TBE GERMAN MERVENARIES.—A SUG GESTION for " WEEDING" the POLICE. We are informed by certain of those new-fangled Englishmen who are concerned in the ruin of the Empire, and who are content to be " guarded" by foreign mercenaries against foreign foes and them selves, that the " British" Foreign Legion has been carefully " weeded." There is nothing now save flowers in that Jager Corps. Let Britannia wear this expensive, but not very fragrant bouquet of exotics in her bosom proudly and carefully. She has certainly not hitherto exposed it to any very great danger. The Scotch thistle, the Irish sham rock, and English rose, she has remorselessly scat tered on the ground. Many leaves and blossoms have been trampled in blood and mud upon Cri mean soil. But these German battalions are now " weeded"—they form England's chosen and pecu liar nosegay, and should she not be persuaded to retain the sweet smelling expensive luxury herself, urged by the representations of the generous crea tures of the J enkyns class, who would crawl on hands and knees into the antechamber of any Co burg Court, we shall present it full-blown to the people of the Cape—while plants of British growth wither and die for want of bare sustenance and culture, and are trampled in the dirt, even as paupers are thrust into the shallow graves of star vation, suicide, and despair. We are about to send these "weeded" German troops to the Cape, each man with an Eufield a camp equipage, and a wife. Those who are not married are to take unto themselves English maidens. Dedea Redanies was in too great haste. It is evident that he has missed a chance. He is not, however, a German. Celestina Somner is. Why cannot she have a free pardon, and a passage to the Cape ? We do not learn where all the " weeds" have been cast that have been rejected from the Legion. Are they left to grow wild in England ? We will answer for it that they are not sent back to father-land. They are handy fel lows these Germans. Look at the creditable neat ness and ingenuity displayed in their camps. So, therefore, we know that some have gone into the engraving (of Bank of England notes) line, and others ' probably have set up, with the British bounty accorded to them, in various other branches of trade. All this is, of course, highly favourable to science and art. We are such an ignorant people. We want Teutonic instruction, and it seems we are to have it, from the highest as well as the lowest professors. But must we lose our brave defenders, our protectors, our champions against Russia, the warriors who fought through the ar duous campaign of Heligoland, the heroes of the siege of Shorncliffe, who may inscribe on their ban ners Aldershot, Malta, Corfu, 1855.6, and whose glorious career wound up with the gallant affair of Browndon, under Field-Marshal Prince Albert, the battle of Wyvenhoe Park, and the storming of the fortress of Gurdon Rebow ? Must we be de prived of this "national" guard ? Supposing that there should be a riot from high prices and low wages, on whom could we so well depend to put it down ? Suppose that it were found necessary to break up that ill-working machine, the British Constitution, which for all practical purposes is useless, and, rococo, likely to become as much out of date as " puddling" iron, or, to make use of a simpler comparison, as backsword and wrestling forbidden in Windsor Castle pastimes ! Must we go to the expense of purchasing another foreign army ? Must head-money be supplied to Baron Stutter heim again ? Must fresh sets of Jagers be con tinually bought and given away to hyrid Anglo- Dutch colonies, leaving our "fair side all un guarded," save by "drunken Highlanders and 41st men ?" Forbid it, Homburg and Hesse Casel ! Forbid it, Tour and Taxis ! Forbid it, Baden ! To prevent this unnecessary expense, we too have a plan. We propose to repopulate the Highlands, instead of colonising the Cape. We can march the Legion up to the north, quartering them in English towns, and getting them married en route. If the Court were to set the example, with the powerful aid of the Duchess of Sutherland, this suggestion might be adopted and carried out with the utmost ease. The tenure would be, of course, military service. The " camp equipage" might be dispensed with, and the money saved expended in marriage dowries, model cottages, musical instru ments, and materials for the cultivation of science, animal-stuffing, high-farming, and the arts. The German language is as musical as Gaelic, and for deer-stalking might be substituted battues dla .Royale. Even the wild boar might be cultivated as well as the stag, and every barren spot where ejectment has taken place, that the stalking ex ploits of the aristocrat might be recorded in the Morning Post,' would become a smiling "little" Saxe-Gotha, with sporting attractions after its kind. The " little" is a pleonasm, but we wish to express something endearing to the British heart. The "thin red line" of the aborigines is getting thinner and shorter each year, and we feel that it will hardly bear extension at a second Balaklava. Truly the idea is promising, and bids fair to be supporti.d by fashion and frivolity, more powerful in the nineteenth century than any antiquated ideas of England for the English, Ireland for the Irish, and Scotland for the Scotch. Where a Pan mure could " hobble" his single deer, he will be • able to shoot down ten. The Germans will form a ring and hunt the game into a circle, as in Ger many. We believe that the Duke of Atholl, or some other popular nobleman, has already inau gurated in Sco land t'sat species of sport. On one occasion, the moment of onslaught was lost by the inopportune juncture of the Royal hour of lunch. The Billies had all their work in vain. But in Germany the animals are so much tamer, and the thing is altogether so pleasantly organised, that luncheon, or even dinner, may intervene without causing more than a temporary prorogation of the battue. Warmed by our subject, and the consciousness of the great reward that we have earned by this sug gestion, so much in accordance with the manners and customs of the British in this enlightened cen tury, we have a second proposition to make. We are inclined to think that the police force of the metropolis is in great want of " weeding" at this present time. Neither liberty nor property— to say nothing of life—is secure from their guardians. There is connivance in robbery—there is apathy in murder-cases—there is brutal violence towards fe males. The married woman is confounded with the street-walker, and the latter is subject to a species of tyranny, somewhat resembling the bru talities exercised towards the nuns of Minsk. Every one knows that formerly blackmail was .levied in the Highlands. It is now not unfre quently " collected" in the streets