A DIALOGUE at DONCASTER Two gentlemen, whose names I need not mention, One day last week Began to speak Of something which enlisted my attention. " Pray (said the first one). had you mu - li at stake, And have yell anything worth while to take ?" " Not much (replied the second), When every thing is reckoned : A half-a-dozen sovereigns, I suppose, Barely eno gin to buy a suit of clothes." "Barely enough for what ?" exclaimed his friend, " You're out of reckoning there, I must contend. A suit will never cost you that, Wherever do you purchase at? MOSES an I SON Would sell you one For infinite!y less; A. suit that you'll pronounce to be, In point of style and quality, A most superior dress. Nay I would really lay a bet with you, That such a sum would almost buy you two. Six pounds, indeed, what next? The very mention makes me feel quite vext." "Nay (said the other), don't let me Disturb your tranquil feelings, I was not cognizant, you see, Of MOSES' moderate dealings. I've dealt for years and years with one good man, Be, positively. now, I'll change my plan. Six pounds—let's see—if what you say is true, MOSES for that would furn ish me right through; Yes, MOSES would supply for that A pair of Wellingtons—a suit, and hat. Thanks for the hint, I'll not omit to take it, I Want a suit, and M. and SON shadl make it." LIST OF PRICES. ZEADI MAD'.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, .he Company being prohibited, by the S4th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and Are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PRE \ULM SYSTf.—By this plan only one-half of the nremiums • with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p lid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIE:i are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER -HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ,ng the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from eutstaMing debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three mouths after proof of the death of the assured life The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons, approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in connexion with this Company.

The Directors, during the continuance of the prevailing Epidem'c, particularly call the attention of the public to the fact, that Three Months' Policies (renewable, If required, at the expiration of that period) are granted by this Society, covering the risk, not only of Cholera, but of all other diseases. As no charge is made in this office for policy stamp, the premium includes every expense.

The most pleasing and effectual srecific for this desirable object is BOWL ANDS' K. AL TDOIL, so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation. Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which its delicacy and beauty arc so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan, Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa• rency of complexion.

She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afew drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the mast aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the *town of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces heir ou ehildren's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' bac% it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent 40nVillSiOnS, as well AS promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials. looter. miaow to WSW= Grirastono, Usrbary, giagate, ISLAY TONTINE LIFE ASSOCIATION, Provisionally Registered.

The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to ' be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business of a lite assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, sill, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits -of the generallife assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years h's nominee survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental; and, in the ev , nt of his nominee being the last survivor, will become the absce ate owner, in fee simple, of the - entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq , the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire ap probation. The 4, etste is to be vested in three trustee', resident in Scotland.

Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar, York, " To Mr. Thomas Prout, " 14th June, 1847. " Sts,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Nils. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed: I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general lielth T have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effcczed by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief.

