Continued ,cheering;—but these ; gentlemen- threw every impediment in the way of the directors—(Cries of " Shame ')—:doubtless for their own purposes; in feet there was a letter which could be produced-; to show that private interests and not the interests of the shareholders had dictated 'this cenduct.—(lrear.) But he (the Chairman) did not wish to dwell lupon that subject: The roultathe proceedings alluded to had, be was sorry to say, increased their legal expenses, but; di the 'Matter now stood,.they could not remedy that, however they might de-. lore it.-:411Oar; heir.) They were met that day for a dis- j tinct purpose; the shareholders could only ascertain from the' Abt what - 61.0 r duties were; the directors knew what they w+re-tilled upon to do, and he (the Chairman) was aware . watwas ,expected front himself. He would now, with the leave of the meeting, give an abstract of their financial posi: an. The finances were much the same as at last meeting, wb efi 7 he had the honour of addressing them. Their expenses, hOwevelvwere as he had already stated, somewhat increased b}• :the 'proceedings of Messrs. Lewis, Crane, and Gilbert. First of all there were the receipts, 97,3001.' ; expenses for eugineering i &e.,oooo/.; legatcharges and local agents, &e., 7 1 700/. ; ;. aet.vert4tements, printing, &a., 2,300/. • mapphig, engraving plans,. &,., 5,900/. ; making, in round numbers, 20,9001. They proposed, therefore, that immediate' distri hution of lbe sum of 63,73111., being 1/: 7s. 6d. to.eitch.share on - 16,36Abares, should be made. Thli . .woulcrshow still a balanc,ein favour of the Company of 12,876/. Of this sum, 8,0040. had 'been handed over to the 7Manchester and SGWWmpton Company, but that money was now ip--,::•-the hands of Ihe . :,. i bankers, under an order _trout the Court of Chkiscery. There also remained 4,876/. for liibilisies due to Them, but the directors had still some claims upon them by different persons—Mr. Higgins, their etwiner, for instance ; three surveyors who were em ployed by i ' him ; Mr. Crane, for a return of deposits ;: and Mr. 'lassie, of Glisgow, for brokerage. Mr. Sykes, he was-happy to inform them, had failed iu the action which he had brought against hiM' (Major Cooper) as Chairman of the Company, for mots due to him by Mr. Higgins. It -now only re mained for him to remind them, that in consequence of the requisition sent to him by Mr. Kensington Lewis and others the meting was called on to decide whether or no the Com pany..should dissolve, and whether that should be by act of bankruptcy or otherwise. lie might tio allowed to add, , that many gentleman had sent in claims for 1/. 7s. 6d. per share, !which,ivpuld ,ere that time have been given butler the in terference of the gentlemetOie had already mentioned. - As goon es the - decision of that . meeting should be published, the directors were ready to'pay,. as the cheques were already filled up.— (Chers.) . I Ml. Iticumui COYNE bEaCOHIR to that meeting determined to' support an honest and honourable .board of directop ;against an uncalled-for interference; but yet he could not -conceal his dissatisfaction at the very large amount set down 'for legal expenses. He thought that, before this item was settled, it aliritilti be taxed bu,the Master. Mr. ll,txroN (a director) said the solicitor was the first to • suggest tearit-sbeekt b. - scerwarPß.-v--- q uire; abide by the decision which might be then come to. The CHAIRMAN said that the solicitor's own charges were 3,7001., the remaining 4,3001. being for local agents. Mr. KENSINGTON LEWIS asked if the meeting was pre pared to grant the directors an absolute release in the condi tions specified? Mr. JAMES (solicitor) explained that the directors did not seek an absolute release. The shareholders would still be entitled to a division in such funds as might remain after the first amount had been paid. Mr. DUTTON said that not one member of that board had made one halfpenny. They had been misled by their engi neer from beginning to end.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SPACKMAN was desirous of saying one word. He was himself a small shareholder, but independently of that he represented persons, respectable parties from Scotland, holding to the extent of above a thousand shares. An attempt had been made to cast aspersionson the motives of those who had signed the requisition, but he thought these motives could be easily explained. They could not dissolve the co-partnership which then existed between the shareholders, excepting under Lord Dalhousie's Act, and therefore it was that the requisitionists called that meeting.—(Hear, hear.) He disclaimed all• inten tion of wishing to impute improper or dishonourable motives to the members of the board of direction, but he had been instructed by his constituents to this course, for they well knew that no other dissolution would be legal or bind ing.—(Hear, hear.) They were now, however, ready to take the 11. 75. 6d., more especially as Mr. James had informed them that this did not infer an absolute release. Mr. R. FISHER moved, and Mr. K. Lewis seconded a re solution, " That this Company be now dissolved."—Carried unanimously. Mr. R. COYNE moved, and Mr. WEBB seconded a resolu tion, " That the vote of dissolution shall not be taken to be an act of bankruptcy."