A large and influential audience was collected in the Music-ball, Leeds, on Thursday evening, to hear Signor Orsini upon the Italian question, and the Austrian oc cupation of Italy. J. BOTTERILL, Esq., occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that he bad great pleasure in introducing to the meeting Sig nor Felice Orsini —an exile from the land which was once the glory of civilisation, and renowned for learning, for science, for poetry, and for the fine arts. Was the soil of Italy less abundant now, were her skies less bright, her sons less heroic, less patriots, or born with less genius ! No. (Applause.) But the iron hand of des potism had seized her with a terrific gripe, and hurled her best, her most talented, her noblest, and most en lightened citizens into those loathsome dungeons, which Felice Orsini could so well describe to them. But should this always remain so ? He believed they would say with him that Italy must have its day of liberation. Perhaps in that assembly there might be a variety of opinions as to the time within which that liberation would be effected ; but he was cure they would all join with him in the prayer that that time might soon arrive--that it might be in their time— that their eyes might see its glorious results. (Applause.) - Signor FELICE ORSINI was then introduced by the chairman, and on rising was greeted with the most vehe ment applause. He said that much as be had himself suffered, he was ready to endure everything, to pass through any trials and sufferings, if be could by so doing hasten the downfall and assist in the overthrow of the oppressors of his country. (Loud applause.) Although but a simple individual, yet while God granted him in tellect and physical power he hoped to assist in erasing the bloody feet-tracks of Austria from the soil of Italy. (Vehement cheering.) And if, with his latest breath, he could reflect that he had, with deeds, and not words only, done something to aid in the liberation of the land that gave him birth, he should die contented and happy. (Applause.) Signor Orsini concluded by exclaiming—Noble and generous Englishmen ! the corner-stone of oppression in Italy has to be overthrown, and the whole fabric razed to its foundation. But while the Papacy lives nothing can effect this; while the Pa pacy lives, liberty cannot exist on the banks of the Tiber. The Papacy upholds Austrian tyranny, and the oppression of all Italy; and we Italians consecrate it a supreme duty to get rid of the Papacy as the principal cause of all our miseries—that Papacy which is ever ready to ble,s the ensanguincd hands of any one, be be duke or king, or emperor, who will lead a brutal soldiery to crush out the lives of the people. We will do our best, with God's help, to uproot Papacy, and drive the foreigner beyond the Alps, that Italy may have a posi tion and a name among the nations. (Applause.) The movement has begun ; the nations of Europe have seen in the Crimea that the old Roman and Italian is not dead, and may rise up yet as valiantly as ever for It sly. And you, Englishmen, who in past times so nobly eman cipated yourselves from the thrall of the Papacy, we trust and believe that, instead of helping our oppressors, you will use your powerful influence in our behalf. Yes, we believe that England will not turn aside from the glorious path that Providence has assigned her—a path which she has illumined by centuries of freedom, and in which she has shone resplendently by her love of liberty, of justice, and of honour. (Cheers.) Mr. L. JONES proposed a resolution, pledging the meeting to open forthwith a subscription, to be handed to the Italian N a ti ona l C omm i ttee , t o b e app li e d by them in such ways as they may deem expedient, for as sisting in the emancipation of their country. Mr. Councillor PATTERSON seconded the motion in a few sentences, and it was carried by acclamation. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the meeting. • AFFRAY WITH A GAMEKEEPER. On Thursday two men, named George and Alfred Woodhouse, were charged before Mr. E. G. Maynard and Mr. J. G. Cottingham, county magistrates at Ches terfield, with committing an assault upon James Cowley, gamekeeper to Mr. R. Fowler, of Sheffield, the owner of an estate at Whittington. Cowley said he was shoot ing partridges in a field belonging to Mr. Fowler, and he wounded a bird, which dropped in another field on the opposite side of a turnpike road. A boy, a brother of the defendant's, picked up the bird and refused to give it to him. He therefore caught hold of the lad and took the bird from him. He had offered to give the boy 2d. for it, but ho refused. Several witnesses were examined for the complainant, who witnessed the scuffle, and spoke to seeing the keeper taking something from the boy. The defendants alleged that they were sent for in conse quence of the way in which the keeper was ill using their brother, whom he was dragging across the turnpike road by the neckerchief. They asked the keeper what be was going to do, with the lad, and they interfered and took him away. A souffle ensued, when the keeper lifted up his gun, which was laid on the turnpike road, and which was on full cock, and he attempted to strike the defendants with it. Fearing it. should be discharged they seized the keeper, and they all fell down together. They said they did not int,rf-ere to assault him, but only to take the gun from him, so tort be might not in his passion shoot them. The defendauts called several witnesses, the first of whom, Sarah Drew, said she saw the gamekeeper lift up his gun, and st:ike at the defendant, Alfred Woodhouse, but the other defendant, George, warded off the blow, and took the gun from him. This statement was corroborated by other evidence. Mr. Shipton, solicitor, who appeared in support of the information, urged that the boy had un till possession of the bird, and that the keeper was per fectly justified in taking it from him without using un necessary violence, which he submitted be had not done. Mr. Maynard, the senior magistrate, said—" We are both of opinion that the defendants are guilty of an assault without any provocation, and we do not be lieve the keeper used any more violence than was necessary. We don't believe that he caught hold of the boy by the neck and trailed him across the road." —The defendants : But our witnesses saw him do it as well as ourselves. We asked him three times to let the boy go before we interfered at all.—Mr. Maynard : We don't believe it, and we fine you 108. each and expenses, or 14 days imprisonment with hard labour in the House of Correction at Derby,—The defendants paid the fines, THE NEWSPAPER PRESS AND THE COURTS OF LAW IN SCOTLAND. In the Dumbarton Herald of the 16th inst. a blank column is surmounted by the following paragraph : "THE PRESS DT BONDS.