I do not meam to talk about my own sentiments or my own opinion !; I bate already declared them , before joa , and no one hu called my word in qoattlon . With respect to my

      parliamentary conduct I aik to haTa die tame role applied to me that I observe towardi others . I do not can upon any man to explain t * me the motive of hit behaviour , and I do not recognise in any man the right to make me personally responsible for my parliamentary acta . I am aaswerable to my constitaaatts , and to no oca else . Of whst am I aocnsei ! Of accepting pojmlar fanctioaa ! Of accepting s caadldstare I neTer claimed —( diet of < Oh , obi *) Well ! I accept that caadMatiue—( renewed exclamation * ef dif tatiifwdoa . ) I accept a candidatore that honours me . I accept It became three iBCceiiiie election * , and the unanimous decree of the Rational Ars ? mtty , anralHogtae proscription that existed against my family , warraaU ma in the belief that France regards

      the name I bear as a guarantee for the consolidation of society , shaken to its foundation —( loud murmurs}—and for the strength and prosperity of the Bepublie . How little do they who accuse me of ambition knoway heart If it wsi not that aa imperative duty detains me here , if tee sympathy of my fellow coantrymen did not console me for the animosity with which I have been attackod , 1 should bare regretted that I had ever left my exile . My sCesce has been made subject of reproach , but it is not every one who is gifted with aa eloquent facility of publidj expressing his ideas . la there but the one way of larrisg one ' s country ! What the country wants is a firs wise , and inelligeat gOTsmment , able rather to teal its wounds than setting to avenge * k * m ( mur . nun)—a government which should frankly take the { sad in support of sound principles , and so put down

      more effectually than by bayonet * Each theories as are repulsive to reason . I know that it u intended te set difficulties and snares in my way , but I shall take care sot to fall into them , for I will persevera steadfastly in the course of iconduot I hare prescribed for myself , without allowing nsyself to be disturbed bj what may be passing inmj regard : nothing shall came me to forget my duty . I bare but one otject , and that is to merit the esteem of the Assembly , to win the esteem of men of worth , and to prora even to those megnanlmous persons « ao treated my name with so mnch levity yesterday that I deierva even their confidence . I now declare that , for the future , notwithstandiBg any organised system of ' pro-Tccstion that may be employed against me , I will not nance any mote InterpeQatians . Strong in my coasdenc ^ I shall remain immovable against all attacks , and impatsahls under all calumnies . '

      Exxcotiok at Aw . —Oa Thursday week James M'Wheelan , was executed at Ayr for the murder of a young lad named James Young , at Forty Acres , near Slim trneck . The wretched man it appears , up till two or three days before his death , exhibited a very unsatisfactory state of mind , ana enly the day before could be brought to make a simple admission that he was guilty of the murder . He declined entering upon any particulars .

Up till Wed . neiday anything like an allusien to tbe duty be ley under ; to confess the crime with nhioh he stood oharged routed | him to a kind of madness , during whloh he showed himself a melancholy picture of ferodtj ; and as the work . j logs of his own depraved haatt , as well ashls experience { of the evil principles ef his sompanions , prompted in I bin a suspicion of the advances of every one , itrcqnlred

      no common skill and delicacy to succBtd in gainin g his confidence . His religious opinions , if they ceuld be otlled sueb , were a raws of the most pernicious ef the social » Hd infidel class , which he had imbibed at a smithy in the north of Ayrshire , where he had wrought for some time . ' , These maintained a alroag hold on bit mind to the very last . Tbe prisoner . took ao test doring the night prraeding his execution ; he walked to the scaffold with a firm gait , and in the court-yard of the prison , in calm accents unmoved by the slightest sgltatioi of nervg or m ' osole , he shook haadt with the governor and his attendants , and said generally to all present— ' 1 bear anger at no man ; I owe no man any Ul-will ; fare ye well .

      HEREFORD INDUSTRIAL AID SOCIETY . The annual meetingof the friends of the Hereford Society for Aiding the Industrious was held on Monday evening , in St Peter ' s School Room .

Mason , Esq ., H . Barnard . Esq ., J . M . Scobie , Esq ., Mr Vale , Mr Pember , Mr Kettle , Mr Hall , Mr Hill , Mr Hooper , Mr Williams , &c . Letters were received from J . Bailey , jun ., Esq ., M . P ., the Rev . W . E . Evans ; and other gentlemen , regretting that from prior engagements they were unable to attend the meeting . There vtaa a giatifying exhibition of specimens of vegetables grown in the allotment gardens of tbe society , consisting of onions , carro ! 8 , beetooot 9 , celery , parsnips , &c , many of which— the onions especially—were of great size and of excellent quality .

