The seventeenth annual ploughing match of the society took place on Monday, on Hennbarough Farm, in the occupation of Mrs. Beazley, near Newton. Operations were commenced at an early hour in the presence of many of the yeomanry of the district. The practice was considered very good. Two other branches of agricultu ral labour, thatching and hedging, were also prosecuted on the ground, the latter with great vigour, and were watched with considerable interest. Prizes are awarded at these meetings to both male and female labourers for length of agricultural service and for industry; also, to tenant farmers for ability and excellence in cultivation of estates. At four o'clock about 100 gentlemen and farmers assembled at Beazley's Globe Hotel, Newton, and sat down to a substantial dinner. Lawrence Palk, Esq., M.P. for South Devon, presided. After the usual loyal and other routine toasts had been drunk, "The Health of the Chairman" was pro posed, and received most enthusiastically. In acknowledging the compliment, Mr. Palk said it was now some years since he first bad the honour of dining with them on such an occasion. They had often bad happy meetings, but he must say he felt extremely flattered at seeing the large and important assembly then before him. He was aware he must not take the entire com pliment of supposing it to he the effect of his pre- L'z siding on that occasion, but he might take it as a proof that he had done nothing to induce the m to withhold 'u 40 that confidence which they had reposed in him, and that a w they were so far glad to ree him. (Cheers.) Deeply con cerned as the happiness and prosperity of this country st. were in the whole question of agriculture, therenever was 25 a time when the question was of greater importance than ss 2e it was at this moment, when we were engaged in a great 10 war, and he believed a war that was just, holy, and ne cessary. (Cheers.) There was scarcely a house in the land :te in which it had not occasioned sorrowing and tears ; J . but they were reconciled to their bereavements by the , reflection that those who fell fought for a great and glo- „ rious cause. (Hear.) But, practically speaking, although we did not see the "horrors of war," it iutroduced a .0 series of evils into this country, which it was our duty to firesee and provide against. One material operation of the war was to impede the introduction of foreign Si corn into this country, and so to throw on the agricul turista the necessity of increasing the produce of the soil to provide for the wants of the population. And hero, though politics were forbidden to be introduced into their assemblies—and he was the last man who would attempt to infringe that rule—he must make a passing allusion to times gone by, when agriculturists were in 2 great distress, and when they were coldly told by those a who had effected a certain great political change that if S they (the farmers) could not grow corn they had better S turn their attention to something else. (Hear.) He '' was happy to say the energy of the agricultural interest did not desert them at that critical time—they di I not ! I turn away to other pur-uite, but they devoted tin it at- 1 1,' tention to the growing of larger crops, or newer and bet- s ter methods. (Hear.) Another result of the war which they would have to contend against was the great de mand it created for human life. From every part of the country the young and active man, who in peaceful times would have become a labourer on the soil or a •,:;, mechanic in the mill, was hurried off to the seat of war, and consequently a want of labour had for some time been felt. He had experienced it himself, and it had been called very seriously to his attention. There was another sad reflection he could not help making—it Beane l that the farmer had not now the control over his labourer which he used to have. He had been told by many agriculturists that if they complained of the conduct of a mall, or said a word to him, he demanded his day's wages, away he went and left the employer in a disagreeable position. He was satisfied that much of the damage that was supposed to be accidentally done to crops and plant of the farmer was due to the negligence of idle boys. In olden times there was a system—he (Ad not pretend to say it was faultless, but it was attended with most excellent results—he meant the system of apprentiCeship The boy was carefully in structed in his duties by the farmer, while the girl was probably brought up under the eye of the mistress of the house, and both became useful members of society ; but he regretted t say there was now a system which he hoped was not prevalent, but which had lately come uncles his notice, and which would be most unfortunate if _ it became general—he meant the system of taking and dismissing servants without a character. This was a serious matter; for it appeared to him that the character of every man, whether he was the servaut in the farm, or one who served his country in the senate— was dear to him and should be given to him. If they withheld from the honest servant the character which he had richly de