" THE FARMERS AND SIR ROBERT PEEL ---.-........__ on Tuesday last at the dinner of the Tamworth Far mer's Club, Sir Robert Peel presided and from his speech on the occasion we take the following extracts : —A friend of mine some time ago made a careful and impartial experiment with respect to the merits of a manure lately introduced, and of which you all must have heard--the guano. I desired him to communicate to me the result, which he did ; and you will perhaps excuse me for stating it to you. He planted potatoes on a piece of land about two acres ; the ridges were of the same length, the potatoes of the same quality, and the manure laid on in perfect fairness, the soil also being exactly the same. Three different manures were used -guano, stable manure, and Potter's manure. The produce of the several ridges was at length taken up, norm to no one ; but her situation is, perhaps, the one of i and the average result was, on equal proportions of land, all others needing circumspection, and the sooner she i nine bushel s t o t h e s t a bl e manure, eleven to the Potter ' s, meets with a Dick Robi n s th e b e tt er .

He was a very active and zealous magistrate, and from his extraordinary determination, nay, his downright heroism, was a most formidable person to all who meditated deeds of violence. He was a very large and heavy figure, possessed a cool and daring spirit, and with the exception of the King of the French, no man was, perhaps, so often attacked by dis tardly assassins ; but all parrallel ceases between Louis Phillippe and Mr. Low, when the fact is notic e d th a t t h e latter. riding amongst his foes without guards, and by himself alone, more than once captured his assailants, and brought them to the gallows they deserved. On one oc casion, in the noon-day, two strong and active peasants, armed with firearms, attacked him from behind a hedge. Nothing daunted, althoueh his mare was severely wound ed. he jumped off and crossed the fence. The men fled before him. and he gave chase, but being rather unwieldy he had little chance of catching them. He had pistols one of which he ineffectually discharged—they had guns which they reloaded. He was afraid to fire lest they should be beyond his reach, and when the men halted to fire again at him, he calculated that by running in on them even at the hazard of his life, he would still have a chance of capturing them. He did so—one of the men fired— missed—and ran away. On rushed Mr. Low, when the second assassin had discharged his piece without effect, though he grazed the shoulder of his dauntless pursuer.

He was in the house alone with a female servant, and previous to the attempt, locked the door and hid the keys. He then entered his bedroom, where he accomplished his purpose, and immediately came out streaming with blood, and the razor in his hand, with which he made an attempt to cut the throat of his servant also. She, however, wrested the instrument from him, not, however, before he was much weakened by the loss of blood, and had her hand severely cut. The inhabitants of the vicinity were made aware of the catastrophe by the loud screaa.s of the female, and her calls of " Help, help, burst open the door —be is dying—he is dying—he is dead." The servant was seen at a window, struggling with her master, and partly outside, upon an iron balcony. Some persons immediately broke open the panels of the door ; but by this time the life of the unfortunate gentleman was at the last ebb from loss of blood.—Edinburgh Evening Post. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEON S.—This institution has obtained a new charter of incorporation, with increased powers, under the title of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The principal features thereof consist in the creation of a new class of members, to be called fel lows, Rho, with the of those first elected, must be 25 years of age, pass a special examination, and pay an admission fee of 30 guineas. To this body is to be in trusted the election of the council, which is to consist of 24 members, three of whom (those who have been longest on the council) are to go out of office annually, but are eligible for re-election. No general practitioner, even if he be a fellow, is eligible for the council, nor any pure surgeon who resides beyond five miles from the General Post-office. Should any councillor practice pharmacy or midwifery, he becomes ipso facto liable to removal from the council. The present members of the council are to be life members, and ►o be at once admitted as fellows, the specific number of 300 being made up by their selec tion from among the members. If any vacancy occur during the year, a substitute shall be elected to hold office for the- remaining term of duty of the person whose place he supplies. The election of councillors must be by the personal voting of the fellows, 15 of whom must be pre sent to form a meeting, if any eligible fellow be twice passed by, or, when ballotted for, not be elected, he will lose his eligibility of election. A certificate of recommen dation, signed by a given number of fellows, stating that the candidate is a fit and proper person to be a member of the council, and particularly that he does not now, nor has within five years, practised pharmacy or midwifery, and resides within five miles of the General Post-office, is requisite previous to election. The present court ofi examiners to continue for life, their places being filled up, as vacancies occur, by the council. The privilege of the sergeant-surgeons, and the surgeon•general of the forces, to be admitted examiners in preference to others, is abro gated by this charter.