CARLISLE, SATURDAY NIGIIT.—The annual meet ing of the East Cumberland Agricultural Society took place here this afternoon, in the Castle-yard. The show of prize cattle, particularly horses and bulls, was most creditable to the exhibitors. At the dinner in the evening the Earl of Lonsiale presided. On his right sat Lord Brougham, Colonel Lowther, M.P., and Mr. P. Howard, M.P. ; on his left the High Sheriff of the county, the lion. C. Howard, M.P., Mr. Hodgson, M P.:the Mayor, &c. Covers were laid for 320, including many of the most respectable squirearchy and tenantry on the border. The dinner took place in the Athenmum•rooms, Shortly after the commencement of the entertainment Lord Brougham found occasion suddenly to leave the room, and was absent for half an hotir. On his return he was most enthusiastically greeted by the assembled company, who had in the interim apparently given up all hope of hearing his Lordship speak. The usual introductory toasts of " The Queen," " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family," with "The Army and Navy," having been drunk with the usual honours, Lord BROUGHAM rose and said—l am about to propose a toast which I am quite sure you anticipate from me at this moment—l mean the health of my Noble Friend on my left, our Chairman, and the president of this society.—(Cheers.) There is no thing more important than that which has occasioned the formation of this association, namely, the promo tion of agriculture in our native country—(Cheers)— and there is no person at the present time in any part of our country to whom agriculture is more deeply indebted than to our Noble Chairman, because of that vigour and earnestness, and that sagacity and skill which he knows so well how to apply to every subject that interests him, and in which, happily for the community, he from time to time takes a part—l allude to various public works of his, such as the reform and improvement of the Post-office, the im provement under the Macadam system of the roads and highways, and various others of the same sort, all important in their kind, but none so important as agriculture—in every one of these he has shown the same distinguished talents, indomitable perseverance, unwearied zeal, well and firmly directed to the accom plishment of his purpose. Since he succeeded to his ample estates on the death of the late Lord-Lieutenant of these counties, he has applied himself to agriculture, as was his bounden duty and also his interest—(Cheers) —but indeed many men do not discharge their duty when it is their interest so to do.—(Cheers.) Else should we see so much bad farming in various parts of the country ? For it is the duty of every farmer to be the best farmer he can, and it is his interest also, yet God wot we do not see every man a good farmer. But my Noble Friend has performed his duty, whether it was his duty or not; and I hope and trust he will, as a good farmer, reap the profits of his good farming.—(Cheers.) I know what he has done, because he stated it at a meeting over which I pre sided a fortnight ago at Penrith. By deep draining (the only true system of drainage, as all farmers must admit,) he has already delivered from water 3,000 acres, and laid no less than 300 lines of deep lineal drains. In praise of him .who, having begun only three years ago this admirably useful course of agricultural improvement, and this great work already by him performed, it is needless to add more. We drink him not only as Lord-Lieutenant of Cumber land and Westmoreland, but in his nearer connexion with our present meeting as President of the East Cumberland Agricultural Society.—(Loud cheers.) The Earl of LONSDALE said his Noble Friend had done no more than justice in attributing to him a desire to promote the prosperity of agriculture, and that, too, more for the purpose of advancing a great national and independent interest than from any benefit it would confer on himself. He believed, indeed, that his own private interests would be bes consulted by applying the money he devoted to agri culturalimprovements in another way. He had thought it his duty to direct a good deal of attention to this subject, in consequence of the peculiar position of England at the present moment, and circum stances connected with ,it, which he viewed as of the highest importance. He was glad to observe the general feeling throughout the country with refer ence to the roprovement of agriculture in order to make us independent of other countries. One proof of this they had in their present meeting, which was not, like that at Penrith, the conjoint association of the two counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland, but an assembly of agriculturists connected only with the immediate locality of Carlisle. Nor was that city inappropriate for the holding of an agricul tural meeting. It was famed, certainly rather as a manufacturing town. But nothing could he better than that manufacturers and agriculturists should unite. They were each other's best customers. If the one felt distress the other must be sickly.