—Also carried. Mr. KENSINGTON LEWIS then disclaimed any and every intention of throwing any imputation upon either the chair man or directors of the Company. The CHAIRMAN-Why, this gentleman, who speaks so kindly, went to the Court of Chancery, and there deposed on oath iat I went out of the country to avoid my creditors, he knowing at the time that the fact was not so, and yet he states on his belief that I left the country for this purpose. Mr. K. LEWIS was now aware that the chairman was not out of the country to avoid any action ; but he bad men tioned his name with fifteen more, and in two cases out of three he was right. After a rather warm altercation, in which, occasionally, more than three or four voices joined, the scrutineers pro ceeded to take the votes, when there being more present than required by the Act, the Company was declared dissolved, and not by act of bankruptcy. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, the directors and the scrutineers, which having been responded to, the meeting separated. MEETING OF THE SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY COMPANY. PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 30.—Yesterday afternoon the fifth half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the above Company took place at Elliott's Royal Hotel, Ply mouth. Many of the shareholders having felt great interest respecting the report, more particularly as to the further opening of the line and the use of atmospheric power, for which the line is laid down, the attendance was very great. Shortly after four o'clock, T. Gill, Esq., M.P., (chair man of the directors) took the chair, and the advertise ment convening the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN read the following report : " The capital accounts of the half-year, ending June 30, are submitted to you in the usual form. "In the accounts of the preceding period, the total amount of receipts and disbursements are stated to have been as follows : Receipts. Payments. £560,998 19 0 £520,942 1 10 " And during the six months ending 30th of June, the receipts and payments have been "Leaving a balance in parliamentary de posits, investments on security, and in cash 199,172 12 2 X 978,149 9 0 £978,149 9 0 " The first traffic accounts of the company are also placed before you. They include a period of 32 days, from the opening of the line on the 29th of May to the 30th of June— During which time the receipts were £2,514 1 4 And the payments 1,247 14 3 Leaving a balance in favour of the traffic account of " Your directors have to report to you the result of the several applications to Parliament in which this company has been directly interested during the session which has just closed. " The Cornwall Railway has at length received the sanction of Parliament, and the advantages which may be expected from that line in its connexion with the South Devon Railway are too obvious to require more particular explanation. " The North Devon Railway has been less fortunate, and the failure of this scheme is the more to be regretted from its having involved also the loss of the Launceston and South Devon Railway, and of the Tavistock branch of the South Devon line. " lu the course of the parliamentary struggle to pro mote these objects, considerable expense has unavoidably been incurred ; but your directors have the satisfaction to believe, that it has not been without beneficial results. Projects. of a competing character have thus been de feated which, if unopposed, Must certainly have suc ceeded, and would have proved greatly prejudicial to the interests of this company. / " A branch from Aller, near Newton to Torquay, has %been granted by Parliament ; and your directors are so fully impressed with its importance, that every exertion will be made to effect an early openine., and active ope rations have - already_ been commenced upon the line. The Committee of the House of Lords refused to sanc tion this branch beyond Torquay, but your directors still propose, during the next session, to apply for its further extension. "The projected alterations and extensions of the line at Plymouth have now received the Royal assent, and wil!, without loss of time, be carried into effect ; a nd in consequence of the altered direction of the Cornwall line, which will cross the Tamar at Saltash, your di tctors contemplate forming a junction with that rail way by extending the South Devon line to Devotiport. " A Bill has been obtained by the Ashburton, New ton, and South Devon Company, for a line from Ash burton to Newton, which it is expected will oparate as a useful feeder to the South I)evou Railway. "The application to Parliament by the Exeter, Tops horn, and Exmouth Company, for a line from Exmouth which was intended to have joined the South Devon Railway, near the Countess Weir-bridge, has proved unsuccessful. " Your directors have now to state that they are at present receiving money on debenture at 4/ per cent. and that with further realisations from this source, added to the funds already at their disposal, they have reason to believe no very early necessity will arise for exercising those powers to raise