FOREIGN-OFFICE, SEPT. 19. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint George John Robert Gordon, Esq., now her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires and Consul-General to the Oriental Republic of the Uruguay, to be her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary to the Swiss Confederation. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 4. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary a State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Minister at Stockholm, inclosing a translation of a Proclamation issued by the Swedish Ministry of Marine (copy of which is subjoined), notifying the " Flagmarke which have been set up on cer tam shoals in the Gulf of Bothnia. (Copy.) (Translation.) • The Royal Administration of Marine announces, for the information and guidance of Mariners, that according to his Majesty's gracious command, a great flagmark has been setjn p on the east side of each of the two Fningrunds, and on Grundkallegrund, situated in the South Qrarken, east of " Grason," viz.:— EAST FIJINGUIIND, the shallowest portion of which is hardly 2 fathoms deep, with an extent 'of about 700 fathoms in length, from W.S. W. to E.N.E., in an average of 4 fathoms of water. East of the shallowest spot. at a distance of about 500 fathoms, 5i fathoms deep, a large mark is moored, the iron cone of which bears an iron pole 12 feet long, painted white, and furnished at the top with a large red ball, which is visible at a distance of geographical mile. This shoal can be sounded up to from the north. WEST FIIINGRII ND has its shallowest spot only from sto 7 feet water. The shoal, which is of a triangular form, has its longest sides 4 and 703 fathoms in length in the respective directions of N.W. and S.E. About 330 fathoms from the shallowest point, and east of the same, in 6i fathoms water, a mark is set up of similar size and form to that on the east shoal, but its pole is painted red and its ball white ' • it also is visible at a distance of geographical mile. This shoal cannot be sounded up to from the north side with any security. GRUNDICALLEGRUND. At this extensive shoal, the limits of which are not fixed, are found alternately, deep water np to 10 fathoms and more, great pieces of rock, and isolated stones, one of which is visible above the water. East of one of these shallow points, which has however no stone above the water, a large mark is moored, which has a pole 15 feet long, the upper end of which furnished with a red streamer. The mark stands in a depth of 9 fathoms, and about 3.30 fathoms from the Shallows itself. This mark is visible about a geographical mile off in favourable weather. So far as is known, this shoal, the extent of which from N. to S. is about a geographical mile, cannot be sounded up to. To avoid it, one must keep eastward till Understen, or some other known spot comes in sight, by which the course can be shaped. All the directions here given are reckoned by well-regulated compasses. Stockholm, August 18, 1854. &JAM OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 5. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul-General at Christiania, modifying the regulations respecting quaran tine for cholera on the south coast of Norway, of which the following is a copy. (Copy.) (Translation.) By the , highest authority it has been graciously re solved : First—That along the whole coast from the Swedish frontiers to Bergen, that town and harbour, with channels loading to it, all restrictions with respect to cholera on vessels arriving from an infected or uninfected port in the country or abroad, are annulled, unless during the voyage they have had, or on arrival they have, any one on board sick of, or dead from, malignant cholera ; in which case qurrantine will have to be observed in conformity with the 1 T, of the Royal Resolution of the 25th June, 1849. Second—That with respect to the quarantine in the ports of the kingdom, the same rule is to be observed as regards vessels arriving from a national port, but conform able to the existing regulations for vessels arriving from foreign ports. Third—That all quarantine against cholera in infected places is abrogated. (Signed) PETERSEN. R.CEDER. Tlae Royal Norwegian Marino Department, Sept. 21, 1854. BOARD OF TRADE, WMTEIIALL, OCT. 5. The Right Hon, the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a de spatch from her Majesty's Consular • Agent, at Ditavia, transmitting, a proclamation of the 23d June, 1854, by which the Government of Netherlands India have declared the ports of Aurboyna ' Bands, Tematte, and Rajahs free ports ; and in the closed or smaller ports of the Moluccas, gouda shipped by native crafts from the above ports, and vice verso, are to be exempt from import and export dales. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 6. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received. through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Rotterdam, inclosing a Notice to Mariners, issued by the Netherlands. Minister of Marine (a translation of which is subjoined), relative to the lighting of the Coast Lights on the Island of Schiermonnikoog. (Copy.) (Translation) NOTICE TO MARINERS. The Minister of Marine gives further notice that the lights on the two newly-erected lighthouses on the Island of Schiermonnikoog have been lighted on the evening of Ist of September for the first time, and since that day burn every night from sunset to sunrise ; that the two fixed lenticular lamp lights aforesaid, being of the third size, are each placed on a round tower of stone, on the sandhills, standing N.W. by N. and. S.E. by S., at. a dis tance of 1008 Netherland ells (3211 Rhineland feet) from each other. . . . . The most southerly and highest light stands 44.9 ells (143 Rhineland feet) above ordinary high water, in 53 dog. 23 m. 56 s. northern latitude, and 6 deg. 9 m. 49 e. longi tude east of Greenwich ; illumines a bow of the horizon of 245 deg., namely, from E.N.E. through the north and west, to the south. The most northerly light stands 42.30 ells (135 Rhine land feet) above ordinary high water, in 53 deg. 29:n. 14 s. northern latitude, and 6 deg. 9 m. 3 s. longitude east of Greenwich ; a bow of the horizon of 135 deg., and likewise from E.N.E. through the north, to W.N.W. According to observations taken from the deck of a pilot boat, with the eye 31 Netherland ells (11 Rhineland feet) above the surface of the water, it appears-- That the Lights of Schierwonnikoog, bearing W (rather west), and at the same time the Light of Borkum, bearing S.E. 4 S. at the depth of fully 7 a 8 fathoms, are lost sight of or declined (and the most northerly first) at a distance of fully 3l German sea miles (14 English miles). These lights, bearing S.E. by S. to S.E., with the eye at the same elevation above the surface of the water, then at 14 fathoms depth, with fine greyish sand bottom and with the lights level with the ho. izon to the eye, steering S.W. by S. and S.S.W. towards the coast, the most northerly light disappears in the E.S.E. (rather east), being there at 54 and nearly 6 fathoms' depth, close against the Auieland shore, the steeple of Nes on ekeneland bearing S.W., which cross -bearing accordingly gives a distance there of fully 34 m il es (13 English miles) from the most northerly light of Schierrnonnikoog . It has likewise been found that coming round the east from sea, a nd getting both these lights iu view in W.S.W and steering for th em, one runs alon g and free of the west point of the Borkum Reef and the Geldzak Shoal, at 4j 5 fathoms' depth. By keeping these lights together in one and the same liue, bearing S.E. by So this direction is very useful for observation above the Friesland Sea Gat. Insid e , towards the west a nd south side, the most south eely light remains visible to between Oostmahorn and the Zeutkaalip, in the passage the Slenk, somewhat S.E. of the buoy ca ll ed the Babbelaar, near the Vlakken or Schel- Phoek, where the light then diminishes and disappears in the N. .1 W. It has also been observed that the Lights of Schiermon nikoog, at ordinary view andwith the eye, 4 ell ista s(l n 2 c i e Rhineland feet) above m ore or lees, according quite visible at a d of fully 4 miles (16 English miles), to the state of the atmosphere, and in proportion as the eye is raised above the surfac e of the water These lights retain a bright _brillianty . until they are ex tinguished; they likewi se rise brightly above the horizon, and only there, where according to the above-described lines of compass, illumination commences or neither increase nor decre ase suddenly, but gradually ; at terminates ; they two miles' distance from these Lighthouses, both Lights are visible at equal heights ab ove the horizon.' The above bearings are according to non-adjusted com pass, the non-adjustment calculated at 21 deg. 42 m. " NV and the depth as at ordinary low wate r .• " The Hague, 21st September.

(From the London New Price Current of this day.) SUGAR—The public sales announced for next week already comprise 200 hhils Barbadoes, 4,000 chests yellow llavannah, 1,400 hhds Cuba and Porto Rico, and 6,000 bags Mauritius. A large amount of business was con cluded in British Plantation to-day, and rates closed fully equal to those of Friday last, for brown they are, however, barely up to that time. Foitntos —Privately several parcels were disposed of at full prices, and.' the market has a firm aspect. There was lv , Public sale. M.tunirrins—Mauritius met with a good demand, and at v iv e h ry ite or d d i i t n t a o r 4 y l t i o 6d fi av ' t i"u 2,959 bags went at rates fully equal to last Friday, goods, and ra--tieshcelroeseialrhe' yellow 303 6d to 4:is 6(1 and flue grainy yellow to g ood t n 4 : 4 b 2 :0 r t . : 1 1 . 1 at 25s to 30s, low to good REFINED T firmly, breraocwlynbluuyzprss at t f 4 h 3 o , m 6 e d in , a a i i i l ( e i low to fine grocery are 441 well kept up for D: to 495.

