a ~~ .~,~r • • t • ar v. • 8 4 ..:..) - (From the Nation.) . ~ .-:.: iiiii ....) e f i The-blow with which it h as pl e ased an All-Wise God _N K` to strike us is too fresh, and has been too stunning, to allow of anything like a free and worthy utterance of our feeling fur him whom we have lost. He is laid in the earth, and yet we cannot scarcely bring ourselves to believe that he is gone—that all his deep affections, his mounting hopes, his manly labours, his earnest life, are ended in this world for evermore ! The change seems still unreal, like a dark dream which we struggle to put e , say. We have no power to speak of him as we o , .ght. Cure leres loquuntur— ingentes stupent. But, • painfully and weakly as we may, we must say a few broken words of one of the truest and purest and no'olest men whom friend ever honoured, or country ever mourned Thoinias Davis has died in his youth; before his me tered understanding and his ripened knowledge had poured their wealth upon the world. But, whilst he lived, he was a faithful worker, and the few years which were given to him were rich enough in wise and generous action, to win him lasting honour from the land which he loved with a love that had no bounds, and served with a dsvotion which never knew the taint of sel fishne a. Of his powers—as an intellectual man, a thinker, and a writer —it were idle, in thi s pl ace , to speak. Widely and well have the people recognised the vigour of his coacep:iens and the magic of his - style, and they need no one to tell them of the mental strength of him who so imprt ssed himself upon their understandings, and so commanded the passage to their hearts. Within a short period he wrote much in politics and literature, as a poet and as a critic, and wherever his genius was exercised, its mastery was felt. Men differ as to the political opinions which he held; but they can • have no difference as to the large resources, the capacity of reasoning, the affluence of illustration, the untiring energy, and the heart-sprung eloquence with which he enf , re d them. His poetry was the spontaneous expression of a soul ins , inet with high impulses and kindly feelings, and full of affection for all goodness and beauty in art, in nature, and in human life. What he did was a mere promise of the thin:es to come, had he been spared to inform the mind and lift up the spirit of his countrymen ; but even so, he has left behind bim abounding proofs of the great qualities of his intellect, which will live whilst Ireland has a life:. Of his acquirements, it were almost as vain to speak as of his genius. They ranged through all the walks of li unless thought and speculation, and they were as pro f ,und as they were various. But of his own people—of their annahe their statistics, their topography, their lite rature— his knowledge was especially remarkable. No man of his years—we believe, no man of his generation— Lad achieved so full an insight into these things. He toiled to gain it with the most strenuous industry and the most unflinching resolution. Oar antiquities—the story of our later days—the lives of our great men—the resources of our island—he s••ught to understand at once with the patient devoted ness of the scholar, and the fiery passion of the rariot. Of his eminent success he gave proof, as well an these pages, as in those masterly and mo s t l earne d papers which he contributed to the reports of the Re peal Association ; but it was only in private intercourse that the vastness of his accomplishments could be at all Appreciated. And all these faculties, and all these en dowments—all the gifts of his nature, and all the trea sures of his rnemery—ware valued by him only as they were available for the advancement of his life's great purpose—the exaltation of Ireland. The love of her gloried at the core of his heart. It was with him no psesine phantasy of youth, fading in the "common day" of a selfish and sordid world—it was the principle of his being--the spring of his efforts—the abiding inspire lion of his hopes. The ex tent of his loss, as a public man, it is not easy to comprehend. Perhaps, his most striking characteristic was the unceasing energy with which he pursued the coerse he had chlen for himself. Difficulty could not flishearten . , or opposition subdue, or failure depress him. Ile always sti"iggled on to his object ; and those who came within the range of his influence were heartened to do their part bravely by his example. His spirit lent its fire to the spirit of other men, and it was bard for those around him to indulge sluggishoess of thought or apathy of feeling. .But great as was his value to the society, in which he liven for the reasons we have noted, the peculiar cir• cumstaaces of Ireland make his loss even more de plorable on another ground. In such a community as ours, miserably broken into sections by political and religious feuds, it is difficult to draw together the true . . men who exist in every party, and combine them for the good of all. Eire qualities are needed in him who would attempt to harmonise the struggling elements of such a community, and bring those who have held themselves apart, in mutual distrust because in mutual ignorance, to look each other kindly in the face ; to know that they have common thoughts, and wishes, and aspirations; to recognise theircommon interests and their common duties ; and recollect that they are not only 'mem bers of the brothood of humanity, but men who have a ejrnmon country to love, to serve, and to be proud of. Lam qualities must be his who, without compromise of his owitopmions—nay, whilst he asserts them with peculiar strength and boldness—can fulfil a mission such as this and, whilst he softens bitter asperities and conquers ancient prejudices, can command the love and confidence of his political foes. And such were the qualities of Thomas Davit. Taking his stand in the front of his party and proclaiming its doctrines fearlessly and de lyingly, he went amongst the men whose intellect and attainments adorn our metropolis, and won from those of them, to whom his political sentiments were most dis tillate:ll, cordial attachment and generous admiration. In every effort to exalt Irish art and create an Irish literature, he was found working side by side with them, and they are foremost now in speaking his praises, and lamenting his early loss. He has established, to a large extent, a fate and friendly understanding between the best Amongst us of all creeds and parties and he was p ecu li a rly fitted to carry en the good work of union, and create sentiments of trust and charity where jealousy and division h.A dwelt before. For he was a man of large sympathies, r ,...4whing intellectual persons of various accomplishments and s•eziotts pursuits. He had a for bearing and entirely toleraSst nature. The transparent sincerity of his soul no one cc'dd question ; and his childlike guileless and simplicity of heart made him trusted as soon as he was known. Thus := was, that he h a d amongst all parties warm and devoted Merles, who looked to his genius with pride, and to his life with hope; and thus it was, that he was enabled to promote, more than aiiv other, the junction for national objects of those whis cherish national feeling and national spirit, whether they are called Conservatives or Repealers. Of the most culLi sated in Ireland, there are many, indeed, who bear to her a true attachment—who are anxious to improve her condition, and raise her cha racter—who would give her a history, and a literature, and make art, with all its glories, native to her soil, but who stand apart from the great movement of the people. Between such men and Thomas Davis political antagonism could not prevent a close alliance ; they knew and honoured him ; and he was pre paring the way for a combination, fruitful of the highest benefit to the country. Of his services to the awakening literature of Ireland, no es ti m ate can well be exaggerated. It is net too much to say, th a t whatever of vitality and progress it has shown in latter days, is largely to be ascribed to his con tinual prompting and endeavours. His mind never reeted, or spent itself idly in mere en joyment. He was al,s7ays projecting and planning— acting himself and stirring other men to action ; and almost all the undertakings which have done so much within the last few years to rouse the intellect of the people, and to give them higher tastes and wider know ledge, were begun on his suggestion, or carried forward with his constant and ever ready aid. Hereafter, when we shall have a literature " racy of the soil," and ex. pressing truly the spirit of the country, and when men shall come and tell how it was planted, and how it sprung to vigorous life, what Thomas Davis thought and did for it when it needed helpers will be held in grateful and affectionate remembrance. Of his public worth and his public services we have poori s ' I T spoken; but of his relation to those who were hound in him, by nearer ties, we can hardly venture to speak at all. By his family and friends he was fondly and proudly loved. No one could know him without loving him. No one could look into his clear, brave spirit, • ' and note the wealth of goodness which adorned it, and fail to beet* him deep attachment. His