At a meeting of the Lancaster Agricultural So ciety held on Thursday, and reported in the Lan caster Guardian, Lord STANLEY made the fol lowing observation, which we quote as a lesson to his chum, Sir JAMES GRAHAM. We so seldom meet with iything to approve of in the orations of the waspish Lord that we quote the passage for the further pleasure of giving the meed of our appro bation to his remark : " He should not now enter on the possible measures which might become the subject of legislation, but they had met for the common purpose of giving encouragement to agriculture —some by precept, some by example, and others who were qualified, like their chairman, by both ; and those who could do nothindeither by way of precept or example i giving them the sanction of their pre sence." And he did not enter intdlegislation or politics, but confined himself, as did the whole company, to those agricultural questions which are the proper business of such societies. We are glad also to sea that the Lancaster Society encouraged discus sion and promoted the reading of essays for the im provement of the agriculturists. This is much wanted, and such societies can scarcely be too much multiplied. Scattered as the farmers generally are, and mingling little in society, they are almost un acquainted with the wonders which have been wrought by the hand of art, and incapable, there fora; of appreciating and applying modern skill to their own occupation. At this meeting the Chair man, who is plaobably acquainted with the mighty things which chemistry has done for the manufac turer in his immediate neighbourhood, said he anticipated the best effects from bringing science to bear on agriculture. He adverted to thrashing machines, and the steam plough, which are almost the only applications of modern mecha nism to the art of agriculture, though it feeds and helps to clothe society, and occupies nearly the whole surface of the empire. Surely this art is as susceptible of improvement by the help of che mistry and mechanics as any one practised ! Wheat itself is said, we believe correctly, to be as much an artificial production as the thousand coloured dahlias which now grace every garden ; and when so =eh has been done by art, why should it now stop short, and not advance as rapidly in agricul ture as in making cloth or manufacturing iron ? In fact, we see something like the germs of improve tnent. An Edinburgh agricultural journal lately sug gested that artificial shelter should be raised for ground on a large scale, like the wall of China, for example, but plAnned so as to protect the land from cold winds, not from a hostile invasion. Why way not such a scheme with our present great me chanical power be easily carried into operation? Diaining the land is continually recommended by the best judges, and why could not that be under taken on a gigantic scale ? There are now thou sands of men scattered through the country skilful in all the works of cutting and digging far beyond the peasantry ~ vl-so must turn their hand to every thing. Why could not this army of navigators, as they are called, be directed by a combination of landlords, to drain the land systematically, skilfully, and extensively ? The Lancaster Guardian says the farmers in that neighbourhood are tenants at will, and cannot be expected to execute such an expensive work as draining at their own cost ; it is therefore incumbent on the landlords to drain their land on some extensive and cheap scheme, like that we have hinted at, or alter the tenure of the land so that the tenants may accomplish so useful a .work. The plain of Lombardy is watered and 'tam e d artificially from one end to the other, and w..ll7,'Should not the English landlords, those proud, *sliiting, and exacting men, do something similar f , • tot. Ul --r Own possessions ? Art is to be applied to atri6fliare, noton any principle of blind imitation, but a skilful adaptation of mechanical knowledge to the present wants, habits, and circumstances of our population. The men trained to make railroads may be usefully employed in artificially draining every part of the empire that requires it. Here we shall, however, be met by a statement of toe vast expense, and the uncertainty of the return. ' The Chairman at the meeting, stated that while the crop of 1838 was barely one-half t h e usual average, the rise in price was not above 25 to 30 per cent., which did not compensate the farmer tar his deficient crop. Now, it is quite impossible in any political division of the earth, and hopelessly impossible in this short fed empire, to shut out alto gether the produce of other countries without causing inconceivable misery. The boldest specu• lator in favour of p-otection