THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1846.

Mr. Walter thanked the meeting for their usual demon-
strations of regard. He hoped they now met even under
better auspices than before. (Hear, hear.) Although, as
they were aware, much had he n done in their neighbour.
hood, something yet remained to be accomplished. He
pertiularly alluded to tare erection of a school, to be esta-
blished on a sound and useful basis, and ultimately a par
nonage. (Hear, hear.) But as they did not encumber them-
selves with foreign aid or superintendence, a little time
must be allowed before even the former undertaking could
be commenced. In the meantime all the district would
have the benefit of the counsels of his rev. friend Mr.
Wiilmott, and ho would express his confident hope that
they would all derive therefrom the same comfort and
happiness which he did himself. (Hear, hear.) It would
occupy more of their time than the schemes were worth,
were he to notice the new ones that had been concocted
since last year, with the proposed object of remedying
agricultural suffering, whether of labourers or employers;
but if he had the pleasure of meeting them again next
year, he thought he should be able to supply them with some
information as to the operation and effects of those schemes
which would not prove uninteresting. (Cheers.) He should
content himself with saying that he had seen nothing worthy
of imitation, but much he should condemn as expedient to
avoid. None of them professed to atter the only proper
remedies—namely, regular employment and adequate remu-
neration. (Hear, hear.) These were the only cures for the
sufferings of the labouring population. (Cheers.) He con-
demned the system of agricultural societies in giving rewards
of IL or 21. out of a joint-stock purse for a whole life of
arduous service. (Hear.) He had read with the greatest
pleasure, within the last few days, accounts of meetings par-
taking of the same character as the present, and receiving
the countenance of the highest personage in the realm—
(cheers)—also of the ex-Prime Minister, and of a noble lord
in their own neighbourhood; and he trusted that ere long
the better practice would universally prevail. ("Hear," and
cheers.) Other toasts followed, and the conviviality of the
afternoon was not a little enhanced by the vocal efforts of
several of the guests.
THE FARKINGOON AGILICULTCRAL ASSOCIATION held
their meeting on Thursday last, at Buckland, in a field be-
longing to the president, Sir It. G. Throckmorton,
The ground chosen was a piece of clover ley, with much
herbage upon it, which rendered the ploughing difficult to
perform, yet, considering all disadvantages, the generality of
the work was considered good. There were between 300
and 400 spectators, and the field during the ploughing pre-
sented a scene of great animation. A good and substantial
dinner was provided for the competitors in a building near
the field, belonging to the president, after partaking of
which, a suitable address was delivered to the whole of the
competitors by the president, which was listened to with great
attention. There were 29 entries, and the whole of them com-
peted for the rewards. Next day the meeting of the Wokingh a m
Association took place upon the ground, where several car-
riages of the neighbounng gentry, and the attendance of
ladies, of course greatly added to the gaiety of the scene.
By the specified hour, thirty-seven teams were on the ground
at Tangley's Farm. Each competitor strenuously exerted
himself to obtain the prize, and so admirably was the work
executed that the judges were one hour and a half before
they could decide upon the parties entitled to the rewards.
After the whole of the competitors had partaken of a hearty
meal iu a booth which was erected on the ground, the suc-
cessful ones were called up and received their prizes from
the hands of the Marquis of I)ownshire.

THE POISONMOS.—The illegitimate child of the young
woman, named Taylor, for attempting to poison which Mrs.
Chesham was committed to Chetinsford gaol, died on Sun•
day, at Manenden, near Clirscring. The inquest will be
holden to-slay

CouncuDreereineAer.—A return to an address of the House of
Common.% made In February last, has been printed, showing " the
number of suite against clerks in holy orders, in the courts of the arch-
bishops and bishops in England and Wales, since the Church Disci-
pline Act, 3 and 4 Victoria, c. 86, stating, whenever an offence has
been proved against such clerk in holy orders, the name of the clerk,
the nature of the offence, and the sentenced pronounced by the judge."
There have been fourteen suits instituted in the Arches Court of Can-
terbury against clerks in holy orders, under the act mentioned, in two
of which mute the offences charged were not proved, and two suite
remained, on the 13th March Lot, undetermined. There are two
suits against one clerk in the diocese of Bath and Wells, and seven in
the diocese of Exeter. In the court of the Bishop of Lincoln, prelimi-
nary proceedings were only taken in three eases, and the parties
amused consented to abicle the summary judgment of the bishop ; "no
proceedings were taken in the court, and consequently " (to use the
language of the registrar), "no offence was proved against any of
three three clerks." In the ease of the Reverend William
Day, of Haw ridge, in the arelideeseunry of Buckingham, after
the preliminary inquiry, the suit was taken by letters of request
to the Court of Archer,. The offenses charged were drunkenness and
the commission of pen acts of violence. Mr. Day made no defence,
and the judge suspended him ex effisio of beneficia for three years.
The costs of the prosecution amounted to 2231.1 e. 10d., of which Wt.
will be defrayed by the Rev. 11. Jeffereys, a landed prorrietor of the
parish, the rest by the bishop. Costs were given against /Ir. Day, but es
Ids living of Ila a ridge is under sequestration, none can be recovered. In
the Court of the Bishop of Norwich, there was a suit against a clerk
I for nun-residence, and sentence WWI given against bins, on which he
appealed, the sentence wee confirmed, and an appeal was made to the
Privy Council, which is still pending. A like suit was instituted
against the same party for eight mouths' non-residence in his recnry
in 1844, which is still landing. In the Arches Court of Canterbury,
William Hawked Langley (clerk;, was proved guilty of lanoline in
the parish church, and suspended ab 4..ia for eight months. Henry
Erskine Head, for publishing a letter in derogation and depraving of
the book of Common Prayer, was suspended ab officio et to iofirio for
three year*. Henry liensluwe, fur refusing to bury a corpse,
alter notice and warning given, was suepenekel ab ..mein for three

