Empowered.by Act of Parliament. • • The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by, the Na tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, for the better tadiance ment of the objects of . Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received the approbation - of st.considerable body of the active niembe; . s• and officers of those Institutions, and the Directors ofthe,Nationat Loan Fund Society having been-urgently-solicited by them t establish a Branch Office in connexion with th.e gocieties, and the Operative Classes gineially, in which - their services might be successfully en gaged, a Committlee has been sanctioned by the Directors to open communication with the different Societies, with the view of more effectually disseminating the valuable benefits amongst the Indus• trioas classes, and a plate has been utoposed with that object. ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE, Many praiseworthy but ineffectual ettempta have been made to bring withiteehe s seope asp opelation of the laws of-mortality and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal culations regulating their distribution, having for their object either Immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con struction of these associations or societies is defective; and that In stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, whit} should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the e,annel through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in proportion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is bolted. For example, it is not to every individual or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecuniary sacrifice ; whi e to others such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy; that is to say, instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate henetit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar functions. and by confounding a sick allowance and art annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No meclianie n can be so perfect for the management of a sick - ess-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it. Rut the same perfection, or the sans- se tufty, is seldom attainable where a fued is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where e s sults arc to bear out calculations, money investment being iii r,-eral beyond the experience of the industrious classes. For thew, reasons it is clear that the funds destined for a provision in ilckves , stronld be kept entirely distinct from the find intended as a provision for ced age : - let Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and indiv dual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure is the performance of such a contract , teat when undertaker on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial eodlei. 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when milted in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still mere this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have had several meetings. with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an ad atonal force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search automat the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal in simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency of abandoning a provision In sickness, no one can read the other part of the plan itself, without being fully saslsfleil that the conven'ence and safety of Friendly and I.:end:lt Societies will be greatly secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick allowance from an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious classes in general, resolutions have been entered into, con stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed nrospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital or the Society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will In their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them.

The dise.ese, it sneers, is not yot fully proved to exist !o ae,y extent that can be considered general. It is true Oere are rumours, and unmistakeable signs, from the Queen's Couety and County Carlow. On last Sunday tee Bishop ot Carlow sounded the alarm. After Divine service, a we are informed by one of the congregation, seatter , d themselves about, and scoured the ceuntry for many miles arouni, and returned under the impres sion that the case was by no means so alarming as they were at first led to suppose. We had the intelligence on Saturday, both from the Carlow Sentinel arid from Mr. Spong, of Carlow, but being unwilling to circulate se dangerous a rumour, we at once proceeded to the county Kildare, and the first crops we examined were those planted on every suitable occasion, from the middle of October to the middle of April last ; some in the vineries, some out by the garden walls, and the rest in the open fields, separately, and as mixed crops. Those in the vineries we could find no traces of disease on ; the same we can say of those in the gar dens ; but in the field crops, which are of more import ance, we observed a darkness of sap in the cellular tissue ot the plants; just where the stem touches the surface of the,earth. 