Prithee tho not reject us Till you've read our Prospectus. Early in November will be published, what every impartial in. dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metropolis a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR NAL, which it has been determined shall be called _ L D . g Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that we would have given a considerable sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by way of proxy. The ene would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do ; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Buiwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Alolesworth, but changed our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had enough to do in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place in our consideration, bxt his style would have been too spark ling and light for us; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied not only ix preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade out of M'Culloch's " Commercial Dictionary." • Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, and has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sie in studiis pulcherrimum, &e.) where he recom mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out of their city, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, corn pla4ning that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants for the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man aloe loves an honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—" the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the way, paid to our own humble exerti•ms by the honest Sheffield Iris)—" he never had the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection so bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " carryers of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads ; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designates the whole concern " A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailers say, but " non noster hic serum." It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something in the shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. " All that mortal art hath wrought, In our cell returns to nought; The molten gold returns to clay, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People, utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious mob ; Alike undone, or if he praise or rail; For this affects his safety, that his sale : He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt." We shall always be happy, when we can agree with those men who, however they may sometimes err, have rendered efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of liberty ; but we shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never likely to be realized— " My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day," We shall judge the Government by its acts, and shall oppose a'Premier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which, absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho lic Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary. when he resists the Ballot ;—or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined to grant an increase of popular privileges to the Irish people. Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene rally happy and contented until she again has the advantage of a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by arguments and facts, to advocate the REPEAL OF THE UNION, as not more beneficial to Ireland than the Sister Kingdom. We will bring into the field the heavy artillery of reason, aided by the light brigade of wit and humour. We shall be staid with the steady, and mirthful with the light-hearted. Pursuing " the even tenor of our way," we shall " run on glittering like a brook in the sunshine," " From grave to gay, from lively to severe. " The Statesman will find us political, and the Lawyer will discover that w e k now a thing or two ; the Phys i c i an s h a ll proclaim us lovers of the healing art ; the Sportsman shall learn that we can clear a country with him. " THE WORLD" to the Lady of Fashion shall be as a Court Gazette, and the Agricultu r i s t s h a ll not have to complain shall our receive ence ; the interests of th e Merchant and Manufacturer close attention ; t h e U nited Service e have e " i k will find us, as of old, at tached to the c l ot h ; we shall ‘ta robes about us" with t h e P oet ; visit our garla n d an d s i ng i n g isi and deal our imparti a l cr i t i c i sm at th e theha studio of the A r tist; Every number of " THE WORLD," in richn ess an d var i e t y will be a Magazine ; a n d arrangements ht v been made to embellish its columns with sketches from cils of the day. ,c THE WORLD" will be a large quarto, • su perior type upon first-rate paper, and will be published with Satu'rday morning, with Si late edition for thePueo 'shed every con taining all the London, Dublin, and Provincial IntelligenceunrY'wnto the dispatch of the evening snails.

PROSSER, Civil Engineer is distin pushed from all oth ers b y i ts entire freedom from ' dust or smoke,its great economy of fuel, and its perfect safety from fire. It has been a source of great comfort in the nursery and ned-room of he invalid, affording an uniform temperature through the day and night, with only one supply, while the most delicate test cannot detect anything arising from its use which is injurious to health—it merely warms.the air without decomposing it; and, as there is no door, none of the gases generated by combustion can pass into the apa r t men t. Wherever warmth is required, this Stove is applicable. It is as desirable for the drawing-room as the laundry ; for warming greenhouses it possesses extraordinary claims, the . very great expense of building flues, and afterwards the immense con sumption of fuel, being avoided. For workshops and ships' cabins it is invaluable ; it requires attention only once in twenty-four hours, during which time the cost will not exceed twopence. Price, Plain, 31. ; Fluted, 31. 108.

