Mr. Johnson Then 1 would ask Mr. Nicholson who was with him at the post mortem examination Witness Mr. Wilson, a professional gentleman, was kind enough to assist me, as my own assistant is laid up there were two policemen, and two gentlemen whom 1 don't know, but with whose names I have no doubt Mr.

Mr. Johnson Who was your friend Mr. Mason Mr. Leake. Mr.

Johnson Will you be kind enough, Mr. Coroner, to take down the question I put and the answer. Coroner Certainly not; I do not think it at all material to the inquiry, and therefore shall not put it down. If you think it will at all serve jou, you can make a note of it. Mr.

Johnson I understood that I could not take I I lington Bhone conspicuous. Cheers. During the last war on the continent, our soldiers and sailors had vied with each other in deeds of prowesB. The victorious field of Waterloo wus not more glorious for the Buccess there attained by our arms than for the blessings of the peace which in consequence of that memorable occasion we had now enjoyed for 31 years. Nor could he it down without reverting to the coast of Syria, where our navy shone so conspicuous, to China, where the combined forces by sea and land had vied with each other in obtaining the great success desired, and to that glorious campaign so lately finished in India.

Cheers. There had British firmness and courage conquered, although against fearful odds, and not only are we indebted to our fellow-countrymen for the result of that glorious campaign, but to the valour and steadiness of the native troops the sepoys under our command. Applause. These brave men' had fought side by side with their European associates, preferring the mild and benignant rule of Britain to the wild misrule of Eastern despotism. Cheers.

Without farther preface he would give ttie health of (he army and navy coupling with them the names of Lord Hotliam and the Hon. Capt. Duncombe. The toast waB drunk with three times three. Lord Hothah, on rising to respond, was loudly cheered.

He said tho worthy 'Chairman having thought fit to couple his name with the toast which had just been proposed, he begged leave to thank them in the warmest possible manner compliment which they had just-been pleased to pay to a-profession to which he had the honour to belong; They-were no doubt aware that the first duty of a soldier was to render implicit obedience to his sovereign, and it was therefore exceedingly gratifying to find that every member of the military profession had only to conduct himself so as to merit and receive the admiration of his sovereign to secure to himself the approbation of his fellow-countrymen. Cheers With these few words leaving it to his hon. friend at the other end of the table to answer for the illustrious profession to which he belonged he begged, in the name of the army, to return thanks for the compliment paid it. Loud cheers. The Hon Capt.

Dunoombe, M.P,. said on behalf of the navy he hoped they would allow him to say that he did not think when called into action the members of the British navy required any stimulus to perform their duty towards their country. Cheers. The approbation of their fellow-countrymen was sufficient for all occasions, and he hoped and trusted that that branch of the service to which he belonged would be found equally reudy with the army to do their utmost for the peace and happiness, and prosperity of the nation Cheers, Jambb Boyes, the secretary of tho association, was then called upon to read the awards of the premiums to the labourers. This having been dene, the successful candidates were brought into tho room, and addressed by Tho Chairman, who said it was his pleasing duty to address them as the successful candidates, who, through good conduct and long service, had been found deserving of the prizes awarded by the association.

He hoped the scone they now witnessed would long be impressed on their minds, and would induce them to endeavour to bring up their children in the way which their fathers had gone. It was one of the most pleasing privileges of the society to give these premiums, and he trusted it would be a stimulus to those whom he now addressed, to continue to pursue the coarse in which they had hitherto gone, and that it would be an inducement to their children to follow in their footsteps. rCheers. Each of the labourers then received a glass of wine, and went into another room, where the premiums which had been awarded to them were paid to them. Mr.

Bosiss, the secretary, then read the list of prizes awarded to horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, Wm. Hutton, of Gate Burton, Lincolnshire, said he had had the honour to be desired to propose Success to the East Riding Agricultural Association." tCheers. He most sincerely wished that the honour had fallen on some one better able than himself to discharge But although it might be difficult to find one in the company more incompetent than himself to propose the toast, yet ho felt sure that it would be equally difficult to find one who more earnestly: desired the prosperity of the association than hiniBelf. The speaker then to the various modes in which the society tended to improve the welfare of the agriculturists, and concluded by expressing. a hope that the chairman would give them some practical information on agricultural.

topics, information which, coining from such a source, could not fail to have Teat weight with all assembled. The toast was then drunk with three times three cheers, and one more. Rt. Denison, of Waplington Manor, then proposed the health of the judges. He said it was many years since he had -first had the oooortnnitv DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Surge.) NOVEL AND IMPORTANT ORDER BY THE LORD CHANCELLOR. The case of Tlwmas Melton, innkeeper, coach-master, and packet-owner, late of the City Arma Hotel, Lincoln, was again before the Court on Wednesday. Mr. Bell, solicitor, of Hull, who appeared for Mr.

