AND SHA RE BROKERS. (From the Leeds Mercury.) [We have thought it would be extremely useful to the Dumarous classes of persons now interested in shares, know what kind of dealings are legal an what il le gal—what liabilities accompany these transactions— ed what is the exact position occupied by share hs-okers in the immensely numerous operations of w hich they are the mediums. We therefore submitted some questions to one of the most eminent solicitors i n Yorkshire, John Hope Shaw, Esq., of this town, isnd have obtained from him a regular professional opinion upon them, very carefully prepared, and which he has taken every means to render as accurate as the present state of the law will permit. Mr. Shaw's opinion is as follows ;] The right and liabilities resulting from contracts for shares are subject to uncertainties. Some of these un certainties arise from unsettled questions of law; others from the rules or customs of brokers, which may vary in different places, or in the same place at different timee. The rules of an Exchange. when not in them : selves illegal, or varied by the terms of a particular cion tract, bind the brokers who belong to that Exchange, and through them their principals. They are considered as engrafted on the contract, and becoming part of it. When the contracting parties arc net members of any Exchange, or not both members of the same, the ruses of any particular Exchange are not binding upon them, unless adopted either by express agreement or by their course of dealieg with each other ; but local customs, if known to them, and general eustcnv, whether known to them or not, are cousideri:cl as en grafted on their contracts, provided the customs are legal in themselves, and are not inconsistent- with the terms of the particular contract. For these reasons it is impossible to frame directions specifically adapted to every case that may occur. All that can be done is to state the general law so far as it has been settled. It must be left to each individual to ascertain for himself how far the application of that general law to bis own ease may be modified by the rules or customs of the particular Exchange or district-where his contract was made. ,?Z ELA 'FIVE CL( RA IL WA SING PRICES OF Y SHARES THE 'D TOWNS IN ENGLAND, AND IRELAND. A meeting of the supporters of Sir William Molesworth was bald on Monday evening, at seven, at the Bricklayers Arms. Old Kent-road, to hear an address from that gentlema in • exposition of his political principles, and to take measures to secure his return to Parliament. r, John Donkin was called to the chair. - The CHAIRMAN made a few observations relative to the business of the meeting, after which he introduced Sir William Molesworth. Sir WILLIAM Monaswearn on rising to address the meet ing was received with great cheering. He addressed him self first to the circumstanses which had led to his being brought forward as a candidate for the representation. On being applied to, he asked the question, was it probable that the Liberal interest would unite in him ? The answer was, that after the merits of several candidates had been fully can• !fused at several meetings of the electors, they had selected him in preference. He then at once consented to come for ward.—(Cheers.) Since then the Maynooth question had arisen, on which much irritable feeling had been excited. He wes lorry, however, to say, that many had not seen the political necessity of that measure, and that the sense of justice to Ire land had not led to a more liberal construction of that grant. It was, however, no wish of his to blink this question. and he would at trice say, had he been in Parliament, he should have supported that grant as an educational measure, And as a measure of state policy.—( Cheers.) He was gene rally opposed to grants of public money for ecclesiastical pur poses ; hut, under the peculiar circumstances of Ireland, he thought it was wise to allow that grant. It was a contract entered into at the time of the Union, that a sum of money should be applied for the support of an institution to educate the Roman Catholic priesthood. The grant was to prevent the priesthood of that country from going ;abroad to be edu.- wed, and there acquiring principles obnoxious to the Go vernment at home. The Hon. Baronet here went into de tails on this subject in terms preeissly similar to those .vre have given in former reports. He regretted his views had not given satisfaction to some parties in the borough, who had gone so far as to prefer the return of a Tory to a wiig•Radical, as he had been called. Himself and friends, however, did not participate in those feelings, for he would much rather prefer the return of Mr. Miall than that nondescript }po litician, without principles and without opinions, Mr. Pitcher. If any means could be adopted by which the sense of the Libe ral interest could be taken as to which candidate was most ac ceptable to it, he should be glad ; anti he would pledge himself to abide by any arrangement that might be come to, so as to tevent any division in the borough, and the return of a Tory. The Hon Baronet then went into a general statement of his Political views nn the corn-laws and free trade, the suffr age, tri e iitial Parliaments, vote by ballot, &c., in effect, similar to that we have previously given ; and concluded by expressing ?tilling to answer any question.—(Cheers. ) An E ll , c -i s ?ft asked if he was willing to allow the colonies to send representaris-ZS to Parliament? Sir W. MoLEsWORTH Oswered, that considering the im- •Inesise distance of many of stir cohniii; he would not pledge himself to support them sending Members here, but he would advocate their having the freest possible Government at home. Thi s would he much better than to give them a mere factitious representation by sending members here from the antipodes. Mr. RHITII said that he considered Sir Wm. Molesworth a reneg a de, as he had formerly supported universal suffrage. Sir W. Mongswoierst denied this. He had never sup- Ported eniver,al suffrage. Even at Leeds, where there were Mora Chartists than in this borough, he had never yielded to that cr y to gain their support. He was favourable to the fullest ottersion of the suffrage as educttion and intelligence advanced. • Mr. BRETON moved a resolution to the, effect, that after hearing Sir W. Molesworth in explanation of his political Principles, the meeting considered him eminently qualified to *represent the borough in Parliament. Captain . Hawattens seconded the m. Lion. On the Chairman rising to put the resolution, a person, who Rave his name as John Smith, rose to more an amendment . Objection was taken to his speaking, as not being an elector. On the question being put direct to him, he declared that he Ras one, when he was allowed to proceed. The amendment being seconded was put, and negatived, and the original resolution carried by a large majority. The meeting, after a vote of thanks bad been tendered to the Chairman, separated. PRINCIPAL . CITIES AD SCOTLAND, . The general law applies to three distinct stages in the progress. of a railway share from its inspection to its completion. The first of these stages