Under all circumstances it was but na • and power—abent this book which has rarely been surpassed in the tural that the feelings of Mr. HowE should be of no 'Rest S alons of the author."—Weekly News. g lieu x y Coll:Yarn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. very ordinary description, remembering, as he ac knowledged he did, the contrast of his present and of his last visit to the principal port in Hampshire. His appreciation, moreover, of its importance as a medium • for importation and exportation both for men and commodities, served, it would seem, to enhance in an extraordinary manner his interest in his reception by its inhabitants. Situated as Southampton is, according to his own picturesque definition—with " the British Channel flowing by them like a mighty river, the trade of the Baltic on their left, and of the Mediterranean on their right, the Isle of Wight standing as a natural breakwater at the mouth of their estuary, a beautiful country around them, and the royal city of Winchester, and the imperial city of London, at their very doors"—no marvel that it should appear to the representative of Nova Scotia a circumstance affording him auspices of the most encouraging nature t o be welcomed in that particular spot with such earnest and spontaneous cor diality. The greeting accorded to the Hon. Gentle man augured well, indeed, for the happy issue of his undertaking, and indicated on the part of the people of the United Kingdom an admirable familiarity with the wants of our North American possessions. From the remarkable speech delivered by Mr. How; on Tuesday last, to the inhabitants of South ampton, it will be seen that he himself is powerfully impressed with the importance of carrying out the purpose of his mission to the mother country ; and that not only with a view to the advantage of Nova Scotia and the adjacent provinces, but likewise to the benefit in a peculiar way of the whole of the United Kingdom. In illustration of this fact the Provincial Secretary adduced a variety of interesting statistics— all tending to demonstrate the advisability of some organized scheme of emigration to our Transatlantic territories. According to these statistics, Mr. HowE reminded his hearers of the fact, that in " this garden of the world" no less a number than 1,876,541 per sons are annually relieved, and that the average cost of each of those persons relieved is 31.55. 10d.—" more than enough," he observed with some emphasis, " more than enough to have shipped every man to our own northern colonies, and made proprietors and free holders of them for life." Yet, with such abundant opportunities of relieving ourselves from the incubus of a huge and systematised pauperism, we have still contented ourselves with allowing our Ameri can dominions, as it were, to lie fallow, while, in 1848, in poors' rates, Ireland yielded 1,216,6791., Scotland 544,0001., and England 6,180,765/. The natural, or rather we should say the inevitable, consequence of this wide-spreading destitution has been the perpetuation and increase of crime among the masses. So large a class as this being dependent upon the rest of the community, no wonder felonies were multiplied throughout the population, no wonder vice and depravity of all kinds, rising frequently to the perpetration of the most hideous atrocities, should flourish in these islands, spreading a blighting influ ence over its otherwise brilliant prosperity. Evi dence of this ghastly result was afforded by the Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia when he recalled to the attention of his hearers the circumstance that, in 1848, there were in Scotland, 4,900 ; in England, 30,000; and in Ireland no less than 38,552 actual committals for of fences !—constituting a vast and terrible total of 73,771 commitments, of which number, continued Mr. HOWE, 6,298 were transported and 37,373 were im prisoned. For the purpose of punishing so many offenders we are compelled to resort to a costly system of expiation—our prisons and penal settlements draining a large quantity of the wealth accumulated by the national industry. For the purpose, again, of preventing, if possible, still more numerous offences from being perpetrated, we are driven to the necessity of supporting a huge body of police and constabulary, whereby we have expended, on the average, a gross annual total of 1,140,0001.: " thus maintaining," remarked the Honourable JOSEPH HOWE, "as many constables in these two small islands as doubled the whole standing army of the United States of America." • The com parison is eminently suggestive. From it we may be enabled to draw some wholesome conclusions, For instance, we may learn from the force of such arguments the truth that we are expending unneces sarily, and to no avail, sums of money annually capable of extirpating to a very great extent from the United Kingdom the germs of vice and the provocations to criminality. From such statements, moreover, we may learn again the truth that we possses the means of ridding ourselves to a very great extent, if not en tirely, of pauperism; and, by applying the surplus energies of the United Kingdom to the cultivation of its colonial possessions, to pour into the lap of the mother country riches hitherto permitted to be neg lected in their almost unexplored recesses. For im pressing these ideas most forcibly on the national judgment we are indebted to the Hon. JosErn HowE, the Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia, a gentleman who is still fortunately amongst us, endea vouring to carry out the generous intentions of his Government. As affording encouragement to his mission in England, we are peculiarly rejoiced to ob serve the earnest reception accorded both to himself and his friend, Major ROBERT CAR3HCHAEL SMYTH, by the Mayor and Corporation representing the inhabitants of Southampton. The movement to which we have here explicitly directed public attention is one calcu lated, we are convinced, to forward very perceptibly the views we ourselves have so long advocated in re Bard to our Transatlantic colonies. Now reedy at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post Bvo., A NOVEL. 0 D. " The author; we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be belf his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, Inspired dt a hgTh staadard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects jest mentioned. There are several chapters, in which lints of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Mau nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. "` Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicaons parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry ; and Julia Maitland, the noblest Ala best of them all."—Morning Post.