Huddlcstone, solicitor, of Lincoln, the bankrupt's attorney, was in attendance, as also was the bankrupt himself. The Commissioner, addressing Mr. Bell, said that he had received an order from the Lord Chancellor, issued for the purpose of assisting the examination into the affairs of Thomas Melton, whose case, it would be remembered, occupied much of the time of the Court in the week before last. The very extraordinary circumstances under which the execution, at the suit of a relation, had been put in followed, as it was, immediately, by a declaration of insolvency on the part of Melton the fact of the taking charge of the books of the bankrupt by his own attorney, when, in point of order and regularity, they ought to have been in strict possession of the official circumstance, too, that the bankrupt's own solicitor was working the fiat, and not the solicitor of the creditors, all these matters, in this sinimlar case, nnlml with the statements ef the bankrupt at his last examination, and not losing sight of we manner in which he was disposed to answer important questions, involving a case of apparent and presumptive fraud to say no more and, at the same time, looking to thedis-. tahce at which the great body of the creditors resided, he (the Commissioner) had thought proper to represent to the Lord Chancellor the necessity there existed of his proceeding to Lin-' coin, as the most likely mode of getting at the facts of this important case, and sifting it to the hottom.

The Lord Chancellor had agreed to his suggestion, and issued his order accordingly. "Tuesday the 21st July, 1 646. "Loud Chancellor "In the matter of Thomas Melton, a bankrupt. "Whereas a flat has been issued against the above-named bankrupt, directed to Her Majesty's District Court of Bankruptcy at Leeds, under which the said bankrupt has been declared a bankrupt and whereas it has been represented to me by the commission acting in the execution of the said fiat, that it is alleged that frauds have been committed in the disposal of the effects of the said bankrupt, and that it would tend much to the proper examination into the state of affairs of the said bankrupt if the sittings of the said court were held at the city of Lincoln, where the said bankrupt resided, and at or near to which most of the creditors reside the same being at a considerate distance from Leeds aforesaid. Now I do hereby order that the future sittings of the said court, or such one or more of them as the said commissioner shall seem expedient, may be held at the city of Lincoln.

CoTTENHAM." The Commissioner said that Wednesday the 5th of August was fixed for the appointment of assignees in this case, at the court in Hull, hut the bankrupt need not attend then, unless, in the meantime, lie received an order to do so. He must, however, attend at the meetings at Lincoln. The Registrar read the order of the court for a meeting at Lincoln on Saturday, the 8th of August. Registrar to the bankrupt): You undertake to attend that day 1 Bankrupt Oh, yes, sir, and 1 have to thank his honour the Commissioner for holding the meetings at Lincoln, as it will cave me, as well as other parties, the great expences of coming to Hull. The Commissioner, in the course of the morning, gave the Official Assignee some injunctions in regard to a strict custody of the bankrupt's books, which he was requested to produce at Lincoln on the 8th of August.

In the meantime, neither the bankrupt, his attorney, nor any one else, were to have the books in their possession, without the surveillance of the Official Assignee. Final Order. In the case of George William Ellis, an insolvent, no creditor appeared to oppose, and the final order was granted. HULL POLICE COURT. FRIDAY.

Beore Messrs. Cookmim and Firbank. Tho only case of interest before the court this morning was that of alleged murder by a young man named Hazard. The case was remanded till to-morrow, and the whole of the evidence relating to It will be found published in another column, SATURDAY. Before the Mayor, Mr.

Thompson, and Mr. Ncnrmarch. Obstructino the Police. John Wilson was charged with obstructing Police-constable 92 in the execution of his duty. It appeared that Mr.

Wilson had been desirous to go on board a steamer which had just arrived to fetch his wife and children ashore. The policeman would not allow him to go on board, and when he pressed forward to do so pushed him back. Defendant then called the policeman a "ruffian," and used other abusive cpithet6 to him, whereupon he was taken into custody. On his cross-ejamination by Mr. Goodwill, who appeared on behalf of defendant, the policeman said he did remember defendant saying something about reporting him, but' did not recollect replying Well, then I'll take the first chance," and immediately taking him into custody.

Mr. Goodwill In this case your worship, I appear on behalf oLCaptain WilBon, who is a shipowner, and a very respectable The Mayor I do not think it necessary, Mr. Goodwill, for you to say a word on ihc subject. I think the man had a right to go on board to fetch his wife and children, and I know I should have thought it a very hard and unjust procedure if I had been prevented by a policeman from doing so. We think the case ought to be dismissed.