— (Cheers.) But, more than that, the neighbourhood of a large town was most beneficial to agriculture. They all knew as a principle that for what was taken from the land something must be returned. For ex ample, a great quantity of manure was necessarily coliected in large towns. This created an intolerable nuisance, which in many places, at the present mo ment, increased, if it did not create, some of those fearful maladies that prevailed in different parts of the country. But its removal to the adjoining districts would improve and fertilize their fields. Much time had been misspent in some large towns on a contro versy which had been going on as to the respective excellence of liquid and solid manures. There were plans laid for conveying over the land meandering streams of diluted manure, so different from the pure mountain streams of the country ; but, as an agri culturist, he advised them against this water•sprink ling system. They would find it very expensive and very unmanageable. From what he had done himself, and from all he had seen of the operations of others, his opinion was they must rely for good and certain crops on the solid manure.—(Cheers.) The effect of such societies as the present was obviously to stimulate agricultural improvement, which they must all admit was possible, in order to obtain the largest product at the smallest expense. —(Cheers.) Landlords were doing much to for ward that object, so were tenants; and at no former period did England ever possess so respectable and intelligent a set of tenantry as at present. Land lords had their own difficulties to contend with, and in some cases they were not able to make the requi site improvements. But he thought, u n der present circumstances, if they could once make it certain that agriculture would become p ro fit a bl e , there would be no lack of capital or intelli gence t o embark in it.—(Cheers.) With these views, knowing the energies which were now put forth in every part of the country, and seeing that Englishmen had never failed in the pursuit of any object they wished to attain, he had no despondency with reference to agriculture; and he hoped when they met next year they would have as good a prospect before th em as had ever been looked upon in this country.—(Cheers.) The Noble CHAIRMAN then proposed "the Health of the High Sheriff;" which was most cordially re ceived. The HIGH SHERIFF, in returning thank s , o b serve d, that in being thus prominently brought before the meeting, he felt he might briefly say that, like an unhappy chieftain in the East who had lately received sentence of death, he was indeed the victim of circum stances , and, like the unhappy 111 oolraj, h e was en titled to the indulgent consideration of his hearers.— (A laugh.) It was his earnest desire to discharge the duties of the high office he most unworthily filled to the satisfaction of the community, and it was most gratifying to his feelings to find that his humble en deavours had been se favourably received. He con sidered it the duty of the High Sheriff to attend all such meetings as the present, which he did consider highly beneficial to the country. Not pretending to know or say anything which could be int eres t es ti ng to them on the subject of agricultural improvement, he would content himselt with expressing his grati fication at witnessing the good feeling that prevailed throughout the county. However strenuously, as oc casion might require, they were disposed to exert them selves to carry their own party opinions and interests, when the strife was over they all met in good fellow ship, and that rendered the execution of his duties most agreeable to him.He did not lo o k f or un bounded prosperity, or anticipate the reign of universal peace throughout the world; but, to repeat the obser vation of his Nob!e and Learned Friend Lord Brougham at Penrith, if they might not see the day when the lion would lay down with the lamb, they bad at least the satisfaction of seeing upon that occa sion the blue and yellow boar feed together. The Earl of LONSDALE had the greatest satisfaction in now proposing the health of his Noble Friend on the right, whose presence among them he was sure they all hailed with grateful delight.—(Cheers.) It was not for him to refer to the high offices in the state which Lord Brougham had filled, or the ells• tinguished abilities he brought to the discharge of every function he might undertake. But to come at once home to the particular busine!s of their meeting, he would say that whenever his Noble and Learned Friend applied his active mind to any thing, good was always the result. At the late Pen rith meeting his Noble Friend made some most j ust and valuable observations as to the importance of farmers keeping ace aunts. This undoubtedly was a most difficult subject. He himself had seen all sorts of accounts. As treasurer of the navy and in the office of Postmaster-General he had known what public accounts were. He could manage public accounts, but a farming account was a hopeless affair. /NI in tenths, he believed, of the farmers could not tell what they lost or gained by. They knew the general result at the end of the year, but the particulars were un known. Within two or three days, however, of the observations made by his Noble friend, a most intel ligent land-agent announced that he was preparing a set of farmers' accounts—that Lord Brougham had explained everything he had long thought about— (Cheers) —and he should take an extract from his speech as a motto for the book.