National and commercial interests require that the Im perial Government and the merchants of Great Britain should be placed in direct and independent telegraphic communication with the Western Hemisphere. Experience proves tha' the scientific and commercial success 9f Ocean Telegraph must depend on two conside rations-Ist, the nature and construction of the cable ; and 2d, the expense attendant on its working. This Company has secured the exclusive right to use the well-known cable and system of deep sea telegraphy, per fected and patented by Mr. Allan, between Great Britain and America, which effects a saving of about 33 per cent. on first cost, with about 50 per cent. extra working powers as compared with others. The cable, from its peculiar principle of construction, smallness of bulk and weight, renders the carrying and submerging it a simple mechanical operation comparatively without risk of injury to its electrical integrity, for ocean depths and distances. The object of this Company is to establish telegraphic communication between London and New York, the two great termini or centres of telegraphic communication in the Old and New World, by submarine line or lines from Falmouth, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, the inlet to all the tele graphic lines already in operation on the American Conti nent, thus organising a telegraphic communication between Great Britain, the Canadas, British Columbia, and America generally. Although the Directors are satisfied that, with the sys tem of cable adopted, the direct line from Falmouth to Hali fax could be safely and satisfactorily laid, it is proposed, as a measure of prudence, to carry out th e es t a bli s h men t o f Transatlantic Telegraphic communication, in the first in stance, by a less direct route ; and to construct, firstly, the section from England to Oporto, the length of cable for which distance will be about 600 miles, and would be highly remunerative in itself ; it will also fully demonstrate the practicability of safely submerging and working this form of cable in ocean depths. The length of cable from Oporto to Flores, one of the Azores, would be about 900 miles, and from thence to Hali fax about 1,400. Thus this route has the great advantage of its longest unbroken distance being only 1,400 miles. As it is perfectly certain that one line will not suffice for the expected traffic, the next may be carried direct from Falmouth to Halifax. About £600,000 will be required to complete the com munication to Halifax, including incidental expense; and the following is an estimate of what may be calculated upon as a return for that outlay:— Estimating the cost of a message at 80s., and the transmission at the low rate of 15 mes sages (not exceeding 20 words)per, hour, and assuming 20 hours to the working day, the aggregate receipts for the year would am oun t to .£438,000 Deduct cost of management., &c. OR.. 58,000 Would leave a net profit of Deduct 20 per cent. on capital to be placed to Reserve Fund _ 120,000 Will leave £260,000 equal to a dividend of 43 per cent. on the estimated con struction capital. The two unsuccessful attempts of the Atlantic Tele graph Company place them in the following comparative financial position with this Company : First cable totdl lost Capital £500,000 Second cable £700,000 Bonus if laid with success 137,000 837,000 New cable proposed to be laid Bonus if laid with success 100,000 600,000 ---- .Z 1937,000 Allan's cable estimated cost to Ame r i ca Should the Atlantic Company be successful in recovering the second cable, and succeed in laying a third, they would have to pay dividends upon upwards of three times the capital of this Company ; or one cable must pay dividends on the cost of three, to say nothing of the difference in expense of working. _ It must necessarily follow that this Company, being able to adopt a much lower tariff than the Atlantic Company, would always command preferential and full employment. The payments for the licence are £lO,OOO, out of the capital for the first section, and 5 per cen t. in fully paid-up shares on the future capital as raised, together with a royalty of 10 per cent. on the net profits. Said royalty not to take effect until the net profit§ exceed 100 per cent. A provisional contract has been made for the construction and submerging of the first section of cable, from Falmouth to Oporto, including all expens es i n f orm i ng th e C ompany up to the allotment of shares, for the sum of £130,000, and the contractors stipulate that they shall receive 1,500 fully paid-up shares in part of same. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares, with statement of Allan's system of Ocean Telegraphy, can be had at the offices of the Company, or at the Brokers, whore the Articles of Association and specimens of the cable may also be inspected. Especial care has been taken that the Articles of Asso ciation agree with the Prospectus in every particular.

