" 5 MEETING OF THE INHABITANTS OF BRENTFORD . 2% A meeting of the inhabitants of Brentford was held on - Saturday, in the large room at the Castle Inn, in that town, - for the purpose of receiving a deputation from the Committee of the London and Exeter Direct Railway Company, and to I: hear a statement of their intentions with respect to that por tion of the line intended to pass through and accommodate Brentford and the neighbourhood. • Francis Lloyd, Esq., was called to the chair. Mr. COLOMBINE said, as officially connected with the Com pany, he was asked to expound their views ; but he begged in the first place to say that all he had done had been in the capacity of their humble officer, whose duty it was to carry - out the instructions given to him. He then proceeded to - say that the line projected to Windsor was the first but very - imperfectly carried out notion of a communication with the west, and that he (Mr. Colombine) had been invited to join - the Company. His reply was, that however unwilling they _ might be to take any course parallel with that occupied by - other gentlemen, still that this was not merely a subject of - private enterprise or speculation, but a great and gigantic - undertaking, the object of which was to follow out the sug gestions of Parliament in favour of promoting facilities of - communication between London and Falmouth, and that it would be most injudicious to advise that so great and gigan tic an undertaking should depend upon a small line starting - from London to Windsor. These remarks, he trusted, would dispose of any notion of this Company's taking up any por tion of their ground in hostility to other parties locally in terested, and these observations would equally apply to the Hounslow Company. It would only be repeating a state - ment which he had very recently made in public, to say that - it was quite imp oss ibl e th at P arl i ament should sanction - more than one line of railway starting from Hyde-park _ corner. It was quite obvious that the public required and would have railway communication in that direction, but it - must be by a " trunk" line. It was not likely that Parliament - would allow the country near the metropolis to be cut up by several different lines to Windsor, Hounslow, and Brentford. -(Hear.) The proposition which they (the promoters of . the Direct Exeter line) made was this :-With any gentle . men who may have an interest in shorter lines we are ready to act in co-operation, and we court their assistance ; but we have formed a company, and our object is to proceed with peace and harmony.--(Cheers.) We say that a trunk line will give all the accommodation that a short line can possibly give;. we shall give you a station as near the heart of the metropolis as any company can afford, and at such individual and intermediate towns and places as shall have a population and traffic to warrant it. This being our plan we court inves tigation, and challenge any other company to show advan tages superior to those which we offer.-( Hear.) All that they can do we can do, and a great deal more. We say that no company which has only a short line for its object can ever offer an equivalent return for the capital therein em ployed. That is a proposition which, I think, no one will attempt to controvert ; and in proof of the assertion, it is only necessary to point to the Greenwich and Blackwall lines.-( Hear.) Captain BLAGG-I beg pardon for interrupting you, but I have heard it objected to your company, that you would not give to Brentford the same accommodation as a shorter line. If you would do that, I think the long line would be prefer able, as it would bring more traffic through the town, and would give a great impetus to trade.-(Hear.) - Mr. COLOMBINE-Every accommodation that would be afforded by a short line will be guaranteed by this; and the ;,''s question as to the preci se l oca lit y o f th e stat i ons is a matter ' of perfect indifference. It would be our duty to place them - where there is the greatest amount of traffic and population. - Dr. COSTELLO imagined Captain Blagg alluded to the fre quency of the trains. - Captain BLAGG said he did s o . It h a d b een stated that a short line would afford great accommodation by running trains every quarter of an hour, whereas a great trunk ex - tension line would not give more than one train an hour. - Mr. COLOMBINE said he was very much obliged to Captain Blagg for mentioning this matter, and did, on the part of the Direct Exeter Company, most unequivocally declare and pro ▪ mise that whatever could be accomplished by any other line • for the accommodation of Brentford, should be accomplished • by them.-(Hear, hear.) The great object of their scheme • was to bring London and Falmouth into immediate commu nication ; but there would be short trains as well as long ones, and he had no hesitation-if that was a point of diffi • cultv-in stating that the short trains would be made as . rapid and as frequent as could be desired. Captain BLAGG had been induced to mention the matter • from having heard it made a subject of discussion in that - town. There were no less than eight projected companies fort bringing a line of railway through thi s neighbourhood ;. but 3% ue thought it was quite evident that there could not be more - than one line, and that it was equally evident that a trunk - line must be the description of line to come through the road. - The line the Direct Exeter Company offered certainly went through a country altogether untouched by any other line of - railway-, took Bagshot and that direction, which at present - were not accommodated within six, eight, or nine miles by - any line whatever; it would save 30 miles in the distance - between London and Exeter. and something like 60 miles -- between London and Fal mou th.-(Ch eers. ) Thi s was a great _, and important consideration, for while it made a line •from London to the Land's End, it afforded such-accommodation - to this town as to deserve the encouragement of the neigh - bourhood. He had no stake in the matter, but thought he - spoke the sentiments of the town in expressing this opinion. -(Hear.) After some further observations from Captain Blagg, 4% Mr. COLOMBTNE stated that it was the intention of the 2% Company to have their London terminus at Hyde Park - corner, close to Montpelier -square. Captain BLAGG suggested an amalgamation with the Hungerford Company. Mr. COLOMBINE-The question of making any arrange - ment with the South-Western or Thames Embankment Com pany would be a subject for future consideration, and would - be premature at present.-(Hear.) Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting. A vote of thanks to Mr. Lloyd for his conduct in the chair - was then carried by acclamation, and the meeting separated. BRISTO BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER. L, SATUP.DAY.—The halfearlmeetin which was very numerously attended, was held -y thisafternoon, Mr. Geo. Jones, Chairman of the Company, presiding. foll Mows r. FLETCHER, the se cre t ary, read the Directors' report as : " The revenue of the United Bristol and Gloucester and Birmingham and Gloucester Railways, for the half-year end ing on the 30th of June last, was commuted on the 7th of as announced to the proprietary The proportion of this sum May for the sum of 26,000/., by circular, dated on that day. claimed and obtained for the Shareholders of the Bristol and Gloucester line is 4,730!., which, after deducting the income tax, will yield a dividend of 16s. 14d. on every share on which the sum of 50/. has been paid up, and l Oa. 2d. on every share on which the sum of 30!. has been paid ; besid e in terest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the new stock, trom the periods of its payment to the 30th June last. The agreement made on the Bth of February last, between the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway C ompany and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway Company of the one part, and the Midland Railway Company of the other part, and confirmed by the Proprietors of this Company, at a special general meeting convened for that purpose on the 7th March last, has been ratified by the Proprietors of the said three Companies, and a Bill to carry it out will be intro duced into Parliament next session. The arrangement be tween the three Companies is in the meantime carried on under the agreement, and the Proprietors will receive from the Midland Railway Company 6!. per cent. per annum on the capital from the Ist July last. Since the last half-yearly meeting Wm. Ford Mogg and Thomas Rankin, Esqs., have withdrawn from the direction; and Samuel Beale and Abel Peyton, Esqs., have been appointed to succeed them." kr. C. B. Fitter said that as it was of the greatest import ance to the commercial prosperity of Bristol, he wished to be informed whether the Midland Counties, who would have the control of the Bristol and Gloucester line, bad made such ar rangements as would secure a uniformity of gauge, as it was the only means of ensuring the city of Bristol a commercial intercourse with the Midland Counties in a proper and per manent manner. The CHAIRMAN said he was not in a situation to answer the question officially. Upon the point in question, he only was acquainted with what was generally stated out of doors, that it was intended to make the line uni term between Bristol and Birmingham. The tranship ment of goods at Gloucester prevented a great quantity of the manufactures of the Midland Counties being brought to the port of Bristol. He (the Chairman) would be very glad to see the wide gauge brought into operation generally ; but as the Midland Counties were all on the narrow gauge, it had, he believed, been thought advisable that a uniform narrow gauge ',must be adopted. For his own part, he had no doubt of the superiority of the wide gauge over the narow gauge, and he could hope to see that principle adopted generally ; but they were obliged to yield at present in that respect to cir cumstances. He did not speak officially, but he believed Midland Interests. that it was the intention of the Midland Company to pre- Iser- e a .t n h a e c na om rr p o a w n _g y au w ge, as the most conducive to their pre senteaabled to give the la m ' Mr. Joseph Saunders, the secretary of the Mr. SAUNDERS said information w at as to f n the officially. however,. present, and would be intention of the Midland Company to make on Gloucester to Bristol, m e ld to ilTir Brni irmingham throughout, from the narrow gauge. If they . Wererntmogat.diam—that gauge being afraid the traffic they anticipated would be anyy other, he was port of Bristol from the Midland and Northern b rought to the not be what they co u ld w i s h , without the adoption wou l d ption of one uniform gauge. The report having been adopted, and six per cent. de clared, The Cl/ADMAN said the dividends, from July last, would • be paid on the 13th of October, and after that on the Ist of January and Ist of July in each year. The Grand Junction have brought out from their works at Crewe several new luggage vans for leading carriages to the passenger trains, heavier and longer than any hitherto in -use, and having boxes for the guards, who will thus be protected from the weather. These vans, it is said, will be a great protection from accident, and the passengers wilt be safe from danger from the engine. The Company are now constructing some carriages with six wheels and brace springs, which, it is calculated, will be more easy and safer than those with four. The Manchester and Birmingham have reducedtheir first and second-class fares, the latter from 5& 6d. to 4.% 4d., and the former from 7s. to ss. 6(1. On nearly all the southern, and some other railways, a practice now prevails of issuing day tickets, by which indi viduals can proceed from one town to another and return on the same day at one-third less than the usual charge; they can also leave home on Saturday and return on the following Monday, at the same reduced rate. The total number of passengers that reached the Swinton station for the Doncaster races amounted to 3,379, being 800 more than last year. The receipts for their con veyance amounted to 1,1001., and the increase of passengers on the whole line, for seven days, exceeded 2,000. The Directors of the Newcastle, DUrham, and Lancashire Junction, have decided on forming a united Company with the Manchester, Liverpool, and Great North of England Union Railway, under the name of the Northumberland and Lancashire Junction Railway. The shareholders will be en titled to two shares of twenty pounds in the new Company, in exchange for each share in the present Company. SALISBURY.—At the last meeting of the Town Council, to consider which line from Manchester to Salisbury should be supported, the line first proposed to the public was Mr. Walkinshaw's; subsequently a line was started by Mr. Lacy. On a division the numbers stood thus :—For Walk inshaw's line, 11.—Mr. Brodie, Dr. Finch, Messrs. Alford, Smith, Cooper, Cobb, Brownjohn, Charles Finch, Lucas, Fulford, Minty. For Lacy's line, 12.—The mayor (Mr. Kelsey), Messrs. Stevens, Cother, Hussey, Pain, Hetley, Brown, Blackmore, jun., Mackrell, Everett, Foot, Minty. Messrs. Pain and Hetley are directors of Lacy's line, and if these be deducted, as interested parties, Walkinshaw's line had a majority of disinterested votes. Mr. Walker, the engineer, has announced that it is per fectly practicable to form a double line between Newbury and Bath, and at the same time to preserve the navigation. THE WELSH MIDLAND.