With a marvellous impudence they assert that their will, their self-seeking,their infirmities,and contradictions, are to be the rules and guides of other men, who arc to have no will of their own. From the gene ral ban of sin which they pronounce against the human race, they exempt themselves, and claim au thority from - , , ossessing a purity which they deny to all besides. 111 thl Je primitive condition of society, such as it 11 4 4 ' exists in New Zealand, or existed in North la "lea, at , the time of its discovery, when the w and 9f "lost every man, from the necessity each hip s I:alder nearly unaided to provide entirely for trib - e s i l ; f ) was aoainst every other, and when every tiii t ,, v , e d ill a condition of almost incessant hos pri w ith every other, it might with some pro witsetY he said that society was without union, and vari e e a he ap of sand.

They have no part in it. They neither buy nor sell. They produce nothing which men desire, and satisfy no wants of the body and no cravings of the heart. They are not mambas of that great industrial league which is gradually knitting together the whole family of mankind, and, by lessening the influence of artificial and political distinctions, contributes to weaken the authority and the utility of the Church and the State. If by society we are to understand political authority—and it is very natural that those who are nothing, but as they possess political authority, should seek to confound the two—we must admit that society is dissolving, and union nearly at end. In spite of the strenuous efforts of the priesthood and their allies, society is escaping from their con trol, and is growing great and powerful beyond their reach. The Post and the author it admires weep and rave in vain. Society as it advances is squeezing the priesthood out from its ranks, as a hotly which is no longer wanted, and hence the desire to stop its growth, and raze our towns. The Times, Herald, and Co., have not for some days been eloquent about the non-employ. meut of ship-keepers, and the miserable economy of saving a few shillings a-week, which wrapt a dock-yard in flames. We cannot suppose that the result of the trial at Sheerness will make the learned and scientific correspondent of the Times again take up his pen on the subject, for it is difficult to see how ship keepers could have been of any use in giving notice of a fire which must have broken out before they, according to custom, went on board. Neither will he, nor will the Herald, we presume, undertake to inform the public how two ship-keepers, supposing there had been two on board the Tala vera, could have discovered the fire in the bin on shore, which escaped the notice of the sentinels and policemen on duty in the dock-yard. It was a mercy, we think, that there were not two keepers on board the Talavera, if the story of the fire originating in a bin be correct, for the chances are, that then the loss of life would have been added to the loss of property. But we will not _ further dwell on a little partisan folly in our Contemporaries, of which, we believe, they are by this time heartily ashamed. They know that all their remarks about economy and two ship-keepers were made in the most profognd igno rance of the matter they were writing about.

His Excellency, after receiving the Commission with civility, wished to enter into some explanations which could not fail to be interesting to the community.

In the case at present before us, the owner of the shim' (a drab woollen one with red flowers) would, I have not the least doubt, be found out if such places as I have alluded to were established." The Coroner acquiesced, and said he thought four or five places of the kind, in the most public th oroug hfares, would be sufficient. The Earl of Essex was unable to attend the "elt!

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.) lIAWKSWORTII V. BRA MMALI, -JUDGMENT. , . The Lotto CHANCELLOR gave iudginent this inorilin : ;• this appeal, which came before the Cent i,revious to ii►e long vacation. The case came before his Lordship u;A:i appeal from the judgment of his Honour the Vice-Chan cellor, decreeing the dissolution of a partnership carried on between the plaintiff and defendant, and directing the partnership accounts to be taken upon the footing of an award. The defendant app•aled from this decision, upon two grounds, insisting, in the first place, that the Court had no jurisdiction, on account of the award not being made a rule of the Queen's Bench within the prescribed time ; and, secondly, that the Court. could not interfere, because the arbitrators had not taken an account of the stock and profits of the partnership. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that the objections taken by the appellant were not sustainable ; that he had failed in impeaching the decree of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, and the appeal, therc fore, must be dismissed, with costs. EASAM V. APPLEFORO—JUDGMENT. HIS LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, which likewise came before the Court upon appeal from the decision -of the Vice-Chancellor. The only question in the case was, wheiher the sum of 2,7G01. was appcktted by the will of Mary Ann Easam, or constituted part of the residue of the es:ate of Matthew. - Easam. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor de creed that the amount in question was not appointed by the will of Mrs. Easam ; and from that de&sion the appJlant rouf!ht t'As appeal. The Lord Chancellor b,ing clearly of opidon that the decree below was correct, ordered itr, aili , mation, and dismissed the appeal with costs. The Court, alter disposing of several appeal n ()lion; totally devoid of interest, proceeded with the hearing of lunatic petition 4. The petition in the matter of Coates's patent was delayed till Thursday. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF CHELTENHAM. Mr. D. POLLOCK moved for a lute to show cause why a writ of mandamus . should not issue, directed to the de fendants, and commanding them to hold a meeting, and make a rate. [t appeared that early in the present year the defendants had made a rate of 9d. in the pound, which stool for hearing before the Court of Queen's Bench, cn a writ of certiorari. The Commissioners accordingly gave notice that a valid rate having been questioned, they would not make another rate until the Court had deter_ mined upon the validity of the former rate. Six years ago the Commissioners had entered into a contract with the Company to light the town of Cheltenham, by which the Company were bound t , .) light the town, and the defendants to make quarterly payments. In the month of August last, a sum of 1,e3001. being due to the Company, they gave notice that unless a rate was made, they would dis continue lighting the town, and a number of the most re spectable and influential inhabitants addressed a requisition to the Commissioners, to hold a meeting and make a rate, but they returned an answer similar to that already stated. The inhabitants were consequently driven to that Court to compel the Commissioners to make a rate. Lord DENMAN—I think you have stated enough to entitle you to the rule.—Rule granted. grouted that the verdict was returned in m i sappre h ens i on of t the Judge's directimq ; the Lord Chief Justice 11 , :ving said that the action r. ,s very prc:;crly brought--that the conduct of the dcf2i.ilant I.li:warrantable, sod the slander of a very aggravat,:d nature ; but that it tv..s only the object. of the plait:diff to vindicate his chat-cacti-6 and therefore they shcu!d cive such damages as ought appear The „Lay being or od i n i on that he sustained a lea'°""ble c"raii , snati:4l for tbe ' injur y he had sus:aifi.:.l. no Injury, tee not having been believed by any one, gave so scriFl a sum, itt ignorance o f t h e law, which in that case left the plaintiff to pay his own costs. The Lotto CIIIEF JUSTICE thought it must appear rather a hard case for Mr. i%leers to be saddled with the costs ; but the Jury were clearly of opinian that no one believed the slander propagated by Griffith, or that the plaintiff swindled the emigrants, i n whose affairs he was employed under the Commissionersof Ernigrztion. Indeed it was proved that he h a d b e h aved with integrity and great kind ness. But the Jury had rirht to take the question of costs into their consideration, 'hey had no right to give the plaintiff higher damages than they thought him justly entitled to solely for the purpose of carrying his costs, contrary to tho intention of the law.—Rule refused. LANE U. BURGHART. The defendant had u-veli to the plaintiff an undertaking in writing to securethe payment %I ' 761., the amount of a debt, for which Lane at the time had caused General Bacon to be taken in execution ; the condition of the undertaking being, that the plaintiff should thereupon re lease the General from custody. But contemporaneously with the release of the General, Lane insisted on and obt,ined from him a warrant of attorney for the amount, payable by instalments. These not having been fully paid, the action was brought upon the defendant's undertaking, and the verdict was for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL now moved for a rule to ent, r a nonsuit on the ground that the defendant's undertaking was released by the fact that the discharge of Bacon did not take place upon it, but upon the General's own fresh secu rity in the form of a warrant of attorney.—Rule granted. NEWTON V. HARDY. Mr. CIIANNELL applied for a rut.. nisi for an attachment against Anne Pizer for contempt, Mrs. Pizer having been subveenaed to attend the trial of this case at York, and hay. irig been conveyed at the expenec of the plaintiff from Ripon to York, and maintained in the latter city for some days, refused on the day of the t r i a l t o go into Court un less she rec e i ve d b e f o re hand the sum of 91. The plain tiff not choosing to give this sum, lost the advantage of her evidence, which was stated in the affidavits to be ma terial. The COURT held that Mrs. Pifer was entitled to make .1 demand for her expenses hack to Ripon, alai as it did not appear in the tftidavits that a.reasonatile sum_scas of fored, or indeed that any tender: was made to Ler by the plaintiff, the attachment must he refused. The Court rose at half-past one o'clock. XCHEQUER COURT-THES DAY. The Curt was occupied the whole of this morning with e Peremptory paper, in which there was no case of public Ito est. The rules in Slade v. BarthOlornew, J,fferson v. War lington, oxd Thomas v. Puntan were discharged. No Couiisel appearing for the defendant in Irwin v. Lord Balcarras, the rule was made absolute. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET. There was only a limited business transacted in produce privately, and the public sales were of little moment ; but prices were firm for all articles. The i►nports were large. TEA MARKET. Prices were firmer, and the market assumed a more ani mated appearance with a slight advarce in some instances. The specuMive price ~ of Company's Congou was 2s. .31d. per lb. The stock is now very large, but it is the epinit n of the best-informed persons that it will be reduced to a very low ebb before the trade with China is resumed. TALLOW MARKET. The demand was limited for P.l. Candle. Both * on the ;pot and for arrival prices on-the decline. WHITECHAPEL HAY MARKET. A fair quantity of Hay was pitched, and the trade was moderately brisk. Clover 41 to 51. 123. ; Meadow Hay 3/. to 4/. 103. ; Straw 30s to 323. per load. LLOYD'S SHIPPING 7 (TIIIS DAY.)

