The Society brought together exhibitions of agri cultural skill, supported and advanced by science such as the world could not equal.—(Cheers.) They knew that the ex perience of a single district was limited, and they were too apt to suppose that what was the best in their district was the best which could be produced. Such exhibitions as they had lately seen tore away the veil from before their eyes. Al though a man might return a disappointed, he would not, he hoped, return a disheartened competitor, but would come back to the trial next year, supported and improved by the experience of the last.—(Cheers.) The condition of the la bourer had been an object of great solicitude with the So ciety, the aim of which was to induce him to look upon the enlightened farmer who kept the best cultivated land as his best friend.—(Hear, hear.) Although they often heard it stated that machinery was prejudicial to the labouring man, he did net think so.—(Hear.) The persons who availed them selves largely of machinery could often employ the greatest number of labourers, thus benefiting in the greatest degree themselves, their poor neighbours, and the country, by in creasing the general amount of human subsistence. It was difficult to calculate the great development of the re sources which might be effected by the progress of agricul ture. He must say that his hopes for the prospects of agri culture were much strengthened by the high moral character of those who were at the head of this Society, and with his heartiest wishes for its continued success, he begged leave to give the "Royal Agricultural Society of England." Earl SPENCER proposed the next toast, " The Foreigp Mi nisters present." He expressed his firm conviction tls4t the Society had been of the greatest benefit to England. They had all great reason to rejoice at its establishment, but they would not be so selfish as to confine its benefits to their own land, and they would be most glad to communicate what they knew to the farmers of other countries receiving in re turn the advantage of their varied knowledge and expe rience. —(Cheers.) He had always great satisfaction in re ceiving distinguished foreigners amongst them, and he hoped that they would return with some inforhation which tight be of advantage to them in their own countries.—(Hear, hear.) He had great pleasure in proposing the next toast, " The Foreign Ministers present, coupled with the name of their illustrious guest, Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Mi nister."—(Loud cheers.) The Chevalier BUNSEN returned thanks. It was five years ago, at the beginning of the career of this excellent Associa tion, when he was first honoured by an invitation to take part in its proceedings. He was then at Oxford. It was when he had first arrived in England, and before he held any official situation. He then said a few words to them, and the kindness - with which he was then received he should never forget.—(Hear.) He had watched with great interest the rise and progress of the Society. It was unnecessary for him to explain all the reasons why he considered that the pros perity of the State was intimately connected with the prospe rity of agriculture He thought so with respect to this country and to his own. There were many things which must strike a foreigner when he arrived in this great country, but he knew nothing more striking, in the history of the de velopment of its mind, than the yearly recurrence of scenes such as that which he now saw around him.—(Cheers.) That country must be pleased and happy for many years and ages which could boast of so many of its grE at legislators and statesmen who thought it not unworthy of them to conse crate their leisure hours and their experience to the improve ment of agriculture and the welfare and happiness of those who cultivated the soil— (Cheers)—a country in which the illustrious conqueror himself (Hear, hear, and cheers) — turned his sword into a ploughshare, and assisted in the peaceable pursuits of his countrymen. The history of their own conntry, and not less that of Prussia and Germany, proved that country life was the cradle of every civic virtue and military achievement, and the promo tion of agricplture ought to be amongst the first of the cares of a good and enlightened Government.—(Loud cheers.) Their Society furnished an excellent example to the rest of the world, and an example which in Prussia they were try ing to, follow as well as they could.—(Hear, hear.) In those countries of good old Saxon blood, they had all the same love of country life. They loved peace and domestic enjoy ment; and no person could better insure the one, and enjoy the other, •than the farmer. — (Hear, hear.) In every pro vince of Prussia they had societies modelled upon the plan of this ; they published agricultural journals connected with them, and laboured to bring into general use those improve ments, the nature of which were attested by experince.— (Hear, hear.) Perhaps they would allow him to tell them an anecdote of the King of Prussia, his Royal master, when upon his late visit to this country. 'When visiting the splen did establishment at Eton, and gazing from one of the old gothic windows upon the magnificent scene around him—the ancient structure in which _he stood—the fields and woods smiling around it, and the happy faces of the boys gazing up to his—looking at this union of old and new, he exclaimed, " Blessed is the country where the old is ever new, and where the new is ever entwined with the old."—(Loud cheering.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by returning thanks for the honour done him. The Earl of CHICHESTER then proposed the next toast, that of " The Agricultural Labourer," a toast which was drunk amidst loud cheering. The PRESIDENT next proposed " Prosperity to the High. land and Agricultural Society of Scotland, and the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Ireland." The Duke of LEINSTER, as President of the Irish Society, said a few words in acknowledgment. The PuEsinnvr then proposed the last toast—" The health of the Duke of Richmond, the President of next year." (The toast was received with the most marked enthusiasm, the company cheering as one man for sevaral minutes.) The President observed, that the character and conduct of the Noble Duke had always been such as to entitle him to their approbation. When the Society elected him as their pre sident for the next year, they made a choice which must have been approved of by every farmer ; and he had no doubt but that their president elect. would carry out the ob jects of the Society in the manner most conducive to its interests.(Loud cheers.) The Duke of RICHMOND, who was received with a perfect tumult of applause, acknowledged the toast, and assured the meeting of his deep gratitude for the reception which they had given to him. He would always be found at his post in the maintenance of the prosperity of agriculture, on the well being of which he conceived that all classes of his native land depended.—(Cheers.) He required nothing as a land owner from his tenants which as a farmer he would not be happy to pay.—(Cheers) The Noble Duke concluded by expressing his gratitude to the farmers of England for the manner in which they had uniformly received him, and his hopes that he would never do anything calculated to make them repent of the confidence which they had placed in him.—(Loud cheers.) The party broke up at nine o'clock. R OYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC NOVELTY.

