A Special and Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders was heldat the Banking-house of the Company, 3, Moorgate-street, Loth bury, on Monday, the 22d July, 1844. George Bulpett, Esq., Deputy Chairman, declared the Meeting duly constituted by the presence of the number of Proprietors required by the Deed of Settlement. The advertisement calling the Meeting having been read, the mi nutes of the proceedings of the Special Meeting of the 3d of June last, and the resolutions then passed for reducing the denomination of the Shares front 1,000/. to 1001. each, were severally read and unani mously confirmed. The Annual General Meeting was then held, and the following Re port front the Directors was read by the Manager : .FOURTII REPORT of the DIRECTORS of the COMMERCIAL BANK of LONDON. The Directors, in conformity with the Deed of Settlement, submit to the Shareholders their Fourth Annual Statement, on reference to which it will he seen that the position and prospects of the Bank con tinue to improve. After paying all the current expenses, and making provision for . bad and doubtful debts, the net profits of the Bank for the past year . • amount to 6,3031. is. 1 Id. The Directors have therefore decided upon declaring a Dividend of Five per Cent. (free of Income-tax), leaving a balance of 2,3031. 7s. I ld., part of which will be required for rebate of interest on current bills, and the remainder is proposed to be placed to the credit of the Guarantee Fund. The Banking-house in Moorgate- street having been found Inconve niently small and quite inadequate for the transaction of the busi ness of the Company, now in the course of daily extension, the Di rectors have taken new premises in Lothbury, to which they intend shortly to remove. The Directors are confident that the change in the amount of the shares from 1,0001. each to 100/. each, will be the means of greatly • extending the connexions of the bank, and thus prove highly con . ducive to the interests of theliroprietors, whilst the removal of many of the restrictions which have hitherto impeded the operations of joint-stock banks In London, and the power conceded under the New Bank Charter of accepting bills at a less date than six months, will enable the Directors to undertake much valuable business from which they have hitherto been excluded. In accordance with the provisions of the Deed of Settlement, the • following Directors, viz., Edward Stillingfleet Cayley, Esq., M.P., Charles Weld, Esq., Thomas Barnewa 1, Esq., donathan.Hopkinson, Esq.,.retire from office, and, being eligible, they offer themselves for re-election. • • The dividend will be paid on and after the 10th of August next, and at the same time certificates of the new shares will be exchanged for the old ones.

E WELLINGTON STAT Amid the proud City, where multitudes pass, Stands Wellington's monument, sculptured in brass. We hail its appearance, a d gladly we wan The statue of such a remarkable man. For while on the work of the sculptor we gaze, The mind is conducted to chivalrous days, Great men should be honour'd. Their acts should be told To far-distant ages by monuments bold.

IE,DWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully to re,quest that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being tet one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none of theseimi ta tion candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and their affordiag so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinal,' moulds. They may be had of Td Ward Price and Co., Bel most of the respectable tallow-ehenalers throughout the kingdom, and are supplied to the trade Whqiesate by mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co, SW99-street, Co., B L AI GOUT and RHE UMATIC PILLS. The decided superiority of this Medicine over every other hitherto offered to the public for the cure of those dreadfully painful diseases gout, rheumatic gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, &c is so fullh manifested by the increasing sale, and the testimon y of thousan in every rank of life, that those 3yho are aware of the ex istence of such a remedy, and have not availed themselves of trying its efficacy, cannot truly be objects of sympathy. 'The testimonials of the astonishing effects of this medicine are universally acCoinpanier; by the fact that no inconvenience rif any sort attends its th administra tion, but that the patient , withou t feeling the operation of e medi cine if universally le ft in a stronger an d better state of health than Otperieneed previous to being afflicted with this disease • find in 41 with 'acut.• suffining great relief is experienced in 'few hours, and 3 well, seawall) , effbcted in two or three days.