—Mr. Robert Stephenson and Mr. Gibbs, the engineers to this Company, are now engaged in 'surveying the line, definitely fixing all matters of detail, and determining the case with which the Company shall enter Parliament. Mr. Stephenson proceeded to Worcester on Wednesday last, and will, with the assistance of Mr. Gibbs, inspect the whole line. Connected with the express trains on the Manchester and Birmingham, a leading carriage is attached to the tender for the use of the guard, who, in future, will be protected from the keen air. It is laden with three tons of iron, to prevent the train from oscillating. The Leeds and Bradford have voted 2001. to the "mis sionaries" ministering amongst the workmen on their line. CHESTERFIELD AND GAINSBOROUGH.... 4 meeting has just been held at Chesterfield ; Mr. C. Cotteiham in the chair. There were present several canal proprietors and gentlemen from Retford. A discussion took place, which ended in a determination to carry out the project. GLOUCESTER AND FOREST OF DEAN.—On Saturday a meeting of parties interested in the .development, of the re sources of the Forest of Dean, was held at Gloucester, for the purpose of securing a communication, by means of the pro posed lines, with the mineral districts of the Forest. AMALGAMATION OF THE DUBLIN AND BELFAST AND GREAT COUNTY DOWN LINES. The following, we understand, are the terms of this amal gamation 1— 1. The line of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company is to be continued from a point north of Newry, direct to Belfast, there to meet the line of the Great County Down Company, that is to proceed by way of Downpatrick—the two lines to have a common terminus at Belfast, which is to be erected at the joint expense of the two Companies. The Junction line is to be carried from Newry to Belfast, in a direction almost parallel with the existing mail-coach -road —that is to say, on by the Loughbricklands, through Ban bridge and Dromore, to Hillsborough, there to diverge to the north-eastward, and proceed right up to Belfast quay. 2. The Great County Down Company is to subscribe to the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company one-half of the capital necessary for constructing their direct extension line from Newry to Belfast : the former company to receive, in propor tion to the capital thus invested by them, one-half of the pro fits of the whole line of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company, from Drogheda to Belfast. 3. The making of the line, from or near Newry to Belfast, is to be entrusted to the Dublin and Belfast Junction Com pany, with such a proportion of the directory of the Great County Down Company, placed on the management of the Junction, as shall be equal to a fair representation of the amount of the capital invested. 4. The Great County Down Company is to be entrusted to make the line from Newry to Warrenpoint, and the line from Newry to Belfast, by way of Downpatrick, together with that part of the main trunk line which is to extend from the com mon terminus at Belfast to the harbour and packet-station of Donaghadee. 5. The two companies undertake mutually to co-operate, and to the utmost of their power to render each other assist ance, in carrying their respective Bills entire through both Houses of Parliament. By the proposed line, a direct communication between Edinburgh and Dublin, with only two hours' sea-passage, will be established ; the passengers, &c., conveyed to Dona ghadee by the trains of the J unc ti on and Great County Down Companies, and thence by the mail-packets to Portpatrick, proceeding to the Scottish metropolis by the trains of the British and Irish Union. The Midland Great Western (Dublin to Galway) Direct Company announce an extension from igullingar to Galway, in connexion with th e li ne f rom B a lli nasloe to Kilkenny, and that arrangements have been make for securing the co-opera tion of the English Grand J unction Company, who have agreed to take 2,000 shares. Messrs. Moss, Mozeley, and Sanders, Directors of the Grand Junction, have been added to the directory. THE Lusa LINES.—The following statistical summary shows that the total length of new lines granted last session, and now in progress of formation, amounts to 613 miles, and the total capital to be outlayed in the employment of labour in their formation to 7,465,0002 :—Belfast and Ballymena, 374 miles, capital 385,0001. ; Cork and Bandon, 20i miles, capital 240,0001.; Dublin and Belfast Junction, 73i miles, capital 950,000/. ; Dublin and Drogheda, 3.1 miles, capital 40,000 L ; Dundalk and Enniskillen, 404 miles, capital 750,0001. ; Great Southern and Western, 98* miles, capital % 1,200,0001,.; Great Western (Dublin to Mullingar and Athlone), 77* miles, capital 1,000,0001.; Londonderry and Coleraine, 39 miles, capital 500,0001. ; Londonderry aid Enniskillen, 56i miles, capital 500,0001• ; Newry and Enniskillen, 55-1 miles, capital 900,000/. ; Waterford and Kilkenny, 37i miles, capital 250,0001. ; Waterford and Limerick, 78 miles, capital 750,000/. Total : 613 miles, capital 7,465,0001. DEPOSITS UPON RAILWAY PROJECTS.--AS the end of the year is now approaching, numberless conjectures are afloat as to the time and manner in which the large deposits accruing upon railway projects must be placed in the hands of the Accountant -General. At a moderate estimate the sums which will thus have to be provided amount to no less than 30,000,0001. sterling, more than the whole circulation of the Bank of England, and, perhaps, three times as much as could be withdrawn at any one time without seriously embar rassing the whole currency of the country. From the result of the most careful inquirieson this subject, we can state that there is n.ot an individual in the City, however experienced in mcroetary affairs, who is able satisfactorily to his 0-Am mini, to explain how this money is to be provided, esre s i a ll y if a large proportion is called for at the same time, which is likely to b e th e case. T he questi there fore, universally ask e d, an d w hi c h would Pr oba b ly puzzle how m uc h Accountant-General e, hi a m n s d el w f h to at i s, 7, , 0u1d be d one w ith i t w t h o e u l A d rwahilewnayindleiipsopsiotss, s sesiusiotnea?d of t in p a r i e2er: c the morey arising from ing any scarcity, ra th er in because it p asses i nto the chand s reas e soft thethe p various a b b a u p da :mars to the railway companies, who, of course, employ it main to the extent to which they con sider they may sPfiely and prudentl = y do so.