is the formation of the project, usually announced to the public by a - prospectus—the second is the allotment of scrip—and the third is•the passing of the Railway Act. In the first stage (i. e. prior to the allotment of scrip), no valid sale can be made. Even with respect to any joint-stock company commenced before Ist November, 1844, the validity of such a sale was extremely doubt ful ; and the Joint-Stock Companies Registration Act (7 and 8 Victoria, chap. 110, :wet. 26) provides, " with regard to subscribers and every person entitled or claiming to be entitled to any share in any joint stock cempany, the formation of which shall be commenced after the Ist November, 1844, that until such joint stock company shall have obtained a certificate of complete registration, and until any such subscriber or persen shall have been duly registered as a shareholder in the said registry office, it shall not be lawful for such person to dispose, by sale or mortgage, of such share, or any interest therein ; and that every contract for sale or disposal of such share or interest shall be void, and, that every person entering into such contract shall forfeit a sum not exceeding 10/." Registration must therefore precede sale ; and, as it is required by the 7th section of the Act that the. registered de. d shall state in a schedule, "'the - number of the shares which each sub- scriber holds, and the distinctive numb. rs thereof," the allotment of shares tnust precede registration. In the second stage (that of scrip) the 26th section of the Registration Act continues , to operate until the regis tration both Of the company and of the individual share holder has been completed. Whether contracts for scrip, after registration, but prior to the passing of the Railway Act, are valid or not, does not appear to be yet settled by any express decision. In the case of Jackson v. Cocker, decided by Lord Langdale in 1841, and rt ported in 4 Beavan 59, his Lordship said of scrip that it was '` commonly, but very erroneously, called shares," and that " the Act alone, when passed, constitutes shares, and makes them transferable." He added, that the legality of sales of scrip was " a question worthy of the moat serious consideration," and that he was "by no means disposed to treat lightly the " suggestions of Lord Tenderden in Josephs v. Pebrer" ' "(3 B. and C. 644). Lord Langdale, however, did not • decide the question of legality in Jackson v. Cocker, as it was unnecessary to do so ; and the decision in Josephs v. Pebrer was founded on the 18th sectien of the 6th Geo. 1, chap. 18, which was soon afterwards repealed by the lit section of Geo. 4, chap. 91. But one of Lord Tenterden's suggestions in Josephs v. Pebrer (and it was probably to this suggestion that Lord Langdale meant chiefly to refer) is, that " trafficking in these hares may very pessibly have been illegal at common law, as it was a bargaining aid wagering about an Act. of Parliament to be obtained in future." The ques tion at common law remains still open. '1 he 6th Geo. 4, only repeals the stati,tory prohibitions of 6 Geo. 1 ; and it does so on the express ground (stated in its preamble) . that "it is expedient" that such matters '" should be adjudged and dealt with in like manrer • as the same might have been ad . ) ueged and dealt with at common law, notwithstanding the said Act." But the common law objection appears at pr. sent to rest chiefly upon Lord Tenterden's sug gestions in Josephs v. Pebrer ; and his Lordship's ge neral doctrines on this chies of cases have been con sidered unsound by very eminent judges. The Joint stook Companies' Registration Act, which passed in 1844. may also strengthen the argument in favour of sales of scrip a'ter registration, as it expresste provides that the contract shalt be void when made before registration, which provision would have been unnecessary if it w• r.- void already; The question, however, cannot be con sidered finally settled till it has been judicially decided. It was expected to be raised in a case at the last York assizes, but the case was compromised. In :he third and - last stage (1. e. after the Act has pasted) a contract for sharps to clearly valid. A contract for the delivery of shares at a future day is not in itself illegal, nor does it become so merely. be cause the seller does not actually po..less the shares at the time of the contract, The eontrery doe'rine was once laid down at nisi priust by Lord - Tenterden, with re ference to a stele pf goods (Bryan v. Lewis, Ryan and Moody, 386) ; but the case went off or, a different point; and in .the epee of Hibblewhite v. 3slfMorine, 5 Meeson and Welsby, , 462; (which was upon a contract fur the delivery of rail Way shares at a future day,) Barons Parke, Alderson, andgaule.orerruled Lord Teuterden's dictum and held thiscontract legal, The buyer and eelier of shares have various remedies against each other. The usual one is, that the party who was ready and offered to perform his part of the contract ig due time recovers from the other the diffe reit T I)CtliTen the contract price and the market price Kt thy timP whep the shares ought to have been delivered or acceptettaseGainsford v. Carroll, U. and C. fi':4.— Boorinan v. Nash, 9 B. an 4 C. 144 ! --Stertup v. Cortazzi, 2 Crompton, Mt - Art.4.n, and Roscoe 165. An aunt sale or purchase in the market' of ^the shares contracted for, if made within a reasenable time (see Stewart v. Cauty, Meeson anti Welsby, 160);• and after not'ce to the de faulter, is the most satisfactory teat of this difference. • But (except where required by the terms of the con tract, or by some special rule or custo►n binding en the parties), it does not appear to be indispensably neces• 4r)• for ;,bp _pnrpnsp 9t . qtpporting an action.—Leigh v. Paterson, 4 Tonton. 449.. In all Railway Companies formed since Ist November, 1644, and in any other companies to which the Registra tion Act may apply, the liability of a regNered-hare holder to the debts and engageinente of the company. eontinues - after he has sold his :;hare, until the transfer of it to the purchaser has been registered. See 7 and 8 Victoria, chap, 119, ;melon 13. In companies to which the Registration Act does net apply, the liability de punts, upon the particular Acts by Which eaph company is regulated, A broker is personally PAIR for the fulfilment of his contrauts, unless his principal be named - or known to the other party at the time the contract is made. The mere fact of his being a broker does not exempt him from fe,r sonel liability, if the etintractbe madein his own name, and without disclosing his principal l nor can he relieve him self from liability, when once ineurred, by diselosing his principal afterwards—Magee v, Atkinson, 2 Meeson and Wolsby, 440. - In such a case, however, the other con tractieg -psrty has the option of proceeding against eithetthe broker, or tbp subsequently disclosed principal, though 'he may have originally tiehited the laroker— Paterson v. Gandasequi, 15 East, 62. And this option is not Lost, :}tough he knew at the time of the contract that the' broker Wee for anrincipal, unless. he also knew who the principal was—Tikompeen p.

