A brief account of this painful case, in which a young woman named Maria Stewart was charged, on her own confession, with the murder of her two ille gitimate children, was published in The Sun of Mon day. The following particulars have since tran spired : It had been incorrectly represented that the priso ner moved in a somewhat superior station in life, the fact being that her uncle, with whom she was pre viously living, is a brickmaker, at Cockfield, near Bury ; nor is the rumour, stating that the father of her cbildren was "an ex'ensive landowner in Suffolk," more accurate; the person with whom the prisoner carried on an illicit connexion being, in fact, a la bourer, the son of a farmer at Cockfield, where Maria Stewart lived. The wretched woman's confession of her crime was made on Wednesday last, in the county gaol, Bury, in the presence of the Rev. N. Hallward, the magis trate, who attended at the gaol to take the depositions of the witnesses, the Rev. R. Jeffreys, rector of Cock field, and Mr. Macintyre, the governor of the gaol. The evidence was taken in the cell where she was confined once her commitment, and where, on ac count of her mental excitement, it had been found ne cessary to place her under restraint. The confession referred to, which was, in the first instance, made to police-constable Benham when apprehended by him on Wednesday last, was stated by the witness in the following terms :—She said—" It is a fortnight to-day 61 , n , c e • d was born ?" I asked her if it was b orn a- said, "Yes, it was; it was a fine little gir ' l; "'Airter it was born it cried and sucked its fingirs, g etty dear." And then in a lamentable kind of way she said, "Bless the dear child I I cried over it, and did not know what to do with it. I asked her what time on the Wednesday was the child born. She said, " It was born about nine o'clock in the morning, and was alive in the afternoon, when I laid hands on it, held it to my breast, and let it suck. It began to m ca u c s k t le k , ialindit.l tlhosiupgthtmsyome would bear it, and that I nippedmight grthetr anddthi ee easy. tieda throatsy or. wli put th k it ntmg d deyrtsch overhi child. h . e I k mouth, e p t t a and theeannde c t lk h , e n so took a that it y should not have a fathe t r leyrd f h o ofiati r ain because thought I tyy.bletasuntiailkMeno,n_dway,,n,aorning, the morning of the lodge. It is the sencotndfbalifildifttteler 441 u hs r "i fer e d itl 7 lll I strangled them both. rst child, I prayed to God, and told him if he forgav e me I would not do so again. But I have, and if I pray to him again he will not bear me." The evidence of police-constables Hoggar and Card well, who apprehended the prisoner, was also taken. To the latter she said, when apprehended, "I sup pose you have come after me. Have you been to my house ? I expected you to come for me. 1 shall be sure to be hung." The child was found buried in the middle of her uncle's lodge, and on Sunday morn ing the constable Cardwell went to a place named by the prisoner, and found the remains of the skeleton of a child about a foot underground ; be took them up, and delivered them to Mr. Image, surgeon, of Bury. The evidence of Mr. Image was distinctly to the effect that the child was born alive, had lived sew zed hours, and had taken nourishment, viz., milk. There were patches of decomposition on the side of the mouth and the anterior part of the neck; the left eye was engorged with blood and projected. He had no doubt that the child died from suffocation ; the bones after wards produced were those of a full• grown infant that had been buried for a length of time. Although at first tolerably composed during the statement of the police-constable relative to the con fession made by her, she became afterwards greatly agitated ; and, apparently losing all control over her feelings, she repeatedly confessed her crime—assert ing, however, that her uncle was wholly ignorant of her guilt. When the evidence was subsequently read over to her, she said in a feeble voice, so as to be heard by the governor of the gaol only—"I buried the child in the lodge, having strangled it with my garter, and n )body knew anything about it but myself.' The local paper (the Bury Post) gives the following con clusion of this melancholy scene : Mr. Hallward having taken this statement down in writing, read it over to her, and inquired if that was what she said. She replied, Yes, it was quite right.' Being asked if she would like to put her hand to the statement, she said, Yes,' and being raised in the bed, her hands, which had been confined to prevent the possibility of her doing herself any in jury, were released, and a pen was handed to her but the effort was too much, and she became so greatly distressed that Mr. Macintyre laid her head again upon the pillow, and by kindness of manner, and by assuring her that she need not sign it unless she liked, sought to soothe her mind. Becoming somewhat more composed, she renewed her wish to sign the paper, and was egain held up for that pur • pose. But again her strength or her resolution failed her. She gazed wildly round the cell, and then with a convulsive heave burst into a fit of raving which too painfully showed that reason had given way under the bitter agony of remorse and the conflict of excited passions. At first she fancied the father of the child to be before her, and heaping curses on the vil lain' as the murderer of her child, threatened to in flict upon him personal injury, and to tear his