If the meetings of every agricultural society went off like that of the East Cumberland Association, we should hail them as being in the highest degree con ducive to the national welfare and prosperity. There was no unmanly whining after exclusive privileges, no grasping after shadows, no indulgence in vain anticipations, but a resolute and straightforward de termination to make the best of existing circumstances, and to enter fairly into the competition that every man engaged in any trade or manufacture, must be prepared to encounter. Such will speedily be the case in every district where the farmers and occupiers of the soil are exempted from the blighting influences of the FOSKETTS, the CHOWLERS, and the BENNETTS, and allowed to ascertain their true condition without being encouraged to entertain unreasonable expecta tions, or to yield to undue despondency. On the ono side, they should know that every man is not horn a farmer, that there is no regal road to agricultural science, but that those who desire to pros per, to m[;ke both ends meet, and pay their way with agent and rate-collector, must be thoroughly educated for that task, and must have at least a fair notion of the mode in which he is to obtain the largest and most valuable produce from his lands, at the least possible outlay. A farmer o f th e presen t d ay canno t h ope t o have his life one of unceasing amusement ; he cannot afford to rise late, to indulge in horses and dogs, and to neglect the cultivation of the soil, his only legitimate source of income. No; he must recollect that agricultural, like every other description of " labour," is only properly and efficiently executed " under the eye of he muster." He must therefore be prepared to devote by far the greater portion of his time to that superintendence which is absolutely essential. He must also enter upon the contest on fair condi tions, unclogged with restrictions, against which no man could hope to struggle. lie must, in the first place, hold his lands at a fair rent, not based on war prices, when inconvertible notes, the worthless rags at which the bullionists turn up their noses, were in abundance, and the country possessed that great desideratum, a circulating medium adequate to its wants and exigencies. Nor caa he have his lands charged with portions for a numerous body of brothers and sisters, and be called upon to satisfy large demands for interest in each and every year. No ; the man thus encum bered must necessarily go to the wall, unless pos sessed of almost supernatural zeal and activity ! And why should it be otherwise in agricultural pursuits than it unquestionably is in trading, commercial, or manufacturing occupations ? " A clear stage and no favour," is what every free-born man should claim as his birthright ; and if he obtains that, he will have no cause to complain. _ _ _ Nor will he do so unless exposed to undue influ ences. Tell him that he is an ill-treated man, that he is entitled to live witnout exertion, to have the pro ce of the soil made dear by artificial and restrictive e'aactments, so that he will have at least a pound per quarter more for his wheat than present quotations. He will lend an easy credence to the too flattering tale—believe that all classes should pay tribute to the farmer, nay, for there are no bounds to human credu lity, will begin to think that he is a deeply injured man, because the artisan or operative, toiling to ob tain a scanty provision for his family, ob jects to pay double price for his children's bread, merely because it would be convenient and agreeable to himself to receive it. Quod volumus facile cre dinaus. It is indeed surprising to know the capacity of the swallow, the enormous gullibility that prevails, and which may easily be brought to their utmost di .mensions when acted upon by a stentorian voice, .apid volubility, and unblushing assurance. But there is a bold manly spirit about our yeomanry, a sound practical wisdom that, will incline ;them to better things when they find persons, in 'whom they can place confidence, giving more salutary lessons than those above alluded to. We find the Selby Agricultural Society listening atten tively to Lord BEAUMONT, the West Derby Associa tion cheering Mr. GISBORNE, the farmers of North Lancashire rapturously applauding Lord DE TABLEY, the men of Bucks receiving with enthusiasm the judicious advice of their talented representative Mr. DISRAELI, " not to look for the re-imposition of a fixed duty or a sliding scale ;" and the East Cumber land Association approving of the sentiments of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and following in the path indicated by the Right Hon. Baronet. It is indeed delightful to find a person, whose un questionable attainments and distinguished position entitle his opinions to considerable weight, indicating to his agricultural brethren the means by which they will be enabled to meet their opponents in friendly emulation. They must avail themselves of all the lights of modern science, bringing the lands in their occupation into the highest degree of fertility, and economising every expense to the lowest point con sistent with the due cultivation of their holdings. Sir JAMES is, indeed, an unimpeacable witness, for, as he justly remarks, he is himself bound up with the agricultural interest. On this part of the case we can not do better than quote the concluding words of the admirable address of the Right Honourable Gentle man : " I cm among the first to admit that