of the Sassenach. Moreover, an Englishman's, or Englishwoman's, house is no longer his or her castle ; for we read (vide Police Report, Bow-street, Aug. 27) that a constable, armed with a rattle, pursues a woman into the den, or retreat called home, and drags her out of bed. Moreover, the policeman seems to lay claim to whatever money au unfortunate creature may possess, for we find him coolly putting the contents of her pocket into his own—a proceeding which she and her female associates had the unpa ralleled insolence to stigmatise as robbery, thereby exciting his wrath to the attack. As if a police ' man, on duty, could rob ! Even Mr. Henry was not quite satisfied with such conduct, and thought that the razzia in the house was, to say the least, " imprudent." By Mr. Henry, as well as to him, policemen are ac customed to swear, but it seems that worthy magis trate would place a limit somewhere to the police man's power. We may recur to the topic of the partial demoralisation of the police. East and west of Temple-bar there is a great difference iu favour of the former. Undoubtedly, the stipend iary magistrate is more despotic, more Austrian, iu • his views of the impunity of the " Force," than the municipal Lord Mayor. We hold that the interference with the liberty of the subject, frequently exhibited on the part of a licentious or tyrannical policeman, is worse, in one respect, than the impu n it y of the French or Neapolitan conservator of "order," since the latter only enters the domicile of the citizen upon political pretexts. That is a state of things we are fast approaching, but to which we have not quite arrived. The interciange . of ideas with Napoleon led to mutual hints for i m . provement. He has borrowed part of the system of Sir R. Mayne; our authorities were struck with aa?miration at his paternal sway. The New Police Bill was meant as a step in the despotic direction. Only it was somewhat curtailed by Parliament of its intended powers. As, however, the " system " is under process of development, it would be as • well, while there is yet time, for us poor frogs to - entreat beneficent King Stork to weed " our. own blue-coated and domestic " Legion." Kaffir war fare is cruej, unrelenting, pitiless. We could spare a few well-drilled, active, and intelligent men and officers out of the army of Peel, to prosecute the Savageries of that border strife. The moral effect of the truncheon might supersede the baton of the commander in bush conflict. We feel persuaded that the Amazons of,the monarch of Dahomi him self would fly befor e Such practised woman-quellers as the more sophisticate 1 portion of the London police. The wife of Sandilli would tremble with a species of fascination at the sound of the deadly rattle plastered with blood and hair, even as the bird loses its faculties when it hears the rattle of the snake i n the parched grass of the wilderness. Let, then, a strong body be drafted from the vari ous divisions of the Force, which, taken as a whole, performs its " duties " so adniirably, but which, like the German Legion, ere it became p er f ect stands in some need of "weed in g , " and let us despatch it as a gift to the borderers of the Cape. If the German element be neceuary, the Govern. THE SUN, LON DON.

Tt is nonsense, in justification of the seizure of these boat?, to say that Wm. Walker had made arrangements with another set of men for another line of steamer=, and that they disappointed him. Poor Richard has a pro verb, which, had he common sense, he vvoul.l have re• membered—"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Gen. Walker sent 240 men to take Liberia (Guana caste on the maps), a place which at that time no 1,000 men on the face of God's broad earth, of any nat;oo or clime whatever, could possibly have subdued. The road to it is a narrow mule path, in very few places more than 18 inc Lea wide, over elevated mountains and through deep gorges, in which the sunshine seldom penetrates, and when you ride your feet press painfully against the abrupt sides of hills, which tower 20, 30, and even 61 feet on either hand. Between San Juan del Sur and Liberia there are thousands of places where ten resolute men could have checked effectually —no, literally crushed, the entire army of Col. Schlessinger. The world is now familiar with the shameful stampede of Santa Rosa. The surprising party were surprised, and Col. Schlessin ger, the gallant Hungarian and friend of Kossutb, led the van in the ignominious flight. Walker must have been hopelessly crazy, and shame fully ignorant of the immense resources of the country. As for Gen. Schlessinger, he was scarcely a day without some insult being offered him by the soldiers—some indignity by the officers ; the officers hated him ; the privates despised him. And yet, knowing his personal unpopularity, knowing that soldiers cannot fight unless they have confidence in their commanding officer, Gen. Walker, with that mulish obstinacy, which is one of his predominant characteristics (and which his wily syco phants fancifully call Roman firmness), persisted in placing him in command of th e troops, although his sage Mentor, Edmund Randolph, advised the contrary. There is no necessity to say more on this head. The stampede at Santa Rosa is a strong confirmation, "strong al proofs of Holy Writ," that Col. Schlessinger was both an imbecile and a coward, and the placing of bim in c •mmand of the troops, contrary to the will of the entire army, is evidence conclusive that Gen. Walker is no judge of competency or character. Lastly, why was the battle of Rivas lost ? That it was lost is apparent from this fact —he went to take Rivas, and he did not do it. If more evidence is wanting, we adduce this damning proof—he left his dead and wounded on the field, the former were buried by his enemies, and the latter, at least as many as survived their wounds, are now prisoners of war. We repeat the question— Why was the battle lost ? For neglecting an elementary rule of warfare—one which is urgently insisted upon by every military writer from Xenophon down to Scott : and that rule is, never to despise your enemy, but to march against Lilliputians as if each man of them were Goliath of Gath. Yet Walker sent his soldiers a dis tance of 20 leagues, without sufficient food and ammu nition, to fight an army 2,000 strong. When several of his officers urgently pressed on him the necessity of taking more ammunition, he answered, " I think we shall fire one or two rounds, and then take the place." Yet the battle lasted 18 hours. The memorialists proceed te state that since the 10th of March, neither the officers nor privates of Walker's army have received a cent per day ; that the former have to go about daily with bags, haggling and quarrel ling for their rations ; that the motives which led Walker to Nicaragua were merely mercenary. For 52,000 acres of land, Wm. Walker, like another roving Dugald Dalgetty, sold his blood to the democratic party of Nicaragua. Remember, reader, Walker was influenced by no high, no elevated, no ennobling principle in thus engaging in the politics of Central America—it was simply a matter of dollars and cents. Had the Chamorro party offered him,),-00,000 acres of land, he would, with far greater faci.lty, have enlisted himself on their side. It might'be asked if Walker were not a great man, how could he collect 800 men around him ? On this it is ob• served that the first few who were cajoled to go out were shown that they were not enough to hold the country, or to ..et out of it, and that, being "ali in the same Jaoat,'''' they must keep up the humbug by sending to Ca lifornia'and the States the most wonderful reports, so as to persuade others to join them. As for his soldiers, though they dislike and despise him, self-preservation keeps them from revolting. He has conducted the hum bug in comparative safety thus far. Their position is ex tremely critical. They are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and, should they dethrone the " Little Acci dent," each captain of a company would be an aspirant for the office of the dictatorial commonwealth. They would then be an army of Kilkenny cats, and each would destroy the other. The memorial concludes as follows " The underigned prisoners further say that they are now prisoners through William Walker's criminal stu pidity and ignorance. That they were decoyed from their comfortable homes in the States by splendid pro mises of gain and glory, not one of which has been or can ever be complied with, and they earnestly beg and implore the young and thouzhtless of the United States not to suffer themselves (as 800 men have been) to be deluded by promises, more unsubstantial than air, more unreal than dreams.

THE DUKE OF .IVOIiTHUMBERLIND'S PREMIUMS TO PRIZE FARMS. The beautiful and fertile district around Stanwick- Park, the seat of hip Grace the Duke of Northumberland, in North Yorkshire, has this week bee❑ the scene of an interesting competition for prizes given by his grace for the beat managed farms on the Stanvvick and neighbour ing estates. These prizes were originated last year, and consisted of 38/. for the best managed farm exceeding 200 acres, and of one of 151. for a farm not exceeding 200 acres, but more than 20 acres. They were announced to be open to all tenant farmers residing in the town ships of Standwick, Aldbrough, Melsonby, Gayles, Dal ton, Forcett, Eppleby, East and West Layton, Caldwell, Barfortb, Cliffe, and Manfield, and to all tenants of the Duke of Northumberland in Yorkshire. It was intimated that the award would be given for good cultivation, state of fences and gates, roads, water courses, buildings (as far as depends on tenants), live stock, implements, best kept accounts, use of artificial manure, or the contrary, and including everything connected with good hus bandry, and to be adjudged by three competent judges, when the crops were near maturity, but before cutting had commenced, probably in the month of August. It was sated that prizes under these conditions would be given for three years, namely, in 1855, 1856, and 1857, and that the successful competitor would not be entitled to gain the prize in two successive years. Competitors were requested to signify their intention to compete on or before the 13th May, addressed to Mr. Aroh. Moore, agent of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, at Stanwick. Last year the schema opened most success fully with six competitors, three of whom were his grace's tenants, and three those of other proprietors, thus evinc ing that the interest of the prizes was not confined to the estates of his grace. The prizes were then awarded to a tenant of the duke and to the tenant of the Earl of Brownlow, neither of whose farms could, therefore, be offered for this year's competition. This year there were five competitors, viz. FOR THE FIFTEEN POUND PRIZE. 1. Mr. George Bowes, Laytoon Moor, tenant of Edward Kemp, Esq., Layton Hall. 2. Mr. Francis Dent, Caldwell, tenant of Lord Alford. 3. Mr. John Golightly, Grey Stones, tenant of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland. FOR THE THIRTY POUED PRIZE. 4. Mr. Richard Kay, Forcett Valley, tenant of John Mit chell, Esq., Forcett Hall. 5. Mr. John Clark, Aldbrougb, tenant of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland. Of these entries three, namely, Mr. Bowes, Mr. Kay, and Mr. Clark were competitors last year, the remaining two now entered for the first time. The inspection of the competing farms took place on Tuesday, happily with fine weather, and the judges were J. Snowball, of Ne therwitton, near Morpeth, agent for the Earl of Eldon, and others ; Mr. E. Lawson, of Redesdale Cottage, agent for Lord Redesdale, Admiral Mitford, &c. ; and Mr. R. J. Wiley, agent for the Duke of Leeds, Hornby Castle, near Catterick. The same parties officiated as judges last year ; and Mr. Moore, who might well con gratulate himself on the selection of gentlemen of un doubted experience and unbiassed judgment, like the three we have named, obtained their assistance also on this occasion. This was an arrangement in every respect advantageous, as the pains they had bestowed, and the awards they had given last year, tended not only to justify the selection of his grace's agent, but to inspire confidence in competitors that merit would in every case carry the day; and as enabling them to institute a com parison between the state of the farms in the former and the present competition, as well as to arrive at a more complete estimate of the state of the farms than new judges could have done. The judges commenced their duties sooa after 9 o'clock onTuesday morning, and were conducted to the different farms by Mr. Sturges, son-in law of Mr. Moore, and agent of H. B. Pierce, Esq., of Bedale Hall. To this gentleman every inch of ground ap peared to be familiar; and the various tenants accompa nied the judges over their respective farms, and afforded such information as was required. The judges first pro ceeded to the farm of Mr. Bowes, the occupier of 80 acres under Mr. Kemp, whose farm exhibited every mark of careful and industrious farming. As but few cattle were here kept, no fewer than 65 acres were allotted to tillage, on for the most part a three years' course ; nor had he spared either lime, guano, or other manures, so far as could be obtained ; Vie land was clean, and the fences were in a good state ; but the land appeared to be in indifferent heart, mainly owing probably to the drains, which had been ;aid at a time when the operation and importance of them were not