Mr. Goodwill Allow me, sir, just to say one word. My client at the time he was apprehended was intending to go to Goole, and was naturally anxious to see his wife and children, when he was prevented from doing so by the policeman. And yet for no offence against any law of the land, he was taken into cuBtody, and dragged through the streets like a felon. Mr.

Thompson The case is dismissed. Mr. Newmarch I think the police might find much greater nuisances than this. The Mayor Yes there are a great number of persons who congregate on the footpaths near to the pier, and at the commencement of the pier itself, who hinder persons who have business on board the steamers. I think if the police wero to clear the access to the pier, and thus facilitate instead of hinder the progress of those who have business on board the steamers, they would be doing a public good.

Mr. Thompson Yes, there are many very different characters to the person just charged whom the police might take into cuBtody with far greater reason. Stealing Laths. Jacob Bladsbuvn was charged with stealing laths, the property of George Dibb. Prosecutor in this case expressed a wish to withdraw the charge, as prisoner had a targe lamily entirely dependent upon him for support.

Dismissed, Robbing a Till. Peter Simpson was charged with robbing a till, the property, of Thomas Elliott. Prisoner, a great lounging lazy fellow, is brother-in-law to prosecutor, and although about six feet high, seems to consider it right that he should be maintained in idleness. When prosecutor would not give mm any ate at er nis dinner, prisoner went and robbed the till to purchase some with. The present charge was brought against him in order that he might be kept from the house in future.

Ordered to enter into his own recognizance for 5, and find a Burety in forty shillings to keep the peace for six months. The Alleged Murder. William Hazard remanded from yesterday on a charge of murder, was not aaain brouaht un. having in the mean time been committed to York for trial on a charge ot manslaughter. Mr.

Indecent Exposure. Thomas Clifford, was charged with indecently exposing his person.

VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER. On Thursday evening, a young man, a cotton-spinner, named John Freeman, while quarrelling with the doorkeeper of a booth, named William Hazard, suddenly fell down dead after receiving a blow from the latter, oti the stomach. Hazard was brought up on Friday, charged with the murder of Freeman, and remanded to the next day in order to give time for the CORONER'S INQUEST, Which was held at 3 o'clock on Friday, at tho Victoria Gardens, Sutton Bank. The following was the evidence adduced Michael Freeman sworn I live on the Sutton Bank I am employed at the factory, at the lodge, to let people in and out- The man who is dead is my son he is about 20 years of age he was employed in the Cotton mill he came in last night after half-past seven o'clock, when he left the factory he did not remain long in the house; I did not see liim again until I found him lying in a field on the Sutton Bank, Turner's field I think it is called, there is a booth in it. He was lying on his back when 1 saw him; he had been taken there to give him some air, but he wanted none, for I think he was quite dead he could not breathe at all.

Dr. Nicholson came and looked at him and said we might take him home. He was not in liquor when he came into my he had only just left work it was not much past eight o'clock when I saw him dead when he went out of my house last night, 1 think he wont out in company with Michael Dreeman, my nephew. Michael Freeman sworn I live on the Sutton Bank and am employed at the Cotton Factory I was at old Michael Freeman's (last witness's) house lost night, along with the deceased old Miohael Freeman is my uncle it would be a quarter to eight o'clock when we came out of the house; we went to Page's garden first, and we remained there about a quarter of an hour; we had a glass of porter each we then went to-Turnerrs booth we were going in at the door when the man who is a prisoner Hazard who was the door -keeper, stopped us. He wanted a penny a piece of us to no in the night before we had been told it would be free, but wnen we went expecting to got in tor nothing he asked a penny a-piece.

We refused to pay him the penny, and we stopped at the door, although Huzard told us to go away. We were then just inside the booth. Hazard had a whip in his hand which he gave to Turner's son, saying" Here hold this whin, I'll bloodv Boon make them He then laid hold of John Freeman by the neck, and started to hit him with his fists on his belly Freeman did not strike him, but I did; ounii rreeuicin never strucK mm at an. Hazard tried to push him out, and he said Hold-off!" and then Hazard hit him John Freeman would not go away before Ha-sard did hit him. -After I hit Hazard he struck me again, and when I got loose out of Hazard's arms, I biiw John Freeman lying on the floor, and he never spoke to me any more he was outside the door then.

Michael Riley was the first who went to him when he lay down, and Thomas Winns then came niid lifted him he never spoke or said anything. Tho doctor was sent for, and Came almost immediately, but deceased waB dead when he came. I never heard him speak after Hazird struck him. We wero both sober. I did not see him fall.

Hazard was quite sober; he is a blacksmith, I think. By the Jury John Freeman did not oriva nnv nhn. sive language to Hazard before he struck him while I was scuffling with Hazard Freeman fell, but how I do not. Know, am not see Hazard kick him. By the Cokonek I never heard Freeman complain of a pain in his cheBt or head.

