It was to these three great elements of success that this country owed its proud pre-eminence. It was to these ele ments that the English farmer would owe his success, if success was hereafter to attend his exertions.— (Hear, hear.) It was his firm and conscientious be lief that, whether in manufactures or in agriculture. monopoly was an unsound principle.—(Cheers.) He thought that when they relied upon their own intelli gence, skill, and industry, they relied upon something positive and practicable, they relied upon something unchanging and certain ; but when they relied upon legislative protection, they relied upon what they had found to be dependent upon party spirit and party feeling—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—utterly unsound, unworthy to be trusted. That was the_ bane of a country's prosperity.—(" T rue. ") He believed that in the agriculture of this country lay one of the great elements of our wealth and our power.—(Hear, hear.) Long may it flourish ; long may we claim as great a pre-eminence in the skill and energy of our far mers, as we have in the enterprise and success of our merchants ; long may we claim for our selves that devotion to our duties in its pur suit as had marked our pursuits in other careers ; and certain he was, that the privileges, the high privileges which we enjoyed here of equal laws and equal rights, the privileges which we en joyed in our superior means of education, would be extended to the lowest labourer amongst them ; he was persuaded that our capital, our intelligence, our climate, and our industry, would not fail to secure to us hereafter the same advantage, the same superiority of position which, in armies and in wars, we proudly claimed over the rest of the world.—(Cheers.) He begged their pardon for intruding these remarks upon their attention. He trusted that, not because they had fallen from him, hut because the same sentiments had fallen from the foremost friends of agriculture, they would meet with attention hereafter, He thanked them for the attention they had paid him, and for the manner in which they had received his health. He certainly reciprocated the feeling which Mr. Goring had expressed. He heartily hoped that this would not be their last meeting, and he could most truly as sure them that the interests of the English farmer, as forming one link in our national prosperity, he should ever be found to advocate.—(Cheers.) Mr. C. GORING said he did not wish to enter into a discussion with his friend Mr. Smith ; but still he did hope that their county Members would support the farmers in all the duties that were imposed upon them, and he was sure they depended upon protection to the farmer.--(Very partial cheering.) The Noble Chairman shortly afterwards vacated the chair, and the company separated. PUBLICATIONS. AUDITORS. Professor Wheatstone, F. R. S. I Professor Graves, A.M. F. R. S A extra RY—W. S. B.

STEYNING AGRICULTURAL DINNER. On Monday the members of the Steyning Agri cultural Association held their annual fat stock show, and afterwards dined together at the White Horse Inn in that town. About 120 persons were present, The Duce of Norfolk presided. The Earl of Arundel, M.P., C. Goring, Esq., M.P., and John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P., were also present. Th e v i ce - c h a i r was filled by Harry Dent Goring, Esq. The usual routine business having been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN , proposed "The Members for th e Rape of Bramb er .' The toast having been drunk, C. GORING, Esq., M.P., said, in the name of Sir Charles Burrell and himself, he thanked them for the kind manner in which they had drunk his health. He regretted that Sir Charles Burrell was not here, but he was obliged to go to London on particular business, and had desired him to make an apology. He thanked them, more particularly on the present occasion, for himself, as he was afraid it might be supposed by some that he was not worthy of the kind manner in which they had drunk his health, for he knew that several of his friends, who had pursued the same course that he had, had met with severe animadversions in the newspapers and other quarters. Avowing himself a friend of agriculture, he might, at first sight, be charged with inconsistency in supporting the mea sures lately passed, and which. certainly very much affected present prices of stock, but in answer to that he begged to remind them that it was highly neces sary, for the benefit of the producer, that the health of the consumer should be vigorous and strong, and considering the high price of bread, and the high price and the gradually increasing price of stock; it was highly necessary that some measure should be passed to relieve the country; arid though in this, as in all other cases, individual interests must suffer temporary loss, still he hoped that in this case the farmers would not be materially injured, but that they would find from the gradual improvement, which he trusted was even now taking place, and the state of the market to-day led him to suppo3e it was raised to that point even here, that the farmer would find that the stability and regularity of the price would com pensate him for the loss which he sustained. But should he be disappointed in the firm hope and ex pectation he had on this point, he felt that it would be the landlords who would suffer, and who ought to suffer.