YEO VIL AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

THE COLOSSEUM IN THE REGENT'S PARK,
V R. GEORGE. 'ROBINS respectfully makes
known to all capitalists, and especially those who would
speculate without risk, that he is directed to OFFER to
PUBLIC COMPETITION (and peremptorily), the latter
end of February,
THE COLOSSEUM IN THE REGENT'S PARK,
Fortunately this absolute
WONDER OF THE WORLD

(Abridged from the Dorsey County Chronicle.)
The exhibition of prize cattle, and annual dinner of
the Society took place on Friday last, in Yeovil, and
the town was very full of the neighbouring gentry
and yeomanry.
William Pinney, Esq., of Lyme, was the Chairman,
and presided on the occasion with much good humour,
tact, and judgment. He was supported, on his right,
by T. D. Adana', Esq., M.l'., G. Harbin, Esq., T.
Hoskins, Esq., and C. A. Moody, Esq. ; on his left by
F. H. Dickinson, Esq., M.P., E. A. Sanford, Esq.,
W. L. White, Esq., and Sealy Bridge, Esq.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing, after the usual loyal
toasts, " The Members for the County," said that he
differed with his honourable relative and friend on
political subjects, but really there had become such a
wonderful coincidence of opinion, of late, upon ques-
tions of the greatest importance—(Laughter)—that
he hoped the time would come when the Chairman of
a public meeting, in prefacing this toast, would be
able to do so without the danger of exciting diffe-
rences of opinion.—(Hear, hear.) He gave them the
Members of the County, especially Mr. Acland and
Mr. Dickinson .—(Three times three.)
T. D. ACLAND, Esq., M.P., rose, and was loudly
applauded. He thought that this was not a time for
political discussion, but custom had placed upon those
who were honoured with the high and important:dis-
tinction of being their representives, the duty of doing
something more than merely to express their thanks,
when their healths were drank in a public assemblage
of their constituents, although they were not, on such
occasions as the present, to argue in favour of their
opinions, or in support of the party with whom they
had generally acted as public men.—(Hear, hear.)
He was not, then, about to argue in defence of his po-
litical opinions, or in „ support of the present Govern-
ment; but as times had somewhat changed, he would
say that he had come there to meet them with the same
independence as he met them when, at their call, he was
placed in, the position he now filled; and whatever
might occur, he should hereafter maintain the same
independent course, exercising his deliberate judgment
upon all questions which might come under his consi-
deration. He was not there to defend his opinions, or
to argue in favour of the present Government, but this
he would say, that he was ready to defend his conduct
in having given his independent support to the present
Government generally, although the time might come
when he might feel it to be his duty to act otherwise.
He would not allude to all the measures of the late
Government, but would confine himself to those ques-
tions affecting that particular interest, agriculture,
with which the present meeting was connected—
(Hear, hear)—and he would say that he had advisedly
supported the Government on these measures, from
the conviction that, in these times, no class of the
community ought to wish or expect to have such pro-
tection as was injurious to other classes, and to the
general interests of the country ; and it was his opi-
nion that all these questions should be met with great
consideration and with moderation by all parties.—
(Hear.) But he would observe that they must not
rely too much upon the Legislature for what was
called protection against, foreign competition, for the
time was COme when the best security for all interests
was in increased intelligence and perseverance, so that
they might prOtluee the bust articles at the loWest
rate. This might be taken to apply alike to agricul-
ture and to manufactures, for these were not times
when any class could safely rest upon their oars, but
all must endeavour. if they would withstand foreign
competition, to produce the best article at the lowest
price. He hoped that whatever changes had taken
place, or might take place—he did not know of any
further changes in contemplation—they would, look-
ing to the balance of interests, work for the good of
all.—(Hear.) He knew his own ignorance too well
to come there to talk to them of practical agriculture :
he knew but little of agricultural matters; he wished
he knew more ; but they must rest on improvement,
as must other interests, and 'not on legislation. He
was glad to see such meetings as these, the objects of
which were to improve their stock and produce by ex-
citing emulation—from the great breeder and fanner
down to the poor cottager who competed for veeta-
bles, and to whom, although this Society he believed
did not, some of the other Societies did, give rewards.
He was a supporter of such Societies, because he was
convinced that alley tended to the benefit of all con-
cerned in agriculture, and to the good of the country.
F. 11. DICKINSON, Esq., M.P., rose and was cheered
by the company. As to his conduct in Parliament,
he had taken that course which he intended to take
on being sent as one of their representatives. He had
considered it to be his duty to take an independent
course, recollecting that he was not the representa-
tive of local interests only, but the representative of all
England. He felt it to be his duty to support the
Queen's Government on all occasions when he could
consistently do so, but in this he had acted indepen-
dently, exercising his best judgment upon all ques-
tions, and voting accordingly. It might be that many
differed from him, but if such was the case generally,
the remedy was in their own hands, and he should
never feel animosity against any man should he be
called upon to relinquish the position he now proudly
occupied.—(Hear, hear.) It would, however, be
most gratifying to him to have their good opinion,
and he hoped when they saw that the late measures
of the present Government were not attended with
those disastrous consequences which many anticipated,
they would be more agreed, and he should have their
approval.
Mr. SANYO* on rising to return thanks for his
health being drunk, was greeted with loud applause.
It was impossible, after what had taken place that
evening, not to make an observation or two ; but he
would do it with that kind feeling which had been
evinced by his friends.—(Hear.) It was true that
himself and his honourable friends did differ—he might
almost say, had differed—and on subjects of the great-
est importance ; but if they differed, they were equally
independent. God forbid that the representation of
this great county should ever be placed in the hands
of men who would not act with the utmost independ-
ence—(Cheers)—and no one would apply to the name
of Acland or Dickinson anything that was not allied
to independence.—(Hear, hear.) He had no doubt
that his honourable friends, their representatives, had
taken a conscientious course, and had done what they
believed to be best for the country ; nor did he doubt
that, had they before seen cause for entertaining the
opinions they had now expressed, they would have
manfialy avowed those opinions.—(Hear, hear.) ale
was not disappointed at what had taken place, nor
at
what had fallen from his friends ; he expected this
change, but he must say it had come a little sooner
_than he expected.—(Laughter.) He now came
among them as an independent man, having no re-
sponsibility upon him as a public character, and as
such he would say to them, place no reliance on pro-
tection
Whatever.—(Sensation.) Mr. Sanford, with
considerable warmth and energy, exclaimed—" I will
say again, place no dependence on any legislative pro-
tection, but trust more to yourselves; for if you trust
to protection for the future, you will, I am firmly
persuaded, trust to a reed that will bruise you.—
(Increased sensation.) I hope I have not said any-
thing too strongly savouring of politics, but I feel
that I ought to express to you, when I receive so
much kindness, my honest convictions ; and as one
wholly 'dependent upon agriculture for all I possess, I
have only said to you what I would say to my own
tenants were I sitting with them at my own table.—
(Cheers.) If I have said anything I ought not to
have said, lam ready to apologise.—(No, no.) I
admit that I do feel heated with the subject."—(Ap-
plause.) He then proceeded to address the meeting
upon purely agricultural subjects, and strongly re-
commended draining, with long leases. It had been
said that draining was the landlord's work; he did
not altogether agree with that, and would ask if it
would not be much better done by the tenant, who
should have a long lease to counterbalance the outlay.
The CHAIRMAN said there was a gentleman present .
who was to succeed him in the Chair next year, and
he was most happy to resign the office into such able
hands ; he proposed " The health of Mr. Moody."

