The German Ocean was probably once a bay, with the shores of Denmark at its innermost parts. A little before this period it was whispered about the TOMB that her Majesty was nearing Southampton in the Fairy, which had gone back to Osborne -house after the Prince had landed ; and the president of the section, Mr. L. Horner, now rose and said, that the paper which was being read was going so much into detail, that it was not of a nature to be finished with advantage in the section. Dr. Forchhammer therefore added a few words respecting the sub-marine forests and peat mosses found in his country. In one place a submarine tumulus was found, in which were knives of flint ; the doctor seemed disposed to date the separation of England from the con tinent between 2,500 and 3,000 years ago. Professor Forbes then read a paper on some natural history Thenomena, bearing on geology, observed since the last 'meeting, and stated the results of the dredging in the European seas. His Royal Highness having remained in this section a full half hour proceeded to section D (Zoology and Botany), which was held in the same building. As soon, however, as the Prince had been introduced to the Pre sident, Sir J. Richardson, M.D. ' Sir R. Murchi son s t a t e d that his brother geologist s had unfortunately been so extremely long-winded, that they had taken all the time which could be devoted by his Royal Highness to the visit. The Prince accordingly took leave at once, and drove to the pier at half-past one o'clock. The Fairy was lying a short distance off; and her Majesty was sitting on the deck in conversation with her ladies. His Royal Highness ran gaily up the side of the vessel from his barge, and presented the Queen with a splendid bouquet of rare flowers, which he had brought with him. Ile also introduced to her Majesty Sir R. Murchison and Lord Palmerston, who accompanied him on board, and who conversed for some minutes with the Queen. Her Majesty appeared in excellent health. -In about ten minutes Lord Palmerston and the President returned to the pier, and the Fairy started for Osborne House under a salute from the platform, and amidst the cheers of the spectators. The water was covered with boats ; one attracted some att en ti on f rom its only occupant being a lady, who was rowing herself. The Prince was loudly cheered in the streets through- out his progress. In the several sections there was an -evident wish to avoid noisy and exciting dernonstra ttions ; the company received him most respectfully, but in only one instance was there any cheering in the dis cussion room. About a clt zen was the limit of the addi • tient to any audience, in consequence of his having ar rived at that particular room. Oat of doors the crowd was considerable, but the admirable arrangements made by the elayor for the accornanalatien of the Press rendered it impossible fur the rep srters to be inconvenienced.

Labour, therefore, has its advantages to counter balance its privations. __ A short discussion followed the reading of the paper, the speaker 3 confirming the doctrines therein laid down. The sections were all better attended to-day than on any previous day. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—On Thurs day last, an inquiry of damages, in an action for breach of promise of marriage, was held in the County Court, before Mr. Brandt, assessor. The action was brought by Miss Harriet Cook, daughter of a gentleman residing. at C'norlton-upon-Medlock ; and the defendant was a Mr. Samuel Turner, who, a short time since, carried on business as a silk dyer at Collyhurst, but is now super intending an establishment in Manchester. The fair plaintiff is, we understand, about 30 years of age, and the defendant is somewhere about 40. For twelve months an intimacy existed between the parties, which eventually ripened into mutual love. But in this case, as in many others, the course of true love did not run smooth. fur, although the defendant had promised the plaintiff marriage —nay, had actually published the banns in the Old C . iurch, and invited the wedding guests, he suddenly broke off the connexion, without assigning any cause whatever for his singular conduct. This took place in January last, and on the 4th or sth of February he married a nother lady. Verdict for the damages 1501.

A public meeting of the scripholders in thi; Company was held to-day at the King's Arms (Herte-t's) note', Palace-yard, Westminster, to take into eons . d.vation the position of the Company, and to adopt measures for their future guidance. Sir John Barker Mill took the chair. The Secretary having read the advertisement calling the meeting, Mr. J. WALKINSHAW, deputy-chairman, then said he wished to inform the meeting that they had on the table memorials from Cheltenham, Cirencester. Crick lade, Swindon, Marlborough, Andover, Stockbridge, Romsey, and Southampton, praying that the directors would proceed with the line. Letters also had been re ceivt d from Earl Bruce and Viscount Duncannon to the same effect, and he stated that other noblemen and influential landholders on the line had signed one