THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. 30 to 50 per Cent. Saved ! . I 'o be had at the Patentees , 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, We advantages resulting from the invention are various and tog. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the corn -1,47Li0n is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior t o any li g ht dlerto discovered. It emits ne ither smell nor smoke, and b urns .."" P7a4lllY for any period ; and such is its p urit y , that it neith er affects 80 i1$ the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have e.. Ito the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of 4 4 gs, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, Sec.; 11„,, e ar entirely obviated by e " PATENT UrtivEase.t. GAB RIO s As the cost of laying on th gas is muck lower than s cern supposed, it is adapted fbr private dwellings, as well as for ," 0 -houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buldings. One of t r.., 411 burners is amply sufficient to light a good-s i zed room, at a sum i,;_ n leasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of e„,te or trouble. ..„' - ho merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing ;',er3' other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic elons of the qnalities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. ~.tract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Jonte Itmrxtz, President, in the Chair. T h . gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. e Principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the Th e of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. air passing np through the hollow stem of the button, was " l ed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, I t ' lc ValPinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it out wards the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with ealburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, ..." 6 flame was quite white down the top of the burner, w as very steady, ZlZaa amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, . 1 1 re these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying be Power of the two lights by the photometer , the new bu rn er g ave a 'vtter light, with a saying of rather more than one-third."

LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICATE. " In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Me Niell, and Co.'s L,l__ent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta- L Med in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against sand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a ss vtng of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners, 4, 40 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe rior to way ether burner. ' T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist, J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector.

In that state Dr. Waters and Dr. Arthur found the two friends, who were affectionately attached to each other ; but the skill of those gentle men was of no avail—the injury sustained by Mr. Doolin was past the power of man to remove or palliate, and in less than an hour after the fatal discharge of Colonel Westenra's gun, the beloved and lamented Mr. Doolin was released from his sulrerings. Immediately after M. Doolin had expired, an inquest was held on his remains by Mr. J. Dillin, Coroner, and a respectable jury, to whom the facts of the case were given in evidence. When the inquiry had been con cluded, the jury without a moment's hesitation, returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and exonerated Colonel Westenra from all blame in the deplorable transaction, by which he lost a valied and attached friend. - The shock which society has sustained by the me lancholy death of Mr. Doolin will not soon subside.

BENTINCK AT CHELMSFORD. NIGHT.—The Essex Agricul ion Society, to compliment the Duke of ho was unable to be present) and Lord G. .vited them to a public dinner, which took , ning, in the Assembly-room of the Shire * by the favourable contrast it presented .o the ordinary character of agricultural repasts, may be said to have contained within itself a striking proof of the value of competition, having been arranged, pre pared, and served by the rival establishments of the Saracen', Head and Black Boy inns. -There was a total absence of motto, device, or decoration in the room, in which eleven tables, with about 32 covers on each, were placed transversely. Mr. Toole, from London, acted as toast-master. The chair was filled by Mr. R. Baker, of Writtle, the founder of the society, the seats on either side being occupied by the noble guest, Mr. C. G. Round, M.P.; Mr. Newdegate, M.P.; Mr. Hudson, M.P.; Mr. 0. Gore, M.P.; Mr. Waddington, M.P.; Sir J. Tyrrell, M.P.; Mr. G. Palmer, M.P.; Major Beresford, M.P.; Mr. r. Ben net, M.P.; and Mr. Heneker ; the Rev. J. Cox, Rev. F. Elope, Rev. T. Fisher, Rev. W. Shepherd, Rev. C. T. James, Rev. D. Gwilt, Rev. J. Bullock, Rev. W. P. Hollywood, Rev. J. H. Randolph, Rev. E. Edwards, Rev. M. Kemble, Rev. E. Nottage, Captain Hoyborn, Captain Cox, Colonel Bagges, and several other gentle men from the surrounding country. The CHAIRMAN (previous to proposing the ordinary national toasts, which were drunk with enthusiasm), re ferred to several communications conveying apologies for absence, but showing, as he observed, that the feel ing in favour of protection to British industry remained unabated.—(Cheers.) One of them, he regretted to say, was from the Duke of Richmond, who stated that, since his arrival in Scotland, he had not enjoyed good health, the Parliamentary campaign having knocked him up, and on that account, fearing to undertake so long a journey, but expressing his grateful acknowledgments for the invitation. Lord Ashburton, the Duke of Graf• ton, andiSir H. Smith were also amongst the apologists. " The Bishop of Rochester and the Clergy of the Dio cese," having been proposed by Mr. A. Majendie, of Hedingho.m Castle, the toast was responded to by the Rev. J. Cox, of airsted, who said that they had as sembled not simply to compliment Lord George Ben tinck for having laid the foundation of a great and last ing party, but to raise upon that foundation the super structure of the party itself, guided by this great principle, that all due protection should be extended to British industry against uncontrolled competition with foreign labour—(Hear, hear)—and that free encouragement should be given to the produce of Great Britain, whether emanating from the anvil, the loom, or the land, and likewise to British shipping.