C a ptain Barnard was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating the Objects for which the meeting had been called. It was to hear a statement of Sir William NI. lesworth's prin ciples, and to pass resolutions founded thereon. MOLESSVOIrTH commenced his address be say ing that he appeared b• fore them to solicit the hot:our Of being their representative in Parl i a ment.— ( Cheers. ) There were :two candidates in the field. Mr. Pilehce, Who was a Conservative, and Mr. Miall, who differed lery.httle from himself, and for whom personally he had the. grea test respect.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Miall had ,otat e d that he would rather that a Tory was returned than a Whig-Radical. He (Sir W. Molesworth) did . . 11 44 participate in that feeling, and he was • perfectly wil ing to leave it in the hands of the respective committves to t a ke the sense of the Liberal electors of the borough ill any manner they might think fit ; and if they decided ilgainst him and in favour of Mr. Miall, he would at once retir e , and assist by every means in his p ower to return !Ist gentleman to Parliament. At a meeting held last hig:;e„Mr..Miell had been set forth as the champion of teligtoir. freedom.- That gentleman could not be more LI than higiself. lie (Sir W. Molesworth) was against ' l l interferencit with the opinions of others. He would Ord the fullest lihtirty of thought to Protestants, ,Itholies and Disseaers. Jews or Christians on the 1 411tter of liberty of speech :::re the same to him. He rould make no difference between Cum in the eye of the 44gislature.—(Cheers.) He had always voted in ne• lordaece with those principles in Parliament, and he tight inform them that the emancipation of the Jews invariably received his support. While these were 's general sentiments on re li g ious libert y , be would i /ithlrm the meeting, for he had no wish to blink any O+aut;~n, that be was in favour of the Maynooth grant, ti ttlidhe„d lie been in Parliament he sh ou ld have voted for ' 4 lie supported that grant as a measure of State n ecessity, and as an act of justice to Ireland. A speaker at the meeting of last night, to which he had already ieferred, (the meeting of the 'Anti-State Church Asso ciation,) in referring to wha t he (Sir Wm. Molesworth) risi declared on this questi on ; char g ed him with gross tinnesty. The opinion of any p erson ; who could so far forget himself as to use such uncourteous expressions was .11 0 t entitled to much respect, Still he denied, in t,to, 1 4 charge. So far from be in g dishonest or shuffling. he on-orery occasion, openly and freely expressed his s tews on this question. This, too, when he might have evaded th e giAjeet altogether, it being retrospective, d i nvo lving its point relative to future rilicy. The Honourable Baronet then proceeded to place Ilefure the meeting his general political views— ^ substance the seine - as what we have already fiven. He was in favour of the extension of the sut ra, ge, triennial Parliaments and vote by ballot. He was 44 0 an unqualified free tra'cler.--(Cheers.) He had al '",ny been so, and was one of the first in Parliament to topose a total repeal of the corn.lates. He held this to the great question of the day, paramount to all others. ""'Re bp corn led to an increas e d c onsum p tion of mannfae fZres. facilitated exchanges between this and foreign s'ontries • and while it furnished the working ela,-ses - With •low-prieed food. it enlarged the field 'olemploy retlt, and raised the rate of wages.--(Hear, hear.) He 1 4 now stated his views on all the leading politicil questions of the day. Should they do him the honour 14f returning him to Parliament, he should be m os t /PPy, and he would do his b. st to serve them ; and it itt h :_w future time a majority of his supporters were 4ise et i, f i eL l with him he should resign his seat into their ends, He woL L I, I now submit himself to ans w er an y question that might be rroposed.--e(Cheers.) An ELECTOR asked if Sre William Molie,worth had si ghed a petition against the Maynooth,grant ? oh. W. MOLESWoRTH answered--NO. fir.

The resolution was then put and curried all but una etiaotiely. vote of thanks was then given to the Chairmar, '""011 the meeting separated. MEETING OF MR. MIALL'S FRIENDS. The friends of this gentletuati had a meeting last even at the London-bridge House Hotel, Mr. Apsley i'ellat i n th e c h a ir ; at which, after hearing an address I l l iall Yxposition of his principles, a 'resolution that Mr. was a proper person to represent the borough in "lament was proposed and carried.

NEW Msrriion OF PROTECTING WOOD FROM SEA' 1 WATER INSECTS.--Captain Sir Samuel Brown, R.N., in a letter to Admiral Sir Byam Martin, states that from numerous experiments and observations, he is satisfied 66 that at present. there is really no specific remedy against the attacks of the in sect called by entomologists ten-do navalis. or sea-worm, ex cept iron nails."

