Worthless, West Countryman, and several horses from Good wood were expected on Saturday afternoon. (FROM OOR OWN CORRESrONDINT.) The Doncaster meeting can hardly be said to have been a successful one. The fields, except in the Two-Years-old Stakes being miserably small, and the attendance of those county families, who used to be present in such numbers in the days of Lord Fitzwilliam, Mr. Beaumont, and the Duke of Devonshire, induced us to reflect that the nefarious doings which had disgraced this meeting of late years had prevented them from gracing the course with their presence. The Man chester and Sheffield division came out in great force, but the betting was not carried on in the large sums I have witnessed before. The charges, as usual, were dreadful. Talk of those of the British Grenadiers—why they are nothing to the Doncaster lodging-house keepers ! It is unaccountable how racing men are preyed upon, and hew tamely they submit to it. It has often struck me that if a man who had been im posed upon in the manner frequently practised at Doncaster and Chichester, was to keep the bill he paid, and advertise it, with the address of the person who sent it to him, in the Racing . Calendar and Bell's Life, and also stick it up in the Subscription-room a week before the meeting, be would be doing an act of great kindness to his fellow-men, who would avoid the house so taboed, as a pestilence or a man with the itch. And now to business :—The Fitzwilliam was a mere canter for Trueboy. In the match that followed, and which was largely speculated upon, Semisaria—though in her old form as to condition, was in her old temper—would not run a yard, and was easily defeated by a length. r ile Champagne brought an excellent field to the post, and although my selection, Malcolm (backed at evens against the lot) was coughing, he yet ran very respectably ; my other fancy, Princess Alice, finished in front of them. The Traverser is a colt that will be heard of again, and the Squire's Stockport filly pleased me much. Bill Scott's re appearance in the saddle was hailed with great satisfaction by his friends. The race for her Majesty's Plate, between the Shadow and Jinglepot, was won with great ease by the mare, who ap pears to be farming these plates a la Alice Hawthorn. In the Cleveland Handicap I was again fortunate enough to name the winner, Godfrey, pulling through as be did at York. Lord George Bentinck's Ennui cut down Tom Tulloch for the rich 500 soya. stakes without the slightest trouble. WEIMESDAL —The day big with the fate of Weatherbit and Miss Sarah, drewtogether one of the largest concourses of persons ever seen on the Heath. Weatherbit was backed at all sorts of prices. In appearance no horse could look better, but, as I wrote, I thought he never would recover his Good wood dressing. His running was exactly what his enemies, who were as thick " as leaves in Vallambrosas Vale," pre dicted, and his succumbing afterwards to Chertsey proved him even worse than I conjectured he was. Old England's withdrawal caused a great deal of dissatisfaction, for looking at his running at Ascot with Pantasa, he could not well have lost. The money got out of Old England by the party will go far to satisfy their losses on Weatherbit. Mentor was coughing, so his running cannot be taken as true. The Baron, who I thought would attain about the third place in the race, owed his victory to the manner in which John Scott brought him to the post, and the judgment with which he was ridden, by , which all the good qualities he possessed were made use of, instead of being destroyed, as was the case at Liverpool. Little money has been won by anybody, the stable, though thinking him a dangerous horse, did not imagine he was good enough to win. Miss Sarah's per formance was an excellent one, and her friends were cer tainly justified in backing her. I believe she had the speed of the Baron at the last. The other races on the list were not run off. THURSDAY. —After the settling, which was only a partial one, we had four races run, all of them interesting to pro fessionals and amateurs. In the first, Comrade beat Mid lothian and Annandale by a head, chiefly owing, I suspect, to his being fresher than the gelding, who may be said to be nearly "used up" by this time. We had a field of eleven at the post for the Great York shire Handicap, and a most interesting race it furnished, My Mary (my second choice), beating Glossy (my selection) by a length. In the Innkeepers' Plate, Semiseria, being for once in a good humour, actually won a very fast run race. Like the boy that cried "wolf," she was not trusted at last. The Park Hill was a mere canter for,Miss Sarah. The Two-Year-old Stakes again brought a numerous field of young ones before the public. Princesss Alice and the Pen colt were beaten off, so the severity of the pace may be guessed. The finish of the two leaders was most exciting, and showed the strength of Dawson's stable this year. Malt's form was a marked improvement from what it had been. In the Gascoyne, Mentor's defeat was entirely owing to Nat, and not to Pam. In the Cup, Sweetmeat, in her Ascot manner, disposed of Alice and her companions with little trouble. The Autumn season at Newmarket commences on Tues day with rathEir a slender list.' After the usual Trial Stakaa and T.Y.C. Sweepstakes, we have the 300 soys.Bnckenhilm Stakes, to which Lord Exeter, Colonel Peel, and Mr, Wreford have each set down theft horses, with the understanding that they are to bring one of those three to the post. Of Lord Exeter's lot I should pre fer most the Lucetta colt. Of Colonel Peel's three, Queen Anne, from the manner in which she won the July Stakes, and of Mr. Wreford's contributions I should thi n k h e wou ld i,9.11d the West Countryman, and out of the three to which I reducia t;in geld ] Nat, I think, upon Queen Anne, will be declared the winti4, To the Grand Duke Michiel Stakes, always a race of interest, there are 18 subscribeii;', 'hui; IIIoR4 If we shall see half that number of horses at the post in all probability will meet his old onponeui Wfd i d pi g eon, and receive at his hands ate same boutiog 41m } AsJot; and if Lord Ex eter's colt eatr beat Pug, I think 4ce nwyt l awarded to him.