—(L ou d c h eers. ) He would be the last man to exact from his tenantry, more than he was confi dent the price of the produce of their land allowed them to pay easily, and to prosper. There was another subject which, perhaps, some agricultural friends of his might deem him to have been wrong in, but it was a subject of such a delicate nature, and on which there was such:la diversity of opinion, that he would not here touch upon it ; but if any agricultural friend of his should wish to know his reasons for having acted as he had done, it would give him the greatest pleasure to call upon him ; or if such person would do him the favour to call upon him at his house, he doubted not but he should be able to give sufficient reasons for the conduct he had pursued—he meant with regard to the Corn-law.—(Hear, hear.) He considered—hem—hem—that hem—(a long pause)— in present circumstances, it would ill become him to suggest to landlords what they ought to do, but still he might be allowed to say, although he did not con sider that landlords should reduce their rents for this temporary panic, which he took it to be, still he did think they might do a great deal to relieve the distress which the farmers certainly were labouring under at this present time ; and perhaps he might be allowed to suggest that the present distress should not be suffered to fall upon the agricultural labourer, but . that the landlord should assist his tenants in finding work for them—(Hear, hear)—and he was sure that in this part of the country, where there was so much need of draining, that there could not be a better season for such an undertaking. He was sure he need not suggest to landlords that although he con sidered rents should not be lowered in a temporary panic of this sort a bit more than he should raise them if prices were high for a short time, still he did think that landlords should allow their kinder feelings to prevail, and that they should not be hard upon their tenants, if they could not pay them up to the day. He had endeavoured to avoid every thing which might lead to a political discussion ; and if lie had said any thing which could offend the feelings of any one pre sent in that room, he was very sorry for it. It gave him great pleasure to be present at that meeting. He cared not whether such meeting was on the occasion of a lean stock or a fat stock show; he thought that they were calculated to be beneficial to the labourer, to agriculture, and to the country at large. The Earl of ARUNDEL proposed the health of their Vice-President of the day. The toast having been drunk with cheers. H. D. GORING, Esq., rose and said there was no meeting which he had attended with greater pleasure than this, which brought him into connection with those to whom he was so greatly indebted, and to whom he owed so much. Anything that he could do during the remainder of his life, which might serve them, he was sure he should ever be ready to do as far as was in his power, whenever they might call upon him. Allusions had been made to the circum stances in which they were placed, and as a landlord he felt it right also to address them ; and, from the position which he held, he could tell them all as farmers that they must no longer depend upon legis lative protection. Let them all, as landlords and farmers, stand shoulder to shoulder, and manfully meet the crisis before them, He would tell them that, no matter when, come it would, and come it must — corn would be admitted free, and on legislative protec tion they could not depend.—(llear, hear.) But if their landlords met them—if they themselves stood firm in their own position—if they would cultivate their land, and exert themselves, he could assure them solemnly, from what he knew himself, there was no land upon the Continent—no farmer upon the Conti nent—no capital upon the Continent, that ever could compete with them.—(Cheers.) He told them this. He knew it; he had been through the country, he had seen what stock the foreigners" had, he knew how their cultivation got on, and he could assure them (the farmers of England) that such must and would be the case. It was a struggle that was coming; but let it be a struggle that they might meet altogether; and when they did that, let not the landlords forget that it was to those who cultivated the land under them, that was mainly due all they had. They must recollect that it was with the knowledge of the far mers that the land was cultivated; and it was the sweat and the toil of the labourers that brought -- [The remainder of the sentence was lost in the cheers of the meeting.] It had been said that this was a try ing time ; he knew it was a trying time for them all, because they hardly knew how to meet the demands of their labourers, many of them, on a Saturday night ; but if the landlord would aid—if the landlord, as they had been told, would stand back with his rent day—when, they knew that, he thought they might take heart. And let him ask them, when the poor man out of employ, after the dry summer that they had had, and after the land now reeking with wet—if, when he came to his poor cot, he could not go to the fire to dry his clothes, what was to become of him —what was to become of the labourers on whose toil they so mainly depended.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing the health of the labourers of Sussex. DARR'S LIFE PILLS—CAUTION to the -11- PUBLIC. Beware of Spurious Imitations of the above Medicine.

