The seventeenth annual ploughing match of the society
took place on Monday, on Hennbarough Farm, in the
occupation of Mrs. Beazley, near Newton. Operations
were commenced at an early hour in the presence of
many of the yeomanry of the district. The practice was
considered very good. Two other branches of agricultu-
ral labour, thatching and hedging, were also prosecuted
on the ground, the latter with great vigour, and were
watched with considerable interest. Prizes are awarded
at these meetings to both male and female labourers for
length of agricultural service and for industry; also, to
tenant farmers for ability and excellence in cultivation of
estates.
At four o'clock about 100 gentlemen and farmers
assembled at Beazley's Globe Hotel, Newton, and sat
down to a substantial dinner. Lawrence Palk, Esq.,
M.P. for South Devon, presided.
After the usual loyal and other routine toasts had
been drunk, "The Health of the Chairman" was pro-
posed, and received most enthusiastically.
In acknowledging the compliment, Mr. Palk said it
was now some years since he first bad the honour of
dining with them on such an occasion. They had often
bad happy meetings, but he must say he felt extremely
flattered at seeing the large and important assembly then
before him. He was aware he must not take the entire
compliment of supposing it to he the effect of his pre- L'z
siding on that occasion, but he might take it as a proof
that he had done nothing to induce them to withhold 'u
40
that confidence which they had reposed in him, and that a w
they were so far glad to ree him. (Cheers.) Deeply con-
cerned as the happiness and prosperity of this country st.
were in the whole question of agriculture, therenever was 25
a time when the question was of greater importance than ss 2e
it was at this moment, when we were engaged in a great 10
war, and he believed a war that was just, holy, and ne-
cessary. (Cheers.) There was scarcely a house in the land :te
in which it had not occasioned sorrowing and tears ;
J.
but they were reconciled to their bereavements by the ,
reflection that those who fell fought for a great and glo- „
rious cause. (Hear.) But, practically speaking, although
we did not see the "horrors of war," it iutroduced a .0
series of evils into this country, which it was our duty
to firesee and provide against. One material operation
of the war was to impede the introduction of foreign Si
corn into this country, and so to throw on the agricul-
turista the necessity of increasing the produce of the soil
to provide for the wants of the population. And hero,
though politics were forbidden to be introduced into
their assemblies—and he was the last man who would
attempt to infringe that rule—he must make a passing
allusion to times gone by, when agriculturists were in 2
great distress, and when they were coldly told by those a
who had effected a certain great political change that if S
they (the farmers) could not grow corn they had better S
turn their attention to something else. (Hear.) He ''
was happy to say the energy of the agricultural interest
did not desert them at that critical time—they di I not !I
turn away to other pur-uite, but they devoted tin it at- 11,'
tention to the growing of larger crops, or newer and bet- s
ter methods. (Hear.) Another result of the war which
they would have to contend against was the great de-
mand it created for human life. From every part of the
country the young and active man, who in peaceful
times would have become a labourer on the soil or a •,:;,
mechanic in the mill, was hurried off to the seat of war,
and consequently a want of labour had for some time
been felt. He had experienced it himself, and it had
been called very seriously to his attention. There was
another sad reflection he could not help making—it
Beane l that the farmer had not now the control over
his labourer which he used to have. He had been told
by many agriculturists that if they complained of the
conduct of a mall, or said a word to him, he demanded
his day's wages, away he went and left the employer in
a disagreeable position. He was satisfied that much
of the damage that was supposed to be accidentally
done to crops and plant of the farmer was due to the
negligence of idle boys. In olden times there was a
system—he (Ad not pretend to say it was faultless, but
it was attended with most excellent results—he meant
the system of apprentiCeship The boy was carefully in-
structed in his duties by the farmer, while the girl was
probably brought up under the eye of the mistress of the
house, and both became useful members of society ; but
he regretted t say there was now a system which he
hoped was not prevalent, but which had lately come
uncles his notice, and which would be most unfortunate if _
it became general—he meant the system of taking and
dismissing servants without a character. This was a
serious matter; for it appeared to him that the character
