By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta ceous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribntion of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the Judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. EXETER, JULY 19.—Yesterday afternoon, after the early part of the day had been spent in visiting the show-yard, the members and friends of the society, to the number of 2,000 and upwards, assembled in a spa cious pavilion, erected for the purpose at the bottom of Queen-street, to celebrate, in the way most suitable to the habits of Englishmen, the agricultural meeting of 1850 in Exeter. The banquet, which forms an indis pensable part of the society's proceedings, is always an imposing spectacle, but yesterday it took place under cir cumstances of peculiar cc/at. The reception which the citizens of Exeter hadigivenfto their visitors made every one anxious to attend what was, using Cromwell's expression, to be the " crowning mercy" of the occasion; and, moreover, the fame of M. Soyer, the furnisher of the feast, drew many who might other wiie have been indifferent to taste the culinary wonders he had announced his intention to prepare. His bill of fare premised, among other things, " rounds of beef a la Garrick," " a new pudding a /a Exeter," "a baron, with saddle back of beef, a la Magna Charts," and a " grand agricultural trophy of agriculture." It was impossible for farmers to resist such appeals to their local attach ments, their profession, and their patriotism, so that tickets to the dinner were in as great demand as railway scrip during the mania, and at 4 o'clock, the hour when the festivities were to commence, many found themselves unable to gain admission. Every part of the pavilion was filled, but, owing to the judicious arrangement of the committee, there was no overcrowding or confusion, and M. Soyer having managed his share of the pro ceedings with his usu4l ability, the dinner went off in the most satisfactory and successful manner. The chair, behind which was a large transparency of the Royal arms, was of course occupied by the Marquis of Downe shire. The usual loyal toasts were proposed by the Crum max and accepted by the company in a becoming manner. The PRESIDENT then rose and gave " The health of the Foreign Ministers." The Noble Marquis concluded by inviting his Excellency the French Ambassador to acknowledge the toast. His Excellency M. DROUYN DE LHUYS, who was re ceived with loud and enthusiastic cheering, said—My Lords and gentlemen,—l beg leave to respond, both in the name of my colleagues and my own, and to offer you our best thanks for your most welcome toast. I respond with the feeling of gratitude so fully due to your kind reception. Without any pretension to a practical knowledge of the details of agriculture, I have held it in the utmost esteem for its manly and useful pur suits. Even as a passing traveller through this delightful county, so properly called the garden of England, I have had reason to admire and feel the energy displayed by your landlords and farmers, who have rendered increasingly productive the land in proportion with your increasing population.—(Cheers.) I was struck with wonder at the sight of those alterations brought about through the labour of your experimentalists and the researches of your men of science. Whether I con sider your superior breeding of stock, your improved implements of husbandry, your rapid systems of crop. ping, your bold processes of draining and subsoiling— (Flear, hear)—and your happy application of chemical discoveries for remedying the defects or adding to the natural capabilities of your different soils—whether again I behold around me your sturdy Saxon yeomen— (Cheers)—l say again your sturdy Saxon yeomen and their blooming daughters—(Renewed cheering)—when, may I say, did Divine Providence grant a more pro mising land to a more deserving race?—(Continued cheering.) Once more I have the honour to return our thanks for your cordial hospitality, and I beg your leave to couple with the expression of those thanks a toast which, I am sure, will be received well by all of you, the toast of " Success to the Royal Agricultural Society of England."—(Cheers.) The AMERICAN MINISTER sail—My Lords and gen tlemen, I have placed in my hanis a toast which I shall offer with very great pleasure, inasmuch as it relates to the great interests of this country—the whole of this country—inasmuch as to me there is no want of har mony in these interests if properly regulated; and with out touching on any point that could give, or wouLl give, the slightest umbrage, or the slightest ill feeling to any human being at all. Without further remark, I will introduce the toast at once toyou; it is, " Agriculture, manufactures, and commerce."—(Cheers.) A friend as I am to all those interests—believing that the power and the glory and the interests of this country have been promoted by the encouragement of them all—l rejoice that agriculture is first.