SIR—In an article of a late number ofyour valuable _iournal, you give an aggravated illustration of the working of the New Poor-law. As I am particularly alluded to in that article, permit me to offer a few re marks which perhaps may throw some light on that subject. In the first place the child is born without eyes, and consequently must be perfectly blind through out life. It takes convulsions, and dies in conse quence ; a circumstance of frequent occurrence : but in order to favour the objects and views of certain in dividuals, a Coroner's inquest must be held to ascer tain if the infant died of starvation ! Again, it is stated, that John Hill's average earnings were for some time not more than is. per • week. Admitting that to be the case, for the first week of his wife's con finement, and 4s. 6d. for the fortnight previous, he has had only himself to blame for not earning more. Such is his indolence, that though he had work to go to, at which others could earn from Bs. to 12s. per week, yet he would sooner starve than work ; and when asked by his employers, Messrs. Whatmuff, why he had not gone for his work as usual, he re plied that " he thought they would be stopping some thing towards what he owed them." Thus, sooner than pay an honest debt (which they did not then re quire),- he would leave his employment, and get a precarious subsistence by assisting others. I grant that Hill would not acknowledge this at the inquest; but there is too much proof both of his indolence and intemperance. Are such characters as these to be supported by the hard-working and diligent perse- verance and industry of our labouring population (some of whom can scarcely procure sufficient bread for their own families), without an investigation by the proper authorities as to their being in distress ? Such a state of things could never be intended by any poor-laws, old or new, and such characters ought to be punished. That the woman was in a state of des titution I do not deny. His well known habits would afford the- presumption that she must be so; yet, according to the New Poor-law, it was necessary to visit her to ascertain the fact. It is true he called on me, and stated his circumstances. I referred him to our overseer, who sent him back to me. Perhaps it may be necessary to state, that John Hill resides in the hamlet of Harden, in the parish of Bingley, in the Keighley Union ; that Harden is about the same distance from Bingley, where the relieving officer resides ; and that it is front Wilsden about a mile and a half, Wilsden being in the Bradford Union. I told him, that as he was residing within the limits of the Keighley Union, he ought to apply to Mr. Sutcliffe, the relieving officer for the district in which he re sided ; which he did, and was requested by that officer to attend the Keighley Board, of which W. B. Fer rand, Esq., M.P., is Chairman. This he also did, but was not relieved. Why he subsequently applied to Mr. Ferrand I do not know, unless it was from this circumstance, that Hill knowing Mr. Ferrand to be the Chairman of that Board, and living so near to Mr. Ferrand's residence, Harden Grange, he went to lay his case more particularly before him. Be that. as':: may, Mr. Ferrand ultimately wrote to the Chair man of the Bradford Board , and stated Hill's case, which was then attended to. The law explicitly states that every pauper shall be relieved in the township in which he resides ' • and Hill resided ne ith er i n the t o wnship of Wilsden, nor in the Bradford Union. Upon whom, then, I would ask, does the responsi bility of the case rest ? Certainly not on the shoulders of the Guardians of Wilsden, nor on the Bradford Board, but on the Guardians and officers of - tile Keighley Union, of whom Mr. Ferrand was Chair man. And the intimation the Coroner gave at the inquest on the child, which has been so often and so forcibly alluded to, can only apply to them. Had I taken upon myself to relieve Hill, I should have ex ceeded any powers vested in me by virtue of my office. That we have not, as Guardians, at any time or in any place, power to give relief, was forcibly impressed on us, a few weeks previously, by Mr. Mott, the Assistant Commissioner, whilst at Bradford. Why the Press should so carefully avoid all allusion either to Hill's indolent habits, or to his application to the Keighley Board, which was the proper plAce for him to be relieved at, Ido not know. This I do know, that a strong attempt has been made to throw the odium on those not at all culpable. 5,,,* Sold in Boxes, at Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. ; and Family Packets at I ls; by Edwards, 67, St. Paul's ; Barclay and Sons, Farringdon-street ; and Sutton, Bow Church-yard, London; and by most respectable Vendors throughout the kingdom.