hair from his head, being with difficulty prevented from suiting the action to the word on her own fevered bead. Then, as the situation of her u nc l e came b e f ore her disordered imagination, she gave utterance to her feelings of gratitude for past kindness, and again and again earnestly protested his innocence. At one mo • ment the fear of the justice of her Creator was before her in all its horrors ; and then, as the feeling of ma ternity overpowered all others, she would hug the infant of her fancy to her breast, and nestling it within her arms and bowed head, amid a flood of tears, give vent to all a mother's fondness. It was a sad—a terrific scene, this couch of a self-accused murderess." Since the examination at the gaol, at which the above evidence was given, the prisoner has been much calmer, and apparently easier in her mind than for souse days after her committal, when she was greatly agitated, and at times deranged. 9, inl4 19, i / kug, .0, 0" Aug' 25s1$ N°.18,435.] LONDON, THURSDAY STV 7 -gam OCTOBER 23, 1851. 7 [PRICE SD. ralt# The GREAT EXHIBITION and the ROYAL POLYTECHNIC TIIE SAFFRON IVALDEA AGRICUL- TURAL ASSOCIATION. entirely.—(Laughter.) If we lay out our lands for the purpose of raising animals, we go back, in fact, to the old pastoral system. You know well that if that course were to be pursued you would bring the country rapidly back to the pastoral system; but I should like to know how under such a system is our commercial system to b e ma i n t a i n ed, and bow the farmer is to meet the ex p ense o f c h a nging from one crop to another, even suppo s i ng th a t he could find a favourable market ? The Noble Lord proceeded to argue that if the farmers could find a ready market for their.flax, and mills were erected in their neigh bourhood, they might gradually attempt to introduce the change ; but that the consequence of the cessation of the growth of wheat in this country must tend to render it dependent upon the foreigner, and even tually to place it in a position of slavery. He re sumed his seat amid much cheering. Major BERESFORD returned thanks for the county Members. Other toasts having, been drunk the meeting 'separated. curing the assistance of lecturers or others, and by expositions of a public character. But it had been ' found necessary, and it was the natural way of beginning in all societies of that kind, to hold discussiong, and he considered, in spite of their dangerous tendency when improperly conducted, that when conducted with ordinary caution they were the very life-blood of such a society as that. It was io this way the Royal Society began the Exhibition— it was just in the same way the Institution of Civil Engineers went on and most successfully ; he might allude to the Astronomical and Geological Societies, and many others. He considered, therefore, that this was one of the most important points in the practice —the daily practice of a society like that ; at the same time everybody would see that it required the greatest caution and attention to the rules of the society, as well as the exercise of good nature, to pre vent it being injurious to the members.—(Hear, hear.) After having made the general remanks, he must join in the congratulations which other members had ex pressed to the meeting of their lodgment in that most excellent room—it was positively one of the best rooms he bad seen in his life.— (Hear, hear.) He could wish some of the oldest established societies in London had anything a quarter so good. In speak ing of all those advantages which might be possessed by an institution of that kind, replete by the powers of its organization, and the convenience it_ had for a meeting, he must not delight them by supposing they had secured all ; after all, this WAS like a skeleton without life.—(Hear, hear.) The ex istence of the institution and its success would depend not only upon its having a large body of people met together, or its having a good room, or in having an able set of officers, but upon the individual exertioue of the members—(Hear, hear)—and it was in that that the vitality of the society would consist. And he would warn every member that, in joining that institution, he ought to pledge himself to do every thing in his power individually, and it was only in that way that the institution could hope for a long and successful life. Now, having stated that, he had merely to express his hope, which he thought was one which would be expressed by the officers of the so ciety, that meeting in good humour for the purposes contemplated in the original formation of the institu tion, these means might be made use. of which he had spoken, that by the formation of a.library, and the use of it also, and by the collecting means of infor mation from lectures, from compositions, from dis cussions in various ways, and by attention to them, the individual studies of the members of the institu tion would go on and prosper, and that the oral dis cussion which might take place in that room might progress with spirit and good temper; and having wished this he thought he had wished all that he could wish, for he thought he had embodied the means which they all desired for the success of the institu tion.—(The Learned Professor resumed his seat amidst much applause.)—Essex Herald. amount of 589/. ; in the eastern division of West minster, to the amount 3561. ; in the western divi sion, to the extent of 741.; in Finsbury, to the amount of 2571.; and in other minor districts to the amount of 1201.