earnest :simplicity, and almt;st 'womanly tenderness of nature, were beautiful in their tunion with the severe integrity of Isis principles, his masculine understanding, his high entlitesiasm, his marvellous energy, and his unconquer able perseverance. It was no wonder that, abounding in all truth and gentleness, trusty in every extremity, and faithful in every trial, he was cherished by those who knew him with thorough knowledge, as a man worthy to be worn in one's heart of hearts. it is vain to attempt description of the suffering w hi c h his untimely fate has brought on those who were his friends. We shall not speak of it; but of the public demonstrations of respect in which the people have been so prodigal, we are bound to say a grateful word. John O'Connell has acted with a manly and generous promptitude that does him lasting honour. He led the 'way in testifying to the magnitude of the loss which has !befallen the country ; and he was nobly followed by the 'worthiest and the best in Dublin. Of the funeral there is something said in another place ; and here we shall only add, that the intellect of Ireland—its art—its com merce, were fitly represented there. Men of every class ,of opinion crowded to offer the tribute of their tears at the early grave of him in whose goodness they all had faith --for whose genius they all had reverence. The homage was worthy of the man and of the nation. It was the triumph of single-hearted honesty, and proved powers of mind over all the inveterate prejudices of party, even in the land which it has most deeply cursed. The people have done their cit) ; nor has the press been wanting. Sadly, yet proudly, we point to the evi ilt.nee which journals the most hostile in their views, _have combined to bear to the moral and mental great- Lissa of one with whom few of them had full communion c,f sentiment whilst he lived and laboured. ''hen such things can be, there is hope for Ireland • fo end whilst we h um b ly bow bere the chastenin g d perisatk'n of Pr ov id ence, which has startled us to a co i n s - 1 keit times: , of ou r mortalit • and taught us to refl ec t on the utter instability o f al l 'world] y fiole us to think that, even i n death , things' it may con. our dear f r i en d h as which d io lhat the Lin t s ignalised not ceased to serve th e l an d of his lov e, woe ted combination of h earts and hands the memory of his virt ues wh i lst he was bo r nesised t to his cold home, is at once the pro o f t h at his effor t s Ms countrymen have not been v a i n , and the inspiring irunitete premise that Ireland shall yet achi eve the wisdom and the happiness to the promotion of which he had dedi e.ated his life. Among his earliest verses—for he had never published, sotto• belieye never written, a line of poetry before the esesitiod of The .Nation—was his touching piece, entitled THE BOARD OF ORDNANCE AND THE PARISH OF WOOLWICH. For the last two or three years a dispute llas existed between the authorities of the Ordnance and the Com missioners or the town of Woolwich acting as guardians of the town under the Local Act, relative to the right of way across the Barrack-field, by a footpath leading from Mulgrave-place to the " White-gate" on Woolwich common. The claim of the parish is founded on an Act of Parliament passed about fifty years since, for autho rising the sale of part of Woolwich-common to the Board of Ordnance, in which Act is an especial reserva tion as a footpath of the road in question. Between two and three years since, after a lengthened correspond ence on the subject, Mr. Hignett, the then solicitor to the Ordnance, addressed a letter to Mr. Nukes, the legal adviser of the Board of Commissioners, admitting the full right of the parish to the footpath in question. Not withstanding this admission, the authorities of the gar rison have from time to time interrupted the public in passing through the " White-gate," thereby occasioning great inconvenience to persons crossing the Barrack field. About two months since, on the ordinary annual occasion of perambulating the Ordnance boundaries, the sentry on duty at the gate refused to allow the public to pass, and on that occasion, in consequence of a remon strance from Mr. Nokes, Major Sandilands, the Deputy- Assistant Quartermaster-General, addressed a letter to that gentleman, stating that the sentry, in opposing the passing of foot-passengers, acted under a mistake, and that care would be taken that the mistake should not occur again. On Sunday morning last Alt Cann, an undertaker, proceeded with the funeral of the body of a boy named Leonard who perished by the explosion in the Royal Arsenal, and whose parents resided in Bar rack-court, to the White-gate, where the mourners were refused admission by the sentry. After some remon strance he was allowed to pass, and the funeral ceremony having been concluded, the mourners were returning through the White-gate, when they were again stoppel by another sentinel, who peremptorily refused to allow them to pass. Mr. Cann remonstrated with the sentry, and told him that it was a public way ; but the re ply was, that the sentry who had allowed them to pass before had been placed iniconfinement for allowing them to do so, and that they could not be allowed to pass. Mr. Cann then asked whether, if the mourners took off their cloaks and hoods, they would bo allowed to pass as other passengers ; and no direct denial being given, he proceeded to remove the scarfs and hoods of the females, and sent over to their house, only a few yards oft; for coloured bonnets. In the meantime a non-commissioned officer came running up from the barracks, and said, in reply to the remonstrances of Mr. Cann, " I don't care what you say, I want none of y our l aw , you s h an ' t pass here." The consequence was, that the afflicted mourners had to return by a road at least half a mile in length, when they were within a few yards of their own re sidence. All these facts were brought under the notice of the Commiasioners at their usual meeting, on Tues day evening, when, after a strong expression of feeling from all the gentlemen present, it was unanimously re solved to appoint a Committee with full powers, to lay tbo whole of the circumstances and the correspondence before the Master-General, and in the event of his decision being unsatisfactory, to demand from Lord Bloomfield, the Commandant of the Garrison, the names of all the parties connected with the outrage, in order that legal proceedings may be instituted against them The affair has caused an extraordinary sensation amongst the inhabitants of the town. ADELPHI THEATRE. --- One of thosebroad, indescribably laughable farces, in which a slight sketch from the author serves as a canvass, which is filled up by the actors, who in such cases may, without ex aggeration, be termed artists, inasmuch as the pie'ce depends solely upon their artistical talents for its success, was produced at this theatre last evening, and if the roars of laughter of a crowded audience betoken " a blaze of triumph," then it was most triumphantly successful. It is called Seeing Wright, and never, was that inimitable farceur seen to greater per fection. He acts the part of an amorous policeman— we were not near enough to the stage to see his number, but it certainly ought to be A 1. Like all policemen, he entertains a cupboard love for a pretty nur, maid on his beat, and, like all pretty nursemaids, she pat:onises the drama whenever she can get an order. A ceri. n Mr. Violet (Paul Bedford) "gives Susan, the nurse mri I (Mrs. F, Mathews), an order to go to the Adelphi to see ; and she,. having got her policeman-lover into the house, leaves him in charge while she goes to see W r i g h t. He immediately waxes jealous, and thinks it is not right; but he is roused by the squalling of the children. While he is tempting to quiet them the. master and mistress return, anft he hides himself in bed. A series of most ridiculously hu•;liable contretemps follow, which, to be enjoyed, nm be seen ; and at last the policeman, having managed to flet, o all parties, and having been perfectly satisfied that du_ can be no harm in seeing Wright, is united to his Susan. Wright was excellently supported by Paul Bedford and Mrs. F. Mathews, and we recommend all our readers who enjoy a regular hearty screaming, side-shaking laugh, to go once and "see Wright." SHOCKING CAST ACCMENT.