In the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes, I prefer most Paultons. The match between Captain Phoebus and Collingwood will be won, I should imagine, by the former. TELEGRAPH. RAILWAY RETIJ NS. RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following are the Tote ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the respective returns are made, together with the rt week in the previous year : a Receipts of Rail• date to which the !ceipU of the same -RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT. (From the Railway Record.) In the . Westminster Review, ,recently published, there is, under this herd, an article calculated to excite much interest in the railway world, by opening up a question of the further progress of railways, the end whereof we see not ; nor caa we detect any fallacy in the proposi tions, novel and original though they be. - The Writer commences the article by comment ing on the great reduction that has taken place iu railway fares, stimulated by the fear of new and com peting lines, showing that it would have been more wise to have taken measures to reduce fares and•expenses at au earlier period, ere the agitation of new railways had commenced, and that the existing lines can have no chance of competing with those about to be made, ex cept by the greatest economy in reducing their expenses, inasmuch as -the fares must inevitably be reduced by competition. But, even supposing en existing line to be eclipsed by a new one, as regards direct traffic, the writer proceeds to show that the line may even then be come more valuable b, the proper application of the land along its borders, distinctly pointing cut that. rail ways are even yet wholly in their infancy—imperfectly applicable to mere transit between distant towns—badly constructed as regards their future application to other important tEes—and thereby deprived of SOUrJCS of profit immeasurably greater than mere distant transit can ever yield. We give an outline of the general sys tem which the author proposes f u r p ro d uc i ng t h e b es t economical result. Leaving all existing railways, and the towns they connect, to their own advantages and imperfections, he adverts to a- general syiltern of new railways, without, regard to existing tons, to be laid out chiefly through unpeopled districts, with a view to colonise them with an agricultural; horticultural, and manufacturing popu lation. throughout their whole extent, on the principle that induced the Government of the State of New York, to construct the Erie Canal through a wilderness, via., that an easy route, once made, would lie sure to attract population wherever subsistence could be obtained. Be . cause in order to attract population along a new line of railway, i. e., a road with an artificial level, it is only necessary to provide artificial circumstances similar to those nature tins - provided in the natural levels of the valleys, via., water, fuel, and land to cultivate and pro duce crops and cattle. The absence of these circum stances has been the chief cause why hill land, which is the healthiest, has reamieted mostly unpaopled, while towns have multiplied in the valleys. Commencing such railways from the.outskirts of any large town, and carrying them either in a straight or curved- line through any thinly peopled district, stationary power should be used for the purposes of -traction, either by the atmospheric or other medium ; amongst other advantages, preventing risk of fire. Pipes for water to be laid the whole length of the line. Pipes for liquid manure to be laid the whole length of the line, Pipes for gas to be laid the whole length of the line. And the roadway should be of ample width for two lines, with carriages or travelling platforms not Itss than ten feet in width, and of proportionate length. One line might be laid first, The various pipes should all be laid so as to be acces sible at all times for repairs and junctions. The stationary steam-power to be placed at every two or three miles distance, We quote the following passage from the Westminster Review : "At the station we would inclose, on the Cheapest plan of an ordinary railway terminus, from two to f our acres of lend i n a square f orm , w i t h brick walls, sey 30 feet high. The roof to be in spans of fifty to ellety Feet, formed of iron, and supported to loan columns. The whole of this we weeld eovae in with hail-proof glass— a process that will be ultimately cheaper than eleking, and far more durable. In Belgium, we helieve, at this time, glass for greenhouse perpoeee is sold at the rate of 10e. per 100 soperfieial feet, weighing 14 ounces to the foot. • Wp are much mistaken if the two railway mag nates who have just established a glass-works in Sunder-, land will eat prodeee it cheaper than this. "Around the outer wall we would, erect dwellings of two-floors, leaving four gateways Into the inner square. The exuvim from these buildings would be carried by pipes to a eommen receptacle, to be supplied to the pur poses of manure, so chemieally prepared on the plena of Liebig qs tQ peutrallse all odour. The number of dwel lings surrounding an inclosure of four acres would be about eighty. Assuming four grown persons for each, the exuvite would he equivalent to manure the heavy porn crops of 160 acres of ground, and be worth ; 1 004 per annum, or more. "The internal building or green-house would thus be very cheaply attained. The external walls would be gratuitous, as being part of the houses, and the central columns would serve as rain conduits, the ground-work would require no paving or laying, and the only real Cost would be the roof. " The application of this large green-house would be for the production of vegetables in the winter time. Four acres thus inclosed arid sheltered would be multiplied in value many fold, Produced on the very verge of the railway, the crops would be gathered and delivered direct into the markets of the City within an hour of cutting. At other p plods the external land could be applied to the anue purposes. ci For all these arrangements the steam-engine would be a most valuable adjunct. Tho waste steam would warm the green-houee and the dwellings, and would serve the purge: cis of cooking either in a general kitchen or separetely. The condonation water would supply baths, and thus be rendered available for irrigative pur poses. It would serve also for washing clothes, and the steam would serve for drying them. " The question that will be asked How will all this pay r We answer, that it will pay better than a railway. Each house will be worth 4/. per annum in exuvire, which would pay all the interest in the inner in closure or green-house.. The next question will be, Who will occupy the dwellings ?' We answer, that there will be manyfold more applicants than dwellings. The railway will ultimately communicate with the. City and Hungerford-markets. Many thousands of persons are there in those neighbourhoods who would think the millennium come if told that they could have houses warmed, ventilated, gas-lighted, thoroughly drained, and supplied with hot and cold water in a healthy country district, transit included, for less money than they could obtain the same for in London. Our pages will not afford space for all the calculations, but we are satisfied that those interested would find it a pay ing speculation,' more secure than a railway. We are satisfied that with such arrangements no long time would elapse ere the washing, cooking, and domestic service of the whole estab lishment would merge in one general body of servants, preCisely like the establishments at club-houses. A school fur the children weuld be a matter of course. " At intervals between the atmospheric stations it would he advantageous to place factories, involving no nuisances, such factories having sidings to the railway. In all cases we suppose the smoke nuisance to be abolished. Say that a cotton mill or silk mill were esta blished, all the exuvire would be pumped away to the neighbouring land, and the waste steam and condensation water would be applied to baths and numerous other pur poses. Contiguous to such factories should be the esta blishment of dairies, well built and thoroughly warmed and ventilated, so that the cows would never be exposed to bad weather. Feeding houses fur sheep and other animals should be established on the same principles, slaughter-houses being contiguous, fitted to preserve the greatest cleanliness, by an abundant supply of hot and cold water, the washings being applied to irrigation pur poses. Milk, meat, and vegetables thus produced on the borders of the railway, in the very finest condition, would be conveyed to town at the minimum of cost, and in the highest state of freshness and preservation. "In thus interspersing factories and furnaces—always regarding the steam-engine as a sine qua run for the nucleus of each, a most important advantage is gained. The same persons may apply themselves either to form work or finishing work, as the demand may be greatest. In the winter the factories would have the preference, in the summer the furnaces, and all times it would be easy to obtain abundant hands for gatheing in the harvest ; and we think it probable that a large inclosed grace, roofed with glass, and warmed and ventilated will ere long be considered an essential adjunct to every farm, for, the purpose of drying dung and corn during a wet harvest time. During the bite gloomy weather it would have been well appreciated." It is manifest that every acre of land so inclosed and covered, would in its fond- producing power be equivalent to five or six acres t f exposed land. A succession of crops might be maintained during the whole winter, and land external to these buildings would be irrigated with liquid manures, and supplied with plants produced in the green-houses. At the extremity of the first portion of road —say six miles—a church, a lecture-room, a reading-room, and schools, to be erected, so that the whole population along the line might easily be conveyed by a single train, and returned in the same mode. The whole borders of the line of rail, of the width of one-third of a mile, would become a belt of the mes s productive kitchen-gardens, the stoc k of which could be conveyed to the town at the very minimum of cos t. Other two-thirds of a mile ivould be occupied by grass and corn land, capable of irrigation by liquid manure from pipes. At the distance of another mile another railway should be laid down. The whole of the roofs of the buildings should b e arranged to turn the rain-water jute rPspr Voirs, as the cheapest mode of supply in a district scarce o f water. By these arrangements, nearly the whole o f t h e ex penses and loss of time at present incurred in conveying farm stock from distances to railway stations, would be avoided, and they are the most heavy drawbacks on all farming. Moreover, nearly all the eeoyiee Would be saved, and conveyed to ttle.lead reAurring them— a l most vont .erm_74 mode `di manuring far more valuable than guano, the line of road were opt When the whole land along copied, it would yield a very large eentql, so that th e road might aitnost (:4 * ( l,4:ed dtaWitous es regarding teeesit 'end 164 another three miles should be carried on, capital being only invested as fast as it became pro fitable. In•this mode the whole of England would gradeelly be covered with a-net-work of what Wiiglit be called "acct} ation railways ;1' i?. , n e ewes and garden s wou ld b e p oA ste d . 0 a new system, capable of being adapted to machine help as manufactories and mills are.

