THE FARMER'S CAUSE. TO Tar TIMOR OT TIE IXTRUS. Sin, —At the Hantieglotishire cementy meeting, on the 22nd December, each 011121courea were mode as deserve pbe published through the Merlon. It wee then ex fa ned why rmers do sot salts to demand a redaction of rent, rates, sad taxes. The reams is, the whole sum meld as not rates, and tax.s, does not amount to as much as protection. Aud it mu shown that corn, upon an average of years, had Soma sal at more than 71. per bethel, and without protection they can onl expect ss. Now, this 21. min Wee, ukase hot , w more Ikea all th e rue, ✓ates, sad tun, upon the land. Penmen have been chal lenged to have their land cleated of rent, rates, and taxes. spin coedition that they pay Is. per bushel foe all the cora frown. Under protrch they have had 2.. nitre per bushel, which is twice as much as all the chaos' upon the cropping land. Toe data producing( them disclosures are the poor-law re turns and perish rate-bock' documents agricalturios are suwilleag to refer to. Huidinedon union comprehends 80,000 Mt , ; poor's-rate and county-rate 12,000/., or 3s. per *ere. Deducting town matesstenta from the 12,000/, leaves km than 2s. per acre for the arable land per annum. In many parishes the fear rates—poor, 'county, church, high ,to not tamed 2 . sere. Land at 17.. per a cre rent, grews 21 quarters, or 20 bushels. Add to the rent 2s. rates and Is. taxes, those make 20s , which is just le. per bushel. In asking, therefore, for a fixed duty of Se. new quarter, farmers an asking for as much as wed clear their land. This is a disclosure of some moment—hut it Pt not all. Under the old laws, farmers have enjoyed a bounty of 21. per bushel, e., they have sold corn at upwards of 71., and the natural lake u Ss. By favour of the law they have enityed a bounty equal to t wice all the charges upon the laud. These charges are fur every bushel 9d. rent, 2d. rates, Id. taxes kerineow tax, income, dec.). Farmers may well not ask for Manion in these wheaten, they would rather have protection and boar these charges. Oreat Runny pariah, in which Mr. Brighty lives, minium 2,040 acne, 312 inhobi tants, poor's rates 14W per *Amon., ese le. 4d. per acre. The union papers show nearly the same results for all the parishes. Hence reduction is not worth asking for, in cons. ',orison with p totemic's. Farmers can have taair cropping land cleared of all charge. for le. per bushel, and they have been .J ;Tiag 2s. 31w. wee,. M.P. for the county, claimed for the farmers the old sliding scale law, and told them the protectiooist party in parliament were prepared to try for that old law again. By this demand he makes them ask for twice as much as all the charms upon the land. He urges them to ask for that which would make them again penaioners upon the state. He would make teem ink for out door relief, not from the union funds, but from the nation, by paying them an emus pr ee for corn. Mr. Yellows. would make the agriculturists piny a part of the state, like the army, or royal family, cr clergy, or placement He claims for them 66e. per quarter. Without protection they can only have Co. Will the state pay this 2s. bounty upon every bushel, hi order to make the farmers a part of the state retinue ? It was felt at the meeting that protection had been too great, and they were now willing to take less. But they would rather nasaln upon the state than have any reduction of rent, rates, or taxes. And they are sot unwilling to be as the !aristocracy are, or the army, or clergymen. State out door relief is ametioned by high examples. It is not claimed by that name by the femurs, but under the pretence of taxing foreigners. At the same time it taxes natives to the extent of 76 per bushel indeed of Se., the natural price of corn, and what et can be grown for all over the world. Nothing could have been more pleasing to Mr. Bright, than for him to have witnessed at the meeting the trai a of his lecture deliver. din Huntingdon, akw years dam. At that time they isle indigaatet when Mr. Bright told them, they lived and paid then rents by favour of legislation and not by farming. Now they arksouledge that, and demand those laws *gain, or even halt of them. Here is a change and proms. The farmers feel that they have been state pensioners to the extent of 2s. per bushel on all their corm. That line placesnen and clergymen they have been in receipt of public allow once, under the name of a " tax en foreigners," to the extent ot twice all the charges upon land.

