AYLESBURY, WEDNESDAY.—The annual dinner of the members of this association tuck place here this afternoon at the Georß.e, Inn, Mr. Lowndes presiding in the absence of the Duke of Buckingham, and sup ported by Mr. Disraeli, M.P., Captain Vyse, M.P., and other gentlemen. The attendance of country gentlemen was exceed ingly numerous, as for days previous to the event a rumour had been spread abroad that the assembly would be devoted quite as much to political as con vivial purposes, and that Mr. Disraeli and the other county Members would attend. The first gentleman was publicly announced in the local press as having declared his intention to address the meeting. Dinner (which was served in very good style) having con cluded, and the usual loyal toasts having been drunk, Captain ITYiE returned thanks on behalf of the army and navy. He conceived it his duty, as an English gentleman and a Member of the House of Commons, to stand by the agricultural interest now that i was suffering. At the present time it was re quired that every man who had the good of his fellow countrymen at heart should join in protecting her suffering interests, which unless something was done would be left to go to' ruin. —(Hear, hear.) Standing there as a friend to the agricultural interest, he did not quarrel with any man for his political opinions. He looked not to political sentiments, but to the condition of the country. He looked at what the country was. He looked at those institutions which had made her great, and he trem bled to think of the innovations and changes which threatened.—(Hear, hear.) He would not be told that recent legislation had made England happier. A change had been effected for the benefit of a class of democrats, to the detriment of the English farmer, who might literally be called the " staple commodity" of this country. He was glad to find that those classes who at first hailed free trade as a benefit to their particular callings bad now discovered their error, and he trusted that no long time would elapse before they found an alteration in the system which was at present productive of so much mischief. " The Health of the Duke of Buckingham," the President of the association, was then drunk, and a letter from that nobleman, expressing his sympathy with the objects of the association, and his regret at his unavoidable absence, was then read. " The Royal Bucks Agricultural Association" having been given, the farm servants who had distin guished themselves by their length of service, good conduct, and skill in different agricultural employ ments, were called in, and various pecuniary and other rewards were distributed. Mr. LOWNDES STONE proposed the " Members for the County." Mr. DISRAELI rose to return thanks, and was re ceived with immense cheering. After apologizing for the absence of his colleagues, Mr. Du Pre and Mr. Cavendish, the Hon. Member said—Gentlemen, on this occasion I am placed in a different position from either of my colleagues, whatever may be their po litical opinions. I have to thank you for drinking my health as Member for the county ; you cannot forget that from circumstances to which I need not refer I have not lately had the pleasure of meeting you ; yet, I have been in communication with the Royal Agri cultural Association of the county of Bucks. I can assure you that whatever has been the excitement of public life, whatever has been the excitement or feel ing of the hour, I have never forgotten the county cf Bucks, nor have I for a moment bartered for the pos sible favour of a Court or for the applause of the Se nate, the approbation of those men who first intro duced me into public life, whose good opinion I shall always wish to preserve, and whose interests I shall always be ready to serve. Now on this occasion we meet under very peculiar circumstances. This association is unlike many similar associations in this country. It was not merely founded for the highly interesting but limited object which we have just carried out. It was not merely founded to give tone to the peasantry of the country, to animate them to faithful service, or to reward them for diligent conduct ; it was also founded to watch over the fortunes of this agricultural county. —(Hear, hear.) Therefore, gentlemen, it would be worse than mockery, meeting as we do under such circumstances, for a Member of the House of Com mons, bound to consider your fortunes and vindicate your interest, to take advantage of the common-place excuse sometimes too liberally exercised, and to say that politics are forbidden on this occasion, and in fact to avoid making any allusion to the perilous position which you occupy, and which of course is the great subject which interests you—(Hear, hear)—or to try to avoid giving the reasons for the apprehensions which I, as your Member, feel on ybur behalf. Gentlemen, it must be—l em almost afraid to say it—three years ago since we met under the political circumstances which now bring us together. It was at the time when the interest of the cultivators of the soil was first feeling the sharp distress which has since, without any diminution, pressed en their energies even if it stimulated them ; and I cannot help remarking that it was in this room that I first expressed to you those views which I have since attempted to carry into action, and which at that time occasioned great oppo sition from our opponents, and occasioned some demur even from those who sympathised with us, but which entirely without any assistance I pressed on, prose cuted, and sustained, and by your assistance I have brought to a point very different from that which they first occupied when I first addressed you on the subject. Tnerefore, gentlemen, it is not unnatural — it is, indeed, a most natural thing, even if it were not my duty, that I should briefly and, of course, in that unstudied manner which becomes our communicta tions, and has always distinguished them, give you my views of what is the position which we occupy — what not only is our position at this moment, but what are our future prospects, and what, under these cir cumstances, as men of sense, not men of violent views, but as men who understand the spirit of the age as well as the position they occupy, what course we ought to take under the circumstances, no doubt, most difficult, if not the most discouraging, that ever presented themselves to a body of public men.