DEMOLITION OF THE NEW PRISON.--This build. ing was erected so far back as the reign of James 11. It was intended to hold a much less number originally than it has afforded room for latterly, two wings having been added to it, at an expense of nearly 40,000/. The building is now being removed, and in its place a model prison will be erected, from the design of Major Jebb, Mr. Wentworth Russell, and Mr. Crawford, the prison inspector,. The new building will contain separate cells, and the number of prisoners for which provision will be made is estimated at 270, including both sexes. The officers will wear uniforms, as at the Pentonville and Millbank prisons, and will be subject to the same kind of military discipline. Mr. Grimsdell, of Sun-street, Bishops gate, is the builder, and his contract amounts to 30,000/., independent of the old building materials, which are calcu lated to be of the value of from 10,0001. to 12,000/. The builder is under terms to complete the prisoner in eighteen months from the present time. MARYLEBONE VESTRY.—On Saturday at the meet ing of this vestry, the answer of the Poor-law Commissioners to the depuation respecting th e p ropose d asylums for the houseless poor was read by the vestry-clerk. The substance of the reply was, that having considered the remonstrances of the d eputation, the Commissioners saw no reason why they should alter their determination. Mr. Mechi then moved that all matters should be referred to the committee already appointed. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. Ridgway then brought forward a motion for a return of the number of policemen employed in St. John's -wood. He said he had made inquiries as to the number of men preambulat ing that district, and had been informed that there were five by day and twenty-five by night. He did not think that was sufficient for the class of houses and the money obtained from them. He also wished to ascertain the amount of poor's rates levied upon the h ouses, and desired that application should be made to the Commissioners for this information. The motion was agreed to. IMPUDENT FRAUD. —On Saturday afternoon the following impudent fraud was successfully played off upon Miss Dorcas Jones, a maiden lady, residing in North-row, Gray's Inn-lane :—Two men b roug h t her a letter, purport ing to be from her nephew, Mr. Alfred Jones, informing her that he was then a prisoner in a sponging house, in Chan cery-lane, for a debt of 30/. 145., and imploring her to ad vance him that sum, so that he might obt a i n his liberation and be able to attend his father's funeral. Miss Jones, who is an aged lady, was so worked upon by the artful representations of the fellows, that she placed the money in their hands to liberate her nephew. Mr. Jones called upon his aunt in the evening, when the fraud was discovered, and, from the writ ing of the note being an exact counterpart of Mr. Jones's, it is suspected that some acquaintance, who has had opportu nities of observing it, has concocted this impudent fraud. SUICIDE IN A WATER-BUrre—Sunday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, a determined suicide was discovered to have been committed by a female sixty years rof age, named Mary Lay - cock, residing in Crown-street, Soho square. A lodger in the house having gone into the back yard for the purpose of filling a tea-kettle of water from the water-butt,discovered the unfortunate woman's heels hanging over the side of the butt, and her head downwards in the water. An alarm being raised, the body was got out, but life had been some time extinct. Not any cause is assigned ibr the committal of the rash act. EXPORTATION OF BRICKS.--A vessel which left the India Docks a day or two since—the Persian, we believe, for Ceylon—took out with her, as ballast, upwards of one million bricks, for the purpose of erecting a coffee mill in that place, the buildings there being made principally of wood. Con sidering the enormous masses of buildings at present isconrse of erection in the metropolis and suburbs, it is remarkable how so large number of bricks can conveniently be s p are d f extraneousa Purposes. DORHAM COUNTY AGRICUL- TURAL SOCIETY. SUNDERLAND, FRIDAY, SErr. 26.—Yesterday the fourth annual meeting and exhibition of this Society was held at Sunderland. The show took place, in the park attached to the rectory of Bishopweannouth, which was granted for the occasion by the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Wellesley. The cattle shown were not ad numerous as at the preceding exhibitions at Durham, Darlington, and Stockton, but some of the animals were considered by competent judges the best ever exhibited in the kingdom. The exhibitors were almost entirely from Durham, Northumberland, and Yorkshire. There was a large attendance of visitors on the ground, amongst whom we noticed the Earl of Hardwicke, the Hon. H. T. Liddell, M.P., Mr. I. J. Wawn, M.P., Mr. Crofton, of Holywell, the celebrated breeder of Durham short-horns, and several ether influential gentlemen connected with this and the neighbouring counties. At the close of the show, the members and friends of the society dined together in the Polytechnic Hall of the Athe nmuni.• Upwards of 170 sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Donkin, of the Bridge Hotel. In the ab sence of J. Bowes, Esq., M.P., the P res id en t o f t h e So ciety, the chair was ta ken by J. Fawcett, Esq., of Durham. The vice chair was filled by T. Shaftoe, Esq., of Whitworth. On the right of the chair were the Mayor of Sunderland (James Allison, Esq.), R. E. D. Shattoe, Esq., Rowland Burdon, Esq., (Chairman of the county), J. H. Aylmer, Esq., John Eden, Esq., of Beamish ; Wm. Robinson Robinson, of Silks worth ; J. Brown, Esq., M.D.; and Joseph Simpson, Esq.; on the left, the Earl of Hardwicke, Hon. Henry T. Liddell, M.P. ; Henry Liddell, Esq. ; Henry John Spearman, Esq., of Newton Hall ; Colonel Beckwith, of Silksworth ; Colonel To*er, of Elemore Hall ; Hon. Archibald Cochrane, of Cleasby, &c. We also observed M. H. Chaytor, W. Fea therstonhaugh, R. FenwiCk, H. Morton, Esqrs., ece. Grace was said by the Rev. Mr. Leefe, Senior Citrate of Bishop wearmouth. After the usual loy al toasts, The Hon. H. T. LIDDELI, in proposing " Success to the county of Durham Agricultural Society," apologised for his neglect in not having hitherto become a member, but pro mised to repair the fault before another anniversary. His Noble Father, however, was a patron and subscriber and, this might perhaps induc e th e meet i ng the more readily to accept his apology. He regretted that the stock shown, though distinguished for excellence, was only small in quantity, and he looked forward to a better exhibition next year. The Royal Agricultural Society would hold its meeting, in 1846, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and he bad no doubt that an additional stimulus would be thereby given to local interests, and that the Durham Society would be found growing in numbers and importance' as years roll on.—(Great cheering.) He could not sit down without making a few observations on a subject in which he bad been in some degree forestalled by his Noble relative (the Earl of Hardwicke), who had spoken so much to their satisfaction, and who was himself a practical agriculturist, and a distinguished member of the Royal Agri cultural Society. His Noble Friend had, with great truth and judgment, shown that it was in vain-to look for benefit to be derived from modern improvement and the discoveries of science, unless, in the first place, they applied themselves to what might be termed the rudimental points of agriculture. The land must be laid dry before they attempted to apply to it the aids of manure. Much remained to be done in many portions of this county. No one could take the short journey from Sunderland to Gateshead without seeing on both sides of the railway fields flooded with water which ought to be carried off by drains ; and if ever there was one year which, more than another, showed the advantages of draining to the most unobservant eye, and in which the spirit and enterprise of the farmer who has bestowed his capital judiciously on his land will be recompensed, this is the year.