—In consequence of the Sheriff- Substitute of this county considering that the publication of the evidence in the libel case referred to elsewhere might interfere with the due administration of justice,' we re gret being under the necessity of sending our paper to press without the report, the greater part of which was in type when we were served with the interdict against its appearance in our columns. We obey the edict of his lordship, and feel satisfied our readers will approve of our entire proceedings in this affair." Additional light is thrown upon this paragraph by the following documents which appear in the same paper : INTERDICT AGAINST PUBLISHING NEWS. Before proceeding with the ordinary small debt cases in Sheriff Steele's Court on Tuesday last, Mr. Colquhonn made an application to his lordship anent an interdict served upon the proprietor of this newspaper the preceding evening, to restrain him from publishing either a report of the proceedings or any matter connected with the case of Dunbar v. Bennett, heard before Sheriff Hunter on Saturday. The following is a copy of the interdict :- 13th October, 1856. Unto the honourable the sheriffof the sheriffdom of Dum barton and Bute, or his substitute for Dumbartonshire. Thomas Dunbar, residing in Dumbarton, superintendent of police for the county of Dumbarton, petitioner, against S tmuel Bennett, residing in or near Dumbarton, editor, printer, and publisher of the newspaper entitled the Dum barton Herald and County Advertiser for Dumbartonshire, .Argyleshire, and Buteshire, respondent. The petitioner, Thomas Dunbar, humbly sheweth that there is presently before your lordship's Small Debt Court for Dumbartonshire an action of damages, at the peti tioner's instance, against the said Samuel Bennett, respon dent, for defamatory and libellous articles, which had ap peared in the said newspaper against the petitioner. That the said action was heard before your lordship on Saturday last, 11th October, 1855, and proof led for both parties, when your lordship made avizandum with the case with a view to judgment. That in the state of the action tho respondent has thought fit, in reference thereto, and to the petitioner as pursuer thereof, to print, and post upon the walls of the burgh of Dumbarton, and on the houses in the said burgh, this day, 13th October, 1856, or caused to be so printed and posted, a placard, in large letters, of the tenor following, viz.:— " Where was Dunbar? The Secret out ! See the Dum barton, Herald of this week." A copy of the said placard is herewith produced, and referred to. That it will be seen from said placard that it is scurrilous in its tone and features, and thatthe respondent announces his intention to publish in his said newspaper this week matters connected with the said action during its depen dence. That the printing and posting of said placard, and the threat to publish in the said newspaper an account of the proceedings in said action, or some matter connected there with, affecting the petitioner, and that during the depen- deuce itself, constitute an undue interference with the ad. ministration of justice. May it therefore please your lordship to grant warrant for interdicting the respondent,and all others in his employ, from further printing, publishing, and posting the said placard, and any other placard or statement of a like or similar nature or tendency, having reference to the peti- tioner or the said action ; and also fiorn printing and pub lishing, in his said newspaper or otherwise, any report or account of the said action, or of the proceedings bad there in during the dependence of the action, and. until the same be finally decided, and in the meantime to grant interdict in the above terms ; and further, to ordain the respondent forthwith to take down and remove the said placards, so far as already posted, or to authorise the petitioner to do so; and lastly, and in respect to the premises, to find the respondent liable in the expenses of this application and procedure to follow herein.—According to j ustice, (Signed) Thomas Dunbar. Drawn by (Signed) Jas. Mackibbin, Petra. pror. Dumbarton, 11th October, 1856.—The Sheriff-Substitute appoints a copy of the foregoing petition, and of this deli verance, to be forthwith duly served upon Samuel Bennett, complained against ; and ordains him to enter appearance therein, in the hands of the clerk of court, within 48 hours after such service with certification. Meantime grants in terim interdict as craved. (Signed) W. C. STEELE. Mr. Colquhoun remarked that he had never yet heard that it was illegal to publish proceedings which took place in open court, as his lordship was well aware the thing was done every day in the supreme courts of the eountry, and that too in cases where interests were at stake infi nitely greater than those involved in the present action. The Sheriff-Principal, who heard the case, made no re marks as to the impropriety of publishing the evidence. It was not intended to mix it up in any way with com ments. The defender had it already prepared and set up, and as his newspaper was to be issued on Thursday morn ing, it was hardly possiblo for him to comply with the prayer of the interdict, if it was now confirmed by his lordship. Under these circumstances, he hoped his lord ship would recall the interdict, and allow the publication of the evidence to proceed. Mr. Mackibbin, who appeared for the pursuer Dunbar, said it was not necessary in this case to discuss the abstract question whether or not the defender was entitled to pub lish the report of trials which took place in open court, nor was he called upon to allege that no such right existed. The application was made in consequence of the defender hav ing yesterday issued bills bearing the words—" Where was Dunbar?—The Secret out !—See the Dumbarton herald of this week," a placard he might say, which was in itself not only a continuation of that system of defamation which had been already complained of, but intimated, besides, that in his newspaper would be found some revelation seriously affecting the character of Dunbar. Now, it was to all intents and purposes most unwarrantable to make remarks of this kind while the case was still in the hands of the sheriff, and, though the pursuer did not seek to in terfere with the defender so long as the latter fairly exer cised his profession, yet, when attacked iu the way he had been, he was compelled to seek such reparation as the law afforded, ho therefore trusted the interdict would be con firmed by his lordship. Sheriff Steele having explained his reasons for declining to proceed with the case himself, said, in regard to the present application that the rule usually applied in such cases was that no portion of the evidence in an action should be published till the whole case was complete. It might be that even the evidence in this case was not complete, and, for anything he knew, Sheriff Hunter might think it necessary to have other witnesses examined than those already heard. Mr. Colquhoun had referred to jury trials in the higher courts, but it must be borne in mind that they were generally finished at ono sitting, and hence newspapers could not influence the decision in any way by publishing the evidence. Therefore, though there might be no rule universally applicable, yet, upon the principle that all courts, however hum ble, were entitled to make such rules for their re gulations as seemed necessary, ho thought that, in this case, the interdict already granted ought to be confirmed. So long as the case remained in the hands of the sheriff it could not be said to be concluded, and he trusted that all the patties concerned would see the propriety of refraining from discussing it till the