served, what recompense did they offer him t It was not the wages that the servant earned, nor the home that the master gave, which was most highly prized, but the hope of rising in his station—a hope which should bean in ducement to everyman and woman to do well, and which should be encouraged. Another question which had lately attracted much attentinn amongst those who wished well to the agricultural interest, was that of education — one worthy the attention of every man who had the well being of his fellow-creatures at heart. The time was gone by when men would be contented with what they saw immediately around them- Toe facilities of railroads induced men to travel, and the cheapness of literature gave them a taste for research. It was to the cheapness of literature, the opportunity of mixing with practical men, and of seeing different customs in diffe rent countries that the marked improvement in Devon farming was to be attributed. They bad introduced a very superior system of cultivation into this county, and many if the improvements they had seen practised in other countries. But, reverting to education, he much regretted that no general measure bearing on it had yet met with the approbation of the Legislature of this coun try. He recollected attending night after night in the House of Commons, and listening to debates on the ques tion, hut, like many men of greater experience, he did at last reluctantly confess in his own mind that the ques tion of education was the most difficult that he hail ever attempted to grapple with. It was difficult because there were so many circumstances tl.at had effect on edu cation. Besides the separation of houses in agricultural districts, there was the greater obstacle of young child ren being early called to labour and made assistants in the support of themselves, and it would probably be difficult, if not unjust, to enforce education under these circumstances. Still, little by little, the question of edu cation would press itself on the attention of all, and pos sibly some plan would at ia.-1 be devised by which, if education should not be rendered compulsory by law, it should be rendered oompulsory through the public ap preciating the benefits that would flow from it. So much had the necessity for education impressed the minds of those who took a lead in the legislature of this country, that they would see a noble lord (Lord Ehrington), whose antecedents were certainly not very particularly associated with the agricultural interests—had at last arrived at the decision that education would he a great boon to the agriculturists, and that agriculture was a science worthy of support and assistance. He had, there fore, offered a prize, which he (Mr. Palk) hoped would be well contested for, to the farmer's son who was most proficient in history, geography, and mathematics. The noble aright lord had u n d ou bt e dl y given this prize with every desire that it aright stimulate th e risi n g industry of the sans of agriculturists. Wh e th er the subjects that had been selected were the best ad a pt e d t o agr r.i but rsts he would lea v e to more practical men to determine ' this he knew, that the knowledge of history would never do any one harm,geographymight be the knowledge of be very beneficial to agriculturists, an d that an ac quaintance with practical mathematics would include a kind of information bearing on many of the requirements of the farmer. (Hear.) He hoped on Thursday next to have the honour of meeting a large body of Rgricut. turists in his neighbourhood, to show them a system— largely adopted in otb er countie, but not . carried to such an extent as he had attempted to carry it—a system of meadow irrigation. Fer the last 6or . 7 years, with be believed, bore a the assistance of a tenantry, who, richly-deserved reputation in this co unty, h i e ha n d d been remodelling some valleys, and turning orcharr s, e ges, i lanes, and horrible holes, so he called them, into what had now become green and ferti le meadows ir.n gated under a system that made the most of the running pp i d no t water, the atmosphere, and the sunshine. (Alause.) In conclusion, he asked the society why the y give prizes for landlords as well as for t enant-farmers d and labourers I (Cheers.) He would most gladly com pete. Perhaps they would tell him that they already gave a high prize for landlords, and he admitted it, for where the landlord endeavoured to do his best for his tenantry, there they would find the best and most enter prising of tenants. (Loud cheers ) Other toasts were proposed and responded to, and the chairman soon after retired ; the meeting, however, did not break up until a l a t e hour. 71 73 64 Ga 83i 68 69 119 -1 100 102 50 54 c 4 34 1194 51 501 I St. 68 - 721 ii - 7 5 71 741 -75 j pm 1 9a th - 6i 91 96 92 —92 i 2 lid lk lk 83 - F 4 9 8 , 8 7 . 10 St. 95 i 4i St. 92i 21 6' li 831 2/ - 22 -Cl - 36 - 33 ~a~ ...~ 1; 1 45 - 47 25i - 671 - GBi 8+ 7id 4 116 126 44 45 92 —97 ... .... .. 4t - 51 23 - 25 100 - 104 72 74 41 43 1 2 56i 574 30i 314 5 :3(1 2d - pa' t Wok . kwrwl a toekton Darli lh Ali/Acton & liratlep • Vale i 1')-1.

BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Comtnis-ioner Evans.) IN RE SIR ROBERT PRICE, BART. This was a meeting for choice of assignees. Mr. Lawrence (of Lawrence, Plews, and Co.), ap pea red in support of the petition; Mr. Linklater for the ban tkrupt. 1 !he bankrupt, at the time of the presenting of the petition, was member of Parliament for Hereford, and car• tied on an extensive business as an iron master at th , Sunder Iron Works, North Wales. He was de ribed as of Stratton-street, Piccadilly, and of Foxley, H erefordshire, iron master, dealer and chapman. Mr. David Lloyd, of Rood-lane, City, wholesale ,rocer, and Mr. Robert Simpson, of Charlotte row, City, were appointed assignees. _ . It was understood that the accounts showed a defici mcy of 30,0001., but that there W 0.3 sufficient property I ;o meet the liabilities, and that, in consequence, an ipplication would be made to supersede the bankruptcy. V OLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE OLD DODGE.—Thomas Richards was placed at the I )ar, charged with being concerned with others in do- I rauding Captain N. A. Lindholm, of the Swedish i schooner Sabina, now lying in the Commercial Docks, of 221. 103., by card-playing. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prisoner. to this court, and a warrant was granted for her . Lppre- i It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor met a man yesterday, on one of the river steamers, who eJered him part of his umbrella, and, as it was raining, he accepted it. They afterwards went to the Anchor and Hope, Lower Thames-street, where they saw two men sitting in the parlour. The usual ignorance of each other was assumed at their meeting, but shortly after one of them spoke, and a cigar box was produced. After that some cards made their appearance, and betting commenced, the prosecutor at first winning 45., 205., and other small sums, which were paid him. Some other persons carne in, when the prisoner Paid he did not like - to — be seer; betting in public, and they all adjourned to a house in Lower Thames-street, and resumed card playing. He lost all the money he had in his pocket, 21. 10s., on which the man he met in the steam-boat told him that the prisonercould lend him 50/. or 1001. if he wanted it. He went on playing and lost 201., for which he gave the prisoner an order on his owners for the amount. The owners had not paid the money nor would they now. The prisoner, although he had never been in custody before, was well known to the police, as a man who picked up captains of vessels and others to be fleeced in this way. The Lord Mayor said that in this case the prisoner had not obtained the money, and under the circum stances, as the captain was likely to leave London in a few days, he discharged the prisoner. He ordered the policeman to band back to the captain the order he had given for the payment of the money which was found upon the prisoner when he was apprehended. Mr. Lewis at first objected, but his lordship peremp torily directing it to be done, Mr. Lewis said it mat tered not as the prisoner could sue the captain without it for money lent. The Lord Mayor—Sue indeed. I should think he would know better than do it. His lordship having cautioned the captain, and the order having been given back to him, The prisoner was discharged. tension. Gueet, 62 L, one of the warrant officers of the alurt, said he took her into custody last night, and locked her up in the Stone's-end station-house. John Mills, 171 M, said he was on duty last eveni, ig ehortly before five o'clock, when the prisoner wf s brought to the station-house by Guest, and charged of a warrant. About five minutes after she was locked up, witness, who had charge of the cells, heard a shuffling noise proceed from the ons she was locked in. He im mediately proceeded there, and on opening the door ho perceived her lying on the filer with a piece of string tied tightly round her neck. She was in convulsions, and nearly black in the face. Witness cut the oord and sent for Dr. Odling, who attended immediately and re stored her to her senses. Some time after that she was taken ill again from the effects of the attempt she had made on her life. Mr. A'Beekett asked her what she had to say for attempting to take away her life 9 She replied that she did not know. Her senses must have left her at the time. Guest, the summoning officer, informed the magistrate that there were charges against her by other individuals ,o be heard on Monday next, GUILDHALL. John Bowman, who was charged yesterday before Mr. Alderman Finnis with violently assaulting his wife, was again placed at the bar. Mr. A'Beckett said, that if such was the case he shculd remand her to gaol until that day. In the mean time she would have an opportunity of reflecting on the crime she had czmmitted in attempting to destroy her self. She was accordingly remanded until Monday next. THE GALES AND THE SHIPPING. WHITBY, Wednesday.—On Monday night a strong gale from the E.N.E. sprang up on this coast, with 9. heavy sea and rain, which continue to this time. No vessels appeared at sea until 4 p.m. on Tuesday, when a lumber keel came into Whitby roads, with the inten tion of taking the port, but when within a quarter of a mile from the harbour mouth, two heavy waves struck her in succession, the second dashing into her mainsail, whereupon she immediately upset, and all bands were drowned. The hull, bearing on the stern "Hannah of Goole," drifted on shore about two mitles north..of the harbour, where, without much injury, it still remains. The name "Hannah" is also painted in white letters on the quarter board. None of the bodies have yet washed up. About 8 p.m. on Tuesday, the brig Finland Smith, of Hartlepool, came on shore about a mile to the northward, and was immediately followed by the Friendship, Brackley, also of Hartlepool, which made the sands a little to the northward of the Finland. About 9.30 p. in. the brig Con tent, Howes, also of Hartlepool, likewise ran on shore two or three hundred yards to the northward of the har bour. The three last-mentioned brigs were all in ballast, from Hamburg, and their crews sra saved. The Finland and Content will most likely be got off, but the Friend ship is in a less fortunate position, being o❑ the Lector Rock. The coast guard rendered most efficient service to all the vessels by showing port fires, which, by at tracting them to Whitby SAnd4, prevented their destruc tion on the rocks to the northward and southward. The Alderman stated there could be no doubt that the prisoner had been guilty of a violent assault on his wife,!and her irritating conduct towards him was no jus tification of what he had done.