He last saw her alive on S un d ay . f sufferers.r e d l h u a n t d herua ye age t statedo sv that e ten, t l e atnh l d as e thdeenrcitecma Christian He knew nothing of his own knowledge as to the cause or manner of her death. He lived in Printing-house lane, and kept the Lamb and Lark public-house. David Thomas was a labouring man, and lis'ed at the Glazier? Arms. He was down on the lower part of the pier at the time the accident occurred. He was there proceeding to clear away the large masses of people who had congregated on the stairs. A steamer was coming up. On the " dumb lighter" there were about fifty persons, who had been repeatedly asked to go away, but would not. There was a rowing match on the river, and all were anxious to witness it. Some of the child ren there ran up from the " dumb lighter" on to the steps, and then the " bridge" went down. He did nut see the deceased child Munday. He did see a lady and gentleman in the water, and rescued them. The gentle man was a foreigner. About twenty or more went into the water in addition to those who were lost. The people were not on the pier by consent of the proprietors, and the proprietors took no money for allowing them to be present. The bridge was merely for the convenience of the steam-boat passengers, and he considered that it was quite strong enough to admit of persons walking across with Verfeet safety. The reason of its breaking down was that too many persons were on it. The people fell at once into the water. The wood of the bridge was, strong and of a good quality. It appeared to him a pure accident arising from the number of persons on the Newbon said he was there on behalf of the Wa terman's Company, the owners of the pier, and the Co roner said he could not recogn i se any professional man, as there was no one in custody. But any suggestion be might make should be attended to. The last witness was examined at considerable length by the jury, and stated in addition, that the police had not been called upon to remove the assemblage from the pier, and that no extra policemen were put on in conse quence of the regatta. There was a great deal of ex citement arising from the wish of persons to see the rowing, but at the time of the occurrence not a boat was passing. - The - CORONER remarked that the two important points for the jury were whether the " bridge " had on that occasion been diverted from its original use ; and whether money had been taken. If these could not be substantiated the imputation of blame could not rest on the proprietors of the pier. Michael Walsh, carpet warehouseman, 63, Hatton garden.—At the time of the accident he was on the landing at the steps of Blackfriars -bridge, where the drags were kept. He was standing there from five till nearly eight. Saw the boats getting ready, and observed a great many persons on the wooden bridge and pier, which was somewhat slanting. The people were standing, and he heard the wood work snap all at once. It went into two pieces. One part nearest the stone-work hung by the ropes and chains—the other went out into the water. He rushed down, and while holding by the ropes and chains at tempted to rescue several persons who were struggling in the water. He did not observe the deceased Aurelia. Munday, but he saw two other girls. He could not say that any money was taken to allow the people to stand on the pier. The watermen and a policeman tried to keep back the children, but they were too numerous to keep away. By a Juror—Had no previous opportunity of testing the strength of the bridge, but from what he saw of it. on the day of the accident, was inclined to think it quite strong enough to permit of many persons passing safely to the steamers. He should not, howe ver , say it was capable of holding 20 or 30 persons at one tinie,. Th e accident, in his opinion, arose from the number of per sons there. Thomas Ware—Was one of the pier proprietors. The wooden bridge belonged also to them. Had been in their possession two years and three-quarters. When it came into their possession it was quite new, and had been made by Mr. Cox, a barge builder. They took no money from the persons on the bridge. He himself was, there when the accident happened. He heard a crass i; then he ran forward, and saw the people in the wiet er . The bridge he was sure was quite strong enough for the purpose to which it had been put, namely, the embark ing and disembarking of passengers. He knew nothing of the deceased, and did not recollect having seen ner. He tried five minutes before the accident to remov e the people, but it was quite impossible. He considered that there was danger, and told them so, but it was r i g no use. He did not observe that the police tried t„,O get the people away. The tide was about an hour after high water. There were, he thought, forty in the water, two of whim he rescued, but he could not say how many were got out. By a Juror—The bridge was six feet wide, and thirty feet long, and hand-rails on either side. It was also strengthened by iron clasps, or cross pieces. Should think from the terrific crash that all the planks broke together. They were of deal. and an inch and a half thick. The cost of the bridge was 201.. There was a greater number assembled at that than at any previous rowing -match. William Thorrington was a lighterman. He fished up the deceased child about half-past, seven