A large and influential audience was collected in the Music-hall, 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 had 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 patriot . c, 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 be was sure 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 he 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 bim 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, be 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 byexclaiming—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 n this t h e; banks while t the P thea tpha e e 3, P a l p i v a e c e y , li v b e e s r t n y o t h e e i ling e c Tiber. The Papacy upholds Austrian tyranny , and the t an ex e i ff st ec o t oppression of all Italy; and we Italians consecrate it a supreme duty to get rid of the Papacy as tho princ i p al cause of all our miseries—that Papacy which is ever ready to bless the ensanguined 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 Italy. 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 hon our . (Ch eers .) Mr. L. JONES proposed a resolution, pledging the meeting to open forthwith a subscription, to be handed to the Italian National Committee, to be applied by them in such ways as they may deem expedient, for as sisting in the emancipation of their country. Mr. Councillor .PATTEESON 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 defendent'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 he 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 k ee p er Wh a t h e was going to do with the lad, and they interfered and took him away. A scuffle ensued, when th e k ee p e r lifted up his gun, which was laid on the turnpike road, and which was on full cock, an d h e attempted to strike the d e f en d an t s with it. Fearing it should be discharged they seized the keeper, and they all fell down together. They said they did not mtf Here to assault him, but only to take thn gun from him, so that he might not in his passion shoot them. The defendants called several witnesses, the first of whom, Sarah Drew, said she saw the gamekeeper lift up his gun, and strike at the defendant, Alfred Woodhouse, but the other defend an t, George, arded 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 bad un ful possession of the bird, and that the keeper was per fectly justified in taking it from him without using un necessary violence, which ho submitted he 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.

(From the Chdmsford: ts :ohn s ie e l r e v ) ice of Lieut. On WedneSday the parade ground of the camp in the vicinity of Colchester presented the remarkable sce ne o f " Sau Pu nd b e li r c s, d a i n sm E is r s ig al lis f h ru o n ffi t c h e e r r o o Majest y 's ai ne of th e cavalry regi ments of the British German Legion en camped here, for insubordination. From inquiries, we le arn that Lieut. & Saunders bad tendered his resignation, whi c h Gen. ut• terheim declined to accept, when the lieutena n t not only some esed mostto do the offensivedu and ty u n hewoaffic was ° e r rk d l e t ra e d e but' made use of 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, when the sentries on duty at the gate ways went down on their knees with fixed bayonets, and repulsed the horse, and the rider, who was paraded, was surrounde I, and taken into camp. The affair was com municatsd tit e t!ommander-in-Chief, the Duke of Cam bridge, who considered that as the legion was so soon to mr be aai i d thd ib e s ni rne and gsfs the hh e d e tor, however, trial l t would t nv ebpry: tog desireden le assemblera t be general car the hrr d_ et v G. i t a ne ' wholet l.

Saunders for his mutinous and disgraceful and unofficerlike conduct, and dismiss him from her Majesty's service. At 10 o'clock on Wed nesday morning the officers and men formed three sides of a square on the parade ground, in the centre which Majo:-G en 'Gascoigne and staff and Gen. Stutterheim and staff,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 to address Lieut. Saunders in plain and outspoken terms, observing that he was greatly surprised to find an officer of his experience so far forgetting himself as to be guilty of 23 flagrant a breach of military discipline and iusubordina tint' 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 pro nounce his dismissal from her Majesty's service, not in consequeaoe of his resignation, but 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. Lieut. Saunders made no reply, and Gen. Gascoigne, turning to the officers, said he would take that opportunity of thanking them, and their veteran Col. von Hacke, for the extreme willingness and good temper they bad displayed in the performance of their duties, especially at the time they knew they were to be disbanded. He felt sure that no English troops could have behaved better than the British German Legion, and, notwithstanding the fears entertained by the townsfolk, on their arrival from Col chester, they would, on their departure, carry with th em the good will and opinion of the inhabitants. Whenever he went to London he was asked by his friends, " Well, how do you get on with your Germans ?" and to 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 command." Gen. Stutterheim briefly acknow ledged 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 Gorman Legion felt in serving under snchla commanding officer, and that the kindness they h a d rece i ve d f rom hint would be recollected when they were scattered through 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. The Cossar, 91, Captain Robb, Colossus, 81, Captain Thompson, and the Ardent steam sloop, are ordered to prepare for sea.

