Ma. Stains O'Bittates severance from the local repealer*
of the county he represents seems to be more decided every
day. At a recent meeting of the Liberal Club, a vote WSJ
CVthat he no longer possessed the confidence of that

was supported by 142 only.
POOR-LAW RINIOTAL Resrvr*.—Another case of death
by removal of a poor Irish labourer MO occurred. This time
the harshness was named by the proceedings of some parish
officers in Scotland. The man who has died in this manner
was annually accustomed to proceed from Dromara, county
Antrim, to Scotland, to cut the harvest. While then this
year he took fever, and was sent in custody of an officer to
Ireland as .• a dangerous lunatic." When he arrived in
Ireland it was not known he was ill of fever, and not insane,
and consequently was not treated properly, in consequence
of which he died. The jury, says the Barmer of 'later,
expressed their disapproval of the conduct of the parties
who sent him while in a state of fever from Scotland.
QUACKS .—A brace of quack doctors have been consigned
to gaol at Ferbane, in the King's County, by the verdict of a
coroner's jury. A poor man was attacked with pleurisy, and
one of the quacks was called in to let him blood. In the
operation au artery was punctured, from which, in a few
days, the blood burst. The second was then called in, and
completed what the other had left uneffected—the man
died.

WALTHAM AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

WALTHAM, TUESDAY, SEPT. 28. The annual
meeting of the members of the Waltham Agricultural Asso-
ciation for the exhibition of stock end for competition in
ploughing, was held yesterday in the Agricultural Hall, at
Waltham. _

The ploughing matches were excellent, but the show of
stock (with regard to number) was a failure, there being
only 61 bead of cattle and 40 sheep on the ground.
The dinner took place in the Agricultural Hell, at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, his groan the Duke of Rutland in the chair.
The company consisted of nearly 120 members of the ema-
ciation, amongst whom were the Marquis of Granby, M.P.,
Lord C. S. Manners, M.P., Mr. J. D. Burnaby, Mr. T.
Manners, the Rev. 0. Gillett, the Rev. T. J. Norman, Mr.
Welby, Mr. Charlesworth, &c.
The noble Chairman, on rising, said he should pro-
pose, " Success and prosperity to the Waltham Agricultural
Association." (Cheers.) He would not delay the meeting by
repeating his opinion, which they had heard in former
years, respecting the utility of the association. Having
formed his opinion, he was not a man to give It up, unless
there existed some very sound and conclusive reason for
so doing. (Hear, hear.) The extent to which agricul-
ture use carried out had always been, and ever
would he, the true criterion of • nation's greatness, and
he felt convinced that such associations aa the Waltham
Agricultural Society had a manikat tendency to stimulate
and to promote the agriculture of the kingdom as well as to
strengthen the interests and welfare of all who were con-
cerned in that agriculture ; and therefore be should do his
utmost to support them. (Applause.) He bad investigated
most minutely bath the ploughing and the show-yard, that
day, making proper allowances for the state of the ground
and the dryness of the weather. He considered the plough-
ing have been of • very ovaries' desmlgeima, mere ratt-
ly on the eastern side of the turapike.road, and in the
field No 6, near to it.
Mr. T. C. Beasley. vice-chairman, said the judges who
sat near him considered his grace to be quite right.
(Applause.)

ally a it of more than ordinary magnitude from the
14',..2i,tY and extent of the operations during the last
gsyss but also from oho amount of the trans-
+Mims still carrying on. The decided movement, more
"P,e611 , Y commenced yesterday, still continues, although
rntsome abatement of its animation, and a more
hsahtiaq tendency to a further immediate fall in
EX of much consequence. Consols opened worse,