From the statement of the prosecutor and others, it ap peared that the husband of the prisoner being in prison on some charge connected with the game-laws, left his wife and infant family in the occupation of his cottage in the deepest distress and want. In this state of things there was, as might be expected, great difficulty in her satisfying the rent due to the landlord, who found it necessary at length to put in a distress on the premises on the 10th of June, there being then 21.75. 6d. due. While the distress was in, the prisoner sent for the prosecutor, and told him she should not suffer her things to stir before her husband came out of prison. The prosecutor said he had now no control over the matter, and the law must take its course ; upon which she replied, " You d—d old rascal ; before you shall hare my things I will burn them in the middle of the room, and your d—d old house, too." In spite of this, the goods were sold on the 17th, with the exception of a few articles of wearing apparel. Though she afterwards asked the prosecutor to take as many of the things as would pay the rent, on the morning of the 25th the house was found to be in flames, the fire having originated evidently from the inside of the roof. An inquiry was set on foot, and the prisoner then denied having had any fire in the .house on the day in question; but she refused to show the officers where the fire had burst out. When before the ma gistrate, the ,prisoner made a statement to the effect that " as she was going into the union-house on the following day, she had, on the morning of the 25th, put an old mat tress into the oven to burn ;" but several witnesses deposed to the total absence of any marks of fire having been seen in the oven. In the course of the inquiry to-day, it appeared that though the goods seized realised 2/. 195., the prosecutor only received 18s. towards his rent, the great balance being all absorbed in the expense of the distress, a fact which seemed to excite great surprise on the mind of the Learned Judge. Mr. PALMER then addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, and called upon them to view the case with mercy and compassion, and contended that there was really no evi dence against his client but the declarations proved against her, which were rather to be considered as the offspring of anger than of any determined intention to commit the out rage imputed to her. The Learned JUDGE then briefly recapitulated the chief points in the case to the jury, who, he said, were not to be swayed, while inquiring into the truth, by those moving topics to which the Learned Counsel' had called their atten tion. If they saw any reasonable doubt of the prisoner's guilt on the evidence, they would give her the benefit of that doubt ; but i ithey did not, their duty was to find her guilty, and leave any circumstances of mitigation or com passion which might exist to the consideration of the proper tribunal. _ _ _ SPLENDID NEW FOUR-HORSE NIGHT COACH TO EDINBURGH.