CHICORY. —Supply does not extend of Foreign Root, and prices are firm at 101 105 to 101 15s in Bond. PIMENTO.-560 bgs were placed in auction at 514 to sd, being about former prices. TALLOW.—There has not been much fluctuation in prices during the present week, but as usual on the Ist of the month, buyers have acted on the reserve, and an oc casional speculative parcel on the market has given prices the bias in the consumers favour. New tallow has ranged from 6 6d to 63s 6d on the spot, and old from 63s 6d to 62s 9d ; all the year 62s to 62s 6d., and generally at 62s 641 for January to March. The reported successes in the Crimea as portending a most rapid executive, andiconsequent speedy termination of the war, added in the early part of the 'week to the inactivity of the market, but the subsequent doubts and final contradiction of the rumours by the Government Gazette have imparted a firmer tone, and this is further strengthened by the bad accounts of the roads by which supplies are finding their way overland. Australian and South American sorts are from their scarcity compara tively dear, and firmly held. Home tallow has been in improved supply, but there has not been muc h brou g ht on the market, and 62s is the current rate net cash. OlLS.—Linseed has not been very active, but a good current business has been concluded at the steady rates of 34s to 31s 61 on the spot. Rape oil has become flat, espe cially the brown descriptions, and purchases might be made on slightly better terms, 45s to 45s 6d has been the range for brown, 47s to 47s 6d for pale, the latter figures being closing prices. Fish oils continue to engage little attention privately, as public sale are freely brought for ward, and we have again several parcels to-day. Sperm, however, turns out much firmer than was expected, and some enquiry has found the terms of holders enhanced to 1031. Cocoa-nut oil has been in some measure influenced by the tallow market, and there has been little disposi tionto buy, except at easier prices, which have in very few instances been accepted. Palm is without quotable alteration. Olive oil has continued steady at the quo tations. snt CD WARD BULEVER LYTTON AT HEBEFOJW. ^-_- litem'oetD, Oct. s.—Yesterday the annual meeting of the Berta Agricultural Association was held in this town, and the occasion was chiefly interesting from the speech it elicited from Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, one of the members for the county. The . proceedings coo sisted of an- interesting exhibition of agricultural imple ments and 'stock on the farm of Mrs. Dorringtolit at Waterford-Fall, and at Sele-mill, both in the immediate neighbourhood, concluding with a dinner in the evening in the Town -hall, over which Mr. Robert Hanbury, the high sheriff of the county, presided, and at which a great number of the neighbouring gentry, clergy, and the principal agriculturists were present, including, besides the two gentlemen already named, the Marquis of Salis bury, Mr. Abel Smith, Mr. C. W. Puller, Mr. G. J. Bosanquet, iMr. C. J. Dimsdale, Mr. R. Dimsdale, Mr.. W. R. Baker, Mr. R. W. Goussen, Mr. C. Soames, Mr. Abel Smith, jun., M.P., Mr. R. W. Phillimore, the Rev. C. B. Pearson, Mr. Roberts, Mr. G. T. Thorn ton, and many other influential persons. The usual loyal and constitutional toasts having been drunk, that of " The Army and Navy" being proposed in appropriate terms by the Marquis of Salisbury, and responded to with more than ordinary enthusiasm, and Mr. Thornton having given " The Members of the County," Sir EDWARD BULWER LITTON rose to acknowlekre the compliment, and was received with vehement cheer ing for some moments. He said,—Mr. Chairman, my Lord Salisbury, and gentlemen, feebly indeed, after the more than usual warmth with which you have so kindly responded to the toast which has now been pro posed to you, can I return you my thanks fur the cow -1 pliment you have paid me. Allow me to join in the ge neral congratulations you have received on the excel lence of your annual show. It is not my intention on this occasion to detain you for many minutes. I have nothingto add to what I have before urged on behalfof the general objects of meetings like the present, and I would wish to content myself with a brief assurance of the pride and pleasure I feel in whatever reflects credit on the industry and intelligence of this country. After the able and minute speech of our friend—the friend of all us here on this occasion—Mr. Puller—(cheers)—and after the critical reply of our friend, Mr. Roberts, I feel I should do best to make no reference to the minute points connected with husbandry or with agricultural machinery, but to leave such remarks to those whose superior practical knowledge would render their criticism more worthy of attention. (Cheers.) Upon this occa sion, indeed, I am called on pointedly to address you in my capacity of a member of Parliament. It is in that capacity that you have just drunk my health, and the occa sion justifies and perhaps suggests some reference to more general topics. Not, gentlemen, that it will be neces sary for me to touch on the forbidden ground of party politics. We have separate interests as Conservatives or as Liberals, but we •have all some common interests as Englishmen, and it is only to those that I shall pre sume to allude. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, in this world, as we all know, good and evil, blessings and afflictions, are inseparably blended together in the divine system of Providence ; but to make the most of the good, and to counteract, as far as possible, the evil—that is the art of the wise man, and that also is the proof of civilisation in a people. Now, as Mr. Puller has so well observed, it has pleased Providence to bless this country with an abundant harvest ; but that favour is not confined to England alone—it extends also to lands in which the climate and the soil are infinitely more favoured by nature than our own. But to make a diligent use of that harvest—to extend its produce through a thousand reproductive channels of national prosperity —to enrich the agriculturist, and, through the increase of his profits, to give a fresh stimulus to trade—to make I ue, demands on manufactures—to pour new energies nto the various investments of enterprise and capital— that is the merit of the English people, and that is the way in which the civilisation of man assists the bounty of the Creator. (Cheers.) In other countries that I might name—such, for instance, as Spain or Sicily, once the granary of Europe—lands infinitely more favoured than our own—for want of roads, for want of markets, or facilities for interchange—in one word, for want of civilisation, the corn in many places will rot uncut where it stands, and the whole harvests pass away, enriching , no trade, recruiting no manufactures, rewarding no in dustry, affording no surplus capital to energy or enter prise ; and that is the way in which uncivilised nations frustrate the benevolence of Providence. So, again, with regard to those afflictions to which humanity is liable. It has pleased Providence to visit us with one of the direst calamities in itself to which man is subject— war ; and I confess, even in