- - -(Cheers.) Here was a practical illustration of the advantage their society had derived from the countenance and support of his Noble Friend.—(Cheers.) Without further preface he begged to give " the health of Lord Brougham." The toast was drunk with all the honours, and " good fire." Lord BROUGITAM, in acknowledging the compli ment, said—l am exceedingly obliged to you for the kind way in which you have rec€ ived my Noble Friend's proposal, as also to him for the very flatter ' ing, I should say exaggerated, manner in which he stated his case when giving my health. No doubt there is one point in which I entirely agree with him that he could not overstate—it is my decided attach ment to and affection for the agricultural classes of the community. Though I may differ from some here, and many not here present, in approving of measures which they did not think betokened a very wise and well considered affection for agriculture, on which I respectfully, but very firmly and conscien tiously, take leave to differ with them and to act upon my own opinion, upon one subject I never had the least doubt, and I believe no man can have any doubt. It was referred to most properly and judiciously by my Noble Friend in the chair. It is the greatest delusion in all the world—a delusion on the part of some to suppose—as it is a fraud on the part of others to pretend, that there is a conflicting interest between the agricultural, the commercial, and manufacturing classes of the community.—(Cheers.) That interest is one and the same.—(Cheers.) As my Noble Friend most happily observed, if agriculture is going down or suffering, commerce is pretty sure to be sick. —(Cheers.) It was said long ago by a very great merchant, Sir Josiah Chill, whose words I have over and over quoted in both Houses of Parliament, and every one admits the moment he hears them, though like many people who admit things when they hear them—for example on Sunday, they forget them on Monday—(A. laugh)—says Sir Josiah Child, " Trade and the land are knit together so as it never shall be well with the land if trade fells, and it never shall be ill with trade if land flourishes,"—(Loud cheers.) That is my creed on the subject; the creed I hold on Sa turday and Monday as well as on Sunday.—(A laugh.) Now one word as to what my Noble Friend stated of the importance of these meetings. They aps pear to me of the highest importance. If it were no more, they bring together many differently constituted minds, with various modes of expression, and farmers, as well as other classes of the community, if they would convey to each other the results of their experi ence, will be sure, in the amicable collision of their dif ferent minds, to strike out sparks of light. That is quite certain. My Noble Friend has given you oae instance, I will state another, and rather of a remark able character. My Noble Friend has adverted to the urgency with which I insisted on a former occa sion that farmers should keep accounts. My Noble Friend stated that it is utterly impossible, under the present system, for the farmer to know whether he gains or loses ; but not only so, suppose he loses one year on the production of a particular article, how is he to guide his practice next year from the experience of the last? It is utterly impossible. Unless he keeps his accounts with tolerable regularity he must needs be in the dark as to the result of the particular processes, and each separate portion of his concerns. —(Cheers.) I don't pretend to be a farmer ; but it is not necessary to be a farmer in order to see the im portance of the subject. I have had communicated to me a proposal from a person to publish a work on farming accounts—a sort of model-farm account-book, and another has sent me an actual book which he had published, which never received public patro nage, but which, since the observations I made, so well received by my Noble Friend and the great meeting at Penrith, has acquired some influence. That is a proof of the importance of such meetings, and the effect of the collision of minds on this impor tant subject.—(Cheers.) You have heard what has been said by my worthy friend and kinsman, our High Sheriff, the Moolraj, as he calls himself— (Much laughter) —though happily he is not in the state of the Moolraj.—(A. laugh.) lie reminds me of an excellent joke he made, and which succeeded perfectly at Penrith, about the blue and yellow boar lying down like the lion and the lamb together. He has repeated his joke. I must add my joke in answer to his. His juke was at my expense. Mine was not at his expense. I return good for evil—(A laugh)— for what,„l said was this—" It was no wonder the blue and yellow should be together, because, as optical philosophers tell us, blue and yellow combined make green; and the blue and yellow now had joined to make the earth more green than it was before."