the additional capital which the various Acts of Parliament obtained during the past session, have authorised for carrying out the several objects proposed. " You will be pleased to learn from the report of the Engineer to which you are referred for particulars of the state and progress of the works, that he contem plates applying the atmospheric system to experimental purposes on some portion of the line at an early period. " Notwithstanding delays which their utmost exer tions have been unable. to prevent, and which have been a source of disappointrpent to the proprietary, and of vexation to themselves, it is with pleasure that yout• directors congratulate - you upon' the opening of the line us far as Teigrimuth,-cm the 30th of . May, and upon the extent pf traffic which has hitherto attended its . working. This has indeed far *ei . ceeded their expeeta-• don, the - number of passengers for the twelve .Weeki ending the 21st' inst.- having averaged upwards of 10,000 weekly; and the weekly receipts nearly 6001.—an amount which,- notwithstanding the dispropOrtionate expense inciderit to a short and unfinished line, worked by a locomotive power, under merely temporary.arrange ; ments, seems fully tb jiistify tile:Most siurgaine estimate• of, future pcbfit and success. -- • . • - , /(Signed) • ":TitOs. GILL, Chairman." Imm,ediately after the readin g of the above report, the following was read . ENGINEER'S REPORT. . " Dake-street, August 15, 1846. •"-Gentlemen,—Sinee last - . report the railway has been opened to Teignmouth, being woiked with loco: motive power. " The protracted delays in the completion of the enh• gine-houses and machinery, rendered it improbable that the atmospheric apparatus could be brought into opera tion within such !a - moderate delay as would justify the pestponement of the opening The working with loco motives has bCen highly satisfactory, and hold out. a fair promise of the line running remarkably smoothly and , perfectly, when the absence of the locomotive.engines shall admit'of more perfect and easy maintenance of cor rectness in the 'ails. . "jhe Works upon this portion of the line are in ex.- cellerit condition. The'conapletion of the line to Newton his been (as frequently mentioned) hitherto delayed for Want of Par • liamentary power over a small piece of land. The'"Act. has passed, brit has not .Yet received the ,royal 'assent, and we were insured possession, of. the ground-only a. week or two back, so as to allow of the progress of the worki. X ,cOntiderable quantity of . earthwork,' arid the bridges over Die canal and the river Teign; as well as all the works of .the itation.at Newton,- remained to be , cons pleted, and depended upon the direction of the line: 1 Every arrangement has been made to open arid pro ceed with the works:sis rapidly as possible. : • "'I have also made arrangementsfor commencing and , proceeding with the corstrucdon of the line to Torquay, that very valuable branch for: which the Atit has just been obtained, and With a moderately favodrable winter, I believe thrs.branch might be completed, so far as the works are concerned, within three or four-months after the opening to Newton. With respect to the line beyond Newton to Colebrook, I have only to report that the works 'are very nearly 'completed, and that they might indied bd ready for that entire distance to receive the permanassaa-way by the end .4 , 04 t-,4traA0... , ... "Between Colebrook an - ation, some b.,' Loon 011 1 , 1 the - al. 0 ascertain the result of the application to Parliameficror deviation. And still greater delay has occurred iu pro curing the land, the greater part of which we have still to get possession of. " With respect to the machinery and apparatus con nected with the atmospheric system, I am obliged still to report a very slow progress. The pipes are all cast, and are laid nearly all the way to Newton, or at least as far as the permanent way is completed, and the valve is ready to be fixed; but the engines are not ready and cannot be yet for some weeks. The delay is unquestion ably very much to be regretted; but it has not been entirely without its advantages. Considerable experi ence has been obtained in the successful working of the Cro;don Railway, and still more in the temporary stop page which occurred in the working of that line during part of the very hot weather of this summer—a difficulty which had been occasionally threatened was experienced —the heat passed the point of temperature at which the composition then used was fit for the work; but this difficulty was, after some failures, overcome, and, as frequently results from the successful removal of a diffi culty, a very great general improvement has been effected in the working of the valve; and the inconve nience, annoyance, and loss occasioned by the stoppages, has been more than repaid by that general improvement. " One of our engines has already been put to work; the completion of others will shortly follow, and in a few weeks we shall at least be able to run trains, though perhaps not entirely dispensing with the locomotive; and I feel convinced that the result will repay you for the anxiety of waiting—while in the meantime the line is well worked, and the traffic developed by the use of the locomotive. "I am, gentlemen, " Your obedient servant, " I'. K. BRUNEL. " To the Directors of the South Devon Railway Company." SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS TO JUNE 30, 1846.