'Die parts above, including the leaves, and the parts below, including the rootlets, old and young tubers, all perfectly sound and healthy looking as ever we saw them in any other year. Whether the dark fluid alluded to contains the germs of disease, or whether it be so far vitiated as to render the plants more susceptible of being injured by atmos pheric phenomena, brought to bear on the sap, in its ascent or descent, or both, we know not, as time alone can determine. One thing we believe, that if the pota toes we are considering are diseased, the disease has commenced in a manner different to what it has done, either last year or the year before. We subsequently inspected and examined several other fields in different localities, and the result of our investigations corres ponded exactly with those already alluded to. Nut content with out own investigation, we resolved, on consulting some of the best practical authorities, and coupling those with our own observations and experience of this year's crop, we are led to hope the cases so dangerously reported are, to say the least of them, a little exaggerated. Nevertheless, too much vieilaece cannot be practised in watching the crop; and, as a Positive good may proceed from a negative evil, our advice is, to all who have potatoes planted, and who are not quite certain of escaping the disease, (as, indeed, few, if any can be,) that immediate steps be taken to secure a crop of some other kind in the same land, whilst there is yet time. This can be acne without in curring much expe se beyond what would be absolutely necessary to secure a well grown crop of potatoes in an ordinary season. Let those who have them in hay beds (erroneously so welled) pulverize the earth well about and between the stalks, removing all weeds, , is a matter of course ; let whatever manure that can be procured, whether it be dung, ashes, burnt-earth, sea-weeds, half de composed land weeds, bone-dust, guano, or any other simple or compound meeure, be plced in a central position between the stalks—the earth pricked up out of the bottoms and sides ot the furrows, and shove lied carefully over the entire bud, like" second spitting ;" :aid as fast as the work proceeds, whilst Ow yarth is fresh and nriit, drop throe or four f, , rain ~r Ab•rtleen or some other good rough leaved each space, as alr eady described. The eais in thi s case, will not be over three or four ,ifilliogs pet acre, including the dropping of the seed, which any little boy or girl can do. It the potatoes succeed, the turnips, inferior though they may be, will be of much value ; if the potatoes do not succeed, the turnips will be invaluable. far for beds, and now for drills :—Let them be weeded, and horse and hand-hoed immediately, if not already done ; if more manure be desirable, let it be placed between the pot eto pl ants ; the earth, when properly pulverised, raised up as if " land ng" them ; and the turnip seed put in, as already directed for beds. The expense of seed and labeur, in this ease, will be less, and the profits greater than on beds. More we will not say for the present week, than to repeat our earnest and urgent advice that these operations be at once performed, whether the potatoes are diseased or not. We cannot conclude without again thanking those e,entlemen who so promptly responded to our inquiries, and we trust that our friends throughout the country will faveur us with their opinions respecting the state of er..p+ generally in their different localities. The .ol owing further information is from the letter of a gentleman named Hartland, in the Southern Reporter ~f Thursday : " Mr. John Jeffery, known by many of your readers the talented gardener who had charge for many years of the splendid gardens at Micheltown, has re turned from the inspection of the potato gardens at Restellan and the neighbourhood, assisted by Mr. M'Nab, the eminent agriculturist, residing there, and both agree that there is no trace of disease in that quarter. "I am daily receiving the most flattering accounts from different quarters in the country, all concurring that the potatoes are flourishing, and promise abundance. Many expect to use them before July, as the great heat, so happily sent to us, will bring all crops speedily to maturity, especially the potato." From a geetlemen sent to report upon the condition of Bandon by the same journal, we have this informa tion : " In the neighbourhood of Bandon this pl int gives promise of a speedy and abundant crop. One of our re porters, who visited that neighbourhood on Tuesday, states that every field he saw appeared to be in n most healthy condition; and though ho made minute incpities, he could rot bear that the disease had made its appear • ance in any quarter. Stiould the hot weather we have had for the last few days continue, a fortnight or three weeks from hence will bring considerable sunlies of this esculent into the market " • ABOLITION OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.