decision was an nounced. Regarding the placard referred to, he would say nothing further than that, if the pursuer 'considered himself to be aggrieved thereby, the proper course for him was to raise another action ; but, in the mean time, the document was not before the court. Acting, as he had said, upon the principle that a Court had a right to interpose to prevent the publishing of anything that might interfere with the course of justice, he thought it his duty to advise both parties from saying or doing anything in connexion with it till it was out of the hands of the sheriff, which was not likely to be very long. Mr. Colquhoun and Mr. Mackibbin having both stated to his lordship that Sheriff Hunter intended to send from Edinburgh a written interlocutor in the case, accompanied by a note, Sheriff Steele said he thought there must be some mistake here, as a written interlocutor in a small debt case was a thing manifestly illegal. The action was a small debt action, so far as he was aware, and he there fore thought it more likely that the Sheriff Principal would deliver judgment in Dumbarton himself. Mr. Colquhoun made another attempt to enlighten his injusticea s o f p t r o h n e a u p u p c l e i c d a t t o i b on, e p b e u r t em w p it t h o o r u y t . e l o t f r e c e l s t 1:i c. p n a nd s to the nt e i r n d j The aggrieved journal comments upon these proceedings iu the following terms : " THE CENSORSHIP IN BRITAIN.—EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS.—We believe the fact is not generally known, either to our readers or our brethren of the press, that a sheriff-substitute can play the part of censor of the press by interdicting the publication of an ordinary trial hearl in open court. In illustration of our statement we refer to the proceedings which took place before Sheriff Steele here on Tuesdry last, and from which it will be seen that in defiance of scores of precedents to the contrary he thought himself entitled to grant an interdict against publishing a certain report, or anything having reference to it, till the question at issue was finally decided. If an official of this description can thus interfere with a jour nalist while pursuing his lawful avocation, the much vaunted liberty of the press is reduced to a mere phantom ; for in every county in Scotland there sits a censor more mischievous than even the censor of the continental press, inasmuch as .his powers are undefined and his abilities for the office untried. As the matter is one in which the whole press of the country is concerned, we specially invite the attention of our brethren to the proceedings referred to, ending, as they did, in the suppression, for the present, of a report which it was not even hinted was libellous in its details or likely to be mischievous in its effects. The question at issue is simply this—Can any official in this country interfere to prevent the publication of the report of a trial which took place in open court." English readers may be mystified by the institution of an action for libel against a newspaper in a Sma:l Debt Court. The following case, reported in the same number of the Dumbarton Herald, appears to throw some light on the modus operandi " SINGULAR SMALL DEBT CASE.— 51`NAUGHT V. CAMPBELL.—On the 25th S ept. l ast, Ro b er t M'N aug ht ( son of Mary M`Farlan e or M'N aught, eating-house k 3oper, APlNTeil's Land,' D um b arton) was conv i c t e d i n th e po li ce court here, before the presiding magistrate, for the theft of a lame pigeon, which was proved to be the property of James Campbell, sen., carter, Dumbarton, and was sen tenced to five days' imprisonment. It would appear that, after Mrs. M'Naught's son was convicted of the theft of the pigeon, Campbell went about the town stating to sundry parties that a woman he did not know had told him that one Mrs. M`Naught, residing in M'Neil's Land, Dumbarton, had caught and plucked five or six of his pigeons, or that such were in her cellar. Mrs. M'Neught immediately summoned Campbell to the Small Debt Court for damages for defamation of character, and produced sundry witnesses, who proved that Mrs. M`Natight's son had received the pigeon from some of his companions in the street, and that Mrs. M'Naught never had any pigeons in her cellar. The pursuer produced ample proof to satisfy the sheriff that she never had any pigeons in her posses sion, and other parties, who prpved that the defender had used the expressions complaint 4 , The sheriff exone rated Mrs. M'Naught of any slander which might have ari.en by the report, cautioning Campbell, the defender, and found him liable to the pursuer in 10s. damages and expenses." SIR JOHN TROLLOPE'S OPINION,! ON THINGS IN OENEUAL. At the anniversary of the Grantham Agricultural So ciety on Friday "the health of the members for the county of Lincoln" having been proposed and drunk with enthusiasm, Sir J. TROLLOPS, M.P., rose to reply. He said—Gen tlemen, in replying to the toast of the health of the county members, I regret that it again falls to my lot, single handed, to do it without the co - operation of my colleague, my noble friend Lord Burghley. It may be in your recol lection that about two years since his lordship undertook the command of a regiment of militia, and, when the re quirements of the war withdrew our troops from our foreign garrisons, that regiment was the first of our mili tia regiments which tendered its services for duty abroad. His lordship went with his regiment to Gibraltar, and, having served a year in that fortress, he retu rne d t o thi s country a short' time before the close of the last ses sion of Parliament ; but a few days after his arrival among us he was attacked by a dangerous malady—the smallpox, which he thinks he must have contracted on his jsurney home. He was, in consequence, unable to take any share in the legislation of the country, and on his recovery he went as a convalescent to Wales, where he stillremains, to recruit his health, As he has, as regards his Parliamentary duties, been lying fallow for two years, and as I have been working, not only during tbat time, but for a period long before his lordship entered Vae Legislature, it is but fair that for the future I should endeavour to put as much upon his shoulders as I possi• bly can. If I can make him take an active share in legis lation, believe me - it shall be done. Whenever the health of the county members is toasted in a company composed of their constituents, they themselves being present, it is expected that they should get up tine'. make a speech, detailing something of what has been done in the past and is likely to come off in the future. Now, so little was done during the last session of Parliament, that it may be disposed of in a few words, and, as I have not the gift of prophecy, I can give you no idea 'of what is likely to b 3 done in the coining session. You are, no doubt, aware that many things are proposed for legisla tion at the outset of the session, and that but very few of them ever come to maturity ; and for the last two years the interest of the war was so absorbing that it in terfered with everything else. We foUnd ourselves, as Eug!ishmen and patriots, bound to support her Majesty in carrying on hostilities, and we were not prepared for any other