The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na tional le tan Fund Life Assurance Society, for, the better advance meat of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received the approbation of a considerable body cf the active members and officers of those Institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to establish a Branch Office in connexion with those Societies and the Operative Classes generally, in which their services might be successfully en gaged, a Committee has been sanct ion e d by the Directors to open communication with the different Societies, with the view of mere effectually d sseminating the valuable benefits amongst the indus trio-us classes, and a play: has been imposed with that object. ADDREeS OF THE COMMITTEE. Many praiseworthy but ineffectual attempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of mortality and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal culations regulatiwg thei r deAribution, having for their object either Immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstri e that the con struction of these associetions or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, which should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the channel through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in proportion as their action Is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is imited. For example, it is not to every individual, or to every c l ass amongst the industrious community, that provision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecnniary sacrifice ; wht e to others such a provision appears more attractiv. , and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the ass:Tiation of two dissimilar functions, and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick ress-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional iseso elation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is ntiutually exercised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it. But the sarae perfection, or the same securitT, is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated throat • a succession of years, and where results are to bear oat calculi '5, money investment being in general beyond the experience 1 4 e, . industrious classes. tor these reasons it is clear that the fa . ed for arprorision in -iicitnesi should be kept entirely distissat;trobi the fund Intended as a provision for old age :- Ist. Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and individual irre sponsibility, and more exposed ti a failure in the performance of such a contract, that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial bodies. 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when welted in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impre , sed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have had several meetings, with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy for these and other evils ; and in this manner to give an additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search amon!st the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal in simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan. is proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency of abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the ether pa - t of the plan itself, without being fully sit'isflea that the conven once and safety of Friendly and leenefit societies will be g r e atly secured and consulted , by separating the payment of a sick allowance from an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate office for the transactions of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious clan-es in general, resolations have been entered into, con stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed prospectu., under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected wills the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, APRIL 6.—The m( asures recently adopted by the Bank of England, and alluded to in the Guardian of Saturday last, have entirely changed the tone of our market. The refusal on the part of the directors to make advandes on the deposit of Img dated paper in the hands of bill-brokers, having in creased the difficulty of discounting or negotiating paper from hdia, the purchases which were making for that market have been arrested ; and though prices are tolerably firm, the demand has been very limited, espe cially for yarns, in which the business done has been xceedingly small. It is understood that some of the spinners who have been recently working short time are about to close their mills altogether. Indeed, the recent advance in the cotton market, unattended by any cor responding increase in the prizes of goods and yarn, places both spinners and manufacturers in a worse con dition that at any former p er i o d ; an d unless some fa vourable change should sp ee dily ta ke place, a very large cessation of employment ma y b e ex pected. At present there seems no prospect of a d e cli n e in the cotton mar ket. Indeed, yesterday, th er e wa s considerable excite ment at Liverpool, in conse quence of the arrival of later news from the United St a t es by w ay of Havre; from which it appears that th ere h a d b e en a decided falling off in the arrival of cotton a t the ports during t he week ending the 10th March.

The va riation of a single week seems a rather slender founda tion for a revival of speculation; but, in the present sen sitive state of the cotton market, very small causes are , ufficient to produce either an advance or a decline in prices. RoesDALE; MortnAT ArikrL 5. - -Vie depression in the flannel market still continues, and the business transacted in wool has been upon a very limited scale. Some of the extensive buyers have not attended ; but a few of the large manufacturers have been purchasing in anticipa tion of the Government orders. HALIFA IC,SATURDAY, APRIL 3. —ln the piece hall to-day, there was hut a slender attendance of buyers, and few goods changed hands ; but we understand that there is rather more doing in the warehouses. There is an improve ment in the dema - td for yarn ; and spinners are unwil ling to accept contracts for future deliveries, of any amount, at old prices, though an advance can scarcely yet be obtained. As to long wool, in super qualities there is a good demand, with a slight improvement in price. Low qualities remain as before, though the stock is coming down in the local markets. Ia short wool there is no alteration. LEEDS, Tuesnev, APRIL 6.—There has been a fair business d iing to day at our cloth halls, and some ex tensive purchases were made last week in middle fine cloth ; so that the improved feeling of our markets in fully supported. Foreign wools sell easier than for some Lime past, but prices rule proportionably low. Some ap • prehen.,ions are en►ertained as to the effect of the last regulations of the Bank of England concerning the die c,iuntino• houses, but it is hoped the discretionary power of the Beals will not be exercised against bona fide trade hills, which our merchants have often to draw on such houses.—Manchester Guardian.

