The very' same plan had been chalked out in 1812413(11y ).; the Archbishop of Armagh, Dr. Elrington, and Nle o e ern ~1 1 Scriptures were not withheld or excluded from 001, but selections from Scripture were used, and those th..:Ations consisted chiefly of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of ei;Altostles ; his belief was that instead of the religious instrue eho"r of the pupils being neglected by this means, they were c o 2enhiy instructed in the first principles of religion.

He mot alto 131 25 , -105 agree with the Hon. Member in his statement that there were no Protestants in these schools ; he believed the Protestants had a very fair proportion to the lioman Catholics. Under these circumstances, he did believe that the National School formed +he best sy , tern of education that could be devised fur Ire. land.— e Hear, hear ) Sir ‘v. SOvi ERVILLE was delighted to have had the op portunity of hearing the speech which Oa:: ju=t fall•n from tin) lips of the Nolde Lord opposite.—( Hear, hear.) What was meant by raising the Catholics of Ireland from their present state of degradatit:n, was, really, the reduction of the Catholics to their toimer dc•gra.ted state, during which it was a crime to give the Catholics any education at all. Alr..Sergeant JACKSON defended the character of the Kildare-street Society, and referred to the Reports of several Commissions, to show that the Society had faith.ully discharged its trust. Lord ELIOT said his Learned Friend had misunderstood him, if he supposed that he meant to depreciate the services of the clergy of the Protestant Church. Mr. LABOUCHERE said he had an anxious hope that the :Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland, had been a more faithful expositor of the views of her 'Majesty's Government than the Solicitor-General. He thought the speech of the Noble Lord was equally creditable to his head and to his heart. —( Hear, hear,) it was clear that he ht the plan es tabished by the late Government worked beneficially. He tru,ted every Aleniber en his sido of the Hone would sup port the Government in every liberal system of education. Lord STANLEY said her Maji - sty'o Government had care fully and deliberately considered the question, and the re sult of that consideration was their determination to support the present system of education in Ireland, believing it tole best adapted to give spiritual edueation to the great mass of the population of that country.— ( Hear, hear.). lie trusted the Committee would not be divkied on this vote. could say that he had not changed his opinion, and he should therefore give the vote his cordial assent. Alr. WYSE thought the arguments of the Solicitor-General for Ireland were more worthy his talents as a lawyer, than his character as a statesman. The objection to the present system of education seemed to be that the Scriptur es were not read in the scho.,ls, but the fact was that the Scriptures were read, and a cheap edition had been published under the patronage of the heads of school establishments. _ Lord SANDON had opposed this measure from its very commencement, because he did not think that the attempt to bring together people of such different views as these schools brought together could be attended with happy results. This system had, however, gone on for a considerable time, and had given pretty general satisfaction ; at tie same time he thought it would be advisable to allow two grants ; one for the national schools and the other for the Protestants ; this he believed had been the case in England, where one grant was given fur the national schools and the other for the British and Foreign School Society. which latter he considered to answer to the national schools in Ireland. Mr. J. O'CONNELL complained of an expression of the Learned Solicitor-General for Ireland in speaking of Mr. Blake, "a Roman Catholic, but a highly respectable gentleman." Sergeant JACKS( tN explained. Air. WA ;iD, alluding to the Right Hon. Baronet, the Mem ber for the University of Oxford, said that he had skulked away. Lord STANLEY rose to order. He thought the Hon. Gentlem,n must himself be sensible that he had used an im proper expression. Alr. WARD said, if the words were offensive, he would substitute the words " walked out of the House." Lord CLEMENTS said, the speech of the Learned So licitor-General would txcite great dissaisf action in Ireland. He looked upon the grant as one of thegreatest possible benefits to Ireland. Sergeant MURPHY supported the vote. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared, fl For the vote .: Aga.nst it The announcement of the numbers was received with loud elv-ering. On our admission into the gallery we found Air. LE FROY, on has legs, stating that he had never given a vote with more satisfaction in his life. He however must say that he thought the 'course that had been pursued by the other side a nn.st unworthy one. Air. WA RD said his attempt had ended just as he ex pected.--( Hear.) PLUMPTRE said he had voted in favour of the grant, because he was determined not to be forced by the attempt of the Hon. Member for Sheffield; he, however, begged to give him notice that he should resist the grant on the bringing 112 of the Report.—( Great cheering.) The Chairman thin reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Moitday, as we understood. PARISH CONSTABLES BILL. On the order of the day being read for the reception of the Report on the Parish Constables Bill, Mr. PAKINGTON hoped that the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Home Department would not press the con sideration of the Report that night. Sir JAMES GRAHAM felt it to be his duty to press the consideration of the Report, but if the Hon. Gentleman wished a discussion upon the Bill, he would mute's day for the third reading; to sirt the convenience of the Hon. Member. Mr. CIIILDERS expressed his concurrence in the sugges tion of the Hon. Member for Droitwich.