so well understood as now, not being deeper than 2.j feet. The landlord, it was explained, had supplied the draining tiles and done the cutting, and the tenant had placed them in. Mr. Bowes sad he inspected the action of his drains once a year. ' The judges expressed a wish to inspect one al s o, and Mr. Bowes, picking up three spades, conducted them to a field in fallow, and, pitching on a spot, at once dug dawn, and there, two-and-a-half feet deep, appeared the tile drains, laid in most exact order, and there was seen, on lifting one of the tiles, about a foot long, the water flowing beautifully down in the bed made by the drain. We may hire, as before, give every credit to this hard working and painstaking farmer, who, once a labourer, is now a tenant of a considerable farm, which he culti vates with the assistance of only a boy, who was at the time ploughing in the field ; and although unable to snatch the prize from farmers of larger means, greater early advantages, and it may b e r i c h er land, appears en titled to every credit, and, with such encouragement as so deserving a tenant is entitled to from his landlord, may not despair of eventually carrying off the prize. The judges ware next conducted to the farm of Mr. Kay, which comprises 330 acres, 270 of which are arab'e, and 110 in grass, and which carries a considerable number of cattle and sheep. It vvill be remembered that this farm last year received very flattering commendation from the ju iges ; and ;hid year it presents an equally, if Hot more favourable appearance with referenco t') the ariou-t points specified in the conditions of the competition. Un fortunately, however, either from the excessive rains, or from the land being now for the first time applied to that crop, a considerable portio n o f th e w h ea t h a d a disco ' loured appearance, and some of the turnips bad been a failure. Tnis, however, had resulted from no fault in the management of the farm, but from atmoephete or other influences, and was held, therefore, to de• • tract in no degree from the enlightened, scientific, and painstaking cultivation of the farm. The stock of Mr. Kay appeared also to be excellent; and the impression with which this farm was Btu veyed was highly favourable both to the enterprise and skill of the tenant and the li berality of the landlord. The last subject on which in quiry was made were the farming accounts kept, which appeared to be very complete, with one exception, viz., that ho :had omitted the important item of expenditure upon the household derived from the farm. Tee next farm visited was that of Ur. Dent, a tenant of Lord Al. ford, at Caldwell. Mr. Dent was a competitor for the 151. prize, and had a very excellently cultivated and well kept farm of 115 acres, 33 of which were in pasture and meadrw, the remainder arable, and who had also a capital sho w of stock ; the implements were, moreover, varied and well chosen ; and the accounts were kept with careful detail, the totals being brought to present a re gular debtor and creditor account, which told the tenant his exact position at the end of the year. Mr. Dent, and his son, by whom he is assisted, and who accom panied the judges over the field, presented favourable specimens of the modern English farmer, and the gene ral state and fertility of ithe farm bore testimony to at once 'great - painstaking, and liberal and enlightened farming, which deservedly secured the priza The farm of Mr. John Golightly, of Grey Seanes, was next inspected by the judges. It was also a comp e tit or for . the 151. prize, and contained 133 acres, which had been entered upon eight years ago in a very indifferent state, and since beer, brought, by ashin er's work and jtricious expenditure, t o a vory fa vourable, if not extremely fertile state. The land was for the most part arable; and with the view of increasing its productiveness manure had bean very liberally applied, especially guano, of which Mr. Go lightly appeared to apply to the value of 561. or 60/. annually to his land. On the whole, this tenant, who had taken the farm in an almost wild state, appeared, as was said, " to have gone the right way to work," and now, BO well directed - seemed to have been the labour upon it, that no such change had probably passed upon any farm in the district as upon this ; and, while it, failed to carry off the prize, the commendation accorded to it must be encouraging as it is well deserved. The last farm visited was that of Mr. Clsrh, an elderly gen• tae-mar,, the thriving occupier of a bea As sstitul and 1.-1 t farm of 425 acres, o f which 210 are arable, and a cose-i -d,raala portion of it was covered with Leavy wheat crape, part cut, with every other kind of crop equally goo d. A considerable quantity of stock is also kept, and it appeared to be in excellent condition. This farm ap pears to have been held by its present occupier ler 36 years. It presents a highly favourable specimen of care ful and industrious farming, and since last year has un dergone considerable improvement in a variety of re competition, op me epts;ti aard v o ie t w w - , hi n ci n i q t u .n e e sti joundagbelys, the pr esen t weiceme a and an ardu toads favo ura bl e mention. At all the farms the judges were rec e i ve d with o th u e s y o dmosta I f ) inspection, f:ar ty and h d os u p ri i n ta g ble which they had care f u l ly gone over every part of every farm, closed about seven o'clock. The following was subsequently given as their award : PRIZES FOR THE BEST MANAGED FARMS GIVEN BY Ms GRACE THE DUBE OF NORTHUMBERLAND. We, having been appointed to award the prizes given by his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, of 301. and 15/., for the best cultivated farms within the townships of Stan wick, Aldbrough, Melsonby, Gayles, Dalton, Forcott, Eppleby, East and West Layton, Caldwell, Barforth, lannfield * and including all tonantm of his Ono in Yorkshire, hereby award to Mr. Richard Kay, of Forcett Valley, tenant of John Mitchell, Esq., of Forcett, the sum of 301., being the sums to be awarded for the best culti vated farm exceeding 200 acres ; and to Mr. Francis Dent, ,of Caldwell, tenant of Lord Alford, 151., being the sum to e awarded for the best cultivated farm not exceeding 200 acres; these premiums being awarded with reference to L` he cultivation of the farm, the state of the roads, fences, end gates, water-courses, buildings, live stock, imple )aaents, best kept accounts, the use of artificial manure, :Lnd including everything connected with good husbandry. We think it right and just to state that the cultivation of the farm of Aldbrough, by Mr. Clark, is very much lul -1 )roved since last year, and his crops are most satisfactory i e consequence ; and that we highly commend Mr. Ge lightly, of Grey Stones, for