Itoads and haul .. heaviest expenses ; tav 01,k rfarms may be regarded as the erbl can be e o eeconornical as an iron road—no hOrses ean he se cheap as steam. With the present ir regular system of farms, railways are imp racticable ; with a regalar system there would be no difficulty, It f costs r o ie r n t e go m aLi o i n dv e eg y r ap t r( o ) do el transport u ad heavy r on o o oi s (0, N f b r oe o % n t. yr S so t r a ok f f - . railways would make as great a leap forward as is the case with railway traction compared with highway trac tion. Soils would be interchange. 4 ; clays would be moved to sand, and chalks to clays. England would grow to be one continuous garden of immeasurably in creased production, and land would rise greatly in value. No country could compete with such a system ia cheap ness of production, except by pursuing the same system. The making of railways has hitherto been the bmi ness of speculators, seeking to change an existing traffic from one set of hands to another. And well have they done it, with profit to themselves and to the nation. But the business of the landowner is to resolve on making railways to create their own traffic, and raise the value of their land. In process of time all roads of every description will become railways ; even streets in towns will be laid out of sufficient width for rails. And nothing would so much tend to the civilization of Ireland as occupation railways; nothing could bring so large a return to the landossners; nothing could be so effective in putting down agrarian outrage as a continuous line of railway farms cultivated on the economical principles that would afford good wages to the labourers, by reducing transport to its minimum. The railways with artificial watercourses would attract to them all the best of the population. It is possible that the system thus set forth may, by many, be deemed fallacious, but the writer is well assured to the contrary. He says there is no single thing that he proposes that is not to be found in actual prac tice in one form or other. Of the economy of the vari ous propositions, no mill-owner would doubt, accustomed to the advantages of machinery, and easy means of trans port; nor would agriculturists long doubt. The originality to which the writer may lay claim is, the application of, occupation railways as agricultural and manufacturing streets, and combining with them all the known processes which substitute steam power for manual and animal labour, together with various im proved modes of applying the gaseous and other exmiai of animal life to the nutriment of plants as set forth by the various professors of vegetable chemistry. The writer can make no claim to the use of liquid manures, or their conveyance by pipes, or application by forced jets over land, but simply to render them practically availeble in conjunction with railways. The passing water pipes along a railway has been resorted to in the north for the supply of a town with water, but not for the supply of a population bordering on the railway. And the proposition to cover acres of land with glass for the production of vegetables in winter, and warming and watering with warm mist such inclosed lands, and applying gaseous vapours for plant nourishment, is, we believe, original in its application. Nor are we aware that it has yet occurred to coal owners to convert their stock into gas at the pit's mouth, and 'convey it along the line of rails in pipes for the purpose of serving a railway population. There is another original proposition of the writer, which, if his calculations be correct, is likely to make a great change in the processea of agriculture. "To convey artiNtal heat beneath the earth land, so as constantly to maintain the taw , r one to the growth and developmee* .aperatu by means of pipes of ' ---of the vegetable tribes _su o i p t e e n d steam, or hot ~,etul or earthenware, circulating fp, water or air from a close boiler, or stove. ..oese pipes to be laid at depths of from four to five feet, in the manner of deep drainage ; also by a similar pro- Peas to inject the ground with gaseous manure, as am monia and carbon, so that the heat and gases may be constantly ascending towards the surface, and thus be absorbed by the roots of the plants without waste, and with great economy. f will Goalut l t B i bpo y een • rdo o ear u le irry acre, cropsra perel o d u throughout t l i ao t innonuslmi lines h ew e s c olt l o hf n esr s ua3 u rie m lpaw r ry : i ya o h n n ae dtaot an nrf two aet probably l t aey o g n pec sro pro duction l f the violent tu Bs. per to n .