that morning-, close to the Hetherington wharf, near the Blackfriars- Bridge, on the London side. The head was much bruised. The CORONER remarked that reports had been cur rently abroad, as to blame attached to parties in this case, and he had therefore been anxious to commence the inquiry. In the case of the deceased, there had been adduced no evidence as to the drowning ; for, from the bruises upon the head, she might have been dead before she got into the water. Under all the circumstances, he thought it advisable to postpone further examination, that more evidence might be laid before them. When, there had been such an enormous sacrifice of human life, he felt satisfied the jury would not hesitate to adjourn in order to get all the evidence possible. In, the case of the Breadcotts, the father was in such a distressed con dition from grief, that it would be impossiirle for them to examine him that night. After some discussion, it was agreed that an adjourn ment should take place until seven o'clock. At seven o'clock the inquest was resumed at the School-room in Church-entry, for, owing to the great number of persons who had waited to hear the proceed ings, the former room in the Glazier's Arms was found much too limited. Francis Underwood, 11 years of age, was first called. He knew Aurelia Munday. Was with her on Mr auday evening, talking to her on the platform at Black friars-bridge. Went there to see the rowin g-match. clhe was standing on the middle of the wooe i e n bridge, extending from the stairs to the barge, whe n it broke. There were many people on it. He had left the de ceased half an hour before it broke dow n, Asked her to go over to Bankside, but she preferred remaining where she was. There was no release that he observed with her. No money was paid fo - r going on the bridge. The piermen turned the people. off several times, but they went on again immediately. Francis Hutcheson, surgeon, ef:Farringdon-street, had examined the body of Aurelia Munday about nine that morning. Found her much bruised about the face, and with a profusion of blood under the skin, which he thought resulted from some injury sustained before life was extinct, but it mixlat have be en d one w h en t h e b o d y was under water. The body had been in the water twelve hours, and he was of opinion that death resulted, from drowning. By a juror —The probability was that the child sue tained the bruises when falling against the barge. Wm. Cox, one of the jurymen, at his own deli se, was then sworn. H e appeared desirous of addres,4ing, he the jury in a se t speech, but on the Coroner's obj(Jeting sat down without given evidence. George Hodges—Had occasion to make alterations in the bridge two years ago. At that ti me it was in good condition, having been made of the best D antzic timber. (A portion of the wood was produced ins Court, which was stated to be very sound.) George Maunders, a police sergee-nts said that there were four policemen on duty there, and one immediately on the spot of the accident. The, drags were at w or k immediately. There was no regilest made by the bridge proprietors to drive the peopl e (it?, and if there had been, it would have required a hued Policemen to do so. George Casson—Was e n the platform at the time of the accident; and, consequently, further on the water than the persons standing on the bridge. At the time the bridge broke, he should say, there might be fifty er sixty persons on it y and he saw twenty or twenty-Eve struggling in the 'water. Heard the pierraen warn the people off. Some went and the greater part paid no at tention. He thought the bridge not safe for morf..t than three persons. James Lynes, butcher, Newgate-street--Wae, at the place during the period of the accident Saw sixty or seventy persons on the bridge, twenty or thirty of whom were immersed in the water. No money was paid for admission on to the bridge., Henry Reynolds gave , ".;imilar evidence. The Coroner summei up. -He, bad thought it of the first ltnportance, in r:onsequenee of the , rumours which were rit'e as to the cause of the accident, to call togith'er a in- LT at the e ar li est poss i ble moment, that the real Circumstances of the case, accredited by witnesses upc,u, oath, might, through the medium of the public press, go forth to the world. It had appeared that a nuraber of persons were collected upon the wooden bridge lead ing to the pier, in order to witness a boat-race ; end it also appeared that attempts had been made by t.ie pro prietors to clear it of the mass who were upon it ; and,. it was further proved that they had neither demanded nor taken money from such persons; and that. therefore,' there was no gross neglect or wilful wrong to be im puted to them. Under these circumstances he thought, there would be no difficulty in the jury coming to ass undivided opinion upon the subject. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict = of " Accidental death," and accompanied the same with a recommendation to the Civic authorities to use mea sures in future for the prevention of persons getting upon the barges in such cases as rowing -matches, and, particularly in preventing children getting into places so. liehle to danger. The other cases were adjourned, in consequence of the 1 latolicas of the hour. No. 16,205. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING SUN, JULY 24, 1844. PRICE sd.