      The proceedings commenced about seven o ' clock , The Lord Bishop , who was received , on rising , with hearty applause , addressed the meeting as follows : —Ladies and Gentlemen , Christian brethren , I have much pleasure in bringing before you the object of the present meeting , which is the support of the Hereford Society for Aidine the Industrious . Doubtless there are many persons in this room more qualified , by experience , and acquaintance with the proceedings of the society , to bring forward its claims before you ; but on none does it come more properly than on myself , as holding authority in the Church of Christ . On no person more sirbngly does the obligation come , though it falls ' upon ail

      Christ's people , than upon the ministers of the Church . We find in the New Testament that Paul and Barnabas , when sent forth to ' preach , were expressly desired hot-to , confine their attention , to the poor of the Gentiles , but to extend their care to the poor generally ; to their poor Jevtish brethren , as well as to those of the Gentiles , and to take care of all the poor brethren of Christ . The poor have been especially committed to us ministers of the Gospel , since , by our Lord himself , the Gospel was preached to ' the poor . This wbb one great test of H ' i 3 divine mission . When the disciples of John came to inquire of Him whether he was the Messiah , part of His reply was , ' to the poor the Gospel is

      preached / That great blessing , the love of God , which is poured forth in the Gospel towards our race , is poured forth especially for the poor , as the great bulk of the members of the Christian Church . We are told expressly 4 hat , as the members are united ia one body , so are we all members of that great body of which Christ as the head . The object of such a society , is this coincides . with the great object of the Gospel , since we are told that' the poor shall never cease from the land , and that' the rich and the poor meet together—the Lord is the maker of them all . ' Each have their appointed station ; the rich to set forth by their example , their influence , their authority , the great truths of the Gospel , and

      te dispense its blessings among their brethren ; the poor by their contentment , by their gratitude , their industry , and their humble following of those who exert themselves in setting ferth those blessings' to the world . But it may be asked who are the rich ? who are the poor ? Do not suppose thatthe rich are merely those who enjoy great wealth and great influence in the world , and that in this way you may evade your obligations to the poor : the rich are all those who are above the necessities of life , whom God has blessed with competence . They are the great middle classes , as they are now called ; the classes who are below the temptations of the ' very rich , and above those of the very poor . These are

      the persona whom God has called to set forth the truths of His Gospel by their means , their authority , their influence , and their example . The description applies especially to us who are here present . We have received a command , a trust , nay , a privilege from our Lord to do good to our brethren who are poorer than ourselves , not only by our influence and our example , but by our means . We have the opportunity of ; doing good , not merely by what i « called charity , that is , the distribution of our more abundant means to our poorer brethren , but by the blessings of our superior education , our greater leisure , our more enlarged informatien , and other advantages which we enjoy . We that are not so

      encumbered by the necessity of providing for our subsistence by the work of our hands—it is our duty to provide especially for the comfort of our poorer brethren . This object is especially promoted , by such a society as this . I do not mean that individ-, ually we can do this ; we have not & \\ of us the means , in the competent knowledge of tbe subject ; hut by uniting we are enabled to bring out know , ledge , our talent , our leisure , our means , our money , and whatever talent God has given us , to the greatest advantage for our poorer brethren , How gladly , then , should we hail such a society as this , which not only relieves their temporal wants , but puts them in the way of availing themselves of the

      means of relieving their spiritual wants . You thus not merely give alms ; you enable those who wish-to layout their industry to the Jjest advantage , to do so ; as well as it is in your power to do so , you second their laudable efforts for the support of themselves . By the charity wh : ch you otherwise dispense , you often frustrate the " exertiong of the individuah themselves ; and , so far from doing good , it is often . eminently injurious both to the individufl and to society . . Each is called upon to exert himself to the utmost-in that station of life in which God has placed him , not to depend upon others , but to look to them fdFcountenanceand support while he

      is fulfilling " his duties in the station to which God has called him ; and , therefore , I consider this society eminently deserving of our patronage , inasmuch as it does not attempt to supersede the exertions of the poor , but only to aid them . 1 trust that 1 need say little more for the claims of such a society as this . Its existence for seven" years or more has proved by experience that its exertions are productive of extensive good . I am not myself very well acquainted with the details of the society ' s operationa , having been but a short time connected with it , but you will hear them stated in the report of the secretary . I will therefore call upon him to read the report for the last year . ( Alause )

Again , the ohildren and wives could not go to the garden if it were a great distance from the dwelling , so that tha distance lessened the amount and the advantages of their assistance .