this hour of victory, I do not like to approach that subject in any spirit of levity, but more with the sentiment of religious awe. But, as it has been so well brought before you by my noble - friend on my right (the Marquis of Salisbury), and in a spirit so thoroughly English, let us for one instant con sider if even to that evil we have not applied some of the high energies of thoughtful men to make the most of it, and to draw from it some future profit ; that is to say; let us compare the objects for which we now send forth our fleets and our armies with those which have induced the Emperor of Russia to invade his neighbour. War to both of us—England and Russia—is a great calamity ; but there is this difference between the con tending -Powers. Suppose Russia were to succeed to the utmost of her ambition—suppose that next year the Cossack should stall his horses in the palace of Constan tineple—should we be one whit nearer to peace 1 On the contrary, should we not have all Europe the mote alarmed, and would not every free State tremble for itself 1 The war would be carried on on a much larger scale; it would be no longer a war waged for the inde pendence of Turkey, it would be a war of self-defence over the whole civilised world. (Cheers.) Can any man say that the triumph' of Russia would conduce to one single interest of the human race ! . Rather, would it not endanger every other interest which liberty and in telligence defend from brute force ? (Cheers.) If it please Providence to continue to give triumph to our armies—that is, the armies of England and France—if Turkey can be preserved from all further interference — if Russia can be confined to her ancient dominions,—if new barriers can be thrown up between barbarian hosts and peaceable States, who does not feel that the war would then compensate for all its horrors by the new bulwarks which we should have secured for human liberty and the uninterrupted development of intel lectual progress? But, gentlemen, here, at this moment, the joy we feel at the success of our arms is not from any selfish acquisition of dominion. The fall of Sebas topol adds nothing to the empire of England. Onr joy is in the successful vindication of the generous principle that we defend the weak against the strong. (Cheers.) Sufficient reward for all.our treasure and our blood if we ca.a establish in the hearts of tyrants the Divine command, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods," and still less shalt thou compass thy neighbour's death in order to divide his possessions. (Renewed cheers.) Gentlemen, I must apologise to you for touching on general topics. (" No, no !" cheers, and "Go on.") I feel very much obliged to you for those cheers, and I will tell you why, because they confirm me in the opinion that there cannot be a mor e vulgar mistake than to suppose that because farmers, partly from the nature of their pursuits and the greater seclusion of their homes, don't trouble their heads about mere party struggles quite as much as the more excitable inhabitants of towns, they are therefore more indifferent to those graver questions which affect the honour and welfare of this country. I feel here that I should touch on womewhat delicate ground, which Mr. Puller has gone over with much ease and dexterity. But still, when I min touching on the war, I must say there are few quest ions that can more interest the farmer and affect his calculations, perhaps almost as much as the weather and the seasons, than the continuance of war. My friend, Mr. Puller, has shouted, somewhat prema turely, as I thi nk, in triumph over our friend Mr. Der lug. He reminded us that some three years ago Mr. Deriag thought the game was nearly up with agricul ture ; but be forgets there were two things which Mr. Dering had no right to anticipate. One was the discovery of Calif o rnian and Australian gold, and the other the war. Mr. Puller will bear me out when I say that all political economists of any authority are agreed that' war in itself is a more stringent mode of effecting what was once called Protection to agriculture than anything which Parliamen tary wisdom could devise. Warin itself restricts foreign competition; war retires home . prices; and I most heartily therefore, in this—that the prudent agri culturist well to husband all the savings which a the war may (+cable him to accumulate, agree s tioonnatiwhich,n with ua, buwee his tory, may eih f l u ilou l fdl ly prepared agam . st that inevitable reac according to the uniform experience of his follow the return of peace. You all remember the great depression that followed the peace of 1815 ; in fact, the exorbitant r ise of protective duties at that time was only an expedient of Parliament to replace that de gree of Protection which had been the natural and ne cessary consequence of the war ; and the severest test of that new political and commercial system which we have adopted may probably be found in a year or two after the peace ; and therefore you cannot do better now than to make all diligent use of all the improvenients in agrictilturalscience, and of whatever aids machinery may afford you, in order that the English agricultural skill may hereafter be fully and adequately prepared to meet increased competition, and, if necessary, a fall of prices. Gentlemen, the toast which I have to respond to would have led me to pass over, on any other occasion, a some what wide field of remark ; I mean the toast that con nects me with the House of Commons ; but here I am forbidden to do so by a rule of your society, which de precates all political discussion, and I will not make the most distant allusion to the debates or votes of the Le gislature of the last session. On the contrary, I have pretty well ficiehed all I have to say to you ; but I feel that I should neglect a duty if I did not before I sit down make some allusion to that mournful event which, since we• last met, has occasioned a change in the re presentation of this county. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, upon a former occasion, at the eve of my contest with Mr. Trevor—l call hint by the name he then bore—it was my lot to call upon you all to lay aside party differ ences and to join with me in a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Lord Deere. That eminent person went to his peaceful and honoured grave in the fulness of his days. Release to hint was the natural release of human infirmity from protracted suffering. But your late representative, Mi-. Halsey, was taken from you in' the full vigour of life—no precious warning, no lingering disease, which could make death itself seem a mercy. One moment he was seen in all the streegth and spirits of healthy manhood, and in the next he had vanished for over horn human eyes. [Here the honourable baronet's emodUcti overcame his utterance, and lie was unable for a moment to proceed.] No friend could receive his last wish ; no kindred could comfort his last sigh. To his grave there went eo weeping funeral procession ; over his remains there eves nn holy ser vice for the dead—so sudden and awful was the catastrophe ; the young husband and the young wife swept away into the deep, scarcely knowing, perhaps, the previous danger, scarcely