HERBARY,HICILWATZ THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. MEETING AT SOUTHAMPTON. THE CATTLE SHOW. The yard was opened at a very early hour, about six o'clock, but there were very soon plenty of farmers hard at work scrutinising the animals, and plenty of material there was for their researches. No less than nineteen frames or tents, each 250 yards long, were appropriated for the recep tion of the animals. The frame to the extreme left was set apart for the horses. This portion of the show did not, how ever, offer very much attraction; the animals in general ap peared to be of mediocre quality, and did net, therefore, at tract much attention. There were, however, brilliant excep tions. One of these was a thorough-bred stallion, exhibited by the Duke of Richmond, and a more beautiful creature, in point of form and symmetry, could hardly be produced. The first prize of 30 sovereigns, for the best stallion for agricul tural purposes, was awarded to Mr. Catlin, of Bushy, Suf folk, who exhibited a magnificent animal ; and the second to the Earl of St. Germains. Mr. Catlin's horse was very gene rally admired. He has travelled 1,430 miles during the pre sent season. The Earl of St. Germains' horse was conveyed by steam from Plymouth. Among the other successful com petitors we may mention were the Right Hon. Mr. St. John, Mr. R. Curtis, and Mr. T. Glasspool, who exhibited very fine animals. Many of the horses shown were of large dimen sions. In the sth class we observed no leis than six tho rough-bred stallions. However, taking the horses all in all. the show was, as we have stated, rather poor. Next to the horses came the short-horned breed of cattle. The number exhibited was not, we understood, so numerous as that which has been shown on former occasions, but what was wanting in quantity was made up in quality. The first prize in the first class was carried off by Mr. John Cooper, of Bankwood, Thengeston, who exhibited an animal of gigantic proportions and great symmetry. It was conveyed upwards of two hundred miles by railway to the exhibition. Mr. Hayter, M.P., obtained the next prize for l i an 'nimal which was very generally and deservedly ad mire ; and the same may be said of an almost milk white bear from Lincolnshire, belonging to Mr. H. Maw. The Duke of Devonshire obtained a prize for the best heifer in calf in the fourth class, and the animal was generally highly approved of. Much attention was also bestowed upon a bull of the short. horned breed, bred by Mr. C. Turner, of Rooks, Godstone, which was of colossal dimensions. We may also mention a cow, bred by Mr. J. Booth, and another by Mr. Farrant, of Ibolton, Cheshire. The latter gentleman exhi bited an animal, which was greatly admired, and by many farmers thought equal to that which obtained the prize. The next neighbours of the short-horns were the Herefords. As in the case of the short-horns, although the numbers were not great, the quality was excellent. The principal prizes were awarded to Mr. William Perry, of Monkland, Leomin ster, and Mr. G. Brown, of Avebury Wells. The number of Devons exhibited was small. A fine cow, of a cross-breed, with a calf, was much admired. The quality of the Channel Islands cattle was judged exceedingly good, but not well suited for the practical purposes of agriculture. The next three frames were appropriated to the sheep, many of which were exceedingly fine animals, both in point of breed and excellence of proportion. The show of Leicesters was capital. Among the successful competitors were, Mr. Watkins, of Ombersley, Stourport ; Mr. Beasely, of Chapel Brampton, and Mr. T. Paulet, of Beeston, who severally exhibited very fine animals. The South Downs were quite equal to the show of any preceding year. The Duke of Richmond carried off the first prize. Some of the long-wool sheep were excellent, and attracted great atten tion. Mr. C. Large, Oxon, carried off the first prize for the best shearling. We understand that the animal was valued at 2001. Mr. Large also obtained a prize for extra stock. Mr. G. Handley obtained the first prize in Class 2, and Mr. G. Smith of Charbury, was declared the winner of the first prize in Class 3. The Hampshire Downs, although of fair quality, were not deemed worthy of prizes. Viscount PALMERSTON proposed the next toast. After an eloquent eulogium of the Chevalier Bunsen, his cha racter, and his country, the Noble Lord said that the more immediate subject which called him before them was the toast of " Prosperity to Agriculture, Manufactures, and Corn merce"—(Hear, hear)—those three great branches of the prosperity and power of this country ; three branches in separably dependent upon each other, and intimately inter twined and connected in all their most important interests and relations. Agriculture gave employment to commerce, commerce gave encouragement to manufactures, and then both commerce and manu'actures repaid with ample interest the obligations which they owed to their mutual parent.— (Cheers.) Commerce brought back capital—manufactures contributed spirit and demand, and by the united operation of commerce and manufactures, agriculture arose from its plain and primitive condition, until it assumed the proutl and pre-eminent position which it occupied in this country. —(Loud cheers.) There was, indeed, no country in the world, he might venture to ,say, in which these three great sources of national prosperity stood out so boldly in relief as they did in this great kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) Their commerce carried their ships to the most distant parts of the ocean—their commerce was wafted upon every wave which washed the remotest shores of the habitable portion of the world.