MANCHESTER. SHARE MARKET. The following is an interesting communiration from Messrs. flailton, of Manchester, respecting the share market : " During the present week the share business in Man chester has been conducted in a more sensille and rational manner than heretofore, by its separation from that impe tuous, pushing wildness noticed' in our last. Itailwal schemers, however, always on the alert for new "goes" quarter themselves, like tape-worm - 7 links, to engender lengthened ei,ease, and thus they now blazon. their. tinsel pretensions through the southern publications, in juxtapo sition with the firmly-established brilliancy of the fame.of a well-known railway director, while they tacitly hint to the inhabitants of those distant localities, that they should follow the exatnple cf the inhabitants•of Manchester, who have, it is stated, heaped, Irian no. doubt, grateful admiration, six teen hundred guineas worth of plate upon the head of another scion of the intuitive wunder-working genus of railway perfection. Whilst this is taking plate in the south, we be hold in the ncrth persons already weighed down with rail road premiums, inviting their friends and favourites to par take of the good things connected with provisional direc torship, of which themselves are already full to repletion. This kindness and consideration gives- the eel& of a ; better and more attractive variety of names than repeating the same set too often. ' Golden returns, without personal trouble, beyond opening your .purse-strings for the first fruits,' might be their cry—reckless of . the deluded sufferers that must bring up the rear. It is pretty well-known how sharply and extensively the share markets have, of late, been haunted by the ghosts of scrip, and the fearful hob goblins are not yet laid.

PONTOP AND SOUTH . SHIELDS RAILWAY. The general half-yearly meeting of the proprietors in this Railway Company was held yesterday at the Company's office, G uildhall-buildings. Mr. R. B. Rennie, in the absence of Mr. Stephenson, in the chair. The report having been read by the Secretary, which stated that the working of the line had been very satisfactory, and that, owing to several reduci ions, the Directors were enabled to state that the net profit for the half-vear was 10,417/. Its. 6d., which sum, with interest, was chargeable upon the debt of the Company, amounting to 4,757/. 10s., leaving, with a former balance of 465/.. 183. 3d., tke sum of 6,126/. Os. 9d. appli cable to a dividend; and the Directors, therefore, re commended that a dividend of a share for the half year be agreed to by the meeting. The quantity of coals shipped had been 398,000 tons, being considerably more than the quantity in the corresponding last half-year. The charge upon the Company had also been reduced by the liquidation of debt to the amount of 18,000/., bearing 5 pet cent. interest; and the Directors had also been enabled. to reduce the interest upon the mortgage debt of the Company. By these tnet.na, the annual debt of the Company...would be reduced by 1,1001., which wouln be, in fact, --so much added to their income. Si ce the last mettiag of the Company, the regula tion which had exist:Al-so - long (for upwards of a century) tor limiting thz motiihlyquatititics shipped by each colliery, usually !Mown as the vend, had ceased, and the immediate consequence Of breaking up the regulation had been a considerable reduction in the shipping price of coal. • The reduction, of course, bad been severely feet by the owners of collieries using the Pontop and South Shields Railway. The colliery owners, therefore, strongly urged upon the Company the reduction of the tolls upon the line. The Director. therefore, had had an interview with the colliery owners, but had not decided upon the course to be pursued. The report was then received and adopted by the meeting. A desultory discussion then' ensued as to the terms to be offered to the coal-owners, but nothing definite was agreed to. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourueJ. DISS, BECCLES, AND YARMOUTH RA I L WA Y. A g , ner4l meeting of this Company was held yesterday, at the London 'I avers, Hr. C. lieewieke in the chair. The SECKETA ItY having read the advertisement convening the meeting, laid before the Proprietors the report commenting on the withdrawal of the liill from Parliament. The Directors having previously agreed to return one p , tund to the Share holsters in ttle event of non-success, a meeting in February last released them from that engag► ►nent. An investigation of the traffic tables having been made, it has been found advis• able, from the great advantages anticipated as accruing from the full support of the Yarmouth inhabitants, to make arra•tgements for a new . Company, Called the Waveny Valley Company, giving preference of shares to the shareholders of this Company, to the same extent as their present interest. They will, therefore, be entitled to the same number of shares in the new as in the old Company. The D►rectors, therefore, were enabled to return ttie Sum of 11. 2s. ed. per share to the present scrip holders, which far exceeds what the surplus of the original deposit would have allowed, had not this agreement been elite' ed into. The report was then adopted unanimously, and a vote of thanks having been accorded to the Chairman, the meeting separated. INCENDIARY FIRE AT FOLKINCIIAM.—At three o'clock on Sunday morning the inhabitants of Folkingham, in the county of Lincoln, were suddenly alarmed by a cry of " Fire," and great numbers rose from their beds and rushed to the extensive stack-yard and premised at the back of the Grey hound Inn, occupied by Air. Casswell, where they found a large granary filled with oats enveloped in flames, threatening inevitable destruction to the surrounding stacks of newly got the excellent engine pr o v i d ed for the town by Sir G.

