The dinner of the Royal Agricultural a Improve ment Society of Ireland, which ca me , ff in the me tropolis of the sister isle on Thursday . evening last , Was a prominent and gratifying feature i n the o p era er tions of th e grand national cattle show, now bein g held in that city. The Duke of LEINSTER, wh o s e'ier found to afford with readiness the prestig e o n ais Influence and his name to any measure calculated to promote the social interests of bie native land, presided on the occasi on ; an d i t i s p l eas i ng t o find the prominent part taken by several Irish noblemen, in giving an im palm to the operatio ns o f t hi s wje f i a Association, There was one branch of practical farming alluded to by the Earl of ERNE which it would be well if it were more generally attended to, especially in Ire land. Personal observation enables us to testify to the wasteful disregard of one of the most useful mi nisters towards the production of crops, namely, liquid manure. The Noble Earl took occasion to illustrate the advantages of a judicious use of that powerful fertilizer by adducing two instances of its efficacious employment in Scotland; one on the farm belonging to an eminent distiller near Glasgow, on which, though the soil was of the most inferior description, yet excellent crops were produced by means of this liquid manure, dispersed over the farm through iron pipes by the power of a steam engine; the other on that of Mr. KENNEDY, of Ayr, who had employed it in the irrigation of upwards of 300 acres. En couraged by the beneficial results which he had wit nessed on the grounds of his Scotch friends, Lord ERNE, on returning home, set himself about the adoption of the system. " I caused," said the Noble Speaker, " two tanks to be erected capable of con taining 1,000 gallons of this liquid ; I purchased iron pipes to the length of three miles, which I spread over 350 acres, and after irrigating the land through these pipes by the pressure of a steam-engine, I computed the cost of manuring the 350 acres to be 601., whereas, by the old system I should have expended 1/. per acre, or 3501." It is to be hoped that, this plain statement, coming from a proprietor of so high station, may con tribute towards awakening the Irish agriculturists to the obvious advantages attendant on an imitation of the skilful Scotch farmer. With a soil, distinguished in the main for its superior ;natural productiveness, and with no deficiency of intellect or of observation, how comes it to pass that the Irish is so far behind the Scotch agriculturist ? Simply from a want of steadiness and system, and an idle adherence to an tiquated usages. The musquetoon was, doubtless, a very good weapon in its day, but it would cut a very sorry figure at the present in competition with a six chambered rifle. Improvements must be adopted and worked out with perseverance to prevent dis graceful and disastrous consequences, for in the pre sent phase of industrial competition the farmer can afford as little as any class to pursue a jog-trot rate of motion. Believing that the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Ireland is conducive to the promotion of agricultural improvement in a country where it is so imperatively de manded for the prosperity, we may almost say the existence of the mass of its inhabitants, we heartily invoke success on its proceedings, and on the aspirations and labours of its members and adherents. We trust, with Lord CLANCARTY, that Irishmen will in future take the lead in developing the resources of their country, and that they will take agriculture as their commencement. It is essential to the ex istence of that people; it is essential to their comfort, and would render their country fit to take its proper place in the commerce of the world. It might have been imagined that the HENDREN6 and the JERNINGHAMS would, after the unenviable notoriety they had recently acquired in connexion with the case of Miss TALBOT, have been contented to retire into the obscurity from which, had they been wise, they would never have attempted to emerge. Such, however, is not the case ; there are some per sons, more especially the weak-minded and bigoted, whose m orbid craving after notoriety is such that it must be gratified at whatever cost, and the parties to the intended incarceration of ItitS TALBOT seem to be labouring under this morbid craving. This morning has from two distant parts of the United Kingdom hiought us intelligence of the HEN DRINS and the JERNINGHIMS. From Dublin we hear that HENDREN, the letter-writer par excellence, whose letters in their relation to the case of mi ss TA.Lnor will never be forgotten or furgiven by his co-priests for the damaging admissions they made, has, in the indulgence of his favourite propensity of letter -writing, been making admissions as fatal to himself as his admissions in his former letters were fatal to the Roman Catholic cause. In a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Roman Catholic Defence Association, he has actually signed himself IL HENDEEN, Bishop of Nottingham, thus wilfully violating the enactments of the Ecclesias tical Titles Assumption Bill, and wilfully courting that prosecution which the more astute Dr. ULLA