A letter from Berlin states that on tie evening of the 20th ult., the whole of the Prussian royal family assembl,d in the grand drawing-rooms at Charlotten burg, to assist at a concert. Mr. Belle, whose opera, the " Bondman,* is under rehearsal had the honour of being invited. in order to accompany the prima donnas Rueter and Tnexeck and, other artists in the performance of three pieces, selected by the king's spacial desire trom Mr. Belle's compositions. These were " Romance " from the " Bohemian Girl," sung by M. Meriting, first to :or to the Open; quartett from the same, by Mes dames liiister and Toone*, and by Messrs. Mantiva and Zethietche; and an air from the " Bondman;" all three pieces beta :dully rendered by the above distin gteielmo artists, and accompanied with delicacy sad sentiment by the composer, drew forth loud and re peated plaudits horn tie royal party and a eociety com not only uf ill ust rious individuals, all competent edges of mussed merit, but of many of the most emi nent dilletanti or Berlin. Their majesties and the me m hers of the royal family evinced their sense of the pleasure affo rd ed them ►y Mr. Balfe's composition by most marked politeness, and by encouraging him to anticipate complete success for the " Bondman " (Der ifulatee), which will probably be brought out in the course of the next three weeks. It may be added that Mr. Balfe and his daughters have been received In the higher circles of Berlin with well merited and flattering attentions. This might be expected when, in addition to their own recommen dations, they bare the support and introduction of Lord and Lady Westmorland. LITERATURE. Sekctwits frosts the Spsclator, Thaw, Guardian, and Irte /solar. 2 vols. Meson, 49. Mrs. Barbauld's charming Preliminary Essay would alone suffice to give value to this selection. That periodicult even of the greatest vogue and talent are henceforth to be only known through selections is quite evident. Even the light volumes of the " Spec tator" already fill too large a apace upon a library shelf, where room must be economised, as well as the time of the reader. In the mass, even these classic works deter, whilst a judicious selection renders them palateable and useful. Without such a sifting as hes taken place in these volumes, the young students of either sex would lose sight even of Addison. It is to be doubted if already the chief acquaintance with him is not derived from scrape and extracts published in colleAions. Now it is not good that such a writer as Addison should be slighted, or should not be brought home, and rendered facile to light and to youthful study. We have abundance of works destined to amuse, as well as works devoted to instruction, to morals, and to piety; but these qualities are no longer to be found united in a cleric mind and a classic style like that of Addison. The., two email volumes supply a great want, and a wholesome recreation.

IRELAND. DrOLIN, JAN. 1. The requisition for the meeting of the county of Dubiiu in support cf protect ion, appeared in the /hewing of last night. l'he meeting has been oorwred for Friday next—" for the purpose of comedians' the expe&ency of adopting petitions to be ready for presentation to both heave of parliament, at the corn iseceement of the approaching seeaioe, representing the imminent rain which impends over every class and interest in this country, m consequence of the depreciated value of agricul•urel produce, the only staple of Ireland, and praying that such a moderate duty may be imposed upon the agricultural produce of foreign countries u may give confidence and secu rity against unlimited depreciation, and afford a fair compensation for the disadvantages to which the home growers are subjected." This must not be confounded with the "aggregate meeting " which was fixed to tske place on the 17th inst., but which the protectionists will cow " shirk," if they possibly can. The county of Donegal is con vened for the 7th inst., and the North Riding of Tip perary for the Bth. Lord (Bengal's petition was discussed yesterday, in the North Dublin Board of Guardians, bat the motion for its adoption was withdrawn, on the sug gestion of a judicious conservative, to escape an in evitable defeat. A vast out-door meeting was held at Templemore, in the county of Kerry, on Wednesday last, in pursu ance of a requisition couched in the following rather formidable terms: RANTS! RENTS!! HINTS !I—LOW PRICES! LOW UNTO! A public meeting will be held on Bt. Stephen's day, at the Cross of Rent, to petition parliament to take into canal &reit.. the elete et the (armies clue, as well as to lay be ore the landlords of this inspoveri•hed union the trier Is. possibility of their continuing to exact the present exorbitant sad eppressive rent, without ruining themselves and their unfo-tunate tenants. The chair will he taken at 2 o'clock precisely. Down with the rents, and hurrah for cheep