Suspicion tell upon sonic Irish labourers in the neighbourhood, with whom some unpleasantness had taken place a day or two before; there, however, was not proof sufficient to warrant their ap prehension. The alarm was given by Thomas Burrows, keeper of th New lon tap, which is contiguous to the stack-yard. This is the second fire that has taken place upon nearly the same spot within a few months. 1 ROYAL SEA-BATHING. INFIR -1 MARY—MARE ATE. On Monday the 50th anniversary of the establishment , of this most excellent institution was celebrated at the Town-hall, by upwards of sixty gentlemen. The Right Hon the L , r I Ma) orwas in the chair. Near his Lordship were seat e d th e Very Rev. Archdeacen Hollingsworth, Alderman Kelly, Alderman an I Sgt riff Hunter, Alderman aatl Sheriff Sidney, an I several other citizens of high standing and character. - • After the Chairman had proposed, and the company had 'drunk she toasts of the -Quiet), the patron, and the Queen Dowager,- the pitroness of the institution, and the other usual loyal and patriet . c toasts, with great applatise and enthusiasm, The LORD Mayon rose to give " Success to the Royal Sea-Bathing Infirmary." He felt the utmost gratifica , tion in stating that the infirmary established as it had been for the relief of the pour who laboared- under scro fulous maladies, had been mot rapidly advancing in utility, and that each 'successive season . abun dantly testified to the vast amount of t,.0 el it effec.ed. In the first year of it, institution 16 patisn's were admitted : and, in 1844, GS6 was . the number to which its advantages were extereled. so that it formed no inconsiderable degiee of pride and satisfaction to re flect that the supporters of the infirmary were that day cr lebrating its jubilee—(Cheers)—that nearly 19,000 patients —most of them deep:y afflicted by the disease against which the institution was, 1 y the skill and libe rality with which it was supporter?, making head—had derived signal adventatree, which any other mode of ter fitment was ineapeble of producing, and that the whole of the establishment was conducte.l upon a plan of economy, so well regulated, as - to supply the patients with the sort of Itv:ng which was indispensable to their recovery.—(Cheers.) The chief expense consisted of the charges for the articles :constantly supplied for the purpose of adding to the comforts or those who were the victims of the - aerially. Of the propriety of supporting ith all the vigour of a zealous and indefatigable activity au institution to the excellence of which the united voice of the higheit medical and surgical authoriti e s in the kingdom bore most willing and ample testimony, there could be no reasonable cptestion. The meeting of that day was ominous of the increasing exertions and success of the benevolent friends of the institution, and he felt assured that the jubilee year would be followed by anniversaries of much larger profit, and th it the Committee would be enabled to look at it by the side of other adMirable establishments with some pride of com parison. The toast was drunk with loud acclamations. The LORD MAYOR next proposed, " The Archbishop Of Canterbury and the Bishop of Landon, and the clergy." The two Learned Prelates whom ho had named entertained the highest opinion of the infirmary, and manifested that opinion by the most liberal contri butions, as well as by repeated verbal acknowledgments of their faith in its efficacy. In fact, to the ministers of the church the infirmary was indebted for the most prompt and able support.—(Cheers.) Archdeacon HOLLINGSWORTH returned thanks en be half of the church, and bore testimony to the disposition of the - Primate and of the Bishop of London to aid the efforts of the Committee. It gave him, he declared, the utmost satisfaction to be called upon, unworthy as he was, to express his feelings by answering to such a toast, for it was the Primate of England who had advanced him from the comparative obscurity of a college to the performance of more important duties.—(Cheers.) It gave him infinite pleasure to propose the " Health of the Lord Mayor." It was known to these most actively en gaged in dispensing the blessings of the institution with what zeal and efficiency the Lord Mayor had always exerted himself for the prosperity of so admirable a charity. The toast was drunk with three times three, and amidst uncommon demonstrations of applause. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks for the manner in which his health had been proposed and drunk, and declared that it W4B peculiarly acceptable to him to be a witness of such acknowledgments on the thirty-third anniversary of his treasurership.—(Cheers.) His lord ship then proposed the health of Alderman Kelly and the Vice-Presidents of the Institution. Alderman KELLY, in returning thanks, said he should continue to visit on the anniversary day an institution of which he entertained so exalted an opinion. He had, when Lord Mayor, in the capacity of chairman, made that promise, and nothing but bad health should at all interfere with his determination. He felt high gratifi cation in being present at the jubilee of the charity, and he hoped that Providence would grant him the privilege of witnessing the day of the celebration of the present chairman's treasurership.—(Loud cheers.) He hoped too to see the external appearance of the edifice bear a more fair proportion to the comforts of the in terior, and that a day wo Ad be soon appointed to take that subject into consideration. The toast of " The Medical Board" having been en thusiastically drunk, Mr. CURLING returned thanks, and testified to the satisfactory progress made amongst 4he patients to the restoration of the blessings of health, through the power ful agency of the institution. It was with great sin cerity he declared that every thine that could be done had been done for the comfort and restoration to health of the patients —(Cheers.) The Secretary read a list of contributions, amounting to the sun of nearly 1,0001., bearing some of the highest names in the country. His Lordship next proposed the Margate Committee, and Mr. Conn returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN said he felt much pleasure in d: ink hie to the health of the Sheriffs of London, who had shown such read . tiess to aid the institution. Alderman and Sheriff HUNTER regretted that he had not been long ago informed of the peculiar advan tages of the institution, but from what he had th It day hedid he had resolved to do all in his power to assist so excellent a charity. Allerman and Sheriff SIDNEY said he had hail the ad vantage of visiting the infirmary, and he was convinced from what he fad seen that every effort was made by all actively engaged in conducting it, to increase its effiacy, by adding as much as possible to the comforts of the pa tients. He particularly alluded to the Lord Mayor, whose independent spirit as a public man all who were capable of judging admired, and one of the brightest gems in whose public life that institution constituted. The pleasure of the evening was much enhanced by the admirable singing of Messrs. Charles Taylor, Francis Fitzwilliam, &c. MEETING OF THE ANTI-STATE CHURCH ASSOCIATION. A public meeting of the members and friends of this Society was held on Monday, at the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark . As it was understood from an intimation in the advertisement calling the meeting together, that the business would have re lation to the pending election, a considerable number of persons attended. . ---- :hwriilnlisattnantnetorvotyh,e co e m xe m c n u n to ly rs, na t l h le e d ERaiig.iht Jermyn, Hon.