He absconded on the afternoon of the 26th November, and
was last seen in Lombard-street, about four o'clock on that
day. His height is about 5 feet 11 inches, thin person, fair
complexion, light hair, long thin face, prominent nose, with
redness on the bridge, grey eyes, walks stooping, with head
leaning forward.

has acquired a fame that relieves the individual who is honoured
by the direction of the sale from the necessity to exert his in-
ventive faculties, or to give a lengthened description, so long
antecedently to the sale, of its prominent features. The public
shall be reminded of this important sale by an announcement
more in accordance with its high qualifications in due time; it
may suffice for the present to say of
-THE COLOSSEUM, THAT IT IS THE MOST
CLASSICAL BUILDING THROUGHOUT EUROPE.
(This observation is made advisedly.) And this mighty effort
of labour and science has secured for many years
AN INCOME OF FIVE THOUSAND A YEAR,
without the slightest artificial aid. and it is placed beyond doubt
that. in the hands of a talented and ingenious possessor, this
steady income would in due time be greatly increased. The
tenure may be assimilated to freehold, inasmuch as the ground-
rent is a mere bagatelle, and the lease of the Crown hath 70
years still unexpired. Descriptive particulars of this

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords
the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in
the great success which has attended it, since its commence-
ment in 1834.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share-
holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per
Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par-
ties who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scales
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December
1840, is as follows :
Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sums added to Policy.
£l,OOO 6 Years 10 Months £136 13 4

ELABORATELY CARVED IN ANCIENT OAK;

ANTIQUE 'ARMOIRES,' SECRETAIRES, TABLES,
AND MANY GOTHIC GROUPES AND FIGURES,
the whole of which formerly embellished the well-known
CHATEAU DE WESTAIALLE.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As-
sured have the security of the Company's income of £50,000
per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance
Fund invested in Government and oche r available securities,
of considerably larger amount than the .;stirnated liabilities of
the Company.
The rates of premium aro reduced to the lowest scale coin-
pltible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of
the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division
of Profits. _

One-third of whole term premium may remain unpaid at
5 per cent. compound interest, as a debt upon the policy for
life, or may be paid off at any time without notice.
In Assurances for Advances of Money, as security for debts
or as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay
is desirable, the varied and comprehensive tables of the Argus
Office will be found to be particularly favourable to the As-
sured.

A Board of Directors, with the Medical Officers, attend

As a concluding remark, Mr. Robins is anxious to im-
press upon the Collectors of ancient carved furniture, that
the objects which he has so imperfectly described are not to be
classed among the " modern antiques" which deluge the
market at the present time. They comprise a part of the pa-
trimonial possessions of the highly respectable vendor, and
have remained during centuries in his family.

