The London and Lancashire P Insurance Company is estab lished for the purpose of extending to Liverpool, as well as to London and elsewhere, that addition to the facilities for fire in surances which was recently demanded for the metropolis, and which the extraordinary increase in the commerce of Liver pool constitutes an urgent necessity. In so doing the Direc tors propose to take advantage of the experience of existing institutions, to introduce new principles of practical utility, and, in addition, so to construct the institution as to afford the greatest possible benefits to the shareholders, insurers, and to the public generally, consistent with the well-being of all concerned. The Directors do not profess to transact business at lower rates than those ascertained by experience to be remunerative ; but having thus provid e d f or th e secur ity and profitableness of the business transactions of the office, they extend the mutual principle to fire insurance, and make the holders of fire policies participators in the profits, atter appropriating a sufficient sum for a reserve fund. When the certainty and extent of success that has attended every well managed fire office are considered, it would appear that the present is a period when new institutions, based on the experi ence of time and observation, should be promoted for and supported by the public generally, for the purpose of pre- Venting monopoly on the one hand, and for the development and progressicm of principle on the other. In 1541 the total sum in Great Britain insured against fire was seven hundred and thirty-eight millions sterling; in 1811 it had increased to eight hundred and fifty-eight millions eight hundred thousand ; and in 1r , 61 it is estimated to have advanced to twelve hundred millions, or to one-third more than the amount of the National Debt. In the course of 20 years, therefore, the field occupied by Fire Insurance widened at the rate of £23,000,000 per annum. As an illustration of this increase it may be mentioned that, in London alone, the inhabited houses which in 1851 numbered 305,933, had in 1861 increased to 362,890, showing an addition in ten years of no less than 56,957 houses, or an average increase of 5,695 houses per annum. But, although the value of property protected is of vast amount, the value remaining unprotected far exceeds it ; and the difference between insured and uninsured is constantly auumenting. 'he enormous business of Fire Insurance in the United Ringdom is confined to so few as fifty-two offices, of whica two are in Ireland, six in Scotland, twenty-one in English country towns, and twenty-three in London. The relative smalln ess o f thi s num b er and t h e vast amount ofinsurance committed to each, on the average not less in value than £22,000,000, has led in some cases to excessive or capricious charges, want of confidence, and to a general les belling of the practice of insurance. Considerations of this description, in connection with the promised support of a very large number of the most influen tial merchants in London and Liverpool, have led to the for mation of the " London and Lancashire Fire Insurance Company." Application for shares in the form annexed, may be Made to A. H. Gunn, Esq., 79, Lombard-street, Lon don, and 21, Water-street, Liverpool ; io the Secretary, IL E.

A very brief explanation is alone required of the objects of this Company. 1. The Red Sea and India Telegraph Company, upon the guarantee of her Majesty's Government of 4i per cent. per an num for fifty years, have expended £BOO,OOO in laying a cable between Suez and Kurrachee. 2. Every section of this line worked satisfactorily for a period of several months, and the whole line carried through messages between Kurrachee and Suez for several days. Faults subsequently occurred in several of the sections, which have never been repaired. 3. The Government have agreed to transfer the line, sta tions, and property of the Company to a new Company, to be formed for the purpose, on very liberal terms. These are in substance— _ . . -- Ist. That the cables, land-lines, instruments, stations, concessions, &c., belonging to the old Company shall be made over to the new Company, free from charge. 2d. That the new Company shall use their best endea vours to repair the line and to work it when completed, beginning - with the line between Aden and Kurrachee ; and are to have possession so soon as two-thirds of the capital is subscribed, and one-third paid up, and asuit able vessel despatched with not less than 200 miles of new cable on board 3d. That the new Company shall be entitled to a clear dividend out of the profits to 25 per cent. per annum on the money paid up. And the Government is to have the power to repurchase the line on repaying the capital expended, at the expiration of 30 years. 4th. That any surplus profits shall be applied to reim but se the Government for the interest they have paid and will have to pay annually upon the original capital expended; after which any further profits which may accrue will be applied to the creation of a reserve fund. sth. The accounts of the Company will be audited at the Treasury half-yearly. After the restoration of the line any outlay of capital to be subject to the approval of Government ; and the Government is to have the right (subject to arbitration) of disallowing working expen diture which they may consider excessive. 6th. In the event of the failure of the Company to restore or maintain the line in working order the Government are to have the power of taking it into their hands again on repaying the capital actually expended by the new Company. Should, the Government not exercise this right the Company are to be at liberty to dispose of the property to reimburse their outlay, the balance, after defraying the actual expenditure, to be handed over to the Government. Failure is to be defined to be the non-working of the line from end to end after reason able allowance of time for restoration. 