hearing, perhaps, ,the shrieks which rung from - the dying and the doomed around them ; such a tragedy might well annihilate. all angry recollections, and we should not be Englishmen, we should not be men, if we did not now feel a melan choly desire to prove our sympathy with the survivors by some few words of kindness and just praise in honour of the dead. In the little I have to add, lam sure, Mr. Chairman, your impartiality and the generous temper of his opponents will bear with me. Mr. Halsey wag not a man of showy talents or of profound learning, but neither did he affect it. Hie information was, upon the whole, more considerable than those may be aware who did not know him well. It was an information above the average of young men born, like himself, to large fortunes, and who are too often disposed to.treat life as a lholiday, and to seek only effeminate pleasures. In him, at least, there was nothing effeminate. He was thoroughly English and manly, and whenever he was called on to speak or to act he could speak his senti ments with English firmness and act with English promptitude, There are none of you will think the • worse of him that he had a strong sense of party, a strong sense of his own political opinions, and for the men who shared them. But there arc men who have an equal warmth for party objects, but who, never theless, connect them with sonic party purposes or some desire of personal aggrandisement. From all buch self seeking he was totally free. No desire for place cemented his attachment to his party; His utmost ambition your favour permitted him ,to realise—to be a member for this county and to obtain the esteem of his consti tuents. That was all he asked, and such an ambition is equally dear to every public man. There are come who are equally fervid politicians, but who nevertheless envy some superior celebrity among their own friends. Others there are who are disposed to tyrannise over de pendents who differ from them ; and there are those who are mean and tricky in promoting their own views or creeping into popular 'favour. No such fault could be laid to his charge. I never met a man more free from envy, less disposed to tyrannise over others, or more thoroughly incapable of fawning, subterfuge, or dissimu lation. His whole character and life were in harmony with his frank countenance and manly bearing. His faults were those of which Englishmen are always in dulgent, and his qualities were those which Englishmen may most respect. (Cheers.) My younger colleague' in the representation of the county (Mr. Smith) is here, and will doubtless speak for himself. •He has youth on his side, with all its healthy vigour and generous ardour for whatever position to which he limy aspire ; and he only wants practice to make you 'familiar not only with his sentiments, but with all those generous qualities which are identified with his paternal name. (Cheers.) I certainly will not deprive him of any op portunity for that practice ; but, on behalf of Sir Henry •Meux and myself, allow me to return you thanks for the compliment you have paid us. I fear it is a melancholy truth that we cannot please all parties ; and if we at tempted to do so we should succeed in being ,trusted by none. But upon all those questions on which ourparty opinions may have been plainly stated, and can be fairly advocated, I trust you will have no cause to complain of our sincerity and good faith ; and although still greater questions may arise from time to time, without any pre vious concert with party—questions in which some un seen danger may affect our common country, or in which there may be some occasion to defend just principles or human rights—l trust we shall rise superior to all other considerations, and over party itself ; and without one single care what faction may be or may not be in pdwer, that we shall think and vote as becomes the representa tives of this great people. (Cheers.) It is to this English House of Commons that all nations now hesitating be t‘Veen despotic control and popular government must turn their eyes ; and if they desire to see how sacred a thing is liberty, provided only it be accompanied with a rational care to preserve alike from the mould of decay and the violence of incautious acts, they must look to the original framework of those institutions which contain the title-deeds to the happiness we pos sess. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) Mr. A. SMITH, M.P., also briefly responded to the toast, as one of the members for the county. Sir E. B. LYTToN, at a later period of the evening, in proposing the toast of " the Agricultural Labourers," said he could not doubt that such a toast would be wel come to all present. At the late hour, however, to which their proceedings had extended he could not hope to do justice to it. The toast had reference to a class not only interesting in itself, but one with which he had as familiar an acquaintance as he had with any other. But at the present moment he could not see the neces sity of saying anything in praise of the agricultural la bourers. To them those present owed whatever wealth they possessed. Their labour was the origin of capital. They owed to the labourer something more ♦aluable ; for they owed to them i❑ a great degree the defence of their country. It was from the agricultural labourers that those armies were chiefly recruited which had just added fresh laurels to the fame of England on the Alma and at Sebastopol, and which were sus- . taming her name and prestige in other parts of the world. - The same class which triumphed at Water loo were now engaged in conflict with the legions of Rassia, and he only hoped they would be as trium phant with the sword as they had been with the plough share. (Cheers.) Mr. Puller, Mr. Roberts, and several other gentle men spoke in the course of the evening, but the topics on which they discoursed were for the greater part of purely local interest, and do not justify a report beyond the immediate neighbourhood. The meeting separated between 9 and 10 o'clock. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. MUSIC AND DANCING LICENSES. The court sat yesterday to hear applications for the renewal of old, and the granting of ❑ew licenser for music, and music and dancing, under the statute 25 Goo. 11. The list comprised 165. applications for the renewal of licenses for music only, 56 for licenses for music and dancing, 53 new applications for licenses for music only ; and 6 for music and dancing. All the old licenses were renewed, except in a few cases where the parties had failed to send in their peti tions. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA'rTERSALL'S. —THURSDAY. A thin attendance, and only a limited amount of busi ness transacted. The deep disappointment occasioned by the official announcement in the Gazette just published, relative to the state of affairs in the Crimea, was the chief topic of conversation ; it was only during brief pauses that the lalts comprised in the following list were made : CESAUSWITCH.—The principal movements with regard to this event were in favour of Rattle and D.O. ; sopa sat efy at 10 and 9 to 1, and together at 4 to 1, they were backed for a good deal of money.