—(Loud applause.) We have had in the northern counties a cold and backward summer, yet in the north of Northumberland, and particu larly in those luxuriant districts on the other side of the Tweed, blessed by a fertile soil, but still more by an indus trious and wealthy tenantry and landlords who have devoted their attention to the improvement of their land, he had never teen such magnificent crops, and which, by the blessing of God, were now almost entirely housed in the garners of the growers. Why, 30 years ago, before those cold and wet lands were properly drained, cultivated, and manured, the crops would have been drowned in the soil.—(Applause.) It be came the duty of all who are interested in the land, but particularly the landowners, to give their attention to these points, and to promote by every possible means agricultural improvement, that prodnction may keep pace with that rapid increase of population of which his noble relative had spoken. —(Applause.) He (Mr. Liddell) agreed with the much canvassed proposition, that property has its duties as well as its rights, and there was no duty more incumbent upon those who are the possessors of property than put 4 o f a ss i s ti ng their tenantry in making the most of thes°.Al which they are deputed to cultivate, and thereby confe,:eing those blessings on the farmer in the first instance, and the community at large in :the second, which iay ' be attained, and which, under the blessing of Prov - i d ene , I trust will be attained. He had brought before heir notice the magnificent crops to be seen in situaticros where the land has been properly drained and cuP:teated ; he held up the growers of these crops as exP:inples for the farmers of Durham to follow ; he was sil'A they had the inclination—he doubted not that they skill and industry—he hoped they had the means to lienefit by it; so that by those exertions not only them selves, but the whole population of this mighty countrymight be benefited, and so they might more and more keep pace with the exigencies of a greatly increasing population. He believed that if this country were properly cultivated, they would be able, with occasional assistance from foreign markets, to supply the wants of their fellow- countrymen, and thus by their exertions, their children's children to the remotest pos terity would receive advantage from their labours.—(Drank with loud and reiterated cheers.) Several other toasts were proposed, and speeches made on the occasion. • LICHFIELD and MIDLAND COUN TIES AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. This show, though in number not great, was in point of quality good. Mr. Arkwright, son of the celebrated manu facturer of that name, took the chair, and Lord . lngestre, the eldest son of Lord Talbot, officiated as Vice-Chairman. Mr. ARKWRIGHT addressed the agricultural labourers with very great effect. Be urged upon them the necessity of in dustry; he also pressed upon them the necessity of attend ing to their children's education. and said they had exhibited that day proofs of what could be done by attention to the in structions of their landlords. Lord Ingestre and Captain Dyott, in the course of the evening, addressed the company, and were much applauded. Colonel ANSON (the Member for South Staffordshire), on rising, said he regretted extremely that he had but little property in the county—that, in consequence of his having so little, he had been induced to take other pursuits; but that, if ho had been a landed proprietor, he should have followed another course of procedure. He (Colonel Anson), however, always thought, as regarded the landlord and tenant, there were mutual obligations ; that a landlord had a right to ask what terms he pleased for the price of his land, and a tenant had just the same right to make terms as to its occupancy. The Gallant Officer proceeded to say, it had' always struck him that there was a great mistake existing between the landlord and the tenant. If the land was worth anything, it was worth the price which the tenant eould af ford to give for it ; and it could not be expected that the landlord would ask more than the land was worth, for it was great nonsense to suppose that people could let land or take land, except upon mutual terms. Captain Dirorr, the late candidate for the southern divi sion of the county, said he had the honour to propose the health of Lord Anson and the Queen's Own Stafford shire Yeomanry. It was to him a matter of sincere congratulation, although he had opposed the family in the representation of the county, to see the scion of . that worthy house present upon flint occa sion. He (Captain Dyott) believed he might say, that however they might differ in' politics from the Earl of Lichfield, whose absence on account of indisposition they extremely regretted, they could not do otherwise than ex press pleasure in the presence of his son. The Gallant Cap tain concluded by proposing, " The health of Lord Lichfield, Lord Anson, and the Staffordshire Yeomanry." Lord ANSON, apparently a young and diffident nobleman, then rose and said he felt much obliged by the complithent just paid to his father by the company. It was to him a very high degree of pleasure to find his father noticed by the Staffordshire, and all he (Lord Nilson) could man, although he w as re l uc t an t to saygentlemen was this, m ofs a s ayoung do so, he would be happy to take the chair on the next occa. sion.—(Loud cheers.) So soon as the routine of these toasts had taken place, a gentleman, apparently a stranger to the company, walked down the centre of the room, and addressing the chairman said, Mr. Arkw,right, we have heard a great deal of landlords, and we have Milo heard a great deal of agricultural labourers, and we haveliad a very pleasing exhibition of those persons to-day ; but I want to call your attention to agricultural tenants, of whom we have heard little or nothing. The Noble Lord (Lord Ingestre) has been pleased to talk about leases, and also of game— The gentleman was about to discuss the question, but was interrupted by Captain Dyott and others, members of the association, who contended the question could not be legiti mately introduced. We understood the gentleman to be a Mr. Boddington, of Erdington, and it was ascribed to him to be one of the Anti-Corn-law League; but unquestionably so soon as the chairman called him to order he sat down apparently content to abide by the rules of the association. There is little doubt but this was the first introduction of young Lord Anson, the eldest son of the Earl of Lichfield, to the farmers of South Staffordshire. He is apparently ayoung nobleman of promise, and destined, if family influence can carry it, to be the future member for the southern division of Staffordshire. It is well known that the meetings at Lichfield the last three or four years have derived their principal importance from the expected presence of the Premier, Sir Robert Peel. Last year he was to have been president of the dinner, but owing to the illness of his daughter he was legitimately excused. This year he had a call from her Majesty, and on Saturday, with Lady Peel, left Drayt on Manor for O s b orne ' House Isle of Wight. The a b sence o f th e P rem i er h a d a most decided influence upon the present meeting, for, although there were present such gentlemen as Mr. Ark wright, Mr. Levett, and other influential agriculturists of the county, it seemed to be pretty generally understood, that after this present exhibition, the Midland