THIS EVENING, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, And during the WEEK, AT a GENERAL MEETING o f the SUBSCRI DEWS to LLOYD'S, held on WIDIIISDAY, the 10th of Dftembet, 1828, BATH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. s- - and on which they had calcu'ated; again, the young members on withdrawing their pittances, instead if keeping such savings together. were then too apt to " eat, drink, and be merry," while t' e money used, and be regardless about savings for the future. Those societies. in fact, engaged to fulfil impossibilities. The Itev. Mr. PiraLea added, that there was another objection. If the contemplated friendly associations could he promoted, when it came to be known that it was by such means intended to reduce poor rates, he feared th it subscriptions would not be very nuerieroun (There were afterwards many specimeos produced of grass and straw plait, manufactured by girls delight, ten, and fifteen years of age; they were pronounced to be very meritorious, as affording advantageous employment to those wanting it.] THR ZING'S DONATION. Captain Swarm., on the premiums being mentioned, askeJ whether it was worth while to contiane on their books the offer of a premium of fifty guineas for the greatest number of acres of A 4: cultivated on Dart moor, as, though offered for eleven years, • it had never been claimed ? Mr. ELWIN observed,.that the tom la as his Majesty's anniral donation as Duke of Cornwall, and that though the premium WAS not claimed, the sum went into their general funds. To discontinue the offer of premium could be to deprive the Society of so mo,h money. Captain ScoaELL said he did not know how they could take the money if there were no claim for the premium; the money was for a specific object. Mr. DAVIES begged to remove any alarm that might be caused about the donation, by withdrawing the offer of a premium; that the depar tment with which he was connected (:he Duchy f Cornwall) would afford any .assistance, so that the donation might be satisfactorily atppropri * ared. Dr. PAREY, adverting to a series of experiments that had been ttied, but n. - it completed, proposed a premium. for the discovery of the catres of." c 'Act," " American blight," in fruit trees, &c. He had been a great sufferer from the blight in fink trees. It would be importaat to know the causes of the barrenness in trees—how to counteract such d•seases—whether they resulted from the coil, from the age of the trees, or from insects (Hear). As yet the causes were wholly unknown, though the effects were of the most de,tinctive and extensive character. He had had great labour on the subject, bet as yet without success. Mr. WEBS HALL proposed a premium for the best specimens of wheat; how grown; quahrty per acre pinduced, &c. Mr. SMITHIES proposed the withdrawal of the pre mium to agricultural servants for bringing up the greatest number of children without application to the parish; because on the pres-nt pay it Was impossible that labourers with numerous families could bring them up without parish aid, except they were peculiarly fa voure,!—(H..m). Mr. DAVIES bore testimony to the accuracy of this statement, and said that be had made inquiries where premiums had been awarded, and found that the Is. bourers had been peculiarly favoured by the farmers. having " grist" arid corn at In ter than the market prices —( I lea!). There was uo compe ition. The Me-tang concurred in the propriety of the with drawal of such premium. The Right Honourable the LORD MAYOR, In the Chair %SALM) UNANIINUILY —That the sum of £740 be paid from the Funds of this House, for the purpose of defraying a portion of the expenses of a Criminal Prosecution, instituted against certain Parties, for a Conspiracy to defraud the Underwriters on a Por mune vessel, named the Diana, insured on a voyage from Oporto to Brazil. On Monday took place, at Hetling [louse, Bath, the fist Annual Meeting of the " Bath and West of Eng land Society, for the Encouragement of Agriculture, Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce. instituted 1777." Mr. H. ELwIN stated, that he feared that the Marquis of Lansdow n, their President, who had promised to attend, would not be able to fulfil his promise. lie had received a lett r flout the NA:4e Marquis, dated Nice, in which his Lordship mentioned Oat he was on his way to England, by the :mite of Paris; but that his journey was impeded by the falling of the torrents from the mountains, which had broken up the roads, and rendered it impossib'e to travel with safety. The Noble Ma-q rif, however, added, after repeating his, anxiety for the prosperity of the S iciety, that if he could pos t sibly get to England in time find he should make every practicable effort to do so). he should be most happy to attend f)r the purpose tif presidirg.