business. The only act of last session which affects your interests is the County Police Act. I did not think that we wanted a police in this county ; for, as chairman of the quarter sessions, 1 knew that we had few criminals among us; and that offences are few and far between. I, therefore,, felt it my duty to give it every opposition in my power. It was, however, the pleasure of Parliament to pass it, and it is now the law of the land, nod our duty is to see that it be properly carried out. Yesterday we bad, in the Court-house of Lincoln, a meeting of the magistracy of the county to take measures for that purpose, and I hope it may give all that security to property which such an expensive machinery ought to give. Rely upon it everything shall be done by the magistracy to make it do so. (Hear, hear.) There were many things which it was expected Parliament would last session do, but which it did not do. The most important of these was the passing of a general measure fur the education of the people. (Hear, hear.) That is a subject on which men's minds naturally differ, and, unfortunately, one element—the religious element—has interposed so much in connection with it as to prevent the pasting of any measure thereon. I, for my part, mast say that I am disinclined to see the youth of this country educated on the mere secular principle, and I was prepared to vote for any measure which would secure them a religious training ; and for such a one, too, as would secure the reformation rather than the punishment of the juvenile offender. (Hear, hear.) As regards the bill for the collection of agricul tural statistics, I had great pleasure in presenting a large number of petitions —one, I think, from this neighbour hood—in opposition to its enactment. So far as that measure was discussed, I was opposed to it ; for it in troduced a compulsory and an inquisitorial system, re quiring i he farmers to make certain returns, and punish ing with pains and penalties if they made any error i n them or omitted to make a return at all. Such a mea sure, I think, was uncalled for, and would, I am sure, had it been passed, have been found most unsatisfactory in its workings. If the produce of a man's farm were required of him, it is easy enough to make a return of the number of acres growing any particular crop ; but nothing is more difficult for him to do than to tell the quantity it may yi e ld. I cannot g i ve a stronger proof of the truth o f t hi s than b y telling you what took place the other d a y in my own neighbourhood. A small grower thrashed a bag of corn, and calculated from it that he would have a yield of 20 quarters from what he had sown, but when he thrashed the whole crop he had only nine quarters. I give you this as an example of how difficult it is for a man to calculate upon the re turn of his crop, and how much he may be deceived in it. (Hear.) The returns which the farmers are re quired to make, if they are to be of any use for statis tical purposes, must be made simultaneously, and at once compiled. If they are to take as long a time as the counting of the people—namely, three years—and figures representing men can be as easily counted as those re presenting quarters of corn, or even if they be three months in being compiled, they cannot possibly be of the slightest practical use to the agriculturists. At the best they can only give a very rough estimate of the quantity of corn in the country. Such is the case with respect to the agricultural statistics oflreland, in which country they are collected by the police ; and when We get a county police, too, let them take the returns in the best way they can, and make their ealculations accord inely. They would not, as I said before, benefit you ; and the only portion of the people which they could at all benefit is the commercial community, to regulate by them the balance of foreign exchange ; and persons of that class, I find, call for them more loudly than we do. But have we not telegraphs, railways, and other facili ties of communication ? and, above all, have we not de mand and supply to regulate the price of corn, without having. recourse to agricultural statistics ? (Hear, hear.) The whole system proposed is a false one, and is likely to prove vexatious to the farmers, and therefore I op posed it. There cannot be the least objection to tell the number of acres under crop, and leave the persons mak ing the inquiry to form their calculations on those data. That, gentlemen, was one question which affected your interests injuriously. It was down on the paper day after day for discussion, but never came on, as the Gi vernment, knowing that they would be beaten upon it, used to keep UP night after night until one or two o'clock, and then postpone it. At last we got rid of it by a side wind. W e got up one after another and asked when it was to be brought on, and the consequence was, that by throwing in that kind of quick sharp fire we got the Government to withdraw it altogether. I was, I must confess, a leader in that conspiracy— (cheers and laughter)—and if it be again introduced in the same shape I shall give it every opposition. (Cheers.) I am, as you know, a member of that constitutional body- e -the Opposition ; but I was told th e ot h er day that we were a defunct party. Now, I h o p e t h ere w i ll apalwreadystoboepapnosOepapllosuitniosra'—tisf(acheteoerrys)--an Opp os i t i on pre measures, but ready to support everything that may be for the dignity and honour of the country. (Cheers.) That is the principle of action with which every one ambitious of becoming a senator ought to be imbued. I have mentioned already the course we pursued with respect to the war. We gave it every support, although I for one think that, had the reins of Government been in firmer hands, it might have been altogether avoided ; but, having drifted into it, we felt it our duty, by liberally supplying the sinews of war, to enable her Majesty to carry it on in a manner con sistent with the national character. (Cheers.) It i s now , I think, too bad, after giving Governme n t that sup port, to be told that, as an Opposition, we are dead or obsolete or effete. Lord Palmerston himself never said that, but has, on the contrary, acknowledged the support we afforded him—(hear, hear)—and will find, that, when we come to matters of domestic legislation, we are alive and ready to oppose what measures - of his we may think worthy of condemnation. (Loud cheers.) J. J. ME O III, ESQ., AT WOODBRIDGE. The inhabitants of Suffolk invited Mr. Mechi to a public dinner at Woodbridge, as a mark of the esteem with which he is regarded, and as a small acknowledg hmaevnet of those nowfor u ma s n e y fu a years ea n rs d ho been s p a i s t s a o b o le gatherings ia te d w,hs which name. The dinner took place on Thursday evening, at the Bull Hotel, and passed off in a manner alike worthy of the generous and warm hearted people of the neighbour hood, as well as most flattering and honourable to their distinguished guest. Indeed such was the wish . evinced by all partieho do honour to Mr. Mechi, that the large room in which the dinner took place was completely crammed, and had it been arranged in a still more spa cious apartment, a great many more tickets could have been disposed