He hoped he might be allowed to ascribe this ,„_ni to the caution of the Directors, as well as to the caution and the of Mr. lisle Thomson and the other medical officers of *lle Company. Mr. DE Canto stated, that the Directors had every reason . to Anticipate that the division of profits, among those holding Assur ance* at the participating rate, and to the Proprietors, on the Ist of January 1848, wOuld be of a favourable character. The declara tion of this division would of course, be made at their next Annual Meeting in July 1848. It was his painful duty to remind the General Meeting of the me 'co-oIY event, which had happened soon after their last Annual Meeting, in the mouth of August, 1846, the death of their late Re sident Director, Mr. Edward Boyd, of whom it is but justice to state, ... that I t Was to his unexampled zeal, and to the extraordinary perse -•eranoe „ Which distinguished him in the discharge of his duty to `-oropany to the last day of his life, that its present high posi " mainly owing.

His explanation of the progress cf ... 116 Company, during the last year, had been so clear and satisfactory a ddressed to have lett him, who had hitherto at:every annual meeting ,7 , aressed a few words to them, nothing to say. He could not, how ver, take his seat again without joining their worthy Chairman in 'exPressing his deep regret on account of the lamented loss they had u nstained since their last meeting , of Mr. Boyd. the founder of the one of the original Proprietors, and a Di- C re ece cto p r an frOm il its avign commencement in March, 1834, to the present day, to one had possessed better opportunities of being acquainted with Mr. Boyd's indefatigable exertions to form and establish the Corn • PanY, which could not have been surpassed, and which, without all doubt, led to its present prosperity. He was devoted to the Company and to its establishment and success to the day of his death. Many of those present must recollect his being carried to the table at the last annual meeting, although suffering under acute illness without any hopei or recovery, and taking a share in the business of the day, but a very few weeks before his decease. Fortunately for the Company, his son, Mr. Lennox Boyd, who was first, in 1838, Se cretary, and afterwards one of the Directers had been able to give his father most useful assistance during his long indisposition. The Directors, fully aware of the experience be had thus acquired, and df his intimate acquaintance with the details of the office, una nimously appointed him to succeed his father as Resident Director or Manager of the Company; and though speaking under restraint ht his presence, he was bound to add, that Mr. Lennox Boyd's assi e'n tr, and the ability which he had shown throughout, most fully Justified the appointment. These are not, Mr. Stuart said, mere 'Words of course, they are uttered by one who is for some time every day, unless when absent from London on official duty, in the office cst. the Company, and who never fails to find Mr, Lennox Boyd there at the head of the establishment, and superintending every part of ! t •He could not appeal to better ev id ence th a t th e management has not suffered from being committed to him, than is established by this Juan'ed by the books, that in the last six months, from Ist „„_ to 30th June, 1847, the amount of new assurances was 3:Z..a_tr by 51,51 3/., and the relative amount of premiums greater by than in the same period from Ist January to 30th June, 1846; the sums assured in the six month in 1846 being 145,2341., and pre -7,346/s. 4 ' 6361 ' , ant in the same six months in 1847, 196,7471. and ti o ll n, r iar t n:.: l l La a d vd d . ed i , that it was also very agreeable to him to men tion, at thefrOmene,allof q t u h a e rt e e o rs u , rt f e r s o y m those who had to transact and attention shown them, mess " the dispatch theyvmet with ; and that he was himself a daily , mul eus of the regularit and correctness with which,the office itself LS conducted and superintended.

A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the defects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Bally a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from Barlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con *inued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWL AND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. *** Beware of " Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has the words " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL " on the wrapper.

IVit- A I A G K One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and juSlice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone" dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Last year's prices were considered extremely good, but there has been a still further ad vance of from five to ten per cent. this season; and ewes and lambs have been in great demand. The fine weather with which the country is now blessed; the promise of an abundant harvest; and the favourable appearance of the tu rn ip crop, ma y be considered the immediate cause of thi s r i se . Th e value of sheep stock has also been great l y en h ance d by the quantity of meat that will be requ i re d to su pply the loss of pigs from Ireland an d parts o f S cot l an d, which used to export largely, and a l so t h e d e fi c i enc y in American pork, owing to the exportation of Indian corn.