There is a bold, manly spirit in English hearts, a sound practical wisdom in English minds, that speedily dispel any erroneous opinions that may have been formed, or at least induce the people to grapple fairly with existing difficulties, and to conform to the conditions of the contest in which they are en gaged, rather than to maintain a useless struggle, and issue unavailing protests against the indispensable preliminaries. Although they may believe that they have been badly treated, and may freely resort to the Englishman's privilege of " grumbling," they will not waste their entire time in childish lamentations, or neglect the real business of life, in giving expres sion to their feelings of chagrin and disappointment. The farmer may consider that " protective imposts" are the chief source of national wealth, and that the sun of England's prosperity set with the abolition of the corn-laws, but, having sufficient sense to know that free trade may now be regarded as un fail accompli, and that any attempt to disturb the recent legislative settlement, is but little better than "biting a file," or "kicking against the pricks," he will refrain from urging his own particular views, but will redouble his exertions to meet the ad ditional competition to which he is exposed by im. proved husbandry, and the more judicious and Kim tific cultivation of his lands. Everything now appears to indicate that the time of Parliament will not be frittered away during the rapidly approaching session by absurd motions or protracted discussions upon the expe. diency of reviving departed monopolies, and of com pelling the community in general to submit to heavy taxation for the benefit of a particular class; or, iu other r ac ordy. Is be" tribute" t o th e t err i tor i a l aria t is a too much to be d one , an d t h e t i me oc w for doing it is already too limited to justify so indis creet an application of the precious moments. Alt the lead ers o f th e party are declaring plainly and un equivocally the propriety of submitting to pre sent cir cumstances, and straining every nerve in order to make both ends meet. Even under the pre sent low scale of prices, while the fermers are af fording the best evidence that they themselves had long since arrived at the same conclusion, the agri cultural societies, which, sometimes forgetful of the objects for which they were originally created, had become little better than political clubs, have resumed their former position, and are now chiefly attended by practical farmers, who assemble together for mental instruction, " for the purpose of extending and P r omoting the knowledge of agriculture as a science." This is as it should be, and despite the monetary crisis through which the country has passed, and under which, n o t the farmers exclusively, but the industrious classes LONDON, generally, have encountered the most serious diffi culties and impediments, we rejoice to find that there is "an evident improvement in agriculture," and that in a great degree dating from the period of the abolition of the obnoxious law. We have this great fact established on the most unques tionable and unimpeachable testimony. It is ad mitted by unwilling witnesses, who, while acknow ledging their predilections for the ancien regime, still give honest evidence as to the practical results of the new system. The speech of Lord BEAUMONT last week, at the annual meeting of the Selby Agricultural Society, fully confirms the accuracy of the above statement. So long as there was the slightest hope of main taining the corn-laws, the Noble Lord struggled zealously and energetically to sustain the agricul tural interests—so long as there was the slightest hope, while any position remained unconquered, he maintained the unequal conflict ; but, to use his own words, he is " too true to the principles of the Constitution of England—too obedient to the laws of the country, which, after all, emanate from, and are the will of the people—not to submit candidly at once to the new state of circumstances, and to make the best of it." It was one of the most unanswerable objections to the restrictive sys tem, now happily extinguished, that men were ac customed to rely on the assistance thereby afforded, or rather supposed to be thereby afforded, instead of their own exertions. They cultivated the soil in a slovenly and inefficient manner, and the complaints of the farmers were as loud and almost as incessant when the home market was in their own hands, and they enjoyed a "virtual mono poly," as it has been since the glorious principles of "free trade" received the legislative sanction. It is true that the " bad farmer must go to the wall"—that a slothful and negligent man can no longer expect to live out of Lis bolding, for which he may have contracted to pay an exorbitant and un reasonable price ; but there is yet hope for the active and intelligent person, who thoroughly understands the business in which he has engaged, who holds his lands not at a rack