—(Great cheering.) Gentlemen, I come here not es a foreigner—l come here to claim re lationship, for the first time of my life, to see the farmers of England with my own eyes—(Cheers) — believing that when I saw the farmers of England I saw the back-bone of England.—(Great cheering.) I know too well the history of my ancestors, and of my kindred in England, not to know that the farmers of England have always been loyal and true to the Crown. —(Cheers.) I know history too well, not to know that the battles of England and the glories of England, are indebted to the patriotism, the prowess, and the sacri fices of the farmers of England.—(Cheers.) I come here because my ancestry were all farmers, and English farmers too—and I come here first as the representative of a country whose great material interests are founded in the soil—(Hear)—l come here to pledge to you, and to offer to you, in that kind, in that fraternal feeling that should exist between two great nations, the sympathy and - the kind feelings of the great body of the farmers of the United States of America._ ( cheers.) I come here as their representative, to tell you, and to make you feel and realise, that they feel under great obligations to you for the experiments which you have tried here—which we, being young, and not rich — (A laugh)—are not able to try—while you, baying the capital and skill, and what is more, the science which has been applied to the art in Great Britain, are well able to do it all. When I lock at the state of agricul• ture in 1850, and compare it in England with the state of agriculture in 1820, I am perfectly amazed. I have been overwhelmed to-day. I have heard so much, and have seen so much, that I have not had time to digest it. —(Cheers.) When I look back to this country only 30 Years (and in the annals of time that is but a day). I look to that period when the average production of wheat, I believe, in this realm, was not more than 20 or 22 bushels of wheat to the acre, and now high authorities, of all parties and shades of political opinion, agree that the average produce now is from 24 to 28 bushels to the acre.—(A voice—" 30.") Thirty then, if you please. If it were 40, I should rejoice and thank God for it.—(Cheers.) We of the United States have not the slightest jealousy of the agricultural interest in England.—(A laugh.) We rejoice at every new agri cultural implement you bring out, suitable to your con dition—we rejoice when you can, by the aid of agricul tural chemistry, produce another shear of grass. It has been said that be who can produce two blades of grass where one grew before, is a benefactor to his country. If that be true you are all public benefactors, because you are increasing the product of the nation.—(Cheers.) It is a matter for you and not for me to decide on those great questions which agitate the nation now, fir I do not come here to enter into such discussion. I may be allowed to have my own opinions on them, but those opi nions will never be expressed in Great Britain, so far as regards the internal policy of Great Britain.—(Cheers.) But I tell you the more food you produce—the nearer you supply the necessities of this great people—the more rejoiced I shall be, or the country which I represent.— (Cheers.) With regard to commerce, I apprehend there is not a man within sound of my voice who will not agree with me that commerce, trade, or whatever name you give it, is essential to the prosperity of the agricul tural interest. Commerce has been the great pioneer of civilization, and what country has done as much as this to civilize the world through the instrumentality of com merce? In regard to manufacturers, it would be idle, it would be futile and foolish, for me not to acknowledge) that the manufactures of England—the spindles of Eng land, if you p l ease —have in conjunction with this great and powerful body of men, the agriculturist interests, fought the battles of Great Britain. There is no discre pancy whatever in my judgment in maintaining all those interests which are vital to the prosperity of this nation, and to all great nations—l believe these three interests are identically the same. It is for you to decide how far you may be willing to be dependent on foreign nations for your food.—(Cheers.) This is a question, gentle men, which belongs to the English political constitution, and not to a man representing a great nation on the other side of the Atlantic. This is a question I shall not touch. I do not rise for the purpose of expressing opinions with regard to the internal policy of this groat nation, but I should deem it a misfortune to my own country, and to the world, if anything, whether by the legislation of your own Government, or from any other cause, this mighty nation of Great Britain should lose any portion dbount I Angle - desire spaoxw to o e ns r e in the family of nations. — (Cheers.) Th ere i s room f or us a ll. I should like to seeconapetition amongst liberal, in fact, amongst all nations; o rin th e r i ande, Anglo-Saxon, b be tweenut let it be upon one principle—how t w he e shall advance and diffuse civili za ti on cheers)—which of us shall extend justice to other na tions feebler than ourselves. Education—religion—the Bible—let that competition be which • as to nation will do the most good.