[PRICE SD, z MASONIC BANQUET TO THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. The Lord Mayor having accepted the invitation of Freemasons of Southwold, to a banquet on Mon the 23d instant, the Mayor convened a public meeting of the inhabitants on the 17th instant, to adopt measures for giving his Lordship a due re ception. The Lord Mayor and Sheriff Nicoll reached South wold at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and pro ceeded at once to Hill House, the residence of Cap tain Hill, who had made preparations on the most liberal scale for the entertainment of his Lordship and the Sheriff. His Lordship was accompanied by Mr. Starling, Mr. Cox, and his Lordship's chaplain, the Rev. Charles Marshall. The Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Seuthavold presented to the Lord Mayor the following address : " 'We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Southwold, beg to express to your Lord ship the sincere gratification which we and the other inhabitants of Southwold derive fro:n your Lordship's risit to their ancient town. In common with all classes of her Majesty's subj ects, we regard with just pride and pleasure the dignity and importance of the vast city over which your Lordship presides. As Englishmen, we glory in the unrivalled greatness of its commerce, the splendid privileges by which it is distinguished, the magnificence of its public institu tions, its unexampled benevolence, and the unequalled wealth, and power, and greatness, which constitute it the first and noblest city in the world. "At any time, my Lord, it would be an honour and gratification to welcome to Southwold the head of such a city as the great metropolis of her Majesty's dominions, but our pleasure at - the visit - of your Lord- - ship is two-fold. It not only affords us an oppor tunity of testifying our admiration of the city of London, but also of expressing our respect, personally and individually, for one in whose hands the power and dignity which rightfully belong to your high office, are supported with unexampled splendour,mag nificence, and hospitality. "Be assured, my Lord, that we, and indeed every inhabitant of Southwold, are desirous to do whatever is in oar and their power, to render the visit of your Lordship to their town in the highest degree agree able to your Lordship. "In no place in the United Kingdom (although at an immeasurable distance from those localities and boroughs which have received, or are about to enter tain, your Lordship as their honoured guest, in re spect to wealth, population, and influence) will your Lordship find more devoted loyalty to our Most Gra cious Sovereign, greater respect for the c it y o f Lon don, or more unfeigned admiration of your Lordship's conduct in your office of chief municipal magistrate in the kingdom. "Entertaining these sentiments, we respectfully offer to your Lordship a most hearty welcome, and have to beg your Lordship to believe that, however deficient your reception has been in splendour and magnificence, it is, at all events, replete with cor diality, sincerity, respect, and friendly feeling ; and in taking our leave, permit us to wish your Lordship health, happiness, and a long time to enjoy the fame and public estimation which your Lordship's libe rality, princely hospitality, merits, and character, have eo effectually achieved." To which his Lordship gave the following reply : " Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of South wold,—Your address, to which I have listened with deep interest, is, I assure you, highly gratifying to my feelings, whether I consider the respect which yon have paid to the city of London, or the kind expres sions which you have made towards myself as the chief magistrate. " To visit your borough on the present occasion is to me a source of much pleasure, and the pleasure is increased by a consideration of the especial object of my visit--to meet with many of my brethren of the Masonic Order. " I hope that during the remainder of my year of office I shall continue to give satisfaction to my fel low-citizens, and that at the close they will give me credit for having desired to discharge its important duties faithfully. I beg again to assure you of my sense of your kindness, and to express, for the marked respect which you have paid me, my cordial thanks." The Town Hall was appropriated by the corpora tion to the banquet. The entertainment was of the very highest character, and the wines, which were supplied by Messrs. Hooper and Sens, wine-mer chants, of Queenhithe, were all of the first-rate quality. The town was brilliantly illuminated in the evening. Every one present was a Freemason. There could not have existed stronger evidence of complete brotherhood than were displayed throughout the day. The Lord Mayor leaves Southwold early this morn ing, to attend a Court of Aldermen for the election of a Recorder. REPRESENTATION OF POOLE. POOLE, MONDAY.