We have already had the foibles, the follies, and the virtues also, of fashionable life at hnme laid open to our view in various publications. which have within the last few years issued from the London Press. In the volumes now before us, we have presented to us fashi , nable life and fashionable manners as they . ezi t at the present day in the mighty, populous, rich, and ez'ensive Empire of India—a subject which affords a wide and interesting field for displaying the ta lent of the Author, and from which to glean emu se went for the Reader. The picture which is here drawn of the manners and mode of life of the higher classes of European Resider is in Calcutta, as well as of the prejudices, superstitions, habits, and cus toms of the native inhabitants of India, generally, shows on the face of it that the Authoress is well acquainted with the subject on which she writes. We say the authoress, for we understand that the work is from the pen of a Lady, the widow of an Officer, who was long resident in India, and moved for several.years in the first circles of society in that country. S! :e lias 'taken advantage of the opportunities thus afforded her for gaining information, which she communicates to 'her readers in a pleasing easy style, that ren-lers her 'work at once amusing and instructive. The picture 'drawn of high life in the East Indies, allowing for the diffirence which climate and natural causes must pro 'dike, varies very little from that which is exhibited dail by our fa'hionables at home: a fine Lady and a man' of fashion are the same in both climates—pleasure is their pursuit, and splendour their idol. But the au thoress does not confine herself to delineating the follies of the society of which she writes, her work is inter spersed with observations on the present state of the country and of the natives, well Giese' wing attention.

IL Et.wist read the Repoli of the C immittee of Superintendence, stating that they bad been in corres pondence with Sir B. liobhouse as to changing the oh. ject of his annu 41 premium : but owing, as Di. Parry stated, to Sir B. Hohhouse's illness, the illness of his wife, the dea h of a daughter, and the :et ions indispo. siting: of another daiighte , , the worthy Baronet was unable to attend to any business. It also mentioned that the notices for shows of cattle were more numerous than List year, the e being 35 candidates and 8:: cattle ; whereas last year there were but two-thuds of stitch numbers. On proposing the Committee to examine the cattle, Mr. NICHOLLS (a tuccesstul exhibitor of cattle for many year), objected to one of the C bmmittee, whose name was consequently withdrawn, ttld bald that this year would be the last 1 (4,4 exhib:tion, SUCII was his disapprobation ot the moue of conducting the business. He, nevert'iele-s, would fat cattle again, and now de clared that he would enter into competition with any individuals for ts.enty guineas of their own money ;but no more would he exhibit for the premiums of this So ciety. He should not object to competition as to the breeds and feed (4f cattle on lair ground., and where impartial justice was likely to be done to merit in cattle. Mr. Wass lima. presumed that Mr. Nicholls with drew from these public competitions because his cup board was filled with pl,ite won from tie Society.