his industry and good manage. anent. Dated this 27th Aug., 1856. EDw. LAWSON. Jos. SNOWBALL. ROBT. JAS. WILEY. The judges expressed a regret that the competition had not been more general, as being acompetition which they i.tonsidered peculiarly calculated to give an impulse to all parts of good husbandry, and improve the agricultural character of the district. While this feeling will be gene rah concurred in, it is not, in the meantime, wonderful that a backwardness should, at the outset, pre ;ail to enter into this new kind of competition, in which neither ex cellence in stock, nor any isolated branch of good farm ing, will carry off the prize, but excellence in all depart ments must be manifested. But the scheme having now, even under circumstances of considerable disadvantage, obtained a footing, it is expected to be entered upon very generally by the tenants with vigour, and it is under stood that next year will amply realise the most san guine wishes of the munificent originator and enlightened promoters of these prizes. The judges, as formerly, were the guests of Mr. Moore, his grace's agent, at Carlton Hall, where several gentlemen bad been invited to meet them, including Thos. Mason, Esq., of Pallinsburn, an enterprising and thriving agriculturist, who at the last Northumberland Agricultural Show earned off several prizes; the Rev. Mr. Gilpin, incumbe t of Aldbrongh; T. t3urgess, Esq., Bedale; B. Wilson, Esq., Aske; T. Brad ley, Esq., Richmond, &c. In the course of Tuesday evening the health of the judges, to whom he paid a high compliment, and expressed his obligations for their valu able services, was given by the chairman, Mr. Moore, accompanied by the expression of a wish that they would next year also undertake the duty, to which these gentlemen at once gave a willing consent, and expressed their very decided approval of the beneficial influence of this kind of competition. The chairman also proposed the health of Mr. Mason, as the son of an old and valued friend ; and that gentleman proposed the health of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, to whose contribu tions to agricultural societies, and now his origination of this prize scheme, he particularly referred. The chair man acknowledged the compliment on behalf of his grace. A. variety of other toasts were drunk, includ ing that of the chairman, proposed by Mr. Snowball, and most cordially received ; and the evening, as well as Monday evening, was spent with the utmost harmony of social intercourse, in which a variety of agricultural topics of interest and importance underwent animated and not unprofitable discussion. —Newcastle Journal. GENERAL IYALKFIR'S CHARACTER AND CAREER. Seven of the soldiers of Walker's army taken prison ers by the Costa Ricans, at and after the battle of Santa Rosa, have issued an address to the citizens of the United States (dated Punta Arenas, May 21, 1856), in which they review General Walker's history, and his claims to be considered a great man, and in their own words, " prove by the eight principal events in his life, that he is no general, no statesman, no lawyer, no judge of human nature, and even a most ridiculous imitator of Don Quixote de la Mancha." The period of their imprisonment, they state, is the only free moment which they have enjoyed in Central America, of expressing their sincere, honest, and ma ture convictions, with the least hope of their communi cations ever reaching their destination in the United States. The reason is that Gen. W. Walker has, for many months past, established a strict system of espio nage over the Post-offices of Nicaragua, and no letter or other communication is permitted to pass to a fo reign country, unless it is replete with the most fanciful accounts of his greatness, his glory, and the unparalleled success of his arms. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that the Ame rican newspapers teem with such fulsome compliments to his greatness. Their motive in presenting Walker as he is is to prevent in future (if possible) the young men of the United States from being deluded, betrayed and deceived as they have been, by magnificent promises of gain and glory, not one of which has or will ever be com plied with, Our opinions, they add, are the sober and serious sentiments of every North American soldier in Walker's army, every one of whom, except a few officials, would affix his signature to this document if he were free in speech and action. The eight principalevents on which they base their judgment respecting Walker's incapacity and ignorance„are his attack on Lower California at the outset of his military career, with only 56 men ; his at tempt after the treaty with Gen. Ccrrales to reconcile and amalgamate the conflicting parties in Nicaragua ; the exe• cution of Corral ; the sending P. H. French as minister to Washington ; the seizure of the steamers of th e T rans it Company; the despatch of only 240 men to take Liberia ; the placing Col. Schlessinger in command of the army which invaded Costa Rica ; and, lastly, his (Walker's) neglect of an elementary rule of warfare, whence ensued the disastrous defeat at Rivas on the 11th of April, 1856. In reference to the attack on Lower California, the memorialists say :—With 56 men be invaded a country with whose resources he must have been entirely unac quainted. Without a map, without guides, without men, means, or munitions of war ; without the remotest hope for aid or co-operation among the people whom he was invading. With 56 men he expected to conquer half a million of men, with all the aids appliances, and muni tions of war. The wo r ld i s families with his disgraceful and dishonourable defeat. HistLry refuses to present a parallel of such idiotic folly, over which some flattering apologists have lately attempted to throw the mantle of charitable indulgence by ingeniously asserting "that he was young, inexperienced, and just a little too enthusi astic." Our own impression is that he had just arisen from the perusal of such works as Prescot's Conquest of Mexico, Dampier, Ovido, and Peter M ar t yr , w h ere he kad read that Gil Gonzales de Avila had conquered Nicaragua with one hundred men and four horses, and with a mind morbidly insane he fancied he would achieve . equal greatness with fifty-six veterans. This attempt to reconcile the conflicting parties in Nicaragua (though re deemed by a good and benevolent motive) was equally foolish. To enable the reader fully to understand this ojection, it is necessary to state that the two parties now existing in Nicaragua have been conducting, for years past, the most bitter and uncompromising wars against each other. The Democrats invited Walker to subdue the Charnor ristas' and when th ese were pu t d own we naturally sup posed that to the victors