The heavy gales continue to cause considerable damage amongst the shipping. The latest accounts received from the outports report, as will be seen below, the wreck of a considerable number of ships : LOWESTOFFE, Oct. 31.—The Planet, from Memel, went ashore on the Newcome, yesterday, and has become a total wreck ; crew landed ; the cargo is being saved.

Blackwood.—Although " Zaidee" is not actually completed in this November number of Blackwood as we anticipated, it proves that we have not been so very far wrong after all in our calculation. Next month will positively witness its last appearance. A thirteenth instalment of the serial which. has I now for twelvemonths been the principal charm of ' Maga will bring the narrative to a close—of course with the restoration of Zaidee to the Grange in (Theshire, and of course with her marriage with Plilip , the invisible hero of the fiction : whose norWrn. to England, by the way, is among the last I incidents of the story here foreshadowed. Part twelve acquaints us with the manner in which Elizabeth Cumberland, otherwise Zaidee Vivian, acquaints her family in the " old house at home" of her continued existence, of her perennial ten derness of affection for them one and all, of the anguish with which she had recently discovered that her plans had been (unknown to herself the while) from first to last egregious failures, and of her determination never to wrong those she loved so dearly by accepting the fortune so strangely be queathed. to her by her grim old grandsire. The first communication received by Mrs. Vivian from her poor lost Zaidee, Zaidee transmits her self in a pacqnet, with which she trudges over one day from Malvern to Worcester. The second, containing a deed of gift by which the heiress makes over her unacceptable possessions uncondi tionally to her aunt, she forwards to Mrs. Vivian at the Grange, through the medium of a London lawyer, one Mr. Furnival, to whom she is intro duced by queer, good-natured, witty Mr. Steele, the artist, who is R.A. to nobody else but the Duke of Scattergood. Throughout the whole num ber, in truth, the secret of the romance trembles on the brink of revelation. Mary more than sus pects it. Percy has it every now and then all but within his, grasp. And yet to the last—as far as we have been allowed to penetrate the labyrinth of the plot—the mystery continues to this moment unsolved, and the beautiful Elizabeth Cumberland, although in reality no other than Zaidee the Heiress, continues to all about her no more than the adopted child of a sentimental fine lady and a crack-brained amateur-philosopher. "An Old Contributor at the Sea Side," in other words, one of the Chiefs of Blackwood, the Learned Recorder of Hull, and the gifted author of " Ten Thousand a Year," the creator of Gammon and Titmouse, of the beautiful Kate Aubrey, and the abominable Huckaback—brings to a conclusion his charming, gossipping, garrulous chat upon the sea shore about all things in general and nothing in particular. tieaders of Maya will turn over the pages dedicated to the discursive talk of this de lightful " Contributor" with a heart and a half ! So genial it is, so quaint, so full of unexpected turns of humour—sounding in a manner the whole gamut of feeling, from that of the sublime down to that of the simply ridiculous. Witness this—the luxurious description given by the writer, of the very delectable state of kef (to borrow a Moslem idiom for the nonce) enjoyed by him, with a true appreciation of the dolce far niente, in the amiable company of the sagacious and übiquitous Tickler ! Or his droll confessions about the secret puffing out of the abhorred Albert Night Light, or his yet droller celebration of that singularly cool enjoyment of the " Starlight." What is meant by the little paragraph headed " Criticism" is best known to Eusebius, or Irensens, or whomsoever may be the recipient ofßlackwood's correspondence. To those who, like ourselves, don't happen to be in the secret, the hidden meaning of it, is altogether as inscrutable as is the opinion of the " Old Con tributor " in regard to the hinted cause of Maud v. Cordelia. However, delightful the whole contri bution is for the most part, from its commencement in October to its conclusion in November—the pro minent charm of the later moiety being discernible in that exquisitely humorous 2Esopian or Pilpayan dialogue between the Author and Tickler—Tickler, by the way, speaking now and then as he should do by nature, and therefore by right, somewhat dogmatically, but modestly withal, as becomes a dog of his breeding and evident self-possession. We turn the last gay leaf of the contribution with a sigh Ehen, vale et benedicitc I An earnest tribute is offered to the memory of Professor Johnston through the medium of au eulogistic criti cism upon his last work, " The Chemistry of Com mon Life." The first article in the November number of Blackwood being in reference to "The Eastern Shores of the Black Sea," the lait is more comprehensively directed to the whole question