for the landed inte rest has not ventured for the last ten years to hint at a total prohibition of all foreign corn. Unless we could obtain a supply from abroad, such as that we obtained last year, when we had a har vest short of half the usual average, famine would be so intense that the country would be no better than a ship at sea out of provisions, the crew of which casts lots who shall be devoured. It is, -therlo,),l44e!ly impossible to exclude foreign corn Atm the cousitry ; and foreign corn being grown at less cost thar);‘corn in England, whenever we are - i ~- this year, and it is clear the price obtained for either a short crop, foreign corn not being ex cluded, or a good average crop, never can pay the expense of cultivation. The farmer is re- duced by the Corn-laws to this dilemma. With the rise in the price of corn, his expenses increase, and the selling price of corn, in order to enable him to obtain a profit through a succession of years, must go on year after year increasing. As that is impossible, sooner or later the circumstances of _ __ - ----------------- 1835 will return, and return with additional ruin to the farmers. For this there is no remedy, • but reducing the cost of cultivation by the abolition of the Corn-laws to the cost of cultivation on the Continent. We invite the attention of our readers, particu larly those of them who are connected with the banking, trading, and commercial interests of the country, to a most important communication, which we insert in another column, from "A Joint Sufferer" in the bankruptcy of CHAMBERS and SON, the late bankers in Bond-street. It will be seen that our Correspondent conveys information of the utmost value to the creditors at large, through the medium of questions which he thus publicly puts to the assignees and solicitors under this disgraceful Com mission of Bankruptcy, —disgraceful, not only to the active parties engaged in the proceedings, but also disgraceful to the Court of Bankruptcy for permitting such an expenditure of the realized assets of this immense estate. If this Commission of Bankruptcy is to be al lowed to linger on under the present management, which has avowedly, on the authority of the official assignee, received upwards of two hundred thou sand pounds in hard cash, without a single fraction of that enormous sum being appropriated as a dividend to the unfortunate creditors of this estate, then we are of opinion that the Court of Bank ruptcy itself requires an immediate and most searching reform. From what was elicited at the public meeting of the creditors of CHAMBERS and SON, at the Opera House, on the 28th ultimo, it appeared that, at the lowest computation, there are estates and property, not yet squandered away from the creditors to the amount of nearly two hundred thousand pounds,—a sum fully equal, even now, to pay fiftten shillings in the pound to every one of the persons who were creditors of the firm of CHA M- B ERS and SoN when they stopped payment in 1824. We think a public meeting of the creditors should immediately be called to require full and satisfactory answers from the present assignees and their solicitors to the important queries which our Correspondent, " A Joint Sufferer," this day puts to them. Such a meeting would enable the creditors to obtain much valuable information on subjects in which their interests are so deeply con cerned. We are sincerely sorry to have to state, on the authority of letters from Havannah, that the infernal slave traffic was never carried on to a much greater extent than it is at present. The monsters asso ciated in this traffic invariably claim the protection of the Portuguese and United States authorities, hoist, when chased, the flags of these Powers, and are provided with papers which sufficiently prove that there must be some collusion between them and the Portuguese and United States' Consuls, By the West India mail, received on Saturday, we learn that her Majesty's sloop, Pickle, having given chase. to a slaver, of the human cargo, consisting of 500 i•:dividuals, 322 were thrown overboard and drowned by the wretches in com mand before her capture ! The remainder were brought to Havannah, where the mixed Commis sion Court having given them their liberty, they were carried, at the request of the Planters, to Jamaica, where all but eight accepted engagements as day-labourers. On the 4th "of July her Ma. jesty's schooner, Pickle, fell in with a suspicious ship, and fired into her. After a chase of six hours the vessel hoisted Portuguese colours, and ran on shore. Lieutenant Holland sent his boats to capture the slaver, when the crew was seen throwing the Africans into the sea. On the boats of the schooner nearing the