—(Cheers.) He would venture to include the protection of the church and the monarchy itself, being convinced that the principle of free- trade and of buying in the cheapest market was totally at variance with the preservation of the monarchy and the church, as at present established. The Rev. Gentleman then drew a contrast between the bishop of the diocese, who, he said, had maintained his consistency as a protectionist, and the Bishop of Oxford, who, while he professed his love of free-trade, and declared that it was common sense, made that declaration, with a mental reservation against free-trade in sugar, because it would promote slavery. But the great body of Quakers, who, as free-traders, went still further, and refused to make use of slave-grown sugar, were well known to be purely democratic in their principles, both as regarded church and state, and he believed, therefore, if the principle of free- trade were to be carried out in all its integrity, that it would ultimately lead to democratic doctrines, to the destruction of the church and the present form of go vernment.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN introduced the next toast with more than ordinary pleasure. It was no ordinary occasion on which they were met to do honour to those who had so nobly fought their battle, and who were still able to de fend their interests. Never was a party placed in such a position of the protectionists• Defeated by their own chief, and that chief since overthrown by his own party. But, though, defeated, they had still sufficient courage re►naining to stand . forWard in the cause of truth and justice, and by God's help they would continue to stand by it till it prevailed.—(Cheers.) He regretted that ill ness had occasioned the absence of the Duke of Rich mond, but they had the Noble Lord (G. Bentinck) pre sent; and they all knew that he, and the party in the House of Commons who followed him, had conducted themselves, when called upon to play what was supposed at the time to be a desperate game, in a manner to call forth the admiration, not only of the farmers and the labourers, but of the whole kingdom.—(Cheers.) It was for the purpose of expressing their sympathy with the cause in which the Noble Lord and the Noble Duke had engaged that they were then met, and it was with feel ings of gratitude, thankfulness, and respect, that he now proposed " the health of the . Duke of Richmond and Lord George Bentinck." The toast was drunk with nine times nine. Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, who was loudly cheered, said, that, in rising to return the thanks of the Duke of Richmond and his own for the cordial manner in which they had met the toast just proposed from the chair, he was sure that he only re-echoed the pulses that beat in every breast when he expressed his deep regret that his Noble Friend the Duke of Richmond was not present to receive the thanks his exertions and zeal in the cause of agriculture entitled him to. The Noble Duke had been the warrior of the working day, and he (Lord George Bentinck) could not do better than apostrophise the answer he gave to their invitation when he directed him (Lord G. Bentinck) to say how deeply he felt the honour intended him by the county of Essex, which was the first to raise the banner of protection, and which at the last great fight was unanimous in the voice it sent up to Parliament, and which was eminently dis tinguished above all other counties; for, if not the unani mity, at least the almost unanimity with which the repre sentatives of Essex had displayed their fidelity to their engagements.—(Cheers.) The Members whom Essex had sent up to support those principles of national protection to all British industry, of which in 1841 Sir Robert Peel professed to be the advocate, though in 1846 they had witnessed the spectacle of Sir Robert Peel overthrowing those principles which in 1841 he ob tained power by pro fessing—of the ten Members for Essex, nine had remained faithful to the county and to their principles.—(Cheers.) It grieved him to think that no other district c:ould claim for its representatives similar honour and similar honesty. But, looking at the state of Essex, his Noble Friend had bid him tell them how deeply he Veit honoured by their invitation ; and, in one line fro.st one of the oldest poets of this country, he might apostrophise the Noble Duke's mes sage to them thus :-- " In God's name cheerly on, courageous friends." The Rev. Gentleman who lately spoke had said truly that they were BOW" met, not so much to pay personal compliments as to show that the mind of the country was not changed in its determination to uphold the prin ciple of protection to native industry—whether the an vil, the loom, the soil, or the land of England—(Cheers) —and if he Lord Bentinck) could claim any merit at all, it was that in a moment of difficulty, when treason was in the camp—when the enemy, far more dangerous than the foreign foe, was their own leader—(Hear, hear)—when deserted by all those in whom they had been taught to pl ace confidence, at a moment when the heart of the countzy was—he would not say beaten down —but when the confidence of the country was weak ened, he bad stood forward to rally the shaken troops of the protectionists.. If the Ministry was false he saw at least one honourable and righteous man among them, a man distinguished. beyond all his colleagues for high talent and great ability, and pointed to Lord Stanley as the pilot who would weather the storm. He said to them " Teucro duce et auspice, Teucro nil desperandum." And when he was told that if there was a leader in the House of Lords, there was no man to be found to govern the party in the House of Commons, he scorned to think that England was so degraded and so fallen from her high estate—that having withstood the storm of civil commotion—having maintained her ground when threa tened by France and the United States conjointly, the time had arrived when she was so bound down at the feet of Sir Robert Peel, or any other Minister, and, he said—not dreaming that he himself should ever be called upon to take any prominent part in the movement, much less that he should be required to take the high position in the House of Commons which their representative had assigned to him —(Cheers)—the constituencies of the empire will find new men whenever the old shall be found wanting either in power or inclination honestly to serve the state.—(Cheers.) Was ho to be told that no other man could govern the destinies of the State but Sir Robert Peel or Lord John Russell—(Hear) — or that English glory or English existence must end with the political existence of Sir Robert Peel ? (Hear, hear.) He believed he had shown that though their ranks had been decimated by treason and cowardice, still the remnant had exhibited some power of combination against those who had coalesced against_ them. It was for the country to send men to Parlia ment to help and assist them in their struggle, and to take the place he now held.