We may expect a good trade with America, owing to the quantity of corn .and•provisions as the manufactilfers have for we have , taken from that country,_and the continued operation of the modified tariff of the States, which, in the first four months of the present year, exceeded the same period in any future year, as respects the total revenue, by about a million of dollars.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT—Chelmsford, July 13. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Emma Elizabeth Hume, 24, a pretty young woman, was indicted for feloniously attempting to administer to Thomas Hume, her husband, a large quantity of a cer tain deadly poison called sugar of lead, with intent to kill and murder him. No counsel was engaged either to prosecute or defend the prisoner, and Mr. Bosanquet was requested by the Court to examine the witnesses from the depositions. It appeared from the evidence of the woman's hus band, who was considerably older than herself, and who nad the appearance of a sickly, ailing man, that he was a widower at the time he married the prisoner, and had some grown up children. For some time prior to the month of April he had been suffering from a liver com plaint, and a man . named Merchant, who lived in the same village with the prosecutor and his wife, and who, it appeared, had the reputation of being able to cure the disorder in question, had been prescribing for him, and had made up for him some boxes of pills. On the 7th of April the prisoner was obserred by her daughter-in law to be mixing up some flour and water to a thick paste, and she then moulded it into the form of two large pills, which she placed upon the oven to dry, and when they were dried she put them into a box which contained some of the pills that had been sent by Merchant. At this time her husband was bedridden, and it appeared that she went to him and told him it was time for him to take his medicine; and she then produced the two large pills, and wished him to take them. From circumstances that had pre. viously occurred, he had some suspicion of her inten tions, and, after observing that the pills were too large and too strong for him, he refused to take them. The prisoner pressed him to do so, and told him that " Tom` Warner" had said that they were just the things for his complaint; but he persisted in his refusal, and the pri soner at length put the pills back Cato the box with the others. The next day she again pressed him to take the large pills, but he refused; and it appeared that after that they were handed over to the police. The prose cutor also stated that a short time before this happened the prisoner had brought him some fried potatoes, but the moment he had put a portion of them into his mouth ho discovered such a nauseous taste that he was obliged atosa she pitouhtrewuhgahtt him some hehadta broth, which uponken;and h anotheradthe same ocemae ie taste, and he refused to drink it. Tom Warner, it appeared, was a labourer in the village of Tollesbury, where the prosecutor and his wife resided. At the conclusion of the examination of the prosecutor the prisoner asked him why he had put her into the workhouse when he was well able to keep her?—The prosecitor said he had not done so. The prisoner then asked whether he bad not said that he would leave her at Chelmsford, if he took a false oath to do it. He denied ever having made use of such an expression. Prisoner—Did I not say to you that I would not do what they wanted me—to poison you? Prosecutor—l never heard you say so. Sarah Elizabeth Hume, the prosecutor's daughter, proved that she saw her mother mix up the large pills, and place them with the smalt ones in the box, and she afterwards saw her offer the same pills to her father, and press him to take them, upon two occasions. She also stated that upon the occasion when her mother made the mutton broth, she first put some white powder into a basin, and mixed it up, and then poured the broth into it and back into the saucepan, several times. Her fa ther refused to drink the broth, and when it was brought down the prisoner told her to throw it away, and at the same time directed her to wash the basin and saucepan quite clean. She said that after her father refused to take the pills they were placed in the box upon a ledge, and she afterwards saw the same pills handed to Fox, the constable. Mr. Baron P&RRE told the prisoner she was at liberty to ask the witness any questions she pleased. The prisoner said it was not true that she asked her to wash the saucepan, she did it herself. Fox the constable who took the prisoner into custody, said th at upon his showing her the large pills she at first denied all knowledge of them, but she afterwards admitted that she had attempted to administer them to her husband,,but the said she did not intend to poison him. It was then given in evidence that the two large pills referred to, upon their being analyzed, were found to contain 26 grains and a half of sugar