Where Associations already exist this will be matter of little difficulty. and, where they do not, nothing more is required than that those who are willing to co-operate with them in the present important undertaking should assemble, and constitute themselves a Committee, and upon their communicating with the Council of the League, they will be supplied with all the re quisite Papers and Cards. The Council would likewise recom mend that the influence of the Members of the Committee should be exerted to procure the formation of a Ladies' Local Committee. The duties of the Members of both Committees will be to canvass their friends and neighbours for contributions. The Ladies are especially requested to adopt the practice of the Manchester Ladies' Committee, and proceed from door to door in the prosecution of their labours. The names of the Officers and Members of the Committees must then be forwarded to Manchester for insertion in n Book provided for the purpose. In cases where the formation of a Local Committee is imprac ticable, any individual wishing to co-operate whh the Council will, upon application, be furnished with a Card whereon to place his own Subscription and those of his friends. They have likewise prepared a Circular making a special application to in dividuals for contributions to the " Fund," and will be glad to supply the Local Committees, or any of their friends who may desire to make use of them, in cases where a personal applica tion is inconvenient, or this method preferable. With refe rence to the distribution and return of the Cards, the following regulations have been agreed upon : INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF CARDS. 1. The Council of the League will require the return of all the Cards issued. 2. All the Cards to be returned to the Council of the League through the same parties to whom they were issued, and wherever Cards have been distributed through Local Committees, they must be returned through the same Local Committees. 3. The Collecting Cards, which, it will be perceived, admit of twenty names, are distinguished by a variety of colours, and by a distinct letter of the alphabet, according to the aggre gate eminent specified on the card, an follows :—B. Is ; C. 2s. 6d. ; D. ss. ; E. 10s. ; F. £l. ; G. £2. 103. ; an t H. £5. ; each Subscription. 4. Although the Cards may not in one Share meet the wishes of each Contributor, they may be adapted to any amount of Subscription not exceeding the aggregate sum specified on each Card; as, for instance, the Shilling Cards will contain Twenty Subscribers of One Shilling each ; eight of Two Shillings and Sixpence, four of Five Shillings each, &c., &e., and all the Cards in a similar way. 5. The first object of each Local Commttteo should be to distribute Cards as widely as possible, to take an account of the letter and number on the Card, and the name and ad dress of the party to whom given. 6. ,gach Committee will, at the first opportunity, elect a Treasurer and Secretary, in order to secure the systematic transaction of its business. Persons desirous of contributiug to the Fund, and who may not avail themselves of the above arrangements, are requested to forward their donations addressed to George Wilson, Esq., 5, Newall's-buildings, Marketestreet, Manchester, by whom they will be acknowledged.

Yesterday* evening Mr. Payne held an inquest on the body of Wm. Peters, aged 48, a bricklayer, employed in Woolwich Dockyard. It appeared that deceased and another workman had been employed on a brick wall, above which was erected ik*Opden frame, where several carientprs were at work. 'hey, in fixing a heavy plat Aim its croper place, - :unfortunately let it fall over itfu4diateily'allove :the ; deceased. lfe was called to aid lc and say, lhp danger; but had not time tt?'„geftWliolly,O4ipf ,t 4helay, for the plank came down npon.lll4:foot, - e - omiiiete smashing it. He was immediatelY.carried"tO the surgery in the dock yard, where his .WoUndS were dressed, and he was af terwards removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where amputation of the foot was performed. Gangrene followed, and the deceased died shortly after his admission. Verdict—Accidental Death. Another inquiry was held on the body of Joseph Blackman, a drayman, in the employment of Mr. Mar den, the eminent brewer of Lewisham. It appeared that he had been delivering some puncheons in Dept ford, and while standing behind the dray, one of them rolled dpwn upon the pavement, knocking him down, .and breaking his leg in several places. He was con veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, when the limb was amputated. Deceased did not recover the operation, and died. Verdict—Accidental Death. COLLEGE LIFE.—The singular " Life" led at our English Universities by the young scions of the re spective aristocracies of birth and wealth, has hitherto been guessed at rather than known, except in the limited circles to which the partakers in it belong. Thanks to the well-known and popular " Peter Prig gins" (henceforth to be still better known, and still more popular, as Mr. J. Hewlett, M.A., of Worcester College, Oxford), the sealed book has become an open one. His new work, " College Life," unites to all the humour, oddity, and entertainment of the writer's first production, " Peter Priggins," a variety and range of character, a fund of anecdote, and an ori ginality of style, that will greatly extend his well deserved reputation, and for force an d b rea d t h o f humour, it is scarcely surpassed by the best works of the late Theodore Hook, under whose auspices this writer was first introduced to public notice.