WOODTHORPE. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT. SEPD. 25. Robert Hugh, Franks, the hatter, whose case ap peared in The Sun of yesterday ; again came up. The case, it was admitted, had resolved itself into the investigation respecting th e d ee d of assignment made to Mr. Thompson, for the benefit of the creditors, which it was alleged, on the part of the opposing creditors, had benefited the insolvent, and not the body of the creditors. Mr. COOKE, the opposing Counsel, strenuously con tended, notwithstanding the opinion given by the Court, that there had been a collusion between the insolvent and others, by which the creditors had been deprived of considerable property. The history of the case was short. The insolvent was a bankrupt in 1837, when he owed 8,0001., which now remained due, and in less than two years he again failed, owing upwards of 3,000/. ; for 2,900/., he had obtained consideration, giving up ; as appeared from his schedule, debts to 433/. Th e insolvent had suffered not the slightest inconve nience, he had not been deprived of his place of busi ness, and had remained at large with a good stock in trade, and the creditors were to look on it as the result of a fair and honest proceeding. The books had not been filed, the creditors had obtained no information, nor were they to be benefited by the stock on the premises, the whole being protected by Mr. Thompson, who was called a trustee for the creditors ; he was trustee for the insolvent and no other person. He submitted that the deed was fraudulent— that the property had been wasted. The insolvent had called it a "protective instrument." If that was the case why had he not gone to prison on his arrest, and given up the property to the court ? The deed was invalid, havin g been made within three months, and it was now admitted that the property would be given up. These circumstances rendered this cdse one of no ordi nary occurrence, and one that required the vigilance of the Court on the part of the creditors. Ultimately the case was adjourned to Wednesday, the 9th October, and the account ordered to be filed on Saturday next. Mary Mellon, who was before the Court some time ago, again appeared. She was opposed by Mr. Wood roffe, on the part of the creditors, and supported by Mr. Cooke. It was contended that the insolvent had made away with her property, and very strong language was used towards her. The insolvent, who had been out on bail, was com mitted to prison. SHERIFFS' CO URT—TxuRsDAr. PARK V. MORGAN. This was an action to recover the amount of a milk score. The defendant had purchased a milk walk from the proprietor, and the plaintiff agreed to supply them with milk.* The witnesses for the plaintiff proved that the milk was delivered regularly fora certain period to Gwinifield Morgan, the cousin of the defendant. Th e defence set up was, that the defendant was not liable for the debt, for that, in fact, he had lent his cousin the money to purchase the milk walk, and that she it was who was indebted. The case excited considerable amusement from the manner in which the examination of the witnesses was conducted by the Counsel. The Jury returned a verdict for 71. 175., being the full amount claimed. CAIN V. LORD CHURCHILL. This case came on for trial this morning. The plaintiff, James Cain, is a carver and gilder residing at Richmond, and the defendant, Lord Charles Spencer Churchill, is now residing at No. 14, Wyndham-street, Bryanston-square ; and the action was brought to re cover the sum of 61. 4s. Gd. for oak and gold picture frames, to which the defendant pleaded the statute of limitations in bar to the claim. Witnesses were called on behalf of the plaintiff, but they only succeeded in proving the delivery of a pair of gold and oaken frames, with the glasses, in May, 1833, of the value of 51. The Jury, under the direction of the Under Sheriff, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the last-mentioned amount. BROWNE V. CHURCHILL. This action was brought against the same defendant for the sum of 21. 12s. 6d., for goods supplied in the year 1834 and 1835 by the plaintiff, a linendraper of Oxford -street. _ It was proved that some silk handkerchiefs, blankets, and a rug, were ordered by the defendant, and the goods were delivered (with the exception of one article of 35., which his Lordship took away in his pocket) at his reiidence in Wyndham-street. The Jury found for the amount claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HO USE. SINGULAR CASE OF DESERTING ' A WlFE.—A r lk ur Hughes, who stated that he had been the commander of a vessel, was brought before the Lord Mayor under the following singular circumstances : It appeared from the statement of Emma Hughes, the wife of the prisoner, that lie married her about four years ago, and after sleeping with her for one night he deserted her, and she saw him no more until yesterday, when she met him in Cheapside, in the company of a woman, and gave him in charge. She had been informed that he had another wife living. Hughes, in answer to the charge, said that about four years ago he came to London, and in seeking for lodg ings, me; with the complainant, who directed him to her father's house, where there was a parlour and bed room to let. He was informed that there were ten or fifteen hundred pounds belonging to the girl, which would be made over to her if he married her. She also said that she had received a good education, and played the piano to perfection. He took very little notice of all this, until one evening the father urged him to marry her, and he accordingly went to the Vicar-General and obtained a special license. They were married the next day, and he' went away the day following, not finding his wife what he expected her to be. On his return to London some time afterwards, he ascertained that his wife had been sleeping with the steward of his vessel, and also with one of the ordinary seamen. He also found t h at known for f v or two came you she was a common street-walker in the Commercial- roa d. The LORD MAYOR—You ought not to make suc h charges without being able to p r o ve t hem. If you can bring evidence to p rov e her a common str ee t- walker, I will hear it, but if you do not i t w il l be worse fo r y ou . Hughes affirmed that he could d o so. The to marry or three days.