rent, but for their fair value, and who has sufficient ca pital at his disposal to develope all the capabilities of the soil. A man cannot now suppose that it will be possible to sit down in ease and com fort, paying high rent for his land and usurious in terest for money, and without bringing all his re sources into operation. He mast bring all the appliances of science to his aid ; he must, as persons engaged in all other pursuits, trades, or callings, enter in a bold and manly emulation with his many competitors. The barrister who would abstain from studying new laws and recent authorities—the physician who would repudiate modern discoveries, would speedily be de serted by clients or patients. In every occupation it is the same, the individual must advance with the age. Why should the farmer suppose that he is to be the exception to the general rule ? We would ear nestly commend the instructive address of Lord BEAUMONT, one of their tried friends, to the attention of agriculturists, convinced that they will derive sound information from its perusal, that it will be pro ductive of pleasure and profit to all who are disposed to consider it in a proper spirit, without bias or pre judice of any kind. What will Ministers propose to repel the Popish aggression ? Such is the question everywhere pro pounded, and to which, as yet, no satisfactory answer has been given. But to the other question, of a somewhat similar character, which is quite as universally propounded—What ought Ministers to do ?—a most satisfactory answer is given by our valued correspondent, " An Old Reformer," in a letter which appears in another part of our impression of this evening, and which should be read and studied by every lover of truth and of liberty in the three king doms. There is something manly, straight forward, and thoroughly English in the candid avowal with which the " Old Reformer" prefaces his remedy. "We have done wrong," says he, " and must undo it; we know it now, though we did not before. Not to any unnecessary extent in the way of severity, but to so much as shall secure what our forefathers handed over to us safe, and which we by an overweening confidence have let down and endangered ;" and thereupon he proceeds to propose the,adoption of certain measures of repression as regards the aggressors (for the details of which we refer our readers to his letter). The adoption of these measures alone, excellent as they are, will merely " scotch the snake, not kill it," and therefore wa are rejoiced to find that "An Old Reformer" joins with us in calling for a thorough reform in the Church, " which has done so much to hand us over to our ancient foe." The surpliced JUDASES, who still wish to continue their task of betrayal and to receive Protestant pay while doing Popish work, pretend that the State has no right to interfere in the matter. To all who may hitherto have entertained any doubt on this subject we recommend an attentive perusal of that portion of the letter of "An Old Reformer" in which he treats of the QUEEN'S supremacy ; and from such perusal no sane, and honest, and unprejudiced man can arise without being convinced that the State has a perfect right to say, whenever she may be so minded, to the clerical brawlers for sacerdotal supremacy, " You have abdicated. Go forth, and we 'will take our chance for finding men who will accept our terms and keep to them." In our columns will be found a report of the an nual meeting of the Life-Assurance Department of the Provident Clerks' Association, which we are pleased to find is progressing steadily and satisfac torily. To those who insure their lives for the benefit of their wives and families, this Association offers the advantage of making the sum assured payable without any deduction whatever. We have reason to believe that the address in reply to the speech from the Throne will be moved by the Mar quis of Kildare, and seconded by Mr. Peto, M.P. for Norwich. IMPORTANT AND STARTLING ANNOUNS To the end of the world, in every line of life, there wi'l be some men who will get on, and others who will go back. Some are active, clever, and lucky; others are lazy, dull, and unfortunate. Consequently, in every pursuit which is culti vated for profit's sake, there will be great variety at all times between the several degrees of success attained. —From the " leading article" of a Morning Contemporary. TEE TRIAL OF MR. SLOANE.—We are given to understand that the proceedings against Mr. Sloane will be removed by certiorari from the Old Bailey to the Queen's Bench. Mrs. Sloane is not yet apprehended, but we have every reason to believe that she will be in custody before the trial coaxes on. SANITARY MOVEMENT IN OXFORD.