'ROBINS respectfully makes known to all capitalists, and especially those who would speculate without risk, that he is directed to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION (and peremptorily), the latter end of February, THE COLOSSEUM IN THE REGENT'S PARK, Fortunately this absolute WONDER OF THE WORLD (Abridged from the Dorsey County Chronicle.) The exhibition of prize cattle, and annual dinner of the Society took place on Friday last, in Yeovil, and the town was very full of the neighbouring gentry and yeomanry. William Pinney, Esq., of Lyme, was the Chairman, and presided on the occasion with much good humour, tact, and judgment. He was supported, on his right, by T. D. Adana', Esq., M.l'., G. Harbin, Esq., T. Hoskins, Esq., and C. A. Moody, Esq. ; on his left by F. H. Dickinson, Esq., M.P., E. A. Sanford, Esq., W. L. White, Esq., and Sealy Bridge, Esq. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing, after the usual loyal toasts, " The Members for the County," said that he differed with his honourable relative and friend on political subjects, but really there had become such a wonderful coincidence of opinion, of late, upon ques tions of the greatest importance—(Laughter)—that he hoped the time would come when the Chairman of a public meeting, in prefacing this toast, would be able to do so without the danger of exciting diffe rences of opinion.—(Hear, hear.) He gave them the Members of the County, especially Mr. Acland and Mr. Dickinson .—(Three times three.) T. D. ACLAND, Esq., M.P., rose, and was loudly applauded. He thought that this was not a time for political discussion, but custom had placed upon those who were honoured with the high and important:dis tinction of being their representives, the duty of doing something more than merely to express their thanks, when their healths were drank in a public assemblage of their constituents, although they were not, on such occasions as the present, to argue in favour of their opinions, or in support of the party with whom they had generally acted as public men.—(Hear, hear.) He was not, then, about to argue in defence of his po litical opinions, or in „ support of the present Govern ment; but as times had somewhat changed, he would say that he had come there to meet them with the same independence as he met them when, at their call, he was placed in, the position he now filled; and whatever might occur, he should hereafter maintain the same independent course, exercising his deliberate judgment upon all questions which might come under his consi deration. He was not there to defend his opinions, or to argue in favour of the present Government, but this he would say, that he was ready to defend his conduct in having given his independent support to the present Government generally, although the time might come when he might feel it to be his duty to act otherwise. He would not allude to all the measures of the late Government, but would confine himself to those ques tions affecting that particular interest, agriculture, with which the present meeting was connected— (Hear, hear)—and he would say that he had advisedly supported the Government on these measures, from the conviction that, in these times, no class of the community ought to wish or expect to have such pro tection as was injurious to other classes, and to the general interests of the country ; and it was his opi nion that all these questions should be met with great consideration and with moderation by all parties.— (Hear.) But he would observe that they must not rely too much upon the Legislature for what was called protection against, foreign competition, for the time was COme when the best security for all interests was in increased intelligence and perseverance, so that they might prOtluee the bust articles at the loWest rate. This might be taken to apply alike to agricul ture and to manufactures, for these were not times when any class could safely rest upon their oars, but all must endeavour. if they would withstand foreign competition, to produce the best article at the lowest price. He hoped that whatever changes had taken place, or might take place—he did not know of any further changes in contemplation—they would, look ing to the balance of interests, work for the good of all.—(Hear.) He knew his own ignorance too well to come there to talk to them of practical agriculture : he knew but little of agricultural matters; he wished he knew more ; but they must rest on improvement, as must other interests, and 'not on legislation. He was glad to see such meetings as these, the objects of which were to improve their stock and produce by ex citing emulation—from the great breeder and fanner down to the poor cottager who competed for veeta bles, and to whom, although this Society he believed did not, some of the other Societies did, give rewards. He was a supporter of such Societies, because he was convinced that alley tended to the benefit of all con cerned in agriculture, and to the good of the country. F. 11. DICKINSON, Esq., M.P., rose and was cheered by the company. As to his conduct in Parliament, he had taken that course which he intended to take on being sent as one of their representatives. He had considered it to be his duty to take an independent course, recollecting that he was not the representa tive of local interests only, but the representative of all England. He felt it to be his duty to support the Queen's Government on all occasions when he could consistently do so, but in this he had acted indepen dently, exercising his best judgment upon all ques tions, and voting accordingly. It might be that many differed from him, but if such was the case generally, the remedy was in their own hands, and he should never feel animosity against any man should he be called upon to relinquish the position he now proudly occupied.