TH OMAS SAUNDERS, Compveller. THE BUDGET.-SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC assured them of his desire to take every measure that might at any time be in his Power to promote the views and wishes of the society on this subject. Since that in terview, the council have resolved to offer, in addition to their current prize of 501., for an essay on the geographi cal discovery.of now supplies of guano, a prize for the dis covery of a substitute for Peruvian guano, under the fol lowing terms : " TEIVIIS OF THE PRIZE.—One thousand pounds and the gold medal of the society will be given for the discovery of a manure equal in fertilising properties to the Peruvian guano, and of which an unlimited supply can be furnished to the English farmer at a rate not exceeding 51. per ton. " The council have already reason to believe the atten tion which this prize will call to the whole economy of manuring, and to the agricultural as well as sanitary ques tion of the manurial resources of the kingdom, will lead to new and important results.' The council, after full deli beration, upon the amended conditions, proposed to them by their veterinary committee, and which have been ac -cepted by the college, decided last mouth to renew the grant of 2001. for the current year to the Royal Veterinary College. " The council have had their attention called by his Royal Highness Prince Albert to the process of inocula tion, so extensively carried on at the present time in Prussia, Belgium, and the Netherlands, with a view to modify - the severity of the symptoms of pleuro-pneumonia in cattle. In consequence oK the information furnished by hie'Royal Highness to the council, they authorised Pro fessor Simonds, as the veterinary-inspector of the society, to proceed to Belgium, in August last, for the purpose of making himself personally acquainted with the facts con nected with the conditions and results of the employment of this process. The report which Professor Simonds has made to the council on this visit, of inspection will appear in the next part of the society's Journal,' along with a second report on the occurrence of pleuro-pneumonia in the extensive herd of dairy cows belonging to Mr. Paget, of Ruddington Grange, near Nottingham and which that gentleman has with great liberality placed at the disposal of the society for any experivisits the council may direct to be made on them. ' - • - " The country meeting of the society at Lewes in July last was in every respect satisfactory, excepting in the number of visitors, which, although amounting to 18,000 in the show-yard, and 500 at the pavilion dinner, was only one-half of the usual number. This comparatively deficient attendance, however, was owing to peculiar circumstances, over which' the society had no control; namely, a remote locality , unusually oppressive heat, ana a general election going on throughout the country at the very time of the meeting. " The council have decided that the Gloucester meeting for the South Wales district shall be held in that city in the week commencing Monday, the 11th of July, and they have received from the professore at the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester, the offer of co-operation in any way by which their services may be thought, by the council, best to promote the objects of the society at the Gloucester meeting." The following is the portion of the report referring to the admission of live stock at the country exhibitions of the society : "In order to consider the most effectual means of ob viating the over-feeding of live stock for breeding purposes exhibited at the country meetings of the society, the Earl of Dude, as its late president, undertook, after the Lewes meeting, the task of entering into communication with the greater number of those gentlemen who had acted as judges at the former country meetings of the society, and the greater majority of their opinions being in favour of de cisive measures to put a stop to an evil so generally com plained of, a committee was appointed, who have made the following recommendations, which have been since adopted by the council : I. To appoint three juries of condition for the three di visions of (1) cattle, (2) sheep, (3) horses and pigs ; each jury to be drawn by lot by the steward of each division from the whole of the judges comprised in it, and to con sist of nine judges and one steward : the steward himself not to vote, but to take the decision in each case by a show of hands, the majority of votes to decide. " The following notice be p r i n ted in red ink at the foot of each certificate of entry, namely, All animals sent for exhibition which shall, in the opinion of the jury, be in an overfed condition, will be disqualified by the jury for in spection by the judges :' and a placard to be placed over the standing of every animal that shall be so disqualified, stating the reason of such disqualification. "3. The age of bulls in the two classes of each division of cattle, not two exceed four years and two years respec tively, on ehe Ist of July in the year of show for which they are entered. "4. No bull in Class I. of each division of cattle to be eligible for a prize, unless a certificate is produced of his having served not less than three different cows within the three months preceding the I st of J uno in the year of the show. "5. No alteration to be made in the limit of age for cows ; but that every cow in milk and not in calf must be certified to have had a live calf within the twelve months preceding the date of the show. "6. No heifer entered as in calf to be eligible unless certified to have been bulled before the Ist of March in the year of show, and not to have been again in bullin g subsequently. to that date ; nor her owner afterwards to receive