—The Town Council having asked Mr. Cubitt to recommend a fit person to inquire into the sanitary condition of the city, that gen tleman has proposed Mr. M'Dougal Smith for the purpose. Mr. Smith has been employed in engineering operations in Belgium, Ireland, and other places; and a high opinion has been expressed of his qualifications. He has proposed to hold an open court for receiving evidence from all who may be disposed to communicate it, on the sanitary condition of Ox ford, with the view of drawing up some great and effecti ve measure to remedy the existing evils. HORRIBLE CRUELTY AT DUNSTABLE.-011 Sun day the whole live stock of a farmer in Dagnell was de stroyed in the most cruel manner. It appears that on Sa turday night Mr. Cutley, a small farmer residing in the above village, was aroused from sleep by the moaning noise of one of his pigs, and on going into the yard found the poor ani mal mutilated in a shocking manner—being in appearance chopped in two across the loins with a bill or axe. Fear ing that more mischief had been done to his stock, he went round his premises, and discovered to his horror, that all his cows, six in number, had been cruelly cut about the hind legs, the hamstrings completely separated, and the tail of one of the animals cut on: Mr. Cutler immediately sent for a butcher, and had the poor animals jilaughtered. Sus picion fell upon a man who had been recently working for Mr. Cutler. It appears that this man disputed with his employer at the time of settling on Saturday night, and when he left the premises held out a threat that he would serve him out for it. Information was given to the police, who at once went to the cottage of the man and apprehended him while in bed. His clothes were marked with blood, and there were other suspicious appearances. He was taken before the magistrates and remanded for further examination. After the hearing the man, whose name is Norman, and described as a labourer, was taken to Ivinglo.e cage, but on the police-ofEcers going to the place on the following morning it was discovered that he had fled. It is supposed the prisoner had been assisted to escape from his confine ment by persons on the outside, for on examining the building the wall was found to have been undermined, and a hole made large enough to admit a man ' s body.—Bedford Times. DEATH OF THE REV. J. T. ROBINSON, M.A., REC TOR OF ST.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Itioniteur contains the following notice : " All the Ministers have deposited their resignations in the hands of the PRESIDENT Of the Republic. Their resignations have been accepted. The late members of the Cabinet will continue to carry on the affairs till the nomination of their successors." The Constitutionnel, which, since the death of the Pouvoir, occupies a similar position to that occupied under the last dynasty by the Journal des Debots, contains what may be considered an official an nouncement, that the new Ministry will be chosen from among the minority of 286, who voted against the amendment of M. ST. BRUTE; but the minority is so divided that the PRESIDENT will find some difficulty in forming a presentable Cabinet. M. LEON FAU CHER, who is firmly attached to the PRESIDENT, who is, moreover, a statesman and an orator, and therefore it might be supposed the man, of all Others the most necessary and the most pleasing to the PRESIDENT, is unfortunately of such an impracticable temper, in short, so completely the Earl GREY of his party, that none of his former colleagues will willingly enter a Cabinet of which he is an influential member ; more particularly is this the case as regards M. ODILON BARROT. Again, it is admitted on all bands, by men of all parties, Republican and Monarchical, that the man of all others best fitted to be Finance Minister is M. PASSY ; and M. PassY has peculiar claims on the PRESIDENT, inasmuch as, unlike the Count DE MONTALEMBERT and some others, he was not content with giving the PRESIDENT merely the benefit of his vote, but in his bureau energetically urged upon his colleagues to duly consider the danger of the course on which they were entering before they ventured to pass a vote of censure on the Ministry for dismissing CIZANGARNIER; yet M. PASSY is obnoxious to the cro ehetty LEON FAUCHER, and is therefore considered impossible. The conduct of the Count DE MONTALEMBERT and the other members of the parti-pretre is considered most ungrateful. It was by consenting to the expedition to Rome and to the education Bill, against his own feelings and solely to conciliate the parti-pretre, that the PRESIDENT incurred the dis pleasure of the moderate Republican party, whose votes turned the scale in the division on the want of confi dence question ; and yet the Count DE MONTALEM BERT, instead of coming to the rescue, as on such an occasion he was in duty bound, left M.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated Ist 5,000 bales, comprising 3,500 American; 300 Pernam and Maranham, at Bd. to Bd.; 200 Bahia, at Bd. to 8,-rd.; 600 Egyptian, at Bid. to 9d.; and 300 Surat, at sd. to &id. per lb. The market closed firm, at pre vious rates.