of the " War Politics," explaining very lucidly, for the benefit of every ignoramus, like Mr. John Bright, of Manchester, the precise nature of the objects for which we are just now fighting. Major namley draws to a close his animated narrative, in thirty-two chapters, of the " Story of the Cam paign of Sebastopol"—a valuable fragment of con temporary history, now on the eve of separate pub lication. Besides these half-dozen papers of varied interest., there are two others before us not yet particularised. One a flippant jumble of literary "notices" anent certain "Travel lers' Tales " recently given to the world as among the contributions to modern light literature—a pert cluster of pragmatic reviews, in which the writer betrays at once inordinate lack of judgment and incorrigible self-sufficiency. Among other evidences of which are the sneers di rected against one of the pleasantest books of travel for a long time past submitted to the notice of the reading public—we mean the " Wabash" of Mr. Beste, a genuine book, a book of undoubted ability, racy, genial, and unaffected. It appears to us ra ther bungling upon a matter of taste, when Black wood falls foul of the very title of the " Wabash " —scouting it either as a catchpenny or as a mere conceit—rather bungling, we say, at the very time when, from the great house of George-street, Edin burgh, there has just come forth that volume by Laurence Oliphant, entitled "Minnesota." What, we ask, is the precise value of the difference ? Six for the " Wabash " and half-a• dozen for " Minne sota I" A river, we take it, may quite as well as any district, furnish• a title for a traveller's book of adventures. The other paper not yet mentioned as completing the contents of the current Black wood, affords us, through a Letter to Irenams, halt-an-hour's chit-chat about " Paris and the Ex hibition." Sic transit, &e.—whether as to the Edinburgh Magazine or the Paris Exhibition. Dublin University. A Tale from Oriental His tory entitled "Sultan Akba , l's Love," or "The Siege of Chittore," is of considerable interest, and contains some curious accounts of Eastern manners and customs. The story is narrated in a spirited style, and the unfortunate Rajah and his beautiful queen are a worthy hero and heroine of romance, from their courage and constancy, and from their perilous careers and untimely end. The wild and ungovernable Sultan besieged Chittore for the pur pose of carrying away the Queen Padwani, of whose beauty ho had heard a fabulous description. He wished to accomplish his purpose by stratagem, and pretended to relinquish the siege. In a final interview which he requested with the Rajah he contrived to make the latter a prisoner. After many devices and deceits, unworthy of a great warrior, he succeeded in inveigling Padmani to her husband's prison. However, the beautiful object of all this turmoil was too wise, and by a clever stratagem she sent her brother and some of his friends, disguised, in a litter. With the assistance of these devoted adherents the Rajah escaped, but ' only to exchan ge an i gno bl e f or a g lorious death. The Sultan returned to the siege, and the Rau h died defending his fortress. When the conqueroresof entered he found a funeral pyre, in the which the persecuted Padmani had e s . c s a f P re e corded his reach to follow her husband. lul d from It is that the Sultan's after life was n e can regret. un fortunate, which circumstance Carlo " Alberico Poru" is brought to atnneuounclusion in this number. It records the la The Alberto, the ill-fated King of was not accomplished s't-ardurnieau.t? of mis sion of the enthusiastic Poro_ till he had followed th e unhappy king into exile, and seen him in that slee p from which no enemik e tch of Italian e s could rouse him. This sstruggles much for freedom is nar rated with skill,and the writer is evidently i m bued with the • _ i spirit of the es . In conclusion, he c ause he chroni expresses a "Sons of Italy anda-• rise again, powerfuljustice,the standard in h m might, to plant on high heaven's light, dyed with t h e blood 'of those martyrs, who implanted ou Italian soil the love of freedom." " The Oid House of Darkbrothers" promis s to bo a very interesting story. There are some peculiar cha racters introduced, which are graphically described, a nd some of them are amusing in their consequen tial self-importance. The incident of the mob surrounding the house of the arrogant Lord Pam padour is ably told, and the advantage which fore thought and courage poasess over proud pomposity and haughty self-conceit are very apparent. In the "Dramatic Writers of Ireland" Richard Lalor Sheil appears under notice. It is said that "it is difficult to fix the exact rank which he is entitled to hold as a dramatist. He cannot for a moment be placed on a level with Knowles, and is, perhaps, not superior Maturin. As an orator lie ti aks much higher ground." "The Progress of Russia" is an elaborate article, which will interest those.n, who seek for information on that ever•recurn 0 subject.