The 'Loup MAYOR_ Yes, unless you can find good bail. The prisoner was then remanded. Maria was committed for trial, for stealing a drs4 from the shop of Mr. Moses Hart, of 29, Houndsditch. GUILDHALL. Charlotte Hemp and Louisa Marlin, Who were re- E: Trillium Peelszilortli was charged with having de frauded his employer, Mr. Wood, of Lad-lane. George Ha'ford, managing clerk to Mr. Wood, de posed that the prisoner was employed as a bookbinder, and that part of his duty was to pay some of th e work people for sewing books and marbling, the money for which purpose he received from witness. In the book kept by the prisoner there were weekly entries of from 2s. to Cs. per week, which had never been paid. The sum really paid to one old woman was 2/. Is. 7d., for which the prisoner had charged 5/. 15s. 10d., and received the money. The prisoner was remanded in order to afford time for further inquiry, it having been stated that there were several other similar cases against him. IRREGULAR ATTENDANCE.—CompIaints have fre quently been made of the delay occasioned by the irre gular attendance of the Magistrates at this office. This morning a formal complaint was made by Mr. Crouch, b oo kbi n d er, who sometime ago applied for the discharg e of an apprentice from his indentures. He stated that he had attended day after day, and taken out a great many summonses, which he believed had cost him not less than 20s. In fact, the officers were so ashamed of the case that they had declined making any charge for the last two or three summonses. Yes terday Mr. A klerman.Humphery went away, and there was no Alderman present for more than an hour, and it was almost impossible to get two Aldermen together. BOTV-STREET. Yesterday, Mrs. Wood, pawnbroker, of High-street, Bloomsbury, appeared upon the information of Birch for taking one halfpenny more than she was entitled to upon 2s. 3d. pledge. Mr. Humphries, who attended for the defendant sub mitted that the information should mention the minimum penalty as well as the maximum, which was 101. The informer handed in the Police Courts' Bill, which provides for such an objection, as the Magistrate can impose a lower penalty than is specified by the Pawn brokers' Act. Mr. Humphries said the circumstance occurred through the ignorance of the person who acted in the ab sence of the defendant's son. Mr: Thomas Wood proved that he was in Franc e when the information was laid, and on the day he left home a young man took his place. He knew Birch to be a common informer. Mr. Humphries—Then it would appear he has laid the information for a moiety of the penalty, and not for the public good. Mr. Wood'added that his assistant had not been in the business for the last two years. Mr. Humphries said that such interest had been taken for the last forty years, and it was only since the decision in the Court of King's Bench that the altera tion had taken place. Mr. JARDINE having referred to the 34th section of Police Courts' Bill, said, that as the offence was corn mittA through ignorance, he would avail himself of the power granted to him by the Bill, and inflict a mitigated penalty of ls. with costs. The informer having pocketed only sixpence by the job, sneaked off with his witness, who was not asked one question upon the subject. AGRICULTURAL MEETING AT EPSOM. 'esterday a meeting, composed of upwards of 200 of the most influential gentry, farmers, and others inte rested in agriculture, residing in the western division of the county of Surrey, took place at the Spread Eagle Inn, Epsom, for the purpose of celebrating the tenth anniversary of tile Surrey Agricultural Association. This Association has, since its commencement, been productive of very great advantage to the county, and has been the means of greatly ameliorating the condi tion of the labouring population. During the present year there have been one hundred and fourteen claims from agricultural servants for lengthened periods of ser vitude and good conduct, and the Committee have ascertained the cheering fact, that there still exists among the labouring classes, notwithstanding the many trying difficulties they have to encounter, a large body of honest and deserving men, who have not only con tinued in the same service for periods varying from 25 to 60 years, with unimpeached characters, but have been enabled to bring up large families without pa rochial aid. In the early part of the day a ploughing match took place, in a piece of land belonging to D. W. Lewers, Esq., near Epsom. The healthy appearance of the la bourers contending for the prizes, and the ardour with which they struggled for supremacy, were most gratifying. The company afterwards dined together at the Spread Eagle. Among them we noticed John Trotter, Esq. (Chairman) ; I'. L. Hope, Esq., M.P. ; Capt. Perce val, M.P. ; C. Barclay, Esq. ; Hon. T. G. Howard ; Hon. T. P. Courtney ; Sir John Reed ; Captain Lem priere ; J. H. Tate, Esq. ; H. Gosse, Esq. ; D. Bar clay, Esq. ; J. Bonsor, Esq. ; Captain Barrett ; John Cressingham, Esq. ; L. D. Maydwell, Esq. The CHAIRMAN, when the cloth was removed, pro posed the health of her Majesty, which was received with the utmost enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Queen Dowager, and in so doing observed, that in whatever station that illustrious lady had been placed, whether as the Queen Consort, or when the cares of Royalty devolved upon her, she had always conducted herself in a way to entitle her to the love and affection of the people of England.