—lam happy to state to you on this oc casion that the United Otates is net represented alone by me. I have on my right one of the most dis tinguished statesmen ssf the United Sates, and, what is better, - one of the best and greatest farmers of the United States.—(Cheers, and cries of " Name.") The gentle man is the American Ambassador at Paris, and came here to meet you—(Cheers)—his Excellency William C. Rives, of Virginia. Mr. Rives and myself are not the only representatiees of the United States. I am proud to say that in this room there is a gentleman, one of the greatest breeders of stock, Colonel Morris, the Vice 'resident of the New York Agricultural Associa tion-3 gentleman who has been purchasing the stock of England very largely that we in the western world may improve our own.—(Cheers.) Whatever you may think of those on the other side of the Atlantic, I can only state to you, us their re. presentative, that they are proud of their origin, and rejoice to be descended from Devonshire men., I hope at no distant day, increasing as we do at the rate of a million a year in population—and we rejoice that we do increase—(Clicers)—for we have room enough, and food enough, alai labour enough for all—(Cheers) —I say, I hope at no distant day, that we, your humble cousins, may return to you the farmers of England, to some considerable extent (it must be done by instal ments), the debt that we owe you in the agricultural line, for the improvement that you have made, for the instructions we have received, and the great benefit the whole .country • has derived from sour exhibitions. I beg to thank the president and council for the opportu nity afforded me to-day of being in this old Roman city of Exeter, amid in this renowned county of Devon, distin guished for its rich red soil, its beautiful red cattle, and in olden time far its beautiful red cloaks, cele brated in poetry as well as in prose.—(Cheers.) This is the land of that great and mighty man, Sir Walter Raleigh—(Cheers)—the man who first went to the country of my respected friend, Mr. Rives—a man re nowned English history, and who will live as long as history exists. I cannot sit down without offering my humble thinks to the inhabitant 4 of the city of Exeter, wherein this exhibition lira taken place.—(Cheers.) I think you fortunate in finding a city presenting so much neatness, so much simplicity, so much taste, and so much cheerfulness, that one feels at home the moment one comes here.—(Loud cheers.) It is the first time that I have ever set my foot in the renowned county of Devon. I hope that it will not be the last.—(Loud cheers.) The Earl of CHICHESTER proposed the health of " The Mayor and Corporation of Exeter. The MAYOR of EXETER, in a very spirited and appro priate manner, acknowledged the toast. Lord WeDEHoUsE proposed " The labouring classes of England." There was one circumstance in this country which distinguished it from all countries in the world as regards the condition of its labouring classes. It was that the condition of the labouring classes of this country was, so to speak, universally the condition of labourers for hire. In other countries of Europe there was a large number of peasant proprietors. In France, for instance, he had heard there were not fewer than 4,000,000 of peasant proprietors. In Germany there was a still larger proportion, so that the condition of la bour for hire was a condition of the labouring classes in a manner peculiar to this country. He did not wish to see, or expect to see, this state of things superseded. He ac cepted it as the condition of the labouring classes here, and it had this advantage, that it was peculiar to the carrying on of production on a large scale. R e f err i ng to the physical condition of the labourers, the Noble Lord, from personal experience, declared that their houses were badly constructed, badly ventilated, and badly drained, and that they were crowded together re gardless of decency or cleanliness. He concluded by pointing out the importance of cultivating friendly rela tions between the employer and the employed, and by pronouncing a high eulogium on the energy and fidelity of the labouring classes. The Earl of YARBoItoUGH proposed the health of the President. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. Mr. SILLEFANT gave " The Judges of the Catt!is and Implements," especially mentioning the names of Mr. Lister and Mr. Chamberlain. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, in returning thanks, expressed his great fear-that while the education of labourers' children was now more attended to, that of' the families of small farmers remained very much neglected. He pointed out that, being often situated at a distance from schools, the small farmer could neither afford to keep a tutor nor support his sons in town, and he con cluded his obiervations, which were cordially received in every be. ttazen t o f the avoidpavilion,so g suggesting r b e y atanevi. i that means should Mr. LISTER returned thanks fur the judges of implements. Mr. Chamberlain had said that educa tion was wanted for the sons of tenant-farmers ; but would the landlords excuse him for saying that it was necessary they should be educated too ?—(Loud cheering.) He had fiund in his experience that where a landlord thoroughly understood his business he was a kind and considerate man.—(Cheers.) Now, the great colleges of the country ought to teach their great •people a few more practical lessons than they did. His Excellency Mr. W. C. RIVES, the American Minister at the French Court, proposed " The Great Agricultural Societies of teotland, and Ireland." Sir R. PRICE briefly returned thanks, and The proceeding's terminated with an expression of thanks to the railway companies for their services, which Mr. Bueettn, Chairman of the Bristol and Exeter Com pany, acknowledged. During the biaquet in the pavilion a severe thunder storm, accompanied by torrents of rain, swept over Ex-ter. Thanks, however, to the substantial manner in which the pavilion was constructed by Mr. Manning, the company experienced no inconvenience. It is cal culated that the visitors to the exhibition yesterday amounted to 24,000 or 25,000, and this morning to 7,000 or 8,000, so that altogether the number of spectators on the three days which the show has lasted must be upwards of 40,000. No inconvenience or accident has arisen in connexion with the management of this large mass of people—a circumstance in no small degree due to the presence of a bodyhaoenfdslohtcehieet metropolitan police mforceoTrhn morning underusualt Inspectorthe ei eGeut itmeeting rig A b l ao r ; t this of y customary took p v l ac t h an ks passed to the mayor and corporation of Exeter. EXETER, JULY 20.—T0 all intents and purposes the Great Western Agricultural Festival was over with the conclusion of the Pavilion dinner. Exeter next morning was thinning rapidly, and one by one the flags and arches, which made so gay a show all the week, disap peared. The proceedings at the meeting of the council upon Friday morning were little else than nominal, being confined to passing and recording votes of thanks to all the various classes of officials who were entrusted with the management of the different departments of the show, of mutual wjEAuixsthettaitchneweerxTh g eithi,o,hc c , : eu,h r aesi d grrteothlre w oonea i dpd l and to the local authorities of Exeta. At one o'clock the dinner given to the humbler classes in the Pavilion took place, and the affair went off with the greatest possible eclat, and the most gratifying ex e pressions Indeed, tetpi T e; h etswi esaewepengnatrrdhoesut delightful ndheltneeselaaidagyrs raisedo. heo n wrdt o f:ia u urnael n entd t te e dodre d teotiossndhe t yt o eeee: Paibtnhnegenri mostacc gentlemen ,taheine°al esnmr occasio n . fi potulyfrenished accommodation for a number of ladies a ou t 700 hearty enjoyment visible upon every face engaged in the process. The baron of beef formed the great feature of the entertainment. It was cut into two hugs piles of meat, at one of which M. Soyer presided, and at the other his able coadjutor in the pastry department, Mr. Read, and the rush of plate bearers—for to some extent every man was his own waiter—amply proved that the courage of the guests was not abated by preliminary trifling with fowls and lambs. And so the Baron a la Magna Charta melted like a snow-ball in an oven. After dinner the MAYOR proposed the loyal toasts, and most loyally they -were drunk in beer and cider. The "Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural Society—the founders of the feast," was drank, after which the Mayor passed a high eulogium upon the excellent and orderly conduct of the working well of Exeter during the meeting. The speech was replied to by a working man of the name of Upright, who spoke sensibly, with good taste and feeling, and very much to the purpose. At the conclusion of the proceedings a wish was ex pressed on the part of the guests that they should shake hands with M. Soyer, with whom the notioa of the en tertainment first originated. The Regenerator accepted the proposal with enthusiasm, and, stationing himself at his hand shaken until it was all butthe principal shaken off exit b y , hadthe enthusiastic guests.

