DIRECTORS._ of Grantham ; and the latter projected a line from Spalding to Newark, each of which were parallel to the eastern portion of your line, and if either had been obtained, would have diverted a consi derable portion of the eastern traffic. The treat Northern and East Lincolnshire also introduced other Bills, the effect of which, if they had not been defeated, would, have been to destroy your proposed station at Bost •n, and render the branch to the quay, at that place. almost useless. The Great Northern also, by another Bill, to effect a deviation of their line near Grantham, made another attack upon your line at that place, which would have been most prejudicial Inel it been successful. In accordance, however, with their duties and the active vigilanea your Directors have aver endeavoured to exer-• cise in protecting the interests of the Company, they offered to the several Bills every legal opposition, and they are happy to say with the most complete success, having thrown out all the Bills except the last, which was so modified as to make the junction at Grantham more advantageous, and, at the same time, more independent. Clauses have bean inserted in that Act empowering the two Compa nies to snake a joint station, and also empowering the Great Nor thern to use a portion of your line on payment of an equitable toll. These attempted projects are conclusive that In the opinion of those powerful Companies the district is important and capable of deve loping a large traffic, and by the success attending the exertions of your Directors us part of that district has been infringed upon—all that the Legislature has granted has been preserved intact. In thus defeating aggression, your Directors have not refused friendly alliances when they would conduce to your interests. They are happy to say that the best understanding now exists between this Company and the Eastern Count!es. In fixing the station of their Wisbeach and Spalding line at the latter place, they have edopted your site, and an agreement has been entered into for the construction of suds station at the joint expense of the twe Compa nies, and the alliance has further been strengthened by arranging for an interchange of traffic, and running of trains, between Grantham and Spalding, and spalding and Wisbeach, the terms and details of which arc to be settled by arbitration. This agreement will promote alike the facility and convenience of the public, and the interests of the Company, and may ultimately lead to a more inthnate union, and which agreement will be submitted to the Special General Meet. inc on the 21st of September next, to consider the propriety of con firming the same. In conformity with the Act, four of the Directors, and one of the Auditors retire, who are eligible for re-election. The Directors are happy to state that the differences which have arisen between a portion of the Shareholders and the Board have been amicably arranged, and that the Directors will be increased to the full number of sixteen ; seven of whom are to be recommended by the Committees of the Shareholders. And for the election of three of that number, a Special General meeting will be necessary, which is fixed for Tuesday, the 21st of September next.

Diffidence, or a sense of right deterin ne the former, and miscalculated hopes ens 'aittor the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret uu comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness ai.d social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS " On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. Gd. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation. of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but ior the closet perusal of those snore deeply interested, to whom they arc offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by walualifled authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. Gd.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " Bow to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the Caere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and petition to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—ta do auto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

SlR,—Raving observed in your journal of Friday's date a letter from one of your correspondents, cau tioning the holders of railway property - tot to sell at the present depressed rates, and insinuating that there exists an extensive practice of overbearing the market, and particularly so in Manchester, I beg to state, for your information, that your correspondent is in error in imagining that " bear" operations in the Manchester market have been a great medium of re ducing the value of shares. On the contrary, we have suffered most severely from extensive purchases having beet) made by operators who have had neither the will nor the ability to take up large quantities of stock, so that at the account day, or immediately be fore, the shares have been forced on the market, and afterwards sold at a ruinous sacrifice. 'Within the last day or two we have had a very striking instance of this ; as a very respectable broker in our Exchange, having bought considerably into a well-known line, by the order of a principal for whom he had fre quently been in the habit of operating, has been made the victim of the reckless speculation of his em ployer, who was perfectly aware that in the event of heavy loss, he had neither the means of taking up the shares or even of paying the difference of price if increased. No doubt some imprudent "bear" operations have been occasionally entered into, but as the stock, when sold, must be delivered at a certain day, the " bear" has frequently to pay smartly for his folly in selling that which he does not possess. I earnestly trust, with your correspondent, that brighter days are dawning for us in the railway share-market ; I must, however, confess that, in my experience, I have found that the great fault of rail way operators has not been a too general disposition to realise, but a tendency to hold with the greatest tenacity, clinging to the last to the delusive hope that some sudden change will enable them to sell to ad vantage, when they ultimately find themselves em barrassed with a quantity of almost worthless paper, and intimidated by a fearful liability of future calls which they have not the means to meet. Unfortunately, railway property has been too ex clusively held by a class of smaller capitalists, who have neglected the legitimate channels of their ordi nary occupations, to enter into these speculative ope rations. Nor can we ever hope to see a permanent restoration of confidence in the railway market till this style of investment settles down into the hands of capitalists who have both the power and the intention to pay up all the calls, and to provide for all the liabili ties incurred by purchasing this description of pro perty. I have been induced to trouble you with these remarks, as I have always observed a tone of candour and impartiality evinced in the pages of your valuable journal ; and I feel assured you would extremely regret to be the means of promulgating any state ment not substantially correct. I have the honour to be, Sir, Yours, very repectfully, A MEMBER OF THE MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE. Manchester, Sept. 25, 1847. THE SPORTSMAN'S THREE WISHES The sportsman has wishes—we name them—they're three, With the truth of this version you all will agree : Now September's set in, most nobly we'll strive, To keep the old custom of shooting alive.