— (Cheers and laughter.) I was rather discouraged at seeing a French newspaper mention, with reference to this matter, that there was a joke they could not comprehend, though they are very apt to comprehend jokes and often to make good ones in Paris. They say they could very well understand the optician's doctrine, that blue and yellow made green; but they could not see what blue and yellow had to do with Brougham and Lowther.—(Much laughter.) So ignorant were these poor people in France—(Continued laughter)—they did not know that the one meant blue and the other yellow, which explained the whole matter. With respect to what my Noble Friend has stated I must beg leave to say a few words. I won't enter into the controversy about manure. I venture with the greatest humility to differ from our Noble Chairman on that subject, and proceed upon most important experiments re cently made. Until they are repeated and thoroughly tested by the repetition, I cannot say whether I abide by liquid or solid manure. That is a matter for further consideration. But there is another subject to which I would direct your attention. There can be no doubt of the great importance of improving agricultural machinery. I adverted on a former occasion to the application of steam for this pur pose. I think it of the highest possible moment (Cheers)—and I have no doubt whatever that before twelve months pass over we shall have attempts made—they may fail at first, as the steam-engineitself failed at first—but which must afterwards succeed.—(Cheers.) What I desire is to see steam engines not too large but on a convenient and inexpensive scale—somewhat between the larger sort and the small teakettle shape, in which such engines have been found practicable in Glasgow for various operations, applied not merely to thrashing, sifting, and chopping machines under cover, but I expect to see them applied in the field itself.— (Cheers.) And if any one should say that this is a chimerical and visionary expectation, I would ask how long is it since you had the expectation that steam carriages would be brought into use ? Yet they are now supplanting horses and carriages of every other description ; why then should I not be permitted to hope that the application of steam should not supplant but aid the horse and ploughman ?—(Cheers.) To take only one instance, there can be no doubt that clodcrushing is a most important operation. On this subject I may be allowed to say that I have contri buted not a little to the advancement of agricultural improvement. The Useful Knowledge Society, under my presidence, has published eight volumes in penny numbers on farm improvements, manure, and machinery. Earl Spencer, unfortunately now no more, vice-president of the society, attended more to those topics than I did, but I als o p aid some attention to them, and, having refreshed my recollection by some of the disquisitions in those works, I find that the important subject of clodcrushing was largely handled, and three or four different kinds of machines are indicated for that purpos e to which steam Is appli cable. Don't let any one suppose that clodcrushing is not of the greatest im p ortance in farming ; to the minute pulverization of th e soil I ascribe a great por tion of its fertility. It stands to reason ; everybody knows how important spade husbandry is, though it takes so much labour; its effects are more visible in Belgium, Holland, and part of France in increasing the fertility of the soil. For what reason ? Nothing of the size, of the tip of your finger but is crushed into dust ; and it stands to reason that should be so. When the clods are heavy, and particularly in clay soils, na ture is allowed to exhaust a great portion of its vegeta tive power in pushing the roots through the incumbent mass; but if you help nature by crushing the clods into a powder like snuff, the root gets through it easily, and no vegetable power is thrown away. To this important point I say I hope to live to see steam power applied. lam most delighted to find that there is a good chance of these remarks, and the still more valuable observations which fell from my Noble Friend in the chair, going forth to the world. I am sure they will do so, for I know through whose hands they will pass—they will go out with most extraor dinary accuracy —much greater accuracy than I am sorry to say belong e d t o th e l oca l repor t t h a t m y Noble Friend and I had been at a small dance together. —(A. laugh.) It was stated that at Brougham I had danced with the country lasses for two or three licu-s together. I wish to God it were true.—(Much laughter.) No one would have been more delighted than myself. But the truth was, I had gone to bed. —(Laughter.) lam particularly glad such was the case, for the sake of a most worthy, noble, and learned friend of mine, my predecessor and successor in office, Lord Lyndhurst, who must have been extremely jealous if any such thing had occurred. Ten or twelve years ago I well remember he made me dance because he did—(A laugh)—and as he did I thought I might as well try.