Each appears on his own hobby, buoyed with hope, and flushed with the assurance of triumph. Yet there are appalling difficulties and perilous chances in a rasping fence at the start. How many of our friends have, alas, fallen at the poll ! How many of our enemies have succumbed at this first trial ! It is, indeed, a pleasant thing to find oneself after all on the right side. (Cheers and laughter.) But those who clear this fence soon find that they have a hard country to ride over. Many give way in Parliament, wearied and disheartened at repeated obstacles in their course. Few maintain their speed. (Cheers.) Fewer preserve a straight line. (Cheers and laughter.) Some can not ride at all; others have no endurance; some have heavy hobbies which crash through obstacles but are with out speed ; others sail along quickly, but without judg ment. It is, however, a rule of the political world—there was an instance of it at the meeting of the British Associa tion—the slow ones invariably say that the fast ones are being run away with. But when the end arrives, what have you got ? A very ill-favoured vermin in the one case; in the other, weariness, disappointment, anxiety, and ill will. (Cheers.) Let us pass from the calamity of members to the murrain of cattle. The first recorded instance of the disease in this country was, I believe, in the year 1714. In the year 1745 it occurred again, and lasted at that time four teen years. It appeared again in 1769, in 1774, and in 1781. During all this time it seems to have ravaged different parts of the Continent. The visitation of 1745 was the only serious one for us; the others were quickly stamped out, because the Government and the people had learned how to deal with it. The Government took the strongest measures. Orders were issued from the Privy Council to kill all the infected cattle, and to bury them on the spot. The importation of cattle from infected districts was also strictly prohibited. The various theories as to the origin of the disease are very immaterial. It is sufficient for us to know that it is identical with the Russian murrain or typhus ; so that the experience which has been gathered in those countries is available for us. What course of proceeding has experi ence taught? Firstly, the strictest isolation of diseased cattle. A cordon is always imposed on the frontiers of the countries which border on a plague-stricken country. In 1837 the murrain escaped from Russia into Prussia ; it was confined by such a cordon, and quickly exterminated. Malta cannot maintain nearly as many cattle as are re quired for the population, the garrison, and the navy. They have, therefore, to import ; they must import, moreover, from countries which are infected. But they keep the cattle for three weeks after importation in strictest qua rantine, under the eye of an inspector. In this way an immunity from disease is secured. It would not be well to stop importation either in Malta or here ; but it would be well to enforce a quarantine. This principle is recognised in the 14th rule of the Hunts association. The second requisite is to remove all predisposing causes. The cow sheds in town are both stuffy and filthy. In some places in the country they might possibly be cleaned. (Hear, hear.) Fresh air and cleanliness are as necessary for cattle typhus as for human typhus. Thirdly, Dr. Budd states in his pamphlet that this murrain is like the small-pox and typhoid disease, in that the patient cannot catch it a second time. Has inoculation been tried by him ? It was greatly used in Pomerania in 1767, and in the Netherlands in 1774, and it was found to succeed. There is a serious question which has to be considered. In the former mur rains of 1714, 1745, and others, the government paid for every diseased animal which was slaughtered and buried. In the provinces of Austria which border on Russia the same is done. Why should not this be done here ? (Cheers.) It will be objected that the interference of the government will induce carelessness in killing or curing. Well, then, let the nation pay only half the value of those beasts. In the Irish distress what sums of money were axpended to help the Irish people. In the Lancashire distress the government were not slow in coming to the assistance of the factory operatives ; let them be as ready now in favour of the farmers. (Loud cheers.) It may be objected that the consumer already pays in the increased price of cattle. This is a gain to the importer— the farmer is not thereby recouped for his losses. (Cheers.) Cattle are not imported in your interest. (Loud cheers.) Therefore, let the consumers pay the half, or else the wealthy will utterly escape. (Cheers.) One word; more. The murrain is now ravaging our plains ; the typhus is rampant in our cities ; the potato disease has