IRELAND. Dummy. SEPT. 23. MEASURES OF RELIEF.—LABOUR-RATE ACT. The Lord Lieutenant has issued thirty-two additional proclamations, for extraordinary sessions in sixteen counties. The total numtar of proclamations issued is now one hundred and fifty-nine. The following letter from the Under-Secretary shows the increasing demand for presentment sessions, owing to the rapid spread of destitution throughont the country:— " Dublin Castle, Sept. 19, 1846. " Gentlemen,—l am commanded by the Lord Lieu tenant to state, in reference to your representation of the distress prevailing in the parish of Aghada, that from the great number of baronies in the county of Cork from which reports of distress have been received, some delay necessarily takes place in bringing the Poor Employ ment Act into operation; but his Excellency will, as soon as possible, direct an extraordinary presentment sessions to be held for the barony of Imokilly. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " T. N. REDINGTON. " Rev. Francis Shore and Rev. A. Peyton, Aghada." REPEAL DEPUTY- LIEUTENANTS. The Dublin Gazette of last night contains the following:— " The Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to approve of the following gentlemen being re-appointed Deputy- Lieutenants, viz.:— Edmund B. Roche, Esq., for the county of Cork. The Hon. Thomas Ffrench, for the county of Galway. John J. Bodkin, Esq., for the county of Galway. Sir Valentine Blake, Bart., for the county of the town of Galway. Maurice O'Connell, Esq., M.P. for the county of Kerry. Morgan John O'Connell, Esq. M.P. for the county of Kerry. Thomas Lloyd, Esq., for the county of Limerick, and Robert Dillon Browne, Esq., for the county of Mayo." THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE KING'S COUNTY.—INQUEST ON THE LATE A. P. DOOLIN, ESQ., J.P. We have received a fuller account of the deplorable occurrence near Shinrone. On Monday last, the Hon. Colonel Westenra, M.P. for the King's County, and Mr. A. P. Doolin, J.P., of Derry House, near Shinrone, were out shooting on the lands of the Harrow, near Shara vogue House, the seat of the Hon. Member. In getting over a ditch, the Colonel's foot was caught by a briar, both ends of which were fast in the ground, and having attempted to jump into the next field, the hoop formed by the briar being concealed from observation, his jump was arrested, and he was precipitated with great force to the ground. In the fall, one barrel of a double de tonator which he carried exploded, and the contents of the charge lodged between the shoulders of Mr. Doolin, and penetrated to and shattered his lungs. Two men of the labouring class, who had been out with these gentlemen as markers, hastened to procure assistance. Both gentle men were carried to the house of a farmer, on the lands of Harrow—the lamented Mr. Doolin in a dying state, and Colonel Westenra almost insensible, and unable to move or utter a word. The agonising moans of with regard to weeds, I am confident it would - have a very great effect upon the cleanly farm ing in this part of the country.—(flear.) I will not presume to detain you further than. to express my cor dial thankS; first for the patience with which you have now listened to me ; next, for the continued and in creased support which you have given to the society, in which I take a deep, and I will state also, a growing interest. And permit me to say that while I see in the cause of this society much to encou rage, and much to induce us to be , thankful for the exertions made, and to be pleas'ed with , the progress that has been made, I see, also, we have still much before us, and my earnest hope is, 'that stimulated by the emulation produced by such socie, ties, both landlords and tenants will exert themselves, hand in hand, to meet the difficulties to which they, may be exposed, whether by visitations of Providence, by the legislation, of man, or by difficulties to which they may .... be unused. Let them exert theuiselves with true Eng lish spirit to meet all these difficulties with correspond 7 big exertions ; and where belief and cotifidence are, more especially in this district, where we have the advantage of an abundant supply of manure, and the still greater advantage of constant and overflowing markets, close at our doors, those exertions, if applied to the soil, will not be invested in a treasury that will yield no return, but one which will yield a liberal return to both landlord and tenant. More than this ; these increased exertions —and the increased interest felt by both will tend to that which is most for the interest of all classes of the community—namely, to a cordial and thorough ;;‘Yid ural,r,tanding between landlords and tenant- farmers.— (Cheers.) With these sentiments, and an apoltgy for the lengt. , l of my observations, I beg to propose as a bumper toast, " Prosperity to the Liverpool Agricul tural Society."—(Loud cheers.) some such balano SIT N 9 SEPTEMBER 26, 1846, PRICE SD. agreed to serve in that place was that eeery colleague he had, every one of the 240 Members who acknow ledged him for their leader, should hold it, as their duty to assist heartily, and be prepared to take their turn at the labouring oar when his own strength failed. The example thus shown he believed had had its effect ; and when he saw how men of too great modesty, but of su perior ability, had been thus induced to come forward in the service of their" country, he trusted the example would not be lost upon many other men much younger, and others who were older than himself, to step forward and see if good and honest intentions, and a determina tion to maintain those intentions fearlessly, would not obtain for them that confidence in Parliament and in the country which they had been pleased t e e lavish on him. —(Cheers) Then this would be his boast, and what ever the ultimate result of the contest, it would be his consolation on his dying ctiy that he had stood forward to prevent the constituencies of qit . ,-napire from ser vilely permitting themselves to ine teienpled upon by a haughty, an arrogant, and an unprincipled Adminis tration.—(Cheers.) In that county, as in others, he was confident their were young men of talent and integrity of principle who felt they e owed a duty to their country, and who, taking an example by him, whose ability was,in nothing superior to their own, would be prompt to serve their country and avert that disgrace which must arise to England were she permitted to be trampled upon by an Administrationaltogether careless of principle and political honour. It would be in the recollection of all present that about teno'clock at night, just three months ago, Sir R. Peel had taken from agri culture the protection it was entitled'lto,ind thrown this country on the foreigner for its strOlifis4 And they had no doubt seen an article-lateli* one or the leading journals of Europe, and had withM*-admiltd the modesty •and the humility Witirwhicb, - tefp*Vee trade had been carried three months,• the mateo of , the free-traders had come scream a lets ' lug to them, the protectionisM vingWkti. how they Were prcpatato get Ireland ad 27f the scrape- into which free trade had plunged her. Without de manding a fee for his advice, herwould say thatZreland might still be saved from the calamity with which she was threatened, by clinging to the last plank of protec tion.