----The Select Committee of - the House of C.:mrnons on the abolition of Snlithfield-market. met again on Tu' a lay in Committee- room N o , 7. Several witnesses were examined. Mr. W. Sylves ter, butcher, of Chancery-lane, said the sheep and beasts ,uf• fered no injury up to the time of their arrival in the nvigl,- bourhood of London. He considered that the damage was done in moving them from the suburban 'Ayers to Smithfield, where the space was so confined as to render excessive cruelty unavoidable, which caused the meat to be very much bruised. The greatest cruelty was, he considered, in forming the ring droves, which was in consequence of the very limited space of Smithfield obliged to be practised, and it was done in the following manner :—A Crazier who had only been able to get 150 instead. of 200 feet ..standing room for a certain number of beasts, formed then into a ring by which Al their heads met in a circle, and to compel them to go into th(ye rings the most horrible cruelty was adopted. Chairman—How do, von account for the fact that salesmen have preferred Smith field-market to any other which has been proposed ?—Wit ness—Smittield is maintained by a combi nat i on amongst money takers and salesmen, against whose influence no market, however advantageous, could compete successfully, and the a,,oner that cocabination is done away with the better 1 for all parties. iIEAT'S INN, Jusn 9.—Richard Edvairti Esq , and Matthew C, , wbe, E q., were this day called to the . degree of Barriater-atrLaw by the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, IRELAND. THE HA RV Es r.-POTATO CROP. DUBLIN, JUNE 7.--Thengricultural reports continue to be most favourable, as regards Ce grain crops of alt . kinds, an utily corn harvest is I-intl. 4)llNi n;I quarers. A v e ry extraor di nar y co ntroversy is carried on respe c ti ng t h e potato clop — on o ne side, : aliegarions are made that the disease of last year: has again appeared; and i ns t a n c es are mentioned where whole acres have been blighted; but, on the other, the most-positive denials of the existence of the disease . ,► crop presents a are published. Almost withLut exception, the provin cial journals state th at t h e new potat) most healthy and luX ur i ant appearance , without the slightest symptom ofthe much dreaded disease. The dispute is charaeterisedDy allii;;-vehemenca of personal quarrel, and , the most sordid motives are attributed to those persons, especially seedsmen or market gardeners, who assert that the blight is ex tending. It is quite probable that the potatoes in some localities are effected, but as yet not to any Serious extent; and it may happen, as had been the case last } ear, that a large portion of the early crop will escape aliogether. The disease, if it exist, must have assumed a very modified form, and one much less rapid in destruc tiveness than that of last July. But with regard to the wheat, oat, barley, and bere crops, there is a universal concurrence of opinion as to their satisfactory .progress, and the prospect of an abun dant yield. The fo 1 ing are the provincial reports : A Tipperary correspondent of the Evening Post writes, &der date of Nenagh, dune• 6, "The crops in general in and about this town are trust luxuriant and ticurishing ; their appearance indicates an abundant harvest. As to the potato crop, I never saw it in a more prosperous con dition. Let the forestallers ant! regraters say what they will to the contrary, I trust we shall have an early and good supply of that esculent." BALLINABLOE (COUNTY GALWAY) -- We never re member to have seen the country look so beautiful; every description of c p appears in the most flourish ingi condition, and p toes (which were sown much more plentifully than thought) bid fair, so far as we can yet judge, to , set the predictions of the •• black prophets" at defiance. I.3vr. and barley are in full car in many places, and in-one -or two instances, the termer is so rerwvrd as to be changing to the yellow ripening colour. Wheat, too, looks luxuriant, and, on the whole, if it be the will of Providence to cau-.e no unfavourable change, we have every reason to anticipate an early and ~ buodant harvest. . COUNTY OF Smoo:—The crops look most promising. t it sltivfactory to know that up to this the potatoes ok well, aqd this fact is really surprising, when wr .otl,i :er the inferior kind of seed generally planted. from present appearances there is just ground 4r hoping an early and abundant harvest. COUNTY OF C, , ix.—The Cork Reporter of Saturday says—" Tile weather throughout the week has been de lightful. and its effect on the growing crops is being rapidly and beneficially developed. The corn lidds look no‘ , st luxuriant, and fruit, vegetables, - preent a like encouraging aspect. - -There w.,.s yesterday left at our office a splendid sample of wheat. in full ear, grown on the lands of Mr. A. It Sl'Swiney, near this city. It is of the foreign species, called Mariawple, which is reckoned the best rot - the mzinu:'acture of flour. It was sown in November, and, until the late genial weather, appeared a very delicate crop, hut it is now looking beautiful, and will be early ready for the sickle. -With respct to the all absorbing topic—the state of the po tato crop —we are happy to be enabled to con- • • ••••• tinue our previou s favourable reports. No au thenticated came of tailure has as yet come to our Ithowledge or observation in this county. On the contrary, all the accounts we receive, and they are numeroum and well authenticated, declare the crops to be I , .oking sound, heathy, and promising. Nlew potatoes are no longer deemed a notelty, but mty be every day of the week purchased in the