At the ordinary HALF - YEA RLY MEETING of the PROPRIE TORS,,, held on the 2 4 th day of August, let 47, at the Exchange Dail, No ttingham, for the purpose of receiving a statement of the pre -I,ieedingn of the Directors and the Accounts of the Company, W. F. • Norton, Esq., in the chair, The following REPORT was read by t he Secretary:—Since the l ast ordinary meeting of the Proprietors , your Directors have con !stetea with Mr. Wythes for the formation of that p ortion of t he line between Bottesford and Grantham , in cludin g the ~ `..orierby-hill Tunnel, and the Canal Branch (ab out eigmt miles), and the works are progressing to the satisfaction of your Directors. They have also been ealled upon by the Mid l a nd Com p any to fulfil th eagreement entered into for the joint construct ion of the four miles west of Nottingham to Bulwell, which will effect a large say ing to this Company. , Your Directors have not deemed it prudent to enter into a n y other ec uetiatraets, er to incur and other liabilities, in consequence of the trio rY pressure, and also from an assurance given at the la st ordi nary meeting that no further call should be made before the pre - ent meeting, when your opinions 'nig q, be consulted and directio.is taken. earllestPletin At the same time your Directors have no hesitation in de claring that the true interests of the Company will be best promoted able to g the line between Nottingham and Grantham at the P er iod ; and they regret that by this delay they will be un their avail themselves of the summer months for the formation of ewnp . w an o y ri been the advantag e of the 3 . which would have greatly to On the first appli ca tion to Parliament for the construction of this Ta aY, the Midland Company were large shareholders , a nd bein g oth erwise interested, it was not thought advisable to incur the ex- Zrtu as tt 6 la h t . a e e fo of r making a separate station, wharfs, &c., at Nottingham, and powers in the original Act were taken for that purpose ; Dire ct C ompany subsequently withdrew their connexion, your last. appliedorantiAer„the sanction of the half-yearly meeting in February thew p.,,,,,er.roiveterunament to deviate the line, and by increasing As the Company,:terzi independent position. about two miles, the would have to pass over the Lincoln line after the rate of six miles. Midl and.l. Company b had the power to charge another important desideratu m —and relieved from that heavy toll was the purchase of the Nottingttamm7 and though the Company by - accommodation of the tot ‘. II of Cana l had the best depot for the chant, yet no independent Se ems was secured. Under these circum stanceseec your Directors deemed At advisable to apply to Parliament to they congratulate the Sharehoh.ers in having the above objects, and Y so met your Direc tors upon terms greatly to the advantage of the Com pany, introduced into Parliament, the :Midland c omp ': of each the Bill had been cocropnosreantmete e d .n eit'. e ol ir B otiations, repeal so tors in a very liberal and friendly spirit, and after miles Ala agreement was entered into under Company thei r Company, by which the Midland much of the Lincoln Act as enabled them to charge the rate, and a clause to that effect has betas introduced into amended Act, by which this Company pay a mileage only, have also agreed to provide the necessary stations and other acco The y modation for the passengers and tra ffi c, both at Nottingham :Ind- Ambergate, the extent and terms to be arranged by a Director ap pointed from each Company, and in case of difference, to be settled by an umpire. In consequence of this agreement your Directors only proceeded to obtain powers for the construction of the Branch to the Canal Wharf 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 ins- Portance and advantage to the Company. The most convenient stations and ample accommodation for passengers and merchandize will be provided, both at Nottingham and Ambergate, and the saving to the outlay of capital, as well as time and the convenience to the public will be greatly effected. As the traffic in coal, corn, cattle, a nd helm) goods, according to the estimates proved, will be very large, the advantage obtained by the possession of the Canal Wharf is of the first consideration, as it gives to this Company the best trading position in the town of Nottingham, which could not other 'wise have been secured, except at an enoreous sacrifice of money. The future prosperity and almost vitality of the line were most tdoeCely set.eked during the last session 01 Parliament, by the Great Ntathtc , rlt ant Eastern Counties Companies. The forme r p ro j ected Vial tetra Illeibuton on the Boston loop to Moughtou MW, norti4 N®, 17,166.] LONDON, T LEsDA_Y EVENING 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 Street 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 Boston, and render the branch to the quay, at that place. almost use'ess. The Great Northern wise, 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 had it been successful. In accordance, however, with their duties and the active vigilanea your Directors have ever 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 meet complete success, having thrown out all the Bills except the last, which was so modified as to make the junction at Grantham more advautageous, and, at the same time, more independent. Clauses hare been inserted in that Act empowering the two Compa nies to make a joint station, aid 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 las part of that district has been infringed upon—ail 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 Counties. In fixing the station of their Wisbeach and Spalding line at the latter place, they have adopted your site, and an agreement has been entered into for the construction of such station at the joint expense, of the two 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 -palding and Wisbeach, the terms and details of which are 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 intimate union, and which agreement will be submitted to the Special General Meet ing en 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.