of every man, whether he was the servaut in the farm,
or one who served his country in the senate— was dear to
him and should be given to him. If they withheld from
the honest servant the character which he had richly de
served, what recompense did they offer him t It was not
the wages that the servant earned, nor the home that
the master gave, which was most highly prized, but the
hope of rising in his station—a hope which should bean in-
ducement to everyman and woman to do well, and which
should be encouraged. Another question which had
lately attracted much attentinn amongst those who wished
well to the agricultural interest, was that of education—
one worthy the attention of every man who had the
well being of his fellow-creatures at heart. The time
was gone by when men would be contented with what
they saw immediately around them- Toe facilities of
railroads induced men to travel, and the cheapness of
literature gave them a taste for research. It was to the
cheapness of literature, the opportunity of mixing with
practical men, and of seeing different customs in diffe-
rent countries that the marked improvement in Devon
farming was to be attributed. They bad introduced a
very superior system of cultivation into this county, and
many if the improvements they had seen practised in
other countries. But, reverting to education, he much
regretted that no general measure bearing on it had yet
met with the approbation of the Legislature of this coun-
try. He recollected attending night after night in the
House of Commons, and listening to debates on the ques-
tion, hut, like many men of greater experience, he did at
last reluctantly confess in his own mind that the ques-
tion of education was the most difficult that he hail ever
attempted to grapple with. It was difficult because
there were so many circumstances tl.at had effect on edu-
cation. Besides the separation of houses in agricultural
districts, there was the greater obstacle of young child-
ren being early called to labour and made assistants in
the support of themselves, and it would probably be
difficult, if not unjust, to enforce education under these
circumstances. Still, little by little, the question of edu-
cation would press itself on the attention of all, and pos-
sibly some plan would at ia.-1 be devised by which, if
education should not be rendered compulsory by law,
it should be rendered oompulsory through the public ap-
preciating the benefits that would flow from it. So much
had the necessity for education impressed the minds of
those who took a lead in the legislature of this country,
that they would see a noble lord (Lord Ehrington),
whose antecedents were certainly not very particularly
associated with the agricultural interests—had at last
arrived at the decision that education would he a great
boon to the agriculturists, and that agriculture was a
science worthy of support and assistance. He had, there-
fore, offered a prize, which he (Mr. Palk) hoped would
be well contested for, to the farmer's son who was most
proficient in history, geography, and mathematics. The
noble
aright
lord had undoubtedly given this prize with every
desire that it aright stimulate the rising
industry of the
sans of agriculturists. Whether the subjects that had
been selected were the best adapted to agr r.i but
rsts
he would leave to more practical men to determine '
this he knew, that the knowledge of history would never
do any one harm,geographymight
be the knowledge of
be very beneficial to agriculturists, and that an ac-
quaintance with practical mathematics would include a
kind of information bearing on many of the requirements
of the farmer. (Hear.) He hoped on Thursday next
to have the honour of meeting a large body of Rgricut.
turists in his neighbourhood, to show them a system—
largely adopted in otber countie, but not. carried to
such an extent as he had attempted to carry it—a system
of meadow irrigation. Fer the last 6or
.7 years, with
be believed, bore a
the assistance of a tenantry, who,
richly-deserved reputation in this county, hie handdbeen
remodelling some valleys, and turning orcharr s, e ges,
i
lanes, and horrible holes, so he called them, into what
had now become green and fertile meadows ir.n-
gated under a system that made the most of the running
ppid not
water, the atmosphere, and the sunshine. (Alause.)
In conclusion, he asked the society why they
give prizes for landlords as well as for tenant-farmers
d
and labourers I (Cheers.) He would most gladly com-
pete. Perhaps they would tell him that they already
gave a high prize for landlords, and he admitted it, for
where the landlord endeavoured to do his best for his
tenantry, there they would find the best and most enter-
prising of tenants. (Loud cheers )
Other toasts were proposed and responded to, and the
chairman soon after retired ; the meeting, however, did
not break up until a late hour.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Comtnis-ioner Evans.)