Maria Cotter sworn I live in and am a single woman I was on Sutton. bank last night in the dancing booth; about half-past eight o'clock, I saw John Freeman and William Hazard fighting Hazard would not let Freeman in unless he paid a penny it was about that they quarrelled Freeman objected to pay the penny, whereupon Hazard pushed him out the crowd about the door pushed Freentun back again, and then William Hazard struck him here pointing to the pit of the stomach; Freeman bent down with the blow, and as he rose he said to Hazard, You have not done it for nothing," and as he spoke he fell back npon me, holding both his hands over the place where Hazard had struck him he never Bpoke after that, but fell to the ground I did not see Hazard kick him; after John Freeman fell, I went into tho bo th for about three minutes, I saw Michael Freeman hit Hazard on the face as soon as ever John Freeman fell down. I saw the man who took John Freeman up, after he fell down from me, curry him away. Huzard was in a passion, and appeared tostrike very viciously I never saw John Freeman strike Hazard I saw the conductor of the booth push him boforo Hazard sLruck him. The booth was erected in consequence of its being Sutton Feast I believe they call the man Power who keeps it.

The Cokoneh said, after the evidence they had just heard, it was quite impossible for the jury to come to a conclusion, without a post mortem examination of deceased. In answer to questions from the Coroner, Mr. Nichol-boii (who had been called to deceased last night) said he could not make a post mortem examination in less than two hours. It was, therefore, resolved that, after hearing the next witness, the jury should adjourn its sitting to seven o'clock the same evening. Charles Dale, sworn 1 live on Sutton Bank, and am a cotton spinner; I was at Turner's booth last night about nine o'clock I was not in, but was at the entrance of the booth there wero Beveral persons present besides nio and deceased.

John Freeman made an attempt to get into the booth, tho young man who was at the door prevented him I don't know tho name of the young man, although 1 have heard know him again if 1 sav him. He would not let Freeman in without he paid a penny, and that Freeman would not do. The publican's son, named Turner, and the young man at tho door, both laid hold of deceased and pushed him back. The man that was tending" the door ot hold of Freeman by the throat Freeman laid hold of "his arm to prevent himself from being throttled, but thedoor keeper was the stronger of the two, and kept him at arms length, and while he had hold of him by the throat he kicked him twice on the belly with his right foot. I am quite sure he kicked him; he never struck him with his fist I was taking particular notice of what passed he 8eomed to have pretty strongish bootB on, but I can't tell whether they we laced hoots or not.

I au quite sure he never struck him. Deceased struggled a bit, and then turning a queer look on the man who kicked him, he said You shall pay for this," and then fell down. The door-keener went back into tim hnnt.h nnri I still stood at the door. He went into the booth because auirni peopio uuviseo mm 10 uo so, saying lie would be getting ill-uBed if he did not go in. Some mn carried deceased ten or a dozen yards from the door, some said he was dead and some that he was in a tit.

He never rallied or revived at all after he fell, but died there and then. By the Jury Turner's son never Blruck him, nor any one else. The oonductor of the booth came up when deceased was down, and said Who is it that wants to iiuti j. ii uut, nun us siuv freeman lung down, however, he turned back. I did not go inside the booth at till.

I stood on the right side of Hazard. The Coroner I think you said you should know the uoor-Keeper again it you saw mm, but that you had forgotten his name WitneBS Yes, sir, I did say so. 1 he Coroner Why you mentioned hisnamejust now? Witness 1 know they call him Anderson or Harrison; 1 don'tknow which, but I know its one of thetwo. liy the Jury I did not see Michael Freeman strike tne man who kicked deceased at all. The inquest was then adjourned to seven o'clock in the evening at the same place.

ADJOURNED INQUEST. Charles Dale was recalled, and dcnnnprl to hnvlnrr been down to tho gaol with a policeman he had seen a man numea vt imam Hazard in confinement there, and identified him as the person who had kicked deceased. John Lee Nicholson sworn I am a surgeon I was called to the deceased last night about a quarter past nine o'clock I found him lying in a field on the Sutton lianK, Belonging to air. Turner; he was quite dead when got there. 1 Have made a post mortem examination of the body from that post mortem examination I am enabled to determine that the cause of his death was eitnsion on the brain.

The Coroner Are there any appearances in the ah dominal viscera to induce you to suppose that the effusion on the brain might be caused by injury there 1 vv ltness it is aimcuit to determine tor although the Huuomitiai viscera were in a suite or great congestion still they were not in a state of iiinim.natorv action. com nie siouiucn anu. me intestines were very vascular inaeea. The Coroner Can you trace any connection be tween the state of the stomach and intestines, and the congestion of the brain of which you hive spoken 1 Witness No doubt one would affect the other the arterial action would be increased in consequence of the congested state of the abdominal viscera. There is not a question but the state of the abdominal viscera would act on the brain.