IRELAND. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF MEATH. Disimits, Jour 13.—With deep regret I have to announce the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Dickenson, Lord Bishop of :death, which took place yesterday, at the See Home, Ard bracean, after a few days' illness of typhus fever. Dr. Dicken son had been the rector of the parish of St. Anne, in this city, and ckaplain to the Archbishop of Dublin. His elevation to the bi-hoprie of Meath, last year, was one of the latest ap pointment& of Lord Fortescue, who, in that instance, was ac• tuated by the motive which influenced all his church appoint ments, namely, the yromotion of a zeatous, learned, and exem plary clergyman ; and that Ilr. Dickenson deserved this cha racter is admitted by all parties here. Two of the candidates named for the vacant see are Arch deacon Torrent, brother of the Judge, and the Rev. Robert Daly, the Dean of St. Patrick (according to the late decision of the Judge of the Prerogative Court, aga'nst which, however, these is an appeal), but many other candidates will, no doubt, soon be in the field. _ _ . The Kerry Post contains the following : " KILLAItNEY.—The lion. William Browne, M.P., has transmitted to Christopher (allwcy. Esq., the sum of one hundred pounds, to be distributed to the poor of Killarney. This handsome donation is peculiarly seasonable at the present moment, when the distress of the poorer classes had neatly reached its height, and is in strict character with the munificent charities of his noble brother, the Earl of Ken more, at whose gates hundreds of poor families continue to be supplied daily with food since the commencement of the present season of distress." We are happy (says the Londonderry Journal) to say that the only celebration of this cnnivcrsary, which took place this morning, was by a band of abut thirty or forty persons, who at about twelve o'clock, fired six or seven shots from a small brass cannon ; but their number was too insignificant to attract the notice of the police, who were in readiness to act, had their services been required. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE HORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY• TIMES.—The activity that has prevailed at the Custom house ever since the new tariff has come into operation is con sidered to be without precedent, the total amount of entries for import on Monday having been 3,036, on Tuesday 2,595, and on Wednesday (yesterday) 2,001 ; while the usual average of 'a day's entries is only from 1,100 to 1,200. Nor do these numbers alone show the whole increase, for not only is the number of entries great beyond precedent, but the quantity of goods, which the chief part of the entries represents, is more than usually large, on account of the reduction• of the dutiss. So large in particular have been the quantities of cabinet woods and dye-stuffs entered for home consumption, that there is every reason to hope that at least two important kinds of British manufacture will receive a material impulse. CHRONICLE.—We perceive that Mr. Goulburn has made signals of land for the bona jidc holders to the repudiated Ex chequer hills, although the reply he made to Mr. Grimsditch is of a very reserved description. The Commissioners, it seems, have examined 130 witnesses, and their labours are drawing to a close. This is somsthing to maintain hope, but it is far from satisfactory, and we trust that the Noble and Learned Lord at the head of the Commission will put an end to apprehensions of those concerned by intimating that be has completed his arduous labours. The public ex;sects that Parliament will give a decision on the Report of the Commis sion before the prorogation, and great injustice will be inflicted on the individual holders of the impounded Exchequer bills if they be kept in suspense until February, 1843. We do not believe that the independent Members of the House of Commons will permit such a course of conduct, even if the Government should feel indisposed to act without some pres sure. Seeing that. the claims involved amount to 400,0001., we can easily imagine that Mr. Goulburn would not be sorry to allow them to remain over until a more convenient season. We never yet heard of a Chancellor of the Exchequer who did not readily show his back to claimants on the public purse. The present holder of the strings is an old hand at these mat ters, and can put off his friends quite as coolly as his oppo nents in such cases. He can afford, too, to show indifference, as his party is so strong ; but this circumstance should make the cause of the bona fide holders of the repudiated Exche quer bills the more es rtain of support by these Honourable Members who are desirous to act with justice, and to obtain redress for these whose interests ate solely in their hands. DEATH of the DUKE of ORLEANS, In addition to the particulars of the melancholy death of the Duke of Orleans on Wednesday morning, which appeared in yesterday's Sun, we are enabled to publish the following official and authentic account up to a lat.. hour on Wednesday night : "PARIS, WEDNESDAY, 9 P.M. " The official account I üblishei by the Government is as follows : " A dreadful disaSter has fallen upon the Kin g , the R o yal family, and France. The Prince Royal is dead This morning at half-past ten, the Duke of Orleans went to Neuilly, to take leave of the Royal fatuity, intending to set off in the evening for the camp of bt. Oaten A short distance from Neuilly the herses ran away. The Prince leaped out of the carriae. He was taken up senseless. One moment there we ,-e hops of saving him, but the evil was beyond all earthy, remedies. At half past four, after having received the succours of religion, the Prince breathed his last, surrounded by the King, Queen, and Royal family, whose grief no words can express."' The following is a translation of the telegraphic de spatch whichlas been addressed by the Minister Of the Interior to the Prefects of the several departments throughout France " THE 31INISTER OF THE INTERIOR TO THE PREFECTS. " The Prince Royal has had a severe fall froM Ins carriage ; he die(l.from the effects thereof at half-past four this morning. The King has borne this severe blow with his customary firmness. His illajesty is iv good health. What a loss for Frawe." (From the Moniteur Parisien.) A frightful catastrophe—a misfortune which all France /ill deplore—has to-day happened. At noon his Royal highness Monseigneur le Dec d'Orleans, who was to have started this evening for St. Oiuer, went to NeuiUy to take leave of his august father. At the end of the Chemin de la Revolt° the horses of his carriage ran away. The ,Prince leaped from the door, and received a most fearful fall. He was raised from the ground in a state of perfect unconsciousness, and was borne into a neighbouring house. Medical aid was given —a vein was opened— leeches were applied—but all was in vain. At four o'clock the Prince was dead. The King, who was to preside at a Cabinet Council in Paris, had quitted Neuilly. He arrived at the spot where the accident occurred when the Prince was being raised. His Majesty was accompanied by the Qaeen and Madame Adelaide. One may well imagine how heart-ren ling a scene that melancholy reucontre occa sioned. _ _ _ M. Le Baron Fain left immediately to announce to the Ministers assembled at the Tuileries, the event which had (Hayed the arrival of the King. The Ministers immediately