—One of the most disgraceful scenes that ever brought discredit on a constituency has just been enacted in front of the Town-hall here, under the guise of a nomination. All the candidates save Mr. Seymour and Mr.' Savage had retired, and as each day the result of the contest•continued enve loped in uncertainty, the friends of these two gentle men continued to manifest the greatest amount of agitation and party spirit. At first the business of canvassing proceeded with much good humour and quietness; but as the nomination day approached hand bills of a most scurrilous character were circulated, and affrays took place. ,In front of the hustings to day were displayed, not simply the large and small loaves that are used to indicate free-trade and protec tion, but personal effigies, including a savage, two or three rabbits, and a dog, the latter having reference to some transactions in which the name of one of the candidates valets (!), was introduced, and the rabbits indicating a prosecution which Mr. Seymour was said to have instigated against some poor men. The first half-hour after the arrival of the respective candidates was spent in vociferations, so that by the time the Sheriff appeared the most noisy of the party were hoarse. The address of Mr. Ledgard, in pro posing Mr. Savage, was listened to very patiently; but the appearance of Mr. Parrott to propose Mr. Seymour, simultaneously with the advent of a large banner, exhibiting a painted savage guarding a large loaf, was the signal for the commencement of a row of the most discreditable nature to any " free and en lightened" body of electors. It commenced with the hooking down of the banner, which was quickly torn to ribbands, and the flag-poles broken a second flag shared a similar fate, amidst the loud plaudits of the gentlemen on the hustings. Then followed a few fights, in which hats were lost and heads were broken. Mr. Seymour's party then retaliated, being cheered on in the destruction of flags by their leaders. The black loaves exhibited by the Blues were broken to pieces and flung at the speakers and those on the platform. Then followed rotten eggs, stories, potatoes, and carrots, in sufficient quantity to keep a poor family a week ; and lastly, after the countenances and attire of the leaders (which latter had had con siderable care bestowed upon it) had been thoroughly smeared with eggs, some one let l oose a great quant i ty of flour, and g ave le carefully attired gentlemen the appearance of a family of millers. A great many suits must have been entirely spoilt, and several individuals received personal injury, though, we believe, Mr. Seymour's steward was the only person who was badly hurt. He, it was feared, had had his ribs broken. The usual formalities having been observed, Mr. GEORGE LEDGARD, banker, proposed Mr. Savage as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament, observing that he did so on public principle. The contest lay between free trade and protection, and on no other grounds did he wish the contest to be fought. When he advocated protection he begged distinctly to declare that he was no friend to monopoly. Mr. SLADE, merchant, seconded the nomination. Mr. PARROTT proposed Mr. Seymour, and then en sued the scene which we have attempted to describe. We noticed one of the ge n tl emen ta k e off h i s hat, which was i n an instant converted into the receptacle of a rotten egg. Unwittingly the hat was placed on the head only to be indented by a turnip, and when a few momenta after he removed his hat to address the people the egg fell down on to his waistcoat. The most violent on the hustings were cheering on th e i r Clarty, when an egg settling on a frilled shirt or inging to a whisker, suddenly checked their enthu siasm, and sent them to the back of the hustings. One gentleman received fifteen eggs, and his appearance, after the flour had settled on their remains, may be imagined but scarcely described. Mr. GEORGE PENNY seconded the nomination. Mr. SAVAGE then presented himself. He was, he said, the advocate for moderate protection, and had been so since 1847, from which period he had held held himself in readiness to come forward in oppoSi tion to anything like nornim eship. He was opposed to any further grant to the Romish Church, and a friend to education. Mr. SEYMOUR, whose address was all but inaudible, said he stood forward as the supporter of Reform prin ciples. The two principles, the old and the new, were now fairly before them. Were they prepared, after untaxieg the necessaries of life and having tasted the blessings of free trade, were they prepared to re turn to protection ? Would it not be better to go on in the same course and release gradually from taxa tion all the articles of necessity and comfort, and thus increase the wealth and happiness of the people ? After some other remarks wholy inaudible, the show of hands was taken amidst the wildest confusion, and declared in favour of Mr. Seymour. The poll was fixed for to-morrow (this day). Mr. Seymour afterwards, in addressing the crowd from the hotel, warmly denied an insinuation that he was a nominee of Sir John Guest.

The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance Wept win the Albion Company as security for an adva nce, the pay of hich p was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed fro: the office. • The chief evidence turned upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the resu:t was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only, for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under She present system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute security , can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of prote3ting them selves in every case by due inquiries before the granting , f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility 01 the com pleteness of such inqUiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advant a g es are the first to be deterred."—Thnes, 'July 11, 1850.