The Coroner Might it cause that appearance on the brain which you have described Witness It would materially influence the appearance of the brain, no doubt the main influence it would have would be to increase the arterial action, thereby increasing the congestion of the brain the congestion of the brain would most probably arise from the stomach being in that highly vascular slate. The Coroner tho vascularity of the abdominal viscera be caused by any blow on the stomach Witness Undoubtedly, it might. CoiioNKtt Were there any exterior marks of cchy-mosis to show there had been that violence used to the stomach Witness Very slight, very slight indeed. There was not sufficient external discoloration for me to be able to form a decided opinion on the subject of whether deceased had been violently kicked or struck. There was both congestion of tho brain, and effusion on the brain.

When 1 say effusion 1 mean an effusion of blood and not of serum. No doubt this bloody effusion was the immediate cause of death, and I suspected that all along from the dilated pupils. per acre.

In conclusion, ne gave ine neaitu or mr. coyes, wmcn was received with cheers and was very appropriately acknowledged by the Secretary. The representatives of the press are very much indebted to Mr.

Boyes for his urbanity and uniform anxiety to supply every information in his power. We wish we could say the same of some members of the elected committee, who on this occasion appropriated to themselves the seats set apart for the reporters, and refused to give them up when informed of the fact. The receipts at the gate of the show ground amounted to considerably upwards of j650. There is every prospect therefore of the great usefulness of the societv being maintained. JUDUES.

I hove long been ol opinion that it was very possible to construct receptne'es for holding fold-yard and other manure in such a manner as to render them very important adjuncts in the economy of that part of farm management which depends upon colliding and preparing manures. ft' I will first describe the nlan mumcation, and then proceed to show "the use of it I Lt i TI 1-! r-r-r notes here, and, therefore, I have studiously refrained from doing so me uoroner At an events you can remember it if you think it at all material.

The Coroner then said You have now heard, gentlemen, the whole of the evidence that is to be adduced on this inquiry. There appears to be no doubt that John freeman, last night, between eight and nine o'olock, went to the entrance of a booth belonging to Mr. Turner, of which Hazard was the doorkeeper; that Freeman (now unhappily dead) attempted to get into the booth a penny was demanded as the ailmininn fen. and the booth being private property, there can be no doubt that the owner had a right to charge what he chose for admission. The deceased refused to pay the penny, and when requested to walk away, he refused to do that also; he was then taken hold of and pushed out, but (whether of his own act, or whether pushed by the crowd does not clearly appear) he again attempted to get into the booth, and did make some personal resistance to the doorkeeper.

According to the testimony of some witnesses, Wm. Hazard, the doorkeeper, then struck him twice. And in this part of the case you will observe a great discrepancy betiveen the accounts of the witnesses whom you have had before you for while Micnaet tjreeman (who assisted deceased in opposing Hazard) and Maria Cotter distinctlv aav that Hazard struck deceased with his fist and did not kick at all, and amines uaie, wno says ne was particularly watching what took place, distinctlv swears that Hazard kinked deceased twice with his right foot, and did not strike him with his fist at all. Now which of these statements you will adopt as the true account of the transaction is a matter which must be left entirely to your own judgment. On being struck, deceased, according to one witness, said, Yon have not done this for nothing and, according to another, "You shall pay for thisl" Immediately, on having uttered these words, the unfortunate man fell down against the Witness Cotter, and thence on the ground.

Be was removed a few yards under the impression that he was in nfit.nnrf wnntoA air; hut he never spoke a word more, and you hear that that surgeon, who was instantlv Bent for, found him quite dead. There caii he' no doubt that the evidence shows violence and that ot a eross kind to hHn used by Hazard towards deceased: hut if winVh think there is very little reason to doubt you are satis fied that deceased died in consequence of that violence, I dp not think-the evidence will warrant-vou in charging Hazard with any higher crime than that of mnnanmfctor. There is no malice prepense which is required to constitute the crime of murder. The' man Hazard had a right to turn him, the deceased, out of the booth, but it is very certain that he exceeded the law, he ought to have obtained the assistance of a policeman. A the same time, ins resistance was not ot such a kind us to lead you to infer that his -object was the-taking away of life; no dangerous instrument was used, nor were any means adopted Which could have rendered it likely that the mutter woum terminate lutany.

it is stated, on tho one hand, that Huzard struck deceased with and on the other, that ho kicked him with his foot. You will give to the witness that degree of credence vou think fit, and consider your Verdict. In a few minutes the jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter," and the Coroner immediately issued his warrant for the committal of Hazard to York. EAST RIDING AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.