—Railway Shares continued very flat. General business is still somewhat inactive, both in London and the provinces, but more briskness seems to be anticipated, and there is decided seundness. The position of the Company of Copper Miners in England has long been one of peculiar embarrassment. Once a wealthy and highly influential body, it has dwindled down into a state of comparative insignifi cance, or at least of temporary helplessness. Various circumstances have conduced to this result, and few have proved more embarrassing than the claims of the debenture holders. A resumd of the matter is given in the Mining Journal, and also of the Bill about to be in troduced into the House of Commons to facilitate the settlement of the affairs of the company. The original charter was first granted the 3d of Aug., 1691, by William and Mary —there being at that time, as the charter states, " a want of skilful artists to refine and purify the great quantities of copper ore found in the kingdom, owing to which great sums of money were transmitted to foreign parts to pay for the same com modity. The parties who were then incorporated had found out several furnaces, engines, &c., and besought therefore, letters patent to carry on the same as a joint stock." On the 22d of September, the same year, these privileges were extended to Ireland; and on the 9th Feb., 1711, Queen Anne further confirmed the letters patent granted by her predecessor. The shares, prior to the year 1741, were 7,600, which were estimated at the nominal value of 131. each. At that date, 2,400 further shares were issued, and the stock of the company was then repre sented by 328,8351. lls. Bd. In 1746, a large sum of money was raised by the issue of preference shares and scrip, at the rate of 251. each—the holders receiving a preferential half-yearly dividend on that amount of 11. 175. 6d.; this preference stock being represented by the sum of 281,3001. From time to time the court, having borrowed money on debentures, loan notes, &c., their debts now amount in the aggregate to 613,225/, inclusive of 150,0001. held by the Bank of England, and 115,0001. held by different creditors by way of secu rity. On the 10th of October, 1847, the Bank of Eng land advanced a further sum of 120,0001.—interest being paid on both at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum; at the same time taking as a security a mortgage on the whole property. In the year 1849, the case of " War ner v. the Copper Miners' Company," was heard in the Court of Chancery ; and the same year the assignees of Thomas Bruton, a bankrupt, seized some of the property in Glamorgansbire on account of debt. The Bank have twice attempted to sell the property ; but being aware that by a forced sale not one-fourth of the value of the mortgage can be realised, they have offered to compromise with the company on advantageous terms. As the works cannot be efficiently carried out without a fresh issue of shares, it is necessary to apply to Parliament for the ne cessary powers. Numbers of poor and industrious people depending on them, it is prayed to afford facilities for prosecuting the works with activity. In order to avoid the difficulties which have brought the company to their present condition, it is proposed that auditors should be appointed to restrict the court from borrowing more than a certain proportion of the amount of their capital. The new Bill proposes that the letters patent may be confirmed—that the Companies' Clauses Conso lidation Act, 1845 s with respect to the distribution of the capital of the company into shares, and with re spect to the payment of subscriptions, transfer of shares, means of enforcing payment of calls, forfeiture of shares for non-payment, borrowing of money by mortgage bond, conversion of borrowed money into capital, consolidation of shares into stock, exercise of the right of voting, settlement of disputes by arbitra tion, &c., shall extend to the stock of this company. Three months after the passing of the Act a meeting is to be held to elect a governor, deputy governor, and court of assistants. A meeting of the debenture-holders and creditors to be held according to advertisement, soon after, to compute and arrange their debts—the debentures held by the Bank of England to be excluded from the computation. Mr. Wood, who has a claim of 2,272!. 2s. against the company, to be considered a creditor until the arbitrators of his debt have made their final award. Mr. Lord having entered into a suit of Chancery against the go vernor and court, to protect the interest of himself and the other shareholders, and to prevent the irrevocable loss of the property, the committee appointed the 4th of April, 1849, have arranged that his suit should be withdrawn on the payment of his cost, not exceeding a sum of 5501. Mr. Lord's claims for com pensation for services rendered and outlay are to be re ferred to the arbitrators under the Companies' Consoli dation Act —the Governor seed Court, who opposed Mr. Lord, both in the Vice and Lord Chancellor's Courts, having now approved of the recommendation of the com mittee. The stock is to be reduced in these pro portions:—The holder of a Debenture of 5001. to receive 250/. stock; Preference Stock, 500/. to have 1251.; and the old stock of 5004 to be considered as 621. 