A young man named John James Hammond was brought before Messrs. Roots and Shrubsole, at the Town-hall, Kingston, yesterday, in custody of Thomas Wagstaff, a sergeant of the 3d regiment, charged with beinr , a rogue and vagabond, un d er th e f o ll ow i ng cir cumstances. The sergeant stated that the defendant came to him and offered to serve her Majesty, and he put the usual questions to him respecting his health, &c., and also asked hi m w h e th er h e had ever before served in the army, to all which questions he gave satisfactory answers, and witness enlisted him, and subsequently gave him twelve shillings.

ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE BLASPIIMOUS PAPERS IN HOLYWELL-STREET.—Yesterday Philip James Green, a man of respectable appearance, was charged with stealing a written pap er f rom the hop of Thos. Patterson, of 8, lloly well -street. George Clarke stated that he was shopboy to Mr. Patterson, and that he was in the shop ,an the after noon when the prisoner came up and asked him to take a placard from the window. Witness told him he could not do so without the sanction of his master. The prisoner repeated the request, and on witness again refusing he (prisoner) jumped upon the counter, and pulled the paper from the window, and gave it to a person with him. After a short time he asked him for it again. Witness had in the meantime sent for a policeman, and he gave the prisoner in charge. Mr. JARDINE inquired if there was any further evidence ?-1? 97, took the defendant into custody in Ilolywell-street. The prisoner gave. the paper pro duced into his hands in the station-house. Mr. JARDINE asked if the prisoner had anything to say ? The prisoner said he saw the witness (Clarke) taking the shutters down from the window, and saw the placards. He then went on into the City, where he saw his son, and having consult e d hi m , th e y agree d that they had better take the paper down. They went together to the shop, and he believed that what the: boa- had stated was perfectly correct. Mr. JARDINE—Who put up the placard, boy? Clarke—l did myself. Mr. JARDINE—Who directed you to put it up ? Clarke—That question I refuse to answer. Mr. JARDINE—Why do you decline to answer the question ? Clarke-1 have no particular reason. Mr. JARDINE—Did Patterson tell you not to answer the question ? Clarke—Yes, your Worship. Mr. JARDINE said that the prisoner was charged with theft, but the circumstances went to prove that it was not a theft. He did not think that the prisoner ought to have been given into custody. If Mr. Pat terson wished to proceed against him, his way was by action of trespass. He (Mr. Jardine) should not give any opinion whether he was right or wrong. He should, therefore, order him to be discharged. The prisoner thanked Mr. Jardine, and withdrew. The owner of the shop (Patterson) then stepped forward, and said he had an application to make, that the reports which had appeared in some of the morn ing papers might be contradicted. Mr. JARDINE said he had nothing to do with what might appear in the public press. Patterson said he wished to know whether the protection of the police was to be withdrawn from him, because he happened to exhibit in his window papers which did not exactly agree with the rigid notions o" some parties ? Mr: J.utDINE said the applicant must make a direr application, and he would attend to it. He (Patter. son) knew, as well as he did, that he was to be pro , tected. Patterson said he wished to know whether he could take a warrant against Mr. Bruce. Mr. JARDINE—For what? Patterson—For robbery. Mr. JARDINE—I must know the circumstances of the case, before I grant a warrant. Patterson said the facts were—that Mr. Bruce came to the shop and broke the window, and then removed the paper, which was, in his opinion a robbery. Mr. JARDINE said, that Patterson assumed that it was a robbery, whether it was so or not. Patterson said he had a witness who would prove that Mr. Bruce had stolen the paper. Mr. JARDINE answered that, if Mr. Bruce had been guilty of felony, the applicant could give him into custody. - Applicant—Then you refuse to grant a warrant. Mr. JARDINE said, he should decidedly. Patterson then applied for a warrant against Mr. Bruce, to bind him over to keep the peace. Mr. JARDINE said, he must know first whether there was any danger to be apprehended from him. Applicant stated, that Mr. Bruce had threatened to Weak every bone in his body. Mr. JARDINE said, there was not sufficient to justify him in granting a warrant, as he did not apprehend a breach of the peace. Patterson then requested that he might receive the Ss. that had been paid into Court for him for the broken windows. Mr. JARDINE granted this application, and ratten son then withdrew. TM! BARONESS DE FEUCHERES.