THORNE cautiously avoids, by signing his Christian and surname only, without any titular designation. Can it be that the unfortunate HENDREN is the victim of a trick, and that his more cunning brethren have, by appeals to his vanity, in duced him to commit a breach of the law, in order that, by subsequent appeals to his fears, they may induce him for a while to seek refuge on the continent, and thus rid themselves of the presence of the Enfant ter rible, whose peculiar vocation it seems to be to inflict irreparable injury upon every cause which is so unfor tunate as to have his support ? The case of Dr. HEN DEEN is amusing; that of the JERNINGHAM family is deeply painful, and exhibits one of the most remark able instances ever recorded of the abject servility to which the mind is brought which once suffers itself to be reduced into obedience to the priesthood, and the utter want of feeling, we are almost inclined to say the diabolical love cf torture, which the priesthood ivariably exhibit when th e y get into their power those who either expose their impositions or oppose their mac hi na ti on s. The Plymouth Journal of yesterday publishes the following extraordinary account of the abduc tion of a Protestant child from its Protestant mother on Sunday last, at Plymouth, and of its removal to the notorious convent at Taunton, where, under the tender care of Miss JERNINGHAM, Mi ss TALBOT WES 80 long immured. " Mr. FREDERICK WILLIAM JERNINGHAM," says the Plymouth Journal, " is a Roman Catholic, and a brother of that Miss JERNINGHAM who is at the head of the nunnery re cently so notorious as the place of incarceration of MISS TALBOT. Mr. JERNINGHAM, some years since, married Miss MANGLES, the daughter of the late Rev. GEORG E MA y NGLEB, vicar of Lewannick, Cornwall, and that lady !subsequently conformed to the Boum Catholic faith. They cnetinusel to live tegether for some years, but diff-rences eventually arose, and a separation ensued. Mr. ‘hRNINGHAM is like many other gentlemen, rather needy, and repeatedly, we are told, were his debts paid by Mrs. MANGLES. In the year 1847 they separated, and in 1848, while Mrs. JERNINGHAM was living with her mother at Southampton, she still re tained possession of her children, but one morning in the month of March Mr. JERNINGHAM was seen watching Mrs. MANGLES' house, and having a servant in his interest, he got the door opened fur him. The two children came down to breakfast, when Mr. JERNINGLIAM rushed into the passage, threw a bonnet and shawl over each child, and forcibly carried them off. The eldest child had been very 111, and was taken away at the risk of her life, as she had not re covered, and the medical man bad ordered that she should not leave the house. Miss JERAINQIIAM, the abbess of the convent at Taunton, received these chil dren, though against the consent of their mother and grandmother, on whom the children depended. They remained at the convent until the stir in Miss TAL BOT'S case, when they were clandestinely removed to the convent of Notre Dame, at Namur, in Belgium." That Mrs. JERNINGHAM should cease to have any connexion with a Church which thus wantonly and inhumanly encouraged the violation of the highest and holiest ties—those, namely, which unite a mother to her children, is what might have been naturally ex pected; and we are, therefore, not surprised to learn that Mrs. (IMMINGHAM has ceased to hold com munion with members of the Burnish persuasion. After stating these facts the Plymouth Journal thus proceeds :—" Recently a gentleman of high conside ration in this town had an interview with Mr. JER NINGHAM in London, and obtained from him a solemn promise on his honour, that he would not remove his child from the care of his wife by stratagem. Mrs. JERNINGHAM'S legal adviser was present when this promise was made. Probably, as the child was being brought up as a heretic, Mr. JERNINGHAM has been able to get a dispensation. It appears that on Sunday last, from the inquiries that we have made, while Mrs. JERNINGHAM was in St. Andrew's Chapel, a stranger entered after the service bad commenced, and looking over towards Dr. BUTTER'S seat, where Mrs. JERNINGHAM bad recently sat before she was accommodated with a pew for her self and children, said that he should like to be put into the Doctor's pew. He then excused himself from going there, probably from not seeing his wife there, and asked to be put near where Mrs. JERNING HAM sat. He thus became acquainted with her posi tion in the chapel, which was near the south door, and be then took a seat just inside the door, where he remained till the close of the service. In due time Mrs. JERNINGHAM came out of the church, being followed, as she supposed, by her children ; but on Linking for her little boy, he was nowhere to be found. She then went house, thinking that be might have preceded her, but he had not come home, and as nothing could be heard of him it was feared, and but too truly feared, that the poor little fellow bad been seized and carried off." This fear was reduced to a certainty the next day, by the receipt of a letter from Mr JERNINGIIAM, stating that he had carried off the child. It happens, uefertunately, that the present state of our law permits the perpetration of these atrocities ; but it is to be hoped that another session will not be permitted to pass without the enactment of a law preventing, for the future, the ab duction and imprisonment, under the pretence of re ligion, of children of tender years. The true principle of legislation is not to permit that to be done under pretence of religion which you would not per mit to be done under any other pretence. If a show man is punished for collecting a crowd by his exhi bition, and thus obstructing the public thoroughfares so ought a preacher who collects a crowd, and creates an equal obstruction ; and so with regard to monas teries and nunneries, the public safety demands that they should be placed under at least as stringent a surveillance as other lunatic asylums. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The day being the feast of the Assumption was observed fill a iete, and the Bourse was closed. The Patric has the following semi-official pera. graph _ _ The Messager de l'Assemblie published yesterday the itinerary of a tour which it declares the President of the Republic had decided on shortly making. Accord ing to that journal the President had at first intended to proceed to the camp of LuLdville, but afterwards gave up the idea; and now proposes setting off for the South from the 20th to the 25th inst. We cannot say where the Messager has obtained the information authorising it to give a sort of offi,:ial programme, but from the intelligence which we have received, and which we have every reason to believe exact, the President never had any intention to go to Lut‘ville, where, besides, there is no extraordinary assemblage of troops. As to the excursion to the south, which, according to the state ment of the Messager, was to include Bordeaux and the two Charentes, we think 'we can affirm that the Presi dent, notwithstanding his great desire to comply, to wards the end of the mess, with the wishes of the popu• istiuns of that part of Francs, has not as yet come to arty determination on the subject. We consider it almust utince,ssary to add that ao notice on the subject has been rartsmitted to the Pretects of these departmehtb." The Moniteur announces ,the translation of Mgr. PARIS'S, &Ay of Langres, to the bishopric of Arras, in the place of Cardinal DB LA TOUB,D'AIPfIaGNE LAURAGUAIS, deceased. The Committee appointed by the Republicans to watch over the safety of the Republic during the re cess consists of MM. CRENIEUX, VICTOR HUGO, JOLT, CASOAL, RAaPAIL , and MIOT.

STOPPAGE IN MANCHESTER.-It was rumoured day or two ago that the old and respectable house of Richard Gould and Co., in the fustian trade at Manchester, had stopped payment, and a private meeting of creditors was summoned, it appears, for Wednesday. The balance sheet was then found to be not quite ready, and the meeting wss postponed to yesterday (Friday). The liabilities are estimated at 48,0001, a-d the assets at about 30,000/ The ,osses will fall principally upon the bankers and upon rela tives. Mr. Gould is connected with the firm of Gould and Cooper, spinners of Oldham, but this firm id understood to be perfectly solvent. It is expected that a very respectable composition will be offered to the creditors. On Monday fiat one of the boilers of the Orion steam-boat was brought into Portpatnck Harbour. If the weather continues favourable, it is expected that the whole of the wreck will shortly be got ashore. We understand that Mr. James Martin, one of the surveyors under the Committee for I loyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping, has been seat to Dean Forest, in Gloucestershire, to examine and determine the quwtity of English oak timber, felled in that forest, which is fit for shipbuilding purposes. Mr. Martin was brought up is her Msjesty's dockyard at Chatham, and has had much expe rience, as Lloyd's surveyor, in merchant shipbuilding yards. —.Shipping Gazette. OTTER HUNTING AT DUNSE.-011f town was early astir on the morning of the 12th inst , to witness the Duke of Atholl and his party depart for the sport of otter hunting on the Whittader. At half-past five .A. 31 the noble D u k e, i n the Highland garb, and Lord John Scott,arnved at the Swan Hotel, and in a very short time the party, followed by se veral hundreds of our town's folk, were on their way for Preston-bridge, where the hounds ware laid on, taking up the river. The rapid rate at which they followed up, and the badness of the roads, soon left many in the rear, The noble Duke is an excellent pedestrian. In following up some fine sport was had from our own folks, who, unaccustomed to the exercise. attempted to imitate the true otter hunter, dashing in and through the water, no matter where; but alas for them, however well tbey appear on the pavement or other easy roadwa3s, the ruggeo bottom of the Whittader was too severe: in several instances they ..'ent souse head over heels, to the no small amusement of the more surefooted. We fol lowed up about two miles, but gave up the spurt as too hard. During that time no game was raised, although the hounds before that had made scent. A short way above Elmtord they fell in with a fine large otter, and killed it after a short tun. —Bersoich Warder.

