Mr. Dowling said, the pennies were of that des,

DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
A dissipated looking fellow, whose name did not transpire
was placed at the bar, charged by police-officer Bishop, wit

manner in St. Vincent-street.

Rica CULTURE IN CHINA.—Rice is cultivated in a soil again and

covered with water, or, in different words, in mud, well pre.
pared by stirring and manure for its reception. In the early
part of the year a fertile spot of ground is chosen, into which
the seed is poured with an unsparing hand. After it has
germinated and the sprouts have obtained a length of about
six inches, it is dug up and parted into tufts for transplant.
ing. These plants arc set in lines, at proper intervals from
each other, by the hands of workmen, who execute their busi-
ness with great despatch and adroitness. The bed into which
these are thrust consist, as we have intimated, of soil well
mixed and covered with water. In the labour of bringing the
ground to this state, the buffalo performs no unimportant
part, as he draws a plough of rude and original mechanism,
in many a tedious bout, from one side of the field to the
other. The plough stirs up and parts the sluggish glebe.
while the feet of the animal assist not a little in its subacting,
and in its incorporation with the water. The wading in mud
from morn to noon, and from noon to dewy eve. is not a
work for which either our horse or our ox is Calculated, as
those know who are familiar with the history and habits of theseinvaluable animals. But the buffalo, the tcater-kineof
the Chinese, is " in his element" while at this work ; and
therefore takes pleasure in what the horse or the beeve would
feel pain and inconvenience. How nicely, then, has God
adapted the disposition of the animal for the nature of the
work for which it is required ! Foreknowledge, acting upon
a system, is seen from the beginning to the end. The streams
of water tumbling down the deep ravines and dells, sweep
large quantities of earth with them, which is deposited at the
bottom of some withdrawing nook, and, through the accu-
mulating force of time, produces a wide-spread alluvium for
the fields of rice. The ground is appropriated by the perse-
verance of man, laid out in, numerous plots by means of
banks and terraces, and then, as the water still continues to
descend, a stone is always at hand for a copious irrigation.
To help him in the work, the buffalo comes to his aid, with a

II was resolved unanimously,
That, from the information conveyed in the documents
now read, this Meeting learns with feelings of the deepe
regret, that the Jews -

charges at once improbable in their nature, and at variance
with the fundamental principles of our Holy Religion.
That, placing a full reliance on the unerring wisdom of
Divine Providence for protection to the innocent, it is-
vertheless, -
the duty of every friend of
world, to sympathise in the afflictions of our orettiren
East; and, in the endeavour to rescue them from the fan
of the oppressor, to obtain indemnity for the past and seen
rity for the future.
That, with these sentiments, this Meeting hails with
heartfelt satisfaction the prompt and en -

(From the Morning Herald of yesterday)
At nine o'clock the supporters of Mr. Galloway bet,
poll briskly ; but at no period of the day did the polling .
him at all appear to be formidable. Mr. Pritchard, the
common councilman, gave, on the part of Mr. Galloway,
written notice, that all votes for Mr. Farncomb were of
avail, as that gentleman was ineligible, not being free of t
city. At two o'clock the polling ceased, when, actor,
to the judgment of severl gentlemen who kept regulr
counts of the votes, the numbers were—
For Mr. Gibbs (C.)
Mr.Farncomb (C.)
Galloway (R.) 697
Mr. Potter, the secondary, then adjourned the hall till
this day, when the poll-books will be examined. The return
will be made on Friday to the Court of Aldermen.
We believe that it is the intention of the friends of Mr
Galloway to make a formal protest against the return of .31:
Farncomb, upon the ground that that candidate was not
freeman of the city when he was put in nomination by tl
Lord Mayor, and to demand that Mr. Galloway should'
returned with Alderman Gibbs. Those who support 11'
Galloway contend, that if the Court of Aldermen refuse
accept of the substitution of Mr. Galloway for Mr. Farncor
they will be compellable by a mandamus from the Cour
Queen's Bench; while the friends of Mr. Farncomb
opinion that should there be any weight in the objr
made to the return of that gentleman, the whole affair
come before the public in the shape of a new election
We have reason to know that if the declaratior
Mr. Galloway on the day of nomination that '
serve with an alderman, had been supposed to be in:..
the majority in favour of Alderman Gibbs and Mr. I
comb would have been upon the second day's polling so ;
that a very decisive retreat would have been accompli,
upon the part of the " liberal" candidate.
It is said that Mr. FarncOmb had his reasons for not
coming a freeman. The fact is that if by any chance
Galloway's and his names had been above the other na,
on the poll, Mr. Farncomb could, if he disliked the asso,
tion, at once get rid of the obligation to serve, without p
ing the fine, by pleading that he was not free.
It is said that the opinions entertained by the law ant
rities of the City are conflicting upon the subject. 'Sc
think that Mr. Farncomb, not being a feeman, become
nonentity in the election, and that Mr. Galloway must
returned with Alderman Gibbs ; while others declare
by all the laws of shrievalty elections if the objection to
return of Mr. Farncomb be considered valid by the Cow
Aldermen, the livery must do their work again.