COLLIS' LADIES' BREA ST OINTMENT.
This Ointment is now confidently recommended to the
prblic as an infallible remedy for all diseases of the Breast,
oc.;asioned by Cold, or the Milk coring in the Breast. It is
a certain cure for Whitlows, Abcess, Scalds, Burns, Bad Legs,
and all cutaneous diseases; and in consequence of the now
great cle.nand for the Ointment, the Proprietor is induced to
lay it bet 'ore the public—not as a cure for ‘4 all the ills that
flesh is ht sir to," but in cases as above mentioned it is with the
greatest c, mfidence recommended to the public.

CORONER'S INQUESTS.
Mr. Payne held an inquest last evening at the City
Bridewell, upon the body of William Smith, aged 18,
one of the inmates. It appeared that the deceased had
been committed far two months from Guildhall on
Monday last, for wilfully breaking a large square of
plate glass in the window of Mr. Doudney, clothier,
Fleet-street, valued at 12/., his plea being that he was
destitute, and wished to be sent to prison. On
Thursday morning he complained of headache and cold
over his body, and was tzdmitted into the Infirmary.
Mr. Crooks, assistant-surgeon, attended him till his
decease on Sunday. He had all the worst symp-
iand his medical attendant had
no i been induced by his previous
privations, exposure to the night air, he
having slept in the streets six nights before admission.

Mr. Payne held another inquest at time Bakers'
Hall, Harp-lane, lower-street, on the body of
Duncan M'Crae, aged 24, a private in the Scotch
Fusiliers, at present quartered in the Tower. John
Matthews, the watchman at the Custom-house, saw
the-deceased at half-past twelve, on Saturday night
last. He was leaning thoughtfully upon one of the
gates leading to the water, and after remaining so for
a few. minutes, he went down the watermen's path-
way to the steps, and the witness saw no more of
him. The Coroner and Jury censured this witness
very severely for his neglect in not warning the
The
witness said it was no part of his duty to prevent
people from going into the river if they .were so in-
clined. Sergeant Baddelly said the deceased was a
native of Ross-shire, Scotland, and enlisted in 1839.
He bore a good character for steadiness and sobriety.
Verdict—" Accidental death."

The Dowager Lady Holland has been suffering from
indisposition, arising from a severe cold, at her Lady-
ship's temporary residence, Lord Rilmaine's mansion,
in South-stteet.
Imusit OFFICERS IN CHINA AND INDIA.—Sir Hugh
whose command of the British force in China
has been one scene of victory and triumph, is son of
the late Lieutenant-Colonel Gough, of the City
Limerick Militia, and commenced his military
career in that regiment in 1793. As Major in
the 87th (or Faugh-a-Banllaghs) he commanded
that gallant corps at the memorable battle of Tala-
vera, where the 87th captured a French eagle, and
he was severely wounded. His gallantry during the
Lynedoch) honoured him with
siege of Cadiz was so conspicuous, that Sir Thomas
brevet Graham
ate of his dispatches, being
the first instance of the kind which occurred
ran(nko‘fvr
in the British army. 011 the 31st of December,
1811, Lieutenant-Colonel Gough repulsed, at Ta-
oLmortdhe, d
Ta-
rifa, with his eight companies, 600 strong, no less
than 1,800 picked troops, who assaulted a breach. A
general order on this occasion spoke of his conduct as
" surpassing all praise, and the Prince Regent
ordered the word " Tarifa" to be thereafter im-
printed on the regiment's colours. He next
commanded at Vittoria, where the 87th lost half
its number. On this occasion he was honoured
with the thankS of the brave Picton, and received a
third medal of distinction. • He commanded at the
battle of Nivelle, and was severely wounded. On
this occasion he was honoured with the cross, and the
officers of his regiment presented him with a valuable
vase. Lieutenant- Colonel Taylor, 9th Regiment, who
has so distinguished himself at Affghanistar, is bro-
ther of J. E. Taylor, Esq., Cranbrook, Fermanagh.

C. A. MOODY, Esq., rose to return thanks amidst
the plaudits of the assemblage. He believed these
Societies were useful, especially in times like these,
when it must be admitted that they had difficulties to
contend with, which imposed upon them all a more'
than usual measure of self-denial.—(Hear.) With-
out desiring to magnify it on the one hand, or to
make light of it on the other, he could not but look
upon the present state of things as an agricultural
crisis.—(Hear.) Such indeed was the state of the
agricultural interest, that he feared, unless an altera-
tion took place, it must terminate in a re-adjustment
of existing engagements, and in a relaxation towards
the tenant, by those holding the land, and who, he
doubted not, would have the good sense to concede it.
—(gear.) He had been unexpectedly called on, and
was not prepared with particular observations, but he
would endeavour to make some use of what had fallen
from those who had preceded him. It had fallen from
one gentleman, who he was happy to see among them,
that they were not, as agriculturists, to look to pro-

