SIR J. S. PAKINGTON, BART., M.P.

I WORCESTER, Saturday.---The annual meeting of the
Worcestershire AgriculturaleSociety was held here yes-
terday.
Sir J. S. PAKINGTON, in the course of his address,
congratulated the agriculturists upon their present pros-
pects, by which he did not mean the mere obtaining of
Wgh prices, which undoubtedly had in some degree been
• caused by the circumstance of the war. He believed
those prices had been for some time higher than was
consistent with the luterest of any class. He did not
believe that the occupiers of the land would desire that
the prices of agricultural produce should remain so high
as they had been during the last two or three years ;
but, on the other hand, they had a right to hope that
prises would not relax to any lowness of range which
could not be bores by the farmer in a manner consistent
with that prosperity which was in a great degree owing
to his own energy, spirit, and skill, but in some degree
also to the circumstance. 4 of the times in which he lived.
They must all the time when if they met a
farmer in the sti set, and wanted to put him in a good
humour, all they had to do was to tell him that he was
ht peleFisly and irretrievably ruined. Nothing was more
unaccountable t.) him than an attempt at consolation;
' ski( h was the state of depres,don which then existed.
The 14lit hon. bar-,net then went on to notice the ful-
fierce, of his anticipations as to the itfluence of the
discoveries of go•ld in Australia and California, in pre-
venting the injuries which the free trade measures
would otherwise have entailed oil this country. He con-
siderel those gold discoveries had been neither m.:re nor
less than a merciful interposition of Providence to meet
tee circumstances of the timer, the requirements of an
increasing population, and to promote the advance of
civilisation. He considered that the prosperity of eom-
merce and manufactures, and also that of the landed in-
terest, was attributable in no small degree to the immense
influx of the precious metals which had marked the last
few years, and which he believed would benetici,ily epee
rate in future. Nor was tht all. These few disastrous
years had taught them that the practice of agriculture
was governed by the same laws as any other csenpation,
that the time had &tone by when the man who had nei-
ther money enough nor wit enough for any other preten-
sion might take a farm and say he would try and live
upon it. It a wan was to succeel as a farmer, be
must approach his business as he would any other ; he
must have adequate capital, brains, training, and skill. .
The same conditions applied to the man who undertook
to farm a piece of land as to a man who undertook to be
a banker, or merchant, or manufacturer. Tney had
learned that, if they meant to live upon the land, they
must show confidence in the land, aid place their capi-
tal upon it, and then they would certainly succeed. He
asked them to consider the millions of money which had
hem spent in guano alone during the last few years;
' the hundreds of thousands of acres which the spirit of
English agriculturists had recently brought into oul
titalfon ; and lastly, upon the millions of money—he
thought he might safely say millions—which had been
spent under the wise, judicious, and liberal conduct of
the government of this country in deep draining the
land. He spoke with diffidence upon this particular
question ; for, although not a very young man, he was
a much younger farmer than many of the gentlemen pre-
sent, but he believed deep draining to be one of the
most important branches of agriculture, and that nothing
paid better for an investment of capital. As to agricul-
tural statistics he considered it most desirable to ootain
them, and especially for the benefit of the agriculturists
themselves. He did not believe, however, that they
could be collected effectually without the good-will and
hearty co-operation of the farmers themselves. He be-
lieved and hoped that some good system would be dis-
covered which was not inquisitorial in its nature. In
conclusion he said the prosperity of the land was not
simply the welfare of an individual farmer, nor of a
class, nor of a district, but the welfare of a great com-
munity, of which they were all proud to be members.
(Cheers.)
Other toasts of a local character followed.

LORD C. BUSS! LL ON AGRICULTURAL
STATISTICS.