7th. All differences between the Government and the Company to be decided by arbitration. Bth. This arrangement' presupposes the eoncurrence of the Shareholders of the old Company in the terms pro posed to them by her Majesty's Government; any Par liamentary powers necessary to give effect to these arrangements are to be obtained by her Majesty's Go vernment. 4. Of the vast importance, in a national point of view, of telegraphic communication with the British dominions in India, there can be but one opinion ; and now that the com munication is complete from London to Suez. and through out all India by Kurrachee, it is impossible that the matter can be left in its present condition, and the wanting link unsupplied. 5. The grounds which commend the subject as a specula tion are these : CBOO,OOO has been expended in laying a line which for a time was perfectly successful. This line will be banded over to the Company, free of all charge or liability. No attempt has as yet been made to restore the commu nication between Aden and Kurrachee. On the other hand, the Company's superintendent, Mr. " Brunton, has expressed a confident opinion that the faults are many of them very trifling, and all capable of repair. This view is confirmed by the opinions of Sir Charles Bright and Mr. Latimer Clark, who have been consulted on the subject. In one of the sections, of nearly 500 miles, there has never been any fault, and those which do exist in the other sections are believed to be in shallow water. An estimate has been made by Messrs. Bright and Clark of the cost of repairing the line between Aden and Kurrachee, which they consider can be effected for a sum not exceeding £50,000. The venture is small, while the returns will be on the scale of an original expenditure of £BOO,OOO. 6. It is proposed to limit the first operations to the repair of the line between Aden and Kurrachee. When this is effected the period of a message to all parts of India will be abridged to five days. This - will be not only a vast• public object, but there is no doubt, from the experience of the line, when partially open, that the number of messages will be very great. 7. When this Eastern division has been completed there will remain only that between Suez and Aden, which can un doubtedly be made good by restoration of the existing cable, in whole or in part. If it should be decided to make any part of it a land line, it can be done at comparatively small Cost. 8. The intention Is, as soon as the capital, or a nometent amount has been subscribed, to dispatch a steamer with 200 miles of new cable, so as to complete the communication up to Aden early in 1862. Forms of application for shares and information may be obtained at the Offices, or from the Company's Brokers, Messrs. Knight and Coleman, No. 1, Royal Exchang-e-buad logs.

The meeting was held in the Lecture-hall, and was numerously attended. Dr. Purvis occupied the chair. _ _ _ Mr. Alderman SALOMONS commenced by giving an account of his stewardship for the pas., year. The late session (he said) had been called a barren session, but it FS as nothing of the kind. It was, on the contrary, a session of hard work, and witnessed the passing of 134 public and 249 private Acts. The latter included many railway and other bills, which, interfering with important private interests, required minute and laborious investigation; while among the former might be enumerated the new bankruptcy and insolvency law, the Act for the abolition of passing tolls, the Irremovable Poor Bill, and the abolition of the paper duty. He admitted, however, that the late session was barren of what might be termed great measures, but then it was to be remembered that almost all the great questions, whether in Church or State, had been settled. It might be said, indeed, that only one great question remains for discussion in future years—the question of Parliamentary Reform. Ministers had been blamed in some quarters for not bringing forward a Reform Bill in the late session, but in that they were not wholly without excuse. At the last general election many members of the House of Commons, himself among the number, were elected on the ex press understanding that they would do their best to carry a Reform Bill. In the first session of the new Parliament an attempt was made to pass a satisfac tory measure, but it soon became evident there was no party in the House of Commons strong enough for the purpose. The truth was, he believed, that in the absence of a severe pressure from without all attempts to carry a Reform Bill must necessarily fail, and he was not surprised that Ministers should have resolved to abstain from bringing forward any such measure until it was called for by the people in a voice not to be mistaken. (Hear, hear.) In the late session the House of Commons had sanc tioned a very heavy expenditure. He regretted that the people should be so severely taxed, but it was absolutely necessary, in the present state of Europe and the world, that our naval and military establishments should be maintained on a large scale, We had no wish—far from it—to interfere in the affairs of other countries, but we must not lose sight of the fact that all our neighbours were armed, and that it consequently behoved us, as a simple measure of self-defence, to provide ourselves with sufficient armaments, especially at sea. As an auxiliary to our army the Volunteer force, which now amounted to 170,000 men, could not be too highly prized ; and, although he had no fears of in vasion, he readily admitted that the public spirit shown by so many of our young men was worthy of every commendation. He was afraid that next session would not witness any great reduction of taxation. All he could say, for his part, was that he would be watchful and would endeavour, as far as he could, to promote economy. (Hear.) But, perhaps, the most important question which now agitated