THE WEALTH BREwER.—This day (Nov. 3) is the anniiersary of the death of Wm,. Mucks, E, - (1, an oppulent brewer of London, who was for many years M. I'. for Abingdon an d Wallingford. A ccording to Mr. Noble, he was the person noticed ( wh en r i ding a beautiful hunter) by Louis the Fdteenti I. That King having asked who he was, a courtier replied that h e w as ~ Un Chevalier do Malt." Th e subject of this witticism was brewer to the household of George 1., and is reported to have been very loyal. As a proof of his respect for his S;)‘ ercign, he erected the statue of that 111,m arc h upon Blo3rnshury steeple, which gave nse . to . rhyu h:s by a „.„ g .. , to the cff..et that the brewer had made the King " head of the steeple," in addition to his former title of head of the Church. Mr. Hucks died in 1740. CAP IiAL-4 a. A. REYNOLDS. MEETING-(H - HS DAY.) A public meeting of the Friexi.s o Captain Rey nolds took place this day, at the British Coff e e-h ouse. Coe:spur-street. 'At one o'clock, the hour appointed I.)r the covolnencein:mt of the proe2edings, there was a huge assetu'rhge 01 rcspeetahle pt;L;cris present, and in the course of the day the room was dtnsely crowded io every part. ::311ortly aftcr one o'clock, Mr. itomNsoN cape forward and said he had been rcciaested by the Committee to state thet the present was a meeting perfectly independent of Captain Rey nolds—(Cheers)—and got up on public principle alone. ---( Hear, and cheers.) Tike Committee had thought it hest that no gentleman should be appointed by them to take the Chair, but that the gentlemen assem bled in the room to promote the cause of justice, ticket their own chairman. II dare was any %.ilitury Alexr present who took an interest ;n the eause of justice and the nation, he would confer a great favour on the aisemtiod gentlemen if he would allow himself co he appointed to that position. Mr. HINE was glad the public had at length an op portunity of meeting on the broad principles of British jastice, and that the Committee had left the question open for discussion, whoever was the sufferer, or whoever ;night be the p!rpetrator of oppression.—(Cheers.) In his opinion no military nun should be asked to take the chair. " a civilian ought to Several ; persons exclaimed, preside." Mr. HINE said they were all well aware that the weakest would go to the wall, and if Lord Hid were present he should like to put him in the chair— (Cheers) —but any man below his rank should not be present.—(Cries of " He would be a marked man.") Mr. DuNnEv. then proposed, and several gentlemen seconded the motion, that Mr. Hine do take the Chair. Mr. HINE, having taken the Chair, said he felt him self not a little surprised at being placed in such a situa• Lion ; he was sure .it was a station to which he had no claim, and one for which he was in some measure unfit. So far, however, as a feeling of rendering justice to every Englishman was concerned, he yielded to no man. —( Loud cheers.) Ho thought the gentleman who had caded the meeting had done themselves great honour in striking the key cote of a music which, he hoped, would be played liom Dover to John o'Groat's house. —(Renewed cheering.) He was surprised that the composition had-bona so long in the hands of the com poser, but it was betteriate than never. The question :nvotvect - prinripi r .-41.101h were inimical to the feelings of all Englishmen, and he thought no man but the eeriest slave could submit to it.—(Much cheering.) Were they to suppose - that when a gentleman entered the army he was to forego all the feelings of liberty, in dependence, and justice which were instilled into them by their fathers? Were they to submit to be the slaves of every sprig of aristocracy ?—(Cheers and groans.) They must inquire into these thingi—the weak must be protected from the - strong, whenever any symptom of injustice or oppression showed itself. lie believed there were not two opinions among the public or the Press on the subjeCt—there were not two persons who did not fnl the injustice of the doctrines promulgated by the Horse Guards, and he was sorry to say sanc tioned by her Majesty, that no justification would be received in evidence by a military court-martial. It was inculcated with their mother's milk that there was one person in the realm who could do no wrong, but he hoped hey would never see the day when every little petty com manding officer of a regiment should have a similar exensp ion. If such a principle was to he extended it would go to he destruction of the country, because although they ,night deprecate the nature of a standing army—al though they might detest war—yet while such things acre afloat, something like justice should be preserved. —(Cheers.) Were young officers, full of military ar dour, to place themselves under commanding officers who were to insult them with impunity ?—(Cheers.) Was it to be supposed that men of honourable feelings were to be subject to such things? If they were, he would venture to say that the army would soon be filled by a parcel of lickspittles , 4Checrs.) iie ought not to de tain them on the present occasion, but he could not sit down and let the other orators who would address the meeting have it all to themselves.—(Laughter.) He thanked the meeting for haying placed him in the ho nourable situation he then was, and when he began to disgrace it he trusted they would send to the Horse Guards, and they would soon put him down.—(Cncers.) Mr. ROBINSON, of. Cro3dA, proposed the first reso lution. He was sorry that duty had not fallen into abler lianas ; they must, however, keep in mind that the present was not a question between Captain Rey nolds and that meeting. It was a question involving the liberties of the nation at large. He could not agree hat at the present meeting a military man should have aken the chair ; but -as he was asked by tie Commit tee to see if any miiitary gentleman would take the chair, he had done so. They had had a specimen of what was likely to take place if a military man had been in the chair, by what had occurred at Brighton.