The FOURT El ANNUAL GENERAL MEE Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication: — During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 200/. --making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting* to 52,9631.28. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. gixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.

Redford-sonars London. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CALEDONIAN. The report of Mr. Abbatt, the auditor of this com-. pany, states that the accounts for the half-year are correct. The revenue account, 'however, contains some items of expenditure which cannot be looked upon as a charge upon the six months' receipts ; for instance, the expense of locomotive power and stores embraces a period of 28 weeks, and therefore includes about 3,0001. which is chargeable to a prior period; the item of compensation and damages including a sum of 1,500/. paid on account of an accident which occurred about two years ago at Rockcliffe. In the accounts for the half-year ending the 31st of De cember last 60,0001. was set down as money expended in Dundee, Perth, and Aberdeen plant, and 18,0001. for Dundee and Arbroath, and Dundee and Perth shares, in respect of which expenditure it was decided, at the general meeting in February last, that no demand should be made against the late board. Of the above sums 68,0001. was paid in cash and deben tures, which has now been carried to the debit of the Dundee and Perth Company, and the balance, 30,0001., being bills granted by the late board, and which are still over due or current, has been cancelled, as the present board deny the liability of the company for this sum. The principal stores are kept at the extensive workshops belonging to the Caledonian Company, situate on the grounds of the Greenock Railway Company, more than 20 miles distant from the Caledonian line. Here several men are employed by the company under the locomotive superintendent, Mr. Sinclair, who also fills the same situation on the Greenock Railway. In the present relation of the companies it may be an important question how far the present system of employing the same workmen and stores for the works of both companies should be continual. In the peculiar circumstances of the Ca ledonian Railway, and the great disproportion of the number employed who are interested in economy to those who are not interested, Mr. Abbatt is of opi nion that by contracting for the manufacture of the rolling stock and the execution of the more extensive repairs considerable saving would be effected. By a judicious attention to excursion or pleasure traffic during the summer months a considerable increase of net revenue might be derived. After the payment of the Gsrnkirk rent a balance of 2,8221. only is left. There is, consequently, a deficiency to meet the gua ranteed claims of 64,108/. for the half-year, taking into account 8 , 5001 ., the net earnings o f the dreenoek Company, hut omitting the net returns, if any, which the Barrhead line may furnish. The traffic on the C iledonian may be affected by the completion of the Nithsdale Railway, which will be opened next month. But although the present revenue of the line is maintained, or even increased to some extent, it is evident that the amount guaranteed to the various lines roust be modified to a considerable amount be fore there is a' possibility of meeting the company's engagements, and restoring its credit. It is true the Bill introduced late last session would have reduced the above half-yearly deficiency to 45,0291 ; but the serious objection of having repeatedly to adjust those claims must, according to past and present experience, swell the amount of Parliamentary and law expenses, and ruinously affect the already greatly damaged in terests' of all parties. DUNBLANE, DOUNE, ANI? CALLANDER. The half-yearly meeting of this'coinrmy was held list week at Dumblane, Mr. Stirling in the chair. After some discussion it was proposed to take pro ceedings under the Railway Abandonment Act, passed in the last session of Parliament, with a view to abandon the railway and to wind up the affairs of the company. This proposition being approved by the majority, a resolution to that effect was passed. It was shown in the accounts that there was a proba bility of returning 235. per share to the shareholders out of the 525. 6d. per share originally deposited. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, &Pr. 23.

