FATAL BALLOON ASCENT.—On Monday afternoon Mr. R. green made an ascent from Cardiff in a balloon belonging to Mr. Wadman, of this city, and it is feared the aeronaut has perished. The balloon was discovered early on Tuesday morning by a working man named James Brune, who, terrified at its appearance, hastened to Mr. Scott, his master, and gave information of what he had seen. Mr. Scott on proceeding to the spot found • the balloon three parts filled with gas, and not at all injured. In the car was a pair of boots, a coat, a neck tie. and four small bags, all of which were wet. The balloon was observed on Monday afternoon at Clevedon. crossing the Severn from the direction of Cardiff, and taking a course down the Channel, and it is c,injectureii that Mr. Green, from some cause or other at present uni xp•ained, /VAS compelled to quit the balloon for the water, and there is too much reason to fear that he ha. a t/l e e: ln a pw.tan.,eiroy:rave.

From foreign ii , irts we have received liberal supplies of Indian corn and flour, but only small of wheat. The exports in the same time, with the exception of 7,521 quarters of Indian corn to Ireland, are quite unimportant. The trade, under the influence of fine weather, has been quiet, though for wheat and flour prices have been well supported. Indian corn was offered at a further de. cline of 6d. per quarter, without leading to much business. In other articles nothing calling tor remark has occurred. At this day's market, with a thin attendance of town and country buyers and a continuance of splendid weather, wheat and flour met with a languid demand at about the currency of Tuesday. Oats and oatmeal attranted little attention, but maintained their value. Some inquiry was experienced for barley, beans, and peas at late rates. Indian corn move off slowly at a re duction of 6d. to Is. per quarter, 355. being now the extreme value of prime yellow. EXETER, JULY 13.—Cattle—The approaching fair on Wed.. nesday has had its effect on the cattle market, the number of bests driven in not amiunting to more than one-half the aversge. For the most part, it consisted of fat beef, much of , which was of very gond quality. For the very best, 9s per score was made; nut bullocks of good quality were, in some in stances, offered in vain, at 8s 6d per score. But few cows and calves, and those not of the best quality, were offered, they must be quoted at 7/ to 12' each; rough barreners, 4. 6d to 56 6d per score ; good meaty bullocks, 6 • ; butchers' calves, 4d to 5,1 per lb ; the supply of sheep and lamb+, especially the latter, was enormous, numbering altogether over 1,400 The demand was not brisk, and late rates have been hardly sustained. Prime fat wethers were sold by weight at 5d per lb; and fat ewes, 410 ' • the market was glutted with fat lambs, which sold at about SI J I ; store hogs were from 20s to 25s each, at:d rearing lambs, 183; the supply of pigs was scanty. Pork Carcases The supply was again small, about equal to that of last week, but there was nothing of very supe for quality in the market. Princes ranged from 7s 6. - 1 to 8s 8,1. per score. Pannier—Geese, 4s tid tai 5s 6d each ; ducks, 3,6 d to 5 9 per couple ; fowls, 2s 6d to 3s 63; roasters, 4s to 5s each; leverets, 2s 6d to 3.6 d ; butter 9tl to 10d per Ib; eggs, 16 to 18 for Is. Corn Exchange—The market has been very fully at tended to-day, hut the business transacted has not been large, the millers buying only from hand to mouth, in the expectation that should the present beautiful weather continue, they will soon be enaL led to buy at lower rates ; 75 per bushel was asked for the best warranted wheat ; but we believe most of the business has been done at from 6s 6d to 6s 94 for wheat of this description ; foreign wheats were on offer at 43, to 44s for red, and 50s for white; very little doing in English barley, at 3s 6d to 3s 9d per bushel; foreign ditto, 26 s per quarter; English Oats, 2s 6d to 3s per bushel ; foreign, ditto, 21s per quarter ; flue flour, 36s to 3- , s per sack of - _Bolbs. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY 13.—We have to re port a very steady sugar market, with a fair consumptive de mand, at about former prices ; the buyers appear so far to have had the greater proportion of the is taken off the duty, but in many cases this has been about divided between the seller and the buyer. In refined we have no alteration to notice. Rum is stilt quite neglected —Bristol Mercury. BeasToL, JULY 12.—At to-day's market the supply of English wheat was tolerably p.], and the demand for it and Foreign slow, at last wen k s rates. English, 40. to 484 per imperial quarter ; Foreign. white, 50s to 53s per 4801 bis ; ditto, red, fine qualities, 46s to 48s ; ditto, ordinary qualities, 42, to 44s ; ditto, hard, 28s to 42.. Flour was in moderate request, at unaltered prices t English seconds, 33s to 35s per sack ; American, &c., sweet, 25s to 26s per barrel. For barley there was an extended inquiry, at an advance of 6d to Is per quarter: English malting, 27s to 30s per imperial quarter ; ditto and Foreign grinding, 22s to 25s per 400Ibs. Oats were also the turn dearer, but with little doing in ether spring corn ; Devon and Welsh sold at 18s to 19s per imperial quarter ; Irish, white, 20s to 21s per 3_olbs ; ditto, black, I7s to 18s per im perial quarter; Foreign, none.