—(Loud cheers.) Their manufactures supplied the wants and wishes of a great portion of the human race, and their commerce and manufactures creating that wealth which abounded in this country, furnished to the agricul turists those means of developing the resources of the soil, without which these resources could not be brought to bear, and provided also that Population which increased the value of the land, and tended t o give his due reward to t h e till er o f the soil.—(Hear, he ar. ) Commerce, indeed, stoo d distin guished from manufactures and agriculture, because the func tions of commerce were distributive and not creative. Agri culture and manufactures were both creative processes—they differed more in name and degree than in reality. Agricul ture and manufactures both enlisted in their service the powers and laws of nature, and both were dependent upon the exertion and skill and ingenuity of the machinist.— (Hear, hear.) Indeed, he might venture to say that if the agriculturist of the' olden time, one of those who l r i i v se ed fr a om ce h n i t s uryor a century and a half ago, should grave, and witness the magnificent display of manufact ur i ng skill which t h ey h a d a ll seen in the show-yard s of this town, it would b e di f fi cu l t to persuade him that that great amount of the results of human industry did not belong to the manufacturing enter prise of several large towns, instead of being the implements with which agriculture was pursuing its useful and daily improving course.—(Cheers.) Whenever it had been the misfortune of this country to be compelled, either for the de fence of its interests or the vindication of its honour, to draw hadtp hroewswe beens prowess sword, ft, to record i d ti s e h n g ao l; o g i n e ts h. t e n (1.) Ha t hgeeea of r l amT historyhi t a i e t s result o t f he tn ir war, uu the ehv r s e s e ra and the consequence of the unconquerable energy, untiring per severance, and the inestimable resources of our national cha racter. He trusted that the day was far distant indeed when it would be our unfortunate lot to be compelled, by the aggression of a foreign State, to add another chapter to the military and naval annals of Great Britain ; and in the mean time let them employ their national energies in acquiring those distinctions so far superior in point of advantage, and not inferior in point of honour, which arose from pre-emi nence in the arts of peace; and among those of peace, what was there more deserving of the cultivation of a great and free people, than instructive and enlightened agriculture?— (Cheers.) Instructive and enlightened agriculture was the best foundation for high and exalted national character, and was the surest and most enduring basis for permanent na tional prosperity.—(Cheers.) But to encourage and pro mote instructive and intelligent agriculture was the peculiar object for which this Society was formed. It was an object for the attainment of which it had laboured with exemplary patience and astonishing success ; and he might venture to add, that there never was a great association in a great em pire which more deserved than this did the good opinion and y, or ought mo re t o evoke t a s support thoseppl v o h r o tf feelings the nd tghs e r o e rest honour self-satisfactionno u t h r e o communit y, o belongingm m u to it. Th e N o bl e Lordt which must be shared by concluded by proposing the toast, which was received with great applause. Lord P O RTMAN proposed the next toast, "Practice with Science." Dr.r i l l. s PUSSY pPLAYFAIRener returned chee thanks.

He had never shown indolence or lassitude in the service of the British farmer, and he was sure that it was their unanimous wish that he might long be spared in health and prosperity to combine his labours on behalf of agriculture, the cause of greatly advanced.—(Cheers.) R ac knowledged the toast. Hi s Hon. Friend which Earl I s ie p had Es cE so f had said too much when he stated him to have been the only of this Society. He h ad not been its only founder. Ile had first made the proposition to his Noble Friend the Duke of Richmond—(Cheers) — and both of them agreed that such a Society must and would be of the greatest possible advantage to the country.—(Hear, hear.) It had been agreed between them that he should propose the subject to the Smithfield Club. He did so, and the proposition was re ceived as it ought to have been by English farmers.—(Hear, bear.) The matter continued to advance, and his Hon. Friend (Mr. Handley) aided its progress, by writing a pam phlet upon the subject. He must, therefore, include Mr. Handley among the founders of the Association. But after all, it was idle to talk of originators and founders. He be lieved that the success of the Society would be of enormous benefit to his fellow -countrymen at large. Its success would improve agriculture in the greatest possible degree.—(Hear, hear.) Their motto, lie would remind them, was " Science and practice ;" but they mus t no t forget that it was v necessary that the practice shoul d be good in itself. He e 7 t should like to see practice univ e rs ally good. Science ought be applied to practice; but the first great object was to . have excellent practical far min g general over the country. , Hl's Lordship concluded by thanking th e company f or t h e reception which they had given to the toast of his health. Mr. SHELLY, in a short and energetic speech, proposed " The Ladies present," and the toast WAS done full justice to. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and ulti mately returned a verdict of Guilty, accompanied by a strong recommendationeto mercy. • Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I quite agree with your verdict, gentlemen, in both its branches. The case is one which does call for mercy and compassion, and I will take the matter into my consideration before I pass sentence on the prisoner. David Clow, aged 40, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a shop, the property of James Heifer, at Farnham, in this county on the 18th instant. Mr. Derent conducted the case for the prosecution ; the prisoner was not represent eld by counsel. It appears that the prisoner, whose family occupied the " town-house," near to the premises of the prosecutor, had recently taken upon himself to erect a straw hovel, or "lean to," against one side of the prosecutor's shop, in which he used to pass the nights. On the night in question he was overheard to grumble to himself, " I'll be d—d if I don't go and burn down the whole set of them ; I'll set fire to the straw shed." This he said about twelve o'clock, as he was going towards the hovel. In a short time afterwards he went to the window of the " town-house," somewhat tipsy, and asked for a light for his candle. Having been accom modated with a light, he crossed the yard towards his bed room, and was there lost sight of. In about three-quarters of an hour the premises were discovered to be on fire, and the prisoner was seen hurrying out of the yard half-dressed, and with his clothes on fire. On this fact coming out, . ➢ir. Baron ALDERSON inquired of the jury whether they were not satisfied that the fire originated in accident, not de sign ? The man was " somewhat tipsy," and the fire did not break out for three-quarters of an hour after he went to bed. What more likely than that he fell asleep, and set fire to the bed and his own clothes too ? A juror said that he should think so too, but for the ex pression of the prisoner. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I think that that is rather favour able than otherwise to the prisoner, as it was decidedly the conduct of a drunken man. However, if the jury wish it, the case shall go on. The jury then laid their heads together, and in a few mo ments said they were quite satisfied, and returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. THE POLICE FORCE AND THE PUBLIC. Yesterday .Mr. Henry was engaged at Lambeth-street police-office in investigating a charge of an important nature, as respected the police force and the public, preferred against two constables belonging to the K division of police, named George Hades, 54, and Edward Hawley, 209 K, for a gross violation of their duty, in unlawfully withholding certain moneys allowed for expenses to three witnesses, in a case of felony, tried at the Middlesex Sessions, on Monday week. Mr. Pelham attended on behalf of the constables. The constables Hailes, Hawley, and three witnesses named Donovan, Hawson, and Collins, were bound over, at this Court, to appear at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green, to give evidence in a case of felony. They attended accordingly, and after the conviction of the prisoner, they went to the office of the Clerk of the Peace to obtain their expenses, and the Clerk then gave an order on the county treasurer for the payment of 2/. 3s. Bd., which the constable Hailes re ceived. The parties, at the request of Hanes, then retired to a public-house in the neighbourhood, where Hailes called for some paper, a pen, and ink, and after making some cal culations, he handed the witness Collins half-a-sovereign, and Hawson 6s. ed. or. 75., she was not sure which, saying that those were the proper sums allowed them by the Court for their expenses. He also offered Donovan as., which he said was her share of the expenses allowed ; but she got into a violent passion, said she had observed Bs. opposite to her name, or Bs. 6d., as the sum allowed by the Court, and that she should not take less than that sum. Hailes told her that by the printed list in the Court servants were only allowed eighteenpence a day as their expenses, and being only two days in attendance he could not think of giving her more. It should be here stated, that in the office of the Clerk of the Peace but a few months before, Hailes repre sented that the witness Donovan was but a poor servant, and succeeded in obtaining for her the highest rate of allow ance, so that the amount to which she was entitled was 7s. Donovan left the public-house, refusing to take the 35., and on reaching the house of her master, in High-street, Wapping, she found both Hailes and Hawley there. Hanes again offered her the 35., but she refused it for the reasons she had before stated, and they left her master's without giving her anything. A night or two afterwards Donovan asked Hawley, who was on the beat, about the money, and he told her that, as she had refused to accept it, they, namely, himself and Hailes, had divided the 3s. between them. Having left her situation on the Thursday following, Donovan had determined upon calling at this Court and in quiring into the matter, and on Friday she attended for that purpose, and spoke to the chief clerk on the subject. Hailes being at the Court with a charge at the time she called, and seeing her, became no doubt alarmed as to the affair, and the consequence was, that the same evening he called at the house of Hawson, one of the witnesses, and sent for the other two. He then acknowledged that he had made a " mistake" in calculating their expenses, and paid to Hawson and Col lins 2s. each, and to Donovan 55., still retaining 2s. of what was properly