It will be disputed in numerous ways ; it will be caviled over—it will be asserted over and over again, that no railway can pay without an existing traffic, but inasmuch as the plan is based on unquestionable economical truth, it will at last be tried. For as the traffic of the existing railways was created by favourable natural localities inducing people to reside therein, the same result must obtain from favourable artificial localities." But who will try it ? Not a company, for it would not come under the category of a strict public object, though of the greatest possible importance to the public. Individual powerful landowners might combine and try it, but long and tedious would be the process of getting them together. It were an undertaking worthy of the State, but the State undertakes only the arts of war. Yet whoever undertakes it, and carries it well through, will establish a normal school of national industry that will induce universal imitation, multiply manifold the capital and resources of this great nation, and do more than any other thing to extinguish poverty. Be the time long or short, we feel assured that the words of the writer will not perish, but in due time become things, and bring forth fruit. Tilt.) , will be weighed throughout the railway press of Europe and of America ; for in his propositio n is to be found the true mode of restoring to agriculture the balance of the power it has lost by the onward strides of manufacture. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAlLWAY.—Yesterday considerable sensation prevailed in seriousht the C i R t yan,i Railway. t o iar n tyei s ; c o n s equent fa u Tad e ch n :t t a:, o l nae c i rcums t ance ph r l u ea m e e le t terso o u n rt t h wh aweht which which cch n ,ih o l dtghaol gave r ieavanecrddci rise e inn i to i oi o tni ; l a s_ rumour was from Liverpool and other places in that direction, per the after r r t p h oo e r w ti e ni re e n . ot o d n el t iv he er r e e d po un a t e i r l u in p s w ti a t rd ut a in o g f a i an nqu h ir oa he had supplied to him officially, by the authorities of the railway, the following particulars :—The four o'clock down luggage train left the Camden station for Birmingham yester pay morning at its usual hour, and proceeded at its prescribed pace down the line. On arriving within about a mile and a half of the Harrow station, and but a short distance from the West London Junction, the engine-driver of the luggage train was astonished to find his speed greatly to increase, and on looking round he discovered that the train had become detached, and that he was only proceeding with half the number of carriages he had set out with. He in stantly shut off the steam and put down his break, and the result was that the detached portion of the train, which still had great impetus ,on it, ran into the waggons preceding with sufficient violence to throw them over, together with the merchandise they contained, on to the up-line. Two or three carriages were thus situated, and as the Liverpool mail train was nearly due, men were dispatched to stop it at the Harrow station, and a large body of men having been em ployed, the line was cleared, no further injury happening than the detention of the Liverpool mail fifty-three minutes beyond its proper time. The cause of the train becoming detached was the breaking of one of the coupling chains by which the carriages were connected together, on account of the immense strain upon it, created by the weight it had to bear, the train being an unusually long one. After con siderable delay the luggage train was enabled to proeted on its journey. VESTRY MEETING, ST. PAUL'S, DEPTFORD.— On Thursday evening a vest ry meeting of the parish of St. Paul, Deptford, was called for the purpose of defining what should be the duties of the person who might be elected to the vacant office of parish surveyor. The vestry having been opened with the usual formalities, and Mr. Churchwarden Press called to the chair, a long string of re.sulutions, de fining such duties, prepared by the parochial board, was read to the meeting. After some considerable discussion, it was moved by Mr. J. Wade that the resolutions proposed by the parochial board be adopted, and that the salary of the stir• veyor be 601. per annum. A person named Twyman attempted to address the meeting twice, amidst cries of "Turn him out," "Sit down," cheers, hisses, &c. Mr. Crossley then attempted to obtain a hearing; but it was some time before he could proceed, in consequence of the same disgrac,eful conduct, nor until the Chairman had several times called order, and requested a fair hearing for all. Mr. Cross ley then, in a speech of some length, during which he was frequently interrupted, gave his reasons for moying an amendment, which was, "That this testy do now AO,!,ourn for six months." Again was the uproar repeated, and which lasted for some time. Tiowever, on a th''w of bands being taken, the amendment was lest, and the original motion carried by a large majority. No sooner Was it announced from the chair that the motion wICI PftrAe4, than some person in the body of the church exclaimed. 4i Ledger for ever"—(one of the candidates). This was responded to by this gentle man's partisans with three cheers, waving of hats, &c.; and the same Cheering was accorded to the chairman, on his receiving a vote of thanks. On leaving the church, Mr. Ledger's friends lined file porch and steps, and on that gen tleman making his appeartmce, received , him with the " Kentish firq,"; _ . PRE coar.ANs.—The hundredth anniversary of the battle of Gladsmuir, or Prestonpans, which was fought on the 21at of September, 1745, was celebrated on . Monday last, the 22d inst., by a pilgrimage t o th e. scene of the battle, of the Mechanics' Friendly Society of Edinburgh, and the Preston pans Benefit Society, amounting in all to upwards of 120 memhcrSl The Pregeasion took place at Musselburgh, with 4nclsOmilsit) and flags, and proceeded along to Prestonpans, 4 1 1 d all the interesting points of the battle-ground were gone over, including the house of Colonel Gardiner, which was liberally shown to the societies on the occasion.

(From the Birmingham Adve”tiser.) A burglary was committed early on Saturday morning last, at the house of Mr. W. Y. Madeley, tanner, Yardley. ,Mr. Madeley's house stands alone fronted by a flower garden, which comes up to a l ane th a t leads from Hall Green Chapel to Yardley Church ; the back the house is skirted by a meadow. The nearest residence is situated about 100 yards distance, and is occupied by Mr. Homer, Mrs. Madeley's father, and at nearly the same distance are the houses, each of which stands alone, of Mr. Badham, Mr. Manafield,,and Mr. Palmer. On Friday night the inmates of the house consisted of,2Jr- Madeley, Mrs. Madeley, Ww. Madeley, a nephew, aged about nine years, and the servant girl. The family retired to rest about ten o'clock. We must here state; that over a side door at the end of the house a verandah was erected, on to the top of which egress could be made from the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Madeley, the window of which , opens in the centre, and is what is termed a French window. About half-past one Mr. Madeley was awoke by the rattling of the window, and on looking towards it he saw a shadow on the white win dow curtains or blind; and, for a moment, being scarcely awake, he fancied it was the girl cleaning the window. On getting out of bed, and drawing the curtain aside, he saw two men (two others stood concealed), the verandah being wider than the window ; and upon ,the instant a violent at tack was made upon the glass and frame with some heavy instruments. Mr. Madeley ran to : a chest of drawers, it. which was his sword, a formidable one, but as quick as light ning one of the velains forced his way through the broken framework, upon which Mr. Madeley turned upon him, an d struck him three or four times, and whilst struggling with him, two or three blows were aimed at his (Mr. Madeley's) head from without, by one of the party, with a life-preserver; Mr. Madeley parried these blows, but was at length struck with some sharp instrument, which inflicted a severe wound, and had the effect of felling him to the floor in a state of insensibility. Mr. Madeley also received another blow on the forehead. On recovering from the stunning effect of the blows, which he soon did, Mr. 31adeley, saw four men in the room, each of whom produced his own light in an in stant, and the room appeared as light as day. Amidst the confusion, Mr. Madeley had run from the room to that of the servant, which was at the front of the house. One of the men, who was invariably called captain by the others, then said, Mr. Mayberry, we don't wish to hurt you in any way, if you'll only be quiet. All we want is your money; we're starving for bread." They all wore black masks, made of glazed calico, which covered their hair and faces, leaving nothing visible but their eyes. Mr. Madeley, was then ordered into the bed, i and his keys demanded, whi c h,' finding resistance utterly useless, he produ ce d. Th e y th en took from the chest of 'drawers a brown silk purse contain ing in gold 131. 