DUBLIN, DEC. 12.—This day the usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of Bank Stock was held in the Bank,"the Governor in the chair. In announcing the usual dividend of 4 per cent. for the half-year ending the 25th instant, the' Governor regretted he had to state that in order to enable the bank to pay the dividend it became necessary to draw on the "rest" to the effect of 15,0001. ! This announcement caused great consternation amongst the holders of Bank Stock. W A NEW WAY TO RAIS.. THE I nv —We call • the attention of our able contemporaries of the daily press to a new and ingenious system of extortion being p ractised by some i " Chevaliers d' up, and Industre, most successfully, and t o a lately sprung very considerable extent. A real or pretended claim for a large amount is made against some company that has been dissolved within the Statute of Limi tations, the names and addresses of all the share holders are obtained, and where threats of legal proceedings have failed numerous actions have been commenced. The demand, vary ing from 5001 to 2,000/., frightens the poor defend ant, who, rather than run the risk of an act i on, (so undefined as the law respecting joint-st oc k com panies is, and so ignorant is the victim usually, as to the proceedings of the company he has so unfortu nately taken a few shares in), compromises for 501. or 1001. Thus, by the assistance of an unprincipled at torney, an enormous sum may be raised. If, how ever, the defendant is determined not to be imposed upon, and resists, the suit is most frequently aban doned. We give these hints to our friends now, be lieving that where any plaintiff has been proved to have been guilty of this system of extortion, even if he had a just claim, he would put himself out of court byhis onirregularproceedings.—Railway Magazine. j The VICE-CHAIRMAN proposed the health of John Abel Smith, Esq.—(Cheers.) J. A. SMITH, Esq., M.P., expressed his cordial and sincere thanks for the kind manner in which they had received him on this his first appearance among them. When they had known him longer and better, he might hope to receive from them some small por tion of that praise which Mr. Goring had bestowed upon him. So much with regard to himself. Ile was not going to take advantage of their kindness to make a long speech, but he could not forbear from saying some few words with respect to the circum stances in which they were placed, and the subject which had called them all together that day. He hoped it might strike them all, as it struck him, that there was one great and important change pervading the sentiments and the speeches, not only of those who had addressed them that day, but of almost every one who had addressed similar meetings during this summer and autumn.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Goring had told them that they could no longer rely ,on legislative protection. It was not for him to say whether he was right or wrong in that opinion, but he was sure that Mr. Goring, and others that ex pressed the same opinion, were acting the kindest and the truest part towards the farmers of England, when they encouraged them rather to rely on themselves than on any legislative protec tion.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)

James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Morison, Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great affluence and respectability, and the late Member for Banff shire, John Morison, was the second brother of the subject of this brief sketch. In early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany, being in tended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his studies he resided at Riga, as a mer c h an t, an d subsequently in the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West India property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he was obliged to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seeking, from change of climate, a restoration to health. About the year 1814 he settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in great respectability. It is now twenty years ago that, by his discovery and perseverance, he accomplished his own extraordinary cure. We cannot do better than transcribe the following interest ing particulars given by himself in the " Morisoniana :" " A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event, too, which falls but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me uut of this world eight years ago, I uhould have died as another man, and been forgotten. and the world could have reaped no benefit Thom my case and misfortunes, nor from the favourable effects produced by the same means on my children. This is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a con vincing proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that health and old age are within the reach of us all.'

We have great satisfaction in informing our readers, that the Lord Provost, as Chairman of the Committee for suggesting the kind of work on which the unemployed tradesmen and labourers should be occupied, has received from Sir R.

The amount of destitution among the labouring poor is very great,. and it is therefore hoped the public will come liberally forward with their subscriptions in aid of the funds for the em ployment of this destitute class of our fellow citizens : " Whitehall, Dec. 8.