tectpn.—(Hear.) If they were not to look to that
protection to which they considered they were
fairly entitled, were they to sit down and do
nothing to enable them to maintain their position,
and to uphold that independence and integrity
which the yeomanry of this county, and he
believed of all England, had so long been distin-
guished for ?—(Cheers.) What, then, were they to
look to? They were to look to that which could not
slip through their hands, to the increased productive-
ness of the soil, which was only to he effected by im-
proved husbandry, by calling in the aid of chemistry,
and by using the most portable, best, and cheapest
manure.—(Hear, hear.) It had been said by one of
the umpires that there had not been so good an exhi-
bition of stock as there ought to have been; but the

in
the produce. They had no premiums for improving
the land, and if they would allow him, he would of-
fer a prize for the person who should, on the largest
scale, experimentalise with the greatest variety of
manure.--(Cheers.) If the Committee could suggest
to him the best form of regulating this, he would
adopt their recommendation. He- was himself going
to try the plan on a field, which he shouldidivide into
four parts, using, for the purpose of testing their dif-
ferent effects, -bone dust, Daniel's guano, and the fold.
—(" Ah, the fold, that's the best," from a farmer,
which raised a laugh and loud cheers.) Mr. Moody
made some further practical' observations, and con-
clude:l a manly and eloquent address amidst reiterated
plaudits.

F. H. DICKINSON, Esq., proposed " Prosperity to
the town of Yeovil."—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member
referred to what had thilen from several gentlemen,
and said, with much. energy, _" But with respect to
gloves or other articles, you must not rely upon
legislative measures for prohibiting the importation
of foreign produce. The course of things at pre-
sent is against protection, and in favour of free trade
and I do not think it can be stopped; but if we cannot
stein the tide, we must endeavour to assist each other
by adopting improvements and all means tending to
our mutual benefits. I, for one, have not such appre-
hension for the future, for we are a great people,
with vast resources, and I do not think we shall suer
from any trifling alteration in the laws. We are a
great people, and not an artificial people, and I do
not think we can much longer continue artificial
means or laws for keeping up any particular interest.
I give you " Prosperity to the town and trade of
Yeovil."-7-(Three times three.)
Mr. Honiara, being, being called on, rose to return
thanks. Ile said he felt particularly obliged for the
kind mariner in which they had expressed their desire
for the prosperity of that town and its trade. Per-
haps the best return he could make was by informing
them that the great branch of their trade, the gloving,
although not in a roaring state, was now much better
than it was twelve months since.—(Cheers.) And he
hoped, with the protection they now had, they would
he enabled to compete with the foreigner.—(Hear.)
It had been said that they must use exertion and adopt
improvements in order to maintain their ground. Ile
could state that the greatest exertions were making
in that town and elsewhere with this view, so that he
hoped work would be found for the large population
of that neighbourhood.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said the next toast on his list was
" Health and long life to Mr. Parqnharson and the
fox-hounds."

Captain HAnmN was loudly called on, and returned
thanks with the spirit of a true sportsman. He some-
what differed from his friend, Mr. Sanford, on the sub-
ject of draining, which he considered absolutely neces-
sary; it was most essential, and the great improvement
to be looked to, but he did consider draining to be the
landlord's work.—(Cheers.) He considered it be-
longed to the landlord, because it was a permanent
improvement of the property of the country.—(Hear,
hear.) He did not think, in these times, that the
farmer could, with fairness to himself and family, lay
out the amount required for draining. They :rust
all give and take.—(" Ah, that's all we want," from
a farmer, which occasioned a laugh.) Let the land-
lords, then, look the matter in the face at once ; let
them not delay, but advance their capital and drain
their lands.—(" Suppose they have not got the capi-
tal," from Mr. Acland.) In cases where there were
trustees, and not capital sufficient, a provision had
been made, by law, to effect the draining of their
lands. Let the landlords, he still said, drain their
lands, and then, as to long leases, he did not think
there would be any necessity for leases at all ; for with
a good understanding he hoped they might all live
and prosper, notwithstanding the gloom that now
hung over them.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ACLAND said that he was neither a landlord
nor a tenant, yet his father was, and had a great
many tenants ; but he had two secrets, one was, to
get good tenants, and the other, when he had them, to
take care to keep them.—(Loud cheers.) With re-
spect to draining, it might often happen that the land-
lord was not possessed of surplus capital; those who
had ben much engaged in contested county elec-
tions, for instance, could not be expected to have much
capital. They must all endeavour to do the best
they could, but let them not begin by turning off
their labourers.—(Cheers.) He would give them an
old toast, but a good one, "Live and let live."
Shortly afterwards the Chairman left the room
amidst loud cheers, and the party broke up.