mat ket at the rate of about a shilling per dozen. As we have before remarked, it is only our province to record facts as we ascertain them, and it only remains Tor - us to ad I, that though it is by no means unlikely that some failures have occurred in other districts, and partial symp toms of last year's disease re-appeared, the alarming ac counts published in one or two Dublin papers within the lust few days have not received credence here, but are re garded with distrust and suspicion, and motives of no complimentarycharacter broadly attributed tt, the writers. Rumours of failure are every day circulated in Cork, but when they come to be inquired into they are invariably found to be the rever-e of true, and arc easily traceable to interested parties. More than one such instance came under our notice yesterday, where the shameful fabrication was exposed, and to-day a gentleman from the Rennies, hearing that a report found its way into the Constaution (though that journal distrusted its accuracy), that Luke Joseph Shea, Esq., had tur,,ed up a large field of po tatoes that failed, assured us that there was not one word of truth in it, and that at this season of the year, he never knew the potato crop to look better or more promising in his neighbourhood." THE MONETARY CRISIS. In this city there is yet not the least indication of im provement in monetary affairs, and traders, even those heretofore considered most solvent, find it exceedingly difficult to obtain discounts on any terms. There have been many failures—a few serious ones, but the bulk of the stoppages are amongst small struggling establish ments which had been trading on credit. The principal failures are amongst the wine, leather, and grocery trades. At the share-markets there is an almost total suspen sitm of busines, and to effect sales n great sacrifice must be made. Tile half-yearly meeting of the Hibernian Banking Company was held this day. The usual dividend, at the of five p. r cent., w as d ec l ared. Th e di rectors , in their report, express their regret that the state of the money-market does not allow the bank to afford the ,snal extent of facility in the way of discount to their customers.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The meeting of to-day, being the first of this body -ir ce the death of Mr. O'Connell, has been looked for sard to with a considerable degret• of interest, and the Attendance was consequently extremely numerous. Amongst the mein, prominent leaders of th moveinaLt present were—Maurice O'Connell, M.P., J. M. MP, J. O'Connell, M.P., Alderman O'Brien, M.P., and several members of the corporation. The chair was taken by Alderman DELAHUNTY, of Waterford, who briefly :addressed the meeting, urging the necessity of united action in carrying out the principles promulgated by the deceased leader of the Irish people. The SECRETARY submitted to the meeting communi cations from various quarters to the Association. The the Mulluigar Conferm.ce, (titer express at the demise of Mr. O'Connell. c tah l n e gd r g t : li hm e e ir rndoeep confidence in the Member fur Kilkenny, say, " We recognise the Loyal Naional Repeal Association as the organ of our political principles. The creation of O'Connell's judgment and patriotism, it is guided by rules which embody his spirit. Organised by the:great emancipator, scLooled by the eloquent lessons of such a master, still clinging to the principles, and revering the maxims of wisdom he has bequeathed to his 'country, it is the only public body entitled to our confidence, and to it we will adhere." The citizens of Waterford forwarded resolutions adopt, d ate public meeting consequent on the news of the death of Mr. O'Conni 11, the principal one being— .. That more than ever convinced of the inadequacy of all other measures proposal to remedy the great evils in Ireland's social mid political position, and to raise her: from her pre-ezit most deplorable: con• dition, it is our firm, deliberate, and unalterable purpose never, until success shall crown our efforts, to preservation cease seeking and working by those loyal, peaceable, and crimeless means which the Liberator has devised as the surest, the speediest, and most unexceptionable to obtain the only effectual cure for Ireland's grievances t t h o e them th a t p rosper i ty and happiness which it is in vain to expect from I m p er i a l and miseries, the restoration of a Parliament of her own, the devoted exclusively to the promotion of her welfare, of developmentlives ser her people,of he and her resources, ih legislation. An rddress from the Trades Political Union to Mr. John O'Connell was read by Mr. O'Brien on the part et that body; to which Mr. O'Connell made the following r, ply:— " TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL TRADES POLI TICAL UNION OF IRELAND. -'''• • " Gentlemen:—l respectfully and heartily thank you for the kind and touching address with which you have honoured me. • " I cannot follow you through your eloquent recital of th , incidents and c haracteristics of my beloved father's life.

Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL, M.P., then submitted to the meeting the following document, as the remonstrance of the Roman Catholic Mmhers of Parliament in the case of Captain Norris : " TO THE RIGHT HON.