Sonntamrrox, TUESDAY EVENING.—The proceedings of the Society at this place commenced this morning with the exhibition of implements, the number of which was greater than on any former occasion. The present exhibition is not, however, so much distinguished for novelty, in this respect, as for the decided improvements which have been made on former inventions. This being the case, it might perhaps be invidious to particularise ; and we shall, therefore, content ourselves with subjoining a list of the prizes, and proceed at once to describe the trial of the implements, which was de cidedly the most interesting feature in the day's proceedings. We should, however, premise that, although not yet so full as had been expected, there have been many distinguished arrivals at Southampton. The Duke of Cambridge will ar rive to-morrow, and be received by the Mayor and Corpora tion with all the honours due to a Prink.e of the Blood Royal. The Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Beaufort, the Marquis Conyngham, Earl Ducie, Earl Spencer, Lord and Lady Palmerston, and a number of other fashionables arrived this morning, but the great influx of company is expected to-morrow, when I will send you a more specific account of the arrivals. EXIIIIHTION OF THE WORKING OF THE IMPLEMENTS. This was the most interesting portion of the day's pro ceeding, and attracted universal attention. The time fixed for the public trial of the agricultural implements to take place was twelve o'clock. For some hours previous to that time the road leading from Southampton to the trial ground was thronged with vehicles of every description, conveying the interested and curious to the appointed place, distant about four miles from Southampton, on the farm of Mr. C. Cater, at Swathling. 'Many thousand persons were on the ground, consisting of the agriculturists of Hampshire and the adjoining counties, as well as of numbers from the extreme western counties. The Queen, Brunswick, and two other steamers arrived in the morning from Plymouth and Corn wall, full of passengers. All the steamers from the Isle of Wight were also full, notwithstanding many persons were prevented from coming in consequence of the races. Among the parties on the ground we noticed most of the noblemen and gentlemen whose names we have already given, and the landed proprietors of the county. The test trials to deter mine the merits of the several implements took place yester day and Saturday, but were strictly private, the public not being allowed to approach nearer than the outside of the fields in which the implements were tried. These trials were conducted with great care and fairness, and even the exhibi tions of the various implements were confined to the attend ance upon their own implements, and were not allowed to inspect the working of the others. The judges were Messrs. Outhwaite, of Cathrick, York shire, and another gentleman, who conducted the proceedings most impartially, and in a manner which gave general satis faction. The implements selected for the public exhibition of their working, were those previously selected for compe tition before the judges in the private trials, which had occu pied the two previous days—those adapted for light land, at Mr. Cater's farm, at Swathling; and those adapted for heavy land, at Mr. Spooner's, at Eling. The field selected for the public trial to-day is a level one of considerable extent, ad joining the railway, and is a clover ley. The ground was not in good order for working, in consequence of its being un usually hard from the long drought.: Precisely,at twelve o'clock the ploughing match commenced. There were six teen ploughs started, among which were two specimens of American ploughs, presented by Professor Col. The con trast between the working of these transatlantic ploughs and the English ones was most striking, and was the most per fect practical refutation of the self -congratulating remarks of Daniel Webster, who, on his return from England, stated that he had not seen any implements in England worthy of comparison with those of America. We particularly ex amined the work of these ploughs, and, compared with the level and accurate furrows made by the English plough, which appeared as though cut out by a plane, were coarse, rough, and irregular. The work of the competing plough, with the two excep tions we have alluded to, was generally good, especially so, considering the state of the soil. One of the ploughs was a new implement made by Messrs. J. R. and A. Ransome, of Ipswich, and was in consequence of having a moveable nose piece, which adjusted the pitch of the share either to take more or less hold of the ground or literally to give it an in clination more or less towards the land. This plough won the prize of 10/. and a silver medal, in competing with the others as a heavy land plough ; and also won the prize of 10/. and a silver medal, in its competition on the light land. Another of the ploughs was also a new instrument, by the same exhibitors, the peculiar feature of which is, that the mould board of this plough is adapted for turning furrows four and a half inches deep, and nine inches wide, so as to leave the angle of the furrow-slice precisely at forty five degrees. There was another and a strong plough, by the same exhibitors, fitted for deep ploughing in tenacious land. Mr. Lowcock's patent plough for laying furrows all in one direction, and which was awarded a prize of 5/., was another of the competitors. . . . . _ LETTERS OF CREDIT ON IND tA.