10s. and some silver, which the captain im mediately divided amongst them ; and having done so in a very cool manner, he suddenly turned to them and exclaimed, "D— your —, leave the room, and keep the women quiet!" Two of them than left the room. When Mrs, Madeley ran to the servant's room, she threw up the sash, and, with the girl, began to call loudly for as sistance, and instantly a large stone, at least half a pound weight, was thrown with great violence into thf man in the garden, who was ' di s ti nct l y room by a been on the grass plat. Several stones wets men were now try uffsu. bs eci n Thtfy thrown. The two the girl thoue to ". ? .n admittance, but Mrs. M. and 2 " 4 ,,culli'frightened, held the handle so 3001 1 tIIIIIIY that th- ..e miscreant --dully to use a crowbar, and the door gave way; some lighted paper was pushed through the doof to intimidate the females, and at one time part of Mrs. Madeley's night-dress was on fire, Having gained admit tance, the ruffians then ordered theneto get into bed, telling them to be quiet, and no harm should come to them. In the meantime the captain and the other men bad emptied several of the drawers, and had found another purse, but not being satisfied, he said—" Mi. Mayberry, you have more money than this." Mr. M. assured him he had not. " We are informed," continued the captain, " that you are in the habit of receiving large sums of money, and you must give it up." Mr. M. again assured him that it was every farthing he had got, but he said Mrs. M. might have a little. The captain sent the man to Mrs. M., who, in her fright, scarcely knowing what she said, denied having any, and the villain, on his return, flourished a large heavy instrument, known to the police as the " Northern star," over his head as he lay on the bed, exclaiming with a horrible imprecation "If you don't give it up, I'll be the death of you." Mr. Madeley said, if they would suffer him to go to his wife, she would give him the keys, as no doubt she was much flight ened, and he again assured them he had no more. Mr. M.'s gold watch, worth 251., they had previously taken from the bed's head, one of equal value, belonging to Mrs. M., fortunately escaped their rapacity. Mr. M. was suffered to ge with the man, and Mrs. M. gave him the keys, and they returned to the captain, who said, " Now, Mr. May berry, you'll open the drawers quicker than I can," at the same time observing that it would be a pity to injure such a piece of furniture, alluding to a beautiful wardrobe, from a drawer of which they took two purses of Mrs. M/s, containing 2/. or Si. in gold and silver ; a sum of money they also took from Mrs. M.'s pocket, making in all about 301., and from the jewellery-boxes a gold neck-chain, which on being pulled out one of the rascals caught hold of it, ob serving " this will do for me ;" amongst the articles taken were u coral-necklace, a cornelian ditto, a miniature likeness, set in a frame of massive gold, of a great uncle of Mts. M.'s, and several rings, amongst which was an . old-fashioned one. On looking them over, the captain said, " Mr. Mayberry, this appears to be an old family ring, I'll give it you again," and he presented it with much politeness. Twice in the course of the time of their stay, which was from twenty minutes to half an hour, had the captain, at Mr. M.'s request, supplied him with water from the table, with considerable easiness of manner. From the plate-basket, which was in Mr. M.'s room, they took a silver cup, gravy and table spoons, and they had also forced a drawer in ano ther bed-room, but towards the last they app eare d t o b e hurried and alarmed, and left several places unexamined. On quitting Mr. Madeley, the captain shook him by the hand and bade him good morning ; and, on a signal given, the others came, and they left the house the same way they entered it. Mr. M., immediately oh their departure, has tened to his wife, who had suffered dreadfully from terror throughout the fearful scene. He there saw the men burry down the garden walk, and on gaining the road they all set off in the direction of the canal as hard as they could !scamper. Two or three of the masks were found on the canal bank the next morning. The poor little boy, who was in the servant's bed, was terribly frightened, and said to them with much childish simplicity, " You won't kill us, will you?" Upon which one of them said, taking him by the hand, " No, we won't hurt you, if you'll be quiet?" On parting with the females, the ceremony of shaking hands was there also observed; and one ruffian said, " AVe shall come and see you again." But, judging from Mr. Madeley's preparations, their reception, should they carry their threat out, will be rather of a warmer nature than their last. Previously to leaving Mrs. M., a promise was extorted from her, that no alarm should be given under half an hour, a promise that Mr. Madeley, although much hurt, reluctantly observed. It was found that a small ladder, taken from a cottage a little way off, belonging to a person named Jones, bad been the means by which they had climbed the verandah, giving the• idea that some one who knew the neighbourhood was implicated in the deed—a deed so daringly planned, and so successfully accomplished, as to throw the neighbourhood for miles round lute a state of the utmost alarm. Most sincerely do we hope the perpetrator will be speedily brought to justice. NAME OF RAILWAY.

The object pressed on public attention in the end of last century, was to avoid; by inland navigation, the round-about by the Pentland frith, apart from the delays and dangers Incident to a series of stormy headlands, Cape Wrath of the numher, which either becalmed or drove vessels from their course during the storms of winter--hin. drancer, in the estimation of mariners, deemed more formidable than the gulf stretching between Europe and America, From the evidence collected by Mr. Walker under this head, it appears that traders in seeking shelters in sounds, or among distant islands, frequently lie idle for weeks or months; and that more time occa sionally at least, was consumed in completing a coasting voyage of 300 miles, thin in crossing the wide Atlantic. Originally it was intended that the width of the water surface should be 120 feet, the bottom width 50, and the depth 20, so as to admit the largest vessels that trade between Liverpool and the Baltic, West India men of average size. and frigates of 89 guns when (idly equipped. But so much was said in Parliament against expense, estimates exceeded, jobbing, and so forth, that the engineer was constrained to complete the canal , in a hurried and insufficient manner. The contractors, Messrs. Jackson and 1 3 04 n, whp are favourably knqwp for their skill and experience lo this department pr engineering, have been allowed three years for the completion of tasks implying a large outlay of public money,, and, from the satisfactory pro. gress already made, there is reason to bone that the canal will he reopened from sea to sea at the time appointed. The total length of the canal is 60 miles, 23 of which are formed hy, art, and the re.mainder by connecting and rendering InhstsfYieliS te finMaieTplal purposes a great natural basin, enriched in ope sgnse, as well as beautified, ,by the aim* waters of TAO Ness, Loch Oich, and Loch Loahy. On threading the locality lately, we found the bustle not only great, but cprionsly animated. 'lle contractors employ from 1,500 to 1,800 men, according to cir, cumstanees, and pretty nearly 100 horses, to say nothing of the potent and complicated rnaohingry impressed 109 the SPllipe they conduct. One way and another, the gentlemen named above its . - bum weekly in wages about 2,0001. sterling. Masons receive from a pound to a guinea, joiners 15s.,.and labourers from 13s. to 14s. all by the week, Another class of workers, who are called "dred gers," are paid still more handsirplely.--portfrfes CouriFr.

