From the number of arrivals yesterday and to-day it may now be fairly anticipated that the meeting of the Associa tion in this c'ty will be most successful. Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon nearly 1,500 tickets had been sold—a consi derably larger number than has hitherto been issued on the day before the proceedings commence. The demand for hotel accommodation and private lodgings has been great, but fortunately for strangers Bath, unlike many other places visited by this association, has this recommendation, that it has always a large number of spacious and elegant apart ments available for almost any number of visitors. Prices have not therefore been excessive, and every possible faci lity has been afforded by the excellent system of registration both for extent of accommodation and price established at the Reception-room. Great interest appears to be attached to the inaugural address of Sir Charles Lyell, the new President, which will be delivered to-merrow evening, and which it is expected will make special reference to the thermal and mineral waters of Bath. _ _ _ The let Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards is expected to leave the Sheet-street barracks, Windsor, for tho Tewer of London to-morrow.

From Mexico we learn that the Emperor Maxi milian had invited Juarez and other Liberal chiefs to come to the city of Mexico to consult together on a plan for restoring peace and the firm establish ment of the empire, guaranteeing them full protec tion and safety. They refused to accede to this latter that he had robbed Prince Radziwill of a pair of pistols. The President then aallcd the witness Faugeret, who admitted that the letters which had been read at the last sitting were his. The Crown prosecutor said that, of course, his proposal to be employed as a spy was rejected by the Prussian authorities. The witness then said ho had offered himself as a witness from motives of revenge, he having received no pay from the Poles. A letter from M.

Agriculture and Free Trade. The Marquis of Normanby presided at the dinner given in connection with the 32d annual show of the Whitby Agricultural Society on Wednesday last, and among those who took part in the proceedings and addressed the assembly were the Hon. W. E. Duncombe and Mr Merritt, the Par liamentary representatives for the North Riding of York shire. The speeches were more or less complimentary, but they were appropriate to the occasion, and had special re ference to the agricultural exhibition and society with which they were associated. In the course of his remarks when returning thanks to the toast of the two members, Mr Duncombe, who formerly was opposed to free trade, acknowledged that agriculture had benefited, along with the general trade of the country, from our present commercial policy. The hon. member said that he could not but feel that the agricultural societies gene rally of this country had conferred considerable advantages upon the kingdDm at large, as they had been the means of bringing together the best quality and breed of stock and horses to be found anywhere, and they had also infused a spirit of competition and emulation among the agricultural body. These societies, too, wore the cause why so many of those valuable agricultural implements were produced, and which had proved of such great use in the carrying out of farming operations, and several of which implements were seen in several instances for the first time at these agricul turals gatherings. They were told that in some parts of the country complaints prevailed at the want of farm labourers, but he did not know whether that complaint prevailed in that district. He believed that there was a want of labour, and that labour was scarce, and therefore it was fortunate at such a time that science had been carried out in agricul tural affairs, and that they were enabled to make use of those excellent machines whereby economy of labour was secured. Upon a recent occasion in returning thanks for the same toast he said that he thought agriculture was not indebted to any Legislative enactments for the success which it en joyed ; and he believed that all persons present, whatever might be their political opinions, or to whatever profession they might belong, rejoiced in the general prosperity of agriculture and in the increase of the wealth of the country. In speaking of agriculture, ho could say that that interest was not jealous of the increased prosperity which had fallen upon the groat commercial and trading classes of this coun try. Ho believed that agriculture had derived benefit from that general increase in the trade of the country, and ho was of opinion that that increased trade might be attributed to the commercial policy which had recently been carried out, Trade had consequently become unshackled to a great exK tent, some of its burdens had been altogether removed and others had been much relieved ; and therefore all the agri cultural interest asked was that the Legislature would apply the same system of relief to the farmer, and endeavour to take away some of those burdens which pressed particularly upon the land. Parliament ought to carry out fairly and fully as respected agriculture the principle which bat been established in our commercial system. This woo what, they asked for, they required