T

toed has been severely depressed, that it is still depressed,
I acknowledge with grief; bet I acknowledge it with sin-
cerity. It is that which I feared would by the ease under
that change of policy which was earned successfully through
parliament. But it was thewill and pleasure of parliament ;
that th .t should he carried into live, mid I doubt not that
in time the agricultural interest will survive all their difil-
amities, and will be as buoyant and as well remunerated as
the manufacturing interest. if that be so, how much have
we to be thankful for? Tluve is not a human being in
Sheffield who cannot make his half a crown go fur-
ther now then it did ten years ago. (Cheers.) There
ia not a man who cannot make his 4001. a-year go further
now than it did ten years sera Who is it that suffers ?
Temporarily, I admit, the agriculturists ; but when I make
that admission, I say with confidence they will survive the
present distress. (Cheers.) Before I sit down, after thank-
ing you for the honour you have paid my colleague and my-
self, I hug to congratulate you on the prosperous condition
in which the West-Riding of Yorkshire and the kingdom
unitedly now are. 1 trust there will be no retrograde
movement ; and I hope, if ever I have the honour of ad-
dressing you again, I may have the satisfaction of con-
gratulating you on your still further prosperity. (Loud
cheers.)
Mr. Alderman DUNN proposed the Members for the
Waugh of Sheffield. (Cheers)
Mr. l'Aitcr.it having returned thanks,
Mr. ROEBUCK rose and said : It is a matter of course,
even though it were not a desire on my part, to return you
my hearty thanks. Ido so sincerely. (Cheers.) Not one
cross feeling comes over my mind when I say I return my
thanks sincerely, for I well know my countrymen, and
that there is something in them. wheu a min who has no
interest hut yours gives his whole mind to the diteus-
sign of any one subject—brings his heart, his feelings,
his inte.ligelice to the task of deriding it for you—
and that is what jou have deputed me to do, not to
consider what you like, but what is right-1 say I feel it
to be true that there is sznething in the character of my
ceentryinen in which I may confide, and which tell
ins that, however at first there ma, be differences, yet whew
yaw sea that a man is hearty, is true, seeks no private end,
bat only the public good, there is appreciation for hiss
(Cheers) On that ground I have confidence. If I had on
—if I were wavering, as my friend has said—the Raab
coming when the ingestion may he decided. And however
much I niay ritmril your approbation—however proud to
wield the grout power you have given me—(cries of " We
can't hear," from the lower part of the room, causing some
interruption.) As Brutus said, "Be silent, that you may
hear" (Laughter.) I say again, the thing may be put in
the shortest possible phrase. I have done lily duty ,as I
thought 1 ought to du it. I have gained nothing by so
doing. (A hiss, repressed by cheers, and cries of
"Shame.") 1 ran the risk, and I pity the man—(The
rest of the sentence was hot in confusion, and re-
newed cries of " Shame.") I did my duty us I thought I
ought tt. du it. If I did wrong in your estimation, the time
is coming when you may so express it ; but in this con-
vivial meeting 1 should he sorry to introduce any personal
considerations. (Cheers.) I want to have that harmony of
which my noble friend and the rev. gentleman have spoken.
And I wdlteU you one broad and leading principle which
should conduce to that harmony. Make • full, fair,
candid, mud judicious appreciation of every man's
conduct, motives, and doing., and then decide.
(('hem..) But, air, I will not leave the considera-
te). of the toast which you have been so kind as to propose
with this reference to myself. There are other and greater
things to he considered. There are circumstances connected
with what the rev. gentleman said, I believe of the highest
importance to this town. Ile spoke of peace and har-
mony. Now, recollect if there were a main desirous of
sowing discord, who had the ability to captivate the multi-
tude, who deigned to crawl on the ground to gather the
materials for a horrible conflagration, might it not be dorm
easily against the interests of the community ? I ally my-
self to that rev. gentleman, and I say harmony is a great
interest of this country. You have now security for per-
son, property, and reputation. But there is—and don't
hide I yourselves the fact—there is beneath us, as there
is iu Europe, a boiling cauldron of anarchical ideas.
Quarrel with those who ran govern these ideas, and how
wise you will be' Understand the courage of the men who
face your prejudices. as well its the prejudices of all others,
and then you may have some chance of understanding
what the boiling cauldron will do if not poured into •
mould that will give it a beneficial form, but thrown
abroad as it may be among society, to produce the
most tirrible effects. (Cheers.) Think of these things.
Do not consider the individual who tells you them; but if
there Is courage to oppose you, there may be courage to
defend you; and with that sentiment I heartily thank you
for the toast. (Cheers.)