the public mind was the civil war in America. It was impossible at the present moment to say how that deplorable struggle would end. Of one thing, however, there could be no doubt—it must inflict serious injury upon this country. Last year our trade with America amounted in value to 174,000,000. We imported cotton, corn, tobacco, and other mer chandise to the amount of £44,000,000, and we sent to America, in return, goods to the amount of £30,000,000. That prodigious trade was now dis turbed, and the result was a great deal of distress and no small amount of loss. Manchester was threatened with a dearth of cotton, and although, judging from our experience in the case of corn and other commodities, he believed that a good price would always secure a supply of the article re quired, yet there could be no doubt that if the Northern States could prevent the cotton of the South from being brought to market the conse quences would be severely felt in our manufacturing districts. France was in the same position with ourselves ; she was equally dissatisfied with the pre sent state of things, and it was even reported—he te knew haainldg gn toe o t t d E o i s n nt ug w rl ba h n a t d t h e a t ü ba jo h oc o ik r na i thdy— iemo th fhteh a t if the ewsoouultdh edEronmpspooen some ports. t o es: It ba e made.y wea entirely t onto en o ol y b ou e nrne h oe hoped that no such attempt wou ld b e sa wn i neutral, ea o,r andintereststh the shouldot required h er . refrain t (il e a h r a f t rh o we e from r .) shouldH takinge believed that when Lord Lyons, very early in the dispute, inquired was wh sentether a any interference would be acceptable, he away , to use a popular phrase, with a o ea t h i e n s h a ihis t e h a b e r r u . n t , ports ttsh oughte sam entai not to Our plain duty, then,bwloasde non -interference ; the eblockade be a mere paper blockade. The Americans had always strenuously protested against paper block ades, and they could not complain of us if we now insisted that the Southern ports should not be closed except by an effective blockade. (Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned gentle man then turned to the question of Italy, and expressed his belief that if the Italians were left to themselves Rome and Venice would in no long time form part of a great Italian kingdom. It was difficult to understand what the policy of the Em peror Napoleon really was, but we knew that he generally yielded to pressure, and a strong expres sion of public opinion could not fail to have a power ful effect upon him. For our own part, we could not do better than continue the policy we had hitherto pursued—a policy of good wishes, but of non-interference. (Hear, hear.) The hon. member, reverting to home affairs, remarked upon the plenti ful harvest with which we had been blessed, and observed that our people, if not fully employed, • were happy and contented, knowing that if trade fivtuated It did Pv from naturAl causes, and not from any interference on the part of the Govern ment. In the next s ession of Parliament the great object would be to increase the Nvea lth and pros perity of the country and to insuro its safety. The House of Commons ought, above all things, to occupy itself with measures of pc ace. All such measures would have his most cords ill supp ort, for in no other way, ho felt assured, could he act up to his pledges or promote the interests :of his consti tuents. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to Mr. Alderman Salomons , for his unremitting attention to his Parliame ntar y duties, terminated the proceedings. LORD JOHN MANVERS - ON THE PRO GRESS OF CONSERVATLS2I. The annual dinner of the Conservatives took place at the Corn Exchange, Leicester, on Tuesday evening, when Mr. Alfred Cooper pres ided. There were also present Lord John Manners, Lord Curzon, and Mr. E. B. Hartopp, members for the county ; Mr. W. U. Heygate, member for the borough, and Sir F. Heygate, M.P., and Mr. G. W. Hunt, M.P. Lord JOHN MANNERS, on rising to respond to the toast of " The Members for the County," was loudly cheered. He said,—Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen,—l am certain that none of my col leagues nor myself is vain enough to suppose that the reception you have given to this toast is due to our individual merits, but that it is owing to your anxiety to express to us, as representing the county of Leicester, the hearty sympathy which the town and trade and commerce feel for those who live outside its walls. (Cheers.) I trust you will be lieve me when I say that our unanimous presence here to-night—unanimous it would have been had not illness compelled our wofthy colleague, Mr. Packe, to absent himself at the last moment from your demonstration—is rendered simply as a proof of the deep and heartfelt sympathy which we, re presenting more particularly the agricuLtural classes of Leicestershire, feel towards the trade and com merce of Leicester. (Cheers.) Your admiral repre sentative has told you that he, for one, regards as of little moment the old party Shibboleths, and that he thinks that the time has come when mode rate men of all moderate parties may combine to support the time-honoured institutions of our native land. Well, gentlemen, so far as the Liberal party of England is concerned, I believe it to be unfounded, as well as the remark which is sometimes made that there is in these days no difference between the prin ciples of contending parties, and that those time honoured institutions are as safe i n th e k ee ping of one party as in that of another. Id o no t b e lieve iv the trnth of that assertion, and I will give you the reason why. It can only be true so long as what is called the great Liberal party is unfaithful in office to the principles which it professes. (Cheers.) Also for a moment, we see the heterogeneous elements of the present Cabinet restrained by the influence, it may be, of their chief ; or it may be, as