ASSAULT.—A very slovenly-attired woman, who gave the name of Shaer, was placed at the bar this morning, charged with violently assaulting Mary Ann Griffiths. The complainant, who it appears is a witness in a case of robbery, against a man under remand from this court until Monday next, stated that last night about half-past nine the prisoner forcibly entered her apartment, and finding her in bed she commencel a violent atta2k, and " pitched into" her right and left. She, com plainant, endeavoured t) protect herself as best she could, but Sinder continued " punching" her, ald swore she would give her something that would prevent ter appearing to give her evidence on Monday next. After a great deal of disturbance had been occa sioned a policeman was sent for, and Sinder was con veyed to the station-house. The prisoner, who did not deny the charge, was fined 51. for the assault. The money not being forthcoming, she was committed ;o prison for three months. THAMES. SEAMEN'S WAGES.—CURIOUS DISPUTE. —This morning Captain Daniel Barton, the master of the ship Vienna, a coasting vessel, came before Mr. Ingram with two sea men, who had taken out summonses against the captain for their wages, and in favour of whom orders had been made. Taplin, No. 234 K, an officer of the Court, stated that the seamen came before Mr. Yardley last Taesday week and stated that they had shipped on board the Vienna at Lianelly for a voyage to London, for which they were to receive 51. each. Mr. Yardley asked them if the cargo was discharged and they said it was not, on which the magistrate directed them to stay by the ship till the cargo was discharged, and he would then grant sum monses. On Monday the seamen a;ain applied, and said that the cargo was Ou', and the magistrate granted summonses, which were made returnable yesterday. The captain did not appear, and the cases were heard cx parte. Orders were made for the pay ment of the wages and costs, and he served the minutes of the orders upon Captain Barton last night. Mr. Ingham—What does the captain want me to do ? Captain Barton said he never received the summonses, and was not aware any process was out against him until he received minutes of the orders. Mr. Ingham said the case had been heard and deter mined, and he could not review the decision of his col- league. C ►ptain Barton said the voyage was over, and handed i the ship's articles to the magistrate, who read the agree- i ment, and said that the voyage was to be from Llanelly to London and back to any loading port or ports in the north. The seamen were not entitled to their discharge here. The articles further said, to be discharged in London or not at the option of the captain. The men said the meaning of the articles was this-.. they were to make one voyage for 51., not a voyage and a half. Mr. Ingham—The voyage terminates in the North, and the captain has a right to your services back to the North milder this agreement. The seamen declared they never so understood the agreement, or they would not have signed it. They had been already detained in London a fortnight. Mr. Ingham asked the captain what he was stopping in London for ? Captain Barton—l ant stopping here to get a freight. Mr. Ingham—The articles of agreement are not very clear ; but my opinion is the men are bound to proceed to a loading port in the North, but you cannot stop here to take in cargo. If you do you alter the agree ment, and the seamen have a right to say they are dis charged, and to receive 51. each. You must not detain the men while you are looking for a freight. The seamen complained of the hardship of the case. They would never have shipped for a voyage from Llanelly to London and the north for Si. if it had been explained to them. Mr. Ingham—The agreement was read over to you ? The seamen—Yes, sir, it was. Mr. Ingham— Then you are bound by it. The mean ing of it is, captain, that you must discharge your cargo here and go away. You cannot keep the seamen here an indefinite tune. Captain Barton—l will sail to-morrow. Mr. Ingham—lf you do not they will be off the bar gain, and will have a right to say the contract is termi nated. You must leave this port directly or pay them 51. each. The captain and seamen the■ retired with the officer. SOUTHWARK. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A FEMALE IN THE POLICE CELL.—Harriet Dixon, a respectable-lookin g middle aged female, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with attempting to strangle herself in the police cell. She was also charged with assaulting Mr. Elwes, a cow keeper, in the Southwark -bridge-road. Mr. Elwes said, that on Monday last he met the pri soner as he was passing the Britannia public-house, when she came up to him and, making use of disgusting language, struck him several blows on the head. Her oondact was so violent that he wag compelled to come MARKET NEWS.—(This Day). GENERAL AVERAGE FR/CES OF BRITISH CORE For the week ended Nov.

