SIR EDWARD BULWER LYTTON AT lIEEEFORD. HERTFORD, Oct. S.--Yesterday the annual meeting of the Herts 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 con sisted of an interesting exhibition of agricultural imple ments and stock on the farm of Mrs. Dorrington, at Waterford-hall, 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, inclu din g , besides the two gentlemen already named, the Ma r q uis of Salis bury, Mr. Abel Smith, Mr. C. W. Puller, Mr. G. J. Bosanquet, Mr. 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 LYTTON rose to acknowledge 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 for the com 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 nothing to add to what I have before urged on behalf of 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 favthired 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 new demands on manufactures—to pour new energies into 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 duetry, 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 ou r armie s w ith those which have induced the Empe ror o f R uss i a t o i nva d e hi s nei g hbour. ar to both of u s —E ng l an d an d 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 tinople—should we be one whit nearer to peace ? On the contrary, should we not have all Europe the more alarmed, and would not every free State tremble for itself?? 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. Our 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 cats 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 divid e his p ossess i ons . (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 more 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 somewhat delicate ground, which Mr. Puller has gone over with much ease and dexterity. But still, when I am touching on the war, I must say there are few questions 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 think, in triumph over our friend Mr. Der ing. Be reminded us that some three years ago Mr. Dering thought the game was nearly up with agricul ture; but he forget s th ere were t wo thi n gs which Mr. Dering had no right to anticipate. One was the discovery of Calif milieu and Australian gold, and the other the war. Mr. Puller will bear m e ou t w h en I say th a t a ll po liti ca l 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. War in itself restricts foreign competition ;. war raises home prices ; and I most heartily agree with him, therefore, in this—that the prudent agri culturist will do well to husband a ll th e sav i ngs w hi ch con tinuance of Los var enable him to accumulate, so as to be fully pr e p ar ed against that inevitable reac tion which, according to the uniform experience of his tory, may follow the return of peace. You all remember the gre at depression that followed the peace of 1815 ; i n fact, exorbitant rise of protective duties at th a t ti me 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 improvements in agriculturalseience and of whatever ai ds 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 a m forbidden to do so by a ru l e of your society, which de precates all political discussion, and will I not make the most distant allusion to the deha n te t s h o e rvotes of the Le gislature of the last session. o pretty well fir.ished all I ha ve t o say to you contra - ry i.o I _ha ,,, ve , that I should neglect a duty if I did notLefore I sit down make some allusion to that mournful ev?nt which, nt t l he re since we last met, has occasioned a chang e pres entation of this county. (Hear, hear.) 4 upon a former occasion, at the eve of my contest with Mr. Trevor — l call him by the name he then bore—itit was my lot to call upon you all to lay aside party differ ences and to join with me in a tribute of respect t o the me mory of the late Lord Deere. That eminent per son went to his peaceful and honoured grave in the fulness of his days. Release to him was the natural release of human inermity from protracted suffering. But your late representative, Mr. Halsey, was taken from you in the full vigour of life—no previous warning, no lingering disease, which could make death itself seem a mercy. Ouc moment he was seen in all the strength and spirits of healthy manhood, and in the next he had vanished for ever from human eyes. [Here the honourable baronet's emotion overcame his utterance, and he 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 no weeping funeral procession ; over his remains there was no holy ee. • vice for the dead—so sudden and awful was catastrophe ; the young husband and the young wife swept away into the deep, scarcely knowing, perhaps, the p rev ious danger, scarcely hearing, perhaps, the AA ' '" • )4)it shrieks which rung from the dying and the doomed around them ; such a tragedy might well annihilate ad 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 was not a man of showy talents or of profound learning, but neither did he affect it. His 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 are men who have an equal warmth for party objects, but who, never theless, connect them with some party purposes or some desire of personal aggrandisement. From all such 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 some 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 may 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 our party 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 power, 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 tween 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 viclence 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 valuable ; for they owed to them in a great degree the defense 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 taining her name and prestige in other parts of the world. The same class which triumphed at Water. 