appeared in Ireland ; the cholera is coming to England. We must re move the causes—impure air and impure water—and let us , not be oblivious of the First Cause of all and of the object with which these plagues are sent. (Loud cheers.) Mr. TILLARD then proposed "The Health of the Borough Members," which was received with great enthusiasm. General PEEL, who was received with loud cheers, said, Gentlemen, I can assure you that both my hon. colleague and myself derive great pleasure from attending these meetings. When they are held at St. Ives or St. Neots we feel that we are almost intruders. (Cries of " No, no.") But when the meeting is held in the borough of Huntington we consider it our duty to attend and express the great in terest we take in everything which can promote the in terests of the agriculture of the county of Huntingdon. (Cheers.) With regard to the present meeting, I have no doubt it has suffered from that complaint which must naturally affect it, but in point of quality I do not think you could have had better cattle. (Cheers.) I do not think your horse show comes up to the mark, and I do not think a county which has produced the winner of the Derby ought to be satisfied with such a show, and I trust that we shall have better shows for the future. (Hear.) It is impossible to address an agricultural meeting without alluding to the cattle disease. I have read most atten- tively all the correspondence which has taken place on the subject. I do not know that it is a matter of great importance where the disease proceeded from, but I went to the Russian ambassador for information, and he posi tively assured me, and gave me certificates which con vinced me, that in the place from which certain cattle had been sent to this country no disease of the kind ' exists. I now hold in my hand these certificates, the peru sal of which is at the service of any gentlemen who may wish to see them. (Hear.) Mr. Fellowes has alluded to backwardness of some parties in insuring stock. I think the only way to meet that point will be to raise the price of your insurance if the disease should make its appearance in the county. (Hear, hear.) However unpopular my opinion may be, I always speak out honestly, and I must say that I cannot agree with my noble friend (Lord R. Montagu) that the subject should be considered a national one, and that the people of this country should be called upon to pay for the loss of cattle. I say trust to yourselves, and not to the nation. Insure yourselves now when you can. The consumers already pay very highly in the shape of the increased price of meat and milk, and those who do not suffer might insure their stock to any amount. But there are many who pay taxes who are not consumers of meat ; and with what justice will you come and say to them, we will tax you to pay other gentlemen's losses ? (hear.) This may be a very unpopular notion, but it is the doctrine which I should hold in the House of Commons, and I certainly could not support my noble friend if he made any such motion as that which he has suggested ; and I think it most desirable at once to express my opinion on the subject. (Cheers.) The following are the documents to which General Peel referred relative to tho importation of Russian cattle:— CERTIFICATE (Translation). "By request of the parties concerned I hereby con scientiously testify that in the preceding years, as also in the present year, being 1865, when Captain Russell, of the British steamer Tonning, loaded from Revel, bound for Lowestoft, 321 oxen, 331 sheep, and 3 horses, that here, in the province Estonia, a perfectly sound state of health prevailed amongst the cattle, and that in no part of the province a cattle plague or any other contagious disease had made its appearance, much less had the slightest trace of murrain (rinderpest) existed. (Signed) " W. A. MAASSEN, First Veterinarian of the Province of Estonia. Revel, 11th August, 1865." " This is to certify that the above signature of Mr. W. A.Maassen, first veterinarian of the province of Estonia, is his own handwriting. (Signed) "ARTHUR GERARD DE SOMANTON, H.B.M. Vice Consul. "Revel, the 11th (23d) August, 1865." CERTIFICATE (Translation.) " I, the undersigned, hereby certify upon my honour and conscience, that in the province of Estonia no kind of epidemic or contagious disease reigns amongst the cattle, or has reigned during the preceding years ; on the con trary, the state of health prevailing over the cattle flocks is unusually favourable, insomuch that individual spoilt- dical illnesses, such as have been prevalent in former years, is this year seen scarcely to have appeared ; at least nothing of the kind has come to my knowledge. (Signed) "BERNARD, Baron UxijuLL, Chairman of the Agricultural Society of Estonia. (Signed) "R. DE BREMEN, Secretary.