or other of the numerous itemorials which had been got up with a view to urging the di rectors to continue their application to Parliament for their Act authorising the construction of the line. Ile further deprecated any expression on that occasion of ir ritable feelings which were so apt. to be occasioned by temporary failure in railway matters ; he was sure that any such expressions would only tend to im pede their future progress. He assured the meeting that, for himself and the directors it was not their inten tion on that occasion to use any means which would influence the vote of the scripholders, that the result might be purely their own. The Secretary then read the report. Sir JOHN BARKER MILL rose to move " That the re port now read be received and printed fOr distribution amongst the shareholders." He said he did not feel himself called upon to enter at any length into the de tali after the ample report which had been re id. Contrary to his expectation, he regretted to say that they had been disappointed of success before Parliament. He joined with the deputy-chairman in deprecating any expression of angry feeling on that occasion, and he was happy to allude to the numerous and spontaneous meetings which from one end of tliti land to the other had been held to urge them to persist in their application to Parliament, an d h e hoped one day, as their chairman, to be able-{ to congratulate them on receiving their Bill. The object of their meeting then was to say whether they would persist in going again toParliamcnt, or whe ther they would at once give up their Bill. He would venture to suggest one thing—that he hoped the share holders would continue to support the directors, who Verre yet prepared to continue their exertions, and to undertake any responsibility in going to Parliament. Att%gow, High Bailiff of Cheltenham, seconded the motion..:, The Reif, FRANCIS CLOSE, said that ho appeared on that occasion representing the people of his parish. He was called up from his seat by the word used by the Chairman in describing the meet ings as spontaneous. He had never seen a more spon taneous and more unanimous meeting of his parish ioners. They were all most, forward for the suc cess of this line, and nothing seemed to give them more concern than the announcement that the Company had failed of success, or to excite more their indignation than the conduct of those opponents through whom they had met with that failure. Their appro.ich to the town of Cheltenham had not boen such as to meet with the entire approbation of the town, but rather than throw any obstacle in the way of the Company's success, they agreed to submit without expressing their dissent. After a few words from EDWARD TOOTAL, Esq., from Manchester, JAMES HOSKINS, Esq., Mayor of Portsmouth, said he would urge them to continue their exertions for the line, first because it was a good line. It was a good line, because, connecting the great manufacturing towns of the north with the great seaport towns of the south, it opened a track of country unsupplied with railway communication. He urged them to do so, secondly, because they had the most ample and over whelming evidence to show that it was a good line, con ducive to all in the kingdom except five ; and thirdly, because all the inhabitants on the route of the line were unanimously in favour of it. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously with great applause. Mr. WALKINOSRAW in moving the second resolution said, he would but repeat what he had already said, that he, or his brother directors would do or say nothing which would in one iota sway in any way the opinion of the shareholders on the subject. He moved:— " That this meeting declares its deliberate opinion ta be that the line advocated by the Company is called for by - the public interests, and ought to be made, and that nothing occurred in the course o f th e Parliamentary ti proceedings which at all affects the confidence of the shareholders in the soundness of the undertaking, as a va'ttible investment." Lord ERNEST BRUCE, in supporting the resolution, said he appeared as the representative of' the town of Marlborough, and stated the very great necessity which that town and Andover both had for that communica tion proffered by the line, and impressed upon the meet ing the desirableness of proceeding with it. As no other person felt inclined to speak on the re solution, it was put and carried with acclamation. Mr. G. FARQUITAR said he support. d the line entirely - on public grounds, for he was sure that once made it te , would become one of the most important main trunk lines in the kingdom; and, in common with others, felt strongly inclined to urge the meeting to vote for prosecuting the line. He moved : " That, therefore,a renewed application be made to Par - liament in the ensuing session for an Act to authorise the construction of the railway, with such changes and ;3i modifications, if any, as to the directors may seem meet ; and that the directors be, and they ar e h ere by au th o . rised to take such steps, based upon the suggestions con tained in