MEMOIRS OF THE

QUEENS OF FRANCE,
By Mrs. FORBES BUSH.
‘• This charming work comprises a separate Memoir of every
Queen of France from the earliest of her annals to the fall of
Napoleon. A very slight knowledge of French history in the
reader will assure him that the memoirs of the French Queens
present features of extraordinary interest. We have only to
mention the names of Mary of Anjeu, Anne of Brittany, Mary
of England, Mary Stuart, Mary Leckzinski, and Marie Antoi-
nette, to bring up a host of the most pleasing historical associa-
tions, while others, such as Margaret de Valois, Mary de Me-
dicis, Anne of Austria, and Catherine de Medicis afford no less
striking pictures of the times in which they flourished. With
the Memoirs of the Queens of France the author has introduced
notices of the royal favourites, who were not unfrequently of
much greater influence in the State than the Contemporary
Queen's Consort—an allusion to Diana of Poitiers, Agnes So-
relle, Gabrielle d'Estrees, the Marchionesses de Al on tespan and de
Pompadour, the Duchess de la Valliere, and Madame de Main-
tenon, makes this immediately manifest. Mrs. Bush's work
cannot fail of being a desirable acquisition to every library in
the kingdom. "—Sun.

masses in both countries, which makes them
there, as here, remonstrate against fiscal regula-
tions to promote the prosperity of one class at
the expense of other classes. At the same time
they draw a tolerably correct picture of the un-
happy condition of Great Britain, and refer to one
class being kept subordinate to other classes by
a large standing army ; they show that ours is
the model Government which the advocates of
the restrictive system follow in the United
States; and that our legislative example is the

great evil against which they have to guard their

country. It is humiliating to have England de-
scribed as infecting other communities with a
gre:tp olitical disease, and it is encouraging to
know that we shall there find numerous friends
who will help us to cure ourselves.
A slight attempt has been made to throw ridi-
cule on what the democrats say on "an assumed
hostility" between capital and labour ; but no
sneers ought or can now conceal the fact that
such an hostility actually exists, and is loudly
proclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic. It is
unwise to deny this hostility, and better were it
to acknowledge it, to seek out its origin, and, if it
cannot be subdued, at least to be very careful not
to aggravate it by unthinking legislation.
Considering capital as hoarded labour, as skil-

ful and ingenious machines made by labour, and

used by labour, it is undoubtedly erroneous to
suppose that there ever can be any hostility be-
tween industry and its best products. In that
sense capital is only labour's helpmate. It
subsists labour, while toiling to produce more,
and lightens its exertions. But that is not the
sense in which the word capital is used both in
England and the United States. Here and there,
when used by labourers, it means capitalists—the
owners of capital, not capital itself; it means the
power of one man, or one peculiar class over
another, and in that sense the New York working
men are not wrong in affirming that the history
of the world is but the history of a struggle for
capital or power. In the early stages of society
the struggle was carried on by the sword in order

to get possession of the soil, and reduce some
classes to a state of slavery. In every part of
the world some one class or tribe succeeded, and
some other class or tribe was enslaved. The
former acquired a monopoly of the soil, and the
latter became dependent on them. They were
only allowed to have as much of the bread they
produced as barely sufficed for their existence.
Out of that condition of the labouring classes
has sprung their present condition; and
as capitalists now, in the great majority
of cases, set labourers to work, and are

the middle men between them and the mo-
nopolists of the soil, and between them and
the Government, they receive a large share of the
traditional hostility which the enslaved class
has always felt for the enslavers.

That is the theory of the proclaimed hostility
between capitalists and labourers in both hemis-
pheres and now that the latter class are every-
where becoming aware of all the peculiarities in
their condition, and of the causes of those pecu-
liarities, it seems to us neither safe nor wise to
treat this hostility as a light or assumed matter,
and to run the risk of increasing it by laws con-
ferring additional or exclusive privileges on
any class of capitalists. That hostility pervades
society ; it is at present an element of its exist-

ence, and foreseeing lawgivers will take it se-
riously into their consideration, and provide, if
they can, for its gradual extinction, so that mas-
ters and workmen, who are indispensable to one
another, may work and live together in peace
and brotherhood.