--YeSterday mo rn in g bet ween ten and eleven o'clock, a melaneholy accidenthapelted to Stephen Bayley, a labouring man, li v i ng in Greer.; Windmill-street, Haymarket. It appears that whilst at tempting to stop a horse in a cart, which had taken fright in the Westminster-road, he was thrown to the ground, and ran over by the wheels of the vehicle, which passed over his body, mutilating him in a shocking manner from the head to the extremities. He was instantly conveyed to a sur geon's in the immediate neighbourhood, who rendered every assistance that the poor fellow's unfortunate case demanded, but we are soiry /0 Add that not the slightest hopes are en- tertained of his recovery'. „ 4 havFeitßoßinzfitormMAonuirsCrseaedLerstAthLLat a EG i t. e —bWrokee Dirt are in s Man s sorry to chal College, on Wednesday last, which, but for; the prompt and effective measures taken to subdue it, must have soon laid in ruins a great portion of that fine building. The fire Is believed to have originated in the Surgiaal Museum, situated on the ground-floor of the north-east angle of the College, contiguous to the Surgery Class-room, and imme diately underneath the Humanity Class-room. Its existence was first intimated by a dense smoke, which attracted the notice of parties employed in the adjoining works of the Messrs. Blaikie, a few minutes before ten o'clock in the morning. Several fire-engines, however, having quickly reached the spot, they were plied with such , energy and effect, that, in the course of an hour, the fire was completely extinguished. The origin of the fire appears to have been entirely accidental. The building itself is fully insured; but no such compensation, we believe, is provided either for the Surgical Museum, which was completely destroyed, or for the other scientific departments of the College,which might have shared the same fate. The loss sustained by the destruction of the preparationS it will be very difficult to repair. The Humanity Class-room also suffered materially from the la mentable accident, the fire having penetrated from the flat below, consuming a great portion of the floor, and charing and blackening the furnishings of the room. The wall outside, above the windows through which the flame burst, is much disfigured, the intensity of the flame splintering the stones for a considerable way round its places of exit.—Abridged from the Aberdeen Herald.

THE SUN, LONDON; TEMPERAMENT OF VOLTAIRE. His nature was open and ardent ; he had the irrita bility which oftentimes accompanies genius ; but he had the warm temperament, the generous self-abandonment, the uncalealating effusions of sentiment which was also its attendant, and which sixty years' living in the world never cured, hardly mitigated, in Voltaire. His ex pressions were, no doubt, stronger than his feelings, but we know that this strength of expression bas a cer tain re-action, and excites the feelings in its turn, cer tainly is ever taken into the account when its object makes a bad or a cold requital, and irritates the minds from which it had proceeded, if in no other way, at least by wounding their pride. Nothing can be more extravagant than the technology of Voltaire's affections. " My dearest friend" is too cold to be almost ever used ; it is " my dear and ador a bl e f r i en d," " m y guardian angel," " my adorable friend," and often, to the Ar gentals especially, the union of both, " my adorable angels." All philosophers are Newtons, all poets Vir gils, all historians Sallusts, all marshals erasers. The work of the President Henault is not certainly " son," but " var. charmante, votre immorel ou'vrage," being the most dry and least charming history that ever was penned, and which never would be read but as a con venient chronicle. The expressions of affection, of eter nal, warm, even passionate affection, are lavished con stantly and indifferently. Nay, to one friend, a Marsha' and Duke (Richelieu), he says, addressing him as mon seigneur, " Il y a dans Paris force vieilles et eating I qui wins ayes fait passer de joyeux moments, mais it nyen a point qui vous aime plus de moi." With all this vehemence of feeling and facility of effusion, as well as of exaggeration, there was joined an irritability that *aught on cold fits occasio na lly, an d t h en t h e snow, or ra r the hail, fell as easily and abundantly as the tepid showers had before descended. Nothing can ex ceed his affection for his nieces, especially for Madame Denis ; but lie must have outraged her feelings severely to draw from her such a letter as she wrote in 1754. The same exaggeration that pervades his expressions towards others is observable in all that he writes himself, whe ther upon the sufferings of his mind, or those, somewhat mire real, of his body. He had, unhappily, a feeble con stitution, and having taken little care of it in early life, he was a confirmed invalid for the rest of bis days ; but especially between forty and sixty. He suffered from both bladder complaints and those of the ali mentary canal ; and his surgical maladies, besides the pain and irritation which they directly occasioned, gave him all the sufferings and inconveniences of a bad digestion. There was, therefore, a sufficient foundation for frequent recourse to the state of his health. But he writes as if he was not merely in constant danger: be is generally at the point of death, and it is observable, that the more deeply he is engaged in any vexatious dispute, and the more he has, or thinks he has, occasion to com plain of maltreatment, the more regularly and the more vehemently does he describe his alarming, nay, his dying condition. In such circumstances it is a figure never wanting to round a period, or to fill up the measure of his own wrongs and bis adversary's oppressions. It is singular that a man of his genius, one especially who had so well studied the human heart, and painted so strik ingly the dignity of our nature, should invariably, and even with the least worthy antagonist, prefer being plaintive to being powerful, and rather delight in being the object of compassion than of terror.—Lord Brougham's Lives of Men of Letters. lushes Grave." It is not figurative, or coloured ; but a I ictly true echo of his sentiments:— MY GRAVE. BY THOMAS DAVIS. Shall they bury me in the deep, Where ipnd-forgetting waters sleep? Shall they dig a grave for me, Under the green-wood tree? Or on the wild heath, Where the wilder breath Of the storm doth blow Oh, no ! ob, no! Shall they bury me in the Palace Tombs, Or under the shade of Cathedral domes? Sweet 'twere to lie on Italy's shore; Yet not there—nor in Greece, though I love it more . In the wolf or the vulture my grave shall I find ! Shall my ashes career on the world seeing wind? Shall they fling my corpse in the battle mound, Where coffinless thousands lie under the ground ? Just as they fall they are buried so— Oh, no! oh, no! No ! on an Irish green hill-side, On an opening lawn—but not too wide : For I love the dip of the wetted trees— I love not the gales, but a gentle breeze, To freshen the turf—put no tombstone there, But green sods deck'd with daisies fair, Nor sods too deep ; but so thtit the dew, The matted grass-roots may trickle through. Be my epitaph writ on my country's mind, " He serv'd his country, and lov'd his kind." Oh ! 'twere sweet unto the grave to go, If one were sure to be buried so. MEXICO and the UNITED STATES. (From the Journal des Debats.) The United States deserve applause for the prosperity they have gained, and good wishes for its prolongation. They form a great nation which cultivates most admirably the soil on which it is planted by Providence, and has opened vast fields to civilisation, but the domain allotted to them is quite sufficient to satisfy any ambitious and enterprising people. It is ten times the extent of our France, which nevertheless is a very fine empire. All the acquisitions required to consoli date them, and make them masters of their own possessions they have alreeady won by force or negotiation. They have the Valley of the Mississippi and Floridas, and all that origi nally belonged to the Indians. What more have they needof ? Have not their twenty millions of people sufficient room in their vast territories? If the United States knew their own interest, they would be contended with what they havei-The civilised world cannot view with indifference their aggran disement on the Mexican side, for every inch of ground they gain in that direction is so much given up to the infamous institution of slavery. For the political balance of the world the conquest of Mexico by the United States may create eventual dangers, which, though distant, it will not be super fluous to guard against. Europe, therefore, watches with care a great empire which oceupies in the east and in the north an immense surface covered with a population of sixty-two millions, double that of France andthat of Austria, and quadruple that of Prussia, and cannot help being fillet with the contemplation of another colossus which may occupy the whole space of the isthmus of Panama from the mouths of the St. Lawrence to the Columbia River in the Oregon, thus acquiring the disposal of the most productive cultivable lands and the richest mines of the earth, and ex tremely redoubtable at sea. Between the autocracy of Russia on the east, and the democracy of America thus aggrandised on the west, Europe may find herself more compressed than she may one day think consistent with her independence and dignity. It is not for the interest of Europe that the entirety of America should be in one hand, nor do we think America herself wishes it. Well, then ! The conquest of Mexico would be a wide step towards the enslavement of the world by the United States, and that a levy of bucklers by the Mexicans at this moment would lead the way to this subjection. There is, therefore, good reason why the public mind should be turned with attention towards what is now passing on the other side of the Atlantic. SOCIETY FOR TAR PROMOTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE GROWTH OF FLAX IN InaLexn.