PROTECTIONIST MEETING AT DERllY.—Yesterday
a numerous meeting of agriculturists took place in the
Mechanics' Hall, Derby, and amongst the persons pre-
sent were Sir H. Wilmot, Mr. E. S. Chandos Pule, Rev.
Reginald Chandos Pule, Mr. J. Meynell, Mr. J. Har.
rison, Mr. S. C. Hcathcote, Mr. J. W. Freshfield, Mr.
W. E. Mousley, Mr. J. Lord, Mr. Joseph Leicester
Hassan, Rev. J. Dean, Mr. H. C. Oakney, Rev. R.
Crewe, Hon. and Rev. F. Curzon, Mr. C. Child, Mr. G.
F. Young, Mr. W. Mundy, M.P., Rev. R. C. Hope, and
Mr. W. Baker. Mr. E. S. Chandos Pole was in the
chair. The meeting was addressed by several speakers,
after which resolutions condemnatory of free trade were
adopted.
EXHIBITION OF INDUSTRY OF 1851.—The first
meeting of the Royal Commissioners for promoting this
object was held yesterday, at the New Palace, West-
minster; his Royal Highness the Prince Albert presided,
and the attendance was very numerous. We understand
that the main business transacted related to the prelimi-
nary contract which had been entered into between the
Society or Arts and the Messrs. Munday. The Commis •
sioners were of opinion that the contract which had
enabled the proposal to be brought to its present state,
and had guaranteed the carrying into effect the proposed
exhibition was of a strictly reasonable, and indeed of a
very liberal character; but in accordance with what ap-
peared to be the wishes of the public, they decided to
give notice of its termination and to place the whole
undertaking upon the basis of a general subscription,
public feeling baring been so strongly expressed in sup-
port of the exhibition as to render any such contract
now quite unnecessary.

During the past week the Cuunt and Countess
Rossi and a distinguished party have boen staying at his
Grace the Duke of Cleveland's, Raby Castle._

THE POOR•LAW AND EMIGHATION.—Yesterday,
at a vestry in the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields,
held for the purpose of imposing a rate, Mr. Ridgway drew
Ella attention of the vestrymen assembled to the subject of
emigration, which, he contended, would, if encouraged,
go far to relieve the parish from the burden of pauperism
which pressed upon the ratepayers. He pointed out that
an addition to the rate of Id. in the pound would yield
a sum of 1,0501, which, if applied to the removal of in-
digent persons desirous to go to the colonies, would ef-
t...et a great economy. He indicated a variety of large
items in the expenditure of the parish upon which the
formation of an emigration fund would tell, and he con-
cluded by moving that an addition of Id. in the pound be
made to the rate proposed to be levied for the purpose of
promoting emigration. Mr. Cole, who filled the chair,
declined to put the resolution, on the ground that the
vestry was held for a specific purpose, within the scope
of which Mr. Ridgway's motion did not come. It there-
fore fell to the ground. A parish officer pointed out that
unless all the parishes acted consentaneously upon the
subject of emigration, any one parish taking it up
would be inundated by the destitution of other parishes,
and suffer serious injury thereby. There seem: d, how-
ever, to be a feeling prevalent among the vestrymen as-
sembled to a certain extent favourable to the idea which
Mr. Ridgway put forward.

WILD FOWL.—It is remarkable that a greater
number of strange wild fowl, some aquatic and some
land birds, have visited this neighbourhood than has
been known for a great number of years past. The os-
prey, or fishing eagle, is one of these rarities. We like-
wise saw the other day a specimen of the goose genus of
an unusual description; a pair of these birds were no
ticed in the waters about Beeston and Clifton, and were
much sought after for several dsys by the sportsmen in
the vicinity; the one we saw, the last of the unfortunate
pair, was shot at the back of Clifton-hsll. Almost all
the birds to which we have made allusion are under-
stood to be natives of high northern latitudes. Their
presence here, therefore, would imply that the winter
has set in those regions with unusual severity.—Notts

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE

OF FRIDAY.

At the Court at Windsor, the Bth day of January,
1850, present, the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in
Council.—Her Majesty in Council was this day pleased,
upon the representation of the Right Honourable the
Lords , f the Committee of C:Aineit on Erlueation, to ap-
point Ralph Robert Wheeler Lingen, Esq., to be Assist-
ant-Secretary to the said Consmitte?, in the room of Sir
James Pnillips Kay Shuttlew..rth, Barr., resigned.
At the Court at ‘Viiicisor, the 8 h day of January,
1850, present, the Qthen's M.-,st Excellent Majesty in
Council.—Whereas by an Act, passed in the session of
Parliament held in the second and third years of her
Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act for regulating
the Police-courts in the Metropolis," it was
amongst other things enacted that it should
be lawful for her Majesty, with the advice of her Privy
Council, to alter the number of tuagistra.te4 appointed to
any of the said Courts; and whereas the number of police
magistrates heretofore appointed within the metropolian
police district has been twenty-three, and it is deemed
expedient that the number should be reduced to twenty
as vacancies among the said magistrates shall occur;
and whereas there is now a vacancy at one of the said
Courts (that is to say) at the Southwark Pelle° court,
occasioned by the death of one of the two magistrates
appointed thereto, and whereas, in furtherance of the
said object, her Majesty has been advised that
such vacancy should not be filled up ; her
Majesty therefore is pleased, with the advice of her
Privy Council, to order and direct, and it is
hereby ordered and directed, that the said vacancy
at the said Southwark Police-court shall not be supplied;
and the Right Honourable Sir George Grey, Bart., one
of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, is to give
the necessary directions herein.