M. Vice Consul. Revel, the 16th (28th) August, 1865." CERTIFICATE (Translation.) 3 In consequence of a request made by the Lord Governor of EAonia, dated the 13th of August, 1865, No. 2,103, for a certificate concerning this question, namely, whether in the course of the year (1865), from the 3d (15th) of May to the 11th (23d) of May, when 321 oxen and 321 sheep were brought here and shipped by the British steamer Tonning, Captain Russell, from the town of Revel to England, in this town or in the province of Estonia, any kind of epizootian or contagious disease prevailed or not ; the imperial Board of Health of Estonia declares that /a z/c. PRICE 4d., S TAMPED 5d.; neither in this year nor in the preceding years has any kind of contagious disease existed amongst the cattle or sheep in the province of Estonia, nor at the present time does any such illness exist; consequently it is quite evi dent that the cattle received here from the 3d (15th) of May this year, and shipped from Revel on the 11th (23d) of May, could not be in any way affected by a contagious disease or plague.

Ulrich, Governor of Estonia, is in his own handwriting. (Signed) "ARTHUR GERARD DE SOMANTON, H.B.M. Vice Consul. " Revel, August 23 (Sept. 1)." Mr. T. BARLNG, who was loudly cheered, said—However ignorant I may be of agricultural proceedings, I have always great satisfaction in attending meetings like the present, because I feel that the lasting prosperity of every country depends upon the prosperity of its agricultural population. (Cheers.) There have been in old times, and throughout the history of the world, societies, towns, and populations, which have risen to prosperity in com merce, and have fallen and become insignificant peoples. There have been, no doubt, many circumstances which hindered the industry of manufacturers, and the pros perity of commerce ; but recollect that commerce and manufactures aro regulated by various changes in the system and conduct of the world—that the manufac turer may for cheaper labour transport his machinery and his capital and his industry to other countries ; that the merchant may transport his capital to any other country where he thinks he may derive a greater benefit from its employment. The money may fly to any part of the world on the wings of a bill of exchange, but where can the agricultural population fly ? Can the owners of land put their acres in their pocket and walk away ? Hear, hear,) Rely upon it that ever country owes its stabi lity to the prosperity of the agricultural population ? (Cheers.) I .have not a word to say against commerce, because I have laboured in it during my life, and from it I have achieved the position which I now occupy. (Cheers.) Commerce and manufactures are, no doubt, great hand maids of prosperity to every country—but combine the three—agriculture, commerce, and manufactures—and with these and the enterprise of British labour and British industry the country has become what it is. (Cheers.) I say, therefore, that it gives me - great satisfaction to wit ness the existence of societies like this ; because, however, industrious or however enterprising a man may be to him self, if the results of his industry are confined to his house, to his parish, or to his district, although these results may be beneficial to himself, the real value of them is unknown to his neighbours and the country at largo. (Hear, hear.) It is the stimulus which these exhibitions give to the exer cise of industry and to the promotion of enterprise, that I look very much to the great increase which has of late years shown itself in the agricultural produce of the coun try. (Cheers.) It seems to be the opinion of Mr. Fellowes that it would be well if you turned your attention and la bour almost entirely to the produce of live stock. I trust, however uuremunerative cereal crops may be now, we shall never see this country totally abandoning the cultiva tion of wheat. (Cheers.) I believe that by combining the cultivation of cereal crops with the produce of stock you farmers can alone attain the position which you ought to hold. My noble friend (Lord R. Montagu) wishes the Government to pay for every animal that is to be killed, but if the Chancellor of the Exchequer were asked to do so very few would be killed, for there would be a reluctance on the part of the Government to issue orders for such pay ment. (Hear.) But you cannot incur any great expense whether for the relief of the country at large, or any por tion of its inhabitants, without saddling, not only others, but zourselves, with an increase of taxation ; and if you were - to enforce on Government any great payment for this plague, you must have an increase of the income tax, or ,seine other mode of taxation must be devised. (Hear.) We are all more or less interested in this visitation Ido not believe there is a single individual in this country who will not suffer with you from this plague. (Hear.) I do not think you would wish