the prize unless on the production of a further cer tificate that eshe has produced a live calf before the Ist February ensuing. " 7. No cattle or sheep to have been fed with milk sub sequently to the Ist of. Januarx.in the year of the show. 8. No boar or sow to be shown that cannot walk on account of over-fatness." In conclusion the report states : "The council have the continued satisfaction of referring to the successful manner in which the practical operations of agricielture are directed_by improved principles gradually adapted to each particular case by an extended knowledge of conditions, and of witnessing the same spirit of improve ment that has so long sustained and encouraged the Society in the prosecution of its objects, now animating other agri cultural communities in every part of the civilised world, and leading them to find their mutual advantage in friendly , communication and the interchange of scientific and prac ticid resultn." The total receipts for the year were stated to be 6,1371. 135., and the balance yet remaining in hand, 2,8221. 19s. 6d. The adoption of the report, moved by Mr. CHARLES TowNLEY, and seconded be the Rev. JAMES LINTON, was, after a short discussion, agreed to. The thanks of the meeting were voted to Messrs. Dyer, Barker, and. Knight, the auditors, who were unanimously re-elected ; also to Professors Way and Simonds, the consulting chemists of the society, to whose exertions a high-merited compliment was paid by Mr. Torr and Mr. Jones, who moved and seconded the vote of thanks. Lord CAMOYS moved, and Mr. DEUCE seconded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, Colonel Challoner, who returned thanks, and the meeting broke up. attack before a small section of his least intelligent constituents, on Mr. Disraeli—a man of universally recognised genius—suggests the image of a dograis- - behaving itself at the pedestal of a lofty statue ' • and there we leave Sir Benjamin, wit h the eye of the literary police upon him, and the assurance of sum mary treatment if he dare to repeat the nuisance. We sincerely recommend the unthinking occupiers of houses between .201. and 101. to ponder well the: serious consequences of what they are being per suaded to attempt to refuse to' bear their reason able and moderate share of the national burdens. They would open wide the eyes of the immense classes beneath them to the irintolerable selfishness ;, and let once that feeling get Abroad, and who shall allay the'revolutionary tempest it would raise? Who. could then resist the clamour for universal suffrage to counteract the selfishness of some nine hundred JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—No doubt Sir Charles Wood's was a very fair speech, but so it ought to have been, for nobody is so an fait at mending budgets as he is. All his own have been thrown back on his hands,, and he has usually spent the whole session in lick ing them into shape, Hence the particular appro priateness of his recommendation to Mr. Disraeli to take back his Budget and mend it. Sir Charles has suffered persecution and learnt mercy. The heroic principle of " standing or falling by a bud get " would react unfavourably on his own finan cial career, and might also be inconvenient at a future time ; so he very considerately suggests to Mr. Disraeli to do what he has invariably done without fatal consequences. Perhapi - he might have carried his magnanimity still further. He might have felt it was utterly impossible for any scheme of financial revision to escape severe criti cism, much less to be satisfactory to all parties. Indeed., we need not look back on the ex-Chancel lor of the Exchequer's own career for an example. His Friday's speech happens to contain, what is rare in criticism, some suggestions of a positive character. From them we may gather that, were he now in office, he would be prepared to recom mend an entire remission of the protective duties on foreign timber, just such a mode of handling the tea duties as Mr. Disraeli advises, and also his proposed relief to the shipping interest. Those three measures make up, in bulk, a respectable budget ; and when to them are added the extraor dinary-votes in, which both sides agree, -amounting to three-parts of a million, there would, on Sir Charles' cautious principles, have been no more room for remission of taxes. But what' would have been said to such a budget by the great bulk of the working population ? It certainly would have been no boon to the agricul tural labourer, who drinks little tea, builds no houses, and has no ships. But if we mistake not, it would have been voted ridiculous by all parties, for all would have asked why so respectable a sur plus should be muddled away in che a p enin g tea 4 e . a pound, and relieving ships, foreign as well as British, of some charges which at least fall more naturally on them than on other interests ? We should have Sir Charles' Budget dissected and probed and confronted with all sorts of terrible sta tistics, till the worthy baronet himself had become ashamed of his own offspring. We may be mistaken, but to us there seems no difficulty in understand ing the rationale of Mr. Disraeli's Budget, whatever its practical demerits. The key of it all is the re peal of the malt tax. He has treated that as a consumers' tax, the remission of which would be popular with the agricultural interest. That seems to us a fair view of the tax and the re mission ; and we have often shown in these columns that, as more malt liquor, and stronger liquor, is consumed in towns than -in the rural districts, the boon would fall at least as much to the towns as to the country. But no one can think of the matter ten minutes, or read a page of any financial authority on the subject, without admitting that the grower's permanent