GREEN'S NIGHT ASCENT, WITH FIREWORES.—This popular place of entertainment was last evening crowded to an overflow, the programme being, perhaps, the most varied and attractive of the season, including the tableaux vivans by Professor teller, of Berlin, and his corps of male and female artistes, who have created such a sensation on the Continent, and who bring with them testimonials from most of the Courts of Europe; and likewise the last nocturnal ascent of Mr. H.' Green, with fireworks. A large party of the nobility and other persons of distinction occupied private boxes in the Rotunda Theatre, including the Austrian Am bassador and suite, and who warmly expressed their admira tion of the Poses Plastiques. The company afterwards re paired to the Waterloo Ground, to witness the process of inflation, &c., of the Coronation Balloon. The weather happily proved propitious, a slight breeze blowing from the west, and the ascent was decidedly the best of the season, the balloon being distinctly visible for some time; and the, pyrotechnic display was equal, if not superior, to any of the previous efforts of Mr. Darby. The festivities of the gardens were kept up till a late, or rather an early hour this morning. THE SUGARS OF CUBA AND PORTO RIM—LI VERPOOL, THURSDAY.—We have had two importations of these sugars offered for sale by broker's auction this week, one from Cuba, and the other from Porto Rico. That from Cuba was offered yesterday. It consisted of only forty-four boxes ; and although there was aconsiderable attendance, a sale could not be effected owing to the heavy duty, and the whole was withdrawn at 275. and 265. per cwt. The highest prices offered were 255. and 22n 6d. To-day, a rather large impor-, tation from Porto Rico was offered. The sugar was of ex cellent quality, and a very large number of merchants and dealers were attracted by it. The entire cargo consisted of 162 hogsheads, 44 tierces, and 244 barrels. About one-half was sold at various prices.from 235. 9d. to 255. 3d. For the best qualities the highest offers were 245. 6d. and 255. 3d., and they were withdrawn at 265. and 28s. The refiners were the principal purchasers. THE ATMOSPHERIC SYSTEM AND THE SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—The atmospheric system still continues to increase in public favour, and many advantages are likely to be obtained on the South Devon' line by this delay. Mr.. Samuda, the talented engineer, who has the contract for the South Devon line, will still further test its efficiency on the Croydon line before the South Devon Directors during the ensuing week. Wehope to be able to give some account of the experiments in our next. —Plymouth Journal. DIE WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENTS.—Yesterday notices, signed by Mr. Downes and Mr. Taylor, two of the Commissioners of the Westminster Improvements, were served on those persons who have anv interest in the line of the new street, which is to be called Buckingham-road, to the effect that, the Commissioners are ready to treat for the purchase of their, property ; but if they do not send in a claim to their office within twenty-one days from the 23d of September, the Comeaissioners will proceed to a valuation of it, according to the terms of their Act of Parliament. It is said that Mr. Elliott, the brewer, has received 22,000/. for the meadow in front of his brewery, or at the rate of about 4,0001. an acre, and that he had himself laid it out for building on, but the road passing through it he was obliged to make a sale to the Commissioners. The inhabitants who have received these notices ara quite lively at the golden prospect they have in view, but many, no doubt, will be doomed to disappointment. FUNERAL OF PETER GREENALL, ESQ , M.P.— The funeral of Mr. Greenall, Esq., M.P. for Wigan, took place on Wednesday morning last, in the family vault of the Old Church, St. Helen's. Although it was understood to be a private funeral, there was present a vast number of spectators. Every respectable shop in the town has had its shutters half closed since Thursday last, and the inmates of private houses, almost without exception, have displayed their sympathy by also lowering their blinds, and exhibiting those other indi cations of mourning which are usually observed on these oc casions ; but the day of interment appeared to be reserved for a more full demonstration of public feeling, when all parties —Churchman and Dissenter, rich and poor, Conservative anti Liberal, as if by common consent, without the slightest ar rangement, suspended all business, that they might pay the tribute of their deep feelings. of sorrow over the tomb of their late respected townsman ; every shop was fully closed, and continued, so during the day. It is proper to state, that in consequence of the sudden decease of the lamented gentle man, which . occurring whilst in apparent health, an inquest was held on Saturday last at Mr. Glover's, the White Hart Inn, before John Heyes, Esq , coroner, and a respectable jury, when a verdict was recorded of "Died by the Visitation of God."—Liverpool.lllercury. DETERMINED SUICIDE....YeSterally afternoon Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Red Lion, Princes-street, Story's. gate, Westminster, on the body of Mrs. Sarah Day, aged 45.

CRICKET, EIGHT GENTLEMEN OF SURREY WITH THREE PLAYERS v. THE MITCHAM CLUB. It has seldom been our lot tb witness a match of which the interest has gone on iriCrf,asing, as in this case, from the first, till at its close it 1 1 ...1421 become " intense." That such was the case in this match will be readily conceived, when it is stated that the three last wickets had, we think, nine runs only to get. These batsmen then played with vast care, and ran several runs where the ball had been placed just in the mid dle of the play between the wickets, and at length two only were required to make a " tie" game. It chanced that young Sherman hit a ball for two, and off they set, and, as was supposed, accomplished the feat; but it is somewhat difficult to describe the disappointment which was depicted on the countenances of the supporters of Mitcham upon one of the umpires cAPing out " one short," for then a run was still required td'place them on a par with their opponents. The next ball took Mr. Hoare's wicket, and thus they lost the match by one run. The score stood thus:— SURREY. Brockwell, b A. Chadbaud Paul, b ditto C. Coltston, Esq., b Sherman Heath, not out C.