—(Cheers.) The next toast was the Army and Navy, which was responded to by Captain Percival and Capt. Parrott. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Lord Liontenant of the county, Lord Arden, a Nobleman who had always been anxious to do all in his power for the interest of the county, and who was a staunch friend to agriculture. With th at toast h e would couple that of the Magistr a te s of the County. The Hon. Captain PEacrvne returned thanks on behalf of his father, and assured the meeting that al. though he was prevented from coming among them that he was a very great friend to the institution, and wished it the success it deserved for the patriotic object for which it had been established.—(Cheers.) Mr. Gossx, in returning thanks on behalf of the Magistracy, observed that they were all agreed that meetings of this description did a great deal of good. It was at all tim es b ene fi c i a l to b r i ng diffrent parties together in friendly and cheerful communion, and it tended to soften down those asperities and feelings of unkindness which so frequently existed. Meetings of this kind, however, had a nobler object—they were met together to reward the merit of the honest and industrious labourers of the county—and thereby induce them to see the value and importance of persevering in habits of industry and integrity.—(Hear, hear.) The poor man had many difficulties to contend with, and it was the duty of these who were placed in a higher sta tion of life to encourage them to surmount those difficul ties, and nothing gave him more pleasure than to see those honest men receive the prizes to which they were entitled. He loved to see their honest pride at being raised above their fellow-labourers, as he was sure it would be the incentive to further exertions. He hoped that this excellent Association would continue to flou rish, and he was quite sure that funds would never be wanted for its support.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Members for the western division of the county, and said he regretted that Mr. Denison was prevented by illness from being present that day.—(Cheers.) Capt. PERCIVAL said it was at all times a painful task to return thanks for such kindness as that with which the meeting had been pleased to drink his health. He regretted that the absence of his Honourable Colleague was occasioned by illness, and he should have been glad that he had been present to witness the manner in which his health had been drunk, as it would have shown him that the course he had pursued with regard to one measure that had been introduced during the last Ses sion had given the greatest satisfaction to his consti tuents.—(Hear, hear.) It was hardly necessary for him to say that he alluded to the attack which had been made upon the Corn-laws. The same agitation ap peared to be again rapidly gaining ground, and he there fore felt it to be his duty to state that his (Captain Per cival's) opinion remained totally unchanged ; lie should continue to oppose any change in that system, and he would not give his support to any measure in any way affecti ng th e C orn -l aws, w hi c h wou ld not g i ve t h e agricul tural interest a greater share of protection than they at Q UEEIV-S QUARE. LETTING OFF FIREWOIIKS.—Henry Cox and Ed ward dllag.,g, two mechanics, were placed at the bar, charged with letting off fire-wl)rks in the public streets. The charge was made under the 15th section of the 54th clause of the New Police Act. James Webster Jones, police-constable 50 B, stated that he was on duty in Grosvcnor•place, between the hours of eight and nine on the previous night, when he observed the two defendants standing under the Palace Gardens' wall. One of them had a cracker in his hand, which the other held a lighted cigar to until it exploded. A carriage was passing at the time, and the horses were somewhat startled by the explosion. Witness did not then take defendants into custody or caution them, thinking that as they must have seen him watching their actions they would not attempt to repeat the offence. The defendants had not proceeded many yards before they stopped again and set fire to a blue light. He then took them into custody. The defendants had a little boy with them at the time. He searched them, but found no more fire-works. Mr. BURRELL asked the defendants what answer they had to make to that charge? The defendant Cox said the two fireworks had been given to the child but a few minutes before, and the boy having importuned them to let them off they did so, thinking they committed no offence. Mr. BURRELL said that letting off fireworks in the streets was a very mischievous practice, and he should fine the defendants I Os. each, or commit them for seven days in default. The fines were paid. GR ,EENWICII PUBLIC-OFFICE. THURSDAY. SHEEP-STEALING EXTRA ORDINARY.