—(Cheers.) In 1807 she was an importing coun try ; but owing to the encouragement of her domestic industry by British domestic laws, she had in the last few years so increased her production of corn as to be able to export to England wheat, oats, barley, and beans, to the extent -of 3,000,000 of quarters. The Times said there were 4,000,000 of people to be provided for, and that allowing to each one quarter of their own superabundant supply of grain, three out of the four millions would be provided for. But what if there had been no protection to Ireland in the shape of a corn-law, with a monopoly of the English market during the last forty years? Why, simply this, that she would be in the condition that distinguished her in 1807, of not growing enough for her own consumption; and, her potatoes failing, of not having any grain to fall back upon. There would in that case have been, not such a famine as the Times spoke of, when the warehouses of England and Scotland were loaded with grain, contain ing at Christmas last, above 1,000,000 of quarters, being 100,000 quarters more than at any former period of our history; but such a famine as took place in 1813 in Nor way, when dependent upon Sweden, the result being that in a single diocese 5,000 souls died of absolute starvation. The prophecies of the protectionists had been verified in a manner which present circumstances rendered particu larly striking. On the 30th of last March old red wheat fetched from 575. to 705., and on the 10th of August it fetched only from 48s. to 54s.—a fall in price which could only be explained by the fact of 2,000,000 quarters hav ing come into competition with British grain. As for the potato disease, observing that it was general, and that it attacked land that had never been broken before, as well as land which had been for many years used for the growth of potatoes, he could only regard it as a calamity similar to that of the cholera, and which, by the blessing of God, would last but for a short period —he hoped not beyond the present season. The pro tectionists had shown how Ireland might be supplied with food even in her greatest difficulty. He might be told that they had only provided for three out of four millions of the Irish people. He was assured by good authority that they might expect 2,500,000 barrels of wheaten flour, exclusive of maize, frem the United States of America ; but the wheat from which that flour was made bad been grown before the free-trade measures of the late Government were introduced into Parliament, and they had then exactly the same access to it as if those free-trade measures had not been passed.—(Hear, hear.) It was now proposed that Great Britain should feed Ireland. If so, what difference would it have made to the Govornment to have paid the duty with one hand, and received it back with the other ; or to have got grain at a less price by the amount of duty taken off?1:It was said that the present was a period of general scarcity on the Continent and elsewhere. Such were just the periods at which it was madnesi to make this country dependent upon foreigners. Sweden, Belgium, Sardinia, and Egypt, finding a scarcity last year, pro hibited the export of grain—taking care that perfide Al bion should not avail itself of any portion of their supply. The principles of Chatham, Pitt, Huskisson, and Can ning were quite consistent with this; so, until now, were the doctrines of Sir J. Graham, who had told them that the most foolish thing a great empire like this could do was to rely upon foreigners for its supply.—(Hear, hear.) Sir Robert Peel had said that foreign nations, not through a feeling of enmity, but actuated by a desire to protect themselves, would naturally enough prohibit the exportation of their grain to this country. In fact, every statesman, living and dead, including Lord John Russell, but excepting those of the Anti-Corn-law League, had been of opinion that there was no safety for a country like this in time of a general deficiency of harvest, unless by relying upon its own exertions and capital. The free-trader said that no sooner would their measures be carried than the artizans of England had only to open their mouths and food would flow into it. Now the duty of two guineas per ton upon potatoes had been totally removed in 1844, and yet no potatoes had been since sent to this country, although, owing to the failure in the growth of that article, there was now a famine in Ireland. They also said that the people would obtain higher wages and a larger loaf, but he doubted if the people of Stock port and Manchester would verify this prediction. Indeed, he had received communications froth Stock port saying that the wages had been reduced ld. a cut, or 10d. a week, and from Cole, stating a reduction of 3d. a cut. And yet the price of the loaf was no less—a fact which would induce the manufacturers of the country to believe that they (the agriculturists) had not deceived them, and that in mutual protection they would find their best prosperity. Sir Robert Peel, with his here ditary recollections of Manchester, had taken off the duty upon America raw cotton, by which our West Indian subjects were deprived of their protection of 5-16ths of a penny in the pound—a duty that amounted altogether to 68,0001., from which it was supposed the men of Manchester would be relieved, and which was only a trifle more than the amount which was annually levied on the income-tax, from the tenant-farmers of England. But Sir Robert Peel preferred the men of Manchester, and yet what had been the result of his attempt to serve them? On the Ist of July, 1845, the price of American cotton varied from to 4td., being an average of 3id.; it had since risen to from 3i-d. to 5&d., being a rise upon the average of more than 4d. per lb., so that America had absolutely pocketed the relief intended for the people of Manchester, to the extent of 680,0001. From this he might fairly assume that the manufacturers themselves would be disappointed with the prophecies of the free-traders, would soon believe that their confidence had been abused, and, before another general election, would be found joining the agriculturist in seeking for protection.—(" Hear," and a cry of the " Malt-tax.") Unless they were prepared to turn repudiators, like:Sir R. Peel' and the Americans —unless they no longer intended to pay their just debts, they - must find a revenue sufficient for all emergencies, and therefore the repeal of the malt-tax would imply the reinstating of those taxes through the Customs which had been removed or reduced. He did not hesitate to say that the malt-tax ought to be taken off, in preference to the duties upon timber, sugar, cotton, wool, silk, and a thousand other articles; and if they could not get those duties put on first, they must only see whether they could not have the malt-tax abolished.