- -(Great cheering.) They were much indebted to the press for the able manner in which it had stood forward .n the cause of justice to release an individual from that ruin, which the disgraceful tyranny of a few characters had inflicted upon him.—(Cheers.) He was sure that Captain RepaoldS must be proud of the manner in which his name had been brought forward before the - public., 7 (Pbeers.) - Lord Cardigan and his Court martini woutd-tieoopre 'otproverli:-aud,a• bye-word, while the name.and diameter of Captaia , Reynolds would stand out in bold relief,Anditis,posterity would feel proud of the conduct he had • pursued.—(Great cheering.) He was sorry to say there were many Cardigans in this country.—(Cheers.) The whole of the Court-martial that had lately sat at Brighton were composed of Car digans.—(Cheers.) They were met that day to express their abhorrence of •the old system in the army, by which an individual might be condemned without hearing. Such a system was infamous in the extreme, and the • sooner it was put a stop to the better. There could be no doubt that it was intended to condemn Captain Rey nolds before he was heard, and that the Court martial had agreed to his sentence before he Entered upon his defence.—(Cheers.) It was delightful to see the manner in which the true natLual character had displayed itself, in the cause of Captain Reynolds. All England had stood forward to a man to shew their hatred of oppression and love of justice..—(Cheers.) Let them go on as they had begun—(Cheers)—let them find out where the evil came from, and let them hurl their oppressors from their seat of power, which they had held without advantage to their country, but to the injury of their countrymen.—(Loud cheers ) It was said that Mr. Reynolds could not and would not accept of a subscription, and the tenor of his letter, which had appeared in a Paper of that morning, se med to bear out the idea. But they had nothing to do with Mr. Reynolds.—(Cheers.) They were working in favour of the cause.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Rey .. colds had fought the battle of the country—(Cheers) —he had been crushed in it by the heel of power, and it was the duty of the nation to see that that Gallant Gentleman was reimbursed.—(Loud cheers.) It had been beautifully written by one of our poets—" lie that steals my purse, steals trash ; but he who filches • from me my" good name, steals that which not enriches him, but makes me poor indeed."— ( Hear, hear.) Now they had stolen Mr. Reynolds' purse, but they bad not been able to filch from him his good name.—(Loud cheers.) No ; his name would ro down with honour to his children, and to his chil lren's children, and along with it should go the mark of the nation's esteem and regard.—(Cheers.) if the injustice had been committed through an e7ror of judg ment—had it been done through a mistake—there might have been some excuse ; but it was not. His judges knew the right, but carefully avoided it—they knew the wrong, and that road they had pursued. He begged pardon for detaining them, and would now conclude by proposing the first resolution. The Resolution ex pressed " alarm" . at the state of the 11th Hussars. After considerable discussion, the Resolution was al tered and passed as follows : " Circumstances having lately transpired in our Princes Regiment, the 11th Hussars, in documents having set forth purporting to emanate from the Ge neral Commanding-in-Chief, declaring the Regiment inefficient for serviU in quarters or in the field, by which the greatest surprise and regret has been created in the public mind, we are therefore of opinion that a petition should be presented to her Majesty, praying that an in quiry into the state of the said regiment be immediately instituted." Mr. DUNDEE seconded the motion. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously, and with acclamation. Dr. HENRY, Staff-Surgeon of the late British Auxili ary Legion, rose to move that a Committee of five be appointed to draw up the petition. He had spent many years in the army, but he bad failed in obtaining promotion, because the same system was carried out in the Spanish Legion as was pursued in the British army. When General Evans went out he bad in the Legion S 7 officers of the British army, but in consequence of the sprigs of aristocracy, who were promoted over their heads, and the manner in which they bad been treated by them when they left Vittoria, there were only 10 of the Si left.—(Cries of" Question.") He would simply propose the Resolution. Mr. HALFORD, of Dalston, seconded the motion, being a decided hater of tyranny in all shapes. Mr. WILLI/ors thought they would act most con sistently with the object of the present m eeting, which w as the sympathy of the public in an act of gross tary oppression , if no military man took any part in the proceedings. The other parts of the country would take their tone from the present meeting, and he trusted that no military man would be called on either to move or second any of the resolutions. Mr. Ewan T concurred in much of what had fallen from the last speaker, but he thought it went much too far. It would be unfair to exclude men who had for merly been connected with military service, hilt who had ceased to have any connexion with it. '1 hese men s ympathised deeply with the case of Captain Reynolds, which was one of monstrous and most atrocious oppres sion, and he hoped they would not be exclt detl, Mr. DE ST. Caotx inquired whether it was intended to raise any subscr'ption to enable Captain Reynolds to tz ke any proceedings that In . e. ht be necessary in LI.; Courts of Law ? The CHAIRNIAN was not aware of it. Mr. DE ST. CROIX understood from very compe:,-nt authority that the decision of the Horse Guards could be entit ely overthrown,it being altogether illegal.--( Cheers.) He was always ready to support the constituted autho rities, civil and military, while they acted impartially and justly, but when they deviated from that they would lose the support of; and be looked upon with suspicion by, all honourable men.