land, cheap food, an! plenty. The meeting was a very important one, and the moat distinct expression of the feelings of the Irish tenant-farmer class, on the question of protection, yet given utterance to. The chair was occupied by T. O'Sullivan, Esq , of Prospect-lodge, and the following were among the neolu.ions adopted : That it is the opinion of this meeting that the free im portation of corn into this union is essentially neenreary, not only for its well being and prosperity, but for its actual criticises, ; and that any attempt to reimpose a duty on the importation of food can only have the effect of swelling the parses and increasing the rentals of a few landlords, whilst it must, of necessity, tend to the starving of the people. Teat we do not by any means concur or participate in the cry that is being raised against the present poor law, inso much that, with all its defects, it places the burden of the poor on those who are best able, and who ought, to bear it. It, to a certain extent, relieves the struggling farmer of a heavy burden he had hitherto, solely and unaided by the landlord to bear, via , the support of the poor; and it leaves no choice to the landlord between supporting the poor idly and unprofitab!y in the workhouse, and their useful and remunerative employment in the cultivation of the soil out side. That the rents of this union have been at all times immo derate, and of late years so oppressive as to render it impos sible to hold out any longer ni.der so grievous a burden. All our means have gone out for the import of ford daring four successive famines, our fuming produce has fallen to half its value, teratioa has ben doubled, and yet the same rents, with few exceptions, have been demanded and paid with u much severity as they have been in times the most pros perous ant 8 mashing. Seeing, therefcre, no dispwition on the p irt of the landlords to take our case into consideration, sad ening them meet and come together for no other pur p,se than to make more grievous the yoke that has been for centuries cast upon us, it only remains for us to resign their lands and betaas (writhes to a country where a man may feel that he is labouring for himself, and whets the fruits of his labour are not likely to go to other than his own family. At a large meeting of the Coleraine Tenant Right Association held on Saturday last, J. Boyd, Esq., M.P. for Coleraine, in the chair, the following resolu tions were agreed to : That the unexamipl4 distress which has prevailed through out this country during the last few years calls loudly tee amity individual and legislative effort that can be made to cheek it moues& and remove its disatrous effect,. That mach of this distress has arisen from the went of remunerative employment for the labouring populism', which i s mainly caused by the absence of all legal security to the tenant farmers for their permanent improvement et the soil. That in order to enable the agrieul.nrists of this enuotry to meet with sums the compeutioss of foreigners, an exten sive riVorm is required in the law of real property and eon veyancini, • m Rini reduction of rents to a level with the present prises of agricultural produce, and • secured interest to the tenant tumor in the benefit of all substantial improve ments which his own capital chat accomplish. That If these just demands were cone °dal, there is enough eagerly, enterprise, and scientific skill in Great Britain and Ireland to enable the tenant farmer to cuspate with for. igners an successfully u the m mufactur_r is now able to do. That petitions be forwarded from this meeting, and ss far as possible from all the surrounding districts, to both houses of parliament, praying for the legislative reforms pointed out is the foregoing resolutions. Sir A. 13. Brooke, M.P., has addressed a letter to Lord Ohmsll, oomplainitg of the looseness and dis cursive character of his now famous memorial. The Slljs Champion records a singular affair : Through the kincnees of a eorreapondirit, we bays been favoured with the particulars of an Investigation held during the week, relative to the alleged shooting of a highwayman by a Mr. Rea, a Scotch agriculturist, who lately arrived in t►is country. Mr. Rea states that he was attacked t y three men, on the road between Collooney and Sligo, and to self. defence shot one of them. No evidence was brought forward to sustain his statement, and the impression of the bench was, that Mr Rea's foes were not a whit more substantial than Falstaff's men in buckram. The friends of a respect able yeoman, who died a few days ago of scarletina, had their feelings most cruelly outraged. A rumour win: abroad that the deceased was the highwayman ; the body was exhumed, and, on medical examination, the calumny was refuted. The new mayor of Drogheda bag given ,501. to be distributed among the poor, instead of spending it on a civic dinner. Accounts of two or three deaths from destitution in the west of Ireland are given in the papers this morning. The workhouse of the Carrick on Shannon union is described u being in a most deplorable state from fever, neglect, and want of funds. The frost still continues uninterrupted, and skating can now be practised on all the ponds in the vicinity of Dublin.