Sir,—The southern portion of Kent, 13 ing under the " ragstone hill," constitutes the " Weald," or wealden district, which runs parallel with the chalk and green sand formations in the direction of east and west, through the county. This district consists of two geological divisions, the weald clay, and the Hastings sand, and the character of the soil and scenery of each division differs greatly. The weald clay district is a low and generally level tract, resting for the most part on a yellow clay, which forms a strong subsoil, very retentive of water ; in places there is a gravelly subsoil, chiefly near the rivers, where a deeper and alluvial soil obtains. The natural drainage in this tract is effected by the rivers Eden, Beult, and Medway. The width of the weald clay district varies from three to seven miles. The South-Eastern Railway, which enters this county near Edenbridge, runs directly through the weald, and for the great part of its length through the weald clay district. The soil of the weald valley is very uniform in quality, being heavy, cold, end adhesive, save on the margin of streams, where the soil resting on gravel is more naturally fertile. Every where draining is needed. Bat in parts of the valley the land lies so flat that there is great difficulty in obtaining sufficient depth of outfall . to carry off the water. This is the case with an extensive area of level land, the waters of which must be carried eff by the river Beult • but to effect such drainage that river requires to be deepened and improved, only to be effected by a combination of the landowners of the district to promote that object. A local Act of Parliament would he necessary, but there are few districts in which so much improvement might be effected by creating an effective outlet for drainage as in this district. Without it no efforts of individual landowners can be of much avail for the improvement of their properties. On the weald clay district considerable improve ments have been effected by road-making, for within a period comparatively recent the leading thorough. fares in many parishes of the valley were nearly im passable during the winter; and there are many per sons7still living who remember the time when the en tire district was destitute of hard roads. Now there are few districts which possess better roads, for making which sea-beach has been brought by the Pother from the coast, and stone from the rag-stone hills. The South-Eastern Railway has, however, opened to this country the most effective facilities f trans port, and the improvements which have thereby resulted are very numerous, and are extending. '1 he Hastings sand district contains series of alter• nations of sand, gravel, and clay ; and the surface is beautifully diversified and undulating. The area of the Hastings sand division of Kent is about the same in extent as the weald clay, the widest part being between Biddenden end Sandhurst. All the weald district is densely wooded, and pro duces large oak timber of the best quality. The Hastings sand division presents to the lovers of beau tiful and various scenery charms which it does not possess for the eye of the agriculturist; for though there i 3 much land capable of producing large returns, and all of it may be immensely improved, there are few districts in which I should be more unwilling to undertake a farm than in either division of the Weald of Kent. Around Tunbridge - Wells there is a sandy tract of broken, uneven ground, than which nothing can be more delightful for the mere visitor at any sea son of the year, but to farm it must be an enterprise of no great hopefulness. Much of it is planted with larch and other wood adapted for hop poles ; and as a matter of profit, 1 apprehend by far the greater portion should be applied to the same purpose. Here the farms are all on a small scale, as indeed they are throughout the weald. And small farming must, I apprehend, continue, for the fields are so small, the hedgerows so numerous, and the quantity cf timber so great, that few men would undertake to farm a tract of the land in its present state, and to clear it is a work that none but proprietors can accomplish with advantage. Wherever any improvement' has been effected in this district, the first process has been to drain, and to let in the light and air by reducing the hedges and the timber. - Thus Mr. Schreiber, of Henhurst, who has an estate on the stiff yellow clay of the weald, has, by draining, enlarging his fields, and removing the trees, brought a stubborn clay farm into a state of high cultivation and productiveness, of which many persons thought it incapable. His course of cropping will illustrate the character of the soil. He begins with-1. A clean fallow. 2. Wheat. 