THE DINNER was held in the large Assembly Rooms, Norwood, veriey, una was provmeu oy Mrs. tho King's Arms Inn, and tho more name of the provider is suffl. cient to vouch for its excellence and abundance. About 200 gentlemen sat down together, and partook of a dinner abounding in everything which the most fastidious could require.

The Queen," drunk with three-times-three. The next toast the Chairman proposed was the Queen Dowager," and that was followed by the proposition of the health of Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family." Prince Albert, the Chairman said, was a farmer on a large scale, and had mora than once exhibited stock especially pigs which had been highly commended. Ona member of the Royal Family the Duke of Cambridge also took greot interest in the welfuro of agriculture, and had attended the show at Newcastle last week.

Riohahd BETiiEf.L, on rising for the purpose of proposing the next toast, received the loud cheers of the meeting. He suid he had been requested to propose the next toast, and it wns a toast which in a society of this Kind always met with henrty respect, it was The Archbishop and Clergy of the diocese." He felt Bure the toast would be acceptable to all who heard him, as the Archbishop and the Clergy had on every occasion in their power manifested the friendliness ol their feeling towards the agriculturist. The toast having been drunk with duo honours, The Rev. and Ven. Archdeacon Cretke roe to respond, and was loudly cheered.

He said, he found bv the paper which was laid before him, that the duty devolved upon him of returning thanks for the toaBt which had been so kindly proposed by his excellent friend Mr. Bethell, and so warmlv responded tn Tho reluctance on his part to undertake the task assigned to him, he trusted, would not be attributed in any way to a want of entertaining a true sense of the honour conferred upon them.butfromaknowledgehow inadequately he muBt express to them thegratitudewhich they all of them felt. He trusted that the way in which that toast had been received by them, as a testimony that in their opinion the archbishop and clergy the diocese of York were not inferior to any of their brethren in the zeal and earnestness with which they endeavoured to discharge the sacred dutieB devolving upon them. He trusted also he might add that they were not inferior to any of their brethren in moderation and discretion, qualities which at all times were of great value but which, in times like these, were of inestimable importance. Cheers.

He had no doubt that the kindness, consideration, friendliness, and benev olence of the Archbishop would be acknowledged by all although ho had now attained the great age of nearly four score years and ten, his grace, the archbishop, was still able to discharge the duties of his great diocese, with faculties both of body and mind unimpaired. He (Mr. Creyke) would not detain them longer, but in the nnm nf iv, ni-. bishop and clergy of the diocese he should beg to return his most humble and grateful thanks. Cheers.

The Chairman, in proposing the next toast the army and navy said since Britain was a nation she had always been famous for the bravery of her army and navy, during war, for her fortitude under every privation, and for her good conduct during times of peace Applause. He should have to occupy much of their time were lie to attempt to recount the mnnv had attended our arms by land and sea for many hundreds sars. But he must be forgiven for calling the at-on of the meeting to some few events of the present tenti century, among which the victories of Nelson and Wei- In the centre of the tower, at the intersection 0f four croBS walls, there is an upright post, seem-i built into and otherwise secured to the walls to post is attached a light crane, with a barrel and I to lift tho manure into the bins at the end of the or rope, or chain, is a wrought iron grab, which will if6' and take up about a barrowful (say the eighth part cubic yard) of manure at one hoist. The crane enable two men to fill the biuB with great ease and pedition it would take less time and labour to ra'if' cartload of manure into the bin than (o fill the cart the fold-yard, and the contents of the bins mieht taken out of them and placed carts alongshte th tower with equal facility. If the tower was built one side of the fold-yard, and near the stables, the mann0" might, in such case, be hoisted immediately out of fold-yard into the bins.

The floor of each comnartmr.nt of the bins should be laid with a fall towards one COrn and a hole made through the wall to communicate with a drain leading yi manure tank. It would be nerncBa have a for the purpose manure into the bins. The top of the tower pro- wim a so constructed that (any one of the 'four compartments can be Igot at sepa- Vfltolt, Til. I 'uirmg uiuie win snow ine capacity or the binB in the tower, as shown upon the plan also the capability of greatly increasing them by enlarging the area of each. ft.

in. feet cubic yards A bin 0 square and 21 deep, will contain 28 of 21 aj "74 21 i2 7 11 21 49 "80 21 (, It will be seen by this table that by increasing thr- area ot the bins to 8 feet 6 inches, double the capacity will be obtained without very materially increasing the area of the site upon which they may be built the exterior dimensions of the first is 14 feet 3 inches, of the last, 19 feet 3 inches each tower contains four bins therefore, the smallest will hold 112 cubic yards and the largest 224 cubic yards. When the whole contents of a bin are decomposed and consolidated by pressure it is more than probable that it will contain materials that originally occupied more than double this space. By means of bins constructed as I have here described, vast quantities of manure could be stored in a building occupying no moro space than a two-Btnll stable indeed, it might, in some cases, be desirable to place the towers over a tank, divided into compartment u. ouit.o uuucuoiuus muse in me tower the tank might then be said to occupy the basement story, and the bins the upper floors or part above ground- eich compartment of such a tank (6 feet square) would eon-tain for every yard of depth 684 imperial gallons, or the four compartments, 2736 gallons, which is, I believe somewhere about the quantity of liquid manure made by four cows six months.