their report, as they may think fit, with a view to give effect to this resolution ; and that they be further authorised to allow dissentient shareholders to avtlidraw, and the scrip be re-issued in such manner and ; 12 uponaitielkerms as they shall think expedient." Mr. WILLIAM LANKESTER, from Southampton, said it was the strong desire of the people of that town to- IA get a connexion with the north• west by way of Chel ,y4 tenham into Wales, the west of Scotland, and also with it<3 the coast of Ireland. It was of no avail to have given them the line by Oxford, for they could not 44 be convinced that the longest way round was S 4 the nearest way home. Considering it was the main 9s. port for the mail packet from Asia, and an arsenal of the : kingdom, it was no wonder that the people were united t in their determination and their purpose to have this line. They felt strongly on the subject, and not a little indig nant, if they might be allowed to express it, at the Bill having been thrown out, and they pledged themselves not to rest till they had obtained it. The resolution was carried. - Mr. GEORGE, of Romsey, moved—" That the thanks of this nu eting be presented to the directors for the • energy and ability with which they have devoted them selves to the interests of this Company, and for the ten der of continued service, which their report of this day contains." It was seconded by Mr. SAINSBURY, and carried unanimously. The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN, at the request of the Hon. Baror.et in the chair, acknowledged the honour which the meeting had done them. He begged now to state what he reserved before, that the directors were now doubly confident of success, from the evidence which had come out in favour of the line. He said, also, that within the last few days more than twenty thousand scrip had been sent in ursolicited to the office, with urgent requests to proceed. He then referred to the opinion of Mr. Robert Stephenson, their engineer, that no line of railway could be laid down at a cheaper rate, and to the admission of Mr. Brunel, the engineer of the opposing line, that he would not interfere with the Great Western, though made, and that line along the route must one clay yet be made. They had retained their old friends, they had gained new ones ; they had gained the co-operation of the South-Western, and he might say, now that they had determined to proceed, that they would further have the co-operation of the greatest lines in the country, although he could not enter more into particulars then. Lord Ernest Bruce having been voted into the chair, 2 unanimous vote of thanks to Sir John Barker Mill was passed by the meeting, which then broke up. SALES OF RAILWAY SHARES 131 AUCTION.—(THIS DAY.)

TUESDAY lIVE.NING,_ SEPTEMBER 15, 1846 MARKET INTELLIGENCE. - (From the ./".endon New Price Current of September 15.) SUCIAL—To.d a v there was a stronger desire manifested to purchase West - India Muscovado Sugar for both the scale and pan, and merchants were less inclined to realize. The demand was brisk, and the rates paid were equal to those of Friday; indeed, in some cases the better qualities of yellow and grey brought G.l per cwt advance. The market has a better appearance for Sugar subject to the 14s per cwt duty. REFINED.—Today Refined goods were largely deal in by the home trade, and prices advaneed, brown grocery lumps fetching 62s to 62s 6d, and standard lumps 63s to 63s ed per ' cwt. Crushed Sugar, is little wanted f or exportat i on, and prices have declined; 33s per cwt being taken for first quality. Mnuntalus.—This afternoon some parcels of Mauritius Sugar were sold privately, and the bright grocery sorts in sme cases fetched stiffer rates. FOREIGN.—In yellow Havannah for exportation the trans actions have been upon a more extended scale, in conse quence of merchants lowering their prices 6d to is per cwt; two floating cargoes were disposed of for Antwerp. Yellow and brown Havannah were in excellent request by the home trade, and brought full rates, but the market has been more freely supplied. At auction 3,343 chests duty paid were all sold and chiefly to the grocers. All sorts of Brazil have been sparingly dealt in by private contract by our refiners and grocers, and the prices accepted show a decline on those previously current. Porto Rico is little wanted and can be obtained upon rather lower terms; the value of common to fine quality is 45s to 51s per cwt. None has been offered at auction. For Cuba muscovadoe the market has a dull appearance, and prices are lowering. The limited business transacted in China has been at rather low rates. Java has met with little atten tion, and must be quoted rather cheaper. The tendency of prices is still evidently downwards for Foreign Sugar, the result of both free and slave labour, although the deliveries are yet on the increase, as stocks are heavy, and far exceed those o f l ast year, especially of M an i lla and Havannah. Price s o f a ll k i nds are, however. lower than they were at that tim e . EAsT IxotA.