THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

Yesterday, the cold bright weather wu pecu-
liarly suitable for Exhibition visitors, as the hi.
terior was warm, and its atmosphere clear enough
to permit of the pictures being seen. Nevertheless,
the attendance was not above the average of Thurs-
days, which now, and until the end, ought to be a.
good day. From Monday next the building will
be closed at 6 o'clock, and probably as the days
grow shorter the hours will be still further cur-
tailed. It therefore becomes necessary to warn all
persons who have yet to see the Exhibition that
the sooner they undertake their pilgrimage to
South Kensington the better.
The question of the price of admission during
the fortnight that is to be allotted for sales made
some progress towards settlement yesterday, in the
announoemeut that during the supplementary
period season tickets, exclusive of those which were
issued for the shilling days, will be admissible.
It is to be hoped that the tariff will be reasonable,
as with anything like a high tariff the whole object
of the bazaar will be defeated.. .

The Americans, even at this advanced period of
the season, have introduced a novelty into tbe ma-
chinery department. It is a grinding machine, in
which the emery is bedded in a new material wade
from linseed oil, and which the patentees, Mem&
Warne and Co., assert to to a perfect and incl.
hausttble substitute for indiarubber.

NORTH WALSHAJI AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

NORTH WALSHALL Ocr. 9.

The annual meeting of this society was held last
eveoing in this pleasant little Norfolk tows, Lord Scrim°
presiding. It was expected that the proceedings would have
been enlivened with a speech from Lord Wodehouse, late
Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, but the noble lord's
other engagements prevented his attendance. Among those
present, however, were Mr. E. Howes. MY., Mr. C. Bux-
ton, M.P., .Sir H. Robinson, Major-Gesseal Windham,
Admiral the Hon. E. T. Wodehouse, °Tilde Windham,
R.N., the Hon. W. R. Roue, the Hon. W. Harbord, ke.
The CLUBMAN gave " The County Members." (Cheers.)
Mr. E Howers,lLE, In acknowledging the compliment,
said it mud have been observed of late that at all agricul-
tural meetings, members of Parliament bad not only
taken upou themselves to give an account of their own indi-
vidual stewardships, but also to make excuses for the
House of Commons itself because of its weaned inactivity.
Now, it mast be seen readily enough that the House of
Commons was not a mere workshop for the manufacture of
acts of parliament ; it should rather be regarded es the
mouth-pieta of the nation—the arena in which the pest
principles of our domestic, colonial. and foreign policy were
promulgeted for the satisfaction of our own people at home
aad the increase of confideuce on the part of foreign nations
—the publicity given to the proceedings of the House being
the surest guarantee for domestic union and peace abroad.
(Cheers.) Some reference had been made to the
preservation of game. Now a bill had been introduced
and had recently become law which was generally
spoken of as the Poaching Act ; and he regretted to soy
that there was a very strong opposition to that act iii the
House of Commons. He himself supported that bill.
(Hisses and cheers.) If lion. gentlemen would hear him
out he was sure they would themselves agree to the conclu-
sion to which he bad come. The opposition to that mea-
sure was raised on various grounds, but the principal pine
to which lie wished to refer was this—he believed the bill
was not wanted for the county of Norfolk. (Cries of
" Oh.") It was wanted, however, for counties in the middle
of EoglaM, and it was for the sake of those counties that
be mainly supported the measure. (Renewed hews.)
Where it was carried into effect with judgment and discre-
tion it would be of the greatest possible use, not only in
supporting laws which so hem as they remained laws ought
clearly to be supported, but it would also have the effect is-
directly of preventing many positive crimes intimately con-
Dieted with violations of the laws to which he bad referred.
The bill was also opposed on the ground of expense ; bet
be believed that in Norfolk, which had a chief
constable of great judgment and discretion, there was
nothing to fear on that bead. Upon the new highway ba
be need say nothing, as it rested with the ratepayers
whether they put it into force or not. Another act passed
would be of the greatest use in preventing collisions be-
tween class and class, so far as rating was concerned ; he re-
ferred to the Parochial Assessment Act, which was the
fruit of two yaws legislation in the House of Commons.
Great trouble had been taken with that maim, and the
house had also been impartial, as the act would impose no
slight trouble upon the counties concerned. (leinghter4
An amusing episode had been introduced in relation to the
pig and the pig feeder, and to the correspooding retains
betweeu constituents and their representatives. Whatever
might be the support ghee by the constituent to his rem.
seatetive, the position of the latter was not a bed of roses,
as the very high position of an M.P. involved dancer and
disgrace, if he did not nee every effort to promote the je'e.
rests of his constituents, and through them of the com-
munity at large. (Cheers,)
At a titer period of the evening.
Mr. C. 8. BRAD responded to the toast of "The Judges,'
as did Mr. Henry end Mr. Overman. Mr. Read observed
that tenant-farmers had been requested by preceding
speakers to give free utterance to their opinions. He WO a
tenant farmer, and as he had heard no other tenantfamer
say anything upon the matters which were taking Plae
around then., he would take the liberty of doing so. it
was customary for tenent.farmers to be patted on their..
backs and to be told that they were a very enterpreiel
and enthusiastic body of people—a very independent me
improving set. The great and noble of the land told thus
these things, and he supposed they believed them to he
true ; but he would remind his friends among the tenet-
farmers that in private life a man was always valued. liSe
by the compliments which he pad, but by the goal "den
he did. Yet when great landed proprietors and arcul'
hued M.P.s went to parliameut, they seemed tow some-
thing like this: "You are such an isuslligent set of inm
that you are DOW no Mager capable of managing. our roads.
and therefore we will do it for you ; you are so indepesdeet,
and have shown yourself independent so long in
your landlord's game. that now we think yon oott!
to pay for the preservation of it also. (Cheersand cries d
"Goon,* " Let's have some more of it..") No; be would
met* "God preserve the fanners from their walled
friends." (Laughter and cheery.)
..TMbre.
Successful Exbibiton,' said the lastwith.p.thersotoeft
possibly call foe a reply, and he might at some future tiros
be tempted to give it. (Cries of "Do it now!" "