Bentley's Miscellany._" The F a ll of liinburn" is the opening subject In this miscellany. The par ticulars are by this time generally known, and there is nothing very original in the comments. The continuation of the editor's new story of " The Spendthrift" follows. Only one chapter is given, which relates the meeting of the hero with the family of Sir Hugh Poynings at Bury St. Edmund's. " Prosings' by Monkshood" is generally the most interesting feature in the number. The criticisms are written in a kindly spirit, and evidence con siderable talent. " Arthur Helps," the gifted and original writer of " Friends in Council," " Com panions of my Solitude," &c., is the subject of the present notice. It i s l ess a criticism than a series of extracts, the critic being more eager to exhibit the author's opinions and argu ments than to display his own. " Ins and Outs of Paris" is a brief notice of an American work recently published under that title. It does not appear to be any thi ng more than the usual series of anecdotes and s k etches of French man ners and cooking. Dudley Costello contributes & story for the lovers of the horrible, with the roman tic title of " The Roadside Inn at Champion , " a suitable title for so dismal a romance. A reader .of very little experience such narratives will readily conjecture that the inn is situated in a wild and deserted spot—that a young traveller arrives there one evening—is captivated by the land lord's beautiful daughter, and remains another day, sending a letter, to his banker me anwhile-- that the beautiful daughter warns him not to drink her father's wine, at the same time hint ing that travellers who come at night are sel dom seen in the morning—that he follows her advice, that hi s h os pit a bl e l a ndlord comes in and tries to strangle him while feigning sleep, that the daughter rushes in with some gendarmes to his rescue, just in time to be shot by her father, by mistake—that the landlord was arrested, that seven skeletons were found in the cellar, and that there was an end of the "Roadside Inn at Champ ion." This pathetic tale being concluded, the reader is not sorry to come to the more lively nar rative of Mr. Shirley Brookes. " Aspen Court," though published in three volumes, has not yet come to a conclusion in the pages of Bentley. The two chapters which form the present instalment, however, herald its speedy termination. A paper entitled " The Steppe " gives a thorough descrip tion of that remarkable feature of the Russian domi nions. A summary of its geology, meteorology, soil, agriculture, zoology, and vegetation is given. They are divided by some writers into the eternal steppes and the accidental steppes, the former being natural deserts, with very thin soil, and the latter those spaces which accident has converted into wastes. The " Adventures of Benjamin Bobbin, the Bagman," which appear intermi na bl e , are con tinued, and a " Sketch of Venice" concludes the number. Colburn.—The first paper in the New Monthly is on the " Progress of Russia in Europe," which subject having been sufficiently discussed we will only say that it follows the phases of the Russian empire during the last century and a half, that is to say, since its first possession of any influence in Europe. A lively paper on " French Almanacs for 1856" gives us several amusing extracts from them. " Ensign Pepper's Letters from the Crimea" are concluded, which is not much to be re gretted, as they had too much of the serious realities in them to be merely amusing, and too much vulgarity to be pathetic. "My Exile in Siberia" gives a sketch of the life and adventures of the writer of that remarkable work. Those who have not perused M. Herzen's memoirs will learn the comforts of a life iu Russia, when suspected of liberal opinions, from this paper. A sketch, entitled " Little Speculators," treats of that mania which has darkened so many lives and brought ruin and desolation to many happy homes. A somewhat ambitious poem, en titled " Se vastopol," is not at all striking. Though of a considerable length it does not rise above mediocrity. The " Occasional Notes of French Literature " are continued. Cuvillier Fleury is the subject of the present notice. "Stoke Dottrell" progresses, with the enlivening incident of a murder. The "Riding to the Tournament" is a graceful and lively poem, though its meaning is not very clear. "Millicent and Philip Crane " is an old story, p!easingly told by the author of " The Unholy Wish.' It is melincholy, as all his stories are, and terminates sadly. A gcsiip about "Modern Song Writers" contains an interesting notice of our living English lyrists. Due honour is rendered to Barry Cornwall, Thomas Haynes Bayly, Charles Swain, and their com panions ; and among lady writers, to