The show too!: place in the pail: attached to the rectory of .Bis e hopwearmouth, which was granted for the occasion by the HoiVand Rev. Dr. Wellesley. The cattle shown were not so numerous as at the preceding exhibitions at Durham, Darlington, and Stockton, but some of the animals were .considered, by competent judges the best. ever exhibited in the kingdom. The exhibitors were almost entirely from Durham,, Northumberland, and Yorkshire. There was, a large attendance of visitors on the ground, amongst whom we noticed the Earl of Ilardwicke, the Hon. H. T. Liddell, M.P., Mr. I. J. Yawn, M.P., Mr. Crofton, of Holywell, the celebrated b r eed e r o f Durham short-horns, and several ether influential gentlemen connected with this and the neighbouring counties. . At the close of the show, the members and friends of the society dined together in the Polytechnic Hall of the Athe nseum. Upwards of 170 sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr: Donkin, of the Bridge Hotel. In the ab sence of J. Bowes, Esq., M.P., the. President of the Society, the chair was taken by J. Fawcett, Esq., of Durham. The vice-chair was filled by T. Shaftoe, Esq., of Whitworth. On the right of the chair word the Mayor of Sunderland (James Allison, Esq.), R. E. .1).

T. - 1...1.61)ELL, ill proposing " Success to, the county, of Durham. Agricultural Society," apologised 4 :or his neglect in not havin g hitherto become a memb er , b ut pro mised to repair the fault before . another anniversexy. His Noble Father, howeVer, was a patron and subscriber, and this might perhaps induce the meeting the more readily to iecept his apology. He regretted th ;the stock shown„ though distinguished for excellence, was only small int quantity, and he looked forward to a better exhibition next year. The Royal Agricultural Society would hold its meeting, in 1846, at Newcastle-upon-'yne, and be bad no doubt that an additional stimulus would be thereby; given to ..local interests, and that the Durham Socie,4. would be , found, growing in numbers and import'ance as years roll on.—(Great cheering.) He could Lot sit down without making a few observations on a su bj ect in which he had been i n s ome degree forestalled by his Noble relative (the Earl of Hardwicke), who ;tad spoken so much to their satisfaction, and who was Ithnself a practical agriculturist, and a distinguished member of the Royal A gri cultural Society. Its Noble Friend bad, with great truth wrS in vain to look fir benefit and judgment, drown th a t it to be derixeci horn modern improvement and the discoveries of science, mdess, in Cie first place, they applied themselves to what might be t erme d t h e rudimental points °fagricultum The land must be laid dry before they attempted to apply to it the aids of manure. Much remained to be done in many portions of this county: No one could take the short journey from Sunderland to Gateshead without seeing on both sa!,; e of the railway fields flooded with water which ought to be carried off by drains ; and if ever there was one year w Bich, more than another, showed the advantages of draining to the most unobservant eve, and in which the spirit and enterprise of the farmer who has bestowed his carnal judiciously on his land will be recompensed, this is the year.—(Loud applause.) We have had in the - northern counties a cold and backward summer, yet 'matte north of Northumberland, and particu larly in those luxuriant districts on the other side of the Tweed, blessed by a fertile soil, but stilt more by an indus trious and wealthy tenantry and lanrYtords who have devoted their attention to ti se improvemerA of their land, he had never seen such magnificent crops, and which, by the blessing of God s were now almost entirely housed in the garners of the growers. Why, 30 years ago, before those cold and wet lands were properly dreLned, cultivated, and manured, the crops would have been drowned in the soil.—(Applausa.) It be came the duty of all who are interested in the land, but particularly the landowners, to give their attention to these points, and to promote by every possible means agricultural improvi3tnent, that production may keep pace with that rapid increase of population of which his noble relative had spoken. —(Applause.) He (Mr. Liddell) agreed with the much canvassed proposition, that property has its duties as well as its rights, and there was no duty more incumbent upon those who are the possessors of property than that of assisting their tenantry in making the - most of the soil which they are deputed ib cultivate, and thereby conferring those blessings on the farmer in the first instance, and the community at large in the second, which may be attained, and which, under the blessing of Providence, I trust will be attained. He had brought before their notice the magnificent crops to be seen in situations where the land has been properly drained and cultivated ; he held up the growers of those crops as examples for the farmers of Durham to follow ; he was sure they had the inclination—he doubted not that they had skill and industry—he hoped they had the means to benefit by it; so that by those exertions not only them selves, but the whole population of this mighty country might be benefited, and so they might snore and more keep pace with the exigencies of a greatly iucreasing population. He believed that if this country were properly cultivated, they would be able, with occasional assistance from foreign markets, to supply the wants of their fellow -countrymen, and thus by their exertions, their children's children to the remotest pos terity would receive advantage from their labours.—(Drank with loud and reiterated cheers.) Several other toasts were proposed, and speeches made on the occasion. LICHFIELD and MIDLAND COUN TIES AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. This show, though in number not great, was in point of quality,good. Mr. Arkwright, son of the celebrated mayu-' facturer of that name, took the chair, and Lord I ngestre, the eldest son of Lord Talbot, officiated as Vice-Chairman. Mr. ARKWRIGIIT addressed the agricultural labourers with very great effect. He urged upon them the necessity of in dustry • he also pressed up on th em th e necess i ty o f attend ing to their children's education and said they had exhibited that day proofs of what could be done by attention to the in structions of their landlords. Lord Ingestre and Captain Dyott, in the course of the evening, addressed the company, and were much applauded. Colonel ANSON (the Member for South StatThrdshire), on rising, said he regretted extremely that he had but little property in the county—that, in consequence of his having so little, he had been induced to take other pursuits ; but that, if ho bad been a landed proprietor, he should have followed another course of procedure. He (Colonel Anson), however, always thought, as regarded the landlord and tenant, there were mutual obligations; that a landlord. bad a right to ask what terms he pleased for the price of his laud, and a tenant had just the same right to make ternis as to its occupancy.. The Gallant Officer proceeded to say, it had always struck him that there was a great mistake existing between the landlord and the tenant. If the land was worth. anything, it was worth the price which the tenant could a'...r• ford to give for it ; and it could not be expected that the ' landlord would ask more than the land was worth, for it was great nonsense to suppose that people could let land or take land, except upon mutual terms. Captain l3vorr, the late candidate for the southern divi sion of the county, said he had thee honour to propose the health of Lord Anson and the Queen's Own Stafford shire