WS to 1, but they recovered to 031 to 1, and
att aow quoted at, 02/, alternately buyers and sellers,

in money and the account which is nmrly I lower than the
(lotion quotations of yesterday. Although the feel-
ing generally in the house is strongly inclined to
a further considerable depression in funded values,
yet the remarkable scarcity of money stock, coin-
bired with the payments of the dividends to
the public now in progress, are causes which must
exercise some influence in retarding any large or sudden
fall, end so far may prove an obstacle in the way of
speculators who are °pending extensively in that direction.
Reduced Threes are now 931 to 1 ; ThrYe-and-a-quarter per
cents. 941 to I ; Exchequer Bills Se. to 10s. premium.
In the foreign house the dealers are chiefly occupied with
the usual operations of pay-day after the seta meat. From
the paucity of transactions it may be inferred that
there is an indisposition to open new accounts in
foreign secuntim. The quotations stand nominally, for
Spencch Fives, 231 to I ; the Threes, Ili to I. For Portuguese,

executive disorganised, it was nothing more than in the
natural course of things to re-establish that which bad ceased to
exist. Though that existcnoe rested on a principle 01 pacific
neutrality, Cracow would lave nothing hut war. That vest,
Cracow has mule during lateen years of machinations,
sometimes underhanded, sometimes open, and sustained
up to the moment that arms were taken up in a genera
rising. By a consequence naturally resulting from its situ-
ation, the town and its territory will return to the powers t
whom it formerly belonged. That re-union is prompted
by a conviction of the three courts, which amounts in their
eyes to en absolute necesaity, their declaration of which
they have not hesitated to make public.

VII.—M. OUIZOT TO COUNT JARNAC.
PARIS, Nov. 19, 1846.—Monsieur le Comte,—The charg4-
d'affaires of Austria came yesterday, and communicated to
me the despatch and a document of the Prince Mett'rnich,
dated the 6th of this month, annour.cing the resolution taken,
in common with the courts of Vienna, Berlin, and St. Peters
burg, to put an end to the independent existence of the re-
public or Cracow, to unite this cite and its territory to the
Austrian monarchytand exposing the moti yes of this re solution.
I entered open no immediate discussion, nn receiving this
communication ; I simply said to K. de Thom that I would
render an account of it to the king in his council, and I re-
mitted to him, word for word, the language I held, the 2nd
July last, at the Chamber of Peers, on the situa-
tion of the republic of Cracow, and on our own
situation with respect to it. I added that the ideas
I had thus expressed would be necessarily the basis
of my conduct. The same communication must be made,
and probably already made by the time you receive this
letter, to the English government. I should request you to
go to Lord Pahntraton, and to ask him in our name, what
conduct be intends observing in this affair, and whether he
is disposed to come to an understanding concerning it with
us. It is important to us, and evidently of no less import-
once to the serious question thus started, that we should ro-
ceive prompt information on the subject. Place also before
Lord Palms reton my epeeth of the 2nd Jul; last, of which
I here subjoin a copy. I desire to receive your answer with-
out delay.

was a numerous assemblage of electors in the Town Ball, to
whom Mr. Martin was introduced by John Guile, Esq., of
Arkworth-park, a farmer representative of the borough. Mr.
Martin discoursed at some length onthe usual political topics,
in the course of which he avowed his advocacy of prin-
ciples, generally speaking, similar to those entertained
by her Majesty's present advisers. Mr. Martin's obeerva.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
&fore Mr. Cornmiesiooer Evans.

THE WARWICK AND WORCKSTIM RAILWAY COMPANY.—
This was an application by Messrs. Lawrence and Plewe to
open a fiat against the above company. Mr. Lawrence said
a similar application as in the present case had been made in
the case of the London and Birmingham Railway, but the
statute did not provide for this particular case, and the com-
pany did not become bankrupt. The points of the case were
peculiar. There is a difficulty as to whether there is any
appeal front the Court of Bankruptcy to the chief judge,
were the commissioners to decline to adjudicate, and it was
clear that the railway company were not persona associated
together for trading and commereial purposes.
Mr. Com. Evans : Unless there was a trading, no act
of bankruptcy could issue It was very right that he
should express his doubts upon the subject, because the act
of parliament was very badly drawn up, and it required
amendment. The learned commissioner asked who were
the parties he sought to make bankrupts ?—Mr. Lawrence
replied, not any individual members. The company, as a
company, had contracted debts; they had absconded from
their place of business ; and that was an act of bankruptcy.
Mr. Com. Evans thought the ease might be taken to the
Chancellor to obtain his decision; he knew no other way of
doing it.

SPORTING.
DONCASTER RACES-7Tvesnky.