3. Oats. 4. Seeds mown. 5. Second year's seeds fed oft by either cattle or sheep ; 61 beans or peas ; 7, tares, and roots as a preparation for wheat again. It is stated as a significant fact that Mr. Schreiber, when he commenced the improvement of weald clay land, brought with him " most of the approved modern implements of the eastern counties," and that after much perseverance and repeated trials he has abandoned them, and ha 3 adopted the imple ments and modes of culture common to the district. And it is stoutly asserted in this district that persons who have been brought up to farming on the weald succeed much better than strangers. Now I have no doubt that in every rural district there are local pecu liarities of soil, or climate, or both, which have in a great degree induced local practices in husbandry, and no prudent farmer will dismiss such practices without full considerati on , b u t why approved im plements, if really usef u l t oo l s and good for tilling the strong clays of Suffolk or Essex, should not be found equally useful on the weald clay, I could not see, and did not hear any sufficient cause. I believe the chief difficulty in importing new implements into any rural district consists in the unwillingriess of the farming servants to depart from their accustomed ways. To correct this requires both firmness and dis cretion on the part of the master; but unless the useful implements and, better practices of one district can be judiciously transferred to other districts where inferior husbandry prevails, half the advantages of our modern facilities of communication will be lost to farmers. - The mistake too frequently made in this respect is to attempt the wholesale adoption of the system of another district, and failure is usually the result; whereas by selection and adaptation to the locality of parts of the management of other places im mense improvement may often be effected. Certainly the cultivation of the great majority of the weald farmers is not such as to lead to any great faith in the value of a w ea ld of Kent agricultural education. The ordinary cou rse of the weald i 3— 1. a year's fallow ; 2. wh ea t ; 3.. o ats, with, perhaps, scene barley, sown with clover, trefoil, and rye grass; 4. seed, fed off the second year, and then another year's naked fallow to prepare for wheat. Some tares and a few turnips have of late years been grown on a portion of the fallow. Lime was at one time uni versally, and is still much used, but where the land has been repeatedly limed, little advantage is derived from its use. In the valley of the Beult there is some better land, on which the following rotation is in use : —l. beans or peas ; 2. wheat; 3. oats ; 4. tares ' • 5. wheat; 6. clover. Manure is, generally applied to the wheat, and from 3 to 33- quarters per acre are ' deemed an average crop. Here and there a few farmers on the , Hastings sand division of the weald grow wheat in alternate years, but the general opi nion seems to be that a more extended rotation is on the whole a more profitable system on this soil. I believe, however, that it is entirely a question of ma-' nagement,-and I'see no reason whatever why; with high cultivation and plenty of stock, wheat should not be profitably grown here; the climate is' un questionably very favourable, , and where the land is not too sandy it is capable of being,rendered very fertile. ' - I found' many of-the farmers on this formation haunted with apprehensio n s that the clover -and turnip crops, if repeate d too frequently, would fail, and undoubtedly such failures are not unknown ; but my impression is they are more dud to want of condition in the_ land than anything, else. The following course was m en t i oned with much sp.; p o r w o 7 2 I,..aawproviding .against such f a il ures: -1. fal -1 oats ;- 5. tares ; 6; • wheat; • 74 seeds; S. oats. High cultivation will prevent the necessity of such lengthened rotations, and will allow more frequent repetitions of the same crop ; and I observe that the practice of most of our best farmers proves that simpler rotations are m os t successful. Hops. are largely cultivated in the Hastings sand district, and m th e e re we pl . e id nt e a l t a i y on a s• ft h e a r veorl , ate years been formed on drainage, for a dry soil is essen tial to hops. 'The ~ grape ' and " Jones's" hops are come a good deal into , use.' This is a chiefly grown in this.district ; and the "Colgate" hop has lately smaller and later hop than the others, but is hardy, and when quite ripe produces a good sample. The expense of hop cultivation I mentioned in a former letter from Mid-Kent, and there is nothing peculiar to the hop cultivation of • this district, except that it seems to want that extreme neatness which was its characteristic in Mid-Kent. And here I think it does often occur that the hop•garden robs the rest of the farm, without affording the farmer any sufficient remuneration for his too exclusivd attention' to its culture.- But even here I see no reason for giving up hop culture. Certain farms and particular h d op o 7 u g b a t rde b n e s than f b a e r t m te e r rs off, wo w u i l t d hou n t o as well, perhaps with them ; but that arises mainly from the unsuitableness of the soil or the. want of capital on, the part of the tanant. Generally hOpi on the Weald are not iluitte so precarious as the more delicate growth of Mid- Kent, and they never occupy so large a portion of a weald farm as they do in " the garden of Kent." Upon the whose, my impression is much more favour able to hop culture as a source of profit in husbandry :ince I have inspected the hop districts and conversed with hop-growers upon their farms. Most of the intelligent farmers, though admitting the precarious oature of the crop, and deploring the losses which occasionally happen, declare that their hop cultivation is in a series of years a source of considerable profit. There are some cattle reared on the weald, chiefly the large red Sussex breed, a hardy sort, which, when well fed, attain large size. They are,, however, slow feeders and large consumers. As working oxen they, cannot be excelled. I believe that if this breed had received the same