" You must pardon us for saying that this course does not seem consistent with the commonest fair play. It the charges were not to be established, they should not have been made. As they have been made, it is due to the respected parties assailed—clergymen held in the highest veneration by their flocks and by the Catholic community generally—that they should be confronted with their reckless accuser, and given the opportunity of vindicating themselves. If ycu persevere in refusing, we are bound to say that you in a manner proclaim to the Catholic people of Ireland that their clergy may be insulted with impunity by every petty official ; and that no redress, but, on the cola, ary, an adoption of the insults, is to be expected from the G .vernment. " We are, sir, your obedient servants." . _ _ Mr. O'CoNNELL (in continuation) wished it to be ob served that that letter should not be regarded as ema nating from the Repeal Association, but from the Roman Catholic Members of Parliament generally. If the Government persevered in refusing that reparation which, it was conceived, was due to the feelings of thi. Catholic clergymen in question, it would be necessary to bring the matter under the c , nsideration of the llouNe of Columon4, and have the whole correipondence brought to light. Mr. JOHN O'CotiNELL having handed in several re mittances, gave notice that he would, on the next day of meeting, move that a financial committee be appointed whose sole business it would be to manage the monetary affairs of the Association. The Flonourable Gentleman then, at some length, urged on the Liberal constituencies of Ireland to make instant preparation fir the coming elections, which he believed to be near at hand. After the dispatch of some unimportant business, the rent f,,r the we 4.11 was announced to b;... 631.35. 3d. The meeting then adjourned. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. - - REPRESENTATION OF THE BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE. On Tuesday evening a numerous meeting of the elec tors of Marylebone took place at the Exmouth Arms Tavern, Hampstead-road, for the purpose of hearing the political sentiments of Lord Dudley Stuart. Charles E len Wagstaff, Esq., Churchwarden of St. Pancras, .:eenpied the chair. Lord DUDLEY STUART, on rising to address the meet ing was received with great applause. The Noble Lord having apulogised for his inability to attend a previous meeting on account of his domestic affliction, proceeded to announce himself a Liberal in the strict seose of the word. He had sat in Parliament during the most event ful seven years, perhaps, in the annals of this country. He was in the House of Commons during four Parlia ments, and assisted in the great struggle for the Reform BM, against Tory intimidation and Tory corruption. — (Cheers.) By the Reform Bill, the demon of corruption had been to a great extent exorcised, but he did not hold the Reform Bill as a perfect measure, or one that ought to be final ; he felt that much good had been done by it.—(Cheers.) Catholic emancipation and the aboli tion of negro slavery, were some of the results, but although this was the case, and that the Reform Bill had extended the franchise, it had done nothing to pro tea the voter.—(Hear, hear.) He (Lord Dudley Stuart) telt that therefore he was bound, in order to protect the voter, to support the vote by ballot.—(Cheers.) It was true he had voted when in Parliament against the short• ening of the duration of Parliament; but he had non seen good reas.ai for altering his opinions, and declaring himself in favour of a shorter duration of Parliaments.— (ssheers) He (Lord Dudley Stuart) had voted with Mr. T. Duncombe for a repeal of the rate paying clauses of the Reform Act, and he was for the extension of thi franchise ; but in the present state of the country h. could not give his adhesion to universal suffrage.— (Hear, hear.) The Health of Towns Bill was a must important measure, but all was not gold that glittered. and he was not prepared to support a Bill which deprived Englishmen of the privilege of local self-government.— (Cheers.) He believed that the existence of our local institutions was the mainstay of Eeglish independence. and therefore was oppa-ed to the principles of centrali zation, and the new Poor-law as a pat of that system. —(Cheers) Another most important matter was th. government scheme of education. He (Lord Dudley Stuart) gave his support to the treasure so far as it wet but he con-idered it might be extended still further for the beuetit of the country at large.—([liar, hear) was a member and supporter of the established church in this country, but at the same time he wished that no civil disabilities should exist on account of religion With respect to fore7gn policy, he (the Noble Lord) be. lieved his c9nduct with regard to Poland had shown that he was the opponent of tyranny, although at the same time he was not, as had been alleged against him, the advocate of war on that account.—(Hear, hoar.) He wi , s most desirous that they should cultivate kindly feelings with their neighbours the French people. and he was the friend of peace and justice all over the world.—(Hear, hear.) In answer to a question put, Lord Dudley Stuart said he would not, as an honest man object to the endowment of the Roman Catholic priesthood, nor would he object to do so with regard to Independents, Wesleyans, Bap tists.—(Oh, oh ! and hear, hear.) His Lordship urther said he objected to pledge himself to any measure, because he considered it unconstitutional.—(Oh, oh ! and hear, hear.) Mr. Churchwarden HOWARTH moved a resolution to the effect, a That the thanks of the meeting be given to Lord Dudley Stuart for the frank expression of his po litical opinions." Mr. HETH&RINGTON seconded the motion which was adapted, with - a few dissentients. Mr. Seargeant SHER, in answer to loud calls, came forward to address the meeting. He had not the advan tage of the Noble Lord of being rocked and dandled into a legislator. He had had through life to present his ticket at the gate; and be now came before the electors of Marylebone to cope with the Noble Lord.— (Cheers.) He (Sere cant Shee) did not apprehend, like the Noble Lord, the smallest danger from the immediate advancement to household suffrage—(Cheers)—and when instruction and education advanced he would have no fear of a greater extension still.—(Cheers.) He would vote fur the ballot whenever propo.,ed, and be would elle vote for Mr. Ward's motion with respect to the Irish church. With regard to the Catholic clergy of Ireland, he would never consent, please God, that a a single sarthing of the hard earned money of the Pro testant Dissenters and Jews of England should be taken out of their pockets to support the Catholic church of Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) After complaining that the Noble Lord, although he had done a great deal for the Poles, had done nothing for the people of England, ono that he had come to supplant him as a candidate far that borough, Mr. Sergeant Shee declared that he would carry the contest to the close, and he believed the result would be that he should be member tor Marylebone.— (Loud cheers, oh, oh ! and laughter ) A .vote of thanks was subsequently voted to the o')air. man, and the meeting separated at a late hour.