of lead ; and that in the state of health of the prosecutor that quantity would certainly have caused his death if he had taken it. The prisoner, in her defence, merely denied the charge. _ Mi. Baron PARSE having summed up, the jury, after deliberating for a few minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE, addressing the prisoner, said she had been convicted upon the clearest testimony of the diabolical crime of attempting to take away the life of her husband by poison; and there was toil much reason to fear that she would have succeeded in her attempt if her previous conduct had not excited suspicion in the breast of her husband as to her intentions towards him. He felt it to be his duty, therefore, to pass upon her the most severe sentence fixed by the law for this offence ; and he at the same time observed, that he knew of no other crime so dreadful that was not visited with the punishment of death. Ho then ordered the prisoner to be transported for the term of her natural life. The prisoner heard the address of the Learned Judge with apparent indifference, and the moment the sentence was pronounced sprang to the side of the dock, where her husband was standing, evidently with the intention of inflicting any injury that might be in her power upon him. She was immediately seized by two or three turn keys, with whom she struggled with the most desperate determination. Finding herself overpowered, she leaned towards her husband as far as she could, and grinned at him, and, with a most savage expression of countenance, muttered imprecations upon him; the poor old man was trembling in every limb, and apparently almost dead from fright. The prisoner was at length carried out of court by the turnkeys. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Oxford, July 13. CROWN COURT.—(Beforo Mr. Justice ERLE and Common Juries.) FEATHERSTONEHAUGH AND PUTTER-ILL /7. SHERWOOD AND CO. Mr. Whateley and Mr. Selfe appeared for the plain tiffs; Mr. Keating and Mr. Pigott for the defendants. The defendants were contractors for making the new line of railway from Oxford to Rugby; and the plaintiffs were employed by them to fence and otherwise prepare several miles of that line; and the action was brought to recover a balance of 1131. due for the work so done. The defence was a set-off to a greater amount, and after a trial of four hours the set-off was established to the satisfaction of the jury, who, without hesitation, re turned a verdict for the defendants. FEATHERSTONEHAUGII AND PUTTERILL V. CLARIDGE. The same counsel agai❑ appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Keating and Mr. Dowdeswell for the defendant. This was an action of slander for saying of the plaintiffs that they had forged the name of a Mr. Purnell for 901. The defendant pleaded only " Not guilty." At the opening of the case the plaintiff's counsel ex pressed a readiness to take a verdict for nominal damages if the defendant would apologise. Mr. KEATING said that the defendant meant to impute forgery to the 'plaintiffs, and was ready to make any apology they might desire, ,if a juror was withdrawn, and the cause so terminated, each party paying his own costs. This answer not being satisfactory, a witness was called, out of whom nothing could be extracted, and then a second, who, however, proved that the words supposed to have been used referred only to Mr. Featherstonehaugh. At the suggestion of the Court, Mr. Beating's offer was acceded to, and the jury discharged. This was the fourth and last case in this Court, and was over at half-past one o'clock. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 12. The assizes at this place commenced to-day, the com mission having been opened on Saturday by ➢ir. Justice Wightman. The other Learned Judge, Sir Frederick Pollock, did not arrive until last evening. The cause lists, which arc not yet published, are ex pected to be very light. There are 110 prisoners named in the calendar, 4 of whom are charged with murder, 2 murder and robbery, 3 rape, 1 attempting to shoot, 3 manslaughter, 17 burglary, 3 housebreaking, 9 cutting, wounding, or stabbing, 5 forgery, 7 uttering forged documents, 18 robbery with violence, 6 horse-stealing, 3 arson, 1 housebreaking and rape, and 5 concealment of birth. Three of the persons named are for offences com mitted within the city. The authorities of the city have expressed a desire that these latter may be tried at the Guildhall, instead of in the county, at the Castle, as is usual, and the Lord Chief Baron, upon application male to the Court this morning, intimated that he should com ply with the wish. The Learned Judges began the business of the assizes at noon to-day, the Lord Chief Baron presiding at Nisi Prius, and Mr. Justice Wightman in the Crown Court. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) GILL V. LUND. The plaintiff, Mr. Richard Gill, and the defendant, Mr. William Lund, are both farmers, residing in the neigh bourhood of Sheriff Hutton, near York, and this action was brought to recover the sum of 451., for loss which the plaintiff alleged he had sustained in consequence of the defendant's dog having worried a number of his sheep. Mr. Martin and Mr. Cowling appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Baines and Mr. Bliss for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that on the 19th of April last, at about five o'clock in the morning, a black and white dog, shown to be that of the defendant, was seen along with another, a red dog, chasing the sheep in question in a, field. It was not proved to whom the other dog belonged, though it was supposed to be the property of a person in the same neighbourhood. The flock consisted of small Cheviot ewes, with young lambs. Several of the ewes as well as of the lambs were destroyed by these dogs, and some of them were drowned. having been driven into a pool of water; others were very seriously injured. The de fendant's dog, which had usually been tied u p of nights, was seen at the defendant's house later in th e same day, lying under a table, iu a " drabbled" state, and lit/. PRICE SD. Lund, when spoken to the same morning about th.s matter, said that it was a bad job, that the dog had not been tied up that night; that the occurrence, however, could not then be helped, but he was willing to pay for any damage that might have been done by his own dog. A difference subsequently arose as to how much the de fendant ought to bear of the loss; and as there had been two dogs engaged in the attack on the sheep, he con sidered that he should not be called on to pay more than one-half of the damage sustained. Arbitrators were appointed by the parties, and the arbitrators chosen ap pointed an umpire; but the latter, on the question being left to him, considered the point to be one of difficulty, owing to the circumstance of there be' another dog besides that of th e d e f en d ant, and the f . in proof not showing what portion of the mischief had been actually done by the defendant's dog. He thought it more pro perly a question to be determined by a lawyer. There appeared to be no doubt that Mr. Lund had admitted his liabilities to some extent, and the plain tiff's witnesses stated that 451. would be a reasonable estimate of the amount of damage done to the flock. One of the defendant's witnesses, however, stated that about 381. would cover the whole loss, and Mr. Richard theGa u tle t y m , o t s t umpire, said that 301. would be enough, at Somo discussion took place respecting the defendant's liability upon that point on which the umpire was is doubt; but Mr. Martin contended, that while the several owners of the two dogs could not, in such a case, have been sued jointly, either of them might be made answer able for the whole damage produced by the two dogs worrying the flock at the same time, although it might not appear precisely in how far both dogs had partici pated in every item of the mischief done. It was proved, for the defendant, that the sheep of the neighbourhood had been several times worried upon other occasions, shortly before the 19th of April, and since that day. Defendant's dog was 'hanged on the. night of the 19th. His LORDSHIP concurred in the view taken by Mr. Martin, telling the jury that they must b e satisfied— first, that the defeadant' s dog was one of those engaged in doing the mischief; secondly, that the defendant was aware of the dog's being given to worry sheep; and, thirdly, that, having such knowledge, he, the defendant, had neglected such precaution in confining the d og , as would be needful to restr a i n him from committing inju ries of this kind. It had been shown by one of the wit nesses that defendant was once present when the dog had chased some sheep, and seized one of them. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 401. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Winchester, July 13. This cirouit commenced yesterday. Mr. Justice Williams arrived in this city, and having opened the commission, proceeded to the cathedral and attended Divine service. There are upwards of forty prisoners for trial; and from the appearance of the calendar the offences with which the parties are charged would seem to be of a very ser i ous c h aracter, several- persons having been committed for cutting and wounding. The cause list has in it sixteen cases, three of which are to beltried by special juries. Chief Justice Wilde, accompanied by his lady, arrived yesterday evening. This morning the business of the assizes commenced, Chief Justice Wilde sitting at Nisi Prius at tea o'clock, and Mr. Justice Williams opening the Crown Court at eleven o'clock. William Boyd was indicted for having, on the sth of March, maliciously cut and wounded Thomas Meatyard, at Alverstoke, with intent to murder him. Other counts varied the intent. Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Collier were counsel for the prosecution. .. _ . - From the evidence' it appeared that Meatyard was chief mate of the York hulk, lying in Portsmouth har bour. The prisoner was confined on board the hulk as a convict, under sentence of transportation. About five o'clock on the morning of the sth of March the prisoner came on the spar-deck with his hammock. Meatyard was walking on the deck. The prisoner threw his ham mock carelessly off his shoulder. Meatyard requested him to move the hammock further back, as some ene would fall over it. The prisoner hesitated, muttered something, and then moved the hammock as he had been desired. In about ten minutes afterwards Meatyard received a violent blow on the head whick knocked him down. He endeavoured to get up, and while doing so he received another blow on the temple, which again felled him to the ground. He then saw the prisoner brandishing a weapon in his hand. Meatyard called for assistance, and one of the guards ran towards the pri soner, who threw the weapon at him. He was then secured. Meatyard's head was very much injured. Ho was confined to his bed for some time, and he had not yet recovered. The weapon was prduced. It was a short stick, with something tied round the end of it with a cloth, which weighed more than a pound. Upon this cloth being undone, it turned out that a chain was bound round the stick, which enclosed a large iron nail, forming a most dangerous instrument. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, with intent to do grievous hodjly harm. Sentence deferred. NISI PRIUS COURT. Chief Justice Wilde has been engaged the whole of the day in trying a case in which the question has been, whether certain railway surveys were properly done, and whether the sum charged was excessive. INVERNESS WOOL FAIR. (From the Inverness Courier.) On Friday about one hundred and twenty dined in the large hall of the Caledonian Hotel. James Matheson, Esq., of Achany, presided ' • and on his right and l e ft were Mr. Gunn, Rhives ; Mr. Sinclair, of Forss ; Mr. John Mackenzie, banker, &c. Alexarder Matheson, Esq., of Ardross, was also present. As usual, the ordi nary was attended by all the principal buyers and sellers who attended the market. After a good dinner, and the cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the first toast, said, it had fallen to his lot, very unexpectedly, to have the honour to propose the toasts of the evening. There was nothing for which he was more unprepared; because, as they were all aware, dinner had commenced before he was honoured with the request. There was no chairman; and, as it was not in the nature of a highlander to shrink in the hour of need, he had accepted the honour; and he craved the indulgence of the meeting, and their generosity in over looking his deficiencies.—(Applause.) The first toast was " the Queen"—the most fortunate woman in the world—as a woman, a wife, and a mother; and as a Queen, in presiding over the freest an d mos t p ower f u l nation in the world. To Highlandmen, for the two visits she had made to their country, she was especially dear; and now they were fora third time to be so highly honoured.—(Much applause.) The CHAIRMAN then successively gave the " Queen Dowager" —who is about to leave the country for a warmer climate; " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Duke of Rothesay, and the other members of the Royal Family ;" " The Army and Navy ; ' and " The Duke of Wellington." The CHAIRMAN said,—They had now arrived at the toasts more nearly connected with the business of the meeting—toasts in which they were more personally interested, although he felt persuaded they would not be received more cordially. They could never appreciate too highly the benefits arising to the country, and to individuals, from strangers coming among them to purchase the commodities which were brought to the market. He was sure all would join heartily with him, when he proposed " Mr. Lockwood and the Wool-buyers." They were distinguished for liberality in their dealings, and they were desirous of promoting the improvement of the growth of wool in this country. He remembered when the produce of wool in this country was much smaller than it is now; and they were indebted to the enterprise and public spirit of gentlemen from the south for the increase of quantity, and the comparative perfection now arrived at in the production of wool of superior quality. It was only by encouraging the resort of those gentlemen among them that they could hope for still farther improve moot of thin brorirl, of , Erpiooltnro, an important in this country.—(Applause.) Mr. REED, Gordoubush, returned thanks for Mr. Lockwood, who had just gone out. Mr. JOHN MACKENZIE, banker, said—lt was due to the respectability of the market that the landed pro prietors of the north should attend it, not merely as taking an interest in it ; but that they should come to welcome the gentlemen who came from the south t t o h a t a r n . d M i a t t . h e s I o u t o w f a A s c fortunate for t te thisnded bad attended done bad he been : mar ket.