An iron sowing plough, by the Earl of Dueie, which ob. tamed 5/. at the Royal Agricultural Society's meeting at Bristol. A two-wheel wrought-iron plough, with patent coulter, by Messrs. Saunders, Williams, and Taylor, of Bedford, which is fitted for wheel or swing pl oug h, an d is worked by two or four horses. A one-wheel plough, by Mr. Hugh Carson, of Warminster, suited for light lands. A patent iron plough for sand and other light land. It is made principally of wrought iron. An iron plough, trussed beam, and steel breast, invented by Ransome, and manufactured by Messrs. Sims and Brown, of Tollard Royal, Dorsetshire. A one- wheel plough, invented by the exhibitors, Messrs. Barratt, Exhall, and Andrews, of 'Reading, which is filled with an open turn furrow for ploughing loamy and other ad hesive soils, as it breaks the lower part of the furrow, and thus admits the air. This plough is extremely light, and has ver y great ease of draught. Immediately after the termination of the ploughing match, the other implements, consisting of drills, harrows, clod crushers, and num erous other articles, were tried i n an ad joining field, all of whi c h seeme d to exc it e genera l a tt e ntion. Throughout the day the trains continued to bring in a great number of cattle for the show on Thursday, as the exhibition of stock will be the next great point of attraction. The Council dinner will take place to-morrow. ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORI CULTURAL SOCIETY. Yesterday the Royal South London Floricultural Society held Zoological Gardens, on w hi c h occas i on th e di s pl a y o f f ru i t , secon d grand miscellaneous show at the Surrey vegetables was on a scale of unusual magnitude C e ar e i ll n e ci nce. Ther e were numerous tents an d extens i ve m n a d r es xh e arranged in various parts of these beautiful grounds, in which th e splendid specimens offered for com petition were placed. N o fewer than seventy- f our pr i zes were flowers,aqetu offered and awarded, consisting of gold and silver medals, a silver cup, &c., in addition to various sums of money. These prizes were awarded early in the day, before the public were admitted ; and the following are the names of the successful candidates :—The first class consisted of amateurs, members only ; and those who malted off prizes for the piccotees, c arnations, heartsease, were Messrs. Edmonds (gold medal), Procter, jun . , G B4 . n feach, R. Headly, Trevers, jun., Hall,th Rev. v. A. H. Matthews. The prizes to the Edwards, Schroder, F. B. Garty, and Vsas;l(dgentlemen's gardeners, entering in their own for flowers, fruit, and vegetables, were given to medal), Hemp, Hatterton, A. Parsons, J. Bruce, C. Embleton, Welsh, and Parsons. The third class consisted of specimens sent in by nurserymen, market gardeners, and florists, The gold medal was awarded to Mr. Jackson, and the various silver ones to Messrs.

Bruce. Mr. Turner was the successful competitor for the Linnman medal, f or th e b est collection of cut indigenous plants in flower. The above enumeration will give an idea of the extent of th e pr i zes b estowed under the auspices of this Society ; and many of the persons men tioned gained more than one medal, some several. The flower-show was allowed on every hand to equa l a ll , an d t o surpass many former exhibitions, and the fruit was likewise remarkably fine. The vegetables, too, d eserve h ig h pra i se. There were some magnificent specimens, especially of cucum bers, some of which were of enormou s s i ze. The Duke of was extremely numerous any y evening the extensive throned. The attraction was truly Cambridge, and th e Prince of Mecklenb urg h S trelitz visited the Gardens earlyin the morning, and we re highly gratified • rful for , in addition to th e sp l en did exhibi tion of the day, and the usual promenade concerts, the e colossal representation of London sufficiently gt w hr i rot throughout gd h hs e ow e u x et h rpe i to b i i le t e i o day,n . completely, f a l tdh c or towardsomnpg in the olden time, and the great fire thereof, there was displayed (for th e fi rs t t i me ) th e beautiful and highly interesting model of Venice, which is so well known, and has become so celebrated for its perfect and elaborate workmanship, .which shows every palace, church, and even house, in that city of the waters . This great addi tional attraction to the Gardens will continue to be exhibited throughout the season. The amusements were not co nc l u d e d until a late hour of the evening. [ADVERTISEMENT.] ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.— Mr. Stevens, a gentleman holding a highly responsible situation in an insurance-office in the City, from over attention to business became so bilious, debilitated, and nervous, with palpitation of heart , and with a dread on the mind of some approaching calamity, as to be ren dered for some weeks quite incapable of attending to his duties. In this truly pitiable state he commenced the use of this miraculous medicine, which in a fortnight restored him to the highest enjoyment of health, and this when physicians failed to afford the least relief.