—(A l aug h . ) I a l ways ma i n t a i ne d I beat him that night, while he thought he beat me ; but if he had seen the statement to which I allude, when he, from his unfortunate lameness, cannot dance at all, his jealousy would pass all bounds.—(Much laughter.) As one of the greatest men and lawyers of the present day—as one of my oldest and dearest friends, it gives me the greatest delight to administer the consolation to Lord Lyndhurst, that his reputa tion is in no danger; for I love not passed him behind his back.—(Lcud cheers.) I beg again to tender you my The " health of the Earl of Cathsle " was next proposed by the High Sheriff, drunk with much en thusiasm, my thanks hea f i o t r ii t he ._( k u in r,u d d ne e s h s ee r with s which received you have and neatly acknowldged by the Hon. C. Howard, M.P. The health of Sir James Graham, as the largest proprietor of acreage, and the best cultivated estate in that division of the county, followed amidst loud cheers. The healths of " the Lord Bishop of the Diocese and the Clergy," " the Members for the county and city," " the Mayor and Corporation of Carlisle," - were afterwards given and duly acknowledged. The Earl of LONSDALE then proposed " Success to the East Cumberland Agricultural Society." Estab lished a great many years ago, it bad gone on with snore or less support ; but he believed its founders never anticipated such a meeting as had taken place that day. One of its earliest promoters happened to be present ; and he should therefore associate the toast with the name of his friend Mr. Ferguson, the founder of the society. The Noble Chairman, at some length, referred to the history of the association, and stated, with reference to the agricultural implements which he had been able to introduce in that district, that he hal learned the importance of draining in his manage ment of the metropolitan roads some twenty years ago. Some portion of the county of Middlesex was low and flat, with a strong clay soil. He found that the shallow system of draining took a little water off the surface without strengthening the foundation, and after various consultations he determined on draining a great part of the metropolitan roads five or six feet deep. From that time be found that their maintenance did not exceed half the cost. He remembered on one occasion driving a drain through a gentleman's garden, which was necessary to the particular lo cality. The owner, of course, was offended, lustily protested against their interference, appealed to the Legislature, and in every way opposed their measures. They persevered in their drainage, and, two years afterwards the same gentle man said, "I cannot think what has come to my garden, for the vegetables ccme a month earlier, and all the other produce remains a month later."— (Cheers.) His own experience, as a practical agri cultural improver, did not extend beyond three or four years; he therefore spoke with diffidence, but all he had seen led him to believe that shallow drain ing of 2 feet or 2i feet was throwing their money away. He was accustomed during winter to go over as much farmers' land as any one in the kingdom, keeping as he did a pack of hounds at Tring, and with reference to Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Ox fordshire, and Bedfordshire, he would say he knew at once the depth of drainage in every piece of ground over which he passed. Nothing could be more striking than the difference presented by land under deep and shallow draining. He had seen this exem plified on the estates of two friends of his—the Duke of Northumberland and the Duke of Bedford—of opposite opinions, but both most energetic in en deavouring to improve their lands. The Duke of Bedford, although his predecessor had laid out a great sum of money in shallow draining, had entirely dis carded the system. In fact, deep drainage was the only system that could with propriety be adopted. On his own estate of \Vhitehaven, one farmer who had looked with dismay at his land being cut and hacked about, admitted this year that while the adjoining farms had formerly always reaped before him he now reaped before any of them— (Cheers)—and his har vest this year had come three weeks earlier than usual.—(Cheers.) " The Judges," " The Successful Candidates," "The Unsuccessful Candidates," and "The Vice. President," were next toasted. The Hon. C. HOWARD, M.P., gave " The Press," which was drunk with much applause. Lord BROUGHAM wished to say a few words with reference to the last toast. The press undoubtedly was a moat important power; without it all other powers in the state would be paralyzed.—(Cheers.) Without it, he ventured to say, no taxes could be raised in the country.—(A laugh.) In London there was a great dark building where a concealed manu factory was carried on—a manufactory of tax - s.— (Laughter.) If that was all the public knew about the manufactory of taxes no power on earth could make the people pay them.