—The property be queathed by the Prince de Conde to Baroness de Feucheres, and sold in Paris, on Saturday, by the heir of the latter, was adjudicated as follows, viz.:— • Francs. The domaine of Mortefontaine, for 1,620,000 The, Hotel at Place Vendome 542,050 The Forest of Montmorency, First lot .. Second lot Third lot .. Fourth lot Fifth lot , Sixth lot ... Seventh lot . 236,000 501,000 624,050 500,000 584,050 261,000 320,000 Total The domain of Mortefontaine and several lots of the forest were purchased by the Thanaron family. AUSTRIAN AMBASSADORS.—In Athens, Diogenes never sought for an honest man more hopelessly than Prince Metternich in Vienna for a fit Ambassador to the British Court. Count Colloredo, who was first on the list, is named to St. Petersburgh. Prince Felix Schwartzenhurg, now grown a brindled, serious diplomatist, is sent to do penance for his jennesses on the Bosphorus instead of on the Thames, in whose waters he had hoped to cast his anchor once more. Count Senfft Pilsach is a valetudinarian, and it is questioned whether he could endure the martyrdom of pleasure called a London season, during which a di plomatist is obliged to eat two dinners a day (although the first is called a breakfast), and squeeze him self into six soirees a night. One of the men who has most chance of coming to the British Court is Count Maurice Dietrichstein. He has rank, energy, shrewd ness, and his family enjoy great influence in Austria. The fact is, that Austria is poorly provided with men. There are no careers to form them for public busi ness except that of diplomacy. —Letter in the Post. TIIE ENCROACHMENTS ON THE POREST.—At length we find that effective steps are about to be taken to remedy the encroachments on the forest, which have been so much complained of. At a meeting at Ley ton, presided over by Mr. Alderman Copeland, reso lutions in favour of the revival of the Forty-day Court, as the most effective means of attaining the object, were entered into, and it appeared that it was the earnest desire of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests that it should be resumed.—Essex Herald. DREADFUL MURDER. We regret that we are this morning called upon to record the occurrence of a case of murder similar to that for which, some years ago, so many individuals suffered in this city—the murder of a wife by her husband. It appears that yesterday (Sunday) morning Charles Mackay, a ham curer, in the employment of a provision merchant in the city, had been drinking, in company with his wife, in a dram-shop in the lower part of the town, and that some dispute had afterwards taken place between them in their lodgings at the foot of the Old Wynd, in a house occupied by a woman named Tenney or M'Kenzie. The immediate cause of quarrel is un derstood to have arisen from the circumstance that Mackay had found no breakfast prepared for him, on account of which some angry words passed between the parties. At two o'clock, while a number of people were in the house, and when his wife was standing at a window, Mackay laid hold of a sharp pointed knife, and making a violent attack upon her, stabbed her in the thigh, inflicting a wound of great depth, which caused the blood to flow so profusely, that immediate fears were entertained for the woman's life. A surgeon was instantly called, but, notwith standing every effort made in her behalf, the un fortunate woman died within an hour and a half after the wound had been inflicted.—Glasgow Argues. A POLITICAL DUEL.—At an early hour on Satur day last, a hostile meeting took place between J. P. Stanfield, Esq., of Marford House, Surrey, and Sir Robert Cardington, of Wilford. The parties, ac companied by their respective seconds and a medical gentleman, met on Westwood-common, and an ex change of shots took place without effect. The seconds then interfered, but failed in effecting any adjustment of the affair, and the principals were again placed in a hostile position, the distance being twelve paces, and the firing simultaneous. At the second discharge the ball from Mr. Stanfield took effect on the right arm of his opponent, severely slaattering the bone near the elbow, whilst the ball from Sir Robert's pistol glancing across the left shoulder of Mr. Stan field, passed completely thrcugh the collar of that gentleman's coat, without inflicting any injury. The affair then terminated. The misunderstanding arose at a late Anti-Corn-law meeting held at Wilford, and at which the two gentlemen took opposite views of the question.---avertiser. 1z e,,4f .e e,... e y o . . ._ .. _ , . .- • - , ... cleft , -es ` - i - • # ~.-„,....t....... 1-, olt_g i4 , •. . _ 4' ,-,...... •7, ~_„..„1 „ .. 4, ---____..----- --tf , . ~,,, .. .. .. .. i THE _ / g4 - i— Jg . - ~ L .