share of the boon must be very small indeed. As a consumers' tax, and one long complained of, it is a fair subject for reduction. Undoubtedly malt liquor is too dear in this country, and too much in the power of the brewers ; and let the teetotallers protest as they will, a glass of beer will generally do a working man more good than a cup of tea, and is certainly much more wholesome than spirits or wine. But supposing it to be desirable to remit a tax of more than 5,000,0001. on the chief drink of the working classes, then come the questions when to do it, and how to do it. These questions are by no means so easy as some would suppose ; indeed, if we are to wait for a perfectly good opportunity of striking 5,000,000/. off our income, then the year A.D. 2000 will find the malt tax untouched. There will never be a natural surplus of nearly that amount. If, then, the tax is ever to be repealed, one of two things must be done : either the remission must be by instalments, or an artificial surplus must be made by the imposition of new taxes, which of course would be direct taxes; One of these two things must be done ; or, to adopt a third course, the two must be combined—that is, a moderate surplus must be made by some small additions to, other taxes, and the malt tax reduced by large in stalments. That is the course which has been at tempted in the present instance, and, in short, some such course is absolutely necessary to the repeal of the malt tax, if it ever is to be repealed. Mr. Disraeli has taken half the tax, and it would have been madness to attempt more. Even that amount involved the necessity of adding somewhat to other taxes. The tax selected for increase has been the inhabited house duty. Sir Charles Wood ought not in candour to object to this increase, for in his own original scheme of the inhabited house duty he made it produce as much as the old window duties, - viz., a commutation of the existing window duties at two-thirds, and 700,0001. from other houses to be taxed 5 per cent. on their annual value. Sir Charles was only beaten out of this proposition by the complaints of those who found they would have to pay more than they did. before; and no one could have been more disappointed than he was at the miserable compromise to which he was pushed at last—the paltry 700,000/. obtained by the present inhabited house duty. Mr. Disraeli proposes to rectify that very bad bargain, and to get nearly as much by the house tax as Sir Charles wished to get. The natural result is that he has brought on him self the very same clamorous opposition that his predecessor met and succumbed to ; and Sir Charles has shown a disposition to shield his successor from a repetition of his own defeat. So much for the proposed addition to the house tax, indispensable to the reduction of the malt tax. But what has tea to do with the malt tax? It has much to do with it. Considering that many hundred thousands in this country who drink tea, and not malt liquor—oon sidering the religious feeling which extensively pre vails against intoxicating drink, and, more than all, the demands of our merchants and.manufacturers de pendent on the China trade, it would be out of the question for any statesman to propose a reduction of the malt tax without also dealing with the tea duty. Thus, three of the portions of the budget hung together, and are one for the sake of the other. As for the income tax, it was only renewed for one year in 1851, and again in 1852, expressly in order to a readjustment on more equitable principles. A majority of the house demanded such a readjust ment, and Mr. Disraeli has now attempted to satisfy that demand. Indeed, he had no alternative but to make such an attempt. Taxation, hoWever, is not a matter of theory or of justice, but of demand. Mr. Disraeli and his colleagues have consulted all the proper authorities except one, and that is the people. Whatever may be said for a repeal of the malt tax, it will never be practicable till the con sumers have really come forward in mass and d e manded it, as the consumers of bread demanded a repeal of the corn laws. For one reason or another, there is no such agitation on this point, though one m ight have thought that every pubhc-house would afford a nucleus for it. But while the con sumers of malt liquor seem content with old prices, the class threatened with the en largement and extension of the house tax is perfectly obstreporous. What is to be done when, of two competing interests, one asserts its rights vigorously, the othe r does nothing ? In a country governedby public opinion there seems little or no choice but to give way to the demand , which expresses itself. We hav e said, that there is no real agitation for a repeal of the malt tax. It is true, that a small clique of farmers and agents asse mble annually to pass resolutions in favour of that repeal and to get up a few petitions ; but besides their insignificance, the very ground on which they proceed is wholly inadmissible. They treat the malt tax as an.agri cultural grievance, which it is not, and w hich even Mr. Disraeli now a dmits that it is not. We want the petitions not . of farmers, but of consumers, against not of cliques, but of the million. If the million don't want the tax off, there certainly is no reason for losing 2,500,0001. a-year to . the revenue, and en tailing the necessity of filling up the gap with new and unpopular taxation. Unless Mr. Disraeli thinks he will have the people a little more on his side, he had better follow Sir Charles Wood's ad vice, take back i his Budget, and spend the Christ mas holydays n reconsidering it. From no one does that advice come so gracefully and so forcibly as from Sir Charles ; and, proceeding from him, there can be no humiliation in accepting it. HERALD.