— (Cheers) The manufactory would not go on to thrive; something would happen to stop the wheels; the oil which kept those wheels going, and he hoped always would—though he wished they would grind a little less than n ow— (Cheers) —the oil which kept those wheels always going was the publicity which the press gave to the proceedings in Parliament. — (Cheers.) It was considered by Parliament a breach of privilege to publish a word of what went on there, but that was a privilege which very justly neither House had been anxious to enforce.—(Cheers.) In various ways the press 'in this country had acted most beneficially; they had all benefited by the dif fusion of useful knowledge. The society of which he was the head had published many thousands of books within the last twenty-five years; amongst others, they published a magazine, which circulated to the extent of 220 ; 000 every week.—(Cheers.) But, with reference to the press generally, he would say that he viewed with gratitude the great services of that valuable instrument of public instruction and good government.—(Cheers.) Other nations were not so happily situated; nothing like a free press existed in France. In short, there was no freedom at all. Perhaps he was now exposing himself to have his liberty cut short when he went through Paris next month—(Laughter)—but, nevertheless, he believed what he had said. Certainly, there was not a very strong Government there, but it was strong enough to keep the press in order—(Laughter)—for they could suppress the newspapers any week.—(A laugh.) That would not be tolerated in this country. Lately it was thought high time that the journals got possession of the Government ; now the Government had possession of the journals. Everybody in the Administration belonged to the National office, where the unhappy revolution was hatched, which plunged France from the height of prosperity into the abyss of ruin. —(Cheers.) In Provence, where he resided, they had a sub-editor of the National as mayor, but he did not complain of that.—(Laughter.) The French had a Republic, it was said, but the only Re publican thing among them was Republican confu sion.— (Great cheering.) There wa s a Republic and no Republicans.—(Laughter.) The people did not pretend to be in favour of the Republic, and when the worthy man now its head went into the country, he heard not " Vive la Republique !" but " Vive l'Empereur!" and " Vive Napoleon!' It was not because the press had done it that he objected to the Republic; he did not care who had done it ; his ob jection was, that the thing had been dune at all. He wished the press to be victorious, and the able men who conducted it known in society ; but he ob. jetted to any set of men making a revolution when the people were in possession of a mild good Go vernment, and no pretence existed for making any change. The Noble and Learned Lord, after some further observa'ions, concluded a speech which was much applauded, by proposing " the Health of the Duke of Richmond and the Royal English Agricul tural Sccietv." Several other toasts were proposed, after which the meeting separated. When man curses, nature still testifies to truth and Cook's Journal, /Q -- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. "TATTERS ALL'S. —YESTERDAY.

PORTSMOUTH", ItioND/tr.—Telegraphic orders came down to Portsmouth on Sunday evening fur the Hecate steam-sloop to be prepared for sea with all possible dispatch, and appointing Commander Hew lett, of the Excellent, to her. The Hecate was brought down early this morning alongside the yard jetty, and being manned with 120 officers and men from the Excellent, with stokers from the Blen heim, she forthwith was coaled, provisioned, and watered, anti to-night will be ready for sea service. Her destination is the Cape of Good Hope, taking Government dispatches for Ge neral Sir Harry Smith, and we conclude it is to rescind the order from the home Government making the Cape a penal colony, and to further pro vide a destination for the convicts sent out in the Neptune, which ship must have arrived at the Cape before this ; and we sincerely hope her arrival may not have occasioned any outbreak nor any collision between the Governor and the colonists. 'We have heard of the island of Tristan de Cunha, which lies about 1,000 miles W.S.W. from the Cape, as likely to be made a penal settlement. We understand it is an island capable of cultivation, and from its isolated position is well adapted for such a purpose, the only difficulty being that the landing is always more or less dangerous. CHOLERA RELIEF. The following letter has been written to the Bishop of London by the Earl of Carlisle : " Grosvenor-place, Sept. 14, 1849. "My dear Lord Bishop,—Some little time ego I received an anonymous letter containing a bank note for 1001., and directing me to apply it to her Majesty's service. Under ordinary circumstances I should have forwarded it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by whom it would of course have been added to the general stock in the coffers of the Treasury. As I conceive, however, that