At the annual meeting of the Bedfordshire Agricultu-
ral Society, held on Friday last, at Woburn Abbey, the
seat of his Grace the Duke of Bedford, Lord Charles
' Russell, in the course of his speech, made the following
observations :—The subject of agricultural statistics was
rather a vexed question. He had upon previous occa-
sions ventured, in an off-hand kind of manner, to pro-
nounce himself favourable to their collection. Of course
no one can for a moment doubt the importance of infor-
mation of all kinds to farmers. I have no hesitation in
saying that that which I covet most for myself and my
Islands is information. But, on the other hand, if there
is one thing more than another at which my nature re-
volts it is the horrors of the inquisition. Now, there is
a very old saying, that truth lies at the bottom of the
well. This is an abstract tiuth, but the fact is that
truth lies in the middld of it. It is just the attainment
of that golden m• which would be so desirable in
sk r collection of agricultural statistics. Why, how
Important they oust Lc. It was only yesterday, whets
riding over this estate, I heard a conversation which
bad arisen between smite farmers as to the probable cost
of cattle during this autumn, and everything reiaticg to
this point turned upon the nature of the turnip crop ;
but the very besVnfornaed gentleman present did not
seem to know whether the erop was good or bad throug4-
out England, and theretore they had not sufficient data
upon which to form their opinion. If, then, it was de-
sirable in such a case to obtain information to enable
them to lay in their autumnal stock, how much more
important was it to have correct information with r,
spcct to corn, the great staple of the country which pro-
duces ttie food of man. I have said that the whole of
the difficulty of this question crises in its solution, and
I want to know who is so fitted to come to an accurate
solution as the farmers themselves. At present, as it ap-
pears to me, the question is somewhat equivocally dealt
with. One scarcely knows the opinion of the agricultu-
ral world upon the subject. Some are for, some against
it; but no one appears very much in earnest about it, for
no one lays his shoulder to the wheel to collect the
general opinion. If agriculturists were really in earnest,
and really desirous to cast off the certain stigma under
which they will labour as long as people are under the
impression that they want to keep back something, they
woald collect the opinions of all penons interested in
the question, and then, either through their representa-
tives in Parliament, or by means of a deputation to the
Home Secretary, make known their view and wishes to
the Government of the coun'sy. (Her-, hear.) I say
this, because I am anxious that the agriculturists should,
as a body, stand as well in the social scale as it is pos-
sible for them to do. They stand at the present moment
almost as high as any body of men ern, and no human
being has a right to complain of them, or to throw at
them the charge that they profess what they do not
pracase ; and if some are a little dissatisfied, and sneer
at the agriculturists, while at the same time they expose
their own ignorance, it is owing to the 4". It that the far-
mers have opposed the collection of agricultural statistics.
Let them, then, put their shoulders to the wheel and
remove that stigma, and then they will occupy as high
a position as any industrirl. community in the universe.

NEW BONA.PARILST PROJECT.—The sudden determi-
nation expressed by the French Emperor to remain ali-
ment from Paris until the first week in December has
given rise to much gossiping rumour, which, not having
been contradict:a, is f-.king root in tae public mud.
The reason for the m( rsure, accr li',.:d by the romantic
portion of the community, is that, in consequence of the
still •delicate health of the Empr—s, it would be wise to
avoid the Tuileri' • uutil alter the vapours which arise
fiona the Seine in the month of November shall have been
dispelled by the first frosts. It is, however, certain that
Versailles hal strack the fancy of the Empress, who from
the vet y first has expressed a repugnance to inhabiting the
Tuileries, and whor_e avers:on to the place has increased to a
greater degree thrn ever eir_ce the birch of the Pr:nce Imp:- -
rial. The publicity of the gardensof the palace, the im+
possibility of enjoying privats exercise with the nurse,
and the pride of power cause this cancy for a winter
establishment at Versailk 9. Should the pro ipect be
realised, the whole of the buildings round the palace
would be restored to their former uses. The foreign am-
bassadors would have their alloted hotels, and the diffe-
rent ministires their bureaux--in short, the dead city
would be restored to life r ;ail]. The plan forme part of
the system which has long occupied the miud of the Em-
peror, and is cones cti- d with his scheme of the future
decentralisation of France. Ever since Louis Napoleon's
accession to the throne, he has entertained the idea of
punishing Paris by reducing it to the simple part of a
leader of the fins atts, literature, and science, and de;
pricing it of its political position. The sensation csneed!

- iiiTp;lli; not very popular with a consider-
able portion of the board, who consider that it
is not sufficiently direct, and that more advantage
should be taken of existing thoroughfares. Thus
Stamford-street is a good, wide, and open thorough-
fare, and if the new street were constructed
so as to make Stamford-street available, the road
would be more direct and less expensive. The
committee have, however, thought otherwise, and
their proposition is, that the street should com-
mence at the Town-hall, Southwark, should pro-
ceed with a curve at the back of Queen-street to
the Southwark Bridge-road, from thence to rnn
almost parallel with Charlotte-street, into the
Blackfriars-road to the north of Rowland Hill's
Chapel, then across the Cornwall-road to the
Waterloo-road, near the station, and so on to York-
road. The estimated cost is as follows :—From
High-street, Southwark, to the Southwark-bridge-
road, the purchase of the property, good-will, new
sewers, tic., 294,0001. ; from the Southwark-bridge-
road to the Blackfriars-road, 298,419/. ; from
Blackfriars-road to the Waterloo-road, 210,193/. ;
and from the Waterloo-read to York-road, Lam-
beth, 92,487/. ; making a total of 895,1041. To
meet this outlay, it is estimated that by the resale
of the property, by sale of ground-rents, and of old
materials in that portion of the street between
High-street, Southwark, and the Southwark-
bridge-road, 144,894/. will be realised ; from that
portion
; between Southwark-bridge-road and tht.
Bla,ckfriars-road, 229,5001. ; from that part be.
tween Blackfriars-road and the Waterloo-road,
169,920/. ; and from the piece between Water-
loo-road and the York - road, 87,480/. ; the
Government grant will be 90,000/. ; makng a
total set-off of 721,794/. ; leaving the net cost of
the IleW street at 113,31.04... a very small amount,