Counties Agricul tural Association would drop in public estimation. Th e spirit is gone, and the farmers seem content to be borne down by the stream. It may be satisfactory to state that in these, the midland districts of England, the crops are well housed, and appa rently very luxuriant. ' ARUNDEL AND BRAMBER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. k —The anniversary of the above institution was celebrated at ' the Norfolk Arms Hotel, Arundel, on Thursday. This pretty and ancient town was all alive, in consequence of the fair happening on the same day. His Grace the Duke of Nor ' folk presided at the dinner, which was a very excellent one, ' and we noti ce d near him ord Edward Howard, Sir Harry Dent Goring, M.P., and several influential gentlemen and farmers of the surrounding country. After dinner the can didates were called in, and his Lordship distributed to them the prizes awarded for breeding of stock, good character, long servitude, &c. The proceedings of the day were much en livened by the comic vocal talents of Mr. J. Bruton and Mr. Hare. The Noble Chairman stated that the prize of 501. offered by him last year to that farmer who should have the best cultivated farm at the smallest expense must be with drawn in future, in consequence of there being only two applicants in the field. He intended, however, to offer two prizes in lieu thereof—onefor drilling:the other for thatching. His Lordship recommended the eating of turnips to the tenantry during the prevalence of blight amongs the pota toes, and stated he had tried the effects of the diseased vege tables on one of his own pigs. The animal was fbd on them for ten days consecutively, and appeared to suffer to a certain degree, but it did not die; and, after this, lie thought "poor piggy" should have a better fate, and he was reinstated to his former food. Sir Harry D Goring spoke in advocacy of the usefulness of the institution, and the day was spent in the utmost harmony. RECRUITING FOR THE ORDNANCE CORPS.—Re cruiting for the Royal Artillery and Royal Sappers and Miners is rapidly proceeding, and a great number of fine young men are daily received at head-quarters (garrison at IVoolwich). This may solely be attributed to the bounty having been raised from 2/. 12s. 6d. to 5L 15s. 6d., to each recruit when approved and atteAted M head-pa:ter& FAILURE of the POTATO CROP. Although the favourable reports of the corn harvest have greatly allayed the feverish excitement into which the agri cultural and mercantile classes were thrown a few weeks ago, considerable anxiety continues to be felt respecting the potato crop, which is reported to have failed in a great part of England, in Belgium, Western Germany, and France, and in the United States of America. Some are disposed to believe that this vegetable is worn out, that it will soon dis appear from the class of edible roots, or at least that some new variety must he introduced to take the place of those in present use, which are doomed to extinction. It is one of the most singular facts in natural history that the parent stock of the potato has never been discovered; there is no wild potato to be found in the whole extent of South and North America, though men of science have eagerly sought for it in all their explorations of those continents. And yet its introduction into Europe is as well known, and as satis factorily ascertained in all its times and circumstances, as the origin of the steam-engine or the railroad. Sir Walter Raleigh brought the seed from some district in the neigh bourhood of the Isthmus of Panama, and planted it in the garden of the warden of the college of Youghal, which formed part of the forfeited monastic property granted to Raleigh by Elizabeth. The pature of the plant was so little understood, that when the potatoes grew up, the gar dener tried to use the seed-apples for food, and, finding them worthless, began to dig up the whole to throw them away. This led to the discovery of the tubers, which were tried, and found to be excellent. Here, however, our in formation stops short. All inquiries have failed to elucidate how cultivators were led to propagate by the tubers instead of by seed—a matter of great importance to growers, be cause the seeds will produce countless varieties, while the tuber continues to propagate its own specific variety. The rapid spread of potato cultivation in Ireland is equally un .explained. We have undoubted evidence that in less than a century it became, instead of a foreign rarity, an article of staple food, and we can trace historically the origin of all the potatoes now grown in the world to seed derived from Ire land. Since agricultural records have been kept with any attention, we have undoubted evidence that the varieties of the potato do degenerate; many of which old farmers used to boast, have either disappeared, or have lost so much of their nutritious qualities that they are only used for feeding cattle ; and this has been to a remarkable extent the case in France, where, to use a technical phrase, the potato has sported more varieties than in any other part of Europe. The Parisian dealers say that a new kind of potato comes into fashion every second year. We should be glad if men of science, many of whom are directing their attention to the present blight, would note whether some varieties are not more subject to the disease, and whether the evil is the more perceptible in the old varieties or in the new.—Birmingham Journal. THE POTATO Bucarr.—We regret to learn that the epidemic which has attacked the potato crops in this country and on the continent, has made its appearance in this neigh bourhood. Some of the allotmentors, we are informed, are likely to be sufferers from this blight.—Leicester Mercury. THE POTATO CROP.—Before th e b enc h o f mag i strates at St. Ives, on Monday last, were exhibited several samples of potatoes from different parts of the surrounding neigh bourhood—all much diseased—a fearful calamity for the country, as it appears to pervade nearly all parts of Eng land. That the disease is occasioned by excessive rains with diminished sunshine seems obvious. In the samples shown minute worms were visible, which, however, ap peared rather the effect than the cause of the disease, which was characterised by detached spots of discolouration.— Bedford Mercury, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MA I? LB 0R 0 UGH-STREET. Christopher Evans, a young man shabbily dressed, was charged with feloniously entering the dwelling-house of Mr. William Moore, the landlord of the Prince of Wales public house, in Norton-street, Marylebone, and stealing a new suit of clothes. ' Sarah Poison, servant to the prosecutor, stated that about half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night last she heard the footsteps of some person in the back room on the first floor, and on going up-stairs met a man, who had the suit of clothes on his arm, coming down. Pushing her violently on one side, he threw down the clothes and ran out of the house. A cry of " stop thief" was raised, and in a short time the prisoner was brought back in custody. William Hobson, of No. 2, Little Albany-street, Regent's Park, stated that he saw the prisoner running in Portland road, followed by several persons calling " stop thief." Wit ness secured him and gave him into the charge of the police. - The prisoner said he was innocent of the charge alleged against him ; he was never in the prosecutor's house in his life. Hearing the cry of " stop thief" in Portland-road, and seeingseveral persons running he ran with them u n til h e was takeninto custody, He knew nothing whatever of the suit of clothes. Mr. HannwicK ordered the priaoner to be remanded for further examination. CLERKENWELL. Mary Harris, a fine-looking country girl, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Combe, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. It appeared from the evidence of a constable of the G divi sion that, on Saturday evening last, at seven o'clock, he found the prisoner in Goswell-street, quite drunk, holding on to some railings, and surrounded by a crowd of persons. He took her to the station-house, and she was so exceedingly bad, that a doctor was called in to attend upon her; on recovering her senses, she asked for her umbrella and purse, which she missed. On being questioned she said her father was a farmer in the country. She came to town in an omnibus in which she met a lady and gentleman who were very kind to her, and on getting out of the vehicle they took leer to a public house, where theypiade her drunk and left her, after robbing her of her property. She refused to tell where her father lived, was much iffected, and threatened to commit suicide if they informed her father of what had happened. Mr. COMM ordered that she should be detained until she could be assisted home to her friends. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—On Friday considerable sensation prevailed in the City, consequent on a rumour that another accident of a serious nature had taken place on the London and Birming ham Railway. Thee circumstance which gave rise to this rumour was the fact that the letters which arrived in town from Liverpool and other places in that direction, per the Liverpool mail, were not delivered until upwards of an hour after the regular time. On the reporter instituting inquiries he had supplied to him officially, hy the authorities of the railway, the following particulars :—fhe four o'clock down luggage train left the Camden station forßirmingham yester pay morning at its usual hour, and proceeded at its prescribed pace down the line. On arriving within about a mile and a half of the Harrow station, and but a short distance from the West London Junction, the engine-driver of the luggage train was astonished to find his speed greatly to increase, and on looking round he discovered that the train had become detached, and that he was only proceeding with half the number of carriages he had set out with, He in stantly shut off the steam and put down his break, and the result was that the- detached portion of the train, which still had great impetus on it, ran into the waggons preceding with sufficient violence to throw them over, together with the merchandise they contained, on to the up-line. Two or three carriages were thus situated, and as the Liverpool mail train was nearly due, men were dispatched to stop it at the Harrow station, and a large body of men having been em ployed, the line was cleared, no further injury happening than the detention of the Liverpool mail fifty-three minutes beyond its proper time. The cause of the train becoming detached was the breaking of one of the coupling chains by which the carriages were connected together, on account of the immense strain upon it, created by the weight it had to bear, the train being an unusually long one. After con siderable delay the luggage train was enabled to proceed on itsurney. VESTRY MEETING, ST. PAUL'S, DEPTFORD.— On Thursday evening a vestry meeting of the parish of St. Paul, Deptford, was called for the purpose of defining what should be the duties of the person who might be elected to the vacant office of parish surveyor. The vestry having been opened with the usual formalities, and Mr. Churchwarden Press called to the chair, a long string of resolutions, de fining such duties, prepared by the parochial board, was read to the meeting. After some considerable discussion, it was moved by Mr. J. Wade that the resolutions proposed by the parochial board be adopted, and that the salary of the sur veyor be 60/. per annum. A person named Twyman attempted to address the meeting twice, amidst cries of "Turn him out," "Sit down," cheers, hisses, &c. Mr. Crossley then attempted to obtain a hearing; but it was some time before he could proceed, in consequence of the same disgraceful conduct, nor until the Chairman had several times called order, and requested a fair hearing for all. Mr. Cross ley then, in a speech ,of some length, during which he was frequently interrupted, gave his reasons for moving an amendment, which was, That this vestry do now adjourn for six Months." Again was the uproar repeated, and which lasted for some tithe. • However, on a show of hands being taken, the amendment was lost, and the original motion carried by a large majority. No sooner was it announced from the chair that the motion was carried, than some person in the body of the church exclaimed. "Ledger for ever"—(one of the candidates). This was responded to by this gentle man's partisans with three cheers, waving of hats, &c. ; and the same cheering was accorded to the chairman, on his receiving a vote of thanks. On leaving the church, Mr. Ledger's friends lined the porch and steps, and on that gen tleman making his appearance, received him with the Kentish fire."; PRESTONPANS.—The hundredth anniversary of the battle of Gladsmuir, or Prestonpans, which was fought on the 21st of September, 1745, was celebrated on Monday last, the 22d inst., by a pilgrimage to the scene of the battle, of the Mechanics' Friendly Society of Edinburgh, and the Preston pans Benefit Society, amounting in all to upwards of 120. members. The procession took place at Musselburgh, with bands of music and flags, and proceeded along to Prestonpans, and all the interesting points of the battle-ground were gone over, including the house of Colonel Gardiner, which was liberally shown to the societies on the occasion. In the even ing the parties returned highly pleased with their day's ex cursion. In connexion with the above, a gentleman in Leith bas a copy of the Caledonian Mercury, dated 23d of September, 1745, which contains a full account of the battle of Prestonpans, with the retreat of Cope, and a list of the killed and wounded, concluding with a manifesto of the " Prince," dated at Holyrood Palace, calling upon all his loving subjects to lay down their arms of rebellion against him. as the result of the battle had fixed his destiny.. When we look at this memorial of other years, and consider the change of 'events that followed, well may we exclaim, how ever trite the adage—" sic transit gloria mundi."—Caledonian lif rercury. P~VLLHELI.—The potato crops in this district appear, we are happy to say, in a more healthy state than in any other part of the country. We have accounts from all quarters of the existence of disease in the potato crops.—Carnarvon Herald. BRISTOL REGISTRATION.—The revision of the free man's lists at Bristol is concluded, and gives a gain to the Liberals of 82 votes, according to the statement of the Bristol Mercu'y. THE liEcisTuanoN.—At Devonport there has been a Liberal gain on the present registration of 115. The Devonport Independent says, " We believe this to be the largest accession to the Liberal cause before the revis ing barristers since the incorporation of the borough." I .4 .xEMPTIONS FROM PROPERTY AND IN COME• TAX. — The Board of Stamps and Taxes have extended until the 10th of October next, the period for claiming exemption from the property and income-tax for the last three years. DEATH OF BENSON HILL, THE COMEDIAN.—Ben son Hill, who was a harmonious and artistic actor, a facile • writer, and some time editor of the Old Monthly, died on the 7th inst., at an obscure abode in town, in penury and distress. The last employment Mr. Hill held was at the free-list of the Lyceum Theatre. Whilst attending to his duties here he caught a severe cold, which resulted in consumption, a disease that :mon proved fatal to him. His age was verging on fifty. Besides having been a popular actor, Benson Hill was the autht ►r of various light works of travel, and social novels, still inquired after in circulating libraries.