—Thi s a ft ernoon a t p u bli c sa l e 3 , 246 b ags Bengal Sugar were offered ; a stronger desire was shown to operate, ari the whole sold 6d to is per cwt above former rates. MoLissEs.—To. day several parcels of West India Molasses were sold at 23s for Antigua, 23s f.,r Dominica, and at 21s 6:1 fur Tobago. 11.,11 y K ahl Treacle is fetching ' 2ls to 21s 6d per cwt. TEA.—llolders are unwilling to further reduce their prices, and refrain from offyring any at public sale, but the market has a dull appearance for both black and grecn, although the clearances for home consumption amounted to 529,0001b8. during the past week. The value of low and good common Congou, cash, is 8d to 9id ; Hyson, common, ls 9d to is Ild; and Twaukay, low to lair yellowish leaf, 10d to 18 Id. CoF'FEZ.—This afternoon at public sale 301 bags of Bahia Coffee sold at rather low rates, fine ordinary mixed went at 31s to 325, good ordinary ditto 29s to 30s 6d, ordinary 27s to 28s, sea damaged 24s to 295. 128 barrels 1116 bags of Rio went at full value, middling coloury selling at Ws, low middling greenish 45s to 465, tine fine ordinary 40s to 43s 6d, ordinary pale 335, and ;sea damaged 39s to 375. Of Ceylon none was offered at auction, and privately little business was done; there are sellers of good ordinary pale at 40e per cwt. Sncrts.—Nutmegs have been in excellent request, and previous advanced rates are suotainel Mace _ - attracting attention, and prices are rising. The better qualities of Cloves are wanted, and previous im proved rates are fully sustained. For Eastern Pepper former prices are sustained, and a fair business has been transacted. Malabar is little wanted, still holders at present will not further lower their prices. White has met with more attention, but holders accept former low rates. Pimento is less plentiful, and being wanted, prices rule firm. Fine Jamaica Ginger has maintained the former value. East India and African are little wanted, and prices are drooping. Cassia Lignea is firm in price, and a fair demand. In the better kinds of Cinnamon several purchases have been made, and the ratespaid are rather above those of the last quarterly sales. FRUIT.—Thia afternoon at public sale 350 drums of New Turkey Figs went at 80s, 200 drum of New Sultana Raisins at 80s, 854 boxes 65b boxes of New Muscatel Raisins in layers sold at 56s to 645, 400:1- boxes, and 400 i ditto Musca tel Raisins sold at 46s to 525, 63 boxesof old Jordan Almonds taken in at 7/. SmaTs.—Holders of Jamtica Runs evince firmness in con sequence of the chips arriving bringing light cargoes, they insist upon previous rates for all descriptions, and supply the markets• sparingly. , To-day Demerara and Jamaica Rum sustained the former value, but for other sorts lower rates taken, pro , f Leeward selling at •2s 4d, and Calcutta at is 10d to Is 1014 d, proof with certificate. Saurrirrm.—To-day the better qualities of Rough were sparingly dealt in, and 1,26 S bags of Calcutta at public sale only in part sold at barely fbrmer rates. COCIIINEAL. —This afternoon the quantity offered at public sale amounted 287 bags of Honduras, and nearly the whole - sold at full rates, black brought 5s 10d to Gs 9d, and silvers Sd to 5s 81 per lb. Oirs.—A further advance has taken place in the value of Cocoa Nut, and large purchases have been made privately, chiefly by the home trade : indeed the market has been nearly • cleared. Palm has been in extensive request, and prices have risen. Rape Seed Oil cannot be had upon lower terms, but - there has only been a limited business done, the market better supplied. Olive has been extensively dealt in, holders evince much firmness, and obtained 41/ to 42/ for Gallipoli, 391 to 401 for Spanish and Sicily, and 381 to 391 for Barbary, Levant and Portugal ; indeed some parties will not accept these rates, as the stock is not large as it was; the consump tion going on sati-factorily, and the prospect if the arrivals being much less than they were during last season. In Lin seed Oil large purchases have been made by the home trade, and several parcels were taken for exportation. For Seal Oil the demand is irnprovin . '; ; holders evince firmness and supply the market sparingly, a fair amount of business has been trans acted. There has be, n but little desire to operate in Cod. With Sperm the market is well supplied, and the demand being limited, prices are lowering. For Linseed, Olive, Cocoa Nut, and Palm prices are above those of last season, but for Rape Oil they are lower, as is the case with respect to all Fish Oils. TA LLOW. —The home trade are still inclined to increase their stocks with all descriptions, as the consumption is on the increase, arrivals continuing to be deficient of last year and prices ruing moderate. Holders have confidence, and supplied the market sparingly; although several parcels have come in since this day week. There has been a large business transacted in Russian on the spot at stiffer rates, fine new P. Y. Candle bringing 42s Gd to 42s 9d, and old 42s to 42s 3d. For forward delivery a good deal has been done. The demand has been active for home made, but the market is still well supplied. All other kinds of Tallow have met with attention, and brought previous improved rates. CONDITION OF THE DORSET SIIIRE LABOURER. BEAMINSTER, THURSDAY.