the country at large to pay for every diseased animal. (Hear, hear.) I confess, when I see that there is no knowledge of the origin of the disease—no posi tive recommendation as to any remedy, I think we ought to treat it as we should any apprehended calamity or visi tation which might affect human beings. (Hear, hear.) What then should we do ? Everything calculated to pro mote disease under ordinary circumstances should be re moved. Cleanliness should be enforced ; sewers shOuld be cleansed; wholesome food should be given, and all possible disinfecting remedies should be applied. I cannot help thinking, whether the disease be contagious or epidemic, much may be done by watchfulness and cleanliness on the part of the owners of cattle to arrest its progress. Several other toasts were given and responded to. Riot at Market Drayton. MARKET DRAYTON, Wednesday. On Monday and Tuesday morning most disgrace : ful scenes were witnessed in the usually quiet town of Market Drayton. It appears that some prehmi ' nary proceedings with respect to the proposed in troduction of the Local Government Act gave rise to an extraordinary demonstration on the part of the populace. The meeting, however, was adjourned until Monday last, when a large meeting was again held at the Corbet Arms Hotel. The chair, as be fore, was taken by the Rev. A. H. Bull, and the proceedings, which were of an orderly character, lasted about three hours. The proposition for in troducing the act was negatived by nearly the entire room, a few hands only being held up for it. Dur ing the time the discussion was going on a rabble of somewhere about 1,000 persons, principally of the lowest classes, but including many who ought to have known better, were making a disgraceful row in front of the Corbet Arms, and pelting the police with stones. Several of them were severely in jured. Many passers-by were also struck, and a great number of panes of glass were broken. The police of the district has been reinforced in conse quence of the threats of the previous week, but the whole force consisted only of a superintendent and 10 men. These, of course, were per fectly powerless among such numbers, some of whom were armed with heavy bludgeons, and although the police once or twice drew their staves they behave with most praiseworthy forbearance. It was not until nearly twelve o'clock that the streets could be cleared. On the following morning similar scenes were enacted. The police, who had slept at the Lion Inn, were assailed on leaving that place by a mob as large as had assembled on the previous night, men, women, and children taking part in the melee. This time they were supported and en couraged by men calling themselves respectable, some of whom incited the rabble, saying " Pitch into the bobbies," and using such like expressions. The police proceeded calmly e on their way to the station, where they took refuge until the time of the departure of the train, when they all got at once into the guard's van, a volley of stones:being thrown at them as they entered, two of started itwasstruck fol lowed the guard. Even after the train had by a great number of the rabble, who con tinued to throw large stones at it as long as it could be reached. Several of the police were much in jured, though not seriously. On Tuesday morning an attack was made on the Town Court-house, both rear and front, and all of the windows thoroughly smashed in. Sergeant Smith and Lewis, police officers, who were taking shelter inside, escaped to the dwelling-house of flthe former, an d f ear i ng what m i g h t h a pp e n, bar ,eaded the door with furniture, large stones, &C. They al so t oo k in a large quantity of stones. Towards four o'clock the mob, to the num ber of 500, surrounded the house and attempt e d t o make their en t ra nce, but by dint of throwing out stones on the mob, the officers managed to defend their position for five hours, when the mob retired. The sergeant above-named got out by the back and telegraphed to the chief constable at Shrewsbury, and assistance was at once promised. A telegram was also sent to Manchester, and a strong detach ment of the 64 th Regiment a rr i ve d i n M ar k et Dray ton at five minutes to two o'clock yesterday morn ing. At a quarter past ten a strong detachment of the Shropshire Constabulary also arrived, and, with the military, marched up into the town. The pre sence of the military in the town has completely quelled the mutiny. The damage to windows, buildings, &c., is considerable. The 64th are under the command of Commandant Aitchison. The mob were joined by a large body of railway navvies. 4,/ NEWSPAPER RAILWAY INTELL 114 re\ 7:4 METROPOLITA 95 6 * f l:4 Yesterday the Lord Mayor and h of the company, attended by the en ' ' cers, were conveyed by an engine and riaa ovht the city extension of the co m p any ' s line from the present station in Farringdon-street to Finsbury_ pavement, about three or four minutes' walk from the Bank.