nothing more, and ho thought they had a perfect right to ask for such a concession. The pre sent were not occasions for the discussion of party politics, but ho thought they might allude to political questions in a quiet way when they related to the welfare of agriculture, and he believed no one who had that interest at heart would wish to exclude the subject at a meeting of that description. He should endeavour, as he had hitherto done, to promote the best interests of the great community which he repre sented in Parliament, not to look at one interest more than another, hie object in the House of Commons being to pro mote the prosperity of the varioue interests of the:ceuntry, Destructive Fire at Toronto. On Sunday morning, August 28, there occurred at Toronto one of the most destructive fires with which that city has been visited for a length of time. The fire originated at the Grand Trunk Wharf and Elevator, which wore com pletely destroyed, with some 50,000 bushels of gr ain and 400 barrels of flour. Th e G/ o besays—" The Grand Trunk Wharf extended out f rom the Esplanade betwe en Peter and Brock streets. It was without exception the finest and most substantial wharf in Toronto harbour, and was erected two years ago at a cost of about 25,000 dols. The capacious flour shed, capable of containing several thousand barrels of flour, was put up only a few months ago at a cost of between 5,000 and 6,000 dole. These losses, are, however, but trifling, compared with that of the Elevator. This fine building—one of th e b est o f th e kind in the province— was constructed at the same time as the wharf, the whole having been built by Mr Sheddon, who subsequently dis posed of the wharf to the Grand Trunk Railway Company. The Elevator, though known as the Grand Trunk Elevator, was the property of Mr Sheddon. Its actual cost at the time of its erection was 50,000 dols, but it has been recently considerably altered and improved at an additional outlay of several thousand dollars. Fortunately for_Mr Sheddon the building will not be a total loss, as he had an insurance of 35,000 dols on it in the following companies :-21,000 dols in the Liverpool and London, 8,000 dols in the Nor th British, 'and 16,000 d o l s i n t h e Liverpool and Lancashire. The loss sustained by the Grand Trunk Company in the wharf will be covered by th e insurance fund of the com pany. In the Elevator w at the time of its destruction there were about 45,000 or 50,000 bushels of grain, divided as follows :-.-Oats about 35,000, corn about 15,000, wheat about 6,000. This, so far as we could learn, was owned by various shipping firms in this city and elsewhere, and was partially covered by insurance, though to what e xtent w e are not informed. The follo w i ng are t h e names of the principal sufferers :—Erwin and Sloan, and Cheney and Ames, Os wego ; and W. D. Matthews and S. A. Oliver, Toronto. Mr Oliver lost about 6,800 bushels of oats, on which he had, we believe, an insurance of 1,208 dole. In the flour shed can at present there was fortunately a sma ll quan tity of flour, less than 400 euttotal insurance, a 5,000 dole flour barrels, whereas there are sometimes as many thousands. Messrs Gooderham and Worsts lost 127 barrels, Mr W. P. Howland 200, and Mr P, Payland 10. Most of the flour,. we were informed, was insured, though at very much less than its value. The total loss, as nearly as be ascertained, will be as follows :—The Elevator, 50,000 dole, the wharf and flour sheds 30,000 dole, oats about 11500 t aboutcznoocioi s l to o, t s o o , o l d o 9 01 , 4 s ,00whe dole.at aTbho far as could be learnt, does not . exceed 30,000 dole, so that s the actual loss in all will be in round numbers 70,000 dole. Fortunately this heavy loss does not com e on one person . d ab o o le t: alone, but is borne by several, . though mr simmou bears by far the greate r portion of It. The cal am it y cou ld hardly have happene d at a worse time of the year, so far as Mr Sheddon is concerned. 11 e had but a few weeks ago commence d making preparationst for the re ce pti on an d s torage of this year's g rain, so trade at by th e l oss of the Eleva tor he will lose t he whole ..rade of th e coming fall and winter, it being hardly possible to erect a new Elevator before nest spring. inlandyeßare:2e6nue Mr Phillips, th e pr i ncipal of the possession of licensed b rewers h ave al l es e 20 were f ound to be illicit ; the Department, reports laboratory 14 samples, grains of paradise, one of these samples containing , samples of beer and of materials t b h e aeßnt prohibitediA analysed , D n t a h lßyef found fE dn ct t a h. finiund ingredients,a tonhfceit in addition, tobacco ; in two other cocculus indicus was present in l arge and dangerous qua ntities; two sample s contained capsicu m ; an d th e re maining two proto-sulphate of iron. Generally the pro. hibited materials employed in the ad u l teration of beer are not injurious to health, the object of the fraud u ' en t b rewers or retailers of beer being more to increase the bulk of their by the addition ho 6, 13 - s, there can be little to render doubt that the practice o f adulterati ng beer with poisonous of foods noxious than materials. Still, s t boor a stop© Eyi ng matters, such as tobacco and co ccu l us indicus, is more prevalent than might be inferred from the