SAFFRON WALDEN, OCT. 22.—The anniversary of this association was celebrated this evening in this town, the early part of the day having been devoted to the purely agricultural purpose of distributing silver and gilt cups to the most successful breeders of stock, and pecuniary rewards to the most dexterous operators in the. minor branches of the agricultural science, such as ploughing, &c. The dinner took pllce in the evening, at the Museum, when Lord Braybrooke took the chair, supported by Earl Hard wicke, Earl Romney, Major Beresford, M.P., Mr. W. Miles, M.P., the Rev. Dr. Whewell, Master of Tri nity College, Cambridge; Mr. H. Bullock, Mr. S. Jones, and other gentlemen. After the usual loyal toasts bad been drunk, Major BERESFORD, M.P., proposed the health of " The four Lord-Lieutenants of the counties of Hert fordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Huntingdon shire," coupling with the toast the name of the. Earl of Hardwicke. _ _ _ S. d. 1 1 1 9 2 2 2 6 3 6 GAROTTE ROBBERY IN LIVERPOOL. At the,Liverpool Police -court yesterday, John Bar rington, a well-known character, a returned convict, was brought up, charged with having stolen 2301. from Mr. Livingston, the celebrated cotton-broker. The prisoner only returned from transportation about a fortnight ago; and, from the statement made by Detective-Inspector Bates, it appears that, on the Bth instant, the night before the Queen's visit, the prose cutor, Mr. Livingston, had been assaulted and robbed, just before entering his house in Bold-place, by some men, who cut away his pocket, and stole from him a silver lever watch, a bill of exchange for 1871. Bs., a Bank of England note for 100/., and two others for 201. each. Since that time the inspector had been in search of the thieves, and his suspicions, from pro fessional knowledge, fell upon the prisoner, who had just returned from transportation. He ascer tained that he (the prisoner) had taken a beer house in Bronte-street, off Russell-street. On the day previous he (Bates) took with him two other detec tive officers, Murphy and Lloyd. They went to the place, and told the prisoner that they had come to search the house. Lloyd fastened the door, and they commenced the search. When they came to the pigeon-cote one of the birds flew out, and the. prisoner said, " Stop! there , is' stioney there." Wib64ltt his hand there, and pulled out eleven seiereigni.' In a bag mixed up with pigeon dirt he found a silver lever-watch, which had since been identified by Mr. Liiingston as that stolen from him. The prisoner, when brought to the office, denied the charge. Murphy, another of the detective officers, said that they received information that the prisoner had left 801. with Mrs. Hume, a publican, in Whitechapel. Since the Bth instant the prisoner had called and got 401., and the other 401. was handed over to him (witness). oc. ott,o , ft• ',o6f s. d. 2 3 6 2 18 4 4 5 0 6 13 4 E. R.

Mrs. Hume corroborated the testimony of the sergeant as to the prisoner leaving 801. in her custody. Mrs. M'Croly deposed to having let the beer-house to the prisoner Barrington. A deposit of 31. was paid on the day of taking, and 111. more on the Fri day following. Mr. Livingston identified the watch, and stated that on the Sth inst., when within a few yards from his own house, he was attacked by three men. One seized him by the throat, another held him by the arm, and the third, whom he recognised as the pri soner, came in front of him and attempted to pull down his trousers. Failing in this, the prisoner took a knife and cut away the left-hand pocket, and stole the money stated. He (the prisoner) also dragged away prosecutor's watch. The thieves then effected their escape. The prisoner, when in Bridewell, denied that he had deposited any money with Mrs. Hume, and said he knew nothing whatever of the robbery. He was committed for trial. The proceedings ex cited much interest. li ist kGzcip t 1,14,1)04 Idae,stxo n i- CENT NT CEREMONY OF 444 :04 11 terum 1 GREAT EXHIBITION. eth re , At t h rolo e , e taAe the I ndustrial Exhibition and its effects Vt 4ll j ta tiet,.._ 644 , ll tsit, °Rn_that Providence which seems to have at latNoteetwitt (tool !t1 Y an accident or an offence has oc tlorN4l4lgollenld lebolTeos been that the most sanguine of its la u tll effeei;J s ady t o th!",e exceeded, and the vent- of o i n t e s e aterl4 l.4 4 „,, - t zni b e recaorraonlance of history on accon a n th0 %1 41/o liaje ß World. to2Nect i 4 tando ot Y r anci the by posterity to Tarv a e s l th t e a o s p the no . lose was as a en -467* the ' l t aik, i eagons forr : e 3: al at the success of projector will, as PY long as they I o z; 5, ni ,,,,, 01 .wo ri l „, eDortun o ir 4 , h not onlys to their subjects tit ti ;l7h„„are, a liu t biaevorarthat Great Y ltrita a in g and their Queen are to ld e gal .

MASONIC BANQUET TO LIEUT.-GENE- RAG SIR C. J. NAPIER. A grand masonic banquet was given at Portsmouth, on Tuesday evening, at the Queen's Rooms, to Lieut.- General Sir Charles James Napier, G.C.8., by the brethren of the three lodges of that town, viz. —The Pheanix, 319 ; Royal Sussex, 428 ; and Ports • mouth, 717. The chair was occupied by Lord George Lennox, P.M., and there were 110 brethren present. Previous to the banquet a lodge was opened, when Sir Charles Napier was introduced to the brethren present, and an address presented to him. To this Sir Charles returned the following reply : " Worshipful Sir and Brethren,—l am gratified in the highest degree by the address with which you have honoured me ; but I fear that your kind feelings have set an over-value on my small services to the State. My greatest merit, if merit it be, has been my devotion to the service; but one who served under such commanders as Moore and Wellington would be base indeed were he deficient in that virtue !