Tilt CHARGE 0? PIAUD AND CONSPIRACY AT
Baiiiirros.—Yesterday an application was made to the
magi-teat. s, J. Donner, Esq. (chairman), and C. Car-
p, rat, r, Esq., at the Town Hall, Brighten, to receive bail
ea the part of the prisoner, Henry Nottage, who was com-
suit t. on Monday last un a charge of perjury, arising out
of tin prore,slings in this case. Mr. Sill, of Tavistock-
row, elm att. iided, as before, for the prosecution, admitted
that he had received notice that Mr. Moss Phillips, of No.
1. Beaumont-street, Mile-end-road, licensed victualler, and
wsla-watir maker, and Mr. William Potter, of No. 37,
Great Totten. y. street, Golden-square, builder, would attend
that .1.,), to justify as bail for the prisoner. Mr Seale said
that li, hail a medical certificate of the inability of Mr.
Phillips ts he present, in consequence of illness, and he,
thee, I T,, :limited that the other party proposed as bail,
Mr. Pon. r. should be permitted to enter into his recog-
nisan..• in :Off., instead of the required two sureties
of 2 cull. Mr. Sill felt bound to direct the
atteution of the bench to the language of the 23rd
section of the 11 and 12 Victoria, cap. 42, and
hr contended that under the provisions of that section the
bad now to lie taken must be the bail determined on by
floe enainitting magistrate, and according to the endorse-
m, ut on the warrant of commitment. Two sureties were
there r, quirrd, mid he feared that if one surety was now
taken it would not be in obedience to the section in ques-
tion ; and it so the validity of the recognisance might be
questioned. A similar application had been previously
made by Mr. Lewis, on behalf of Broome to be admitted to
bail, which application had been refused. The chairman
mid he would not (beide the question at present, but would
take the eimmination of Mr. Potter conuitiunally. Mr.
Pont r was then sworn, and stated that he was a builder,
and resided at No. 17, Great l'ulteney-street, Golden-
square. That he was worth 5001. after payment of his
just debts. That his stock in trade was worth 400, or
'That he was possessed of leaseholds worth:W.ol., and
that he had hook debts owing to him to the amount of
2,0001., iir thereabout". Ile underwent a lengthened crow- ,
examinatioo by Mr. Sill, during which he admitted that
the prisoner Nottag• was almost a stranger to him, that Mr.
liner, of the Argyle Casino, had requested him to became
bail, and Brier had agreed to indemnify him for doing
so. Tin chairman mid they were of opinion that Mr.
Potter's Iwil ought to be accepted. Mr. Carpenter added
that he would go over to Lewes Gaol, and would there take
the recognisance' of Mr. Potter and of the prisoner Nonage.
Mr. Sill here remarked that he did not see how that
arrangement would obviate the difficulty as to the power of
the magistrates to substitute one surety fur two. Mr. Car-
penter, however, said he thought they could do so, and he
added that the magistrates felt much indebted to Mr. Sill
for the assistance they had received from him throughout
the investigation. The proceedings then terminated.

WI:Ale11 COLLEGE—A general meeting of the
inhabitants of St. Saviour, Southwark, took place yester-
day morning in the Teary-room, for the purpose, moos*
other business, of receivina • report front the wardens ••
the &env made by his Grace the Archbishop of Caster
bury on the memorial lately presented by the WIWI= 111
f,rtnce to Dulwich College, and to damming dans§ ;

from the teo senior churchwardens of the pankh ' • and
eoncluded reeossarsediag did the apittien of arundtel
should be taken ea to ibis Map to be odetteed INOMIIIIINIL
The chairman said Peet It wee his bodosee
Twit the college, to audit eke team, and see the decree
read and acted upon. Nothing embed with respect to the
scholars, but the accounts woe edited; no Touchers were
exhibited, but only themenba woseant with the substruction
of expeans ; and the well baled is hand up to Midsummer
was ~,71.6/.; they of enimili Moak bet their vestry clerk
wax aluent, in easeopeeses &bow en. the master stating
out his company wield sat be agreeable. (Shame, shame.)
Mr. linibletun observed that the decree was a very meagre
one, and fell far short of what was required ; all discretion
wax kit to the master, and the alterations would not be of
substantial benefit to the scholars. The rental of the pro-
perty haul increased to 24,0001. per annum, and the fuunder
neverintended the charity to be conducted in the way it
wax now administered. The donor never anticipated that
the income would exceed 8001. per annum, and now that it
readied so many thousands, he regretted to find that nothing
mete was dune. The revenue was handed over to one and
another, and the management was becoming so disgraceful
that a thorough remedy was required, which only could be
obtained by an act of parliament, for no other power could
fairly deal with it. The benefits of the charity should be
eat. niled, keeping in view the intentions of the donor.
Tiny had been complaining for five years, but nothing had
been done After some discussion, it was determined to
selinst the suggegMns of the wardens, and at the next meet-
ing detemnue as to making application to parliament for
Powers to remedy the abuses complained of.
SERIOUv ACCIDENT TO VISCOCE?
On Friday last the noble lord, aeamapanied by the young
Mater o Strathallan, who has just returned from England.
*litre he has been pursuing his education, was passing the
home farm, when • steam mill has lately been erected,
when he stepped into it for the purpose of spewing the
Master the machinery in operation. The mill had been
neently stopped, and the people were all away at dinner,
with the exception of one individul, whom his lordship
still to let one little steam to set the mill a-going.
At the time it commenced to move, his lordship, who had •
hchtu 4 candle in his hand, had unfortunately been
leaning upon swat of the small wheels that communi-
tato thi motion to the rollers, when, we regret to say, his
" was caught by the wheels, sad so severely lacerated,
that it was found necessary to have it amputated above
the i 115.... We leant that date this nod unfortunate ea-
carman, his lordship is contbuthag to do well.—Perth CIPA.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