IN RE SIR ROBERT PRICE, BART.

This was a meeting for choice of assignees.

Mr. Lawrence (of Lawrence, Plews, and Co.), ap-
pea red in support of the petition; Mr. Linklater for the
ban tkrupt.

1 !he bankrupt, at the time of the presenting of the
petition, was member of Parliament for Hereford, and
car• tied on an extensive business as an iron master at
th, Sunder Iron Works, North Wales. He was de-
ribed as of Stratton-street, Piccadilly, and of Foxley,
H erefordshire, iron master, dealer and chapman.

Mr. David Lloyd, of Rood-lane, City, wholesale
,rocer, and Mr. Robert Simpson, of Charlotte row,
City, were appointed assignees. _ .

It was understood that the accounts showed a defici-
mcy of 30,0001., but that there W 0.3 sufficient property
I ;o meet the liabilities, and that, in consequence, an
ipplication would be made to supersede the bankruptcy.

V OLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

THE OLD DODGE.—Thomas Richards was placed at the
I )ar, charged with being concerned with others in do-
I rauding Captain N. A. Lindholm, of the Swedish
i schooner Sabina, now lying in the Commercial Docks,
of 221. 103., by card-playing.
Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prisoner.

to this court, and a warrant was granted for her . Lppre- i

It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor
met a man yesterday, on one of the river steamers, who
eJered him part of his umbrella, and, as it was raining,
he accepted it. They afterwards went to the Anchor
and Hope, Lower Thames-street, where they saw two
men sitting in the parlour. The usual ignorance of each
other was assumed at their meeting, but shortly after
one of them spoke, and a cigar box was produced. After
that some cards made their appearance, and betting
commenced, the prosecutor at first winning 45., 205.,
and other small sums, which were paid him. Some
other persons carne in, when the prisoner Paid he did not
like -to— be seer; betting in public, and they all
adjourned to a house in Lower Thames-street, and
resumed card playing. He lost all the money he had in
his pocket, 21. 10s., on which the man he met in the
steam-boat told him that the prisonercould lend him
50/. or 1001. if he wanted it. He went on playing and
lost 201., for which he gave the prisoner an order on
his owners for the amount. The owners had not paid
the money nor would they now.

The prisoner, although he had never been in custody
before, was well known to the police, as a man who
picked up captains of vessels and others to be fleeced in
this way.

The Lord Mayor said that in this case the prisoner
had not obtained the money, and under the circum-
stances, as the captain was likely to leave London in a
few days, he discharged the prisoner. He ordered the
policeman to band back to the captain the order he had
given for the payment of the money which was found
upon the prisoner when he was apprehended.
Mr. Lewis at first objected, but his lordship peremp-
torily directing it to be done, Mr. Lewis said it mat-
tered not as the prisoner could sue the captain without
it for money lent.

The Lord Mayor—Sue indeed. I should think he
would know better than do it. His lordship having

tension.

Gueet, 62 L, one of the warrant officers of the alurt,
said he took her into custody last night, and locked her
up in the Stone's-end station-house.
John Mills, 171 M, said he was on duty last eveni, ig
ehortly before five o'clock, when the prisoner wf s
brought to the station-house by Guest, and charged of
a warrant. About five minutes after she was locked up,
witness, who had charge of the cells, heard a shuffling
noise proceed from the ons she was locked in. He im-
mediately proceeded there, and on opening the door ho
perceived her lying on the filer with a piece of string
tied tightly round her neck. She was in convulsions,
and nearly black in the face. Witness cut the oord and
sent for Dr. Odling, who attended immediately and re-
stored her to her senses. Some time after that she was
taken ill again from the effects of the attempt she had
made on her life.

Mr. A'Beekett asked her what she had to say
for attempting to take away her life 9 She replied that
she did not know. Her senses must have left her at the
time.

Guest, the summoning officer, informed the magistrate
that there were charges against her by other individuals

GUILDHALL.

John Bowman, who was charged yesterday before Mr.
Alderman Finnis with violently assaulting his wife, was
again placed at the bar.

Mr. A'Beckett said, that if such was the case he
shculd remand her to gaol until that day. In the mean-
time she would have an opportunity of reflecting on the
crime she had czmmitted in attempting to destroy her-
self.

She was accordingly remanded until Monday next.