"With regard to the conquest and the government of Sinde, my only boast is that I was able to execute the orders which I received from the Governor- General of India, and thus to win, not only the ap probation, but the friendship of Lord Ellenborough. That Earl, gifted by nature with a military genius, had experience in the Government of India before he went to that country, and these two advantages pro duced, in my opinion, the greatest man that ever ruled over the wayward destinies of that extraordinary empire. When Lord Ellenborough was recalled I had still the good fortune to possess the approbation and support of Lord Ilardinge. That support ensured to me success in the war which we waged against the bold and powerful tribes of the Boogtee hills. It enabled me to quell those fierce barbarians, by com bined marching and great fatigue to the troops. Thus was the safety of Sinde rendered secure—happily without bloodshed ; which was, to me, all the glory and the reward which I sought for or desired. " So powerfully supported by the Governor-Gene ral, and by the troops obeying with such enduring fortitude, I can claim but a small share of merit beyond that of unabated and successful zeal for the honour of her Majesty's and the East India Com pany's arms. That my conduct when I went to India as Commander-in-Chief, should be approved of by you, my brother masons and my countrymen, is to me very gratifying. My zeal to fulfil the duties of that high command continued with unabated ardour ; but I no longer found the support which I received from Lord Ellenborough and Lord Hardinge. Sup port was turned into reprimand; and I found myself loaded with vast responsibility, but denuded of the power to sustain it. I therefore resigned, and thus closed my career in India. The murder, it may be recollected, was one of the most revolting character. The deceased was about fifteen years of age, and was the daughter of a small farmer at West Woodlands, between two and three miles from this town. On the morning of the 24th ult. she was left at home by herself, her parents having to attend the market of this place. They returned about four o'clock in the afteraoon, and to their horror found the dead body of the girl in the dairy. The state of her dress and other appearances clearly showed that she bad been subjected to the most revolting treatment just before death. Bruises were found on different parts of her body, and also scratches on her arms and legs, indicating that she had hal a most severe struggle with her diabolical assailant. Mr. Giles, a surgeon, expressed an opinion that death had been caused by pressure on the windpipe, and that she could not have done it herself. There were bruises and marks on the neck about the size of a man's hand. It should also be observed that the medical testimony proved that she had been violated just before death. On the cot tage being examined, traces of one or more persons were discovered, and it also seemed that they had carried off some property. The detection of the guilty parties appeared to baffis the efforts of the local police. The Government, however, offered a reward of 504, and the services of an active London officer being procured, a chain of circumstances was so collected as to lead to the capture of the prisoners, who appear not to have borne the best of characters. It is stated that they have all been convicted of some offence or other, and that they formed part of a gang which for some time has infested the district. ,_£9,515 9 5 ••• ..• ~, 2,400 710 Total ... ...£11,915 17 3 Corresponding week last year... 11,423 10 lq 0 LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.

THE EGYPTIAN RAILWAY. We are requested to publish the following cor respondence : Joseph Watts, of Titherington-lane, spoke of seeing the three prisoners, with a fourth man, in a lane near the cottage of the deceased's father, about half- past one o'clock in the afternoon of the 24th ult., the day of the murder. They spoke to him, and Hurd, who seemed to be a kind of leader, beckoned his compa nions to leave. They went in the direction of a farm house which was within view of the deceased's resi dence.

STEALING A MAIL CART On Tuesday morning , at five o'clock, or after wards, while the mail cart driver of the Deptford and Greenwich " ride" was waiting fur the letter bags inside the post-office in Deptford-broadvray, some p art i es , sup posed from information since r eceived, to have been too freely indulging in the pl easures p rovided at Cbarlton Fair, jumped into the vehicle and drove off. The driver, upon reaching the str eet, was utterl y bewildered at find ing the vehicle and the horse had both disappeared. No traces of them could be found; and as the delay of her Majesty's mails, under any crcumstanoes, is a very se rious matter, the luckless driver was compelled to find a cab as soon as possible, and make the best of his way t o the General Post-office , i n St. Martin's-le-Grand, leaving the delinquents and the vehicle and missing horse to the investigation of the police. Shortly afterwards it was discovered that a mail cart had been s seen on the road leading to Rotherhithe, and, up on inquiry, it turned out that the tollgate-keeper at ono of the . bars had noticed to two strange persons in a mail cart, which he thought be exceedingly singular, as no regular cart passes that way at that time of the morning. Thence the fellows were traced to the Six . Bells, Lucas-street, Rotherhithe, where the vehicle and the horse were found left in front of the tavern door, the drivers having decamped. In formation of the occurrence having been forwarded to the Post-office, Mr. Cook, the forema n to Mr. Wigs mars, the mail con t ractor , hastened to Rot herhithe f or the purpose of investigating t h e matter, which remains in the ha n d s o f t h e police, as the parties who have ven tured upon this foolish lark have not since been beard of. officP, from the G overnor o f St . Helena. akle Dispatches were recei ve d yesterday at the Colonia