Mr. PATERSON, Skinnet, saki', the commission agents Butter was high, and when a large quantSty was to be got procure us smearing materials; and bring us a good deal a great price. For two or three years past h e had used half butter and half grease, and his • ' wool was as . weighty, and his sheep as good as ever. If they were to pay 50s. or 525. for their b u tt er , h e would advise his s h ay farmers to try the mixture he recommended. There* was a secret, perhaps, .in its success. The manufaetu.*era may have led us on to the ice; but be had no doubt it would be good enough for this year at least. Others may have tried it, and can report what they have expe— rienced. Butter, entire, however, he thought the best: thing yet. Mr. MACCASKILL, Skye, said it was due to Mr. Taylor to state that he had used three tons of his salve, and-his - wool was of 418 good colourteAratity and as weighty as before. • The CHAIRMAN proposed the "Breeders of Sheep, coupled with the name of Mr. Reed, Gordonbush," whe was one of the first to commence sheep-farming in the north, and from the well merited success which had at tended his efforts, no one could be more fitly held up as an encouragement.—(Applause.) Mr. REED returned thanks. It was now more thta fifty years since he commenced sheep-farming in the north, and he had noticed a continued advance ever since. The CHAIRMAN called for a special bumper. Ile saw that the numbers were thinning, and before any more left, he would propose a toast, in doing which he would have very great pleasure. The Duke of Sutherland was the largest proprietor of land in the north ; and as a man he possessed all the virtues that adorn our nature. He was well known and loved for his amiable qualities, the generosity of his nature, and his solicitude for the promotion of the prosperity of his tenantry, as well as the country generally. He felt that he had no need to enlarge upon his Grace's character; and he would at once request them to pledge " The Duke of Suther land, the noble head of the landed proprietors of the north."—(Great cheering.) The room now rapidly thinned; and after a few more toasts, the Chairman vacated his seat. Ordinaries also took place in the New Royal Hotel (Mrs. Macdonald's), and in the Commercial Hotel (Mrs. Napier's). The attendance was large and respectable; and, as usual, the viands were first-rate. On Saturday, Mr. Horne, of Langwell, presided at the ordinary. The attendance was not numerous, many of the dealers having left town; but the meeting was rendered interesting by the open sale of wool at the table, and conversation on rural subjects. THE COUNTRY PARTY. (From the Nottingham Mercury.) We hear nothing from the " Country Party" abou " protection to native industry," in reference to the overwhelming load of local taxation which presses upon the inhabitants of this town and the adjacent manufac turing villages, in consequence of the awful depression of the home trade of the country, arising from the ex traordinary high price of provisions, by which they alone aro benefited. Oh no! not a word of it! " Protection to native industry" does not, it would appear, compre hend these objects. The small parish of St. Nicholas, in this town, con taining 1,160 houses, principally occupied by working people and small tradesmen, and without any land attached to it, we have shown in a preceding article. paid, on an average of two years there given, 2,600/. per annum to the rates legally levied for the re lief of the poor ; whilst ten parishes in the county of Nottingham, containing together 22,00(1 acres of land, and 013 houses, owned and inhabited by noblemen, gentlemen, beneficed clergymen, and capital agricultu rists and their dependents, paid to the same fund, on an average of several years, no more than 1,0681. a year, Why is not the cry of "Protection to native industry" raised here ? Can the Country Party in Nottingham shire be really honest in their professions, whilst they allow such an anomalous state of things as this to exist among the natives of the district of which they, too, are natives and denizens, and not exert themselves to abate the evil ? Two thousand six hundred pounds a year! legally wrung from the hard hand of industry, in one small parish in the county town, to be devoted to the relief of the aged and necessitous poor; whilst only little more than one thousand pounds was demanded from ten large parishes in the county for the same pur pose; - and yet no clamour is raised by the Country Party in Nottinghamshire for " protection to native industry." That such a feeling would be perfectly legitimate and proper on their part, and ought to be excited and encouraged in the bosoms of all honest men among us, must, wo think, be unhesitatingly acknowledged: unless it can be clearly shown that the lace and stocking makers, and their employers, in the parish of