EXPLOSION AT BISIIOPWEARAIOUTII IRONWORKs.— On Thursday, the 21st instant, an inquest was held at Sunder land, before Air, Maynard, Coroner, on view of the body of a youth named William Irving, who had met with his death un der the following circumstances :—lt appeared that Messrs. them down to metal.

The jury, after hearing the above facts, returned a verdict of " Acciden. tal death." Mr. APSLEY PELLATT took the chair, and briefly explained that the Committee of the Association had availed themselves of the present cri.ical state of the borough to vindicate and maintain the principles which it was their especial object to advance. The Rev. Dr. Cox rose to propose the first resolution, which embraced a vindication of the voluntary principle, on which the British Anti State Church Association was founded. He referred to the objections raised against clergymen in terfering in political affairs, and defended such interference on the ground that the ecclesiastical institutions of this country were essentially political. The Established Church was a political church, founded on the parchments of Parliament—( Hear)—and if they wanted clergymen not_to be political, it was easy to effect that object by separating the Church from the State.—( Cheers.) To effect the latter object let them send right men to Parliament, not men who would go to sleep on the benches, and vote when they woke at the beck of the Minister—not men who were willing to swear anything they were asked, and when they got into Parliament entirely forgot their constituents and their oaths—not men such as these, but men who knew their principles, and were determined to maintain them.—( Cheers.) Now, he had a friend who had started as a candidate for a borough, not very far from that—( Laughter and cheers)--and he knew him to be right-minded, sound-hearted, truly talented, and above all truly pious, and determined to carry out his principles.—(Cheers.) This was net the case with every pretender in these days. —( Great cheering.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by calling on the meeting to affirm the resolution. JOSIAH COWDER, Esq., seconded the resolution. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried with a fssw dissentients. • The Rev. JOHN BURNETT proposed the next resolution, to the effect that the recent discuisions in Parliament, on the Maynooth grant, showed that from the views prevalent amongst the two great parties of the State, religious liberty in this country was in imminent peril; and that it was therefore incum bent on Protestant Dissenters to return men to the House of Commons who knew their principles and were willing and able to maintain them in the Legislature. The Rev. Wm. FOSTER. seconded the resolution, which was carried with the same degree of unanimity as characterised the former one. Dr. PRICE proposed the third resolution, pledging the meeting to give its cordial support to Mr. Wall at the ap proaching election ; which, having been seconded by the Rev. G. Rota, was carried in the affirmative. Thanks were then voted to the CHAIRMAN. and the meeting separated. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE MOONLIGHT. Last evening, an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, the Coroner, at the St. Martin's public-house, Duke-street. Adelphi, on the body of James Purcell, aged 13, who met with his death from a frightful accident on board the Moonlight, on Monday evening last. Mr. James Coppock, solicitor, of Cleveland row, appeared, from motives of charity, on behalf of the parents of deceased; Mr. Catterns on behalf of the Iron Steam-boat Company. Mr. Edward Richards, of 1, King-street, Cheapside , de posed that he was on board of the boat at the time of the accident. When they arrived at Hungerford she was fastened to the Prince of Wales. After landing and taking in passengers, the boat was set in motion by the direction of the captain. The tore, which had not.been unfatened, caught the boy's leg, abd cut off his foot, which fell into the river and sunk. No orders were given to unfasten the rope before the captain gave the word to go a-head. There was no one on board the Prince of Wales to let go the rope. If there had, the accident would not have happened. When a cry was raised, the boat was stopped, but not before the boy's foot was torn off. Mr. J. Marsh saw the deceased fall on the meek. Heard a cry of " Stop her," Then sa w that his foot had been torn off at the ankles and blood streaming from the maimed limb. The boat was not crowded, yet the lad sat in a coil of ropes at the head of the boat. Mr. Walter Scott, secretary to the Harwich and firming. ham Junction, gave similar testimony. He sat about a itard from the deceased. He did not see the rope flq.cinal to the Prince of Wales. When the captain pie the signal to go on, he saw the rope coil rand the boy's leg. He and others ca ll e d pet to (Olsten, the rope, but there was no one on the podie,bwa, or an board the Prince of Wales, who heeded the cry A lady came, but she was afraid to touch the rope, a s one of the crew were in the bows of the Moonlight at the time, A man came up when it was ton late. If the boy had been on the seat, the accident would probably not have hap pened. The rope was a yard from the end of the seat. Mr. Catterns said it was the duty of the piessaa; SA'sei go the rope when the word . Was given by the captain. Mr. Frederick Nicolle ‘ 91 the surgeons at Charing-cross Hospital, prov e d th e qemttou of the deceased shortly atter the aOder.t o 'M'onday eyening.