The spirit, independence, and courage of the Cata lonians in general, but more especially of the people of Barcelona, often impart to the otherwise monoto nous pages of Spanish history, their chief vigour and interest. Banding themselves together on all signal occasions in their small, but invincible juntas, last of all men upon earth have this people ever dreamed of passively bowing to thrall or subjection, but have been ready to spring up invariably in resistance, and battle for their rights and freedom. The late insur rectionary movement, on whatever principles at tempted, Was nevertheless an instance of the same active and stirring spirit of restless feeling which has characterised them from the earliest times. The bold seaport on which its strong and rich city is founded first struck the eye of the father of Han , nibal—Handlcar Barcas—from whom the son called it Barcino. Built in the form of a half-moon, it has in subsequent times become one of the largest and handsomest cities of the kingdom, and ranks third among their number. The middle ages acknowledged it as the principal commercial place on the Mediter ranean, whose tranquil waters pour themselves into its spacious and secure harbour. Over this blue ex panse, defended on one side by the mountain of Mont juich, a strong and massive fort arises, guarding it s approach, and ready to assail a ll hostile corners. A thousand vessels are supposed to enter it during peace, and the flags of Spain, France, America, and Den mark, are the most frequent that flaunt in its port. Upwards of one hundred and forty thousand fill up the sum of its population —a hardy, industrious, and courageous people. Under Charlemagne it was erected into a county. Some time after it became an independent sove reignty. The tribunal of the Inquisition once had sway, but has now no longer existence. In addition to its churches,Juniversity, and libraries, it has an hospital large enough for 3,000 sick, a large arsenal, and a cannon foundry. From the year 802 to 1131, Barcelona was governed by its own Counts, and to this day the King of Spain reckons " Count of Bar celona" among his titles. Barcelona, i n d ee d , pr i or t o the mersion of all the numerous lord s hi ps o f t h e king dom in the crown of Arragon, and which were either dependent on it or on the French Kings, was the only one which at any time has exhibited the attributes of sovereignty. Of the stirring events of its early times, and at this especial period, a respectable-sized folio might be filled ; but the Pere Tomich and Dingo are given somewhat to random tales, and fables are not to be trusted. Clear history of this republic appears to dawn about the year 800, when, contrary to the general tenor of its history, the Wall of the city succumbed, and Louis of Aquitaine made a triumph ant entry, and instituted anew in it the Chris tian worship. Borello, one of the Counts, reigned seventeen years in security; but at the termina tion of that period, the formidable .Almansor marched against him. The little: army of Borello, power fully as it contested the field, was annihilated. Bar celona was stormed by the invader, and in the vast conflagration of the town the public archives perished. Count Raymundo 11. name was renowned throughout Spain, for his victories over the Moorish king. Twelve Mahommedan monarchs are said, to have been tribu tary to him. The Barcelonese, under their successive Counts, were the doughtiest antagonists of the Arabs, who swarmed hither during these ages, in quite, a Moorish crusade. By the marriage of Raymond V. with 'the daughter of the King of Arragon, it was united with that kingdom. In 1640 it withdrew, with all Catalonia, from the Spanish Government, and submitted to the French Crown. Again it reverted to Spain, again to France; and, at the peace of Rys wick, was restored to Spanish rule. Its restlessness is plainly to be inferred, from these few and rapid transitions. In the war of the Spanish succession, Barcelona took the part of the Archduke Charles, and afterwards Obstinately resisted the Duke of Berwick. The stronh citadel on the east of the city was then erected, to overawe the inhabitants. It was in the power of the French till 1814, baying been taken by T. WAKEFIELD, Esq. (Mayor of Nottingham), in a very lucid and eloquent address, seconded the reso lution. Mr. CRIPPS, of Nottingham, then moved the second resolution, viz. :—" That this m ee ti ng cor di a ll y ap proves of the endeavours of the Anti-Corn-law League to repeal the Corn and Provision-laws, rejoicing that their views are so rapidly progressing among a class hitherto opposed to them." Mr. JOHNSON, of Derby, in an able manner, se conded the resolution. J. BRIGHT, Esq., of Rochdale, viewed the meeting' as one of the most influential ever held, and made an urgent appeal for subscriptions. The following contributions were then announced —S. Bean, Esq., of Nottingham, 100/. ; E. Strutt, Esq., of Derby, 3001.; Mr. Harris, of Leicester, 1001.