smaller number of detections made, al the fraud is difficult to discover unless the offender be caught in the act of committing it. C'nsidering, therefore, this circumstance, and the abominable character of the offmce, Mr Phillips is of opinion that it would be only just to tho community to make public the names of those persona convicted of adding cocculous incline or other deleterious substances to beer brewed for sale; and ho feels no hesitation in stat ing that the two instances of the use of the dangerous drug in question occurred in the neighbourhood of Wirksworth, in Derbyshire, and that many of the detec tions of the use of grains of paradise were also made in the same district. lie states also that the experience of many years has le d him to the conclusion that the adul teration of beer with drugs, as distinguished from the mere dilution or increasing of tkie bulk of the article, is more prevalent in the Midland Counties and the West Riding of Yorkshire than in any other parts of the kingdom. Between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning a dreadful tragedy was perpetrated by a man named William Berry, miller, of 29, Ormakirk-road, ix this town. Since Whitsuntide the man has been in a desponding state, partly through business affairs, and to souse extent through certain family matters, He seems to have been jealous of his wife, although, it is believed, he had no reason whatever to be so. On Monday, Berry and his wife took lodgings in Ormekirk-road, and their children, two in number, were removed to some of their relatives. Early this morning the woman was heard screaming, and it was subsequently discovered that she had been stubbed in several places about her breast, and that her throat had been cut near the centre. Her windFipe was cut completely through ; she bled very profusely, and died about half an hour after she was found. It seems also that Berry made an attempt upon his life. He was found sitting on a bed in his lodgings, with his throat cut, and the latest repor a are to the Effect that he is not likely to au, vive. The following evidence has been prepare,' by the police, preparatory to the official inquiry, which will be hold to• morrow : Edward Leach, of 29, Ormskirk 7 road,!ays,—About hal. Past 5 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning I heard a scream in the room where the deceased and her husband were sleep ing. I immediately got out of bed and went to their room and saw the deceased at the window. Her husband was on the side of the bed, and I seized hold of him. Directly I took hold of him he made a stab at his own throat with a pocket knife. He made several stabs at his throat. He said, "Let me do it quietly, Ned," Henry Ashworth, a brewer, said,—l was in Bishopgate this (Tuesday) morning, at half-past 5 o'clock, when I heard a woman screaming. I immediately ran into Ormskirk road, where I saw the deceased, and got hold of her. She was bleeding from the throat. I put one of my hands to her throat, and placed the other round her waist, and then called for assistance. Soon afterwards I got her into the house. I asked her who had been doing this—cutting het throat, She made an answer and said "My husband." She never afterwards spoke. Matthew EtheringtOn, provision dealer, of 22, Walker street, says—This (Tuesday) morning at half-past 5 I was in Ormskirk-road, when I saw Henry Ashworth, the last witness, holding the deceased. She was bleeding very pro fusely from the throat. I helped Ashworth to get her into the house. We got two bandages, and placed them around her throat. We afterwards went upstairs, and I got hold of the deceased's husband. George Goodier, of 23, Everton-gardens, says—While I was in Tithe Burn -street at half-past 5 o'clock this morning I heard cries of " Murder I " I ran up the street, and into Ormskirk-road, and saw the deceased standing at the door of the house No. 29 in that street. She said " Dear me, he is killing more upstairs," I went upstairs with a policeman, and saw her husband. Police -constable Dilworth deposes—At 530 this morning I was in Lancaster. road. I heard cries of " Police, police, make haste." I immediately went into Ormskirk -road, and found the deceased lying on her side at the door of the house No. 29. I asked where the man was, and some person said upstairs. I went into the room and found him in a stoop ing position, Edward Leach had hold him. I seized the man's arm, and took a pocket knife out of his hand. .The knife was covered with blood. _ Inspector Hornby said—l arrived at the scene of the murder about half-past 5 o'clock, along with Inspecter Wray. I found the deceased lying on the sofa. I imme diately went upstairs. I saw her husband sitting on the bed. His throat was cut. Inspector Wray gave me a handkerchief, and I tied it around the man's throat. Wray and I then sent for doctors, and at 6 o'clock Mr W. H. Spencer, surgeon, arrived, While I was in the room the deceased's husband said to me, "That's you, Ifernby ; I know you," I said, " What made you do this, Will?" lie answered, "It was through some men being in the. house last night." I mentioned the name of a men named Wilkinson, a miller, as being one of thorn, and ho said "No." While we were at the house Mr Superintendent Dunn arrived, and made all necessary inquiries. This morning Berry was visited