On the first application to Parliament for the construction of this railway, the Midland Company w ere large shareholders, and being otherwise interested, it was not thought advisable to incur the ex uecof makin g a separate station, w h ar f s, & c ., a t Nottingham, and therefore lie Powers in the original Act were taken for that purpose ; but as that Com pany subsequently withdrew their connexion, your Directors, tinder the Sanction of the half-yearly meeting in February last, applied to Parliament to deviate line, and by increasing their powers to secure an independent the As the Compny's trains wo position.

After the Bill had b een Introduced into Parliament , the Midland Company met your three.. tore in a very liberal anti friendly spirit, and after some negotiations, !t ll agreement was entered into under the corporate seals of eac h Company, by which the Midland Company consented to repeal so 'Mich of the Mineola Act as enabled them to charge the six miles Pate, and a clause to that effect has been introduced into their amended Act, by which this C om p an y pay a. mileage only. They have also agreed to provide the necessary stations and other accom ',lodation for the passengers an d traffic, both at Nottingham and Anabergate, the extent and terms to be arranged bj' a Director ap pointed front each Company, and in case of difference, to be settled . by an umpire. In consequence of this agreement you r D irectors onl y proceeded am to obt • powers for the construction of the Branch to the Canal W harf at Nottingham, which they have obtained, and over which the :Midland Company have power to run their trains, on payment of toll. The concessions and powers thus secured are of the utmost im portance and advantage to the Company.

My right-hand neigh bour,, in responding to the toast of "The Ju d g es, took occasion to advert to the panic which the late and some previous legislative changes had created in the agricultural• mind, and showed by nume rous instances, which he cited, these apprehen sions were without just foundation. But he went on to show, that in order to compete success fully with foreigners, or to deriva the just produce of the land, under any circumstances, farms must be better cultivated than they are at present. It is of no use to complain cf the competition of foreigners, until you have tried what you can do yourselves — (Hear, hear)—and as long as we hear the complaints which we do on all sides, we must admit that the farming of this country is by no means what it ought to be. Well, then, having established that the farm ing is bad, we next come to ask what is in great mea sure the cause ? And here, without wishing to enter upon any controversial or irritating topic, I must beg you to look a little deeper below the surface than we have hitherto done ; and I think I cannot enlist your at tention to this point better than by giving you the opi nion of one who is much more entitled to your respect, as an authority in these matters, than any opinion of mine. What said my Lord Stradbroke, at a recent meeting of the East Suffolk Association ? After adverting to the altered state of the law as affecting the whole agricultural community, and lamenting over the vast tracts of land which we daily see imper fectly cultivated, the farm buildings dilapidated, the tenantry in an obviously impoverished condition ; in short, all betokening neglect—his Lordship goes on to say, " The question then naturally arises--who is to blame ? This is delicate ground ; but, however un popular, I shrink nut from stating my opinion fear lessly—l trust not offensively. I say, then, that the landlords are the chief culprits ; it is the landlords' faults if the farms be not better cultivated. We may call upon the occupier to improve the land, but can we expect men of sense to expend their capital without some guarantee—without the certainty of such continued occupation as may secure both principal and interest to the full extent of the sum expended?" This, gen tlemen, is Lord Stradbroke's opinion, and in alluding to the remedy he points to the obvious one of leases. And, gentlemen, when we talk of leases, don't suppose I allude to those absurd, incomprehensible documents abounding in useless restrictions, and worthy only of an obsolete age, but to those simple intelligible in struments (too rarely to be met with) which give the tenant credit for common sense and competent skill in the conducting of his business, whilst they preserve intact the just rights and privileges of the landlord. Such a lease, for example, as