belonged the spoils. Imagine then their utter surprise, mortification, and lasting in dignation, when they found William Walker, instead of giving them the fruits of victory, actually dividing the hest offices in the Government with their hereditary foes, whom they had paid him to subdue. While he did not, by this step, conciliate the CI tmorro party, as has been conclusively proved since, he disappointed and alienated the Democrats. Tue deep-rooted prejudices of years, whether religious or political, never have been, and never will be eradicat ed in a day, a year, or even in a generation. Tne man date or the policy of no man living can obliterate them. It is the slow moving finger a time alon combined with mental improvemeat, that can ever extinguish them. The he stility at present subsisting between the democratic and Chamorro party of Nicaragua is as pro found, as unrelenting, and imperishable as the heredi tary Vendetta of the Corsican. It required no profound knowledge of human nature to be aware of the fact that these conflicting portions, composed of material utterly discordant and antagonis tic, were far more substantial than the crystal fabrics of the morning frost. The Jew will sooner have dealing with the Samaritan than a Chamorrista with a democrat. We will next call the public attention to Gen. Corral's execution. For the sake of argument we will concede that he was guilty. Even admitting this, his execution was uncalled for, unwise, and manifestly impolitic. His conviction and incarceration, or his conviction and ban ishment from the country, was the dictate of sound dis cretion and sound common sense. The unanimous sen timent in Nicaragua, with all parties, was a deep and strong opposition to the execution of Corral. And yet, notwithstanding the earnest prayers of the entire clergy, regardless of the forcible petitions of the chiefs of both parties, uninfluenced by the agonised cries of the mother, wife, and children of General Corral, this would•be rnu dera Brutus ordered his execution, and thereby alien ated from him and his cause for ever the most opulent, mostpowerful families in the country. We say it with out the fair of contradiction, he is now most cordially deteieed by both the Chaosorristas and the masses of democrats. If his Government is popular, why is it that he has not one volunteer among the privates in the native army ? Why are his native troops all forcibly pressed at the point of the bayonet into the service ? We defy sophi.;try itself in answer to the question. Time song of " Toe Death of Corral "is the only ono upon which all parties now unite. The next reason we must urge for asserting that Walker is not entitled to be considered a man of even common sense, is his sending Parker H. French as minister to Washing ton city. Had Walker sent any native of the country, for instance Don Manuel Bermudez, or Dun Pedro Silva (an ac,:omplished and polished gentleman), or Padre the United States Government would have found itself placed in rather a delicate position. The best friends of Walker have characterised this act of his as disgustingly stupid. nut Walker's crowning folly undoubtedly was the idiotic seizure of the steamers of the Transit Company. The constant an 1 interrupted continuance of the Tran sit Company was his sole and only dependence for the reception of men, money, and munitions of war ; and yet, knowing this to be the fact—knowing that at the different ports of the Atlantic and Pacific there were hundreds, nay thousands, of deluded victims inno cently waiting to sacrifice themselves upon the altar of his unhallowed, insensate ambition, he wilfully and madly denied himself the aid which his necessities at that time so imperiously required. Had he blown up his powder magazine in Granada, or broken the locks from all his muskets, it would have been scarcely an act of more unequivocal insanity, and what augments the stupidity of this unparalleled exploit is the fast that the last steamer, before the seizure of the boats, brought no lees than 400 men to swell the list of dupes in Gra- nada, with the information that thousands more were anxiously waiting for a conveyance to arrive. And for what was this done ! To insure the payment of money which has not, and doubtless never will be paid. Could he not have seized the steamers eight or ten months later, as at the time he did I He would not then halo loot the battle of Santa Rotas with Schleoola. eveL! THY, CLIMATE OF DARIEN'. We have been favoured by Dr. M`Dernott with the following statement relative to the climate of Caledonia Bay, and that part of the Isthmus of Darien in its neigh• bourhood which has been explored by parties from her Majesty's ship Espiegle "During our stay in Caledonia Bay in January, Fe bruary, and March—extending over a period of nearly three months—l had sufficient opportunities of observing the nature of the climate as well as the state of the health of the ship's company. I had also constant in tercourse and conversation with the medical officers of the United States' sloop of war Cyane, and also of the French war steamer Chiwere, and her Majesty's survey ing schooner Scorpion, which were anchored in Caledo .nia Bay during the same period, and the crews of which amounted to 420 men. A party of 26 persons left the ship on the 24th of January, with Mr. Gisborne, and did not return for a period of 11 days, during which time they were exposed considerably i❑ wading rivers and occasionally to the sun, though generally protected by the shade of the foliage. Dr. Edwards, assistant-surgeon, who was in medical charge of the party, states that the weather was fine throughout and generally dry, with the exception of a few light morning and evening showers (average of thermometer 76 deg.) Every pre caution was taken for the general preservation of hea'th, and the party was protected at night by sleeping in well-built huts of palm leaves. The usual doses of qui nine wine were administered to each of the party daily. When they returned to the ship, and for same time: afterwards, I closely observe-1 the state of their health, and in no case could I detect any symptom of disease caused by their exposure; on the contrary, I think they were improved by the change. "A second party of 21 persons left the ship on the 24th of March and returned upon the 2d of April, and, although their duties were much more ardu , ,us, the exposure greater, having had to cut their way through the bush, no case of endemic or local disease resulted therefrom. "The gr,und being mountainous and devoid of marsh, and the rivers being all running streams, with rocky and sandy beds, having no alluvial deposit, I feel confident the causes of endemic fever do not exist—at all events, durino , the period of the year I have mentioned ; nor do I think, even