the basis of our national prosperity is the produce of the soil. If it were not so I should be poor indeed, for all I possess is in land, and in land of this county; you, therefore, have the utmost pledge of my sincerity and my wish to promote the welfare of the agriculture of this county; but you must have it in a manner coincident with the welfare of the community ; and these are the objects and these the modes in which to attain that end. Societies of this kind appear to me to have that tendency, and I was de lighted to hear a sentiment which fell from you, Mr. Vice-Chairman. You said you did not despair of the prosperity of the agricultural interest. You said that agriculturists must meet increased difficulties with in creased exertions. You added that Heaven always favours those who help themselves, and that the agricul tural interest would not be the la s t i n t eres t t o ma k e th e requisite exertion. It is only necessary that the exer tion should be well directed. It is the duty of landlords to lead the way in respect to all these improvements and experiments ; the landlords of England mus t not b e l e f t behind in the race of exertion, and, if we be a united b ody, then I say, Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true."' Liberty of the Press appears to be just now at a discount throughout the European continent. Whether we look to the capital of a despotism or of a de mocracy we perceive everywhere the same intoler ance towards journalism on the part of their respec tive Governments. It is by this time, we conceive, tolerably notorious that M. VICTOR HUGO has in curred the displeasure of the authorities of the French Republic, and his ingenious tranformation of the Evenement into the Avenement has become already as familiar to the political circles among the Parisians as the celebrated metamorphoses of the National, immediately prior to the second revolution. E ven , as will be seen from our foreign intelligence of this evening, the phlegmatic or cautious Journal des Debats, has been excited by recent occurrences to such a depth of indignation that it has protested, boldly, and almost audaciously, against a course of proceed ing so arbitrary and intolerant as that which has of late been evidenced in those official prosecutions. According to the interpretations put upon recent oc currences by the Debats, it bluntly avows ithat the late rigorous condemnations pronounced on the press prove, if they prove anything, that the journals, with scarcely a solitary exception, are for the time being very far indeed from being in the good graces of the country. A stran ge and somewhat startling acknow ledgment in reference to that journalism which, in 1848, was allowed on all hands to have constituted a Provisional Government in the Hotel de Ville, if it did not actually subvert a throne and transform a monarchy into a republic. " It is useless to deny the fact," says the Journal des De.bats, "we are not popular." Allowing, for the sake of argument, that such is actually the case, the recent prosecutions are not upon that showing, it must at the moment be allowed, by any means whatever jus tified. On the contrary, it would appear that from that very reason only a frivolous waste of power to be thus employing a tyrannical energy for the punishment of organs which, one might imagine, to be sufficiently punished, also, by the unpopularity. " Public opinion," continues the Dads, "is in one of those periods of reaction which always succeed irregular commotions." Upon that understanding it is worse, immeasurably worse, than an idle expenditure of the energies of the Exe cutive to be dealing thus harshly with the journals of Paris, inflicting upon their gerants or redacteurs at pleasure penalties, fines, or imprisonments. By acting in this arbitrary manner the Government is adopting the most effectual course imaginable for the reinstatement of those newspapers, and the individuals conducting them in popularity, acknowledged to be a caprice on the part of the population. Render the most unpopular journalist in the country an object of general sympathy, by placing him in the position of one who has fallen a victim to the severity of an un merited and despotic prosecution, and you endow him with that very influence in an aggravated form, both as to its intensity and its magnitude, which you are solicitous i❑ reality to diminish or to annihilate. Precisely after this fashion are the members of the French Government acting under the present emer gency, enhancing the very power they would deterio rate by acts of oppression as ill-advised as they are altogether unjustifiable. Transferring our scrutiny from the direction of Paris to that of Vienna, turning from the Republi c of France to the despotism of Austria, we perceive at the present moment the same rash interference with the press on the part of its insolent and domi neering Government. Among the most recent and most flagrant evidences of this violation of all the dic tates of right reason is that of the virulent prosecu tion of the editor of a facetious periodical called the Iluniourist. What Punch is in London, and the Om rivari in Paris, the I lumourist is in Vienna, a vehicle for drolleries of the most subtle or of the most bizarre description, having a social or political tendency, ac cording to the inspiration of the contributors. For the perpetration of a joke which, if published in the volumes of Punch, might only have provoked a smile on the lips