—(Hear, hear.) It would, however, be most gratifying to him to have their good opinion, and he hoped when they saw that the late measures of the present Government were not attended with those disastrous consequences which many anticipated, they would be more agreed, and he should have their approval. Mr. SANYO* on rising to return thanks for his health being drunk, was greeted with loud applause. It was impossible, after what had taken place that evening, not to make an observation or two ; but he would do it with that kind feeling which had been evinced by his friends.—(Hear.) It was true that himself and his honourable friends did differ—he might almost say, had differed—and on subjects of the great est importance ; but if they differed, they were equally independent. God forbid that the representation of this great county should ever be placed in the hands of men who would not act with the utmost independ ence—(Cheers)—and no one would apply to the name of Acland or Dickinson anything that was not allied to independence.—(Hear, hear.) He had no doubt that his honourable friends, their representatives, had taken a conscientious course, and had done what they believed to be best for the country ; nor did he doubt that, had they before seen cause for entertaining the opinions they had now expressed, they would have manfialy avowed those opinions. —(Hear, hear.) ale was not disappointed at what had taken place, nor at what had fallen from his friends ; he expected this change, but he must say it had come a little sooner _than he expected.—(Laughter.) He now came among them as an independent man, having no re sponsibility upon him as a public character, and as such he would say to them, place no reliance on pro tection Whatever.—(Sensation.) Mr. Sanford, with considerable warmth and energy, exclaimed—" I will say again, place no dependence on any legislative pro tection, but trust more to yourselves; for if you trust to protection for the future, you will, I am firmly persuaded, trust to a reed that will bruise you.— (Increased sensation.) I hope I have not said any thing too strongly savouring of politics, but I feel that I ought to express to you, when I receive so much kindness, my honest convictions ; and as one wholly 'dependent upon agriculture for all I possess, I have only said to you what I would say to my own tenants were I sitting with them at my own table. — (Cheers.) If I have said anything I ought not to have said, lam ready to apologise.—(No, no.) I admit that I do feel heated with the subject."—(Ap plause.) He then proceeded to address the meeting upon purely agricultural subjects, and strongly re commended draining, with long leases. It had been said that draining was the landlord's work ; he did not altogether agree with that, and would ask if it would not be much better done by the tenant, who should have a long lease to counterbalance the outlay. The CHAIRMAN said there was a gentleman present . who was to succeed him in the Chair next year, and he was most happy to resign the office into such able hands ; he proposed " The health of Mr. Moody." He absconded on the afternoon of the 26th November, and was last seen in Lombard-street, about four o'clock on that day. His height is about 5 feet 11 inches, thin person, fair complexion, light hair, long thin face, prominent nose, with redness on the bridge, grey eyes, walks stooping, with head leaning forward.

Bush and Mullens, 7, Mildred's-court, London. has acquired a fame that relieves the individual who is honoured by the direction of the sale from the necessity to exert his in ventive faculties, or to give a lengthened description, so long antecedently to the sale, of its prominent features. The public shall be reminded of this important sale by an announcement more in accordance with its high qualifications in due time; it may suffice for the present to say of - THE COLOSSEUM, THAT IT IS THE MOST CLASSICAL BUILDING THROUGHOUT EUROPE. (This observation is made advisedly.) And this mighty effort of labour and science has secured for many years AN INCOME OF FIVE THOUSAND A YEAR, without the slightest artificial aid. and it is placed beyond doubt that. in the hands of a talented and ingenious possessor, this steady income would in due time be greatly increased. The tenure may be assimilated to freehold, inasmuch as the ground rent is a mere bagatelle, and the lease of the Crown hath 70 years still unexpired.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commence ment in 1834. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scales and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December 1840, is as follows : Sum Assured. Time Assured.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As sured have the security of the Company's income of £50,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and oche r available securities, of considerably larger amount than the .;stirnated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium aro reduced to the lowest scale coin pltible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits. _ One-third of whole term premium may remain unpaid at 5 per cent. compou n d i n t erest , as a d e bt u pon the policy for life, or may be paid off at any time without notice. In Assurances for Advances of Money, as security for debts or as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay is desirable, the varied and comprehensive tables of the Argus Office will be found to be particularly favourable to the As sured.