Yeomanry. It was to him a matter of sincere congratulation, although he had opposed the family in the representation of the county, to see the scion of that worthy house present upon that occa sion. He (Captain llyott) believed he might say, that however they might differ in politics from the Earl_ of Lichfield, whose absence on account of indisposition they extremely regretted, they could not do otherwise than ex press pleasure in the presence of his son. The Gallant Cap tain concluded by proposing, " The health of Lord Lichfield, Lord Anson, and the Staffordshire Yeomanry." Lord ANsoN, apparently a young and diffident nobleman, then rose.and said he felt much obliged by the compliment just paid to his father by the company. It was to him a very high degree of pleasure to find his father noticed by the gentlemen of Staffordshire, and all he (Lord Anson) could say was 04, as a young man, although he was reluctant to do so, he would be happy to take the chair on the next occa sion, -(Loud cheers.) ' So soon as the routine of these toasts h a d t a k en pl ace , a gentleman, apparently a stranger to the company, wal:aed down the centre of the room, and addressing the chairman Said, Mr. Arkwright, we have heard a great deal of landlords, and we have also heard a great deal of agricultural labourers, and we have had a very pleasing exhibition of those persons to-day ; but I want to call your attention to az.; rieultural tenants, of whom we have heard little or nothing. The Noble Lord (Lord Ingest re ) h as b een p l ease d to talk about leases, and also of game— The gentleman was about to discuss the question, but was interrupted by Captain Dyott and others, members of the association, who contended the question could not be legiti mately introduced. We understood the gentleman to be a Mr. Boddington, of Erdington, and it was ascribed to him to be one of the Anti-Corn-law League; but unquestionably so soon as the chairman called him to order he sat down apparently content to abide by the rules of the association. There is little doubt but this was the first introduction of young Lord Anson, the eldest son of the Earl of Lichfield, to the farmers of South Staffordshire. He is apparently ayoung nobleman of promise, and destined, if family influence eAn carry it, to be the future member for the southern division of Staffordshire. It is well known that the meetings at Lichfield the last three or four years have derived their principal importance from the expected presence of the Premier, Sir Robert Peel. Last year he was to have been president of the dinner, but owing to the illness of his daughter he was legitimately excused. This year he had a call from her Majesty, and on Saturdayy, with Lady Peel, left Drayton M anor f or Osborne House, Isle of Wight. The absence of the Premier had or a most decided influence upon the present meeting, for , although there were present such gentlemen wright, Mr. Levett, and other influentiala gr ic ulturists 3 un d erstood, that the county, it seemed to be pretty general! ndounties Agricul turalafter this present exhibition, the Midland public estimation. The a irArko; Association would drop by the stream. state that in these, the midlfAnd spirit is gone, and the farmers seem in content to be borne down. It may s are well housed, and afpa districts of England, the crop be satisfactory to rently very luxuriant. ARUNDEL AND BRAM/3ZZ AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The anniversary of the above institution was celebrated at the Norfolk Arms Hotel, Arundel, on Thursday. This pretty and ancient town was all alive, in consequence of the fair happening on the same day. His Grace the Duke of Nor folk presided at the dinner, which was a very excellent one, and we noticed near him Lord Edward Howard, Sir Harry Dent Goring, M.P., and several influential gentlemen and farmers of the surrounding country. After dinner the can didates were called in, and his Lordship distributed to then the prizes awarded for breeding of stock, good character, long servitude, &c. The proceedings of. the day were much en livened by' the comic vocal talents of Mr. J. Bruton and Mr. Hare. The Noble Chairman stated that the prize of 50/. offered by him last year to that farmer who should have the best cultriated'farni at the smallest expense must be with drawn in future, in consequence of there being only two applicants in the field. He intended, however, to offer two prizes in lieu th ereo f— one f or drilling,:the otherfor thatching. His Lordship recommended the eating of turnips to the tenantry during the prevalence of blight amongs the pota toes, and stated he had tried the effects of the diseased vege tables on one of his own pigs. The animal was fed on them for ten days consecutively, and appeared to suffer to a certain degree, but it did not die ; and, after this, he thought "poor piggy" should have a better fate, and he wa s r ei ns tat e d to,, his termer food. Sir Harry D. Goring spoke in advocac• the usefulness of the institution, and the day was spent ' en J the utmost harmony.

Their supply from any quar ter to a great extent assumes a degree of importance at the present time, when so much fear is expressed of the failure of the British and also of several of the continental crops of the article, which would not otherwise be the case. With respect to this subject, we may mention that it is assorted that the crop of potatoes in the sister country is remark ably tine this year, which, if it prove to be the case, is au important consideration, although, as this vegetable is a staple article of food there, particularly with the poorer classes of the population, who notoriously comprise a large majority of the whole, it is a matter of doubt whether they can conveniently spare any considerable portion of them for the use of the inhabitants of this portion of the United Kingdom. ILLNESS OF EARL SiENCER.—EarI Spencer, we regret to state, is labouring under a severe and dangerous illness at his seat, Wiseton Hall. near Bawtry. J. E. Morey, Esq., the Mayor of this borough, has been in constant at tendance on his Lordship d urin g the last few days ; and, , with the skilful assistance of Dr, Overend , of Sheffield, per formed an operation which , we arc glad to learn, has relieved his Lordship from immediate danger. His Lordship's me dical attendants fl - om London reached Wiseton on Wednes day evening by railway. The statement of the indisposition of the Noble Earl produced a sorrowing feeling in this town and neighbourhood.—Doncaster Gazette. HIGHWAY RATES.—Since the toll was taken off the Marsh-gate in Lambeth, and the Surrey Theatre- gate, the repairs of the roads have fallen on the parish. The highway rates have hewincreased, increased, to a n enormous..extent, and the poorer inhabitants, who keep neither horses or car riages, complain bitterly of the .obligation they: are under to pay fbr roads for the benefit of the known petitionsthat a t were presented to take off these tolls, it r was h. wel h l e k n n the result would be injurfous to the class of persons who now complain, and who had nothing to do with petitioning. DESCENT OF THE BALLooN--On Tuesday night the Coronation lAlloon, with Mr. H. Green and his corn- Paniwit after leaving Cremorne-gardens, proceeded in a south-westerly direction ' crossing Putney-bridge and Bushy Park. Aft er passing over Long Ditton, Mr. H. Green took measures for his descent; and, about a quarter past nine o'clock, made a safe landing in a pea -field, about forty acres in extent, belonging to Mr. Castledine, of Clay-gate. He was there nearly two hours without receiving any assistance, though hee xhibited several strong lights. ~_ Z ,~ =x _._ 7l '_ _ _ _ /lam - ._-~ NM