a certain discretion was vested in me, by its being forwarded to me and not to him, I have thought myself at liberty, under the present emergency, to ask you to apply it, in the event of no special committee having been appointed for the pur pose, through the medium of som e o f your a d m i rable clergy, to the relief of families suffering from cholera, or the losses occasioned by it, in the most afflicted districts of your diocese. You will excuse my giving publicity to this letter in order that the donor may be informed how his generous gift has been used; and in order that I may not appear by this possible diversion of it from its intended purpose, to be only making free with the money of others, I shall venture to send the same amount to the Bishop of Winchester for distri bution on the south side of the river. " I have the honour to be, my dear Lord, " Your very faithful servant, " CARLISLE. "To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. perceive in your last Saturday's (15th) paper a return of cholera cases, the last on the list is Newton Abbot, Torquay; deaths, 7 chclera ; 1 This may mihlead many of your readers. I can assure you, as Chairman of the Sanitary Board at Newton Abbot, that we have, as yet, had no cases of cholera in Newton Abbot. Our town is very healthy. Cases of diarrbcsa do occur, but are speedily relieved by our medical men. The cases at Torquay have occurred principally in a back street, very confined and dirty. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT RENDELL. Newton Abbot, Sept. 17, 1849. P.S.—Torquay is in the Newton Abbot Union, this may account for th© naming Newton Abbot in con nexion with Torquay. THE EGLINTON STUD.—The Earl of' Eglinton has sold his celebrated horse Van Tromp, w:nner of the Doncaster St. Leger and the Goodwood and Ascot CI p 3, as a sire, to Mr. Kirby, of York, for a large sum, the precise amount of which has not transpired. Van Tromp will close Lii racing career at the conclusion of the leviathan match with Surplice and Justice, to come off during one of tt e ensuing Newmarket meetings. He will then be delivered up to Mr. Kirby. who some years since was the purchaser of Lanercost, Van Tromp's sire, from Mr. Ramsay, of Bsruton, at the high figure of 3,000/. FALMOUTEE CiIURCII-TARD.-1 correspondent writes us as follows:—On Monday last, in Falmouth church-yard, a scene took place such as would not be allowed by the American Indians to their deceased friends, and that it should occur among a civilised Chris tian people is passing strange. A respectable old in habitant was being lowered into tle gave, but the spat between other cLffins intended for that of the deceased was too small, and it was consequently stopped in its descent by two of those underneath. The service was gone through, and the parson left. It was, of course, impossible to leave the corpse in such a position; the wcrk of removing old coffins, and pushing and dragging them about to obtain room therefore commenced. While in the act of this unseemly work they broke into an old cholera coffin, and ended the wretched scene by leaving the coffin eighteen inches under the surface of the yard. Our correspondent adds that one of the under coffins which prevented the corpse being further lowered was that containing the wife of the deceased and mother of the mourners. Surely we must say, Christianity cannot so sear our feelings that a subject like this should be no th e th f a r n igh in : t one's business , lam forced to say that lately our in torments wo es m a en s i n inwdheieodh, punishes it i with torm ents have been more like the burying of d ogs t h an ,! Christian ren ce , n m a en d hal retribution. Every man in the county ought to raise his voice against it.— Nest Briton. LECTURES ON TRH COTTON MANUFACTURE.—Last night Mr. Frederick Warren, of Manchester, delivered his third facture on the cotton manufacture, before a numerous audience, at the Whittington Club, Strand. The lecture consisted of a rapid sketch of the rise aid progress of the British cotton trade, pointing out the coincidence of its growth with the various improvements effected in machinery, and showing the simultaneous ad vancement of other industrial interests, such as the shipping interest, the coal, iron, leather, oil, and other trades. It also dwelt on the influence of the cotton trade upon the wealth of the nation, and of machinery on the condition and comrorts of the people. The lecture was illustrated by a series of working models of the most improved machinery used in the manufacture of cotton cloth, and the different manu'acturing processes were gone through s ystematically, from the el( nosing of the raw cotton to its being finally woven by the power•loom. For this purpose the apparatus was set in motion by steam powers when the various operation s were popu l ar l y The lecture excited th e greatest i nterest , e an p ct lnd. was very favourably received by the auditory. It was originally intended that the fourth lecture should conclude the course; but it was announced last night that a supplementary lecture is to be added. 1