On Friday night, at a little past eight o'clock, a n explosion of fire-damp took place in the colliery at Shipley, wheieby one man lost his life, and seven more were more or less burned, although happily not so much as to greatly endanger their lives.—Derby Reporter. LEICESTLE TRADE.—A little more business is being cone in various branches, but no great amount is doing ge nerally. It is fully expected a gradual improvement will take place till the eold season sets in, whea full sctiTitY will cnN9 m9ril tizporieacgd, THE SUN, in furtherance of whose objects the present gathering in Dublin has; taken place. Nothing is of more im portance to the farmers of Ireland than the develop ment of perseverance and skill, and if the society can induce them to appreciate duly the neeess• y and advantages of soberly and steadily "putting their shoulders to the wheel," its results will be commen surate to the wishes of its founders and supporters. Few Members in the House of Commons have evinced a more active attention to Irish interests than Lord NAAS has done since he sat as a representative for that country, and the improvement in one very important branch of its productions may be collected from the assertion of that talented and practical nobleman, "that if not in quantity, at least in quality, the cattle of Ireland might vie with the cattle of any other country, and that in quality the short horns which were exhibited in the show-yard that day might fairly claim equal consideration with those which many of them saw lately exhibited in the great park at Windsor." Under the existing circumstances of Ireland, not yet recovered from the fearful visita tions of recent years, it could not be expected that the Agricultural Society of that kingdom could com p are with that of England or the Highland Society, but when the relative condition of the two islands is taken into account, we concur with Lord CLANCARTY, in expressing a belief that the existence of a society for the improvement of agriculture in Ireland is a matter of at least as great value, if not of more value, than the existence of similar institutions in either the northern or southern divisions of the sister island ; that although they could not command the resources of the English society, yet the very necessities of their country, and the contrast which its agricultural state formed with that of England, should exclusively establish the value and importance of their society, and should supply strong motives to every Irish proprietor to come forward and aid them in their objects. Judging from the ex cellent character of the stock which' had been exhibited in the show-yard, the labours of the society for the last ten years have not been by any means in vain ; and Lord EBRINGTON, an invited guest, expressed his conviction that the improved blood exhibited, " blood which could compete with, and which, in one instance, at least, was superior to the chosen productions of England, would be diffused over the length and breadth of the country, so as to bring up the average to a much higher standard than had been hitherto reached."

The market was steady and closed firmly.—Railway Shares were fiat at much lower prices. The weekly statement of the Bank of England to the 9th inst. is not important in regard to the changes that occurred. The Government account was increasing, and already looks well. The other deposits were smaller, showing that money was scarce upon the whole, although io might be only temporarily wanted in particular chan nels. The other securities increased, and this we usually put down to a movement in discounts. The great in crease iu the deposits threw back a portion of the notes, and thus circumscribed the active circulation. The amount of bullion increased a little. Contrasted with the previous week, the results are as follow: Notes Issued 27,341,085 Increase 72 905 3,319,048 Increase ... 89,767 Public Deposits ... ... 5,513 244 Increase 754,786 Other Deposits ... 8,719 460 Decrease ... 283,001 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,239,650 Decrease ... 30,498 Government Securities ...