I believe, by the influence of the public opinion of England. (Cheers.) What should we do if we trusted only to that abeyance of democratic principles for the future ? A foreign convention, a domestic distress, or the unsatisfied ambition of a single individual may change the whole current of Liberal Govern mental policy ; and then we should find those in stitutions which we prided and honoured handed over with easy indifference to the Radical revolu tionst, or the Chartists, by those to whom we had unwisely and foolishly committed their sacred keeping. Therefore I, for one, cordially agree in the policy which last session sustained our efforts to defeat successfully each attempt which was made to revolutionize some one or other of our time honoured institutions. I do most cordially rejoice at that movement which, year by year and month by:month adds a unit to the Conservative moiety of the House of Commons. (Cheers.) Therefore have I for one rendered myself here this evening, with the utmost pleasure and delight, to join you in con gratulating the borough of Leicester in having so able and so faithful a representative as you have in Mr. Heygate. (Cheers.) I hold it to be of the utmost importance that out of doors every effort should be made to restore the determinate and ab normal state of political affairs upon which Mr. Heygate has so ably dilated. I call it abnormal; and why do I call it so ? Why, gentlemen, two years ago a Government was formed on what was called the broad-bottomed Reform basis, and the country was led to expect not only violent measures of Parliamentary Reform, but a series of dangers in the relations between Church and State. What has been the result ? You may sum up the result in one word,—" Nothing." (Laughter.) But how has that negative result been brought about ? Why what history does the last session of Parliament present ? We had week after week some individual member of the once great reforming Liberal party bringing forward his nostrum for the destruction of some one of our time-honoured institutions; and how was that met by this Government, in which we were told that moderate Coservatives of England might repose implicit confidence ? Why, it was met in this fashion—that the minister rose in his place and delivered a series of most excellent and philo sophical reasons why the reform, as he called it, or the revolution, as we should call it, should not be adopted ; and then, when the division bell sounded, walked meekly and tamely into the lobby in the rear of the revolutionary member whose measure he had denounced. (Cheers.) In such an assembly as this, and with such a feeble voice as mine, you will agree with me that all speeches are worth very little; but I think you will agreed with me that speeches of the description I have mentioned are worth less than nothing—(cheers)—and that if we are to look to the security of our institutions in Church and State, we cannot as honest and as wise men repose confidence in those who make such speeches, and then give such votes. (Cheers.) Therefore do I, for one, attach the utmost import an :e to every isolated election which takes place ; and therefore do I, for one, rejoice at the signal triumph which moderate 'Conservatives ob- tained last winter in this your most important town. Allow me to ask why that which was done so successfully and so triumphantly in Leicester should not be done in other midland towns. Why should not that Conservative element and that Con setvative feeling which I am convinced exists in boroughs like Northampton, Nottingham, Derby, and Coventry—why should not that be called out and stimulated to successful exertion by the glori ous triumph which you have achieved in Leicester ? (Cheers.) I do not feel that we are celebrating here to-night any narrow local triumph, but that we are stimulating, or it may be calling into existence that Conservative fire and that Tory spirit which has sent to Parliament a member from the great centres of manufacturing industry in England— members who shall respect and support the institu tions of the country. (Applause.) I think we may all assume that the time is singularly precious to such a movement as I have ventured to indicate. Two years ago the friends of our institutions in Church and State were, some of them—l never was —in something like despair. It seemed impossible to resist the torrent of Radical Reform, and it seemed impossible to resist the onslaught of the leaders. Our institutions were to be Americanized, and the Church was to cease to be the Church of the nation. (Hear, hear.) But in these two years what a change has occurred ! I do not wish to allude more parti cularly to the lamentable events which are now progressing in the United States. I may say this, that from one end of England to another there is a determination that our institutions shall not be hazarded to the risks and dangers which have fallen upon the institutions of the United States. (Cheers.) It is not necessary to confine our remarks or to su perscribe our vision to the United States. There is another great Republic in America—l mean Mexico. Half a century ago every Liberal in Europe heard with delight the release of Mexico from what was called the wornout tyranny of Spain. What is new the condition a that ao - otglod flourishing Re• public ? Why, we are told—l am afraid, on good authority—that we, the public of England, are to be at the expense of fitting out a costly ex pedition in order to do something to bring the Republicans of America to a sense of decency and justice. (Loud cheers.) My firm persuasion is, though I never was in Mexico, that there is not a sensible Mexican alive at the present moment who would not willingly at this instant exchange the Monarchy of Spain for the Republicanism of Mexico. (Laughter and cheers.) Such being the state of affairs, it is a matter of the greatest satis faction to be able to say that never since the de struction of the