—(Hear, hear.) The question before them was, bad Captain Reynolds been fairly tried ?—(Hear, hear.) Whether the Court-martial had heard his defence as well:as the charges against him ? He thought the course pursued towards Captain Reynolds was repugnant to every honourable man, and the at tention of the meeting ought to be directed to that point. If he (M. de St. Croix) was provoked by the repeated insults of any man to strike him down and take 'his life, and if he was tried before a Judge and a Jury of his Peers, when arraigned fur murder, would it be tolerated, that when called upon for his defence, the Judge should stand up and say, "I cannot listen to the provocation you have received ?" Such a doctrine would be scouted by every honest and independent man the Bar would rise as one man to prevent his being trampled on and treated with such gross injustice. He beved, therefore, to propose a resolution that a sub scription be entered into to defray the expenses of any action that might be brought forward in the courts of haw. The CHAIRMAN said, that from the turn the meet ing had taken, he felt bound to say a few words. He was afraid they were fighting shy of the question. The first resolution was certainly a very good one, and he was in hopes it would have been followed up with some strong resolution. He bad come down himself with resolutions which he should have proposed, had he not been placed in the Chair. Those resolutions were, first, " That it is the duty and interest of the British public to come forward and endeavour to procure the reinstatement of Captain Reynolds in his rank and standing in the II th Hussars, of which he has beln so unjustly deprived by the sentence of a Court-niartial.— (Great cheering.) Such was the first resolution he had intended to propose. The second was, that it was both the interest and the duty of the British nation to pro cure the dismissal of the Earl of Cardigan—(Cheers.)— from the army, as it appears but too manifest, both from the recent instances of his conduct towards his brother officers, as well as from the whole of his behaviour in the army, together with the decisions of the authority that he is utterly unfit to exercise authority over men of spirit, honour, and military talent, or over any but slaves and menials, who have no means whatever of resenting tyraany, or of punishing oppression.—(Great cheering.) The third resoluticn he had intended to propose was— " That a petition to the Queen, embodying the fore gohig resolution, he presented to her Majesty, to re instate Captain Reynolds in his rank and positionl; and also that her Majesty will he pleased to dismiss the Earl of Cardigan fro-1i his present, and exclude him from any future, command in the British array." Six gentlemen were then appointed to draw up a petition to the Queen, with power to add to their numbers. Mr. KING pressed upon the meeting the necessity of expressing their determination to raise subscriptions, us that was the only way of doing any good. Mr. EVART said the proposed resolution was, in his opinion, inconsistant and absurd. The Courts of Law had no earthly power over the decisions of Courts Martial—that decision being approved of by the authorities of the Horse Guards and her Majesty, was final. They were there as the friends of Mr. Reynolds, and ought not to do any thing which he thought would further compromise him at the Horse Guards. lie would move as an amsndmcnt, that a Committee he appointed to get up petitions to Parliament, calling lupon them to insert a clause in the Mutiny Act, providing that an appe should lie from such Courts to the bightst judicial Bench in the country.—(Cries of " No, no.'") After a lengthened discussion, a Committee was ap• pointed to prepare resolutions fur an adjourned meet ing, to be held on Thursday next, at one o'clock. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated, AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOBE IL The labours of the harvest have now come to a close, and in a season of - splendour which has not had its equal since the year 18:30. But brilliant as the sun has been, the temperature has, upon the whole, been cool, and not fewer than seven or eight 1•oar frosts hate occurred. In 1830, both days and nights were op pressively warm, the mercury approaching 70 deg. as its maximum in the shade. Farmers were recently heard to complain that they could not sow their wheat for want of rain ; and, in fact, we had ocular proof, whit,: trenching a plot in a field, that the spade brought up clods, dust :by, at nearly two feet below the surface. Whatever the north and west of the kingdom may have experienced, certain it is that the southern countries have had no ground rains for six months ; and deep wells reveal the fact, inasmuch as they have lost twenty or thirty feet of water during that period. But showers have visited us of late, and no reason whatever remains for any delay in wheat-sowing. ‘Ve wish to meet one of the sources of alarm which farmers are so ready to indulge in—it is that of "ground malting." We would ask those who enter'ain the idea. whether they unierstand what the procrss of malting is ? and how they can by a n y p ar i t y o f reason i ng compare t h e situation of aced in a dry drill, waiting for rain, with that of barley saturated with water, and lying in the heated atmosphere of a n.althouse;in masses ? The corn, or, in deed, any other seed, may remain unexcited for want of water ; but if it meet with moisture sufficient to develop the radicle, the spire will not remain long inactive. " Ground malting" we regard as hypothetical ; of the existence of which some rational doubts may be enter tained. Is it not, we inquire, one of those bugbears which seize the imagination and retard the opera tion of rowing till the season be so far protracted as to expose the young and tender plant to all the rigours of a January frost ? Did we not suffer; very fatally, in 135, in consequence of retarded sowing ; and were not our " reports" among the first to warn and caution against