vessel, the crew jumped into the sea and swam ashore. The slaver proved to be the Sierra del Pilar, with one hundred and eighty slaves on board, most of whom were in a most emaciated condition. A letter received at Jamaica from an officer on board her Majesty's ship Electra, dated 4th April last, states —" We arrived at this beautiful place, after a tole rably good passage of 56 days. On the 25th and 26th of March we captured two slavers from the ccoaars9intl,weith 480 sl aves on b oar d. Th e b r i gan ti ne gave us a twelve hours' chase, and did not heave -to until the shot went over her. This inhu man traffic is carried on to such an extent, that 60,000 Africans are said to have been landed on the coast of Brazil during the last six months ; and unless the British Government send out a number of fast-sailing vessels, the trade will increase." We do not expect that these facts will meet with much consideratio n in Portugal, but we feel confi dent that they will make a deep impression on the mind of nine-tenths of the people of this country. We are sure that no abolitionist can read them compelled to import it, as we are every deficient harvest, prices fall so much that the farmer does not get remunerated for his short crop. While such circumstances exist, it cannot be expected that large sums should be laid out, at our present prices, in agricultural improvement. There is a certainty, because the cost of cultivation is so much higher here than on the neighbouring Continent, that such improvements cannot ultimately be pro- fitable. But in what does the cost of cultivation consist ? We answer the price of labour, the price of seed corn, the price of every thing in which labour is employed that the cultivator has to buy. And why is labour higher priced here than abroad ? Because corn is dearer. Why is corn dearer ? Simply be cause the Corn-laws make it so. If they were not in existence corn would be about the same price here as on the Continent. Thus the high price of corn caused by the Corn-laws is an effectual bar to profitable agricultural improvement. Now as we cannot possibly exclude at all tim.s the cheaper grown corn of the Continent, would it not be for the interest of the farmers, and ultimately for the inte rest of the landlords, to allow corn to be grown here, by the abolition of the Corn-laws, as cheaply as it is grown on the Continent. At present the price of wheat is somewhere about 70s. It was about the same price, or rather higher, last year. A great outcry is made against the farmers for not raising wages corresponding to the price of corn, and in many districts they have raised wages. But whether they raise the wages of their own men or not they must pay the higher wages and increased profits which are given to all the artisans and masters whose services they require, whether directly or indirectly. The consequence is that they are now cultivating their fields at an expense tantamount to wheat at 70s. a quarter. They must realize that price or a greater price next year to cover their expenses, and obtain the ordinary profit. But either an abundant harvest, or the admission of foreign corn, should their own crops be short, would prevent their realizing such a price, and thus the high cost of cultivation caused by the Corn-laws, while it is impossible to exclude foreign corn, and impossible to prevent an abundant har vest, will infallibly cause agriculture to be an un profitable occupation. We believe a great breadth of land was last year cultivated with corn at a great cost, owing to the high price of corn, and a still greater breadth will be cultivated THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1839 Madrid Papers of the sth inst. have been re ceived, being not so late by two days as the news communicated by telegraph of the confirmation of the fueros, which appeared in The Sun of Satur day. On the 4th, General ESPARTERO arrived at Saragossa, at the head of 12,000 men, where he found as many more troops cantoned in readiness to march against CABRERA. ESPARTERO is accompanied by CABANERO one of the bravest of CABRERA'S companions in arms, and intimately acquainted with his mode of warfare. General VALDEZ was at Olot, preparing to march against the Count D'ESPAGNE, at the head of 7,000 infantry, 500 cavalry, and 12 pieces of cannon. D'ESPAGNE was at Bergara, preparing for war, and treating with the QUEEN'S Generals about surrendering. There is no political news of importance in the French Journals of Friday and Saturday, except extracts from letters relative to the affairs of the East, which will be found under one head in ano ther part of The Sun. On Thursday night the King and Royal Family returned from Fontainbleau to St. Cloud, and