indecent conduct and conve ration, and incontinence, was suspended
ab officio et braclicia for three years, and until a certificate of good
behaviour and morals during suspension, signed by three beneficed
clergymen, be produ rd and approved by the curt; John Jones, for
incontinence was suspended ab officio et benefice', for two years, and
until a certificate of good behaviour during Ku/pension be produced ;
Frederick Oakeley, for having published a pamphlet affirming doe-
trince contrary to the articles of religion, his license was revoked and
himself suspended ab etfficia until he Mall retract his errors; William

Loftus% for lewd and indecent conduct, conversanon, and incontinence,

behaviour; and llenry Ileathcote, for having been convicted
of an ueault with an intent to commit, An., inhibition from exercise
of the ministry, and from all discharge of hie clerical duties. The
offences in the diocese of Exeter were for publishing the banns in
solemnizing marriage, when neither of the parties lived in the perish ;
for officiating without the licence and against the monition of the
Bishop; for omitting in the burial service certain parts of the office;
for publicly reading prayers, preaching and performing ecclesiastical
duties and divine offices In an unconsecrated chapel, in the parish of
Bury Pomeroy, without licence or authority, and contrary to the in-
junction of the Bishop. In the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol there
were three suite, one defendant was suepended for three yeah for fre-
quenting houses of UI fame, de., and another was suspended fur one
year for celebrating an illegal marriage between parties within the
prohibited degrees of affinity, after due caution.
SCOTCH Facc Cameos—From returns produced at the Glasgow
Town Council in reference to the sittings and revenue of the city
churches, the loss inflicted upon the Scotch Church does not appear
so great as might have been expected, considering the great number
who have joined the seceder.. Neither the number of let calcines
nor the revenue present such a decrease no might be expected. in
18421, there were 7,360 salting. let; in 1845-6, 5,677. In the former
year the revenue to the city wax 3,400!. 13s. 9d.- in the latter,
2,7411. Ss. eel. There are now, therefore, 1,683 fewer let sittings, and
739!. Es. Id. Ina revenue; that is to say, the strength of the Eats-
blishment in Glaegow is reduced by considerably lees than a fourth.
On examining the returns more minutely, the Church exhibits a
surprising degree of elasticity. At the disruption, the let Fittings fell
to 3,856 ; in 1844-5, they ruse to 5,425; in 1845-6, to 5,677. The
revenue, which had fallen to 1,8551. 13s. duel , rose first to 2,5651.
18s. 4a., and then to 2,7411. ss. ad. The increase and decrease being
divided among the ten churches of the city, the result dis-
plays the influence of the different clergymen in diminishing,
retaining, or increasing their adherents. In St. George's and St.
Enoch's the number of sittings never fell at all, but continued to
increase gradually, year after year. In the one, at the disruption,
the number was 1,049; in the other, 952. Now it is 1,155 and 1,205
' respectively. In the Inner High Church them has been little
variation, there being only one sitting less let than at the disruption.
Again, in St. Andrew's, the number tell from 423 to 135, but hue now
actually rebounded above Pte old level, there being 1,017 sitting. let.
In St. Paul's the number fell from 900 to 339, but auceeesively rose to
598 ani 682. In other churches, after the first fall, there was also a
tendency to rise; which, however, this year received a Plight cheek.
Thus in the 'Peon, the number fell from 1,008 to 128; subsequently
Nee to 263, but again fell to 230. The sume is the ease with St.
David's, St. John's, and St. James's. In one church only the fall has
been regular and progremive. In Blackfriars, in 1842-3 the bitting,/
let were 333, which subsequently fell to 297, H 6, 131.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—TestaIiDAY.
Berme Mr. Commissioner Evans..

A PROVISIONAL Commirrrastax.-11. Alpen, a director
and provisional committeeman in different railway com-
panies, and an author of certain works, an editor and writer
for the press, came up for his interim order, with debts upon
his schedule to the extent of 15,0001. He was opposed by
Mr. Nicholls on the grounds of contracting debts without any
reasonable means of payment, and the vexatious defence to
Messrs. Brandon's action. —The insolvent said that the reason
of his defending this action was, because Messrs. Brandon
had been appointed engineers and surveyors to a railway
company prior to his becoming a director of the same corn-
pany.—Hui Honour said be was satisfied with the explana-
tion.—lnsolvent: About the time of the mania, your honour,
I left my profession to go to it. I have no interest in any
Canadian Bank Shares. I was a provisional committeeman
in three railway companies, and had two guineas a week
from one. I lent 7001. to a Mr. M'llowell, which has been
the cause of my unfortunate appearance at this coo:rt. I was
en insolvent in 1828 (or 1838). Those debts are not in the
schedule.—His Honour then granted the order. The insol-
vent to amend his schedule.