He begged to inquire when the tine would be opened to Newton, and also where the PlymoUth terminus would be situated, in the altered position of the Cornwall line. The CHAIRMAN. replied, that the directors were afraid to commit themselves to dates. Neither the engineer, nor still less the directors, were able to state positively when the line would be opened to Newton, as so much depended upon circumstances over which they had no control. Their expectation, however, was that the opening would take place in the early part of November. They were now happily in possession of the disputed land, which had been the cause of detention, and having put a large number of men to work, they hoied to open within the time mentioned. The permanent way was indeed laid, almost up to the very point. With respect to the other question put by Mr. Fox, he might state that there would be no alteration whatever as to the site of the Plymouth terminus, in consequence of the altered position of the Cornwalfline. Mr. Gill then proceeded to remark upon what had occurred in Par liament during the last session, in reference to those schemes in which that company was interested. He spoke of the alterations which had been made in the case of the Cornwall line, which would now be carried across a bridge at Saltash, in consequence of which the South Devon trunk line would be brought much nearer to Devonport than it would otherwise have been. Such a curve would be given to the line as would bring it to a point near the-spot where the Royal British Female Orphan Asylum, erected at Stoke, now stood. They hid unfortunately lost -a useful feeder in the Tavistock branch, but thet - bacured the kcal branches as well as one to Torqt, --- which :they regarded as most important. The branches to Sutton Pool and Milbay ' would be opened as soon as the main line to Plymouth. The North Devon Railway scheme, in which they were in terested, had proved unsuccessful, owing to an im*fec don in their planh occasioned by the sudden, and very severe illness of a gentleman engaged by Mr. Brunel to survey alai:alien of the-line. With respect to the in terest whicli, they had taken in pertain of• the schemes which • hicifalhid, the hole object of -the directors had 'been to ptoneote the interests. of their own company; and . :to preterit - the carrying out of other chimerical yrojects, which, whilst they would be ruinous to the parties More" immediately interested, would 'also have prejudiced the. interests of -the •South Devon line.: The speaker then. referred to thegreat amount of traffic upon the line since the opening eo Teignmouth, and which was altogether' beyond their most sanguine expectations. He had also• pleasure in Statifig, that they had agreed with all the landowners'ern ttedine to Plymouth, up as far as Mutley. Plain, and quit there was no impediment to the opening to this town, which would pace as soon as the road could be forroed,"which would he thought be about the same time Oat the remainder of the engines required were made; One-half of which the contractors, Messrs. Bolton and Watts, had agreed to complete within six months, alai the other half within nine months. - Mr. Arevestsi of 'Lotion, congratulated the pro prietors .ien the success: which the traffic returns proved would attend the. undertaking—an amount of traffic, he was informed and believed, unparalleled. It would 'be recollilcted tHat it was a • traffic de rived solely from passengers:; and he believed most sincerely, that when the connexion between Exeter and Plymouth by railway was completed, that the traffic would exceed the expectation of:the most sanguine pro prietor. Abetter line could not have been - deo:Sere, or, one which hid less cause of fear &in competition: That led him to congratulate the proprietors on .the want of success that had 'attended their proceedings in-Parlia ment. They were 'at least premature. •It . was. folly to: seek to endeavour to extend their_ works, when they ivern struggling to complete that for which they were first 'associated. The time for extension of works - hed . not arrived. Finish what you haie done—direct your energies to that eri'd. Let not your Executive fritter its time •aseay 'in:Parliament, consuming the calls wrung from the proprietors in vain endeavours to extend a line already too great for the powers of the company. He would recerninend them to finish what they had first undertaken, and then consider whether any further ex tension of 'their works was desirable for the benefit of themselves and of the public; for whose interest the concession of the line had been made to them, ,and with - Whose 'interests their oven were inseparable. Such coiiduet would at a proper time ensure success He hod at ehe last meeting pointed out the rashness of ,theirprOceedings in this respect; he„ believed that they hal — originated 'in times when a sort df furor seemed to pervade the railway world, and in which they had nearly all sharedhe hoped never to see the like again. In the conduct of the affairs