due to her. Donovan at the time told him she had been to the chief clerk at this Court on the subject, and that, in obedience to his request, she must attend again. Hailes replied that there was no necessity for her attending again ; that if she did not call, she would not be sent for, and that the thing would blow over. The constable Hailes said that it was entirely a mistake, that he was very sorry for it, and that as soon as he had discovered it he had paid the parties. Hawley said, he was not aware what was the proper_ sum to be paid to the witnesses ; that he only received three shillings and half of the other three shillings, which Donovan had refused, and which he had taken in consequence of what Mr. Hanes had said. Mr. ll6tnr - observed, that there could be no doubt what ever that Hailes had been guilty of a gross and deliberate fraud. The Act of Parliament gave him the power of en forcing a penalty of 20/. for the offence comm i tted by the prisoner,. or of sending the guilty par t y to wion fFir on . e cd m ou o mt n ym t h a towards i t ; hi id mi theht d o pp i r d ui obnlnioct fori f t h t n eh k ed h wi d e h l on v lo o et u o l af d d ot b ph e ta d tt s te c e ml a a r t. g t e nt ri g vai h nt his respect to the other constable, Hawley, he was glad he could take a more...favourable view of the case, as, from the evi dence, the oply thing against him appeared to be a negligewe of duty in not reporting the fact of the witnesses in the case ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED i n ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. being dissatisfied to his superior officers ; but he thought a reprimand for the neglect would suffice. Hailes was then removed in custody of the gaoler, and Hawley was discharged. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PIPERS OF THIS DAT. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIMES.—A decree has just made its appearance in Holland of great importance to the holders of the diffe rent descriptions of stocks to which it refers. By this document the holders of the New Dutch Five per Cents. (the " speckle-backs") are informed that interest on this loan ceases on the Ist of September next. Parties de sirous of receiving money for their bonds, are to present them in Amsterdam to be stamped prior to the 20th of August, otherwise they must take a Four per Cent. Stock at 95f in exchange, receiving 41 per cent. diffe rence in money. The holders of the old Five per Cent. bonds have the option of declaring from the Ist to the 20th of August next whether they will exchange their bonds for Four per Cents. at 95+, receiving the difference of 41 per cent. in money. The holders of Dutch Four per Cents., if they desire Government bonds, and not inscriptions in the " great book" of Holland, must give notice before the 31st of August next, and present their provisional certificates for the,purpose. A correspondence between the Chancellor of the Ex chequer and the South Sea Company, containing the propositions which will be submitted to the general meet ing of the latter on the 31st instant, and clearly showing the intentions of the Government, has just been pub lished. --- The substance of the matter is this :—The Govern ment will make good the Guarantee Fund by the transfer to the Company of 610,464/. Three per Cents., and by this they will get from the Company 3,720/. customs, being the compensation for South Sea duties, all the unclaimed dividends on the South Sea Annuities (not stock), with the exception of 10,0001., and 13,7641., the unclaimed residue of certain capital stock, long since paid off, and which goes by the technical name of the " annihilations." The expense of managing the public debt by the South Sea Company is by the present system 5,9001. per annum, which will be reduced to 3,1001., by making the charge the same as that of the Bank of Eng land, or 300/. per 1,000,0001., and this is all that the Company will receive from the Government. Hence a serious question arises to the proprietors. The expenses of the South Sea House, including direc tors' salaries, clerks' salaries, and contingencies, amount to 9,200/ per annum ; and this expense is, it seems, by the new arrangement, to be kept up, while the Company receives only 3,100/, being a dead loss of 6,0001. per annum. Many of the proprietors are therefore anxious that the reform should be carried still further, and that the old suggestions of transferring the annuities at once to the Bank of England should be adopted. This would get rid of the expense, and leave nothing but pensions to be provided, for which, it is said, the Company possesses means amply sufficient. SUN.—The English Stock Market leaves off flat, but this is rather the effect of speculation than anything else, as the latest money bargains were at 991 buyers, and those for time at 99 4 sellers.