Gentlemen,—l now beg leave to report to you the progress since the last half yearly meeting. The contract for six and three-quarters miles from Bettesford to Grantham, including the Gonerby 11111 Tunnel, was commenced on the 15th of March, the contractor being then put in possession of some portion of the land. The whole of the land for this contract is now obtained, and the contractor is at work on every part. More than five miles of the c,ntract length is fenced in, ant the remainder of the fencing will be shortly completed. About 200,000 cubic yards have been got out of the excavations and put into the embankments, which completes more than one third of the earth-work. Nine bridges are built, with the exception only of the parapets, and nearly all the necessary culverts are put in. In the Gonerby Hill Tunnel 420 yards of the heading are driven ; the side lengths of four shafts, and one shaft length, making forty ards of the tunnel is bricked, and the remaining portion is proceeding rapidly. Two miles of the line are formed ready to receive the ballast and permanent way, and about 500 yards of single line are laid down.. A great quantity of ballast is also provided, and ou the ground. A considerable quantity of permanent materials have been de lvered. There are now employed upon the works 729 men and 109 horses. have great pleasure in stating that the works now done by the contractor are executed in a good. substantial, and workmanlike manner, and I am well satisfied with the exertion used by the con tractor In pushing on the works. The whole of the plans. sections, and drawings for Contracts Nos. 2 and 3 are ready. Contractors are preparing their estimates to tender for these works, which may be let any day after the 24th of this month. One of these contracts will commence near Nottinghara, by a Junction with the Lincoln line, at Colwick, and will include the bridge over the river Trent, and extend to Contract No 1, at Bot tesford ; and the other will commence at Grantham, and extend to the junction of the Sleaford Branch, making a total distance from Colwick, near Nottingham, of twenty-three miles, including the first contract. The whole of the 'bee to Boston is staked out, as well as the line to Spalding and the Branch to Sleaford, the pl .ns, sections, and drawings for these different contracts will be next proceeded w th. On that portion of the line from Nottingham to Bulwell, which is making jointly with the Midland Counties, Nottingham, and Mans field Railway Company, a distance of four miles, several bridge 4 are now building, the fencing and earthwork of the line are advancing satisfactorily.

' One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right deternt:ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em :duet the latter.

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.

RAILWAY SHARES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Having observed in your journal of Friday's date a letter from one of your correspondents, eau• tioning the holders of railway property not 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 been made by operators who have had neither the will nor the a bility 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 st , ld, 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 charge 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 Manchester, se S p T t. O 2 C S K , 18 E 4 X . 7.CHANGE THE CHINZSE MUSEUM, Bow.—On Saturday last upwards of 600 children, belonging to the school of George Green, Esq., at Poplar, were admitted gratuit ously to the Chinese exhibition, on the invitation of the proprietor. The young folks went to and from the collection 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 after leaving a few other legacies, amounting to about 1001., has left the remainder to a female ac quaintance. MADEMOISELLE DELUZY.—The investigation into the affair of Aladile. Deluzy in still going on. Several witnesses have been interrogated, and commissions to ex amine have been forwarded to se veral tribunals in the co untry, and especially i to that of Melun, to inquire into ma tters anterior th the period of the c rime, and con n cted 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, ste ill, and economical effects of the g othere ae-1 udg ws, has b s, een and thje to a ward, d by Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. John Cheine Shepherd, farmer, 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 rectioni6t, 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 11,500 1 ., or nearly 1,000/. 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, during 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 25.000/. and upwards to the ure venue a ccount last hal f- y ear, will be able to pay their u s ua l dividend of fo ur p er cent. :per annum for the six months, without fslling back on the resources made avai!able both by themselves and the London and North- Western Company last half-year. EXTRAORDINARY HIGH. TlDES.—Since Sunday noon there have been three very high tides, which have overflowed all the unprotected parts of the river side, and in so me 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.E, 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 Batik were paid to about fifteen tradesmen of that town, in the course of business, by different parties. Some of these daring swindlers, in order to accomplish their purpose, assumed an unlit of remarkable difficul t y in bein g p leased with the qly of the goods according to the price asked; evincing, at the saute time, a reluctance to purchase, with the view of eluding suspicion en the part of the seller.—Sliegie ld Times.