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Saunders was charged before Mr. Hall with assauiting Mr. Osborne, of the Strand, coffee-house keeper, and creating a disturbance in his house. Tne complaint was that the defendant, who, a week or two ago was fint d 101. for assaulting the present com plainaut and his waiter, came, accothpanied by another young man, to the door of the coffee-house, and com meuc,d hallooing and making discordant noises, inter micgled with cries of " Come, old Osborne, and have a bottle of wine with me." To these invitations the com plainant replied by ordering the defendant to quit his house, on pain of being banded over to the police. The defendant remained a considerable time in the place. Complainant desired that the defendant should be re strained from annoying him, as he had been reported to threaten him for having caused him to be fined so heavily on the former occasion. The defendant said he created no disturbance, that he was casualy passing by, and the idea occurred to him of going in and making it up with the complainant, over a bottle of wine for what had oc curred before, " thinking, upon reflection," (he said) that there might be faults on both sides: The complainant denied all this, and said that if th e defendant meant anything conciliatory he would not have culled out " rotten eggs," alluding to the origin of the termer disturbance. Atter some aiu•rcation, Mr. HALL censured the dP. rendaut for Ilia impudence in going in the house at all, and, dirchargiug hue this time, told him that if he yen tired upo❑ such lark" another tuna he must expect lo suffer fur it. Mr. Osborne remonstrated against this decision. But Mr. Hail discharged the defendant; whereupon the com plainant said he would bring an action against Mr. Saunders. TREMENDOUS FIRE AT RICH MOND.-(THIS DAY.) DESTRUCTION OF A LARGE CHAPEL AND SEVERAL OTHER BUILDINGS. This morning (Saturday) a fire of a most alarming and destructive character broke out in the town of Rich mond, Surrey, and laid in ruins a vast amount of pro perty, including the beautiful chapel belonging to the Methodist Independent body. The flames commenced at a few minutes before two o'clock, in the premises be longing to Mr. Andrews, a bread and biscuit baker, Upper Hill-street, a short distance beyond the Castle Inn. The inmates were aroused from their slumbers by a loud crackiug noise, and Mr. Andrews found huge bodies of black smoke rolling up the staircase, which nearly prostrated him. He immediately awoke his household, consisling of his wife, two children, the female servant, and two shopmen. By the time he had done so, however, the flames could be seen travelling towards the upper portion Lithe house, so that the de struction of the whole of the residents appeared inevit able. By a desperate a (fort, however, they succeeded in rushing through the fire, and reached the street. They bad scarcely done so when the whole kuilding became enveloped in flames. The neighbours exerted them selves by throwing water upon the adjoining houses, and in removing furniture, during the time the local engines were being brought to the scene, unfortunately, however, with little or no success; for the flames having seized upon the premises of Mr. Webster, a cabinet maker, the whole of his manufactory was soon in a blaze. Mr. Webster being at that time confined to his bed by illness, was obliged to be carried down stairs by some of the neighbours. With as little delay as possible the engines belonging to the town arrived, at which time an abundance of water was flowing from the mains in the district. The engines were forthwith set to work, but in spite of the water thrown upon the fire it continued to spread both right and left wi h amszing rapidity, so that very speedily numerous other premises, used principally as workshops, and standing behind the front houses, be came ignited; from thence the destructive element rushed through the side windows of the Independent Chapel, and in a very few minutes the organ and most of the beats in the side aisle were blazing. Immediately ad joining this sacred edifice stood another of still greater dimensions, belonging to the Roman Catholics, and had it not been for the various expedients resorted to this building would also have fallen a prey to the fire. About three o'clock the scene that presented itself was one of fearful grandeur, for the flames were rising in immense sheets from the ptemises belonging respectively to Mr. Andrews, the baker, Mr. Webster, the cabinet-maker, Mr. Luckett, a carver and gilder, as well as from every window in the chepel and vestry-rooms. The light thrown over the country for miles round caused hun dreds of psrties from far distant to ighbourhoods to flock towards the spot, and at the same time gave information of the disaster to the engine-kt epers atTwiekeuham. Two more engines from the last named place were dispatched to the fire, but in spite of all present the flames con tinued to ascend, and it was found necessary to dispatch a mounted express to London for additional aid. As soon as the nests arrived Mr. Henderson, the chief officer of the D section of the brigade, with RD engine and a body of firemen, aterzed tor the scene of destruc tion, and Mr. Connortun followed him, with the West of England sngine, and a dy of men. The moment they reached the spot all hands set to work, but in spite of every exertion the flames could not be en tirely extinguished until nine o'clock, and not until the whole of the premises above named were burnt down, and serious damage done to many others adjoining. Fortunately most. of the stiff rers were insured.