Mr. Thomas Baring, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Charles Pelham Viihers, and Mr. Milner Gibson, chairman. The Committee proceeded with the cross-examination .4' Mr. George Frederick Y,,ung. With the permission of the Chairman, Mr. Young produced a certificate from Mr. Jansen, an eminent underwriter at Lloyd's, and from the Secretary to the Marine Insurance Society, both to the effect that the statements made by him on a former occasion, with regard to the rate of insurance being equal on both ioreign and English ships, and that they would assure a Dan tzic o.k-built ship at six per cent. for the whole year, at which rate they also assured a ten years English oak-built ship. By Mr. Mitchell—He was not aware that the state ment made by Mr. Jansen had been suhmittedto th) m e o . s h t ti o ci t the leading underwriters at Ll..yd's, and that refused to put their names to it. By Mr. Ricardo—He considered that the ports of this country were used as the great emporiums for the re •option of the produce of the distant quarters of the vorld in consequence of that restriction of the Nast ration Act which pre% eut, d the importation from a n: prt in Europe for consumpti o n i n t hi s country. 1, the navigation•laws wire reptitied, and the ~f warehousing wee less in Antwerp than it, this country, the Dutch merchant. would warehoteu his importations in Antwerp and not in England. 11. had been told, upon very credible authority, that the cost of warehousing in Arvw, - rp erns much cheaper thar iR this country. The wi , ole or the German market win. , at present open to the Dutch merctiant, and if the market of England were added to that the inducement to ware house his goods at Antwerp %mid be infinitely greater to the Antwerp merchar.t. bhips were continually ar riving at Cones for a market ; and they waited there until the consignee had ascertained the best market to whet; to send her cargo. These ships, however, were chiefly laden with coffee and sugar. By Sir G,-.)rge Clark—lie was fully aware of the itn portanca:- of ene..uregiog :the system of. wareltousine goods. He was not able to say why goods were ware housed in this country for foreign consumption, not• withstanding that the expense of -warehousing we less abroad than in this country. He did not think it was owing to our insular position and the facilities of our harbours, for the chief ports for warehousing were London, Liverpool, and the 7lyde. If all foreign countries were to adopt navi amation-laws similar to our own, this country would be placed in a particular disadvantage. He did not think that would - be obviated by a system of reci procity, becanse he was of opinion that the results of re ciprocity betwe-n two countries would be tkat the raw material would be imported into the one country in th.- ihip only of that country in which it was produced. xhile the other would :‘nly have the exportaion of th, manufactured goods—a most serious inconvenience to this country, as the bulltiter articles required for manu actures would all be carried by the ships of other countries. By the Chairman—There was little or no profit at the present time on the export trade ; the import trade only was profitable. The export trade at present was open t. Oreigners, and if the import trade were also opened ti t'oreigners, he thought the result would be great depre aiation and disadvantage to the shipping of this country. By Mr. Villiers—He had already stated that the affect of freight on commerce was very much overrated ; t difference of 11. or 21. made no alteration in the price the article carried. He attached more importance o he shipping as a national interest than as the interest u ndiviilual shipowners. All the shipowners asked was. that the capital embarked by them in their trade should not be reduced, by the trade being tak -n away from them ay the unrestricted admission of foreigners into our car rying trade to such an extent as would render it im possible for them to maintain the competition. His views on this point were with regard to the present, and nom to the future race of shipowners. The cost of predue- tion might be diminished, but not to fl level with th. cost of production in the cheap competing countries. H ~ould conceive such a state of things, but he shout. .bject to the sponging away the national debt, without which they could not hope to c.,mpete on equal term, • ith the cheap nations. The Chairman—Are you in favour of the shipowner purchasing his provi,ion., in the cheapest market? Mr. Young—Certainty Ism. The Chairman— Is it an advantage to the shipowner to nurcha.e his provisions in the cheapest market? Mr. Young—lt is a great advantage. and they wer. ;lad to get what they required in the cheapest markt•t. The Chairman—Would it not be a benefit to the Bti• , lAh farmer to import his commodities in the cheapest ships? Mr. Young—He did nct think so, because the reduc don in the price of imported commodities