These Scrip purport to be under the hands of two of the Directors and the Treasurer of the Company ; and, so far as the Directors are at present aware, the forged Scrip are confined to Certificates of one Share each. The Directors think it right instantly to issue this notice, that parties dealing in the Scrip may be put on their guard as to the per sons by whom, and the circumstances under which, sales may be offered. The Directors have satisfaction in noticing that there is every reason to believe that the forgery has been committed by persons wholly unconnected with the Company.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about tour months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Its. bottle if they were as curtain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it i s t ar beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure In answering any lady of respectability to the above fact , re .-3. Swan-stet ' itoroagh." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak , or turning grey, a few drops el the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and Irevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drons on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing It to curl. The most delicate ladies niay use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases o f nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the erown of the heft i ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes.

A Bill with the above title has been introduced in the Lords by the Lord Chancellor ; subjoined is an abstract of its provisions :- CLAUSE 1. Declares that the object of the Act is to " grant facilities for the sale of estates situate in that part of Great Britain and Ireland called Ireland, which may be charged with iocumbrances, or subject to trusts authorising or requiring sale ;" and the fol lowing words shall be taken in the extended or res tricted sense expressly attached to them in this clause : Lands Manors, advowsons, rectories, messuages, lands, tenements, tithes, rents, and hereditaments of any te nure, and whether corporeal or incorporeal, and any undivided share thereof.-Estate.

It is de clared that the Act shall operate as well with respect to any estate or incumbrance created before as after the passing of the A3t. 2. Under the provisions of this Act the owner of any land or estate in land in Ireland subject to in cumbrance, may (subject to the approbation of Court) contract for the sale of a part of it, freed from such incumbrance; any owner or incumbrancer may, without having so contracted, apply for sale of whole or part of such land or estate; if an incumbrance affect less than the whole estate of the owner, but affect an estate carved out of it of not less than fifty years unexpired at the time of contract or sale, the power of sale shall extend to the whole estate. 3. The owner or incumbrancer contracting for sale, or desirous to sell, may apply to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland to confirm the contract or sale, the petition and all subsequent petitions in the case being enti tled ex parte the petitioner "in the matter of the Act for facilitating the sale of encumbered estates in Ireland." 4. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland, with the ad vice and Consent of the Master of the Rolls, may make rules or orders for carrying this Act into effect; the rules and orders to be laid before Parlia ment. 5. lie may, with the advice and consent, alter or rescind former rules or orders. 6. Upon presentation of the petition, the Court may, without the attendance of counsel, refer the same to a Master in Chancery; who shall inquire into the particulars and report. 7. Such land may he sold freed from her Majesty's title, as authorised by 4 and 5 Wm. IV. c. 92. 8 All laws, rules, orders, and discretionary power, and practice in force with respect to proceedings in court for fore-closure or redemption of a mortgages and under a decree for sale of estates for payment of encumbrances or debts, not inconsistent with this Act or any rules made under it ; the court may apportion costs as it thinks fit, and order surplus moneys to be invested in land for the benefit of parties entitled to them; and all persons becoming parties are to be sub ject to the jurisdiction of the court. 9.

Parties disallowed to attend by the master may apply to the court against his decision within twenty one days, or if the court is not sitting, after giving notice within twenty-one days to the party petition ing for sale. 17. Where there is only one incumbrance the court shall not direct a sale without consent of the incum brancer, unless it consider the produce sufficient to pay the principal and arrears of interest, or sufficient (if the incumbrance is a re-purchasable annual charge) to pay re-purchase, arrears, and costs. 18. Where there is more than one incumbrancer, the first shall, for the purpose of giving consent, be considered the whole incumbrancer, reserving to the second a right to pay him off and become sole incum brancer. 19. When an incumbrancer is held subject to limi tation, or in trust, the first person entitled to the in come is the party to consent. 20. Where a person entitled to a charge, which is not an incumbrance in the meaning of the Act, is willing to accept a gross sum in satisfaction of it, the master may treat it as an incumbrance, and charge the portion of land which is not to be sold with it preferably. 21.

Where the estate is ordered to be sold the court may empower the master to include in his report other interests in the same estate. 34. Where the land to be sold is subject to a lease the master may apportion the rent of the sold and unsold parts, and all covenants of the lease shall re main in force as regards the apportioned parts except as to the amount of rent. 35.