100 wore now engaged in conflict with the legions of Russia, 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 .IND DANCING LICRNSES. The court sat yesterday to hear applications for the renewal of old, and the granting of new licenses for music, and music and dancing, under the statute 25 Geo. IL The list comprised 1.66 applications for the renewal of licenses for music oily, 56 for licenses for music and dancing, 53 new applications fur licenses for music only ; and 6 for music and dancing. All the old licenses were renewed, except in a few cages where the parties had failed to send in their peti tions. HIGHBURY BARN. The application of Archibald Hinton for the renewal 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 chur c h war d ens , an d 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 pro vide such enter tainment to those parties who regularly used his house, 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 band 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 par 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 duet of persons leaving Hig,hbury 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 solicitations ; 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 havinglmade 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 b een e l sew h ere than at High bury. No complaint had been made as to the manner in which the place was conducted, indeed he would show that it had been well conducted, and most pro perly manage d. The learned counsel urged the vast t e o ta h k i e m , , a r n u d in h o o u p s ed ac t t ha o t f i t n h t e e r b e e s n t c w h h w ic o h ul A d i n r O li t c l o n m to r n ni a t d he a , t refusing the license on the grounds set up by the oppo sition. He did hope that the be n ch w ou l d grant the license, and thus enable the public to have (at High bury) w h at t h ey requ i re d, a means of innocent and legi timate enjoy men t. Evidence was then given in support of the applica tion. Mr. }Luton himself was examined. He stated that he commenced giving these entertainments at 'Whit suntide in the present year, and he had the band of the Grenadier Guards 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 thaf 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 he used every exert..i.t and endeavoured in every way to the utmost - his ability to conduct his establishment respectably, orderly, and with the only view of preserving strict pro priety and decorum. In;peotor Thatcher and two sergeants of the N diyi TER SUN.. LONDON. FRIDAY, EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1864. 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 wcra a very respectable class of persons, who went there for as 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 applicant had a license for music, which he now applied to have 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. 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 boats built on that plan, and nothing, except on one point, could have been more satisfactory than that trial. Life boats wore ready to be sent to the Skerries, on the coast of 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. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'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 bets comprised in the following list were made :-- CESAREIVITCH.—The principal movements with regard to this event were in favour of Rattle and D.O. ; sepa irately at 10 and 9 to 1, and together at 4 to 1, they were backed for a good deal of money. Au attempt was made to shake Muscovite, but' at the close 13 to 2 were the highest odds offered. Rodo-meli was backed with a degree of confidence, at 25 to 1, which leads to the belief that he will, after all, be the trusted one to do battle for his stable. La Belle was supported in good quarters at 1000 to 30, and 30 to 1. Similar odds were taken about Kohinoor ; 1000 to 25 Hungerford, and 1000 to 20 Exact. CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—The odds quoted were laid to only small sums.—Alembic had the misfortune to rupture a blood-vessel whilst at exercise last Monday morning, and it is reported that ho is dead. DERBY.-9 to 1 was currently offered on the field, 11 to 1 taken in the aggregate to 2001. about St. Hubert ; 15 to 1 to a like sum about Lord of the Isles, and 1600 to 100 and 500 to 30 about Rifleman ; 1000 to 60 was taken about Oulston, but 17 to 1 was afterwards offered ; 2500 to 50 taken about Affghan. The quotations at the close were as follow : CERAREWITCH STAKES. 13 to 2 agst Muscovite (7 to 1 taken) 9 to 1 agst Rattle (taken) 9 to 1 agst D. 0.

A few days a go ago s h e got a t i c k et f ir the Porte St. Martin, and telling him that that it had been given to her, asked him to accompany her. He promised, but when evening came was unable to go. Th e w if e , who was en gruntle toilette, was furious at her disappointment, but, determined not to be baulked, she made her servant accompany her. On leaving the coachmanesc e in a s d h e e called a sign a cabtha that that t had va,inn insolent. g ~ theatre she was followed by two young men, who w er e very rr oa some one in the vehicle. She was turning away, wh en the cab stopped, and but the the an elegantly dressed young man jumped from it. " I see, ladies," he said with a low bow, " that you are annoyed by two ins o l en t f e ll ows. Deign to accept of this cab—l will seek another." The tradeswoman accepted with thanks, and the gentleman ' handed her and her servant in with the greatest polite ness. She gave her address to the cabman, and the vehicle drove off. Arrived near her own residence, she stopped, and asked what there was to pay. " 21f. 75c." said the cabman. " What, 21f. ?" cried the trades woman in a stonishment. " Why, you h ave on l y com e from the Porte St. Denis, and have not been half an hour on the way." "Do not talk nonsense," said the cabman rudely, " I have been driving the gentleman about since morning. But where is he ? Disappeared !" On discovering that his fare really had disappeared the man thought the women were in connivance with him to cheat him, and he became very insolent. The trades woman had not money enough to satisfy his demand, and he gave her and her companion into custody. They had to pass the whole night in the guardhouse de la Linger, and were not released until the next morning, when the tradesman claimed them, and indemnified the coachman. The tra,deswoman vows that she will never go to the play again without her husband.