The masses—the labouring classes—have been placed by Providence in a posi tion which makes taxation of them at once cruel, absurd, and wicked. They cannot bear it, and they will not bear it ; yet the . unreasoning class immediately above them are to be supposed to have clothed themselves with the franchise for the purpose of saying, "We will reap the benefit of that franchise, for we will take care not to allow our representatives to subject us to any tax ! No, we will tax those above us, both directly and - in directly ; and those beneath us indirectly, in a - way which they shall feel, without any means of re dressing the injustice !" The shopkeepers's returns are quick and sure ; he is well cared for every way ; modern legislation has been indeed all in his favour and yet he is ungrateful enough and short-sighted enough not to see that lie is trying .to gain a shame ful advantage and immunity at the expense of his humbler customers, already ground down into the earth, and scarce able to pay their little way as it is ! We say shame on you ! You bind heavy bur dens, and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men't shoulders ; but you yourselves will not move them with one of your fingers. But we rejoice iu being able conscientiously to express our opinion, that good sense and honourable feeling among the great majority of this class of our fellow subjects are likely to render nugatory the spasmodic efforts of a few parochial and Parlia mentary leaders of faction. We peremptorily insist upon it, that the sober feeling of the country is settled already into an approval and' acceptance of the very best budget that has been offered to it for many a long year; and if so, the opponents of that budget might as well try to - whistle against thunder. Had the budget proved so outrageously absurd as fools hoped to have seen —that is; framed on the model of that of Sir Charles Wood, a similar fate would have awaited it. A real and irresistible opposition would have displayed itself in a trice—the big heart of the country, the city of London, would have beat in dignantly, and sent its hot streams of excitement boundinc , through the provinces. But it is not so with the'Eart of Derby and Mr. Disraeli, as their enthusiastic reception at the Guildhall, on Wed nesday last, testified pretty. conclusively. Under these circumstances, what can equal the calm as surance of that broken-down financier, Sir Charles Wood, who advises his successor to "take back his budget !" naively adding, " You need not be ashamed to take back your budget !" That is, " I did so with mine, and felt no hesitation; so be it with you!" Well might the house cheer and laugh at this unexpected sally. Thus concluded the im penetrable baronet:—" Nothing can be so bad as the budget now proposed, by which you sacrifice our revenue without benefiting any one, and at the same time imperil our direct taxation, tamper with the credit of the country, and tarnish your fame as statesmen with the country !" Cuckoo! cuckoo! Only to listen to Lord John and Sir Charles! But people don't and won't; and we look upon it that the budget, subject to any such modification as the Government may think reasonable and consistent with their honour and responsibility as Ministers to adopt, is already the law of the land. The debate on Friday showed the merest imbecility and cross-purpose work on the part of the Opposition that ever was seen ; not a true point was made against the budget through out the night, and the temper and spirit of the house indicated that the thing was really, to use a military phrase, disposed of. We protest that we did not see an argument used on Friday that was worthy of serious attention, as against - the general policy and equity of The budget; but we will say what we are hourly perceiving indications of the country's satisfaction. All parties see that all parties have been honestly and prudently cared for, as far as was consistent with the safety of our financial system, and that the policy of the Go vernment is just and enlightened, and in strict accordance with the spirit of the age. More and more plainly are seen now the hollow and worthless characters and professions of those who have been loudest in their clamour of what they called free trade ; and in the success of the Conservative budget will assuredly ere long be seen the igno minious extinction of that little knot of political vipers which has so long been writhing before the apprehensive eyes of the public. Conscious, how ever, of their own honesty and strength, Lord Derby's Government is proceeding steadily and rapidly in the right direction, and already grap pling with administrative difficulties which have daunted all their predecessors. This has been fairly admitted both in and out of Parliament by the most frank and independent opponents of the Go vernment ; and we feel satisfied that the factious opponents of the Government already feel them selves compromised and embarrassed by the extent to which they disclosed at once their wish and their inability to trip up the heels of an able and united Government, without the faintest chance of any Ministry being found to fill their places. But we warn these gentry not to reckon without their host. There is a point beyond which the country will not tolerate ; and its eyes are wide open to the , profligacy of attempting to precipitate a crisis, in order that, amid the sudden " confusion worse confounded" which may be contemplated, the re volutionary party may steal an advance, attended with irreparable disasters to the country, and a Cobden and a Bright be seen grinning at the gen tlemen of England from the Treasury benches ! But there would be no grinning on 'Change, be lieve us !