THE GALES AND THE SHIPPING.

WHITBY, Wednesday.—On Monday night a strong
gale from the E.N.E. sprang up on this coast, with 9.
heavy sea and rain, which continue to this time. No
vessels appeared at sea until 4 p.m. on Tuesday, when a
lumber keel came into Whitby roads, with the inten-
tion of taking the port, but when within a quarter of a
mile from the harbour mouth, two heavy waves struck
her in succession, the second dashing into her mainsail,
whereupon she immediately upset, and all bands were
drowned. The hull, bearing on the stern "Hannah of
Goole," drifted on shore about two mitles north..of the
harbour, where, without much injury, it still remains.
The name "Hannah" is also painted in white letters on
the quarter board. None of the bodies have yet washed
up. About 8 p.m. on Tuesday, the brig Finland Smith, of
Hartlepool, came on shore about a mile to the northward,
and was immediately followed by the Friendship, Brackley,
also of Hartlepool, which made the sands a little to the
northward of the Finland. About 9.30 p. in. the brig Con-
tent, Howes, also of Hartlepool, likewise ran on shore
two or three hundred yards to the northward of the har-
bour. The three last-mentioned brigs were all in ballast,
from Hamburg, and their crews sra saved. The Finland
and Content will most likely be got off, but the Friend-
ship is in a less fortunate position, being o❑ the Lector
Rock. The coast guard rendered most efficient service
to all the vessels by showing port fires, which, by at-
tracting them to Whitby SAnd4, prevented their destruc-
tion on the rocks to the northward and southward.

The Alderman stated there could be no doubt that
the prisoner had been guilty of a violent assault on his
wife,!and her irritating conduct towards him was no jus-
tification of what he had done. They were both drunk,
and not considering it, under all the circumstances, an
aggravated assault, he sentenced him to 21 days' im-
prisonment with hard labour.

The heavy gales continue to cause considerable damage
amongst the shipping. The latest accounts received from
the outports report, as will be seen below, the wreck of
a considerable number of ships :
LOWESTOFFE, Oct. 31.—The Planet, from Memel, went
ashore on the Newcome, yesterday, and has become a
total wreck ; crew landed ; the cargo is being saved.
CROMAR, Oct. 31.—H.M. gun-boat Hind got on shore
at Clay this morning ; the crew all landed.
RRDCAR, Oct. 30.—A vessel was seen to founder this
morning near the Redcar Rocks, with ail bands. From
papers which have come ashore, she appears to have been
the Wallborg, schooner, of Hosfanaes, Larsson, bound
to Newcastle, with oats. The Rebecca, brig, of South
Shields, Webster, drove ashore near the Tees, this after-
noon, and is expected to become a wreck ; crew saved.
SCARBOROUGH, Oct. 30.—The Miner, Cockburn, from
Hamburg for Newcastlt, in ballast, came ashore in this
bay, at 4 p.m., during a heavy gale; crew saved by the
lifeboat. The Hebe, Burton, of and for Wisbeach,
from Sunderland, with coal, went on shore in Filey
Bay this mooning, during a heavy gale from E. to
E.N.E., waterlogged, and in a sinking state ; crew
saved.

HARTLIPOOL, Oct 30—The Marys, of Whitby, struck
nn the South Pier in entering the West Harbour this
morning, and has sunk in the tidal harbour. The Nep-
tune (brig), of Whitby, a Swedish galliot, and a British
schooner are on shore on the sa,nd S. of West Hartle-
pool. . .

SUNDERLAND, Oct. 30.—The Thetis, of Sunderland,
Willian.s, from Holland, in ballast, has been driven on
shore south of Hendon, during a hard N.E. gate.

from N.E. The Canada, of London, is ashore on Seaton
Sands. and two vesQels are on shore near Blyth.
MARGATE, Oct. 30.—The Dutch schooner Jantje
Meier, Do Jonge, irom Newcastle for Geneva, wars
totally lost on the Kentish Knock this morning, during
thick weather. The crew took to their boats, and were
picked up by the Secret lugger, of Viis place, soon after
they had left the vessel. and landed here.
SHIELDS. Oct. 30.—Toe Marco Polo, of Goole, Hiles,
from Barking to Leith, with bark, got on the Herd
Sand this morning, during a N.E. gate, and remains.
Stores are being landed ; crew saved.