The Moniteur publishes the new law on the press, signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The organs of the Elyie3 express great fear lest any independent members of the Assembly should he ap pointed on the committee of 25 appointed to watch over affairs during the prorogation of the Assembly. They are particularly anxious to exclude all Legitimutists and professed and known Republican?, and 'more par ticularly do they desire the exclusion of General LA 310SICIENE. The following from the Constitutzonnel, the orgsn of the Elyfe 1, reads marvelously like a note of preparation from the Empire "Let the Assembly (says the Constitutionnel) reflect. Let it consider the advantages which the opposition party have contrived to derive from the condemnation of the director of the Pouvoir. It has been said and repeated that it was not merely a journal which was aimed at. It is declared that such condemnation had a more lofty direc tion. These we feel, assured are calumnies. Surely the Assembly could not in presence of the incessant war di rected by the Red party against society itself, think of putting itself in an attitude of hostility towards the Presi dent of the Republic. It is nevertheless true that the jour nals of the opposition have not ceased this condemnation as directed •against the Elysee. Now, if under such circum stances the Assembly should nominate a Committee of Pro rogation, composed of such a list of names as has been cir culated, will not this consequence ensue, that these rumours of a smouldering hostility between the powers of the state would take a certain consistency and sow new agitations in the country." On Saturday evening the Government received a tele graphic.dispatch, stating that the Queen of SPAIN was proceeding favourably. The National, however, states that the gravest fears are entertained for her MAJESTY'S safety. In the Assembly, on Saturday, the Minister of Fo reign Affairs stated, in answer to M. NAPOLEON BONA PARTE, that a refuge would be afforded in France to CERMISCIII, from the persecutions of the Papal Govern ment. He also stated that the Roman Consistory was engaged in preparing the laws promised in the motu proprio. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 20.

The Patria has been seized for an article on the Pa lace question; and General PAvis, the proprietor of the journal, has been arrested and sent off to the Canary Islands. Severs priests have been arrested, charged with being engaged in a Carlist conspiracy. The Gaceta publishes a decree, imposing additional restrictions on the Press. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 16.—The Funds were feeble, Three per Cents., 32i. GERMANY. The Magyar Hirlop of Pesth contains the following declaration from General HAYNAII : . . :‘ The Gazette of the empire of Austria seeks to assign, with a pen dipped in poison, the motives which have determined the Council of Ministers to insist with his Majesty on my beinc , dismissed from the post of Commander-in-chief and Governor of Hungary. It reproaches me with not having obeyed the Govern ment, with not having comprehended my mission, with having attributed to myself the prerogatives of the Crown, with having acted arbitrarily, and with having exercised the privilege of pardoning without respect for the Crown. In repelling, in the most formal manner, these perfidious insinuations, I think it my duty, in the conviction of my loyal intentions, and in the sentiment of respect and obedience due to his Majesty, which I have never failed in during a career of fifty years, to declare before the whole world, that in all my acts I have had for guide only the interest of the state— that I never exercised the right of grace, whichis the privilege of sovereignty, except in the name of the Emperor, my master, and within the limits which he had traced out, and according to the principles of justice and in appreciating the circumstances. The extraordinary powers conferred on me by the Sovereign were with drawn only by an autograph letter of the 6th of July last, which I received on the 7th, and by which his Ma jesty placed me on the retired list. Consequently, I can see, in the attacks made on the loyalty of the cha racter of a man who like me grappled with the efforts of the revolution at the root, only an attempt to favour the democracy, and to again place in doubt the existence of monarchy, for whioh so many , faithful soldiers have shed their