In 1836, Donald Matheson, a small farmer residing in Strathconan, having lost some of his sheep by death and other causes, applied for ad vice to a divining woman or sorceress, named Catherine Beaton, the wife of a sawyer at Dingwall. He travelled thirty miles on this important mission, and Mrs. Camp bell having duly weighed the circumstance of the case, told him that there was great trouble coming to his house, through a woman who lived in his neighbourhood, and who had consulted Miss Hay of Inverness—a ohce noted sor ceress—for means to carry out her intentions. Fortunately, however, Mrs. Campbell could avert the machinations of all wicked women, and the means were very si mp l e. " Bring me a p oun d note," she said, " I will tie it up in a parcel, which you must take home, and your wife must place is. under her pillow while she sleeps. After this re turn to me with the pared. when you will get the pound note as good as before.' 7 'Donald immediately borrowed the money from a meal dealer, and delivering it to the skilful woman, had it " charmed," and tied up. He trudg ed homewards, plumping himself on his sagacity and foresight, and his wife duly slept on the packet as desired. In a day or two, however, female curiosity got the better of her superstitious dread, and she opened the mysterious packet. The pound note was gone, and in its place were found some sand, rags, and a piece of paper. Donald then returned to Dingwall to claim his money, but the sorceress was inexorable—nothing could be obtained from he:. The " charm " was unavailing and the money was gone. Another deception was practised by Mrs. Camp bell. A widow in Lochbroom, named Elizabeth Murchi son, about ten or eleven weeks ago, lost a sum of two pounds. She cons u lted the di v i ner as to the restoration of her mon e y, w h en s h e was t o ld to provide herself with other two pounds. This was d one —M rs. C amp b ell ut tered some words over the money — an d t h e w id ow, at her request, spat up o n the parcel in th e name o f P rovidence! The wido w was c h arge d no t to t ouc h t h e parcel till Mrs. Campbell w ou ld re t urn the follo w i ng morning; and she was further informed that, if she did not sleep during the night she would see a person come and place the two younds which had bee stclen, in the window. The honest thief, however, did not appear to replace the money, nei ther did the sorceress return, and the parcel being opened was found to contain merely some crumbs of bread. These facts being fully established in evidence, Sheriff J ar di ne sentenced Mrs. Campbell to three months' imprisonment. The worthy Sheriff, at the same time, remarked on the extraorcl nary circumstance that so absurd a superstition should still linger among the people in these days of intel- tain mean in the ( active ( " While pt subordinated alined by har pertain to tID Who will der close walkir physical simplicit zht of th fiel , ls cif k lorile C less evidence n - the past, arrest the eye of Id and serve to hind his ho "1 C - are so naturally associated " 'Tis t biects t men►s of this town, M v and Dmprige a larg ;eventy called tit s enunciated in tt main so precisely w of the spirit as revealed sitate to depart from our said and wiitt€ agains ewspaper press with any but we never find the slow to employ interferenc and diffusion of their 'own ,hall therefri not be deterred ionally expressing our opi itinn brought specially before formation of which we have the articles and liturgy of our umgtance of his having, some little time for a short period at one of the churches r.