Another consideration was that , wherever the garden might be plaoBd , if they wanted a large produce , suoh as he should show them had been obtained , they muBt use a great qua * tity of manure ; If a man kept a pig , he would have manure , but it he had to onrrv . U a mile , or even half a mile , to the ground , as at Stourbridge . the ground will , in many cases , be only half manured , ^ he had found to be the case in various inBtanceB . ¦ By a pro per system of spade husbandry , with the use of liquid manure , and a moderate amount of skill , such as every labourer might attain , there was no doubt but

      that the allotments would be . very advantageous if situated near the honses . Mr Svmona went on to say that at Bridgnorth the board of guardians had been enabled to take a fwm-they would smile at hia oalling it a farm , since it was only four aores u t ^ v ^ r ^ ' . JR > then " »« d fcne ? ^ d brought thither . the ohildren from the Union workhousa , keeping them there altogether . With the exception of a very little assistance by men , the work of the garden is done entirely by about fifteen ohildren . He had obtained from the master of the Union workhouse , an intelligent maa and % practised agriculturist , a statement of the frystem and itB results , whioh 'he would read . The net profit on the four acreB and a half was £ 65 laat year . The master says : —

      The kinds of produce ere , manfola ' -wurasl , oarrots , cabbage , vetches or tares , Italian ryg . grass , and patatoes . These lait inpply the sobool at a market price ; ana if there be any to spare , they are sold wherever I can find ths beat market . J mmt hoc omit to tell yon Sir , that I alwajs endeaveur , when practicable , to take a leoond erop oflF tbe same ground , which I am in general able to do , from the large amount of liquid manure I have at command ; tor instanoa , after early pota . » oes I g « t rape or while mustard , after tbe winter vetches I get swtdes , and after the firstsown vetches turnips .

' It may not be , uninteresting to you to know that one of tha boys grew on one perch of ground , last year , nwngold-jjrorgdt ; weighing 6 owt , 1 qr . 51 bi ., or more than 88 tons per acre . I believe , too , I may eay . the average weight per acre of the crops we grow are , as par axmay be , as follows :-Cabbage , 50 tow . carroti ^^ to , 34 tons ; s . wedei , 30 tons ; warzelB , 80 to 40 ; pota , * o » s ,. 800 bushels of . 901 b » ., or more than twelve toss , Wa hava four acres of ground cultivated b ) the spade .

      ( Signed ) Hebit Ginnim , Hatter . At Marhefc Drayton Union , there is a garden containing two roods and fifteen poles and a half . It produced , last year , potatoes , cabbages , turnipB , onions , oarrota , paranipa , peas , and other vegetables , to the amount of £ 36 18 j 3 d ., being no less than at ihe rate of & ® 14 s ; 8 d . per aore . In other Umons the governors had assured him that , with proper management , good land may be easily made to produce from U 0 to £ 50 gross produce per annum per acre .. Now , so far from this being a mere fanciful tioture , he could produce three or four other oases of niueh larger returns , but he did not wish to press the argument beyond its legitimate influence . From hia omotal experience he'had no doubt thatunder a

      , proper system of spade husbandry , with the applicaaon of liquid manure , and loo » tioh of the allotments close to the oottagea , an average annual produoe of j pet acre might be obtained ; He estimated the seedat £ 2 JOa . per half acre , whioh would leave somewhere about £ 16 or £ 11 net , after deduoting the rent of land . Of course , on that calculation , the labourer was Bupposed to give his labour ; and in that way the return on which he might reckon would be about 6 i . ii . per week . But some workinj men might reply , i » v knovr thesB newfangled ways . ' ' ( A raiigh . Well ., they were , not qo , very new fangled . Therewere some yerj cheap traota published by whioh the system was explained ; and if they could getBome person here who would Bhow the people the way to oarry out the

      systenuiiey might get something like the return which he had mentioned . If , however , they did not gam a return to tbe extent whioh he had stated , they would gain a . great moral advantage . It had been very properly remarked by the Mayor that the allotments formed one of the best means for keeping men rom the beer shop and the publio house ; and he ( Mr Symone ) could give them oases of persons- who had been either drunkards , or at least in the habit of frequenting beer houses , &o . » but had been reclaimed , and who owned .. tbaLthey , owed it under Goa to the aid of the ailoimentB . . .

His friend told him that the dibbling system was a failure en large farms , but would do well on small farms . He said , ' I have produced 2 , 000 grains from one grain of seed . I fall ; admit that , as a general principle , corn ought to be dibbled . ? The amount of produce from one grain was to be explained by the fact that , if they put jn % single grain , it had the power to tiller ; that is , the corn becomes several distinct plants . It was not unusual to ' find one grain

      thus produoe twenty-eight , and in some cases thirty diatinot ears . His friend went on to uj , ' I don't say that the farmer ought to dibble corn instead of aowing it , as .. there are a great many things whioi tender Bowing at , . random preferable to dibbling , It costs more than Bowing it thin—it takea more time to grow , ana the land must , there fore be got ready earlier .