— (Hear, hear.) Well, gentlemen, lam doubtful what to say; the duty is a disagreeable one, but I have often experienced your indulgence before. I know that I appeal to men of intelligence, and who will sympathise with me, provided they think that Ido my duty.—(Hear.) Therefore I take this opportunity in as few words as I can command, to endeavour to form an impartial opinion of the position in which we are placed, and of the prospects opening to us ; that we may know whether we do not indulge in an illu sion in trying to keep up our spirits by the conviviality of the hour ; that, understanding the position in which we are placed, we may at once come to the con clusion that it is a hopeless position, or that in what ever difficulty we are placed it may be encountered by understanding it, by unanimity, union, and de termined conduct.—(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, a considerable time has elapsed, for in this rapid age three or four years is a great epoch, since that revo lution took place in the laws regulating the industry of the country which has since exercised so fatal an influence on the fortunes of the owners and occupiers of land in this country.—(Hear, hear.) I think we may all of us approach the consideration with calmer feelings than we did latterly when this alteration was proposed so suddenly, and from a quarter so unex pected.—(Hear, hear.) I think we may be able (not ourselves, but the country generally) to view the question in a calmer and truer spirit. You may re member that this strange and sudden alteration for 1 strange and sudden all must admit it to have been, whatever may be their opinions of its policy or impo licy—you may remember the strange and sudden re volution in the laws regulating the industry of this country, which exposed to sudden competition the industry and labour of the whole world with our own.—(Hear, hear.) That sudden revolution was made, so far as agriculture was concerned, upon cer tain representations. It was held out to England that the system to be abrogated, and which was called the protective system, was the bane of our agricul ture ; that the reason why the farmers of the United Kingdom could not compete with the cultivators of the soil in other countries was that they were not men of energy and enterprise ; that they were men defi - cient in skill ; and that the want of energy, enter prise, and skill were occasioned by the system of pro tection to which I have referred. Well, no doubt, this statement, made in a reckless manner, was ac cepted by the mass of the people, and, not encoun tered at the time, or encountered too late, this insinu ation was made an i m p or t an t age ncy ; it carried public fe r e nce to n a n opinion with it ; and thi s a lt era ti o n was made many(how ever doub ted that there s sas on theitsexpedie partncy) o in def the cultivators of the soil of the United Kingdom a want of energy and enterprise, a deficiency of skill and capital. Since that time the subject had been better understood, and calmer feelings have enabled all classes to come to a more correct opinion on the subject and they assume the fact no longer that the British farmer is a man deficient in energy, ent • erprise, and skill. It is now known, on the contrary, that he is a man who has raised from every acre of the soil more produce than any other farmer in Europe or America. Tnat is a point now universally admitted, and it is not necessary in any society to discuss the truth of it. Even yesterday I beard a statement respecting the cultivation of the soil of France. Che ordinary pro- duce of France is only 16 bushels ter acre, while the average of the United States is onit 18. That cir cumstance will not tend to show tht the British far- iner is - a man deficient in --- energy - ad enterprise ; but it is also a fact, according to the pg)ers placed before us es official documents in the Muse of Commons, tnat at the end of the war with the American States, the average produce per acre was 2► bushels of wheat in England, and, when the corn-lays were abrogated in 1846, the average produce, wis 32 bushels. — (Hear.) I can only draw from tba fact a conclusion opposite to those arrived at by maiy of our distin guished political economist, and I dc not think that it tells against the system under whith so great an in crease of produce is effected. There i, another remark able tact now universally admitted, viz-, that in the period of time which has elapsed ketwee❑ 1821 and 1846, or a quarter of a century, tle increase of the population of this country was 32 For cent., and the increase in the produce was 64 per cent. This also is a proof cf energy and enterprise, and another fact which no one disputes. In the year 1815, when not a man in this room or in this country could suppose that the protective system was in danger, the farmer of the United Kingdom—this man, described as I wanting in energy and enterprise—imported from a port in the Pacific more than four million hundred weight of a rare, new, and pEculiar manure—guano, and all this in proof of his incompetency. I notice these things because I wish to convey to you what is the public opinion on this subject. Whatever might have been the public opinion as to the repeal of the corn-laws in 1846, the pretext was that it was neces sary to repeal them because the cultivators of the soil were not competent men. That idea has now been given up, and another preteit assigned for their repeal. I remember that the eminent statesman, the author of the repeal of the corn-laws, was asked in the House, by Lord George Bentiuck, what he in tended to do as regarded the commutation of tithes in consequence of the anticipated fall in the price of corn ? Sir Robert Peel said, he did not anticipate any material diminution in the