LORD STANLEY AND THE PROTEC
TIONISTS.

The tone of Lord Stanley's late speech at Bury
having inspired his supporters with some apprehen-
sion that another " treason " was in contemplation,
Mr. G. F. Young addressed a letter to his Lordship,
to which the following is the reply :
" Knowsley, Oct. 11.
"My dear Sir,—l have this moment received
your letter of yesterday, and hasten to reply to it.
I hare observed, as indeed I expected, that my speech
at the agricultural dinner at Bury has furnished
matter for various comments on the part of the press,
though I have not happened to Fee the articles to
which you refer in the Morning Chronicle. Had
I done so, however, I should equally have abstained,
as I always do, from any public notice of any com-
ments which may be made by the press on the lan-
guage I had used. I own, however, that whatever
observations might be made on what I said at Bury,
the last inference which I should have expected to
see drawn was that I had changed my opinions on

_ .
the subject of protection. In fact, I thought it
right in opening a new society at this
moment to depart from the ordinary course, and
distinctly referring to recent legislative mea-
sures, to state the reasons why, retaining my
opinions on the injurious and ruinous character of
those measures to the agricultural interest generally,
I yet thought that there was room for profitable in-
vestment of capital in the particular district in which
I was speaking. Those reasons I stated to be, first,
that it was not a corn• growing district, and little
affected by the price of corn ; next, that not being
even exclusively an agricultural district, it had the
advantages of an inexhaustible market for its produce,
and an unlimited supply of manure at its very doors;
and, lastly, that a great portion of it being wholly
undrained, and consequently full of water, the simple
operation of draining, even if it cost 121. the Cheshire
acre (nearly double the statute), would increase the
productiveness of the land to an extent which would
amply repay the outlay. The fact is, that the country
round Bury is either in grass or under green crops
for the supply of the great manufacturing towns, and
a portion of it, lying high, is better fitted for rearing
young stock in the summer than for any other pur-
pose ; but a very small portion of it is suited for any
description of corn, and a still smaller fur wheat.
It is therefore, as far as the corn-laws are concerned,
an entirely exceptional case ; and I took care so to
treat it, repeating emphatically my conviction, that in
the purely agricultural districts, and most of all in
those where the highest farming prevailed, the recent
changes had inflicted, and must inflict, most serious
injury on landlord, tenant, and labourer. I certainly
said that if good farming would not pay bad could
not ; but I even went so far as to dilate on the dis-

tinction between good and high farming, the latter of
s hich I contended could not be carried on at such
prices as now rule, and, as I think, must rule under
free trade. You do me justice in supposing that, had
I altered my views, I should have taken a very dif-
ferent opportunity of making the statement, and not
left it to be inferred from any casual expressions ;
but my intention at Bury was wholly different, and I
hoped I had succeeded in justifying my recommenda-
tion to the tenants of that district to do justice to the
land,' while at the same time I adhered most un-
equivocally to all the opinions I have expressed, in
and out of Parliament, as to the effect of our recent
policy on agriculture in general.
" I am, dear Sir, yours sincerely,
" STANLEY.
" G. F. Young, Esq."

DECK PASSENGERS ON BOARD OF IRISH STEAM-
BOATS.—Yesterday an inquest was taken by Mr. Baker, at the
Bull's Head, Little Thames street, West Smithfield, on view
of the body of Patrick Connell, aged 46, a tailor, who died
on board the Prussian Eagle, Irish steamer. It appeared that
the deceased went to Cork about a month ago to see his
friends. Last Thursday he was carried on board the I'rus-
sian Eagle, which left Cork for London that day, and which
had on board several head of cattle between decks, with
about 300 deck passengers, who paid 2s. each. Deceased was
in a declining state when put on board. On Friday night a
storm came on, and the waves of the sea swept over the fore
part of the vessel where deceased was lying. A tarpauling
was put up, but that was taken away by the passengers at
the alter part of the steamer: At day light next morning de-
ceas-d was found dead, no one having attended to him during
the eight. Verdict, " Found dead, and that the death was
accelerated by exposure to the cold and the extremity of the
weather." The Coroner recommended that better accommo-
dation should be afforded to deck passengers.
CONSIGNMENT OF STAGS TO LOUIS NAPOLEON.—
On Wednesday last, Mr. Herring, of the New-road, Re-
gent's-park, animal dealer to her Majesty, received orders
from Prince Louis Napoleon, President of the French Re-
public, for 50 English fallow deer, for the park of St. Cloud.
Mr. Herring accordingly obtained 50 tine annimals from
Mr. Fuller, M.P., of Rose-hill-park, near Hastings, and with
the assistance of Mr. Shaw, of the South-Eastern Railway
Company. conveyed them in vans to the Staplehurt station,
wherelney were placed in deer trucks and conveyed to Folke-
stone for transit to Paris by the railway company's steamer
Prince Ernest, via Boulogne. On their arrival at Folkestone
the trucks were taken from the rails and run on board the
steamer, under the direction of Mr. Shaw, without any in-
jury to the animals. They were then taken to Boulogne,
and thence to Paris, where Mr. Herring arrived on Friday
morning, just as the I'resident was about to proceed to the
grand review of the troops. The deer were much praised
by the President and his Generals, and by orders received
from the former, Mr. Herring took them to St. Cloud,
where they were liberated in the park among a number
purchased by the Prince last year.
THE APPEAL CLAUSE IN THE EXTENDED COUNTY
COURTS ACT.—As actions are now in the course of trial in
county courts to 501., it is probable that the right of appeal
given by the 14th section of the new Act (13th and 14th
Victoria, cap. 61) will be claimed. An appeal is only given
on points of law, or upon the admission or rejection of evi-
dence. The words are, "That if either party in any cause
of the amount to which jurisdiction is given to the county
courts by this Act shall be dissatisfied with the determination
or direction of the said court in point of law, or upon the ad-
mission or rejection of any evidences, such party may appeal
from the same to any of the superior courts of common law
at Westminster, two or more of the puisne judges whereof
shall sit out of term as a court of appeal for that purpose,
provided that such party shall, within ten days after such
determination or direction, give notice of such appeal to the
other party, or his attorney, and also give security, to be
approved by the cleric of the court, for the costs of the ap-
peal, whatever be the event of the appeal, and for the
amount of the judgment if he be defendant and the appeal
be dismissed: provided, nevertheless, that such security, so
far as regards the amount of the judgment, shall not be re-
quired in any case where the judge of the countyc,urt shall
have ordered the party appealing to pay the amount of such
judgment into the hands of the clerk of the county court in
which such action shall have been tried, and the same shall
have been paid accordingly; and the said court of appeal
may either order a new trial on such terms as it thinks fit,
or may order judgment to be entered for either party, as
make such order with respect to
thethe casecosts m 3
of thea. heand

and such orders shall be final." The appeal is to be in the