UXBRIDGE AND RICKAIANSWORTIL 1 The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Bedford-street, Strand ; Lord Ebury in the chair. Mr. FORBES, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption, which was seconded. Capt. BULKELEY proposed the adjournment of the meeting on the ground that neither he nor Mr. Ogilvy were aware of any negotiations pending be tween that company and the Great Western Com pany, of which latter they were directors. The SECRETARY explained that the solicitors of the two companies had been so engaged, off and on, since March last year. The negotiations had been suspended for some time and had been 'recently re newed ; but as the company's solicitor was not pre sent, he could not give any further information. He hoped, however, that a stop would soon be put to all further delay. Captain BULKELEY said he believed that a sealed agreement now existed between the two companies, and he could see no harm in adjourning the meeting for a month. ef'r••- The CHAIRMAN could see no advantage in it. Th e report contained a statement of facts ; it involved and bound them to nothing. In reply to a question, it was stated that all the shareholders except two had paid up the last call. On the amendment for the adjournment of the meeting being put, it was carried by proxies held by Captain Bulkeley and Mr. Venables, and the meet ing was adjourned accordingly to Monday, Oct. 30. RICKNANSWORTH, AMERSHAM, AND CHESHAII. The half-yearly meeting of this company was ap pointed to fie held yesterday at the offices, Bedford street, Strand ; Lord Ebury in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said it was only necessaryto state, as the meeting was held pro forma, that the Act ob tained by the company last session extended the time allowed for completing the purchase of land required for the railway till the Ist of August, 1867, and for the construction of works and completion of the line to August, 1868. In all probability the works would be commenced in the course of a few months, by which, time the directors hoped that the negotiations for the purchase of the requisite land, and the arrangements for working the line when constructed, would be completed. lIOME for LITTLE BOYS, Tottertham, N., for the Reception, from all parts of the Kingdom, of Outcast and Destitute Boys, And those verging on crime, under 10 years of age.

Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years of age. With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care ful y investigated by the Committee, and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take is the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify them for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome Idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from alciout ;our years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10', and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at ones ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—is it right to make a widow and her family paupers fbr lite because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not h , 1p her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto is that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to " run away," none of us shou'd be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th-m ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli• ante and self-help be permanent burdens to the State. The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the .insi Ration presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their sin„elug class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning, is devoted to echo , 1 work—reading, and writing, and ciphering-. and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in ajects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, an I that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once t aug ht h a bit s of industry. So th e after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white raper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers tor any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, &c. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, wa t er i ng, wee di ng , and so forth. By degrees they are being ma d e use f u l i n the house, s cru bbi ng and sweeping, while the elder ones lean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. 2d. Bar payment of 55. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any time as soon as approved by the Committee, Elections of children to be admitted free will take place as frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is full; they will then be held periodi cally F - orma of application for the admission of children may be had at the Home, and of the Honorary Secretary, BOARD and RESIDENCE.—CIiff H ouse, near Warrior-square, St. Leonarda-on-Sea, two minutes' walk from the Parade.