By the assistance of the Electric Telegraph Company, we
were yesterday enabled to give the results of the principal
events decided on Tuesday; we now submit a further and
more detailed return, from which it will be collected that,
although two of the races produced most exciting contests,
the sport altogether was not by any means brilliant. The
weather, fortunately, was propitious, and the company, if
it showed a falling-off in caste, was fair enough for a first
day. The Club and Stewards' Stands were well attended,
and in the enclosure we found moat of the leading operatives
of the turf. Business, however, was very slack, not merely
On the event' of the day—one of which brought out some
Derby and Oaks nags—but on the St. Leger, the transactions
on the latter being so few as scarcely to warrant a quotation.
The town-council are entitled to the thanks of the racing
community for the introduction of the new jockey or starting
telegraph. It is on the same principle as the one used at
York, but is an improvement on it. The appointment of a
" timekeeper " is a novel feature in the management of •
race meeting; the party in office on the present occasion
took great pains, and, except in one instance, the Champagne
Stakes, was very near the mark; believing, however, that he
was not quite correct in the mileand-3-half races, u well as
in the Champagne, we have returned the time in which each
rare was run (rem our own tables. The afternoon's proceed-
oar no further ground for introductory observation.

COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clork.—We have thus far had a quiet morn-
ing, and the day bids fair to pass over without a repe-
tition of any of the unpleasant incidents which cha-
racterised the earlier part of the week. Men of
business are drawn off from their customary occupa-
tions by the Bank meeting now in progress. Much
importance is attached to the proceedings on this oc-
casion. The attendance is, consequently, numerous ;
but, with some show of opposition, the fceling of the
majority is evidently greatly in favour of the existing
management. Allusion has been made to the late
failure of two hon. members, including that of the
late governor, Mr. Robinson, the speakers addressing
the court on the subject being of opinion that it is im-
possible the interests of the public can be properly
attended to if directors came to the consideration of
the matters before the court with minds disturbed,
harrassed, and distracted by the anxieties of their
own private affairs.
The principle upon which the election of new mem-
bers and executive officers of the board is conducted,
' was condemned by Mr. Levy, with some animation ;
hut, upon the whole, there seems to be every proba-
bility of the established system of " house lists,"and so
forth, being maintained by the proprietary with few
dissentient voices. Atter a short attendance at the
meeting, we found that objectors were beginning, by
their tedious addresses (if addresses they can be pro-
perly called), to render their auditory excessively im-
patient, many of the number having already with-
drawn. _ - .

WHAT SEASONING caN Do.-In the Hull County
Court held last week, a saveloy manufacturer was sued fur
the price of a quantity of beef, which he bad purchased at
Is. Sd. per stone of Bibs. The plaintiff deposed that none of
the manufacturers of the dainties known by the above name,
pay any higher prices than the one Lc had charged for the
meat of which they are composed. Mr. Judge Raines ex-
pressed his utmost disgust at the defendant and his whole
fraternity. They deserved to be prosecuted for poisoning the
public. The cause excited much mirth amongst the specta-
tors, excepting those who had replenished their pockets with
food of the dveription alluded to. The que,tion was asked
what state the meat in question was in? A butcher deposed
that the beast had been "killed to save its life," and that the
" meat " was green rather than any other colour. The
judge enquired how it could in any way be made palatable,
anu the answer he received was, " Oh, it', seasoning that
does it."

amounting to a fraudulent preference. Tha affidavits on
the part of the enigmas stated that communications had
taken place between the bankrupt and the petitionen, of
such a nature as to apprise the latter of the approaching
bankruptcy, and that, in consequence of those communica-
tions, the petitioner', on Feb. 14, for the first time, placid •
person In possession of the furniture and effect., the fiat
bating been issued on the following day, on the bankrupt's
own petition, and grounded upon a declaration of insolvency,
filed on the suns day on which the possession was
taken. It appeared that the bankrupt remained in the
bowie while the petitioner's agent was in possession.
Mr. Swindon, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Glasse, in support of
the petition, said that the possession was taken before the
awning of the flat,end without notioe of any act ofbanlsruptcy,
and consequently was protected by the 2 and 3 Viet., c. 29, and
they cited " Re Stylus," 2 Montagu ; Deacon, and De Get,
219. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Busk fur the assignees contended
that as possession was obtained by means of the voluntary
art of the bankrupt, on the same day on which the de-
claration of insolvency was filed, it could °outer no title.
The Chief Judge said the only question, if question there
were, seemed to be whether the sort of joint possession of
the bankrupt and tha petitioners was sufflaent. The quell.
tion might be tried in an action, if the assignees wished. The
terms on which an action was to be brought were arranged
accordingly.