When a petition for carrying into execution . a contract of sale has been presented w ithout the requi site consent, the consent may be given subsequently. SIR JOHN DAVIS TO THE CHINESE MINISTER. Victoria, Hong- Kong Jan• 22, 1846. I -have had the honour to receive your Excellency's note respecting the difficulties attendant on opening the city of Canton to British merchants. In the Treaty of Nanking, the second article states that "British subjects with their families and esta blishments shall be allowed to reside, for the purpose of carrying on their mercantile pursuits, without mo lestation or restraint, at the cities and towns of Can ton, Amoy, Foo-chow-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghae." Now, the treaty has already been equitably fulfilled at four of these ports, and Canton remains the only exception. Even at Foo-chow-foo, where difficulties were last year urged exactly similar to those alleged regarding Canton, your Excellency's Government has enforced the provisions of the treaty. In the first article of the Treaty of Nanking, it is stated that the subjects of our two Governments re spectively "shall enjoy full security and protection for their persons and property within the dominions of the other." It is a matter of high satisfaction to reflect that at four of the ports the greatest security and tranquil lity prevail. Even at Foo-chow-foo, where 1 had last year so much reason to complain, the people have been brought, in consequence of my representations, and by means of proper examples, to behave with perfect correctness towards foreigners. But, unfor tunately, at Canton the evil is far from being confined to a mere exclusion from the city. Your Excellency knows that the Vice-consul himself, a public officer, was wantonly and outrageously assaulted on the opposite side of the river, and no redress whatever has yet been afforded for that and another similar instance reported to me by the Consul. Your Excellency's long experience of public life must convince you that such a state of things cannot continue. At Canton was the origin of those troubles which were happily terminated by the peace ; and it is my wish for the continuance of our present friendly relations that makes me desirous to urge in the least unpleasant manner, and before it is too late, the com pletion of treaty engagements at Canton. In the twelfth article of the Treaty of Nanking it is expressly provided, that " the islands of Koolangsoo and Chusan will continue to be held by her Majesty's forces until the money payments and the arrange ments for opening the ports to British merchants be completed.'' In July, 1843, your Excellency addressed the an nexed paper to my predecessor, distinctly admitting the justice of opening the city of Canton in common with the others, and solemnly engaging that it should be done. I have myself repeatedly pressed this en gagement on your Excellency, and now urge it with the authority of my Government. Koolangsoo has already been delivered up; and her Majesty's forces will evacuate Chusan the moment some arrangement has been effected according to the treaty. Your Excellency is aware that scarcely any buildings whatever have been constructed at Chusan, in antici pation of its speedy evacuation. Adverting now to your Excellency's last note, the tumult in which the rabble attacked the Prefect of Canton's house is publicly and universally known to have originated in the undue severity exercised by that officer on an individual who impeded his way, and not in any rumoured attempts of foreigners to enter the city. I have gone to an extreme length in prohibiting British merchants and others from the exercise of their, just and admitted rights. But even supposing that such a tumult arose from a mere ru• moured attempt of foreigners to exercise a right secured by treaty, this only proves the extent of the evil to be remedied. The control of Chinese subjects belongs exclu sively to your Excellency's Government. I have only to require for British subjects those privileges and that protection which have been so often urged, and so long postponed— and having now received positive instructions from my Government, I cannot do otherwise than be guided by them. I take this occasion — to renew to your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration. J. F. DAVIS. (True copy) ADAM W. EMSLIE. COMMISSIONER KEYING TO SIR JOUR DAVIS. (Translation.--Extract.)_ - JULY, 1843. As to the free entry into Canton, the two nations are now at peace, without the slightest ground for jar or altercation • what difference, therefore, can there be between the inside and the outside of the city ? When, too, Ningpo, Foochow, Shanghae, &c., may be entered, why should Canton be solitary in this respect ? The evil is that the temper of the Canton population is so unlike that of the Chekiang and Kiangnan people. The former, since they have felt the misery and disasters of war, have been filled with consternation ; and, unsettled in mind, they are easily accessible to doubts and suspicions. The High Commissioner, on his first arrival at Canton, issued a proclamation earnestly and clearly ex horting them, and at that time hoped that the popular mind was becoming by degrees quieter. But, when returning from Hong-Kong, with a mind fully decided OA inviting, the Plenipotentiary to conference there, that he might in some measure exhibit his feelings towards him, he was to his astonishment saluted with representations from one Ho-Yushu, who, with more than eighty other of the gentry, joined in presenting addresses against his doing so, at the offices of himself, the High Commis sioner, and of all the principal offices. Though the High Commissioner admonished them face to face, and refused to receive their addresses, yet, observing day by day the actual disposition of the people, he finds their suspicions and surmises still unremoved. The High Commissioner has now, in