Conservative party in 1846 was that great party so unanimous, so harmonious, and so united within the walls of Parliament as it is at the 4 present moment. (Cheers.) And I think I may add that that harmony, that union, and that cordial understanding which prevails within its walls is met and responded to by the confidence which is felt in our leaders without the walls of the House of Commons. A signal proof of the truth of that assertion of mine occurred in your borough, and that proof has been followed up by victory after victory in all the important counties and cities which have since had the opportunity of register ing their electoral votes. The county of Cork, the great division of South Lancashire, and other places, have shown that they agree with you in the confi dence you have reposed in the leaders of the great Conservative party, and in their determination no longer to trust the safety and the maintenance of our great institutions in Church and State to the haphazards of, it may be, the ill-concealed delight of those who professed what are termed Liberal opi nions in England. Well, gentlemen, I fear I have detained you too long. (Voices—" Go on.") I may say that I have come here regarding the festival not so much as a triumph of onripolitical party over another in the borough of Leicester, but much more as a triumph of those moderate Conservative prin ciples which I am satisfied are permeating more and more the electoral mind of this great kingdom from one end to the other, and I regard this great festi val as an incitement and inducement to other neigh bouring constituencies to go and do likewise. (Cheers.) Certain lam that so long as in the great centres of manufacturing industry such an assem blage as this can be produced to support Conserva tive principles, and to rally around our institutions in Church and State, that, however for a time un principled combinations may place in office hetero geneous politicians, those time-honoured institu tions of our land will not be handed over without a struggle, and a successful struggle, to philosophical pedants, or to the more avowed inroads of political demagogues. (Cheers.) For my own part, I beg leave to return you my most grateful thanks. (Cheers.) BUCKS AGRICULTURAL ASSO CIA TION. AMERSHAM, WEDNESDAY. The annual meeting of the Bucks Agricultural Association for Amersham, Chesham, and adjacent parishes, was held in this town yesterday. In the morning there was a ploughing match, and in the afternoon prizes were delivered to cottagers for roots, and to farm labourers for length of servitude, and for the cleanly and tidy condition of their dwellings. In the afternoon the members of the as• sociation dined together at the Town-hall, under the presidency of Mr. T. Drake, master of the Bi cester Hunt. There were also present the Hon. W. U. Cavendish, M.P., Mr. T. T. Bernard, M.P., Mr. W. Lowndes, Capt. Parkinson, Mr. G. Carrington, Mr. J. W. Howey, Mr, J. Hale, the Rev. J. King don, rector of Amersham ; the Rev. C. Lloyd, chap lain to the Bishop of Oxford; the Rev. J. Graves, the Rev. T. Evetts, &c. The presence of Mr. Disraeli had been expected, but on the morning of the meeting the following note was received. from the right hon. gentleman : "Hughenden Manor, Oct. 20. " Dear Sir,—lt is a great disappointment to me that I am prevented having the pleasure of attending with my friends at Atnersham on Tuesday next. I should fed much gra tified if the committee of your society would permit me next year to offer a prize of £6 for some act of meritorious ser vice or labouring skill. I would leave the details to their better judgment, but would presume to express my wish that, if they were so kind as to sanction the suggestion, that sum should not be divided. I enclose a check for £5.--I am, dear Sir, yours, &c., 4, 8. DISRAELI." The customary loyal toasts having been duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Army, Nary, and Volunteers." Captain PARKINSON in responding, said he had no reason to find fault with the army, save with re gard to its numerical strength, which he thought might, with advantage to the country, be consider ably greater than it was at present. He was glad to see, from the recent order of the Horse Guards, that we were likely to have a real light cavalry force— the men proportioned to the horses. Hitherto the love of obtaining fine men had been allowed to pre dominate, and the result had been that the men had been too heavy for the horses; indeed, he had seen in the light cavalry men who might with ad vantage have been draughted into the Life Guards or the Blues—an anomaly not to be witnessed in any other country. He approved the steps which were being taken to promote military education; but with regard to the officers, he thought it would be of great advantage to the army if the aristocratic element were altogether wanting in its composition. Mr. LOWNDES next gave " The Health of the members for the County and Borough of Aylesbury." Mr. CAVENDISII, M.P., in acknowledging the compliment, referred to the condition of the agri. cultural labourers. He said—All Sou have to do is to treat them well, and you will find in the end that they will treat you well. Only provide them with good comfortable cottages to dwell in, and you will soon see that they will take a pride in keeping them clean and tidy. Give them good wages, and they will work well for you ; but I never knew anybody yet who was prepared to work for nothing. Pay them properly, and when a pressure comes — when you have your harvest to house quickly, or any other emergency arises—you will find they are ready to give you a turn, and to study your inte rests as well as their own. (Cheers.) lam afraid I cannot advocate tho celebration of harvest-home suppers, which have found some favour in other quarters. I tried it myself, and the result was by no means so satisfactory as could have been desired. Unfortunately there was no church near