started for the purpose of being near his Majesty. The body of the Due d'Orleans was placed on a litter and carried by soldiers to the chapel of the Chateau of Neuilly. The King, the Queen, Madame Adelaide, and M. to Due d'Autnale followed the funeral cortege on foot, attended by a battalion of the 17th Light Regiment. Their duty drew tears from tine soldiery. Behind the litter, mingling indiserimininately with the members of the. Royal Family, followed the Ministers, officers of every grade, and citizens of every class, who had collec ted on the first tidings of the catastrophe. several clergymen, who also followed the cortege, re peated prayers for the Royal dead. The Prince was alone in the carriage. The carriage, called a demi Dumont, carried a tambour in front, which came off and struck against the horses. The startled animals ran away, and the postilion succeeded in stopping them when they had run about forty paeos; but the Prince had alriady fallen. The death of the Prince is attributed to the disloca tion of the iorsal spine. The King gave orders to General Rumig,ny to depart fog• Ploaibieres immediately, where the Duchess of Or• leans then was. This evening the theatres are closed. (From the Gazette de France of Wednesday.) This forenoon, at half-past twelve. the Due d'Orleans, ho was about to set off for Plombieres, where the Duchess is staying at present, was returning from Neuilly after having taken leave of his family, when in the centre of the Chemin de la Revolte, a short distance from the Porte Maillot, the horses ran away in spite of the efforts of the postilion, and there was every reason to fear that the carriage would be overturned on the slope at the side of the road. At this moment the Duke, to avoid the danger, leaped from the carriage ; but unfortunately his spurs, or, as spine say, his sword, caught his travelling cloak. This accident caused him to fall, and the Prince received some contusions on the temple and the wrist. A celebral con gestion was occasioned by the shock. and was succeeded by a suffusion on the brain, Having 'fainted in the road, his Royal H i g hness was removed It.o the nearest house, occupied by a grocer, and 'assistance speedily arrived from the Tuileries. Bleeding was resorted to almost immediately, but the Prince did not recover his consciousness. Dr. Baumy, happening to be on the spot, gave every assistance to Dr. Pasquier, his Royal Highness's physician, who had come from Paris. Their Majesties and the Due d'Aumale arrived from Neuiliy and Courbevoie as quickly as possible. A clergyman of St. Phillipe du. Roule, and the cure of Neuilly were called in ; but could only administer ex treme unction. The Prince died at three o'clock, at the house to which he had been carried, No. 4, in the Chemin de la Revolte. The body was removed to the Chateau de Neuilly, and placed in the chapel, All the Ministers repaired to Neuilly, as well as Merechal Gerard and General Pajol. A Council of Ministers was held. The Duc d'Aumale, who was at Courbevoie, as soon as he heard of the accident that had happened, set off in a hired cabriolet. Thio'carriage broke down on the road, and the Prince was obliged to continue his route on foot to see his dead or dying brother. His Royal Highness proceeded to Nancy, and will go to Plombieres, where the Duchess d'Orleans is staying. The late Prince had testified the greatest p'easure at his intended voyage, for which great preparatians had been made in the various towns through which he was to pass. He was to have taken the command of a camp of 40,000 men, but who can calbulate on the morrow. (From the Messayer of Wednesday night.) A terrible misfortune has stricken the King and Royal Family of France. The Prince Royal is dead. This morning he went to Neuilly, to bid the King farewell about half after ten o'clock, intending to sta rt some hours afterwards for St. Omer. At a little distance from Neuilly his horses ran away, and he leaped out of the carriage, and when raised from the ground was uncon scious. At first a hope of saving him was entertained, but the injury was beyond medical aid. At half-past four, after having received the consolations of religion, he breathed his last sigh, surrounded by the King, Queen, and Royal Family, whose grief no language can express. PAins, JULY 13, QUARTER PAST FOUR, P.M.—The greatest consternation reigned this afternoon at the Bourse. About one o'clock the first news of the acci dent arrived, and from that hour to the close of busi ness at • half-past three, it was quite a panic. The most contradictory accountseof the event were. current, but at four o'clock a national guard of the cavalry came galloping to the Exchange from Neuilly, and brought an account of the state of the Royal Duke up to three o'clock.. According to this version his Royal Highness had lost his senses for the second time. The most authentic account is, that at half past twelve the Duke of Orleans was returning from Villiers in a cabriolet ; and that, on his ar rival at Sablonville; he had got into his caleche. The King, with his suite, was in that neighbourhood, On his way to Paris, to preside at a Cabinet Council. On leaving Sablonville, near the Barriere do I'Etoile, the horses of the caleche took fright, and his Royal High ness , jumping out of his carriage, was pitched on his head, falling on one of the wheels. He had some revere bruises on the forehead, and shortly afterwards became senseless. Ile was carried into a house, the King being present at the time, having alighted from his carriage, and a M. Duval, a surgeon, bled him. After some minutes his Royal Highness came to himself, and an hour afterwards was removed to the Chateau of Neuilly. A courier was suit off immediately to Marshal Soult, the President of the Council, to countermand the Cabi net meeting. The King rewarded liberally on the spot persons who had assisted his son. The fluctuations in the funds were very great and rapid. The Threes, betbre the fall, were at 79E 70c. The first sale was at a decline. of 20c., and then they were down to 79. At the Parquet the panic was greater than amongst the Cuulissiers. The Threes fell to 78f. ' and to 77f. 90e. in two hours, and in ten minutes 79f. and 78f. were done without any intermediate quotation. They left off at 781. 600. the end of the month, and 781. 60c. for cash. The Fives followed the same fluctua tions, and left off, at 119 f. 55c. for the account, and 119' . . 50e. for cash. The following despatch was stuck ep at the Bourse by M. Baudesson de Richbourg, the I Commissary : " The Duke of Orleans has just been thrown from a carriage. The acciden t is not serious, and the state of the Prince inspires no uneasiness. The Minister of Finence gives this information to the Commissary of the Bourse in order to meet the reports that may be spread on the subject."

The death of this univer sally-beloved Prince was .regarded as a national cala mity. The streets of Paris were crowded, and grief was painted in every face. The theatres were closed. The Count de Paris is the heir to the Freneia throne. It would be idle now to speculate on the probabilities of a long Regency, and in whose hands, after the decease of the present King, whom God lung preserve for the peace of the world. Sir Rober' and Lady Peel left Whitehall-gardens yosterdly; and proceeded by the nine o'clock train of the Birmingham Railroad to their seat, Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. The Right lion.