on Friday his Majesty attended a Cabinet Council at the Tuileries, which sat for four hours. The accounts of the state of the crops are tole rably favourable. In most of the departments grain is more abundant than was expected. Though large quantities of corn had a; rived at Marseilles fro►: the ports of Italy and ihe Black Sea, the 41b. loaf continued on Saturday in Paris at eigh teen sous, or ninepence British currency. From the avidity with which the corn dealers were buying up every sack of wheat brought to market no decline in the price of bread was anticipated. The Nationalgives the following account of the newly-projected Spanish loan :---." Messrs. DE.. CAZES, SOULT, and other personages, whose ele vated political station has not changed their taste for speculation, have conceived the idea of negociat ing a considerable loan for Spain. This loan would be guaranteed by a mortgage of the Philippine Islands to the lenders ; the proceeds to be paid up in three instalments ; the first in ready money, to the Spanish Government, he second in paper, and the third when intellignce of the establishment of the colony in the Philippines should have reached Europe. Several meetings have already been held to reduce into form this impracticable project. M. DE ROTHSCHILD declined taking any part in the affair, and M. AGUADO, who knows well that his country will never consent to part with those islands, and consequently does not consider the transaction feasible, left for his estate of Chateau Margaux to escape being importuned by official jobbers." Two working men were tried and acquitted on Friday, for having said in a tavern, that Louts PIIILIPPE was the greatest brigand of the three. Kings who reigi.ed in Paris during the last twenty four years. The Governmennt would act far more wisely, if it took no notice of the treasonable speeches of pot-valiant tipsy operatives. Count Pozzo di Borgo has completely recovered from his indisposition. He pays and receives visits every day. General Baron de los Vallos, whose arrival we have spoken of, was set at liberty on Friday. He was ar rested for having served against the power in alliance with the existing Government. The decree ordering his release applies to him the 21st article of the Civil Code, and places him in the class of Spanish Generals who have taken refuge in France. A Journal announces that M. de Saligny, Secretary of Legation at Washington, is appointed Minister from the French Government to the Republic of Texas. It is said that the. Ministry hcs just sent orders to Marseilles to accelerate the p re li m i nary proceedings in the affair of M. Arnaud de Fabre, notary, w h o i s ac- cused of perjury. It is reported that more than a thou sand witnesses will be examined on the trial, which will not appear astonishing when we add, above twelve hun dred documents are supposed to be forged. The Che valier de Feborel, formerly colonel of infantry, and aide-de-camp to his Royal Highness the Prince of Conde, died lately, in the 90th year of his age.—La Gazette dc France. The journals of the frontier are filled with details of the brilliant entry of Espartero into Saragossa. THE PERFECT DIPLOMATIST. All Paris is aware of the aristocratic promotion of M. de Pontois ; but all Paris is not acquainted with the flattering man ner in which this favour was bestowed. This per sonage had an audience to take leave. He was re ceived very affectionately ; and just as he was on the point of retiring, his Majesty said, "M. de Pontois, without doubt you are a high-gifted personage, but still something is wanting to enable you to represent perfectly the French Government at Constantinople." It may be easily imagined that both surprise and mo desty raised several protestations in the breast of M. de Pontois. In vain he endeavoured to read the au gust physiognomy before him. His Majesty enjoyed this perplexity for some minutes, but said at length, Yes, M. de Pontois, something was still wanting ; and here it is." The future rival of M. de Boutenieff received with respectful emotion the receipt for making a perfect diplomatist. It consisted of letters patent of noblesse. The following morning . the di p l omat i st ' s cards were thus distributed about Paris :—" Le Count Edouard de Pontois, P. P. C."