blood. By this justification, I declare that I will not give any other explanation through the press; and that I return to private life, after having been represented by the author of that defama tory article as a second Belligarius, without, however. his being able to deprive me of sight, and without his having the power, though surrounded with the party of disorganization, to see me forced by want to beg my bread conducted by my only daughter. (Signed) " ITATNItr." General ITAYNAU, in taking leave of the army, pub- lished an order of t1;0 day in which, after having con gratulated the soldiers] fur the bravery, and thanked the officers of all grades for the exactitude with which they have executed his orders, he adds:— . " Soldiers.—ln bidding you adieu, I feel convinced that our beloved Emperor can always, in any new dan ger, reckon on your devotedness. Peace does certainly at the present moment exist, and it alone can heal up the wounds inflicted on our country by the unheard-of efforts of a party of odious disorganization, but it is not yet confirmed, and the horizon of states and nations is still charged with meancing clouds, whence might issue tem pests of a still more violent character than those which we have witnessed. You must hold yourselves always ready; for the tranquillity, order, and grandeur of the monarchy are confided to your fidelity, valour, and dis cipline, and you will not have fulfilled the task confided to you by our Emperor and master, until you have ensured to the country the durable enjoyment of these blessings." A letter from Frankfort, of the 14th instant, in the Suabiun Mercury, states that the Plenipotentiaries of the German Congress held two sittings the day before. The subject of the deliberation was dispatches brought by a courier from Vienna to Count TRUN and contain , ing, it is said, the definitive result of the negotiations which have taken place between the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin on the German question. It is now believed, the letter states, that the entrance of the Russian ple nipotentiaries and of the other states of the Union to the congress will not meet with any difficulty. In the Second College of Princes at Berlin, on the 16th, M. DE LYDoW was selected second Prussian Ple nipotentiary at Frankfurt, with M. DE RADOWITZ• The proposition of Prussia for the prolongation of the pro visional iti;ime was adopted unanimously, minus Nas sau and kiaxe Altenburg, the assent of which is still expected. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Cologne Gazelle contains a letter from Hamburgh of the 17th, stating that on that day a blockade of the port of Kiel was to commence without any preliminary notice. " The Danish men-of-war," says the letter, " have captured several commercial vessels. The com mander of the Skiold has given notice to the Consuls at Kiel that the port could be speedily blockaded without previous warning. The last Swedish vessels left on the 16th." On the evening of the 17th a corps of 2,000 Danes entered Flensburg, and on the morning of the 18th a slight skirmish took place between the outposts near Bilschau. The Danes have also crossed over in force from Alsen, and taken possession of the heights of Dup poll, in the Sunderwitt. A serious collision between the armies was expected every day. The Danish fleet kepf up a vigorous blockade of the Schleswig-Holstein b arbours. ITALY. The C'onservatore Coctituzionale of Florence, of the 13th, a semi-official journal, states that the POPE will. on Ist August, proclaim the new institutions promised by the motu proprio of Sept. 12. It adds that this result is to be ascribed to the preponderating influence of Car dinal ANTONELLI. The Giornale di Roma of the 11th contains the fol lowing paragraph in its official part:—" We are autho rised to declare that the Holy Father never invited Lord MINTO to Italy." The Osservatere Romano of the 11th states that about thirty Swiss officers beloeging to foreign regiments, formerly in the service of the Holy See, are expected from Bologna to be incorporated in the Papal body guard. Count BOUTENIEFF, Minister Plenipotentiary of Rus sia to the Holy See, arrived at 'Naples on the 6th. re-doingt t but really as t a b n e s Nbvaeirrs forgrows, all [ADVERTISEMENT.] —THE ATRAIPILATORY, Ll equtru s H : t a n l d does Dv E DYE.—The as it never fades or acquires t hat unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes.