conjunction with the Governor-General and Governor, commanded all local magistrates and other officers to adopt measures for inculcating a better spirit. And he only waits till the port is opened and commerce in progress, when all parties settling into a state of quiet, they shall meet together to consult within the city, whenever business may call them thither. If there be the slightest falsehood in this, may the Highest regard it ! POPE PIUS THE NINTH. To him who now wears the tiara a noble mission is confided. Gregory the Sixteenth, with all his re sistances, prejudices, and alarms, belongs to the times that were. Pius the Ninth has entered upon his high position with a true appreciation of the wants—the claims of the age. If he can resist the pernicious influences that will beset him, there will be no bounds to his popularity and power, not only in the States of Italy, but throughout Catholic Christianity. His disposition to advance will be favoui - ably contrasted with the determination to stand still, which was the law of his predecessor Italy wants a Sovereign who shall be the recipient of the public love, and 'tome has still links enough binding her to all the States around to give an intelligent Pontiff an immense authority. The other day I received from an Italian lady a lett....r written on a sheet, at the top of which, engraved in gold, was a portrait of the pre sent Pope. "See 1" said she, it is thus we commu nicate with one anoth e r, th us th a t we convey our gra titude for what the holy father is doing—our ex pectations of what he still may do." Under the guidance of a cultivated and civilised spirit, Rome itself may awaken from its slumbers. It has still within it some of the intellectual elements which made it great and glorious. Let any man cross the city into the Trans-Tiberian quarter (Tras tavere), and watch the countenances of those who still represent the citizens of ancient Rome—that portion of the population which is believed to have escaped the fusion which the various races which have from time to time invaded, possessed, and peo ple I the Italian provinces ; in the whole of that community, in the women especially, ha will find much to admire, and will not easily believe that any great degeneracy can have corrupted such a noble race. And it may be laid down as a safe posi tion, that where sound minds and fine physical powers are preserved, there is no cause to despair of the re demption of nations. The seed of greatness have not been wholly trampled down in Rome itself— there is still fire in the ashes.—Dr. Bowring, in Huwitt's Journal. Low TIDE IN THE THAMES.--Yesterday afternoon the ebb tide fell unusually low in the Thames, and many of the above -bridge steamers and craft grounded in the customary navigable channels of the river. From the shallowness of the water, steam-vessels were unable to bring up along4de the floating piers. At the Westmin. ter•bridge steamboat pier, Surrey side, three small steamers wero aground at the same time, to the great consternation of the numerous passengers on board. The German newspapers state that Professor Schonbein, the inventor of the cotton powder, has dis covered a new composition which produces the same effects as the inhalation of ether, without causing atty danger. The nature of the new invention is not de scribed. THE IRON TRADE. WOLVERHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—To day the s, cond of the quarterly meetings of the above trade as held at the Swan Hotel in this town, and was nu merously attended by the representatives of ull the large houses in the neighbourhood, and a'so by many gentle• men from a distance. It was reported that iron is at present in great demand, and many good orders on hand. There vt as consequently no attempt to reduce the prices, which stand as follow:—Pig iron, 51 to 51. 10s.; railway iron, 101. 10s.; and bar, 101 The following notice of the present state of the trade is from the Birmingham Gaze tte of Monday A general expectation seems to prevail that, exclu sive of railway supplies, a large drain upon our stocks of iron will take place on the return of the al mos t innume rable vessels now arrivingin our ports with cargoes of bread-stuffs. These stocks are by no means accumulat ing under the present demand, although an increase of produce in the manufacturing department has been car ried out to a great extent—as far indeed as the supply of materials will allow. This expectation, combined with the existing pressure of orders, Imparted a tone of cheer ful feeling at the preparatory meeting at the Hotel, Dudley, last week, when a resolution was passed unani. mously to the effect that the prices of iron should remain the same as last quarter. It appears, therefore, pretty certain that the full nominal price for manufactured iron, and the slight advance upon pigs that was established last quarter-day, will be easily sustained during the ap proaching quarterly meetings; and, under the adverse position of the general mercantile interests of the country, the satisfactory maintenance of existing prices may be considered equivalent to an advance under ordi nary circumstances, thus justifying the views hitherto taken by ourselves and many others, of the prospects of the trade, and the propri e ty o f b e ing provided with sup. plies of materials in anticipation of any movement that might take place of an upward tendency. An uneasi ness among the workm en i n t h e W e lsh districts has been manifested, and in a sli g ht d egree has contaminated this neighbourhood; but it has been met by determined mea sures of self-protection on the part of the masters, and with the prospect o f more moderate charges for pro visions, and the s ummer season at h an d, we do not think any general att empt to demand hi g her made." wages will be 1847.—The following is the House list of Governors and Directors of the Bank of England for the year ensuing : FOR GovinNonS.