Mr. Payne held an inquest last evening at the City Bridewell, upon the body of William Smith, aged 18, one of the inmates. It app eare d th a t the deceased had been committed far two months from Guildhall on Monday last, for wilfully breaking a large square of plate glass in the window of Mr. Doudney, clothier, Fleet-street, valued at 12/., his plea being that he was destitute, and wished to b e s ent to prison. O n Thursday morning he complained of headache and cold over his body, and was tzdmitted into the Infirmary. Mr. Crooks, assistant-sur geon, attended him till his d ec ease on Sunday. He had all the worst symp iand his medical attendant had no i been i n d uce d b y hi s prev i ous privations, exposure to the night air, h e h av i n g slept in the streets s i x n i g h ts b e f ore a d m i ss i on. c ofo doubt it particularlys f h e a v ( e i r, llew as n Y . 5 and in an extreme state o f exhaustion. iisert rdict—" Died from natural causes." Mr. Payne held another i nquest at time Bakers' Hall, Harp - lane , lower -street, on the b o dy o f Duncan M'Crae, aged 24, a private in the Scotch Fusiliers, at present quartered in the Tower. John Matthews, the watchman at the Custom-house, saw the - deceased at half -past twelve, on Saturday night last. He was leaning thoughtfully upon one of the gates leading to the water, and after remaining so for a few. minutes, he went down the watermen's path way to the steps, and the witness saw no more of him. The Coroner and Jury censured this witness very severely for his neglect in not warning the The witness said it was no part of his duty to prevent people from going into the river if they .were so in clined. Sergeant Baddelly said the deceased was a native of Ross-shire, Scotland, and enlisted in 1839. He bore a good character for steadiness and sobriety. Verdict—" Accidental death." The Dowager Lady Holland has been suffering from indisposition, arising from a severe cold, at her Lady ship's temporary residence, Lord Rilmaine's mansion, in South-stteet. Imusit OFFICERS IN CHINA AND INDIA.—Sir Hugh whose command of the British force in China has been one scene of victory and triumph, is son of the late Lieutenant-Colonel Gough, of the City Limerick Militia, and commenced his military career in that regiment in 1793. As Major in the 87th (or Faugh-a-Banllaghs) he commanded that gallant corps at the memorable battle of Tala vera, where the 87th captured a French eagle, and he was severely wounded. His gallantry during the Lynedoch) honoured him with siege of Cadiz was so conspicuous, that Sir Thomas brevet Graham ate of his dispatches, being the first instance of the kind which occurred ran (n k o‘ f v r in the British army. 011 the 31st of December, 1811, Lieutenant-Colonel Gough repulsed, at Ta oLmortdhe, d Ta rifa, with his eight companies, 600 strong, no less than 1,800 picked troops, who assaulted a breach. A general order on this occasion spok e o f hi s con d uc t as " surpassing all praise, and the Prince Regent ordered the word " Tarifa" to be thereafter im printed on the regiment's colours. He next commanded at Vittoria, where the 87th l o st half its number. On this occasion he was honoured with the thankS of the brave Picton, and received a third medal of distinction. • He commanded at the battle of Nivelle, and was severely wounded. On this occasion he was honoured with the cross, and the officers of his regiment presented him with a valuable vase. Lieutenant- Colonel Taylor, 9th Regiment, who has so distinguished himself at Affghanistar, is bro ther of J. E. Taylor, Esq., Cranbrook, Fermanagh. C. A. MOODY, Esq., rose to return thanks amidst the plaudits of the assemblage. He believed these Societies were useful, especially in times like these, when it must be admitted that they had difficulties to contend with, which imposed upon them all a more' than usual measure of self-denial.—(Hear.) With out desiring to magnify it on the one hand, or to make light of it on the other, he could not but look upon the present state of things as an agricultural crisis.—(Hear.) Such indeed was the state of the agricultural interest, that he feared, unless an altera tion took place, it must terminate in a re-adjustment of existing engagements, and in a rela xa ti on t owar d s the tenant, by those holding the land, and who, he doubted not, would have the good sense to concede it. —(gear.) He had been unexpectedly called on, and was not prepared with particular observations, but he would endeavour to make some use of what had fallen from those who had preceded him. It had fallen from one gentleman, who he was happy to see among them, that they were not, as agriculturists, to look to pro- ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and 21 7 ight, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION,at ONE CHARGE. OXEN. tectpn.—(Hear.) If they were not to look to that protection to which they considered they were fairly entitled, were they to sit down and do nothing to enable them to maintain their position, and to uphold that independence and integrity which the yeomanry of this county, and he believed of all England, had so long been distin guished for ?