Blackwood.—Although " Zaidee" is not actually
completed in this November number of Blackwood
as we anticipated, it proves that we have not been
so very far wrong after all in our calculation. Next
month will positively witness its last appearance.
A thirteenth instalment of the serial which. has
I now for twelvemonths been the principal charm of
' Maga will bring the narrative to a close—of course
with the restoration of Zaidee to the Grange in
(Theshire, and of course with her marriage with
Plilip, the invisible hero of the fiction : whose
norWrn. to England, by the way, is among the last
I incidents of the story here foreshadowed. Part
twelve acquaints us with the manner in which
Elizabeth Cumberland, otherwise Zaidee Vivian,
acquaints her family in the " old house at home"
of her continued existence, of her perennial ten-
derness of affection for them one and all, of the
anguish with which she had recently discovered
that her plans had been (unknown to herself the
while) from first to last egregious failures, and of
her determination never to wrong those she loved
so dearly by accepting the fortune so strangely be-
queathed. to her by her grim old grandsire.
The first communication received by Mrs. Vivian
from her poor lost Zaidee, Zaidee transmits her-
self in a pacqnet, with which she trudges over one
day from Malvern to Worcester. The second,
containing a deed of gift by which the heiress
makes over her unacceptable possessions uncondi-
tionally to her aunt, she forwards to Mrs. Vivian
at the Grange, through the medium of a London
lawyer, one Mr. Furnival, to whom she is intro-
duced by queer, good-natured, witty Mr. Steele,
the artist, who is R.A. to nobody else but the
Duke of Scattergood. Throughout the whole num-
ber, in truth, the secret of the romance trembles
on the brink of revelation. Mary more than sus-
pects it. Percy has it every now and then all but
within his, grasp. And yet to the last—as far as
we have been allowed to penetrate the labyrinth
of the plot—the mystery continues to this moment
unsolved, and the beautiful Elizabeth Cumberland,
although in reality no other than Zaidee the
Heiress, continues to all about her no more than
the adopted child of a sentimental fine lady and a
crack-brained amateur-philosopher. "An Old
Contributor at the Sea Side," in other words,
one of the Chiefs of Blackwood, the Learned
Recorder of Hull, and the gifted author of " Ten
Thousand a Year," the creator of Gammon and
Titmouse, of the beautiful Kate Aubrey, and the
abominable Huckaback—brings to a conclusion his
charming, gossipping, garrulous chat upon the sea-
shore about all things in general and nothing in
particular. tieaders of Maya will turn over the
pages dedicated to the discursive talk of this de-
lightful " Contributor" with a heart and a half !
So genial it is, so quaint, so full of unexpected
turns of humour—sounding in a manner the whole
gamut of feeling, from that of the sublime down to
that of the simply ridiculous. Witness this—the
luxurious description given by the writer, of the
very delectable state of kef (to borrow a Moslem
idiom for the nonce) enjoyed by him, with a true
appreciation of the dolce far niente, in the amiable
company of the sagacious and übiquitous
Tickler ! Or his droll confessions about the secret
puffing out of the abhorred Albert Night Light,
or his yet droller celebration of that singularly cool
enjoyment of the " Starlight." What is meant by
the little paragraph headed " Criticism" is best
known to Eusebius, or Irensens, or whomsoever
may be the recipient ofßlackwood's correspondence.
To those who, like ourselves, don't happen to be in
the secret, the hidden meaning of it, is altogether
as inscrutable as is the opinion of the " Old Con-
tributor " in regard to the hinted cause of Maud
v. Cordelia. However, delightful the whole contri-
bution is for the most part, from its commencement
in October to its conclusion in November—the pro-
minent charm of the later moiety being discernible
in that exquisitely humorous 2Esopian or Pilpayan
dialogue between the Author and Tickler—Tickler,
by the way, speaking now and then as he should
do by nature, and therefore by right, somewhat
dogmatically, but modestly withal, as becomes a
dog of his breeding and evident self-possession. We
turn the last gay leaf of the contribution with
a sigh Ehen, vale et benedicitc I An earnest
tribute is offered to the memory of Professor
Johnston through the medium of au eulogistic criti-
cism upon his last work, " The Chemistry of Com-
mon Life." The first article in the November