of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, the unfor tunate conductor of the Humourist was very recently condemned to no less than two months' imprison ment! While, however, the writer might be punished, it proved on the trial that the wit could not by any possibility be dumbfoundered, M. Sarum, the person in question, demanding naïvely in open court whether it was treasonable to repeat the Lord's Prayer, seeing that " deliver us from evil" might he construed into an aspiration for the overthrow of the Government ? It would appear, in truth, that despotism is ever demented in its dealings with a power which defies its authority more effectually, the more frequently, and the more vigorously it is assailed. From the period when MILTON raised his majestic voice in be half of the press, until our own, the arguments in favour of its remaining unfettered have only been multipled with every additional instance of persecu tion. And journalism, as if in testimony of this, has risen scathless from every attack, and not only scathless, but with a vigour materially enlarged by its contentions with its assailants. Ultimately the fact of this consequence must become so manifest to the more despotic Governments of Christendom, that with an eye to their own security they will be induced to refrain from any similar indulgence of their ani mosity. Journalists will then be alike denied the perils of prosecution and the glories of martyrdom. A respected Irish Contemporary, Saunders's .News- Letter, states that a very influential company has been formed in England, at the head of which is the PRINCE CONSORT for the purpose of buying up lands in Ireland. It adds that the purchases are expected to be on a most extensive scale, and that persons in their employment are now bu6ied in obtaining infor mation on the spot as to the position and value of various estates. Although we willingly acknow ledge the early information and general accuracy of our Contemporary, and its caution against lending the sanction of its name to any un founded rumours, we fear that in the present in stance " the wish is father to the thought." We receive the announcement, fearing that it is " too good news to be true." Whether, however, the account may be relied on or not, of this we are cer tain, that an undertaking more profitable to the s hareholders, and beneficial to the community at large, could scarcely be devised. It would, in deed, be but following out the advice of Sir ROBERT PEEL, so emphatically tendered, the result of his deliberate and unprejudiced judgment. We heard much at the time of the intentions to act on these judicious suggestions. The corporation of London took the matter in hand, and for a time all appeared couleur de rose. Unfortunately, however, the enthusiasm subsided, and nothing practical was achieved by any public body, or, with some rare and honourable exceptions, by private enterprise. We still saw valuable estates submitted to public com petition, with a certainty that no reasonable offer would be refused, and under circum stances as to title more favourable to pur chasers than had ever previously been offered, without producing any corresponding effect. A species of panic hung over the market, the supply largely ex ceeded the demand, and although capitalists freely acknowledged that each successive lot was disposed of far below its real value, and that excellent bargains were in every instance obtained, they could not be induced to come forward, appearing to think that Irish estates were "a drug in the market," that could be obtained at any prices that the consciences of bidders might induce them to offer, and that ten, twelve, or even fourteen per cent., was only a fair return for money invested in real estates on the other side of St. George's Channel. Many will, hereafter, have cause to deplore this strange delusion, to regret the golden opportuni ties they have let slip through their fingers ; but it is not yet too late to repair their mistake. Bargains may still be obtained,"although not at the ridiculously inadequate prices that have heretofore prevailed ; well circumstanced estates cannot now be obtained at ten years' purchase, but they may be had at two-thirds of their actual value, which, we.; have no doubt, will be willingly paid for them in a very few years. Everything at this moment is calculated to improve the value of land in Ireland. The super abundant population is rapidly thinning, and the flight across the Atlantic will speedily complete what famine commenced and pestilence continued. There is now a rage for " emigration." Every one that can accomplish it is now flying from his father land, and the movement is not restricted to the peasantry, but substantial farmers, the very thews and sinews of the country, are participating . There will be ample room for the new corners, who will be cordially welcomed by their Celtic brethren, and with energy, determination, and a mo derate amount of capital, we venture to say that active men can now do better in Ireland than in any part of Great Britain, or even in another hemi• sphere, far removed from all their early friends and associations. TUB METROPOLITAN ROADS.—The following is an abstract of a document just laid before the Marylebone vestry, by Mr. Scace, the surveyor, as to the cost of making and keeping in repair some of the most important roads in the parish for the last twelve years :—The New-road, mea suring 26,400 yards, cost, for twelve years, 20,4431. ; average per year, 1,7031. 131.