—(Cheers.) That once accomplished, the Government would probably in vite them to renew the Customs' duties, so that the re moval of the malt-tax might eventually prove the means of recovering their lost protection to native industry. They had been defeated in their endeavours to maintain that protection by 112 gentlemen who had been returned to Parliament to defend, but who, instead of defending, had betrayed the interests of their constituents. He trusted that the people of England would be true to themselves at the next election, and never consent to be come the slaves of their representatives.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) Mr. NEWDEGATE, M.P., proposed the " health of Lord Stanley and the Peers who, in the House of Lords, supported Protection to British Industry," who, though told that adherence to principle in them was calculated to bring the two branches of the Legitslature into colli sion, still, feeling confident that the feeling of the peo ple was the same in 1846 as it was fin 1841, persevered ; and though for a time unsuccessful, had shown a noble example to the country. Lord Ste nley had especially distinguished himself in the cause of protection to Bri tish agriculture; his speech in the Hieuse of Lords placed the question on its true footing, at id furnished an un answerable argument to the fallacies of the free-traders. The result of free trade in its full a Lpplication would be a great reduction of the value of la, hour and property throughout the country; and while the abolition of the corn-laws, by reducing the price corn, would ruin the farmer, it would deprive the cm entry, in seasons of scarcity, of its only safeguard agai ast famine.—(Hear, hear.) Then the bonding system, by which England had been made as one great free port a, nd the depot for the world, could not continue under t he operation of free trade. Merchants would no lenge r have any induce ment to store their corn here ; ai , would go to other countries; and when seasons d f scarcity arrived, the cost of transit would add to the difficulty of relieving the wants of the people.----( 'Hear, hear.) Under the operation of free trade he b e lieved the maximum average price of corn would be 4C it ;. The price of corn in New Orleans was 245. 6d., the , cost of transit here was 10s. ; and in the Baltic, prey ions to 1839, the price was 285., the cost of transit to f his country about 7s. or Bs. ; so that, had there; been n 41 duty, we might have imported the whole surplus . production of those coun tries at about 355. or 365. a quarter. The Honourable Gentleman quoted Dr. Johnson in favour of affording encouragement to the natural production of any country as against mere commerce, and M. Guizot on the import ance of forming and maintaining a grand party for con stitutional purposes—the constitutional system, accord ing to that statesman, consisting properly of a governing party and an opposition party, each having definite prin ciples, and an understood system, each system being brought into drily discussion, and c instantly placed in opposition to the other ; and concluded a very long speech, in which he was constantly interrupted by an audience so impatient and unruly that the chairman's efforts and the toastmaster's (O'Toole) entreaties and gesticulations for silence were wholly unavailing, by proposing the toast, which was drunk amidst loud cheers. Lord RAYLEIGH, in returning thanks, eulogised Lord Stanley, condemned Sir R. Peel, assured the protec tionists that their cause was by no means desperate, and advised them not to be again humbugged. When once a famine should come, and the manufacturers found the result of free trade in corn, there would be no more difficulty in re-enacting the corn-law than there had been in enacting the income-tax, which was a much more unpopular impost. The remaining toasts were " Sir J. T. Tyrell and the other Members of Parliament for the county " " The Ch'airman"—" The Members for the boroughs in the county"—" The Protectionist Members of the House of Commons"—" The Yeomanry and the. Committee," but the noise and confusion which prevailed rendered all attempt to report the principal speeches made in pro posing and acknowledging them abortive. The party broke up at about ten o'clock. LORD STANLEY AND THE AGRI CULTURISTS OF LIVERPOOL. The dinner of this society was held, as usual, at the Jargp room of Lucas's Repository, Great Charlotte street, on Thursday evening.. About 300 sat down, which was considered a much better attendance thaifthat of last year. Mr. Charles Chalk, of St. John's-lane, acted as caterer on the occasion, and the tables were liberally supplied with everything that could contribute to the enjoyment of the company. The chair was occu pied by Lord Stanley, and at the principal table were the following gentlemen, amongst others :—Mr. John Ireland Blackburne ; the Hon. Edward Stanley, son of the chairman ; Mr. 11. Littledale ; Mr. Robert Neilson ; Mr. Weld Blundell ; Mr. Richard Blundell ; Sir Richard Brooke, Bart. ; Mr. Alderman Griffith ; Mr. Councillor Parker ; Mr. Alderman James Lawrence ; Mr. Richard Brook ; Mr. Hardman Earle ; Mr. William Eccles ; Mr. William Grierson ; Captain Morgan ; Mr. Bartho lomew Bretherton ; Mr. Gilbert Greenhall ; Mr. William Rawson ; Mr. William Heyes ; Mr. Philip Whiteway. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, Lord STANLEY rose, amidst loud cheers, to propose the principal toast of the evening. The Noble Lord spoke nearly as follows :—Gentlemen, it now becomes my duty to propose to you a bumper toast. I propose to you to drink prosperity to that society whose anniversary you are now met to celebrate, and whose progress, from very small beginnings and by very gradual steps, to its pre sent advanced stage of prosperity, I have had the satis faction of witnessing through the period of sixteen years during which I have had the honour of filling this chair as president.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) I had hoped, when I had addressed you last year, that before this time we might have effected a combination with another and a sister society in this country, by which the means of usefulness of both, by which the sphere of emulation of both—which is the means of usefulness—might have been considerably extended. That arrangement has not been brought to a conclusion. Unforeseen impediments have for the present, prevented it ; but I trust that it is for the present only, and that before another year has expired those difficulties may be surmounted, which have hitherto prevented the union of the Liverpool and Man chester Agricultural Societies.