—Commerce of Friday. The Temps gives the following as an on a cir culated after the breaking up of the last Council of Ministers : " The passports granted to Don Sebas tian, and an animated declaration of the Minister of without being impressed with the necessity that exists for some such measure as Lord PALMER STON'S Portuguese Slave Trade Suppression Bill. While the Established Clergy, the Tories, and the enemies of education, made the country ring with their wild clamour against the grant of 30,0001. for educational purposes, a few of the " Shabby Whigs" met at the Thatched House Tavern for the purpose of furthering the object of the gran t by private subscription. We stated at the time that her MAJEsTY's name stood at the bead of the list for 1001., the Duke of BEDFORD'S, for the same sum, and that a number of other noble men and private gentlemen had also subscribed libe rally. The Committee have already raised between 4,0001. and 5,0001., and the subscription goes on increasing. While Whig noblemen, some of them with very limited incomes, are thus sub scribing their fifties and their hundreds for the improvement of education on Scriptural and com prehensive principles, and their example is followed by commoners, two of whom have subscribed 2001. each, what have the wealthy heads of the Church done ? The Bishop of LONDON, it is true, sum moned his vassal clergy about the same time to hear a lecture on diocesan schools. He could not well do less when laymen came forward in such a liberal manner to perform duties for which he and his brethren are so extravagantly paid. What fur ther steps have been taken here or throughout the country the public know not. They would wil lingly let the subject sleep, but for these " infidel Whigs," who will force them to imitate their ex ample a second time, and give a pittance out of their princely revenues to support the rival esta blishment. By the Iberia steamer, which arrived at Falmouth on Saturday, Lisbon rapers of the 7th inst., have been received. They contain no political news of the slightest consequence. Robberies and murders were so frequent, that in the hope of putting a stop to them the authorities were having recourse to the old method of amending the morals of the people— namely, by affording them ocular demonstration of the consequences of cutting throats and picking pockets. For this purpose a gallows was in the course of erection, and hangmen were ordered from Oporto and Braga, while the mob-laureates of Lisbon were busy in preparing last speeches and dying ditties, expressive of the deepest penitence, and the utmost horror of the process of hanging. We need not repeat here our convictions upon this subject. To utterly brutalize a people, no spectacle is required but that of the gallows, with its burthen of human guilt. This is a truth which most Governments have yet to learn, and yet it is one of the utmost importance to the whole human race. We find in a Jamaica paper of the l lth of Septem ber that the Governor asserted in a public document that he had been repeatedly threatened with assasina tion, and it was proposed to get up meetings to call upon him to give such information as would lead to the apprehension and conviction of the offender. This was thought to be a straightforward course. The Jamaica Dispatch of the 13th September, says, that twelve thousand dollars have been subscribed by the merchants of Jamaica as a reward for the appre hension and conviction of the parties who made use of threats of assassination to the Governor. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATURDAY. -- We have had a fair demand for cotton to-day, and full prices have been obtained. The sales 3,500 bags, chiefly to the trade.

LORD EBRINGTON.---The Mayor and other inhabitants of Barnstaple have presented a complimen tary address to his Lordship, congratulating him on his return. / Foreign Affairs on the subject of the excesses which Are still committed in Spain, have produced a great effect upon the little Court of Bourges. They demand pass ports, and dread the brutality of the old Marshal. The Pretender abandons, or fairs the abandonment, of his pretensions, and says he will not allow war to be carried on in his name. It appears, in fact, adds the Temps, "that Don Carlos has sent two secret agents to Cabrera and the Count d'Eapagn e , and it is supposed that this is for the purpose of inviting them to lay down their arms. The Count d'Espagne has anticipated the desire of the Prince. As to Cabrera, the army of Espartero and the law of the fiteros, voted at Madrid, will perhaps in.iuce him to follow the example. The agent of Don Carlos can only contribute to this decision. The Capitole says, in relation to the reported demand for passports, " We are assured that the speedy liberation of Don Carlos has been confidently reckoned upon by a certain party, and that measures had been taken to convey him to Catalonia to the army of Cabrera. Communications are said to have been made on this subject to the Ambassador of a northern Power." BOURSE. PAk, Q ....:ATURDAY, OCT. 12. /irst Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price. Price.