The spirit of fashion is not the beautiful, but the wilful ; not the graceful, but the fantastic ; not the superior in the abstract, but the superior in the worst of all concretes—the vulgar. It is the vulgarity that can afford to shift and vary itself, opposed to the vulgarity that longs to do so, but cannot. The high point of taste and elegance is to be sought for, not in the most fashion able circles, but in the best bred, and such as can dis pense with the eternal necessity of never being the same thing.—Leigh Hunt.

Observe —opposite the York Hotel. HIGHI3URT BARN. The application of Archibald Hinton for the renewa of a music and dancing license for the Highbury Barn Tavern was opposed. Mr. Parry appeared in opposition ; Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Sleigh in support of the application. The petition presented against the application was signed by the Rev. Mr. Collison, the incumbent of Highbury, the churchwardens, and by 142 persons re sident at Highbury and the neighbourhood. The learned counsel, in opening the case, said the com plaint against Mr. Hinton was that he had violated an en gagement he entered into when the court granted the license, and those for whom he appeared to oppose the renewal of the license asked the bench not to grant the application unless Mr. Hinton gave a guarantee that he would strictly adhere to and abide by his original engage ment.. The parties who now opposed did not oppose the original application, for this reason, that in his original petition Mr. Hinton assured the bench that he did not intend to use the license in any way that should be dis agreeable to the neighbourhood, or to produce disquie tude in the vicinity, or to convert Highbury Barn into an ordinary dancing place ; but, on the contrary, that he only wanted it to enable him to provide such enter tainment to those parties who regularly used his hernia, such as friendly clubs and benefit societies, who had din ners, &c., there. Instead of carrying out this, however, Mr. Hinton had converted Highbury Barn into dancing gardens, and the town had been placarded with an nouncements that the admission to such entertainment was at the rate of sixpence per head ; and there was re gularly a military baud in attendance performing from four in the afternoon until eleven at night. When the parties who resorted to Highbury Barn left, as they did at late hours, the whole neighbourhood was dis turbed—their conduct was disorderly and an annoyance to the neighbourhood, and he was instructed to say that instead of the establishment being conducted as Mr. Hinton had represented to the bench that it should, it had been a perfect and decided nuisance to the neigh bourhood. The opposition was not on general but par ticular grounds, and on the part of those by whom he was instructed, he called upon the court to uphold its own authority, and enforce the condition on which alone the license was granted. He would admit that there was nothing to complain of as to the conduct of the p tr ties in the gardens, but the result of the conditions on which the license was granted not being adhered to, was that a considerable nuisance had been created in the neighbourhood. Evidence in support of the petition was then gone into at some length. It was complained that the con duct of persons leaving Highbury Barn after dancing had terminated had been riotous and indecorous ; that women of loose character, who had been there, annoyed gentlemen residing in the neighbourhood on their way home by their olicitations ; and that the neighbourhood was disturbed at night by the persons leaving Mr. Hin ton's establishment. A band of music was continually playing from the afternoon until eleven at night, dancing was going on, and 6d. was charged for admission. The witnesses, however, could not speak of any formal complaint having been made with reference to Mr. Hin ton's place of entertainment—all that was said against it was that the neighbourhood was disturbed at night by the conduct of the persons who frequented " the barn" after they had left. Mr. Clarkson then addressed the bench on behalf of the applicant. He forcibly contended that there was not a tittle of evidence given to warrant the bench in refusing the license. Mr. Hinton had made• an engage ment, and havinanade it it would have been better if he bad not broken it, but he was not to be held re sponsible for the conduct of persons not on his own pro perty ; they might have been elsewhere than at High bury. • No complaint had been made as to the manner in which the place was conducted, indeed ho would show that it had been well conducted, and most pro perly managed. The learned counsel urged the vast interest which Mr. Hinton had at stake, and hoped that the bench would not commit the, to him, ruinous act of refusiel the license on the grounds set up by the oppo sition. He did hope that the bench would grant the license, and thus enable the public to have (at High bury) what they. required, a means of innocent and legi timate enjoyment. Evidence was then given in support of the applica tion. Mr. Hinton himself was txamined. He stated tlvit he commenced giving these entertainments at Whit suntide in the prssent year, and he had the band of the Grenadier 0-cards there. They performed from four till six when there was a lapse of an hour, after which they went on again till eleven. Shortly after that hour the place was closed, except on special occasions when private parties were there. He had police officers in attendance whom he paid himself, and lie used every exertion and endeavoured in every way to the utmost Of his ability to conduct his establishment respectably, orderly, awl with ow oily yieldpf preserving strict pro. priety and decorum. Inspector Thatcher and two sergeants of the N divi• sion were also examined. They gave Highbury Barn the highest character. They said it could not have been conducted with more propriety than it had been by Mr. Hinton, and