He has got He offers considerable reductions without solicita tion, but he gives so much that he is at last obliged to take, and what he takes appears so much morethan what he gives, that people ask him to give nothing at all, and to leave matters as they were. As the taxes stood when Mr. Disraeli came down to the house they were sufficient to satisfy all national obligations and leave a handsome surplus into the bargain. He volunteered reductions until this surplus became a deficiency, and was then compelled to increase taxation again. As it hap pens, too, his reductions are not believed in, while his additions, though defensible enough on prin ciple, are disagreeable in the eyes of some classes and gratuitous in the eyes of others. Meantime it is difficult to see where to begin, for if there is no taking off there need be no putting on, and people are clearly of opinion that the putting on will more than counter-balance the taking off. Let us see if we can simplify the question. The great reduction is that of half the malt tax ; the great addition, that of a double house duty ; and this duty is rendered peculiarly obnofxiloousi in some quarters by its extension to houses ttin o aside per annum, heretofore exempt.

To create novelty for a festivity so ancient requires some degree of ingenuity. and to introduce fresh sources of comfort and enjoyment claims more than ordinary talent. For a great number of years novelties in Dress have been an important item in Christmas preparations. What, then, must be the amount of skill possessed by those artists chose introductions are new on each recurrence of this festivity? It is those only whose success has long been the admiration of all c'asses, and whose seasonable productions have gained lasting celebrity, who can provide articles of ATTIRE worthy of universal patronage. The DRESS prepared for Christmas by E.

M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, M a triculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorer Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired aro here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic th ose at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

BOYA.LA.GRICUIrTUR,Aft SOCIETY OF • ENGLAN . The annual meeting of the members of this society was held on Saturday at the Society's Rooms, Hanover square, for the purpose of receiving the report of the council, and for the transaction of the ordinary business. Colonel Challoner, in the absence of the Duke of Rich mond, occupied the chair. Among the persons present were—Lord Camoys, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Mr. Townly, Mr. Torr, Mr. Grissel, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Raymond Bar ker, Rev. James Linton, Mr. Crisp, Professor Way, Professor Simonds, Mr. Edward Bullen (late Secretary of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland), &c. &c. Considerable interest attached to the proceedings of the meeting, in consequence of the report of the coun cil embodying the recommendations of the committee with respect to the regulations under which live stock should be allowed to compete at the annual exhibition of the society. For some time past the council of the society have felt that considerable alterations were called for in refer ence to their annual exhibition. Established originally for the purpose of encouraging the improvement in the breed of animals, the shows have of late years consisted almost exclusively of over-fatted beasts, and the objects of the society have thus been diverted to merely encour aging the feeding of animals for the butcher rather than improving their breed. The consequence has been the t aged animals, useless f or breedin g purposes, have, y use of milk, meal, oil cake, and similar descriptions of food, been fattened up to a great weight, and have car ried off the principal prizes of the society. Young heifers have upon the same mistaken principle been fattened for the purposes of show, utterly regardless of the future value of their breeding qualities, many of those which have taken the larger prizes not having afterwards given birth to a single live calf. The evil of overfeeding has also been manifested in the almost total concealment of the natural forms of the best breeds of sheep and cattle, and the great difficulty of arriving at a correct opinion of their merits. In addition to this it has been for some time a subject of general observation and of regret that many of the best breeders of stock have refused to send their animals to the show, as they knew there would be no chance of their obtaining a prize when put into competition with fatter animals, and they have declined to sacrifice good breeding qualities to mere feed ing capabilities. In order, therefore, to prevent the judges awarding the prizes of the society to animals whose merits consist rather in their value to the butcher, or in too many instances to the tallow-melter, than in their qualifications of breed, some very useful regulations have been drawn up by the council. The principal of these regulations are that no bull shall be exhibited above four year of age • and in the case of heifers it is necess ar y , in order to qualify any one for the prize, that she shall have produced a live calf within the previous twelve months ; such prize is not, however, to be given until it has been duly certified that she has produced a live calf before the month of February next after the exhibition, and " juries of condition" are to decide upon the a,dmissibility of the animals. These regulations, without excluding animals of good breed having a natural propensity to fatten, will effectually shut out stock valueless for breeding purposes, and thus tend greatly to improve the character and to increase the practical utility of the country meetings of this useful and valuable society. Some little opposition was shown to the new regulations by one or two persons present, and, as in the case of all measures of reform, some pre diction of :‘ the evils likely to result from so dangerous a step" were indulged in ; the good sense of the ma jority, however, and the evidently practical and useful character of the recommendations of the council ob tained for them ultimately the unanimous approval of the meeting. The following is an abstract of the report of the council, submitted to the meeting by Mr. Hudson, the secretary : " Since the last general meeting in May, 45 members have been lost to the society by death, and the names of 82 others have been removed from the list on retirement