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I address you at a period of no small difficulty to me in my present position, and of no small anxiety to the agricul tural interests of the country generally.—(Hear.) I ad dress you at a period when it has been thought right by Parliament to withdraw that legislative protection, or at least to make provisions by which that legislative protection shall shortly be withdrawn, which the agri cultural interests of this country have hitherto en joyed. And I address you also at a period when it has pleased Providence to visit this country and the greater, part of the civilised world with a mysterious visitation, in the almost entire failure of crop essential to the maintenance and support of the poorest portion of the community.—(Hear.) But, gentlemen, these are topics upon which, here, I can hardly dwell. I cannot speak to you of the measures which it has pleased Parliament to adopt, for several reasons. First, that it is a wise and judicious rule of this society that it should exclude from its discussions everything that can lead to political dissension or political differences of opinion ; next, that it is yet doubtful, and it remains to be proved, whether the change which Parliament has decreed is a change which will be sanctioned and made perpetual by the feelings and opinions of the community at large.— (Hear, hear.) Thirdly, the operation of this measure has not yet come into effect—(Hear)—for I need not tell those that I am addressing that at this time, and for the next two or three years, there still remains a duty of 10s. per quarter upon the intr Auction of foreign wheat. Lastly, I will not speak upon this topic, because whatever may be, even ultimately, the operation of this Legislative measure, its even partial operation has been, in a great degree, counteracted and im peded by other and temporary causes. The enormous —I will not say the exaggerated, I will not say the dan gerously large, but I will say the unprecedentedly large —amount which is now being invested in various specu lations and in various works, tends unnaturally to raise the price of labour, and, consequently, unnaturally to increase the demand for provisions, at the time when that very visitation of Providence to which I have re ferred presses upon this country and upon the Continent. Therefore, even were I not precluded, as I am, from dwelling upon this topic, and upon the legislative mea sures which have been passed, by the rules of this so ciety, I should be precluded by a consideration that the effect of those legislative measures—if legislative mea sures they are ultimately to be—must stand the test of time. This, alone, I will say, that, having expressed in another place, where it was my bounden duty to express it, my opinioe, unhesitatingly and unreservedly, upon the policy of those measures, the wisdom and the sound ness of that opinion remains yet to be tested by time — (Hear, hear)—and no man will rejoice more than I shall, if the apprehensions I entertain should be found to be unfounded or exaggerated.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Nay, more, gentleman ; no man, in his sphere and position, shall do more, by increased exertions, to render those apprehensions less founded than I believe them to be.—(Hear, hear.) I also must abstain from offering to you, gentlemen, any observations upon the almost general, I may say the universal, failure of the potato crop—a failure so universal, not only in this country, but in every part of these united kingdoms, that in passing, about ten days ago through the city of Edinburgh, I was assured there had not been exhibited for sale in the market of Edinburgh a potato for at least ten days or a fortnight.—(Hear, hear.) I shall not dilate upon this topic, for the best of all possible reasons, because I know nothing about it.—(Hear, and a laugh.) I believe if all the most learned men in Europe were to make an honest confession, the result would be that they knew no more about it than I profess to know.—(Hear, hear.) They know it is general, they know that it is fatal, ;most dangerous in its tendency, and most lamentable in its effects. , But as to its cause and origin, as to the mode of preventing or palliating the evil, there are many different opinions; but none of them have stood the test of experience, and none of them can be pronounced upon with the smallest degree of cer tainty. Gentlemen, Ido venture to hope , notwithstand ing, from indications which came in a remarkable manner unde my own cognizance, some three or four years ago, when I had the honour of holding the office of Colonial Secretary, that this visitation will not be continuous.— (Hear.) I was applied to at that time from the distant island of St. Helena to consult well-skilled persons in London as to a mysterious disease which had there broken out three years ago. I say nothing of the uni versal prevalence of disease in the potatoes. I believe— and I trust the fact is so—that the disease does not owe its origin to any permanent failure of, or deficiency in, the root itself, but to some extraordinary atmospherical influences ; and that, as it has been the will of Provi dence to afflict us with this visitation, so we may look forward, with a humble confidence, to the withdrawal of the visitation by the act of the same Providence, against which, it at present appears, no human skill or foresight can guard.—(Hear.) I am the more led to entertain this conclusion, because I feel that those among us who are practical farmers will see, in the course of the present year, whether it be from atmospherical influ ences or not, that other crops are similarly sdFected, though not to the same extent as the potato crop. I regret to say, in this county, and I hear in other districts, the tur nip crop is also, to a great , extent, a failure. Even in the gardens—l do not know whether any of you will have remarked it—there is an extraordinary disease, similar to that in the potato , exhibited upon a mall scale in the celery beds, the leaves being spotted, black, and withered, and the plant itself rotting in the same manner as in crops of potatoes and turnips. Ido not pretend to offer you any observations upon either of those two topics which are yet matters of the deepest baterest to those who, like many of you, are engaged as practical farmers in cultivation. I rather turn to see what advantage we can derive from the amount of misfortune ; and it will be no small advantage to one part of this empire, and I will venture to say even more—no small advantage to this part of the country in which I am now speaking, if the uncertainty, or rather the general, failure of the potato crop shall lead the farmers—sin:ill farmers espe cially—to rest their attention and their trust less exclu sively upon potatoes as a green crop, to :the exclusion of many others that might be adopted.