THE HOP DUTY.—Measures are being adopted in Sussex to renew the agitation for a repeal of the hop duty ; and at a meeting just held at Hastings it was resolved : '• That the small crop of hops inlthe present.season in Sus sex and the Weald of Kent render it necessary to Apply to the Government for a postponement of the next instalment of the duty." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The prosecution of the press by the Government seems to have aroused at last the indignation even of the Journal des Debats, in whose columns have ap peared some energetic arguments against those pro ceedings. The circumstance is the more significant from the fact that hitherto the Journal des _Mats has carefully avoided every chance of being mixed up in the possibilities of a prosecution. In spite of this caution, however, it speaks out at length with a chivalrous emphasis. The National upon the same subject speaks as follows : " The day of the 19th September will count as one of the most fatal for the republican press. Let our col leagues, struck in combatting, receive the painful expression of our sympathies ; our heart vibrates at all the blows directed against them. Let us con fess besides, since such an avowal becomes a peril, that the whole democratic party is engaged in the struggle supported by the different organs of de mocratic opinions. Guardians of the law, sentinels of the Republic, the constitutional journals form a sort of rampart. If it bo beaten down, the field will remain free for all excesses. Do we not already see the lengths to which the zeal of the writers who represent parties hostile to the fundamental compact carries them ? What insults, what a permanent insurrection against the laws of the country ! What would it be then on the day on which they should be masters, in which they should be alone in the field that we defend? This day is no doubt far off. The liberty of the press has sur vived attacks which were perhaps more violent, if not more persevering and more numerous. It has had its defeats, but has passed triumphantly through all trials. All the powers which have engaged in a struggle against it have boon destroyed." A report of the murder of some gendarmes at Lyons has happily been contradicted by two of the local newspapers. By a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, M. HEDati WELTER, Mayor of Beaune, has been dis missed from his offic. The Assemblie National has a curious notice of an article in the Voix du Proscrit, in which the year 1852 is spoken of for the overthrow of all the thrones of Europe. General CORNEMUSE, Commander of the 3d bri gade of infantry of the 3d division of the army of Paris, has just been appointed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic head of the staff of the army of Paris. The PRESIDENT of the Republic rode out on horse back on Saturday, accompanied by an orderly officer. The day being very fine, there was a large crowd of persons round the Elysee, and a considerable number of promenaders were on the side walks of the Champs Elpee. The PRESIDENT proceeded at a foot-pace towards the Barrfere de l'Etoile, and was most re spectfully saluted by persons of all classes. There was no shouting, but almost every head was uncovered as he passed. The Bourse was animated, and the speculators ap peared to have completely recovered from the panic of Saturday. The Five per Cents. opened at 91f. 20c., and closed at 91f. 85c. for the end of the month, being a rise of lf. 15e. as compared with the closing price of Saturday last; the Three per Cents. closed at 56f. 45c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 860 f.; Rouen, 573 f. 75c.; Havre, 2501.; Great Northern, 460 f.; Avignon, 205 f.; Vierzon, 425 f.• Basle, 150 f.; Bordeaux, 381 f. 25c.; Paris and Straburg, 353 f. 75c.; Tours and Nantes, 262 f. 50c.; Amiens to Boulogne, 260 f.

Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived. A Cabinet Council had been held on the Cuban invasion, the Ministers immediately afterwards re ceiving kr. MARTIN, editor of a Spanish journal in New York, who had brought over dispatches, and who gave information as to what had taken place in that city. The next day Mr. MARTIN had an inter view with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. It was said in political circles that important instructions had been sent off on the subject to the Ambassadors at London and Paris, and that 8,000 men were to be forwarded forthwith to Cuba. According to the Herald() the affair still continued to create an extra ordinary sensation throughout the capital. It will be observed that the Cabinet Council above noticed took place a month after the day on which the last conflict took place, in which General ENNA was killed, and in which General LOPEZ obtained his last illusory success.