or otherwise ; while 80 new members have been elected during the same period. The society accordingly now consists of 91 life governors, 149 annual governors, 720 life members, 3,955 annual members, and 19 honorary members, making a total of 4,934. In the list of deceased members on this occasion, there occurs the illustrious name of the Duke of Wellington, one of the earliest governors and v i c e-presidents of the society a , who, though not himself a practical f a rmer, took lively interest in everything tending to develop the re sources of his country. The council receive with satisfac tion the testimony of the members to the still increasing value of the society's journal, and to the immediate and extensive influence resulting from the almost simultaneous transmission of the copies, free through the post, to the numerous members of the society diffused throughout the kingdom ; as well as to that secondary and loca ti l influenstate ce arising from a knowledge of th e facts and praccal ments in its pages, personally communicated by each mem ber to other parties residing within the sphere of his own particular neighbourhood. The chemical investigations continue to be steadily pursued by Professor Way, with valuable results obtained at each stage of his inquiries, leading on step by step through the labyrinth of nature's operations to new discoveries of the machinery by which she works in secret, and to the prospect of entirely new applications in the economy of agricultural laws for the cultivation of the soil and the manuring for crops. The council have on former occasions reported to the society the communications- in which they have been placed with the Foreign-office in reference to the question of a reduction in the price of guano. They have now to re port that they appointed in June last a deputation to wait on the Earl of Derby, the Prime Minister, for p u rpose of representing to him the great importanee of ever y means being taken to effect this object.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and 111.11.UMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout In my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and M Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief , and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few day s I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have c eased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, bat on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "GARRET FOSTER GILL.

The half-yearly meetitg of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland was held in their rooms, Upper Sack ville-street, Dublin, on Friday —Lord Talbot de Mala hide presiding. The report of the council for the half year ending the 10th December, congratulated the society on " the progressive improvement of agriculture through out Ireland, and the cheering prospects generally pre sented of the marked aad varied development of the in dustrial resources of the country ;" and as an evidence of this gratifying change, the report remarks that two hun dred new members have joined the society during the past year. With respect to the society's show, which takes place in liillarmy next summer, it is anticipated that it will prov e eminentl y successful, the improve ment made by the council upon the premium sheet, and the increase of the premiums offered. The report then refers to the change made in the rules of the society, whereby tenant -farmers are to be admitted members on paymen t of 10s. per annum, and remarks that it "is likely to be attended with much success, several tenant farmers having already applied for admission." The re port concludes by stating that the financial condition of the society i s improving, a larger c o ll ec tion of subscrip tions having been made than in any year for some time past. The Lord-Lieutenant, who is a vice patron of the society, has become a subscriber of 101. per annum. IMPORTANT MEDICAL AND SURGICAL WORKS, Just published, by 11.

A SELF-ELECTED BISHOP. On Wednesday, the Ist instant, the election of a new Bishop of St. Andrews. Dunkeld, and Dunblane, in the room of the late Bishop Torry, took place at St. James's church, Cupar Fife. A previous election had taken place, whereat an equal number of votes were given by the clergy present in fa vour of the present Bishop of Moray and the Rev. Charles Wordsworth, warden of Tzinity College, Perth shire. Consequently, a new election was obliged to be held ; when the Rev. Dr. Suther, o f Edinburgh, was proposed as a candidate, in opposition to Mr. Words worth. The latter gentleman (who is a brother of the Rev. Canon Wordsworth, of Westminster, and a nephew of the late Poet Laureate) was elected by his own casting vote. The supporters of Dr. Suther, conse quently, have drawn up a protest against his election, and the matter will be referred to the Scotch Episcopal College, awaiting their final decision. STATISTICS OF EHICRATION.—A Parliamentary paper gives a great deal of information on the subject of emi gration. From the document it appears that there are 14 persons holding fixed situations under the Land and Emigration Commi ss ioners. The largest salary is 8001. a-year, to the secretary, and the lowest 551., to one of the messengers on the establishment. There are besides 42 extra clerks and a boy, exclusive of emigration agents, assistants, and clerks. It would seem that the business of the n commissioners has greatly increaed. received, the month of Jue, 1850, only 1,564 letters were being at the rate of 62 per working day ; and 1,765 let ters dispatched, being at the rate of 71 per day ; whereas in the same month of the present year the letters re ceived numbered 18,910, or 727 a day ; and 12,184 letters were dispatched, or at the rate of 468 per day. There are 31 selecting agents, who have no fixed salary, but are paid by fees on all emigrants between the ages of 14 and 50, selected by them who may be approved by the commissioners, and ultimately proceed to the colonies in one of the commissioners' vessels. No fees are paid on children under 14 years or on per sons over 50. For each married cou p le the fee is 11., for each unmarried woman 10s., and each unmarried man 7s. In the last two years ending the 30th of June, 136 ships chartered by the commissioners sailed, of which 31 went to South Australia, carrying 7,036 Fromgrants (children being re ckoned as "one-half.") the Ist of July, 1850, to the 30th of June last, the re ceipts by the commissioners were 807,3101. 14s. 2d., and the payments 441,0151. 198. 6d.