of. Mr. MacHr (who wore his handsome chain of office) was ushered into the room shortly before six o'clock, when he was received with hearty rounds of cheering, a similar compliment being paid to A. Arcedeekoe, Esq., high sheriff of the county of Suffolk, who presided upon the occasion. He was supported on the right and left by the guest of the evening, and John Crosley, Esq., Under Sheriff for the City of London. The CHAIRMAN, in • proposing Mr. Mechi's health, said—They were all aware for what purpose they had assembled that evening, and everybody knew the gentle. man whose health he was about to propose. As an agriculturist, as a gentleman of the highest character, and a most hospitable man, Mr. Mechi wes known over the wide world. (Applause.) He (the chairman) did not believe there was a more hospitable, jolly, better sort of man in existence than their friend. (Prolonged cheers and "Bravo.") The night before the last gathering at Tiptree, he (the chairman) mentioned to some friends that he intended going, when one of them replied, "Goodness, gracious alive ! you will there see Swedish turnips growing on deal boards." (Great laughter.) " Surely," he said, " not without Suffolk guano has been used ?" (Continued laughter.) This brought to his mind a well-known anecdote of an old Norfolk far mer named Cooke. Some of his neighbours were dis cussing his merits as a farmer, when one of them made the following sage remark—" If yar mean to du as Cooke du, yar'ont du as yar du. du." (Roars of laughter.) As their time, however, was precious, Mr. Mechi having another engagement that evening to deliver an address at the Mechanics' Institution, where some ladies would be anxiously waiting for him—(laughter)--he (the chair man) would not detain the meeting with any further observations of his own, but would at one ask them to drink to Mr. Mechi's good health. (Three times three and one cheer more.) Mr. MEcHr, in returning thanks, said it was a great mark of affection that they had invited him there that day, and treated him in the hospitable manner in which they had done. He asked himself why it was—what he had done to merit their good esteem and their kind favours? The conclusion he had come to was, that they had forgiven him for any agricultural follies he had committed, and that after ten or a dozen years' reflection they thought that he was not quite so wrong as they had conceived him to be. (Hear, hear, and applause.) When he bought a farm or two he did to those farms what, its a man of buciness„ he thought was right and proper—that was to begin to spend money upon them, and to alter their unimproved condition. At that time there was great difference of opinion as to what improve. ments should be made. He believed that a great many of the farmers of England, at least many of the farmers of Suffolk, thought, ten or fourteen years ago, as they had all thought in their time, that the farming of Suffolk was not so had, and that the farming of England was not so bad after all, and that there was not eo very much to learn as he had pointed out ; but they must recollect this—that every year they were going on in their popu lation by'compound multiplication, which seemed to be such a favourite employment with Xnglishmen—(laugh ter)—and it was quite clear that that rapidly increasing population demanded a corresponding increase of pro. duction, which could not be carried out unless with im proved means—unless they invested in the soil, both on the part of the lan - dlord Med tenant, a very much larger amount of capital and intelligence. (Hear, hear.) Had it not been for their invitation to S u ff o lk, he should to day have been at the Witham agricultural meeting, where he should have seen the steam plough at work. Probably they were aware that there were two kinds of these ploughs now in use ; one was byMr. Fowler, which was worked with a wire rope, and which some of then might have seen in operation upon his (Mr. Mead's) farm ; and he might mention that his neighbour, Mr. Crump, had also bought one and was now using it ; but that gentleman's fields, it should be understood, were not limited to 3 or 4 acres, but were 20, 30, and 40 acres in size, so that he had no difficulty in that respect, and with his common engine he was working the steam plough satisfactorily, Then there was Mr. Boydell's engine, as seen at tbe Royal Agricultural Show at Chelms• ford, wsiking about like a mammoth, and which bad been doing work, which they would see reported in the dowicultural Gazette by a careful witness, after two days' close examination. It was stated that it drew ploughs after it, and cultivated land at a great depth at a cost of only one-fifth of that incurred in ploughing by horses, and that the work it was doing, which would cost 15s. by horse power, was done by it at 3s. Let them, how ever, give it 7s. 6d. in, and say it did for 10s. what with horses would cost 155., and see what the result of that saving would be to the agriculturist ; instead of the horses being obliged to leave off at half-past one or two o'clock, sometimes when the work was really wanting to be done, which was necessary to enable them to con tinue at work from day to day, they would find that if they bad a steam horse, they would not require to be quite so kind to it, "but would make hay while the sun shone." (Lau g hter.) He saw Mr. Boyden a day or two ago to arrange that one or two of his engines should form part of the civic prceession of the Lord Mayor elect —(applause)—for inasmuch as London could not do without country-made food, they censidered they should identify agriculture with commerce as closely as possible. (Hear, hear.) To return to Mr. Boydell, he (Mr. Mechi) had no hesitation in saying that his invention was one of those events in agriculture and in the annals of this country that would work one of the mightiest changes ever known ; and when be applied to Mr. Boy dell for his engine, he replied, "The Emperor of Russia will have both rue and my engine in a fortnight, to use in that country for various purposes, but above all for drawing cannon." (Hear, bear.) It was not a little remarkable that that engine would take a weight up or down a bill, or over a swamp, where horses could not go —a fact which he recently saw illustrated at the arsenal at Woolwich, which had an inclination of one in ten. He first saw ten strong artillery horses attached to a gun without being able to move it, but 12 being put on, they at last managed to get it up the hill ; whilst Boydell's engine took the gun (which weighed 10 tons and itself 12), up the hill, and what was still more difficult, down the hill too. Besides which, he was informed it had gone over rough ground and deep ravines in an extraordinary manner. (Hear, hear.) He mentioned these circum stances, because he thought they wore worth considera tion. He believed that as was the case at present with drills and travelling steam engines, an engine of the kind he had mentioned would also ere long be let out to work at so much per acre ; and he had yet to learn that a farmer would object to pay 2s. or 3s. an acre less to have his land ploughed two or three inches deeper than at present, and have it done at the critical moment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Boydell told him, with