yrice of corn, and therefore he should not make any alteration in the law which regulated the commutation of tithes. I might mention a whole catalogue of eminent men— the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Lansdowne, and a number of other persons—who did not antici pate any serious diminution in the price of agricul sural produce. I have as yet given no opinion on the policy of the repeal of the corn-laws. I have shown you, and I wish to impress upon you and others, that the pretexts upon which the repeal was carried were erroneous, that the pretext that the farmer was a man deficient in energy, enterprise, and skill was the first raised; and, secondly, that the change which took place would only stimulate those deficient ener gies without affecti❑g prices. The fact is now ac- knowledged by the country, that the farmer was not a man deficient in energy and enterprise, and the change which has been affected does press most se riously upon the price of produce. Now, gentlemen, you must be aware that with your greatest exertions you are but encountering great difficulties without reaping corresponding advantages—(Hear, hear) — and it became a question whether we ought not to inquire what is the cause of this great depression, and if we can come to a satisfactory conclusion what is the cause, to try to ascertain what may be the remedy best under the circumstances, and whether it be pos sible by union and energy to effect those remedial consequences for which we all desire. I have spoken to you frankly, for indeed my conscience does not accuse me that when the protective system was at tacked I did not do my best to uphold it ; but to up hold a system that exists, and to bring back a system that has been abrogated, are two different things ; and I am convinced myself that the system generally known by the name of the protective system can never be brought back unless it is the interest of all classes—at least of all classes of importance—that this should be the principle which should regulate the national industry, and unless the nation speaks out upon the question in an unmistakeable manner.— (Cheers.) but knowing the difficulties in which the question is involved, am I, as the representative of an agricultural constituency, to sit still and say that the interest which I represent ought to be allowed to fall into this state of dilapidation, because no remedy but one can be acknowledged ? Is this satisfactory ? Or would it be so when we all know that this is the only remedy under these most difficult circum stances ?—(Cheers.) I now look to the general question. What is the reason that the British agri culturist, who I have proved to you is a man of energy and enterprise—a man who has the command of great skill and capital—what is the reason that he cannot compete with the foreign producer? I find the reason to be this—that he is subject to a load of taxation which overwhelms his energies and curtails his enter prise.—(Loud cheers.) Whatever may be the gene ral taxation of the country, I know that the agricul turist must bear it, and take his share with all other persons. I look to the increase of the population, to the increased produce of the British farmer, as cir cumstances which have, no doubt, a tendency to di minish the weight of taxation upon all classes of the community, but I find with this that the owners and occupiers of the soil have to incur a taxation which other classes of the country do not share. Therefore, however you may diminish the weight cf the general taxation of the country, from the increase of popula- tion, and the weight Of British produce, the owners and occupiers of the soil will always have an addi tional burden to fight against which other classes will not have. At this moment you know that, after the change of these laws, the only class in a state of great distress are the farmers. Gentlemen, I know it was said when the corn-laws were repealed it would be found to the interest of the owners and occupiers of the soil; but in my opinion the repeal of the corn laws has very much simplified the question. It was possible, under the old circumstances then existing, to make out a case which I think a fallacious one, namely, that the interests of the owners and occupiers were different, but that the moment you withdrew these laws, which created artificial prices, the owners and occupiers of the soil would be only in the situa• tion of partners, the one bringing fixed capital and the raw material, the other bringing labour and skill and floating capital, and dividing the profits between them according to a private arrangement made be tween themselves. The same would be the case as regarded manufacturers in partnership at Manchester who might divide the profits according to their re spective capitals ; therefore, if this is so with regard to the land, a man might be both owner and occu pier, and be taxed as an individual filling both posi tions.—(Hear.) Will they grant to this man the advantage of the same principle which they themselves have generally acknowledged as a principle on which the commerce of this country should be conducted? It is laid down by our adversaries that no raw mate rial of manufactures should be taxed. Well, but if they look to the land, what is the first thing they do by the present laws ? They tax the land, which is the raw material of the farmer, in every way, under all circumstances, and at the earliest moment. — (Cheers.) The farmer does not step upon the acres which he has hired before he is called upon for a rate, which is in fact a taxation of his raw material.