MARKET NE WS.-(YE S TERD A Y.) CORN-EXCHANGE The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market during last week, were on the increase; but those of Barley, Malt, Oats, and all other grain of home produce were on a very limited scale. Of Irish Oats, the receipts were tolerably good; the imports ofForeigu Wheat and Oats very extensive. of both red and white; yet - , as the attendance of London and country dealers was large, the demand for that article was very steady, at fully the advance obtained in the currencies on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected by the factors. The show of fine Foreign Wheat was, com paratively speaking, limited. The best qualities sold briskly, at extreme rates, while other kinds moved off steadily, at full prices. For Corn under lock for export, the inquiry was by no means so active as last week; nevertheless, the importers would not sell, except at fully the late improvement in the quotations. Very few parcels have been en ► tered for home consumption at the 17s. duty. We had very fine parcels of English Barley offering, and the show of Foreign was again small. Malting and grinding sorts sold freely, at very full prices; but distilling kinds were a slow sale. The best kinds of Malt, which were scarce, were in improved request, and last week's rates were well sup ported. The middling and inferior sorts were in sluggish request. Notwithstanding the immense arrivals of Foreign Oats, a good business was doing in _all descriptions, and late rates were sustained in every instance. A few parcels of Foreign Beans were taken for shipment. The demand for most kinds of English was firm, at the improvement in value noticed last week. White Peas were dearer ; but Grey and Maple were a slow sale, but not cheaper. Flour moved off slowly, at unaltered currencies. In Seeds very few sales were reported.

The past week's importations of live Stock into London have been again extensive—they having amounted to 61 Oxen from Hamburgh • 190 Oxen and Cows, to ge th er w ith 477 Sheep and 19 Calves, from Rotterdam, the whole or which have come to hand in good saleable condition. We had on offer 71 Oxen and Cows, and 150 Sheep, which moved off steadily, at previous quotations. The supply of home-fed Beasts was very extensive, even the time of year considered; yet their general quality was by no means first-rate. The attendance of butchers being some what numerous, the primest Scots, Herefords, Devons, &c., commanded a ready sale, at ftilly, but at nothing quotable beyond, the currencies obtained last week, viz., from 3s 8d to 4s per 81bs. In the middling and inferior breeds of Beasts, only a limited business was transacted, yet prices were supported. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and our other northern grazing districts, we received 2,200 short. horns ; from the Eastern Counties 300 Scots, homebreds and short-horns ; from the western and midland di s t r i c t s 500 Herefords, Devons, runts, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 350 of various kinds ; from Scot land, 130 Scots ; and from Ireland, 90 Beasts. The arrivals of Sheep still fall considerably short of those at the same time in 1844, owing to which the Mutton trade, to day, was very steady, particularly for long wools, and pre vious rates were obtained by the salesmen without difficulty. Lamb being now quite out of season, we have discontinued to quote it. The Veal trade was rather slow, and, in some in• stances, prices had a downward tendency.

With meat killed in the metropo lis, except Pork, we have been fairly supplied; yet the ge neral demand has ruled steady. Pork, from its extreme scarcity, is selling at much higher rates, while the value of Beef, Mutton, Lamb, and Veal is supported.

These markets still continue to be well supplied with Potatoes in middling condition. Ordinary samples are sell ing at 31155, the best parcels commanding higher rates. WOOL. The past week's importations of Wool have been extensive, viz. -1,200 bales from New South Wales, 18 ditto from Oporto, 263 ditto from Trieste, 137 ditto from Mogador, 40 ditto from Buenos Ayres, 2,600 ditto from Bombay, 263 ditto from Seville, 200 ditto front Hamburgh, 58 ditto from Leg horn, 6 ditto from Malta, and 10 ditto from Kutche. Owing to the approaching large public tales, very little is doing in the private contract market, yet the quotations are generally supported. _ _ _ BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.

HYTHE.—On Wednesday afternoon, about four o'clock, the body of a man, name unknown, was seen floating in the water nearly opposite Fort Sutherland by a preventive man on duty, who having procured assistance, had the body speedily brought ashore. No time was lost in giving infor mation to the coroner, who finding' that decomposition was fast advancing, immediately summoned a jury, which, after viewing the body, and hearing all the evidence that could be obtained, returned a verdict of " Found drowned." The body was given up to the parish authorities for interment. It is thought probable that the deceased was one of those un fortunate persons who lost their lives in the late wreck in the neighbourhood of Rye. Of course this is mere conjecture.-- Dover Chronicle. CURIOUS DOCUMENT.—A few days ago a curious document was discovered by the clerk of Crosthwaite Church, Keswick, whilst employed in searching one of the old register books. The interesting document above alluded to contained the appointment of Percival Radcliffe, clerk, by Oliver Crom well, to be the incumbent of the parish of Crosthwaite. This record bears date the 2d of November, 1652, and is conse quently 193 years old.—Carlisle Journal. On Sunday., a boy-preacher, from Belfast, held forth in the Market-square, South Shields. After each dis course, the father of the boy, assisted by the town-crier and other?, went round with hats, and took a collection (as stated by them) for his education.—Newcastle Chronicle. THE LEG OF A CAPTAIN TORN OFF.—OH Satur• day Capt. Owen Williams, of the Alfleida schooner, from Glasgow, engaged with a steamer to tow his vessel up to Runcorn. A hawser was passed to the steamer for that pur pose, and on the word being given to go a-head, it was found that by some means the captain's leg had become entangled in the hawser, and he could not be rescued until his foot was literally torn off above the ancle. He was immediately taken whore in great agony, and conveyed to the dispensary, where, about two hours after, he wasibrought up, and the stump am putated about the middle of the calf. We are happy to hear that the unfortunate patient is pronounced out of danger.— aze.ster Chronicle. POET OF BRISTOL.—A Committee of the Bristol Town Council has been appointed to negotiate with the Dock Company for the purchase of the dock property, with the view of improving the trade of the port by a reduction of the exorbitant dues which have for a long period been crippling the trade of the port.