The intelligence from Lisbon is of little importance— the particulars will be found in another part of the paper• A mail has also arrived by the Spey, from Brazil— left Rio on the 10th August, Bahia on the 24th, and Pernambuco on the 4th September. Accounts from Monte Video state that Lavalzega and La Ran de Gomez are again acting against the existing Gavernment at Buenos Ayres. The blockade still continued. It is stated that General Rosas has a great number of troops under arms, and that it will require at least 10,000 men on the part of the French before they can force them to yield. Maranham is represented to be in a state of complete insubordination. A mail has arrived from Jamaica, by the Petrel, which sailed from Hayti on the 18th October. We have received Jamaica papers to the 15th September : Fhe militia of this island has been virtually dis banded, and most persons are surprised at the order now issued to bring out the St. Catherine's Regiment. We have no doubt, however, that they will muster strong. " BANK OF JAMAICA.—On Monday last, the 9th of September, the Shareholders of this Bank held their half-yearly meeting for the purpose of hearing read a report of the Directors for the six months ending 30th June. The report was satisfactory to the Shareholders, recommending a dividend of five per cent., and a consi derable amount to be placed to the surplus fund. " PLANTERS' BANK.--WC are happy to learn, the Standard says, that the prospects of this Bank are most flattering. " By a late arrival from Carthagena, Bogota papers to the 14th August' have been received, a supplement to the Government organ of that date, furnishes the fol lowing information respecting the revolt of Porto : " General Pedro Horren arrived at Popayan on the 27th of last month, and after having made enquiries re lative to the state of affairs in Porto, and hoping to be able to pacify that province, and re-establish entire obe dience to the laws, without recurring to coercive mea sures, resolved to proceed to Porto on the 30th, without taking any military force, accompanied solely by two or three officers : should the measures of pacification not succeed, a respectable body of troops in the province of Popayan, will be marched in time to Porto." We have received Demerara Papers to the 3d Sep tember; they are entirely void of interest. The Barbadoes Papers to the 29th August are of the same cast. We have received a Rio Janeiro Price Current of the Bth August, from which the following is an extract : " Very considerable business has been done in the Exchange since our last of the 19th ult. at a further gradual advance of fully 1 per cent. ; from 31i to 324, and even 33 was given in some instances. To-day seve ral amounts were passed at 321, but it left off rather flat, and some money remained at this rate. Stocks we have to report a decline of I to 1 per cent., viz., from 74 to 73} and 73 ; but though there has been more business doing lately, the rates are still far from being firm, and in order to dispose of even a moderate amount of stock, a reduction of at least 1 per cent. must be submitted to." MANSION-TIOUSE-(THIS DAY.) Peter Franklin, a person well known to the police, was charged with having liclently assaulted two po!iec men, and threatened to " rip them open." The prisoner said the officers had a spite against him for finding fault with them when they went to drink in public-houses. The LORD MAYOR said if he could prove that, per- . haps les s we i g ht wou ld b e attached to the testimony of the officers, and in order to give him a full opportunity for so doing, he would commit him for trial at the Sasions. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY. Police constabble No. 156 C, stated that he knew all the prisoners to be thieves, and associates of one another. He had known Hunt as a bad character for teu years. Mr. Jardine sentenced them to two months' im prisonment in the House of Correction and hard labour. TON -GARDEN.-(THIS DAY DEAR FUN.