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") I ask how is this reconcileable with the principle that they lay down that raw material should not be taxed in the case of manufactures when the raw material of the agriculturist is taxed in every shape? —(llear, hear.) This leads me at once to the con sideration of local burdens, and I shall be able to put the case before you in the course of a few minutes in a light in which you will at once recognize it. I think it was in this room that I first intimated my opinion that this question ought fairly to be brought before the count r y. Y ou k now th e g r ea t o pp os iti on we had to enc oun t er f rom our opponents from the want of cordiality which existed among ourselves. — (Hear, hear.) You know that when this question was first brought forward in the House of Commons it was sustained only by the petition of the Royal Bucks Agricultural Association, and we had a majo rity of 100 against us. What happened in the next year ? This great majority was reduced to 25 or 30. You know, then, what happened last year, when, with nothing to assist us but continued discussion and the increased and progressive influence of truth and reason, the majority almost entirely disappeared.— (Loud cheers.) Th e f orce o f th ese f ew f ac t s were so inconsiderable, th a t th e ex i s ti ng Go ve r nmen t cou ld no longer contend aga i ns t them.—(Hear, hear.) Now, look at the case of the local taxation of the country. I shall not trouble you with details, and with very few figures. I have thought of the subject in every shape under these critical circumstances, and I have to contend on this question with men of great ability, so that my mind is brought to that state of discipline, that it places the question some times in a novel and I hope in a true end a more striking manner. Now there is received from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in local taxation the sum of 13,000,0001. annually. When he complained urgently of this great assessment it was said that the land must pay, that a good deal of it more than other classes o f t h e commu nity.property of the country b ore a great deal of this burd en, but that statement was denied as u tt er ly erroneous. I find upon calculatio n , th a t, o f the 3,0 T0 OthOe, pOa per annum received fro m thi s un it e d class of property , 1, f 8 000 000/. were contrib u t e d by the laud of the Unitedliingdona. This is a general IDryoeoa 1 1 . statement, which no one can contend against. Let me at once show you tho consequence of the state of affairs. I will take the rental of the United Kingdom at 60,000,0001. per annum. That is an excessive estimate, but I always wish to state the case rather against ourselves, because the reduction of rents in England and distress in Ireland have rendered this a very large estimate to make. We have pretty good evidence that the general income is about 210,000,000/. per annum. Take a moderate estimate, we will take only the taxable income of the country-60,000.0001., or one-fourth of the general income. We will say. however, that it is only one-third. If only one-third of this contributes 8,000,0001. of local taxation—a taxa tion now universally admitted for objects of general and permanent interest, it follows that two-thirds of that 8,000,0001.. or I will only say 6,000,0001. must he borne by the land of the country. Tnat ap pears to me to be an arithmetical proposition which no one can impugn. The lull of the country, therefore, every year contributes to the advantage of the coun try, :and the maintenance of common and national objects 6,000,0001. more than it ought.—(Hear, hear.) Now, let me ask you, what is 6,000,0001. per annum ? It is 10 per cent. on the rental of the country, accord ing to the estimate I have taken. We read in the newspapers of landlords making allowances of 10 per cent. to their tenants. This is received with kindly feeling, as it is granted, although the person granting, as well as the person receiving, feels that it is not equal to the occasion. Then 6,000,0001. per annum is equal to another 10 per cent. ; but absolutely you will find that the advice given to you by your opponents to find by accommodation among yourselves i remedy for the present distress is not a specific for it according to the account now common. Let me impress upon you that it is no longer necessary to argue that theob ject for which the 6,000,0001. is levied is an object of national interest. When I first brought this question before the House of Commons, I had enter into an abstract and elaborate argument to prove that the main tenance of the poor was a national object, but now no one will discuss the question. We have even the pub lished evidence to the secretary of the Treasury— Mr. Cornewall Lewis—a full admission as to that point. It comes to this, therefore, that the weight of your local taxation is equal to one-tenth of the rental of the country, and tlmt, if an impartial and a fair ad justment took place, the owners and occupiers of land would at once be relieved to that extent. I was sur- prised, when the Member for a neighbouring county, Mr. Pusey, said that the question of Gd. in the pound was a mere county rate ; Gd. in the pound is to every tenant in England a question of a further reduction of 10 per cent. upon the rental he is paying—a question of great interest and importance, and which, even if we cannot bring back the old system which the country alone can bring back—we are still bound to work for and attempt to achieve.—(Hear, hear.) We ought not only to obtain an adjustment of taxation founded upon the principle which is now acknowledged, but we should regulate our financial system so as to free the land from all unnecessary restrictions which now keep up these burdens upon national industry, when we know that every other class is free from them. Now, I will not touch upon the laws prohibiting the farmer from cultivating tobacco, sugar, &c. Let me pass by these which it is too late to allude to now ; let me pass by these restrictions founded under a totally different state of circumstances to those now existing. The revenue of this country was formerly raised by securing a certain market to one important productive interest, and throwing the burden of taxation on and straining that interest in conse quence. The minute you withdrew the artificial assistance you gave to that interest the moment you ceased to assure them of a certain market, you ought to have adapted your financial system to that change of affairs, and given them relief proportionate to the assistance you withdrew from them, or your restric tions upon the cultivation of the soil must seriously interfere with the profits of the farmer.