COMM These volumes are attributed to Mr. Croly, the :uthor of Sotalkie', and display in an eminent degree the vigo rous imagination and splendid desctiptive powers of that deservedly popular Romance. The great beauty of the present production consists in the strength and propriety of its style, which is so tempered by the writer, according as the variation of subject requires, that whether the scene be of the humourous or serious east, the reader is equally delighted; the rapiJity with *filch the incidents succeed each other, the talents exerted in working up the plots, and the brilliancy of colouring throughout, are also among the power ful attractions of these volumes. The tales are sup posed to be related by travellers, who, crossing the Alps, ate compelled by sudden inclemency of weather to congregate together for shelter, in a con vent or Hospice of Mount S. Bernard. The first, en titled the Woes of Wealth, is related by an English Squire, who has cpii ted hi, country, not from the mere rage for roaming over the Continent, but to avoid the inteerable miseries consequent on a sudden accu mulation of wealth. Toe case is made out with an infinity of wit and ingenuity; some extravagancies appear indispensably necessary. The scene of the second tale, Plebe, is laid in the provinces ti Wal -14-hia, S:rvia, Bulgaria, and Riimelia. It is litre that Mr. CROLY'S brilliant talents shine in all their lustre ; nor will we attempt to describe.the effects which he produces by his knowledge of ihose countries, their his tory, and the manners and customs of their liz-d, half-savage inhaisit inti—the combination is per t ct, though we have to object interne instance t s the tritroduction of incidents apparently supernatural, no solution of which is sub•equently offered. There are teveral other minor tales, but as we despair of doing justice to our Author by an extract suited to our space from the body of the work, we must refer our readers to the work itself. TALES AND CONFESSIONS. by Larren Mecum. One Vul. Sanni, &Das, and Co. Corohlll. This work comprise!, in a single volume, a fund of amusement which we have frequently sought for in vain in publications extending to a much greater length, and holding forth in their Title pages. almoPt unbounded pretensions. Under the pimple title of Mks and Confessions, Mr. Ritchie has given us a series of stories combining food f r all appetites— The old or the young, the grave or the gay, may each find amusement suited to his peculiar taste; and whilst the admirer of light reading will not be deterred from taking up the work by the prospect of a laborious pilgrimage through a narrative extended to the length of three or tour volumes, the reader, who would be thought to pursue the more substantial path of literature, will find, on the perusal of Taki and Con• lesions, a full reward for his condescension in the Amus ment which he will desire from it. The narratives, upwards of twenty in number, vary in their charactrr pet the style of each is well adapted to its subject. In a word, the event of imagination and the power of de scription displayed by the author in this volume of trifle', proves his capabilities for much greater things, should he feel disposed to attempt them, in this class of Literatures - or:own' 01 WOOL. Dr. PARRY read the Report on two essays regarding the. improvemer trf wool." 'lite first es,ay set torch that the pre.ent sta.e of public It eimg, in requiting much attention to be paid to the carcase, int! Ord rte improvement of the wo I; and th.tt the sheltering of sheep wgs of greet impor twice to the adv.iiicernerit of the wool. That plan was aJopte.: bs the Sazons, and covered folds, therefore, bezatne advisable. It lamented that obstacles opposed themselves to the due improve ment of the fl.ece; difference of value for eighteen years, lowness of price of late, ece. and it is said that the co-open ation of the Legislature must be obtained to advance attention to fleece and carcase, promoted by crosses of Weeds. The Committee said, that if superior carding wool were required (to supersede importAtion), they were of cipir,ion that such benefit could only be ffected by the intr9duction of families of sheep not now posses.ed by thiscountry ; but they were decidedly of r wnion als that, in promoting improvement in %poi, profit.ble attention to the meat needed not to be neglected. The second slay recommended a cross of Merinos. FRIENDLY SVCIETIES. The SECRETARY then read a letter from R. Young (a Quaker), of Melvertun, compl.tining of the character of the pn•ceedings of this Society ; that there was a falling off in the intet est of their transactions; and that there was great complaint, he thought, attributable to the sameness of the premiums offered year atter year. N it considering such prejudtcial sameness to be absolutely requisite, he begged_to suggest that premiums might be proposed; Ist, for the promotion of " Friendly Societies," to im prove the condition of the working classes, and perhaps eventually to reduce the poor rates ; 2d, to encourage experiments as to the burning of clay, for the purpose