number of Blackwood being in reference to "The
Eastern Shores of the Black Sea," the lait is more
comprehensively directed to the whole question of
the " War Politics," explaining very lucidly, for
the benefit of every ignoramus, like Mr. John
Bright, of Manchester, the precise nature of the
objects for which we are just now fighting. Major
namley draws to a close his animated narrative,
in thirty-two chapters, of the " Story of the Cam-
paign of Sebastopol"—a valuable fragment of con-
temporary history, now on the eve of separate pub-
lication. Besides these half-dozen papers of varied
interest., there are two others before us not
yet particularised. One a flippant jumble
of literary "notices" anent certain "Travel-
lers' Tales " recently given to the world as
among the contributions to modern light
literature—a pert cluster of pragmatic reviews,
in which the writer betrays at once inordinate lack
of judgment and incorrigible self-sufficiency.
Among other evidences of which are the sneers di-
rected against one of the pleasantest books of travel
for a long time past submitted to the notice of the
reading public—we mean the " Wabash" of Mr.
Beste, a genuine book, a book of undoubted ability,
racy, genial, and unaffected. It appears to us ra-
ther bungling upon a matter of taste, when Black-
wood falls foul of the very title of the " Wabash "
—scouting it either as a catchpenny or as a mere
conceit—rather bungling, we say, at the very time
when, from the great house of George-street, Edin-
burgh, there has just come forth that volume by
Laurence Oliphant, entitled "Minnesota." What,
we ask, is the precise value of the difference ? Six
for the " Wabash " and half-a• dozen for " Minne-
sota I" A river, we take it, may quite as well as
any district, furnish• a title for a traveller's book of
adventures. The other paper not yet mentioned
as completing the contents of the current Black-
wood, affords us, through a Letter to Irenams,
halt-an-hour's chit-chat about " Paris and the Ex-
hibition." Sic transit, &e.—whether as to the
Edinburgh Magazine or the Paris Exhibition.

Dublin University. A Tale from Oriental His-
tory entitled "Sultan Akba,l's Love," or "The
Siege of Chittore," is of considerable interest, and
contains some curious accounts of Eastern manners
and customs. The story is narrated in a spirited
style, and the unfortunate Rajah and his beautiful
queen are a worthy hero and heroine of romance,
from their courage and constancy, and from their
perilous careers and untimely end. The wild and
ungovernable Sultan besieged Chittore for the pur-
pose of carrying away the Queen Padwani, of whose
beauty ho had heard a fabulous description. He
wished to accomplish his purpose by stratagem,
and pretended to relinquish the siege. In a final
interview which he requested with the Rajah he
contrived to make the latter a prisoner. After
many devices and deceits, unworthy of a great
warrior, he succeeded in inveigling Padmani to her
husband's prison. However, the beautiful object
of all this turmoil was too wise, and by a clever
stratagem she sent her brother and some of his
friends, disguised, in a litter. With the assistance
of these devoted adherents the Rajah escaped, but '
only to exchange an ignoble for a glorious death.
The Sultan returned to the siege, and the Rauh
died defending his fortress. When the conqueroresof
entered he found a funeral pyre, in the

House of Darkbrothers" promis s to bo a very
interesting story. There are some peculiar cha-
racters introduced, which are graphically described,
and some of them are amusing in their consequen-
tial self-importance. The incident of the mob
surrounding the house of the arrogant Lord Pam-
padour is ably told, and the advantage which fore-
thought and courage poasess over proud pomposity
and haughty self-conceit are very apparent. In
the "Dramatic Writers of Ireland" Richard Lalor
Sheil appears under notice. It is said that "it is
difficult to fix the exact rank which he is entitled
to hold as a dramatist. He cannot for a moment
be placed on a level with Knowles, and is, perhaps,
not superior Maturin. As an orator lie ti aks