—This afternoon a nume rous and highly resp, , etable meeting of the inhabitants of Dorsetshire, was held in the parochial school-room in this town, for the purpose "of taking into consideration the propriety of forming a society for bettering the con dition of the labouring classes by the field garden allot ment system. The Right lion. Lord Stavordale took the chair ; and amongst a large attendance of clergymen on the plat form, were the Revs. Messrs. Crookson, Mayers, Morris, Worthy, Blem nerh a ssett, Whitehead, Helyar, Lane, Ward, and C. Fox. Several ladies were also present. Lord STAVORDILE, on taking the chair, observed that a circular announcing the meeting had been sent to the gentry, the landowners, and the occupiers of land throughout the district. Before he called upon the gen tlemen who had consented to take a part in the proceed ings of the day, he would beg to state the motives that had induced him to be present, and the limits within which he was prepared to support such a society as they contemplated establishing, lie was not one of those who believed that the field garden system was a perfect remedy for all the evils and ills of the condition of the labourer of this country—that it would totally put an end to the distress t r which they were some times liable ; but he did believe it would be an alle viation of that distress, and, therefore, he was prepared to do what he could to assist in this undertaking. It had been said that no pm spect was so pleasant as that from a man's own window over his own land. That sentiment savoured of considerable selfishness, and he should be sorry to inculcate it into the labourer, but in a limited sense he was inclined to receive it. He was in clined to believe that no pleasure was sweeter than that which a labourer naturally takes in the plot of land, rented by himself and cropped by his own exertions and those of his family.—(Cheers.) With regard to the practical question—what chance they had of establishing such a society in this district, he would observe, that in that town the allotment system had already been estab lished, and he had been informed by the founder of it, that there was an extensive competition for the land. He had no doubt other towns were similarly circumstanced, and, therefore, he thought there was a good opening for their exertions. He was quite aware that the establish ment of a society was a matter of some difficulty and delicacy, but he thought, with proper management and forbearance, they might brirg over those who at present were doubtful of the success of their scheme. If the tenants would look with favour on the scheme, and en deavour to unite to form a society, he did think that they would find it of benefit to all classes.—(Cheers.) Captain STEEL, the secretary, then, at the request of the Chairman, read letters which he had received in reply to circulars sent to Lord Ashley, the Lord Bishop of Salisbury, the High Sheriff of the county, Mr. N. B. Cochrane, M.P. for Bridport, Sir Dudley Hill, Captain Scobell, the Rev. John Mules, Rev. J. F. Johnson, Rev. Mr. Maskell, and Dr. B. Wills, M.D., of Brixton. The most important parts of these communications we subjoin:— (From Lord Ashley.) " itYde, August 28. " Sir,—lt would give me much pleasure to assist the projected association for the benefit of the labouring classes in Dorset, by every means in my power. I shall be happy, if I can thus render any service, to become one of.the patrons.—Your very obedient servant, (From the Lord Bi s h o p o f the diocese.) ASHLEY." " Swanage,lAugust 29. " Sir,—l am very sorry that it will not be in my power to be present at the meeting ; but if the associa tion be formed for the purpose of promoting the object referred to in your letter, I shall be happy to become a member of it, in such capacity as the Committee may desire. I have been able to do something in the fur therance of the field garden system in the parish of Chardstock, where I have set apart twelve acres of land, under the management of the clergyman of the parish, to be occupied in this manner. It appears to be the surest mode in which a certain amount of good can be done to the poor of our agricultural parishes. " I am, Sir, your very faithful servant, "E. SARITM." The_High Sheriff; in his letter, stated that he " had long had allotments on his estate, and under his rules they had been found to answer well; Our limitation has been quarter acres, except where the families have been large, when half an acre has not been found too much." Mr. Cochrane stated that, " in my parishes, in Scot land, I have always found the system adopted with the happiest results." Captain Scobell (who has had extensive experience of the system) supplied the following suggestions, which he recommended as rules for the contemplated society:— "1. That there must be no favourites among the tenants ; neither exclusion in the onset from previous misdeeds. , This is not on ly a preserv i ng, but a reclaim ing sy s t em . " 2. The tenants should be (except in cases of sick ness or accident) selt-maintaining labourers and jour neymen mechanics—no higher grades, or permanent paupers. "3. The land should be of good average quality. They can uphold it. Its situation should be convenient. "4. The size of the respective field-gardens ought to be from 20 to 40 poles, enough to grow for home con sumption, but not enough to make them salesmen. "5. Above all, the rent should not be more nor less than the proportionate charge to the farmer for similar land. If it is more, the motive will be suspected ;if less, it will look like charity, and seem to want permanency. " 6. Let the rules for occupation be few and simple ; easy to be understood, •and not likely to be questionable in performance. A tenant should never be displaced but for a proved breach of one of these rules. "7. A portion should be planted (and from the potato failure a large portion) with vegetables, not potatoes." Colonel BRAGGE then rose to move the first resolution. Having briefly expressed the pleasure he felt at seeing the excellent young nobleman in the chair, supporting the measures of another Noble Lord (he meant Lord Ashley) he moved— " That practical experience, both in the neighbouring county and elsewhere, has shown that field-garden allot ments have been the means of administering to the com forts of the labourer and of reclaiming him from idle and dissolute habits." The Rev. J. F. WHITTT, in seconding this, contended that the system realised both the objects stated. That an increase of comfort was needed by the labourer no one there he should think would doubt or question. It is well known that there was in many parishes great destitution, and in seasons of great trial the afflictions of the poor would be enough to make those surrounded with the comforts of life shudder at the extent of them. The Rev. Gentleman bore testimony to the good effects of the system in the county of Suffolk, where he had seen it carried out by Sir Edward Kerrison, and where many poachers had been reclaimed by its influence. Mr. BAHR:NEL proposed the second resolution. He said he thought it was their duty and their interest to do all they could for those whom God had been pleased to place beneath them, but upon whom he looked with, an equal eye—(Cheers) —but that that object was carried out better by the landlord and the farmer than by any one else they hid ample experience. The Rev. Mr. WARD, of Compton Valiance, seconded the resolution in a long and able speech'. He said he was not a very proper person to address them on the subject of allotments, because about two years ago ho gave a por tion of his glebe land as allotments, and this year it had been returned on his bands ; but this he must add, that his parishioners were blessed with a landlord who was a father to them, and a tenant who was a very good mas ter. Were that the case throughout the country, there would be no need of such associations as this. In a neighbouring parish, however, he had been struck with the difference in appearance produced by the introduction of the system, and, as a further proof, he might mention that in the neighbourhood of Naples— the plain of Sorrento--he found 35,000 people living in comfort and comparative aftluence upon a piece of land THE HORRIBLE MURDER AT CHESTERFIELD. Connected with this korrid affair an opinion prevails that the deceased's body was cut up and carried away in parts to the cesspool, in which his mangled remains were discovered. This idea, however, is not supported by the surgeon who examined them ; he clearly ascer tained that the first vertebrae, which connects the head with the spine, had not the appearance of having been separated by any violence, as it was found complete. But it must be borne in mind that the second and third vertebrae are not to be found, and if the head were sepa rated from the body after death, those bones would be so broken up as to be undistinguishable afterwards. The mangled remains were interred in St. Thomas's church yard, Brompton, on Monday last, followed by a large party of friends and relations, including Ellen Beres ford, and attended by an immense concourse of spec tators. The prisoner was removed to Derby gaol on Friday morning, in the custody of Sharpe, an active constable of Chesterfield ; a great number of people congregated at the railway station to witness his de parture; he arrived a short time before the train, and made a request to see Mr. R. Statham, butcher, by whom he was employed, and with whom he conversed, seemingly without reserve, and did not seem in the least unnerved; when the train arrived, be was hurried through the crowd to the carriages, upon which he ap peared pale and agitated. He shook hands with some a •quaintances, and bade them good-bye. He also told Mr. Statham that he was innocent of the murder. There was some groaning on his proceeding to the carriage, otherwise there was no strong feeling manifested by the congregated throng. He is a very diminutive man, being only five feet one inch in height, stout built, active, and having a repulsive