—<Hear and ap plause.) I think we have in this country, and I know it to my cost as an Irish landlord, relied too extensively upon the cultivation of the potato. That sole stay fail ing, distress has grievously increased. I recollect the time when it was confidently declared that the turnip would not grow in this country—that the soil, climate, and I know not what, were so adverse to its cultivation, that to expect . to grow turnips was looked upon as the height of absurdity. I will now venture to say, that, take the district of this society througha ut, there is no district in England-which, with proper cultivation and proper attention, will yield a more remunerative—per haps there is hardly any one which will yield an equally remunerative—return, in crops of turnips, than the dis trict comprised in the limits of this society.—(Cheers.) In the course of this evening I shall have to read to you instances in which—what do you suppose? Two-and twenty, five-and-twenty, six-and-twenty tons? No; but nine-and-thirty, and forty-three tons of .Swedish turnips per acre have been produced by farmers in the limits of this society. I believe that with proper skill, proper attention, and with proper draining e -(Hear, hear)—soil of a great part of this district will become_ eminently calculated for the growth of turnips, which it was thought would not grow here at all; and more, that the general moisture of the climate of this country,.f tv . vourable as it is to some descriptions of produce, is emi nently favourable to the growth and the extension of turnip crops. Therefore, I think it wiil be deriving " goad oat of evil," if we can, out of the effects of the general failure of the potato, lead the farmers of the country to turn their attention somewhat more to turnip cultivation than has hitherto been the case.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, in addressing you upon the prospects and position of this society, I feel that while there is yet much to be done, there is still much upon which I have a right to congratugate you. In the first place, you are free from debt.—(Hear.) Your expenditure has not ex ceeded the means upon which you can annually rely. In the next place, your subscriptions, and the number of your subscribers, and still more, I am happy to say, the interest taken in the operations of the society, are annually and most satisfactorily upon the increase.— (Hear, hear.) I know not, gentlemen, what was the im pression produced upon any of you who were present at the show-yard this morning, but I will candidly confess, my impression, upon entering the yard, was a feeling of disappointment 'at the smallness of the as sembly there collected, That, perhaps, was the impres sion of some of you. They say you may prove anything by figures.—(hear, hear.) One thing, at all events, may be proved by figures. If a certain number of per sons on entering the yard pay a certain sum the amount collected is a pretty fair test of tae number of persons in the yard.—(Hear, hear.) Last year the money taken at the doors of the yard was 631. odd ; this year it was 1031., being an increase of no less than two-fiths upon the gross amount received last year, although, from the enlarged size of the premises, the number of persons appeared comparatively insignificant, and, no doubt, de ceived many, as it deceived me, as to the interest taken in the exhibitions.—(Hear, hear.) I had also another feeling of disappointment, which I will confess, for upon these occasions I speak to you candidly and without re serve, for I never flatter you. I speak my impressions plainly. They may be worth nothing, or they may be well founded. But my impression of to-day's show was that there was not that improvement in the general exhibition which I should have been desirous of observing. The pigs, no doubt, were magnificent. I do not think I have ever seen a better supply of that article, which, indeed, has always been of very good quality in the show-yards of this society. But lam sa tisfied, with regard to many others, the best as.imals were not seen in the show-yard. I am satisfied, for instance, there are many better horses in this country and in this neighbourhood than were exhibited to-day. With re gard to sheep the case may be different. We are not yet a sheep-growing country. When we become more a turnip country, perhaps we may then have better sheep; but at present we cannot say much for them. I never saw—though I may be corrected in this by the judges — so uneven a lot of bulls. There were some very inferior animals—some most miserable wretches.— (Hear, hear.) I think I have often seen a better average lot. One cir cumstance I know, which in my mind outweighs, in the import and inference which it conveys, the general merit of the show—l mean the superior quality generally of the stock exhibited here, not by landlords, but by te nant-farmers.—(Hear, hear.) I cannot pass through this country—l cannot go through the fields—and, in the ordinary pursuits of life, I cannot pass from one part of the country to another, without noticing much, within the last ten or twelve years, a decided, a marked, and a great improvement in the general breed of cattle.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) I am sure the tenants have paid more attention to it. I am sure it must be supposed it is more economical and wise to have the best, rather than the worst, breed, and I see those wretched, raw-boned, tough-hided, long horned bullocks, which I was familiar with in my in fancy, gradually making way for a superior description of cattle. I allude, with peculiar pleasure, to one cir cnmstance—a circumstance new in the annals of this society, and I believe uncommon in the annals of any — that the first prize for the bulls of one description was gained by a tenant-farmer against all the landlords in the society—a tenant whom I name to his credit, Mr. Atherton, of Upholland.—(Hear, hear.) I say that in stance shows that in the rearing stock the tenant farmers can compete, and successfully compete, with landlords and wealthy proprietors. This is at once an incitement to other tenants to aspire to the same im provements, and a most gratifying proof that the minds of the tenant-farmers are set upon those exertions which will certainly lead to ultimate improvement.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") If I look round upon the state, not of the show-yard to-day, not of the farming stock, but of the cultivation of this country, I see, as all of you moat see, marked and general improvement. I see in every quarter old and useless and rubbishy fences disappear ing. I see straight lines taking the place of crooked lines. I find narrow but effective fences taking the place of broad, extravagant, expensive, and, at the same time, imperfect fences.—(Hear.) Aye, gentlemen , and I find throughout the country the farmers finding the wisdom of putting down drains which will carry off very rapidly that flood which is now falling down upon us. (This allusion was to a very heavy shower of rain which was falling at the time.) I do not doubt the draining powers of those who are sitting underneath the torrent which is falling down.