GLOBE.—Were. we to transfer to our columns the tirades of abuse which the Tories, by their press, metropolitan and provincial, direct against Sir Robert reel ana the principal Members and measures of his Government, but little space would be left us for matters of fact, or opinions upon other subjects. Still, it is not unimportant, in a public point of view, to place on record the estimation in which the Go vernment is held by its own party. Opinions of de clared opponents may be suspected of prejudice. It may be objected to the journals of Opposition, that their endeavours to damage the Government by de preciating its Chief and denouncinF his policy, are all in the regular course of party warfare—the repetition of what is invariably urged against every Government by its opponents. But no such objections can be urged against the organs of the party with which the Go vernment is Identified---by which it was raised to power, for the purpose of carrying out certain prin ciples to which it was considered pledged to the country ; and on the, faith o which pledg,te it was enabled to supplant its predecessors. Nor will it serve the purpose of the very few thick-and-thin sup porters of the GoiTrnment to allege that the number of the Tory journals which assail Sir Robert Peel and arraign his policy, are few. 'The contrary is the fact. The greater portion of the Metropo litan Conservative Press has Inveighed with bitter- ness against the measures of the Government, as at variance no less with public opinion and the public weal, than they are with the implied, or expressed terms on which it was raised to power. Nor can it he pretended that the public Press does not express the opinions and feelings of the public. The charac ter, and consequently the success, of every public journal necessarily rests on public confidence, Those who read it confide in it, either as faithfully reflect ing the opinions they have already formed, or as the faithful record of facts and the fair and candid expo nent of principles, by which they may form a judg ment of the policy of the Government to which has been confided the affairs of the country. If, then, the Conservative Press is found almost universally denouncing a Government professedly Conservative— if its measures be therein repudiated, as founded alike in mistaken notions of what is.requireel for the public weal, and in a' policy opposite to that which those very statesmen advocated when candidates for office, this disruption of the ties which are essential to union between the Ministry and that party in the nation which constituted it a Government cannot fail to be a source of weakness, and finally of ruin. Whether the Government be pursuing a wise or unwise course of policy, is not now the question in issue. The opi nion formed of its measures by the great body of the community may be right or wrong ; but as every Government in this country must depend on public opinion for support, if that support be withdrawn, it falls, in obedience to the laws of the system of which it is a party and to which it must be obedient. STANDAnD.—in the House of Lords, Lord Ashley's Bill was read a second time, after a long debate, in which the various modifications of the mea sure were canvassed, but its principle resisted by none except Lord Radnor and the Marquis of Londonderry. Lord Radnor, wisely assuming that children of the most tender age are free agents, objected to interfere with an unbounded liberty on their part. Lord Londonderry scarcely offered any reasons for his opposition. Lord Wharncliffe, while voting for the. Bill as altered, 'complained that the House of Commons had carried the measure through from an im pulse of humanity It would be waste of time to reply to Lord Radnor's idle babble about the free agency of infants apprenticed to the mine at the age of five, six, seven, and eight years • but we would ask his Lordship where, among the labouring classes, has there existed any free agency since thepass ing of his loved New Poor-law? What labourer is there that can choose his work or his employer, or make terms with those for whom he works ? The work house-test puts an €nd to all free agency. Lord Wharncliffe 's complaint of too ready a submis sion to humanity on the part of the House of Com. mons, is a complaint to which that House has not often, laid itself open, and therefore it may be the more easily submitted to. We think, however, that Lord Wharncliffe has certainly some reason to corns! plain ; he is an extensive coal-owner, and it is no doubt an annoyance to him to see the mill-owners of the House of Commons indulging in humanity at his expense. The mill-owners are in the House of Commons, the coal-owners in the House of Lords— facts which may account for the oscillations of hu manity between the two assemblies, as factories or mines may happen to be the subject of consideration. It is a humiliating exhibition ; but humanity will be the gainer in the end by the alternations in its favour. • FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—On the afternoon of Tues day last, as Captain Ogilvie and Lieutenant de Winton, of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, stationed at Windsor, were proceeding in a single horse chaise from the Cavalry Barracks to the Slough station, the horse, which was an exceedingly high-spirited and valuable animal, took fright, just after pass ing through the turnpike-gate between Eton and Slough, and set off at a tremendous pace. Lieutenant de Winton, who was driving. was thrown out, and Captain Ogilvie being thus left in the chaise alone, jumped into the road, neither of them, fortunately, sustaining the least injury. The horse, finding himself under no control, turned rour.ci just at the foot of Arbour-hill, and galloped back at the rate of twenty miles an hour towards Windsor. Two men, who were stand ing at the turnpike, seeing the horse returning at full speed with an empty gig, immediately closed the gate just before the horn' came up, with the intention of preventing further mis chief. The horse, however, perceiving this " move," then swerved a little to the right, and leaped over the fence, five feet in between the toll-house and the gate-post. Such was the height the horse leaped that the end of the shaft struck the arge lamp, shivering it to atoms, which was fixed against the house at least twelve feet above the road. The horse got coin p'etely through the erection, composed of strong timbers and crow-bars, at the side of the gate, clearing himself, from the force with which he was proceeding, completely from, the chaise, which was It ft on the other side broken, as may be sup. c e t4 r:t,tety into vic eei. aticl a I.,ericrs.: wrecl;.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SO CIETY. ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. Baisron, JU LY 14.