'a e% I.' Cl u can 'be perfectly evident that no such objectio sustained against a house tax of a better descrip tion, producing only 1,723,0001., or some 100,0001. less. The proposed house duty, therefore, would not be simply as a house duty, compared with other duties, unfairly or extravagantly assessed. But is its extension to houses of 10i. value a wise or just proposition ? We unhesitatingly say it is so. If all persons should be taxed accordiAg to their means, there can be no reason why the means of any person should ,be exempted. There is no reason, indeed, :why a line should be drawn at 10/. or at 51., or even at 505., except that the tax would prove impossible of collection. Of late years we have had an energetic if not a ~e neral movement in favour of direct as opposed to indi rect taxation. A Liverpool association hill been advocating the levy of the entire national.revertue on this principle exclusively. But in so f:s:.tlie application of direct taxation is lesS universal than that of indirect, it confiscates Ihrileails f of - those whom it reaches for the - I.i ~_ 't of those whom it does not reach. Ever* ,. .,, y can discern and recognise the cumbersome pre and costly machinery of collection to which ndireet taxation give rise, but they - who desire ti). super sede • this system cannot possibly do their cause more damage than by exposing the deficiencies of the only system which can succeed it. 'The chief argument for indirect taxation is, that by no other process can you raise taxes at all from a large class of the community, which, like all other classes, owes a contribution to the State in proportion to its means. Show that direct taxation can be ex tended as widely and as effectually as indirect, and a case for its substitution is in a great degree made out ; but if exemptions of such classes as even 10/. householders are contended for, it will be clear that " direct'!,taxation, in the mouths ofthese-advocates, means nothing but taxation of a few for the advan-, tage of the many. As to the particular class in question, there cannot be a doubt of their amena bility to the impost on all principles of financial justice and constitutional equity. If taxation'4vith out representation is tyranny, what is representa tion without taxation ? But though the case is really thus far without a doubt, and though a house duty, and especially an extended house duty, con stitutes a tax perfectly unexceptionable, its amount must be ultimately determinable - by the exigencies of the State alone: When the public revenue re quires a contribution of only 6d., no person, either on his house or any other property, need pay Is. And the public revenue at present does certainly not require this ls. contribution, nor will it, unless certain alterations are carried into effect, for the 6d. contribution satisfied all demands and left a surplus. The question, therefore, is obviously one of profit and loss. Shall we accept an - obligation to gain a reduction ? Shall we double our house taxation to get rid of . half the malt tax, with a prospective relief of the same, kind in tea ? It has been ver y naturally suggested that a somewhat smaller class than the whole community have been concerned both in the proposition and the solution of this question, and that the Malt tax is reduced for the sake of the " country," while the equivalent is exacted from the " town." This point, however, we need not raise, for Mr. Disraeli himself propounded his plan susbstantially in the interest of the " consumer,"—i. e., the public at large. "By the manner," said he, "in which we propose to deal with the malt tax, we benefit largely, as we believe, the consumer ; but in doing that, we think that incidentally—and that was only a secondary purpose—we are giving great facilities to agriculture." If, therefore, the main object—the satisfaction of the consumer—is not obtained by the change, it cannot of course be advocated for the purely " incidental and secondary purpose" of creating the "facilities" referred to.' What, then, do the consumers say ? They appear to be saying that, while the new taxation will prove undoubtedly bUrthensome, the corresponding relief will be no relief at all. Unless the whole duty on malt, and with it all the vexatious and expensive machinery of the Excise, can be abolished altogether, it seems to be believed that no advantage will be realised except by those who are just now thought to be realising quite enough already—the great brewers. Moreover, oven the " secondary purpose" itself is .treated as 'little less delusive, for hundreds of a,grie . culturists maintain that the removal of the malt duty will leave them exactly where they are. Un der these circumstances, then, what are we to con clude ? Apparently : this That the house tax is .a4N4111-iwtx ; that the extension of its area is un doubtedly defensible ; but that the doubling the rate, as it is plainly not called for by any present necessity, can only be justified by a better prospect of equivalent profit than the halving of the malt duty would provide. DERBY ELECTION COMMITTEE. The committee met on Saturday, at the usual hour, she excitement in the corridors and lobbies adjoining the room being as