--(Laughter and cheers.) In one sense, and at this hour of the night, it appears our pre decessors and the wisdom of our ancestors must have had some advantages over us in the way of draining, that is to say, in the way of draining " potations pottle deep."—(A laugh.) But of this lam quite sure, that I see in every field, or at least upon almost every farm in my own knowledge, the most gratifying proofs that the farmers of this country are convinced of the necessity, and more, of the economy, of deep and thorough drain ing; and that they are satisfied that there is no bank in the world in which they can so well lay out their own money, and that of the landlord, as in their combined exertions—(Hear)—upon the land which is the property of the one, and in the beneficial occupation of the other for the time being.—(Hear, hear, and applause.)—But, gentlemen, although I do see great improvements, I will not say there is not room for much more. Our motto, as farmers, ought to be, " Think nothing done while aught remains to be done."—(Cheers.) I may be told, and I have no doubt I shall be told with some authority —I do not deny the fact—l think that a very great and general fall of prices must have a tendency, so far, to check agricultural improvements, as to render it unad visable upon some soils to expend large sums in further improvements. But I believe this—that where it is worth while to cultivate land at all, it is more worth while to cultivate it well than to cultivate it ill, and that , good farming will be found more economical and more satisfactory than bad farming, which some of us, by-the bye, have not yet quite got ridof.—(Hear.) There is one truth I should wish to impress upon you. This is not a time to make long speeches. lam perhaps making a longer one than I ought to do at this moment.—(Cries of " No, no.") This is not the time to enter upon a long discussion of the merits of respective systems of draining, or upon whether drains ought to be so and so deep. In point of fact, the depth of the drains, and their distance from each other, must be dependent upon the character of the soil and the nature of the sub-soil. I believe, upon the average of the soils of this country, drains, parallel drains, about three feet deep, and from six to eight yards apart, will effect every purpose. Of course, the distance between the drains must depend upon the porous or tenacious quality of the soil; and I have no doubt there is great truth in that which is said by the advocates for very deep drains (four feet instead of three), that it may have a certain economy, because the additional depth enables you to draw the water from a greater surface, and the smaller number of drains you have to put in will compensate for the additional outlay required for making them of the greater depth. Of course, however, this is a matter that has to be regulated by the particular circumstances of each individual farmer. All I contend for is this—there is no farmer who has a right to complain of the state of his land who cannot show that in this wet climate and tenacious soil he has done his best to carry off the superfluous mois ture from the roots of his plants, or if, having seen by experience the success that attends these operations, he is devoid of enterprise and spirit. Nor can he complain of being replaced by another more enterprising com petitor if he does not follow the examples of im provement set him, which have proved to be so practically beneficial to those who have adopted them. Ido not think I am required to say much more about draining off superfluous moisture ; but there is one subject to which I should wish the farmers of this part of the country to turn their attention. 1 see in the draught report which has been put into my hands, and which is to be printed by the society, " that of all the crops produced; the most abundant has been that of weeds, which have flourished 60 extensively, as to baffle the efforts of the most active and industrious." —(A laugh, and " Hear, hear.") I have no doubt about this. Of course, it is not necessary to say that, in a certain sense, the growth of weeds may cause more trouble than any other crop; but this I will say, that the general state of cultivation in this country with regard to cleanliness of the land is a point that requires particular attention, for it is open to obvious and just animadver sion. The farmers do not appear to be awake and alive to this plain fact, that the ground can only afford nourish ment for a certain amount of produce, and that every thing taken from the nourishment of the crops in the shape of weeds is injurious to them. I believe it really would be a wise provision, if it could be introduced into the lease, that every farmer should have his rent in creased in proportion to the amount of weeds upon his farm—(A laugh)—inasmuch as by such extravagancies the amount of rent he would be able to pay would be so much below what he would if the land were properly cultivated. I recollect a gentleman in Northumberland, who could not get some of his tenants to remove the mole-hills. "Very well," he said, "I shall take a fresh measurement of them ; I shall measure all the mole-hills up-hill and down-hill, and charge for the superficial area of all I find."--(A laugh.) If we could strike PORTSMOUTH,.

FRIDAY, SEPT. 25.—The Recruit, 12, iron brig, Com mander Slade, got:under weigh this afternoon, at half-past four, and sailed for Devonporr, working out round the eastern end of the Isle of Wight, a contrary wind pre venting her going the usual route. The Myrtle, steam dispatch boat, Master Commander Balliston, came up from the westward this afternoon. The Plover, surveying vessel, Captain Collinson, sailed last evening for Woolwich, to be paid off. The Ajax, 56, steam guard-ship, was docked yesterday to complete for service. The Victory, 104, Captain Pasco, hoisted the Rear- Admiral Superintendent's flag at her mizen this morning, that officer having returned from Admiralty leave.

The President, 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Rear- Admiral Dacres, Commander-in-Chief on the Cape of Good Hope station,- sailed from Simon's Bay for the Mauritius and Madagascar on the Bth of July. A pri vate letter, dated the 7th, states, " Money is very scarce at the Cape; the Government are offering 6 per cent. for money to enable them to carry on the war. We shall not return to the Cape for five or six months. We have sent for our marines on the frontier, and also our men who have been doing garrison duty at Cape Town. All con sumable articles continue dreadfully dear. We are now paying for butter, on account of the Kafir war, 2s. 6d. and 3s. per lb. for salt; and 4s. and 4s. 6d. for fresh; and all other articles are equally expensive. It is enough to ruin any mess." In Harbour—The Excellent gunnery-ship, Captain Chads, bearing the flag (pro tem.) of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief ; the Victory, 104, Capt.