NEWCASTLE, AUG. 25.—1 have just r, turned from the inquest held on the bodies of the tuffeters by - the fatal explosion at Jarrow Colliery, and the inquiry, which bega❑ this morning at ten o'clock, and continued with out intermission, came to a close about hvif past five this - evening, when the jury returned a verdict of—" Acci dental Death." The inquest was begun by the examination of Mr. Johling, viewer of the colliery, who was observed fre - quently to shed tears as he detailed the proceedings that he and others adopted as soon as made acquaint«l with the occurrence, and informed the jury that, in his opinion, the fire had originated in the low main seam, at a spot denominated the West Flat Mothergate Board, and gave as the only reason fur that cpinion'that he had on the Saturday and Sunday heard the gas issuing from the coal or stone, he could not tell which,. seeing that he could not get to the spot on account of some very heavy falls cf stone. He gave testimony also as to the general safety and excellent ventilation of the pit previous to the explosion, which was corroborated by the sub sequent witnesses. There was one circumstance connected with the Coro ner's conduct in this melancholy affair that I feel desi rous of draping your attention to, namely—on Saturday last, several of the friends of the sufferers requested Mr. Thos. Horn, of Newcastle, Mr. James Mother, of South Shields, and myself to attend the inquest, and solicit the Coroner to allow us to ask a few questions of the witnesses, which might appear to us requisite to elicit every it& ,r -tnation connected with the explosion, also to request the Coroner to adjourn the inquest for a day or two, in order to ascertain whether Sir J. Graham would consent to send down the Commissioners lately appointed to examine into the ventilation of mines, lie having been written to for that purpose. However, the Coroner re fused to adjourn the inquest, although one mat-ri::1 witness was absent—the man who had been saved after being thirty-six hours in the pit, but who is in so weak a state at present as not to be able to be examined. This conduct on the part of the Coroner, to say the least of it, did appear to us as very uncourteous to the relatives of the sufferers. I'HE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. TH E CROPS.—The harvest weather continued very favourable until Monday night, when there was a very violent storm in Winchester and throughout this dis trict. The rain continued incessantly pouring in torrents during the whole of Tuesday, and at intervals on Wed nesday. On Thursday the weather cleared up, and har vesting was generally resumed. Th e a pp earance o f t h e crops from here to Southampton is very satisfactory. At Bishopstoke, and many other places, the barley is as forward as the wheat, and all along the line the crops are being reaped, instead of being mowed, the former being much more advantageous to the gathering of the crops. The blight has had no effect, but wherever the crop has failed, or appears light, it is owing to the wheat having been backward sown, or where it has been attacked by the wire-worm. Near Alton is the only place where the crops are backward, and up to Thursday there were only about two acres cut in that township. At Alresford and its vicinity the wheat is 'not so good as last year, although the crops of barley are better. Some few samples of . wheat . 'were exhibited at the corn market here on Saturday, although there was but a small quantity offered for sale.-=Hampshire Advertiser. The weather in this distriet,.we.are sorry to say, still con tinues unpropitious far the season. Two dry days are all that we can record out of the past week. During Wednesday, for the whole day, the rain poured down incessantly, and through the course of last night, we have had some of the most severe showers of the season. To-day the rivers are flooded to a considerable extent, showing that the storm has extended over a great breadth of country. The commencement of even par tial harvest with the wheat and oat crops, is thus deferred for another week at the earliest. With all this, there is a con siderable change in the appearance of the fields since our last notice. The different kinds of wheat are now distinguishable from the colour, and, on some fields, the oats have progressed considerably ; and make it obvious to the onlooker, that some of them will be soon ready for the sickle.— Glasgow SatOrday Post. The weather with which we are at present. favoured is highly seasonable and most beneficial for the harvest opera tions. Occasional and heavy showers fell on Monday and Tuesday. and threatened to break the fine weather which had previously appeared to set in ; we are glad, how ever, that the fears of. the farmers in this district have not been realised by' the 'result. The wheat had not been materially injured by the rains that had fallen, but a longer continuance of them would have been produc tive of immense mischief. Indeed the only injury which the wheat appears to have suffered, and that only in tome districts, has been from unfavourable blossoming tim:c . , when, being partially knee bound, the sap was not so copiously com municated to the kernel. Around Devonport the harvest is rapidly progressing, and numerous fields have already been cleared of an excellent and abundant crop. Farther north, however, the wheat has not been cut, th o u g h rea d y f or t h e reap-hook. The crop of barley and oats is also very good. Potatoes generally, but especia:ly the early sort, have failed; the later kinds, however, artivery well in appearance. —Devon • port Telegraph. The weather for the last few days, with a few showery in tervals, has been most propitious for all kinds of farming pur poses, and harvest business is is brisk opera'ion in all directions. In early harvesting operations Louth seems to be pretty far for ward this season, of which we witnessed a pleasing Instance et few days ago, J. Wols , y, Esq., of Castlebellingham, having had 100 reapers in one field, mating down oats, which was a splendid sight. Mr. Wolsey is one of the most spirited and enterprising agriculturists in the kingdom, and is the manu facturer of that cheering and wholesome beverage—the far famed Castl..bellinghant ale. The large tract of land which has this year been ' reclaimed off the sea at Lurgan Green, is now under a heavy crop of wheat, oats, and barley ready for the sickle. It is the property of Thomas Furtescue, Esq , of Raven-'dale, who deserves much credit for his enterprise and benevolence in providing employment for the working classes in the vicinity. of his estates. On the whole, Irish farmers never had more cheering prospects than the pre sent season affords. — Armagh Sporting Chronicle. At the close of the past week a considerable breadth of wheat was carted from the light lands, and in pretty good con dition. That grown upon the heavy lands ripens very irregu larly, and when cut requires a more genial sun to harden the kernel and to change the colour of the straw, which is in places very green. The rain, up to the present time, has not done so much damage as was at one time apprehended; we hear of but little having speared, and the red-gum complaint appears to be almost forgotten. Of swarth corn little has at present been carted; barley is a heavy crop, and in some places unavoidably foul, it will therefore require longer fielding, and, owing to the heavy dews which may now be expected, that crop, which is always a hazardous one, may be said to be in considerable danger, owing to the lateness of the season. The oats are thinner, and will be more quickly carried if the weather permits. The late showers have been very partial.