high, and the number of persons in at tendance to endeavour to learn something of the pro ceedings as great as on former days. A medical, practitioner from Derby, was the first per son called in and examined. He stated that he had seen Radford at Derby, and that it was impossible for him to attend in consequence of illness. His state of bodily health was such that it was not likely he would recover. Morgan was then called in and examined. He stated that he went from Shrewsbury by Frail's directions, who gave him a letter to Major Beresford, and told him to follow the instructions in the letter. Frail also gave him the sum of £2. He went to Derby and arrived there about three o'clock in the afternoon. He went to the County Tavern, and sent in his card to Cox's. The first man he saw after he sent in his card was Radford. He afterwards saw Flewker. He corroborated the cor rectness of the statements made as to his employment with regard to the payment of men upon checks, which he thought was for a legitimate purpose. He gave 2/. each to the people who brought the checks. He was aware that there was a man at the door to prevent anybody entering but those who had the checks ; but he did not know thb.t he was engaged in an illegal em ployment. He stated, further, that the money was brought to him twice, in order to pay those c h e cks, by a man dressed in drab ; and he subsequently stated that the man in drab was Flewker. He said that all he had told the policeman before was false— he had done so because he did not feel bound to tell the policeman the truth. Although he had told the policeman falsehoods, he had no supposition that he was engaged in any illegal work ; and he thought the money which was given him, and which he paid away, was for a legal pur pose. He did not see anybody but Radford and Flewker in the matter, and denied having seen Lund. The only point that now appears left for elucidation is the identity of "the man in drab." The landlord of the County Tavern was called, and stated that he saw Lund at his house on Wednesday night, and that he was dressed in drab. He also saw Flewker in the house for some time, and he was dressed in black. Flewker has been in mourning for the last four years. ' The committee then determined that Lund should be sent for, and also the Coxes and Frail, who was too ill to attend to-day, and the proceedings were then ad journed till Wednesday next. 0 I 1 , 7 I HOW WILL THE IRISH DIVISION n Both the the Nation and the Tablet of Saturday, contain letters from their respective editors, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Duffy, now attending their Parliamentary duties in London, which show that they are by no means deter mined as to the manner in which they arc to vote on the budget now under discussion in the House of Commons. In a communication under the head " Party Prospects," Mr. Lucas says :—" I cannot help thinking that, if the Irish property tax part of the scheme were withdrawn, the rest of the budget is one Almwh et imembe the Irish r of our p ar ty might very f airl y support. eetng of Liberal members is summoned for Friday to consider this point, and it is better, therefore, that I should ex press no o pinion until I have heard the reasons that can be alleged on each side. But I feel w su h r a e t that g the time is now come for ascertainin Ireland is to be got out of the English Liberals," morning, Mr. In a subsequent letter, dated Friday Lucas, discussing the course that ought the "Irish party" on the budget, say to be ri taken by present time we have received nothing, B--" -13 to the thing, from the Liberals ;that. after absolutely no s mot receiving from us good service on Villiers' t i . on, they have absolutely deserted us on the land ques lon, - and have left us to fight our own battle unaided, ties shamefully abandoned -there is no denying — there us. There is no mistaking plain fact, and the inference can be no evading this is irresistible that we shall be great fools or great traitors if we throw ourselves away on such hollow and rotten friends. Wbat then shalla m we do to-night 11, for one, very strongly inclin e d no t t o oppose the presen t bud g et ; and the h ouse t ax , which is especially distasteful to the worst, the most fanatical, th e most selfish, and the most corrupt enemies of Ireland (such men as the 101. householders of Marylebone, of whom Sir Benjamin Hall is the leader—l say that lam strongly inclined not to oppose it without having so me very good Irish reason for taking such a course." Mr. Duffy, in a letter to the Nation, after referring to reports of a Coalition Ministry, embracing Lord J ohn Russell, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Cobden, says :—" Thank God, such a Ministry could not stand a week against the will of the Irish party ; and, methinks, without Crawford's bill, it will not be an easy task to soothe some of the men who ' stand no nonsense.' I cannot undertake to foretell what the Irish party will do under the circumstances of the case ; but I am tolerably sure they will seize their opportunity between a tottering Government and an eager Opposition impatient for place, to obtain -what they can for the country." , -,, 1-`'' ' ~1 I ■