--•-..Mr. Jacob Waterhouse, hitherto looked upon as a respectable butcher, residing in the Trafalgar-road, Greenwich, was placed at the bar, charged with having stolen two ewe sheep, the property of Mr. Edward Garner Coulderey, also a respectable butcher, in the same street. In con sequence of the party accused being very respectably connected, the most intense anxiety prevailed, and the office was crowded to suffocation. After the examination of a number of witnesses, whose evidence differed on some points, Mr. Suter, Solicitor, who attended for the prisoners, after the evidence had been read over, observed there was no doubt from the evidence which had been ad ducer], their Worships would deem it necessary that the inquiry should be carried further, but as there was great discrepancy in it in many parts, he hoped the prisoner would be allowed bail, which, from the respectability of his connections, he could procure to any amount. The Magistrates cons en t e d, an d M r . Mil l i ngton said they would commit the prisoner for trial at the next Central Criminal Court, and would accept bail, the prisoner in his own recognizances of 2001., and four sureties of 50/. each, or three in 100/. each, 48 hours' notice of bail. This investigation has created great excitement in the trade, as many respectable butchers in the neigh bourhood have recently lost sheep in a most unac countable way. HARVESTING IN BAD ‘VEATIIER.—III South Lancashire we have seen adopted with success a mode of saving tarn in unsettled weather, that we recommend to our farming readers. It is this :—After the corn has been cut fir about a week, and got well weathered, to take the shocks carefully together, and to make the sheaves into a small shock, containing about a quarter of an acre of corn each; with the heads all enclosed, and the bottoms of the sheaves outside, running the little shock up to a point at the top, and covering the top with the raking of the corn cold, so as to protect it against rain. This practice has prevailed in the northern parts of Scotland for some years, and is found extremely useful in wet seasons. A stack or hut of this kind, as it is called in Scotland, may stand for a month, even in bad weather, without injury to the corn, and will be ready to carry to the stack-yard as soon as th e weather becomes favourable. Care should be taken to prevent the shedding of the grain. There is another precaution which may be adopted with advan. take in years like the present, when corn is. often put damp into the stack. It is to construct the corn stack with a free passage for air at the bottom of the stack, with a funnel from bottom to top, thereby to allow the moisture to evaporate after the corn is put together. The funnel is easily made by placing a narrow sack, filled with chaff, or any light substance, in the centre of the stack, and building the sheaves round it (the bottom part of the sheaf being towards the funnel, and the corn inside the stack), till they come nearly to the top of the sack, and then pulling up the sack, and continuing to elevate it from time to time, till the stack is complete, arid the sack withdrawn—thus leaving a chimney all the way up for evaporation. We know farmers who have adopted this measure for years in all seasons, and who declare that they never had a sheaf of grain injured in the stack. In gene ral this precaution is perhaps unnecessary, but in wet har vest seasons it may be adopted with great advantage, In thatching the stack, care must be taken to leave a small opening at the top for the warm air and moisture to escape. —Leeds Mercury. WORCESTER MUSIC MEETING.—The receipts for admission amounted to 2,820/, 18s. The receipts in 1836 were 2,684/. 13a. Consequently there is an increase on the resent year of 1361. ss. The ag gr egate o f t h e three drys' contributions to the charity was 900/. Bs. 2d. ; donations since received, 15/. ; making a total of 9151. Bs. 2d , and thus exceeding the amount contributed at the Festival in 1836 by 92/. Is. Bd. We regret most sincerely to learn that the receipts have fallen short of the expen diture by about 8001., of which deficiency one half will have to be maie good by the Stewards personally, and the remainder will be forthcoming from the guarantee fund. Notwithstanding this pecuniary loss, we rejoice to say that an abundance of public spirit has been shown on the sub ject among influential parties connected with the city and county, and it has been determined that, so far as Wor cester is concerned, these meetings shall continue.— W a r. cester Herald. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 25.—The owners of the Gil Blas, which the Ostend pilots lately found at sea abandoned by the crew, have made an agreement with the latter for a sum of 25,000 francs, which was immediately paid to them. The Government desisted from all its claims to salvage on the Gil Bias. The Gil Blas left Ostend on the 18th in the same condition as when it was brought in. London, Sept. 27, 1839. The Gazette of this evening will quote the Per cwt. average price of British Plantation Mus covado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at . . 