attention as short-horns or Devons have had from their respective breeders, they would have been found capable of immense improvement. Mr. S. Selmes, at Beckley, on the borders of Sus sex, is the most celebrated breeder of this stock ; and as I intend to visit his herd before I leave this part of the country, I shall defer until that occasion all gene ral remarks on Sussex cattle. There are some good farmers on the weald, and especially on the sand division, and considerable im provement has taken place of late years throughout the district. _ SQufflera and cultivators have of late been a good deal employed on the stubbles in autumn, by means of which - winter tares have been grown ex tensively. Drilling, too, has extended, as has also the-growing of roots. Draining, too, is increasing; and throughout the weald draining is much wanted. Even in the Hastings sand district there are such frequent beds of clay that there are few fields in which some springy places do not require to be laid dry ; while on the weald clay every 'acre must be drained before it can be much improved. But to suc cessful drainage the small fields and numerous trees offer almost insuperable obstacles. It is estimated that one-eighth part of the arable land of the weald is occupied by hedges and trees, allow ing for their shade and roots. Fields of three, four, and five acres abound, and a larger one is rather a rarity. Here four horses at length are usually worked in ploughing, and it may easily be conceived in what a state the heavy wet headlands on which they turn must be in wet seasons. Sometimes after a year's fallow, and a dressing of manure, the cold adhesive land, shut in from light and air, cannot he sown, and becomes, as it is emphatically called, a " lost fallow." The corn near the hedges is small, much devoured by birds, and in stormy harvests soon sprouts ; and it is stated, as I believe truly, that there are many thou sands of acres on the Weald of Kent, which cannot, in their present state, be cultivated without an actual loss; yet this is all good cornbearing land, and might he made to yield of most sorts of grain a full average of the kingdom. A striking , Ilustration of the disadvantage at which this land is farmed as compared with the more fertile land of Mid Kent has come under my observa tion. About twelve years ago a man left two estates —one of 150 acres on the green sand formation in Mid Kent, the other on the weald clay, containing 300 acres. The two properties were deemed of about equal value, and each of his tWo's - ons was to take one of the farms, the eldest• having the first choice. He selected the green sand farm of 150, which he has vier since occupied With advantage to his fortune. The other brother also occupied the clay farm, culti vating it according to the ordinary system of the dis trict; and, after struggling with difileuhies for years the farm has been sold for a sum that will not much more than pay his debts. The fatal error was to allow high hedges and trees to grow around the arable land. And this is the prevalent mistake of the district. There is much broken ground, and innume rable ravines in this district, where wood and wood alone can be profitably grown, and there are extensive plantations in which timber and hop poles yield a larger revenue than could be derived from the land in any other way. But hedge-row timber is generally knotty and stunted, and can never be profitable to the owner, while it is absolutely destru c ti ve t o th e t en a n t. In order to improve this district three-fourths of the hedge-rows ought to be grubbed up, all the hedge row timber removed, and then deep and effective draining executed; we have no hesitation in saying that in a few years, by such means followed by good cultivation, the value of much of the land of this district night be doubled, and the timber which now cumbers and shades the ground would go far to pay for the amelioration. Hitherto shallow draining has been most used when the land has been drained at all ; but latterly three and four feet drains have been laid with so much benefit that the plan of deep draining bids fair to become general. I everywhere saw tile-yards containing large heaps of draining pipes. These pipes, of one and two inches in diameter, are sold for from 123. to 18s. per thousand; and in soils free from stones, drains throe feet deep can be cut for 6d. per rod. The farms on the weald of Kent are commonly small, many of them not exceeding 50 acres ; but here, as elsewhere, the consolidation of small farms, when belonging to the same owner, is going on. Rents are low, varying on the larger estates from 84. to 18s. per acre, and from 35. to 7s. per acre for tithe. Tenants usually hold their farms from year to year. But what redeems this district, and, not withstanding its many disadvantages, gives its farms an appearance of comfort and inde pendence, is the number of small freeholds occu- pied by the owners. His land may not be highly cultivated, his fields may be as small, his hedges as high and rude, and the timber almost as re dundant as the farms of his large landowner, but there is about the home of the yeoman farmer evidence of care and attention, a something eluding descrip tion, which tells that it is his own. One gentle man pointed out to me a stack of curiously or namented chimnies, " more than 200 years old," and to the manner in which his own improvements and adornments harmonised with the ancient character