l- DEATH BY Pois otc. L as t night Mr. y, M.P., held an i nq 48,uest at the King's Arms, F n a Drury-lane, on the body of Joseph Linkon, ageda bird _ials, stiffer. George Darnell, No. 12, Queen-strcet, Seven V stated that the deceased, who was a widower, having buried two wives, had lod ge d i n his house for e i g ht months. Oa out, Short's -gar Monday morning l ast , a b out seven o'clock. being he was fetched home by his wife, who said deceased had taken poison. lie hurried home and found deceased lying an the bed in great pain. who, in answer to his questions, said that he had taken poison on some bread and butter, by accident. Witness immediately fetched Mr. Bennett, the parish sur geon, who attended him till his death, which took place t he same evening. Mr. Bennett sa i d, on seeing the deceased be was in a state of collapse, and he at once discovered that lie was labouring under the effects of poison, and to counteract it ke used every exertion, but in vain. On making a post ntortem examination he found death to have been caused by taking a large quantity of arsenic James Brookes, a lodger in the adjoining room to deceased, said that while the first witness was gone for, deceased told him that he had eaten, by mistake, a piece of bread and butter, on w hi c h , to po i s on the mice, he had placed as much arsenic as would cover a sixpenca , —Verdict," That deceased died from taking poison, brit whether intentionally or not, there was no evidence to Lord HARDWICKE, in returning thanks said—My Lords and Gentlemen, it becomes my duty to return thanks for the toast which has just been given, and I can only echo the words of my Hon. Friend, and say that we are attached to the country in which we live. I can answer for my Noble Friends whose names have been coupled with mine, that they are interested in the agricultural welfare of this county as much as any gentleman present. They possess large estates, and are acquainted with and feel all the weal or woe connected with agriculture. Having said this, gentlemen, I will proceed to offer to your notice a toast which was intrusted to me by my Noble Friend on the left (Lord Braybooke), and which, I believe, is usually considered the toast of the evening. My Noble Friend has usually given this toast himself, viz., " Prosperty to the Saffron Walden Agricultural As sociation." The welfare of the Agricultural Society of Saffron Walden must very much depend upon the prosperous condition of the people connected with it. I confess that I do consider that the nature and cha racter of this meeting is somewhat altered by the circumstances now affecting the farmer.—(Hear, hear.) I consider that the position in which the speakers of this day are placed is (me totally different from that which was contemplated in the origin of these societies.—(Hear, hear.) We are now care fully watched by the greater part of the pubiic press, and not a sentiment given forth from any gentleman at this meeting will escape being published to the world by the press in general, and commented upon . by a certain portion of it. It will be commented upon with great ability and great shrewdness; they will spare no vituperation; if they think it necessary, they will spare no ridicule. So far our position is altered, and in addressing you this day I feel as if I were about to make a speech in Parliament instead of in a social meeting where we might indulge a joyous carlessness, where we might utter language which . we did not care to have repeated, At the present moment we must take care to narrow our conversation and address our language teethe sub ject before us—uttering nothing but what we have fairly considered and which is legitimately to the point before us. I feel, under ,these circumstances, considerable difficulty, if not great pain, in being called upon to offer you this toast. I should be glad indeed if I were able to omit everything likely to lead to any future comments, and I may plead the rules of your society, which do not permit us to make any reference to political subjects. I intend so to do; but I know very well that when a man gets upon his legs and begins to make a speech, it is somewhat diffi cult to avoid expressions which may seem to have a political tendency. I will not, however, speak of parties in the state, or of legislative measures. I will address myklf to the subject-matter of agriculture, omitting studiously anything which can be called the political portion of the subject. My . Lord, we are called upen to drink " prosperity to agriculture," and I consider a toast of that description, if it means any thing in a social meeting, means offering up a prayer that prosperity may attend the society in its future operations. To make a society prosperous those per sons who uphold it must be prosperous themselves. —(Hear, hear.) It is impossible to sever the welfare of the persons connected with the society from that of the society itself, which must mainly, if not entirely, depend on the position of the parties connected with it. We have witnessed this day, on the common, a scene which has always deeply impressed me with the feeling that we are at least performing a duty which the better and richer classes of the world owe to their poorer neighbours—viz , bringing them forward before the public, and offering them to public notice as worthy of the esteem of their fellow- creatures.