It is a fact little thought of probably, even by
those whose whose conduct the principle which
it indicates ought to govern, that at this moment,
and every day of the year, persons are employed
in China, in the West Indies, in the United
States, in Poland, in France, and in other places,
preparing the materials for the daily meals of the
people of England. Our breakfast is partly pro-
vided by the Chinese and the West Indians.
America contributes flour, cheese, and meat to
the sustenance of the people. Poland, too, helps
to supply them with bread. No dinner of the
opulent classes is complete without French wines.
For us to have those commodities, men of whose
existence we know nothing whatever must now
be labouring, and must labour daily.
Who cultivates and gathers our tea ? who
brings it to Canton? Nobody in England knows.
We know that there is a great extent of land
called China; we know something of its :govern-
ment, and of the appearance of its people but of
the actual cultivators of the tea-plant, we have
never, perhaps, seen one, and we know very little
more of them than we know of the inhabitants
of the moon. Yet on the labours of several ge-
nerations of these unknown men have many of
the English been dependent for comfort, for
exhilaration, and for food. What do we know
either of the actual cultivators of the vineyards of
France, or of the fields of Poland, or of the
United States? Absolutely nothing. Of course
knowing nothing of them, and they living far
beyond the reach of our laws, our Government
has not the smallest direct influence or control
over their exertions ; but, were they discontinued,
great indeed would be the destruction of coin-
fort, of subsistence, and of life in England?
It is another, and a reciprocal fact, that at the
same time the spinners of Manchester and
Leeds, the weavers of Paisley and Glasgow, the
grinders of Sheffield, and the iron-founders
of Wales, of whose existence the inhabitants of
China, of the West Indies, of the United States,
of France, and of Poland, are as ignorant as we
are of the existence of the men whose labours
supply our wants, are labouring daily and suc-
cessfully to supply the ~rants of those distant and
unknown people. Over the labours of our
people, the respective Governments of China, of
the United States, of France, or of Russia, have
not the smallest direct influence, and, at the
same time, the subsistence of no inconsiderable
number of their subjects depends on the market
for their produce which is found in the produc-
tions of the skilful labourers of the manufactur-
ing towns of England.
Such facts, though familiar to all the inqui-
rers into the subject of national wealth, ought to
be continually impressed on the minds of our
Members of Parliament. It requires no second
observation to prove that the reciprocal industries
we have alluded to, and all the immense mass
of employment in trade of which they are the
foundation, are of almost infinite importance
compared to the results of all the labours of
statesmen. For several generations a large part
of the subsistence of every trading society has
been dependent on the labours of men over
whom the rulers of each society have not had
the smallest direct control. Without the inter-
ference of the statesmen of England, the quantity
of tea required from China has always been ob-
tained, and the regularity of the supply, increas-
ing with our demand, has far surpassed the re-
gularity with which the supply of equity has
kept pace with the demand. A Member of
Parliament will on no account trust the subsis-
tence of the people to the natural and certain
operations of trade; but here is a case in which
he is obliged to trust, and has trusted for ages,
the subsistence of all those who have been en-
gaged in the China trade, who have subsisted by
selling tea, or by manufacturing the articles with
which it has been bought, to the labours of un-
known men in a distant part of the globe.
It is very likely that our intruding statesmen
never knew, or never reflected, on the class of
facts we have adverted to. Had we never done
so it would have been no reproach to us. It is
no part exactly of our duty. It is no part of
the duty of any man in the street. Our duty
and the duty of our neighbours, is nearly con-
fined to taking care of ourselves and families.
If we provide for their subsistence and careful
bringing up, we do all that can be, with strict
justice, required of us. But those who under-
take to provide for the public happiness, and
marshal States into order, are bound to know all
the phenomena of social production, for by them
their own conduct ought to be guided. It is not
now contended, or supposed, whatever might
have been the case when FENELow wrote his
Telemuque," that statesmen make society. The

TRADE IN NEW ZEALAND.---The whale-trade stands
prominent in point of importance compared with all
the other sources of wealth and naval power which
have opened in New Zealand. Hitherto, it must be
acknowledged the mother-country has not availed
herself to the full extent, of the advantages which
the new colonies have presented, especially in regard to
the enlargement of the mercantile navy, viewed as a
nursery for seamen. Several years ago, the Ameri-
cans could boast of having in the South Sea fishery
about two hundred and fifty ships, each from three to
five hundred tons burden. The officers and crew of
every vessel amounted, on the average, to twenty-
five individuals, five of whom may be considered as

fit 4'50 per cent., even after paying the duty chargeable
on it as a foreign commodity. This fact, if it does
not prove a great relaxation of enterprise on our side,
leaves no doubt as to the increasing activity and suc-
cess of the shipping interest in the United States, the

INcENDraarsm.—The fearful spirit of incendiarism
has made its appearance in the neighbourhood of Col-
chester, and during the past week much alarm has
been occasioned amongst the inhabitants by repeated
rumours of fires in the adjacent villages. On Friday
night, we regret to state, a cry, too well founded,
was heard about seven o'clock, of a fire at West
Bergholt. The engines and firemen were dispatched
with the utmost promptitude, when it was ascertained
that a detached barn was in flames, which with its
contents consisting of clover seed, the produce of
eight acres, rapidly fell a prey to the devouring ele-
ment. The whole was the property of Mr. R. Brad-
brook, whose stock has been three times fired since
the harvest. The scene of the present burning was
but a very short distance from Mr. Thomas Daniell's,
the destruction of whose property we recorded last
week. Mr. Bradbrook was not insured.—lpswich

I kind as you find them; that you cannot alter
,human nature by written Constitutions; that
men must be dealt with as they are, and Consti-
tutions adapted to them, not framed on some
ab-
stract principles of presumed perfection. If that
be true, and no man will deny it, statesmen are
bound to know the whole phenomena of man's
social existence, including the important facts
that men who live in different countries labou
for each other without any knowledge of the
existence of each other, and that the subsistence
of both—including millions of familin in diffe-
rent countries—depends on their mutual and reci-
procal labour. On such phenomena their laws
ought to be framed ; for by interrupting and de-
ranging labour in one country, they necessarily
interrupt and derange it in many other countries.
We can readily excuse Lord STANLEY for
being ignorant of the quantity of corn grown in
Tamboff; it is not much reproach to Sir 11.
PEEL that he was not precisely informed of the

number of oxen in Spain or Holland which
might be exported to England; but we cannot
excuse any statesman for being ignorant of any
of the facts on which the subsistence of the
masses depends. To provide food is, in fact, the
first and great aim of all human exertions; and
all the results of statesmanship, all laws and
constitutions, all victories and triumphs, which
do not end in securing a plentiful subsistence for
mankind, are less valuable than leather and pm-
nella. We have brought under notice an ex-
ample of an immense class of facts, of which
the pervading principle is, that the subsistence
of society is obtained without the possibility of
any one statesman contributing to that noble
end. When so much that is beneficial is done
without the instrumentality of law-makers, they
might, we think, have a little more confidence
in man and in nature, and not presume that
every part of society must necessarily fall into
anarchy which is not regulated by them.