—Yesterday, at 6 o'clock, the Council din ner, of which the anticipated grandeur had been so long the subject of conversation, took place at the Victoria Rooms, and upwards of 500 noolemen, gentlemen, and farmers sat down at the ta bles, which were covered with dishes principally of cold meats, and tureens of turtle, which was at a temperature something about the atmospheric heat of a summer day. The large room in which the dinner took place is a vety splendid apartment, and capable of containing a much larger company than was as sembled yesterday. At the cross table was seated the Presi dent of the Society, Mr. Handley, who acted as Chairman, supported by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Dukes of Beaufort and Richmond, the Marquises of Dow nshire and Worcester, the American Minister, (the Hon. E. Eve rett), Lords Somers, Spencer, Ilchester, Beauclerk, the Dean of Bristol, Dr. Lamb, the Mayor of Bristol, &c. ; and amongst tile guests at the other taales were a great number of the no bility and gentry whose names have already been given in connection with the meeting of the Society,and a vast number of persons of rank and intluenc.:. The whole was well ar ranged and conducted, and considering the great number of persons to be accommodated, there was perhaps not much to be complains d of. 'I he cloth being removed, Thu CHAIRMAN, Mr. Handley, President of the Society. rose and proposed the " Health of her Ilaje,ty," which was drunk vtiih great enthusiasm. The next toast was the " Healths of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, his Royal Highness Plince Albert, Albert Prince of Waies, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and the rest of the Royal Family." His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE returned thanks. Atter other toasts the CHAIRMAN gave the " Health of the Hon. Edward Everett, Honorary Member of the Royal Agri cultural Society." _ Mr. EVERETT, on rising, was received with reiterated accla mations. tie said-1 came here with no other expectation or purpose than that of being a gratified and instructed specta tor. I find myself by the liberality of the Council elected to the distinguished honour of being permitted to associate with you as a brother member, an honour fur which I can assure yon I feet the deepest gratitude. lam aware that I do not appear betel e you this nay in an official capacity, but I feel that this honour has been conferred upon me as the representative of my native country, and I have great pleasure in acknowledg ing, on behalf of my Government, th is tribute of your good feeling towards my country.—( Cheers. ) if I may he per mitted to use the words of his Royal Highness, I would say, that though I cannot boast of being a practical farmer, I have in my native land been ever a diligent observer of the science of agriculture, and have always been most anxious to promote its prosperity.—( Cheers.) When I had the honour to be elected, some years since, by the voice of my fellow citizens, to the office of Chief Magistrate of the State of Mas saehusetts, it fell to my fortune to have to contribute to a re port on the agricultural state of that portion of the United States. That report, I understand, has reached this country, and the Duke of Richrsland has greatly gratified me by saying that he has read with pleasure some of the documents referred to. 1 thank you most cordially for this friendly and cordial reception. It is with no ordinary emotions that, though in a foreign country, I find myself able to speak its language, and that it meets with a response like this from those whom I have the honour now to address. But it is not merely in language that the two ;countries agree ; many of our fathers emigrated from these parts, and brought with them the then modes of agriculture, which have gone on gradually progressing, and even our domestic anima's bear traces of a common origin, and to the eye of the farmer the dumb animals; though they cannot speak, proclaim that they also came from Old England. —( Great cheering.) What au insensible clod of the valley should I be if I was not touched by that which is proclaimed to me by the dumb animals themselves !—(Cheers.) lam afraid I have already taken up too much of your time, and I will now only detain you while I again express my acknowledgments for the great huuour done me by this distinguished Association, and I big to offer my best wishes for its continued prosperity, and that of the agriculture of Great Britain generally. The award of the prizes to the successful competitors in the cattle show was then read by his Grace the Duke of Richmond, who stood up upon his chair, and exerted himself with great energy to make his voice heard distinctly all over the room, a task of no little difficulty from its great extent.

The Rev. Mr. SMYTHIES returned thanks in a long and able speech. he Duke of RICHMOND then resumed the reading of the prizes, and having concluded, said—l have done all the duty I professed to do; I feel I have done it inadequately, but at all events I have exerted my voice to the utmost, and it is not my fault if I have not made you hear. The CHAIRMAN—The Duke of Richmond fancies he has finished his task, but he will find out that we have not yet done with him. My duty now is to propose to you the healths of the " Successful Candidates for Sheep and and though I class the two together, I hope you will not imagine that there is mach cry and little wool.—(Cheers and laughter. ) Mr. BERNARD, M.P., returned thank;, and gave " The Healths of Professor Bucklaud and the other learned members of tie Association." BeCKLAND acknowledged the compliment. The Duke of CA AI B IDG E proposed "Prosperity to the Agricultural Society of England." The Duke of RICHMOND then, in a highly 'complimentary speech, proposed the health of Mr. H. Handley, the Presi dent for the current year. Mr. HANDLES returned thanks in an eloquent address. At the close of Mr. Handley's address his,itoyal Highness quitted the room amidst loud cheers, and was followed by the rest of the company. It was about nine o'oluck when the proceedings terminated. The show of cattle was more than an average one in num bers and quality; the cart-stallions and bulls were pat Ocularly fine. It was attended, the whole of this 'naming, by an inees. sand flow of visitors, amongst whom were many ladies. It is said upwards of 60,000 per. , Ams have already visited the show yards. _ . _ . _ _ _ - The Duke of Cambridge, after leaving - the show-yard, walked to the Philosophical Institution, accompanied by the Dukes of Richmond and Beaufort, Sir. W. Miles, M.P., &c. Having viewed the museum, &c., of the Institution, his Royal High ness proceeded to the Great Western Steam Company's yard to view the new iron ship the Great Britain, which may be justly styled one or the wonders of the world. His Royal highness was received at the yard by Mr. G. W. Franklyn, the Mayor ; the High Sheriff, Captain Claxton, 11. N., and Mr. Guppy, the managing Directors ; Lieutenant Hosken, R.N., the com mander of the Great Western, &c. The Duke then pro ceeded to view the ship, of which the following description was given his Royal Highness :—Her exireme length is 325 feet, her width across the beam 51 feet, depth 33 feet, her burden 3,600 tons register, 1,000 horse power, six masts, with excel lent. sleeping accommodation for 360 passengers- There is room for 3SO persons to dine in the principal saloofl. She will carry 1,000, tons of coals, and have a crew of 130 men. The Great Britain is intended to trarie between Bristol and New York, and is fitted with Smith's Archintedean screw, upon which some further improvements have been made by the Company. OBSTRUCTIONS ON THE RIVRR THAMES. Yesterday the Lord Mayor held Courts, as Conservator of the River of Thames and Waters of Medway, in the Counties of Surrey and Middlesex, for the purpose of receiving reports from Juries upon the state of the river. His Lordship was attended by the Recorder ; the