There appears to be some grounds for believing that
the culprit Robson will be very shortly in custody. It
would, of course, be premature at present to enter into
any details, but it may be stated that a telegraphic de-
patch was received on Saturday, immediately after
which a detective officer was sent from the metropolis,
and from the information received there appeared every
probability that the fugitive would be in the hands of
justice almost immediately. It is to be regretted that
the amount of the frauds attributed to the culprit has
been ascertained to be very much more serious than was
anticipated, and very far exceeds the amount already
stated ; and it is said, upon good authority, that the
amount of the shares which he has misappropriated will
very nearly reach 80,0001. This is not, of course, the
actual sum that Robson has applied to his own use, many
of the shares sold by him having been disposed of at a
great discount. It may bees well to state the precise nature
of the acts committed by the accused person, which have
never yet been made known, and it will be seen that the
public, or at least that portion of it who may probably be
the sufferers by his defalcations, have in some measure
brought the misfortune upon themselves by not obtain.
ing possession of the shares they purchased. Robson
was what is called the transfer register clerk, and it was
his duty to register all transfers of shares in the books
of the company. It would seem that many of the pur-
chasers of shares, having received a certificate of the
register of the shares into their names, treated this as a
perfect security, and allowed the shares to remain at the
office of the company, so that Robson probably had fre-
quently thousands of shares at his disposal, and this
doubtless offered him an inducement that he could not
resist to appropriate them to his own purposes. In or-
der to show the impudent nature of the frauds committed
by him, it may be stated that it has been ascertained
that in several instances where shares have been fraudu-
lently disposed of, the owners of some of them have al-
lowed them to remain at the office of the company, and
Robson has actually had the audacity to sell them a
second time. The fraud would, in all probability, not
have been discovered for some considerable time but for
the difficulty in making out the warrants for the divi-
dends, that was created by the numerous false returns
in the books, and the complaints that wore made baying
led to inquiry; the result was the flight of the delinquent.
It appears that before Robson left the office he contrived
to destroy nearly the whole of the evidence of his guilt ,
so that there is a question whether, supposing he sohuld
be taken into custody, there will be sufficient legal evi-
dence to support any criminal charge against him.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] SUMP IND HEARING SPECTACLES,
POWERFUL TELESCOPES, OPERA, P AND PERSPECTIVE
GLASSES. —Messrs. S. and B. Selemons, opticians, 39, Albe.
marle-street, Piccadilly. Obse, re—opposite the York Hotel.
By laer Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and
extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and
brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per.
spective Glasses, to know the distances. These telescopes
possess such extraordinary powers that some three and a-half
inches, with an extra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's
moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars. With the same
telescope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a
half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of
larger and all sizes, with increasing powers aceordingly.—Tne
Royal Exhibition, 1851. Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1A miles distant ; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power. Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great-
est transparent power. The valuable advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu-
pation- can see with these lenses of a much less magnify.
iug power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerf assistance.
persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world,
by sending one of the glasses out of their spectacles in 2 I
letter, and stating the distance from the eyes they can read
small newspaper print with it; and those who have
not made USE of spectacles by stating their age. Deaf-
ness. New Discovery. The Organic Vibrator, an ex-
traordinary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for
deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass any-
thing of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be,
produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not per-
ceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church
and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing
noises iu the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the
assistance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-
grouts Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York getel.

Thus, of the accusations in the letter of the thirty-eight,
not a single one can be considered to have really been
met by the illoniteur. With respect to what took place
on beard the Erygone, it is no business of mine to re-
fute the statements in the official organ of the French
government, as I neither knew nor said anything about
it.

The Magdalena, on Friday from the West Indies has
brought 140,0001., of which 54,0001. is silver. There
are no advices on this occasion either from Havannah
Vera Cruz, or Tampico. It is thought that the mail
from Vera Cruz may have been detained for despatches
from the British Minister, between whom and the
Mexican Government, according to reports from New
Yoxii• a serious misuaerstsziding 144 taken place.

As regards the fact of the political prisoners living
side by side with ordinary criminals, the Moniteur
states that there is, in Guiana, a whole class of common
felons, who had nothing to do with politics ; these were
"occasionally located on one and the same island with
the political prisoners, but never beneath one and the
same roof." This assertion may be true, but it is quite
irrelevant and uncalled for. It has never been asserted
that the class of those who are merely common convicts
and the other class are herded together in Guiana ; the
question is whether, in the political class itself, men of
honour do not live side by side with liberated galley
slaves, whom, in the dark confusion of the coup d'etat,
it was thought fit by the military commissioners to con.
demo, on a pretence of plots ur risings, so as to degrade
the rest by their contact ? If we are to believe the Moni-

TAXING WINES.—The Risorgimento of Turin has the
following :—"A tax on wines has been established at
Passero (Roman States) by long custom, and generally
admitted to be fair. The delegate having determined to
increase it and render it more stringent, the municipality
protested against it in one of its last sittings; but its re-
presentations having remained without effect, twelve of
the councillors, belonging t• the most influential families
of the province, and forming the majority of the nauni-
ci pal council, have tendered their resignations."