that taken by Mr. Skirving, a well-known farmer, at Walton, near Liverpool. Some six or seven years ago this gentle man applied to the owner of his farm for its occupa tion. The landlord knew that Mr. Skirving was both a man of capital and skill, and, as such, he was aware, would not enter on the occupation of the farm with out the security of a lease. Accordingly instruc tions were given to the attorney to draw one. But when it was presented to Mr. Skirving for perusal, it was so full of ridiculous directions and absurd re strictions, that he (Mr. Skirving) found it would be quite hopeless to attempt to farm under it, and there fore refused to sign it. After a great deal of wrangling and discussion, the landlord at last said, " Then take the farm on your own conditions; draw up a lease yourself, and I will sign it." The tenant did so, and instead of a long incomprehensible document, pro duced a lease of six or eight lines. Ile entered upon the farm, and it is now known as the best cultivated farm in the district, and an example to every one ho sees it. This, gentlemen, is the common- sense method of going to work. All that an effective lease requires is a general covenant that a tenant shall keep his land clean, and in a good state of cultivation, with a clause enabling the landlord to determine the lease, if, upon arbitration, he shall be declared to have dila pidated the farm=and this, depend upon it, will be found a much better protection than those verbose and senseless documents to which I have alluded. But, gentlemen, I have already trespassed too long on your attention, and will conclude by egain Teverting to my toast, and I have much pleasure in taking this opportunity to associate with it the name of a gentle man for whom I have entertained, personally, much respect, with whom, however, owing to some mutual misapprehension, I have had some misunderstanding, but which has since been mutually explained. I mean the gentleman on my left, Lieut. Roberts. Mr. ROBERTS returned thanks. The company shortly afterwards separated. CATHOLIC DEMONSTRATION IN FAVOUR OF POPE PIUS. Last night a densely crowded meeting of the Ca tholic inhabitants of the borough of Marylebone was held at the Literary Institution, Edward-street, Port man-square, for the purpose of expressing their sym pathy with his Holiness Pope Pius IX., and to protest against the aggressions of the Austrian Government on the Roman States. Shortly before eight o'clock the chair was taken by the Right Rev. Dr. Morris, Bishop of Troy, who addressed the meeting in speech of considerable length, and supported tilt claims of Pope Pius on the confidence and admiration of the Catholic community. The Right Rev. Prelate eulogised the career of the Sovereign Pontiff, and called upon the meeting to express, in language which could not be misunderstood, their feelings with regard to the iniquitous, tyrannical, and unjust attack which had been made by the Austrian power on the rights and privileges of Rome. The Rev. Mr. M'Neil pro posed, and Mr. E. W. O'Mahoney, an Irish bar rister, seconded the first resolution, which declared that whilst they, as Catholics, acknowledge their unbounded spiritual allegiahce to his Holiness Pope Pius IX., who so ably filled the papal chair, they at the same time proclaimed their confi dence and admiration of his wisdom as a temporal ruler, and sincere protector of religious and political liberty and independence. The Rev. Mr. O'Neil and Mr. Ward, author of " The Ideal of a Spiritual Church," and formerly of Oxford University, were the mover and seconder of the next resolution, " That the efforts now being made by the Austrian powers on the dominions of his Holiness, to check the pro gress of rational liberty promoted by Pope Pius IX., and the occupation of the town of Ferrara by Austrian troops, merited their unmitigated condemna tion and hostility." The Rev. Mr. Ivers proposed, and Mr. F. Lucas seconded, the adoption of a resolu tion declaring the necessity . for entering into a sub scription to aid the Pope in the further progress of reform. It was also agreed that an address of sym pathy, founded on the resolutions, should be presented to the Sovereign Pontiff. The fourth resolution, laudatory of the conduct of the King of Sardinia and Prince Leopold, Duke of Tuscany, in volunteering their assistance to second the Pope's exertions, wa:, moved by T. P. Healey, Esq., and seconded by Ber nard Duffy, Esq. All the resolutions passed unani mously. A vote of thanks having been awarded to the Chairman, the meeting separated.