the neighbourhood had been more quiet this year than formerly. As was the case with all places of public entertainment, no doubt persons of bad character were admitted at Highbury on paying their admission, but the general frequenters of the place were a very respectable class of persons, who went there for an hour's amusement. Mr. Parry having replied, The Chairman, Mr. Pownall, put the question, when the license was refused by 7 votes to 3, there being 11 magistrates present, including the chairman. Mr. James Toomer applied for a license for music and dancing, for the Manor House, Green-lanes, Stoke New ington. The appli*ut had a license for music, which he now applied to kayo extended to dancing. Mr. J. P. Doyle supported the application. The license was unanimously granted. The court will sit to-day to dispose of new applica tions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. _~--_-_ MANSION-HOUSE.—Robert Ware, a butcher, re siding at. Grcenhithe, was summoned before Sir R. W. Carden, charged with having unlawfully sent to New ;ate Market a quantity of meat for the purpose of being sold as human food, the same meat being in a putrid state. The. proceedings caused a great deal of interest. Mr. Pocklington, the inspector of meat in Newgate market, said on the 2d of October I went to Mr. Webb's Shop, 21, Newgate-market, and I found there, between six and seven o'clock in the morning, four quarters of beef inside the shop. They were carried in there by John Ludlow, the carrier, and his Man, in my presence. I examined them and found them stinking, and green and bruised. From my experience I should say that'the beast had been smothered. From what I ascertained upon inquiry, I went down to Greenhithe, in Kent, where I got further information, and I made inquiries for the defendant there and saw him ; but as I was about to speak to him he ran away. Cross-examined—l did not see the blood of the bullock. Mr. C. Fisher, Inspector of Meat of the city of Lon don, confirmed in the most complete manner the evi dence of Mr. Pocklitigton. John Ludlow, carman in the employment of the South Eastern Railway Company, Bricklayers' Arms Station, said—On Monday lust I delivered 4 quarters of beef at Mr. Webb's. I saw Mr. Pocklington there and be exa mined them whilst I was there. I brought them from the station. Two of the quarters had cloths upon them. The others bad no cloths upon them. When I de livered them Mr. Webb's man would not sign my book. George Renton, foreman to Mr. Webb, of Newga,te market, salesman, said 7 --On Monday morning, at half past 4 &clock, as I came to the door to my work, the defendant stood at the door, and he told me that he had come up by the train on Monday morning, and that he stopped at the Bull. He said he wanted to see Mr. Webb and asked me if I was he. I said no, I was his foreman. He told me he bad a body of beef. for Mr. Webb to sell that would come by the South-Eastern Railway. The bullock,.he said, had jumped overboard, and a waterman had towed it ashore. He also said. that, he had • stuck it, that it had bled freely, and that he had taken 15 stone of fat from it, and that it made 3s. sd. a stone. I asked him what sort of moat it was, to which he replied that it was quite sweet when he packed it, which was between half past four and five o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, and it was perfectly sweet when he left. He stated that before it was sold he wished the inspector to see whether it was fit for human food, or whether it was fit to go to the boilers (for the fat). He waited about f9r the waggon coming in, and after wards Mr. Pocklington came in, and I told him I had got a body of beef coming in, and the young man wished, before it was meld for him, to see it, and he said " Very well, he would," and he came several times to see it, and he saw the waggon come in, and I said, "Here is the beef come in," and he followed it into the shop and stuck a skewer into it, and said it was not fit for human food and he must take it. It was not offered for sale. The fore quarters were in a good state, bat the hind quarters were stinking. James Fulljaines, of Greenhithe, Kent, said—On Sa turday last, betweeti four and five o'clock, I saw the defendant and his brother dressing a bullock on the shore of the river Thames. The defendant's master was superintending the dressing of the bullock, and I saw the defendant chop the bones from the bead and matter ran out from the nose. I supposed it was for the dogs, but from information I received, I said to a Mr. Mar tin, who was present, in the defendant's presence, " What are you going to do with that beef 1 They, tell me you are going to dress it and send it to London ' and if you do that I shall write to the Lord Mayor." They laughed and jeered at me. I afterwards saw the cloths fetched for the beef to be packed up, and I saw the same body of beef taken in a cart to the railway sta tion, where it was left, and one of the men said, "•We have taken the beef down and you can do as you like." The defendant was there at the time, but I eaa't say who it Was that spoke. The first I saw of it was a horse drawing. the body of the animal out of the water on to the ground. The animal was then dead. •I afterwards saw them dressing and skinning it, and Mr. Martin told the men to take parti cular care in the dressing of it, as he had sold worse meat in his shop. The defendant was one of the men. I went to the station and saw the beef there, and I re ceived information how it was directed. Sir R. W. Cardensaidthe case was a very serious one indeed, deeply affecting the public. He felt that it must be fully investigated. It appeared from the evidence that two other parties living at Greenhithe were impli cated in the transaction, and in order that the ends of justice might not be defeated in a manner which so ma terially involved the health of the inhabitants of the metropolis, he should direct the City Solicitor to