by Father de Pietro. lie expressed his sorrow to the rev, gentleman for what ho had done, and said that he know he had committed a murder. The deceased, as we have already intimated, was the mother of two children, and she was expected to be shortly confined of a third. How SPIDERS FLY. —Although spiders are not provided wings, and consequently are incapable of flying, in the strict sense of the word, yet, by the aid of their eitken filaments, numerous species, belonging to va rious genera, are enabled to accomplish distant journeys through the atmosphere. These aerial excursions, which appear to result from an instinctive desire to migrate, are undertaken when the weather is bright and serene, parti cularly in autumn, both by adult and immature individuals, and are effected in the following manner. After climbing to the summits of different objects, they raise themselves still higher by straightening the limbs; then elevating the abdomen by bringing it from the usual horizontal position into ono almost perpendicular, they emit from the spin ners a small quantity of viscid fluid, which is drawn cut into fine lines by the ascending current, occasioned by the rarefaction of the air contiguous to the heated ground. .Against these lines the current of rarefied sir impinrys, till the animals, feeling themselves acted upon with sufficient force, quit their hold of the ob• jects on which they stand, and mount aloft. . . . The manner in which the lines are carried out from a current of air appears to be this. As a preparatory measure the spin ning mammuloc are brought into close contact, and viscid matter is emitted from the papilla) ; they are then separated by a lateral motion, which extends the viecid matter into fine filaments connecting the papilla) ; on these filaments the current impinges, drawing thom out to a length which ie reaulated by the will of the animal, and en the maim:nuke being again brought together, the filaments coalesce and form a compound i lMcl44?('s gisbry Spiders, No news of importance has been received from ho South Pucific. From Peru we learn that in consequence of the inactivity of the Court of Madrid in reference to the seizure of the Chinche Islands, several members of the Ministry at Lima had resigned, and on the 11th of August a new Cab:net was formed, by which it is hoped that more energy will be displayed in the matter, and that a better feeling will he felt between Congress and the Government. The icon-plated monitor Victoria was launched on the 30th of July.

The question of the admissibility of Genera Langiewicz as a witness at this trial was reopened by M. Saatchi, at the sitting of the sth inst. He pointed out that the grcund alleged by the Court, at the last sitting, for refusing to take the general's evidence—viz., that ho is in the same position as the accused—was incorrect. The fact of his having fought against Russia was no evidence of any trea• sonable intent against Prussia; and several of the witnesses called by the prosecution, at this very trial, had acknowledged that they had fought against Russia. If any ground existed for suss petting him of any treasonable act against Prussia, nothing would have been easier than to claim him from the Austrian authorities, and it would have been the duty of the prosecution to do so. As, however, the Court had rejected General Langie wicz as a witness, he submitted that ho be examined in writing, itiformationis causa,'only. The evidence of a gentleman of such high character, and ono so thoroughly informed of everything relating to the insurrection, must be especially valuable for the purpose of throwing light on the present matter. M. Holthoff added that the business of the defence would be at an end if a witness was rejected when ever the prosecution accused him of being an insur gent, declaring that it would have prosecuted him if it had thought proper. The Crown prosecutor opposed the motion ,but did not prosecute Langiewicz, because he supposed the Austrian Government would do so. As regards the insurgents brought forward as witnesses, they were too illiterate to know the objects of the insurrection. After a sharp and somewhat desultory discussion, the President said the Court would shortly announce its decision. Zaleski, a student, and Michalski, a labourer, were then proposed as witnesses by the defenoo. It ap peared from their evidence that neither of them heard anything of an intention to take Posen from Prussia while they were in the insurgent camp. The decision of the Court respecting General Lan giewicz was then read. It rejected the general's evidence in any shape whatever. A labourer named Palezewaki was next examined. lie admitted he had been convicted of theft, and added that he Lad been with the insurgents and had received three thalers from nrawski. lie could no•, however, point him out among the accused• The accused M. Jaroczynski was then examined. He said he was drawing master in the Posen school. He denied having belcingud to any cern mittee—ho could not explain how it was his name was mentioned among Count Dzialynskes me- moranda. J. Matukzawski, tailor's foreman, was the next among the accused, the witnesses against him being two mon, Samolic and Przybylski, whom M. Lisieck proved to be untrustworthy. Palezinvski was t h en again brought up to give evidence against :NI