The fallowing circular has just been issued from
the Office of the Church Education Society, and is
addressed to the Secretaries of the different branches
of this Institution. The names of all the Bishops,
except Dublin, Derry, Tuam, and Limerick (the two
latter not being in the country) are subscribed :
" The undersigned Prelates, Presidents of the
Church Education Society, have to announce to you
for the information of the members and friends of
that Institution, that a communication has been re-
ceived by the Lord Primate, from Sir Robert Peel,
stating that her Majesty's Government, having given
to the question of education in Ireland very mature
deliberation, have resolved to recommend to Parlia-
ment the continuance of the Parliamentary grant for
the purpose of education on the general principles on
which that grant has heretofore keen made ; and that
they have further resolved not to propose a separate
vote for the Church Education Society.
" The undersigned have received this communica-
tion with unfeigned regret ; but they regard it as most
in accordance with the respect which is due, and
which they are anxious to show, to her Mjesty's Go-
vernment, to abstain from any further expression of
their feelings on the occasion. And to the mem-
bers of the Society, who must share in these feelings,
they earnestly recommend the same orbearance in
expressing them.

"Under these circumstances the undersigned deem
it to be their duty to call upon the friends of the
Church Education Society to continue to use their
best exertions to raise funds by means of voluntary
contributions, for thg support of the numerous, useful,
and well regulated schools in connexion with the So-
ciety, being persuaded that the maintenance of those
schools is of essential service to the interests of true
religion in Ireland.
"While thus earnestly pressing upon the members
of the Society the importance of exerting themselves
with unabated zeal to support its schools, the under-
signed are anxious to express their trust'—as in the
year 1832 it has been already expressed by them and
by their predecessors in the episcopal office, on the
occasion of the first establishment of the plan of
national education— that in withholding their con-
currence from this system, they will not be suspected
of perverse opposition to the Government in its en-
deavours to promote general instruction, and to heal
the wounds occasioned by party and religious dis-
tinctions.'

" The undersigned are desirous now, as formerly,
to give just credit to the intentions of her Majesty's
Government' in supporting the plan of national edu-
cation, although the resolution adopted on the part of
her Majesty's Ministers will make it needful to per-
severe in a temperate, but not on that account less
effectual, appeal to the friends of the Church Educa-
tion Society to keep up its schools. At a time, there-
fore, when increased efforts to make known the
claims of the Society throughout the country are
rendered more necessary than ever, the undersigned
wish to convey to all who are to be engaged in the
discharge of this duty, their decided judgment that
their advocacy of the Society will be most in har-
mony with its principles and character, and will best
promote its true interests, when it is founded upon the
objects of the Society, and its necessities, with-
out drawing aid from any of the exciting or irritating
topics which the disappointment of the friends of the
Society might suggest.
"With this recommendation the undersigned wil-
lingly leave it to the General Committee and the
several Diocesan Societies to'devise and take such
measures as they may deem best calculated to advance
the interests of the Society, and they cannot but hope
that when the claims and wants of the Society are
thus calmly 'and dispassionately brought forward,
under circumstances which make it entirely depen-
dent upon voluntary subscriptions of the members of
the Church, it will receive a measure of support more
commensurate with the great work that it has to carry
On, than it has hitherto obtained. But with what
ever degree of success it may seem good to Almighty
God that their efforts should be attended, the under-
signed, and those whom they address through you,
will still enjoy the happy assurance that they are
acting according to his will in persevering steadily
in their labours to maintain the honour of His Holy
Word, and to train the children committed to their
care in the principles of the Church to which it is
their privilege to belong.

MR. K----IRK'S GLACCARUM.
The private view of this remarkable project opened
yesterday at Portman-square, having, it appears, been
transferred from the Colosseum.
A full company added to the picturesqueness of the
scene which, on entry, attracted the eye. Consisting.
of three thousand feet of artificial ice, a frozen lake
extends over the surface of the floor, actual in its veri-
similitue with the same thing in nature. If it lack
anything in this respect, it is only the aqueous trans-
parency of the original body, which here, perhaps, as-
sumes the appearance of a dense marl, over which' the
snow-drift seem to have passed.
This smooth expanse receives the shalt admirably.
Fastening on the polished steel, you can run a race with
wing-footed Mercury up and Clown its extent; or, if in-
clined to more courteous movement pursue the evolu-
tions of the dance, or the animated gestures of the gym.
nast. Absolute security also is its undeniable character-
dread of immersion in unknown depths
istic. The separation from peril only by two-inch brittle
crystal—the
—the fear of something Worse than cold-water spe-
cifics, or a more than innocent baptism in the Preiss-
nitzian fashion—have no place in the thoughts of a
Glaciarum skaiter. In truth, all the recommendatory
qualities of the sport attach to his pleasure, devoid of
drawback. Nimbleness of foot, vigour of motion,
gratification from enjoyment, enhance his amuse-
ment, without that sense of danger experienced on
the undulating glass of the Serpentine, or other sheets
of water that crack beneath his path. Free, too, from
weather, no sleet spits in his face, no