TOZZIBe 800IFTT OF BRIMTOL.—CHAILITT.—QUISTION an
TO SOZPL•111 Raters. This appeal from a decree of the
Master of the Rolla, ordering the defendants to *mune for
the rents of estates conveyed to their society in 1708, for
Nippon of a charity, was partly argued last Saturday.
There was use imputation entitle by the information or by the
decree that the defendants did not duly perform the trusts
{litho charity, to the extent of its original constitution in
1710 ; but the question was as to the application of the iv-
greased rests of the charity estates, which were more than
treble the amount of what they were then. The information
imaistod that the surplus rents were to ,be applied to
as extension of the charity, and that was the opinion
of the Master of the Rolls. The Merchant Venturen'
twisted that the estates were oonveyed to their use upon
rendition of always maintaining and educating 100 boys, and
putting them out ea apprentices, &e., from time to time ;
that their expenses in performing that condition exceeded for
many years the rents of the estates; and now, that the rents
happen to exceed the ex;enditure, they are entitled to the
myths fe their own use and benefit.
Mr. Bothell, Mr.J. Parker, and Mr. Osborne, for the appel-
lants, supported the above construction of the deed founding
the charity, contending that it was in the nature of • contract
entered into by the defendants' predecessors to have the
whole rents, upon condition of performing the specified
Matta, and they relied much cn the authority of a Judgment
by the Lad Chaneelior, in a late case of " Jack e. Burnett,"

THE AtieletraV Comcrwrs.—The first of theso con-
sents for this season took place let Light, under the direction
of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The per-
formance, as usual, was conducted by Sir Ilene), Bishop.
The program-sae did not exhibit that &Free rat research
which has been oh-ereshle for several seasons par, since Sir
H. Bishop became regularly connected with these concerts, but
was made up of material* which hare been familiar to their
*squinter' for many seers past. There were the usual pieces
et Handel; the Coronation anthem, the Hallelujah chorus
the Hone and his Rider " the overture to the ocessionai
Oratorio, and the air " if guiltless blood " from Susanne.
His eleventh grand Concerto, however, had something of the
effect of novelty, from not hoeing been heard for a good many
years. The violin part was played by Mr. Blagrove with a
Arm hand, and in a sound Ilandelian style; and the effect
Mthis broad, simple, and mobil oompoeition was vary imposing,
besides forming on interesting contrast with the concerto-
tenting of the present day. The air from "Susannah" was
song by Maw 'tibia Birch, a promising young performer,
whose vocal poems, however, proved unt quid to a composi-
tion which demands so much depth and intensity of expres-
sion. The selection from Mozart's Mar had much beauty,
especially the " Agnus i," n hieh was ailminibly song by
Madame Caradori Allan; but it is one of the things that are
too often repeated at these concerto. The same thing is the
ere with the rents from the " Sacrillzio d'Abramo" of Clai-
mer; it was well executed, however, by Mir Barano,
though same of the florid purges of the air wen too high for
her voice. The beautiful recitative, " Nel chine, centre,"
and the air " Y.uridice, a dove sei," from YergolesYs cantata
Orfeo e Ruridice," a fine specimen of that great composer's
melody and expression, gave Maclaine Caradori an oppor-
tunity of shoeing how thoroughly she understands and
eaters into the Style of the old Italian masters. Several
ether pieces were well sung, by Madame Carsidori, Mir M.
Williams, Mr. Lackey, sad Mr. F. Lablache. The
choral singing was good; but, as usual at the
eireerte, the voices were often buried beneath a
weight of brass. We observe that the dates of
the subsequent concerts are changed. The second, an-
nounced for Las 24th instant, is postponed to the
Minot April; and the others follow every alternate Wed.
nesday (in place of bring, as formerly, every week), the
eighth and last concert being on the 7th of July, and the
supplementary performances of "The Messiah" for the bere-
ft of the Royal Satiety of Musicians, being on the 14th of
July.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