What do you live upon ? EMINENT LAWYER§. The following is a list of some of the eminent lawyers of the last and present age : Lords Eldon and Stowell—sons of a barge-maker and small coal-dealer, at Newcastle-under-Lune. Lord Stowell borrowed £4O to go the circuit, and both sup ported themselves for a time by their talents as private tutors. Lord Tenterden—son of a barber at Canterbury : he received an eleemosynary education, but obtained the means to go to college : while there, he enjoyed from a company in the city of London an exhibition of £3 per a nnum, until he took hi s d egree . S ome years s i nce, i n dining with the company, he alluded to the circumstance, and expressed his gratitude. Lord Gifford—prior to his being called to the bar, was articled t o a so li c i tor near E xeter. H is rise was owing chiefly to the interest of the Msrchioness of Conyngham, to whom he was distantly related. Lord Langdale, the Master of the Rolls—not very long since an accoucheur, and married a daughter of :Lord Orford, whose family he had attended. Sir John Williams, one of the Judges of the Queen's Bench—son of a horse-dealer in Yorkshire. Solicitor-General Wylde—an attorney in the city, in co -partnership with Mr. Knight : his brother is now an attorney on College-hill, Bread -street. Mr. Serjeant Talfourd—son of a brewer at Reading, received the rudiments of his education at the Protestant Dissenters' Grammar-school, at Mill-hill, near Hendon, and at that time wrote for the public press. He com pleted his studies with Dr. Valpy, of Reading. Sir Frederick Pollock, and his brother, Mr. David Pollock—the sons of a saddler, now Messrs. Cuff's esta blishment, near Charing-cross. Mr. Baron Gurney—his mother kept a small book shop for pamphlets in a court in the city ; his brother is short -hand writer to the House of Lords of Commons. The Baron was originally of the denomination called Bap. tists, and for many years attended a Baptist chapel in Maize-pond, in the Borough. Lord Campbell, the late Attorney-General, and son-in law of Lord Abinger—reporter to a daily paper, at a time when such labour wes worse paid than at present. Mr. Serjeant Spankie was one of his colleagues. James Stephens, Esq., the Master in Chancery, was a reporter. Almost all the Judges sent out to the colonies were reporters. Mr. Wallace, M.P., was formerly a weaver. Sir Edward B. Sugden—son of a barber, and formerly a clerk to Mr. Groom, the conveyancer. Lord Lyndhurst —son of a painter, who died deeply in debt. Mr. Whitehurst, leading counsel of the Midland Cir cuit —son of a watchmaker at Derby. Mr. Petersdoff's father kept a furrier's shop. Mr. Clarkson, of the Old Bailey—his father was an at torney in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on its first for mation. Mr, Charlton, Queen's Counsel—his father is an attor ney, and now in practice in Chancery-lane. Chief Justice Saunders, whose precepts to this day form the best textbook to pleaders, was a beggar-boy, first taken notice of by an attorney, who employed him in his office. LorcilZru . von—an attorney's clerk. Lord Harilwiete—a peasant, and afterwards an attor ney's writer and office-boy. If the Society of Friends have lost a member by Mr Lucas turning Catholic, they certainly have gained en- if the person of Dan O'Connell, who has been a Qt akc ever since the late government proclamation,—Argus. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Eleven o'clock, BY EXPRESS. ._...4.___ LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, Monday, Oct. 30th. HafLpast Eight o' Clock, p.m I send you a report of the proceedings at the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association, at the Con ciliation Hall, up to its close. Mr. O'Connell moved John Molony, Esq., ex-J. P., into the chair. Mr. O'Connell proceeded to read the letter of Doctor Slattery, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cashel, en closing a subscription to the repeal funds. He c,:al acte rised it as the letter of a pious prelate and true-hearted Irishman, who had never before mixed in politics, but was possessed of a powerful intellect and the greatest pa triotism. They had already two of their four archbishops declared repealers, and he was proud to rank Michael of Cashel beside John of Tuam. (Hear, and cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman handed in £lOO from Quebec, and took occasion to praise the wisdom of the British councils there. The rent for the week was announced at a