When the straw, in a fold-yard or elsewhere has Iain long enough to answer the purpose of litter, it ought, I should say, to be taken up and stored in tho bins, because in this state but a very slight and partial decomposition can have taken place in the materials intended to be converted into manure. Now, when it is put into bins in this state, it is certain that fermentation will take place and heat be evolved in the same manner as in hotbeds made of similar material, every fresh addition of litter will ferment as in the first instance, and so on till the bins are full tha mass in the lower part of the bin will of courso cool in time, and keep cooling upwards as tho process of decomposition goes on considerable subsidence and reduction in the original bulk of the litter, will also take place. The ammouiacal gas generated during the process of decomposition, would have to pass upwards through the mass of litter, and its escape might be prevented by sprinkling the surface with diluted sulphuric acid, or by covering it with gypsum, Sec, which would convert the ammonincal gas into a sulphate of ammonia liquid manure would have to be added to the fresh litter in such quantities as might be necessary to excite gentle and regular fermentation if the heat became too strong it could bechecked by an extra dose of tho liquid manure The advantages of such a plan as 1 have described, are, my humble judgment, of immense importance, and well deserving the most serious consideration of practical men. By it vast quantities of manure mav be collected in a comparatively small space; decomposition will go on without waste of the gases geneiated during the process, and a much greater quantity of manure produced from a given quantity of litter or other materials, than is now done by the present general wasteful practice of making open dung-hcaps. It would have this further advantage, namely th.it of being reduced to a proper state for application to the land, and would keep in this state for a long period without deterioration or loss ofits fertilizingproperties; mid 1 am inclined to believe, that it would be a long stride towards perfecting an old and favourite project of mine for converting farm-yard manure into a state fit to be drilled in with seed.

If this can be accomplished, as 1 believe it will be, and ere long too, a very important step will be gained towards economising the application of farm-yard manure. As I am on the subject of converting manure into a state suitable for this purpose, I may as well explain how I think it might be done. Suppose a manure bin tower to bo constructed as I have described, and that one or more bins are filled with manure in a rotten and compressed state, this manure should be taken out and placed under oa, or against, trie sides ot tho tower, and protected liy un awning in bad weather, there to un parciany uneu, or until it was in a to be reduced to a very coarse powder, suitable for drilling with seed by itself, or mixed with other fertilizers; a mill for reducing the manure and mixing it with other ingredients, would bo very simple an easy of construction. Fold-yard manure reduced to a coarse powder, lias one property not common to any other fertilising substance, and that is its capability of holding moisture in a state of mechanical mixture, and in consequence of its ouen texture, of keeping the earth imbedding the seed in a moist friable condition, for a longer period than any other description of fertiliser. Guano, or any mineral fertiliser when mixed with it, would not sc immediately be washed below the roots of the plant.

I shall be much gratified if anything I have said should direct the attention of practical men tothesub-jectof manufacturing and storing up manures by sonic Mich plan as I have described. I would suggest for their consideration the desirableness of ascertaining the effect of pressure on manure when placed under circumstances Bimilar to that in the bins, and what period of time would be required to render it a tolerably dry mass by such pressure also, when it is taken out of the bins, whether the elements of the manure are so completely oombined as to lose nothing by exposure when subjected to a further dryi in the nil. I ath inclined to believe that no material los-i would be sustained by such exposure, and that ma' ire so prepared, that is, on this process from first to I. st, would save an immense amount ot labour, cartage, in all probability the saving in one, or at most two- years, would be equal to the expense of erecting the towers, BANKRUPTS-FROM THE "LONDON GAZETTE- FRIDAY, JULY 24.

Ir I I VA Yd of addressing a meeting of-the members of the East Riding Agricultural Association, and he had witnessed with great pleasure its subsequent success and prosperity. Politics were forbid to be discussed on suoh ocoasions as this, but he might he pardoned for remarking that no matter what difficulties and obstacles stood in the way-of the agriculturists, yet the government would not by any measure which they brought forward cause the members of the East Hiding Association to break up that societv.