ROYAL AIi'I'ILLERY, WW , LWICII, JULY 13.—Prince George of Cam bridge errivid at Woolwich garrison at 11 o'clock A.M. to-day, accompanied by Captain Tay lor, of the Royal Artillery, and of the Qui%n Dowaeer's hour-hold. His Royal highness was r, ceived by Lieutenant-Colons 1 Brereton, C. 8., , R .yal llorsr Artillery, Brigade-Nljor Bingham, and Captain Ty lden, Deputy Assistant giartemiaater tihetteralot Artillery. Ile immediately proceeded to Wool-. wish Corewon where the tro.p, of Royal Horse Artillery had b .en previou.ly assemble d under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Bell, and 20 rounds served out to each gun. The troops walked past, and at trot, and afterwards at full gallop, and formed the latter with gr.-atFr re; idity and pr. cision than they had done at any time this season. The troops then went through the exercises and evolutions of a fi Id day in an admir able manner, arid performed 'their difficult duties with the greatest ease and correctness, alth .ugh the ground was very dry and slippery, owing to the state of the weather. At the conclusion of the exercises his Royal Highness proceeded through the north arch of the bar racks to the field battery branch of the ordnance service, and was accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson the crmmanding officer, over the whole of the stables, entering one door on the north side and returning by the south side door through the next st:ble. Fitly of the field battery horses, kept in the south barrack squara, were also taken out of their stables and arranged in a line in the square, and hi. Royal Highness minutely An 7 bpeeted every ono of them, and subsequently expresse d . to Lieut..naot• Colonel Anderson his approbation of their excellent condition. His Royal Highness, with the officers, then proceeded to the mess-room and partook of refreshments before leaving for town. The following general order has just been issued : " The Mister-General his directed the Commandant to express the gratification he experienced at the review on Tuesday, July 3. The excellent marching, soldier-like appearance, and steadiness of all under arms, with the correct movements in the field, far surpassed the expec tations of the Master-General ; and his perfect appro bation of the whole of the movements of the Horse Artillery, field batteries, and battalions, Sir Thomas Dowtmaan is desired to say, could not be too strongly expressed. The Commandant has the greater pleasure in circulating this flittering order, being convinced it will tend to the exertion of all parties on a future occasion." The Queen was this day pkased so confer the honour of Knighthood upon Commander William Winniets, of the Royal Navy, Lieutenant-Governor of the Gold Coast. DOWNING-STREET, JULY 13.

De6bffood to be Captain, by purchase, rice Shelley, who CHOLERA IN THE CITY.— rile immediate connexion of the spread of this endemic scourge and the tmtid ex hslations issuing from the air-holes and gratings of the sewers, has just received melancholy proofs in Poppin's court, Fleet-street, a narrow, ill-ventilated, and popu , boils avenue, bounded by lofty buildings, and en tered by a low archway beneath one of the houses in the main thoroughfare. Mi 'way in this alley is a vent hole, and at each side, near the kerb stone, which bounds a very narrow pavement, are two large open drains. In most directions of the wind, these foci of atmospheric contamination send their malaria to the noses and lungs of the people who form the ceaseless crowd which streams along that populous thoroughfare. The deaths of the dwellers in the immediate neighbourhood, as might be expected, are more readily traceable to this, source. A few days since the foreman of Mr. Sabine, card maker, who worked opposite the gully-holes, died of cholera. Typhus, says Mr. 13owie, surgeon, is seldom absent from the place. Lastly, Mr. Groves, fruiterer, who also lived facirg them, now lies dead, after an attack of cholera of a few hours' duration.