of the company much time had been - lest, and he would not cause further delay. Oaitherwie4e-aveulel lease moved as an amendment, that Wno but how much of each work remained to be done, dis- anguishing the species of each work, earth work, &c. Every proprietor then would be able to ascertain when he might reasonably expect the completion of the works, He observed that the Company had raised the sum of 252,300/. on their debentures. He trusted that the di reetors would use every mideavour to complete the sum which they were authorised by their Act of Parliament to raise—that they would disregard the consideration of whether they were to pay one-half per cent. more or less, which was a consideration unworthy of a great undertaking and a great object, when their loan would be temporary, and if taken from the proprietors by call, must be raised at 51. per cent. This would have the effect of preventing further calls, unless for the payment of debentures, which, cast over a series of years, would fall light on the proprietors, and would come in happier times, and not when they were weakened by unparalleled calls. He begged the directors not to be deceived by the reduction of rate of interest made by the Bank of Eng • land ; it would not affect theirs—there was too much railway stock. His suggestion would involve, not injus tice, for any proprietor, more fortunate than himself, might advance his upaid :call to the Company, or take up debentures to that amount. He observed that the working expenses were nearly 50 per cent. on the amount of the receipts; he assumed that the ratio of these expenses would be materially reduced on the further opening of the railway. He observed also that a sum of about 15,0001. had been advanced in respect of the projects in Parliament. He was desirous of being informed whether they did not constitute a part of the assets, and whether any further undertaking would be attempted without the direct sanction of the proprietors. The CHAIRMAN stated that the 15,0001. did form part of the assets, and that no further proceedings for exten sions would be taken without the direct concurrence of the proprietors. Mr. D. DERRY said the central line was the madest scheme which man's brain ever devised, and expressed it has his opinion that it would never have received the support which it had from many persons in this neigh bourhood, but for the apprehension that, as great delay had already occurred in the construction of the South Devon line, some years might elapse before it would be actually brought to completion. He hoped the works would be pressed on with vigour. 'The CHAIRMAN stated, in answer to questions put to him, that the directors had no intention of prosecuting the Dartmouth branch, but they were pledged to carry out a branch to Brixham. They would also probably open the South Devon line to Totness, with the use of locomotive power, very soon after the opening to New ton, should Mr. Brunel recommend them to do so. After that, the next step taken would be to open the line to Plymouth with the use of the atmo:pheric prin ciple. Mr. SAMUDA, the patentee of the atmospheric system of traction, next addressed the meeting. He stated that since the early part of July a new description of compo sition bad been employed to secure the valves upon the Croydon line, and the result had been most successful. The trains had since then been running uninterruptedly, to the number of forty daily, so that the temporary stop page which took place some time since had really proved a very great benefit rather than otherwise. Upon the South Devon line, stationary engines of 100-horse power would be placed every three miles, the cost of steam power with this system being about 6d. per mile per train daily, supposing the number of trains to be 40. The cost of locomotive power would in every respeat be infinitely greater—he might say double. The triumphant success of the atmospheric principle was in fact now put beyond all question. The report of the directors was then unanimously adopted. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

STOCK EXCNANOT.—Prices were declining in the early part of the week, and a general dulness pervaded the trade, but flue harvest weather on Wednesday and Thursday caused a little be' ter demand for shares, which was materially increased on the receipt of the in - telligence of the reduction of the minimum rate of discount by tia- Bank of Eng:and to three per cent. This measure has been ex pected for some time, and various rumours have been circulated re• specting it ; but the declaration, at this time, by the directors of the Bank, Is considered to evince " a confidence in the present state ot the money market, and a belief that the monetary crisis which many have anticipated, is not now at hand." higher prices fir shares have been generally realised, and a favourable feeling for fur ther advances is entertained ; yet there is not so much speeulatioi: afloat as during the late fluctuations. The advances are modern te and steady, and therefore wear a more healthy appearance thai , when sadden variations of considerable extent occur in spurts. :\ continuance of favourable weather would give additional force to the other causes of improvement.