Town-clerk ; Mr. Firth, the Principal Clerk in the Town Clerk's office • the City Solicitor; Sheriff Rogers ; and the officers of the Corporation. The following is the substance of the Repert of the Middlesex Jury, which is considered as the most important, and which relates to topics of great interest along the banks of the river in its most dangerous parts. The Jury begged leave to report, that in the execution of their duties, they presented the bridges of Battersea and Putney as nuisances and obstructons. They believed those bridges to be dangerous impediments to the common passage, inasmuch as the most skilful pilots were frequently of no avail in their attempts to steer clear of the piles which support these miserable constructions, which caused the loss of boats, paddle boxes, and not unfrequently the loss of life. In soliciting the attention of the Chief Magistrate to those dangerous nuisances 'they submit an opinion. They unanimously hold that immediate steps should be taken to uproot a portion of the piles, or supporters of the bridges, so as to throw two openings into one, wherever that can be per formed with safety. They also report that, in con sequence of the constant and daily demand made for ex traordinary accommodation, arising from the annually increased number of steam-boats and passengers, steps should be taken, by the Ccnservator of the River, fully to protect the public. The river Thames was now the bearer of a floating popula tion, equal in amount of numbers to many principalities; and they requi-ed security against the avarice of persons, who assume to themselves the right of protruding into the bed of the river old and worn out craft, of every form and size, to the detriment of the many hundreds' who gain their livelihcod as watermen. Those poor nien can no longer take advantage of the eddy-tide. They are forced to row against the strongest currents, in evidence of which, it was only necessary to point to Illingerford stairs and the Adelpiii landing. The Jury disclaimed any desire to destroy competition. They did not wish to particularise any wharf or landing-place, lest it might give coutenance to the supposition that they had an object in upholding the monopoly of those parties whose frontages have art advantage of a great depth of water. The Jury were informed by the water bailiff that 13Iackfriars bridge was not in their juri,diction, or they would have pointed out the incongruity of permitting two or three arches of that noble bridge to be closed against the public by a bridge of boars. Tuey had not failed to observe that many of the land it gs were formed of old and worn.out vessels, with decks having holes, patches, and clints, rendering them highly dangerous after sunset ; that many of them are barges with - sharp bows, and ill-constructed gangways on them ; others again are so light and cranky as to present very great hazard to nervous people. They considered Hungerford landing as an example, where instead of having a pier of length and stability, there are two short vessels swinging and rolling whenever a steamer strikes them ; and the access to these ves sels was at times dangerous and difficult, it being accomplished by narrow boards or planks, in the form of the letter Y. The Jury could not imagine that such a state of things could much longer exist. They submitted that the parties who benefited by the tolls paid by the means of steamboats should be com pelled to excavate so much of the ground as would make a deep channel for themselves ; and the Jury . recommended the appointment of an efficient person, independent of the water bailiff, and upon whom the responsibility, as regarded the security of human life, should rest. Such officer should have the control over all erections; see and report upon the depth of water ; and suggest such excavavations as might be deemed necessary to prevent the extension into the bed of the river of permanent floating bridges. Fie should take cognizance of all planks or boards used, and have them properly guarded with hand-rails, and, in fact, should be the deputed servant of the Lord Mayor and the Navigation Committee. After a few observations cn the subject of the new bridge at Hungerford, the Report concludes. The Report of the Surrey Jury briefly stated that the wreck of a brig belonging to Mr. Sweeting, of Hotherhithe, caused an obstruction and impeded the free navigation of the river ; that some blocks of wood were improperly laid opposite the wharf of the London and Westminster Steam Boat Company at Lambeth, which were covered at high water, and thus ren dered dangerous • that a nuisance was occasioned by the chemical works Of Messrs. Hills and Messrs. Bushell, on the banks near Battersea•fields, and that Battersea and Putney Bridges ought either to be wholly removed or widened as to some of the arches. The Recorder informed each jury that the City Solicitor should receive instructions to act as the various measures seemed to require, and the Court now adjourned for the space cf twelve months. LAW IN TELLRENCE • INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 15, IN RE JOHN CLARK. The insolvent was a paper manufacturer, carrying on business at Snodland Mills, near Maidstone, since the year 1834. In 1840 he became a bankrupt, when the amount of debts and liabilities in his schedule was about 28,000/., out of which there was no dividend available to the creditors. In the commencement of 1841 he suc ceeded in getting his certificate, and in three days after returned to Snodland Mills, when he again carried on business until an extent under the Crown was put in force for the sum of 8691. 17s. 2d. for duty arising on the ma nufacture of paper within the space of nine weeks. He was soon afterwards arrested at the suit of Messrs. Knight for 221., and a sum of 2,500/. appeared now on his balance-sheet as debts due by him, while there was due to him only 46/. 135., which could be accounted good debts, and 4891. were stated as bad. . . Mr. NicHoixs appeared to oppose his petition to be discharged, and examined him at great length, when it was eventually determined to allow the case to stand over, in order that a new balance-sheet might be prepared, commencing at an earlier 'date, and also to procure the attendance of Messrs. Knight, as it was alleged that the arrest was a friendly one. ASSIZE INTELLIGEN CE, ROME ClRCUlT.—Muidstone, July 15. The Commission for the County of Kent was opened on Thursday, by Lord Abinger, and this morning both Courts proceeded to business, I%Jr. Justice Coltman sitting in the Crown Court, and Lord Abinger on the Civil Side. There are very lew prisoners for trial, and none of the eases are of a serious character. 11Ir. Justice COLTMAN briefly addressed the Grand Jury, and congratulated them upon the lightness of the calendar, after which they retired. None of the criminal cases tried during the day contained any features of public interest. One case was tried in the CIO Side—Prentis v. Shepherd, but it was also destitute of interest. The verdict was for the plaintiff—damages, 1981. 15s. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Northampton, July 13. . . William Peltifer, indicted towards the close of yesterday's proceedings for a cruel, vile, and abominable assault upon the person of his wife, stood charged with unlawfully, maliciously, a..id feloniously assaulting her, with intent to maim her, to disfigure her, or to do her some grievous bodily harm. From the evidence (which is utterly unfit tor publication in detail) it appeared that the prisoner had been wont to griev ously maltreat the poor woman, and on the night of Saturday, the 2lst of Alay last, having on that day come out from a gaol to which he had for some time been consigned for his brutality towards her, came to his home intoxicated, but not excessively so ; and atter foully abusing her, and otherwise grossly mal treating her, for the greater part of the night, got up, and looked out of the window, and then discovering nobody to alarm him, procured a large pocket-knife, with which, without un clasping it, he inflicted upon her person, as she lay in bed, very exten,ive injury, from which she bled until the Monday night, suffered acutely for a fortnight, and was not yet wholly relieved. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of a gross assault, in the spirit of w hick finding the Learned Judge intimated, as of course, his fullest concurrence. His Lordship this day passed upon him the sentence of the Court, which was, that for this his atrocious offence he be imprisoned in the common gaol of this eounty, and there kept to hard labour, far three years, and he was further ordered, at the expiration of that period, to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of 100/. to keep the peace generally, and especially towards his wife, for the further term of ten years. David Stapleton, a man 69 years of age, was convicted of a ; oss assault, with intent, &c., upon a young girl only 9 years of age._ 1115 LORDSHIP sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years ; and having observed, that after this sentence it was hardly probable, from his great age, that he would ever enjoy liberty again, and that it was therefore unne cessary to try him upon another indictment for a like offence, earnestly exhorted him to repentance of the foul crimes of which he had been guilty, and to devotion and prayer for forgiveness during the short remaining time that he could hope to live. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—Durham, Julrj 13 . CROWN SlDE.—Before Lord Das" 31 '• ) CHAnG E OF MURDER.—James Robertson was indicted for '.l,e wilful murder of James Liddle, at 31t.nkwearrnouth, by striking him on the head with a forge hammer. It appeared that both the prisoner and the deceased were in the employ of an anchorsmith at Monkwearmouth, nen' , " humsden. The deceased was foreman. Oa the day of !Ile offence the men were employed upon an anchor, which, being' " at heat," it was necessary that the hammering should be car ried on briskly. The station of the prisoner was on the out side the anchor, near the shank. A man named Dodds was nearer the fluke. The deceased wes standing near the point of the fluke, about three yards from the prisoner, w in) left his work and went to a corner of the shop, about ei g ht yards off, where he was drinking something out of a bottle. The deceased called to him not to be getting drunk, but to go on with the work. The prisoner went back to his station grumbling, and struck five or - six Mows, and tht-n walked past Dodds to the deceased, saying, ",When I can't do my work 11l go home." Thredeceased replied, " Then go," and repeated the words, " Then go." The prisoner immediately raised the heavy hammer with both `sands, and struck the deceased a violent blow on the left side of the head near the crown. The deceased fell back , and the ' prisoner was about to repeat the blow, when Dodds and the younger Lumsden seized him, notwithstanding which the i - iainmer struck the chest of the deceased. Lumsden said, '• You rascal, do yen see what you have done ;" to which the prisoner replied, " I may as well be hung for him as for moiler." The i ',risiieer struck with all his force, as when striking the anchor, saying " Ilah I " as he delivered the blow. The prisoner wes ' somewhat intoxicated. After the b ows he walked home, and was there apprehended, when he eagerly asked, "Is he dead ?" l'he offiver said, " No, not set." ' He said, " be hanged; I may as well be hanged now as alien" The deceased lingered till five o'clock next morning, and then ,lied. On examination it was lotted that the skull was fright fully fractured, the membrane torn away, and the brain deeply wounded. In summing up the case His Loansuir told the Jury that she question for their consideration was wile, her the offence was committed with malice aforethought, which was ersential to the crime of murder, but that. no provocation by words only would reduce that crime to manslaughter ; but if, though he fared there was nothing in the eridence to warrant it, they could consistentle bring their minds to the belief that there was no malice aforethought, it would be open to them to find a verdict of manslaughter. The Jury, after a shcrt retirement, returned a verdict of Manslaughter. His Loanstur addressed the prisoner in a very solemn man ner, and said that the Jury had taken a very merciful view of his case. Had they found him guilty of murder, the last sen tence of the law would most certainly have been executed upon him ; as it wa., he would, for the residue of his life, have to undergo a punishment less terrible only than death it sdf. He was then s.mteneed to be transported for life. POLICE INTELLIJENCE. GCILDRALL. One of the shareholders of the Westminster Investment Com pany, who gave hts name to Sir Peter Laurie in confidence, attended to state how he had been dupei, and that he was ready to give any testimony in his power to assist those who Were inquiring into the history of this concern. He said he was a foreigner, who had been utterly ruined by put chasing 21 shares in the " Company. For i great number of years he had laboured to save something for his family. He had heard of tricky establishments, and he bad been so afraid of being duped out of his lone. savings that he had shunned all advice 'of placing his money here or there, and kept it in his house till he had realised above 2001., and then the high interest offered by the Wes:minster Investment Company, and the high patro nage it seemed to have, induced him to invest `3lOl. in ita shares. When Members-of Parliament and Honourables lent the sanction of their names, he concluded this concern must be safe and upright ; but he had been deceived, and had not only lest his money, but he dare not go to his home, and his nine children were in danger of starvation. Sir PET 13 It asked whit the liabilities of the Company amounted tu? The applicant replied they were said to be 3,0001. at a meeting of the shareholders held at the beginning of last month: A general meeting was called, but only. six share holders attended. The chairman made a statement that, in consequence of some attacks in the newspapers, the customers had withdrawn their money, and the concern was 3,000/. in debt, which must be produced, or the Savings' Bank must close its doors. He asked how this could possibly be the case, when four months had not elapsed since the Directors had pro duct(' the following balance-sheet : Liabilities and Assets of the Westminster Loan anl Investment J,int-stcck Company. Dr. Amount due by the Company on Shares, De bentures, Current and Deposit Accounts, including money taken on security £90,f20 14 6 Balance carried to Profit and Loss account." 10,866 17 6 00,887 12 t Cr. - Amcunt in loans, bills discounted, and cash in till ..