SIT Ng SEPTEMi3ER 28, 1847. NORTH DERBY AGRICULTUL 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., AV. H. De Rodes, Esq., E. G. Maynard, Esq., H. Bowden, Esq., J. Thompson, Esq. (Stubbing Court), George Stephenson, Esq , &c. 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. 'NETT returned thanks: He was sorry and disappointed at not seeing a more extensive show. A few years ago, when he (Mr. 'nett) 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.) Tben 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 beets 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. COTTINGHAM 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. Cavendish) 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 consi dered 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 benefite d 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• ments, 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 his theory of the action of light upon plants, and the mode in which it penetrated the earth. What was the cause of the great production of the soil this year ? They had had less cloud and more light than for some years, and without light the plants would not flourish abundantly. A great va riety of opinions existed about draining, some advocating deep, others shallow draining. He contended that some knowledge of geology was necess ar y to drain properly, for various lands required different treatment. .Gene rally speaking he thought drains from vasteheen inc . es to two feet were deep enough, and he of opinion that light soils were frequently drained. too much. The Magistrates for the He concluded by proposing " county."—(ApPlause.) Mr. BAGSUAWE, as the senior magistrate present, responded. Mr. JAMES BROTHERTON rose to propose the next toast. He said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, if' your illustrious guest, Mr. Stephenson, thought it necessary to apologise for addressing an assemblage of farmers, on the score that he was but young in the craft, how much more necessary must it be for me to apologise who am not a farmer at all. 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 L venture to make one or two remarks ,AL [PR7:I3B SD. upon the state of your society, whose anniversary . we are met to celebrate this day. My right-hand neigh bour,,, in responding to the toast of " T he Jud g es, took occasion to advert to the panic which the late and some previous legislative changes bad 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 derive 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— (llear, 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 da'ly 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 tin 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. lie entered upon the farm, and it is now known as the best cultivated farm in the district, and an example to every one who 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 again reverting 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'clocl, the chair was taken by the Right Rev. Dr. Morris Bishop of Troy, who addressed the meeting in it speech of considerable length, and supported the 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 allegiance 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 Lion 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 Kin g of Sardinia and Prince Leopold, Duke of Tuscany, in volunteering their assistance to sec ond the Pope's exertions, was moved by T. P. Healey, Esq., and seconded by Ber nard Duffy, Esq. All the resolutions p assed unani mously. A vote of thanks having be en awarded to the Chairman, the meeting separated. DETERMINED SUICIDE THROUGH EXCESSIVE m D e ß r in ch ed ant il s en cl r e y rk ?eorge committeda DnixxiNci.—On Sunday evening, about six o'clock, a young formerly man , a Hackett, w desperateho waset of suicide while labouring under intoxication. The de ceased was the sou of a gentleman of fortune, residing at N . o. 24, Beaumont street, Mile-end, and had for some time given much uneasiness to his family and friends in consequence of his dissipated habits. kahort time ago his parents made him a present of a considerable sum of money to enable him to make a country tour and to get rid of his old association s, but . instead of quitting London he commenced a c ourse of intoxication. For c ont inually days preceding h a s he had been lmc_•st continuadi lly intoxicated. On Sunday afternoon he frequently his father's servant to fetch some brandy, and no rected sooner was the bottle emptied than it was replenished. About six o'clock in the evening the deceased ordered the servant to fetch more brandy, but his mother for bade her doing so, and told the girl to say that she was engaged, On communicating the message to the de ceased, he said, " I'll soon settle that," and immediately threw up the window of his room, on the third story fronting the street, and precipated himself out. Ile fell upon the pavement, and when he was raised from the ground his body was in a mutilated condition. He lingered for a few hours, and expired from the injuries he had received. The unfortunate man was only 24 years of age. MILITARY MOVEMENTS. —The first division of the 43d Light Infantry, for some months past quartered in the garrison of Portsmouth, marched out under the command of Major Ford, and left by the South- Western Railway, en route to Newport, Wales. The head quarters division, consisting of three companies, will l e ave this morning for the same destination, under the command of Colonel Forlong, K.H., commandant of the regiment ; and the remainder will leave to-morrow and Thursday, under the commands of Majors Brune anti Fraser. During their sojourn in the garrison of Ports mouth this gallant regiment has distinguished itself b) its uniform good conduct and orderly behaviour, and leaves highly respected by the inhabitants. M. Frederic Soulie, the author of a great number of very popular French novels, died on Thursday, afte r a long illness, at Biavre, n ear Paris . On Saturday his remains were transported from B evre to Paris. On Monday, the 27th, the funeral ceremony was to take place in the church of St. Elizabeth, Rue du Temple. The committee of the Society of Men of Letters named a deputation to attend the . funeral service of the. M.S ocie ty o Salvand)t was requested to speak the name Men of Letters, and M .