at any time of the year, that the fever so fatal and injurious to health which prevails at Grey Town and Navy Bay can exist. "I made frequent inquiries among the natives, and I could not ascertain that any particular form of fever or disease prevailed among them, and, from their ap• pearance, I should say they are a very healthy race. "The temperature and climate of Caledonia are far superior to those of any part of the West Indies that I have visited ; a cool and steady breeze from the N.N.W. prevailed, with scarcely any variation, during our stay there. The heat does not possess that feeling of oppression experienced in the West India Islands, and "he nights are delightfully cool, , "Previou s t o the ships leaving I made particular inquiries of all the medical officers, and found that no case of disease had occurred which could be attributed to a climatorial cause. "Twenty sailors from the French war steamer Chi rabre were employed during the same period, and with the same result. The United States' sloop Cyane bad also a number of men employed surveying and digging wells, &c., and no endemic disease occurred. "From the nature of the duties of the crew of the Scorpion surveying schooner, the men had been con stantly exposed from morning till night daily in the har bour, but not a single case of fever occurred during a period of three months. From the time of our arrival in Caledonia Bay .it was observed by Dr. Edwards and myself that the men improved in health, and when we left the ship's company was in better condition than when we arrived on the coast of Darien." GRAVING-DOCK ACCOMMODATION AT LIVERPODL.— The graving -dock accommodation on the Mersey has been the subject of so much discussion that it may not be uninteresting to report that the new grav ing-docks, near Woodside, on the Cheshire shore, belonging to Mr. Laird, to Messrs. Clover and C 0.,• and to Messrs. Clayton and Co., are likely to sup ply all present iwants. On Monday a large screw steamer, the Ottawa, was undocked, and with the same tide the Charity, a vessel of the same dimensions (1,200 tons, and )270 feet long), was placed upon the blocks just vacated by the Ottawa. Mr. Laird's grai irg-dock No. 2, capable of taking in vessels larger than the Himalaya, will be opened within a week, and Nos. 3 and 4 graving -docks iwithin a month. No. 3 is 420 feet long and 85 feet entrance ; and No. 4, 450 feet long and 87 entrance, nearly 100 feet longer and 15 feet I Wider than tho Dada. IA W MUT rJaIGENCIE—Sept. 3. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Comrnid,i, , ner Holroyci.) IN RE CHARLES DOUGLAS HOPE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Ultarlee Briant and lhomas Banks, the former a workman, and the latter a labourer, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having plundered a barge lying in the river of 7',lb. of leaf tobacco. R. F. Thomas, inspector of a division of the Thames Police, said—About nine o'clock last night I was in my galley off the Custom-house stairs, when I observed the prisoner Banks row his boat alongside a barge called the Lord Clarendon, belonging to Mr. William Alfred Joyce, which was made fast to a hulk belonging to the Thames Navigatio❑ Company. I ordered my men to lie upon their oars for a few seconds, when I heard a whistle, immediately upon the sound of which the pri soner Briant jumped into Ba ks's boat, and they both pulled as bard as they could towards the Custom-house Lower stairs. I chased them, and they were both cap tured almost immediately they reached the shore, J. Lewis, Thames police-officer, No. 74, said he was in the galley with the last witness, and that as soon a , Briant landed he seized him, and on searching him found the 71lbs. of leaf tobacco produced concealed betwee❑ Lis shiri . and waistcoat. . Dell, [another constable, No. 12, corroborated the evidence of the foregoing witnesses. Banks, in answer to the charge, said be knew nothing whatever of the other witness, whom be conveyed in his boat as a fare. Bn . in ant, the most impudent manner, denied baying had the tobacco at all in his possession. The pr:smers were remanded. Jas. _Keating, a man of about 35 years of age, dressed like a sailor, was charged with being concerned in steal ing an oil-skin cape and reefing jacket belonging to a mariner named Jas. Fraser, a native of Sunderland. Tne prosecutor having been sworn, said—l came from Ramsgate yesterday afternoon, and on my arrival at London-bridge proceeded with several other passen gers to an hotel at the corner of Fish-street-hill, for this purpose of partaking of some refreshment. I placed my oil-skin cape and jacket by my side, and whilst engaged in conversation with my friends, the prisoner asked a man who was standing by me if he would buy a Russian pipe. I asked him to let me see the pipe, and upon looking at it I said it was not a Russian pipe. He asked Si. for it. I told him that it was only worth 2-1., and offered him that sum for it. He then said he could speak the Russian language, and took a cross from his neck which he said was a Russian coin. During the conversation a companion of the prisoner stole my cape and jacket, and got clear off with them, and the prisoner tried to make his escape, but I stopped him, and gave him into custody. Moses Levi, an itinerant vendor of jewellery, corro borated the evidence of the last witness. T. Beadle, constable No. 535, said the prosecutor gave the prisoner into my custody yesterday afternoon for "cohabiting" with another loan who stole his cape and jacket. The prisoner gave a false address. I found upon him a watch, which I believe to be a " duffer." Prisoner—lt's no duffer. I bought it at Bristol last week for 355. Tne Lord Mayor—l should be very sorry to value the watch as the prosecutor did the prisoner's pipe, but it certainly looks to me like one of the duffer watches which are sometimes found in the possession of persons who are brought to this court. (To Partridge, the gaoler)— Look at the watch, and tell me what you think of it. Partridge—lt's not worth a shilling, my lord. It's a regular duffer. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor (to the prisoner) --What are you ? Prisoner—l have been one of the Army Working Corps, and I have just returned from the Crimea. Prosecutor—My Lord, when the prisoner addressed me he said he could talk the Russian language, but what he spoke to me was between an Irish Gaelic and a Scotch Gaelic. (Laughter.) I have been a great deal in Russia myself, and tandititand the language. The Lord . Mayor—l am sorry to say that Ido not. He aprs r 3, to have tried to impose upon you, and to have caught"n Tartar !! The prisoner, _who failed to give a satisfactory account of himself, was remanded. GUILDHALL.