—The usual monthly committee meeting of this society was held in the Commer cial Buildings, Belfast, on the 10th inst., W. S. Crawford, in the chair. The treasurer's report showed some addition to the funds since last meeting; and the secretary was or dered to call in the subsidies of the branches and farming societies, which had qualified for agriculturists. The greater number of agriculturists still continued to be occupied in several districts, and the late fine weather had been very favourable for their operations. Several samples of the new c rop of flax were shown, and app eare d to be of good quality. Some parcels, grown in the county Louth, were laid on the table, being specimens of the first grown in that district; and their appearance gave much satisfaction, and promised well for the future prosecution of flax culture in that county. Some specimens of Longford flax were also shown ; but hav ing been prepared on the old system, too soon pulled, not half steeped, and fire dried, they were very inferior, though the flax would have been very good had it been handled better. The agriculturist in charge of the districts in the County of Cork, which had been qualified for his instruc tions, had gone to Skibbereen and Clonakilty, to report on the management of flax in those localities. A considerable quantity Is there grown, small patches, but managed in a wretchednei way. The attention, ho wever , o f some gentlemen in the ghbourhood is now directed to the subject, and they are endeavouring to set on foot the increased cultivation of the plant on an improved system, with a view to revive the manufacture of coarse linens. The secretary stated that he bad made arrangements to attend the Royal Agricultural So ciety's meetings at Ballinasloe, and through the instrumen tality of the members of the Flax Society, who would be there present, to call attention to the Society's views. The meeting then separated. CHURCH BUILDING ACTS. —A question is likely to arise of some difficulty respecting the appointment of church wardens under the Act of last session (8 and 9 Vic , c. 7 9), entitled "An Act for the further amendment of the . Church Building Acts. By the seventh section it is provided that two persons shall be annually appointed churchwardens for any new church (without a district) already built, or here after to bo bt!ilt ; the first appointments of such persons to take place within two calendar months after the passing of the Act (31st July last), with respect to a church already built and consecrated, and within two months after the con secration of a church to be hereafter built. One of the church wardens is to be appointed by the minister of the church and tho other by the renters of pews therei n on l y the majority at any meeting to be summoned. Where there are no rented pews, the minister is authorised to appoint both. The ques tion is whether the election is to be confined to renters of whole pews, or whether those who merely rent seats are to be included. There is no interpretation clause in the Act. THE FISHERIES.—ST. IVES.—NO pilchards have been seen from the hills during the week. Mackerel are very plentiful on the coast, but the weather has prevented the boats from driving, Two boats went out on Tuesday night, and caught about 2,000 each, which were sold at 12s. per 120. West Briton. CHEAP LAW.—At the recent sessions held at Wakefield a person was indicted for stealing two hen eggs, and beinf convicted, was imprisoned a month. The expenses of this trial, paid out of the county rates, was seven pounds three shillings over and above the charges for apprehension, depositions, &c., before trial—so goes the county money in cheap law and justice at every man's door.—. Leeds Times. SINGULAR TEA PARTY.—On Monday, Mr. Richard Jennison, landlord of the Horse Shoe Inn, Bulwell, gave a tea party to a number of females, whose ages were above 60. The old ladies were fetched from their respective homes in a fly, engaged, with laudable consideration, by their worthy benefactor for that purpose. At five o'clock tea was served to 42 persons, whose united ages amounted to 2,746 years; and the scene, which will long be remembered, was one that created much excitement in the village. Amongst those present were Jenny Burton, aged 95; Nelly Wain, 92; and Jane Key; 71; the last of those, the wife of Robert Key, a pensioner, was present at the taking of Copenhagen, in 1807, and in Sir John Moore's retreat from Sahagun to Corrunna, two years afterwards. Tea being over, the Rev. S. Rogers, with a party of gentlemen and ladies, entered the room, and were received with great respect; a young gentleman present presented those who smoked with an ounce of tobacco, and the rest with a shilling each in money. Ale was then handed round, and the ancient matrons drank the healths of the vi sitors and their worthy host and hostess, with every demon stration of delight and gratitude for the kindness which had been shown them. The fly then began to carry them home; and in a short time the party was broken up. Mr. Jennison's conduct upon the occasion was most praiseworthy; he has certainly followed the apostolic direction touching the invi tation of guests, and his example is worthy of imitation...—. Nottingham Paper. Extract of a letter from Milan, Sept. 15 :—"A circumstance has lately occured in this: city which has ex cited much curiosity and interest; owing to the peculiarity of some of the causes which have led to so unfortunate an exposé. The parties are moving in the higher circles of so ciety, and are well known both at Florence and Nice. The facts, as far as we have been able to learn them, are these:— It appears that, for a considerable time, Colonel A— and his wife have lived most unhappily together, notwithstanding the fact that they were married at Gretna Green thirty years ago, and have a family of eighteen children ; they deter mined to separate, but could not agree on any arrangement respecting the children, the colonel insisting they should all remain with him, to which Mrs. A. wou ld not consent. Matters were in iis state when the lady (who is in delicate health) went with the colonel's permission to the Baths of Acqui, taking with her two children, and from thence she pro ceeded (without the kn ow l e d ge of her husband) to Milan, having her passport signed for England. The colonel, being apprised of the movement, started off in pursuit of his runa way lady, and hearing she was still at Milan, made a formal application to the Austrian Government to have her arrested, and sent back to Genoa where he th en was. His request was immediately complied with, notwithstanding the strong objections urged on the part of the lady, and her absolute refusal to quit Milan. The police were inexorable, having politely informed her that when a woman was once married her proper place was with her husband, and that if she did not quietly set out the next day, she would be escorted to the frontier by the gendarmerie ; this hint was sufficient, and the colonel had the pleasure of receiving his wife and children mare and sound, tn-o days after at Genoa. The lady is sister to the mother of a Radical Cornish Baronet, who is now a candidate for a seat in Parliament. She was for merly well known as a celebrated beauty both at Bath and at Cheltenham." SINGULAR DEATH.—A considerable degree of ex citement has been occasioned in Yarmouth, by the death of a man named Purdy, on Sunday week, under circumstances which may be justly deemed remarkable. He was about 75 years of age, and had for several days prior to his decease been suffering from pleurisy and inflammation of the lungs. Mr. R. R. B. Norman, the surgeon, who had been called in to visit him, considered it a hopeless case, and prepared the family to expect a fatal result. On Saturday night Purdy's wife, who was sitting u p w ith hi m , f e ll asleep from fatigue; and during her sleep the poor man, in a state of delirium, got up, left the house with only his bed-dress on, and imagining his donkey had got loose, was feeling about the shutters of a neighbouring house for his stable, when he was perceived by the female occupant of the dwelling, who, started by the sight of an object so apparelled, gave an alarm. Henry Royal went to her assistance, and taking the midnight wan derer for the redoubtable street disturber known to the public by the appellation of "Spring-heeled Jack," proceeded to inflict summary punishment upon him, and beat him vio lently about the face. Th e ne i g hb ours went to his assist ance, r and recognising the poor fugitive in his delirious state, conveyed him to his own house, where he died on the following day. An inquest was held on Monday evening, bef ire Mr. W. S. Ferrier, coroner, and an intelligent and re spectable jury. Several witnesses were examined, amongst whom were &inn Woodthorpe, the woman with whom Royal lived, Elizabeth Brindley, and John Ingram, all of whom deposed to the violent conduct of Royal to the delirious man, and some of them imputed to him a knowledge of the victim of his unprovoked attack; alleging further his declaration, that he "did not care about killing him." Blood was upon the forehead of the deceased when he was taken home. and the indications of delirium could not be mistaken. The evi dence of Mr. Norman and Mr. Costerton, who conducted the post-mortem examination, went to prove that the injuries in the face and over the right eye-brow were in all probability inflicted by a man's hand or knuckles ; but they did not con sider them as the cause of death, which was the result of in ternal disease. They could not even say that it was acce lerated by the treatment he had received. The jury, after ten minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict ascribing death to natural causes. Purdy was in 1812 engaged in the Duke of York's memorable expedition into Holland.