In this feeling we have de. • sympathised, knowing not only how ingeniou. • t also with What labour, are produced those ar estined to figure in the world of pleasire—and deep dis tress prevails, even when the London sc -n is but , curtailed of a mon th o f it s usua l duration. Ye need scarcely remind our rea d ers th a t th e i n t eres iug .event which will so happily add to the hopes of the nation, and to the objects of her Majesty's dearest affections . , is only exp ec t e d t owar d s t h e month of May. Until then, and for at least a month afterwards, he Ma jesty will be obli ge d t o restr i ct the c i rcle of Royal hospitalfiz: and society will be deprived of that im pulse which our Sovereign has habitually given to pleasure, no less' with the view to the solid benefit of the industrious etas:7es than to the more ephemeral recreation of their superiors. Under these circumstences we are happy to give currency to the rumour prevailing in the highest re gions of society, that an illustrious lady will be de puted to hold the drawing-room during the seasam, seconded by the ever ready efforts of that most amia ble Prince, the Royal Consort. As regards such a plan being adopted, we entertain little doubt, being• persuaded that her Majesty, who has so often and so generously proved her deep interest in the welfare of the trade of the metropolis, will not forget their inte rests under circumstances so threatening to their best hopes. As to the illustrious lady we allude to, we consider her being chosen to represent her Majesty to be the more likely, on account of the recent and auspicious removal from the Court of a certain Wl known intermediary, and of the justly increasing as cendancy of one combining the gentlest and mo s t affectionate interest, with the necessary wivdom and firmness.—Post. BARNSTAPLE and NORTH DEVON AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. (From the North Devon Advertiser.) The annual exhibition of fat cattle, for premiums offered by the above Society, took place in the Rack field at Barnstaple, on Friday last. r • The show of beasts was very splendid, far surpassing that of any previous exhibition of the Society. The dinner took place at Marsh's Golden Lion Hotel, and was attended by a large party. Viscount Ebrington presided, supported by his Noble father Earl Forteseue ; A. S. 'Willett, Esq. ; J. D. Bassett, Esq.; and many other gentlemen of the county. The CHAIRMAN, immediately on the removal of the cloth, proposed " The Queen," which was drank with the usual honours. After other toasts, The Rev. J. PTKE proposed " The Health of the Lord Lieutenant of the County," which was received with deafening cheers. Earl FORTESCUE, in returning thanks said, be hardly need, on this occasion, to repeat the opi nions which he had always advocated, that, in the great and mixed community of which this kingdom was composed, the prosperity of every interest de pended upon a union of the whole.—(Hear, hear.) Since he last had the honour to address a meeting of this description, great and important legislative mea sures had been adopted respecting the importation of foreign agricultural produce into this country. It was no part of his duty, and foreign to the object of these meetings, either to praise or condemn the princi ples by which such measures were carried out—it was sufficient for us to know that they had now become the law of the land, and by them our relations i7ith other countries must be directed. But he woulc; boldly state, with respect to their mingling political with agricultural discussion, that we ought, as wise and prudent men, to hold ourselves ready for further regulations for the admission of foreign corn. He did not take his opinion on this subject simply from the distress that prevailed among the manufacturing population of the kingdom ; but he thought they mast look, in the next session of Parliament, for further re laxation in the laws for the admission of foreign corn ; and he would ask those who were in the habit of watching the political horizon, whether they were not themselves prepared for further changes ? It was only this day he had read of an agricultural meeting in a neiEchbouring county, where he saw with pleasure the sentiments of Mr. Acland, son of Sir T. Dyke Acland (the respected Member for the north of Devon, and the representative of the western division of So merset). The meeting he alluded to was at Yeovil ; and the sentiments delivered by the respected gentle man whose name he had introduced were as follow : —" He would not," he said, " allude to all the measures of the late Government, but mould confine himself to those questions affecting that particular interest, agri culture, with which the present meeting was connected. He would say that he had already supported the Go vernment on those measures, from the conviction that, in these times, no class of the community ought to wish or expect to have such protection as was injurious to other classes and to the , general