ESQUARE, 1,01.1D01i. NORTH DERBY AGRICULTURAL THE CHINESE MUSEUM, Bow.—On Saturday las . upwards of 600 children, belonging to the school of Gcorge Green, Esq., at Poplar, were a dmitted gratuit ously to the Chinese exhibition, on the invitation of the proprietor. The young folks wtnt to and from the c ollection in procession, and on retiring gave full ex pression to their wonder and delight. Ayow, the young Chinese, was an object of great attraction. Mr. Green and a party of friends accompanied the schools. TAKE CARE OF THE PENCE. —The careful savings by a female lately deceased, arising principally from pence and farthings, has amounted to the sum of 1,5001. She was for many years a resident of Berkshire, and has bequeathed to the Windsor Dispensary the sum of 201. ; and alter leaving a few other legacies, amounting to about 1001., has left the remainder to a female ac quaintance. MADEMDISELLt DELuzir.—The investigation into the affair of Madlle. Deluzy in still going on. Several witnesses have been interrogated, and commissions to examine have been forwarded to several tribunals in the country, and especially to that of Melon, to inquire into matters anterior to the period of the crime, and con nected more particularly with the position of Mdlle. De luzy in the Praslin family. It is not until after those inquiries have been concluded that she can be again examined. She is now kept less strictly than before, and has received permission to receive certain visits. GAME LAWS.—We understand that the premium of twenty guineas, offered by the East Lothian Anti Game-law Association for the best essay on the moral, social, and economical effects of the game-laws, has been awarded by Mr. Bright, M.P.' a nd the other judges, to Mr. John Cheine Shepherd, f a rmer, Gleghornie, near North Berwick. It may be mentioned as another indi cation of the universality of the feeling against the game-laws among the tenant-farmers, that Mr. Shep herd the successful essayist, is a Conservative and Pro tectionist, and distinguished himself by debating the corn-law question against Mr. Cobden at Haddington.— Scotsman. INCREASE OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—We learn from the Great Western traffic returns that during the last 13 weeks the receipts have, without the opening of a single additional mile of railway by the company during the last 12 months, exceeded those of the corresponding 13 weeks of the last year by no less a sum than 11,5001., or nearly 1,0001. per week. A remarkable fact con nected with this increase is, that, notwithstanding the depressed condition of the mercantile world, the Great Western Company have, duritig the last two weeks, carried more goods of a general description than they had ever previously conveyed in the same period. The goods' receipts for the last week amounted to 5,2801. If this increase of receipts over those for the corresponding period of last year be maintained, and the continuous character of it promises well for its perma nence, the company, which, it will be recollected, carried a disposable balance of 25.0001. and upwards to the re venue account last half-year, will be able to pay their usual dividend of four per cent. ;per annum for the six months, without falling back on the resources made available both by themselves and the London and North- Western Company last half-year. EXTRAORDINARY HIGH TIDES. —Singe Sunday noon there have been three very high tides, which have overflowed all the unprotected parts of the river side, and in some instances overtopped embankments of no mean height, and consequently doing considerable mischief by the inundating of warehouses and other buildings; but the most extraordinary of these tides was that of Sunday afternoon, when the water was higher than it has been for two or three years past. Bankside, the lower parts of Lambeth, the large open space in front of Lambeth Church were all under water. At Chelsea College the tide rose over the embankment wall, and, flooding the ornamental canals, laid the gardens under water. Above Battersea-bridge, the Fulham Lammas lands were one sheet of water, as far as the eye could reach. The lawns in front of Sir Frederick Roe's, Mr. Sullivan's, and Mr. Horsley Palmer's residences were inundated, and the water reached nearly to the houses. On the opposite shore the tide had established a right of entering into the dwellings of poor fishermen and others living at the water side, Wandsworth, and inundated them to the extent of two or three feet. The tide had so influenced the Wandle that it soon overflowed its banks, and the plain at Wandsworth was one wide sheet of water. At Putney bridge the Sunbeam and other steam-boats could :not pass through, and they landed their passengers on the bridge itself, literally a very easy task. Above the bridge the towing paths were :many feet under water, and the barge horses could not travel for some hours. The wind blew steadily from the N.Ee and was in the same quarter yesterday. SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM BANK FORGERY.