—(Cheers.) I know nothing more remarkable than this. Look to the amount of revenue raised in this country in one great branch of national income—a branch now deemed so important that, in these times of political economy, a name has been found for it, namely, the inland revenue. This produces 15,000,0001. per annum, a sum equal to the revenues of great empires— equal to the revenue of the empire of Austria. Why, here is a fact that must astonish a foreigner. Two thirds of that great amount—two-thirds of the inland revenue of England—is raised on taxation upon One single crop, the barley of the British farmer, producing two• thirds of the 15,000,000/.—(llear, bear.) Look at the position of the British farmer with regard to this particular crop of barley. You know that I have never been one to take a hot-headed view of things. I have always felt myself, that if you could secure to yourselves an assured market fur general produce, there would be little ground for complaint in being called upon to bear a share of local taxation. But look at the position of the British farmer at the pre sent moment. You have Sir Robert Peel, and his successor, Lord John Russell, who, when speaking of the statements of agricultural distress brought for ward, said they would always recommend the British farmer not to trust too much to his wheat crop. But while you tell him no longer to produce wheat, you maintain those laws which restrict the employment of his capital in the production of barley, and if he asks you to give him relief, you tell him it is not fair to the consumer;—(Laughter)—but on all other subjects the interests of the consumer are now winked at. Who can deny that the law raises two-thirds of the inland revenue of this country from the crop of the British farmer by a restriction on his crops? But who can suppose that, if the present state of affairs had always existed, the duty upon barley would ever have existed ? When that restriction was imposed, the agricultural interest of the country had an assured market and could bear their burdens. The assured market has been withdrawn, and the burdens ought to be withdrawn also. Touching on this subject, I must show you that the only mode of obtaining relief and vindicating your rights is by properly under standing this question. I said just now that the great principle on which the new system was established was that the raw material of the manufacturer should not be touched. Well, then, I want to know if that be the principle on which their system is founded, who can vindicate a land-tax ?—(Hear, hear.) They have repealed all artificial markets and prices ; now, then, can they continue the restriction which presses upon the owner and occupier, between whom there is no longer any difference ? No person ever offered an argument in the House of Commons—neither the Chancellor of the Exchequer nor even Mr. Cobden himself would come forward and tell you that it was just that power should be maintained by a particular class of property, or that taxation should be levied on one class, from which all other classes were free, or that restrictions should be made upon one particular crop, whilst other produce was exempt from that restriction. All must admit that the agricultural interest was suf fering severely. That was the admission of the Mi.. nister, and the acknowledgment of the Sovereign at the commencement of the session. That interest is suffering from imposts and restrictions to which no other property is subject. That being admitted, how is the allegation of distress to be encountered? In this manner:—" It is for the interest of the community that you should pay taxes for the rest." This is really the case. No one pretends that if they began de novo they would construct a financial system like the pre sent, but, as it exists, they say they will maintain it as long as they can. If the agricultural interest is resolute the question will be asked how is the deficit which this would occasion to be replaced, and the an swer should be that it is their business to devise some satisfactory means of arrangement. I believe that we have a case for the country ; if we can ask for relief on the principle which our antagonists are promulga ting ; if we can show that we are subject to an unequal taxation ; if we can show that we are subject to inju rious restrictions; if we can show that we are en countering this unequal taxation and unjust restric tions under the pressure of distress which no other class of the community experiences, then it is for our opponents to devise terms of arrangement. I think it most unwise in the landed interest—and when I say the landed interest I mean the farmer as much as the proprietor, for I make no difference—they are part ners in the great agricultural firm—l say that it is a most unwise thing for the agricultural interest to go to any Government and say—" We are suffering; give us a fixed duty ; give us a sliding scale, and cure our suffering." Our business is to say—" We are suffering, and you admit it. The cause of it is, excess of taxation, which our energies cannot endure. We have restrictions on our industry under which no in dustry can prosper. We call upon you to give us justice, and to place us upon the same level as our fellow-citizens. If you will not do this—if you have some dcubts as politicians, statesmen, as men of the world, as Members of Parliament, as to how far you can do this, it is for you to devise some compro mise, and come forward with it—it is for you to do it, and for us to consider whether, upon the whole, with our present politica: and financial arrangements, we can further endure the burdens we now experience without such concession as will place us more on an equality with the other interests of the country. What we want is political justice—what we want is financial equity. Give us that which we demand, that we may be placed upon a level with our fellow-subjects with regard to taxation and the freedom of our industry, and we will endeavour to maintain the struggle you have imposed t z pon us. If you cannot act upon the prin ciple of j' i stice you have so lately d ec l ared, then come forward Ito us and give us some scheme—some arrangem e nt which may be the result of your wise counsels— - your skilful statesmanship, which will do for the ag, - icultural class—an eminently loyal class-- that whit t they require, end then we shall have some respect folt the propositions made by the Ministry."