The Bank of England averages for the week ending
the IGth instant, show the following differences, as compared
with the returns of the week preceding : —The issue was in
decades by 326,7851. ; the average amount being reduced
to 27,22.5,336/. The active circulation was in decrease by
157,4751. ; the notes out among the public being reduced
to 20,679,370/. ; whilst the unemployed reserve of notes
in the banking department had diminished to 6.715,2651., or
say 169,2901. less than the week before. Public deposits
were 5,034,1891., or less by 828,4421. The privateer other de.
posits were 10.339,7261., or more by 454,9591. " Other "
securities were 14,450,7111., or less by 14,3371.; government
securities in the banking department being the same no
before. Coin and bullion stood, on average, at 13,948,6811.,
or 359,3411. less than the week before. The "rest " had in-
creased by 31,435/.
It will be observed that the bullion had decreased in a
much less proportion than was generally anticipated. An
impression prevailed in moat quarters, from the exaggerated
statements implied or expressed in a certain morning print,
that the falling off would he little, irony, short of a million.
Of the metallic values taken away, about 125,0001. were
in sovereigns for the United Sta•ee, mainly by the Sarah
Sands, and probably about 150,0001. in silver for France ;

COURT OF BINXRUPTCY.

Before Mr. Commissioner llotroyd.
BOOLRELLINO.—This was a meeting for the choice of
assignees. The bankrupt, J. Bohn, was an extensive book-
seller in King William-s•.reet and St. James'estrect. Mr.
Sturgeon, for certain creditors, mid the bankrupt had been in
trade at the places abrve stated for about two years. The
debts were about 19,0001., and unless a certain party be
made a partner, nod other transactions be set aside, there
would be not a farthing for the creditors. The bankrupt
was examined, and stated that he had been in business for
thirteen years. lie had been a bankrupt about three Tears
ago, when his debts amounted to 21,0001. upon which a
dividend of one shilling and ninepence in the pound bad
been paid. He started with no capital except an advance
from three other gentlemen. Mr. OR, an attorney, had lent
him 4000 acconling to his (Orr's) statement. He (the bank-
rupt) had received no account. Mr. Ore had security by
deed of assignment upon the book debts and stock, to the
amount of about 2,6001. Mr. Ore was his banker, solicitor,
and agent to pay the bills. He (On) received the money in
the shop as it was taken. He could only make out his
balance sheet by reference to Mr. Orr's books. He had an
interest of about2,oool. in Dugdale's " M nnasti con," which had
been assigned to Captain Long. He had a share in the Sur-
plice newspaper. He was registered proprietor, sub-editor,
and publisher.—Assignees were then chosen, and the pro-
ceedings terminated.

COURT OF REQUESTS (Towers HAsturrs).
REFUSAL OP BURIAL RITES.— Mr. COOk, an under-
taker in Cannon-street, and sexton of St. George's.in-
, the-East, appeared before the commissioners of this court
' to answer a summons issued at the instance of Mr. Hagerty,
an appraiser in Rosemary-lane. Some time since a sister.
in-law of the complainant flung herself over the bridge in
Old Gravel-lane. Au inquest sat on the body, and as there
was no evidence as to the girl's state of mind, Mr. Baker, the
coroner, issued a warrant for her interment. Mr. Hagerty
paid the usual fees to the defendant, understanding
from him that the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, would
perform the burial rites. Just so the body was about
to proceed for sepulture, Mr. Hagerty was told that
the burial service could not be performed, and the
body was hastily interred without the usual rites.
Mr. Haguty summoned the Rev. Bryan King to this court
on Tuesday last; but as there was no proof of the receipt of
the money by the rev. gentleman, the summons was dis-
missed. He then took out the present summons against Mr.
Cook for the recovery of the burial feu, amounting to 10a.
Mr. Cook, in his defence, said that he had paid the money to
Mr. King's clerk.—The commissioners, after some discus-
sion, ordered the defendant to pay 10s. and costs, oboes-sing
at the same time that if the money had been paid by him to
the Rev. Bryan King, the decision did not preclude him
from seeking his remedy against that rev. gentleman.