-- During the race week at Doncaster, forged notes on the Sheffield and Rotherham Ba nk were p aid t® about fifteen tradesmen of that town, in the course of business, by different parties. Some of these daring swindler ais, in order to accomplish their purpose, assu med an die lit of remarkable difficulty in being pleased with the quay of the goods according to the price asked; evincing, at the same time, a reluct ance to purchase, with the view of elueling suspicion on the pa r t of the seller — Times% Sheffield SOCIETY. • . • (From. the Derby Reporter.) The annual meeting of this society was held at Chesterfield on Wednesday last. The exhibition of cattle was a small one, and the show upon the whole was inferior to the one of last year. The attendance of the gentry of the district was very scanty, and was pointedly remarked upon. Among those present we noticed the lion. G. H. Cavendish, M.P., \V. H. De Hodes, Esq., E. G. Maynard, Esq., H. Bowden, Esq., J. Thompson, Esq. (Stubbing Court), George Stephenson, Esq , Vic. The prizes having been awarded, at two o'clock a party of 50 partook of an excellent dinner at the Angel Inn ; Philip Heacock, Esq., president of the society, in the chair. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, The CHAIRMAN gave " Success to the North Derbyshire Agricultural Society." " The Judges, and thanks for their services," was next given. Mr. INETT returned thanks. He was sorry and disappointed at not seeing a more extensive show. A few years ago, when he (Mr. Inett) had the pleasure of being with them on a similar occasion, the exhibi tion was very superior, and indeed highly creditable to the district. What were the circumstances that led to the falling off he could not say. Whether re cent legislative changes had anything to do with it, or whether it was attributable to other causes was best known to the society itself. Without at all entrenching upon the wise rule laid down, that politics should be excluded from the deliberations of the society, he might allude briefly to recent legislative changes which might have had a tendency to depress the agricultural mind. When, for instance, they were told that foreign cattle was to be imported, it was gravely alleged that it would not be worth the British farmer's while to rear cattle, but the result had shown their fears and prognostications to be fallacious. —(Hear, hear.) Then again, when they were told that foreign corn was to be imported, it was stated that the ruin of the English farmer must speedily follow. To be sure such prophecies of evil were not new. He well remembered when gas was introduced that men seriously believed that no more tallow would be wanted—(Laughter)—and when railways were first made it was argued as a certainty that it ' would be of no use breeding horses, or growing any more oats or beans.,--(Laughter.) Now these were popular opinions at one time, and it required the teaching of experience to prove to many how utterly fallacious they were.—(Hear, hear.) For himself he believed that with good farming and an enterprising spirit, we can grow corn as cheap here as in most countries abroad. However, of this he was sure, that whether corn be high or low, bad farming would not answer at any price.—(Hear, hear.) If we could not make a farm productive, the fault must be in the mode adopted in its cultivation, or the deficiency of capital and skill. There was a large quantity of land in this country, which, for want of drainage and proper management, was worth nothing to the farmer. —(Hear, hear.) He did not mean to say that in such cases the tenant was solely to blame. In some instances this state of things might be attributable to bad landlords; in others, to indifferent agents, who were a stumbling block in the way of improvement ; but, however this might be—whatever the difficulties under which many tenants laboured, he (Mr. Inett) believed that a brighter day would dawn upon the British farmer, when he would be remunerated for the labour and capital employed—indeed he had no doubt of it.—(Applause.) The VICE-PRESIDENT then gave the healths of the successful candidates. Mr. HEYWOOD (Brimington) acknowledged the toast on behalf of the successful candidates. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of the Duke of Devonshire," which was received with loud plaudits. The toast was drunk with three times three. Mr. CAVENDISH was sure his Grace would learn with great satisfaction the kind and hearty manner in which they had received the toast. The Duke of De vonshire would always take a warm interest in the society, and but for the unfavourable state of the weather on the other side of the hill, and slight in dispoSition, would have visited the show-yard. to-day. —(Applause.) The Hon. Gentleman then proposed the " Health of Mr. Heacock, the President." The CHAIRMAN, in responding, stated that he had been a member of the society from its commence ment, and should continue to be so, believing that such institutions were calculated to do good by im proving the breed of cattle and promoting the mutual interests of landlord and tenant.