would be re immeasurably small, that it would not reach the con. sumer. The Chairman—But might ro,t the farmer say, that the reduction in the price of provisions would be so im measurably small, that it would not reach the ship- owners ? Mr. Young—He did not think so, because corn being a bulky article, and therefore paying a high freight, the farmer had still some protection. The Chairman—But the protection being taken away from the farmer, you ere atilt prepared to maintain th; protection to the shipowner? Mr. Young—You cannot repair ono injury by inflict ing a second. Mr. Villiers—You were opposed to the protection o' the agricultural interests, for you voted for the abolition .if the sliding-scale Mr. Young—He did not think it just that the farmer ihould be deprived of all protection. He had always .)eeif in favour of a axed duty. Mr. Alderman Thompson wished to know what the ttorn-laws had to do with the navigation-laws? The Chairman—The navigation-laws have to do with !he importation of corn. Mr. Alderman Thompson moved that the room 1).- cleared. The Chairman—Stop a moment. I do not wish to inquire into the corn-laws, but I must insist on my right to put these questions, which are perfectly relevant•to the inquiry. Mr. Alderman Th ,, ropion protested against the chair man making a speech after he hal moved that the room he cleared. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. On our re-admission, By the Chairman—Witness was aware that tip farmer was exposed to unlimited competition with the continent in the articles of corn, cheese, butter, and i cattle; but, nt.twithstanding that, he would still main tain pnitection to the British shipowner. The Chairman was p.irsuing this course of inquiry when the Committee were summoned to prayers, awl they accordingly adj.iurricd until this day. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.—The bine continues to grow, although not so fast during the last few days, the nights being cold. The fly is decreasing. What few there are will mostly be tound in the runners on the ground. LITTLE CHART AND PLUCKLEY.—The bine is grow ing very fast, but much infest. d b) fly. BETHERCDEN AND SMAKDEN.—The bine in general is growing very fast, and looks promising. BIDDENDEN —Tbe bine generally is crowing well, and looks very healthy. The fly during the last few days has been rather on the increase. 13RENCHLEY...-110 bine continues to make great pro-. gress, although thickly beset with fly. CRANBROoIi.—We have a.considerable increase of fly since our last report, but it has not retarded the progress of the bine, which still continues healthy and in a flourishing state. GOUDIfURST, JUNE 6.—We are getting very full of fly; as many as fifty or sixty on a leaf in some gardens, though at present not quite general. The bine is in general good, though getting rather yellow from the cold nights we have had of late. HEATHFIELD, JUNE s.—The bine continues in a very growing state, but the unpropitious " north-easter" of the last week is bringing the fly in rapidly increasing numbers; so much so, that where from twenty to thirty only were to be found on Tuesday, from forty to fifty were counted on Thursday, since which the virulence of the wind from the same point has still further increased their number ; and its rage during the last night, must have also in exposed gardens considerably ruffled the bine, the gale still continuing with periodical and tem pestuous gusts. A warm shower of several hours' duration would now doubtless be very timely, as will for hops as f..~r the crops generally, the seedling crops especially. MAYFIELD.—The hops are very full of fly; the bine is altogether very strong and healthy, and at present seems not the least injured by the fly. PEASMAESH, JITNR 3.—The hops in the neighbour hood are growing rapidly and are of good colour ; since Saturday last fly has made its appearance and increases daily. S . ALEH URST.—The late beautiful weather has pro duced its effect on the corn and hops in this neighbour. hood to a surprisi n g degree. There is a great increase of flies on the ht . p bi ne in this an d the adjoining parishes, but the bine grows at a most rapid rate. LORD CASTLEREAGH'S "JOURNEY TO DAMASCUS" is at length publizhed, and certainly there have been few books of travels announced that have excited greater attention. Not only are the countries through which the author passed such as aro invested with the deepest interest to Christians of all denominations, as the theatre of events recorded in both the Old and New Testament, but the manner in which they fire described cannot fail in securing the attentirm of the genrral reader, paru culariy as the work conve y s a most sui mated pictttre of the East in our own day, including the stspendoua monuments of Egypt, and Nubia, the &sert ir,.eta of Arabia Pelram and their wandering inhatri• tants, the sacred localities of the Holy Lund, and the mountains and shores of Syria.