• Mr. Biggs, 501.; Mr. G. Bradley, of Nottingham, 501.; C. Paget, Esq., 501.; Boden and Morley, 50/. ; Messrs. Hollins, 501.; Messrs. Foster and Stevenson, 25/. ; and others, making a total of 9971. This sum will be yet nearly doubled. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. SIR WILLIAM NOTT. It may not be generlly known out of Carmarthen that the father of the gallant General, the fame of whose glorious achievements in India will occupy as bright and distinguished a page in our military annals, was a very respectable innkeeper in this town, (Carmarthen). The hostelrie of Nott, mine host of the Ivy Bush here, was a well-accustomed one; and Mr. Nott, brought up well his three sem :thelytmgest of whom, William Nott, is the soielier = Outline, on whom her Majesty, a few days since, bestowed. the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. A sur viving elder brother of General Nott is now residing at Carmarthen. General Nott, when a lad, assisted in husbandry operations, ploughing and harrowing with his own hands; so it may be said, in this case literally, that the ploughshare was exchanged for the hero's sword. Carmarthen is justly proud of having given birth to so great a General, who is also believed to be a very amiable man. A corre spondent supplies the following anecdote :—" Soon after the landing of the French at Fishguard, last war it will he remembered, almost all the inhabitants of the different towns in Great Britain formed them selves into volunteer corps. There was one at Cow bridge, commanded by a Major Bevan. The present General Sir Wm. Nott was at that time at school there, under the tuition of Mr. Thomas Williams, master of the mathematical academy at that town. The boys, on field days, generally got a holiday; and it happened on one occasion, when the corps was out firing ball-cartridge at a mark, that some of the boys asked permission of Major Bevan to be permitted to, fry their skill also. The Major good-naturedly complied, and desired some of the men to load a few muskets for the lads. When the boys began to fire away, up comes a Mr. Thomas, of the Cross, an attorney; he endeavoured to take a musket from one of the young gentlemen, which Nott perceiving, he i mme di a t e l y went to t h e assistance of his schoolfellow, and wrested the piece from the attorney. high words ensued, and young Nott took off his coat to fight, though the man was a sort of elephant, as big again as himself, but the officers interfered and stopped the fight. Nott was al ways considered high-spirited, and in this case it was the general opinion that he would have thrashed his man had he been permitted. Young Nott was con sidered as the hero of the school, and the junior boys took shelter under his wing in all their little difficul ties."—The Welshman. GOLD :MEDAL.—We have much pleasure in men tioning that his Majesty the King of Prussia presented a beautiful gold medal to Douglas Morison, Esq., a British artist, of great promise, during his recent visit to Germany. On one side of the medal there are representations of figures in alto-relievo, of Sculp ture, Music, Poetry, Architecture, and a good like ness of his Majesty " Friedr. Wilhelm IV., Koenig v. Preussen:" On the obverse the Temple of Fame, and Apollo riding in his chariot drawn by four horses, and attended by the four Seasons. His Majesty was so much pleased with Mr. Morison's views of Haddon Hall, Derbyshire, that he not only bestowed a medal of the highest order awarded to artistical merit in Prussia, but was graciously pleased to invite Mr. Morison to a regal birth-day banquet, and expressed his unqualified admiration of Mr. Morison's forthcoming work, consisting of Views of the Ducal Palaces, Castles, and Hunt ing-seats in Saxe Coburg-Gotha. Many of these views are singularly beautiful, particularly the Palace of Ehrenburg, the birth place of the Prince Albert, and the Citadel of Coburg, the fortress in which Luther was concealed during the merciless and protracted persecution to which he was exposed. Although it is gratifying to see a British artist stimu lated to renewed exertion by the patronage of such illustrious persons as the King of Prussia, the King of the Belgians, the Duke and Hereditary Prince of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, and by other foreign Princes, it is more satisfactory to know that Mr. Morison's work will appear under the patronage of her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Albert. While Mr. Morison was taking the above mentioned views, he was honoured with the most distinguished kindness