In consequence of the crowded state of Neivgate, 130 convicts have been' removed during the session to the Millbank Penitentiary, as a temporary domicile, preparatory to the final disposal of them by Govern ment. It is not intended that those for seven years should be sent beyond the sea., but to the different hulks and 'other 'prisons, where they can . be put to beneficial employment. Those for above that period will, some of them, be drafted to the Model Prison,. Pentonville, where they will .be taught a trade ; and should their behaviour he of a satistactory nature, some of them will be sent to Australia or New Zea land as free convicts, where the Government will provide means to place them on a level with the emi grants.

On Thursday morning a riot broke out among the miners and colliers in this district, which at one time 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 wagea from ss. 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. Everything 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 by the other party, who attacked him in the most terocious 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 Beith, where he still lies in a very precarious con lition. 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 countty. As soon as the news of the out break. reached Mr. Jack, the manager at the Kll.- bernie Iron Works, he set off for Beith , accom p anied by Mr. Gray, the underground manager, and on his arrival he had a consultation w ith t he Sheriff of Ayr, which resulted in a determination to call out the yeomanry cavalry in supp ort 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," w ho 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 escaping without any serious injury. . Great excite ment prevailed in the different towns in the district during the day, but no further vio lence, as far as we can learn, was reso rted to. Y e sterday the Ayr o tr f oo ‘ p v s . of the Patrick, an t r' sci c i a o v i alr N 3, v , o u od nd si e d r e, the and assembled dat Dairy, and the Beith troop also met at Btith ; they were also supported by dvtachinents of police from Ayr and Glasgow , and the imposing appearance they presen ted deterred the rioters from resuming their unprovoked attacks, although large parties of them w ere perambulating the di ff erent towns during the day. Up to seven o 'clock last night no further out break, as far as we could learn, had occurred. There was a rumour . prevalent yesterday that one man had fallen a sacrifice to the passions of the infuriated mob; but, from inquiries we have made, we have reason to believe that there is no foundation for the report. The masters have resolved not to set the men to work again until Monday, by which time there will be a sufficient force assembled to give them effectual irotection.—North British Mail. William Thompson, Egg , Alderman, Christopher Name, Esq., and John Gelnbrand Hubbard, Esq., are ;he gentlemen recommended by the Court of Directors Bank of England t o tiil the vacancies in the odifrethcte ionoccasioned by the election of Henry James Prescott, Esq., as Deputy-Governor, and by the retire ment of Sir John Rae Reid, Bart., and Abel Lewes Gower, Esq.,who have disqualified. FATAL COLLISION ON THE SODTH-_WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Saturday moaning, about four o'clock, a collision occurred between the up mail train and a por tion of the goods train, which resulted in the destruction of three or four of the trucks of the goods train, and the loss of life of one of the guards of that train. The oc currence took place about 300 yards 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 Elms 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 those car 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, 30V, 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 was found that the up mail train, which consisted of nine 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 ;ular to state, injured; but on the vans and trucks aeing searched by Mr. Bradford (the 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 gu a rd about twelve months, and 'was twenty years of age. -- The Dowager Countess of Verulara and the Dowager Countess of Cakdou arrived at Caledon•hill .ast week.