In consequence of the medical and other testimony adduced at his trial, Sir George Grey was induced to direct a medical examination of the prisoner, and the result has been the r ecommendation for his confinement in the infirmary. Pate is st very delicate state of health. He emplo ate ysd his to be i time n a by writing letters in di ff erent languages. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wedneiday the 17th, the Copyhold En franchisement Bill, and Landlord and Tenant (Ire land) Bill, " dragged their slow length along" through a few contortions towards whatever may be their end. The Smoke Prohibition Bill puffed out, and vanished for the present. On Thursday, the Mercantile Marine Bill was fur ther considered in Committee ; a Bill which must be watched with considerable interest in the maritime quarter of your town, which is at Hull. It is very probable there is a good deal which wants mending, and the Bill may mend it. But it would be much im proved by more demonstration of holding the balance fairly between the contending parties of shipowner and seaman. When some insertions were proposed in this direction, objection was made from official quarters, that the object of the Bill was to improve the discipline of the seamen ; and yet the very , part where the additions were proposed, was one giving a remedy against masters and mates in case of miscon duct extending to endangering life or limb. Man or boy may be seriously injured, and perpetually have been, without either life or limb being found absent on the inquest. All this is ill-devised; for no better way could be discovered of exciting resistance to a law, than giving it the appearance of being directed all to one side, and leaving the other side to get remedy where they can find it. Some important but considerably intricate pro ceedings took place on the subject of a Royal Com mission of Inquiry into the state of the Universities and Colleges of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin. The " boys that don't like to be washed" of course mustered strong, and dwelt vigorously on all the arguments which can be supposed to proceed from people in their unhappy condition. There must be a great deal of dirt, where there is such terrible appre hension of soap and water. How earnest this appre hension is, may be collected from the fact that many of the particular Colleges' administer an oath to their members, that they will divulge nothing they can help. The wording of it may be different in different places, but this is the spirit of the bond. Of course the House was pathetically implored to reflect upon the cruelty, of trying to make inquiry where men were sworn not to divulge. It would be interesting to know, what would be the inferences drawn, and what the conduct of the law, if this case of conscience was set up in other places where inquiry was by public opinion called for. If men will put them selves into questionable positions by binding them selves by suspicious-looking oaths, there is no stop ping the tide of human inferences, or quarrelling with the results. After the debate had been continued for a long time on the motion of the original proposer, for an Address praying that a Commission might be issued, a motion for adjournment was made and withdrawn, and then an Amendment proposed, to the effect that the issuing of such a Commission would " tend to a violation of the Laws and Constitution of the King dom, and of the rights and liberties of her Majesty's subjects." So that it is plain the unwashed take high ground. This Amendment being also finally , withdrawn, motion was made for adjournifig the de bate ; which was carried by 160 against 138. The explanation of all this for the benefit of the unlearned, appears to be that the Government means to act on what it maintains to be the ascertained right of the Crown, without waiting for an Address from Parliament at all ; and therefore wanted the motion out of the way. The sticklers against inquiry, stand much on the resistance made to certain inquiries with totally op posite purposes, attempted in the time of James the Second of unhappy memory. Entirely overlooking the fact, that on that occasion public opinion was against the purposes, and now it is with. Samson with or without his locks, is but an imperfect type of the difference between the cases. _ The Attorneys stoutly hold their ground, though on one point they had only a majority of 105 against 103, so that a single vote given the other way would have floored them. The thing is a good in one way if no other ; which is, in its being a step towards forcing the finance department of the Government into laying the taxes upon property as they ought to be. _ _ _ _ On Priday at twelve o'clock, more of the Mercan tile Marine Bill. At five the motion for a grant to the Duke of Cambridge. The Amendment for re ducing the grant from twelve thousand to eight, was supported by 53 against 205 ; and the subsequent motion for making the grant ten thousand, by 55 against 177. It is not impossible that a proposal for ten thousand might have been carried without a divi sion, if the two parties had previously