— (Loud ch , 3ers.) If the agricultural interest unites under ti e advantages which intelligence gives to great bodi !ts of men—if we go before the country and show that we have a case founded on justice, and that can bs supported by argument, we shall gain the sympathi( le of all classes of a country where justice has ever :been esteemed and reason has ever been honoured. If I could condescend to consider the tactics of c :ur opponents, I would venture to say that it is not (Yu iy the most just, not only the most honest, not only a e most honourable, but the most adroit, the wisest,, and it will be the most successful means. The Hon. 'Gentleman adverted to the measure pro posed by ,ord J. Russell for the extension of the franchise, • avowing his intention to give it his careful considerat i m if framed for the benefit of the people, and to op} w )se it if struck as a blow at the representa tive powea s of landowners and occupiers. He re sumed his seat amid loud applause. Several other toasts followed, and the proceedings were coati nued until a late hour in the evening. THE .11.EIV BOSTON PACKET SHIP STAFFORDSHIRE. LIVERIN DOL, WEDNESDAY.—ro - day, at two o'clock, an assemia; 'y of the principal merchants and Atlantic exporters 1 ook place on board this new and handsome line of pa. ket ship, to partake of a luncheon, on the inaugurati on of the last and largest clipper ship launched f or the American trade. Messrs. Train and Co., of this port, are the enter prising ow ners ; and when the fact is stated that two previous ra:ttempts had been made by men of great wealth area undoubted enterprise to establish a line of packet shins between Liverpool and Boston, both of which ha(l, , from various causes, failed, the discou raging cirammstances under wlch Mr. Train com menced V: is line may be in somrdegree appreciated. The imp urters of British goods at Boston had been so accustomed to receive their merchandise by way of New Yorll, a and the outlay of capital required to esta blish a ree ;ular line between Liverpool and Boston was so grt !at that the up-hill work which Mr. Train had persess eringly to overcome was of no ordinary de scription. With a resolution not to be conquered, however, lie visited nearly all the shipbuilding yards of New I i ngland, and having become acquainted with the hest ni odels, entered into arrangements with Mr. M`Kay, ho removed to East Boston, and by whom the whole of the splendid clippers on this line have been successively built. These in • elude the Washington Irving, Anglo-American, the Parliamei it, and the Daniel Webster. Two others, the Angle I.Saxon and the Ocean Monarch, have un fortunate] ,y met with a melancholy fate ; notwith standing which, however, public confidence in the line has remai fired undminished, and indeed increased to so remunera Ling a degree that this new and splendid clipper sh ip, the Staffordshire, has been built to supply the requirements of the augmented commerce between Boston an ,d Liverpool. The betst judges pronounce that, besides being the largest an ,t 1 most magnificent, the Staffordshire will prove the swiftest packet ship of all those engaged in the Atlan tic trade. She has three decks, is of 1,900 tons hurt! ten, is 240 feet over all on deck, has 41 feet breadth o ! beam, is 29 feet deep from the upper deck, and will I se commanded by Captain A. H. Brown, late of the t packet ship Parliament. The harmony of the proportions of the Staffordshire has been carried out to pei .fection. Every line and moulding, from the planking of her sides to her moulding rail, swell and taper with an ease and beauty that seem to defy com parison. Her water lines are slightly concave, and her ends iiharp. The angle of her bow at the lead displacem rnt line is 18 degrees, and of her stern 20; her greate sit breadth of beam is nearly amidships ; her bow is at once bold and beautiful, and her general contour s c easy and graceful that the most fastidious nautical C 1 itic would find it difficult to suggest an improvement. The sailors' quartks are below for ward; th are is a spacious house abaft the foremast, 40 feet 1, )ag, 16 feet wide, and Gi feet high, besides coinmodics as cabins and state-rooms most elegantly fitted up ;, and the latest improvements are introduced into ever: r department of this queen of the Atlantic sailing cr RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE READING, GUILDFORD, AND REIGATE. Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this, company was held at their offices, 2, Royal Exchange-buildings, City ; Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P. chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, the Chairman opened the business of the day by reading the report, a sum mary of which has already appeared in our columns. He next proposed its adoption in-a few words, re marking that it afforded no materials for a speech, but that if the shareholders found in it any subject for inquiries, he should be happy to give the necessary replies. Accordingly, in answer to a proprietor, he stated that the expense of the last half-year had been larger than it probably would be for the future, in conse quence of their having given to the late secretary 2001. on his retiring ; and in answer to Mr. Levy, that they were in no way connected with any ex panses that the South-Eastern might incur. The chairman further explained that under the articles of their agreement with the South- Eastern, an Act of Parliament was to be applied for within two years, the purpose of which was to be the completion of the amalgamation of the two companies ; that at present the South Eastern were faithfully carrying out their contract and paying their rent; that a Mr. Thompson of that company had thought fit to bring this into Chancery, to test the legality of the lease between the two; that between this gentleman's solicitor and theirs (the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate) there had been a correspon dence ; that this had ended, as between them and Mr. Thompson, in a willingness on his part to stop proceedings, they paying their own expenses ; that there was an objection in the possibility that the South-Eastern would not so concede ; and that at any rate, under any circumstances, Mr. Thompson seemed to have very little chance of success in his undertaking. Mr. GASKILL asked how the carrying out of the amalgamation would affect their position and claim with respect to the South-Eastern ? Should they remain creditors or become partners ? Could they do anything in the matter ? The CLTAIRMAN reminded the proprietors that the Bill would be referred to them before it went into Parliament, and that that would be the time for a dis cussion upon it. He then answered that they would become preference shareholders, and observed that, in proportion to their " take," the South-Eastern were the company with the smallest amount of fixed en gagements he knew; their average take might be 15,0001. a week; their fixed engagements not above 80,0001. or 90,0001. a year. Mr. LEVY did not see any necessity for eight di rectors. He did not think there was work for two. The CHAIRMAN said that, though there might not remain much work, there was still much responsi bility. The report was then adopted. The next resolution proposed a dividend f o r th e half year of 9s. 9d. a share, exclusive of income-tax. It was carried. The usual complimentary votes were then passed, and the meeting dispersed. GREAT NORTHERN.—The Islington end of the tunnel is now completed, and presents a very noble and handsome appearance. The cutting under the course of the Regent's-canal is being rapidly pro ceeded with, and nearly the whole of the iron girders required have been tested and fixed. A large num ber of workmen are at present engaged in laying the concrete for the boundary wall for the station at King's-cross, which is to be completed forthwith. SHREWSBURY AND ITEREFORD.—NegOtiatiOUS are being actively carried on with the landowners in the course of this new line of railway for the purpose of facilitating the worka, and it is understood that the contractors are prepared to bind themselves to the sum specified by the engineers of the company. MILITARY REVIEW AT EDINBURGII.—On Saturday, which fortunately happened to be one of the most beautiful days of the season, a military spectacle of the usual charac ter took place in the Queen's Park. The 33d Regiment from the Castle, the Enniskillen Dragoons from Piershill, and the Ariillery from Leith Fort, in presence of General Riddell, went through a brilliant series of evolutions to the infinite delight of the crowd of spectators which had assembled on the occasion. —,Edinburgh 4dvertiser. N'AVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE :CHID NAVAL AIDE-DE-CAMP TO TEE QUEEN.- --The third new appointment of naval aide de-camp t o the Queen is that of Sir Charles Hotham, K.C.B. The gallant officer has served afloat twenty years, oh c gat the same time as Commander M'Murdo, who sery ed under him on the coast. The following is O'By r ne's illustration of the ex-commodore's career This officer entered the navy Nov. 6, 1818 ; az i d on the night of May 23, 1824, when mid shipman of the Naiad, 46, Captain Hon. Robert Spencer, served in the boats under Lieut. Michael Quin at the gallant destruction of a 16-gun brig, moored i a a position of extraordinary strength along side the walls of the fortress of Bona, in which was a garrison of about 400 soldiers, who, from cannon and musket, 'kept up a tremendous fire, almost perpendi cularly, tus the deck. He was made lieutenant Sept. 17, 1825, in the Revenge, 76, flag-ship of Sir Harry Burrard :Neale in the Mediterranean ; and next ap pointed May 15, 1826, to the Medina, 20, Captain Timothy Curtis and William Burnaby Greene, on the same stt ttion ; and Dec. 8, 1827, and July 26, 1828, as first, t o the Terror and Meteor bombs, Captains William. Fletcher and David Hope. As a reward for his distinguished exertions on the occasion of the vrreck of the Terror, Mr. Hotham was pro moted by the Lord High Admiral to the rank of commander August 13, 1828. After an interval of half-pay be obtained an appointment in March 17, 1840, to the Cordelia, 10, and returned to the Medi terranean, whence he ultimately came home and was paid off in October, 1833, having been raised to post rank on the 28th of the preceding Jane, in compli ment to the memory of his uncle, the late Vice- Admiral Hon. Sir Henry Hotham, G.C.8., G.C.AI.G. His next appointment was November 25,1842, to the Gorgon, steam-sloop, stationed on the south - east coast of America. In November, 1845, having as sumed the command of a small squadron, be ascended the River Parana, in conjunction with a French naval force under Captain Trehourt, and on 20th of that month, after a hard day's fighting, succeened in effecting the destruction of four heavy batteries belonging to General Rosas at Punta Obligado, also of a schooner of war carrying 6 guns, and of 24 vessels chained across the river. Towards the close of the action he landed with 180 seamen and 145 marines, and accomplished the defeat of the enemy, whose numbers had originally consisted of at least 3,500 men, in cavalry, infantry, and artillery, an, whose batteries had mounted 22 pieces of ordnance, including 10 brass guns, which latter were taken off to the ships, the remainder being all destroyed. The loss of the British in this very brilliant affair amounted to 9 men killed and 24 wounded. In acknowledg ment of the gallantry, zeal, and ability displayed throughout its various details by Captain Hotham, he was recommended in the most fervent terms of admi ration by his Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Sam. Hood Inglefield, in his dispatches to the Ad miralty, and be was in consequence nominated a K.C.8., 9th March, 1846. On 13th May in that year he was employed as Commodore on the coast of Africa, with his broad pendant successively flying in the Devastation and Penelope steamers. " While Sir Charles Hotham was in the Gorgon, that vessel was blown far on shore in a hurricane at Colonia, and it was only by the most indomitable and procrastinated exertion on the part of himself and his crew that she was saved."