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YrasziwAY. Suess Ma. Q11131'10:4 stiiullsi - fit - iiSit - sia : ii . Cort — 0 . 7: " P AZT M KIS There was a meeting for the pr fol of debts and eln ice of anignees in the matter of Thomas Greenhow and Captain Fares, rectifying distillers, of Old-street The failure is not a heavy one ; the liabilities are said to be about 2,0001. Messrs. Lowrance and Plews were the ooliciton under the bankruptcy. Mr. Lucas supported a proof tendtrcd by Mr. B. West, bookbinder, of St. John-street, Cletkenwell, for 1,7101., 1.000/. of which was advanced by him while in partnership with Orsenhow, under the firm of Greenhow and Co., and was secured by three promissory notes for 3331. 6, Bd. each, given by Oreenhow and Foster at the commencement of their partner hip in September, 1847, the remainder, the value of Mr. West's interest in the busine ts, to be paid by stir ual inst ilmente of 881. each. which were secured by deed. The three promissory notes were made paysble on the 30th September in 1852, 1854, and 1856 respectively, and were rehearsed in the deed eecuricg the payment of the 8801. by the new partnership. The provability of such a debt had been fully establiehed by the decision in " Parker v. Rams bottom and °then" (3 B. and C Mr. Lawrence objected to the proof, because the deed gave the creditor a lien on the partnership property ; and unless this security were surrendered he child not prove. Mr. Lucas consenting to the surrender, Mr. Lawrence farther objected that Mr. West was stilt a partner, there having been no legal disovlution. The firm was still " Oreenhow and C 0.," the same as it hal been when Mr. West was a partner. There were also debts still due from the old firm; consequently Mr. West Gould not prove in competition with his own creditors. A further abjection was, that the whole transaction had been eased on mien pre sentation, the firm being inslivent at the time to the efreut of 8001. The Commissioner—That will not invalidate it, unless you could prove actual fraud. lir. Lawrence would not impute fraud to Mr. West, hut was prepared to show there had been great misrepresentation as to the wets of the firm. Book debts had ben put down at 1,1201, which had not realised half the sum; besides 4641. duo from Oreenbow himself. He would suggest that the proof should stand adjourned till the partnership trans actioas were investigated, as it was clear Mr. West could not be appointed assignee under the circumstances. Mr. Lucas contended that there was not the slightest ground for imputing fraud, and said that the dissolution of the old partnership was complete and binding, although it had not been gasetted. His Honour doubted whether sufficient had been done to make the dissolution known to third parties, some of whom were still creditors of the old firm. Consideriog the p slam in which Mr. West stood, it would be better for him not to have • 'oleo in the choke. Ultimately the proof ;as adjourned, and Mr. Jas.Warren, wine and apwit merchant, of Wit!brook, was appointed trade Amiga. N. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YEaTEADAY. Bosons Ma. OnaussioNss ?smuts. Ix TRH MATtill or TllOlll4lll WEMTWORTH. This insolvent, who was discharged under the act in Fe bracry last, now made hie appearance under the Protection statute. He was opposed by Tt.omu Foulkes, a bill dig waster, and supported by Mr. Nichols. It appeared that the utsolvent, who was a cowkeeper at Camberwell, had since his recent discharge dabbled in bill transactions and got involved. Foulkes now charged him with having ooneealed some property under his former insolvency, or, as be phrased it " put it away." , The insolvent admitted that he had " put away some pro perty " when he last took the benefit of the set, and declared that Foulkes knew all about it. Foulkes stated that he knew nothing about the concealed property until after the insolvent was discharged. - Mr. Commissioner Phillips was of opinion that the Pro tendon Act was not intended for suck a nose. Here was • man who, by hie confession, admitted that ha bad perjured himself when he last took the benefit of the act. How ostlercould he say that such a person was entitled to have a fleet Dlr. Nichols admitted that the insolvent had put himself out of soon. He would merely observe that the offence wee committed under the former, and not under the present pe tition. He would prefer having the petition dismissed to an adjournment sine die. The learned Commissioner accordingly &mimed the pe tition. Postacrry To Cum mama ras Prnoxicrtorn Acr.