INCREASE OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC. The following is the increase on the traffic returns for the half-year ending June 30, 1844, as compared with those for the same period last year : Birmingham and Derby ...... ........ £5,269 Birmingham and Gloucester 1,094 Chester and Birkenhead ... 1,294 Edinburgh and Glasgow.. Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr 7,737 Grand Junction Great North of England. Great Western 43,154 Liverpool and Manchester . ... 9,709 London and Birmingham.. London and Brighton. London and South-Western 8,513 Manchester and Birmingham 10,349 Manchester, Bolton, and Bury 3,490 Manchester and Leeds 18,347 Midland Counties . North Midland 11,591 North Union Sheffield and Manchester - 3,697 • Ulster .... 3,257 York and North Midland 2,287 Total increase for the half-year, on the above 21 railways, 196,3221. The large increase in the Great Western traffic is partially accounted for by the opening of twenty-two additional miles of the line within the last six months; but even taking this fact into consideration, the addition to the previous income of the company is still very considerable. The most remark able advance, having reference of course to the length of the line, only fifty miles, is presented, however, by the Man chester and Leeds Railway; and the two weeks which have elapsed since the above return was made up go to prove that the income of the company is still rapidly tending upwards. The receipts for the week ending July 6 were 7,493/., against 6,2221. in the same week of last year, and those for July 13 were 7,9011. against 6,2751. in the corresponding week 0f1843, a ratio of improvement which leaves every other railway far in the rear. We allude to these circumstances because the position of the Manchester and Leeds line, and the system on which it has been managed, are peculiar. Third-class carriages, at extremely low fares, have been employed upon it to a greater extent than on any other railway in the king. dom ; and it is gratifying to find that the great share of public accommodation thus afforded has resulted in a large measure of prosperity to the company. THE LONDON WEATHER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Since my last, many changes have occurred in the weather, as the provincial and the foreign papers will attest, but still there is an extraordinary influence prevailing, as the thermometer presents. There have been the same circuitous currents, arising from the south-west or north-east, crossing each other at different altitudes, and subsiding with storms; but this has continued so long, that we are led to think of soma unusual planetary influence is prevailing against the ordinary course. This day the thermometer stood in the sun, south aspect, 109 deg. When placed, at 4 o'clock, upon wood, in opposi tion to its rays, the spirit reached 121 deg., whilst the other, which was longitudinal, was only 102 deg. The shade ther mometer indicated, in the sheltered position, 84 deg. 5 min. ; and the most extraordinary indication was the heat of last night, which was not less than 63 deg., being 8 deg. above temperate heat, being a very unusual heat in the night,even in eastern nations. 111 Seven o'Clock.—There are now signs of wind, from the at tenuated state of the atmosphere, and there will be, probably, a storm of thunder, from the currents of electric fluid which has been generated. I remain, Sir, your subscriber, Bermondsey-square, July 23. H. P. AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS, &c (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Since I wrote yesterday I have seen a farmer, who paid, before the commutation of tithes took place, 28/., and who has paid since for the same land 42/. ; that is, you see, 50 per cent. Here are two more clauses from the agreements referred to, having relation to game. Ask yourself how a mall, who is subject to the clauses already sent you, accompanied by these and others like them, can afford to do anything with his labourers but grind them. Once a man consents, and has signed an agreement like this, he is degraded in his own eyes; and I know several who have signed them, but are unwilling to own it. But all these things brings the one fact into operation— making single men work for less than the married ones, and unquenchable heart-burnings as the result : " That the said , his executors, administrators, or assigns, shall not without the permission in writing of the said —, his heirs, or assigns, shoot, course, net, fish, or otherwise sport or destroy game, fish, or wild fowl, on the said premises; nor give leave to any other person or persons so to do ; but shall from time to time, and at all times, at the request of the said , his heirs, or assigns, sign notices discharging persons from doing so, or from otherwise tres passing on the said premises; and shall permit his name to be made use of in any action or actions which shall be brought by the direction of the said —, his heirs, or assigns, against any person or person s f or t res p ass i ng on t h e said premises, being indemnified by the said —, his heirs, or assigns, from and against all expenses thereto re lating; and shall and will, in all other respects, use his best endeavours to preserve the game, fish, and wild fowl on the