The Pavilion was erected at the upper end of Houndmell ; and although considerably smaller than that used at the Derby meeting, was extensive enough to seat upwards of 1.200 people. Earl Spencer occupied the chair. His Lordship also acted as chaplain, and at the beginning and end of the repast pro nounced a short grace, in a loud, sonorous tone. The Duke of Richmond acted as Vice-Chairman. Among the gentlemen present we may mention the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Car narvon, Viscount Palmerston, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Hatherton, Lord Portland, Lord Worsley, Lord Grosvenor, Sir John Easthope, Bart.. M.P., Colonel Challoner, the Chevalier Bunsen, Mr. P. Pusey, M.P., Mr. Hayter, M.P., Mr. Shelly, Colonel Le Couteur, D r . Buckland, Mr. Benet, M.P., Mr. Cowper, M.P., &c. After the usual loyal toasts, the Earl of CARNARV ON pro posed " Success to the Royal Agricultural Society of Eng land." It was a toast which he fully expeeted would be hailed with an unanimous burst of acelamation.--(Loud THE THAMES YACHT CLUB. The yachts of this club sailed their last match for the sea son yesterday. The company were received, as on former occasions, on board the Comet steamer, at the Old Shades wharf, London-bridge, at nine o'clock, and thence conveyed to Greenwich, where the yachts intended for the match were at their anchors off the Royal Hospital. The match was for boats of two classes, the first in each class to be winners, and the second in either class to be a winner also. The prizes were an elegant silver salver, valued at 50 guineas, and two silver guilt cups and ewers, valued at 25 guineas each. The distance to be sailed was from Greenwich to Coal-house Point (a little below Gravesend) and back again to Green wich. There was scarcely wind enough to make the match one of much speed or excitement; nevertheless, the day was pleasantly spent ; and with the assistance of a good supply of wives and more substantial food on board the steamer, and a military band, the company contrived to enjoy themselves and pass the time agreeably. The start took place at a quarter past eleven o'clock, the following vessels contending: FIRST CLASS. Champion, 25 tons, Mr. Gunton, owner. Gazelle, 25 tons, Mr. Rutherford, owner. Phantom, 20 tons, Mr. A. 0. Wilkinson, owner. Enigma, 25 tons, Mr. J. Wilkinson, owner. Blue Bell, 25 tons, Mr. J. Chandless, owner. SECOND CLASS. Sea ITymph, 10 tons, Mr. C. Wheeler, jun., owner. Fay, 12 tons, Mr. Hewes, owner. The Sea Nymph and the Fay were allowed a few yards in the position, to give them the opportunity of canting round at the. start. The start was thus—Sea Nymph, Blue Bell, Enigma, Phantom, Fay, Gazelle, and Champion. At Bugsby's-hole the order was reversed, and the position of the yachts was thus—Enigma, Gazelle, Sea Nymph, Blue Bell, Fay, Phan tom and Champion. Off Woolwich a change was made ; the Sea , Nymph then led, and the Blue Bell was second ; but shortly after the Blue Bell became the leading yacht, and kept the lead to Coal-house Point, where the flag buoy was rounded in the order and time following:— Blue 8e11... . . 33 minutes, 30 seconds past 3 o'clock. Champion ... 43 minutes, 30 seconds ditto Phantom 50 minutes, 5 seconds ditto Sea Nymph 51 minutes, 10 seconds ditto Fay ...... 56 minutes, 30 seconds ditto Enigma 5B minutes, 55 seconds ditto The Gazelle had before this point given in, and retired from the contest. The match back had little variation in the position of the boats. The first that arrived at Greenwich and won the principal prize, was — The Blue Bell at half-past six o'clock. Second, the Champion, at a quarter to 7 o'clock. Third, the Phantom ... at six minutes to 7 o'clock. Fourth,theSea Nymph, at five minutes to 7 o'clock. The Fay and the Enigma some time afterwards. The winners were, therefore, the Blue Bell, the Champion, and the Sea Nymph. The Phantom being of the first-class, though in before the Sea Nymph, could not be winner of the cup for the boat first in of the second class. Commodore Harrison, as usual, presented the prizes to the victors, whom he ad dressed in a suitable speech, and he and the company drank their healths from the cups, which were filled with wine, and handed round amidst the cheers of an immense multitude of persons. The steamer left Greenwich shortly before eight o'clock, and landed her passengers at London-bridge before dusk. All was well conducted and much to the credit of the commander and the officers of the club. ST. BOTOLPH, ALDGATE, AND ST. KATHARINE'S REGATTA. Yesterday the Scullers' Match, given by subscription of the lovers of aquatic sport in the parishes of St. Botolph and St. Katharine's, took place, and attractedja large concourse of spectators The match was for a new coat and badge, and several minor prizes, to be rowed by six free watermen's ap prentices, and to be decided in five heats. The distance rowed was from off the Custom-house, and round a vessel moored off Downe's-wharf, Lower East Smithfield, twice each heat. The First Heat was contested by the following young men : William Martell,lrongate-stairs Orange Richard Walters, St. Katharine's-stairs Pink John Moss, Alderman's-stairs Red. Contrary to expectation Martell took the lead and kept it, winning by several lengths, Walters came in second, and Moss third. SECOND HEAT. Henry John Win , Irongate-stairs Samuel Bond, St. Xatharine's-stairs Yellow Henry Mellish, Alderman's-stairs Blue. Wing was the favourite at starting and won easily, Mellish being close behind him, and Bond third. Third Heat.—Moss, Mellish, Bond, and Walters. Won by Moss, Mellish second, Bond third, and Walters fourth. Fourth Heat.—Wing, Martell, Mellish, and Moss. Wing took the lead and maintained it throughout, and came in first by at least seven lengths, Martell being second, Mellish third, and Moss fourth. This was an excell ent match between Martell and Mellish, Moss, th ou gh exhibing superior physical strength, was nearly distanced. The Fifth or Grand Heat was betw een Wing and Martell. The former won easily growin of his opponent was ex ceedingly good, and disappointed some of the " knowing ones" alongshore. It will be seen that the grand heat was contested by two Irongate-stairs' watermen, who proved themselves more than a match for their competitors. Th e match was under the management of Mr. George Rivett, of Alderman's-stairs, and gave undivided satisfaction. To pre vent the possibility of a breach of the peace, Inspectors Fox and Josiah Judge, belonging to the Thames Police, were in attendance on the river, and for civility and general frank ness, under occasionally conflicting circumstances, their ex ercise of duty was quite exemplary. ARRIVAL Or TILE QUEEN DOWAGER.