Petley, ar rive i 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 fliating 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.

On Thursday last, five powerful ruffians, named James Atkinson, George Brook, John Hardcastle, Samuel Patchett, and Abraham Appleyard, were tried before H. W. Wickham, Esq , M.P., at the West Riding Sessions, at Leeds, upon the charges of breaking into the ware house of Mr. Win. Walker, at Longwood, near Hudders field, and stealing ten ends of cloth, worth 1001. The case has excited very considerable interest in the West Riding, from the fact that the prisoners formed part of a gang of robbers 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. From the evidence adduced on the prisoner's trial, it op peered that the prosecutor, Mr. Walker, is a merchant and manufacturer of woollen cloth at Longwood, near Hudders field. During the night of the let of Aug. his warehouse was briken open, and ten ends of black woollen cloth car ried off. 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 of 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 between the ceiling and the roof. An officer went through the trap-door into the false roof, and there found eight ends of black-cloth, which by the tickets, numbers, and other m ar k s , were identifi e d as fetch it away, the sup er int en dent and several other eightoffi w ho of the e t d e e t n h d e s s s t t o e l l e e n e . p F r e e e p l e i n r g ty satisfiedw ould that eem th e a o e s d e pers c ncealed themselves in an adjacent mistal and watched night by night from the 25th of Aug. to the Ist of Sept. ; and then the officers removed from the rs Brook 11 h e o y ' c c l cnk and subsequently walked towards Quarmby-f o ld .

One of these men, the prisoner Patchett, was carrying a new plank. Tnese men unlocked the door of the school with a skele ton key, and entered, while Appleyard kept watch at the side of the garden where the officers were concealed, and only separated from 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 school, shouted "All away, all away ! " 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 witha dark lantern to cerried, and afterwards attempted to brain him with a heavy life preserver. He was, however, secured. Later the same night, Hardcastle was apprehended at Wyke, near Bradford, at which time his shoes and trousers were quite wet, and the shoes were also warm. Next morning Patchett and the other prisoners were apprehended at their homes, where some housebreak ing implements and a new waistcoat and trousers made of black cloth of the same kind as that stolen were found. E. Shaw, himself a convict, related a conversation which he had with Hardcastle on the morning after the rob bery, when Hardcastle described its circumstances, and stated that the cloth had been planted where it would re• main for three weeks, or a month.

THE NEWSPAPER PRESS AND THE COURTS OP LA ITT IN SCOTLAND. In the Dumbarton lleralcrof the lfith inst. a blank column is surmounted by the following paragraph : "THE PRESS IN Boxps. 7 --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. Colquhoun 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 : i 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 Samuel 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 th&petitionan 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 a.vizandum with the case with a view to judgment. That in the state of the action the 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 thatths 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 dence 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 from pinting and pub lishing, in his said newspaper or otherwise, any report or account of the said action, or of the proceedings had 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 justice, (Signed) Thomas Dunbar. Drawn by (Signed) Jas. Mackibbin, Petra. pror. Dumbarton, 11th October, 183g.—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 -lordahip waa well aware the thing was done every day in the supreme courts of the country; 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 np, 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 hank/ 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 in the way he had been, he was compelled to seek such reparation as the law afforded, he 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 one sitting, and hence newspapers could not influence th e decision in any way by publishing the evidence. Th erefore, though there might bo 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, he 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 parties 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 do.3nment was not before the court. Acting, as he had scud, 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 s g some mistake here, as a wr i tten i nterlocutor i n a sma ll a de s b m tla debt Sew action, asa thing i n o fmanifestlyar aas h e was illegal. aware, The an d action h ah t e was re fore thought it more likely that the Sheriff Principal would deliver judgment iu Dumbarton himself. Mr. Colquhoun made another attempt to enlighten his lordship as to the injustice of the application, but without effect, and the interdict was pronounced to be peremptory. The , aggrieved journal comments upon these proceedings in 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 heard iu open court. In illustration of our statement we refer to the proceedings which took place before Sheriff Steelo 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 lucre phantom ; for in every county in Scotland there site a censor more mischievous than oven 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 prodeedings 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 mod?ts operandi :--- " SINGULAR SMALL DEBT CASE.— AFNA.UGHT V.