late hour to amount to eleven hundred and thirty-eight pounds thirteen shillings and sixpence, and the meeting was then adjourned. The Evening Mail of to-night contains the following 'announcement, which no doubt will create some surprise when we remember the many boasts of openness and affections for all, which were hitherto so plentifully sprinkled through the agitator's discourses:— A NEW FEATURE -WAR HAWK! _ . The future meetings of the Loyal National Repeal As sociation are to be held with closed doors! Formerly the cry was, " We court inquiry —our doors are open to all— why don't those who abuse come and listen to us," and all that kind of thing. The official notice now announces that " The usual privilege of admission on payment is suspended." " STRANGERS CANNOT BE ADMITTED." What will the law officers say to this? Eight car loads of ammunition, consisting of 250,000 hall cartridgss, arrived in Limerick from Nenagh on Fri day, escorted by a party of the 52d depot, under Ensign Melly. With reference to the unprecedented attempts which have been making to intimidate the special jurors of the city of Dublin, I subjoin the following observations from a leading article of the Evening Mail:— "We believe they will not succeed. 'We believe that the system suited to Kilkenny or Tipperary, and recently exemplified in Limerick, will not be found adapted to the soil of the metropolis. Intimidation may do much, and has done much, in deterring both witnesses from appear ing on the table, and jurors from finding true verdicts ac cording to evidence before them, in districts where both were exposed to the disturbing influences of the firebrand and the bullet on the one hand, and of bribery arid corruption on the other; but we should libel the courage, the integrity, the independence and loyalty of the city of Dublin, could we suppose that any motives of fear, or any temptations of profit, could induce any of the class duqualified to sit o n th e pane l to swerve from the path of ty." THE SLAVE TRADING CASE. — Yesterday Mr. Zuluetta was again brought up, and after the examination of se veral witnesses, who gave the prisoner a most excellent character, and the summing up of Mr. Justice Maule, the jury after a consultation of nearly two hours found the prisoner not guilty, an announcement which was re ceived with loud clapping of hands, which could with dif. ficulty be suppressed. GENERAL MISCELLANY. Directions have been issued to the South Nottingham shire Yeomanry to hold themselves in readiness for active service at a moment's notice.—Globe. Mrs. Crawford, formerly well known as Miss Eliza Paton, is about to resume her professional pursuits in Edinburgh. We regret to state that that admirable - comedian, Mr. W. Farren, was suddenly seized on Tuesday night with a fit of apoplexy. He is fast recovering. On Sunday last, at St. Austle, Cornwall, an infant was suffocated in its cradle by a cat lying upon the face of the sleeping child. A Nottinghamshire paper gives an acccount of the death of a child, 15 months old, in consequence of a piece of nut shell sticking in its throat. Mr. Buddle, the agent of the Marquis of Londonderry, has died lately worth the enormous sum of £150,000., having been a mere pit lad. Mr. Pattison was elected member for London by a ma jority of 165, according to the official declaration of the poll. The rumour that Dr. WHale and the " Bishop of Ardagh" were to be included in the prosecutions for sedition is now believed to have had no foundation what ever. At a meeting of the Yorkshire and Derbyshire iron masters, held at the Tontine Inn, Sheffield, on Thursday, an advance of 15s. per ton was declared, with every pros pect of a further rise before Christmas. At a meeting of the Ribble Navigation Company, held last week at Preston, it was agreed to go to parliament for power to raise an additional £20,000 for the comple tion of the works. It is said that a marriage is on the tapis between Lady Chantrey, relict of the late Sir Francis Chantrey, and Mr. Corbould, the artist. Her ladyship is staying at Tunbridge Wells. EDINBURGH FESTIVAL.—In round numbers, it is stated that the loss by the recent festival at Auld lteekie will amount to £2OOO. Fortunately, it will fall upon shoulders that can well bear it. WORKSOP MANOR HOUSE.