—Mr. Gen. Middleton, secretary to the sSociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attended to day before Sir P. Laurie, to state that in consequence of the charges that had been made against some of the officers of the society, in the course of the investigation which took place at the court yesterday, he had deemed it to be his duty to suspend four of Oen until the meeting of the committee, when the matter would be thor seghly invest-gated. Mrs. Jones, the wife of a soldier, who last week ap pealed to the benevolence of the sitting magistrate, Al derman Finnis, to assist her in completing the amount of 20/. in order to purchase her husband's di charge, ap peered before Alderman Lawrence under the following circumstances : Mr. Martin, the chief clerk, informed the worthy alderman that this poor woman hail been for a long time working hard and saving her money to effect tie put-- chase of her husband's discharge from the 281,11 Regiment of Foot, and succeeded in accumulating the sum of 18/. 10 , . She then found herself unable to complete the other 305., and applied to Alderman Finnis for assist ance. Alderman Finnis gave her the 30s. out of the funds of the poor-box, and last Saturday took the 201 to the Isle of Wight for the purpose of purchasing the man's discharge. Her case was reported in the news papers, and a benevolent gentleman sent through the proprietors of the Times the sum of 21., which she had duly received. She now attended for the purpose of re funding to the poor-box the money that Alderman Finnis had given her, and it would rest with him (Alderman Lawrence) whether it would be accepted from her. Alderman Lawrence said he certainly would not take it from her. Mr. Martin said the money would be most serviceable to her, for, to make up the 181., she had borrowed 51. from a loan society, which she was now repaying by weekly instalments, and it would no doubt be a great a-sistane,e to her. Alderman Lawr nce expressed the gratification he felt in assisting so deserving an object. Mrs. Jones tendered her grateful thanks to the worthy Alderman for his kindness, and withdrew. Mr. Martin said he had received a letter from Alder man Finnis containing Mrs. Jones's papers, and stating that lie paid the 20/., and that her husband would re ceive his discharge in a few days. Mrs. Su,anna Chipp applied to Sir Chapman Mar shall for his advice and assistance. She said her hus band bad been captain of the Ide, belonging to Messrs. Linklater and Green, who failed some short time since, and on the 28th of June last be sailed from Jamaica for Liverpool in perfect health. Yesterday she got a tele graphic message from Queenstown stating that her hus band had died on the pas-age home, leaving her a widow with two children—one 15 months, and the other 5 weeks old. To-day she went to the Royal British Bank, aed drew out 3201. which she had deposited there in December last. It was the amount of a bequest she had received on the death of her father, and it was all she had in the world to support herself and her children. One of her brothers who was with her, and who has 300/. similarly deposited there, told the manager of the circumstances of her misfortune, and that she wished to deposit the money for safety. The man ager assured her it would be perfecty safe, and advised her to leave it. She had received the money in two notes, one for 300/. and one for 20., but upon that assurance she gave them up and re ceived the usual deposit note about twelve o'clock. They left the bank, but from a rumour they heard they returned in about a quarter of an hour, and their asto nishment was extreme when they found the door closed, and a placard on it stating that the bank had "suspended payment during negotiations." She was now utterly ruined, havin g l os t her husband, and, with the money, every other means of support. Sir Chapman Marshall, after consulting with Mr. Martin, the ehief clerk, said he did not know that he could interfere, but as it was a case of the greatest hard ship he would send Mr. Roe, the officer of the court, with them to the bank. Mrs. Chien said she did not think it would be of any use, for there, was a crowd round the door knocking and ringing, but no answer was given to them. Sir Chapman Marshall said that if anybody could get in Mr. Roe could, and they had better go with him. They accerdingly accompanied him, and on their return, Mr. Roe stated that he had been admitted to the bank, and had seen a clerk who took the deposit note to the directors who were then sitting, and laid the applicant's ease before them. When he returned he said the direc t•trs dare not pay the money now, but they had nodbubt but that ely would be paid is full. With this assurance the poor widow was obl ged to be satisfied for the present, and having thanked the court for the trouble they had taken in her affairs, she retired with her brother scarcely able to support herself under this. series of misfortunes. Joshua Broughton, a young man of gentlemanly ap pearance and address, was placed at the bar before Aid. Lawrence, charged with taking spirits into Whitecross street prison. Ald. Lawrence said the prisoner had acted very im properly, but as he might not be aware of the rules of the prison he would fine him in the mitigated penalty of 20" or gem clays' imprisonment.

COUNTY COURT BUSINESS AT LIVERPOOL.—From so c i official docum en t it appears t h at l ast year the sums su ed for in the Liverpool County Court amounted to no less than 47,4451.—the largest amount at any County Court. Toe costs were about one-tenth of the debts. OMISSION IN THE COUNTY COURTS ACT.—In the nev i i, County Cou r t s A c t, w hi c h w ill take effect on the first of next month, there is an omission with regard to the salaries of two of the judges in the schedule. There letb blank as to the amount, and they will have to wait until the amended act is amended. The 30th section i s con' i.idered by the profession an "obnoxious clause," as 3 takes away the concurrent jurisdiction of the superior courts where parties reside in the country. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—rroIIoway's Ointment and Pint have again cured an ulcerated leg. Charles Martin, of Winchester, was for 16 years afflicted with an ulcerated leg ; there were thirteen wounds in it of an alarming c% aracter, and he tried every remedy that professional skill could devise, which, however, only made bira wore, and with disease and suffering became a mere skeleton. About ten months ago he commenced using , Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and these wonderfulre medies, in twelve weeks, left him without a wound or I,lemisb, enjoying sound and robust health.—Sold by all medicine vendors throughout the world at Professor Holloway's Establishments, 244, Strand, London, and 80, Maiden-lane, Ne w Y or k ;b y A.