the bone, but he glides along
in mirth and recreation, with the thermometer at
spring temperature, while beneath him, spreads for
sport, the winter ice of the Arctic.
Mr. Kirk should stand a fair chance of depopulat-
ing the parks. Chemistry has made him acquainted
no less singular than novel. An
wi with a substanceamalgamation
chiefly
composed of carbonates of soda,
having, subsequently to its liquid state, undergone a
rapid crystallization, has enabled him to lay down a
species of extensive ice-plat, smooth as a metal mirror,
and fitted to please the heart of the subtlest skaiter,
were he of the Baltic seas or Polar.
The ensemble of the gallery or apartment is ren-
dered complete in detail by its cast of ornamental de-
sign. One side of the room is barricaded off by rail-
ings for spectators. Alpine scenery enriches the other
three. From the base or borders of the lake rise
grottoes, decorated like Calypso's. Beyond these, and
forming portion of the landscape, spiry steeple, Swiss
auberge, and low-thatched cottage, vary the architec-
tural groupings of the scene. Further in perspective,
peaks and snow hills mingle with the sky, indistinct
and shadowy; while in the intervening vales and ra-
vines the light blue mists steam up in aerial softness.
Even the ceiling is made to add to the general effect,
faint and pale, as if lit by winter suns.
Imagine the scene transferred to Zurich, or a lake
of the Cantons, and the picture, as beheld yesterday,
is exactly to be realised. A brilliant noon in winter_
figures in animated and skilful movement—good-
humour, ready for a jest, and ripe for a laugh—with-
out rain, drifts, or freezing mercury—et la voila !

GRAND JUNCTION CANAL.
The half-yearly meeting of the Directors and
Shareholders of the Grand Junction Canal Company
was held yesterday at the Crown and Anchor
Tavern, Sir William Eden, Bart., in the Chair. The
Report, which was read by the Secretary, stated that
the nett tonnage for the half-year ending June 30, 1842,
amounted to 51,512/. Os. 6d., being 10,7261. 18s. 3d.
less than in the preceding six months, and 5,415/.
13s. sd. less than in the corresponding period of the
preceding year. This falling off in the Company's
revenue the Report attributed to the depression of
trade which had generally pervaded the country. Al-
though the revenue had been so diminished, yet, in
consequence of the reduction lately effected in the
ordinary expenses of the canal, which had amounted
to nearly 8,0001. in the half-year, the balance of one
account, to the 30th Juno last, amounted to 44,8821
Os. 11d., being 3,8361. 15s. 6d. greater than the
balance of the same account in the corresponding,
period of last year. The Committee, therefore, re-
commended a dividend of 31. les. per share, amount-
ing to 40,0921. 10s., to be paid, free of Income-tax,
on Monday, the 9th of January, 1843, thus leaving
the balance of 4,7891. 10s. 11d., out of which the
Income-tax would be paid to the Government, and
the remainder carried to the account for new works.

TILE PaOPERTY TAx.—The Post-office revenue
promises to be considerably increased by the necessity
of serving proprietors assessed to property, who live at
a distance from their estates, with notice of the time
the appeals are fixed to be held. A letter from Roch-
ford division was lately received by an owner wherein
the tax amounted to 4s. 4d. and the charge for post-
age was 2d.—Essex Herald.
ACCIDENT AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE.--Afew minutes after twelve o'clock, on Saturday night
last,
as a man named George Byng was putting out
the lights in the second tier of boxes at the Haymar-
ket Theatre—the performances having terminated
and the audience retired—he overbalanced himself
and fell head foremost into the pit. The noise caused
by his falling upon the seats brought other persons
who were engaged at different parts of the theatre to
the spot,. where he was discovered lying in a state of
insensibility with a large wound in his forehead. Ima-
gining that he was either dead or dying, a stretcher
was procured, and be was conveyed to Charing-
cross Hospital, where he was attended by Mr. More,
the house-surgeon, who quickly discovered that ani-
mationsuspended, and with the aid of re-
storatives and other means he was in a short time
was only
brought to a sense of consciousness ; and the wound
in his head having been dressed, and his wrist, which
had been sprained,
_having been attended to, to the
surprise of those who conveyed him to the hospital, he
signified his intention of proceeding to his own home,
which he actually did without any assistance, after
having sustained so frightful a fall.
STRATIIFIELDSAYE.—The Duke of Wellington is
enjoying the society of a few select friends, among
whom are Lord and Lady Mahon, who arrived from
Walmer, where they had been staying
since they left
Walmer Castle. The Duke is in excellent health,
and rides thirty miles occasionally to meet the Vine
hounds, with which pack his grace regularly hunts.