countenance. Among the fraternity he and his brother, in derision of their small stature, were known by the names of " Gog " and " Magog." A few days ago he addressed a letter to Mr. R. Statham, which contained little more than desiring his respects to his acquaintance and assertions of his innocence. He did not, however, forget his old friend " Nero," a favourite dog, to whom he sent " his respects." Prisoner is described by his late em ployer as being remarkably temperate in his habits, and a rather timid disposition. Collis, the supposed mur dered man, was a good-looking person, 26 years of age, about the middle size, dark hair, and light whiskers, and well known and respected in the neighbourhood. Ellen Beresford, the young woman to whom he was betrothed, is a pretty and respectable-looking young, woman, and her case has excit e d muc h s y m p a thy, as it is stated to have been the intention of Collis to marry her had he lived. A number of benevolent individuals, feeling that she was deprived of a husband, and her child of a father, by this tragical occurrence, have laudably determined to raise a subscription in her behalf, and there is no doubt but their praiseworthy object will meet with the success which its merits.—Derbyshire Courier. THREE LIVES LOST ON THE RIVER. —.011 Sunday evening two accidents happened in Erith reach, neer the Half-way House, and we regret to add that one of them involved the loss of three lives. A pleasure sailing boat, called the Miriam, went down the river to Erith, on a pleasure excursion ; she was managed by Joseph Leonard, a waterman of Blackwall, and brother of one of the Thames police inspectors, and another m an con versant with the m a n agement of pleasure yachts. There were three gentlemen on board, who names have net transpired. The wind freshened in the evening, and while the boast was coming up the reach one of the men went aloft to reef the *Yaff-topsail, and 'while he was doing so a squall of wind caught the sail, and the top weight of the man above caused the frail barque to cap size., and the whole party were immersed in the water. Two of the party almost immediately disappeared, and were drowned ; Leonard clung to the hatches and other floating gear for some time, but ultimately sunk before assistance could reach him, and also met a watery grave. The other waterman, and one of the gentlemen, said to be owner of the boat, were saved by Margatroyed, Waterman and sailors' lodging-house keeper, who was rowin2 his boat up the reach at the time, and who also recovered some of the materials of the pleasure boat. The unfortunate occurrence has created a great sensa tion among the owners of sailing yachts and pleasure boats on the river. It is reported that the Miriam had actually been sailing a match with another pleasure boat and came off the winner on Sunday, and having parted with her opponent, Leonard, who had been down the river with another gentleman's pleasure boat, and re mained ashore at Erith till she was gone, requested a " cast up" in the Miriam, which was granted. None of the bodies have been recovered. Soon afterwards anothE r accident occurred in the same reach ; a quay skiff of large dimensions, and containing seven persons, which had been down on a pleasure trip, was capsized in a squall ; six of the party clung to the boat, while R. Hamilton, a waterman, swam towards a sailing barge at anchor, and made known the danger of his companions ; the bargemen immediately put off in their boat, and saved the whole of the party, who, after drying themselves on board the sailing barge, were sent up to London in a steamer. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE OXFORD RAILWAY STATION.—A dreadful accident happened at the Oxford station of the Great Western Railway on the evening of Saturday, about seven o'clock, whereby two men of the names of Bates and Gardiner, employed as porters at the station, lost their lives. It appears that the two poor fellows, with several others, were employed in re moving large blocks of deals from a boat in the Isis to a truck, for the purpose of conveyance by rail, when sud denly the crane (from the great weight attached to it) broke, and falling on the two unfortunate men killed them both instantaneously. The head of Bates was completely smashed, and the other poor fellow had his neck and arm broken. The rest of the men escaped un injured. four miles long by two broad, There were no poor laws, and there were no beggars, which in Italy was a remarkable thing. Every one had a fair day's wages for a fair day's work. The country was principally cul tivated by the spade, and the product was so enormous that every creature found a comfortable subsistence. How happened it that within these British dominions, the richest in the world, there were large numbers of the population more miserable than any population in the world ? How came it that the peasantry of Eng land were the worst educated of any in Europe ? He did not speak of that county in particular ; yet still there was distress enough in some parishes to warrant them in calling for the formation of a Dorset Labourers' Society. Such society was not needed on estates where they had paternal landlords ; but it was needed where the land was in the hands of persons of small property, as he knew a large portion of the west of Dorset was. But, after all, it was to the landlords of England that they must look in that emergency.