SINGULAR SNOW PHENOMENON IN ORKNEY.—In the current number of the Philosophical Magazine, Mr. Clouston, of Stromness, relates a curious circumstance which, it appears, not only asto nished and perplexed the neighbourhood in w hi c h it occurred, but filled the superstitious with consternation. During one night a heavy fall of snow took place which covered the plain to a depth of several inches. " Upon this pure carpet," says the writer, " there rested next morning thousands of large masses of snow, which contrasted strangely with its smooth surface." These occurred generally in patches from one acre to a hundred in extent, while the clusters were often half a mile asunder. The fields so covered looked as if they hid been scattered over with cart loads of manure, and the latter covered with snow; but on examination the masses were all found to be cylindrical, like hollow fluted rollers, or ladies' swan clown muffi, bearing a strong resemblance to the latter. The largest measured was 3/ feet long, and 7 feet in cir cumference. The centres wero nearly but not quite hollow, and by placing the head within when the sun was bright, the concentric structure of the cylind,r was apparent. They did not occur in any of the adjoining parishes, and were limited to a space of about five miles. The first idea as to the origin of these bodies was, that they had fallen from the clouds, and portended some diroul calamity. But had they fallen from the atmos phere, their symmetry and loose texture must have b,•en destroyed. The writer having examined them, was soon convinced that they had been formed by the wind rolling up the snow, as boys form snow -balls. Their round form, concentric structure, fluted surfa.. e, and position with respect to the weather side of eminences proved this. A.l.d also from the fact of their lying lengthways, with the-ir sides to the wind ; and sometimes their tracts were visible in the snow for twenty or thirty yard s i n the IN indward direction, whence they had evidently ga thered up their concentric layers. ARSON.—COMMITTAL OF THE INCENDIARY.—ELT, APaIL 6.—At the Petty Sessions, held at the Crown Inn, Soham, on Saturday, before the Rev. H. Fardell, chairman, and other county magistrates, Sarah Munson underwent a final e xamination un th e c h arge of having wilfully fired the t o wn on the mornin g o f t h e 16th of last month. The prisoner was seen in the locality of the barn a short period before the outb rea k , , and from other was wa i t i n g outside the inn to hear the re sultcircumstances the Bench decided on committing her for trial at the ensuing summer assizes. During the investi• gation a sun of the prisoner, Josiah Munson, who was acquitted at the last !Wile at Cambridge on a charge of firing some buildings in the town in the early part of the gs against his mother, when the Ist of November, magistrates ordered him . into the room.

