NORTH SUFFOLK AND SOUTH NORFOLK.

The annual meeting of this Society was held on Tues-
day at Eye. The show of stock was limited in extent,
and according to the opinion of the judges " just pass-
able." After dinner the principal theme of the discus-
sion was that of the cottage allotments.
The President, Sir E. KERRISON, observed that he
had adopted the system more than 15 years. He had
now nearly 200 cottage allotments and gardens, and
wherever he saw instances of merit on the part of the
occupiers, and whenever he felt that reward was due to
good conduct, he was always ready and happy, if possi-
ble, to afford the greatest accommodation. But he ad-
hered to the principle upon which he started, not to give
the tenants too much land. If they had more land given
to them than they could cultivate in their surplus time,
it would be impossible for them to prove themselves good I
labourers and to do justiee to their masters.—(Cheers.)
The maximum quantity he allotted was 40 rods of good
land to each cottage, which was as much as a man could
undertake to cultivate by his surplus labour. He had
several instances of men coming forward and offering 2L,
3L, and even 4/. for an acre of land.—(Hear, hear.) He
should, however, be sorry indeed to listen to any appli-
cation of that sort, or to give to any man that which
would in his opinion prove positively ruinous to him in
the end. His plan of letting cottage gardens was this—
the exact price the farmer paid for his land, and no
more. He had adhered to the principle which he him-
self originally laid down, and he was of opinion it had
worked admirably well.—(Loud cheers.)
Lord HENNIKER bore similar testimony to the advan-
tage of allotments, and the groundlessness of objections
against them. Another mode of alleviating the dis-
tresses of the people which had been suggested was
through the medium of emigration.

" We regard the WOikfieiCireust Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of corn.
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
" The' Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
these who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fair to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

CROCKFORD'S CLUB.

For several years deep play went on at all these clubs
—fluctuating both as to locality and amount—till by de-
grees it began to flag. It was at a low ebb when Mr.
Crockford came to London, and laid the foundation of
the most colossal fortune that was ever made by play.
lle began by taking Watier's old club-house, in part-
nership with a man named Taylor. They set up a
hazard-bank, and won a great deal of money, but quar-
relled and separated at the end of the first year. Taylor
continued where he was, had a bad year, and broke.
Crockford removed to St. James's-street, had a good
year, and immediately set about building the magnificent
club-house which bears his name. It rose like a crea-
tion of Aladdin's lamp ; and the genii themselves could
hardly have surpassed the beauty of the internal decora-
tions, or furnished a, more accomplished maitre d'hote
than Ude. To make the company as select as possible,
the establishment was regularly organised as a club,
and the election of members vested in a committee.
" Crockford's " became the rage, and the votaries of fa-
shion, whether they liked play or not, hastened to enrol
themselves. The Duke of Wellington was an original
member, though (unlike Blucher, who repeatedly lost
everything he had at play) the_ Great Captain was never.
known to play deep at any game but war or politics
Card-tables were regularly placed, and whist was played
occasionally • but the aim, end, and final cause of the
whole was the hazard-bank, at which the proprietor took
his nightly stand, prepared for all comers. There was a
recognised limit, at which (after losing a certain sum)
he might declare the bank broke for the night ; but he
knew his business too well to stop.

The speculation, it is hardly necessary to add, was
eminently successful. During several years, every-
thing that anybody had to lose and cared to risk was
swallowed up. Le Wellington des Joueurs lost 23,000/.
at a sitting, beginning at twelve at night, and ending at
seven the following evening. He and three other noble-
men could not have lost less, sooner or later, than a
hundred thousand pounds a piece. Others lost in pro-
portion (or out of proportion) to their means ; but we
leave it to less occupied moralists, and better calculators,
to say how many ruined families went to make Mr.
Crockford a millionare—for a 'millionaire he was and is,
in the English sense of the term, after making the largest
possible allowance for bad debts. A vast sum, perhaps
half a million, is due to him ; but as ho won all his
debtors were able to raise, and easy credit was the most
fatal of his lures, we cannot make up our minds to con-
dole with him on that amount, frightful though it be.
He retired, three or four years ago, much as an Indian
chief retires from a hunting country when there is not
game enough left for his tribe, and the club is said to be
now tottering to its fall. —Edinburgh Review.

Lin WEATHER IN SIIROPSLIIRE.—At length we
have some hope that the corn and hay crops, especially the
latter, may turn out not to be one-half so bad as the long
dry season led people to suppose. On Thursday we had a
steady rain during the day and night, and yesterday there
were some refreshing showers. The holders of large stocks
of hay will find themselves disappointed in obtaining the
monstrous prices anticipated, and the corn harvest will be of
average quality and quantity, with the exception of straw
being short.—Shropshire Conservative..

SWIMMING MATCH.—A grand swimming match,
for the champion gold medal, was appointed to take place at
the National Baths, High Holborn, on Tuesday. Several su-
perb heats did, in fact, take place, and more beautiful swim-
ming, and a more animated scene than the baths presented
throughout, it would be difficult to conceive. Unfortunately,
in the course of the grand and decisive heat, there occurred,
on the part of one of the most expert of the swimmers, what
was considered by many to be " fouling," and a divided opi-
nion amongst the spectators, as-to which of the competitors
ought to be proclaimed the real victor, was the result. It
was finally decided that the proceedings of the evening should
be considered as void, and that the race should be renewed at
a future and an early period. It is, therefore, unnecessary to
give any particulars, or to say more than great interest
seemed to be excited, that the baths were crowded, and that
the greatest order and regularity prevailed.
ESCAPE OF A LUNATlC.—Yesterday information
was conveyedto the metropolitan police of the escape of a
lunatic patient from the Asylum of High Beach, Essex, of
whom some curious particulars are given. His name is
Francis John Smith, twenty-eight years of age, and he is
very respectably connected. He is about five feet six inches
in height, of a slender form, stoops a little, dark hair and
eyes, and of a pale and sallow complexion. He contrived to
elude the vigilance of his keeper on Saturday morning, at
which time he was attired in a dress black coat, vest of the
same colour, and brown or grey trousers, and blue cloak. His
hat was an old one, brown and broken. The lunatic is la-
bouring under a poetical delusion. He fancies himself a great
poet, andsup to the time he left Dr. Allen's asylum he was
engaged in the composition of a monody on the death of the
poet Campbell. He also talks of being destined to deliver
the Polish nation from " Russian tyranny."

CROCKFORD'S CLUB.

For several years deep play went on at all these clubs
—fluctuating both as to locality and amount—till by de-
grees it began to flag. It was at a low ebb when Mr.
Crockford came to London, and laid the foundation of
the most colossal fortune that was ever made by play.
He began by taking Watier's old club-house, iu part.
nership with a man named Taylor. They set up a
hazard-bank, and won a great deal of money, but quar-
relled and separated at the end of the first year. Taylor
continued where he was, had a bad year, and broke..
Crockford removed to St. James's-street, had a good
year, and immediately set about building the magnificent
club-house which bears his name. It rose like a crea-
tion of Aladdin's lamp ; and the genii themselves could
hardly have surpassed the beauty of the internal decora-
tions, or furnished a more- accomplished maitre d'hote
than Ude. To make the company as select as possible,
the establishment was regularly organised as a club,
and the election of members vested in a committee.
" Crockford's " became the rage, and the votaries of fa-
shion, whether they liked play or not, hastened to enrol
themselves. The Duke of Wellington was an original
member, though (unlike Blucher, who repeatedly lost
everything he had at play) the Great Captain was never.