by his Serene Highness the Duke of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, from whom he also received a very handsome medal. BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—We believe we may state with confidence, that the Directors of the Birming ham Railway have for some time contemplated plac ing a carriage between the tender and the first passen ger carriage of every train. Several experiments were made to ascertain the description of carriages best suited for the proposed object. A carriage truck was first tried, but experience proved that the only carriages suitable were either second-class carriages or parcels vans. A number of parcels vans were then ordered to be b u ilt t o su pply a dvanced guards for each of the trains, and until these carriages are com pleted an empty second class carriage will be used as ;substitute with every:train. We are happy to hear t at orn E I i w o h G o ß l A v r a n s A o most hurt, s ETY oc .—A numerousis,going on well. ROYAL meeting was held on Monday evening (W. R. Hamilton, Esq., F.R.S., Pre sident, in the Chair), when several valuable presents were announced. A letter was read from Mr. Warrington, British Consul of Tripoli, giving some account of the present state of geographical science in that country. They had few instruments for observation, but some important geograjhical information had lately been obtained from 1H rench and German travellers, and there was every probability of a commercial intercourse being shortly opened with the interior. A letter was next read from the British Consul at Panama, opened containing some particulars highly interesting across there garding a communication beinglsthmus of Pa nama, w hi ch vas likely to be a very important one. The Chairman read a letter from Sir W. Parish, giving a description of a map of Pekin, given to him by a relative who accompanied the expedition of Lord Macartney into China. He had forwarded the map for presentation to the Society, but it had been shown to Lord Stanley, who had taken it to her Majesty, at Windsor. There are some young Chinese at Rome, who are educating as Mis sionaries, by whom the map was translated, although some difficulty was met in the reduction of Chinese to Italian miles. The whole circumference of the city might, however, be stated as 26 miles, and the map was very full, containing the names of all the streets, public offices, gardens, canals, treasuries, Sze., being complete in every respect. It was stated by a mem ber that a similar map was at St. Petersburgh, in which the circumference of the city, which had nine gates, was stated as 23 miles. DISMISSAL OF FARM SERVANT ' S AND REDUCTION or WAGES.—We regret to say that the Income-tax is producing, in the county of Suffolk, its most mis chievous results. It is now pinching the poor, who supposed that it never would have touched them. In the neighbourhood of Walsham-le-Willows we hear that no less than twenty married men with children have been dismissed, as their masters cannot afford; employ them any longer ; at Otley, nearly as many have been discharged; and at Stowmarket and vari ous other places, wages have been reduced from 9s. to 7s.—lpswich .Express. THE CORN-LAWS. I MEETING OF THE MANUFACTURERS. NOTTINGHAM, DEC. 13.—The merchants and ma nufacturers of the counties of Nottingham, Leicester, and Derby, held a most enthusiastic meeting this morning, in the Independent Chapel, Friar-lane, Not tingham, the attendance being so great that the Town hall was not sufficiently capacious. Present of Nottingham :—T. Wakefield, Esq., Mayor; S. Bean, Esq., President of the Complete Suffrage Conference ; Aldermen Frearson, Wilson, Newton, Herbert, Rogers ; the Reverends P. T. Gilton, J. Wild, J. Gilbert, T. Keyworth, Z. Taft, H. Hunter ; D. Bradley, Esq., Cripps, Esq. ; and Messrs. Cartwright, IVilson, Pfunget, Steegman, Biddle, Neuberg, J. Smith, Bacon, Corah, R. Sutton, Dunn, Eddison, and an immense body of other gentle men manufacturers. From Derby, there were many of the leading in habitants, and by a special railway train from Leices ter, there arrived the Mayor of that borough, and three hundred manufacturers. Many came also from Langlilic. On the motion of Mr. Alderman FREARSON, J. HEARD, Esq., was unanimously called to the chair, and after making a few observations, called upon W. Biggs, Esq., the Mayor of Leicester, to move the first resolution. W. BIGGs, Esq., then, in a very elaborate manner, spoke of the truly unprecedented depression of trade in the three counties. The resolution he moved was expressive of a conviction, that the distress in the ma nufacturing districts was rapidly extending to the agricultural. The CHAIRMAN announced to the meeting that R. Cobden, Esq., would be present at the tea party in the evening.