where I could first assemble my labourers before they sat down to supper, and the consequence was that I was not so well able to keep them together as other landlords may be in neighbouring parishes. My harvest-home was a very unfortunate affair. The husbands came down and had some supper and beer, and I am afraid they had far too much of the latter. I was obliged to give up all idea of entertaining them again at the close of the harvest, and I now do it in another manner. With regard to the meet ings of these local agricultural associations, I think they do a great deal of good, whenever you are ca pable of preserving order downstairs. That, how. ever, is not always clone, and then they do more harm than good. Very recently I went to a meeting a little before I was expected, and I found the utmost disorder and confusion. Agricultural labourers were fighting, and the amount of drunkenness going on in various parts of the premises was quite surprising. lam afraid, if such things are allowed to continue, you will find that instead of benefiting the labouring classes your annual gatherings will affect them most prejudicially. Your ' socie.yhere awards money prizes to cottagers and to labourers for long servitude. I think it would not be without its advantages if the society would take a hint from others in the immedi a t e ne i g hb our h oo d, an d, in stead of giving mere money prizes, would give the labourer some medal or memorial which he could hang up in his cottage, and point to with pride as t having been given to him for his good conduot and PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. one f my o f f a father's ( g t e n o r e d r a c l h e e h s a h r n a m e t , e s . ) s h e ( p H h e e a r r a . ) s ,0 0 b t n a e i n o e memorials the other day. It is merely a printed card, but he is more proud of it than if he had re ceived ten times its value in money. In point of fact, he experiences the same feeling as the soldier who glories in attaching his medal to his breast to show that he has won it. (Cheers.) It is much more valuable to him than the money it would be worth, even if it had cost ten times the amount, and he takes a pride in displaying it. It is precisely the same with the agricultural labourer, who is de lighted to show to his friends and neighbours a me • morial of the esteem and respect entertained for him by those above him. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN remarked that so far as the soldier was concerned, it would not appear that he attached as much value as his hon. friend Mr. Cavendish sup posed to the medal awarded to him, if any opinion could be formed from the number of them which were exhibited for sale in the pawnbrokers' shops in the metropolis. Mr. CAYENDISU said the medals which found their way into the pawnbrokers' shops were not dis poeed of by the men to whom they were awarded, but by their friends and relatives after their death. A soldier who had received a medal for any action in which he had been engaged had never been known to part with it for any consideration. He knew that fact from the very best authority. (Hedr, hear.) Mr. BERNARD, M.P., also responded to the toast. Adverting to the condition of the homes of the cot tagers, he said he entertained a strong impression that no improvement would be effected except by legislative enactment. They must cut at the root of the evil, and it could only be done bx the 'Legis lature. It was of no use laying down plans for the improvement of the dwellings of the labouring classes unless there was some legislative enactment by which those plans could be carried out. When they met at a social meeting like that it was " Hail, fellow, well met ;" and they were quite ready to talk about the question, and to assert their anxious desire to do what was right towards the men they employed. But the moment they came to consider how they should carry their good intentions into effect they came to cross purposes. One found that it was inconvenient to alter the existing state of things; another, that it would interfere with his property ; and the consequence was that the evil remained uncorrected, and nothing was done. (Hear.) It was too much the custom in the present day to make the willing horse bear all the burden, and, in his opinion, it was only by legislative enact ment that they could properly apportion the burden generally. (Hear.) By legislative enactment, and by legislative enactment alone, cottages would be made more creditable to the landlord and more com fortable for the labourers who occupied them. (Cheers.) He thought the subject was one of the greatest importance, and he trusted that before long it would occupy the consideration of Parlia ment. No one who was acquainted with the agri cultural districts could entertain a doubt that the morality of cottage life depended very materially upon the character and condition of the homes supplied to them. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) One of the advantages of this country was that th• people were a contented people, willing to follow the regulations laid down by those above them, and being perfectly contented and satisfied with the station which Providence had allotted to them. They had no ambition to aspire to a higher posi tion, and, in his opinion, it was to that feeling the country was indebted for a great part of the pro sperity it enjoyed. (Hear.) They were all aware that at the other side of the Atlantic the people of the United States were all at sixes and sevens. Nobody would serve under anybody, and the consequence was that there was nothing but disorder and con fusion. From the very earliest history—beginning with Scripture history—it had been shown to be essential that there should be followers as well as leaders. No man lost one atom of his independence in following another placed above him either by the accident of birth or by his superior intelligence. They followed :him because they