—The building materials were sold on Tuesday last, by direction of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, for 20,000 guineas. It is said the original cost of the mansion was £300,000. On Wednesday last, another dreadful explosion took place at one of the Calder pits (Coatbridge). There were twenty-four men in the pit, who were more or less injured and two lives lost. Arrangements have been made with the Gfeat Western and London and Liverpool lines to have trains at the dis posal of government to start at any time an order may be sent from the Horse-Guards to convey troops to Ireland. A meeting of from thirty to forty thousand pit men as sembled on Saturday at the Black Fell, near Newcastle, to petition for repeal of the export duty on coal and other grievances connected with the trade. Mr. Duncombe, M.P., and Mr. Feargus O'Connor addressed them. The Journal des Bruxelles states that the Belgian Go vernment has received, from its Charge d'Affaires at New York, official information of the conclusion of a treaty of commerce between the German Customs Union and the United States of America. REPRESENTATION OF SALISBURY.--The death of Mr. Wyndham, the Conservative member for Salisbury, oc casioned a vacancy in the representation of that city. Mr. Bouverie, second son of Lord Radnor, is named as a probable candidate. The greatest activity prevails in the carpet trade at Barnard Castle at the present time ; the stocks on hand are low, and most of the workmen are fully employed. A change most auspicious and gratifying in the affairs of that town since last autumn. The proprietor of a coffee-house, in London, lately dis covered that the whole of the story of " Ten Thousand a year" had been cut out from nine expensively bound vo lumes of Blackwood's Magazine. Robberies and mutila tions of this description have of late become very common in coffee-houses. WOODCOCKS.—On the lith instant the gamekeeper of Mr. G. Perryn, of Traf f ord, killed a fine woodcock on the land in that neighbourhood. It is generally presumed that so early an appearance of this bird is a presage of a severe winter. The Welsh hills being now covered with snow, present also an early indication. —Chester Courant. LADY SALE.—The " Oriental " steam-ship, from Alexandria, disembarked her passengers at Southampton on Saturday week. Lady Sale was amongst the number, and was an object of peculiar interest. Her ladyship was looking remarkably well, considering the harassing life and severities she has of late undergone. The rump-steak dinner on the top of Nelson's Column came off yesterday week, of which 14 persons engaged on the works partook. The steaks were run up by a pulley, and appeared to be highly relished by the diners-out ; the party afterwards returned to " dull earth," and finished the evening at the Trafalgar Hotel. SUDDEN DEATH OF A CORONER.—Died, on Sunday evening week, Mr. Robert Fowke, solicitor, of Stafford, and one of the coroners for that county. The deceased, who was in the prime of life, had partaken of a hearty dinner, as usual, and in two or three hours afterwards was found by his housekeeper prostrate on the floor in a lifeless state. PROBATES AND ADMINISTRATIONS.—By a late Par liamentary return of the total nurnbgr of copies of wills and extracts of administrations sent to the legacy duty office in each of the years 1839, 1840, and 1841, it appears that in the first year there were 22,169, the second 22.106, and in 1841 the number was 22,908. There were 16,701 wills in the last mentioned year. EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP.—At Stevenson Colliery, Holytown, on Monday the 23d, three men and a boy were severely burned, owing, it is said, to one of the workmen goingknown by hi m to be foul. One of the sufferers was re lieved on Tuesday by death, from his painful situation ; and no hopes are as yet entertained for the recovery of the other three.---Glasgow paper, Oct. 31, 184 3 —.... paid THE (d e S d H u l c P ti 000 decreed to be paid to the salvors of this vessel, ichnoto found abandoned at the mouth of the Shannon, 1 1 lig (deducting the o f : i f ' s o , o ' o , l 0 manner : 1 8 ° 12 men at £157 6 2 .......... £l,B8 8 , 6 838 ~ 3 6 men at 141 611 ....... • " "41 1 ° 5 6 men at 121 19 21 .......... , ‘ , 1 ,-,9 0 .. ..... 1 10 men at 105 18 oi .......... ii" ~;,,c 0, FALMOUTH, OCT. 25.—A most melancholy ina_lt"o.ol.. the awful uncertainty of human life occurred her! as this Mr. Barnes, formerly a merchant of Lisbonw,i; to th, e , morning following the earthly remains of his e, he fe lt tomb, when, but a short distance from his hods joie the ill and left the mournful procession, arid wen t _ t • w ine; house of Mr. W.