— Suffolk Chronicle. ••: 1 • TITESDA EVENING; SEPTEMBER so, 1845 ENGLISH AND GERMAN TASTES COMPARED. The occupations and amusements of the upper classes in Germany being much more sedentary and refined than with us, consisting much more in music, reading, theatrical entertainment, conversation, visiting, and social enjoyment, and much less in hunting, shooting, riding, racing, boating, and all the active rough sports and tastes which occupy our young men of the higher classes, and bring them into daily familiar intercourse with the lower, as assistants and partakers in their common pursuit, keep those classes in Germany much more apart from, and ignorant of; each other than they are in England. The son of a nobleman or country gentleman of the largest fortune and highest family in England is intel lectually, and in his tastes and habitual enjoyments not very different, or rather, is very much the same as the son of a farmer, or of a man of the lower class. The difference is more in the means and scale of enjoyment than in the tastes of the two persons at the extreme ends of our social body. They have many objects, pursuits, feelings, occupations, sports in com mon, and bringing them together. These are, perhaps, low in tase, and denote a low standard of intent - cam' de velopment among our higher classes ; but they bring the lower up to that standard, establish a wholesome inter course and exchange of ideas between them, for the lowest can understand and talk of horses, dogs, guns, or yachts, as well as the highest—and denotes a higher social state of the whole, than if the upper class were so far refined, and educated beyond the mass of the people below, as to be, p.s in Germany, a froth without spirit or flavour, swimming on the surface, and altogether dif ferent in substance from the good liquor at the bottom. The social state of Germany is similar to that of British India. The upper enlightened class, consisting of civil and militaryfunctionaries,lawyers, judges,and officers connect ed with the administration oflaw andcollection of revenue, bankers, merchants, and professional men, is different in language, habits, ideas, and feelings, from the Hindoo people whom it governs ; is little acquainted with them —does not mix with them—has little knowledge of them but what circumstances may force upon its notice. yet governs them tolerably well, and the great mass of the inert Indian population below it is submissive; and contented with the state of pupilage in which they exist. To this great mass of the . people in Germany, the opinions, political or religious, of the upper class, scarcely penetrate. They do not at all take up the Ger man Catholic Church. On the contrary, they are evi dently in the same intellectual and .religious condition in which they were four centuries ago—quite as ready for pilgrimages or crusades, or whatever superstition or belief the Church of Rome may impose on them. They. arc not ripe for this movement.—Laing's Naes. AGRICULTURAL MEETINGS. NORTH DERBYSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. CHESTERFIELD, SEPT. 24.—0 n Wednesday the twenty seventh annual meeting of the above Society was held at the Angel Inn, Chesterfield, on which occasion about 1504 was offered in different premiums for prize stock, the property. of members of the Society. Premiums were also awarded for the best implements of husbandry, as well as for the encou ragement of good servants, for the greatest quantity of effi cient under-draining, and also for the best cultivated farms. About half-past eleven o'clock, his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Morpeth, the Hon. John Talbot, and William Paxton, Esq., arrived from Chatsworth in a carriage and four, and immediately proceeded to the show-yard, where his Grace and his noble visitor were received by the President of the Society, Win. Evans, Esq., M.P. for North Derbyshire, and J. J. Cottingham, Es . q., the Mayor of Ches terfield. The show• yard at this period was much crowded, among whom we noticed the following noblemen and gentle men :—His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Morpeth, W. Evans, Esq., M.P., Hon. John Talbot, Major Bilbre, R. N. Arkwright, Esq., the Mayor of Chesterfield, Philip Heacock, Esq., W. J. Bagshawe, Esq., one of our county magistrates, J. B. Crompton, Esq., Charles Woraley, Esq., and several otherjgentlemen, whose names we were not familiar with. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire remained on the ground for a considerable period, and afterwards proceeded to Chatsworth, accompanied by Lord Morpeth and the Hon. J. Talbot. The dinner took place at the Angel Inn, but which, we re gret to state, was not so well attended as on former occasions. W. Evans, Esq., M.P., the President of the Society,took the chair. The Duke of Noßrom—Yes ; he thought that was quite right, and he thought it right, also, that the premiums should not be given to men who went about with drills, but that the farmers who had drills should employ their own men to do it. Every master who wished that his men should become scientific in their vocations should have a drill of his own, and let his men drill, and perhaps that would be the means of bringing the drill system more into fashion than what it already was. [Some twenty or thirty labourers, to whom prizes had been awarded, were here introduced into the room, and they stood in a line along the length of the room.] The Duke of NORFOLK then addressed the labourers on the subject of the disease in potatoes, recommending them to pick out the bad ones and salt the remainder, and put them away till after Christmas, looking at them every fort night to pick out the bad ones. To enable them to keep the potatoes he proposed to sell them turnips, and he recom mended his tenants to do the same. An acre of turnips, yielding 320 bushels, at 4d. per bushel, would be Si. 6s. Bd., and an acre of Swedes, also yielding 320 bushels at 6d.. would be 8/., so that the farmers could sell at that price without loss. It had been stated that these bad potatoes poisoned the pigs. Now, he wanted to try that, and he put up two pigs. One he fed upon as bad potatoes as he could find, raw, and the other upon as bad, but they were cooked. They had this food ten days. The one that had the potatoes raw was affected in his bowels, but he got over it, and then he thought piggy should have some better food, and he gave him some barley meal. The other that had his potatoes steamed ailed nothing. The prizes for long servitude, and to the best plougman, were then distributed ; and also prizes for the beat sheep. Lord EDWARD HOWARD proposed "The health of Sir H. Dent Goring." Sir H. D. GORING acknowledged the compliment, and said he was sorry to find that the premium of 50/., to which he contributed, for the best cultivated farm, had not more com petitors. Several other toasts were drunk, after which the Noble President left the chair, and the principal part of the com pany departed. GRAND DINNER AT WALTHAM AGRICULTURAL SHOW. On Friday last a grand dinner took place at Waltham, on occasion of the annual exhibition of stock and implements of the Waltham Agricultural Association, of which his Grace the Duke of Rutland is the president. The show of stock and implements was very good; but for so large an agricul tural district, was not equal to the expectation of many of the visitors. The dinner was presided over by the Duke of Rutland, who, in the course of one of his speeches, said that when the land produced as much corn as was required for home consump tion he would give up the corn-laws. --- NORFOLK AGRICULTURAL REPORT. Hitherto the harvesting of grain bas proceeded with all due expedition, and three weeks of uninterrupted weather have done muck towards securing the crops in admirable con dition, although a small portion of the wheat crop is still in the fields, together with a somewhat considerable quantity of barley. The former may be said to have been well got in, since the only exception is that which has arisen from the impetuosity of the farmers themselves in not allowng the first cut wheats to remain in the fields a sufficient time to dis charge the sap and harden the grain before they were car ried to the rick, the consequence of which was that the bulk became heated sufficiently to injure the sample. With respect to the latter, the weather at this moment appears to be threatening and inauspicious, nevertheless it must be admitted that a moderate quantity of rain would be of infinite service toward facili tating the separation of the corn from the straw, if not in improving the sample also. The prevelant opinion appears to be that the barley crop is defective in qua lity, and upon some of the lusty lands in the eastern division of the county, in quantity also. Turnips have suffered very materially from the want of moisture; and on all but lands of the very first-rate qualities the plants exhibit a very un promising appearance; in short, the bulk of the whole crop may now be estimated at one-third less than an average produce. The plant of mangel wurzel is more perfect and unfailing. Since the introduction of potatoes into England (1650), no instance stands upon record of their having been attacked by a disease similar to that which is now prevalent. It appears evident that the roots cannot be preserved for any length of time, and it may be questionable if a sufficient number can be saved for the purpose of seeding the land at the forthcoming spring ; the growers seem desirous of making them available fur present purposes, as cattle food.