40s. 21(1. The actual quantity of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the 24th instant, accord ing to the returns made upon oath by the West India Sugar Brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parlia ment, and on which quantity the above price is com puted, consisted of 889 hhds., 74 trs., and 145 brls. ; and not of 1,200 hhds., as estimated in the market. bo T ehndo hleded actualnwc a r c re u g sium sales,og s ua t r a ep, n sra c on e vd o e fsa havingrteleii t e f cloi d are u e rs eh e ur r asa i elystsii,pone speculators cak S nus u lt apgi anticipation as f et r xai o ocr n nee l e osd t i h fec k e da of falling market re-selling their bargains ;or that the importers have for mercantile convenience been removing some of their sugars under bond to the out-ports. A removal of this character is si milar in effect to taking the hogsheads from one bonded warehouse, and placing them in another, and al though the number of hogsheads removed in this manner would appear on the lists of the docks of this port amongst those really sold and delivered to buyers, yet the sugar shipped in bond by the importers either to Liverpool, Bristol, or Glasgow, still remains in their hands. Both these causes may have combined to swell the account of deliveries beyond the sales made on behalf of the importers ; the first has probably con tributed most to bring about this effect, for it is noto rious that sugars held on speculation, the sale of which was recorded at the time of purchase, have recently been re-satd at a shilling per cwt. below the Market quo tatinns. The immense arrivals of sugar practically disprove the malicious calumnies with which the negroes have for the last twelve months been aspersed by their employers. It will be in the recollection of our readers that each packet which has arrived within that period from the West Indies has teemed with accounts accusing the la bourers of a reckless determination not to cultivate the cane for a fair remuneration, of a stubborn indo lence, which would bring down ruin on the planters, by occasioning an alarming scarcity of Colonial pro duce. The friends of Emancipation will, therefore, be delighted to learn the decisive answer, in the large quantity of sugar made and shipped, given by the blacks to the unfounded libels which have been un sparingly heaped upon them. Last week upwards of 4,000 hhds. were landed -- there are now 6,000 hhds. in the docks to be landei, and the post each morning brings intelligence of further arrivals of sugar ships in the Channel. Foreign sugars, raised by free labour, may be quoted at about 17s. per cwt., quality for quality, cheaper than VlTcst India sugar. The falling off in the delivery at this port of West India sugar for consumption, since the Ist May last to the present date, as compared against the like period in 1838, is 17,500 hhds. and trs. The market is extremely dull, and the few hbds. sold have been at easier prices. And yet we do not undervalue the importance of a Repeal of the Corn-laws. They are pernicious in prin ciple and in effect ; admirably adapted for the main tenance, political and social, of the aristocracy ; but highly injurious, not alone to the manufacturing interest, but to the whole of the middle classes. It is in no spirit of revenge, or even of resentment, that we have com mented upon the enormous impudence of these latter persons in calling upon the people to come forward, and, if need be, to shed their own and to spill others' blood for an object in which they have no apparent--at all events, no demonstrable interest. Talk as they will of their moral shows and exhibitions, they are bent upon wresting the Repeal of the Corn•laws from the aristocracy, if it be possible to do so ; and they would have the people to do the physical part of the business for them. For, let us inquire of these gentlemen, who have hardly yet done exulting over the prison fare and barbarous regulations to which the Chartist victims have been sentenced, whether they think that anything short of bloodshed and rebellion would bring about the destruction of the Corn-law mo nopoly, whilst the present Parliament, or any future Parliament elected under the present suffrage, exists ? And, also, whether they think they are entitled to any such "demonstrations" on the part of the people ; and, likewise, whether they believe the people will be pre vailed upon to make them ? To the working classes, we say, " Stand aloof ; move not a finger on behalf of the middle class ; you can be I of no service whatever to them. Moral force you have 1 none ; physical f o - ce you are not prepared to furnish for any such object. A great cause alone—nothing less than the redemption or the regeneration of a State jus tifies revolution. Wait awhile ; you do not suffer alone. 