—John Collins, a native of the Emerald Isle, was charged with being drunk, and assaulting a constable. It appeared that the prisoner, during his state of intoxication, had run a muck at every body and every thing in his way. Mr. CumßE—What have you to say? Prisoner (with an indescribably merry , expression of countenance) —Why % piase your VVurtchip, it was all fun. I had tuck a dhrop of the cratur—and I might have sthruck him and he me, but I've got; no marks, and he's got no marks, so it can only be fun, and I suppose you'll let me go this oncet. Mr. ComßE—You must pay twenty shillings for your fun, or be imprisoned three weeks. The prisoner, who seemed quite electrified by this tragical conclusion to his fun, was then removed in custody. PLUNDERING BY SERVANTS.—Catherine Hubbard and Mary Hubbard, mother and daughter, were placed at the bar, charged with stealing provisions from Mr. Montagu Levyson, of Queen-square, the master of the younger prisoner. The prosecutor stated that last evening, at seven o'clock, he was returning to his house, and observed the elder prisoner standing at his area with a bundle ; when questioner',, she said she had brought the bundle for her daughter, who lived as servant there. On his desiring her •to go the street door she threw the bundle down the area and ran off. On examination the bundle was found tr, contain proviisions, bread, groceries, and wax candles, which the girl had pilfered from her master to give to her mother. As, however, the pro secutor could not swear to the provisions, the prisoners, who offered no defence, were discharged, after a ses ere reprimand from the Magistrate. John Dennis was sentenced to a fine of 205., or three weeks' imprisonment for an assault on Mr. W. G. Lailo r, la odlord of the Globe Tavern, who had refused to supply him with liquor, while in a state of intoxi cation. I CUPID v. LIQUOR.— A red-headed, pug-nosed, broad-shouldered. personage, who gave his name as Cupid, but why bore no re semblance to the boy-god, save in his hay.ing a bandage over his eye, and in wound ing those wb o offered hinr aid, was charged with being drunk, and committing are assault. Cupid, it appeared, had been paying a visit to Bacchus somewhere in Fleet-street, and, on quitting the jolly god, met with a butcher, who, not being given to heathenism, eschewing Bacchus, had n ail quietly and i m bib e d hi s potat i ons at the Mitre. ue said butcher being an iconoclast, had attacked Cupid with his cleaver, and cut his eye and his head, which accounted for his appearance in the bandage. A passer-by, taking pity on the fallen Cupid, went and picked him up, whereupon Cupid, as usual, attacked his prese ever. The policr!, like the fates, forcing obe dience •:o the mandate s both of gods and men, marched Cupid off to tht station-house, where he had remained in durance cv er since. No prosecutor ap peared; and Mr. Combe , not thinking that either her Majesty or her lieges could be in much danger from such a Cuspid, suffered him to go at large. ACCIT►EN7' ON THE BIRMING HAM RAILWAY. The mail train from the north was this morning thrown off the rails, about a mile from Fenny Stratford ; in consequence of running ov'r two cows. The tra. yelling post-office was much injured, and the horse box, in which a great portion of the mail bags are deposited, was noarly broken to piiicos, as well as another car riage. An. engine and a second class carriage were imme diately sent for the conveys; ace of the mails to London, .where they arrived two hour, s and 40 minutes after the proper time. In consequei ice of the travelling office being broken, ail the letters :for the towns between Wol verton and London, and for the post towns on this line on each side the railway, lye) .e unavoidably brought on to London, from which pla mthey were again despatched by the day mail to their d. !stination. Fortunately the two cler .ks and the guard employe in the travelling nest office escaped without injury. NE W STRAIN iFfHEATRE. sin Saturday night Mr. I fammond delivered the fol- Lowing address on the conclu. ;ion of the season : " LADIES AND GENTLEM EN—With this night our season ends ; and I again ap pear before you to venture a few more last words.' It. has been our wish to be guile the severity of the lac* summer with sunshine here ; and, I am happy to sa' y, that though the thermo meter has been somewhat low outside, in this place the quicksilver has risen very ha ndsomely.