There was nothing noticeable in the Crystal
Palace yesterday beyond the presence of the ex-Queen o
the French and the Duke do Nemours, and the absence of
those additional thousands whom the extra Is. 6d. drive
away on the last two days of the week. The scholars of
the Deaf and Dumb School, from the Kent-road, were
amongst the visitors yesterday..

The Danaher of ris;tors was 15,738.

IRON AND BR.t9S BEDSTRAD&—CLASS 22.—The
metallic bedsteads in the Industrial Exhibition are not so
numerous as we should have expected, from the increasing
favour with which they have been regarded by the public
of late years. Bedsteads of iron and bra" which can be
easily put together and taken to pieces, and which are the
most effectual antidote against vermin, have been highly
recommended for promoting health and cleanliness. We
should have therefore expected a greater variety in this
class of manufacture. The principal contributors in this
department are Mr. Winfield of Birmingham, and Fleet-
rtreet, London, who patented some valuable improvements
in metallic bedsteads in 1848 ; Messrs. Ilarlow and Peyton,
also of Birmingham, have likewise contributed some ex-
cellent specimens. Messrs. Cottam and Hallam, of Oxford-
street, have exhibited two of their epeioclinc bedsteads,
which, from the ingenious adaptatien of the spiral spring,
must greatly contribute to the case and comfort of the
sleeper. Mr. Tonkin, of the New-road, has a brass bed-
stead on a new principle. .levirs. Tyler and l'ace, of Ox-
ford-street, have sonic portable bedsteads with wrought,
iron joints; and Mows. Prates and Co., of Emerson-street, ex-
hibit some folding bedsteads which can be used either as a crib
orcouch, and are also deserving of notice from their cheapness.
But unquestionably the most amusing contribution in this
department is the alarum bedstead of Mr. Savage, which
(as before mentioned), by means of a horological movement
connected with a spring in the bedstead, causes the sleeper
to slide out of the bed at the hour according to which he
has wound the clock.—lt is interesting to see the progress
made by Spain in brass workmanship of thin description, as
witnessed in the contributions of Sanchez l'escador and De
Miguel, in the gallery over the Spani.h court. The skill of
France is represented by Dupont, Gandillat, and Co.; Lande
and Leonard. _ .

COOKING APPARATUS, &C.—Under the same class as
the metallic bedsteads, the various apparatus for cooking,
kitchen ranges, Btc., arc placed. In this class of articles
the object chiefly aimed at is the economising of fuel and
the application of the heat in the must effectual and beneficial
manner. Some of these ranges exhibit a first class style of
workmanship, and afford instances of skilful and ingenious
arrangement. From the bachelor's kettle" up to the
complicated arrangements required in large and expensive
establishments we bare several specimens. Of the latter
description, those exhibited by Benham and Son, of Wig-
more-street. and by Evans, Son, and Co., of King William-
street, arc deserving particular notice, from the beauty of
their finish and the Ingenious devices by which they are
made to perform the various processes of baking, boiling,
broiling, stewing, steaming, frying, roasting, and at the
same time at the least possible expenditure of fuel. Mr.
Defrie's gas stove, for culinary and other purposes, also de-
serves notice, as do his various other gas apparatus. Messrs.
Deane and Co., of London.bridge, Mr. Flare), Mr. Crook,
the Cualbrook Dale Company, &c., have contributed useful
specimens in this department. Mr. Brown's cooking ap-
paratus deserves commendation, from the automaton roast-
ing jack which is used with it. In front of the range is
placed a sort of semi-cylindrical oven, with the usual hooks
and dripping-pans for roasting. A hollow tube pro-
jects from the lower part of the oven, and when
the oven and tube are arranged for cooking this
tube is thrust into an opening beneath the fireplace.
While the contents of the oven are exposed to the action
of the fire, a current of air is drawn through the tube into
the oven, and this current turns a vane wheel, to which
the suspended hooks arc attached. Amongst the minor in-
ventions
of this kind may be mentioned a kettle invented by
Mr. Bray, of Cranbourn-street, for boiling potatoes with-
out water, and for extracting from them their own moisture,
so as to leave the potato quite dry ; an apparatus for speedily
heating and cooling liquids, by Mr. Hewett, of Holborn ;
similar inventions by Messrs. Watts and Horton, of Shoe-
lane ; a coffee roaster, by Mr. Orpwood, of Bishomagate ;
and a kettle, by Mr. Atkinson, of Dublin, by which the
danger of scalding from the pouring out of the boiling
water ix prevented