St. Nicholas, have some peculiar stake in the property of the country; and have, during the last half century, derived some extraordinary advan mtaagnensffmarcotuteths,e which the o p f rn t p r r a i d e e tar a y nd of e t o h m e m la e n re d e s: and woods, and quarries, and mines of the county, have not. But can this be shown to be the case ? We challenge the proof ! Yet the occupiers of the 1,160 houses in the parish of Saint Nicholas, poor as thou sands of the population are, paid 150 per cent. more poor -rate during the period in question, than did the occupiers of the 943 houses in the parishes referred to, wealthy though many of them are, with their 22,000 acres of land added to them. Surely protection for native industry is wanted here if anywhere ! But the case of virtual exemption from the burden of poor rate by the management of the proprietors of some of the parishes which we have instanced, does not com prehend the whole of the legal iniquity of our paro chial system, nor exhibit in its greatest deformity that robbery which is perpetrated upon the property of the industrial classes, through the medium of local taxation for the relief and maintenance of the poor. It is not sufficient that the proprietary of an extensive rural district may combine together to constitute their estates one huge game preserve, before which the fruits of the husbandman's toil disappear, and the subsistence of the community is withered as by a perennial blight—neither is it sufficient for the legal aggrandise ment of wealth among that class that they have power to eject the labouring population from among thew, and compel them with their families to add to the stock of native destitution in large towns and open villages, but the law actually grants an immunity of exemption under the titl e o f " extra - paroc hi a l , " to certa i n va luable properties i n every di str i ct o f t h e coun t r y, from any liability to be called upon by the fiscal officer to contri bute to the s u pp or t or re li e f o f the aged, the infirm, or destitute of the locality. in f o every e extensive district, whose average Thus, whilst hundreds of poor work ing total income maintenance of their families , doe s not exceed ten or twelve are subjected to an oppressive taxation for the relief men of the destitute and shillings a week each, infirm; and have the maintenanance of the aged and little homes broken up, and not nufrequently their them to overt the bed sold underfromocna____discharge the legal demana of tne par v!llLnonta tnepro claims that the Duke of Portland, for the splendid estate of Welbeck, and the adjoining property of Woodhouse hall, comprising together two thousand six hundred acres of land, with five farming establishments, h 11 sy s a not be compulsorily liable to the extent of a single farthing for this social object. The dwellings of a hundred industrious stocking makers in the manufacturing villages ham are not wo r th so much by a round Notting great deal as th e stables and d og -k ennels, and a other appendages there with connected, at NV lb e eck Abbey. Yet these poor men, out of their scanty for the • earnings, besides pro v idi ng maintenance of their own families, shall be compelled, by the power of the law, to contribute an aggregate sum of forty to fifty pounds a year to a fund for the support of the aged, and infirm, and destitute among the labouring population around them. Yes, even the desolate widow of fifty-five or sixty years of age, who earns a scanty morsel of food and a homely garment for herself by severe drudgers'. early and late, we ourselves have known to be . com pelled to p a y p oor - rates f or a cottage a warrant belongingto re the Duke of P or tl an d hi mse lf, u nder threat of payment of distress being p u t into her house to enforce of the same. Yet his Grace, the e a cres of land, with owner of a fin© estate comprising two thousand six hundred of the county, mag nificent gardens, hunting es tablishment, a noble mansion, one of the glories ta.blishment, keepers, houses, and farmsteads of the most valuable character, is not re quired to pay poor - ra te, even on the most minimum scal e . The industrious poor man may have the comf or t s o f his family curtailed to answer the demands o f t h e widow and the parochial fiscal,—theorphan may have their scant morsel diminished in order that a sufficient sum may be raised to pay the salaries of parochial or union o fficials, or that a morsel may b e prov i ded for fel low beings even still mere wretched than themselves, — but the wealthy Peer may remain scathless amidst all this scorching blight of local taxation. Verily, "protection to native industry" is needed and we commend cases like this to the immediate con sideration of the Country Party, whose energies we shall be delighted to see directed to the abatement of so crying an evil.