MANSION-HOUSE. AN OLD TRICK ADROITLY yinITORNIRD.— Wil Blaelgors, a weldreeted young man, 'rho appeared to be cfectly at his ease, and the moment he was put to the bat an to take notes of the evident* against him, was charged before Alderman liumphery with having stolen a theodolite, value 261. The details excited some merriment. Mr. Jelin Symonds Harrod, optician, of No. 63, King Willieworeet, said—The prisoner came to my shop on Wednesday to inquire about a theodolite, but I dM not we him till Thursday, when he again called, and he then told me he was one of the firm of an upholsterer's house in Great Jame street, Bedford row, handing me a card of the esta blishment, and that a customer of the house wanted a theo dolite. He said he wished to know what commission I would allow open the sale of the article, and I agro d to sllow him 10 per cent. He very much premed me to go to his warehouse to select fur niture to the whole amount, which I refused to do, and we finally agreed that the purehess was to be a cash transaction. I was to send the theodolite ea Saturday, to No. 21, Fea therstone -buildings, Holborn, when his friend, whose name he slid was Mr. Hutt, would pay the amount. He 'hewed me a note purporing to come from Mr. Hutt, and stating that it the aruele was sent at • certain tame on Satuiday evening he would be there and settle for it. I gent it &word ing to 1111.44o:dens, with strict injunctions to my servant not to part with it without the mummy. af•er waiting a long time my man returned, not with the money, nor the article, but with the stand on which the article had been Owed —(laughter)—and he informed me that the gentleman who made the purchase took the theodolite off the stand, and from ens room Into another, jut to show it to his friend, and turned ? but walked away leaving the stand upon the mtge. Upon inquiring of the landlady of the house he learned that the gentleman had only just taken the apart manna, and that he had just gone out. (Leughter.) Alderman Humphery—And you were to have allowed him 60s. upon the sale of the article to his friend ? Witnese—Yes. Alderman Ilumphery—He was of course a stranger to the house ? Witness—They knew nothing at all about him there, or about his friend Mr. Hutt. I hed given the most positive directions to my m►n net t 3 leave the theodolite without the M 000). William Gray, shopotan to the proeecu'or, was then called, and Aldermen Humpbery proceeded to put . questions to that witness, but was interrupted by the prisoner, who com llained, raising hi+ head from his notes, that it was unfair to ead a witness, aid suggested the propriety of adhering strictly to the rules of evidence, especially in a cue involvii g character. (Laughter.) Mr. Goodman (the chief clerki said there was not in the enquiry before the court the slightest departure from the mode of ex imination sanctioned by the judges, and adopted throughout the kingdom. The Prisoner—Olt, very well; go on. go on. William Gray—The pruner clime to me in the first in; stance and asked me whether we had an iestrument of the sort, and I showed him the theodolite, and told him the price was MI. He then asked me what per centsge would be allowed upon the sale. I told him I could not tell, but that Mr. Merritt would he at home at six o'clock. He re presented himself to me as having cnme from an upholsterer's twuse in Great James-street, Bedford-row. After Mr. Marian had sten the prisoner I rewired instructions to take the theodolite to Featherstone•buildinp, Holborn, and not to part with it without the money. Alderman Humphery—Awl w hy did you ? Witness—The thing was done in such a way it was impos sible to acppoose that a robbery was intended. I was to tr ait,. 251, and the prisoner was to c,ll and settle with Mr. Narrate on Monday. I arrived at Featherstone buildings at • quarter past six on the Saturday evening, and a young woman showed me up stairs to the first floor front. I saw the prisoner, and h e told me his friend would be there in a few 'minute; He walked about the room, put his hand upon a plan forte which was there, and asked me whether Mr. 51arratt would want that. (Laughter.) I Hid I thought not, ac he had one already. He then went out of the rot m, and I heard the hell ring, and tt.en he came again, and said his friend was come, and he would show him the instrument, so off he took it, leaving the stand upon the table and me in the room. (Laughter.) Alderman Huniphery—Why