—(Cheers.) If—he might say it fearlessly in that county—if the landlords of England would but do their duty, every one else would do theirs.—(Cheers.) He believed that an enor mous responsibility in the sight of God rested upon them. Let them not look to what was wanted in the large ma nuricturing towns—let them look at home. The land lords had no right to expect those under them to take their places in tending to the wants and comforts of those who were their especial care—the poor.—(Cheers.) But when he affirmed it to be the duty of the landlord to have the tenantry on his estate under his peculiar care, not only those in his own pet cottages, but those in the most remote corner of his estate—when he said that he would not debar the tenant from his privilege, for surely it must be to him a great happiness to ride over his farm and find his labourers glad to see him, in stead of saying, " Here comes master," and hiding themselves.—(Loud cheers.) But when he thought of their own responsibilities and duties he confessed he felt at d loss for words to express his feelings. It had been asked how could the clergy interfere ? His answer was, from first to last the clergy had the education of England's best hope—the young heirs of her fair broad lands—and a word spoken by them had had immense effect. He did believe that if the clergy would do their duty, England would be in a very different state. If landlord, tenant, and clergy would do their duty, then would they indeed see increased domestic comfort in their peasantry—then indeed would industrious habits be encouraged, and our Queen would reign (to use the words of King George the Good) in the hearts of a loyal and religious people.—(Loud cheers.) Air. GILBERT proposed the third resolution, which the Rev. Mr. LANE supported. The fourth resolution, forming the society, was pro posed by Mr. J. Gundry, a large manufacturer of Brid port, and seconded by Mr. Gilbert. It was determined that the Lords Ilchester, Portarlington, Bridport, Ash ley, Rivers, and the Lord Bishop of Salisbury, should be patrons ; the Lord ,Stavordale president ; and th e Hon. and Rev. S omerv ill e H ay, the lion, and Rev. W. Scott, the High Sheriff of the county, the Members for the county, the Members for Bridport and Lyme, Sir J. B. Smith, Mr. H. C. Compton, M.P., and Mr. R. B. Sheridan, M.P., vice-presidents. Mr. SPARKS (and the Rev. W. B. Whitehead, vicar of Chard) then, at the request of the Chairman, detailed the progress of the society with which they were con nected—the Crewkerne, Chard, and Ilniinster Field- Garden Allotment and Labourers' Friend Society, which had been in existence fourteen years, and now comprised thirty parishes, and more than 800 allotments. The Rev. Gentleman expatiated on its good effects at consi derable length, and commended it for saving the la- bourers from the demoralising, detested, and degrading influences of the union workhouse. It also, by amelio rating their moral condition, elevated them morally and religiously, for the Bible was a plant which would never flourish well amidst scenes of destitution and pauperism. He advocated, with it, clothing clubs, loan funds, savings' banks, and parochial schools. lie was not foolish enough to suppose that they could ever attain an Arcadia. " Vain were the search for scenes like these : No view appears, "By sighs unruffled, or unstained by tears." But let them remember that though the poor were " not to cease out of the land," it was in their power to remote the sting from poverty.—(Loud cheering.) The Rev. Gentleman, in conclusion, congratulated the county on having, by such a meeting, given so noble a refutation to their heartless traducers. Captain STEEL said, he would not call in question whit had been said, nor would he justify what had been written of the county ; but he wished to remark that this meeting had not been called forth either by the re port of the Committee of the Commons on field-garden allotments, or by the animadversions of the press. The committee, at their first meeting, were deeply impressed with the necessity for such a society. He could also as sure them that the gentleman who appeared there as an emissary of the parent society, had as little to do with any of those animadversions as he had. The resolutions having all been carried nem. con., Mr. J. POPE, tenant farmer, proposed a vote of thanks to the Noble President ; and, in reference to an obser vation respecting Mr. Sheridan, observed—Let the Hon. Gentleman exercise the same discretion in carrying out his benevolent intentions as the Noble Lord, and he shall have as hearty a welcome. Lord STAVORDALE returned thanks, and observed that he firmly believed that Mr. Sheridan's motives had been misconstrued. The meeting then separated. WORKS by ROBERT J. CULVERWELL, &c.