The chairman said the lease of the premises had been paid' for since this Report. Applicant pointed out from the Report that this was not true.. He was very dissatisfied, and asked :or the deed to see who were his fellow-sufferers. After some re sistance the deed was produced, and he found the nalnes of 26 shareholders, which he copied. Some of them he had not been able to trace. Those he had found mostly held two or three shares. One person, however, held 38 shares. The sp .- plicant produced his share. It set forth that he was the pro— prietor of 21 shares in the Company, and was signed" r•harles Kerry Nicholls and Francis A. Whittaker." Sir PETER said he had received a letter, in which it O'A' alleged that Nicholls'a real name was Whittaker, but he ha cf changed it to the more attractive name of Charles Kerry Nicholls. The applicant said he had waited upon the Hon. Alr. Byng, in Clarges-street, and he said he was not a shareholder ; he countenanced the concern, believing it was established for the good of the public, and that he was sorry for applicant's lass. He had called upon Mr. O'Brien, ALP., but could not obtain an interview. Some other great men had declared off, but shareholders could not shift their liabilities so readily. At the meeting held on the 3d of April, 1841, letters were read from Cornelius O'Brien. Esq. ALP., (perpetual chairman,) the: Honourable E. Byng, Air. Bridgman, M.P., and Sir Robert. Dugdale ; and amongst the resolutions advertised in the news. papers was one—" That the thanks of this meeting are hereby gratefully presented to Cornelius O'Brien, Esq., the Hon. E. Byng, Sir 11. Dugdale, and Hewitt Bridgman, EN , M.P.'s, for their exerticns and support on behalf of the Inati. tuti‘:n." The Railway Magazine of the following week spoke of the Society as " supported as a kind of experimental Insti tution by several influential Members of Parliament and others, tor the purpose of placing capital within the reach of the humbler classes an moderate terms." Sir PETER LA U RIE told the applicant if he would call again next Wednesday, it might be seen whether any and wha.t steps could be taken by the sufferers. 11'011811-IP-STREET. Mr. Edwin. Bates, of Park Villas, Regent's-park, who stood charged with having used langnage of a violent and threatening description, towards William Marshall, Esq., M.P., one of the Directors of the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, was placed in front of the bar for final examination. After a brief conversation between the Magistrate and Mr. Maynard, the solicitor for the prosecution, Mr. Davis, a surgeon residing in Worship-square, was ex amined, and he stated that he had visited the defendant, in company with Mr. Leeson, surgeon, of Finsbury-square, on two occasions since his remand, and the conversations that took place between them had impressed him with a conviction that the defendant entertained a strong, feeling on the subject of his transaction with the Railway Company, more particu larly in reference to Mr. Marshall ; and he w as decidedly of opinion that whilst he remained under the influence of that feeling it would be unsafe to allow him to go at large. Mr. 13iNniram asked the defendant, in a soothing manner, whether he felt satisfied with the treatment he had received since he was last before him ?—The defendant answered that the Governor of the prison had behaved toward 3 him with the utmost urbanity and kindness, for which lie expressed his warmest acknowledgments. Mr. BINGHAM was proceeding to state that he now proposed to send him to a place where he would be treated with equal consideration, when the defendant interrupted the Magistrate, and vehemently protested against such a proceeding being car ried into execution. He then bitterly inveighed against Mr. Marshall, and called a clergyman, an 01,1 friend of his, to prove that the opinion of the medical men with respect to the state of his mind was not to be trusted to. 't he MACIsTRATE said that every word the defendant uttered went more fully to confirm him in the opinion that it would be unsafe to liberate him without good security for his behaviour, and, instead of pursuing the course he at first intended, he should require the defendant to find bail for three calendar months, himself in 500/., and two sureties in '2501. each. The Magistrate having required the usual notice of bail, the defendant was conducted back to prison. UNION- HALL. William While was charged with assaulting Selwood, th constable of the Surrey Theatre, in the execution of his duty The complainant stated that on the preceding night he had occasion to proceed to the boxes, owing to a noisy gentleman, who broke the door and interrupted rho audience. He (the constable) however, had scarcely spoken to the individual, to request he would either leare the house or conduct himself with more propriety, when the defendant came up, inteeercd, and ultimately struck the officer, and created much confusion by the violence of his conduct. The defendant said that he was tipsy at the time, and apolo. gited for his conduct. He was held to bail. Thomas Spinks, collecting clerk in the employ of 'an ex tensive glue. manufacturer in Bermondsey, was committed ter embezzling upwards of 3001., the property of his employer. 'there were six charges selected against the prisoner. " The Manceuvring• Mother," by the authoress of " The History of a Flirt' is just now the great object of at traction at all the libraries. The following criticism from the Examiner certainly affords a strong testimony of its merits:— •• • The history of a Fiirt' was an excellent novel in au excel lent school. We think of Turner Ellis as we think of the best creations of Miss Austin. The present book is not unworthy of its predecessor. The quiet unexaggerated pictures, the lively natural dialogues, the coot, asts of folly and vice, the dangets of false education and a half-morality, were chiefly no ticeable,in the writer's first production, and present themselves in this wills unabated freshness. The design is to exhibit the manoeuvring and match-making passion in its trains of misery and disastrous consequence. Lady Wetheral is the central figure round which are grouped the fortunes of her five daughters. And most admirable, the work of a sure an d un faltering hand, is this elaborate and highly-wrought character. It is even raised here and there, by the writer's earnest spirit, into something of tragic elevation and intensity—differing in this respect from the tame subject in the hands of other writers, that the mere sordid, calculating, money -makin g s p irit, is b y no means its chief feature. The vice in Lady IV etheral springs from a deeper source, and works with more fatal poison. It i s the effect of unrestrained i n dulgence on a weak character and a bad education --resulting in the utter misapprecietion of all worldly things as to their powe r of contributin g to happiness. We wish all success to this writer, and that she will win her way to a sure and enviable vation in this class of literature is little to be doubted."