—Essex Herald. THE EATHER.—The unfavourable state of the weather excites the utmost dread and anxiety among all classes of persons. The continuous fall of rain which we have experi enced this last week cannot fail to have inflicted serious injury on the standing crops, while it has produced almost an entire cessation from out-door labour. Sunday morning was beauti ful, and great hopes were entertained that a permanent change had taken place.but by mid-day the sky was overcast, the rain agaip set in, and throughout the evening it fell in tor rents. Monday was Moderate, though not dry. Tuesday morning it again raked, and on that day and the following night and day it literally poured down without intermission, while, a strong wind blew from the berth-w es t. Th e r i ver became swollen and discoloured, giving evidence that the rain was general throughout the district. The sea was lashed into a storm, and everything around bore resemblance to the dreariest aspect of winter.. Had the. weather (been fair, har vest would have been partially, commenced •in (the district. A field of barley was intended to be ,cut.at Mindrum on Monday, while at Longridge and in that quarter some fields of the same grain should have been subjected to the sickle by this time. The white crops are very much beaten down and twisted, while a second growth is making its appearance. The tributaries to the Tweed are all very much swollen. The Till so much ex ceeded its boundary on Wednesday as to render the road be tween Wooler and this unpas,able.—Berwick Advertiser. THE CROPS.-llarvesting has been commenced in this-vicinity, and haymaking has progressed. On Sunday we saw some hay being turned, which :was ready for making a month or five weeks ago, had the weather permitted the opera tion. It is, of course, greatly Ascoloured,' 'and deprived of sweetness. Sunday, being a drying. day', gaie a spur to the reaper, and a great quantity of corn fbll on Monday ; but on Tuesday, the fields were deluged with' heavy rains—succeeded yesterday by sunshine and fine drying winds, which, if conti nued a few days, would ' p:ove of , inestimable value. The disease in the potato crop is increasing. —Dever Chronicle. BIDEFORD.—New oats were sold here:on the 19th. The samples were exceedingly fine, and several bushels were sold at an average of 2s. 3d. imperial bushel. The weather since our last has been favourable to the harvest, although we have had heavy rains, especially on Tuesday, which was a thoroughly wet day. There was a good deal of wheat carried, and in excellent order, on Saturday and Monday • and, with a continuance of fi ne weather, we s hall have the harvest pretty general in another week. From the reports we read in the papers we -incline to think that the north of Devon is earlier with its harvest this year than usual, in comparison with the other parts of the kingdom ; and from all that we can yet learn, there is not so. much reason here of complaint of the crops as appears to prevail elsewhere. There can be no ques tion that the wheat has' received damage; but the general opinion seems still to be, that with favourable weather wheat will be in ai% , erage crop, and the other grains and mots will un questionably be very atiOndant.—Noriti j o , nal of August 21. ESTATE OF -KELLY.—If proof was wanting to show what an extraordinary increase has taken place in the value of land in this country during the last half century, we might point to the great price which the sale of each successive estate brings that is put in to Olt bAjaket.

Oa Tuesday evening the weather, which had promised to become more set led, underwent a change. The wind took •up its quarters in the north-east, and the rain commenced falling heavily, and continued throughout the night without intermission. Oo Wednesday, the wind hal increased and the rain in no de f ine dimi nished, causing great anxiety for property, both on land and sea. The rivers and streams rose to a considera ble height: Dee and Don were both swollen ' • De veron and vario us o th er waters h a d b een fl oo d e d still higher, and carr i e d awa y, f rom t h e fi e ld s in their respective neighbourhoods. great quantities of bay that had, on account of the changeable weather, not been " stacked." The grain on their banks in several districts was severely injured. The damage done to the crops has not, however, been confined to that eflrcted by flooded streams—much more has been done by the rain and wind in laying'' heavy crops. M an y a fine field has had a great portion of its rich contents so damaged, that there is little chance of its ripening ; " and upon the whole, from what we hear , w e believe not less than ten per cent of the growing crop will ha ve been destroyed. So much for the land. We will now note dawn a few of-the (in . some instances still more melancholy) ill doings of the storm by sea. No vessel left the harbour throughout Wednesday. Those engaged In the h err i ng fishing have suffered mot by the storm. A num b er of t l l 'e i t s cr b h a e ) a . d o nboats—ab out Wednesday -seven—pa sse d , t h roug h morning, drif t i ng sout h war d - Seven of them made for this harbour, and succeeded in gaining it, with the exception of one, which was thrown upon The point of the North Pier, and went to pieces. No lives were lost, but all the nets, sail and tackle, belonging to the boat, and a take of fourteen crans of herrings, went to the bottom. The other boats scudded south war d s ; and the Bonnie Dundee, which arrived here on Wednesday evening, brought word that, during the passage from Granton, large fleets of fishing vessels were seen, every now and then. running south, making, as *as supposed, for the Frith of Forth. Only one or two Aberdeen boats were out on that day, or during the ten days previous. Indeed, so little has been doing at this port, that the greater portion of the boats that commenced the season here have migrated to other quarters. Considerable anxiety was felt f'r those that were out. They returned, however, safe, having found shelter during the storm—one of them arrived yester day with the largest take of herrings that has been made. during the season—averaging, to us nearly as the fisher , men could calculate, from 45 to 50 crans. The storm, which raged with great violence on this coast, left in this neighbourhood some consid e r a bl e traces , s h ort -li ve d perhaps, of its Trio, having totally destroyed the tuke nets along the beach.—Abe , deen He old.