1 A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind. They will offer terms by and by." ART AS A MEANS OF SUPPORT. The master limner (at Abbotsford) had a devoted attachment to his (Sir W. Scott's) person ; and this was not wonderful. for he in fact owed a prosperous fortune to Scott's kind and sagacious counsel, tendered at the very outset of his career. A printer's apprentice attracted notice by his at tempts with the pencil, and Sir Walter was called upon, after often admiring his skill in representing horses, dogs, and the like, to assist his with his ad vice, as ambition had been stirred, and the youth would fain give himself to the regular training of an artist. Scott took him into his room, and conversed with him at some length. He explained the difficul ties and perils, the almost certain distresses, the few and narrow chances of the admiring and aspiring walk. He described the hundreds of ardent spirits that pine out their lives in solitary garrets, lamenting over the rash eagerness with which they had obeyed the suggestions of young ambition, and chosen a career in which success of any sort is rare, and no success but the highest is worth attaining. " You have talents and energy," said he. " but who can say whether you have genius. These boyish drawings can never be relied on as proofs of that. If you feel within you such a glow of ambition that you would rather run a hundred chances of obscurity and penury than miss one of being a Wilkie, make up your mind and take the bold plunge ; but if your object is merely to raise yourself to a station of worldly comfort and independence —if you would fain look forward with tolerable assurance to the prospect of being a respectable citizen, with your own snug reprover your head, and the happy faces of a wife and children about you, pause and reflect well. It appears to me that there is little demand for the fine works of the pencil in this country. Not a few artists who have even ob tained high and merited reputation find employment scarce, and starve under their laurels. I think pro fit in Britain is, with very rare exceptions, annexed to departments of obvious and direct utility in which the mass of the people are concerned ; and it bee often struck me that some clever fellow might make a good hit if, in place of enrolling himself among the future Raphaels and Vandykes of the Royal Academy, he should resolutely set himself to introducing something of a more elegant style of house-painting. The young man thus addressed, Mr. D. R H ay, was modest and wise enough to accept the advice with thankfulness, and to act upon it with p ati ence and steadiness. After a few years he had qualified hi mself to take charge of all the delicate limning and blazoning at Abbotsford.

Can they look the people in the face—battered, as it has been, by policemen's bludgeons—and tell them that they do not wish a phy sical demonstration for the repeal of the Corn-laws They cannot—or if they can, they are liars as well as rogues ; for they know full well that nothing less, nay, that something more—much more of physical force than was marshalled and ready to act for the attainment of the Reform Bill—will be required for the repeal of the Corn-laws. The whole aristocracy of England, Whig and Tory, must be intimidated—coerced, before that consummation can be brought about. Talk of mo ral force ! Pshaw ! The National Petition, signed by a million and a quarter of the male adult popu lation of this kingdom, kicked out of the House of Commons amid the insolent derision and the trium phant hootings of the middle classes ; therein— in that degrading spectacle —was seen the moral force of the people. The middle classes, then, want so much physical force for a certain object—that is to say, for Corn-law repeal. Let us first see whether they have any modest right or title to expect it ; and next, whether it will be worth the people's while, for any advantage they may gain by it, to run the risk of being imprisoned for sedition, transported for felony, or hanged for rebellion. We are not vindictive against the middle classes ; but, we ask, do they deserve any,;aid, for any object, from the people ? Let their conduct during the Chartist agitation supply the " Yes" or " No." With what vehemence of hostility did they array themselves against that movement ? IVith what eager malignity did they call upon Government to put it down ; how delightedly did they chuckle when the Chartistleaders where seized upon by brute power, hardly deigning to wear even the mask of law ; and with what grim satisfaction did they return instantaneous verdicts against them. "Oh ! but they were so violent ! they counselled physical force (which we want them to reserve for Corn Law repeal)." Violent ! What violence:of lan guage was employed by the Chartist leaders half so strong, or of half so physical a tendency, as was used by the middle classes themselves during the Reform agitation ? And for actual physical violence, deprecated constantly by the Chartists before it took place at Bir mingham, and by the Reformers after it had been per petrated at Bristol—who will place the Chartist move ment and the Reform agitation in comparison ? And what have the middle classes gained by their hostility to the people ? What have they done ? They have placed an increased military and a vast constabulary force at the disposal of Government—for what ?To put down all present and future Chartist excitement ? Not that alone ; but to put down Corn-law repeal agitation also. Yes ; these men, who arc constantly boasting of their own exclusive fitness for the franciaise, and contending that the people are too ignorant to be entrusted with it—wanting to extort a measure of jus tice from the Ministry, have placed weapons in their hands to enable them to resist it ; and, requiring as sistance from the people, have contrived to alienate and disgust them.