of his dwelling, with a degree of pride and satisfac tion seldom felt by the nominal or encumbered owner of a vast demesne. And when, he aided, after re ferring to the substantial state of his old buildings, and the well executed new ones he had erected, that, after all he had done in the way of improve ment, he bad saved a considerable sum of money during his occupation of his farm, I could not help contrasting the condition of such a yeoman proprietor with that of a territorial magnate, whose large estate, loaded with debt and fettered by entail, scarcely affords him the means of keeping up appearances. I believe that an Encumbered Estate Bill would pro mote as much improvement in England as it is likely to do in Ireland, and not the least of such improve ments would be the increase of the number of holders of moderate-sized landed estates. Sept. 1850. A MIDLAND COUNTIES FARMER. EXPLOSION AT ✓ Tilt PROOF- HOUSE, BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, • SiPT. 'serious accident, which but for the mist providential circumstances, might have resulted in a lamentable loss of human life, occurred at the Gun-barrel Proof-bouse this morning% The Proof-house in Birmingham is established 14 ,- Act of Parliament for the purpose of testing the qua lity and safety of gun-barrels previously to their being admitted into military stores or issued for public use. Some hundreds of thousaask pasi through this orderl in the course of a year. The extreme danger of the work here , performedmay - in part be judged of by its nature,'andhy, those terrific reports of over-,charged and unproved barrels to which the inhabitants of Birmingham are accustomed to listen every hour , of the day. The facts Connected with the explosion, so far as we have been' able _to ascertain them, are as follows : Shortly before eight o'clock a loud noise was heard to proceed from the back part of the premises, and at the same time the - inner yard'was darkened by dense clouds of smoke" and dust. It was soon ascertained that an explosion bad occurred in the room in which barrels are loaded previously to their being fired. The roof of the building was blown off, and the outer walls completely destroyed. At the moment the ac cident occurred the only - two men employed in the , process of-loading were John Derry and John Pal mer, both Of whom,-as soon as the rubbish and mate rials by which they were covered or surroundtd could be removed, were extricated from the demolished building: They were both dreadfully burnt and much hurt—Derry, it is feared, fatally injured ; his piercing screams are described as agonizing. The men were both conveyed to the General Hospital, and every at tention promptly paid - to them. Just previous to the occurrence of the accident the proof -master was in the room, and having loaded several barrels' gave them to Derry and Palmer t 6 Rad he remained in the building half a minute longer he must unques tionably have been amongst the sufferers. How Derry and Palmer escaped - instant death appears to be mira culous, How the explosion was caused is as yet a matter of speculation, although, from the 'few words which have escaped one of the injured men; it is not impro bable that it was Accidentally the effect of friction. All the instruments or implements used in the loading-room are, for sc.fety, of copper material, but it is believed that one of the men dropped together, a number of gun barrels on the fleor, and that a spark, the result of friction, caught the gunpowder. The exact quantity of gunpowder that was in the building is not known, but it must have been considerable. The barrelF, before being subjected to proof, are loaded with ball, and there is reason to apprehend that one is lodged either ,in the side or hip of Derry. The concussion caused the destruction of many windows in the neighbourhood. The Proof-house in this respect is sadly damaged, and the adjoining pre. mises of Messrs. Peyton and Hicklin, manufacturing chemists, have suffered to some extent. The surface of the Birmingham Canal, which runs immediately behind the Proof-house, was strewed with fr agments of the building, and bricks were propelled to the dis tance of nearly 100 yards. The Magazine in the centre of the Proof-house-yard —a massive stone fire-proof erection—was uninjured. Had the shock been suffi cient to move this from its foundation, the conse quences would have been terrible. The last explosion of the kind took place 32 years ago, but on that occasion little personal injury resulted from the oc currence. The business of the Proof-house—so commodious are the premises —vs ill not be materially checked, so that the gun trade of Birmingham will not .be se riously inconvenienced. THEATRE ROYAL, HULL. (From the Hull Advertiser.) Ori Monday evening an English operatic party, ncluding Mr. W. Harrison, Mr. Weiss, Mr. 11. Corri, Miss Louisa Pyne, and Mrs. Weiss, commenced a short engagement at this theatre, when each ap peared in good voice, and, by their eftbrts determined to merit approbation. Such a n arra y o f talent could not fail to attract good audiences, including a more than usually large number of that class in whose education music, with its refining and mind-ennobling influences, forms a prominent feature. Would that the means'of such an acquisition were within the reach of all ; then would the opera realise one of the great ends intended to be accomplished by its talented masters. Operatic performances, by such a talented