of elucidating the theory of combustion, and its cost as manure, adding that 400 bushels of clay had been burned by half a faggot of good; Sd, for the improve ment of the growth of beans; 4th, for the amendment of the system of malting in the West of England, by skreening the malt; sth, by proper gradations to intro duce the general use of the Imperial measure; 6th, to promote experiments to ascertain new manures, parti cularly to try whether the residuum of gas might not be usefully applied to purposes of agriculture as manure; 7th, to ascertain what are the best soils for growing sanfoin ; and, Bth, to encourage the exhibitions of their live stock in Exeter and Salisbury. Mr. ELWIN said, that most of the objects of their complaining " friend's" letter had been considered by the Society at different times, as far as those objects accorded with its views. They could not appropriate their funds to promote "friendly societies;' but, on the subject of friendly societies, useful as they may be to the poor, if established on proper principles, from his connection with the Savings Bank of that city, he had the means of knowing that too many of such societies were frauds upon the poor; that out of forty societies, whose rules, &c. he had investigated he did not believe that one of them was solvent; that if all the demand that might be made, supposing there should be numerous sick, &c. were made, the fund would not realise the pi omise. The consequences welt very dreadful. When the aged or sick members came to make numerous demands, the young members .soon got alarmed, and the result too frequently was that the society was broken up, the aged being deprived that relief for which they had during years subscribed, Irr'iii~fii BEER PIPES. The Rev. Mr. Pamirs asked what was the use of the premium of 101. to the publican who shall for the longest period use pipes made of pure tin or iron, or pipes into the composition of which ,either lead, copper, o. any other injurious metal, enters Dr. WiLetNioN, said that this premium had been adopted at his suggestion. It regarded a matter of consid , rable importance and interest to the community. When he was in practice, or engaged in giving lectures, he had ascertained that the pipes used by publicans in the machines with which they pumped up the beer un derwent a rapid dissolution. These pipes, he believed, now were exposed to still qu;cker dissolution. in corn sequence of the changes that had taken place in the manufacture of beer for public houses. He had also AbC , it:tired that these combined causes had coil, ibuted to increase the number oft a. alytic case.. He had said that he would undertake to show that in every pint of beer brought to him he could precipitate a portion of lead from it. II the common pipes, then, were so de 'ective and noxious, how important was it to provide a remedy for what was so injurious to health ! He had reason to believe that innolious pipes could be provided. The R4v. Mr. PHELPS—Yes, zinc pipes. ILNOLISH TOBACCO. Mr. HANNINO gave notice that, at the next meting, he should call the attention of the Society to the pro- priety of adopting steps for the encouragement of the growth of tobacco, and of calling the attention of Minis ters and Parliament to the removal of such regulations and laws as now stood in the way of cultivating the tobacco plant in England. By such amelioration of our system, and by promoting the growth of such plant at home—and its practicability was koo.vn—Englishmen might participate in some of those advantages now so extemively enjoyed by foteigners—(llear, heat). He concidered the subject to merit the attention of all. [During the progress of the Meeting, a letter was re ceived from Sir T. Lethbridge, dated Sand Hill Park e ' lamenting that the death of his friend, W. G. Langton, jun. EA. would prevent him from attending ibcSocietya Accounts from Madeira to the 231:1 ult. were received yesterday. The Island was tranquil; many of the per sons lately imprisoned had been released; and those accused by the Authorities, who kept uut of the way, were not sought after. The attention of the inhabitants had been directed to an old Abbess, lat••ly from Lisbon, who was taking steps agaimt the pout Nulls; the latter are accused, not of Constitutional faults, but of having, in their fears of the late revolt, quit , ed their Convent, and been exposed to the sight of men. The following characteristic anecdote is taken from 'a Pniladelphia Pape, : One of the ctew of the Mace donian, having received the wages of the late three years' cruise, went with the money in his hand into his stoic, and having purchased a pocket book. put the roll of notes in his waistcoat rocket, and the pocket-book into that of his round jack.•t. The storekeel•er told him th4t it was the fashion to put money in the pocket book, but the sailor affirmed he was up to the tricks of the land lubber s, and wen* ff. The nezt day he returned to the store, exclaiming in great glee, " They've got it give me another!" He had indeed lost the pocket book, but secured his notA. !St nd he tri Gm 4 a As SOO SV. Al.