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> W/sTeil's Land, Dumbarton, had caught and plucked five ,or six of his pigeons, or that such were in her cellar.. Mrs. M'Naught immediately summoned Campbell to the Small Debt Court for damages for defamation of charaeter, and produced. sundry witnesses, who proved that Mrs. WNanght's son had received the pigeon from som e o f hi s ec mpanions in the street, and that Mrs. •M`Naught never hid any pigeons in her cellar. The pursuer produced ample proof to satisfy the sheriff that she never had any pigeani)in her posses sion, and other parties, who proved thas the defender had used the expressions complained of. The, sheriff exone rated Mrs. 31'1\1 - aught of any slander Which might have arisen by the report, cautioning Campbell, the defender, and found him liable to the pursuer is I.o4,damages and expenses." SIR iTOHN TROLLOPR'S OPINIONS ON THINGS IN GENERA. L. At the anniversary of the Grantham Agrictiltnral So ciety on Friday " the health of the members for the county of Lincoln" having been proposed and drunk with enthusiasm, Sir J. TROLLOPE, 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 cur 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 returned to this country a short time before the close of the last seg. 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 haveco o n n tr ly ac d te u d rin o g n his jcurney 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 still remains, 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 thattime, but for a period loeg before his lordship entered She 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. Whenev er t h e 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 anel 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 be done in the coming 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 Englishmen 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, I 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, and our duty is to see thatit be properly carried out. Yesterday we had, in the Court-house of Lincoln, a meeting of the magistraoy 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 for the education of the people. (Hear, near.) That is a subject on which men's minds naturally differ, and, unfortunately, one element—the religious ton r c ift the" i ttahhi : 11 , 'ei.i:un 1 other element—has interposed so much in connection with it as to prevent the peeing of any measure thereon. I, for my part, must 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 the farmers to make certain returns, and punish. ing with pains and penalties if they made any error in 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 un o s a a tittco t gorr i ooee s tkrpt fa eul c p;rpl t arl o btao r hucoo y eetff .i n its w tetgm:y o ubi r osit l et s hfr i m n mooo g ff hire,ars this acres di i yst l i ffii than is easy the difficult arl aot sbw p ylyf r ionc o rt agdehnul enoughali cannot in inn e oygt otygpfotoiaovaudr give ntoiwacat uhiksllman'saaeta stronger farm were day in my own neighbourhood. A small grower l`braehed a bag of corn, and calculated from it that he vsetiLd have a yield of 20 quarters from what he had sown, but when he thrashed the whole crop he had uetilitty:, If only ninis quarters. I give you thi s as an exa mple of how difficiult it is for a m an t o ca l cu l ate upon th e re turn of his . crop, and how mu c h h e may b e d ece i ve d i n it. (Hear.) The returns which the farmers are re quired to make, if they are to be of any use for statis tical purpesee, must be made s i mu l taneous ly, an d a t once compiled. If they are to take as long a time as the counting of the people—namely, th ree years — an d fi gures representing men can be a s easily counted as those re presenting quarters of corn , or even if they be three mo nths in being compiled , they cannot possibly be of the slightest practical use to the a griculturists. At the best ca n only give a very rough estimate of the quantity t corn in the country. Such is the case with pe res he agricultural statistics of Ireland, in which country the., 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 calculations accord ingly. Th ey wo uld not, as I said before, benefit you ra ilways, and other facili and the only portion of the people which they could at all benefit is the comneercial community, to regulate by them the balance of foe'eign exchange ; and persons of above all, have we not de that class, I find, call for them more loudly than we do. the price of corn, without tiest n B ua de mand od h f a ao v no e dn we ne supplynotun i o a telegraphs!it oio rne regulate ul and, ate having recourse to agricultural statistics ! (Hear, h ear .) The whole system proposed is a false cne, and is likely to prove vexatious to t he farm ers, and therefore I op. and lease the persons mak nuns her of acres under crop, posed it. There cannot be the least objection to tell the 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 Ow discussion, but never came on, as the Gce and the consequence vernment, knowing that they would be beaten upon th o a n t , kind of quick sharp ig e n n ht t to withdraw it altogether. o'clock,it, usecl andto l 't t e n e e p n us postponenight a i f t t . e r A n night hl last t u n w t e i l gotone r rid dr of f w i o t by a side wi ad.