knew he was honest and patriotic, and would guide them in the path of honour and prosperity, and because by so doing they merited and acquired the esteem and re spect of their fellow-men. (Hear and cheers.) With regard to what had fallen from Mr. Cavendish in reference to harvest-homes, his (Mr. Bernard's) ex perience had been somewhat different. He had only recently attended one at Waddesdon, where up wards of 1,000 persons were present, and he never saw any meeting go off with greater propriety or greater enjoyment. There were, however, no spirituous liquors, and no beer. There was nothing but tea to drink and bread and butter to eat. He was himself a great friend to har vest-homes. He liked to bring people together for the purpose of expressing their thankfulness to the Almighty for His goodness to them. They all knew what a poor creature man was by himself. It was nonsense to talk of one man being better than another; he was only better because he took more pains to be better. It was their duty to take pre cautions against the evil propensities of human nature, and one of those precautions was to avoid the distribution of intoxicating drinks among the agricultural labourers, who had not sufficient strength of mind to resist them. When his hon. friend gave his next harvest-home, he (Mr. Ber nard) trusted he would convert it into a nice tea party. (Laughter and cheers.) Several other toasts of a local nature having been given, the proceedings terminated. MR. DUNLOP AT GREENOCK. Visiting his constituents on Monday. Mr. Dunlop, member for Greenock, delivered to them a speech in the New Town Hall, which, like others of its kind, traversed the wide range of subjects arising out of a review of the session and contemporary events. Some passages, sufficiently marked in tone, may be interesting. Mr. Dunlop is a friend of the Hungarians and Italians, and an enemy of Austria. Of Prussia he said:— "If I had had occasion to regret tho apparent too favour able leaning of our Ministers to Austria, I had equally to regret the avowed coldness and want of cordiality between the Government of this country and that of Prussia. Our selves mainly of a German race, and drawing chiefly from our Saxon forefathers our love of liberty, and with many traits of character in common, our ties and sympathies with the natives of Germany ought to be ciargaelte'tfitellitoabr e ou in gh a t p t° osi b ti e on of the most gene rally the same religious belief, and the form o . on ' to greater tional Government year by year developing ur Recognising in Prussia, too, a kindred n p a e ti c o uli n, ar sv f . now bound together by the union vigour and freedom, and no opposing interests, of our Royal houses, and having Europe.

It is matter of great regret, therefore, that symptoms have recently appeared of an unfriendly policy between them, and that an advantage has been taken of a late unhappy accident to extend that feeling among the people of the two countries." In touching on the question of education in Scot land, Mr. Dunlop expressed a hope that the Lord- Advocate would have the honour and gratification of succeeding in the remaining portion of the great work still to be accomplished ; and that Sccl - would be privileged to exhibit a national sys tem of education, aided by publicgrant, and founded on a firmer and better basis than is likely to be pro vided by a series of Privy Concil Minutes. At the same time, he added, "I would not wish to be sup posed to join in the unqualified condemnation which the recent Minute of Privy Council has so gene rally called forth. I disapprove of several parts of it, and I think its authors have not shown a suffi cient regard of existing interests. Still the object simed at is a good and right object, and one which__ Government must, if possible, by one WAY °r another accomplish.' NEWSPAPER STATE OF AFFAIRS Y s. — A letter from Warsaw, dated str i 144 funeral of the late Archbishop Fijal place on the 10th inst. with a pomp befitting so solemn a ceremony. All the houses in the streets thron g hwhich the cortege proceeded were cove re d With deep bl ac k, as we ll as t h e w h o l e popu l at i on of Warsaw, which was joined by numbers of gentry and peasants from the environs, Skierniewice,Lowiez, and other places, headed by the clergy of their re spective parishes. Exactly at 12 o'clock the guard, composed of the citizens of Warsaw, occupied the posts assigned to it ; the committee appointed to manage the funeral having obtained a uromise from the authorities that neither army nor police should interfere in Doubtlessyoukeeping hwe orderknow hythe on that day. telegrams how the various guilds and institutions followed one another, and the tranquillity was not for one moment dis turbed, though the funeral procession could not have numbered less than 130,000 persons. All the church flags bsre on them the Polish national arms —viz., the white eagle and the horseman. The nobles and the peasants walked hand-in-hand. The funeral cortege started at 3.30 p.m. from the arch bishop's palace, and only reached the St. John's Cathedral at 6.30. The foreign consuls, English and French, took part in the sad ceremony, and joined it on the Saxon-place ; au also the Protestant and Jewish congregations, with every symptom of pro found and fervent sorrow. The body of the arch bishop was carried in turns by the clergy, the pea sants, artisans, Government officials, students, and Jews. It is necessary to mention that neither Count Lambert nor the Marquis Wielopolski was to be seen, although several Russian generals were present. After having deposited the coffin with the body of the archbishop on a superb catafalque, every one returned home in the most orderly manner, the peasants having been taken care of by the citizens and nobles, who lodged them and entertained them hospitably until the next day, when they were conducted to a place assigned for them 'by the funeral committee. It was difficult to accommodate all the peasants in the church, they therefore desired to go to the cemetery of Powazki, in order to visit the tombs of " their brethren is ho were slaughtered on the 27th r u e a n r g y ed la i s a t. the Fo e r hu t r h eh is e p f ut r p o o w se az a ki na , aasnsdh, toad b of ee F n e a b r r avoid being seen by the.