—Norfolk Chronicle. GAMBLING in the BENGAL ARMY. There is a degree of vigour apparent just row in all that relates to the administration of army matters which convinces us that the walfare of the service is really an object both with the Governor-General and the Com mander-in-Chief. Certainly no period of the existence of the Indian army has been marked by so many con siderate and beneficial orders, emanating from the head quarters both of Government and the army, as the last six or eight months. - We are led to these remarks from the appearance of an order by the Commander-in-Chief on the subject of gambling in the army. An order on this subject, or rather a revival of previously existing ones, has long been called for—gambling having, as we are assured, of late years, increased to an unprecedented extent in the army of this presidency. In saying this, we do not allude so much to the kind of gambling which seems to have attracttd the attention of the Commander-in- Chief ; the case which has come before him, and caused the issue of the present order, is evidently one of a very flagrant kind, in which some senior officer has taken advantage of the inexperience of a youngster to fleece him of a considerable patrimony, bequeathed him a short time before. Instances of this kind are, happily, most rare in the service, both from the detestation in which such conduct is held by all honourable men like the officers of the army, and because the youngsters of the present day are, generally speaking, a great deal too knowing to risk at play anything they may possess in the way of " patrimony"—a blessing which falls to the lot of but few of the officers of the Indian army. It is a well-known fact that the race of military "griffins"—of the absurdities of which class so many ludicrous anec dotes are current—has long been extinct: the young men who come out now-a-days are, generally, found to be far more au fait at the ways of the world than the older residents in the country. The gambling which we hope the present order may repress is what goes on to such an extent amongst young m. n of pretty nearly the same age, standing, and skill in play. Their equality in these points forbids the likeli hood of there being anything like unfair play amongst them ; but still, even in its mildest forms, gambling is productive of much harm. We sincerely hope. that commanding officers of corps and stations will use their best endeavours to give effect to the Commander-in Chief's excellent intentions in issu ing this order. They may rest assured that the gambler, whatever be his rank, is never a good officer. Of all the habits that unfit an officer for the due performance of his duty, gambling is, perhaps, the worst, not even excepting drinking. It is quite impossible that the man who ac customs himself to the excitement of gambling can ever take pleasure in, or even tolerate, the ordinary routine o duty.—Hurkaru, July 17. THE PIG NUISANCE at WAPPING. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On Friday, between five and six o'clock in the after nocn, a scene of the most disgusting description took place nearly adjoining the old Thames Police-office, op posite the new wharf recently erected in the neighbour. hood of Wapping. Some of the pigs which were brought up for the London market nearly smothered, were ac tually slaughtered in the open streets, the blood stream ing down the gutters. The street in this part is exceed ingly narrow, and the disturbances pericdically taking place here, has (ever since the erection of this wharf) been infamous enough ; but such scenes of disgusting brutality ought most assuredly to be put down. If the Commissioners for the Metropolitan Improvements can not assist the inhabitants of this district in widening the street, surely the Police Commissioners should direct some of the force to this nuisance so polluting to chil dren and passengers using this neighbourhood. The police would be thus much better employed than making charges against little apple boys at police courts, whilst the county rate would be saddled with no additional costs. A paragraph in your paper some time since abated the nuisance for some time, but the abomination is now grown worse than ever. DUTCH MAIL. NEMINGUEN, SEPr. 23.—The extraordinary supply of pro.. visions of difierent kinds at Yesterday's market excited great attention, and most speedily caused a reduction in the price of corn and potatoes.- The extreme fears for the approaching winter are allayed, and we expect that the price of bread and potatoes must fall. The supply was so very great, that be sides the ordinary large market-places, two very long streets were so crowded with l oa d ed carts, that passengers could scarcely pass. BlimiltustunG, SEPT. 22.—A deputation, consisting of the burgomaster and other official persons of Ruremonde and Eindhoven, arrived here on Saturday; their mission seems to relate to the railway from Zealand through North Brabant and the Duchy of Limberg. We can positivelystate that they had a long conference with the per,.on to whom the con struction of this railway is confided. DELFT, SEPT. 23.-1 esterday we had disorders here like towns of the Hague. Every pre cautiongistrates to prevent any further HaAnutx, SEPT. 24.—The magistrates yesterday issued a proclamation, in consequence of the disorders and excesses d th is o o s r e d t is th tak e n en eig b h y b t o h u e rin m g a which took place on the 22d. Every precaution has been taken, and the public tranquillity has not been further inter rupted. lAGUE, SEPT. 25.—We learn that his Majesty the King has been pleased already to pay the sum which he annually pays for the relief of the poor during the winter, declaring his intention to increase the sum in the sequel if it should be necessary, or by other means to relieve the distress of the poor. We hear that the King and the Prince of Orange have given orders not to purchase any stock of potatoes for their household this year. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSZIA SEPT. 2 4,—The Senate unanimously adopted to-day the five projects of law relating to the free importation of corn, &c., and for a vote of credit of 950,000 francs for com pleting the canal of the Campine. During the course of the discussion, the Minister of the In terior announced that all information whi c h h e d u l y rece i ved from the several provinces agree that, on the whole, the har vest is pretty satisfactory, and that in some parts of the coun try the crop of potatoes will not be so bad as was appre hended. ' The Minister of Public Works said that the Government were already taking measures to secure employment to the ' workmen, and added that in all probability the parties who were to contribute the several lines of railway through Har naut would commence the work during the winter. The Senate, affkr passing the five projects of law, adjourned indefinately. The Courier of Antwerp says, " We learn that the Govern ment has approved of the sale of the British Queen to M. Reynart for 238,000 francs. We are assured that the steamer is to be broken up, the purchaser hoping to indemnify himself by the sale of the iron and copper; the timber will be only fit for fire -wood. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 25 .—Monseignor Blanchet, apostolic vicar of the Oregon, who is travelling in Europe for the be nefit of his mission, iv now at Namur. The venerable prelate has just applied to the Sisters of Charity for some new im provement of their order. The King returned yesterday afternoon from his visit to the camp at Beverloo. The King transacted business to-day with the Ministers of the Interior and of Foreign Affairs. AUSTRlA. —Accounts from Venice announce that her Ma jesty the Queen of Greece had arrived in a French steamer in perfect health, and was received by her august father. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sari. 10.-1 have just learnt the final grant of a finnan for the erection of a Protestant church at Jerusalem, which Sir Stratford Canning has been endeavour.. ing for some years to obtain.—Aemeine Zetuny, Sept. 24. TUB REGISTRATION.