Roman Pihiski, who, he said, had warned Polish volunteers of the apprench of Prussian troops. After M. Lent had indignantly declared that this witness The Petsident then said it appeared from a letter from the Foreign Minister to M. Kruger that the witness had been paid during his first visit to Berlin hit, travelling e s pewees and 10 thalers for five or six dayb' living ; and ~he Court decided that he bould be at once rile Court then adjlurned to the 12(1 inst. The Perfect Partiality of Russ2llism, (From the Dublin l'ocning The last London Gazette contains a notice which, accord.. ing to the editorial apologists for Earl Russell's mingled craft and weakness, supplies additional and powerful evi dence to the perfect impartiality (sic) observed by her Majesty's Government towards the belligerents in America. What that impartiality has been the public do not need to be told; and wo venture to say that the additional evidence will lead them to a very different conclusion from that which the writer hastens to bespeak, with a suspicion that his case is hollow. The words of the Gazette notification are these : —" Foreign-office, Sept. B.—lt is hereby notified that her Majesty has been pleased to order that for the future, no ship of war belonging to either of the belligerent Powers of North America shall be allowed to enter, or to remain, or be, in any of her Majesty's ports for the purpose of being dismantled or sold ; and her Majesty has been pleased to give directions to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, and to the governors of her Majesty's colonies and foreign possessions, to see this order is properly carried into effect," The making of the order applicable to both of the belli gerents is altogether too fine a stroke of Russellism. The Federals are under no necessity to enter our ports to dis pose of ships which may not suit their purposes. They will not be placed under any disability by the regulation. Their own ports are open, and they can sell ships suitable for warfare in British harbours, after dismantling them in their own, or purchase them in England, and Equip them else where. The Confederate Government are differently cir cumstanced, and the Foreign Office order is a burden on them alone, Oar Ministers have already denied them the right to buy unarmed ships in British dockyards; now they are forbidden to sell ships in British ports that have become peaceful merchantmen. It is Confederate ownership that constitutes the offence I If we honestly recognised the rights of the parties as belligerents, we should make no distinction between dismantting or arming a ship at sea, and going through those operations in a port belonging to the country whose flag was carried, The lawyers have been fertile in sophistries to shelter Earl Russell's perfect partiality and will doubtless atempt todefend the new order by come involved ratiocinative process, but the public cannot be mystified about a matter so palpably capable of ono construction only. There is yet another trick in this artful Gazette sentence. The regulation is to be applicable " for the future." What, then, about the case of the Georgia? We aro semi-ofil• cially informed that the notification has been put in this form in order not to bar the " legal rights" of the British owner who purchased that vessel in a British port, from Confederate vendors. It is not at all meant, however, that those rights will be recognised by the Government, and a demand preferred for the restoration of that vessel. The Times is authorised to state that they have "declined to interfere in the case of the steamer Georgia, seized off Lis bon by the Federal frigate Niagara. It is difficult to under stand what legal rights remain to the owner under these circumstances, The Americans have seized his ship; they have taken it to New York ; they will condemn it on their own principles ; and what remedy will the British purchaser have, now that the Government deny him that protection to which he had a double claim in consequence of the pre cautions he took when applying fora British register ? It will be remembered that Mr. Bates before completing the purchase, wrote to the Custom-house authorities at Liver pool to ascertain whether he would bo proceeding legally in buying the vessel, then dismantled and restored to original character—that of an ordinary merchant ship. The collector consulted the Government, and on their being satisfied that the purchase was bona fide, and the vessel to be em ployed in peaceful commerce, th ey au th or i sel t h e gran ti ng et a register. The oreign-efliee now turns its back upon all this, and with an elliontery unparalleled even in Earl Russell's administration, " declines to interfere," The "new order" is intended to make that prostration betel e the Federal Government more c ompletely satisfac'ory to the objects of hi s unwor thy timidity. It is thus th a t E ar Russell practises " neutrality," and resents insults to the British fl ig I We hardly thought there was a lower deep fel.

Captain Semmes is said to have re-appeared in the neighbourhood of Breiner-haven, COW man ing a frigate pierced for 40 guns, and having 300 men on board ; and that daring officer will, doubtless, soon exact reparation after his own fashion for the seizure of the Georgia as well as the loss of the Alabama.