-attho' rifies, they were taken in groups of 20 each„, 'After the service was over they sang religions s hymns, in which the clergy joined. To our agreeable surprise the pea santry expressed a wish to see also the tomb of those murdered on the Bth of April last, whom the authorities had secretly buried in a large hole dug up at the end of the cemetery, and which contain ing about 1,200 persons, was only recently dis covered. This brotherly love has deeply moved the hearts of those present, the whole of the pea , sentry having been horrified and shed bitter tears, full of despair, invoking the help of the Almighty, that he may put a stop to the barbarities of the Russian Government. The priest then giving a blessing, encouraged the people to place theirhopcs in God, to practise brotherly love, and to persevere, as the only means of remedying the future evils. The inhabitants then dispersed, and the peasants with the clergy remained in the cemetery, when a short sermon was preached on the love of the country, after which part of the peasants proceeded to the European Hotel, and the other portion to the Vienna Hotel, near the railway station, where a dinner had been prepared for them, and they were waited upon by the nobles, citizens, students, and Jews.' The dinner was good without display, and the beverages consisted of beer and mead. During dinner speeches were made suitable to the present circumstances of the country by the nobles and peasants; after which the citizens of the European Hotel conveyed the peasants to the railway, no excess whatever having occurred. The peasants having unfurled the flag with the Polish arms upon it which they carried at the funeral, they struck up the Polish national religious hymn, and thus de parted, leaving behind them the regrets of all. On the same day was celebrated, in the town of Horodlo, the national anniversary of the union of Poland with Lithuania. The Government having been apprised of the intended ceremony sent Gen. Chruszczew, who surrounded the town with an army, and declared that no assembly whatever would be permitted. However, this threat was of no avail, as all the delegates (though the high road to Lublin was stopped) had arrived by various by ways near Horodlo, with the exception of Ruthe nian deputies, who were not allowed to cross the river Bug, though they were eyewitnesses from the opposite bank. The meeting, which was com posed of about 6,000 persons, determined, even at the sacrifice of blood, to reach Horodlo, and was proceeding slowly, headed by the clergy. General Chruszczew, seeing them approaching,. advanced towards them with his aide-de-camp, and informed the procession that on no account would he suffer them to enter the town ; to which he received a very polite but energetic answer, that whatever might happen the anniversary of such a day must be cele brated. On reaching the top of the hill in view of Horodlo, General Chruszczew repeated his order that they should not enter the church, intimating to them whether they could not on this very spot perform the ceremony as well as in the church. He was then told that they had not the necessary church requisites. The General ordered them to be supplied from the church of Horodlo, and the ceremony of the union was effected. A protest against the partition of Poland was then drawn up and signed. Those two manifestations have, it appears, called forth the order of placing the Kingdom of Poland in a state of siege, which was done on the 14th inst. We who from the year 1831 feel to be always in the same condition do not experience the slightest impression. From Monday, then, the streets of Warsaw are full of encampments of drunken sol diers and a domineering military authority. It had been announced that on the 15th inst. the anni versary of the death of Kosciuszko should be cele brated; and on the 14th an order was issued pro hibiting the shops being closed under a penalty of 100 roubles. The merchants, well knowing the , feeling of a despairing nation, were aware that they could not conform to this order, and all the shops and manufactories were closed. About 10 a.m. the people assembled in the churches of St. John, the Bernardins, the Holy Cross, and ycotinhe tmh e e n It c e e d f o r t h m e e s r e s , c a h n u d r e h a es s weresoon great es t confusion soldiery.

In the midst of the confusion a troop of Cossacks and Circassians were let out upon the people, whom they trod under foot and struck with their whips and pikes. It was with the utmost difficulty that I made my way through the streets ; the larger ones were completely blocked, and the smaller filled with drunken Cossacks galloping madly along. Two of them fell from their horses before my eyes and narrowly escaped being trodden to death. When I reached Senator-street I was again stopped by a battalion of infantry, which was charging at the double and striking with the butts of the muskets at the people whom the Cossacks were driving before them from the opposite direc tion. True, there was no firing; but everything in the way of injury and outrage short of that wins perpetrated by the drunken soldiery on th e p eopl e. The Rev. Mr. Otto was beaten with sticks before the Post-office, and a lame man, who washurrr hnigs home, was struck by an officer of Cossacks wt m i The ost stick in the open street before my e came of the Reformers, h w u e r r arrested as th e y the Holy Cross.

The insincerity of the Govern men t i n prom i s i ng us reforms is evident from the fact, that it has sent numerous agents about the country to excite the peasants against their landlords.