communicated. A long and lively debate on a vote for the Coast of Africa, including ten thousand pounds for the pur chase of the Danish forts and settlements there, was concluded by a division in favour of the proposal of the Government, of 138 against 42 I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, July 22, 1850. REASONS IN SUPPORT OF SIR W. VERNER'S MOTIONS RELATIVE TO THE PETITIONS AND PRINTED PAPERS :- WATERFORD, WEX., WICK, AND DUB. RAILWAY. These motions are unaffected by, and do not affect, any Chancery suits or other litigation, which relate only to the payment of calls, and not to the abuse and defeat of Parlia mentary powers—the public interests—the privilege and dignity of the House and its Members—gross and. un paralleled impositions on Parliament—complained of, and sought to be inquired into. The motions are unaffected by any private " resolutions" of the parties complained of to " wind up the company," but which are not enforceable, nor satisfactory— or other than delusive. ~........... The directors have, pending these notices of motion, withdrawn their Bill" from Parliament, but expressly " without prejudice to these motions ;" they thereby de prived the petitioners of the power to establish their grievances before the usual Committee, after delaying them nearly the whole session. First. The petitions presented on the sth and 9th July, on behalf of nearly all the genuine shareholders, are signed by men of the highest respectability and position—they pray for an investigation, and remedies, for very gross practices and abuses by persons who are at the same time directors of the three W.'s., the South Wales, and the Great Western Railways, and Members of the House. The allegations in these petitions are distinct from those in the printed petitions Nos. 777 and 903, and the printed papers No. 297. They call for the special interposition of Parlia ment, with reference, (1.) To the public interests involved, and the defeat of a public measure sanctioned by Parliament. (2.) To the character and dignity of the House and its privileges. (3.) To the impositions on Parliament and the public, and the abuse of Parliamentary power and trust fraudulently . obtained, and under which gross iniquities have been perpe trated. (4.) The abstraction of documents (material against the not e te s ,tabhneelslBi aree4 s v 6 e a n n s ae e directors) from the offices of this House. (5.) To the proceedings of the "Commissioners of Rail ways." (6.) To the necessity for remedial measures for the better protection of public interests. ABUSE OF POWERS, &c. The line was projected in 1845-100 miles-150,0001. has been collected and all expended—not three miles of line are half-finished, and now abandoned altogether. The share holders are reduced from 100,000 shares to less than 20,000 in responsible hands—not 50 out of 1,300 holders support the directors—thus a public project defeated by the directors' acts.—( Vide P.

A similar course of concocted signers to the deeds- ficti tious deposits—and packed meetings—was pursued to defeat the Parliamentary "resolutions," impose on Parliament, and obtain incorporation. Third. The absence of documents from the Journal Office demands a fair investigation—those documents are material to the shareholders against the directors, and were in use against them. It appears from printed papers 297 (ques. 112 and 175), that search for them was made by Mr. Dickenson 1 A copy had, however, been secured before the lots. An attempt t was s made (Papers page 19) to impeach that copy; yet llast i of the been proved fur the last four months before the faster d Rolls—and no attempt by the company to impeach or eny was offered. its existence there, though the opportunity d to the loss • Inquiry was made at the bar of the Lor ° of as ' but it is due to the parties—to the officers this House— ; and to the better protection of the public intereate—to have resortedu said—"cc ohf parties a The Papers (pages 32, &c.) show them in weekly commu nication with the party of whom they afterwards com plained, calling upon him " for written statements of facts preparatory to an interview " with the cornmitteee of share holders—that they had the " Return " (which was ques tioned in the Lords), with other statements—well knew he represented opposing shareholders—and , retainedthat Return, for seven weeks, during which they were in communication with him—never asked any explanation of said Return—nor complained thereof to him—but after communication with his opponents who made a " Return " to them—the Com missioners, with his opponents, went to the House of Lords and complained of said " Returns " as " calculated " to mis lead them "as to who it emanated from," &c. The Papers and Letters (pages 32-5) amply show, that this was most unjust—that the Commissioners were not misled—that the directors used them to injure the petitioners, and to forward their views and schemes of injustice. The Commissioners have never granted or offered the sought-for interview for which the papers were celled. These allegations in the papers call specially for interfer ence, inquiry, and relief.