said estate." Is not this tolerably stringent when coupled with the clauses I sent you yesterday? Here is provision made that the farmer shall give keep to any quantity of game the land lord likes to breed, having his keepers always watching the farms. And now look at the hypocrisy of the following : " Whereas the poor have been of late deprived of the ad vantages of gleaning by the custom of mowing instead of reaping the wheat crops, it is hereby agreed that the said , his executors, or administrators, shall not in future mow any wheat crop without permission in writing from the said —, or his agent, under forfeiture of the present agreement." — You will understand that mowing (the word has not the same meaning here as in Scotland), by leaving less stubble than reaping, leaves less cover for the game, and hence the farmers adopt it. As a matter of fact, all the farmers agree that it does not make the pretended difference in gleaning. Norwich, July 23. THE RUSSIAN FRIGATE AURORA, WITH PRESENTS FOR THE QUEEN, AND GOLD. On Monday (as we stated yesterday) the above fine vessel, commanded by a Vice-Admiral, came to anchor off the Cus• tom-house, Gravesend. _ Yesterdtiy morning, at four o'clock, several boats, con taining eighty boxes, bound with red tape, and impressed with the Custom-house seal, were landed at the wharf, and immediately packed in three uncovered light waggons, drawn each by four horses, famished by the landlord of the Falcon Inn, Gravesend. Shortly before five o'clock a Russian non-commissioned officer and several soldiers entered the waggons, together with a police-constable from the metropolitan force in each wag gon, the whole being under the charge of acting Inspector Taylor, of the A division. the escort started, followed by the Russian Consul-General, the Chevalier Benkhausen, and some Russian officers, and the chief officer of customs at Gravesend, in two carriages. From the weight of the boxes the waggons did not reach Blackheath until nine o'clock. They halted until half-past nine, and then went forward, escorted by some mounted police of the Greenwich, or R division, to the Bank of Eng land, which they reached at half-past ten o'clock, and en tered the north gate of that establishment. The packages were then taken from the waggons, and sealed in the presence of the principal officer of Customs. The whole of the valu able property contained in wooden boxes weighed just six tons, and were safely deposited i n th e vau l ts o f the Bank of England. It was rumoured at Gravesend that the gold was sent to this country for the purpose of being refined, and that the frigate would remain three weeks in the river, for the purpose of taking it away when so prepared.

The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its generel use in all countries, together with nu merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un principled shopkeepers, who vend the m os t spurious trash as the "genuine' Macassar Oil : whereas the genuine article is wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son. and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials rend , . / 4 abortiveany attempt to discover its cemponent parts— -thus proving the imposition of all other articles bearing ',le title of " Macassar Oil."

The Earl of Mansfield gave a fete champetre, yesterday afternoon, at his Lordship's seat at Caen Wood, Hampstead, which was honoured by the presence of their Royal High nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Glou cester, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and above seven hundred of the lead ing aristocracy. The preparations for the fete had been in progress during the whole of last week, for it was necessary that a spacious temporary structure, sufficiently large to accommodate the numerous circle invited, should be erected. The weather was most propitious, and crowds of respectably-dressed per sons congregated on the heath and at the lodge-gates, to witness the arrival of the several:members of the Royal Family and the noble visitors; a strong body of the police being sta tioned at different points of the road to preserve order, and to remedy any confusion that might arise from the number of carriages which would, of necessity, collect in the immediate vicinity of the house. At half-past three the carriages began to set down com pany, and for two hours and a half there was a constant succession of arrivals. The equipages, generally, were very attractive ; those of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Earl and Countess of Powis, Marchioness of Ailesbury, Earl and Countess of Beverley, Earl and Countess of Eldon, Countess Brownlow, Lord Foley, &c., demanding more espe cial mention. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, accom panied by the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of ➢iecklenburgh Strelitz, and attended by Baron Knese beck, was first to arrive, the royal carriage entering the ap proach to the mansion at ten minutes past five, preceded by outriders in their scarlet liveries. The Earl of Mansfield was at the entrance to receive the royal guests as they alighted from the carriage, and the Dowager Countess of Mansfield had advanced to the lobby to greet the illustrious visitors as they. arrived. Th e royal party were forthwith conducted through the suite of saloons to the library, where many of the leading company had met to offer their congratulations. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester came shortly after, bier royal brother the Duke of Cambridge bearing her Royal Highness company. Lady Caroline Murray and the }lon. Captain Liddell were in waiting on the Duchess. As those respected members of the Royal Family descended from their carriage, the Dowager Countess of Mansfield, having been timely informed of the royal approach, received them, the Duchess of Gloucester and her Ladyship exchanging an affec tionate salutation, when their Royal Highnesses were ushered to the library. The suite of drawing-rooms, with the music -room, com prising seven elegant apartments, were all opened for the re ception. The Duke of Wellington was among the visitors, the Noble and Gallant Duke arriving shortly after the Royal Family. As his Grace entered the lodge gates he was warmly cheered by the assemblage of persons mustered there from curiosity. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, Duchess of Gloucester, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, with the Earl of Mansfield and Dowager Countess of Mansfield, pre vious to dinner being announced, promenaded the terrace and went through the flower gardens, all laid out in the pure English style, and with which the royal visitors were much gratified. The company dined at seven. There were at the table her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, whe sat on the right of the Earl of Mansfield ; the Duchess of Cambridge sitting on the left of the noble host, with the Duke of Wel lington sitting on her Royal Highness's right hand ; nis-a-via sat the Dowager Countess of Mansfield, with the Duke of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenbargh Strelitz. In addition we observed the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, his Excellency Baron Nieumann, Marquis of Salisbury, his Excellency M. Dedel, Marchioness of Ailesbury, Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, Marchioness of Londonderry, Earl and Countess of Jersey, Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, Earl Dela warr, Baroness Brunow, &c. Covers were laid for upwards of thirty. We now come to the grand feature of the fête, the enor mous marquee at the eastern extremity of the terrace lawn. It was a wonderful structure, about 150 feet long by 50 feet wide, the dome in the centre rising to the height of 50 feet. The interior was lined with scarlet and white draperies, fes tooned all round, confined by rosettes of the same colours. Suspended from the roof were some 60 chandeliers, which were of course lighted up at dusk, contributing to render the interior a gorgeous spectacle. The exterior was sur mounted by several minarets, from which floated banderols. It was boarded throughout, for it must be understood that it was subsequently to be converted into a salon de dense, and three tables, extending the whole length of the marquee, were arranged for the sumptuous fare. Above 600 persons sat down to dinner at the same time, so the magnitude of the marquee may be imagined. It was shortly before eight when the dinner party in the tent retired, and the grounds were promenaded by the ma jority of the visitors. At dusk the grounds were illuminated by more than 15,000 variegated lamps. The parterres of the flower gardens were bordered with coloured lamps, and in the trees various coloured lamps were suspended resem bling artificial fruit. _ _ Ifer Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess retired about eight o'clock to go to the Italian Opera. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and Duchess of Gloucester remained to a more advanced hour. There was a superb display of fireworks at nine o'clock on the verdant lawn, at the verge - of the lake, which lasted nearly an hour. Dancing was kept up with untiring zeal until after midnight. A SINGLE MAN WITHOUT ENCUMBRANCE.—" Yes terday evening,' says the Messager, " a person mounted into a hackney cabriolet stationed on the Boulevard St. Denis and shook the driver by the arm, who appeared to be asleep; but it was soon discovered that ho was dead. The Commissary of Police having arrived to ascertain the cause of the driver's death, it appeared that it was the result of apoplexy. This man had no family, and on examining his body, the following inscription was found tattooed on his arm:—' John Joseph, a foundling, abandoned at the age of two years, on the Place de l'Ho tel de Ville in 1806.' John Joseph had no place of dwelling. He passed twenty hours of the day in his cabriolet, and when he wished to rest he lay down in his master's stable." The great composer Spohr has just terminated a visit of a fortnight to Paris. The permission of his Sove reign, the Elector of Cassel, was with great difficulty ob tained, and at last given at a time when all the concerts of Paris had ceased, but the leading professors, with M. Habeneck at their head, anxious to testify their respect for Spohr, 're united the grand orchestra of the Conservatoire, and gave the pastoral symphony of Beethoven, with the last symphony written by Spohr himself, with the perfection far which that orchestra is so highly celebrated all over Europe.