Ob serve—opposite the York Hotel.— These telescopes possess such extraordinary powers that some inches, with an ex tra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 12 to 14 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.—The Royal Ex hibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant ; thoy answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful power ; an object can be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles distant. Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation —can see with these lenses of a much less mag nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired,-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Robert Ware, a butcher, re• siding at Greenhithe, was summoned before Sir R. W. Carden, charged with having unlawfully sent to Newgate 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 glop, 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 hire 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• dente of Mr. Pocklington. John Ludlow, carman in the employment of the South Eastern Railway Company, Bricklayers' Arms Station, said—On Monday last I delivered 4 quarters of beef at Mr. Webb's. I saw Mr. Pocklington there and he exa mined them whilst I was there. I brought them from the station. Two of the quarters had cloths upon them. The others had 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 Newgate market, salesman, said—On Monday morning, at half past 4 o'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 ho had a body of beef for Mr. Webb to sell that would coma 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 meat 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 for 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 sold for him, to see it, and he said " Very well, he would," and he came several times to ..4se 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 foe 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 Fulljames, of Greenhithe, Kent, said—On Sa turday last, between 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 filsperintending the dressing of the bullock, and I saw the defendant chop the bones from the bead and matter Pall 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 ? They tell me you are going to dress it and send it to London ' • and if yen do that I shall write to the Lord Mayor." They laughed and jeered at me. I afterwards saw the cloths !Ached 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 tike." The defendant was there at the time, but I can'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 enlar 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. Carden said the 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. Ile would consider whether the other parties alluded to in the course of the investigation should net 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 201., 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 read 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 nnddenly ill, with violent inflammation. I sent for the butcher to bleed them, but they were dead when he came, and ho very quietly remarked to me that if they had 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 poll Lim, as I thought the Loudon folk' would be 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 mo a sheep. Ho wished to show me that he 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 here, or which is not good enough for my customers, be it a small or large quantity; but if the quantity I send is not worth a pound he waits till he receives a second supply before ho 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 be killed off, as the farmers here say, before the cold weather will kill them, and their carcases sent to London ; that they make very bad meat, but the Londoners never know tho differ (moo."' 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 held at its offiees, 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 extstence upwards of thirty years, should be changed ; but they bad yielded to a sense of duty on this point, as they had 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 conditions of receiving aid from the Mercantile Marine 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 the 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-boat 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 Ki❑gdom 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 Channel Islands ; 3 at Orkney ; and 12 at the Isle of Man ; the remaining 260 wrecks occurred in the surrounding seas. The whole loss of lives during the year, as far as could be ascertained, amounted to 989. Surely, with such appalling facts as these before thorn, the British public will pot withhold their assistance to provide 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 to form an exception to the many other good causes so benevolently and liberally supported in this country.

Inland Revenue, Somerset House, Sept. , 1854. 27,910 THE COKE TRADE.—This trade is making considerable progress in the northern colliery district, and a class of coal which formerly was of very little value is now be come an important article of commerce. From returns which have been recently published, it appears that in 1833 the whole of the coke exported from this country only amounted to 4,008 tons ; 3,275 of this quantity being manufactured on the banks of the Tyne, 73 tons at Sunderland, none at Hartlepool or Stockton. Last year the quantity exported from tho Tyne was 94,741 tons ; Sunderland, 21,490 tons ; Stockton, 16,633 tons ; and Hartlepool, 32,960 tons. The shipments coast wise have increased from 10,971 tons in 1833 to 43,376 in 1853. In the Tyne, from 4,357 tons to 18,636 ; Stockton and Hartlepool, from nil to 6,864-1,148 from Stockton ; 5,746 from Hartlepool. These returns do not take in the great trade in coke by inland car riage from the Auckland Valley coalfield, which supplies the principal railways in the kingdom with many thou. sand tons of coke in the year by the Stockton and Dar lington Railway, and thence south by the north-eastern railways. BEAUTY AND FASHION.—Beauty too often sacrifices to fashion. 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.—Lei i 4 Hunt. 4,110 20,909 14,496 23,400 32,073 2,993 14,820 10,509 3,367 370 9,823 22,668 21,183 23,838 6,229 4,930 8,725 11,692 11,180 7,904 9,416 13,848 12,957 6,848 21,221 6,778 43,936 12,458 17,439 15,235 35,012 40;843 7,348 14,058 6,463 59,060 9,11 11,480 35,747 11,390 37,777 8,290 8,903 48,022 8,210 29,774 19,534 41,71 10,983 32,332 9,682 COUNTRY MABXBrS.