THE GREAT CABLE FOR THE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE. Yesterday the great cable, twentv-four miles long, and destined, when sunk between Dover and Calais, to form the key for electric communication and cor respondence between this country and the European continent, was completed at the works of the Subma rine Telegraph Company, Wapping, the last coil being securely circumflexed at about four o'clock. The occasion furnished an interesting opportunity for observing the rather novel and noticeable proce sses employed in the fabrication of this newly devised agency for international communication as worked out through the medium of gutta percha and the wire rope machine. Entering the factory, situated in the High-street, and which, though a pandemonium of tar, and smoke and steam, has been visited by a number of distinguished individuals, there are two well. constructed wire-rope machines, each about 20 feet high and 15 in circumference, representing a large iron framework in the form of a cupola, with shaft or cylinder in the centre, worked by a steam engine of five horse power. Obedient to the ringing of a bell, a concourse of workmen from the wire-rope works of Messrs. Newell, at Gateshead, took their places round one of the machines employed in the first process. The machine, the action of which is vertical, being set in motion by the steam-engine, the first, or i n t er i or portion of which the composite cable consists, was payed out on to the shaft. This first layer is composed of four electric copper wires, known as the 16-wire gauge, each encased in a covering of gutta percha of a quarter of an inch in diameter. These, placed in the machine, and with the assistance of the manipulators, are twisted and plaited in spiral convolutions in the manner of an ordinary rope or cable round the shaft. The next superincumbent coil to this consisted of hempen yarn previously saturated in a reservoir of prepared pitch and tallow, and in its turn is tight twisted and compressed, impermeably and by steam power, over the gutta percha, with its enclosed cop per wires. This is overlaid again with a series of hempen yarns, five or six in number, and about an inch in diameter, saturated in the pitch and tallow, with ' the view of what the workmen call " worming" the gutta percha. The gutta percha thus protects the delicate wire, and the hempen yarn in addition act s as a cementitious material t o the more perishable gotta percha, which ultimately has thrown over it a coat of mail of galvanised wire. This completes the first process, and the manufacture of the rope in the spiral form is for the purpose of giving flexibi lity. The second process consists in hauling off the cable so far completed, and passing it, in another compartment of the factory, on to another wire rope machine, where the cord is completed, covered over with ten galvanised iron wires, each wire being al e it the thickness of a lead pencil, and known as No. 1 galvanised wire gauge. This galvanised iron sheath ing is to protect and preserve the interior layers from the action of the sea, and the weight is considered to be sufficient to sink the cable ex 74 ecess ita te gravitati.s. The appearance of the cable thus completely encased ia a shining coat of galvanised iron, and divested of tar and dirr, gives it quite a silvery appearance. The coil thus completed is drawn off the machine and draughted out by the men, as sailors haul rope, into the factory yard, where it now remains rolled up into a circle, some five feet in height and twenty feet in circumference, representing a dead weight of 200 tons. In order to test its completeness Mr. C. J. Wollaston, the engineer who conducted the experi ments last year, and who, in conjunction with Mr. T. R. Crampton, has the carrying out of the engineer ing arrangements, fired a fusee, through the 24 miles of electric cable, from one of the batteries in the building. A steamer has been placed at the disposal of the pro moters of the undertaking by her Majesty's Govern ment to convey the cable to Dover. The gutta percha wires have been prepared by the Gutta Percha Company in the most perfect style of insulation, and the whole of the one hundred miles of intended com munication represented by the four wires of twenty four miles each, have been tested and their integrity been found true by Mr. Wollaston, in the Regent's canal. The manufacture of the cable has now been in hand three weeks, the men working night and day ; and it is hoped and expected that the contriv ance will accomplish an answerable end. Few persons are aware of the international value and commercial advantage of completing this last link, the want of which at present detaohes disadvanta geously this country from so many of her European allies, and her own important possessions and depen dencies, and probably this could no t rece i ve stronger illustration than is contained in the representation of the fact, that when the sub-marine telegraph over the English channel is a thing accomplished, there will be uninterrupted telegraphic communication between England and and all the following principal cities and towns of the European Continent to which the tele graph is now completed :—Calais, Paris, Lille, Brus sels, Antwerp, Ostend, Liege, Cologne, Hanover, Bruns wick, Berlin, Frankfort, Liepzic, Dresden, Prague, Breslau, Stettin, Craorow, - Vienna. (Trieste, 1,450 miles departure port for India), Vienna, Milan, and by the end of the month to Turin and Genoa. [ADVERTISEMENT].—THE GREAT EXIIIBITION.--.