—(Cheers.) What, then, were they to look to? They were to look to that which could not slip through their hands, to the increased productive ness of the soil, which was only to he effected by im proved husbandry, by calling in the aid of chemistry, and by using the most portable, best, and cheapest manure. —(Hear, hear.) It had been said by one of the umpires that there had not been so good an exhi bition of st oc k as th ere oug h t to h ave b een; b ut t h e o b r np de r r o v to e of superior have stock, was oasf well the first a consequenc e, r g e lle ase TlC in the produce. They had no premiums for improving the land, and if they would allow him, he would of fer a prize for the person who should, on the largest scale, experimentalise with the greatest variety of manure.--(Cheers.) If the Committee could suggest to him the best form of regulating this, he would adopt their recommendation. He - was himself going to try the plan on a field, which he shouldidivide into four parts, using, for the purpose of testing their dif ferent effects, -bone dust, Daniel's guano, and the fold. —(" Ah, the fold, that's the best," from a farmer, which raised a laugh and loud cheers.) Mr. Moody made some further practical' observations, and con clude:l a manly and eloquent address amidst reiterated plaudits. F. H. DICKINSON, Esq., proposed " Prosperity to the town of Yeovil."—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member referred to what had thilen from several gentlemen, and said, with much. energy, _" But with respect to gloves or other articles, you must not rely upon legislative measures for prohibiting the importation of foreign produce. The course of things at pre sent is against protection, and in favour of free trade and I do not think it can be stopped; but if we cannot stein the tide, we must endeavour to assist each other by adopting improvements and all means tending to our mutual benefits. I, for one, have not such appre hension for the future, for we are a great people, with vast resources, and I do not think we shall suer from any trifling alteration in the laws. We are a great people, and not an artificial people, and I do not think we can much longer continue artificial means or laws for keeping up any particular interest. I give you " Prosperity to the town and trade of Yeovil."-7-(Three times three.) Mr. Honiara, being, being called on, rose to return thanks. Ile said he felt particularly obliged for the kind mariner in which they had expressed their desire for the prosperity of that town and its trade. Per haps the best return he could make was by informing them that the great branch of th e i r t ra d e , t h e gloving, although not in a roaring state, was now much better than it was twelve months since. —(Cheers.) And he hoped, with the protection they now had, they would he enabled to compete with the foreigner.—(Hear.) It had been said that they must use exertion and adopt improvements in order to maintain their ground. Ile could state that the greatest exertions were making in that town and elsewhere with this view, so that he hoped work would be found for the large population of that neighbourhood.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said the next toast on his list was " Health and long life to Mr. Parqnharson and the fox-hounds." Captain HAnmN was loudly called on, and returned thanks with the spirit of a true sportsman. He some what differed from his friend, Mr. Sanford, on the sub ject of draining, which he considered absolutely neces sary; it was most essential, and the great improvement to be looked to, but he did consider draining to be the landlord's work.—(Cheers.) He considered it be longed to the landlord, because it was a permanent improvement of the property of the country.—(Hear, hear.) He did not think, in these times, that the farmer could, with fairness to himself and family, lay out the amount required for draining. They :rust all give and take.—(" Ah, that's all we want," from a farmer, which occasioned a laugh.) Let the land lords, then, look the matter in the face at once ; let them not delay, but advance their capital and drain their lands.—(" Suppose they have not got the capi tal," from Mr. Acland.) In cases where there were trustees, and not capital sufficient, a provision had been made, by law, to effect the draining of their lands. Let the landlords, he still said, drain their lands, and then, as to long leases, he did not think there would be any necessity for leases at all ; for with a good understanding he hoped they might all live and prosper, notwithstanding the gloom that now hung over them.—(Cheers.) Mr. ACLAND said that he was neither a landlord nor a tenant, yet his father was, and had a great many tenants ; but he had two secrets, one was, to get good tenants, and the other, when he had them, to take care to keep them.—(Loud cheers.) With re spect to draining, it might often happen that the land lord was not possessed of surplus capital; those who had ben much engaged in contested county elec tions, for instance, could not be expected to have much capital. They must all endeavour to do the best they could, but let them not begin by turning off their labourers.—(Cheers.) He would give them an old toast, but a good one, "Live and let live." Shortly afterwards the Chairman left the room amidst loud cheers, and the party broke up. SMITHFIELD CLUB PRIZE CATTLE SHOW.