regard to the engine to which he had alluded, that not only had he endured the wearying anxiety of the invention, but that it cost him 10,0001. before he could produce it. (Hear, hear.) He believed a similar result had taken place in the case of Fowler's plough, and money had he'en spent for the public good, which he hoped would eventually be for the inventor's benefit. Let them not, therefore, threw cold water upon such inventions, but rather let them adopt them as soon as pOssible ; but if ever he visited their neighbourhood again (which he hoped, after the reception they had given him that evening, would not be long distant), he should be disappointed if he did not see a very considerable enlargement of their fields, and find their beautiful Suffolk horses somewhat super seded by the iron steamer ploughing their ground, which would consume coals instead of oats. (Cheers.) " But," some of them would ask, "what are we to do with our oats ?" Why, they must farm wheat after wheat, or take some other little liberty with the soil. (Laughter.) In conclusion, he would remark that he thought the ten dency of such meetings as the present was to make gentlemen think these matters over, and so improve agriculture. (Cheers.)—Abridged from the Ipswich, Journal. THE LATE EXTENSIVL ROTEL ROBBERY AT BOGNOR. BRIGHTON, OCT,. 17. At the West Sussex Quarter Sessions, held yesterday, (Friday) before R. Prime, Esq., chairman, and a full bench of magistrates, including bis Grace the Duke of Norfolk, John Richardson, aged 25, described as a baker, Wm. Shearing, 32, carpenter, and John Clark, 29, la bourer, were indicted for stealing a cash box, containing upwar:ls (4 2001., from the Claremont iLyel, Bognor, th property of Mr. Edwin Newman, the proprietor. Mr. Roupell prosecuted ; Mr. Wyatt defended Shearing and Richardson, and Mr. Johnson appeared for Clark. It was established by evidence that the prisoners were all three at the hotel, on the afternoon of the day in question, for about two hours, a portion of xvhich time they were in the bar, and two, if not the three men, were there alone for a short time. In a drawer in the bar the cash-box was kept, and at three o'clock it was all safe ; but some time after the prisoners had left the loss was discovered, and, in consequence of a telegraphic communication from Chichester the same night, the prisoners were captured at the London-bridge Station, having left by the 7.55 train from Chichester. Richard son was then seen to throw sometbiug out of the carriage window, which proved to be a roll of notes and a bank post bill, and the latter and several of the notes were identified by the prosecutor as part of the proceeds Of the robbery. The prisoners were found guilty, and a former convic. tion was proved against Richardson, who was sentenced to eight year.' penal servitude, and Shearing and Clark to four jean each. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Engineer corps of the Turkish Contingent have nearly completed depoSiting the stores brought from the Crimea in the places selected for them at the Ordnance stores, Chatham. The teen are under the command of Captain Allan, of the Turkish Engineer corps, and the stores, a great quantity of which are packed in casks, having been landed from the vessels and placed on the Gun-wharf, are unpacked and deposited in the store warehouses. An immense quantity of harness, used by the waggon-train, is now being unpacked and returned into store. A Chelsea board of commissioners from Chelsea Hos pital assembled yesterday morning at the office of Super intendent of the Invalid Establishment, Chatham, for the purpose of inspecting a number of non-commissioned officers and mon, selected from the 42d Highlanders, 74th Highlanders, 83th Connaught Rangers, 89th, 90th Light Infantry, and other regiments, the whole of whom were ordered to be discharged on pensions, being no longer fit for further service. Dr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8., (B) Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, assisted the commissioners in their inspection of the sick and dis abled men. The Tribune, 30, screw, Captain Harry Edgell, ar• rived at Rio Janeiro in 36 days from England. She found lying at. Rio her Majesty's ships Indefatigable, 50, Harier, 17, and Spy, 3 ; the American frigate Savannah and a corvette ; the Auguste, French frigate, from the Pacific, with several Brazilian men of war. The Tribune sailed on the 10th of September for the Pacific, going through the Straits of Magellan. The Siren, 16, was at the Falkland Islands. The Dragon, 6, steatnvessel, was inspected on Friday by Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, Commander in- Chief. The Cmiar, 91, Captain Robb, Colossus, 81, Captain Thompson, and the Ardent steam sloop, are ordered to prepare for sea. The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain St. Vincent King, arrived at Spithead on Thursday night from the Baltic. She will sail shortly for Plymouth. The Gorgon, paddle wheel steam loop, sailed from Spithead on Friday evening. The Industry, 2 guns, iron screw steam storeship, of 80-horse power, Master Commander John E. Petley, ar rived at Sheerness yesterday at 9.30 a. m. from Plymouth and Portsmouth ; she has brought round 105 supernu merary seamen, general service men, to join the flag-ship Waterloo—for disposal. The Terrible, 21 guns, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, was brought down yesterday from her harbour moorings at Sheerness, by the steam-tug vessels Myrtle and African, and taken into the basin. She is ordered to be put into dry dock for survey and to make good defects. The Industry store-ship left Sheerness yesterday, at noon, for Woolwich. The Calypso, 23, has been undocked at Chatham, where she has undergone some extensive repairs. She has been ordered to be brought forward for commission. The African steam-vessel, from Sheerness, and the iron paddle-wheel steamer Triton, lately paid off at Wool wich by Lieut. Fletcher, were admitted into basin at Woolwich yesterday. The Triton's boilers are to be re moved. She is to be new decked, and to undergo thorough repairs. The Ann and the Fly, dockyard craft, are being new rigged, and to undergo casual repair. The demolition of the screw steam-sloop Rattler, over run with dry rot, and consequently ordered to be broken up at Woolwich, is nearly completed. As the separation of the timbers progressed it was discovered that the disease had extended to every department of the ship. This was a matter of considerable astonishment, as the vessel has been scarcely 14 years afloat. The fl.)atiog factory Chasseur has been ordered up from the Royal Arsenal to Woolwich dockyard, and is to be retained, without removal of the factory engines, in the service of the Admiralty. The folio wing promotions have been made by the Board of Admiralty for the Transport Service during the late war : Commander H. J. Laeon, to the rank of Captain ; Lieut. M. H. Rodney and Lieut. A. D. W. Fletcher, to the rank of Commander. To be Captains on the Re served List—Commanders John Tudor and Chas. Star mer. To be Commanders on the Reserved List—Lieuts. C. Wise, T. A. Lewis, C. K. Scott, and J. G. Ray mond. The following appointments were made yesterday at ;he Admiralty :7-- John J.