A letter from Rome dated the 14th inst., published in the Univers, contains the following : " On the 10th of this month, a man named Salvatori, syndic or governor under the Republic, was executed in the town of Agnani. This is the first time since the resto ration of the Pope, that the penalty of death has been inflicted in the Pontifical States. Salvatori was accused and convicted of having esusad to be shot a worthy ec clesiastic, archi-priest of a little town of the neighbour hood, and also another person, an honourable father of a family. A third victim escaped the same fat e by fli g ht. Salvatori, for the execution of this glorious design, applied to Garibaldi, who was th en i n th e mounta i ns , after the battles which his bands sustained against the army of the King of Naples, in the month of May, 1849. Garibaldi charged Colonel de Pasqualis to sup ply a platoon of 16 men, to exterminate an enemy of the Republic. The famous chief of Condottieri, and the re publican Colonel, are implicated in the pro se c u ti on as accomplices of the assassination. We are assured that the Holy Father hesitateda long time bef ore g i v i ng hi s approbation to the execution of the sentence, and cle mency would perhaps have prevailed, had not it been for the attack on Count Dandiui." The same document likewise contains a detailed account of the late attempt to commit murder in the Eternal City by means of an infernal machine. The Emperor of AC/STRIA visited Mantua on the 17th. After inspecting the barracks and forts, his MAJESTY returned to Verona on the same day. The Milan Gazette gives an account of the audience granted on the 15th by the E m p eror o f AusTniA to the deputation from Milan, consisting of the Podesta and three municipal assessors of that city. His MAJESTY received them very graciously, and as sured them he would honour the capital of Lombardy with his august presence, and prolong his stay there according to circumstance. The deputation returned to Milan with this favourable news, and the Podesta immediately issued a notification, inviting the inhabi tants to illuminate their houses on the night of his MAJESTY'S arrival, and recommended that the street& and windows be suitably decorated.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE EARL or MOUNT EDGECUMBE.—As this respected Noblemanwas being drawn in his wheel chair from -Norfolk House, Cowes, on Saturday, in turning a corner the chair was upset, and his Lordship thrown out of it on to his head. Fortunately he had a hat on, which broke the blow, but yet his Lordship was quite stunned. Ho was carried back to his house, and the as sistance of Drs. Hoffmeister and Cass called in. His Lord ship has not since left his bed, but we are happy to say that, except a severe bruise on the side, he was not seriously injured. PRINCESS'S TUEATRE.—The veteran comedian, Mr. Harley, will take his benefit to-morrow (Wednesday), when the comedy of Town and Country will be revived. Few actors have enjoyed for so many years the favour of the London public, and few, indeed, have deserved it better. CLONMEL, SEPT. 20.—The 43d Regiment, under command of Colonel Furlong, received a very unexpected route to march for Cork, where they will embark for the Cape of Good Hope. The first division marched yesterday, and were accompanied out of town by men of every grade, to whom officers and men were endeared by their excellent conduct since they came to be quartered in this garrison. They are to be replaced by the 89th Regiment.— Clonrncl Chronicle.

There was a moderate business doing in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday; sales 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 wore taken for export and the remainder to the trade.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done, and prices of all kinds were higher than on Saturday. Another failure occurred yesterday in connexion TV ith the produce market, but the liabilities of the party in volved are so limited that there is no necessity tor men tioning them by name. Other houses have been in convenienced by the difficulty of obtaining the same amount of accommodation on dock warrants, as they formerly did; we hear, however, that their pay ments have been quietly arranged. The partial stagna tion which has for some time been felt in this branch of business seems to have led to more stringency in the management of the large money establishments. The accounts from the country announce an improved condition of trade in the manufacturing towns. Such is more especially the case with respect to Manchester, Birmingham, and Nottingham. The orders were more general in several departments of our provincial industry. The French intelligence obtained this morning havieg been much more tranquillising in its tenour, the English Funds have felt its influence.