it. Ile was quite sure that the two measures inettioned
Mr. Real would, when thoroughly understood, b e bill

agricultural interest of the kingdom.
The remaining proceedings of the evening scarcely mil foe
notice.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commiesioner Poohleague.)
IS THZ MATTER or A DEW OF ARRANGFIIIOI7.
Ir. K Reed. on behalf of a creditor, wished to examine
a wanes. as party to a deed of arrangement under the
I'r2ntl clause.

fiaaey took objection to the court's jurisdiction, on
the ground that the deed was not shown to be properly
within the clauses of the act

...
One of the trustees sru examined, and stated that they
had accepted 501 W. from the debtor, as the value of hag
stock, and this amount had been divided amongst the cre-
ditors.

Mr. Bagley—Then the second condition has not been
complied with. There has been no ceesio bonorum.
The Commiesioner—Then, do you seek to take advantage
of your own wrong," If the deed is not valid, the parties
must be left to their remedy at law.
In the course of a coaversation which ensued,
His Honour said that if trustees under these deeds took
upon themselves to pay what creditors they liked, Lad leave
others unpaid, it would lead to oodles' litigation and
mischief. It was very likely to be a common dodge to leave
some loophole to creep out of, when the parties were called
upon for payment. In this cane the trustees appeared to be
keeping an individual creditor at arm's length on very
frivolous pretences.
The deed not lx.ing produced,
Mr. E. Reed asked for an adjournment of the hearing.
Mr. Begley asked that the application should be dial:aired
with casts ?

The Commissioner—No : that I won't. I won't give you a
shilling. (Laughter.) Those ocumpotent trustees must be
looked after.

Mr. R. Read now asked for leave to examine the trustees
au to their proceedings under the deed.
Mr. Sargood, on behalf of the trustees, objected that the
summonses had been irregularly issued.
His Honour aid the SULDMOUINII would be dismissed, but
without costs. In all those cases there should be a specific
notice of motion, with affidavits in support of it.