While doing so he was sud denly pounced upon by a hawk, which in this case, how ever, met a" foeman worthy of his steel."

It is my duty to recommend to that Jibe selity an institution which contemplat,s two noble ob iects : first, the immediate en:lg....een of that suffering ehich is connected with disease or accident ; and se vondly, the promotion of that knowledge betided oft eetual experience, without which all efforts at midge den must be ineff,ctual and ineut.uplete.—(Cheers.) AI •ow me to call your attention to some circumstances that may not at first sigh., appear immediately connected with this institution. We are sitting here in the very eeart and centre of one of the greatest communities that exist upon the face of the ;;lobe—tile metropolis of the greatest and most powerful empire. We see ,round us within this ' , scanty no great evidence of change. These wells existed as they now exist some hundred years . sinee ; but it i s i mpossi b le to look be yond these wa y s, and to witness Without emotions of as tonishment and admiration the changes that are taking ~lace in the constitutioe of society within this metro ;iulis. Let me take a privilege oiten taken on similar occasions, and suppose it were possible to recal SOl2lO ene who existed within this metropolis one hundred years ago, and was conversant with the state of its popu lation and the institutions that existed at that time. Be would be impressed with awe in contemplating the won derful changes that have taken place. He would see around him every evidence of increased population, in creased wealth, increased refinement, and increased civilization. I' know net what the population of this great metropolis might have been at the time of which I speak, but we have the means of estimating what teas been its probable increase from the facts to which we have access. Within 30 years, from 1800 to 1831, the population of this metropolis increased not less than 70 per cent. The number of houses increased, I believe, at tie rate of 63 per cent.; within some portions of the netropolis, I. speak more particularly of those districts that are in the environs of London, and now consti tuting great Parliamentary boroughs, the incr. ase of Rouses in that short period has not been less than 95 per cent., and the increase of the population there was not less than 105 per cent. You may judge from these 'acts what must have been the inerease . within 100 years. Then let me suppose that individual revisiting the scenes with which, so far as locality is concerned, he would have been conversant. He would see around him a teistly increased population; he would see the evidences of enormous wealth; he would see the increase of eats olishments connected wilt the promethm of art. of lite rature, and science: he would see new theatreieh i e fie w en ou ce ld ; s tr e e e o n ,o e u w ld el z b e - n h e o w use s, s v r a iv re a s ll , in n g e w p s a t l r a e c e e t s s—ev iam er a ft n hing that :•sn administer to the amusement a,,d the rational re creation of the people. But, suppose he inqured what has been the increase of your hospitals? The answer to that question would ho anything but s itisfactory. (6. Hear, hear," and cheers.) He would be told there how xists within the metropolis, which comprises a popula tattoo of not less than 1,500,000 souls, limiting myself to those districts which return Members to Parliament, theme now exist (speaking of hospitals for general Fur poses, for the reception of patients and the dispensation if medicine) only ten hospitals, and he wool t answer, with surprise and regret, that at the period he live d, 100 years ago. nut less than seven of those hosiii'als w e r e hen in existence —sevsn the most *.n.iwed with .he means of support, and the most espelile, tr m the extent of their aecotuinielwien, to give relic' in cases of disease er accident.