POTATO FAILURE IN DORSET- SHIRE. YEOVIL, AUG. 26.--Otisinquiry into this alarming disease brought us to YcOvil, a large and important place of business, with a considerable market twice each week: Here we found the potatoes for sale full three fourths infected, some of the early ones even more; the country growers around bringieg them in for sale in prodigious quantities, many not half grown nor ripe, selling them for what they can get, rather than take them home again. The only potatoes apparently sound are the round reds, many of which arc grown in this county, yet such is the fear of the cuttagers that they are digging them up before they are halt' grown, fearing the disease will also spread to those; no where can be seen a plot but what has all the leaves dead, and the stalks dying fast, leaving the most abominable stench. The turnips along here are also much diseased, and dilly spreading, the tops pierca with innumerable punc tures or holes,, then turning of a sickly yellow, after which the roet . becomes rotten 'through. The carrots and parsnips are also much diseased, the tops dying away, and the lower part of the roots rotting. The onions, of which there are many acres growing here, are .also more than half destroyed; we proceeded on to • SHgnuontir, five miles from Yeovil, and through se veral villages right and left leading thereto, where we heard the general complaint, " that all their potatoes were diseased; that in a month or two, if the disease continued to spread as rapidly as it has done for the last month, they will not have a sound potato to eat." Here we found several plots of rough reds not at all in fected, which we heard the growers had been strongly advised to let remain in the ground, and to preserve them with great care, which they (it is said) have pro mised to do. The kidneys called " Wimborne," are dreadfully infected, to the extent of more than two thirds, though fine in size, yet rotten to the core or heart ; the red nosed kidneys are also much diseased, though not yet tit to dig. The chief dependence for the poor's subsistence during the winter around this pall is on the potato, and those this year are nearly all stroyed. The poor agricultural labourers and their fami lies are almost frantic with despair and grief, exclaiming " What shall we do this next winter?" as many farmers around here last winter w. re not giving more than 7s. u.er_week, and they have expressed their determination already to give Ito more We. Some asserting that only 6s. will be their price after harvest—that they will not be enabled to give more. If so, famine must be the re sult, and that in its most dreadful form, as many, no doubt, will be driven to eat this poisonous diseased escu lent, which the medical gentlemen pronounce as likely to produce fever of the most malignant nature. At STURMINSTER, twelve miles from Yeovil, and four or five villages on the way, we are informed also of the direful effects of this pestilential disease, and the dread ful effects likely to follow the fast decaying and the principal food here of the poor. Already sickness sits upon the now half-famished labourers and their families. What must follow the total destruction of their winter's food no one can foretel, and many shrink here from con templating or discussing this heart•rending topic. Gardens most of the poor have; but what are they now to them (the occupiers), covered with disease, in stead of yielding sustenance, as in other years, such as to carry them through the long and dreary approaching winter? It is not only that their potatoes are rotting, but their carrots, onions, apples, &c., are also fast de caying, and also the greens are scarce, from the long hot weather destroying many early planted. The tur nips, too, of which so many were allowed to gather and partly live thereon last winter, are this year also tainted to a great extent in this county. We here saw several pieces of the rough reds still sound, though the haums were dying prematurely this summer, full two months before this time. At STALBRIDGE, twelve miles also from Sherborne, and through other hamlets, the complaints were not quite so general, though the tops were found dying. There ap