(Cheers.) That is the principle of action with: vi hich every one ambitious of becoming a senator ought to be imbued. I have mentioned already the course we . enrsued with respect to the war.

(Cheers.) It is now, I think, too ba sl, after giving Government that sup port, to be told that, as au Opposition, we are dead or obsolete or eff ate.

(Loud cheers.) J. J. MEORI, .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 regnriled, and as a small acknowledg ment of those useful and hospitable gatherings which Lave now for many years been associated with his name. The dinner took place on Thursday evening, at the Bull Hotel, and passed off in a manner alike worthy of the generous and warns hearted people of the neighbour hood, as well as most flattering and honoureble to their distinguished guest. Indeed such was the wish evinmd by all parties to do honour to Mr. Mechi, that the large room in which the dinner took place was completely crammed, abd had it been :arranged in a still more spa cious apartment, a great many more tickets could have been disposed of. Mr. MICCIII (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. Arcedeckne, Esq., high sheriff of the county of Suffolk, who presided upon the occasion. He was supported on the rielit and left by the guest of the evening, and John Crosley, Esq., Under Sheriff for the City of Loudon. 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 (tbe 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 Las 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 mE aa to du as Cooke • du, yar'out 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 ones. ask them to drink to Mr. Mechi's good health. (Three times three and one cheer more.) Mr. MECRI, 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 est3em 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, as a man, of business„ 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 bad, and that the farming of England was not so bad after all, and that there was nut so 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 Euglishmen—(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 landlord and tenant, a very much larger amount of capital and intelligence. (Hear, hear.) Had it not been for their invitation to Suffolk, he should to day have been at the Witham agricultural meeting, where be 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 by Mr. Fowler, which was worked with a wire rope, and which some of then] might have seen in operation upon his (Mr. Mechi'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 the Royal Agricultural Sho w at Chelms ford, walkiog about like a mammoth, and which had been doing work, which they would see reported in the Agricultural Oazette 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 ; insteail of the horses being obliged to leave off at halt-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." (Laughter.) He saw Mr. Boydell 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 considered they should identify agriculture with commerce as closely as possible. (Hear, hear.) To return to Mr. Boydell, he (Mr. Mechi) bad 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 me and my engine in a fortnight, to use in that country for various purposes, but above all for drawing cannon." (Hear, hear.) It was hot a little remarkable that that engine would take a weight up or down a hill, 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 extra.ordinary manner. (Hear, hear.) He mentioned these circum stances, because he thought they were worth considera tion. lie believed that as was the case at present with drills and travelling steam engines, an engine of the kind he had mentioned would also era long be lot 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 bad he endured the wearying anxiety of the invention, but that it cost him 10,000/. 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 been 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 Ipswid Journal. THE LATE EXTENSIVE HOTEL 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 his 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 upwards of 2001., from the Claremont Hotel, Bognor, the 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 which 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 something 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 years' penal servitude, and Shearing and Clark to four years each. MILITARY SPORTS AT CHATHAM. CHATHAM, OCT. 17. The fine 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 officcrs and men belonging to the provisional battalion, under the command of Colonel H. 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. Bunbury, took part. It had been arranged that the sports 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 troop 3 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 ev er a tt em pt e d 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. Bunbury, 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 ‘vitn , AS the sports.
