LONDON, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1848.

During the last and previous week numerous agricul-
tural meetings have been held throughout the country,
and though there is seldom any occurrence very striking
at these meetings, or speeches of a captivating character
for the generals eader, we cannot help admitting that
they afford the most important news of the day. A com-
plete change has taken place in the tone which used to
pervade the speeches after dinner, scarcely a word is
heard about protection or the sliding-scale, or the heavy
burdens on hand, or the eelfish and treasonable Anti-
Corn-law Leapt.), COBDEN and Co. are spoken
of with great respect, the farm labourers ex-
cite considerable interest, plans are proposed
for their comfort
as well as their improve-
ment ; and, above all, the landlords and their te-
nants begin to see, and to admit the fact, that they must
look for success, not to the Legislature, or to any parti-
cular Ministry, but to their own exertions, industry, and
skill. We are inclined to think that this is the greatest
triumph of the League. The wall of separation between
the parties has been broken down, and the arguments on
both sides are listened to not only patiently, but with
respectful attention. At the meeting of the Dorchester
Agricultural Society, Mr. G. BANKES ram a
speech, very unlike his usual speeches. He ad-
vocated the claims of the poor half-starved la-
bourers, and the hard-working operatives in facto,
es, he alluded to the manufacturers in the House of
Corntuo,:s ; he had a great reunt for some of those
manufacturers, grid he should be " very glad to See them
dancing the polka with the wives of their labourers. Ha
spoke without wishing 10 ItirOW aspersion or ridicule
upon those individuals ; he said so seriously s for there
was nothing he wished for more than to En a good feel,
ing between the employer and the employed, as much
amongst the agriculturists as amongst the tcli.opfactu-
rers ; and it gave him sincere pleasure to find
that such a feeling was m reality springing up,
At several other meetings similar language was used,
and we may, therefore, say that the agriculturists bore
not only received a great moral lesson, but that they
have learned it with good effect. The battle henceforth
in the Legislature must partake of the came character,
and. we confidently anticipate that within a very brief
period the mist of ignorance and prejudice, as well as
the groundless fear of lowering the duty on corn, will be
dispelled, and reason and common sense form the guides
of those who have to make laws not for the benefit of
one class but the whole community. At Liverpool Lord
STANLEY showed that his mind, too, had undergone 'a

for the mineral and manufactaring districts of South Staffordshire,

not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no farther comment.
Negotiations have bean entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.
Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP ECLAIR,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIDIES.
Sir,—Having had some experience as a surgeon of an
East Indiaman, I am anxious to do all in my power by
suggesting a plan for relieving the sufferings, both of
mind and body, of the poor distressed survivors on
board her Majesty's sloop Eclair. I have had the mis-
fortune of having bad medical charge of a ship's corn-
pang when cholera has swept off many of her crew, and
can bear witness to the melancholy effect it had upon
all on board. The remedy I would propose for putting
a stop to this dreadful scourge, now making such deadly
havock, is the following:—
A vessel should be moored, with a competent medical
officer, a short distance from the infected sloop.; she
should be supplied with every comfort that she could
have; her boats, containing new clothing, should be an-
chored midway between her and the Eclair ; the
crew of the latter should be made to leave their ship
and to row to the other boats, and there change their
clothing, sinkingall that had been previously used, and
then take charge of the clean vessel, and start at once on
a cruise in a high latitude. The 'Eclair should be
destroyed, either by being scuttled or blown to pieces.
The expense would be but small, and, even were it other-
wise, surely that would be of little consequence in com-
parison with the sacrifice of human life. LANCET.

In the last week a man, who represented himself
to be a jeweller from Paris, and had successively lodged at several
hotels in Havre, suddenly and secretly left the town, not only
without paying his bills, but carrying with him several pieces of
plate belonging to the Cafe de Rouen and the Hotel de l'Aigle
d'Or. The master of the last-named house, having learned that
his name was Herfun, and that he had taken the road to Yvetot,
followed him there. The rogue had left the place,.but through
the activity of the gendarmerie he was arrested at Mont Riboudet,
just as he was about to seek shelter in the labyrinths of Rouen.
DESECRATION OF SABBATH RELICS.—We under
stand that not only are the Southwark Sunday tolls abolished, but
the toll-houses at Bermondsey Church (which is built within the
church-yard, therefore on consecrated ground), and by the Ca-
tholic Chapel, at Dock-head, are absolutely to be sold by
auction on Friday next, in order to their being pulled down and
removed for ever. What makes the case more serious is, that
they were the only remaining Sunday toll-houses in EngJand !
'We regret having to record the death of David
M'lver, Esq., of Liverpool, so well known in connexion with the
British and North American Royal Mail Steam Ship Company.
This gentleman, most highly esteemed for his private worth as
well as public services, etpired on Monday iastt at Gateacre,' near

Daniel Smart, Esq., solicitor, Emsworth
Edwin Albery, Esq., solicitor, Midhurst

SECRETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers.
In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are
influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports-
mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in
affording a direct communication between the two great military and
naval arsenals of Great B stain—Portsmouth and Chatham.
The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at
Chichester and Portsmouth. will extend the facilities of communica•
tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England,
connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton
towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail-
way the advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the
one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the
latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom house, and the
several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position
for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions.
The line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will
commence at or near the Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London
bridge.
In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Cupel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Crawley, Alfold,
Billinghurit, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last •mentioned
place this projected li e will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
By this course the entire distance to travel between London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected between
London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuina
a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented
to public Llotice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of
railway tb complete the course between the Redhill station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.

NORTHLEACIL—At Windrush a boy named John
Palmer, aged nine years, the son of a labourer, was found
drowned in the river at the above place. The circumstances
connected with this case are singular, and develop an instance
of juvenile depravity. It appears that on the Wednesday
preceding the father had occasion to punish the boy for some
delinquency by giving him a slight box on the ear, which
extorted from him a threat that neither he nor his mother
sheuld have an opportunity of beating him again ; from that
time until the following Saturday he was not heard of; the
probability is that he started immediately to the river and
perpetrated the deed. A prompt and diligent search was
instituted, and the body was: found on the 20th qt' September.

so many thousands of visitors annually resort in pur-
suit of health and pleasure, constitute a summary of
advantages :which cannot fail to recommend this project to •
public favour and support. It is calculated that the traffic in
minerals alone will yield a lucrative return to the Shareholders;
while the extraordinary increase of ►ravelling which every ad-
ditional facility creates, and the surprising influx of trade which
every new railway brings to the district through which it passes,
adding largely to the profits of the undertaking, render it pro.
bable that the advantages which will actually be realised by this ,
project will exceed the most sanguine expectations of its pro-
moters.

The shareholders of the South Midland Railway Company are in-
formed that arrangements have been made by the Committee of
Management with the Board of Directors of the Midland Railway
Company for carrying out the original South Midland line with the
important additions of a line to Bedford and a branch to Huntingdon,
the whole being consolidated in one undertaking, and placed under
the management of a joint Board of Direction composed of members
of the Boards of the two Companies.
The objects, therefore, embraced by the present undertaking are
1. A direct line from Leicester by way of Market llarborough to
Northampton, being he original South Midland
2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Harborough, and passing
by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and
3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Kettering, to
Huntingdon.
The capital at present belonging to the South Midland Company
will form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being
contributed by the Midland Railway Company), and in order to com-
ply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, as recently
altered, it is necessary that the deposit of 11. 2s. already paid on the
i South Midland shares should be increased to 21. 2s. It is also neecs-