did you not follow him out of the room ? I suppose you stayed there to take cue of the stand. (Laughter.) Witness—l saw him, as I thought, go to the bedroom where he said his friend was, and had no notion of a fraud. I sat down for a few minutes, and afterwards I saw the lar d lady, who, in reply to my questions, said the gentleman had gone out ; that he had taken the lodgings that morning, and was to go in on Monday ; and the • knew nothing what ever about him. I then saw that 1 tat done, and I went home with the stand. (Laughter.) The prisoner seemed to utile the joke very much, and upon being asked whether be wished to ask the witneu any questions. said " No; that'll do." (Laughter.) A. R. Wot d, a pawnbroker, said—Toe prisoner, whom I have teen before, cams to me at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening, to ask me whether I would take in a theodolite, an: he afterwards came b , tween 8 and 9 with the instrument, upon which I lent him 41. He told me he was a surveyor, and had used the theodolite in 1845 and 1846 in railway businew, and had earned as much as 81. a day with it. He pledged it in the name of William Hutt, 37, Windmill , street, Tottenham-court-road. Here the theodolite was produced and identified. Storey, the officer, said that having heard of the robbery be ascertained the fact of the pawning, and apprehended the prisoner next morning in the pawnbroker's shop, to which he had taken a party who was to have bought the insteu mutt out and out. Upon being charged ro the thief the prisoner did not deny the truth of the accusation. Alderman Humphery, having read to the prisoner the usual words of caution, eked him whether he wished to say anything. The prisoner (with a smile)—Oh dear, no. Aldermen Humphery said the robbery was managed with great neatneu and apparent simplicity, and the practice which led to such perfection in the art must have been moat extraordinary. He expected to hear of severed upon the publication of the case. He, however, must my he was surprised that so ingenious a fellow should have gone into the lion's mouth next day. Storey sa d that many robberies of the kind had been very lately perpetrated in the City, and no doubt with the rid of the prisoner. Committed for trial. The Lard Mayor requested that the press would acknow ledge his receipt raf 204 from " T. and S.' for the poor-box MARLBOROUGH- STREET. BILL DISCOUNTING.—Louis Joel, till discounter and jeweller, Little Argyll-street, was brought up for further ex amination on a charge of having (aged a bill for 1,6001., purporting to have been accepted by a young gentleman named John Marcus Clements, and on a second charge of having fraudulently obtained three bills for 7501. from Lieutenant Garland. The ;:lepoeitions baying been completed, Mr. Compel', the solicitor, of Warwick -street, whose sir= is concerned (or the London and Dublin Back, applied to have the bill given back into his poem/ion, as he had only parted with it on the understanding that it would be given back to him again when the evidence was closed. It was indispensable to have the bill on the p•oceedings now pending on behalf of the London and Dublin Bank. Mr. Bingham said the solici.or was under a wrong im preision about any unierstending that the bill would be given back to him. Nothing of the sert took place. The 13.11 would be kept in safe custody, bet would be forthcoming tor the purposes of the solicitor wh it might be m9 The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute. The second charge for fraudulently obtaining three bills for 7601. from Lieut. Garland, was about to be called on, when Mr. Ballantine row and said his client wished the , cue to be further adjourned in order to give him further time to cossult with his friends, and prepare his answer to the charge. A caseareatkan then took place, in the course of which Mr. Clarkson, on behalf of Lieut. Garland, stated that that gentleman had paid every bill palmed by him, with the ex eeption of these instruments, which had boon obtained f rom him under circumstances that formed the ground of the preeent_proceedings. Mr. Ballantine assured his learned friend there wen not the least disposition on the pert of the prisoner to cast any reflections on Lieut. Garland. The dierussi.m wee cut abort by Mr. Bingham naming two sureties of 7501. each, and his own recognisances in 1,0001, as the bail for the priii,ner, who is to come up again neat Monday. SOUTHWARK.