band of artistes as above enumerated, are always welcome in a provincial theatre, affording, as they do, an agree able relief from the heavy routine of dramatic repre sentation. On Monday evening, as, indeed, through out the week, the audiences have been of the most flattering kind. The dress boxes have presented a brilliant appearance—the' elite of the town and neigh bourhood being present. The opening piece was Balfe's Bohemian Girl, in which the whole quintette appeared. The first solo in the opera deserving notice introduced to us Miss Louisa Pyne, the prima donna of the party, in that rather hackneyed but pleasing ballad, "I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls," the rendering of which at once gained for her the unequivocal approbation of the audience. Mrs. Weiss, as the Gipsy Queen, delivered the music incidental to the part in as agree able a manner as the monotony of some of the passages would allow. Mr. Harrison received a hearty wel come on his first entrance, which was continued throughout the evening : he was encored in the popu lar ballad, "When other lips," which he sung in his wonted style. Mr. Weiss, in " The heart bow'd down," made a very favourable impression; as also did Mr. 11. Corri, as Devilshoof, the humorous traits of which character he brought out in a style which would do no discredit to Paul Bedford himself. But the gem of the evening was unconnected with the opera, and which, from the want of proper publicity being audience.giv- n, vv , a s l l is v t e e n a e l d l u t d o e b t y o n t o h t e r y e a t r h i a a t n i o o n n s e - o h n e R f o o f d t e l: s e Air," by Miss Pyne. It is impossible to describe the artistic manner in which this was given ; Richardson's purity of tone and rapid fingering of his favourite instrument could not surpass the delivery of this magnificent piece of vocalisation. The sustained shake in D in alt was listened to with silent amaze ment by her delighted audience. An unanimous encore followed, which was instantly responded to by this charming cantatrice repeating the bravura passages. On Tuesday evening Wallace's opera of Maritana was brought out, the two principal characters—Don Caner and Maritana—being sustained by Mr. Harri son and Miss Pyne. The lady, although small in stature, is remarkably prepossessing in appearance, and possesses vocal powers well adapted for giving effect to the many rich songs and concerted pieces falling to the lot of the joy ous and aspiring git a na. Sh e di s pl aye d judg ment and precision, both in her acting and singing, which would do credit to maturer years. The " Harp in the air," in the first act, was a charming effort. Her clear, full voice, now swelling with powerful melody, and anon breathing the silvery tones of the harp, quite enraptured the audience, and at the out. set won for her their especial favour. Throughout the piece, including that sweet aria," Scenes that are bright est," in which she received a flattering encore, Miss Py ne exercised her vocal powers to advantage, and with such freedom and grace as will undoubtedly secure for her a high position in her line. Mr. Corri, as Charles the Second, acd Mrs. Weiss, as the faithful page, Lezarillo, %ere equalled good. Perhaps the gentleman might have dressed a little more becoming a king. We often look in vain for the display of that charac teristic benevolence which the page manifests to his preserver, and that delicate and artless acting which is essential to a successful development of the plot ; not so, however, on this occasion ; all was to the life, and the singing, especially " Alas ! those chimes so sweetly pealing" (encored), was,•.if anything, more pleasing than her personations. Mr. Weiss, as Don Jose, fully sustained his previous reputation. Of course llarrison was "at home" as Don Caesar. In him we have the mad-cap Bacchanalian reveller de picted with such force as to remind us of the late lamented lessee of the Royal, who, as an actor, was the Don Caesar. But it is as a vocalist Mr. Harrison excels, and however high we may rate his talents as a mere actor, they are far outdone by his masterly exe cution of some of the first tenor songs in the piece. In one or two instances we have heard him in better voice ; yet he was the " soul" of the piece. It is always difficult to obtain an efficient band of choris ters in the pro‘inces, and this was very evident on this occasion ; the orchestra, too, instead of compen sating for, actually increased the defect. THE OUTRAGE on MR. CURETON. The police belonging to the City and metropolitan divisions were actively engaged during yesterday (Monday) in endeavouring to trace out the perpe trators of this outrage, but up to nine o'clock last night no tidings of them could be obtained. Mr. Cure - ton is now perfectly convalescent, but it is the opinion of Mr. Brand, the surgeon who was called in, that his life was saved only through Mrs. Wilson, the land lady of the house, going up to his room at the instant she did The following were the articles taken away, the publication of which may probably have the effect of preventing their sale in the market, and may lead to the apprehension of the would-be murderers :--A silver lever watch, with double bottom, engine -turned, open face, capped and jewelled in eight holes; steel balance, going fuzee, hard enamelled seconds dial; number stamped in cases and engraved on watch, 7,504 ; maker's name John Hu; Percival-street, London.