—We have only space to state, that on Thursday evening, the Manchester Registration Courts were adjourned to this (Saturday) morning; that the lists of 18 townships are yet unfinished, which it is ex pected will be completed to-day; and that several impor tant decisions have been made by the barrister, since our last, as to the privity of the vendor, or of the vendor's at torney, of property being purchased to acquire votes, void mg such votes, upon which cases will be granted, for adjudi cation by the Court of Common Pleas. All these cases arise on the constructi on o f t h e S p li tt i ng A c t , an d su bj ect to the decision therein, th e resu l t , so f ar , o f t h e rev i s i on of this district, as we are i n f orme d , i s as f o ll ows :-547 joint quali fications (or "split votes") of free traders have been admitted, and 23 disallowed. A case of appeal has been granted to the Tories with respect to about 200 of the split qualifications which have been allowed, and the free traders have obtained a case upon the 23 which have been disallowed. Of other voters there have been struck out, on objections, 405 Conser vatives, and 81 free traders; leaving a balance of gain to the free traders of 324 votes.—Manchester Guardian. ARUNDEL AND BRAMBER. The annual exhibition of sheep and ploughing -match of this Association was held on Thursday last on Arundel Park Farm, and afterwards the members of the Association dined together at the Norfolk Anne, Arundel. The Duke of Norfolk presided • and amongst th e company were Lord E dward Howard , H. D. G or i ng , B ait., Thomas Evans, sq., the Rev. Mr. Hart, and several other clergymen. After the usual loyal toasts, Sir H. D. GORING, in an eulogistic speech, proposed "The Health of the Duke of Norfolk." The toast was drunk with cheers. The Duke of NontroLx returned thanks. He was aware, and he thought it proper to state it, and he stated it fear lessly, that since he had come into possession of this property he brought forward rules, and desired his tenantry to improve their farms in certain ways. He asked of no one more than was asked of the tenants of other great estates, and he should require it of them. He prided himself on those farms where there was a neat hedge-row. If they went into Norfolk and Suffolk they saw every farm had neat hedge-rows, but that was completely neglected in this part of the country. He was sure that any tenant of his, or of any other person, if they had been recommended to keep up their fences would have done it, but now henna under the disagreeable necessity of begging them to do it. Indeed it was a disg race to them all, to them and to hi m , an d t h ose who lookd after them, that the fences were not in a very good condition. He had been something of a farmer all his life, and he was rain enough to suppose that he knew a little about farming, and it gave him the greatest pleasure, when he rode over a man's farm and saw that he really cultivated it as he ought to do, and kept his fences neat. He was aware that times had not been so good for farmers for the last two or three years, but they were now looking up. They would remem ber that this time last year he proposed a premium of 50/. to the farmer who employed the greatest number of labourers. That he did, that they might have a greater number of labourers employed, and then he proposed another for the best cultivated farm, and several of his friends were kind enough to make up the sum ofsol. for that a l so . H e would now read the award o f the ju dges, Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Boxal. [His Grace then read the award which adjudged the prize- for the best cultivated farm to Mr. Robert Drewitt, of Peppering, and the judges recommended that the prize for employing the greatest number of farm labourers should be divided between Mr. Drewitt and Mr. George Bushby. For the first-mentioned premium there were only two can didates, and for the latter three or four.] He did not very often see Mr. Drewitt's farm, and he was not capable of saying how his men drilled, but he was capable of say ing how the men drilled generally in this county. Instead of its being what it was in Cambridgeshire and Lincoln shire, where the great farms were, and where the corn, when it came up, looked as if it were ruled, here it was in festoons. He proposed to give the prizes to the best drillers, and he thought they should be put with the ploughman. Their first prize for the ploughmen was 21. 108., and for the second 21., and he proposed that for drilling it should be the same. He suggested that the judges should view the crops in April, when the barley was up and the corn not too high, as he thought it fair that they should take the autumn and spring sowing into consideration. The other premiums that he proposed to give were for thatching and rick-making. He did not know how the rick-making was done, but his was shockingly ill. This was done in the Rape of Bramber ever since the Association was established, and there the rick -making and thatching was done much better. He did not wish to offend anybody, but in this part of the country the ricks were ill-built and ill-thatched. And as this rick prize in Bramber had done so much good, he trusted that their men were equally well inclined, and that they would have as good rick making and thatching here as there. Within the last few weeks, while the ricks had been making, the farmers had been put to great inconvenience by men who could thatch giving themselves great airs, and asking for more money, or going to others. Now that would cease as soon as they got more thatchers ; therefore, he pro posed to give four premiums, two for thatching and two far rick - making, the same as in the Rape of Bramber. There would be 21. far the best wheat rick, and for the second, 1/. ; and, also, for the best thatcher, 2/. ; and the s econ d premium 1/. Th a t th ey cou ld settle in ommittee. Sir H. D. GORING suggested that the premiums should be confined to the labourers on the farms. After the cloth was drawn, the Chairman in succession an nounced the usual loyal toasts, which were most enthusi astically responded to. W. Evales, Esq., M.P., now said that he would come to the business of the evening, and the next toast which he would propose would be " Success to the North Derbyshire Agricultural Society." The Hon. Member commenced his speech by complimenting the Society for the zeal it bad show in the improvement of agriculture, and he was glad to say that such societies as the present effected a vast deal of good. There was a great deal of room for improvement, not only in this division of the county, but in all parts of Derby shire. The farming operations were carried on differently in other parts of the country, where farming was made more of a science, particularly in Northumberland and Scotland. The farmers there generally made it a science; they at tended lectures, and no one thought of taking a farm who had not attended to the study of agriculture for at least two years. There were two ingredients which the farmers in the north invariably combined, namely, science and capital, with out which they felt that agricultural pursuits could not be successfully carried on. After alluding to the management of farms in the Highlands of Scotland, the Hon. Member said that the agriculturists of Derbyshire were worse plough farmers than they were grass farmers. Mr. Evans then in strong terms recommended a trial of the prudent adoption of the new plans of farming, which he said had been introduced with undoubted eucccss.—(Cheers.) The Chairman next announced " The health of the judges of the day, W. Inett, Esq., of Barnley Moor, an d M r . N ew h am. " W. INErr, Esq., returned thanks. He observed that he regretted to find the worthy President of this Society seemed to throw cold water on the members of the North. Derby shire Society. If they were bad farmers, and not good ones, he would say that their "poverty, an d no t th e i r will, con sented." He thought that for this, in a gi eat many in stances, the landlords themselves were to blame, and he would just mention a few instances. And first, as to the game-laws, in this county th e t enan t s were overrun with game, an d considered the preservation of game as a great injury to the tenant-farmer. The landlords had no excuse for keeping or preserving game ; they could not say like the farmers that their poverty consented, but they must rather say that their will and not their poverty consented. The system of preserving game entailed not only an injury on the farmer, but misery to the poor and expense to the country, and carried with it annihilation, distress, and misery to the labourer ; and while their families are ruined by poaching, the burden of keeping them during their one or two months' confinement in the county gaol is entailed upon the country. This was an evil to the farmer, and loudly called fur redress. He would also mention, as another injury by which the farmer severely , suffered from his landlord, the system of hedge-row timber, which prevended a free current and cir gulation of the sun and air. This system of occupying so much hedge-room for timber was highly injurious. Another great objection was, that the landlord objected to plough up bad grass land. He might allude to many other circum stances, and particularly to that of draining. The farm ought to be thoroughly drained by the landlord, who might charge a reasonable per tentage for the outlay of his capital, for a landlord cannot invest his capital in a better manner than improving