pears to be another hardy potato similar to the rough red grown here, through the skin of which the disease has not as yet penetrated ; many ar s pulling up the tops and leaving the roots in the ground, which appears in seine instances to stop the spreading of this direful plague. It appears difficult to make the country people believe it as being wiser to let the potatoes remain in the ground than to dig them up now. There is a chance for the potato when covered over with the earth they grow in, and none when they become exposed to atmos pheric influence. At REDBRICK, four miles from Sturminster, many hardy rough reds and others are grown, which as yet have not much suffered from this distemper. The white shams and yellow lemons, with the early walnut and ash leaf, are more touched than the later sorts, about one third having been found unfit for human food. The poor about here will not give them even to their pigs, as se veral have found that their swine became sick and wasted away after their eating them for a week or two. One farmer had three pigs died, which he attributes to their having been fed with diseased potatoes. At CERNE ABBAS, and within a few miles around, the disease has, within the last three weeks, extended most alarmingly ; it is with the greatest difficulty sound po tatoes can be purchased at any price. We heard of Gs. per bushel having been given by the master of a gentle men's boarding-school here, and the half of those were not fit for food in three days. We were shown a five acre field of potatoes, that three weeks previously pro mised to be the best crop around —now, upon digging three rows, each twelve yards in length, one gallon of sound ones would not be picked out. We were shown plums, much diseased, just picked from the trees ; scar lot runners not fit for food, onions three parts rotten ; turnips dying away in the fields more than one-half daily increased in putridity ; apples, the very few there are, decaying within a few days after they are gathered. At MILBURN PORT the very atmosphere is impregnated with impurity and disease ; the air there breathed ope rating injuriously on the human frame—every field and garden being in a state of putrescency—no vegetables being found wholesome or fit for human food. Fruit also withering, falling oil', and rotting. The fields co vered with diseased potatoes, turnips, &c. The poor almost heart-broken and spiritless, dreading the ap proaching winter, and every face appearing with traces of grief and misery. Returning to Stalbridge brought us to HENGRIDGE, which we would not pass by without making a few observations and inquiries ; finding two or three plots of ground with potatoes in a much more healthy state and appearance than in any other part, during this our inquiry. We were there shown the rough reds, large and free from blemish, speck, or apparent disease, though it must be confessea they have not as yet grown to their usu tily naturid size ; the tops are still green, the haulm sound, and apparently in a grow ing state. Other potatoes are diseased, some in the same fields more than half rotten—the walnut-leaf shaws and reds particularly and extensively so. In our next report we purpose going through the other parts of this county, hoping, as we proceed further, we may find many fields of the old rough reds having escaped this disease. FUNERAL OF LADY SHELLEY.—The remains of Lady Shelley, who died at Elcott House, Berks, were removed for interment in the ancient family chancel at Horsham. The funeral took place on F:iday, August 28, and the procession was accompanied by a great concourse of the inhabitants. The same tribute of respect as observed at the funeral of Sir Timothy Shelley, Bart., was paid to her memory, all the shops being closed. For her charity to the poor, fo - rhi.:r kind services wherever they could be useful, and for her friend ship with the families seated in the neighbourhood, the re membrance of Lady Shelley will be long held in they highest esteem. ^a` " :~~ Li ‘ e ° in 00- bCOF - Dr o g 6 ol pbtSefoo r y t 1 bB for t is no t ve 3, D er' L o B es , fi :a 0 ,, 3 19 i 14' P ./ • OP J , t• e , ' .it jil' - 0 po; , ,„ ~,,,,,, '1; 3 ; 1 1. a 00 0:1 0134. : 11" t