—(Cheers.) Mr. COTTINGIIAM proposed the health of Mr. Bag shawe, to whom they were indebted for his presence on that occasion, and for the manner in which he had discharged the duties of Vice-President. Mr. BAGSHAWE returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then gave, " The Members for the County."—(Drank with three times three.) Mr. CAVENDISH acknowledged the toast, and said it was a gratification to him to be present at the meeting. At the last annual meeting held at Bakewell, he (Mr. Caver dish) told them that he was about to try several experiments, the result of which he would make known to them. The reservoir was one; another was the experiment of feeding sheep in sheds upon gorse. The latter, in a pecuniary point of view, did not answer just then, for the butcher said that as potatoes were scarce the sheep were so fat that nobody would like to eat them, and therefore they were not "a marketable commo dity "—(Laughter.) He did not, however, despair. Potatoes were now more plentiful, and his fat mutton would be in request.—(Laughter.) The manure from the sheep was very valuable, and the effects of it might be seen in the appearance of a portion of his turnip crop. Indeed, on asking his bailiff what he thought of the manure, he replied, "It really looks beautiful, it is like spicepudding " (Much laughter.) And now a word as to the utility of societies like this. Some persons thought that they were produc tive of no good, and that the premiums awarded did not induce a better system of breeding or farming. He (Mr. Cavendish) agreed with the objectors, that if a farmer would not farm better for his own pocket he would not be induced to do so for the sake of a prize ; but it must certainly be considered an advan tage that landlords and tenants should assemble: to. gether for the interchange of sentiment, and in order that they might profit by the lesson of experience communicated one to the other.—(Hear, hear.) The Times and some other London journals, which he supposed were in this " dead season " hard up for matter, were busily engaged pointing out the absur dity and inutility of these meetings, but he (Mr. Ca vendish) doubted whether the gentlemen who penned these articles knew much about the subject upon which they wrote.—(Laughter.) With their permis sion he would now propose the health of a gentleman present, who had risen entirely by his own energies to a position of great celebrity, and who, in fact, had earned a European reputation—Mr. George Stephenson.—(Much applause.) Mr. Stephenson had not only benefited his native country, but the world, by the introduction of railways ; and he now settled down in the immediate neighbourhood of Chesterfield to enjoy the well-earned fruits of a life of unwearied activity.—(Applause.) To-day he ap peared among them as a cultivator of the peaceful art of agriculture. He might be seen in the show-yard examining the implements, pointing out improve• m eats, and bringing to bear, for the benefit of farmers, his great mechanical powers. He also exhi bited a very fine horse, which had been greatly admired ; and now they had the pleasure of his society at dinner. After some further remarks, the Honourable Gentleman concluded by drinking Mr. Stephenson's health, which was responded to by three times three. • • Mr. STEPHENSON returned thanks, and then pro ceeded to direct attention to drainage and to bis theory of the action of light upon plants, and the mode in which it penetrated the earth. ina.lt this the cause of the great production of the . year ?

However, I have been requested to propose a toast—a request which I the more readily accede to, inasmuch as the sentiment I have selected is one which I am sure will meet with a cordial response from every individual in the room. It is "Prosperity to the Town and Trade of Chesterfield." —(Applause.) Gentlemen, although my toast is not immediately connected with the objects of this association, yet I trust you will bear with me if I vesture to make one or two remarks ~~ °~ 1~,-~~ t~v EXTRAORDINARY L OF CONVICT In consequence of the crow, _ Ne wgate, - 1.30 convicts have been removed durizz the session to elate Millbank Penitentiary, es a ttnaporary.dotnicile, prepavatory to the final disposal of- them by Govern ment.-- It is not intended that those for seven sears should be' sent beyond the sea, but to the different hulks and other prisons, where they can be put to beneficial employment.