The annual show of this society took place this day. The show of stock, although not large, was exceedingly good in point of quality. A large number of the members and supporters of the society dined together in the Corn Exchange, under the presidency of the Earl of Sandwich. Amongst the guests were Lord R. Montague, M.P., General Peel, M.P., Mr. T. Baring, M.P., Mr. Fellowes, M.P., Sir Williamson Booth, the Hon. 0. Montagu, the Messrs. Marshall, Mr. C. Vesey, Mr. Day, Mr. R. Margetts (the mayor), &c. " The Health of her Majesty," " The Prince and Princess of Wales," and the other loyal toasts, having been given, and duly honoured, T N proposed " Th e A rmy and Navy, " couplinghe C 11A I with R 3 the toast the nam e o f G eneral Peel. 1A (Loud cheers.) General PEEL, in responding to the toast, said it was a matter of congratulation that the only cir cumstance connected with the united services since he last addressed his constituents was that which had taken place in connection with the exchange of hospitalities between the French and English fleets, the effect of which he believed would extend far beyond the two countries. He would not make use of the term rivalry in connection with such an auspicicds meeting, for he believed the exertions used on that occasion did honour to the Sovereigns under whose flags the guests of both assembled. He not only remembered Waterloo, but held a commission at that time, and trusted that the hatred which had existed between the two nations, followed by distrust and jealousy, had entirely passed away, and that the most friendly rela tions would remain between the two countries to the advantage of both, affording the best safeguard and security to the peace and glory of both. (Cheers.) Let him not be misunder stoop. He did not wish to see England form any alliances with any other country beyond those of friendship. He wished to see her act her own part, and hoped that the next House of Commons would lay down as distinctly as the last - had done that the policy of this country was not to interfere with others. If he had his own way he would ex tend the policy of peace to the pen as well as to the sword. If England had anything to say rela tive to the conduct of other nations he would rather she expressed her opinions directly than by a kind of side wind. He wished to point out the advan tage to be derived from a good understanding be tween this country and France. He had watched very narrowly indeed the great military and naval expenditure of the country. This had been founded upon sudden hot and cold fits—the hot fits generally arising from some disagreeable panic as to invasion, and the cold ones from the reaction consequent on such panics. A very hot fit had been upon us for the last nine years, and he hoped we should not rush into reductions, which in the end were very expen sive. The great expenditure had been caused by the rivalry and jealousy of the two countries, render ing necessary the extensive production of guns and ships, which, he was afraid, were only bad speci mens, and not equal to those which might have been produced if we had not been in such a hurry. He trusted that for the future we should be able to lay out our money to the best advantage, and that we should obtain the best models that could be pro duced. (Cheers.) We must have the best ships, the best artillery, and the best rifles that could be produced. The resources of this country were such that any quantity of arms could be produced in an incredibly short time, but our ships and men could not be produced in such a short time. (Hear.) With regard to the volunteers he would say that lie hoped no feelings of temporary security would induce them for a single moment to give up those exertions to which the country was so much indebted. That country was the safest whose population was determined not only to defend it, but was prepared to do so. (Cheers.) He would only just allude for one moment to that contempti ble conspiracy which had been properly described as a kind of bricklayer's and bagman's conspiracy in Ireland, and felt confident that, although the' nantirof two or three soldiers had been mentioned, the Country might, under all circumstances, depend on the loyalty of the army and navy. (Cheers.) " The Health of the Duke of Manchester" having been given, Mr. FELLOWES proposed " The health of the noble President." (Loud cheers.) The Earl of SANDWICH responded, and proposed " Success to the Society." (Cheers.) Mr. RUST proposed "The County Members." (Great cheering.) Mr. FELLOWES, after acknowledging the compli ment, said—Let me say a few words on a subject to which I have alluded before—to the opinion that it is desirable to pay attention to the growth of stock in preference to the growth of great quantities of corn. I believe there is no land more grateful for good cultivation than our grass land, and I be lieve that at this time, when we cannot expect corn to reach the high price it reached in former times, it would be muchmoreto our advantage if we turned our attention to the growth of stock than to the growth of wheat, Whether you are to grow stock or grass or root crops is a matter for your con sideration. I believe the two together may be use ful to us all, and that, considering the prices of meat, stock would be most remunerative. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the unfortunate cattle plague which is devastating a large portion of the country, I wish to impress on rny agricultural friends the absolute necessity of caution and vigilance, not only in the care of their present stock, but of any they may he induced to purchase. (Hear, hear.) In this county we have established an association for the benefit of holders of stock, but I think it hap not been attended with that success which is so de sirable. I think it would be for the interest of all the farmers to enter the association for the purpose the great loss they m from should make its ap pearance amongst them. (Cheers.) Lord ROBERT MONTAGU, who Was received with loud cheers, said—My lord and gentlemen, it is a great pleasure to me to receive these repeated assurances of your confidence. I most heartily return-you thanks for them. Since we last met at this festive board you have given a more palpable and substantial expression of the renewal of WATFORD AND RICKMANSWORTH. The half-yearly meeting of this company waa held yesterday, at the offices, Bedford-street, Strand; Lord Ebury hr the chair. The report, an extract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was adopted, and one of the directors who retired by rotation was re-elected. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held on Tuesday at Glasgow, Mr. P. Blackburn in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that before taking up the business left over for the adjourned meeting, he would mention that an application was made to the Lord-Ordinary to withdraw his interdict, and that after hearing both parties fully he declined to do so, and suggested that the company should adjourn the meeting till early in December. The board, having met that morning and taken the matter into con sideration, were of opinion the first thing to be done was to declare the dividends recommended in the report. If they adjourned the meeting till Decem ber, and if they then found they had power to re commend the shareholders to vote remuneration to the manager, secretary, and the other officers in stead of asking them to give £11,600 among them, the directors would propose that £7,100 should be voted for that purpose. He concluded by moving that the dividends be then declared for thepast half year. Mr. DUNLOP seconded the motion. Mr. CLOUSTON moved an amendment to the effect that in addition to the dividends recommended by the directors the holders of ordinary stock should receive a bonus of 20s. per cent., payable on the 3d proximo. He also said he would propose :—" That the balance of revenue and assets remaining in the hands of the board should be devoted to meeting the expenses of the company winding up, and any legal claims against the revenue account which might be established ; and that the board be instructed, when all such payments were made, to dispose of any resi due by remitting it rateably to the present holders of ordinary:stock." This would leave a balance of £5,000. Mr. J. WHrrE seconded the amendment. A long discussion ensued. Mr. J. ORR EWING, a director, proposed that the recommendation contained in the report of remune rating the servants of the company be withdrawn ; that as soon as the interdict was withdrawn that a form be enclosed to each shareholder, in the same terms as adopted by the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company, stating that it was recommended by the directors that an opportunity be given to raise voluntarily, by those willing to subscribe, a fund for the purpose of being divided between the servants of the company in such proportions as may be fixed on by a committee of four shareholders and three directors, the amount recommended being ten per cent. of the dividend due to each shareholder. He meant all shareholders, preference as well as ordinary. And that the proxies entrusted to the directors in name of Messrs. Blackburn, Campbell, and Maxwell be not used against the votes of the shareholders present regarding the division of the funds available for the dividend if there was a consi derable majoiity in favour of such a motion. (Cheers.) Mr. L. WHITE, a director, said he concurred in the proposition of Mr. Ewing. Sir J. CAMPBELL seconded the proposition of Mr. Ewing. The CHAIRMAN contended that they could not take up any business except what stood over from. the ordinary meeting. Mr. EWING, amid considerable noise and confu sion, put his motion to tile meeting. Mr. CLOUSTON contended that the interdict was no obstacle to Mr. Ewing's motion, as he recom mended nothing but a voluntary proceeding. Mr. DUNLOP said that if they voted the money from th e company, it was rece i ve d as the gift of th e company ; in the other ca vidual shareholders. (Uproar.)s as the gift of indi vidual CHAIRMAN said he would not accept a vo t e from individual shareholders. He proposed that the e itw words in the question be left out. A show of hands being called for it appeared that nearly the whole of those present were in favour of Mr. J. 0. Ewing's resolution. The CHAIRMAN thereupon said he held that the resolutions were not pasged, knowing, as he did, the proxies that were lodged. A poll being demanded, the names of . those pre sent were called, and their votes taken. Mr. Paton and Mr. Bain were appointed on behalf of the meeting to act along with Mr. Jainieson and Mr. Tawse in scrutinizing the poll, and to report at a meeting to be held in the company's offices next day. Mr. IlTurrE said he wished the chairman to put his motion, that the directors be instructed to with draw opposition, in name of the company, to the interdict. Mr. CLOUSTON seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN said the motion was quite incom petent. It did not refer to a matter in the report standing over from the previous meeting. Mr. WHYTE protested against this ruling. The meeting then separated. I I I