Joseph Nias, C. 8., the Superintendent of the Royal William Victualling Yard, is still holding its sittings, and the investigation is being pursued at great cost to the public, and, of course, to the great detriment of the service—for it is impossible that such proceedings as these can be instituted and carried on for weeks witti out much expense, and without the persons, who are the subjects of teem, being withdrawn from the performance of their usual duties. Fourteen charges have been pre- i ferred by the storekeeper against his chief ; but what they are all about has not been transmitted to transpire. We hope that we shall one day have an opportunity of making them known. The feeling of suspicion that the public have against all these naval tribunals has not been lessened by the recent decision in the case of Dr, Budd. They are no more trusted than the military tri bunals, and the public are consequently most keenly alive to their proceedings. Capt. Nias is, however, about to try his strength in another court. We hear that he has instituted proceedings against a local journalist, for some remarks upon his public conduct. If he should carry his case into a court of law he may find he has different materials to deal with in a jury to those which lie is accustomed to meet with in brother officials.—Plymouth Journal. MILITARY SPORTS AT CHATHAM. CHATHAM, OCT. 17. The flue open surface known as Chatham Lines was this afternoon the scene of a variety of athletic sports and old English games by the troops stationed at this garrison, in which the non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the provisional battalion, under the command of Colonel Jervis ; the corps of Royal Marines, commanded by Colonel J. A. Phillips ; the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the direction of Colonel H. Sandham, R.E. ; and the depot of the Medical Staff Corps, in charge of Major S. G. Banbury, took part. It had been arranged that the spoils and games should have taken place yesterday, and extensive arrangements had been made for that purpose, but, owing to the in cessant rain which fell all sport was out of the question, and they were postponed until this afternoon. The idea of giving the troops a day's sport originated with a few officers belonging to the garrison, and on Colonel Eden, the commandant, being communicated with, he not only gave his consent, but entered warmly into the whole undertaking, the first of the kind ever attempted at this military station to provide healthy and elevating amuse ments for the troops. A committee of officers was at once formed to make the necessary arrangements, con sisting of Major H. Marriott, Royal Marines ; Major G. B. Rodney, Royal Marines ; Major S. G. Banbury, Medical Staff Corps; Brigade-Major C. S. S. E. Gordon, 76th Regiment; Captain W. Lyons, sth Fusiliers; Cap tain Fitzroy Somerset and Captain F. Brine, Royal Engineers. A sufficient sum was promptly raised to en able the committee to give a variety of prizes to be con tended for. As soon as the programme of the sports was announced the greatest interest was manifested by the whole of the troops stationed here, and the entries for the various races and games quickly filled, there being no fewer than between 70 or 80 competitors for some of the stakes. The day unfortunately was dull, and gave early in dications of rains, but notwithstanding this drawback, a large concourse cf persons assembled On Chatham Lines to witn'rs the sports. Nearly the whole of the troops of the garrison were also present, having been dismissed from their barrack duties for tLat purpose. The place selected for the sports was a portion of the racecourse, where a large stand had been eree,ed, capable of accom modating several hundred persons; and this was filled by officers and ladies, together with a large number of visitors. The sports consisted of foot races, vaulting, throwing the hammer, putting the shell backwards and forwards, walking in heavy marching order, jumping, wrestling, &c., in several of which the officers were com petitors side by side with the men. The bands of the Royal Marines and the Royal Engineers were in atten dance, and stationed in the vicinity of the grand stand. The stewards for carrying out the arrangementi R.M. ; Major S. G. Bun were Major 11. Marriott, bury, and Capt. W. Lyons, sth Fasiliera. Major G. B. Rodney acted as starter, Major c. S. S. E. Gordon as judge, and Capt. F. Brin e , to whom the troops are indebted for the amusements, performed the duties of clerk of the course in a very efficient manner. There was a large number of carriages on the course, occupied by the families of the principal officers of the garrison. The first foot race was open to the whole of the corps of Royal Sappers and Miners. The course was 300 yards ; and it was won by Corporal Pennington, Private Ward being second. The Marine plate for the same dis tance was won by Private Bloomfield ; Private Titlow second, and Private Parsons third. The next race, for which there were 34 entries, was open to the whole of the troops belonging to the provisional battalion, and was won cleverly by Private Killigan, 60th Rifles ; Private Wilford, 81st Regiment, being second ; and Privat e Marylon, 27th Inniskillens, third. There was also a race by the men belonging to the Medical Staff Corps, which was won by an orderly of thatcorps named Flint. The most amusing of this kind of sport was afoot race between a number of veterans who have recently returned wounded from the late seat of war. The dis tance was 100. yards, and there were six entries for this " veterans' scramble," several of the men . being sup-• ported on crutches. The prize was won by Private Moore, of the 88th Connaught Bangers; Private Willis EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT TEE COLCII6STBR (From the Chelmsford Chronicle.) On Wednesday the parade ground of the camp in the vicinity of Colchester presented the remarkable scene of a public dismissal from her Majesty's service of Lieut. Saunders, an English officer of one of the cavalry regi ments of the British German Legion encamped here, for insubordination. Frora inquiries, we learn that Lieut. Saunders had tendered his resignation, which Gen. Btut• terheim declined to accept, when the lieutenant not only refused to do the duty he was ordered, but made use of some most offensive and unofficer like expression towards the general, who had placed him under arrest to await his trial by court-martial. Lieut. Saunders refused to be arrested, and mounting his horse, endeavoured to ride out of the camp, w h e n th e sen t r ies on duty at the gate ways w en t d own on th e i r k nees w ith fixed bayonets, and repulsed th e h orse, an d t h e r id e - , w h o wa s paraded, was surrounee 1, and taken into camp. The affair was corn rnunieae d t t 1 einoniandsr-; -"hief, the Duke of Cam bridge, who (....etsidered that as thelegiou was so soon the be di s b an d e d , i t w& td n t be advisab e to submit tile, matter f or trial b y general e, ureinaieial. His Roya , flightless, tio vever, desired Maj el:soigne, com• wending the camp, to asf emble the whole of the officers and some men of each regiment, and in the most public manner to reprehend Limit. Saunders for his mutinous and disgraceful and unofficerl ke cr nduct o and dismiss him from her Majesty's service. At 10 o'cloc):: on Wed; teed ay morning the officers and men formed three .side , °' a scpare on the parade ground, in the centre of Which Ma:o •-(.; en Ca coigne and sta4l and Gen. Stutterheim a." st all, took up their position, when Lieut. Saunders, divested of his sword, was marched in as a prisoner by the adju tant of his regiment. Gen. Gascoigne having read aloud the Duke of Cambridge's letter, proceeded