On Thursday morning a riot broke out among the miners and colliers in this district, which at onetime threatened very serious consequences, but which, we. are glad to state, has been put down without loss of life. It appears that the colliers in this district have been standing still some time, in consequence of the strike which took place a short time ago, on the resolution of the masters to reduce the wages from is. to 4s. a day. The masters, finding that the men would not resume work except at the old rates, have been engaging new hands in their places, which caused much excitement and indignation amongst their old hands. Eveiything however, went on peaceably until Thursday morning, when, on several of the " nobs,' as the new men are termed ' by the strike hands, leaving Beith for the Glengarnock coal-pits, where they were employed, they were attacked at Langburn' near the incline bridge, by about forty of the old hands, and after a fight, which - lasted for a considerable time, were compelled to . ..betake themselves to flight, but not oefore some of, them received serious injuries. One young man, in retreating, fell, and was overtaken oy the other party, who attacked him in the most terocion; manner, breaking his arm in two places, and leaving him for dead on the ground. Another man, not satisfied with this, gave him a severe blow on the head with a bludgeon, which cut his head open, and left him senseless. The poor fellow was afterwards taken home to his mother's house in 13eith, where he still lies in a very precarious con dition. Another young man had his arm severely injured by a blow, as he says, of a hammer; and the man by whom he was struck is known, and no doubt will be apprehended, and receive the just punishment for such conduct. The party afterwards dispersed across the country. As soon as the news of the out break reached Mr. Jack, the manager at the Kil bernie Iron Works, he set off for Beith, accompanied by Mr. Gray, the underground manager, and on his arrival he had a consultation with the Sheriff of Ayr, which resulted in a determination to call out the yeomanry cavalry in support of the civil authorities. As Mr. Jack and Mr. Gray were proceed ing from Beith to Dairy they were met by a strong gang of the " turn-outs," who had previously as saulted and much ill-used Peter Hutchinson, the Dairy policeman, and rescued a prisoner. Had they not been mounted, there is little doubt but that they would have fallen a sacrifice to the lawless mob, but they put spurs to their horses and galloped .off, escaping without any serious injury. Great i d e i x s c tr it excite ment prevailed in the differen t towns in ~the s _ ar as s i ve during the day, but no further violence, aav can learn, was resorted to. troops of the yeomanry of W.

The oc currence took place about 300 yardi on the London side of the Wimbledon station. A. fog prevailed at the time, and it appears that the up goods train, due at Nine Elm s terminus between three and four o'clock, had, when it arrived at the above spot, been stopped by an accident. The carriages came uncoupled, the engine proceeding on with about three-fourths of the train, and leaving nine or ten trucks or vans behind. It is said that the en gine-driver proceeded straight to Nine Elms before the fact was noticed, while another statement is, that thosecar riages were necessarily left behind, the engine not having sufficient power to propel the entire train. In one of those left behind was one of the guards, named W. Sawyer, who is supposed to have been asleep. At nearly four o'clock, the Metropolitan police on duty near the railway heard a loud crash in the direction of the line, followed by shrieks and cries of human beings. Sergeant Golding, 30 V, and a body of constables were soon on the spot, and having roused up the station, agent, policeman, and porter, who were in bed, they hastened to the scene of the accident, when it va l i found that the up mail train, which consisted a n i no carriages, propelled by the Hornet, a very powerful en gine, had run in upon the vans and trucks with such velocity and force, so as to almost double up and crush in the end and two following ones, and strew the line with fragments. Neither the Hornet engine; the driver, the fireman, nor the guards and Passengers were, sin gular to state, injured; but on the vans and trucks being searched by Mr. Bradford (tho agent), .the guard, (William Sawyer) was found double against a chest, with a load of goods bearing him down. The poor fellow had evidently made desperate struggles to ex tricate himself, but was unable to do so, and was crushed to death. The body was removed ,to the Dog and Hare, Wimbledon, to await an inquest. The de ceased had been a guard about twelve months, and was twenty years of age. The Dowager Countess of Verulam and. the Dowager Countess of Caledon arrived at Caledon-hill last week. It is expected that Lord and Lady Caledon will have a visit very shortly from their noble relatives, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the Countess of Glaroutions—Vanner of //liter. ii s.