Eliza Cook, Mary Howitt, Mrs. Norton, and Lady Dufferin. It is justly observed that the reason why so few lyrics are suitable for music is, that though the words may come in, the accent falls in the wrong place. The secret of successful song writing, we are told, is the combination of a musical ear with a poetic temperament. A curious tale from the German is entitled "Death and the Doctor." " The Eighteenth Century " is continued, and the present instalment treats of the appalling subject of the punishment of criminals. Well might London in those days be called " The City of the Gallows!" The number of executions for comparatively small offences is perfectly frightful, while the tortures to which the unfortunate victims who refused to con fess were subjected, is even worse. We have little cause to boast of modern humanity when we find that in 1735, a man was crushed to death for re fusing to confess a murder, and that, in 1742, the torture of thumb-screws was applied at the Cam bridge assizes. J. E. Carpenter contributes one of his pleasing lyrics. Colburn's United Service.—" The War in the East" meets as usual with an appropriate share of editorial attention, and much useful information and noticeable comment is to be found in connec tion with it. " The Services of Sir John Bur goyne," both in a civil and military capacity, are ably vindicated, and in connection with this sub ject a paper on the " Earthworks and the Defence of Sebastopol " may be read with advantage. " Bessarabia, Nicolaieff, Oczakoff " are noticed in a useful paper, and " A Visit to the Camp at Helfaut" will repay perusal. Attention may also be directed to an article on " Naval Cadets and their Education," in which will be found many sensible remarks, as well as to a leaf in the " Edi• tor's Portfolio," in which General Simpson is ac quitted of mismanagement and want of forethought, and sarcastic remarks are to be found on the dis gusting affair at Wind or. Lord Harding°, i n the latter, passes for Dam e Q u i c kl e y, and our brave fellows in the Crimea are said to have reason to exclaim " deliver us from Lord Ernest Vane. The Law Magazine has an able and elaborate article on " Limited Liability," in which telling arguments are advanced against the unlimited lia bility of shareholders in joint-stock companies and of sleeping partners in ordinary trading partner ships. In addition may bo noticed a paper on the important subject of "Personal Protection acquired. through Bankruptcy and Insolvency ;" and a bio ee graphical sketch of L ord Lyndhurst, Whose career is described as " a g ame of chess," and who a Parallel drawl' b e t wee n him and Lord Br oug h am -- at the conclus ion, though given the precedence as a lawyer, show s to less advanta g e tha n that public spirited nobl eman in other capacities. T h e Merchants' 3faga:;iite contains a number of papers of more or less va l ue to the mercantile Com wunity. The questions, " flow are the War Ex penses to be raised?" "ghat ought the Bank to do ?" and "Is it right to conceal the Insolvency of Bankers ?" are fairly discussed. The reply given to the first is in effect " by loans ;" to the second, " refuse discount accommodation with the decrease of its means ;" and to the third, as a matter of course, " No." Prussia, strangely enough, finds a defender in the present number. RAILWAYS ON ROADS.—The Lyons journals state that there is some idea of establishing a network of railways_ on ordinary roads within the town, for the purpose of connecting together the principal arteries of the place . The fir,t line is to unite the Vaise station, on the. '.as to Lyons line, with that of Perrache, on the Id e diter .. ranean Railway. SALE OF LORD WATERFORD'S STUD. quis of stallions, hunters, &c., the property the of Waterford, took place in the large Catrrea a djoining bis ra ghmore-hous e . lordship's magnificent residence, Mar Th e auction of d L ,y buyers from France, egan to From an early hour of the England, and the severa , 1 ck the extensive court-yard a , semble, and before 12 0 c 0 A earance.

The large room in a few minutes became • ' so cr owded that it was with difficulty many could at all enter , • about 400 persons partook of luncheon. The sales shortly after commenced, and the lots (66 in num ber) were disposed of at half-past five o'clock, the entire amount realised being 7,0621. 10s. The yearlings sold enormously high ; for instance, a bay colt, by Sea Horse, brought 4001. ; another by the same sire, 300/. ; and a bay filly by Magpie, 300 guineas. It was thought dur ing the day that M. Delkins attended on behalf of the Emperor of the French, but it was afterwards knows e that the p ar t y f or w h om h e was purc h as i n g :wos ce t i , Count Raworoski, a Polish nobleman of spo r ting_ brit y.