—WOOLWICH, JeLv 25.—The Black Eagle arrived at our yard this morning at eight o'clock, and came alongside the wharf, having on board her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite. Iler Majesty looked well, and sat on the deck until half-past eight, when she diSembarked, and imme diately proceeded to town. The landing was strictly private ; not any of the military authorities were pre sent, the guard of honour dispensed with, and Commo dore SirlFraneis Collier, the Superintendent of the Dock- Yard, was the only party to receive her. A foreign steamer proceeded up the river • with her Majesty's luggage. o open letters is esteemed the greatest breach of honour. Even to look into them already opened, or acciden tally dropped, is held an ungenerous, if not an immoral act. —Pope. d! 1 - I PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

It originated in the hayloft belonging to Mr. Hobson, of the Blackfriars-road, whose stables are si tuated in Cross-street. At the time mentioned a dog, which was kept in the yard, set up a most dreadful yelping and scratching against the stable-door, which induced a neigh bour, being at the back of the yard, to look out of the win - dow, when he saw the hay in flames. Joyce, of the L di vision, with other officers, were on the spot, and, by speedy information the Waterloo-road, West of England, and South wark-bridge- road engines were in attendance; but, through the timely assistance at first afforded by the neighbours, little injury was done. FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT ON LONDON-BRIDGE. —Mr. Payne held an inquest last evening at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of James Henry Read, aged ten years, who was run over on London-bridge. William Kirby, of liedcross-court, Borough, said that while passing over London. bridge, on Monday evening last, he saw the de ceased endeavouring to cross the road, by running between a cart and a,waggon. As he got at the back of the cart he stumbled and fell in the road exactly befpre an omnibus coming in the direction of the Borough. Both the near wheels went over his loins, but he nevertheless was able to rise and walk a short distance. Witness knowing that the boy must have been severely injured, took him quickly to the hospital. The driver of the omnibus pulled up as soon after the accident as possible, and witness did not think that he could be in any way blamed for what had happened. Deceased was running. The above evidence was corrobo rated by Mr. William Webb, of No. 87, Aldgate, who was seated on the top of the omnibus. Mr. Joseph Stephen Read, rope and mat maker, of No. 14, St. Mary-at-Hill, said that the deceased was his son. Deceased wanted to leave home on Monday, and witness refused to let him go, but un fortunately he contrived to escape from the house, and wason his way with an acquaintance to see the rowing match when the accident happened. He died from the injuries before-he arrived at the hospital. The driver of the omnibus was taken before the magistrate at Guildhall and remanded. Verdict, Accidental death." NOVEL SALE OF PINE APPLES.—The notice of the sale of a large quantity , of foreign grown pine apples has already appeared in this journal, but it was not anticipated that such luscious luxuries, which have hitherto only graced the tables of the wealthy, would have been thus placed within the reach of poorer classes by the novel mode of having con siderable numbers exposed in barrows, and hawked through the streets or sale in the same way as it is customary to see cherries and cocoa nuts, but with the addition that the public ears were saluted with the extraordinary cry of "Pine apples, a penny a slice." ..DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT BATTERSEA.—Yesterday evening, between five and six o'clock, the following frightful accident, attended with fatal consequences, occurred at the Creek-bridge, Lowy* Wandsworth-read, attersea :—About the time above mentioned, a cart heavily laden with grains, and drawn by two horses, was crossing the bridge, in the direction of Battersea town, having Just come from Mr. Watney'a - distillery, when a wash butt, on which was seated an old man and his son, named Bartlett, drove up in a con trary direction. The old man, without checking his horse, endeavoured to clear the cart, by ;ping close to the left-hand side of the bridge, but in doing so the butt struck the para pet, and both Bartlett and his son were pitched off. The sun pitched upon his head, and lay to all appearance dead; the old man fell under the wheel of the cart, which passed over his back and loins. The accident was so instantaneous that it was impossible for the driver of the cart to stop his horses in time, and no blame can be attributable to him. The suf ferers were taken to the Nag's head Inn, where the boy died in a few minutes after his arrival. Dr. Shaw was sent for to attend the father, but the nature of hia _injuries are such that recovery is looked upon as hopeless. Many accidents, and fatal ones, have occurred on this bridge, which is a dis grace to the parish of Battersea. Jt is not only so narrow as to be barely passable for two carts at a time, but its con struction and approaches are of he most clumsy and ill-con ditioned character. FIRE AT TIVICKENIIAM.—I/II Wednesday night a hay-stack belonging to Mr. C.