t) address Lieut. Saunders in plain and outspoken terms, observing that he was greatly surprised to find an ( fficsr of his experience so far forgetting himself as to be guilty of a 3 flagrant a b reach of military discipline and ineubordina thin towards his commanding officer. He might consider himself extremely fortunate in not being tried before a general court-martial, when he would most assuredly have been cashiered ; but it was now his duty to pros nounee his dismissal from her Majesty's service, not in cnnsequeeoe of hi s res i gnat i on, b ut through his insubor dination. If he left with the feeling that he had gained his point by getting out of the service, after the severe remarks of the Duke of Cambridge, in which he was as sured the whole of the officers present concurred, he did not envy him his feelings, and he now desired him to leave the parade, as he was no longer an officer. Lit'ut. Saunders made no reply, and Gen. Gescoig,ne, turning to the officers, said he would take that oppertuuity of thanking them, and their veteran Col. von Hacke, for the extreme willingness and good temper they had displayed. in the performance of their duties, especially at the time, they knew they were to be disbanded. He felt sure tha.t no English troops could have behaved better than the Briesh German Legion, and, notwithstanding the ferers entertained by the townsfolk, on their arrival from Col chester, they would, on theirdeparture, carry with them. the good will and opinion of the inhabitants.. Whenever be went to London he was ask e dly his friends, " Well s how du you get on with your Germans I" and be was al ways proud of being able to answer, "They give me less trouble than I ever had, and a better set of men I never wish to °minuend." Gen. Stutterheim briefly acknow• 'edged the compliment, and shaking hands with Gen. Gascoigne, expressed to that officer the pleasure the offi cers, non commissioned officers, and men of the British German Legion felt in serving under suchja commanding officer, and that the kindness they had received from him would be recollected when they were scattered tlirough various parts of the globe. The troops then dispersed, Lieutenant Saunders marched off the parade with the adjutant, and the same day quitted the camp. EXTENSIVE CLOTH ROBBLRY AT HUDDERS FIELD-VIOLENT CONFLICT TVITII 'THAI ROBBERS. On Thursday last, five powerful ruffians, named *Tames Atkinson, George Brook, John Hardcastle, Saeeuel Patchett, and Abraham Appleyard, were tried before H. W. Wickham, Esq , M.P., at tba West Riding Session a, at Leeds, upon the charges of breaking into the ware house of Mr. Wm. Walker, at Longwood, near 'rudders. field, and stealing ten ends of cloth, worth 1001. The ca,e h'as excited very considerable interest in the West Itidieg, from the fact that the prisoners formed part of a gang of roh.,ers who have from time to time committed extensive and daring depredations at Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, and other places, from some of which towns woollen goods have been stolen in one night al most sufficient to load a waggon. Front the evidence adduced on the prisoner's trial, it ap peared that the prosecetor, Mr. Walker, is a merchant and. manufacturer of woollen cloth at Longwood, near Hudders field. During the night of the Ist of Aug. his warehouse was br , ken open, and ten ends of black woollen cloth car ried of Information was given at once to the police, and Mr. Heaton, superintendent of the Huddersfield police, took the requisite steps to detect the thieves. Nothing was heard or the matter for some time ; but at length it oc curred to Mr. Heaton that it would be well to examine various places in the neighbourhood. Among other places searched was a building at Quarmby, formerly used as a school, but at present the meeting-place of one or two denominations of dissenters. In the ceiling of this building is a trap-door or man-hole, giving admis sion ,to a space lietween the ceiling and the roof. An cuhdoeaomt uamtbhn ti and a o n tli d ee t r he e r : n en f t on t u h d ro e u i g a h ht t e h r e ids tr o a f p- h d l e a o c r k- i c i l i o to th. th w e hi f e a h lse by ro t o h f e , tickets, numbers, and other marks, were identified as eight of the Lou ends stolen.

At that hour, the prisoners Brook and Atkinson came along the road, entered the barn, and subsequently walked towards Quarneby-fold. They were followed by five or six other men, and all went to the setteel where the cloth was concealed. One of these men, the prisoner Patchett, was carrying a new plank. These men unlocked the door of the school with a skele ton key, and entered, while Appleyard kept watch at the vide of the garden where the officers were concealed, and only separated front them by a low wall and iron palisading. The men, who had entered the school reared the plank so as to give access to the man-hole ; but at this moment Appleyard saw or heard something in the garden, and running towards the . sehool, shouted " All away, all away I " The men rushed out, and the officers were upon them immediately. A severe struggle ensued, the result being the capture of Brook and Atkinson, and the escape of the others. During the struggle, Brook cut open the face of a constable with a dark lantern he carried, and afterwards atteznpted to brain him with a heavy life preserver. He was, however, secured. Later the same night, Hardeastle was apprehended at Wyke, near Bradford, at which time his shoes and trousers were quite wet, and the shoes were also warm. Next morning Patchettand the other prisoners were apprehended at their homes, where some housebreak ing implements and a new w an r a e i th, s rtooeuvostiaeeadtdannibnaodenuydttoirndot beyond se themselves e a r hl trousers ma d e o f black cloth of the same kind as that stolen were found.

SALT AND THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPAlir.—Mr. Salt, after faithfully and honestly t•erving the London and North-Western Rail way Company for thirteen years, during which time he has receivA the most' flattering compliments from the directors and the public, has had his engagements sud denly and unexpectedly brought to a termination. This has arisen in consequence of his misconstruction of a minute of the board, referring to the casual employment of any of the servants of the company for purposes not iMwediately connected with the serv►ce of the company. Mr. Salt, it appears, did not .conceive this minute to refer to certain hours, when the porters under his charge were'n• - it required by the business of the company. t he directors'. opinio,n of the Minute did not coincide with that of Mr. Salt, and hence the termination of his cer vices with the company. c-- c-, - -"A_ce.e-c.-. c 'h> NEWSp A 'Eli ' , ,e tt - 11th Hussar s , b e i ng second ; a.nd Ibivate Jacks ..... ‘. - "2 A Fusiliers, third.

Between the races there were amuse• ments provided, consisting of jumping in sacks, vault ing, wheelbarrow racing, arid other games, which caused much delight to the troops, who entered into them with the keenest relih. A race called the "Gar rison Melee," of one mile, open to the vvhole garrison, was won by Ensign Devereux, 87th Royal Irish Fusi liers. There was also the Lilliputian Handicap, con tended for by the drummer boys and buglers, the winner be ng Bugler Larkins, 29th Regiment. The Officers' .Bunt Stakes, of 408 yards, over eight hurdles, were won by E ns i gn M a k g ill, E as t I n di a C om p an y' s S erv i ce, and a nother race of the same kind b y P r i vate Kerwan, of th e R oyal Sapp ers an d Mi n ers.

The experiment eminently successful, and at the same time reflects the highest credit on the originators. They are to be re peated next year on a larger scale.