10s. The Governor and Court can raise by mortgage the sum of 200,0001., or such further sum, not exceeding the sun of 100,0001., as shall be fixed by a general or extraordinary meeting of the company. These preference shares to be first offered to debenture holders and creditors. Should they not accept of this offer, they are to lose the benefit; in event of their accepting them, they are to be offered to stock-holders. Auditors are to be ap pointed at a general meeting of the company at an an nual salary —no qualification being necessary. The number of assistants not to be more than ten. The company are not obliged to elect more than five; the qualification of the governor, deputy-governor, or as sistants, to be at least 1,0001. stock, paid up. One-third of the governing body to go out every year, but are eligible for re-election; so that the whole number must go out of (Ace in three years. The company, acting by the governor, deputy-governor, or court of assistants, have power, under the common seal, to draw and endorse bills, and transact all necessary business. The rights of the Earl of Jersey, Christopher Talbot, Esq , and others, under whom the company hold lands and tenements, are riot affected by this Bill; but all leases to remain in statu quo, as if the Act had not been passed. - The English Funds have been very heavy again, and anxiety is felt at the continued Cabinet Councils in Downing.atreet, as being suggestive of want of unity among the Minibters. The state of af fairs in. France does not, on the other hand, lead to any particular apprehension, seeing the trifling effect produced at the Paris Bourse.

Advices from Constantinople of the sth announce the arrival of 400 refugees from Shumla. They have good quarters at Kouleli in the extensive buildings at present employed as the quarantine establishment. An Austrian vessel has been freighted to convey them to Liverpool, from whence they proceed to the United States. It appears that CRAIYAS had been driven to em brace Islamism in consequence of the withdrawal of French protection. For seventeen years he has been acting as Polish agent in Constantinople, and the Russian Ambassador has frequently demanded his expulsion, but as CHADCAS was under French pro tection their demands were of no avail. Applications were frequently made to Louis PHILIPPE to withdraw the protection, and as invariably refused ; no sooner, however, was General LAHITTB installed into power than he hastened to obey the behests of the AUTOCEAT, and, with an alacrity which will no doubt stand him in good stead at St. Petersburgh some day or other, withdrew French protection from CaerscAs and others, and thus forcing him to embrace Islamism, as his only means of escaping the tender mercies of the Cossacks.

The telegraph from Vienna to Verona, Trieste, Goritz, and Venice was opened on the 3d inst., and thus a telegraphic correspondence can be established extending to Amsterdam, Brussels, London, and Paris respectively.

THE CORPORATION PROPOSAL FOR THE NEW SMITHFIELD MARAET.—During the last few days our readers have undoubtedly noticed a small building in a course of erection at the extreme western point of Cheapside. That small spot is intended to enclose the model of the newly proposed market for live cattle, as suggested by the " Mar. kets Improvements Committee" connected with the Corpora tion of the city of London. The site upon which the build irig stands has been let to the members of the " Central 111nrkets Association" by the "City Lands Committee," for the above purpose. In the course of a few clays the " ex hibition of the model" will be opened gratuitously to the public, and information respecting the same will be fur nished daily to those of the public who may choose to view it. Parties unacquai n t e d w i t h t h e corpo rate proposal will, consequently, have an opportun i ty of judging for them selves as to the value of the proposal on the part of the Corporation, and as t o th e compara ti v e merits of any other site for a " central market," as suggested by Royal Com mission. ACCIDENT TO LORD SHERBORNE.-A serious acci dent to Lord Sherborne occurred on Tueiday, which, it is said, will have the effect of confining his Lordship to his bed for many weeks. His Lordship, it appears, was out riding over his estates with a party of ladies and gentlemen, mem bers of his family, when coming to a gate fenced with thorns, being at the time in advance of his party, he attempted to open it. The horse's nose being by this effort brought into contact with the thorns, he sprang suddenly backwards and threw his rider over his head, the fall occasioning a fracture and dislocation of the hip. Surgical aid was procured as speedily as possible, but on examination the injury sustained was found to be of a very serious character.— Cheltenham Looker-an.