the foreseen consequences ? But, perhaps, there exists little cause of any fear ; for if conscnticnt evidence be worthy of credence, such a seed-time has rarely been witnessed ; and now that the few samples of hastily carried wheat which had received injury from another of the groundless alarms of the farmer have vanished om the market, we hear of abundance' heavy crof s, and auspicious " gatherings-in." We se,! daily—flue hu,handry, great breadths well and tim •ly sawn, and beautiful verdure of young plants rising above the surface : and in an able general review we re rd to the following effect :—" The sowing of wheat has leen nearly finished in the more forward dis tricts ; tie farmers will therefore soon have leisure to thrash. Adv ices from Scotland inform us that the eataer has continued favourable for all agricultural pursuits, of which farmers have availed themselves, and the utmost activity has prevailed ; large tracts of land have been prepared to receive autumn seed, and some portion of wheat had be:n committed to the ground. " From Ireland we continue to receive favourable ac counts respecting the weather, and the progress which had been made with autumn sowing, and other out-door labours ; in the northern parts of the island supplies had falle I off, and prices had rather rallied, but in the southern counties, fair quantities of both wheat and oats had been brought forward, and the value of each of these articles continued to have a downward tendency." —Mark-lane Express. We rely on these statements, for they bear out our own observations, and the results of all our inquiries. We are most perplexed to report the yield of the potato. Our own have not returned us much more than on:- third of our usual produce : drought operated equally on the size and number of the tubers. Local prices as sure us of what we hear on all sides—that, in the dry. counties there has been a great falling off. Our autho rity just referred to, says, " The potato erod (in Scot land), which was being secured, seemed rather to dis appoint the growers, the yield being, in many cases, lighter than had been expected ; the quality, however, was generally good." Prices, we think, must be dear, and this leads to the remark that it is the duty of farmers to raise new seed lings, particularly as the droughted tubers of this year offer bat a poor pledge of the crop of 1841. Three years ago we raised a few seedlings of the most excel lent kidney, and have nursed them to the present sea son. The plot recently digged of the produce of these seedlings is the only one which has returned us about fifteen jidd the weight of the tubers planted! Hence we argue the constitutional power of this newly-deve loped generation ; and though a solitary fact may carry but little weight, yet certain we arc that great benefit, and no evil, will result from the attempts to re-invigo rate our stock. Our agricultural friends may, we hope, profit by this suggestion. - of Item t ne h as given fifty guineas to the Royal Naval John Smith Wright, Esq., p 0 Hall, SUPPRESSION OF CAMBERWELL FAIlt.--A F L z o m ug a i i i e bo s io c u L g oo h i. memorial and reply have passed between the inhabitants of Camberwell and Sir E.

KITCHEN V, CROFT. Mr. LlumPitanies moved in this case, which was tried before Chief Justice Tyndal at the Kingston Assizes, fur a rule to show cause why the verdict for the defendant should not Le .set aside and a verdict entered for the plain tiff, with nominal damages. It was au action of trespass and for an assault. The plaintiff was possessed of certain land, which was vested in a man named Acton by an order of the Insolvent Court, and the land was purchased by the defendant from Acton, while the plaintiff was in custody under an execution. The whole question was, whether the land was legally vested in Acton, which the Learned Counsel contended was not the case, as the writ was for a sum of 20/., and by the 48th George 111., the plaintiff having been more than twelve months in custody, was en- titled — to his discharge, and was consequently out of the jurisaietion of the Insolvent Court. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE thought-the meaning of the Act was that the insolvent should in the first case make satisfaction to his creditors by the remainder of his pro perty, and that consequently the land was legally vested in Acton. The other Judges concurred, and the rule was refused. THE GREAT NORTH or ENGLAND RAILWAL COMPANY V. WEBB Mr. COWLING moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaintiffs should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered by leave of the Learned Judge. It was an action to recover the instalment due on certain shares which the defendant had purchased in the Great. North of England Railway Company, tried before Mr. Baron Rolfe at the last Durham Assizes. The application was founded upon a defect in the proceedings of the Directors at the meeting, when the call in question wasJesolved upon; and the Learned Counsel having re ferred at some length to the provisions of the Act under which the Company had been incorporated, the Court granted the rule. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON. ) N THE MATTER 07 THE POOR RATES OP THE PALISH OF ST. ANDREW PERSHORE-MANDAMUS. Mr. GREY applied to the Court tor a rule calling upon four Magistrates of NS , orcestershire to show ....ause why a mandamus should not issue, ordering them to issue a war rant of distress for the recovery of poor rates. The facts of the c.ise were these :—A poor rate had been made for the parish o' St. Andrew Pershore, to which a person of the name of Thomas Woodward bad been assessed in the sum of Si The parish was divided into six parts, namely, the town of Pershore, in which was situated the mother church and five chapelries, each having their own chapel wardens and overseers, and maintaining their own poor. Woodward had objected to pay the rate, and had been summoned before the Magistrates. The notice of this rate had been affixed to the door a the church of St. Andrew, Pershorc, only inasmuch as it re lated solely to property situated in the town of Pershore, and to none in the chapelries. It was contended before the Magistrates, and decided by them, that the warrant ought not to issue, because notice of it had not been posted on the chapels of the chapelries, and also on the door of a dissenting chapel in the town of Pershore, which, as was contended, was required by the statute of the Ist Victoria, cap. 45. Now, by the old law, the affixing the rate on the church door only would have been held a good and suffi cient publication, and he contended that by the statute of Victoria there was no necessity for such publication as had been required by the Magistrates. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Take a rule. It appears to Inc that they might as well require that notice should be af fixed upon the doors of a chapel in London.—Rule granted. CONDION PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) SIIEN'ARD V. PIRUS. This action was brought to recover damages, alleged to have been sustained through the defendant's selling to plaintiff an unsound and imperfectly built barge, with a guarantee of soundness and perfection. The plaintiff is a cement-manufacturer, residing at Maidstone, and the de fendant a barge-builder, at the same place. In April, 1838, the plaintiff and defendant entered into a written agreement, the former to buy, sod the latter to sell, for the sum of 6751., a " new barge, then lying (unrigged) at the defendant's wharf, completely rigged and fitted with stores, in the same manner as a barge sold by Py bus to Sheppard two years before." The barge upon her first voyage leaked, so that a large quan tity of cement was spoiled ; and so on her second a► d third voyages, after which she was blocked, and next run aground in consequence of the leakage. The action vvr:s for the value of the cement destroyed, and for the repairs of the barge. The jury found for the plaintiff in the full amount. Al-. Sergeant CHANNELL now moved for a rule for a nonsuit, on a point of law, received by the Lord Chief Justice; or for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was contrary to evidence. He admitted the leakage, but contended that it had been made out in evidence that this was not owing to unsoundness of material, or imperfection of build, but that it was an infirmity common to all new bargee, which ought to be sunk for some time to season them b'forc they should be employed in the carriage of goods so liable to damage from water as cement. The point of law reserved was that the agreement entered into was not to be construed against the defendant as a gtu rantee against erfection ; but if the Court were not with the Learned Serge ant on that, be submitted that the evidence had exonerated the defendant, and that the vet.- ' diet ought not to have gone for the plaintiff. Rule nisi granted. LOCK AND OTHEI:S V. MELVILLE AND OTHERS Mr. Sergeant BONIVAS moved for a rule to enter a non suit in this case, in which a verdict had been given for the plaintiffs. The action was brought by the ect.; s nc-ea of Mr Barker againtt the defendants, who were creditors of the alleged bankrupt, and who, in defiance of the commis sion, sold Barker's cattle and other agricultural stock under an execution. The Learned Sergeant now sub mitted that the commission was invalid, and that Barker was wrongly described as a trader within the meaning of the statute. Under the commission he was described as a "money serivener,"and if he same rightly under that deicrip tion there could be no doubt that he was subject to the Bank ruptcy Acts. But, in that statute the " money scrivener" was stated to be " a person who received, in his trust and custody, the money and estates of other persons, to be employed by him for their profit and advantage." The plaintiff had failed to show that honks had any such trusts or custody, or that ho in any way was employed in trade. [lc was an attorney, and all that was shown of his dealings l m o o an n s ey o m ever ve o r n p e a y ssi f i o lg r gh s h fr m ad another, R u lenisi granted. in money was, th a t h e on th ree severa l occas i ons procure d t hornoeu client HOWELL V. ADKINS. Mr. Sergt. GOULBURN moved f ir a new trial,on the ground of misdirection, the Learned Judge (Coltman) having al lowed a paragraph, subsequently published to that of which this action for libel (against the Northampton Herald) arose, to go to the Jury, although it had not been set forth in the declaration. The first paragraph stated that certain pip e s, laid by plaintiff in the Bedford County Hospital, for the purpose of warming the apartments with hot water, had burst, to the great danger of the patients. This was not true at the time, but it was prophetic ; for in a f ,, w days afterwards the pipes did burst, and the He rald, in stating the fact, repeated the former para, graph, and dared the plaintiff to disprove it, adding some observations in disparagement of the plaintiff and his invention. The second paragraph (the Learned Sergeant contended) was made improperly a foundation for the ver dict, although it might, and probably would be, the ground of a second action. The Coma was of opinion lhat the second paragraph was rightly sent to the Jury, to show the animus of the defendant.—Rule refused. MISERS V. GRIFFITH. This was an action for slander, in which the Jury found for the plaintiff in damages Is., but subsequently expressed their regret that they had not found in a lager sum, when they learned that ls., in actions of slander, does not carry costs. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS moved for a new trial, on the n V ENING ED PI 0147, ROAD TO TN I.IIA, (From the Quotidienne.) " The commercial road of the Indies, through Asia Minor and Syria, is the immense advantage which the English Cabinet is to find iu the execution of the Treaty of London. The project of sabstituting thet of the Euphrates to that of the Cape of Goad Hope existed before the adoption of the road by the Red S _a. It. is Colonel Chesney's fruitless expedition in 1666 which caused it to be suspended. But from that moment the officers of the East India- Company have been unceas ing in their exertions, and Captain Lnch's last enter prise seems to have completely succeeded. " Those men who believed in the possibility of open. ing a new road from India by the Euphrates ba%c x erted themselves in seeking on the western coast of Sy ria and .Asia a landing port for the Eiiglish packets. At one time it was Alexalidretta, on account of its gulf and proximity to Orueto, where a cal:al [eight he anti carried up to Bir, whoa the Euphrates is navig ;at another it was B , lrout, and even St. JOan d'Aero, whc,se citadel was to be retained. In all those conjectures the northern route was Fran"• Our customs and our ports rere to be enriched by ali the duties of transit and warehousing a trade which would put. in circulation more than a thousand miffions. " According to the projecttheWea. road would avoid France entirely. The steamers could go from Sam soun, on the Black Sea, to Vienna, by the Danube, and could ascend as far as Lintz, where 6v a land road, the despatches and travellers would proceed to Antwerp and Amsterdam, where they would embark for London. That road would evidently be shorter than by the Me diterranean, and Captain Linch does not exagge rate when he states that the passage from London to Bombay could be wade in thirty-six days. The grand project fostered by Prussia and Austria to joi❑ the Danube to the Rhine by railroads, which would correspond with those of Belgium, would be an immense advantage gained over the project of England. Therefore the Allied Powers would all have an interest in seeing it put into execution. "Tne advantages of the quadruple treaty arc, there fore, daily developed. The mutual concessions made by all the Powers are of benefit to all. France, being left isolated, suffers alone, and loses all that the others gain. " moneyed men who make such bargains of Km tional honour, will they evince aay sensibility against the attempt ►which is to be set up against our material pros perity ? We cannot hope for it. Fear with them is stronger even than avarice." NEW ZEALAND COMPANIES. The fulkwing particulars are extracted from state ments made at a grand dinner given by the above Coin pane,s, at Plymouth. Earl of Devon in the Chair : E. G. WAKEFIELD, Es:l., said th a t at t h e ca ll o f the i r Noble Ccairman, he should proceed, without preface, to state to them the very gratifying inLrmation he had just then brought with hint from London. They were all aware that within the last two or three years the subject of the colonisation of New Zealand had given occasion to a number of disputes and vexations questions between the Government cud the parties engaged in endeavouring to colonise the country. lie rejoiced at being able to an nounce to them that those disputes were at an end._ Hear. ) The main question in dispute was, whether these magnificent islands should or should not remain under the dominion of the Queen of England. some said that they were British territory, others that they were not ; and this difference of opinion was the source of many more. The main question, ou which in truth all the others de pended, had b •ea settled by the eivil boldness of a military man. He meant one who was known to many present__ Captain Hobson, of the navy.---( Cheers.) Captain Hub son, who had been despatched to New Zealand in a diplo matic character, as her Majesty's consul, accredited to the native chiefs, finding that great disorders prevailed fur want of a suffizierit sivereign authority, and that there was much risk, even that the Company's settlers might in self-defence, in order to avert the evils of complete anarchy, set up fur their own protection a sort of in dependent republic in the south Seas ; Captain Hob son, he said, thus issue two took upon himself to two proclamations in her Mejcsty's name, by which the whole o!' the islands of New Zea'and were declared part and parcel of the Queen's dominions. Those in.ocla mati,ns her Majesty's Government had republished in the London Gaze:te. The main sutject of dispute was thus disposed of.—(Cheers.) The principal question being settled, it became comparatively easy to adjust the others. The Directors of the New Zealand Company woe iu hopes, until last evening, that they should be able to convey to this meeting the detailed statement of a settlement of all differences between the Government and the Company. The details were still wanting, but the settlement had taken place.—( Loud cheers ) He begged permission to read a letter which the Governor of the Company had re ceived yesterday from one of the Under Secretaries of State for the Colonies:— " Downing-street, Oct. 28, 1840. " Sir—l am directed by Lord John Russell to acquaint you that he has had under his consideration your letter of the 22d Lstant, written on behalf of the gentlenien who have been hitherto associated under the name of the New Zealand Cowpony, in which you inquire in what liuht the Government intends to regard the rights acquired by the Company, and on what terms the Government would be dis posed to sancticn their corporate existence, to determine their ptcvnt claims, and to ugulate their future operations. " In consequence of Lcrd John Russell's absence from town, it has been impossible at this period to return a de finite answer to your inquiry ; but I am directed by his Lordship to state that in a tew days the draft of an ar rangement will be submitted to you, and that his Lord. ship cannot anticipate that there will be any conditions to which the Company will entertain any serious objection. " lam, Sir, your most obedient humble sertroint, R. VERNON sMirii." The Directors of the London Company, who deserved some credit for caution as well as boldness, for prudence as well as courage, had authorised him (Mr. Wakefield) to state th ►t they were entirely satisfied with the purport of this letter, and frilly expected that arrangements would be immediately made by which all the questions in dispute would be set at rest.