—(Hear, hear.) A more important duty I do not know ; and yet we have passed through a time when that duty was held up to the public as most ridiculous—as a duty performed in a manner most unworthy of rich and wealthy persons, and at the same time commented upon with a degree of severity and ridicule which made it painful to those who heard of as well as to those who read it. But we live in a time when we have among us, and connected with us by social ties, a Prince, who, as my Hon. Friend has said, from his industry, zeal, learning, and perseverance, has shown that he is worthy to be placed as the Consort of our gracious Queen. That Royal Prince, whose exer tion in promoting the Great Exhibition of the indus try of mankind we all recognise, went after closing that Exhibition to Windsor on a duty precisely simi lar to our own. His Royal Highness took Che part of my, Noble Friend on the common, offering similar prizes to the poor and industrious people. I am aware that the trumpery prizes of 10s. or 11. cannot be offered as a remuneration for any acts or deeds of theirs ; it is a sort of medallion or riband bestowed on them for their virtues, as in the case of a soldier who has achieved great deeds on the field of battle. This is the principle on which these societies are instituted, and it will stand firmly against any irony which can be put on them. Our perseverance has silenced that irony ; and we know that this steady course of exercising and adhering to our own opinion will at all times defeat the irony of writers or speakers who may meet to hold us up into rwidhlich cule. we G n e r n e tl i e e m d en to , we are placed in a positi on prosperity n co u n rs s e id iv eerst;heandthequestion gu es of the shsocietyall th this s s coupledday raise,n with a d which I shall be thankful to hear considered in a mixed society like this, is—ln what way is the farmer of England to meet the present depreciated prices of produce—(Hear, hear) — and how is the welfare the agricultural community to be su pp orted inits of i present condition ? How can we expect it to be pros perouscommer- cial and mercantile business, whi le at this moment via are as we wish it, in the con dition of our are buying in the dearest market apd selling in the cheaper one ?—(Hear, hear.) We have elicited vari ous opinions as to the state and condition of the agri cultural interest, but I believe myself, from what I see around me, and from what I have heard, that every soul in the community is perfectly sensible of its great depression.—(Hear.) I can see this from the tenderness of writers against us—l mean the writers who uphold the present system as one which is main tainable and likely to be remunerative. The tender ness of these writers on agriculture, and on all points connected with it, leads me to believe that they are as much aware as ourselves of the precarious condi tion in which we stand. How are we to be maintained upon this important principle ? We were at first told upon the one hand that it was an experiment, and upon the other that it was a problem to be solved. According to these terms, if the experiment failed it was retraceable, and if the problem to be solved was solved in the negative, it would be necessary to retrace their steps.—(Hear, hear.) I wish to know again what is the manner in which we are in our present social condition to meet the case, and how have we been answered by those who take another view of the subject ? (Hear, hear.) We are told that we must F row more corn, and to do that we must farm high. The term high farming may be understood in two or three different ways, but I believe that the gentlemen who speak of high farming mean proceeding upon the most expensive, principle—(Hear, hear) —thrashing and cultivati ng b y ex expensive buildi ngs, :ive machinery and erecting agriculture, a n d treating the whole thing o carrying p on all the operations which requires the largest outlay of capital,na tso scale a do e which under falling prices appears to be impossible.— (Hear.) We began upon the system which regulated our commercial business, when the Agricultural So ciety of England was formed they carefully studied e the thn iiciuelv‘t,isvanttiotnhaotfsothcieetsyoitln. the We began to carry out t iourd, butpo wer,it and the progress made was ex t reme ly rapid, ap wa s checked by an experiment which we could not then forage°. That experiment, so far from tending ex s te tn nd retr o e u n r ch expen ditureit,nnd it look to about u s o far from inducing us to farm high • uc e d us induce to us induced us to look about us how we could work in the cheapest wa y, Another party tells us that high farming is a word used in another sense, meaning the manuring the land by the maintenance of animals; but upon this point we should be unable to conduct our opera tions according to their views. Some time ago a distinguished friend of mine in the north of England stated before the public that in his opinion landed proprietors should turn their attention to another class of cultivation; that they should grow flax; that above all we should use the new reaping machine, and that then we should be able to recover ourselves The interesting ceremony of inaugurating this building for the purposes of the members of the Col chester Mechanics' Institution and the public gene rally took place on Tuesday evening under the most auspicious circumstances. The New People's Hall, which is an exceedingly handsome and 'commodious structure, presented a very interesting and animated appearance. The en• trance, passage from the High-street, through which visitors passed to the build*. was. tastefully deco rated with verdant arches of flame* and evergreens, and oil the( wall was a pretty device of dahlias, making "Progress" the watchword of the institution. Over the portal of the interior 'of the hall in a semicircular form, facing the platfortn, was a beautiful and exten sive device of various coloured dahlias, amidst sprigs of laurel and ivy, in which the motto, "Science, Art, and Literature" could be conspicuously traced. On the platform were Mr. John Gurdon Rebow, Wivenhoe-park, president; Mr. Hardcastle, M.P. for Colchester; Prof. Airy, Astronomer Royal; Mr. W. P. Donne, F.R.S. •' Rev. Dr. Seaman, rector o f Greenstead ; Rev. T. W. Davids, Lion-walk Chapel, Colchester; Rev. J. Cameron, Headgate Chapel, Col cheater;. Mr. J. Tabor, Mr. J. C. Eisdell, Mr. T. Catchpool, Jun., Mr. J. S. Barnes , Mr. J. M. Churchill, Mr. H. S. Goody, Mr. J. B. Harvey (hon. sec.), and Mr. D. Morris. After addresses from the esesnalArs (Mr. Rebow) and Mr. HARDCASTLE, M.P., Professor AIRY, the Astronomer Royal, on stand ing forward to