his land. If the landlords in general would only lay out their capital in improving their lands, and charge the tenant fair interest for the outlay of his money, he would find it more beneficial than purchasing new land. The CHAIRMAN announced " The health of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, :the Lord-Lieutenant of the county," and thanks to him for his liberal support of the North Der byshire Agricultural Society. All who were acquainted with the Noble Duke must esteem him for his kindness, liberality, and goodness of heart. The toast was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and drank with three times three. PHILIP HEACOCK, Esq., proposed " The health o f th e Pre sident of the Society, W. Evans, Esq., M.P.," who had tra velled all the way from the Highlands of Scotland in order to be present on this occasion. W. EvArts, Esq., M.P., acknowledged the compliment. He confessed he was not so well versed in the science of agricul ture as he ought to be. Indeed the only meetings which he had attended were those of the Royal Agricultural So ciety, he being one of the committee, and he had endea voured to see that all things were done in proper order. One of the preceding speakers seemed to think that he had delivered some sentiments discouraging to the farmers of North Derbyshire. Now, on the contrary, he wished to do all in his power to encourage them, and what he wanted to see was, they should set about mending their faults. He was of opinion that they wanted a greater spirit of competition among them, in order to become good practical agriculturists, and that they should thoroughly understand the treatment of land. Now if a manufacturer heard that any new invention or pattern had been brought out, or that any im provement had taken place in machinery, he would not rest d m in u s f t infuse explode someplod e th e new satisfied until he h a d o bt a i ne d i t, or that he had found out f p pl the ied tod schoolior They e the principle of th e i mprovement; and why should not the improvementh e'n. doctrines same o a blood by entering int o a agriculture? vi altoge t her, competi tion, which he trusted would be the opening of brighter proapecta. The Hon. Gentlemen then dwelt at some length on the importance of landlords laying out their money in the improvement of their own estates, which he hoped might yet be very generally adopted. Mr. Evans next alluded to the custom, or law, between landlord and tenant, relative to the compensation of taking and leaving farms. In some instances the custom of the country pre vailed, but he thought that it would be more satisfactory to obtain one uniform system, which should prevail in every part of the kingdom; and he believed there was a Bill now before Parliament to effect so desirable an object, and he was cer tain it would shortly become the law of the land. He wished to see greater improvements take place in agriculture. If we were to go back for a few years, and see what the state of society was then, compared to its pre sen t s t ate, who could contemplate the vast improvements which had taken place in large towns? Who would have dreamed some years ago of having our streets lighted with gas, or of travelling by steam or railways, which now intersect all parts of the em pire? He really believed that at the period to which he al luded, such undertakings would have been deemed an impos sibility—it would have been called a paradox—and yet we know not what wonderful alterations and improvements may still be effected. All classes of people are now making new experiments, so that this may with propriety be called the age of invention. The Hon. Gentleman then strongly re commended the attendance on chemical lectures relative to agriculture, which he was certain would effect great good, and he also thought great benefit might be derived from the establishment of farmers' clubs. After a few more general observations relative to the farming interest, the Hon. Gen • tleman sat down amidst great cheering.

FORTIFICATIONS.—The company of Artillery sta tioned here are employed in placing guns of heavy calibre on the several batteries commanding the entrance to the har bour. The works on Staddon and Maker Heights are being forwarded with rapidity; notice has been served on the lessees of Long Room, that the Ordnance Board intend taking re possession, and a strong fort is to be erected, the guns from which will command the channel between the island and the Main. The canteen, &c., at Drake's Island, is to be taken down, and a barrack capable of accommodating a consider able military force erected on its site. Extensive barracks are also to be built is connexion with the fortifications on Staddon Heights. —Devonport Telegraph. NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERY. The Banchory, Mowatt, master, arrived here, from the cod fishery, on Fri day, the 19th instant, with a cargo of 25,000 fish. We understand she would have been a full ship, had it not been for the interference of the Danish fishermen, who have a settlement close to Newfoundland. It is to be hoped that Government will put a stop to this intru sion, and compel the Danes, as they do the French, to keep within their own limits. This branch of trade promises to be a lucrative One to enterprising adventurers from our north ern ports, and a little more vigilance on the part of the cruiser on the banks is advisable in every respect..--Iberdeen Herald.

The following sketch of the treatment of slaves in Brazil is given in a recent communication from Rio:— The continuance of the slave trade in Brazil, which no appeal on the part of England has hitherto been strong enough to prevent, increases the evils of that inhuman traffic to a frightful extent. The facility of obtaining new slaves renders the slave-owners careless and cruel to those in their possession. In the absence of moral feeling, and without the least dread of public justice, human life is trifled with in a manner dreadful to relate. Not long since a Brazilian slave-owner beat a slave so unmercifully that the poor wretch died upon the spot. He was forthwith buried in the garden where the murder was committed, and the affair passed off as a matter of course. Similar murders are of constant occurrence. The law affords the slave no certain protection. The slave market at Rio is in the Rua de Vallonges where the retail (hullers keep shops, and deal out human beings to their customers with as much insensibility and sang froid as they would British goods. No one who has suffered pain of witnessing it can forget the scene. To describe it, and read of it, would be heart-sickening. Negro amelioration is not a subject, as may be supposed, which has en gaged the attention of the Government or individuals of Brazil ; yet it is fair to state that they teach their slaves to say a prayer or two, and confess occasionally to a priest. On plantations prayers are generally repeated in public before they commence their labours at sunrise, and when they retire at sunset. All the happiness of these poor unfortunate creatures is founded upon igno rance and deby g radin g insensibility. Unlimited authori is possessed masters over their slaves , and their con ty dition is better or worse, according to the temper or dis position of individuals., The interest of the master in the services of his slave is almost the only hold which he has upon him for good usage. The general subject of slavery has of late been so often viewed under all its bearings, usgue ad nauseum, that reconsideration seems quite unnecessary ; and it is a lamentable fact that since the colonisation of Brazil by the Portuguese, slavery has been maintained with incessant activity. The Spaniards in South America, in the establishment of their independence, did not suffer negro slavery to con tinue. In that respect they have shown themselves supe rior to the Government and public characters in Brazil. DISEASED POTATOES.—Amongst the potatoes in. troduced into the London markets, a great proportion have proved to be affected by the prevalent disease. The roots so attacked give out no peculiar appearance to the eye b 7 which the presence of disease may be indicated, but in boiling it is at once perceptible from the dark mass which they present in the interior. The deal ers are aware of this, and in many of the poorer districts of the metropolis potatoes were sold on Saturday at 41b. and 61b. for 2d. Whatever may have bean the cause, it is certain that externally the disease indicates itself by a fungus or moss, producing a decomposition of the farinaceous interior. It therefore resembles, in many re• spects, the ergot attacking grain and grasses; which it was proved at the last meeting of the British Association at Cam bridge had greatly increased the last two or three years, being probably owing to the great additional increase of animal manures. It may be remarked, that in the Isle of Wight, where the disease has occurred in its most virulent form, we lately had the opportunity of observing in many in stances, that it was most prevalent in those crops which had been planted on wheat land which bad previously been manured with guano. The use of these diseased potatoes for domestic purposes cannot be too much condemned.—Medical Times.