A vact improvement in agriculture was brought about by the there t ‘ n ol t u h t e ion se o le f l e 7 fh 89t,e immensewhich byabolishi abolishing gt of tithes, leading the an e properties clergy and nobility, in ordainingdivision of patrimonies amongst children ess entia l ly division of pat rimofl ies amongst children essentially changed the conditions of landed property, renderi ng it more free and accessible to the class of persons who w ere most ca pable of cultivating it to advantage. But during the convulsions of the revolution, it was impossible for agri culture to make progress in the new career that had been opened to it; under the directory, the consulate, and the empire, it had fewer difficulties to c onten d against. It was then directed and encouraged by one who knew it, both theoretically and practically_ Francois dos Neuf chateau, to whom we are indebted foe the establishment of departmental nurseries. N a . poleon also showed that he was disposed to encourage it, by directing the formation of several agricultural socie ties, enriching and enlarging the national garden, and creating several botanical or economical gardens. Still the wars of the empire retarded its progress. Its ad vance was more rapid after the restoratiou brought peace to France, and the old officers o the empire, turning their swords into ploughshares, shed cn their new pro fession the eclat of that which they had left; whilst they also introduced, new modes of culture, which had come under their notice in foreign countries. It was during this period that the school of Forestry was founded at Nancy in 1824, under Louis XVIII., and that the society' of horticulture was formed under the patronage of Charles X., during whose reign were also promulgated the Forest Code, and that in regard to river fishing. But the fallen dynasty being suspected of the design of re-establishing the aristocracy of the soil, found itself hampered in carrying out measures which would have been favourable to agriculture. Since the revolution of 1830. a greater freedom of action has been aequired; and it is since then that it has made the most rapid ad vances. Its progress has been such since 1789, that its produce has been increased forty per cent. The greatest share in this increase is attributable to the subdivision of the soil among a greater number of persons, who culti vate it, if not with greater science, at least with more energy, and a stricter regard to economy,—to the sale of the properties of the emigrants—to the reclamation of waste lands—to the general cultivation of potatoes, brought about chiefly . by the influence of Parmentier— to the ameliorations in the breeds of live stock, and the rearing of domestic animals—to the great increase of Merinos—and finally to the exertions of scientific agri culturists, especially Mathew de Bombes'°, to propagate sound agricultural doctrines. At the present day the onward movement of agriculture continues to take place on all the points of the territory, and is perhaps more rapid than in any other country. A FEW THINGS THAT OUGHT To BE KNOWN ABOUT THE NEW COUNTY COURTS. The jurisdiction of the Court extends to debts to the amount of 20L, and to Lulls and wrongs of all descrip tions where the damages are not hid above 51. l'hints of ejectment fur rents under 501. may also be brought before the Court. The following is a list of the Court fees on entering plaints. Cost of a summons if the defendant resides within one mile of the Court House :—For sums not exceeding 205., 91. ; for sums exceeding 20s. and not exceeding 405., Is. 4d., with an additional charge of 6d. iu the pound (being the general fund fee) ; if above 406. and not exceeding 51, 2s. 6d., besides the general fund fee, which is Is. in the pound on all sums above 40s. ; if above Si. and not exceeding 10/, 46. 10d. ; if above 10/., 75., if the action is founded on contract, and Bs. if it is founded on tort. The allowances to witnesses are as follow:—Gentle men, merchants, bankers, and professional men, 7s. 6d. a day ; tradesmen, auctioneers, accountant, clerks, and. yeouien, ss. ; journeymen, labourers, and the like, 2s. Travelling expenses, per mile, one way, 6d. The points most important to be observed by suitors are the following:— BT A PLAINTIFF. He must apply at the office of the Court to enter a plaint in a book to be kept. there. If the sum be above 6/., he must deliver as many copies of the partioulhrs of his demand, or cause of ac tion, as there are defendants. The plaintiff on entering the plaint will receive from t'e cl,rk a note, which must be produced on taking any mon,y out of Court, or he must procure the order of the judge for that purpose. The clerk will fill up the summons with a copy of the particulars. Every summons must be served ten clear days before the holding of the Court at which it is returnable, and must be served personally, or left with some person at defendant's dwelling-house or place of business ; but where it has not been served personally, and the de fendant does not appear, it must be proved that the ser vice has come to his knowledge ten clear days before the return. I the defendant pays any money into Court he must do so five clear days before the return of the summons. If plaintiff accepts the sum so paid in satisfaction, he must give the clerk and the defendant a written notice of it three clear days before the return of the summons. Tho action shall then be discontinued, and the plaintiff shall not be liable to any further costs. In default of the notice, the action will proceed ; and if the plaintiff do not appear at the hearing, he will be liable to pay the defendant's costs. BY A DEFENDANT. In case he has any set-off, he must give notice thereof in writing to the clerk, and deliver him two copies of the particulars thereof five clear days before the return of the summons. The like notice must be given of any special defence of infancy, coverture, statute of limitations, or his dis charge under the bankrupt or insolvent laws. . . . . In w debts exceeding 51. the party requiring a jury must give two clear days notice to the clerk before the retura of the summons. When an order is made for payment of money by in stalments, they are to be paid at the clerk's office, at such periods as the Court shall order; and if no order be made as to the periods of payments, the first instal ment is to become due at the expiration of one calendar month from the day of making the order, and the suc cessive instalments will be payable at intervals of one month from each other. Facilities are provided for enforcing claims by or against executors and administrators. A defendant can be examined as well as his wife.