Yesterday an adjourned special meeting of the share holders of this railway was held for the purpose of elect ing eight new directors. The proceedings were conducted with a degree of order and promptitude quite surprising, when the violence and uproar of recent meetings are re membered. There was occasionally a partial recurrence of those scenes, but it is to be hoped that the stage of anarchy with this company is now over, and that in fu ture the shareholders will assemble together as men of sober and business habits should. Mr. Anderson filled the chair, acid there were a considerable number of pro prietors present. Mr. Roney, the secretary, havit,g complied with the usual forms for constituting the meet ing, the Chairman was about to proceed with the busi ness ot the meeting, when a proprietor named Dr. Riley made a formal request to be heard This was at once granted, but his observations wandered so far from the real question at issue that he was called to order by the Chairman. and finally put down by the meeting. Mr. ROBERT Wxecoxost then came forward, and said that his object was to nominate eight gentlemen, whose names he would submit separately, to fill the onerous duties of directors in the Eastern Counties Railwa) Company. He regretted that on this paint differences of opinion had arisen, which were calculated greatly to damage their property; but be hoped that finally they would select men in whose high character and faithful administration of the company's affairs they might, have the utmost confidence. lie proposed as the first name in his list of new directors, Mr. Thomas Broadbent, of Manchester. A variety of questions were here put both to Mr. Broadbent and to the secretary. Among these was one whether or not the latter had not received 25.000 proxy votes, which would swamp all that could be dune in the way of opposition by that meeting. Mr. RONEY replied that 869 proxies had been received, representing 1,609.4001. of the company's stock, and thus giving to Mr. Wileoxou's list the support of a very large number ot votes In answer to qut.s;ions insinuating that this support had been obtained in an improper muntier, letters %ere produced to show that the proxies were given without solicitation; arid to a proprietor who wished to know who bore the expense of the postage of so many letters, an assurance wa , i given that it was not the company. Mr. Broarihent was asked whether he would give hi, attendance at the board, and pay his own fare to and from Manchester for that purpose—whether also' he op proved of Lord Monteugle s Bill for securing a Govern ment audit of railway accounts. Having given satis'ac. tory it not affirmative answers and explanations on these and other points, Mr. Broadbent was almost unanimously elected as director. The following gentlemen were then elected, each run ning a similar gauntlet of questions, to which the replies were perfectly satisfactory :—Mr. Samuel Ellis, Mr. E. L. Betts, Mr. J. A. T. Sm) the, Mr. Joseph Glyn, Air. T. J. Margrave, Mr. George 11.-. ad, and Mr. James Packe. Mr. itiunßosE MoonE apologised to the meeting for the absence , of Mr. Me.-k, vt ho was unwell. He vindi cated that gen:lemau's motives in pr4po ß i ng a list of candi:lates for the direction diffQr.nt from that now sob • mitted, and in his own mime and that of the other gentlemen included in that list assured the meeting that they were actua ed only by a wish to make 2i tF nder of their services to the company, so that its affiirs might once more be placed on u sound footing. They had made it a condition in qutslifjing themselves to become direc tors, that there should be no canvass ou their behalf, and he would heartily rejoice in the selection of any board of directors who had the confidence of the proprietors, and who would give to the aftlirs of the railway that per auperintendenc, without which no commercial undertaking eoult' succeed. In answer to a question put by one of the shareholders to Mr. Betts, as to whether he and Mr. Petu were nut relived, Mr. PETo stood forward and said, that he was there simply as an Eastern Counties proprietor, but he wss prepared to answer any question that could effect th character ei•her of himself or Mr. Betts —(Herr. hear.) Those who knew him knew that he shrank from no in quiry, tied he defied any one there present to point out en act of his, in connexion with that or any oth,r com play, which was not consistent with the character of a man of integrity and honesty.—(liear, hear.) During the election of the directors proposed by Mr. Wilcoxon, N; r. Box, Mr. 111 !pa, and other proprietors, who wine listened to with great attention at the ri-cent stormy meetings of the company, endeavoured in vain rig make themselves heard, and the shareholders quietly elected to effice the identical eight gentlemen nominated by the committee of sdecticn, whoso names at the last meeting they rejected. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to Mr. Anderson for his conduct in the chair, and un ac knowledgment that he was not compromised in those transactions which had made it nec , s-ary to intrust the affairs of the company to a new board ut direction. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM. A special meeting of ibis comp ,ny was held yesterday, at the office in Moorgate-street, for the purpose of conii dering the draught 01 a Bill now butore Parliament; Alr. W. Ormsby Gore, M.P., in the chair. The solicitor r. ad the side heads of the Bill, from which it appeared the object was to abandon the construc tion of the two branch lines to Madeley and Coalnroolt• dale, and to substitute the construction of one line To .-ifeet the same obi, cr. to reduce the capital of the Stour Valley line Iron, 31)0,0001. t 190,0871., to confirm the legality of the 19 375 preference altar , s, bearing interest 8 per cent. per annum for 10 y ears and 6 per cent, in p) rpetuity aterwards, and to remove the present dis tint:lions between the A and B shares, so that, atter the •;n , of the Bill, the capital of the company w )uld consist of 104,000 shares of 91. 12s. 3'l. each, and a guaranteed stock of 190 0871. guaranteed by the London and North-Western Company. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution to the effect that the Bill be approved, and the direcnors be authoriz,d to prosecute the same in the House of Lords. Mr. BLANDFORD said he was opposed to branch lines in general, aiLd would he glad of some explanation with regard to those mentioned in the Bill. The CHAIRMAN in reply, stated that their object in substituting the construction of one line in piece of two lines was to save an outlay of 65,000 t. The district through which the line passed was thickly vuddtd with iron -works, and the only inconvenience arising from the proposed deviation, by which they would save the 63,000/., was a delay of about five minutes to the passeng , ra. M•. BLANDFORD had no d..tibt that the directors were pr. par. d to advance reasons in support of the measures propscd in the Bin, und the only question was whether th. y had ad , •ptt.d the best course. The CHAIRMAN said they were perfectly justified in malctng the tlev:ation. ' A long discussion ensued with respect to the pros pects of the undertaking, in the course of which it was stated that 13 miles in length of the line were already open, and that 161 miles remained to be opened. The whole line from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton would be opened by September next, with the exception of the tunnel, which distance would be performed by omnibuses until completed. Mr. TEMPLE was sorry to see that their chairman joined the opposition to the Audit Bill, but he (Mr. Temple) was of opinion that, after the exposure of Mr. lluds.m and others, the public ought to be protected by the appointment of some public auditor. He tho . ugh t they ought to view with suspicion the assertion of the non-expediency of a public audit, more particularly looking at the iudividultse w ho ha d taken part in the demonstration. The CHAIRMAN said he had been informed that he had been very strongly attacked in the Times on the subject of the audit, but as be bad not seen the article he could not reply to it then. lie had been in c autnu nication with the principal railway men, who all cur l • currvd in thinking that it would be an injustice to inter fere, as the Audit Bill propo ed, with the internal ann.i ninistration of railway companies; and its operation s would be to render directors perfectly useless. The measure also contemplated a large impost on railway companies to pay for the audit, and on those and other grounds he eptyised it. Mr. TEMPLE said, if the article in the Times was correct, all the arguments as to difficulty were obviated, All, it appears, the Government ask is that a public auditor should be associated with the company's audi tors; and if they investigated the accounts together, no such expense as had beer, represented would be the result. Mr. CHANCE, a director, was in favour 01 a good audi'. Sir JAMES MA.LCULII expressed a similar opinion. Mr. BnaNDFortn said het believed it was a Govern ment job. Mr. THoRNEYCRoFT said that wherever Government interfered it would be found injurious. After some further observations the Bill was approved, and a vote of thanks passed to the chairman. The meeting then separated. LEEDS AND THIRSIC. Tho opening of this line of railway took place on Monday, the 9th in s t., on which day ch. , direct ors and shareholders had a trip from Leeds to Thirak and back. in Wellington- A train started from the joint station, a nd North-Western at street (now occupied by Company), about hali-k the London o'clock , and two others followed it in about twenty a e plain refreshment w as pro vided. The pass en g ers' nt s yruMutes. Thee trains p ro . ceded to Thirsk, wh then returned to Leeds, and arrived in perfect saleiy. On the t ;!lowing day the lice Wa s or net 1 fur the conveyance of passen gers. G , ,ods traffic will commence as to. , n as the arrangements of the company are sufficiently matured. The distance that will hi! saved between Leeds and Think is about fourteen miles, und in point of time up wards of au hour will be gained. Tradesmen and manufacturers in the north will be able to leave N(tV cas;le or any of the neighbouring places in the mornii,g and reach Leeds soon atter ten o'clock A.M. They will thereby be enabled to spend the greater part of the day in business transactions, &c., and return early the same evening. The like facilities will be afforded to the towns of Bradford, Hudder4eld, and the manufacturing dia .ricts of Yoi kshire, Lancashire, &a. This will supply to he inhabitants of Leeds sad the neighbourhood the ad , vantage.of more expeditiously visiting Iltley, the Bin Lstsblishment, and the ancient abbey of Bol ton, and Harrogate. The corcpaq itltend to ettoourege . , „ . --- . - nheap travelling by the issuo of day tickets, also season 1 tickets for twelve months and under. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. It appears that one ot the proprietors of this railway is endeavi,uring to call the attention of his brother share holders to the proposed lease of a portion of the London and Portsmouth line, extending from Epsom to Leather head, at a rent equal to six per cent. per annum on its cost, and in addition tberr t o a p rem i um o f 20,000 1 He is of Opinion that th e di rectors of the London and BriAton Company should be called upon to resign their stts at the board in consequeneo of entering into this " extrwavant" arrange -went. He states that the agree ment with the Direct Portsmouth Company is described by the secretary of the Brighton Comp any as a tra ffi c arrangement amounting practically to a proposal to give 3,00ti1. a year for the four miles ot railway between Ep som and Leatherhead, subject, however, to confirmatica by the proprietors at the meeting of the company on th e 25th inst., when the whole question will be stated to the proprietors. SOCIETY FOR THE IMPROVE MENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE LA BOURING CLASSES. On Teureday the annual meeting of this society was held at Willis's Rooms, and was presided over by Lord Aebley. The attendance on the occasion was very small, not numbering more than 100 persons. Lord ASHLEY. in opening the proceedings, expressed his regret that from unavoidable causes the meeting of • he society had been put off to a period of the year when frem the heat of the weather a large assemblage could riot be expected ; but he could assure them the so ciety bad nut been negligent of its duties. Arrangements had been made for the exertion of two new model lodg ing-ht uses—one to hold fifty or sixty unmarried women, in Hatton-garden; and the other, the foundations of which had already been laid, capable of accommodating fifty entire families. The last was to be constructed on such a plan that there would be a distinct dwelling for each family, which would thereby enjoy all the comforts of domestic life. A model of the new building lay on the table before him, being the design of Mr. Roberts, the honorary architect of the society, a gentleman whose labour* be warmly eulogised. The society bad still to deplore their inability to do anything effectual in respect to loan tioeieties and loan funds. On this sub ject he had to recommend the study of a lecture delivered by Mr. Buller at Nottingham, on the sub ject of deterred annuities. As to the allotment system, it was not ncessary for him to say a word, the experiments made thereon being so complete as to render it unneces.ary to demonstrate their useful ness. The main matter which the society had to cou sider was the present state of the dwellings of the work leg classes, or what he might cull their demiciliary condition. Every day's experience convinced him that this question lay ut the root of nine•tenths of the michief which pre‘ail , d amidst the humbler orders of the peeple, arid formed nitie-tenths of the obstacles which obstructed their amelioration. It was to no purpose that schemes for their improvement were set on fait, or that institutions were founded to elevate their contrition, if they weft+ left in those wretched abodes where they now spent the greater portion of their lives. He would state what he had seen with his own eyes, leaving the meeting to judge what possibility of social improve ment there could be amidst such influences. He had seen living in a single room, in a cellar, damp, cold, and miserable, thirteen or fourteen persons, and as many as seven in a bed. To what purpose was it to invite children from these dens to their national schools and their Borough road and Ragged Schools, if, after receiving the bless ings of education during the day, they re turned at night to scenes of such disgusting infamy and distress ? Amongst all the evils that afflicted the human body, and made a recipient for disease, there was none so prejudicial as this system of over-crowding, and as a member of the Board of Health he could state that cholera was principally brought on by this system of cramming people into small ill ventilated dwellings. The society was not a cha eitab!e society. It p ro f esse d to set up model build ings, by which the Labe uricg classes 'night be enabled to enjoy necessary comforts, and to prove that this