address his audience, was greeted with loud cheers. He said he was personally a stranger to almost every individual in that room, al though he might say he once bad connexion with Colchester, the nine best years of his boyhood being spent in that town before he went to the University. He had always looked at his connexion with this town at his early age with great gratitude. At that time of life what he learnt was not all acquired at school, but elsewhere, and he became familiar with those things which were' associated with the idea of Mechanics' Institutions. He remembered very well that when he 'had acquired a sort- of general opinion on the properties of the steam-engine, the manner in which he learnt anything accurately about it was from a book a small tradesman lent him, but he learnt its practical operations from studying their two steam engines in the town, one of which was at St. Giles's brewery, and the other at the waterworks at Bal kerne-hill. Since then he had examined innume rable steam-engines, and had learnt by the examination of the smaller details of these various specimens. Now the recollection of that suggested to him one thing in connection with the inscription he saw upon that wall, " Science, art, and literature." If he had made the inscription himself, be should have put it in a dif ferent order, and put art first; not as being first in dignity - or importance, but as coming first into pro gress to men's mind—(Hear, hear)—it was by ac quiring accurate knowledge of art that people were led to science, and it was seldom before that they progressed to literature.—(Hear, hear.) He had at different times opportunities of seeing various ranks of mechanics under different circumstances. There was one instance which made a great impression upon him, which as a special incident was worthy or remark, and which be would mention. Some years ago in the prosecution of experiments in mines at Cornwall, when he was several hundred yards deep in the earth, he bad an opportnnity of seeing that sin gulariand interesting set of people the Cornish miners, and it was impossible to be among them without discovering in them a wonderful practical sagacity— a scientific sagacity, and this showed itself in their machinery in every part, in pumps and valve gear ing, which were well known in some way or other to every person in the kingdom-; th ey little spot in the island, by an infinity o f little contri vances, which he never saw showed in that anywhere else, their practical sagacity. - He amused himself to discover bow it happened. He found'there were persons con nected with these mines, not masters, but called cap tains, who were so concerned that they bad the ma iiageinent of the other men, and had considerable op portunities of meeting to dine together, and assembling in various ways. He had been present at these meet ings himself, and hal been struck with the idea that there was a sort of little mechani ca l parliament, and in their discussions upon steam-engines, and pumps, end rolling machinery, and everythi ng conn ected with the mines, there was a degree of ac curac y o f observa tion and sagacity of inference that would have done honour to any one of the master manufacturers of Manchester. In these private discussions there was displayed a degree of talent he never saw anywhere else. This was the sort of thing he should hope would arise from institutions similar to this.—(Hear, hear.) He should trust there would be private dis cussions there when persons interested in them were brought together. Though that might be one of the advantages of meetings of that kind, he looked upon it as comparatively a small one ; there were others to which the associations of persons in that way led, which could not be procured by any single person. There was one advantage to which great importance had been attached in the report read to them, and also in the address of the Member for the borough—he meant the collection of a good library.—(Hear, hear.) That was a thing no single person could procure for himself, but it could be procured by a number of per sons in the lowest grade of society, and perfectly in valuable; he did not grudge the terms in which the importance of that had been expressed.—(Hear, bear.) There were other ways in which this collection of persons—this organization of society, could be made valuable, and one of these, to which he attached much importance himself, was in the Procuring occasionally lectures , and holding in structing meetings of th at kind. It was possible for a number of p ersons uniting !in that manner to receive expositions, such as could not be received very single person ; and allow him to say that n it y ions which could be so received, and which mightwellieg exposh bt notch u h p e o n a t the l I v e h r e y y o high t e h s e t poi d n e t s r s o t a f n s d c n e g n c o e f , • were ver appointed to meet the re. — ( H ear.)

Colchester was the place where the first successful outbreak took place in the revolt of Boadicea, and the scene of san guinary struggles in the mi ddle a g es, and it was a place in that respect of ver y great interest. He thought he had alluded to all the principal points to which an institution like that ought to be directed, but perhaps before going further be might allude to the way in which it had been found necessary in prac tice to conduct the business of meetings of that kind. Undoubtedly much might be done in the way of pro- It was unanimously resolved that the foregoing reply should be inserted in the records of each lodge. The brethren then adjourned to the banquetting room, where an excellent dinner was served up, after which the usual loyal toasts of " The Queen and the Craft," and " Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family ;" " The Most Wor shipful the Earl of Zetland, the Grand Master of England ;" " Br. General Sir C. J. Napier ;" " The Navy and Army ;" " The Right Worshipful the Grand Master of Hants, and the Right Worshipful the Deputy-Grand Master, Mr. C. E.

METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONof SEWERS. Yesterday a special Court of Commissioners was held at No. 1, Greek-street, Soho, for the transaction of the ordinary business of the Commission.. Mr. E. Lawea presided, and there were present Captain Daw son, Mr. Cubitt; Mr. Allason, and the officers of the corporation. Among the applications and memorials were several from the poorer districts of Newington and Islington. Houses had been run up without the least considera tion of the mode in which their sewage was to be car ried off. There were no lateral drains, and the houses stood at so low a level that there were no means of providing a proper fall into the main sewers of the neighbourhood. The engineers reported upon these memorials that no remedy could be provided, until the general system of drainage contemplated by the Commission should be carried out. Ordered, that the engineers' reports be forwarded to the applicants. A memorial from Russell-street, Bermondsey, re vealed the startling fact that the main sower which supplies the inhabitants of that district with water is also the means of relieving them of their sewage. It communicates with the Thames near St. Saviour's Dock. When the tide is up, water flows from the river to the houses ; when it is down, the sewage runs from the houses to the river. Even this is scarcely a I a i r v e ngeance , souch ch sucha a s tatessewage he sufficiently bad representation of the state of this sewer, fur it appeared from the statement of Mr. Allason that the sewer was so flat that the sewage water pene trated through the bottom into the basements be nea th. water to a depth of from 12 to 18 inch es i n t h e cellars. principleO n a Captaine ce n or of t A vi I s v i s t o oscillation to N the could w lc t ld 3 , cr edit locality t a y h, e had found of things. It was, indeed, the appli cat i on of the had hardly expected to have seen carried out in the sewers. Mr. FORSTER said the case was by no means a rare one in the Surrey and Kent districts. Mr. ALLASON said the case appeared a most urgent one . Parties were suffering in health throughout the whole of the district, and the effluvium was most offensive and pernicious. Ultimately the memorial was referred to the en gineer to report whether, pending more extensive 1 operations, a t emporary outlet into the St. Saviour 's Dock might not be provided. New works were ordered in the Holborn division to the amount of 9901.; in Surrey and Kent, to the Several other witnesses gave evidence of their being in the neighbourhood with a fourth man. Robert HeHier, who resides in the parish of Frome, stated that on the 2d inst., between six arid seven o'clock in the evening, as he was returning from work up Blatchbridge-hill, he sat down to rest, when he observed Maggs come out of Burchall lane, and go up the hill towards Frome. Had heard that Maggs, Hurd, and others were blamed for the murder. He went up the lane as fast as he could, and passing through a gate which entered the side field, he walked up by the side of the hedge which ran parallel with the lane. He heard footsteps of ano ther person coming down, who met Maggs oppo site a lane leading into Blatchbridge-lane. While they were talking he remained under the hedge. Maggs asked the other man, who was taller than Maggs, if he had heard anything fresh. The other replied that he had heard that Bill Sparrow had informed the London officer that he (Sparrow) had done the mur der; that the London officer had been to Spar row, and said, "Ah, my good fellow, I am glad thee hasn't done the murder; thee we'd have a free pardon and 50!." Maggs rejoined, "He will neither have a free pardon nor his 501., for Bill Sparrow was the man that killed her. He would not have killed her, only she knew him." The witness added that he would have made public these facts before, but for a fear that he should also be murdered, as he had to travel four miles before daylight to go to his work, and re turn again at night. Martha Watson, the daughter of the landlord of a public-house at North Bradley, deposed that at the latter end of last month a man named William Spar row came to their house, on a Monday and Tuesday. He had-a very bad thumb, and he stated that it w as bitten in a fight. I n the course of conversation her father asked him if it was true that a girl h a d b een had murdered seen the at F g r i o r l m s e i n ? ee lie she said had it been n s In tr u u r e d , e a r n e d d thaten the Thursday. Her father i nqu i red whether they had n— , any suspi c i on o f any one. e said n that he did not t a know --four t p h e e r persons had girl's uncle -e an also beenup tdakesnelibertyt up at and dischar ge d. H o told us that she hada blow on the head, which bad been done, he thought, with a stick or something else, and that afterwards she was put in the whey. He was asked what caused death —the blow, or being put in the whey ? He replied he did not know, but the whey was stained with blood. He thought it would never be found out, he cause he thought there was only one person concerned in the murder. Sarah Watts, the mother of the deceased, stated that she was at home on the Thursday after the girl was murdered, and that she did not see Sparrow at her house on that day. Mr. Shoreland, surgeon, deposed to examining the left hand of Sparrow, and finding contused Wounds on the knuckles and thumb, and forming an op i n i on that they had been inflicted anterior to the time stated by him. A bite would have caused those in j cries. The police then solicited another remand, in order that they might collect other important f and the bench accerdiogly remanded th e prieoner7for ; another week.