interests of the country; and it was his opinion that all these ques tions should be met with great consideration and with moderation by all parties. But he would observe, that they must not rely too much upon the legisla ture for what was called protection against foreign competition, for the time was come when the best security for all interests was an increased intelligence and perseverance, so that they might produce the best articles at the lowest rate. This might be taken to apply alike to agriculture and manufactures, for these were not times when any class could safely rest upon their oars, but all must endeavour, if they would withstand foreign c om p e titi on , to produce the best articles at the lowest price. He hoped that what ever changes had taken place, or might take place— he did not know of any further changes in contem plation—they would, looking to the balance of in terests, work for the good of all." Why did he quote this ? Only from the satisfaction he experienced at finding that those sound and just principles which he had always advocated were supported by a gentleman for whose opinions he not only enter tained the most sincere respect, but who, not twelve months ago, was of a different opinion —a gentleman, from the part he had taken in agricultural questions, to whose opinions he would attach more weight than to his own.—(Hear, hear.) 'When he saw such in telligent persons as this throwing aside their former opinions, might -he not safely argue the probability , that greater alterations would take place in the intro duction of foreign produce ? It was their duty at least to be prepared for further changes in this re spect. Not long ago he had read an article in one of the journals of this town on the subject of a reduction of rents, and the probability that it must take place throughout the country. He (Earl F.) was the last person to deny that it was the duty as well as the interest of the landlord to apportion the rents to the circumstances o f th e ti me s. --(Hear, hear.) He felt satisfied that the exaction of exorbitant rents was both an injustice to the landlord , and ruinous to the occupier.—(Hear, hear. At the same time, however, when he said this e could not say that a would successfully reduction of rents to any great extent, - successfully resist the competition of dye fo reigner. It had been proved by experien ce , that the lowest rented lands were not always the best culti vated ; unduly low rents, lie feared, too often took from the tenant that stimulus to exertion which was absolutely necessary ; the landlord, in consulting the interest of the tenant, would best consult his own in terest by going hand in hand with him in draining, fencing, and in every other mode of improving the lands they held.—(Hear, hear.) He believed if that course were generally pursued, the productive powers of the land would be best developed—he believed that, by means of giving additional employment to the la bourer, and his labour being most beneficially adapt e d to the land, the interest of all classes would be con sulted, and they would have nothing to fear from any competition that might be produc e d by changes of the law. He had felt it his duty to make these observa tions, in no spirit of political party, but from his own impressions as to the state of agricultural profits ; and he begged to repeat his thanks for the honour the meeting had conferred upon him by the handsome way in which they drank his health.—(The Noble Earl sat down amidst great applause.) The CHAIRMAN proposed " Success to the Barn staple and North Devon Agricultural Society." J. D. BASSETT, Esq., acknowledged the toast in a short but animated speech. He advised them to stick to the plough ; and, if the members of this Association acted as they were enabled to do, they would over come all difficulties. The Hon. Gentleman, amidst great applause, proposed " The Health of Lord Vis count Ebrington, the Noble Chairman." The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks. Earl FORTESCUE rose, and proposed as the next toast, " The President Elect for the ensuing year." The Noble Earl said, as he had proposed this toad, he might, perhaps, be allowed to add, that he hoped the company would fill a bumper to the health of the Noble Lord, who, from the time that he became pos sessed of property in th e coun t y, had directed li g energies, as a country gentle man , t o t h e benefits of agriculture, and all classes residing in his neighbour hood could bear testimony to the improvement his estates exhibited since he possessed them. His Lord ship, indeed, was a happy example of what might be effected by the union of landlord and tenant in the improvement of agricultural property.—(Hear, hear.) No one, he felt assured, was more able to preside over a meeting of this kind; and with those feelings he begged to propose Lord Clinton's health.—(Received with rapturous applause.) Several other toasts were drunk, and the meeting separated. DR. Join.