In nrnnnniun- Hm judges' healths, Mr. Denison remirked on the diliicultv ui mou uuvicb, miu on tuts utter impossioiuty ot their decisions pleasing all; he believed, however, that. judges at the East Riding Agricultural show had given more general satistaction than usually fell to the lot of gentlemen in their situation. The toast was drunk with due honours. John Smith, of Welton, in proposing the next toast the unsuccessful competitors regretted the absence of the judges to respond to the last toast, and then referred to the pleasure which it gave him to propose tho ono now entrusted to him, although he himself was an unsuccessful competitor.

He had exhibited stock which he had thought deserving of a prize, but the result had shewn him that he must pay moro attention to the breeding and condition of his stock, if he would carry off tha premiums on these occasions. He trusted the want ot success that day would only be a stimulus to all unsuccessful competitors to produce better stock on me next occasion, luneers sir uiias. Anderson proposed the next toast. He said it was with very great, surprise that ho found himself called upon that day to propose a toast he had not been a member of the association above twenty-four hours, and he thought tkis was pressing him into active service very early. Laughter.

13ut no doubt the gallant president thought he was acting on the principles gciiorniaiiiij uy Bringing lorwura so soon a young and enthusiastic recruit. He (Sir Charles) would not have entered an association of this kind had ho not thought it incumbent especially at this time on every one to join associations, the object of which was to keep all classes of agriculturists in harmony and unity cheers. And, therefore, though he was aware that he could not do this toast the justice due to it, yet he wus not sorry that it had been committed to his hands, in order that he might have an opportunity of expressing his conviction of the benefit which all landlords derive from their tenants. Cheers. He had personally felt how deeply he was indebted to them.

Cheers. His estate was a small one, comparatively with those of gentlemen who lie snw around hiin, but he must say that on his esta'e he had met from tho tenants belonging to him with that conSdence, skill, and science for which he should feel ever grateful. He believed no portion of tho tenantry of the eountry was more to be valued than was the tenantry of the East Riding, and he therefore gave the toast of Tho Tenantry of the East Biding with peculiar pleasure. Cheers. The tenants and many of the labourers, too had continued on the sumo furma for avast number of years; among the tenants of the East Riding were those whose ancestors had for generations before thorn held the same farm which their lie-pendants nuw ouuupieu.

iong tney continue to live together, united by those closo ties of friendship that had so long existed between the landlords and the tenants of the East Riding. Cheers. At the present time, especially, this bond of union was mo3t important. Applause. They nil knew that union was strength; and as lie wns one of those who did not view the prospects of agriculturists with that cheerfulness with which some did, he considered it most essential that the landlord the tenant, and the labourer, should ho united in the' bonds of friendship and unity.

Loud cheers "The Tenantry of the'East drunk with three times three. Mr. GiioRQE Wood, of South Dalton, acknowledged the toaBt. He called attention, however, to the risid economy required from the tenantry to make ends meet The man who rated one hundred acres, at 5, paying 500 a year, had to pay 500 more for labour, other 0110 for seed, and 500 in manure, and 500 in other burdens, making 2,500 a year, so that he who had to pay o00 rent, was a clever man if he could realise 600 clear, to live upon and pay his rent with. He spoke in high terms of the management of James Hall Esq.

(steward to Lord Hothani), and pruposed that gentleman's health, which wub well received and suitably acknowledged. James all, Scorbro', in rising to acknowledge the compliment paid him, was much applauded, and very ably pointed out the importance of harmony and unity among all classes of agriculturists. Lord Hotiiam, after paying a well-timed tribute to me uumuoici ouuirman, aim speaking in terms of high respect for his qualifications for the importunt oob which he now occupies, gave The President of tin ii.sauciui.ioii. xrruiiit witn the honours. The CiiAiiiMAN very cordially acknowledged the to st Jjnatiun Hakrison, with much feeliii" alluded to the necessity which existed for adopting some means of simplifying the knowledge of chemistry as applied to soils and manures, and communicating that information, in a popularly intelliuihle way, to the members generally.

Mr. Harrison's arm he concluded by giving The Vice-President. 6 The Hon. Capt. Duncombe acknowledged the toast, and proposed "The Elected Committee," to which Mr Matihsoh responded.

"The Unsuccessful Competitors," were afterwards toasted, by the Chairman, and suitably acknowledged by Mr. John Smith. Tho CruntMAN then rose to bring the proceedings to a close, but wished first to give the health of their very able secretary, Mr. Boyes. After expressing the obligations which the committee and members were under to that gentleman for his un wearied assiduity, punctuality, and attention, the Chairman offered some valuable remarks on practical farming, the result of experiments upon his own estate, upon farms in Lincolnshire, and upon another farm of a Mr.

Davis, which he (the chairman) had lately visited in company with Mr. Watson ot audby.