was a profitable investment of capital. Nor had its efferts been unsuccessful in this respect, although the example it had set had not be en imitated to the extent that its friends could wish lie bad heard that a similar effort had been made in Paris on behalf of the working classes, and that the Precedent of the French Republic had subscribed for that purpose 2,0001. lii Berlin, also, an attempt of the kind had been commenced, and in many of the large towns throughout the kingdom the example which the society had set was about to be followed. He concluded by expressing his confident hope that, under the Divine blessing, the 1 ff. .rti of ihe society would he croened with success in the important objects which it had in view. '1 he SECRETARY then read the report, which entered into a d, rsie d statement of the society's operations . 4 uring the year, and of the progress which it had made. It bore testimony to the beneficial effect produced upon ell who had bec-me inmates of the model lodging houses, and showed the extent to which the society's ex amp'e had been followed at home and abroad. 'lle Rev. E. BICKERSTETH na,ved that the report be adopted. Viscount CASTLEREAGH seconded the motion, and in doing so expressed his strong desire to see similar so cieties established in Ireland. There was, he said, every anxiety on the part of Irish proirietors to do what they could to ameliorate the condition of the people, but and. r the present circumstances of that unfortunate country improvement must necessarily be very slow in its progress. Toe PROVOST of Worcrster College, Oxford, moved the second resolution, and in doing so adverted parti cularly to the necessity which existed of improving the cottage , * of labourers in the country, and by the allot ment syst, m and otherwise of ameliorating their present wretched condition. The resolutasu i'Vas••••• " 1 hat the present most defective state of the theca lines of the lebeuring classes is one of the chief ob• stades to their moral Au d soi•ial amelioration; conse quently, that this society is called upon by considers !ons affecting not only ito , health and physical comfort, but also the teghs st and best interests of those classes, to persevere in its i ffirs s for the improvement of their do miciliery condition, and desire s tit the same time to ac knowleoge with unfeigned thankailness to Almighty God the measure of success which has hitherto attended its operatiens in ;hat depat Merit." Dr, SOUTIIWOOD Satins secor.dcd the motion, and in Ling so said that he had no conception of the true place which the ohjtcts contemplated by the society held amongst those to which the wise and good were bound to dedicate their lives, until he went himself and inspected the condition of the abodes of the labouring classes. He alwa) a believed that the state of their resi dences exercised a merel is well as physical and intellec tual iilluence upon the in, but of the exti nt of that influence he had no knowlee ge until he hLd seen the e fleets pro duet d by the it le moval from the dens of filth and miss ry in which they had previously lived, and placed in habi tations which it wits nu abuse , of the term to call houseg. Atter a r• sidenee of a few months there was a complete change in their character and appearance—a change which was not confined to their bodily health, but ex tended to their intehectual and moral condition. Ho illustrated !his by several inferesing cases. Referring to the Metropolitan Building Asseciation. a kindred society, to the care of which 800 people had been intrusted durin g the past year, he stated that the average mortality among that Number was not more than one half ce chat it was in the metropolis generally; and that out uf 500 children, the greater number under the age of five years, when the constitution was most exposed to the influences of bad atmospheres, the mortality had been eight times less than the average, arid, as com pared with four of the moat unhealthy dis• tricts, ten times less. No case of typhus fever or of cholera had occurred. These facts were most enctai mime., * b e cause they showed that the society i was moving in the right direction, and that however mportant it might be tee elevate the intellectual and morel con di t i on Of tfie working classes, it was necessary to commence by relieving them from the physical evils which surrounded them. Mr. NEWDEGATE and Viscount BRACELET moved and seconded the foilowitig restilution,w haat was agreed tot— .* That this meeting decidedly approves of the efforts made by the society to improve the dwellings of the labouring classes by ereetit g buildings as models suit able for a town pepulatiott, and by circulating plans of cottages adapted for eoun ry leeboure rs; also of its con mated exertions to diast.nauate the advantages of the field garden or allotment system." The procee dings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman. --- ACCIDENT TO JOHN LIACK IiNZIE, ESQ., NESS !JOUSE.—An accident cf a serious nature occurred, we are sorry to say, a t Beau, on ThUrsday night last, rm ii to Mr. Mackei.zie, Ness lions;'.