I John Thoroughgood was charged with felony. Mr. James Francis Holmes, tallow-chandler, of 180, Brick -street, Spite!fields, stated that the prisoner was occasionally employed by him as a candlemaker, end that on Saturday evening, after receiving his wages, he went down into the cellar, where he had no right to go. On coming up again he was questioned, and he admitted having taken half a cake of soap, which he pulled from his pocket. Since that time the house of the prisoner had been searched, and a considerable quan tity of candles and soap had been found, which was his (Mr. Holmes') property. The prisoner was remanded to allow time for the pro duction of the property. Two Irishwomen, named Mary Barker and Julia Freharly, were brought up on suspicion of having stolen a gold watch, which was offered in pledge for 31. by the first-mentioned prisoner, the value of it being 151. The maker's name is Griffiths. The prisoners were remanded ; and Mr. Alderman Pirie gave directions that the watch should be ad vertised. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) CONVICTION OF THREE OF THE SWELL MOB.— James 111'.Fann, James Hunt, and William Harris, three of the swell mob, and who have frequently been in custody before, charged with picking pockets, were placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, the Magistrate of Bow -street Court, who sat in place of Mr. Long. Joseph Reynolds, of No. 19, Bath-place, City Road, stated that about seven o'clock on Saturday evening, he saw the prisoners in company together in Oxford -street, and knowing them to be thieves, he followed and watched them until they reached Regent Circus, when they attempted to hustle and pick the pocket of an elderly lady, and, while in the act, witness and a police constable, whom he had called to his assistance, rushed upon them, and, after much resistance, effected their capture. In tEe confusion the lady passed on without her name or address having been ascertained. The prisoners protested with great assurance that they were persons of respectable character, and begged to be remanded in order to get time to send to their friends. TO THE EDITOR OP '/1/P sr7.N. . _ Sta.,—Nothing can bc more grateful to the liberal mind than the perfect impartiality you observe towards contending sects ; this, combined with your truly Erglish line of politics, must still enlarge the circuit of The Sun. It has afforded me pleasure to find in many country inns, the Standard accompanied by The See— the bane and its antidote. The fables, misrepresenta tions, and direct falsehoods of the hypocritical Standard are met and put down by the truth-telling Sun. Your observation on Lord Roden's statement of the circum stances attending the death of Reynolds are very good. You have placed his Lordship on the horns of a dilemma. It he made his statements with the ready, and willing-to-believe, haste of a partisan, without the attanpt to get at the truth through conflicting state ment, then is his conduct that of an unscrupulous poli tical adversary ; but if be wilfully shuts his eyes to the plain facts of the case, then is his conduct not only un worthy of a pious man (which I believe he passes for) but also of an honest man, for there can be no sincere piety without honesty. Would you believe it, Mr. Editor, a set of persons here who arrogate to themselvs the title of the Protes tant Reformation Society—have actually addressed a letter of thanks to Lord Roden for his conduct in the recent investigation of the Irish Government ? Why did not the Lords report in that matter ? The Monthly Chronicle toils us why—because that report, if fairly drawn up, would have condemned their own factious proceedings, and would have been an eulogium on Lord Normanby's Government. Truly, Mr. Elitor, these M‘Ghoes, O'Sullivan's, M'Neiles, and other wor thies of the pretended Protestant Societies, make a great noise, like the shrine makers of old ; and no doubt they make no small gain by this craft, in their own persons or that of their relatives. I cannot find that these bel lowing partisans of the Church are better Christians or better subjects than the Roman Catholics they so much abuse ; they are certainly not the latter, but we are led to the conclusion, seeing the intemperance of these met, that the whole of their religion consists in the abuse of those who differ from them.—l am, Mr. Editor, yours, &c. A CONSTANT READER. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain and Flour since last Monday have been moderate. The town millers took off the best parcels of New Wheat at last week's terms, other qualities, as also Foreign, met a slack demand. Barley, unless very fine, ls. to 2s. per quarter lower than last Monday. Beans and Pease unvaried. Oats have experienced a languid sale, and hardly supported their late value.

PATENT SNUFFERS.—Mr. Shrapnel, of GOS port, sometime ago, obtained a patent for Snuffers on a new and scientific principle. The candle is snuffed in the usual manner, and the damper presses the snuff against a se r i es o f p ro jected s pik e s ; wh en f u ll t h e whole is detached from the snuffer, and the snuff can be at once removed from the spikes with the utmost ease : they effectually prevent the snuff from falling out and injuring furniture. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Sunday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, the neighbourhood of the Ship Tavern, Millbank, was th rown i nto consider able alarm by it having been reported that Mrs. Hunt, the wife of T. Hunt (who resides at Mr. Chandler's, the Ship Tavern), the celebrated wager-boat builder, had committed suicide, and which was found to be too true. It appears that about the time mentioned the deceased had just made tea, and having sent out her n ephew, a boy about fourteen years of age, on an errand, she committed the rash act during his absence.