conduct the prosecution. He would consider whether the other parties alluded to in the course of the investigation should not also be prosecuted. The Alderman then remanded the case till Wednesday next, and required the defendant to be bound over in his own recognisances in the sum of 401., and to procure a surety in 20/., for his appearance at that time. The following letter, which was received by the Lord. Mayor, and which describes the practice of some of the, people who send supplies to the London markets, was rend in the court : _ " Birmingham. " My'Lord,—The attention of the public has lately been called to the state of meat sent to the London market from Longworth, in Somerset. I fear it is only one of hun dreds of cases which are daily occurring in all parts of the kingdom. "The butchers in this neighbourhood make no secret as to their custom of sending stale or diseased meat to town. The other day I had a sheep and two calves taken suddenly ill, with violent inflammation. I sent for the butcher to bleed them, but they wore dead when he came, and he very quietly remarked to me that if they bad been stuck an hour sooner they would have done nicely for some of the London folk. He then offered to buy the carcasses from me, which I declined to sell him, as I thought 'the London folk' would bo better without them, but he said that " it was like throwing away money to bury them." On Saturday last another butcher called on me to sell me a sheep. Ho wished to show me that ho had a 'nice little business,' and took out of his pocket a cheque for stale meat' from a London butcher for 11. 2s. 6d. You see,' he said, 'he will always buy from me anything which I cannot sell hero, or which is not good enough for nay customers, be it a small or largo quantity; but if the quantity I send is not worth a pound ho waits till he receives a second supply before he sends me my money. There are now a great number of rotten sheep which had lambs in the spring, and have now been fed up as far as they can be, and will bo killed off, as the farmers here say, before the cold weather will kill them, and their caressys sent to London ; that they make very bad meat, but the Londoners never know the differ ence.' " PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIP. WRECK. Yesterday a special general meeting of the friends of the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck was hold at its offices, John street, Adelphi, to consider the recommendation of the committee to alter the title of the society ; Mr. Thomas Chapman, F.R.S., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN observed that it was not without some reluctance the committee had recommended that the title of the institution, which had now been in existence upwards of thirty years, should be changed ; but they had yielded .to a sense of duty on this point, as they bad reason to believe that by doing so the im portant objects of the institution, which would not in any way be altered by the change of title, would be greatly advanced. A resolution was then passed that the title of the in stitution be hereafter " Royal National Life-boat Insti tution, founded in 1824, for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck.".. . It appeared that the Board of Trade had transmitted a communication to the institution which had for its object the forwarding of saving life from shipwreck. The cmnditions of receiving aid from the Mercantile Marino Fund are to be— 1. That the institution provide a life-boat and boat house of a kind and in a situation satisfactory to the board. 2. That the boat and boat-house be subject to the in spection of the board's officer. The nature of the assistance contemplated by tho board is that of giving rewards for the manning of boats in circumstances of danger, and for the preservation of life. The average cost of a life-boat, with a boat-house, and a carriage to transport the boat readily from place to place, is about 3001., so that to meet the conditions of the Board of Trade ample scope is left for the exercise of benevolent exertions. From the Admiralty " Wreck Register," as published in the Life bout Journal of the institution for the current month, it appeared that the wrecks during the past year on the coasts and in the seas of the United Kingdom were 832. Of these 253 occurred on the east coast of Great Bri tain, 76 on the south coast, and 130 on the west coast ; 81 wrecks took place on the coasts of Ireland 6 were cast on shore at Scilly ; 11 ,at the Ch anne l Islands ; 3 at Orkney ; and 12 at the Isle of Man ; the remaining 2GO wrecks occurred in the surrounding sea,. 'Fite whole loss of lives during the year, as far as could be ascertained, amounted to 989. Surely, with such appalling facts as these before them, the British imblic, will riot withhold their assistance to p rov id e life-boats on the coat. On the contrary, we believe that a liberal response will be made to the appeal of the committee for additional contributions, and that the great national cause of " preservation of life from shipwreck" will not be allowed form an exception to the many other good causes so benevolently and liberally supported in this country. All now that is required is hearty and cordial co-operation to see every suitable place provided with life-boats. An excellent plan of life-boat is in use by the institution. The other day we had an opportunity to see a harbour trial, at Limehouse, of one of the boatsi built on that plan, and nothing, except on one point, could have been more satisfactory than that trial. Life. , boats were ready to be sent to the Skerries, on the was.. uf Dublin ; to Boulmer, Northumberland ; and Apple, dore, on the coast of Devon, the latter being the fourth boat the society had stationed in this dangerous locality during the last thirty years. The proceedings then closed. COUNTRY MARKETS.' DERBY SMTHFIELD.—OcT. 3. There was but a scanty supply of fat beasts to-day, whit]; were readily sold.
